You remember son

"Jin An..."

"Boom, boom, boom!" At this moment, there was a loud knock on the door, as if the time had been pinched.

Someone outside the door shouted anxiously: "General! The emperor speaks! The emperor speaks!"

When Shen Liangyuan opened the door, it was snowing heavily outside.

Standing outside the door was a man who looked like a guard, with snow all over his head and shoulders, quite embarrassed.It turned out to be the one from last time.Seeing his pale purple face, I don't know how long he squatted on the top this time?

Shen Liangyuan asked: "What orders does the emperor have?"

"The emperor ordered the general to set off with the whole army tonight and go to Jiangyuan to fight!"

"Why is it so urgent?" Shen Liangyuan frowned slightly: "Isn't it the south?"

"I don't know, but the emperor has orders..." The guard glanced at the lights in the room calmly: "...General, you pack up and go now, don't delay for a moment."

How could Shen Liangyuan not understand?I'm afraid that the emperor sent people to watch the whistle on the wall and roof of the mansion all the time. Once he finds that he and Jin An are alone in a room for a long time, he doesn't need to worry about anything. Call" is.

"I see. I will follow you back to the palace."

The guard hesitated for a while, and tried to persuade him: "General...the emperor has orders, and I don't want to see you again."

Shen Liangyuan was taken aback for a moment, and said with a forced smile: "If the general goes to war, he must bid farewell to the king, and this is what he should do."

"The emperor said, you don't have to resign this time, just go." The guard added that sentence very embarrassingly: "The emperor also said... Even if you ask to see me, you won't see me. General, look... It's better to set off as soon as possible. This emperor's order must not be delayed."

After hearing this, Shen Liangyuan was silent for a while, and then ordered someone to take off his shirt and put it on.After saying goodbye to Mother Shen and Jin An, she still went to the direction of the palace.

The guards outside Chonglan Hall stopped Shen Liangyuan: "General, the emperor has already fallen asleep."

"Please enter the hall and report, Shen Liangyuan is asking to see you before the battle."

Seeing Shen Liangyuan's insistence, the guards were indeed in a difficult situation: "General... Please don't embarrass your lowly position, the emperor has a cold face, and his subordinates dare not disobey the sacred order."

Shen Liangyuan is not a temperament that likes to make things difficult for others.Since he didn't want to see him, there was no way anyone could ask for it.

"Understood, since the emperor is resting, then I will go to Jiangyuan." After taking a few steps, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Since the emperor does not want to see me, then... there is no need to tell the emperor that I have been here."

"Yes."

"Thank you." After Shen Liangyuan finished speaking, he turned around and left slowly.

Snowflakes swirl and fall, falling on shoulders and hair.Shen Liangyuan stopped dazedly, turned around and glanced at the closed palace door, finally smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth, and knelt down in response.

The snow crunched under the knees, a little cold.

He murmured in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is my...the last time I bow to you..."

That night, Hua Yan called Hua Rong into the palace again.

As the night was bright, Shen Liangyuan rushed to the camp, and met Hua Rong who was chasing him on the way.

Seeing that Hua Rong was also wearing armor, Shen Liangyuan asked strangely, "Why are you here?"

Hua Rong complained very much: "Oh, Brother Huang sent me to Jiangyuan too."

"Last time it was said that the war started in the south, why are you and I transferred to Jiangyuan now?"

"Gaoque sent 20 heavy troops to attack Jiangyuan City, and Jiangyuan City is in danger." Hua Rong shook the whip in his hand as if nothing had happened, and said, "Actually, how can it be so precarious? Isn't there still Lin Mu in Jiangyuan? Send you and me over?"

Shen Liangyuan said nonchalantly: "Maybe the emperor has his own plans."

Hua Rong shook his head sadly: "I can't figure out his plan, I just know that I'm done this time, I just promised Ye Xiao to go drink with his elder brother, now Brother Huang sent me here Jiang Yuan...won't my Ah Ye beat me to death when I turn around?"

He sighed again: "My royal brother who values ​​sex and despises brother, he always ordered me to take care of you before he left. Am I his real brother? Why is he always worried about me?"

In fact, Hua Rong's second half of the sentence, although it was a complaint, was intended to ease the two and bring them closer.It's not that Shen Liangyuan couldn't understand the intention of his words, but he didn't say anything to him, whipped his horse, and rushed to the camp first.

In the falling wind and snow, he took off his fox fur shoulders, and only a cold armor accompanied him. He could only hold the spear in his hand tightly, and gradually walked away.

