Xiao Suo fell asleep at dawn, Shen Yan woke up soon, saw that he was sleeping so soundly with his eyes closed, so he didn't bother him, and tiptoed out of bed and went to the outside room.

The charcoal basins have all been extinguished, and the tent is icy cold, like an ice house under the mountain of the boat, and even the clothes are cold to the touch.

Shen Yan ordered people to put together a few more pots of fire and bring them in, then brought Xiao Suo's luggage, took out two clean and thick winter clothes, put them on the stove to bake, and put them on for Xiao Suo when he got up.

Ruan Tong still came over early in the morning, he seemed to be tired, and he didn't know if he hadn't slept all night.

Seeing this, Shen Yan sent someone to roast venison and steam rice, and said, "Why did you come here so early? Last night, you didn't go to sleep until early in the morning, so you don't have much rest today."

"My heart is in a mess, I can't sleep. Thank you General for your concern." Ruan Tong glanced inward, "Master Xiao hasn't woken up yet, were you exhausted last night?"

"Well, he didn't sleep until dawn, and now he feels calm, so speak softly." Shen Yan casually scooped up two handfuls of cold water, wiped his face, wiped his hands hastily and said, "You came just in time, I'm just in time If you want to find a careful person to count the military pay, and you have to interrogate the prisoners captured yesterday, you can go there with me."

Just as Ruan Tong was about to agree, seeing Eleven came in with breakfast and opened the curtain, he said: "General, let's eat first, and it's not too late to go over after eating."

"Have you eaten?" Shen Yan swallowed a bowl of sorghum porridge, stuffed two cakes, and said: "If you haven't eaten yet, you can eat here. After eating, we can discuss it and see what we can do." Break the enemy."

Ruan Tong didn't refuse, went to the table and put some porridge in his bowl, ate it slowly with a spoonful of spoons and said, "Tu Shanguo can't hold on because he hoped that our food and wages would be exhausted. When we were suffering from cold and hunger, they conquered us in one fell swoop. But now that the imperial court has brought us food again, in my opinion, they should change their strategy."

"That's not necessarily the case." Shen Yan stood in front of the map, frowning and said, "Even if we bring more food and salaries, if they don't come out, we will finish eating one day. You need to know where they are, but the back Depending on the country, there is no need to worry about food and clothing. Even if it takes a few years, there will be no difficulty. We are different, and we have to make a quick decision. They also saw this point and made this move."

"It would be great if there was a way to get in, or cut off their military supply." Ruan Tong put down the bowl, got up and walked to him, pointed to the place where the Tu Shan army camped on the map and said, "This is where the Tu Shan army camped. Shan's only road is barren hills on both sides, and there is no fork in the road. They are so blocked, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is almost impossible to fall from the sky. If you go down from the top, you have to fall to your death; It is impossible to dig a trench from the bottom. It is freezing cold, and the soil is covered with ice, which is harder than rocks, and it is impossible to use a shovel. But if they cannot conquer this camp, they will not be able to enter the Tushan Kingdom, and they will transport food to this place. If there is a road, we will not be able to rob it."

Shen Yan sighed and said: "That's what makes people worry, they just can't come out, and we can't get in, so we can only stare and watch. Before I came here, I only heard that their Leopard Army is powerful, but now I don't even have a chance to fight. "

Eleven leaned forward and said, "Master, that's all. What's more important is that now we are exhausted here every day, and the soldiers can't hold back anymore. We only raided a few hundred people yesterday, so I made them so happy." , it can be seen that the suffocation in my heart is suffocating. Moreover, those people are all families, waiting here, not fighting, and not seeing their parents, wives and children. They are so irritable that they wish they could stop fighting , let’s go home now.”

"This is also one of the opponent's attempts to scatter the morale of our army," Ruan Tong said.

"Forget it, don't think about such an annoying thing." Shen Yan strode out of the tent and walked to the back of the camp, "Where are the people arrested yesterday? Interrogate them, you have to find a place to vent your anger .”

Eleven then said, "It's in the pile of firewood at the back. I've seen them all. They are all Han Chinese, and they don't have a family."

Shen Yan said with a sneer: "Tushan people look similar to us, but their attire is different. If you wear our toga with big sleeves and hair, you can't tell which country they are from. I think they are very suspicious. It must be a fan."

