Bright moon out of Tianshan

At dusk of the second day, Dong Qi's reinforcements came through the mountains. Gao Huai finally gained confidence when he saw his soldiers and horses. After the fire in Xin'an was extinguished, he led his troops to station again.Yang Baozhen organized troops to rush to attack Yichuan and Yiyang, and Zhong Ruota was in a stalemate with Beiyan's troops on the west side of Hulao Pass.Cheng Qiufeng couldn't spare a moment to attack Xin'an, but he was very unwilling to let Beiyan's troops come over.This gave Gao Huai an opportunity. He led his soldiers to dig a large pit in the southwest corner of Xin'an, and buried [-] Zhao soldiers who died in Xin'an Town.Then, based on the formerly strong stone city wall of Xin'an Town, military equipment was re-installed.

He once again occupied Xin'an, and he could attack when he advanced, and he could defend when he retreated, so he and Yang Baozhen exchanged pigeons to send messages back and forth, intending to go directly to the city of Luoyang along the Gushui River Valley.However, Yang Baozhen sent a letter asking him to suspend the siege of the city, and send troops to cut off the enemy's food and grass rear, and disrupt the overall layout of the enemy's army, which is the top priority.

As soon as Gao Huai heard it made sense, his troops were generally less than the enemy's. Only by trying to restrain and divide the enemy's attention and combat power can he be invincible.He remembered that Beiyan's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were at the intersection of the three rivers, preventing Zhong Ruota and himself from joining forces outside Luoyang city.Thinking back and forth in my heart, Bei Yan came over to intervene, what was the reason for it?

In the past, he would have driven Xiao Jian to Beiyan's military camp to spy on him.But now that Xiao Jian is injured, Lin Zaichun will follow him to treat and prescribe medicine every day, and he takes the opportunity to act coquettishly with Lin Meiren, making a delicate appearance, but he can't send him away no matter what.Gao Huai planned to go there in person, but when Rong Qian heard the news, he rushed over and tried to stop him, saying: "The family's wealth and life are all on His Highness. If His Highness makes a mistake, even If General Yang does not kill the last general, then General Zhong will not spare me either. Your Highness must think twice before acting, think twice before acting!"

Gao Huai couldn't make the trip, so he had to find another way.

Xiao Jian had had enough lingering with Lin Zaichun this day, and coaxed him to come over with a lot of pills that are said to increase internal strength.Sitting on the stone wall in the northwest corner of Xin'an Town, looking at the clear water outside the wall, I really want to jump down to take a bath.But he was under strict supervision by Lin Zaichun and Gao Huai, and he had tried several times but failed.It seemed that no one cared at the moment, Xiao Jian hesitated for a moment, and jumped down, but halfway through the jump, he was pulled back by a rope.

Lin Zaichun was very experienced in tying people and horses with ropes, Xiao Jian thought it was him, and said angrily: "Second hall master!" But when he looked back, there was a leisurely man in white sitting on the wall, wearing a nightgown in broad daylight. Wearing casually, it was Xiao Xiong, the hall master, who had arrived.

Xiao Jian rushed over in surprise and joy, was hugged by Xiao Xiong, and said: "Why are you hoarse?"

Xiao Jian said: "A few days ago there was a big fire in Xin'an, and it was blown away by the heat, and it's still not getting better. Brother, why are you here?"

Xiao Xiong said: "I've heard about the fire in Xin'an, it's burning well! So come and have a look, hehehehe, I... I... I'm being chased by people, anyway I run wherever I go..."

Xiao Jian smiled and said: "I know, I know, you must have been hunted down by the Seventh Young Master again. You lost the fight again and burned his Xiaoxuetang, right?" Xiao Xiong said: "This time I guessed wrong. , this time it was Shi You who went to burn Xiaoxue Tang! He was bewildered by his brother's suaveness, and he was willing to take the initiative to burn it for his brother. The reward is that I will discover all the dream lovers hidden in Xiaolinzi for him! Hahahaha , and then he finished burning, and I said that I had dug it up, but there was none, which shows that Xiao Linzi has been guarding himself like a jade for a while! As a result, he became angry and chased and beat me, and I ran over." He stretched out his hand to hold He touched Xiao Jian's shoulder and asked, "Tiantian, I want to ask you, what were you planning to do by jumping off the city wall just now? Did someone bully you, and you couldn't think about it?" Xiao Jian didn't have time to answer, but listened to Lin Zai Chun's voice said not far away: "Brother, where did I get the lover of my dreams? You are too good at talking nonsense, right?" Then Gao Huai's voice said: "Hall Master, are you safe?"

When the two heard the news, they rushed over together.But just when he heard Xiao Xiong ask Xiao Jian, Gao Huai immediately understood. He glanced at Xiao Jian coldly and said, "Lord Master, my younger brother probably plans to jump into the lake to take a bath. It's a pity that his injury is not recovering. I can't control myself if I don't care about myself like this, and he never took my words and the second hall master's words to heart. It's up to the hall master to come and teach him."

Xiao Jian didn't dare to make a sound immediately, Xiao Xiong frowned, as if he was thinking deeply about how to teach him, Gao Huai waited for a while but didn't hear the result, and then asked: "How is the matter I ask you?"

Hearing his serious question, Xiao Xiong quickly put on a serious look and said: "His Royal Highness, the matter is very troublesome, how about we discuss it in detail?"

