When the flower blooms, there is an oath to know

No matter how big it is, people from the rivers and lakes like me may not be able to do anything about it. "

The princess said: "I've heard about Miss Xiao's life experience. All kinds of clues show that you should be a descendant of the Blood Moon Clan. The Blood Moon Clan was wiped out by a martial arts master. The specific reason is unknown. He is a rare genius. I can send someone to assist you in the investigation of Miss Xiao's life experience. After finishing this matter, Miss Xiao can come to me again. As for the relationship between the Jianghu and the court, I will also share my thoughts. The Jianghu and the court are not completely separated. A stable environment is the basis for the existence of the Jianghu. Miss Xiao must understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth. The Jianghu does not care about the affairs of the court. If my two imperial brothers compete for the position of the East Palace, Jianghu will not care about it. But if there is an external invasion, my people in Dachu should be united and unite with the enemy Kai, no matter in the court or in the Jianghu. If Jiangshan is captured If there is an external invasion, the people of Jianghu will have no place to stand in although they are in Jianghu. Then Jianghu will no longer be Jianghu. Miss Xiao thinks?"

Xiao Hongyue pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Highness is very reasonable, I have never thought about it so deeply before. I also hope to serve His Highness, but I really want to solve the mystery of my life experience first, and this still needs to be done." It will take some time, Your Highness, please forgive me." After a pause, he continued: "Your Highness has told me so many important things. I will not hide it from His Highness. Ning'er is the only descendant of the Situ family, an aristocratic institution. Rescued her from Tianxingmen during a treasure hunt. Now she is my lover, and I will always take care of her in the future. I serve His Highness, mainly for Ning'er. I used to be alone, wandering in the rivers and lakes, so it doesn't matter But now I want to provide Ning'er with a stable and comfortable life. I want to find a good job."

The princess was a little surprised by Xiao Hongyue's straightforwardness.Although I have heard that Miss Xiao's behavior is unruly and doesn't pay attention to etiquette, but I didn't expect it to be so straightforward.Tell her the truth when you first meet her.It shows her straightforward, simple and sincere character.Although I am the same as her, I can't mention it in front of everyone, and only my confidants Xiaohong and Wushuang know about it.The princess sighed, not knowing how that person was doing now.

Seeing the princess sighing, Xiao Hongyue thought it was regrettable, and asked: "Is Your Highness dissatisfied with you?" The princess came back to her senses and said: "Oh, I just heard what Miss Xiao said, and I remembered an old friend, I'm a little sad. Miss Xiao, don't think too much. Miss Xiao has a straightforward personality, and she is a real son and daughter. Don't worry about finding your life experience, Miss Xiao, I will send someone to help you. This Jiuquan is no worse than the mainland. Life is hard and making a living is not easy. I There are some silver taels, the two girls will use them first."

With Xiao Hongyue's temperament, she would not take such a reward for no merit, but she thought that the money, water and food she brought was not much, and it was not easy to earn money in this kind of Jiuquan.She couldn't bear to let Ning'er suffer with her.He took the silver with shame.Said: "I'm really ashamed to receive rewards for nothing."

The princess smiled lightly, and said: "Miss Xiao, don't worry, you and I have met once, and we can be regarded as close friends, so let's treat it as a help between friends." After a pause, she said: "I came to Jiuquan this time, not just The two girls met. They also want to take this opportunity to solve the worries of the Qiang soldiers. The Qiang people are the weakest of the three enemies in the north of our Great Chu. If we take the opportunity to solve it, we can eliminate the threat from the northwest and deter the north and northeast The two countries on the border delay their invasion and buy time for me to develop my strength. According to reports from the spies of the Jiuquan guard, the Qiang people have been standing still after suffering a big loss. Going down to Jiuquan. I would like to sit down in person, thwart their action, and deal a heavy blow, so that they will not be able to commit another attack on Dachu for decades. Can the two girls delay the search for their background for a little while and assist me in completing this important move?" Xiao Hongyue said: "I am willing to serve Your Highness. But I have one more request." Chu Yu said: "Oh? What is it? Tell me."

