The army moved out quickly, and disappeared in the vast snow field in a short while. Soon, the hoofs of other horse teams covered the chaotic snow field. This night was not a night suitable for sleeping peacefully after all. When Huo An saw Zhuge Yue, it was already early in the morning. In the Mingxi Valley, there were only less than 200 of the original 300 people left, but they still maintained a high degree of vigilance and combat effectiveness. The mouth of the Mingxi Valley is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are abundant wild animals in the valley. There is no need to worry about food and grass. As long as they wait for three days, Zhao Che will definitely find that the number of Yanbei troops under Yanming Pass has decreased. Xun had no choice but to return for help, and at that time, Zhuge Yue had a good chance to escape.
Just by looking at it, Huo An understood the brilliance of Yan Xun's plan. With such a terrain and the size of the troops, even if he attacked by force, he would have to pay a huge price.
"General Zhuge, I am Lord Chu's subordinate, Huo An, commander of the Xiuli Army, I have something important to tell you."
Zhuge Yue's clothes were neat and tidy, and he still had that shrewd and indifferent appearance, even when he was fleeing, he didn't show any panic. He glanced at Huo An indifferently, and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, the leader of the Xiuli Army should be He Xiao."
"Master He Xiao has already died in battle, and now I will take over his position." Huo An said in a deep voice with calm eyes and unchanged expression.
Hearing this, Zhuge Yue raised his eyebrows lightly, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at him calmly with his eyes, and shot at him like a knife with his inner wit. Huo An stabilized his mind and said calmly: "My lord said that the general's possessions have been exposed. No matter what you have to do, general, please leave immediately. She has arranged a secret road for you in Helan Mountain. If you believe her, you can take it Bian Tang, escape from Yanbei. If you have another way out, please leave as soon as possible, because His Majesty has already sent a large army to surround you, if you don’t leave, I’m afraid there will be no chance.”
"What happened to your lord? Why did Commander He Xiao die in battle?"
Huo An's complexion changed slightly, he thought for a while and said: "My lord only explained what I said just now, as for the others, please forgive me for not being able to tell."
After finishing speaking, he turned around to leave, Zhuge Yue said: "Stop."
Huo An still didn't stop, only heard a sharp buzzing sound, a young soldier drew out his long sword, put the sword on his neck sharply and swiftly, and said coldly: "I didn't hear my young master calling You?"
Huo An turned his head to look over, but he was a young man who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with the coldness unique to swordsmen in his eyes.
"Yue Jiu, don't mess around."
Zhuge Yue said in a deep voice, the young swordsman bowed his head and backed away, Huo An turned his head to look at Zhuge Yue's calm eyes, and said slowly: "General, there are traitors in my subordinates, who harmed you and also harmed you." Your Majesty, Your Majesty wants His Majesty to kill you, but Your Majesty refused, and even sent troops to stop the team His Majesty sent to kill you. I have fallen out with the army. Now, I have no face to go back to my Lord and beg for His forgiveness. I only hope that the General will listen to my family If you are an adult, leave as soon as possible, otherwise the nine thousand soldiers of our Southwest Township will die in vain, and my lord will also sacrifice in vain."
After saying that, Huo An drew out the sharp sword and wiped it on the neck. Zhuge Yue was quick to parry the sword, but he still didn't have time, and saw a bloodstain across the man's neck, blood flowing.
Meng Feng squatted down immediately, then raised his head and said, "Don't worry, you won't die."
Zhuge Yue's face was gloomy, he looked at the emptiness of the snowfield and did not speak for a long time. His subordinates all looked at him, and one of them said: "General, you can't believe everything this man says."
Zhuge Yue nodded and said, "Test."
"yes!"
At dawn, a scout rushed back and said in a deep voice: "General, it has been found out that some people have seen that Master Chu's army is rushing to Yuegong City at a high speed. It just passed an hour ago. The subordinates carefully After checking the horseshoes, they were very panicked and the hoof prints were extremely chaotic, but they have not yet received a call from Quan Yanbei to arrest Master Chu."
Zhuge Yue nodded, but did not speak, but his brain was running at high speed.
After a while, another detective came back and said: "General, we have found out that the Black Eagle Army led by Cheng Yuan is divided into five groups, and they are all following Miss Chu to arrest her. There are more than 100,000 people."
"Young master, all the counties and counties along the Yuegong route have increased their troops, set up roadblocks, and the militiamen are conducting inspections everywhere, and Yuegong City has also frequently mobilized troops. The situation is not good."
"General, Yan Xun has also gone to Yue Gong."
The strong wind was blowing, and the world was desolate. Zhuge Yue, dressed in gray fox fur, stood tall, suddenly walked up to the horse, and said in a low but forceful voice, "Go to Yue Gong."
"General!" Meng Feng grabbed Zhuge Yue's rein and stopped in front of him, saying in a deep voice, "You can't go."
Zhuge Yue raised his eyes lightly, but did not speak. Meng Feng understood the meaning of his eyes so well, it was rare for him to say in a solemn voice: "There are many doubts about this matter, and even if it is true, with our current strength, we shouldn't act rashly."
"Yes, General," said Zhuge Yue's lieutenant named Shen Ru. He used to be one of his slaves who fed horses. He was extremely talented. He was released from slavery all the way and promoted to the deputy commander of the army.
Shen Ru said in a deep voice, "This subordinate also thinks this matter is extremely strange. If it was a secret operation, why was it so easy for us to detect the information? And the timing is so suitable?"