Hearing this, Gao Huai turned around and led the way.Xiao Xiong pulled Xiao Jian to follow behind, deliberately staggered some distance, pointed at Gao Huai's back and began to make irresponsible remarks: "Look, Tiantian, young and old! Isn't it just playing with water secretly? It's also worth it. To file a complaint in a serious manner? When my brother was young, he could catch turtles in the sky, but he could go fishing in the East China Sea. What has he never done? Humph, this is just a piece of cake, so you don’t need to talk to him! "

When Xiao Jian heard this, his blood boiled with excitement, and he echoed repeatedly: "That's it!"

Lin Zaichun was close, but he really couldn't listen anymore: "Brother, don't spoil him! You have to have a limit, how can there be a turtle in the sky for you?"

Xiao Jian said: "Brother is right, if there is a Milky Way in the sky, of course there are turtles."

Lin Zaichun ignored the two of them and quickened his pace to catch up with Gao Huai.Everyone stepped into the tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Xiong walked to the big sheepskin map, and said: "Your Highness, I have already received the news that Beiyan's tens of thousands of troops originally planned to go to the west to deal with your eldest brother Soldiers and horses, but your elder brother's toughness is famous all over the world! They can't afford to provoke them, and I heard that you are very popular with your father in Jinling, and you can't fight. You are a famous embroidered pillow. So I followed Zhao Guo's soldiers and horses to take advantage of you. They planned to work together to tear a hole in the water army along the Yellow River so that they could go south. However, Beiyan was stopped by the dragon cavalry army because of his lack of food and grass. Zhao Yuancai scolded Cheng Qiufeng severely when the soldiers and horses of the two countries crossed the river, which showed that he had crossed the Yellow River with his own efforts, but it was easier for outsiders. So Cheng Qiufeng Qiu Feng has a lot of taboos towards them, so he stays here."

Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Xiong with admiration: "Brother, how do you know so clearly? Did you go to find out? You are really diligent this time!"

Xiao Xiong blushed, and said: "That's...Of course. But I'm alone, I can't handle it, I kicked out Xiaosan Xiaosi and Xiao Xuefei, and used all kinds of tricks and coaxing methods. It can be regarded as my strategizing and decisive battle. There is also Shimen Master, who is very enthusiastic to help me. Of course, he probably has a love-hate relationship with me and wants to pester me. But he can only repay me after I have settled the matter. He is sincere, so he has to work hard."

He was so boastful that Lin Zaichun interrupted him with a few coughs, then nonchalantly picked up the tea on the small table beside him and continued to drink.Xiao Xiong also coughed and coughed twice, and said: "Third Highness, what are you going to do? It's not an option to delay here, your elder brother's troops have already crossed the Yellow River, and they are approaching the capital of Beiyan step by step like a broken bamboo. Now you It's been left behind."

Gao Huai pondered, he had a faint calculation in his heart, but it was very vicious.While thinking about it, Xiao Xiong continued carelessly: "Third Highness, you have really suffered a loss this time. The soldiers of Beiyan should have been dealt with by your elder brother, but they came to you by accident. It relieved the pressure on him, and you are at a loss here. He may not be able to accept your favor."

Gao Huai saw that there was no one else in the tent, so he smiled and said: "Yes, I also know myself, the ability of my embroidered pillow is far from that of my elder brother, so I was thinking, should I return these tens of thousands of soldiers Give it to him and let him continue to deal with it?"

Xiao Xiong said: "Repay? Of course it's best to repay, the key is how to repay the law?" He was busy in the world, collecting information in every direction. Although he didn't pay much attention to these marching and fighting people, he was used to doing evil in the world. Naturally able to comprehend everything, he said casually: "You can ask that big black guy Zhong Xiaota to get out of the way, let Beiyan's soldiers go east, and the First Prince's reserve army will come forward to deal with it."

As soon as Gao Huai heard it, he was in the middle of his heart, and praised: "This is a good idea, but if this is the case, maybe the father will scold me."

Xiao Xiong said: "What's the point of being scolded by my own father? It's better than losing here and letting the parents drive you into the city. If your father can think about everything, he won't condemn you very much."

Hearing this, Xiao Jian suddenly became startled. He was familiar with books on the art of war and formation since he was a child, and he understood that the reserve army that Xiao Xiong mentioned was actually soldiers and horses that transported grain and grass to Gao Hong. Gao Hong had already led the army. It is impossible to go deep into the enemy's country by looting and looting food and grass all the way, so the transportation and supply of food and grass in this country is very important.Now hearing that the two hit it off, they intentionally or unintentionally lured soldiers from Beiyan to rob Gao Hong of food.Even if the robbery fails, it will seriously affect the morale of the army.

He frowned and thought for a moment, intending to refute, but one was his elder brother and the other was his immediate superior, but he really couldn't say much about the two.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Gao Huai knew that Xiao Xiong was good at wine, so he collected all the good wine in the barracks, and set up a small banquet for him.Lin Zaichun and Xiao Jian accompanied each other. During the dinner, everyone exchanged cups and glasses. Only Xiao Jian remembered the bad idea of ​​the two in the afternoon, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart. I feel uncomfortable, so I want to go out for a walk.

Gao Huai raised his eyes to see his face, and said, "Don't run around, come back earlier." Xiao Jian went out of the tent without humming.

Xiao Xiongdao: "Xiao Tiantian seems to be angry. My little brother is not deeply involved in the world, and it is easy to be confused about some things. The Third Highness is very tolerant. The world is dangerous, and the human relationship is weak. In the future, he will suffer a few more times, and he will grow up."
