The north city gate is not a battlefield, and the guards at the gate are also the former guards of Chidu City. Song Qifeng asked, "Don't you check the command arrow?"
"Sir Song, you are ordering the arrow by coming in person, why are you still investigating that thing?"
"Haha, thank you brother."
The last ray of hope in Chu Qiao's heart was also shattered. The horses were galloping, and the cold wind outside the Great Wall was icy. Chu Qiao only felt desolate in her heart. Without herself, what would Chidu City be? Do the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Township envoy think that they have been abandoned again? What should the people in the city trust in themselves do
The sky gradually turned white, and the long night was about to pass. At dawn, Chu Qiao was helped down from the carriage and brought into a tent sheltered from the wind. After untying the rope, she tore off the black cloth in front of her eyes, but was startled. Miss Yu stood in front of her tenderly, handed over a warm towel, and said lightly, "Wipe your face, we'll be traveling all night. Thanks for your hard work."
"Miss Yu?"
Miss Yu was wearing a cotton white robe, with a thin face, deep-set eyes, and a few faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, "It's me."
Chu Qiao's eyes changed from shock to unbelievable, she frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"
"This is not a safe place. Beishuo is running out of time. Without you, whether Chidu can make it through today is a matter of debate. Come with me first, and I will explain it to you on the way."
"You tell me first, why?"
Chu Qiao's eyes were cold, and she looked at the ace of Yanbei's armed forces coldly, and said in a word: "You have known about the battle in Beishuo for a long time? Do you know how the people there are messing around?"
Miss Yu nodded, and said calmly, "Yes, I know."
"Then Daxia divides his troops into two groups, and strengthens Helan Mountain to attack Chidu City, do you know?"
"I know." Miss Yu said calmly.
"In Beishuo City, Cao Mengtong recruited troops wantonly, using the militiamen as human shields, and wantonly killed the people of Yanbei."
"I know."
"The people of Chidu left their homes and went to the Blue City Castle. They froze to death and starved to death countless times on the way."
"I know."
"Once Da Xia breaks through Chidu, he can attack Beishuo from two directions. Millions of soldiers and civilians in Beishuo will die without a place to bury them. The entire land in the eastern part of Yanbei will be controlled by Daxia. , all civilians to the east of Sunset Mountain will be slaughtered by the Xia Army!"
"I know."
From the beginning to the end, Miss Yu's face was so calm, she listened quietly, as if what they were talking about was just some small daily things.
Chu Qiao's chest heaved, she clenched her fists, and she frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Why? Since you know everything, why didn't you stop it? Why did you watch the good situation turn into fatigue and fall into the flames of war?"
Miss Yu looked at Chu Qiao quietly, her eyes were gentle and wise, her tone was as calm as a stream, "Ah Chu, don't you understand?"
Chu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, a terrifying thought slowly emerged from the bottom of her heart, slashing at her fragile nerves like a butcher knife.
Miss Yu smiled faintly, "There is not a single soldier in Lancheng at present, and all the troops in the Sunset Mountains have been shrunk and transferred away. Not only Lancheng, but at present, there is no soldier in the entire inland of Yanbei. The inland is now a racetrack. Xia Jun attacked, and they won. I am powerless to stop General Cao, and no one authorizes me to do so. My mission here is to take you away. Apart from that, I have not received any orders for actions. .”
The whole person seemed to be thrown into the ice and snow suddenly, Chu Qiao staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Her heart was throbbing tightly, as if surrounded by solid ice, and every beat was bloody pain. She took a deep breath, but felt that her chest was blocked, she opened her mouth, frowned, and everything gradually connected together, forming a terrifying line.
"Yan Xun..."
"His Highness is not at Meilin Pass either."
A short sentence instantly crushed all of Chu Qiao's beliefs, and all her thoughts turned into sharp arrows with barbs, piercing into flesh and blood, the pain was so painful that people couldn't open their mouths or make a sound. She swayed and held onto the pillars of the tent, her chest heaved violently, panting heavily, trying to say something, but she couldn't say a word.
Miss Yu said quietly: "Before he left, His Highness told me that he must take you away. I waited for a long time in Lancheng, but I didn't see you. Later, I found out that something happened on the road, and the Beishuo army was messing around again. , I have no choice but to invite you here in this way, please forgive me."
"You guys are crazy!" A deep voice came slowly, with a heavy hiss like a wild animal, Chu Qiao bent over and raised her head, her eyes were bloodshot, staring at Miss Yu coldly, shaking her head constantly Said, "This is crazy!"