He had already said in the battle report sent back to the imperial court that Xiao Suo and him designed to lure Tushan people into the bait - thus exonerating him.Then these people must be of the Fan family, and even if they were not, he would have to insist that they were.

When Xiao Suo woke up, it was time to have lunch, Shen Yan heard the movement, ran in from outside the tent to check, and saw his Dubao looking around with ignorant eyes, apparently still in a dream.

He stepped forward to pick him up, and asked with a smile, "Are you awake, Dubao? Don't you recognize me? I'm Shen Yan, and this is the military camp. You came all the way here, do you remember?"

"Wake up." Xiao Suo Nuo Nuo said, "I'm hungry and want to eat cakes."

"The meal is ready, and you can eat it when you get up. Today there is venison, but there is no cake." Shen Yan took the clothes on the shelf, shook them off, put them on him, and held his wrist to put on the sleeves, "It's okay , Just put it in, I baked it all morning, no ice."

Xiao Suo yawned, didn't tie his clothes, leaned on his chest and said: "Arms are sore, I can't wear them. I don't want to wear them, can I not wear them?"

Shen Yan couldn't help laughing at him: "Why are you so reckless, have you turned into a little fool? I'm tired of wearing it for you. You're so delicate, but you still have to go to the front line. Shouldn't you go back?"

"I'll wear it, I'll wear it. I won't go back, don't go back." Hearing this, Xiao Suo was immediately refreshed, pulled off the clothes, turned left and right, couldn't find the cuffs for a long time, and was sweating profusely, "Where are the sleeves? The sleeves are gone."

"Here, confused." Shen Yan couldn't help putting it on him, urging him: "Get up, wash and eat. I asked Shi Shi to roast a deer leg for you. It won't taste good when it's cold."

Xiao Suo supported the bed and moved to the side of the couch, stretched out his feet to look for shoes: "Did you see my shoes? The shoes are gone too."

"The single cloth boots, I asked someone to take them out to dry." Shen Yan took a pair of felt shoes from the outside, "You wear these, the inside is made of animal hair, and the outside is made of felt, soft and warm."

"It's like stepping on a cloud, it's a bit big." Xiao Suo shook his foot, feeling slightly swaying, "Are these your shoes?"

"It's mine, and it's just a little bit bigger than yours." Shen Yan ran out, said something to the guard, and quickly brought a pair of insoles, "Come on, put this on, although it belongs to them, but It's new, never used."

Xiao Suo took it and saw "Mandarin Ducks Playing in Water" embroidered on it—it was vivid and lifelike—and sighed: "This must have been made for him by his wife at home. The handwork is so meticulous. It's not like ordinary market products. New and new, he must keep it away and be reluctant to wear it. When he comes out to fight, life and death are unpredictable. I don’t know how his wife is looking forward to it day and night, just like I am waiting for you at home. I can’t use this , or give it back to him."

Shen Yan snatched it and stuffed it into the shoe, and said: "Since he gave it to me, he did it willingly, otherwise he can hide it from me. You only care about not using other people's treasures, so aren't you afraid of letting him down? We all do our duty, if we can win this battle, and he will be promoted, it will be considered that this pair of insoles is worth it."

"You always have plausible words." Xiao Suo got up to wash his hands, and Shen Yan poured boiling water and handed out towels to serve him.After tidying up for a while, he said again: "Come and eat quickly, and tell you something serious after eating."

Xiao Suo was dressed very thickly and felt uncomfortable when he moved. He finally sat down and saw a bowl of white rice, a bowl of sorghum rice, a plate of pickles and a deer leg on the table, he wondered: "Why do you eat sorghum? Eat white rice?"

"Food in the army is not a luxury. Naturally, it is cheaper to eat sorghum. I drink and eat the same food as the soldiers. Usually, we don't just cook fine rice and white noodles. You are different. You are a high-ranking official sent by the court, so you should eat well." Yes. Stop asking nonsense, hurry up and eat, aren't you hungry?" Shen Yan pulled out a short knife, picked off the meat from the deer leg in two or three strokes, and put all the meat in his bowl.

Eleven pursed his lips and muttered: "What should a high official eat? He obviously took his own food for others to eat."

Xiao Suo heard the words, pushed away the bowl and said, "I won't eat yours, I will eat sorghum."

