Dare to Believe the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅲ

The sky was getting dark, the snowflakes in the sky had stopped, and the snow on the ground was basically gone due to the trampling of horses and soldiers. Gongsun Mingyue tightened his clothes and walked to the tent, looking at the mountains in the distance, deeply Sighing, I thought to myself: When the snow stops, the war will come soon.

Suzaku saw Gongsun Mingyue standing in the cold wearing a cotton coat, his face was a little red from the cold, Suzaku stepped forward and said with a smile, "Master Gongsun, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering if Qiu'er has seen General Pang. I wonder if Yanzhou has been besieged by the Nanxia army." Gongsun Mingyue glanced at him, then turned to look into the distance: "It's really rainy and windy. ah!"

Suzaku chuckled: "Mr. Gongsun, I think you don't have to worry about the general, but you should worry about yourself. I told you to go back to Yanzhou, but you disagree. This Yanzhou city at least has a general who can protect you, but here What? If the two armies are really at war, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to separate myself!"

Gongsun Mingyue was unhappy when he heard this, he turned around and said to Suzaku solemnly: "I can protect myself, I don't need you to protect me."

Suzaku knew that he was in a hurry again, and every time he talked about protecting him, he would get angry, but he needed protection as a frail scholar, and he just didn't understand the understandable truth.

"Okay, okay, okay, you don't need our protection, Mr. Gongsun protects himself with wisdom." Suzaku pretended to agree.

"Originally, you generals are always shouting and shouting. You never know that the human brain is the most powerful weapon." Gongsun Mingyue started his long speech again, but was interrupted by Qiu'er who rushed into the barracks.

"General Zhu, General Pang asked you to return to Yanzhou immediately." Qiu'er said out of breath.

Suzaku was puzzled, he asked inexplicably, "Go back to Yanzhou?"

"Yes, General Pang said go back immediately." Qiu'er said.

Gongsun Mingyue was also surprised, Pang Ce should know that this is the time when Suzaku is needed, and now let him go back, does he have other plans?

"General Pang told you to keep Flying Cavalry, and Yunqi's Wild Wolf Team will take them away together. He didn't explain the specific situation, but he said that you will know when you go back." Qiu'er said.

Gongsun Mingyue waved at Suzaku and said, "Since he told you to go back, then go back!"

Although Suzaku was very strange, he believed that the general's order was absolutely correct, so he immediately rectified his troops and left the barracks quickly.

As soon as Suzaku left, Qiu'er said to Gongsun Mingyue with concern: "Master Gongsun, it's getting colder and colder outside, let's go into the camp!"

Gongsun Mingyue looked at Suzaku who was going further and further away, shook her head slightly and sighed, "Let's go."

When Gongsun Mingyue walked into the tent, someone was already sitting beside his bed, stroking the quilt he was sleeping on, looking thoughtful.

Gongsun Mingyue saw the person coming, stepped forward, opened her mouth wide in surprise, but couldn't say anything.

"Why, did you become dumb when you saw me?" Pon Ce stood up, staring at him intently, with a warm smile in his eyes.

"You... why are you here?" Gongsun Mingyue asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"I miss you." Ponce stepped forward, trying to grab his hand, but he ran away.

Gongsun Mingyue looked at Qiu'er in embarrassment, there are still outsiders here, how could he speak so blatantly.

Qiu'er smiled slightly and said: "General, Qiu'er is leaving." After he turned and left, he finally understood why the general had to come, even at the risk of losing the city, he still had no hesitation.

Gongsun Mingyue looked at Qiu'er's leaving back, his heart was in a mess and he didn't know what to do.

Seeing his expression, Pang Ce couldn't help laughing, turned around and sat down at the table and said, "Come and sit!"

Gongsun Mingyue saw that he had no intention of leaving after sitting down, so she hurriedly said, "Why are you still sitting down? How urgent is the situation in Yanzhou now? How can you come here?"

"I told you, I miss you." Ponce still looked at him tenderly.

Gongsun Mingyue turned around and rubbed her frozen cheeks with both hands to hide her embarrassment. Now that the military situation is urgent, he still has the heart to think about it.

"Don't you miss me?" Pon Ce stood up and wanted to hug him, but he quickly avoided him.

Since they met till now, he has never known what was going on in his heart. If he was ruthless to him, why did he care so much about himself? If he was affectionate, why was he always so far away, and what did he think of?What exactly do you remember?The tribulations we have shared together or...?

Ponce never liked guessing. What he needed was an exact answer, no matter whether the answer was what he wanted or not.

Gongsun Mingyue turned around, his face had returned to normal, he said flatly: "My lord, do you know the message I asked Qiu'er to send you?"

"I know, but when he came, our war was over." Ponce sighed silently in his heart. Every time it came to this time, he could always find a way to change the topic.

