Chapter 561
Xu Zixu walked very slowly, but he didn't look back.Li Anxi stood up, listening to the voices fading away behind her, the faint light in her heart seemed to be blown by the wind, almost completely extinguished.

……

When Ziling opened his eyes, the silver carbon burning in the stove in the tent beeped, bringing not only warmth but also dull carbon dioxide.

It was almost evening, and Ziling got up and walked out of the camp. Soldiers not far outside were already preparing for the westward expedition.The curtain of the opposite tent suddenly opened, and Mu Xiu walked out. Seeing Ziling standing in the air, he couldn't help frowning, and walked over to take off his cloak and tie it on for her.

"It's cold, be careful of catching cold." After speaking, Mu Xiu turned around and left.

Ziling touched the cloak that still had a man's body temperature on his body, looked at the slender and resolute back, and slowly lowered his eyelashes.

After dinner in the evening, the one hundred thousand troops began to rush from the station to Luoyan Pass, and it took them five days to arrive.As for Chu Yang, he was unaware of the approaching threat, and Mu Xiu and Zi Ling had concealed the fact that they had placed Ping Lan's eyeliner.

When the soldiers and civilians on the border of Luoyanguan were still immersed in the joy of the New Year, Pinglan's army suddenly came under pressure, catching them by surprise.

At this time, there were only [-] soldiers and civilians staying in Guancheng. Li Anxi returned to the court to report on his duties. Although they were not small, they had no leader. .

Seeing that the defense was weak and the border was broken, the deputy general who stayed behind immediately led the rest of the people to retreat to the second line. The people were unable to escape and panicked. It gave the people a lot of food.

After only a short rest for one night, Ping Lan's army continued to move forward, the whole way was like a broken bamboo, except for the necessary fighting, there was no bloodshed.Pinglan's army treats the people of Chu Yang as if they love their own people, and they will not easily hurt a single cent.

There are a total of 12 soldiers guarding the Chuyang border, guarding seven cities.The news that Luoyan Pass was breached was rushed to the imperial capital and appeared in front of the emperor. At first glance, Jin Yu was furious, and immediately ordered Li Anxi to return to the border to fight against Pinglan's army.

From the imperial capital to the border, Li Anxi ran for eleven days without sleep, and when he arrived, all the seven border cities had fallen.Ping Lan's army descended like a ghost, making Chu Yang's soldiers helpless to resist.

In just 12 days, Qicheng fell, and only [-] of the [-] troops he personally led were left. Ping Lan's unexpected attack this time really caused heavy losses to the border.

The border is broken, which is equivalent to opening the country's gate. The next Changzhou and Qizhou are Pinglan's next targets. If these two states are broken, it is equivalent to breaking into the interior of Chu Central. At that time, the whole country will be in jeopardy.

Li Anxi's heart sank. When he rode his horse and arrived at the soldiers' station, what he saw was very desolate. The soldiers who used to be high-spirited were now being hit one after another, dejected and without any energy.

When they arrived, several lieutenants came out to greet them. Li Anxi didn't care that he was exhausted from the long journey, so he hurriedly asked about the situation of the battle, but the lieutenant shook his head and sighed, his words were desolate.

"In Pinglan's army, there is a powerful female military adviser. She seems to know all our plans, and every step we take is in her calculations."
