Ever since Liang Han discovered her true colors, Yan Chongjin no longer pretended to be herself.As soon as the silver mask was lifted, what came into view was a face that was astonishing as heaven and man, which shocked Da Cong Zhanyu so much that he couldn't extricate himself.

No wonder this man has been covering up his appearance, no wonder he was favored by the Emperor of Chun Kingdom, such a rare and beautiful man, it would be a waste of heaven not to be a male favourite!

It's a pity...it's a pity that the other party has obviously recovered, and the eyes he looked at are also extremely confused.

Da Cong Zhanyu sighed dejectedly.Blame that bearded man for ruining his own good deeds...

Yan Chongjin coughed in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I... didn't know what happened just now, but I got dizzy and offended you."

Cong Zhanyu shook his head lightly, handed back the mask in his hand, and said flatly: "Men, there are always impulsive moments. Is it because of the emperor that you hold yourself back like this?"

Yan Chongjin's hands trembled, and he almost didn't answer.

"Here the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. It is so hard to defend the border. What's the harm in finding someone to relieve the loneliness?" Ta Cong Zhanyu straightened his clothes and sat up slowly, "What's more, there are many people around the emperor. He's willing to leave you here for so long, and he doesn't necessarily value you much in his heart..."

"Don't talk about Your Majesty!" Yan Chongjin interrupted with a frown, "My emperor is a hundred times stronger than your Datar king. As a subject, I can only repay the emperor's kindness by being loyal."

Da Cong Zhanyu laughed: "All the monarchs in the world are the same. They repay a cold emperor's heart with sincerity and blood... How silly."

But why isn't he just as stupid?Knowing that the man regarded himself as a pawn, he still came to do the dead without hesitation.Bale Menggan was willing to let him die, but he was not willing to let the opponent lose the world.

What's more, in order to let the Tatars return to the east, the Tacong family had been lurking in the north of Saibei for more than 300 years. How many ancestors died on the way of intruders?He was tired and wanted to end all of this, only wishing that he was the last Tacong family member who sacrificed for the country.

Da Cong Zhanyu looked at that handsome face with complex expression, bitterness and bitterness in his chest kept churning, and in the end, only sadness was left in his heart.

Yan Chongjin is a good subject, a good general, a good man... but he is also an enemy of Datar, a fortress that he must conquer.Even if he didn't want the other party to die, he didn't have a second choice.Because this person will never betray Dachun, the emperor of Dongdu, or his own belief.

So...he will let the opponent die on the battlefield as a hero.

Yan Chongjin hesitated for a moment, but still resolutely denied: "The emperor is kind and righteous, he is not a weak person, he is different from Bale Menggan!"

"Really..." Da Cong Zhanyu smiled, "That's good, then you are luckier than me."

Looking at the other party's sarcastic smile, and thinking about those letters that were never answered, Yan Chongjin suddenly lost his confidence.

Cong Zhanyu returned to Tingxue Courtyard.

Yan Chongjin's speech to the outside world is that people with meritorious service should not be left out in the cold, so he was invited to come to the mansion to celebrate the New Year, and it was lively and lively with all the soldiers.But when the first month came out, Ta Cong Zhanyu had no intention of leaving.

What's more, regardless of the objections of Yin Meixue and Lin Zhengxuan, the two got closer and closer.When spring began, Yan Chongjin would often stay in Tacong Zhanyu's room, to the point of eating and living together.

When He Xiaoshan drove the little pony to the White Sand Castle, he was quite surprised to see the commander's disregard of military discipline and military style.

But even though he is the candidate for the prospective son-in-law, he was also sent by Liang Han to experience outside the Great Wall.In addition, I have very little foundation in the army, so it doesn't make sense to offend Yan Chongjin as soon as I come, so I don't dare to talk too much, and just do what the superiors arrange honestly.

Yan Chongjin arranged the future son-in-law into the scout team, telling him that the enemy's situation on the battlefield is the most important thing, and good generals start with scouting horses.

This is of course nonsense.Now is not the time for a battle, and no department other than Tanma can make the fastest contribution.Since he is Liang Han's brother-in-law, he has no reason not to take care of him.

But He Xiaoshan still foolishly believed it, and rode around with the veteran on a fast horse all day long.Born in Saibei, he was quite familiar with the terrain of his homeland, and quickly figured out the way.

Spring is getting warmer and the ice and snow are melting.

The news came from the scouts: Tartars were found near the Taierla Pass.

