Chu Qiao's life and death promise

On August [-]th, Hongchuan City, which had been trapped for twelve days, suddenly became silent.

"To the north of Hongchuan are Sui Jian and Qinchuan, both of which belong to the hinterland of Yanbei. If Hongchuan is broken, Yanbei will be broken. Yan Xun knows that he can't hold Hongchuan, and he will not retreat to Suijian to wait for death, so Yu Wenyue expected it well. .”

Under the round and big moon, Yuan Che and Yuan Song sat facing each other in Wei Jun's military tent. After Yuan Song finished speaking, he put down the teacup and folded the cloak on his shoulders with one arm.

"He still knows Yan Xun very well, he can't be wrong, there is no sound in the city today, and the moonlight is good today, how about you and my brother going out for a walk?" Yuan Che smiled deeply.

"Seventh Brother's invitation, how dare you refuse." Yuan Song readily agreed.

The two got on their horses in the moonlight, and with only a few dozen personal soldiers behind them, they rode on the horses and came directly to the gate of Hongchuan City.

"His Royal Highness King Xiang, His Royal Highness King Yanbei, there may be danger here."

When the personal guard saw the two men acting so boldly, he quickly jumped off his horse and knelt down in front of them.

"It's all here, why go back?" Yuan Che waved his hand, "Come on, break the city gate!"

"Absolutely not!" Qin Wei was shocked.

"Seventh Brother, what are you..." Although Yuan Song knew that Yuan Che knew what he was thinking, he was too reckless.

"This Hongchuan city is very famous. There is a heroine who protects the city. It is sung all over the world. Do you know who it is?" Yuan Che suddenly said to him.

"Of course I know." Mentioning that person, Yuan Song's eyes lit up involuntarily.

"That girl is amazing, it's a pity..." Yuan Che shook his head.

Yuan Song didn't say a word, he knew what Yuan Che was pitying, but he was just a good general of Qingben, and he couldn't help being a thief.

boom--

Just when Yuan Song was distracted, dozens of people smashed open the gate of Hongchuan City with logs on their shoulders.

Yuan Song subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand.

The shields of the personal guards instantly protected the two of them airtightly.

The heavy city gate opened, and the hoarse sound was a bit harsh at night, but it was even more eerily quiet.

Yuan Che gently pushed away the shield in front of him, and rode up on his horse.

The horseshoe clattered gently on the bluestone slab bridge and headed for the city.

Everyone was stunned, there was no one in the city?

Yuan Song was also stunned for a moment, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he quickly followed.

Darkness, silence.

In the city that was supposed to be full of soldiers and equipment, there was not a piece of armor or a spear in sight.

empty city.

It looked like it had been ransacked, but it was more thorough than ransacking.

Yuan Che and Yuan Song led people to wander around the city, the streets and alleys were empty, and the buildings were empty, only in some corners, trembling and hiding some people, looking at them with horror.

The soldiers went over, grabbed a few people and questioned them, saying that they had all left.

How did he go, where did he come from, and where did he go, all trembling and afraid to say.

"Okay, don't embarrass them, they are all poor people who have lost their homes." Yuan Song called back the soldiers.

Yuan Che seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he couldn't see any surprise.

"Brother Seven, did you know that Yan Xun would abandon the city?" Yuan Song couldn't help asking.

"If it were you, would you abandon the city or surrender? Would you let the people in this city run for their lives, or let them die with you?" Yuan Che pulled the reins of the horse and stopped.

"I'd rather die than surrender, but the people in this city..." Yuan Song hesitated for a moment, did he really want them to die together in the flames of fighting to the death?

"Don't forget what kind of city this is. The people in this city have been abandoned once. They don't believe in Yan Xun. They stick to Hongchuan. For us, it's tough on the outside, but to Yan Xun, it's hard. Internal troubles and external troubles, his people don't trust him, who will guard him?" Yuan Che spoke clearly.

"But how did they escape?" Yuan Song couldn't figure it out.

"Those who have experienced death will cherish life, and those who have experienced prison will learn to plan for rainy days. All of this is due to that heroine."

"Brother Seven, don't be a fool, how did they get out?" Yuan Song was impatient.

"True." Yuan Che got off his horse, walked to a certain shop, looked around, and explained to Yuan Song, "After the last battle, Chu Qiao could see that Hongchuan's position is difficult to attack. But it is also difficult to retreat. After the war, the army and the people dug tunnels together to prepare for emergencies. The reason why Yan Xun did not go to Qinchuan, which is the farthest from us, but stayed in Hongchuan after his defeat, is that Because he knows that whether it is Hongchuan or Qinchuan, he can't defend it, but if he goes to Qinchuan, it will be a dead end, and Hongchuan is his real way of life."

"But how do you know there is a tunnel here? It is said that Chu Qiao should have left when the tunnel was built." Yuan Song wondered.

"Is there anything else in this world that the spy paper sky eye doesn't know about?" Yuan Che turned his head leisurely.

"In Hongchuan City, there are people with spy paper sky eyes?" Yuan Song was even more surprised.

"Not only that, you may have seen it." Yuan Che patted his palms lightly twice, and slowly walked out a person from the corner of the shop just now.

With a slender body and light footsteps, like a black cat, it is elegant and dangerous.

Yuan Song gasped, "Meng Feng!"

"Your Highness." Meng Feng saluted respectfully with a calm face.

"I actually forgot. After Achu left, Du Ping'an came to me. I thought you had returned to Chang'an, but it turned out that you had sneaked into Hongchuan City." Xun's every move is under his nose.

"Yan Xun's route is the northwest?" Yuan Che asked.

"Return to Your Highness, that's right." Meng Feng nodded.

"To the southwest, isn't that the Heishuijian..." Yuan Song's voice suddenly got stuck in his throat, and something in his mind gradually became clear.

Heishuijian is located on the border of Rouran, separating the two places. Because of natural dangers, there is no need to guard it. On the end of Heishuijian near Yanbei, there is a grand canyon, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The soil is thick and the grass is good. The best place to store up your troops, Yan Xun will definitely lead his troops there to preserve his strength and plan for the future!

After all, Yanbei is Yan Xun's territory, and the Wei army has traveled long distances, so it is impossible to send troops all year round. Sooner or later, he will have a chance to stand up!

Maybe he didn't dare to go because Yu Wenyue was walking through the Heishuijian, but he suddenly heard the news of Yu Wenyue's death, which made him decide to abandon the city.

Reality in the virtual, virtual in the real, virtual in the virtual, real in the real.

After a while, Yuan Song sighed, "It's a good thing in this life, not to be an enemy of Yu Wenyue..."
