[Rebirth] General waiting for my return

The Southwest War involved a lot, and almost all of Dayu south of Nantang was involved.

However, at this time, Nantang still didn't seem to be affected by the war. The whole city was very lively, and there was no sense of urgency that it was about to be affected by the flames of war.

Qin Muqiu and Zhao Duanwu rode horses side by side on the busy street.

Because the climate in Nantang is relatively hot, it feels like early summer at this time, and both of them have changed into thin shirts.

Tan Muqiu had never been to Nantang, so he felt quite novel about the local customs, customs and clothing.Both of them rode very slowly along the way, so Tan Muqiu looked left and right.And because the two of them are handsome and have good temperament, they also attracted a lot of attention for a while.

"I remember that the previous report said that the Nanba army had already reached the county town. This county town is only a day's walk away from Nantang, so why doesn't it look different here?" Tan Muqiu asked Zhao Duanwu in a low voice. .

Zhao Duanwu replied: "You must be used to fighting in the northern border, and thought that all the battles in the world are the same."

Qin Muqiu was puzzled when he heard the words, remembering that when he was in Beijun, where the war was still several days away, people were all ready to fight, and some even started packing up their belongings and preparing to flee.

Zhao Duanwu said: "Don't say that the Nanba army hit the county, even if they hit Nantang, the market here should still be open."

"Don't they burn, kill, rape and plunder when they enter the city?" Tan Muqiu asked.

Zhao Duanwu curled his lips and said, "It seems not."

When Tan Muqiu heard the words, he remembered that he had read in his book "Strange People" when he was young, saying that some tribes in the southern border have honest folk customs and don't like to fight. .

As for the tribes in the southern border, the covenant is the most important.

If the two races make an oath, they will not easily break the agreement.

Seeing the scene of Nantang now, he couldn't help but think of the southern border in the book, and it was quite similar to the southwestern land.I just don't know if the people here also like to make some oaths. If Zhao Qingming wins the battle, will he drink blood wine with the general of the Nanba Army?

Southwest, Chehe Town.

In the commander's tent of the Red Maple Camp, Zhan Xun was standing in front of a simple sand table and talking, surrounded by two lieutenants, communicating with each other from time to time.Zhao Qingming was sitting on the side with his upper body naked, and was wrapping his body with cloth strips. There was faint blood on his left shoulder near his chest. He was obviously injured, and the wound must not be shallow.

"Don't chase the poor." Zhao Qingming tied the cloth strips in a knot, picked up the thin shirt while wearing it, and said, "Within twenty miles to the southwest of Chehe, there are wild mountains and dense forests. We are not familiar with the terrain there. , if you go rashly, you will be ambushed."

Zhan Xun nodded and said: "Even if there is no ambush, if you accidentally enter the miasma forest, you will be in serious trouble." Both lieutenants nodded in agreement, knowing that what Zhan Xun said was true.

"The main force of the Nanba Army has just suffered a defeat, and there will be no troubles for a while. If we don't attack, they should not take the initiative to attack again in a short time." Zhao Qingming said: "And for more than a month, our I feel that they always fight and retreat, and I don’t know what their intentions are. The more this time, the more we can’t rush forward.”

A lieutenant agreed quite a bit, saying: "Chehe is now under our control, and nearly half of the towns that were previously captured by Nanba have been taken back. It is very feasible to take this opportunity to repair and plan the next arrangement while strengthening the defense. .”

Another lieutenant also nodded and said: "However, we still can't take it lightly. You must know that the remaining towns to be taken back are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you don't make complete preparations, you will easily lose your manpower. "

"Let's come here first today." Zhan Xun said: "You two go to arrange repairs and solid defenses. When the time comes, make arrangements and submit a report to the commander."

Two lieutenants led the way.

Zhao Qingming said: "Is there any news from Zhongdu?"

"I was going to talk to you about this." Zhan Xun said: "Your brother sent a message a few days ago that if things are as you expected, he will bring someone back to the camp to see you as soon as possible."

Zhao Qingming's eyes lit up, his face showed joy, then he frowned again, worried, and asked, "Did he say when he would arrive?"

"The news arrived this morning. According to the departure date stated in the summons, it will arrive in the day after tomorrow." Zhan Xun said.

"Okay, okay...ok." Zhao Qingming said three good words in a row, and then realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly suppressed his smile.

Seeing this, Zhan Xun smiled, and said seriously: "Are there people on the way to greet him? It is more dangerous to walk south after passing the county town. If you get lost or encounter the broken soldiers of Nanba, you will be in trouble."

"When I was in the county town, I had specially reserved people and horses, and I will look for them when I arrive at the Dragon Boat Festival." Zhao Qingming said: "Forget it, just in case, you can arrange some people to wait in the county town. Make no mistake."

The spring water melts, and the grass grows and the warblers fly.

By the Yuluo River, Tan Muqiu and Zhao Duanwu rode side by side.

"Let's rest for a while, after driving such a long distance, the horse will be tired even if the person is not tired." Tan Muqiu stopped the horse after saying that, and the two got off immediately.

Tan Muqiu walked to the river, rinsed his face with water, and suddenly felt refreshed, all the fatigue was gone.Zhao Duanwu fetched water from the water bag and handed it to him, and took dry food from the pack on the horse to share with him.