Baishabao immediately stepped up its combat readiness.However, the defenders waited for almost two months, almost hopeless, and the enemy did not attack.

Yan Chongjin sent people out to inquire again, only to know that the Tatars started construction at the Taierla Pass and began to build a fortress.

The canyon was originally low-lying and prone to water accumulation during the rainy season, but due to Chunjun's explosives, part of the mountain collapsed and the valley bottom was filled a lot, forming a foundation for building a city wall.The Datars built a fortress where their 10 horses were buried.

And Chunren was powerless to stop it.

The new horses were not yet full grown, and would not be able to fight until winter at least.During this period, Baishabao could only rely on tens of thousands of cavalry to harass in turn in order to delay the opponent's construction period.

After being impatiently disturbed by the Yanzi army, the Datar camp was stationed on the east side of the Taierla mountain pass. The 20 army was strictly guarded, and the plan to make frequent raids by Chunguo Qingqi also fell through.

With the passage of time, the Datar fortress has begun to take shape.The generals in Baishabao could feel that the coach was visibly more anxious.

"Is that fortress important?" Da Cong Zhanyu asked while eating.

"Well, the emperor originally wanted to build a fortress there, enclosing the South and the North, but unexpectedly let the Datars take the lead..." Yan Chongjin sighed, "The other party is defending against danger. , and the troops are far superior to our army, I am afraid that the war will be stalemate for a long time."

Seeing his troubled expression, Da Cong Zhanyu asked cautiously: "Then there is no way to remedy it?"

"It's not impossible, but it will wait until winter, when the number of cavalry doubles."

"You want to attack by force?" Da Cong Zhanyu said in surprise, "In winter, the mountains of Terra are covered by heavy snow, so it is difficult to march."

"It is to wait for the heavy snow to seal the mountain, and wait until the enemy's defense is the most slack." Yan Chongjin smiled, "It is very cold in winter, and supplies are difficult. There must be very few soldiers left behind in the fortress. As long as there is no surprise and a surprise attack, the east and west will surely succeed." Take the stronghold into the hands of the Chun people. Hehe, the Datars worked for nothing for a year and built us a cheap fortress."

"How do things pinch?"

"He Xiaoshan recently discovered a passage that can bypass Terra. Although it is a bit narrow and dangerous, as long as you pass through, you can directly enter the territory of Datar and meet you..." Yan Chongjin suddenly felt a slip of the tongue and closed the door immediately. Go up and stop talking.

Da Cong Zhanyu's heart skipped a beat.

What does this mean...there are also internal responses from the Chun people in the Datar army?Will you help the Chun people occupy the fortress in winter? !

He was afraid that asking more questions would make the other party suspicious, so he poured the wine, raised his glass and said, "Then Zhanyu, I wish the commander-in-chief the best of luck."

Yan Chongjin snatched his wine glass: "How dare you drink when you are not in good health?"

"It's just fruit wine, it's okay to have a light drink." Da Cong Zhanyu smiled, "Dr. Liu usually watches closely, and I don't have a chance to drink wine, but if I drink with you, he won't dare to say anything."

"You took me to block the arrow."

"Didn't the handsome also use me as bait?"

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

On the same day, Ta Cong Zhanyu said "Do you want to know whether the emperor cares about you?" Yan Chongjin connected the other party to the Tingxue Courtyard.

The two look like married couples, they often sleep in the same room, and they look very close to outsiders, but in reality they are boiled tofu in plain water, and their relatives outside and their relatives acting sparsely.

Such a blatant transfer of love, even if the emperor is far away in the eastern capital, it is impossible not to hear the news.However, the excerpts sent back never mentioned any personal matters, let alone showed any displeasure, as if Liang Hao really didn't know anything.

As time passed, Yan Chongjin used wine to drown his sorrows more and more, and seemed to be getting more and more depressed.

Once the coach is slack, the people below will not be able to work hard, even Ting Xueyuan's defense will be lax.

Cong Zhanyu took the opportunity to spread all kinds of information, causing the guerrilla cavalry to suffer a few losses, and the golden-eyed eagle was fined to sweep the street.

Everyone said that the head coach was dazed by the foxy Tartars, and he was so dazed that there was no medicine to save him.

Only Tacong Zhanyu knew in his heart that the other party hadn't taken the bait at all.

Even if Yan Chongjin was accidentally tricked, he could always wake up at critical moments, so that he didn't ask any questions, and had to use side-talking methods to obtain information.