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he just chews his tongue like a little lady." Shen Yan glanced at Eleven, then smiled at Dubao and said, "Although it's my food, I never eat it, because The watch and the soldiers share the joys and sorrows, and they eat the same food as them on a daily basis. It is a waste of food to be left unused. You, the superintendent, should have eaten better, but you ate mine without preparing it for you in a hurry. Isn't it just right? You don't know, the sorghum is too thick, you are still sick, and your stomach can't bear to toss, it's better to eat white rice."

"What about the meat?" Xiao Suo held a bowl of grilled rice, "Even you eat pickles. If I eat meat, others will be upset. This is something that affects morale and the army's morale. It's better not to eat it. It's not for a bowl of meat." I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be scattered."

Shen Yan patted his cheek and said, "Eat it quickly, why do you think so much. I killed this deer myself——"

"I specially reserved it for you for several days." Eleven interjected.

Shen Yan let out a "tsk", as if to hit him, pushed him out, and continued: "I beat him myself, you can eat it, it doesn't matter."

"Is there any left?" Xiao Suo said with rice stuffed in his mouth, his cheeks bulging, "I ate this leg, and leave half of the rest. Send an order and tell the soldiers to let They all think of a good way to defeat the enemy, and whoever thinks of a good way will reward him with venison."

Shen Yan nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. My Dubao is really smart, a deer can come up with so many tricks."

Xiao Suo pursed his lips, taking advantage of his praise, picked up a piece of venison and stuffed it into his mouth, tilted his head and said: "You eat, I can't finish it, otherwise, I won't eat it."

"Half for each person." Shen Yan rubbed the top of his head, "Okay, eat quickly."

A crystal grain of rice hung on Xiao Suo's cheek, and he nodded with a smile.

After eating slowly, he wrapped himself in fur and nestled in a chair, watched Shen Yan pacing up and down in front of the map, and asked, "Is it difficult, without a clue?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "It's not that it's difficult, but it's as difficult as reaching the sky. Do you know who is the person who robbed you?"

"I know." Xiao Suo said lightly, "They thought they poured me the ecstasy soup, and I was so dizzy that I couldn't see. In fact, when I got off the bus in front of the inn that day, I was already awake. They threw me on the ground, and I I took a peek from a distance, and I happened to see him. He was born quite distinctive, and I couldn’t recognize him, even if I didn’t.”

"Did you see it?" Shen Yan was stunned, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

Xiao Suo bit his lips and said, "I'm so happy to see you, it's not my fault that I didn't have time."

"Who said it was your fault?" Shen Yan approached and pinched his ear, "If I had known you, I wouldn't have tried so hard to interrogate that group of people. You don't know, everyone is stubborn. Like you."

"Say me again." Xiao Suo pouted, "Always talk about me."

"Okay, let's not talk about you, can't you be like me?" Shen Yan said, "Anyway, they beat and threatened, and finally recruited. They are a group of border rebels, they are not gangsters at all. But their leader and Fanzi colluded, it was indeed the Tushan National Army who asked them to rob you. The Tushan people have already planned, they can’t hold on to it, and secretly sent them to cut off our food, just waiting for us to starve to death and freeze to death. So I To say that they are fans is not wronging them."

"But it's not right?" Xiao Suo said, "Their leader is the tall man who beat me in the south of the city..."

"It's Zhao Hui, his name is Zhao Hui." Shen Yan added, "He obviously 'died' in Yushitai's prison at the beginning, but he ran here again, organized a rebel army, and colluded with the Tushan people. Hooked up and tied you up, damn it. Now it seems that he was suspended animation. This is also strange, where did he get the fake death medicine, even I can't find it! Don't let me catch him, or I will stab him He has a few blood holes, tell him to bully you again!"

Xiao Suo continued: "Anyway, it's that Zhao Hui. When he was there, he told the people under his command that he would send me into customs and hand me over to someone named Zhang. If you say this person is named Zhang, who would it be?"

"The one surnamed Zhang..." Shen Yan's eyes flashed, he patted the table and shouted: "It must be that bastard Zhang Yunjian, besides him, who else wants you!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and hurriedly apologized: "No, no, I, I didn't mean that. I want you, I want you, don't take it to your heart! I said the wrong thing, Everyone in the world wants my unique treasure. Hmph, the world is full of bastards who covet me!"

Xiao Suo suppressed a smile, pretended to be angry, and said aggrievedly: "You don't need to explain, I know you don't want me anymore, no one wants me, I know it all."

