Thinking

On the river bank not far ahead, there was a "crash" sound, and one person got out of the river, stepped on the bank with a low body, and then strode over under the cover of the bushes by the river.

"Tsk, are you back?" Qi Si still maintained that posture, looking at Di Youliang, who was dripping wet, in a leisurely manner. He was tall and dressed only in unlined clothing, diving across the river, still panting for breath.

"Your Highness." Di Youliang was a little surprised, and looked at the entrance of the cave behind Qi Si.

"We're all gone, we're the only ones missing." Qi Si jumped off the boulder, moving his hands and feet, "The clothes are at the entrance of the cave."

Di Youliang nodded and went to change his clothes. Qi Si crossed his arms and looked at the enemy camp opposite. There seemed to be chaos and smoke rising there, but the noise could not be clearly heard across the river.

Qi Si looked at it and frowned: "Di Youliang, are you..."

Before the words were finished, there was a sound on the surface of the river, and several people jumped out of the river, looking around vigilantly, discussing something with each other.

"Let's go!" Di Youliang had already changed into light armor.

Qi Si shook his head: "It's too late."

The terrain here is not complicated, and the few people quickly found Qi Si and Di Youliang.

The two drew their swords and rushed forward at the same time.

"Don't let them send out the code!" Di Youliang shouted.

Ji Si thought, I still need you to say, pierced the Daliang man who was about to throw the firework signal with a backhand sword, and leaned up to avoid the palm of the person next to him.

Both of them had good skills, and quickly dealt with the chasing person, but Qi Si found that Di Youliang was not in the right state: "Injured?"

Di Youliang nodded: "It's okay, let's go first."

The two of them did not climb up the cliff, but followed the bottom of the cliff to the mouth of Xigu, and met with the subordinates waiting there.This was obviously the correct decision, because not long after they left, someone came after them. If they climbed up the wind and snow cliff, they would definitely be shot to death by random arrows, or they would cut the rope off.

"It's finally here." The waiting subordinates breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them.

Di Youliang didn't say a word, but suddenly fell down, Qi Si quickly supported him, took off his light armor, and felt the wet blood on his back.

Qi Si immediately ordered someone to bring a towel to Di Youliang to simply bandage him to stop the bleeding, put him on the horse, ride with him, pedal and whip: "Return to the camp!"

It was dawn when we returned to the camp, Lu Yingqiu came and saw Qi Si sitting in the tent looking tired, Di Youliang was lying down, and the doctor was treating his wound.

"General Di really doesn't look like a general." Qi Si said half-jokingly, with a somewhat helpless tone.

"How are you?" Lu Yingqiu looked Qisi up and down.

Qi Si got up and turned around to show him, then smiled and said, "It's intact."

Perhaps because Rui Chu was buried in the northern battlefield, Lu Yingqiu was extremely sensitive to Qi Si's safety, and even a little anxious. Qi Si could feel that he wanted to hide himself in the safest place in the camp, but Lu Yingqiu also knew that Qi Si Thinking has to face these things head on, so it is sometimes extremely contradictory.

"General Di was stabbed in the back, he lost a lot of blood from the wound, and he swam across the river, so he was so weak." Qi Si told him about Di Youliang's situation.

"What's the matter with him?" Lu Yingqiu had a headache.

Qi Si said: "It should have been discovered by going to the enemy camp alone to inquire about something."

Di Youliang is also a bold one, people can't figure out what his plan is.

"General Di... hey."

"This, this, what is it like?"

Several generals and lieutenants in the army came to visit after hearing the news, but they were also speechless. On the one hand, Di Youliang had always had a bad relationship with them; One does not know whether to call him heroic or ridiculous.

Qi Si explained a few words for Di Youliang, and finally used the most practical words to stop everyone from complaining: "Everyone is hurt like this, and they haven't made any mistakes. Don't be harsh on General Di."

Naturally, everyone can't say anything more, otherwise they will appear to be worse and have no conscience.

Lu Yingqiu asked him to rest, and Qi Si shook his head: "I'll keep watch, after all, I brought him back, and I want to ask what's going on."

Lu Yingqiu had a lot of work at hand, so he left it to him. The people in the tent came clattering in and clattered away again. Then they fell silent, and Qi Si sat aside, resting his fingers on his forehead, meditating and relaxing, as a rest.

"Your Highness."

Di Youliang's voice is a little hoarse, but he is not weak. This is a habit accumulated by generals over the years, and he must not let himself appear weak at any time.

Qi Silian got up and went to look at him: "...do you drink water?"

Di Youliang's face is serious, always a bit gloomy, but in fact he looks well-rounded, but the outline is too deep, so his eyes always look hard to see through.

"Thank you." Qi Si helped him up, and Di Youliang took a few sips of tea from Qi Si.

He drank the water, continued to lie down and rest, his eyes slightly opened, and he looked at Qi Si calmly.

Qi Si also looked at him, and asked after a while, "I don't know what General Di wanted to do when he broke into the enemy camp alone."

With a half-smile, Di Youliang coughed lightly and said, "You saved me."

Qi Si shook his head: "The order was given by Lu Yingqiu, and the plan was discussed by all the adults. There were two hundred Qingqi who went with me. I am not the only one who saved you."

Di Youliang seemed to think he was very interesting, and smiled: "The day before yesterday, when I was taking people to the Duanyan Pass, I bumped into the master of Jingzhou who went to that camp."

Qisi felt a chill in his heart, what did the master of Jingzhou do in the enemy camp?

Di Youliang looked at him, and continued: "They didn't find us. When our people met the scouts at night and had to go down to the bottom of the cliff, I just went across the river to see why the master left."