This made Ta Cong Zhanyu question his charm for the first time.

"Marshal, are you still resting here tonight?" Mo Yu's eyes glistened with water, staring at her faintly.

Why did it come again... Yan Chongjin felt a sharp pain in his hand, and the Lingtai was instantly clear.

"No, I haven't written this month's letter yet. I'm going to the study." He put on his mask and stood up.

Da Cong Zhanyu sighed: "The emperor never replied, why are you so unshakable?"

Yan Chongjin stood at the door, and smiled wryly: "Whether to return or not is his business, and whether to write or not is my business."

He stepped out, went down the steps, looked at the five or six needle holes in his palm, hissed, and shook his hands helplessly.

Every time he faced Da Cong Zhanyu, he hid a needle in his hand, and when he felt unconscious, he would prick himself and force himself to wake up by the pain.Although he didn't know what kind of demagogic method the other party used, he couldn't fall into the trap.No matter for Liang Han, or for Da Chun.

As the cool wind blew through the hem of his clothes, Yan Chongjin looked up at the clear blue sky and saw a lone goose flying south.

In the two years since he came to Saibei, it was the first time that he was looking forward to winter so eagerly.

On the night of the Cold Clothes Festival, the desert ushered in the first blizzard.

After a month of running-in training, the new horses and cavalry are already able to cope with fighting on the battlefield. The 20-scale cavalry means that the Chun people have the ability to confront the main force of Datar head-on.

After dawn, the wind stopped and the snow stopped.The gate of the White Sand Castle was wide open, and the endless army headed westward.

When they arrived at the Taierla Mountain Pass, it happened to be the coldest season in the desert, and it was also the time when the Datar defenders were weakest.Yan Chongjin personally led the army this time, aiming to win the fort in one fell swoop.

Before leaving, Da Cong Zhanyu saw him off, but Yan Chongjin didn't drink a few sips, and he passed out instead.

"I really don't know how to cherish myself." Yan Chongjin helped the drunk man to bed, covered the quilt, "When the commander-in-chief is away, let me see if you dare to touch alcohol."

With drunkenness in his eyes, Ta Cong Zhanyu said in a daze, "I only drink with you, no one else will accompany me."

"Then we have to wait for the commander to come back, and we'll get drunk." Yan Chongjin said with a smile, "If we seize the fortress, it will be difficult for the Tatars to move eastward, and this war will soon be over."

He turned to leave, but the other party grabbed the cloak.

"Yan Chongjin, can you not go?"

"Why? This battle is very critical, and I don't feel at ease if someone else leads the army. Besides, I haven't played in a battle this year, so it's time to stretch my muscles."

Cong Zhanyu's eyes seemed to be struggling for a while, his lips moved slightly, and finally let go of his hand.

"It's nothing...it's windy and snowy outside, come back early." He showed a hollow smile, "I'll wait for you here...return in triumph."

A dazzling smile appeared on Yan Chongjin's face. He put on the mask and replied with one word: "Okay."

The army set out and marched on the snow field again, and it took two months to leave, so Yin Meixue took over the White Sand Castle.

After Yan Chongjin left, Da Cong Zhanyu became taciturn, frowning all day long.Because of the cold and windy weather, he suffered from heart disease twice, and was scolded by Dr. Liu so that he shrank in the room like a hibernating squirrel and dared not come out.

On this day, a shop owner came to the Yin residence and delivered the goods ordered by Da Cong Zhanyu to Tingxueyuan.

Seeing that it was a black waist pendant, Da Cong Zhanyu's face changed drastically.

Yan Chongjin didn't restrict him from buying things, so he and the informants in Baozhong had been relying on the stalls selling pendants to communicate.Bai Pei is for victory, Hei Pei is for defeat, and Qing Yu Pei is for meeting and talking.

I clearly sent the news, how could Datar lose?

He suppressed the shock in his heart, and said to the steward, "Tell the boss, and make another piece of sapphire according to this pattern. After three days, I will pick it up myself."

"Yes, son."

After waiting in agony for three days, and arguing with Dr. Liu for half a day, I finally got the pardon to go out.

Da Cong Zhanyu wrapped in light fur got out of the carriage and entered the shop at the corner of the street.

He was a regular customer of ordering jade ornaments, so the servant welcomed him into the guest room in the backyard.

As soon as the cotton curtain was opened, a gust of warm air rushed over.