Xiao Hongyue said: "Lead into the battle and fight the enemy bravely. I will go all out. As for strategizing and decisively winning thousands of miles, I still have shortcomings. Since Ning'er broke the Donghe City case last time, I know that she has the power of a military advisor." Only. Hongyue hereby implore Your Highness to let Ning'er assist me." Situ Ning looked anxious at this moment, and was about to speak.Chu Yu said: "Oh, Miss Situ is the only descendant of the Situ family of the official family. She has achieved such accomplishments at such a young age. It is really admirable. I just heard that Miss Situ solved the difficult case of Donghe City. Such is the performance of a great talent. Miss Situ is indeed a very good candidate for a military adviser, very suitable. Okay, then..." "Wait a minute!" Situ Ning said suddenly.Chu Yu looked at Situ Ning: "Miss Situ, what do you want to say?"

I saw Situ Ning said: "Although I have a little talent, it is also in mechanism skills and solving cases. Regarding marching and fighting, my grandfather taught me a lot of military skills before, but I have never had actual combat experience. As for soldiers, Matters of life and death, and important matters of the country, are of great importance. I am afraid that due to my lack of experience, I will make a big mistake on paper." Chu Yu said: "No matter what position you hold, there is always a process of growth. Miss Situ has read military books If you have shown great talent in many things, you will definitely be able to take up the important position of military adviser. I trust Miss Situ. Miss Situ is free to do it. Besides, there is no one who is more suitable to be a military adviser than Miss Situ. "Xiao Hongyue also said on the side: "Ning'er, we believe in you. You can definitely lead us to win this battle." After hearing these words, Situ Ning lowered her head slightly and remained silent for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Chu Yu Said: "Okay. I agree to serve as a military adviser, but I want everyone to cooperate closely with me in this process." Chu Yu showed his face, smiled and said: "That's easy to say." Then he ordered: "The general guard will come in." Meet the guard and walk into the tent.

Chu Yu said: "Now I appoint this girl Xiao as the general of this war, and this girl Situ as the military adviser. All soldiers must obey their orders." The guard said: "No!" Chu Yu continued: "Now Tell the general and the military advisor about the recent movements of the Qiang people." The guard said: "I obey!" Then he unfolded a map on the table, pointed to a place on the map, and said: "Your Highness, General, Military Advisor Please see, this is Liupu City of the Qiang people, which is the frontier city of the Qiang people. The Qiang people invaded from here. Recently, we have frequently detected Qiang soldiers moving in this direction." He said and moved his finger Move to another place.Both Xiao Hongyue and Situ Ning stared at the place on the battle map, frowning deeply.Then the guard said with shame: "Because the Qiang people came from Liupu City before, but this time, a large number of troops are frequently active here. My subordinates speculate that the Qiang people hoarded heavy troops here this time. It is to attack from our side and rear. The intentions of the Qiang people can only be guessed by the subordinates. The subordinates are stupid, so please ask the military division for advice."

Situ Ning thought for a moment, and asked: "Have you ever taken the initiative to attack Liupu City before?" The guard said: "Never. Before, you have been suppressed and beaten by the Qiang people." He bowed his head ashamedly .Chu Yu frowned after hearing these words.Situ Ning greeted Chu Yuying, nodded to the people around her, and said, "I dare to share my humble opinion on this battle situation." The princess smiled and said, "You are welcome, please tell me." Situ Ning said: "The first thing that can be made clear is who the Qiang people are going to deal with this time. The main area of ​​the Qiang people is here." Situ Ning drew a range on the map with her finger, and then said: "The area of ​​the Qiang people To the southeast is our Great Chu. To the east of the Qiang people is the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains live in the east and is the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom and the Qiang people are separated by the Qinling Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles. It is difficult to have a direct war. Therefore, the current main target of the Qiang people It must be my Great Chu. Intelligence can show that the Qiang people have no other enemies besides my Great Chu. Therefore, all the large-scale mobilization of troops by the Qiang people must be aimed at my Great Chu." Hearing this, Chu Yu and the surrounding People with admiration and joy on their faces.

