Three days later, Xiao Weixin once again led his army to fight fiercely with the rebels in Chaizhou, but this time the situation was a little different from before.

First of all, the rebel army is obviously not united internally, and has lost a lot in terms of morale.Secondly, some soldiers who charged in front of the formation refused to cooperate with the command of the army division. The battlefield was chaotic like a temporary team that was assembled temporarily, and frequently made mistakes and gave away heads to the opponent.

The most important thing is that Liu Tiezhu, as the leader of the rebel army, turned his back on the water at such a critical moment, and brought thousands of his subordinates to surrender to Xiao Weixin. .

But even so, this battle was not too easy. After all, the number of opponents is suppressed. It is not easy for them to win with one enemy and two. Even if the leader Liu Tiezhu rebelled, the prestige of the military division is still there. After all, most of the soldiers were brought by him, and they were very obedient.

Xiao Weijing was still locked in the cage of the enemy camp before. Taking advantage of the war and no one had time to look after him, he sneaked into the camp of the military division and found many evidences of collusion with Xi Rong, and Ying Qi burned it down. The grain depot of the rebels.After finishing all this, the two people swaggered out of the enemy camp through the back door, looking at the raging fire behind them, they suddenly felt happy in their hearts.

The battle lasted until the fifth day, and it was almost coming to an end. Xiao Weixin wanted to capture the culprit military division alive, but he didn't expect that he still had three points of courage. and died.And after his death, the remaining soldiers were lingering like ants who had lost their leader, and they were easily suppressed by Xiao Weixin.

When counting the endgame, the lieutenant general came to report that there were 4 rebels who had surrendered, while the remaining manpower on our side was less than [-].

When they left the city, they brought 5 people with them, but when they returned, they brought less than [-]. This shows that the battle was difficult, but they still won in the end.

Although Xiao Weixin regretted not being able to catch a live military adviser, after reading the letter Xiao Weijing brought from the tent, he sneered and said: "No wonder Xia Maoan dared to take advantage of this rebellion. It turned out that he had already discussed it with King Xirong. good."

"His ambition cannot be hidden."

"It's a pity that this doesn't explain anything." Xiao Weijing sighed, "If the military adviser surnamed Chen is still alive, but once he dies, these letters cannot be used to identify Xia Maoan, and that old slicker can get away at any time."

"It's impossible to overthrow him in one fell swoop." Xiao Weixin handed those letters to Xiao Weijing, "You put these things away and bring them back to Xiao Weishen to see, his good uncle has already murdered him , he will understand in his heart what to do in the future."

Xiao Weijing nodded, and put away the letters obediently.Just after a battle, Xiao Weixin asked the army to rest in place for two days, planning to return to the court after all the things were packed.

But before they could pass the news of victory back, bad news came from the capital.

You Shu looked at Xiao Weixin's gloomy expression since he finished reading the letter in the bamboo tube handed by the kingfisher, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he hurriedly asked him: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Weixin said in a cold voice with a livid face: "Xiao Weishen... death is not a pity!"

Seeing that he was so furious, You Shu quickly took the note and looked at it carefully. It was Mr. Yingshou's handwriting, but the short numbers were shocking.

It turned out that the new Khan King of Xi Rong who had just taken over the throne a few days ago somehow started to send troops to the border again. He brought [-] soldiers and horses to kill the veteran defender of Lizhou, and then hung his head outside the city. After leaving the two border cities, they clamored for the emperor of the Central Plains to send troops, otherwise they would kill all the animals in the remaining five cities on the border.

Xiao Weishen was also a little irritated at first as he rushed to deliver the letter to the palace one by one, thinking about protecting the remaining cities on the border.But Prime Minister Xia jumped out to persuade him not to be impulsive. Xirong just wanted a few cities on the border. Now that the country has been plagued by disasters for years and people are struggling to survive, and they have just cut off the military power of General Yang. The military power that was so easily recovered cannot be let go. .

At this time, the Yang family must not be called back, otherwise it will be even more difficult to end in the future, and the rebels in Huzhou have not been completely wiped out, and the court has insufficient troops, so what can they use to fight Xirong?

After all these high-sounding reasons were laid out, Xiao Weishen, who was already a little cowardly and greedy for life, stopped thinking, and did not mention the matter of sending troops to the expedition. To give those generals a chance to resist, he also deliberately dismissed the early court, and refused to go to the court for several days, and he did not see anyone.

Old General Yang anxiously brought Yang Qixian into the palace overnight to meet him, but was brutally rejected. In order to show his determination to fight, the Yang family and his son knelt outside the palace and asked to send troops. Unfortunately, it was rainy and rainy all night, The father and son of the Yang family knelt in the rain, and the old general almost died in front of the palace gate.

But after kneeling for three days and three nights, Xiao Weishen didn't even open the door of the bedroom, making it clear that he didn't intend to change his mind.

In the end, Old General Yang passed out due to old age and lack of strength. Only a little maid secretly held up an umbrella for him.

On the fourth morning, Yang Qixian, who had been kneeling on the ground silently, carried his father out of the palace alone, without saying a word.

How many people sighed, how loyal and brave the Yang family is, the emperor is really cruel to this point.

You Shu didn't expect that the plot would be moved two years ahead of time, which caught him off guard, and he inevitably panicked, "There are still tens of thousands of people in the five border cities, could it be that..."

Xiao Weixin calmed down, turned around and said to Xiao Weijing who had also started cursing: "Let's return immediately, the sooner the better, before that idiot Xiao Weishen makes the final decision!"

"Okay." Xiao Weijing nodded, "I'll go check it out now, and we'll set off in the afternoon."

