The soldiers said with some concern: "Young general, Cui Jianjun did not pay the food early in the morning, and put Yunzhou in a dangerous situation, which almost caused riots/chaos among the people. It was he who refused to obey the military order first, so we can express our feelings, please the emperor. Judgment. At this moment, Cui Jianjun told our army to leave the city again, [-] troops against [-] troops, isn't it clear that we will take our lives for it?"

Sitting on the couch, with his elbows on his knees and his head resting on his fingers, Wei Xuan mumbled, "If he doesn't give us food, how long can our ten thousand troops last? Wei Li is not in the army, he is obviously I know it. It’s a trick, but we know it’s a trick, but we have to do it.”

He raised his head, because of insomnia for many days and never had a full meal, his face was haggard and his eye sockets were sunken.

"Cui Hao is right. Wan Yanmin's [-] army is a beast at this time and has to be eliminated. Now that Cui Feng has arrived in Shuozhou, he still has a [-] army sent by the imperial court, which is sufficient. If he can According to the plan, we will flank Yan Min back and forth with me, and we will have an [-]% chance of winning this battle."

The soldier said: "The subordinates just think Cui Jianjun deliberately withheld Yunzhou's food and salary. Even if we win this battle, I'm afraid there will be more trouble afterwards."

Wei Xuan stood up and sighed: "I don't care about that much right now. The people of Yunzhou City can't wait, and neither can our soldiers. And my father who is far away in Beiguan can't wait anymore. The only thing we can do is solve it as soon as possible." Wan Yanhong is a hidden danger, we can take the initiative by recovering Beiyan as soon as possible, joining forces with my father's army, and repelling Beidi."

He turned his head and said to his soldiers: "You send a smarter person to Hongya Tianchao, tell Ah Liang to retreat to Fenzhou first, and let Wei Li lead the army back to help." He paused, and said: "If he If still alive."

"Even if Cui Hao knows that Wei Li is leaving the city, as long as he doesn't have concrete evidence to prove that we are connected with Huaizhong, he will do nothing to us."

The soldiers bowed and withdrew from the military tent.

In the evening of the next day, five thousand Shuozhou troops arrived at the west gate of Yunzhou City with grain and grass, followed by the big grain merchants of Shuozhou City.They escorted grain trucks through the streets in a high-profile way, and the people lined up and cheered.

The eyes of the soldiers were red, and he said: "We are desperately protecting them, but we have never seen them so enthusiastic. On the contrary, because of that little food, our Yunzhou army scolded us like the third grandson. It was sent by the Shuozhou army. This is our food and grass, but they are lucky to regard Cui Hao as a hero to save the world."

Seeing that the military supplies had received the food and grass, Wei Xuan turned around and left.

He said: "We are soldiers. It is our mission to protect the safety of the local people. There is nothing worthy of their gratitude. It is our dereliction of duty to let the people panic and lose their trust in the garrison, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with. "

The soldier lowered his head: "I don't resent the people, I just don't like Cui Hao. He has no merits, but he dictates to the major general and pushes the major general to this point. I, I just can't get angry."

Wei Xuan didn't look sideways, and said coldly: "If you can't get angry, just save this resentment and save it on the battlefield to kill a few more enemies."

The soldier clenched his fists.

Wei Xuan glanced at him and said, "Okay, anyway, it's a good thing to have food. Go and tell the cook that there is enough food tonight, so the soldiers must have a full meal."

The soldier sniffed, nodded with red eyes.

In the middle of the night, Wei Xuan sat in the tent and sorted out her clothes.He has a very cherished little bundle, which contains the clothes Qin Wu sewed for him, which he has been reluctant to wear.There was also a purse in the interlayer of the clothes, which was stuffed into his hand by Qin Wu at the door of his house on the day he set out for the expedition.

Since he left for the war, he has been able to receive a small portrait from home every year, which depicts Wuyou and Yuaner.

He picked up the worn-out portrait and looked at it carefully, rubbed Yuan'er's face with rough fingers, and couldn't help laughing: "This kid, he's getting fat again."

When the fingertips slid across Wuyou, the movements softened: "You really look like your mother."

He couldn't help touching his face again: "Father has grown rough these past few years, I don't know if you will dislike him."

Suddenly remembering something, Wei Xuan went to the table, took a piece of rice paper, and drew a picture with a brush.

In the painting, Qin Wu is lazily leaning on the grand teacher's chair, with a cute and naive expression, a little anger in the corners of his eyes and brows, but more charming and charming.Standing dejectedly beside her was a tall man. When she looked closely, although the man had annoyed expression on his face, there was a deep smile in his eyes.On the side of the courtyard wall on the man's side was a little man, grinning and tiptoeing to the side...

At that time, the scenery was just right, and he seemed to smell the fragrance of wisteria flowers.

He blew on the ink, carefully folded the painting, and stuffed it into his purse together with the small portraits that he had flipped through countless times.

This night, he had a dream.In the dream, he was riding a war horse on the streets of Shengjing City.Qin Wu lived in the attic next to the street with his two sons and daughters.He passed by on horseback, Qin Wu smiled and threw a purse from the window, and shyly called out: "Husband, you are back."

At dawn, Wei Xuan woke up.He asked his soldiers to prepare hot water and took a bath.He changed into the clothes Qin Wu made for him, hung a purse around his waist, put on his armor, and sat quietly in the tent.

"Ah Wu, I will definitely go back."