Yue Jiu frowned, "Master, this subordinate also thinks something suspicious."
"General, this matter is too coincidental. If it is true, how did this Huo An find us? If he can find us, does that mean that Chu Qiao has been following us? Beware of others, I also think According to the original plan, the best policy is to evacuate immediately."
"You're all right." Zhuge Yue nodded, and said slowly. The crowd burst into smiles, thinking that he had finally listened to it. But soon, Zhuge Yue frowned and looked at them seriously, saying in a deep voice. said, "But what if what he says is true?"
Everyone was stunned, yes, if it was true, then looking at Yan Xun's posture, wouldn't Chu Qiao be sure to die? What if such a thing did happen
Zhuge Yue didn't wait for everyone's answer, but turned on his own and jumped on the horse's back. Everyone was startled, and they all went forward to stop him. Meng Feng persuaded with earnestness: "General, I think this matter is probably false, Yan Xun deliberately lured you into the bait..."
"Nine times out of ten it is false, what about the other one out of ten?"
Meng Feng was dumbfounded.
"Is it worth risking your life just for this one out of ten?"
Zhuge Yue didn't answer, just shook his head quietly, and said softly: "I still can't be sure..."
He didn't continue talking, and he didn't say that he wasn't completely sure about anything. The man's expression suddenly became a little erratic. He quietly raised his head, looked at the heavy snow flying in the distance, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a sneer: "Besides, It is not so easy for him, Yan Xun, to want my life, Zhuge Yue's."
"Yuejiu," Zhuge Yue's eyes were cold, flashing a hint of ruthlessness, "Notify Yueda that the nail we buried in Yanbei is ready for use."
nail? There was a trace of bewilderment in Yue Jiu's eyes, but in the blink of an eye, he was immediately refreshed, he responded, and got on his horse swiftly.
The sound of horseshoes gradually disappeared, Zhuge Yue sat on the horseback, narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were calm, but there was an undercurrent flowing slowly. He considered everything and imagined the worst ending. Suddenly, he seemed to see someone waving at him from a distance in the vast snowy field.
If all this is true, isn't there, isn't there a glimmer of hope? For her own sake, she did not hesitate to turn against Yan Xun. Does it prove that he is not without status in her heart
Zhuge Yue thought darkly, then shook his head silently and laughed, his fatal spot was pinned down by others again.
The horseshoes were flying, and they ran towards Yuegong City in the distance. The sun rose, but it was covered by dark clouds, and the sky and the earth were dark. Yuegong, the food and grass city in Yanbei, ushered in another turmoil in history today.
On this day, the whole of Yanbei was filled with wind and snow all over the sky. The strong wind was like a crazy lunatic, spinning around in the field, roaring violently, the snow was more than three feet thick, and it hit the face like a tiny Pain like a rock. The war horses were covered with leather covering their bellies and eyes, but they were still looking around in panic. The soldiers wore furs and hoods, and were blinded by the wind, so they could only trek on foot on the snow field.
When they reached the Moli River, Chu Qiao suddenly ordered the whole army to stop, and Sun Cai rushed forward to inquire, but only saw a cold back. The young female general stood on a leeward snow slope, looking at the vast snow sea in the distance, the birds in the distance were disturbed, and the snow and fog were scattered.
When he came down, Sun Cai angrily pushed away the soldiers who pulled him, stepped forward angrily, and said, "Master Chu, what are you doing? The military situation is like a fire, and your Majesty's life and death are in danger, but you still have the heart to look at the scenery here ?”
Chu Qiao's eyes lightly passed over him, like ice in the middle of winter.
The girl is still very young, but for some reason, everyone who knows her will unconsciously ignore her age when standing in front of her, trembling and panicking uncontrollably. Although the weather was so cold, there was still sweat slowly oozing from Sun Cai's forehead. Just when he sensed something was wrong, Chu Qiao had already ordered, "Tie him up."
Without a second of hesitation, the soldiers of the Xiuli Army quickly stepped forward and bound Sun Cai tightly with a few blows. The young officer struggled and shouted: "What are you doing? Master Chu, are you going to rebel?"
Chu Qiao looked at him coldly, her eyes piercing sharply, through the shock and anger on his surface, she could easily see the underlying panic and worry. Her heart gradually became cold, like water flowing under the ice, very cold.
"He Xiao, take out all the explosives you brought with you, and blow up Molijiang, leaving 300 people standing firm. If someone rushes from the opposite side before tomorrow morning, you don't have to come to see me."
"Yes!" He Xiao replied coldly.
Chu Qiao turned over and climbed onto the horseback, and said to her subordinates, "Let's go."
"Master Chu! Do you know what you are doing now?"
Chu Qiao turned her head slowly, gave Sun Cai a cold look, and said calmly, "Of course I know."
"You are preventing our people from rescuing His Majesty, you are treason!"
Chu Qiao mocked slightly, and smiled faintly, "Master Sun, are you guys too naive, or am I, Chu Qiao, really so stupid in your eyes? You said you were the only one who escaped from Yuegong City, so why are there five roads behind you now?" The army is chasing us? I went back to Shangshen by the way, and set off a day earlier, so I was able to get here. Then why did the Black Eagle Army from the headquarters come here so quickly? You said that Zhuge Yue brought an army of 50,000 without knowing who the ghost is? You unknowingly attacked Yue Gong's food and grass, and besieged His Majesty, so tell me, now that it's the end of the year, what is Your Majesty doing here instead of staying in the headquarters?"