Situ Ning blushed a little, and then said: "From the map, the place where the Qiang soldiers are hoarding is high, while Jiuquan is low. The Qiang people are taking the initiative to occupy favorable terrain and are ready to go to war. If my guess is correct, The Qiang people probably wanted to attack the defenders of Jiuquan City with front and back attacks. According to the previous report of the defenders, the Qiang people came and grabbed Jiuquan every time before, and did not occupy Jiuquan because the Qiang people had insufficient troops. This time the Qiang people sent a large number of troops to this high ground, so there must be very few troops in Liupu City. But the Qiang people have always been arrogant before, so they judged that even if we detected heavy troops leaving the city, they would not dare to take the initiative to attack Liupu Moreover, the Qiang people made such a plan. If we do not take the initiative to go out of the city to attack Liupu City, we will attack the city from the weak side and rear of the city. If we take the initiative to attack Liupu City, the heavy troops in the rear can attack from the rear Our army can also win. This is my judgment of the Qiang people's intentions."

After listening to the praise, the princess said: "Mr. Situ is really powerful. With the adviser here, this battle can be won!" A red cloud floated across Situ Ning's face, and said: "Your Highness is absurdly praised." Xiao Hongyue stood beside her and said With a proud face, he gently stroked Situ Ning's head.She still knows what her family Ning'er is capable of.

The princess liked Situ Ning even more when she saw that Situ Ning was so talented and modest.She then asked: "Since the Qiang people have this idea, what good strategy does the military commander have to defeat the enemy?" No matter which one we choose, they can win. We will follow the plan and send a large force to attack Liupu City. The Qiang soldiers on the high ground will inevitably follow our army and find a suitable place in the wild for a decisive battle. Our side mobilized some elite troops in advance, and secretly followed the Qiang soldiers on the highlands all the way. After the main force led the Qiang soldiers into the Ximo Gorge here, we could attack back and forth and wipe out this group of Qiang soldiers in one fell swoop. The Qiang soldiers in Liupu City saw this situation , there will be two choices, one is to be enraged, go out of the city and fight with me, this situation is the best, you can take advantage of the victory and continue to annihilate the enemy in the city; the other is to hide in the city and not fight behind closed doors. In this way, we will also withdraw our troops Go back to the city. If this battle is achieved, the Qiang soldiers will be severely injured, and will be unable to attack our Great Chu again in the short term."

Chu Yu said: "This plan is very good! Let's act according to this plan." Situ Ning said to the guard: "Go back to the camp quickly and dispatch [-] elites, and hand them over to General Xiao to lead; When the soldiers came to look for a battle, they fought for a while after meeting the enemy, and then pretended to retreat, leading the Qiang soldiers into the Ximo Gorge." The guard said: "The last general takes orders!" A big battle was quietly unfolding.

The author has something to say:

☆, Battle of Ximo Gorge

Five days later, the guards left the city with [-] soldiers and horses, making great fanfare along the way, as if they were going to attack Liupu City.Xiao Hongyue set off from another path with three thousand fine riders.Chu Yu sits in the city.Situ Ning followed Xiao Hongyue.Since Xiao Hongyue's three thousand cavalry is the key to a surprise victory, Situ Ning must follow the command of the army to adjust the combat plan at any time in case the enemy's situation changes.Since Xiao Hongyue's surprise operation needed to be very secretive, it was inconvenient to bring luggage, so she didn't bring a carriage.And Situ Ning doesn't know how to ride a horse, so she can only sit on Xiao Hongyue's horse.People who are new to horseback riding are very unaccustomed to the bumps on the horse's back.In order to make Situ Ning sit more comfortably, Xiao Hongyue specially laid a soft cushion on the horse.In this way, Xiao Hongyue guarded Situ in front of the horse, and led three thousand elite soldiers to gallop quietly towards the predetermined location.

Half a day later, Xiao Hongyue arrived at the predetermined location and lay in ambush.But the speed of the main force of the Chu army was far less than that of Xiao Hongyue's Jingqi.After Xiao Hongyue arrived at the position, it took two more incense sticks before the main force arrived at the predetermined position.The Qiang soldiers on the high ground quickly detected the dispatch of the main force of the Chu army, and after the scouts reported back and confirmed that it was correct, the leading general was overjoyed, thinking that this time he must avenge the last time.So he sent people to inform Liupu City, and at the same time ordered the whole army to attack, and then attacked the main force of the Chu army.If he succeeds this time, his credit will be great.General Qiang seemed to have seen his promotion, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The cavalry of the Qiang army arrived first and attacked the formation of the Chu army.Close combat by infantry followed.The tail of the Chu army was bitten by the Qiang army.After several fights, the Chu army pretended to be invincible and retreated.Retreat in the direction of Ximo Gorge.The Qiang army was about to pursue them.The deputy general said to the general: "Wait a minute, general. The Chu army is suspicious this time. The terrain in front of the canyon is dangerous. If there is an ambush and attack from behind, our army will be very dangerous." Style." If you can eliminate the main force of the Chu people, it will be a great achievement, how could the master give up this opportunity.Even if it is an adventure, he has to fight.

