snowstorm

In the courtyard filled with white moonlight, the hall is full of plain onyxes and cries from time to time, the dim candlelight flickers in the hall, and the house presents a strange twisted shape in the sticky candlelight.Xie Qiao stood barefoot in the yard blankly, eyes full of horror.

In that hall, there is a coffin, and in that coffin, there is a person lying...

Xie Qiao's feet seemed to be stuck in a sticky swamp. He clearly wanted to go to the hall to confirm something quickly, but his steps were so heavy that he could only stumble and stagger away...

The candlelight was getting closer, but the crying sound was getting farther and farther away. The house seemed to be a small boat in the wind and rain, shaking violently and distortedly.

"call"

With a soft bang, the candle was finally completely extinguished.Xie Qiao was finally in complete darkness.He opened his eyes wide, trying to find a direction to go to the lobby - because, that person is there, even if he is dead...

Dead, Xie Qiao's hands trembled, and a large piece of warm blood suddenly overflowed from the palm of his hand—"tick tick tick", the blood gurgled to the ground and covered the soles of his feet... His body suddenly seemed to be scalded. He trembled violently—he knew, whose blood it was... surrounded by endless darkness, but this blood was warm and red...

……

Xie Qiao opened his eyes suddenly, he was panting violently, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.He tilted his head, it was cold and there was no one around him.His throat moved, and then he got up and got out of the bed with all his strength. He didn't even care about putting on his shoes, so he stumbled and walked in one direction.

The sky was completely bright, the light came through the simple windows, and the big tent was also bright.As soon as Lu Jue came in with his breakfast, he saw Xie Qiao stumbling and walking quickly with bare feet. When he bumped into him, Xie Qiao stopped. She looked at him closely, as if confirming something.

"Qiao Er!" Lu Jue frowned, put the breakfast aside, and hurriedly stepped forward to support his shoulders. He reached out to touch Xie Qiao's forehead, but the heat subsided, but he was covered in cold sweat.

"Qiao Er, what's the matter with you?" Lu Jue held his shoulders, his face full of worry.

Xie Qiao reached out to touch Lu Jue's face carefully, and finally confirmed that it was warm. He breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes to hide his thoughts, and when he opened them again, he was no longer afraid. He said: " Brother Huaiyu, I'm fine."

Lu Jue's brows did not relax. He looked into Xie Qiao's eyes and said, "Qiaoer, to be honest."

Xie Qiao smiled: "Brother Huaiyu, I said that I only did this because I had a nightmare that was too real, do you believe me?"

Lu Jue took the breakfast next to him with one hand, and walked in with his shoulders in the other. When he reached the couch, he pressed Xie Qiao on the bed, and put the breakfast on the small table beside him. He took a bowl of porridge and stuffed it into Xie Qiao's bed. Joe looked at him, and said, "I'll believe what you say." After a pause, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Eat first. After eating, tell me, what kind of dream can make us Qiaoer Scared like this."

Xie Qiao had a meal, but he didn't eat the bowl of porridge. He met Lu Jue's eyes and said hoarsely, "Brother Huaiyu, I dreamed that you were dead. I killed you."

Lu Jue looked at the fear in Xie Qiao's eyes, which he tried to hide but still let out. The deepest part of his heart seemed to be stabbed severely by something, and the pain was so painful that he was about to lose consciousness for a moment.With such pain in his heart, his eyes were bent, he grabbed Xie Qiao's hand, and took his hand to cover his heart.

"bang, bang"

Under Xie Qiao's palm was Lu Jue's warm and powerful heartbeat. He opened his eyes wide, and then heard Lu Jue's slightly hoarse voice: "Qiao Er, I am here." It was just a dream.

Xie Qiao's hand on Lu Jue's chest trembled suddenly, his throat moved, and he said, "Brother Huaiyu, what if, it's not just a dream? You..."

What will you do?

how would you see me

How would you deal with the relationship between us?

These words, but no matter what, I dare not ask them.

After hearing these words, Lu Jue just laughed lightly, and tapped Xie Qiao's forehead, he said: "Qiaoer, why do you always forget what I said to you?"

At that time, he was also in the big tent in Jizhou. He told him that as long as it wasn't betrayal, he could laugh it off, even if it was his life.

His eyes were bent, like a bright and clean crescent moon in the mountains, with a soft and gentle light inside, he looked at him, and said seriously: "Qiaoer, Yanguan is the ideal I have placed in this life, wait for me to complete it ——My heart completely belongs to you, and my life will completely belong to you. I will take it back if you trample on it and betray it. If you just take my life, I will be content with it.”

If he trampled and betrayed him, even if it was dripping with blood, he would take those two things back completely; but, if not, what is it to give his sweetheart his life?

He covered Xie Qiao's hand on his chest, and said softly: "Qiaoer, did you hear that?" Did you hear my sincerity to you?

"bang, bang"

That was the sound of Lu Jue's heart beating and blood flowing.Xie Qiao's eye sockets were finally completely red, and a tear rolled down the corner of his eye.Lu Jue reached out to touch the end of his eyes lightly, and there were crystal tears on his fingers. He looked at the tears, then at Xie Qiao, and said with a smile: "How old are you, it's not like you haven't heard love stories, how come Still crying?"

Saying so, he quietly held the warm teardrops in his palm carefully, feeling it slowly melting in his palm, he said: "Joe, eat." After eating, the military doctor will send him Medicine pulse.This wind and cold has been repeated for more than a month, and it must be completely cleared.

Xie Qiao lowered her eyes and finally said: "Okay."

……

After eating and taking medicine, Xie Qiao finally calmed down because of that dream.