Da Cong Zhanyu rubbed his hands together and stepped into the door, but his expression changed the moment he saw the man in the room clearly.

"Zhanyu, long time no see." Yan Chongjin laughed softly while playing with a ring-shaped sapphire pendant.

Hearing the other party's familiar voice, Ta Cong Zhanyu's mind went blank.

"You... aren't you... going to war?"

"Why do I have to do it myself?" Yan Chongjin took off his mask and said calmly, "Mo Youtang should have arrived at the Taierla Pass by now, and the artillery should have fired."

"Bang!" There was a huge cracking sound in the sky above the Terra Fortress, waking the Datar army from their sleep.

"There's an enemy attack! Assemble!" Everyone rushed out one after another. When they looked up, they all froze in place in shock.

Mo Youtang fired a cannon ten miles away, but failed to shake the fortress, but caused an avalanche in Mount Taierla.

The piercing cold wind made the sky dim, and the entire mountain pass began to shake. The collapsing snow blocks and glaciers mixed into a swimming silver dragon, with the power to devour the world, roaring and rushing down from the top of the mountain... ...

Chunjun fired three cannons in a row, knocking off all the snow on Terra.In just a few breaths of time, the fortress in the valley was buried by the sea of ​​snow.After rushing out of the mountain pass, the gushing snow stream continued to grow, and even destroyed the Datar camp a mile away.

The remnants who ran out were either surrounded by the cavalry of the Chun people, or scattered and fled into the desert.As for whether it can survive in the ice and snow, it depends on whether Allah blesses it.

"Terla Mountain Pass is not suitable for building a fortress at all. The Chun people knew this 300 years ago." Yan Zhongjin explained with downcast eyes, "That place is in the west of the desert, and supplies are difficult. Moreover, the mountains are high and the valleys are low, and the earth, rocks and pines are pine. Crisp. In summer, there will be mudslides when there is heavy rain, and in winter, the mountains will be blocked by heavy snow, and there will be avalanches.” This is why he waited until winter to start.

Da Cong Zhanyu stammered and said: "Then I...the one I saw in the study...that fortress plan..."

"That's the wrong blueprint, I left it on purpose for you to see. The emperor's plan is actually to build a wall outside the mountain pass." The other party's voice was so calm that there was no wave, "You and I have repeatedly emphasized the importance of that fortress. The importance is to impress Bale Menggan."

Da Cong Zhanyu shook his body: "You knew I was a secret agent?"

"You said that you were abused by King Datar, but you didn't have a single scar on your body. You said you were punished and troubled, but your hands were well maintained." Yan Chongjin suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the other party. From the day I came to White Sand Castle, I knew why you came."

Since King Datar used the trick, why should he use the trick?Da Cong Zhanyu tried his best to gain his trust, and he was also working hard to act to convince the other party that what he said was true.

As for the so-called probing Liang Han... Yan Chongjin couldn't help but chuckled.

He had already clarified his plan in the secret letter. If the show started without even saying hello, it would be no wonder that Dongdu didn't blow up the nest.

Da Cong Zhanyu staggered two steps, held onto the edge of the table weakly, and said with a wry smile: "So... you've been lying to me these days?"

"Not really." Yan Chongjin sighed, "I really wanted to let you go to Dongdu, completely get rid of your identity as a guest, and completely forget your past experience. But you don't want to leave, and you have been with the people in the fort all the time. I have no choice but to let you go back to Tingxueyuan because of secret contact, because only by my side can I accurately mislead you."

In fact, most of the information Ta Cong Zhanyu got was true.Including the several defeats of the Golden Eye Eagle, it was Yan Chongjin's intentional arrangement.

Only by letting the opponent eat a few small baits will Bale Menggan fully trust the line of Da Cong Zhanyu, and will fall into the trap of the fortress.

Da Cong Zhanyu finally knows what it means to be clever and be misled by cleverness.

He always thought that he controlled Yan Chongjin, but he didn't expect to be seen through from the very beginning!It was also used by the other party to mislead Bale Menggan...

That person must hate him very much.

Hearing the bad news from the fast horse, Balmengan sat on the throne, dumbfounded.

Last time it was a landslide, this time it was an avalanche... I actually fell down twice in the same place!But this time, Datar directly lost 20 troops!

"Tarcong Zhanyu..." He stood up with a livid face, "You are so courageous, how dare you betray this king!"

