But what if Baiyue sneaks in, or the government suddenly strikes..." Although Li Yunling also understood this truth, he still murmured: "After all, this is the inheritance left to you by your mother. "

Shen Changhe interrupted bluntly: "If you want to know the answer, you must first practice the marksmanship."

Li Yunling was speechless.For so many days, she has been studying and practicing marksmanship diligently, but with little success.What shocked her deeply was that Shen Changhe's marksmanship was surprisingly stable, accurate, and ruthless. If he wasn't too weak to hold a pistol for a long time, he would have been the only sniper in the new army.

"Oh." She replied unhappily.Shen Changhe rubbed the top of her head, laughed and cursed: "Oh what, keep practicing!"

At the same time, it was not easy for Xiao Ziye on the northwest border.

He likes to fight and knows how to fight, but it is the first time in his life that he has fought such a difficult battle.According to the old rules, every time a battle is won, only the soldiers are dealt with, and the civilians are not involved.But this time the Hute common people opened his eyes.

During the day, they disappeared into the mountains without a trace, but at night, they went down the mountain to steal troops and plot against them, killing countless garrison troops;Therefore, within a few days, the morale of the army began to be unstable, and rumors even spread from time to time.

"General, there are envoys outside the tent asking to see you."

When the herald came to report, Xiao Ziye was fascinated by the sand table map.He asked: "Who is coming? How many people?"

"Reporting to the general, the person who came is a woman, and there is only one person." The herald said: "She said that there is something for the general to look at."

Xiao Ziye took the letter paper he presented, flipped through it briefly, and his face changed suddenly: "Please come in quickly!"

When the woman came in, the left and right had already been screened back.Xiao Ziye walked forward quickly, just in time for the woman to take off her hood, revealing her long light brown hair and a pair of narrow brown eyes.She looked like she was in her early 20s, with a slender figure and slightly deeper facial features than those of Qin people, so she could barely be called a delicate and beautiful woman.

——Although the appearance is ordinary, it is rare to be born with a pair of brilliant and colorful phoenix eyes. The temperament is lofty and elegant, which makes people forget the commonplace.

"You are..." Xiao Ziye trembled.The woman bowed and saluted with Central Plains etiquette, her voice was gentle and slightly low: "Gaochang Guoshi Nadia Hormuz, I have met General Xiao."

"...Shen Rufeng." Xiao Ziye finally uttered the name that had been dusty for more than twenty years, shaking his lips.The woman smiled: "Brother Ziye, you really still remember me."

Xiao Ziye slowly stretched out his hand and held her pale and slender hand: "Sister, how have you been all these years?"

That's right - the woman in front of her is Shen Rufeng, the daughter of former Southwest General Yingfeng and former Fire Worship Leader Shen Mugui, Shen Changhe's younger sister.Now Zoroastrianism has become a historical term, and Protestantism has replaced it as the state religion of 72 countries in the Western Regions. The young woman in front of her is not only the Gaochang State Teacher, but also the Protestant Archbishop.

"I'm fine." Shen Rufeng smiled softly: "His Majesty Kesul treats me very well, like a younger sister." Her Chinese is very good, but it's still a bit jerky when you listen carefully. It should be used less in normal times. for the sake.

Xiao Ziye nodded and said eagerly: "Changhe now..."

"Brother Ziye." Shen Rufeng interrupted him, and said, "I came here secretly today to remind you of an important matter - the Baiyue army has entered the frontier, intending to harm the Southwest Military Government."

"It's impossible." Xiao Ziye frowned: "Xian Pu won't do that, I trust him!"

"The rebellion of the Hute people on the border is closely related to the Turkic state's intention to go south again. My brother must not stay here for a long time, so as to avoid more accidents." It will be handled properly, so that your big president will not be able to blame your brother."

"But..." "Brother, if you don't go back, it will be too late."

Shen Rufeng's tone was serious: "If the general sets off now, he should have time to avoid the loss of life when he returns to Liangzhou, otherwise...the consequences will be disastrous."

Take advantage of the void ([-])

Shen Rufeng is not alarmist.But Xiao Ziye didn't believe her words at this time, or rather, he was skeptical.But thousands of miles away in Liangzhou in the southwest, the people left behind are facing an unprecedented crisis like dark clouds overwhelming the city.

——When the Southwest Military Government was unprepared, hundreds of thousands of troops marched thousands of miles at night, drove straight in, and pointed their swords at Liangzhou City!

The worst still happened.Although Pei Xuan had prepared before, he still didn't expect this day to come so fast, and it was so menacing. Of course, he was caught off guard, and within a few days, he landed in the isolated city where he could not go out. The point of a moment of respite.