"The war is over? Are you injured?" Gongsun Mingyue worriedly grabbed his cuff and looked up, down, left, and right.

At this time, Pang Ce felt a little relieved, he still cared about himself, and still had feelings for him, so why force him to confess, anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future, and he can spend time with him.Thinking of this, the corners of Ponze's mouth rose to reveal a happy smile.

Seeing his strange smile, Gongsun Mingyue threw off his sleeves and said unhappily, "You lied to me?"

Pang Ce smiled more happily: "I really didn't lie to you, we did encounter the Nanxia Army, but I was not injured."

"Then you encountered the Iron Harrier Army?" Gongsun Mingyue asked eagerly.

"No." Ponce said with a serious face, "I came to you for this reason."

"No, it's impossible." Gongsun Mingyue shook his head suspiciously and said, "It shouldn't be! If the Iron Harrier Army doesn't attack Yanzhou, where are they?"

"Yes," Ponce walked to the tent door, gently opened a corner of the tent door with his hand, and continued, "Only by finding this most powerful army can we have a chance of winning the war, but now it is have no idea."

"Don't worry, don't worry, let me think about it again." Gongsun Mingyue slumped down at the table, he really didn't think about this result, now he needs time to think about it.

There is still a big difference between cavalry and infantry. They are definitely not suitable for trekking mountains and rivers, so the imperial court has always chosen to camp near mountains or rivers, in order to prevent this small but powerful team.

Pang Ce sat beside him, looking at his haggard face and pale face, he knew that he was really exhausted these days, but as long as the war did not stop, he would never stop to rest.

"Pang Ce, do you think they will take the river?" Gongsun Mingyue said, "Although the river is frozen and not suitable for horses, it seems easier to walk by the river than to cross the mountains."

Pang Ce thought for a moment and said: "Maybe what you said makes sense, but how did they walk across the ice? Bare feet? I think the risk is too great. After all, they don't know the situation on the other side. Maybe a careless , They have not even crossed the river, they have already been killed by our people in the middle of the river."

Gongsun Mingyue knew what Pang Ce meant, but after much deliberation, Nan Xia's delay in taking action was nothing more than preparing for the freezing of the river, but what good would it do them if the river was frozen?At the beginning, he thought it should be used for them to save people, but thinking about it, Nanxia's plan is definitely not that simple. Why wait for the river to freeze in order to save people? As long as the defense is weak, as long as the Poxi army is added, the victory of this war will be much easier.

"Sigh." Gongsun Mingyue felt deeply frustrated, he didn't even know what the Nanxia Army was going to do, and how to win this war.

"Don't sigh, let's go out and have a look." Ponzer pulled him, ready to go out.

"Pang Ce, let's go to Zhuhe to have a look together?" Gongsun Mingyue looked at him with longing eyes, making him have no choice but to disagree, but it's almost dark outside now, is it safe to go now?

"Okay, I'll go with you." Ponce said firmly, and at the same time he thought to himself: Even if we die, let us die together.

After Gongsun Mingyue went to explain the matter to Shi Yuan, she took Pang Ce on a fast horse and ran towards the Zhuhe River. They didn't know that although this time was not a farewell to them, it was also a great test.

The night is fine tonight. Ponce looks up at the starry sky. The star in the southern Suzaku constellation has risen. At this time, the light is overshadowing all the stars. He now hopes that Suzaku can do the things he explained.

There are secret sentries on the bank of the Zhuhe River. After knowing that it is Gongsun Mingyue, they told them: "Gongsun Gongzi, the river has completely frozen, and now there is no problem with the cavalry, so you must be careful to prevent Nanxia spies from coming from the river." attack."

"Thank you." Gongsun Mingyue said, "You immediately send people to meet the large troops. When I first arrived, General Shi Yuan had already prepared the preparations. Now that I think about it, it should be almost ready. I also need to inform General Wu Yong, Let him bring everyone here, the sooner the better."

After Gongsun Mingyue finished speaking, she pulled Ponce away, "Fortunately, you are wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier, otherwise it would be really difficult for us to come here today."

"I am very willing to be Gongsun Gongzi's subordinate." Ponce said with a smile.

Gongsun Mingyue glanced at him: "Who wants you to be his subordinate?"

"You, you are a scholar, of course you need the protection of a powerful expert like me." Ponce joked.

Gongsun Mingyue was too lazy to look at him, so she turned her back and said, "You know martial arts very well, but I rely on wisdom, rely on wisdom, do you understand?"

Pon Ce stopped talking, because he heard a strange sound, rustling and trembling.

Gongsun Mingyue wanted to say something more, but Pang Ce stepped forward quickly, hugged him tightly, and covered his mouth with his hands. There was silence all around, only that strange voice, which made people's hair stand on end.