Hua Rong sighed and followed with a whip.

Two months later, Jiangyuan City.

In the fierce battle that lasted for several days, Gao Que's army lost two generals in a row, and their spirit was greatly frustrated. Finally, Gao Que transferred a new general to Jiangyuan to command the battle strategy.

After another [-] days of fighting, the Gaoque army intercepted the Jiangyuan grain transportation road, and the army grain in Jiangyuan city was short.

Hua Rong flipped through "Jiangyuan City Chronicles" in the room, and couldn't let go of Shen Liangyuan's situation, so he finally finished reading the book in a state of distraught, threw it on the table, and then got up to look for Shen Liangyuan.

Opening the door, the cold wind blows in with the flurry of snow.Hua Rong's eyes turned to the sky, and he cursed: "Heaven is elegant, what is the snow of injustice for seven days in a row?"

When I got to Shen Liangyuan, I opened the door and saw him leaning on the bed looking at a map in his hand, Hua Rong jumped in his heart when he saw it.

Shen Liangyuan was a little absorbed in thinking, and when he noticed Hua Rong's footsteps, he coughed twice, then raised his head and smiled, "Hua Rong, you're here."

The fire in the room made it a little warmer.

Hua Rong said: "I said, let you take care of yourself these few days and don't think too much. Why are you so dishonest even lying down?"

"I'm fine."

Shen Liangyuan coughed twice, calmed his breath, unfolded the map in his hand to Hua Rong, and pointed it out to him: "Look, from here to here is our ration road, and our rations were robbed at the post station at Jushaoguan , the sentry pass is located in a barren and remote place, and it is the weakest pass in terms of offense and defense among the stations along the grain road. This time, the grain and grass were robbed. We should learn a lesson and temporarily dispatch people from nearby passes to secure the grain road, so as to prevent future transportation The foolproof…”

Hua Rong said: "Now that the food and grass are all gone, why do you still worry about it? You just need to rest and recuperate in the past few days. The people who should worry about it are the postman at the sentry gate and the imperial envoy Zhang Cheng. One One of them is that he acted without authorization and made a big mistake. If Zhang Cheng hadn’t waited for the arrival of Guliang Dao’s manpower and rushed to Jushaoguan, the grain would have arrived in Gangwon 23 days ago. .It's better now..."

Hua Rong sighed, shook his head and stopped talking.

Seeing Shen Liangyuan, he asked, "How long will it take to store grain in Jiangyuan City?"

"At most [-] days." Hua Rong frowned lightly, with a dignified look on his face: "It takes a long time for food and grass to come and go, and now it's snowing for days, and based on the current distance, I'm afraid it will take time at the earliest." More than two months."

Shen Liangyuan frowned after hearing this: "Jiangyuan City, we can't wait for two months."

"I also know that I can't wait. After half a month, Jiangyuan City may be..." Hua Rong propped his head on the table in distress, tapping his fingers on the table, the rhythm was very slow, and then, he He smiled with an exclamation tone: "Well, although I have partnered with you for ten years, it seems that I have never experienced any life-and-death confrontation with you."

Hua Rong recalled: "That year when you fought in Yecheng, you were trapped in Qishan Mountain for seven days, and your food and grass were exhausted. In the end, you were ruined. And a few years ago, you ambush in the Yokogoya, and almost wiped out your entire army. I was not in these battles, so it was considered a battle. Luckily, it can be considered unlucky." Hua Rong dried his hands on the stove, rubbed his hands and looked at him with raised eyebrows, a little inexplicably wanting to laugh: "It's good now, I can finally make a life-and-death decision with you?"

Shen Liangyuan said: "Wars are merciless, and every battle must be a matter of life and death. Therefore, every time you and I fight together is a life-and-death decision. This time is not missing."

"Everyone thinks how powerful the general is, but in fact, this job is more deadly than anyone else's. The popular myth of trust and prestige, in fact, which battle is not a legend of a gun, a sword, a wound, and a crime. No matter how mythical it is, it will encounter difficulties and be in danger. The ruthlessness of the battlefield and the ruthlessness of killing will never be seen by people outside the battlefield."

Shen Liangyuan smiled and said: "Looking at your unrestrained words and deeds, when did you become so enlightened?"

"One hundred thousand people, 20 soldiers, people's lives are in your hands, who can not realize something?" Hua Rong looked at him, smiled and shook his head: "You are the one who has changed. , when did you see that you laughed so much before the war? Didn’t I always laugh for you in the past?”

