Weicheng snow

Yi Qingchen walked to the main tent, but was stopped by the guards guarding the gate, Yi Qingchen explained the reason, but the guards refused to let him go, just said, "The commander-in-chief is discussing important matters with the deputy commander-in-chief, don't bother."

Yi Qingchen was helpless, and was about to turn around to leave, but someone slammed the curtain from inside, and then saw a tall, burly man in silver armor rushing out angrily, walking side by side. The account reconciliation said humanely, "Impossible!"

Mr. Dugu opened the curtain with a folding fan, followed leisurely, and said with a light smile, "If you don't give it a try, the commander-in-chief, how will you know if it will work?" Yu Mu took over the horse from his subordinates, got on the horse, and flatly refused. "No, no, no, this commander will never allow you to do such a thing."

"Sacrifices are inevitable in war..." Mr. Dugu shook the folding fan in his hand, and said unhurriedly, "I think the commander-in-chief also knows that the method below is indeed a good way to alleviate the current embarrassing situation, otherwise delay time Over time, there will only be more casualties."

Yu Mu waved his horsewhip, "There must be another way! Let Commander-in-Chief think about it!"

The horse flew up into the air and galloped away, leaving dust flying all the way, Yi Qingchen covered his mouth and waved, Mr. Dugu handed the folding fan to Yi Qingchen and shook it, and said with a light smile, "Mr. Are you free?"

Yi Qingchen explained, "I just wanted to hear about the marching plan and see if there is anything I can do to help, but right now, sir, you and the coach seem to be... not quite right?"

Mr. Dugu shook his head, "It's not right, just come in with me." Leading Yi Qingchen into the main tent, the guards put down the curtain, and the room was isolated from the world.

In the center of the main tent was a table piled with sand trays, on which were filled with red sticks for marking. Mr. Dugu walked around the sand tray, found a chair and sat down, and said to Yi Qingchen, "My lord, you can do whatever you want." .”

Yi Qingchen still knew how to measure, so he just took a seat next to him, and then asked Mr. Dugu, "Sir, why did you have the dispute?"

Mr. Dugu chuckled lightly, and said indifferently, "Now if I want to continue southward, I will pass through the valley on the west side of the city. That place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The remnants of the Marrow Sect are in ambush here. If we rashly attack , will inevitably suffer heavy losses.”

Yi Qingchen nodded, agreeing with Mr. Dugu's statement, and the latter said, "Recently, I have learned a piece of news... that is, the remnants of the Marrow Sect will sneak into the city at night, and come back again at dawn." Back out, as if looking for something..." After finishing speaking, he stared at Yi Qingchen with special eyes, and Yi Qingchen smiled awkwardly, "Sir, don't look at me like that... ..”

Mr. Dugu really stopped looking at Yi Qingchen, and continued, "So I guess they must have left something important in the city during their hasty retreat. If we pretend to relax the city's defenses at this time, we can invite you into the urn. It's just the commander. I feel that this may harm the residents of Yaozhou, so I refuse to agree."

Yi Qingchen thought about it, "If it's you, sir, you should have a way to ensure the safety of the residents in the city, right?"

Mr. Dugu closed the folding fan, leaned against the mask and said, "No. Even if I am here, you must not use magic tricks on people, let alone such a large-scale magic technique... Otherwise, there will be no battle in this battle." It's possible..."

In an instant, Yi Qingchen read the word "dangerous" from Mr. Dugu's eyes, and trembled unconsciously, but still subconsciously asked, "Then why did you help, sir, when you were in the Skillful Hand Pavilion earlier?"

Mr. Dugu narrowed his eyes, and said with a light smile, "If the target of the spell is the god of dislike and joy and ordinary people whose souls have been divided into half, it doesn't matter if you use it. After all, she entrusted me to take care of it..."

Yi Qingchen thought for a while in doubt, and then realized that the "she" in Mr. Dugu's mouth should be referring to the truth. Recalling all the previous dreams, Yi Qingchen said sincerely, "I owe her a great favor."

Mr. Dugu didn't say much about this, but continued to talk about the arrangements for the war.

According to the current progress, Yu Mu has been reluctant to send troops to break through the blockade outside the city. He will only allow the main force of the Food Marrow Sect to retreat further and further, and finally retreat to a situation where the south marching army cannot catch up, so the plan was changed to go directly to Southern Xinjiang wiped out the Marrow Sect.

It is extremely risky to encircle and suppress the Food Marrow Sect in southern Xinjiang, but it is a situation that has to be faced at the moment.

Yi Qingchen also understood why Mr. Dugu was still so leisurely, because no matter how anxious he was, he would never be able to catch up. If he hadn't thought about how to deal with the situation in Yaozhou well.

"Speaking of which, you must have been to the old lair of the Essence Sorcerer Sect? What is it called... Juexian Valley?" Mr. Dugu tapped his head with a folding fan and recalled, "There are three palaces and six halls inside. ?”

