end of days

In the middle of the night, in front of the tent of the Chinese army, one could faintly see a lamp like a bean in the inner room.

Zhuo Ran was standing in front of the couch in draped clothes, his eyes were filled with misty eyes, Xuanyuanhen's injury made him uneasy, he tossed and turned and finally couldn't help getting up, the tent was empty, and he was a little dazed.

Xuanyuanhen's injury undoubtedly overturned many things he insisted on - doubts, guesses, evasion, confusion... Thinking of this, Zhuo Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly, and finally stepped into the restricted area that he had always avoided.

There is no way to continue to deceive himself with the king's fickleness. Although Xuanyuanhen has done many wrong things in the past, he is undoubtedly an infatuated person. Once he recognizes it, he will put his heart into it.

But Zhuo Ran is still hesitant...not to avoid the emperor's feelings, but...the deep palace is full of oppression and silence that makes people unable to breathe, even if he was accompanied by the lively Ziyin in the Quehua Palace in the past, That kind of coldness still makes people daunting, not to mention, Zhuo Ran is so longing for freedom.

Clenching his fists irritably, Zhuo Ran's brows were deeply furrowed, and he didn't know how long it had passed until the cold dew at night made his hands and feet so cold that he lost consciousness.

That's all... If you can't figure it out, don't think about it any more, let things take their course.

With a long sigh of relief, Zhuo Ran suppressed all the previous distracting thoughts, but other worries arose in his heart. Xuanyuanhen's injury could not be hidden from the battalion of soldiers, so how should he explain it to them in order to revive the morale to the greatest extent? Woolen cloth.

Time is running out. If we wait for the heavy snow to seal the mountain, we will have to wait until the next year to fight again. In a few months, the situation of Xidi is still unknown. It is not realistic for the army to spend the winter here. How do people survive the long winter in the Northwest Territory.

After much deliberation, we can only make a quick decision.

Zhuo Ran doesn't know much about the dark ways of officialdom, and he often acts with passion. How to say some scene words to boost morale is really a problem for him. After thinking for a long time, he still can't do anything, until the sky in the distance gradually turns white , he was shocked to realize that the night was over before he knew it.

After a short rest, the sky was already bright, and there were gradually voices outside.

"Feiqing, have you got up yet?" After washing and washing, Pei Di's hearty laughter came from outside the tent.

Receiving Zhuo Ran's response, Pei Di rushed in with one step, with a bright smile, one could see through his inner joy at a glance, almost the same as ten years ago.

Zhuo Ran was a little surprised by the old friend who had passed away but still looked like a teenager, but he took it for granted. Feng Lingyue obviously protected Pei Di very well. A prisoner of war did not take on a different color at all, and time seemed to stand still on him.

Of course, Zhuo Ran didn't think that the relationship between Pei Di and Feng Lingyue was smooth sailing. Feng Lingyue was not a warm person. Presumably Pei Di suffered a lot during his captivity to Xidi. Ten years later, he is still so clueless...

"Feiqing?" Zhuo Ran's out of his mind made Pei Di a little puzzled.

"Ah? It's okay... Where's General Feng?" Zhuo Ran was somewhat surprised to see that Feng Lingyue wasn't by Pei Di's side.

"Ah Yue is in the school grounds, and Mr. Murong is helping to study the formation. I'll come to you for breakfast." Feng Lingyue admired the long dragon formation that Xuanyuanhen had imagined earlier. They are all good at this method, so naturally they are not to be outdone. want to improve further.

Hearing this, Zhuoran couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect Murong Lan to stay here, which would be a great help to them.

"That... Feiqing..." Pei Di suddenly hesitated.

"What's the matter?" Looking at the childish Pei Di amusedly, every time he showed such a look, he must have something to ask for.

"Can you let Ah Yue participate in the war..." Pei Di felt a little guilty. Although he was simple, he was not stupid, but he still understood some truths. Feng Lingyue was from Xidi. Although he had already betrayed the imperial court, he was rarely trusted. However, Pei Di secretly hoped that Feng Lingyue could gallop on the battlefield again.

"No!" Zhuo Ran was so decisive that Pei Di was stunned.

"Feiqing..." Perhaps the rejection in Zhuo Ran's eyes was too obvious, but Pei Di felt that he had nothing to say.

"Alas—" Seeing Pei Di's pitiful look, Zhuo Ran couldn't help but sigh, "You are traitors in the eyes of Xidi people, and Tuoba Hongxi regards General Feng as a thorn in his side, so let him go to the battlefield at this time, do you know what it means? ?”

Seeing Pei Di shaking his head blankly, Zhuo Ran sighed again, as expected, he still looked like a child who didn't grow up...

"It's a provocation against Tuoba Hongxi, do you understand... As long as General Feng shows up, even if Xidi is defeated, Tuoba Hongxi will definitely focus on getting rid of him to maintain the majesty of the emperor. This kind of behavior will push General Feng to the forefront. Troubles will come one after another!" Zhuo Ran said very seriously, and immediately frightened Pei Di, seeing Pei Di hastily nodded in agreement, Zhuo Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the name of Feng Lingyue God of War, why would he not want his help, but it is obviously inappropriate to do so now, Feng Lingyue is indeed a talent, but no matter what, he has to wait until the end of the war and the army returns to Beijing before he can reuse it .

However, Zhuo Ran was extremely happy that Feng Lingyue was so active in helping the military. After all, he was a general who was used to military affairs, and his suggestions were often more convincing than his own.

"Let's go, let's go to the school grounds too."

Smiling, Zhuo Ran walked out of the big tent, and could faintly hear the sound of killing not far away.

When they arrived at the school grounds, they found that everyone was there, Feng Lingyue and Murong Lan were both holding carbon sticks, writing and drawing on the sand table, and the people around them were listening very seriously, but they didn't notice Zhuo Ran.

Zhuo Ran didn't make a sound, stood aside and listened for a while, and immediately admired the two of them. They are worthy of being good generals who have fought on the battlefield for a long time. Feng Lingyue has a thorough understanding of the weaknesses of Xidi's army.

Xidi favors martial arts, and the selection of generals is based on martial arts strength first, so most of the generals who lead the army are not good at strategy. In the past, there was a prince with a foreign surname who was capable of cultural relics. This weakness was not obvious, but now... Xidi is definitely called There are soldiers but no generals. Although Luo Ming and Tuoba Hongxi are not bad in mind, the bad thing is that these two have not had much military contact, so there is nothing to be afraid of. , the advantage is on his side.

And Murong Lan's improvements to the long dragon array are to enhance its defensive function, but it does not damage its offensive advantage.

Now, the biggest variable is the fighting spirit. As long as the morale is high, there is nothing to worry about.

After the two finished speaking, the crowd realized that Zhuo Ran and Pei Di had arrived, and Zhuo Ran couldn't help but smile over their apologies.

"I'm ashamed to say that I thought about it for a long time last night, but I still can't figure out how to improve morale. I wonder if you have a good plan?" Without further ado, Zhuo Ran straight to the point and said what he was worried about.

"..." Everyone was speechless for a while, of course they knew how big a blow it would be to the army to lose the emperor.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Lingyue clapped his hands suddenly and said, "It's nothing difficult! You know, soldiers are also people, and what people want is nothing more than a good world and a good king. Nothing else, as long as His Majesty is seriously injured, it is enough to say that Tuoba Hongxi, whom he led his own soldiers to chase away, was injured and moved to Shuoshui Town for recuperation!"

When Zhuo Ran heard the words, he suddenly realized that if Xuanyuanhen was injured for the sake of the people of this world, the meaning would be like a booster to those ordinary soldiers. One word awakens the dreamer!