"Because you did the right thing in the past, and I did the wrong thing. People can't always collapse themselves...cough cough..." Shen Liangyuan coughed violently when he said that.

"Liangyuan..." Hua Rong immediately went to look at him.

Shen Liangyuan supported the edge of the bed, his face was a little pale, and he was panting violently: "I'm also tired now, it won't be long before I collapse..."

"Don't worry about it if it doesn't collapse. You have been poisoned frequently these days, and I told you to rest and raise it. What are you thinking about looking at these things?" Hua Rong waved his hand and was about to hit the map on the ground.

But she didn't want Shen Liangyuan to hold it tightly, and it failed.

After Shen Liangyuan coughed, his breath returned to his normal position, and his face finally eased a lot: "If I don't fight in the army, why should I be on the battlefield?"

"You don't have a temper..." Hua Rong gave him a hard look.

Shen Liangyuan let him stare at himself after he finished talking, and said with a broken smile: "When you stare enough, shall we talk about food and grass?"

Seeing that the person concerned didn't care, Hua Rong withdrew his gaze, and at this moment, he really didn't have the heart to argue with him anymore.

Hua Rong said: "This time the grain and grass were robbed, I have an idea."

Hua Rong's attitude changed a little quickly. There was a prelude to some bickering just now, but now it has suddenly turned serious, and it can even feel a little serious.

Seeing his serious face, Shen Liangyuan guessed something.Question: "Are you going to repay the other person with that way?"

Hua Rong laughed loudly: "It really is a partner!"

Shen Liangyuan smiled faintly.

"Since I won't be able to eat food and grass in Jiangyuan for a while, it's better to let them go hungry together instead of having an empty stomach and let them fight when they are full. They will definitely talk when they are hungry!" Hua Rong slapped the table. : "This king burned the food and grass behind him."

☆, 38

"This is a way." Shen Liangyuan nodded in agreement, and said: "I also have an idea, although I'm not sure, but you might as well try both."

Shen Liangyuan opened the map: "Look, I just looked at the location of Jushaoguan. Jushaoguan is an extremely barren land. From a geographical point of view, there are no mountains, no water, no forests, no people and no people around it. In the dust and sand area, there are only post stations and checkpoints within a hundred miles. The food and grass were robbed only two days ago. It is impossible to bring a large amount of food and grass and disappear thousands of miles away within two days. After all, it is 30 shi. If it is after the robbery If they were destroyed, then they would not have to take them away when they robbed the food, and could burn it on the spot.”

"You mean, the 30 shi of grain may still be at Jushao Pass, but it was just hidden by the enemy."

Shen Liangyuan nodded: "It's not impossible. I just asked Lin Mu, the scouts he trained are very refined, and he has come to report that the enemy's cooking is limited recently... Cough cough..."

After Shen Liangyuan coughed twice, he continued: "...It seems that because of the continuous snowfall, their rations have not arrived, maybe they also want to "borrow" our rations. So you ask the scouts to keep an eye on the enemy Fang Ying, in case we fail to retrieve the grain and grass hidden somewhere in Jushao Pass in time, once they find out that they are going to transport it back to the camp, we should make a plan to intercept it early."

"Yeah." Hua Rong nodded, thinking again: "I just read "Jiangyuan City Chronicle", which mentioned that more than 90 years ago, Jiangyuan City encountered a natural disaster similar to the falling stars. It will fall in flames and last for 97 nights. At that time, the prefect of Jiangyuan ordered people to build caves underground to hide. Rare rats are as big as big wild rabbits, and they are good at digging holes. This kind of rat has sharp claws and fangs, fierce and poisonous, but it is a kind of panacea, and it can cure some strange diseases, so it was later adopted by the city. People excavate and sell a large number of them, and now it is impossible to find this kind of burrow again.”

"You want to use these tunnels?"

Hua Rong nodded: "Although these cave rats are fierce, they are in a critical situation. They are actually animals that jump on their feet, so they dig holes very quickly to escape. Normally, they are courageous Be careful, so these rat holes are rare in the city, because they are afraid of crowds.

Most of these tunnels are outside Jiangyuan City, criss-crossing underground, and the deepest ones are drilled at a depth of tens of meters, making it difficult for people to detect them.This kind of burrowing mouse digs holes to steal farmers' livestock or grain.When they go out to poach, they come in groups of four or five. Because they hunt fiercely, they are usually able to drag back livestock and food that are five or six times their size. "

Shen Liangyuan also nodded: "So you think that even the largest of their holes can crawl past people."