"No, no, no... that's not the case." Shen Yan hurriedly held his face, the distress and confusion in his eyes could not be hidden, "I want you, I only want you in my life. I really didn't mean that, I... ..." He slapped himself as he spoke, and swore to the sky: "I swear, if I don't want you, no, if I don't want you, call me dead—"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Suo hugged him tightly, pressed against his ear, and said sincerely: "I was joking with you, I know, you treat me the best in the world, you want me, You only want me."

Shen Yan coughed twice, pushed him away and said, "I...I can't breathe." Thinking about it, he was afraid that he would be sad, so he kissed him again, "That old thief Zhang Yunjian, I must kill him this time And there is that Zhao Hui, who is at both ends of the head mouse, flirting with Tushan people while entangled with Zhang Yunjian. When we capture Tushan and catch him, I will let you beat him to vent his anger .”

"I don't want it," Xiao Suo said with his head down, "I dare not."

"Then I'll hit you and watch," before the man caught him, Shen Yan was already thinking about it, "I beat him to the point of 'wow', to avenge you."

Xiao Suo "cheated" and said with a smile: "Think about it first, how to catch them. Zhang Yunjian has a high official position, so it's not easy to overthrow him. Zhao Hui is hiding in Tu Shan Country, now we can't conquer Tu Shan Army, There's nothing you can do about him."

"Zhang Yunjian, I have already thought of a way to deal with him." Shen Yan sneered, "Just wait and see, old thief, this time I will let him know the consequences of touching my unique treasure."

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Suo was afraid that he would cause trouble again, so he grabbed his shoulder to advise, "Don't take any risks, if there is an accident, tell me what to do, I will be afraid."

Shen Yan hugged him, slumped on his back, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, with me here, don't be afraid of anything. Let's catch those people this time, which is the best evidence of his gangsterism. And these people and Tu Shanguo has connections, and it is not impossible to punish him for colluding with foreigners and convicting the enemy. Also, do you remember the last time we entered the palace, I told the emperor that you had come up with a plan to break the leopard army? "

"Remember." Xiao Suo nodded in bewilderment, "What's the matter, what's wrong?"

Shen Yan smiled triumphantly: "At that time, I saw Zhang Yunjian was there, and I was so happy that I went to heaven. Didn't I tell you at the gate of the palace that day that there was already a cure for him. Think about it now, that day we The two of you were there to offer advice. Apart from the emperor and us, there is only one him left in the palace. This guy was only interested in teasing my bad strategy, and he got carried away with his complacency and forgot to avoid suspicion. He deserves to be in bad luck, if this strategy to destroy the enemy It was known by Tu Shanguo in advance, besides him, who else is the one who leaked the secret? We are the ones offering advice, and it is even more impossible for the emperor to say, isn’t he the only one left.”

"Originally, I had already thought about it. When I fought against Tu Shanjun, I wrote to the emperor, saying that your plan had been leaked. The emperor must be suspicious at that time. I don't need to kill him, the emperor must kill him first. I'm just waiting for that day, and thinking about it makes me so happy I can't sleep."

"You're quite far-reaching and thoughtful." Xiao Suo hesitated, "It's just... how could Tu Shanguo know our strategy in advance? If we leaked the strategy to get revenge on Zhang Yunjian, wouldn't it delay the military affairs? If you don't leak it out, how can you harm him?"

Shen Yan nodded his nose, and said: "Are you stupid? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Why don't you just rely on my upper lip to touch the lower lip to talk about what's going on in the front line? I'll say that Tu Shanren knew about our strategy in advance. If it is leaked, who will know whether it is true or not? These tens of thousands of soldiers are only fighting and obeying orders, how do they know that tricks are not tricks."

"Besides, when the time comes, the emperor sees that our strategy has been leaked and put in a dangerous place, and he fought hard to win the battle. He will definitely give him a lot of praise. If it was originally a big credit, then it will become a big credit. That way the sergeants will get more benefits, and this matter becomes a matter of everyone's interest, and it must be true if it is not true. If you don't believe me, wait and see, if anyone dares to say 'no ’, these sergeants have to kill him first to silence him.”

"You really think..." Xiao Suo held back for a long time, he was full of economics, but he couldn't think of a word to praise him, he straightened up in a hurry, "baji" kissed his lips, "You are amazing!"

"I'm even better on the bed," Shen Yan pinched his butt and smirked, "Do you want to try?"