And the deputy general has seen some clues and is very disturbed.In a hurry, he said: "General, my subordinates have a suggestion. You can enter the valley to attack the enemy and prevent flanking attacks from behind. The subordinates will lead [-] infantry to ambush the rear of the palace at the entrance of the valley. Even if the Chu people are flanked by surprise soldiers, our side will You can also counterattack from behind them." The Qiang army leader squinted at the lieutenant general.The lieutenant general's proposal is undoubtedly good, but the chief general has already begun to guard against him. If he is asked to make great contributions over and over again, his position as the chief general will be lost.However, this time, he still felt that it would be better to follow the subplan's strategy.Therefore, the general of the Qiang army reluctantly agreed to the proposal of the deputy general.Before the deputy general divided the troops, the chief general said to him sternly: "Remember, if there is any sneak attack by the Chu army, I will stop them all and don't let anyone enter the valley! Otherwise, I will ask you!" The deputy general agreed obediently. , Divide up and leave.Thinking about his future career promotion, the general was so passionate that he shouted: "The whole army assaults and destroys the Chu army!" Then he entered the canyon.

The guard who led the main force of the Chu army in Jiuquan saw that the Qiang army had entered the canyon, so he ordered to stop retreating. The tails of the troops bitten by the Qiang army were maimed and their formation was disrupted.This part of the Chu army dispersed to both sides according to the previous training, and then moved to the front of the team.The formation that had been laid out long ago was exposed at the back. The formation was strict and there were many spears. This was a heavy infantry formation with spears.This kind of heavy infantry is designed to defeat cavalry.The entire array is divided into four layers, with spearmen at the front, which are used to deal head-on blows to the cavalry.Immediately behind were the big sword soldiers, all of them were not tall, but strong and strong, wearing heavy armor.Specially lay down on the ground, rolling back and forth on the ground to chop off the horse's legs.The next layer is ordinary sword soldiers, who are good at close combat and flexible.And finally the archers.This formation is a tactic that Situ Ning specially researched to deal with the Qiang people in the past few days after investigating the tactics of the Qiang people.Although it only took a few days of practice, it was barely enough to deal with the Qiang soldiers when the number was superior.What's more, this battle didn't depend entirely on these main forces. There was a red-clothed devil hidden behind him, ready to come out at any time to stab the Qiang soldiers with a fatal sword.

The main force of the Qiang army has come into contact with the main force of the Chu army, and the two sides are fighting hard.The cavalry of the Qiang soldiers were stabbed down by the pikemen in front of the formation.But behind, more cavalry stepped on the corpses of the people in front and rushed into the formation of swordsmen behind.Then there was another bloody fight.The archers on both sides desperately shot arrows behind the opponent's formation.Arrows rained in the air.The battle on both sides was indistinguishable. Suddenly, the Qiang soldiers heard the vibrations coming from the ground behind them. Looking back, they saw billowing smoke and dust. The devil in red in front of me!

The Qiang soldiers were flanked, and some of the Qiang soldiers knew the red-clothed devil, and they talked nonsense, and the army was in a panic.As soon as Xiao Hongyue's three thousand elite cavalry met the enemy, they immediately tossed and charged in the crowd. The Qiang army was in chaos, and countless casualties occurred in a short while.Xiao Hongyue dispatched 200 people to protect Situ Ning, and these 200 people followed her closely to protect Situ Ning.And she charged ahead.