"Yes, and I believe that with so many tunnels, there must be a place close to the Gaoque army camp. Let's find a few deeper tunnels to hide the movement, and then widen and extend them so that the soldiers can turn around and evacuate back and forth in them. At that time, the cave was quietly led to the enemy's camp, and if they were to be burned or attacked, they would be caught off guard. Turn around and then block the tunnel."

Shen Liangyuan nodded, these tunnels are all outside the city, they are indeed not harmful to our army, but not beneficial to the enemy army, so you can give it a try.

Shen Liangyuan said: "Soldiers are precious and fast. We must complete at least five tunnels within three days. Once we make an attack, the pathways will be exposed, so we must inflict heavy damage on them."

Hua Rong nodded and smiled, "Naturally."

"Then let's study the terrain outside the city now." Shen Liangyuan unfolded the map and quickly pointed his hands on the map, as if he had recovered from a serious illness.

"Look, this is Gaoque's campsite, this is Jiangyuan City, we have to avoid it here, we will scare the snake, and the few places here can't be the exit of the cave, it is easy to be exposed in advance..." Shen Liangyuan got up and got out of bed. Pen and paper, seems to prepare a big layout.

Hua Rong worried: "You are not in good health now, so let Lin Mu and I plan these things."

Shen Liangyuan said: "Lin Mu is now reinforcing the city's defenses. The food and grass will not last long, and our plan is not completely flawless. If we fail, we will bet on Jiangyuan City. Now the situation can't be delayed, the two of us will come alone first." Talk on paper, discuss the plan to cut off the enemy's food and grass, and prepare a plan to cut off the food in case of emergency." Shen Liangyuan scratched his finger on the map, Hua Rong also frowned and considered the layout.

The two discussed until after night, Hua Rong was worried about Shen Liangyuan's physical condition and asked him to go to bed early after dinner.

At this time, Lin Mu had almost come down from the fortress, and Hua Rong hurriedly went to find Lin Mu again, and took the plan to discuss with him again.

After all, Lin Mu has been stationed in Jiangyuan for many years, and he knows better about the mountains and landforms of Jiangyuan. He naturally needs to make some considerations in the extension of the underground route.

three days later

The tunnel was dug through, and after one led to several low hills near the Gaoque camp, Zhao Jun sneaked in at night, and the food and grass behind Gaoque were burned. .Gao Que's army was caught off guard, and [-] soldiers were killed in the attack, and most of the food and grass were burned.

Zhao Jun beat the drums and cheered as the enemy's morale was greatly damaged in this battle.While all the soldiers in the city waved their flags and cheered, the general Shen Liangyuan vomited blood in front of everyone, closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

Gaoque's food and grass had not arrived, and the rations in the camp were short for seven days.

Seven days later, the scouts came to report that the robbed food and grass were found at Jushaoguan and would be transported to the enemy camp overnight.Huarong sent Lin Mu to lead the army and successfully intercepted it.

In the coach's room at this time, Shen Liangyuan was dressed in light and loose casual clothes, wearing a fox fur and leaning against the stove to keep warm, and the room was lingering with incense.

Hua Rong pushed open the door and led in an old doctor who was over fifty years old.

"I invited Dr. Wu to take a look..." Hua Rong probably brought someone here in a hurry, he sat down on the side seat with uneven breath, poured tea with all his hands, and turned his head to Shen Liangyuan and said to Shen Liangyuan : "He is the best doctor in Jiangyuan City, but he has the ability to bring the dead back to life."

Dr. Wu was also wiping his sweat. When he heard it, he panted heavily and waved his hands back and forth non-stop, half-covering his face and refusing: "Your Majesty's praise, I'm ashamed, ashamed."

The old doctor did not dare to take on such a mistake, he was really ashamed.

When Shen Liangyuan saw that Hua Rong was so anxious that he didn't even have time to drink water, he would blow him up to the sky first, and seeing the doctor who could sweat in the winter, he couldn't help smiling at Hua Rong: "If you really come back to life, you can wait It’s not too late to come after I’m dead. You’re in such a hurry, why bother to tire the doctor so much?”

Hua Rong said anxiously: "I said Shen...I said you boy, don't be so heartless, I'm so busy and busy trying to keep you alive, is it easy for me? You can't cooperate, don't say such taboo words !"

Shen Liangyuan suppressed a smile and nodded obediently: "Okay, I will cooperate. Doctor, please take your pulse." Shen Liangyuan stretched his wrist in front of the old doctor, and smiled very obediently.

