General

It was midnight, the sky was full of bright moon and stars, and the icy night wind whizzed through the not dense pine forest, slashing across his body like a knife.Ning Yu sat by the bonfire outside the official road, looked at Lan Jing who was leaning against the dead tree, saw his thin body curled up tightly, and his small face half covered by the veil was extremely pale.

Ning Yu wrapped his cloak around her body distressedly, frowned slightly, and looked towards the boundless night.It takes about half a month to travel from the capital to Yuling.But because they were eager to rush to the border, they ate and slept all the way, and traveled day and night. It took less than ten days to reach the foot of the mountain three hundred miles away from the border.

After crossing this mountain, one may be within the scope of activities of Xuanming's spies. Under Ning Yu's persuasion, Lan Jing finally agreed to set up a camp for a day, and led the army to break through the encirclement early tomorrow morning, and went straight to Yuling.

Not far away, a middle-aged man wearing a general's armor was staring at the two sitting together, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

This man named Ning Yu came to join the army with a group of people with martial arts skills halfway, and his own kung fu was even more unfathomable. In the battle against the robbers who wanted to plunder supplies, he felt that things were not that simple.

This man looked young, but he acted with rare sophistication. Not only did he not have too much quack air in his gestures, but he looked like a general trained by a regular army?This short period was only ten days, not only his own subordinates were respectful and polite to him, but even the soldiers he brought with him gradually began to obey his orders. Such a rare talent has not been discovered by the court in the past, it is really Longxiao Kingdom Loss.

The man shook his head, but his eyes slowly fell on Lan Jing who was covered with a cloak and a light veil.

The strangest thing was the handsome man beside him. It can be said that standing among a group of burly and vigorous soldiers, he became pitifully thinner.He doesn't seem to know martial arts, and he seldom speaks. For so many days, he just rides beside Ning Yu on horseback, and even rides with him when he is tired, and sits in his arms without hesitation...

The man twirled the beard on his chin, and inadvertently turned his head. When he saw the only two carriages in the line, he tightened his brows with a sudden realization.

Sitting in the carriage were ten dancers sent to the border by the imperial court, or in other words, they were military tricks used to reward meritorious ministers.In the past, Li Xuan won battles in the northwest, and it was often seen on the list of rewards, but I heard that he himself never kept it.Now... that child who is following Ning Yu is probably a pet or something?

The war was imminent, but he brought his pet to the front line at every step...

The man shook his head helplessly again, young people nowadays...

……

Yuling Pass in the early morning is still permeated with the frightening silence for many days. On the ground and between the city walls, the morning mist condenses into frost on the cold stone bricks. vast.

Li Xuan was wearing a black thick velvet cloak, and walked slowly along the mottled stone steps to the city wall.Looking around, not far from the pass is the camp of the Xuanming people. People can already be seen walking back and forth between the dark military tents, and even the faint smoke of cooking can be smelled in the air.

It has been nearly half a month since the city was besieged, and the originally sufficient food and grass were gradually depleted.Although the soldiers didn't say anything, they all looked determined to fight to the end, but he could feel that once they really came to a situation where people had no food, horses had no grass, and they couldn't eat enough all day long, it would be an inevitable result to lose the morale of the army.

Therefore, the last end in the southwest direction outside the city, the land with dense camps, is the target he obtained after many days of observation-the granary of the Xuanming people.

Although he knew that this place must be heavily guarded and a fierce battle would be inevitable, but he had no choice but to make such a plan, it was better than staying in the city and waiting to die...

"General."

Ling Feng did not know when he came to Li Xuan's side, and looked forward side by side with him, "Is it today?"

"Just today, you have to be more careful." Li Xuan nodded, then turned his head to look at him as if thinking of something suddenly, and said with a slight frown, "There is still no news from the prince?"

"No..." Ling Feng's expression darkened, and he shook his head sadly, "I don't know if it's because the person who sent the message was intercepted, but I haven't received any news from the palace for many days..."

Li Xuan sighed softly, but his fingers resting on the city wall became tighter and tighter.

"Don't worry, General, Ning Yu is here." Ling Feng suddenly put on a relaxed look, patted Li Xuan's arm and joked, "If that guy is serious, even I will be afraid. As long as we can successfully fight back Foreign enemies, moving troops back to the court, are you afraid that there will be no reunion?"

"I hope." Li Xuan pursed his lips lightly. Now that he is surrounded by Xuan Ming's heavy soldiers in the city, it's like a battle between trapped beasts. Whether he can wait for the chance to escape from the dangerous situation depends on God's pity. How dare you expect to win?

"I'll give you [-] elite soldiers, and you can sneak attack the enemy's food and grass. If you can bring back the best, if you can't, burn them all." Li Xuan said while slowly drawing something on the stone bricks with his fingers, " I will deploy archers in the city to cover your retreat, and lower the suspension bridge under the sign of three flames, if the enemy troops follow too closely..."

Li Xuan paused slightly, and the expression on his face gradually became a little dignified: "Then keep some people... let's cut off the queen."