Jade Mountain Royal Court.

Mrs. Yu was restless, and he sent many people away, but they couldn't find out Wei Xi's whereabouts.

"It can't be delayed any longer, and the order will go on, and the three armies will be fully equipped, and troops will be dispatched tomorrow morning to take Yanzhou directly."

Shen Qingfeng persuaded: "Now that Marquis Wei is stationed at Beiguan, Wanyanhong has withdrawn from Yanzhou. On the surface, Yanzhou city is empty, but since Wanyanhong dared to let go, it means that there are still hidden troops in Yanzhou city. If not , Marquis Wei will not give up harvesting Yanzhou for the time being. If we take Yanzhou at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult. What's more, both Chuanyun Pass and Beiguan have Weijia troops, and Yanzhou is caught in the middle. It's even harder to get out."

Clutching the armrest tightly, Yu said, "Then have you found the whereabouts of Xiao Shizi?"

Shen Qingfeng paused, then shook his head: "Your Highness has always been very defensive, Qingping is His Highness's person, and I have had a lot of trouble with me over the years, let alone tell me about His Highness."

Mrs. Yu said: "Your Highness is not here, nor is the young prince. Does the Murong family rely on me as a woman! Qingfeng, you have to know that your highness and the prince are the core forces that unite our Murong clan. They are loyal to His Highness, is Prince. If you let them know that His Highness and Prince are not in the royal court, what do you think they will do?"

Shen Qingfeng lowered his head and remained silent for a while.

Yu Shi rubbed the center of her brows, and said with a wry smile: "You don't have to pretend to be in front of me anymore, I know you belong to Xi'er. Tell me, what are your plans."

Shen Qingfeng glanced at Mrs. Yu, saw her look of distress, and couldn't help but sighed: "Your Highness is also thinking about the overall situation. Your Highness is in danger, and we didn't expect it. But your Highness said before leaving that if he really has something Unexpectedly, the entire Murong family army was ordered to cooperate with Lord Wei."

"Looking at the current situation in Beiyan, Marquis Wei is fighting against the enemy at Beiguan, and General Yang Li is guarding Chuanyun Pass. Wanyanhong's Tibetan army is like a tiger spying on Gaolan Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to hunt. Madam is right, we really should take Yan at the moment. But first discuss a countermeasure with Marquis Wei and General Yang, which can not only occupy Yanzhou, but also kill Wan Yanhong."

Yu raised her head slightly disappointed: "In the final analysis, he still faces Wei Ru."

Shen Qingfeng said: "It's not who His Highness is partial to, but looking at the current situation in Beiyan, this is the safest way. In the first battle, almost the entire Murong clan was slaughtered, and their vitality was greatly damaged. The Wanyan clan gradually grew stronger, We can only shrink back to a corner. Even the royal court of Yushan was taken back by His Royal Highness with the help of Lord Wei. In the final analysis, the Murong family is too weak. When the weak side does not have enough time to become strong, it can only choose one side. The strong are attached, otherwise all that awaits us is the end of being wiped out."

"Obviously, on the land of Beiyan, the only ones we can rely on are the Guards."

He glanced at Mrs. Yu's slightly frowned brows, and said, "Actually, Madam agrees in her heart. The source of Murong's great enmity was traced back to Wanyan's actions, and Qi State was an accomplice. But standing on the side of Lord Wei, From a standpoint, he did nothing wrong."

Yu closed her eyes and sighed: "You are right, we are too weak. Wanyan Zhe died, but he did not die at the hands of my Murong. I can't swallow this breath. I am old too, I don't know how much time I have to live. No matter what, even if the land of Beiyan is handed over to Qi State, I will watch with my own eyes the descendants of the Wanyan family die one by one in the hands of my Murong family."

Her hands trembled slightly, and a line of clear tears rolled down her thin cheeks.She said: "Qingfeng, do you know that since I returned to the royal court, I have been dreaming of His Highness the Crown Prince every night. In the dream is his appearance when he was young. There is no one who can compare with him. I was chosen as the crown princess, and I don't know how many girls from Beiyan are jealous. It was so good at that time."

She glanced at Shen Qingfeng, and smiled suddenly: "At that time, you and Qingping were still little babies, chasing His Highness the Prince's ass all day long, begging him to teach your brother horseback riding and archery."

Shen Qingfeng's nose was sore, tears fell uncontrollably.

Yu continued: "But sweet dreams are always short-lived. More often, I would dream of the wall of the royal city. The corpses of the clansmen hung on the wall, and the blood flowed down the city wall, staining the walls outside the royal city red. Leave the grass."

"I heard someone read a poem: the grass on the original, the sun is exposed. The old dwelling and the new ridge are in harmony. So I begged Lord Wei to name him Xi, because I hope he will always remember the grassland outside the king's city, which is his whose ancestors were stained red with blood."

Shen Qingfeng lowered his head and wiped his tears, and said: "Your Highness has never forgotten hatred. It's just that hatred should not be the only thing in his life, and he also hopes that Madam can see it away and let it go."

Yu said: "I know all about it." She pointed her finger at the mouth of the heart: "It's just that it told me that it didn't want to. It died on the day Wanyanzhe slaughtered the city. The only one who can pay homage to it is Wanyan's family." The fate of the whole family."

Shen Qingfeng stood up, bowed to Yu Shi and saluted: "Qingfeng will definitely fulfill Madam's wish."