He looked at Lu Jue and asked, "Brother Huaiyu, what are you going to do?"

Right now, the Beiliang soldiers outside Jizhou City are just a small group, and most of them are stationed in Liao County if they want to come. That small group of troops does not attack the city on weekdays, they just call for formations.Lu Jue ordered not to fight, but this is obviously not Lu Jue's style.Beiliang may be a temptation right now, or it may be something else, but they can't never stop attacking the city.

Lu Jue smiled and said: "It will not be long before winter will come. There is a valley outside Liao County. The valley is deep. Once winter comes, there will be thick fog. The sides of the valley are rocky. I have found many People asked, and I personally explored, from Jizhou to that valley, there is a small road that is not recorded on the map." At that time, their soldiers and horses will pass through this small road, and Lu Jue squinted at the secret ambush there. Eyes—the valley most suitable for ambushes is the battlefield he chose.

Xie Qiao frowned slightly when he heard that, the people of Beiliang are not fools, if they want to lure them into the valley, they must have enough bait, for the people of Beiliang, there is no other comparison - he gritted his teeth, and looked closely at Lu Jue: "What's the bait?"

Lu Jue looked at him, his eyes were bent, he rubbed Xie Qiao's head, and said, "Don't worry, I will protect myself." After a pause, his eyes overflowed with awe-inspiring and bright light, and he said: " I will also succeed and bring back the six prefectures of Yanguan."

Sure enough—Xie Qiao closed his eyes—for Beiliang people, there is no more alluring bait than Lu Jue himself. Lu Jue killed their God of War and became famous in Beiliang.None of the generals and soldiers in Beiliang wanted to take Lu Jue's head.

Xie Qiao clenched his fists tightly. If it was used as bait, he would naturally not bring too many troops. He almost used flesh and blood to face Beiliang's 10,000+ iron armor. Lu Jue was fighting this battle with his life.

But——Xie Qiao's clenched fist trembled, and his nails almost pierced his palm—he just couldn't say a word to Lu Jue, 'Don't go, I don't want you to go', he couldn't say this sentence to insult his general.

So, he clenched his fists under the table, but there was a smile on his face, and he looked at him: "I'll wait for you to return from victory."

Lu Jue laughed twice, his voice was clear, he rubbed Xie Qiao's hair vigorously, and said, "Of course I will come back victorious. I will dedicate the victory to Your Majesty and the people of Dasheng—" Mingming's voice was instantly low and deep. Qingrou: "Return Lu Jue to you." Xie Qiao saw clearly that when he said this, there seemed to be thousands of bright stars in his eyes, so he had to believe it.

"Okay." Finally, he smiled.

……

Liao County.

Xie Fu sat in the large tent of the Chinese Army, looked at the topographic map on the desk for a while, squinted his eyes, and finally fixed his gaze on an inconspicuous valley next to Liao County.

This valley is suitable for ambushes.

He stretched out his hand to touch the valley, and then moved to Jizhou, his face full of thoughts: If you want to achieve great success, you must first take down the north, and the south has the Yangtze River as a barrier, so you must take it slowly, don't be impatient.

Jizhou is the gateway to the north of Dasheng. If you want to win the north, you must win Jizhou.But at this time, Jizhou has enough soldiers and food, and Lu Jue is the commander. A tough attack on the city will not pay off. Therefore, the main force in Jizhou must be drawn out.

Leading to—Xie Fu pointed his finger at the valley again—this is the best battlefield.As long as the main force of Jizhou soldiers and horses is hit hard here, then he can easily win Jizhou.

At that time, there will be great success.

"Dan Qi!" A person directly lifted the curtain and came in, he was full of beards, his eyes were open like copper bells, he entered the tent and strode up to Xie Fu, with a bit of contempt on his face, he said: " When are you going to attack the city?"

Xie Fu narrowed his eyes under the mask, and said, "General Wu, you want to call me Great General."

"Humph," the man sneered, and said, "General, when are you going to attack the city? I can't afford to waste the food and grass in Beiliang!" After that, he said, "Although you are a general, the king will not let you go!" I am the lieutenant general, the general, you cannot act arbitrarily."

Dan Qi was not angry, but said: "I said, Lu Jue's plan is for the six counties of Yanguan, he will come out by himself sooner or later, and we don't need to lose our troops to attack the city."

The man sneered disdainfully, and said, "I still thought that Lu Jue was some kind of hero, but now that I think about it, he is just a coward! If he is scolded like that by the soldiers who are called to the formation, he will just stay in the city and never come out! Such a person guards The city of Beiliang can be conquered in less than ten days by my Beiliang cavalry! Are you going to send troops or not?"

Dan Qi sneered, and said: "Lu Jue used 2000 troops to block 10 horses outside the city of Jizhou for [-] days, and he also beheaded Juqukun—"

The man suddenly stood up and was about to say something, when Dan Qi said coldly: "General Wu, you were very wary of Lu Jue a few days ago, are you so arrogant now?" After a pause, He paused every word: "I told you that if you want to defeat Lu Jue, you must not be afraid of him, let alone despise him."

"I think you are a coward who is afraid of Lu Jue!" The man said loudly, then turned around and strode out of the tent, muttering: "Bah, a male pet is also worthy of holding my Beiliang soldiers... ..."

Xie Fu narrowed his eyes and looked at the man's back, with murderous intent flashing across his eyes: This man was restrained by Juqu Jinque, and he was only loyal to Juqu Jinque, he was not a brave man, It's just that the idea of ​​wanting to win Jizhou overwhelmed the rationality-a cold smile appeared on Danqi's face: If you want to completely control the 10,000+ troops, this person must be eliminated.