Xiao Hongyue is working hard to kill.Suddenly, a rumbling sound was heard from behind.Then someone came to report: "General, military advisor, it's not good. Elite Qiang cavalry appeared in the rear, and we were attacked." Xiao Hongyue was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Ning'er, what should we do now?" Situ Ning frowned. , said: "Unexpectedly, the Qiang people also played the trick of praying mantis catching cicadas with the oriole behind. I miscalculated on this point." She looked back and said: "Now our army has reached the enemy with its back. The Qiang people will definitely not easily give us time to adjust the formation. The main force of the Qiang soldiers in the front is also adjusting the formation. Except for a group of dead archers, the rest are scattered. The Qiang army infantry in the front is Reversed formation, it is expected that they will charge towards us soon. The current situation is very critical."

She pondered for a moment, then immediately said: "The cavalry is not as dependent on the formation as the infantry. Although our side is attacked from the back, the cavalry can quickly turn around and attack. The trouble is the Qiang army infantry who is about to adjust their formation. Our three thousand cavalry You must not fight on both sides. As long as you don't contact the enemies on both sides at the same time, it is not certain who will win. Sister Yue, you quickly order the whole army to stop advancing, turn around and attack backwards with all your strength. Be sure to smash through the Qiang army's ambush cavalry Go behind them. Make sure not to let the Qiang army infantry catch up." Xiao Hongyue said: "Okay!" Then he said to a junior officer: "Give the order, the whole army stops advancing immediately, turn around and attack the enemy cavalry behind with all its strength. Be sure to charge Go behind the enemy." The officer said: "No!" Then he went to pass the order.

I saw that the Chu army's sneak attacking cavalry was in a mess at first after being attacked from the belly and back.Then gradually turned around.Strive to attack the enemy formation.The Chu cavalry rushed back desperately.Seeing this situation, the lieutenant general who led the Qiang cavalry immediately understood the intention of the Chu army, and shouted: "Defend to the formation, don't let them pass!" I saw that the Qiang cavalry immediately changed from a loose formation to a dense formation, one next to the other.The Chu army attacking in front was blocked for a while, unable to advance.And the infantry of the Qiang army was getting closer and closer.Seeing that the situation was in a hurry, Xiao Hongyue said to the 200 people: "Protect the military adviser!" She immediately stepped forward and said: "The people in front get out of the way." The Chu troops who were attacking in front gave way to both sides.

Xiao Hongyue rode her horse and charged wildly. When she was about to approach the dense enemy formation, she put away the Ningyue Sword and soared into the sky from the horseback. go.Some hidden weapons exploded as soon as they touched the enemy, releasing more and smaller hidden weapons, and a large Qiang army was shrouded in the rain of hidden weapons.These hidden weapons for marching and combat were all poisoned when they were made.Even if the enemy army cannot be killed immediately, it can make the enemy army lose its combat effectiveness in a short time.The cavalry did not wear shields, and their weapons pointed upwards.It was unexpected for them to be attacked by Xiao Hongyue suddenly.The Qiang soldiers who were hit by large hidden weapons immediately fell to the ground and died, while those who were hit by smaller hidden weapons dropped their weapons, clutching their wounds and howling in pain.Some fell off their horses.

After Xiao Hongyue hit the hidden weapon on her body in the air, she immediately pulled out the Ningyue sword, and by the momentum of the fall, slashed at a wounded Qiang soldier who was struggling on the horse.The extremely sharp Ningyue Sword easily cut the Qiang soldier in half from the top of his head to his abdomen.The surrounding Qiang soldiers were horrified when they saw this.Xiao Hongyue stood on the horse, jumped up again, and continued to kill.Seeing the battle from behind, Situ Ning immediately ordered: "General Xiao has opened the way in front, you all continue to charge forward." The charge that had just been suspended continued.After Xiao Hongyue broke through the front dense formation of the Qiang army, the Chu army rushed in.The Qiang army behind did not have time to organize a dense formation to stop the Chu army again.In this way, the Chu army rushed all the way to the rear of the Qiang army.Situ Ning ordered again: "The whole army continues to move ten feet forward." After being in place, Situ Ning then ordered: "The whole army turns around and rearranges." The Chu army reorganized a charge with the remaining cavalry of less than 2000 formation.Situ Ning ordered again: "The whole army assaults and defeats the Qiang army!" Now everyone in the Chu army admires their generals and military advisers.Not chaotic in times of crisis, order decisively.He led them out of the crisis just now, and now they are reorganizing their attack formation.