"Although it is crazy, it is very effective. His Royal Highness's army has now broken through Changting Province, and all the more than 30 provinces and counties in the northwest have bowed their heads. The old Batuha family has become history. Now the main forces of Great Xia are all assembled in Yanbei In the territory, several frontier guards gathered at the border of Bian Tang and Huai Song, and the internal forces were surprisingly empty. Huai Song is already cooperating with us and has conducted several large-scale military exercises on the border of Da Xia, attracting Xia Bing's attention. This At that time, as long as we attract the troops of Daxia into the territory of Yanbei, and cut off their information channel with the help of heavy snow and scouts, the soldiers are extremely fast, and within half a month, we will be able to enter Zhenhuang City! Even if we wait for the Northern Expedition afterwards The army reacted, and most of Daxia had already fallen into the hands of our army. At that time, if they wanted to fight back, they would definitely be blocked from the Yanming Pass!" Miss Yu stepped forward and gently cheered for Chu Qiao. Brushing the broken hair from his forehead, he said quietly, "Ah Chu, His Highness knows that you will not agree with this proposal, so he hides it from you, but this does not mean that he does not trust you. When the attack comes, we can resist it once, but we cannot resist the second time. The bitter cold in Yanbei greatly limits our development. No matter how hard we try, we cannot compete with the Great Xia inland, not to mention our natural weakness , That is the dog Rong who keeps knocking and harassing the border. Therefore, only by launching a counterattack unexpectedly and changing positions can we remain invincible and completely turn the situation around! You are his closest person, so you should understand him. "
"Just for this complete strategic shift, are you going to let millions of Yanbei soldiers and civilians be your bait and cannon fodder?" Chu Qiao's voice was cold and exhausted, she slowly raised her head, her eyes were bloodshot, how much? The hard work and expectations of the day turned into rubble in an instant.
She once suspected that Yan Xun led the army to attack Meilin Pass to kill the main force of the Second Army and stabilize her position in Yanbei. But she never thought that Yan Xun's ambition was not in Yanbei at all. He used millions of Yanbei soldiers and civilians as bait to set up a huge trap in Beishuo City, attracting all Daxia's troops. Then, in defiance of the world, he led the first army and the elite soldiers from the Lancheng Sunset Mountain area, swept into the hinterland of Daxia with lightning speed, and used the rapid force and wind and snow to block communication, and stormed into Daxia forcefully. Xia Inland has occupied the land of Daxia.
Hehe, what a wild and crazy plan, it means that when the United States attacked Iraq, Iraq gave up its homeland and led its troops to occupy the United States. After the American Expeditionary Force declared victory, it turned around and found that the homeland had completely fallen . Such a big bargain is really rare in a thousand years.
No wonder, he insisted on dividing his troops to attack Meilin Pass before the war. No wonder, he didn't bring himself with him. No wonder, he would arrange for idiots like Cao Mengtong to stay in Beishuo, and support Cao Mengtong's conscription, just because he wanted to create a situation where Yanbei would go all out to counterattack, to attract Daxia's attention. No wonder, the help letter he sent was ignored, and his bodyguards were all Yan Xun's close confidantes. Facing Beishuo's nonsense, Lancheng didn't have any objection!
Such a deep scheming, such a deep city, such a terrible and rigorous plan, even she, a senior commander who has received modern military education, can't imagine, Yan Xun is really too powerful.
"Miss Yu, do you still remember what you said to me when we first met?"
Miss Yu's expression froze, her complexion became a little paler, but she still said slowly: "I hope that one day, there will be no orphan like you in Yanbei."
"Yes," Chu Qiao smiled bitterly, "You have done a good job. Once this battle is won, there will be no orphan like me in Yanbei, because all the people in Yanbei have already died."
The eyes of the woman in white darkened, she meditated for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "If a nation wants to go to freedom, it always has to pay a price."
Chu Qiao glanced at her in disgust, and said coldly: "Very well, all the people of Yanbei will die, and then you will gain glory and wealth, and ascend to the Supreme of All Saints. This is the price that the people of Yanbei pay for their desire for freedom. !"
"Ah Chu!" Miss Yu grabbed Chu Qiao and said eagerly, "Don't be so extreme, there is absolutely no problem in this matter strategically, this is a feat, can't you see it? Daxia's The gate of the country will be opened, and the Shengjin Palace will tremble in front of Yanbei's cavalry!"
"Don't touch me!" Chu Qiao sneered coldly, her eyes as sharp as knives, "There is no problem in strategy, but you have abandoned the people who supported you! Protect the people who support you! You have failed the people's expectations, deceived the trust of tens of millions of people, and pushed them into the pit of fire! For your own prosperity and for your own power struggle, you have to let tens of millions of people Go to hell! Miss Yu!" Chu Qiao's eyes were red, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down. She bit her lower lip tightly and said slowly, "Why? What's wrong with you all? Have you forgotten everything you said before? These days , no matter what kind of difficult environment, no matter what kind of difficult situation, I firmly believe that you will come to save me. The Southwest Town Government makes such rebels know that they will come back to protect the people at such a time, why do you want to save me? Abandon them? Did you know? In Chidu City, every household enshrines the longevity tablets of you and Mr. Wu. They burn incense every morning and evening, hoping that you will live a long life. They say that you are the protectors of Yanbei, as long as there are you In Yanbei, there is still hope. They left their homes and fled to Lancheng without even having time to bring food, but they still remembered to take your "respect" away. Go and see how many incense sticks are on the way. Burned for you, are you worthy of them?"
Miss Yu took a deep breath, her delicate brows were tightly knit together, and she said with difficulty: "I am for the great unity of the people in the world."