Everyone in the mansion was running around to prepare for the battle, but it was still orderly in chaos.Li Yunling stood outside the door and watched for a while, then walked back resentfully, and said to Shen Changhe who was lying on his side on the soft couch, "My lord, what should we do this time? Are we going to die here?"

"No hurries."

Shen Changhe didn't look up at her, and slowly stretched his hands behind his head, stretching quite comfortably, and said in an equally lazy voice, "Wait."

What are you waiting for?Waiting to die?

Li Yunling was about to scold, but his tone became bad: "Wait for Xiao Ziye to come back to help? I'm afraid the grass on our graves will be three feet high!"

After that, she turned and left.But after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "My lord, you are not that kind of person."

Shen Changhe frowned and remained silent.Li Yunling took a deep breath and said, "You have a backup, so you have nothing to worry about, right? I would like to hear more about it."

"Yunling," Shen Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes drooping down, covering his gray-green eyes: "You think highly of me. I'm like the kind of "planning strategies, winning thousands of miles away" people?"

"A person like Young Master would beg to die? I don't believe it." Li Yunling said while thinking, "Then, are you... are you gambling?"

As soon as the word "gambling" came out, the gray-green eyes finally widened a little.Shen Changhe looked her up and down, and suddenly laughed softly: "Oh?"

Li Yunling swallowed, but closed his mouth tightly without answering.At this moment, she had vaguely guessed something in her heart—although, there was no conclusive evidence.

But what followed was shock.Since when did she learn to hide her inner thoughts?Is it true that those who are close to ink are black?

"exactly."

Seeing that she was reluctant to speak for a long time, Shen Changhe finally opened his mouth, and said slowly: "I am gambling."

Whether it is Pei Xuan or Li Yunling, both of them have persuaded him; moreover, he himself thought that if he made a wrong step in his errands, not only himself, but also the entire Southwest Military Government would be in a doomed situation!

——If he loses the bet, what face does he have to meet his mother whom he has never met in the ground?His mother, the former general Yingfeng, was also a hero of the generation after all, if this great foundation was indirectly destroyed by his hands, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the whole world?

In the flickering flames, Shen Changhe's young and beautiful face had an unprecedented solemn expression: "Yunling, are you afraid of death?"

"I don't want to die." Li Yunling said honestly, "But when it comes to avoiding the inevitable, I will not be afraid."

Shen Changhe finally stood up from the soft couch, put on a snow-white fox fur, grabbed her wrist, and said, "Follow me."

What is the concept of one hundred thousand troops?Li Yunling had never thought about it before.But now standing on the high city wall and looking down, she only felt shivering from head to toe, and her eyes began to bloom——

Black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it, and Jiaguang opens to the golden scales of Japan.Although the sky was dim at night, the dazzling fire that soared into the sky was extremely dazzling, and it actually illuminated the vast darkness like day.Baiyue's economy and military are very backward, but at this moment, the iron armor exuding cold light from their bodies is enough to make the few defenders in the city instinctively fear!

"Ge Lao, how many defenders are left in the city?"

"Less than [-]." Pei Xuan frowned tightly: "There are about [-] reinforcements outside the city, but they are divided into four groups and none of them will not arrive within three or four days."

Shen Changhe said indifferently: "There is no rush. Is there enough food, grass and weapons?"

Pei Xuan was stunned for a moment before replying: "8000 people don't need much food and grass, if you add the common people... it can last for ten days and a half months."

"It's enough." Shen Changhe nodded slightly, and suddenly approached Pei Xuan's ear, and said something in a low voice.Li Yunling couldn't hear what he said, but he could see the astonishment on Pei Xuan's face: "Really, really?!"

"My father who counted all the plans left behind a good plan, there is nothing wrong." Shen Changhe said: "Liangzhou City is indestructible, and it is the best strategy to hold on. Everything will be decided when the general returns. If something happens during the period, I'll deal with it."

Pei Xuan looked at him with wide eyes, and after a while he let out a breath: "Changhe, don't mess around! How can you deal with this situation alone? Protecting yourself is better than anything else. I don't want to let your mother down!"

"I also want to be alone, but there will be eggs under the overturned nest?" Shen Changhe smiled and said: "I was too selfish to prevent the old man from causing this disaster, but now I just want to make a mistake."

After receiving such an answer, Pei Xuan was speechless for a moment.He said this in front of all the officials of the military government, and the direct result was that he took all the responsibility on himself—at the same time, he also cleared up the faults of Xiao Ziye and Pei Xuan.

At this moment, all the retainers looked at each other in blank dismay, because no one knew what Shen Changhe had done to Pei Xuan