Although everyone in the Chu army was exhausted, they were encouraged to see that they had escaped the crisis.Hear the order from the military division.Someone in the Chu army shouted: "Our generals and military advisers are good. The sons and daughters of Da Chu are good. I will attack all the good sons of Da Chu and kill all those who invade our Da Chu and ravage our relatives." The Qiang people! Long live the Great Chu!" Hearing one person shout, immediately there were more shouts in the army: "Long live the Great Chu! Long live the Great Chu!" The morale of the Chu army was high, and everyone was like a tiger descending the mountain. The cavalry rushed.

The Qiang army originally had 5000 cavalry, but after losing a group, there are still more than 3000 cavalry at this time, which is nearly twice that of the Chu army's cavalry.However, he was pierced by the Chu army's assault just now, and was dazed by Xiao Hongyue's hidden weapon rain.At this moment, I saw the Chu army rushing over like a tiger on the mountain.Qiang Jun felt his hands and feet go weak.The situation that followed was one-sided.

At this moment, the Qiang army deep in the canyon ahead separated a large number of infantry to chase the Chu army cavalry. At this moment, they were thrown off by Xiao Hongyue, so they had to turn back and continue to face the main force of the Chu army.After going back and forth, I was very tired and my morale was low.And most of the archers behind the Qiang army's formation were wiped out by Xiao Hongyue's first attack.On the other hand, the offensive of the Chu army's archers remained undiminished, and the Qiang army was very passively suppressed by these archers at this moment.The situation is gradually developing in a direction that is not conducive to the Qiang army.

The Qiang army in front died more and more.Gradually, as the battle progressed, an atmosphere of panic began to spread among the Qiang army.Although now facing the long-range suppression of the Chu army, the general of the Qiang army still hopes to fight the Chu army for infantry.Because in normal times, the infantry of the Chu army was always suppressed and beaten by the Qiang army.

After the cavalry of the Qiang army was defeated, the deputy general fled to the general in embarrassment and said, "General, the cavalry detachment was defeated, and a troop of cavalry from the Chu army came from behind. Let's retreat. If we don't retreat, we will die here." The general said gloomyly. Face asked the lieutenant general: "How did you let people in? How many people came from behind?" The lieutenant general said tremblingly: "About 3000 people came, and our army wiped out more than 1000 people. Now there are less than 2000 people left." The lieutenant still did not forget to air his "record" at this moment.The chief general sneered: "Your 5000 cavalry can't defeat the 3000 Chu army, and you still have the face to come back? Waste!" The lieutenant lowered his head in shame, and whispered: "Our tactics are completely correct, but you don't know, general, The woman in red at the head of the cavalry of the Chu Army is simply a devil, she is not human!" The chief general roared, "Don't make excuses, trash!" The deputy general was so scolded that he dared not raise his head.The general looked at the situation ahead, gritted his teeth and said, "Order, the whole army retreats! I will definitely avenge today's revenge."

Follow the general's order to withdraw troops.The Qiang army's morale was in turmoil.They felt that the Chu Army, which was beaten by them all the time, was so strong today and so difficult to defeat.This psychological gap makes them very unwilling.

However, the resentment accumulated in the hearts of the Chu army for many years was vented, and a super fighting power broke out in a short time.The organization of the Qiang army who was killed could not afford an effective retreat formation.The covering detachment was cut down with furious speed.However, the unit that should be covered in the back was not covered, and became even more flustered.After a while, the retreat of the Qiang army turned into a big collapse.The Chu army tossed and hacked among the Qiang army.Ximo Gorge has become a hell on earth.