Cong Zhanyu ran towards the wall, but bumped into a solid chest.

Yan Chongjin clutched his chest, and said helplessly: "I really don't understand, is such a king worthy of your death allegiance?"

Cong Zhanyu rubbed his forehead, weeping miserably: "I am not only loyal to the king, but also to the country, and to the family. I am Datar dead, since the mission failed, there is no reason to go back alive."

"But even if you are dead now, don't you still have to bear the name of a traitor and shame the family?" Yan Chongjin said, "Although it was a joke before, what I said still counts. You can stay, and You can go to the Eastern Capital. If there is a chance, I will let you and King Datar explain clearly in person, it is better than dying with a misunderstanding."

Da Cong Zhanyu looked at him in disbelief: "I've been lying to you, don't you hate me? Don't you want to kill me?"

Yan Chongjin shook his head: "You and I are our own masters, each depends on our ability, and we are responsible for winning or losing. What is there to complain about? Zhanyu, I only feel sorry for you, and I feel sorry for your fate."

If the Tacong family hadn't been a hidden stake placed by Datar in Chun, Tacong Zhanyu would have become the glory of Saibei just like Yin Meixue.If this person hadn't met a monarch like Balmengan, he might have become a capable official of Datar instead of a servant of Israel.

Compared with the other party, Yan Chongjin felt that he was too lucky.Even though he was born as the son of a devil, he still has the protection of the Yan family, and Father Yue never put him under pressure to restore the devil's way.Even if he became a so-called male favorite, Liang Han never humiliated himself at all, instead he trusted him with full power and gave him a chance to show his ambitions on the battlefield.

Although Ta Cong Zhanyu was approaching him by selling misery, some of the pain was real and indisputable.The bad luck that might have fallen on him was blocked by many people in the distance.

And this person can only struggle alone, without a shoulder to lean on, and no companion to share.

Tacong Zhanyu may be a vicious person, but on the battlefield, between the enemy and ourselves, how can there be any good or evil?What's more, the retention just before leaving is enough to show that this person is not a cold-blooded guest.He still has a conscience and will struggle!

That's why Yan Chongjin didn't want to kill him, and didn't want him to wither away.It was hard to live a new life, and he wanted to save more fallen souls.

I never thought that the person who knows me best and sympathizes with me the most is not the clansman I sacrificed for, nor the person who has been with me for many years, but a general of the enemy country, the person he wants to kill on the battlefield.

Da Cong Zhanyu couldn't help throwing himself into the opponent's arms, weeping bitterly, as if he wanted to release all the grievances of 40 years, and finally passed out due to excessive grief.

Yan Chongjin was completely speechless.

Just hit this board, do you need to hit the wall to die?I'm so sorry for my ribs...

He immediately asked Dr. Liu to take him back.

Now that Ta Cong Zhanyu's identity as a spy has been exposed, and a good show has come to an end, he can no longer stay in the Tingxue Courtyard, but sends him back to that remote courtyard in the Yin Mansion.

The battle at the Taierla Pass completely reversed the situation of the battle.Datar soldiers and horses lost nearly 40 in succession, but Dachun's cavalry surged to 30.The comparison of the strength of the two sides has become that the enemy is weak and we are strong, and the roles of offense and defense have also been reversed.

In the spring of the eighth year of Taihe, Liang Hao issued an imperial order for a comprehensive counterattack to Baishabao and Yangmenguan.

Yan Chongjin knew in his heart that all conspiracies and tricks were heretics, and what could determine the final victory must be the confrontation on the frontal battlefield.

From the beginning of spring, the Dachun and Datar armies began to fight frequently in the desert.Under the experience of blood, the new cavalry in the army grew up rapidly, and at the same time, a group of experienced warriors were also honed.

The tug-of-war was stalemate for more than half a year. When the severe winter came, the Datars withdrew from beyond the Great Wall and returned to the Datar grassland again. Balmenggan did not dare to deploy troops to the Taierla Pass, for fear of being bombarded by the Chun people again in an avalanche.

The Tartars didn't dare to keep anyone, but they didn't expect that Yan Chongjin led a hundred thousand cavalry to cross the snow mountain with grass and horses.

A large number of enemies suddenly appeared in the country, and in the most unlikely winter, all three camps of the Datar defenders were caught off guard.

The author has something to say:

Ba Le Menggan was riding on the horse, looking at the Yan character flag approaching the royal court, he couldn't help scolding his mother.