When Xiao Weijing left, You Shu hesitated for a while, but still said: "Can you wait for a while? We still have some things to deal with."

Xiao Weixin knew what he was talking about. Although the immediate urgent matter was urgent, sooner or later Poppy's matter would be a serious concern. He thought for a while and said, "Alright, I'll go with you."

The army started to return in the afternoon. Xiao Weixin wanted Xiao Weijing to lead the army back to Beijing first, and he and You Shu would handle the matter alone, and they would rush over later, but Xiao Weijing insisted on refusing, so Xiao Weijing Xin could only let the lieutenant lead the troops back first.

The three of them led nearly a few hundred people to the sea of ​​flowers in You Shu's memory. Because the mountain road was difficult to walk, they couldn't bring too many people in. Xiao Weixin got off the horse and followed You Shu himself. Walking down, Xiao Weijing followed closely behind.

When they saw the large sea of ​​poppies with their own eyes, Xiao Weixin and Xiao Weijing were both stunned. Fortunately, You Shu reminded them to cover their mouths and noses. All the soldiers who came down used thick cloth tied in front of their faces as masks to block it. Intense aroma.

"How to burn it?" Xiao Weijing looked at You Shu, "Will this thing be useful if it is burned?"

You Shu asked someone to bring a large amount of lime powder in advance, Xiao Weixin asked his men to start action immediately, and the process was quickly dealt with when there were too many people. You Shu saw the sea of ​​red flowers fall down in pieces, as if As if the big stone in his heart was also broken, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

At this moment, many strong men with knives suddenly appeared from nowhere, and surrounded them in an instant. You Shu's expression changed, and he immediately stood in front of Xiao Weixin. Those people were all dressed in foreign costumes , It doesn't look like a Central Plains person.

You Shu also finally figured out where the poppies came from, no wonder things that couldn't be found in the Central Plains appeared here, it really was the ghost of the Xirong people,

"Go!" You Shu shouted at Xiao Weixin.

Xiao Weixin drew out the long sword from his waist, and didn't listen to him.They brought only a hundred or so people, but there were more barbarians from Xirong who surrounded them. They could only retreat while beating, and suffered many casualties along the way.

You Shu looked at the fewer and fewer guards, and then looked at the Xirong soldiers who were several times larger than himself, knowing that this incident was more ominous than good, he never expected that there would be Xirong people involved in this matter , the original book does not have this plot.

Xiao Weixin's robe was stained with blood, and Xiao Weijing, who was still fighting with his sword not far away, could hardly stand still. Who would have thought that there would be so many Xirong soldiers hiding in the Central Plains? There are simply not enough staff.

You Shu almost counts one as ten, and already has countless sword wounds on his body, but he doesn't care about his injuries, he only thinks about how to get Xiao Weixin out.

Taking advantage of the fact that the guards could still resist for a while, You Shu pulled Xiao Weixin over and said anxiously: "Go first, it's too dangerous here!"

"I won't go." Xiao Weixin replied coldly, "I will never leave you."

You Shu shook his head and said seriously: "I'll be fine, don't worry."

Xiao Weixin didn't believe it at all, seeing the menacing approach from the other side, he was fully prepared, and said bitterly: "It seems that there are indeed ghosts in the army, otherwise our traces will not be found, these people have already ambushed here .”

You Shu thought of that little soldier who was not quite right again, and knew that it was too late to say anything now, so he could only urge him: "It's useless to think about it now, listen to me and hurry up!"

"Our people can last a little longer, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity, it will be too late!"

"Then you come with me." Xiao Weixin pulled his arm.

You Shu shook his head and refused: "I can't leave yet, they won't be able to resist for long, I stay to buy you some time."

"Go away, I will find you later."

Xiao Weixin still refused, he knew that Xiao Shu was talking nonsense, no matter how capable he was, it was impossible for him to beat so many people alone.

Seeing that he has been unwilling to cooperate, You Shu suddenly grabbed his hand and said with a serious face: "Xiao Weixin, listen."

This was the first time he called out his name together, Xiao Weixin was stunned for a moment.

"I have always listened to you, but this time you have to listen to me." You Shu whispered, "As the chosen one, you will definitely be able to return alive, so don't worry."

"After you go back, if... I don't go back, you remember to go to my room and have a look. There is an iron box under my bed, the one you have seen before."

"There are all my secrets there."

"You burn it when you're done reading."

When You Shu said this, he ruthlessly pushed him away: "I have worked hard for so many years, and I still point to your promotion and salary increase, so don't kill me!"

Xiao Weixin was caught off guard by his push and almost bumped into Xiao Weijing.

You Shu didn't turn to look at him again, he took his sword and charged into the crowd without hesitation, killing all directions like a ferocious wild lion, while slashing and killing, he led those Xi Rong barbarians back quickly.

He tried his best to attract firepower, intending to die with these guys.

You Shu's body was covered in blood, but he didn't feel sad. He knew a long time ago that maybe one day he would really die.

It used to be for the prince, but now it is for the person he likes.

It sounds pretty cool for a man to have the chance to fight and die for someone he likes.

Xiao Weixin discovered his intention, he wanted to rush this way with a terrified expression, but the enemies around him didn't give him a chance at all, and his arm was scratched.

At this time, the appearance of Nasutu was like the sound of nature to everyone.

But You Shu was too late, he broke the neck of the last person, and dragged the last few to fall under the cliff behind him.

Su Tu's men quickly suppressed the scene, but Xiao Weixin didn't care about himself at all. He tried his best to hold You Shu's clothes, but he could only see a falling afterimage.

The muddy water of the Yellow River flows eastward without a break, and there is no trace of anything that falls into it.