In this battle, only more than 500 of the 1000 highland Qiang army escaped, and the rest were all wiped out.If it weren't for the cavalry led by Xiao Hongyue, there were only more than [-] cavalry left at that time, and none of the Qiang troops would be allowed to escape.Many soldiers of the Chu army were cut to the point that they couldn't lift their arms, and their knives cut to the mouth.Blood flowed into rivers throughout the canyon, and the plants were stained red.During the period, the Qiang people received a report from spies in the city, saying that the battle was critical, but no one dared to come out to rescue them, because they were afraid that the Chu army would play tricks to divert the tiger away from the mountain.This is the backwardness of intelligence work.The Qiang people did not send anyone to inquire. Has there been any reinforcements from Jiuquan City recently?How many are here?In the battle of Ximo Gorge, Jiuquan dispatched so many troops, it is impossible for there to be many defenders in the city.It is also impossible to divide the troops to surprise Liupu City.In this battle, the Qiang people did not do a good job of intelligence at all.After the fight, the action judgments of the various ministries completely lost the intelligence basis.Therefore, it is impossible to win often without a strategy and relying on momentary courage.

In this battle, the Chu army won a big victory, sweeping away the situation of being suppressed and beaten by the Qiang people for many years.Its fighting situation was unprecedentedly tragic.There is little rain in the northwest.Some stones and soil in Ximo Gorge are still dark red after many years.

Tonight, everyone in Jiuquan City was excited and encouraged, and Chu Yu hosted a banquet to reward the soldiers who participated in the battle.The people in the whole city also eat pots of pulp.At the celebration banquet, Chu Yu raised his wine glass and said: "Today is a memorable day. Today is a day worthy of being recorded in history. Today we defeated the Qiang people in this land and lifted the Great Chu in the northwest for many years. In the next few years, the Qiang people will not be able to attack the Great Chu again. And it is our soldiers who have created this brilliant record. Let us toast all the soldiers.” The people present cheered, and then raised their hands Drink by the glass.

Xiao Hong filled Chu Yu with wine, Chu Yu continued to raise his glass, and said, "Our General Xiao and Situ Junshi have made great contributions to this battle. If they hadn't had their strategies and bravery to fight, I'm afraid Jiuquan City would have been defeated in this battle." Throw it away. Countless Jiuquan soldiers and civilians will be ravaged by the Qiang people. They led us to victory. Let us toast them!" The soldiers cheered and drank again.

The crowd drank until late at night before dispersing.Xiao Hongyue was so drunk that Situ Ning couldn't drink and only drank some mare's milk. After the celebration banquet, Situ Ning took Xiao Hongyue back to the inn to rest.Chu Yu also drank a lot of wine, and went back to the big tent with the help of Wushuang and Xiaohong.

Xiao Hongyue slept soundly and soundly that night, she hasn't had such a solid sleep for a long time.And Situ Ning was sleeping soundly beside her.

On the second day, Chu Yu brought Wushuang and Xiaohong to the inn.In the room where Xiao Hongyue and the others lived, Chu Yu said: "Are the two girls going to find Miss Xiao's life experience today?" Service." The princess said: "I will leave today, I don't know when we will meet again. I hope you can solve the mystery of your life experience and return soon." Xiao Hongyue said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."

Several people were silent for a while, Xiao Hongyue said: "It's not too late, we will set off in a while, take care, Your Highness!" As he said that, he bowed and Situ Ning followed suit.Chu Yu stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said, "You two girls, don't be so polite, let's go." They parted ways in Jiuquan City.The three of Xiao Hongyue headed northwest.Chu Yu returned to Chang'an with his confidant Xiaohong and his bodyguard Wushuang.

The author has something to say:

☆, the hometown of the Blood Moon Clan

The mountains in the northwest stretch for thousands of miles and are endless.In this lofty mountain, there are two people on their way.Xiao Hongyue and Situ Ning have been driving for more than a month.The dense trees in the mountain are in stark contrast to the desolation outside the mountain. It is no wonder that the Blood Moon Clan chose this place as their residence.The path between the trees is now overgrown with weeds, and it is conceivable that no one has walked around for many years.The three of them walked through a forest, and a valley appeared in front of them.I saw abandoned houses dotted in the valley, and this place should be the old place of the Blood Moon Clan.The weeds protruding from the house swayed in the wind, as if they wanted to tell people the tragic experience of the Blood Moon Clan.Xiao Hongyue watched all this for a long time, her eyes gradually turned red.Situ Ning comforted her from the side, and then said: "Let's find what Aunt Xiao Rou hid first." Only then did Xiao Hongyue come back to her senses.