Yi Qingchen nodded and said, "Juexianyao Qin Valley, together with Mieyin Valley and Kongzu Valley, is known as the three rare valleys in southern Xinjiang. The miasma inside is very heavy. Ten years ago, we went deep into it with the medicine of the medicine sect , Indeed, I have seen a lot of stone halls... But I went straight to the Shark Pearl at that time, and I have never been inside those buildings, so I don't know what is going on inside."

Mr. Dugu knocked on the folding fan knowingly, "In this case, we can only adapt to the situation when the time comes."

Yi Qingchen nodded, put this matter behind for the time being, and continued to inquire about how to deal with the remnants of the Food Marrow Sect outside the city, "Sir, how are you going to persuade Yu Shuai?"

Mr. Dugu smiled softly, "I'm not going to persuade him, let's see what he will say when he comes back from the drive, if you are curious, you can wait with him." Yi Qingchen secretly blamed himself for meddling, but couldn't hold back Curiosity, I want to hear about the plan. After all, the more I know, the greater the possibility of adapting to changes.

He is most afraid of the feeling that everything is kept in the dark.

While waiting, Yi Qingchen looked at the sand table on the table, which recorded the battle where Yu Mu led the army to capture Yaozhou.Because the Southward Marching Army was still on the way when the battle started, I was not able to witness the battle with my own eyes, but during this period of time, everyone around me seemed to be discussing this matter, and Yi Qingchen listened a lot , Gradually, I understood what was going on.

At first, the Marrow Food Sect occupied the entire Yaozhou, arresting the residents of the city wantonly to expand the army of corpses.

The city wall of Yaozhou is very high, and the Food Marrow Sect has escaped into it, and the defense is impenetrable.

Yu Mu is young and vigorous, known for his bravery and compassion for the people in the army. In order to forcefully break through the defense of Yaozhou, the lieutenant general who fought with him in all directions asked him to bring fire, medicine, and forcibly blast the city gate. Yu Mu made an appointment with him to live When he came back, the gate of the city exploded, and the corpse man came fiercely. The deputy general was not able to rush out of the sea of ​​corpses in time, and was torn to pieces by the corpse man.

At that time, there were only two or three corpses between Yu Mu and the lieutenant general. Yu Mu rushed into them desperately, and finally only retrieved a piece of mutilated flesh, which almost cost his own life.

Now that Yaozhou City has been captured, there are only a few names of the lieutenant generals in the military exploits book, not to mention those withered bones who don't even have names.When Yu Mu heard about this, his knot became more and more difficult to solve, and his whole body became very gloomy and manic, and he couldn't accept tactics like luring the enemy and going deep alone.

Whenever Yu Mu's emotions reached a critical point, he would gallop wildly, at the fastest speed, let the wind howl in his ears, penetrate the nasal cavity and hair, and continue like this for two or three hours before his emotions eased. It was a habit he developed when he was stationed in the northern grasslands.

After Yi Qingchen looked at the sand table, he went back to the cause and effect in his heart, and sat back in his seat silently, waiting for Yu Mu to relax and return.

Three hours later, Yi Qingchen fell asleep after waiting, and Yu Mu just lifted the curtain to enter the tent, sat back on the coach's seat, and read the battle report without raising his head, Mr. Dugu didn't go to see Yu Mu, just smiled lightly Said, "Since Yu Shuai is back, he must have made a decision in his heart?"

Yu Feng flipped through the battle report in his hand before taking the time to reply, "It's absolutely impossible to attack the west. You have no way to ensure the safety of the residents in the city. This commander will never let you use the lives of the Yaozhou people as a victory." Sacrifice."

Mr. Dugu didn't think it was too surprising, he just said thoughtfully, "It's a good thing to be soft in heart, so the general has other ideas?"

Yu Mu looked up at Yi Qingchen, as if he was very concerned about his existence, Yi Qingchen was about to get up to leave, but Mr. Dugu said one step ahead of him, "Yi Baixue, participated in the siege ten years ago, and knows a lot about us. Waiting for details that are unclear, let him listen to the whole process, so that he may have other insights."

Yu Mu stopped looking at Yi Qingchen, and just clenched his fists, thinking, "If we force our way in, how many people will we lose?"

Mr. Dugu said truthfully, "In a battle in the valley, if the escape route is blocked and stones are thrown from a high place, the entire army will be wiped out."

Yu Mu nodded and continued, "Then what if I can't wait to fight in the valley?"

Mr. Dugu smiled meaningfully, and waited for the next sentence, Yu Mu then expressed his thoughts, "Although the mountain is dangerous, it is by no means impossible to climb. At that time, I will take a small team into the valley to lure the enemy. The rest of the army went up the mountain road and surrounded the remnants of the Marrow Sect, making them unable to move."

After hearing this, Yi Qingchen felt that there was something wrong with this method, but after thinking about it, none of the methods was absolutely correct. Yu Mu had more combat experience than himself, so if he asked rashly, it would be very abrupt. He swallowed the question that was on his lips, and continued to listen silently.

Mr. Dugu put his folding fan against his mask and chuckled. He didn't ask any more questions, but asked an irrelevant question, "If you don't interfere with the commander's actions, can I dispatch Murong's army at will?"