Hong Feng and Zhao Duanwu's horses were grazing by the river, looking up to the other side of the river from time to time, seeming a little uneasy.

"Hongfeng has been looking at the other side." Zhao Duanwu said vigilantly.

Tan Muqiu frowned slightly, took a sip of water, and said, "Don't panic, if you feel danger, it has already warned me, it must be because you are not used to this place for the first time."

Zhao Duanwu didn't relax when he heard the words, because he could feel that Tan Muqiu was also a little nervous.

"Let's go." Tan Muqiu put away the dry rations he had eaten, got up and called Hong Feng, took the rein and jumped onto the horse.Zhao Duanwu followed closely, jumped on his horse, and said, "Fortunately, we didn't go too far. Let's go back along the original road and take the county road instead. Although it's a bit farther, at least we can ensure safety."

Tan Muqiu glanced at Zhao Duanwu, and said: "It's too late, there is no way to retreat, let's go." After saying that, he clamped the horse's belly, and was carried forward by Hongfeng first.

The two have been advancing along the Yuluo River. If there is no accident, they will reach Chehe in less than a day's journey, where the Hongfeng Battalion is now stationed.

The Yuluo River flows from north to south, and turns suddenly at the place where the water is turbulent, and turns to the southwest.

Hongfeng turned a corner along the river bank, and suddenly stopped suddenly, almost throwing Tan Muqiu off.In a short while, the horse that Zhao Duanwu was riding had caught up. Before Tan Muqiu had time to think about it, he stretched out his hand and pulled Zhao Duanwu off the horse.

Before Zhao Duanwu came back to his senses, he heard a scream, and the horse that was riding under him just now suddenly sank into the pit less than two feet away.

A strong smell of blood gushed out of the pit in an instant, filling the air. Zhao Duanwu's complexion was pale, and he couldn't help but want to step up to take a look, but Tan Muqiu stretched out a hand to him, saying: "This place is not suitable for staying for long, get on your horse."

Zhao Duanwu came to his senses and leaped onto Hongfeng with the help of Qin Muqiu's extended hand.

Hong Feng turned her head and ran into the bushes beside her, and then galloped away involuntarily.

Both men on horseback lowered their bodies to avoid being scratched by the branches.

"They are catching up." Zhao Duanwu said in a low voice.

"Beware of hidden arrows behind you." Tan Muqiu said something in Hong Feng's ear while reminding Zhao Duanwu.

Seeing this, Zhao Duanwu was puzzled and said, "Can Hongfeng really understand what you say?"

"I don't know." After Tan Muqiu finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Yanhe Road just now.This place is far away from the place where the ambush was set just now, and it is expected that the other party will not ambush for such a long distance.Galloping horses in the jungle is extremely dangerous, and Hong Feng can't do it at all.

Seeing that he was about to drive out of the jungle, Tan Muqiu confessed to Zhao Duanwu again.

The moment Hongfeng drove out of the jungle, Zhao Duanwu looked back and said in a low voice, "I can't see it."

Qin Muqiu heard the words and said quickly: "Jump." After saying that, the two jumped into the Yuluo River beside him, while Hongfeng galloped along the road beside the river.

Chehe Camp.

Zhao Qingming stood outside the handsome tent, staring into the distance without saying a word.

It was past noon, and Qin Muqiu and Zhao Duanwu hadn't arrived yet. The soldiers waiting in the county town sent a message saying that the two had passed through Nantang, but hadn't passed through the county town. They hadn't been seen since Nantang.

If there is any change in the itinerary, Zhao Duanwu will definitely send a message.

The two did not arrive as promised, there is only one possibility, and that is something happened.

"Things may not be so bad." Zhan Xun stood beside Zhao Qingming, and said, "Maybe there is something delayed on the road, maybe we will arrive before dark."

"If you don't believe it yourself, why bother to comfort me?" Zhao Qingming said.

Zhan Xun sighed when he heard the words, and heard Zhao Qingming say: "If it's not enough in another hour, I will pick them up myself."

Zhan Xun knew he couldn't persuade him, so he didn't waste his time talking.

Fortunately, the situation is still stable now, even if Zhao Qingming is not in the army, it will not have much impact.

Just when the two were silent, a soldier came running from afar and said, "Hong Feng is here."

Zhao Qingming was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Who is the person who came with Hongfeng?" Zhan Xun asked hurriedly.

The soldier also looked puzzled, and said: "Only Hong Feng came alone, there was no one else."

Zhan Xun was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly looked at Zhao Qingming, only to see that the other party turned around and went into the house to take the sword, and took the longbow on his back, and said: "Twenty people who are good at riding and shooting and ten people who are good at scouting will follow. Let me go together, and set off after half a stick of incense."

Hong Feng stood far away, and when she saw Zhao Qingming, she approached affectionately.

Zhao Qingming took off the burden on Hong Feng, and seeing that the other party was safe and sound, he guessed that Qin Muqiu and Zhao Duanwu should not be in danger for a while, otherwise Hong Feng would definitely not leave the two of them and escape on their own.

Even after making this guess, he was still burning with anxiety.

I just wish I could set off immediately, without daring to delay for a moment.