Qi Si was dumbfounded, Di Youliang was not low in ability, but he took such a risk and didn't care about it, he simply took his own life as a trifling matter.

"General Di is a lieutenant general in the army. If you take such a risk, have you thought about the consequences?" Qi Si couldn't help but ask.

Di Youliang's expression returned to his usual indifference, he didn't care about this question, he just closed his eyes and said, "The master is here to get money—His Royal Highness, there are people in Jingzhou colluding with the enemy, maybe four years ago. in this way."

Qisi frowned, Di Youliang was still brooding over the war four years ago, and did not hesitate to risk his life to catch these tiny clues.

"Why did you tell me?" Qi Si sat by the couch and looked at him.

"Your Highness rescued me, you should be honest." Di Youliang didn't say much.

Qi Si was silent for a moment: "General Di, do you want me to uncover the old case from four years ago?"

Di Youliang was silent, and looked up at him: "Lu Yingqiu treats His Highness very differently, I think he won't misjudge someone."

Qi Si smiled: "What if you misread me?"

Di Youliang shook his head: "There is no loss for me."

Qi Si got out of the military tent, and his heart was very complicated. Di Youliang used to be under Rui Chu's subordinates. Everyone thought he was a heartless and ungrateful person, and he was unpredictable. Who knew that he had never had a day with Rui Chu. Forget it, and it is still being traced to this day.

But Di Youliang has a strange temper, he never told others this, even Lu Yingqiu once misunderstood him.

It's a good thing, his father didn't see the wrong person after all.

The [-] troops on the border of Great Liang tentatively lingered for three days, and then the Eldest Prince didn't wait for the mobilization of troops to be completed, and drew out another [-] soldiers and horses to go straight to the northern border.

Lu Yingqiu had nothing to say about this battle, the eldest prince lost his mind and went crazy, he desperately wanted to fight.

When the enemy came to attack, the camp in the northern border was orderly. Lu Yingqiu ordered Di Youliang and others to guard the rear, and he and Qi Si went directly to the front to meet the enemy.

"I don't need so many soldiers and horses. Lu Yingqiu, is this supposed to be used for training?" Qi Si Yuma and Lu Yingqiu left the camp with [-] soldiers and horses from the northern border.

Lu Yingqiu nodded: "After the Zhaowu Xuanjia was dispersed, I trained with the frontier army. I want to see how the results have been over the past few years. I hope that the sharpness of the past has not been worn away."

Qi Si was full of emotion in his heart. Lu Yingqiu was loyal to the court, but his friendship with Rui Chu never diminished. When loyalty and righteousness cannot be balanced, he might still be more partial to Rui Chu.

"What is Di Youliang doing lately? I put him in the back, are you sure he won't mess around again?" Lu Yingqiu half-jokingly asked.

Qi Si smiled: "You actually know him too, but you don't usually talk about it."

At Zhangling Pass, [-] Daliang soldiers and horses swung their spears straight down!

"The Central Route Army intercepts directly at Zhangling Pass, and you take 3 people along the waterway to encircle the left flank." Lu Yingqiu pointed at the map.

Qi Si hesitated, Lu Yingqiu asked, "How?"

Qi Si shook his head: "I always feel that something is wrong. This group of soldiers and horses rushed straight to death. The eldest prince can't be so stupid... Could it be that there is a problem in the rear?"

Lu Yingqiu smiled and said, "That's right, there have been changes in Jingzhou."

Qi Si couldn't laugh or cry, but Lu Yingqiu was still in the mood to test him.

"Di Youliang has visited Jingzhou?" Qi Si asked.

Lu Yingqiu nodded: "He didn't have time to look for you when he came back, so he told me that there are still some things in Jingzhou, and we'll see when you return to the camp." Then he looked at Qi Si, "He trusts you very much. Your father...is still very similar."

Qi Si smiled: "Maybe, but unfortunately I won't be able to see him."

Lu Yingqiu hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

At Zhangling Pass, Lu Yingqiu led 4 soldiers and horses to intercept the Daliang army, and Qi Si led the remaining [-] troops to make a sharp turn, left the battle formation and crossed the river, heading straight for the enemy's tail.

Such a way of fighting near and far away left Great Liang completely unprepared. It was basically trying to drive the ducks to the shelves. As a result, the central army was directly defeated and dispersed, creating chaos.

Qi Si guarded the tail and firmly intercepted them, the Poli sword was completely stained with blood, and the light armor was soaked in blood so that the original color could not be seen.

Of the 4 men under his command, [-] are the original Zhaowu Xuanjia. In the past four years, Lu Yingqiu has continuously merged the disbanded Zhaowu Xuanjia with other troops. The fighting power, but it is already very powerful.

"Retract!"

Halfway through the fight, corpses were lying on the battlefield, and Qi Si finally gave the order that his soldiers should be retracted and released, and he heard the order to cooperate, and he no longer loves to fight.

"Your Highness, why don't you take this opportunity to exterminate them?" A small lieutenant killed them happily, avenging both old and new grudges.

Qi Si frowned: "I've been forced into a hurry, if we continue to fight, our people will inevitably be damaged. Killing for the sake of killing is the most unacceptable."

Qi Si adjusted the battle formation, Daliang's soldiers broke up and fled away, Qi Si did not pursue, and after a quarter of an hour, the scouts came to report: "People from the Great Liang Dynasty, the son of He Shilie's family came with a word of mouth, ordering Ming Jin to withdraw the troops."

Qi Si nodded when he heard the words - it was Asigu, Asigu brought the King of Great Liang's order, it must be the result of Yuan Feng's efforts to persuade the King of Great Liang after he returned.

It is hoped that this hasty battle will change the direction of Great Liang's stroke.
