At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Xie Yuheng took out the military token and showed it to Zhao Zheng.

She said, "We originally ordered 10,000 elite soldiers to leave the capital, but many horses died on the way, and many soldiers fell ill from exhaustion. Now there are only about 9,500 soldiers in the camp."

"By the way, we also met the daughter of the King of the West on the road..."

Xie Yuheng told Zhao Zheng everything about Su Rina, the problems with the Wusun grain route, and the descendants of the Pei family.

The deputy general suddenly realized, "It turned out that the delay in sending troops was due to the civil strife."

"It's a pity... that I didn't get the news first."

"It's been a while now, I think Wusun's baggage train will be rearranged soon."

Zhao Zheng frowned and thought, "King Xixian sent troops to Wusun. I think he was determined to burn his boats and buy time for Daliang."

"Ugh!"

The old general sighed heavily, his eyes went blank and he muttered something.

"The Yizhou army was ambushed. We wanted to cooperate with the King of the West to attack from both sides, but we have no troops to do anything!"

After a moment, he looked at Xie Yuheng, "During the past few days since I was injured, the deputy general asked someone to pretend to be me and continue to patrol every day."

"But, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. I don't think we can hide this from Wusun for long."

Zhao Zheng changed the subject and said, "The Pei family is your mother's family, and Uncle Pei Tong is also a famous scholar throughout the ages."

"There are still other descendants alive. Why don't you take those nine thousand elite soldiers and find a way to find them?"

Although he said it tactfully, everyone understood it clearly. This was to let Xie Yuheng go.

Yes, given the current situation, it is not safe to stay in Yumen.

Leaving early may give you a glimmer of hope.

Chu Chen smiled and continued to fan himself. As a member of the royal family, he seemed to have heard nothing.

Xie Yuheng lowered his eyes and looked at the old general, saying only: "Now all the news comes from Su Rina, and the details are still unknown."

"If it is true, where in the vast universe should Yu Heng be found?"

"If it's fake, then Yu Heng is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and there's no way back?"

Zhao Zheng felt a headache after hearing this.

Isn't this child extremely smart?

Why is it that right now, it's like I'm possessed by that kid Ming Cheng and I can't understand what he means? !

What is there to look for? Whether you are looking for it or not, you just wander around in the Gobi Desert.

After returning to Beijing, given his past contributions, he would at most be reprimanded. Why would he stay in Yumen and wait for death?

Yes, waiting to die.

The Yizhou army was ambushed and had no reinforcements from other places. Even a veteran like Zhao Zheng felt that the chances of winning were slim.

However, someone has to guard this border, and it can only be defended for a while.

They, the soldiers, have long been accustomed to licking blood on the tip of the knife and experiencing the separation of life and death.

But if there are younger generations left, especially smart ones, maybe they can find a glimmer of hope for Daliang in the future?

"Yuheng, be obedient!"

Zhao Zheng held Xie Yuheng's wrist tightly and looked at her with eyes full of hope and desire...

However, Xie Yuheng's attitude remained firm. "Uncle Zhao, in this chaotic world, who can stay out of trouble?"

"Does he want Yuheng to find a remote mountain forest and live in seclusion? Put a stick on your head as a hairpin, and carry a hoe every day, get up in the morning and go home in the evening?"

"I'm afraid that won't work! Not to mention that Wusun hates Yuheng to the core, they will find me even if they dig three feet into the ground."

"The main reason is that Yuheng has no talent for farming, and all the flowers and plants he has raised since childhood have short lifespans!"

In short, whatever you sow will die.

Chu Chen burst out laughing, shaking with laughter, "Short life, hahahaha..."

Zhao Zheng was helpless, "With the financial resources of your Xie family, do you really need a little guy like you to farm by yourself?"

"Thank goodness your second brother writes to you every month, praising you like a flower."

"I think you two brothers are the same, with the same brains!"

Xie Yuheng smiled and did not refute, seeing that Zhao Zheng had completely given up the idea of ​​letting her go.

She tapped the wooden board beside the bed with her long fingers and glanced at the deputy general and several guards in the tent.

How can he get rid of the enemy? And how can he show Zhao Zheng the power of the grenade?

As if he could see through her thoughts, Chu Chen cleared his throat and acted like a prince.

"Everyone, please go out for a moment. The king and the general have something to discuss in secret!"

The guard looked embarrassed, "This..."

Now the general is lying in bed unable to move. What if King Rui wants to harm him and take the opportunity to seize the military power and rebel?

The general is like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of anyone!

Zhao Zheng changed his posture and lay down, squinted his eyes, and said, "Everyone get out."

Haha, he doesn't know yet that Prince Rui has been a scoundrel since he was a child!

Others might rebel against Chu Heng, but not King Rui!

The personal guards left the central military tent one after another. However, before the deputy general left, he looked at Xie Yuheng in confusion, as he had not moved.

However, King Rui and the general did not say anything, and as a deputy general, he could not say much.

After the soldiers left, Chu Chen sat down at the table, crossed his legs, and reached out to grab a loquat from the high-legged plate to eat.

Chu Chen ate half a loquat with the skin on, feeling so comfortable that every strand of his hair felt refreshed.

"It's so sweet! I was in such a hurry on the road and haven't eaten fresh fruits for several days!"

Zhao Zheng: “…” He said that this guy was a gangster.

He looked at Xie Yuheng and asked, "You little guy, you sent everyone away. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Xie Yuheng chuckled and said, "It was Prince Rui who sent the person away, not Yuheng."

"Is such that......"

After half a cup of tea, Chu Chen had a handful of loquat peels and cores piled up next to him.

Zhao Zheng looked dazed, if it weren't for the dull pain in his wound.

He almost thought that he had passed away and entered the underworld, and that he had heard auditory hallucinations because he drank Meng Po soup.

Chu Chen burped loudly and glanced at the old general's expression.

As he continued to peel the skin, he said, "If this central army tent wasn't too small, I should have asked Yu Heng to put one in there for you to see."

"It's not an exaggeration to say it's like a bolt of lightning from the sky!"

Xie Yuheng held his forehead and added, "Since we were in a hurry to get on the road, I didn't bring much."

Of course, this is only apparent.

If all else fails, let a pig bird live up to its reputation as a divine bird.

"I wonder what the situation is like with the Wusun coalition?"

Zhao Zheng looked dazed, and replied subconsciously: "The Wusun coalition army is still dominated by Wusun soldiers, who probably account for half of it."

"As for the remaining Scythians and Iliads, I don't know exactly."

"However, Ile is only a small country. It not only harassed the Western Xianbei, but also sent troops to join the alliance. Perhaps it is not as numerous as the Scythians."

"Right now, the coalition forces are camping forty miles outside the pass."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuheng quickly calculated it in his mind.

"It is known that the Wusun coalition army has about 25 men. If Wusun accounts for half of them, then the number would be men."

"I don't know the exact details of the Scythians and the Ileans, but I guess they are not too different."

"Perhaps both sides have more than 100,000 people, and the number of Yili is slightly less."