The old doctor calmed down for a while, sat down, and began to check the pulse.

At this time, the servant came in with a medicine pot, bowed his head and walked in small steps, added some herbs and vanilla to the smoker at regular intervals, poured tea for Shen Liangyuan and Hua Rong, and finally blessed his body, exited and closed the door .

The gradually faint fragrance in the room became stronger again.

Shen Liangyuan closed his eyes and rested there, Hua Rong drank a sip of tea, and asked the doctor nervously: "How is he?"

The doctor frowned, and after leaving Shen Liangyuan's wrist, his face was solemn, he stroked his beard and shook his head.

Hua Rong felt uneasy, but most of them were expected.Looking at Shen Liangyuan again, he was still resting with his eyes closed, more like a description of a deep sleep.

"Tell me, is there a solution to my friend's situation, or is there no solution?" Hua Rong didn't tell him that the terminally ill patient in front of him was the coach guarding Jiangyuan.

Ever since Shen Liangyuan spat out a mouthful of blood that day and fell to the ground in front of the army, he has been unable to fight due to his vitality in all the battles in the next half month.This has caused many people in the army to speculate. How about worrying about the safety of the coach?And Shen Liangyuan's face was always pale when he appeared several times.

In order to prevent the turmoil of the army, we can only hide it first, and we must win the battle as soon as possible.

"My lord, this son's illness is not caused by other things, but caused by poisoning..." the doctor said.

In the past, as long as they didn't say anything, every doctor couldn't diagnose him. They almost all said that Shen Liangyuan's body was weak and caused by illness, and his thin complexion was also caused by his frailty and exhaustion. In short, they couldn't diagnose him at all. The situation is due to poison.

Now this old doctor can actually figure out the cause of the disease?When Hua Rong heard it, he really had the ability to rejuvenate!Maybe there is hope!

"Then is there a way to cure this poison?" Hua Rong asked anxiously.

The doctor's face was very ashamed again, and he shook his head for a long time: "My lord, my medical skills are poor. If the poison is red fever, I really can't do anything about it. The red rash on his body is vicious, and if he can live to this day, this young master is no longer an ordinary person. .”

When Hua Rong heard this, he was disappointed, and put down his glass helplessly: "Doctor, please go out first."

"I'm ashamed, I'm leaving now." The doctor bowed and cupped his hands to say goodbye, and went out.

"Liangyuan..." Hua Rong got up to call Shen Liangyuan, seeing that he was asleep again, he couldn't bear to wake him up.Sighing, he got up and found another blanket to cover him, and prepared to go out.

"Hua Rong..."

Shen Liangyuan who was behind him woke up again when he opened the door. He has always been a light sleeper, and recently he even woke up when he heard the slightest sound.

Shen Liangyuan opened his eyes, supported the table and rubbed the center of his brows: "I've always been sleepy recently, and I fell asleep without knowing it." He raised his head and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

"It's okay. Go on to sleep and be careful not to catch a cold."

"No, I won't sleep." Shen Liangyuan took off the blanket, stood up and said, "How is the battle going?"

"Gao Que received food and grass four days ago, and another [-] soldiers and horses were reinforced, and now he is going to attack Jiangyuan City again." Hua Rong came back and patted him on the shoulder, smiling: "It's okay. I'm alive, I promise those gangs People can't even touch a single nail on the gate of Gangwon City."

Shen Liangyuan smiled, and asked again: "When will the war start?"

"Only two days."

"This battle will be a battle between the enemy and us after recovery. Gaoque has prepared food and grass. Now that we have rectified in four days, we have added another [-] forces. I believe that morale will return and the combat power will rise sharply. It is very possible to go all out. Therefore, the nature of this battle Unlike in the past, if one side loses this time, it may really lose."

Hua Rong laughed and said, "So our army will definitely settle this battle with them. Zhao's army is "vegetarian but not vegetarian"!"

"The enemy's army was 30 at first, but it lost 20 in repeated fights, and now it has increased by [-]. Our soldiers are only [-] now, and now, our morale and morale also need to be boosted." Shen Liangyuan said: "I This body has been much better recently..."

"No." Hua Rong interrupted him, knowing his intention clearly.

"Are you the coach or am I the coach?"

"This king is the prince!" Hua Rong said urgently.

Shen Liangyuan was helpless, and asked with a smile: "This is not the court, nor your Prince Qi's mansion, but Jiangyuan City under the soldiers' landing pond, and it's a battlefield. Have you ever seen anyone in the army who dared to stop the commander from going to the battlefield?"