"That's your army, it's up to you." Yu Mu made it clear that he didn't trust Mr. Dugu's proposal from a "layman" and was not going to cooperate with him. Mr. Dugu nodded and led Yi Qingchen out of the tent. After walking a certain distance, he asked Mr. Dugu aloud, "What do you plan to do, sir?"

Mr. Dugu only opened the fan leisurely, shook it, and said leisurely, "Give him the aftermath."

Yi Qingchen didn't understand what it meant, but Mr. Dugu's calmness always made Yi Qingchen inexplicably believe that he really had this ability.

Since people don't want to go into details, just watch it yourself.

Saying goodbye a hundred steps away, after Mr. Dugu left, Yi Qingchen decided to go and see the situation at Hua Shenchi.

It is almost dusk now, and the autumn wind is rustling, rolling one or two fallen leaves across the ground, and the sun wheel hangs on the top of the mountain, like salted duck egg yolk.As far as he could see, there were only three Yaozhou residents in front of Yaozong, and all three of them happened to be from Huachenchi.

The other Medicine Sect disciples gathered together to share the lunch that Shiyi Qingchen had brought earlier, even though it was cold, it could barely fill their stomachs.Yi Qingchen walked up to them, greeted them, and said to Shen Sheng, "Why haven't you eaten yet?"

"Busy." Shen Sheng swallowed the steamed buns and complained, "Actually, the military doctors had almost cured them, but when they heard that Lingshan disciples were attending the clinic and they didn't charge money, they all came to join in the fun. Some people asked me I am not a physiognomist, whether his face can live to be a hundred years old, how would I know!"

The disciples on the side laughed, and someone echoed, "Someone asked me whether she will give birth to a boy or a girl in the future, and we are not the Empress of Guanyin, who really treats our Lingshan as a fairy?" There was another burst of teasing, after laughing, the tiredness in the eyes eased a little, and they went to tidy up the tables and chairs in twos and threes.

Hua Shenchi sent the last patient away, got up slowly, and Yi Qingchen hurried over to help clean up the tables and chairs, "Where are these going to be moved?"

Hua Shenchi didn't have time to drink a sip of water all day, his voice was a little hoarse, "You are weak, I'll come..."

Shen Sheng walked over with a chair in one hand, and interjected disapprovingly, "Both of you, go back and rest, I'll be fine if I come here."

Seeing that Yi Qingchen and Hua Shenchi hadn't moved, he put down the chair in hand and moved Hua Shenchi's desk and chair first. Hua Shenchi thanked him lightly, and Shen Sheng waved his hand, "Brother You go back and rest, most of those people are here for you, today I invited a group of people away due to lack of time, I guess there will be many people tomorrow."

Hua Shenchi and Yi Qingchen went back to their tents all the way, and when they opened the curtains, they saw that the bed was full of Yanjia dolls, and the little girl was curled up among them, already fast asleep.

If you would lie motionless on the table, there was a stack of blueprints in front of you, and a half-ring semi-finished product was pressed on the blueprints. Yi Qingchen thought for a while, after all, it was already autumn, and it was easy to get cold when sleeping like this. He stepped forward and woke up Ruhui.Ruhui rubbed his sleepy eyes, saw Hua Shenchi, happily went up to him, and talked about Banhuan with him.

Hua Shenchi just listened silently, and finally said lightly, "I'll try."

The two of them were very obsessed with cultivating half rings. Hua Shenchi and Ruhui were the type who would settle down once they got down to business. Yi Qingchen could only sit aside and watch. Go to the kitchen and bring some dinner for the two of them.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, he was hit on the back, Yi Qingchen hurriedly turned around, and saw Shen Yi, who was already somewhat delirious, was rubbing his head in pain, and it took a long while before he slowly raised his head, Seeing clearly that the person he bumped into was Yi Qingchen, he just smirked and said, "My lord, are you here too?"

Seeing her flushed face, Yi Qingchen stretched out his hand to touch her head, and it was frighteningly hot, so he hurriedly supported her shoulder, "You are sick, you need to rest."

Earlier, I heard from Shen Sheng that Shen Yi had been following a demon during these days. The autopsy work that Hua Shenchi had arranged for two people to do was all done by her alone. She was secretly happy, but still very worried about Shen Yi's physical and mental condition.

On the way from Weicheng to Yaozhou, Shen Yi never took half a step away from those corpses, and the food and drink were brought to her by the disciples of the younger generation in person, so she could barely manage to eat a few mouthfuls.

Shen Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he specially instructed some disciples not to bring food to Shen Yi tonight, but to force her to come out and walk around.

Shen Yi raised her hand to touch her forehead when she heard the words, and said vaguely, "It will be fine after a night of sleep, it doesn't matter..."

Only then did Yi Qingchen notice that the fatigue in Shen Yi's eyes was heavier than that of Hua Shenchi, and asked, "How long have you not rested?"

Shen Yi hesitated and thought for a while, "It's just... one, two, three... three days... I will squint for a while every day, it's okay, I will The information on those corpses has been sorted out..."

When Yi Qingchen heard this, he only asked the fat cook to save the dishes for a while, and walked to the residence with Shen Yi.