The two searched all the way according to the map. There were many bones on the road, and the clothes were covered with ashes.Many bones still maintained the posture of crawling forward.Abandoned things are everywhere.Pots and pans, baskets, hoes. More than 20 years have passed, and no one has come to clean it up.Seeing this, Xiao Hongyue's eyes turned red again.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the martial arts master back then was extremely ruthless.But Xiao Hongyue found something strange.Xiao Hongyue found some hidden weapons among some bones, which were exactly the same as the marks of Shenjimen.Obviously, these people were killed by this hidden weapon.Xiao Hongyue was puzzled, could it be that the martial arts master also knew the martial arts of Shenjimen, or there was Shenjimen involved in this matter.Xiao Hongyue picked up a hidden weapon, exchanged a glance with Situ Ning, then wiped the hidden weapon clean, wrapped it in a cloth, and put it away.The two continued to walk forward, and a tall house ruins appeared in front of them, which was larger than the surrounding ones, almost the largest of the ruins in this area.That should be the chief's house.The location marked on the map points to the back of the big house.The two found a place behind the house, dug down, and dug half a person's depth, and they dug out something.

It was a package wrapped in layers of cloth. More than 20 years have passed, and the outer cloth has long since rotted, leaving only a layer of plaster.After removing the plaster on the outside, there is a little bit of cloth inside, and it can be vaguely seen that it is a very precious cloth.It should be the same kind of cloth as the one found at Aunt Xiaorou's house.I think only the upper class can use it.The layers of cloth were removed, and when I opened it, there was only a piece of yellowed paper inside, with some words written crookedly on it.This should have been written hastily by Aunt Xiaorou in a crisis.Xiao Hongyue flattened the paper, lit a torch, and carefully studied the words on it.

I saw it said: "Young master, I hope you can see what is written on this piece of paper one day. In the third year of Dachu Xinhe, the martial arts master Hu Batian invaded the territory of our Blood Moon Clan and challenged the leader, asking him to surrender. Bloody Moon Clan's most precious Blood Red Crescent. The leader refused to follow, so he led the whole clan to fight against Hu Batian. Lost, and was destroyed. I was in the chaos, and I was ordered to rescue the little princess who had just turned three years old. The leader of the generals The blood red crescent, the most precious treasure handed down by the inner ancestors, was placed on the little princess. Only the little princess and I escaped from the whole family."

The two were silent for a long time after reading this.Xiao Hongyue said slowly: "So that person is called Hu Batian." She looked into the distance, was silent for a while, and then said: "One day, I will make him pay with blood." Situ Ning clenched her hands tightly and pulled Holding Xiao Hongyue's hand.

The two lived in the ruins of the tall house that night.Before going back, it took another two days to clean the old place of the Blood Moon Clan.Collect the bones and bury them one by one.I also collected the scattered items that could be collected and put them in the ruins of the tall house.Before leaving, Xiao Hongyue bowed deeply to the entire Blood Moon Clan ruins.Her eyes were foggy and her brows were deeply furrowed.Then stand up slowly, turn around quickly, and walk forward.Situ Ning followed her closely.

On the way back, Xiao Hongyue said to Situ Ning: "Ning'er, you have been silently supporting me by my side. Tell me, if I go to take revenge on Hu Batian now, will I succeed?" Situ Ning was silent for a while, Said: "Sister Yue, if you want to do this, I will definitely support you with all my strength. But I also want to share my opinion. First of all, the world is so big and there are so many people, how are you going to find that Hu Batian? Besides Back then, he was able to destroy the entire Blood Moon Clan by himself, and after more than 20 years, his martial arts will definitely improve, even if you find him today, can you be sure to defeat him?" Xiao Hongyue stopped, bowed her head and remained silent.Situ Ning also stopped, stood in front of her, hugged her waist, looked up at her with concern.

After a pause, Situ Ning buried her head in Xiao Hongyue's chest, and said slowly: "There was a battle in the mountains and forests that day. From what the old man said, he must be Hu Batian. If you didn't break through at a critical moment that day Xinghua is at the fourth level of true qi, you and I are afraid that we will be killed by him. If we fight again, can you win him? This is not to mention the power he has managed for decades. I know that we have Xinghua's true energy. Qi and Congealing Moon Sword. You also have the special physique of the Blood Moon Clan.
