The gentleman's way

Very worried.You must know that the Zhenbei Army did not bring food and grass when they pursued, and it was impossible to go deep into the grassland, and they should return in a day at most.

After nightfall, there was no news from there, but the sky became darker and darker, and gradually snowdrops began to fall. The bad weather prevented the Zhenbei Army from pursuing, and gradually some troops came back. Although the credit is very important, but If you get lost in the grassland on a snowy day without food and grass, it is no different from courting death.

Jun Changning couldn't help but returned to the city, but Yan Hong was not seen in the team that came back again and again. The Qi family stretched out their hands to put a thick cloak on him, and said in a low voice, "Young master, don't worry, General Yan has guarded Qinghe Prefecture for many years. , must know the pros and cons of it."

Naturally, Yan Hong should know, but he was seriously injured, and if an accident happened, who would be able to prevent it.

As teams of people came back but Yan Hong was never seen, Jun Changning's worry reached the extreme. After a closer look, the team that has not returned so far, except for Yan Hong's team, is actually only Kang Junwang's subordinates General Zhang, Jun Changning only felt that his eyes were dark. Although King Kang did not do anything like the king of Duan to collude with the enemy and treason, their fear of Yan Hong was obvious, not only because Yan Hong was the leader of the Northern Army At the same time, he was one of those who were eligible to contend for the throne.

Jun Changning pondered for a while, after the defeat of Hu Nu this time, Yan Hong's name is destined to become famous, and his prestige in the army may be even better than that of the Zhenbei Hou at the time, no matter whether Yan Hong fights or not In the eyes of those people, he is already very dreadful, and if Yan Hong dies directly in this battle, no matter how outstanding he is in front of him, he will end up making wedding clothes for others.

Jun Changning only felt chills all over his body. He found Qin Huaiming and told his guess. not much.This is different from the behavior of King Duanjun. If it is collaborating with the enemy and treason, most of the soldiers will stand against him, but if it is a dispute between the crown princes, who knows which side these generals will lean towards, even if it is not the King of Kangjun and the sages. The king of the county, apart from these two, is Yan Hong's biological father, and the power of Prince Jin probably does not support him.

Jun Changning only gritted his teeth and said, "General Qin, please send me a team, and let General Sun follow me to find General Yan." The General Sun that Jun Changning was talking about was the bearded man.After so many days of observation, Qin Huaiming is really convinced and single-minded towards Yan Hong. Others have their own thoughts more or less, but this bearded man is the most obvious one who doesn't know how to hide. He admires Yan Hong, and Willing to use it for him.

Qin Huaiming glanced at him, knowing that the private friendship between the two was different from ordinary people, so he agreed with him after thinking about it.He also knows about General Sun's people, at least they won't be stabbing in the back!

A team of only a few hundred people quickly left Qinghe Prefecture and headed towards the grassland. At the beginning, Yan Hong was chasing Commander Hu Nu, so he shouldn't have deviated from the general direction.

The corpses of the two warring parties were occasionally seen along the way. Hu Nu's corpses were more than those of the Zhenbei Army. It can be seen that the Zhenbei Army had the advantage at the beginning.Jun Changning frowned slightly. Yan Hong was a very cautious person. He must understand the reason why the poor should not chase after them. How could it be possible to go deep into the grassland when they did not bring enough food and grass, let alone when the weather looked like it was going to have a big snowstorm? , the temperature here will freeze to death.

The original guess was even more accurate when encountering the elite troops who were supposed to follow Yan Hong. The damage to this team was not great, but they lost their leader!And when he saw Jun Changning's team, the commander showed a look of surprise: "Why is Lord Jun here?"

Jun Changning's face darkened, and he asked, "Where's General Yan?"

The man's face changed drastically, and he asked strangely: "Didn't the general go back a long time ago? On the way, his old injury relapsed, so a hundred soldiers sent him back first. We continued to pursue Commander Hu Nu, and now we have won the item Get on the head!"

Jun Changning didn't have the heart to look at the so-called head, his expression changed and he said, "There is no sign of General Yan in the city, please follow me to investigate together, we must find General Yan."

That team also knew how powerful it was, and felt a little regretful at the moment. When the general returned, they shouldn't have continued to march for credit, leading to the current scene.

If Yan Hong really had to go back to the city due to a relapse of the old injury, it can be seen that the injury should have been more serious at that time. Otherwise, with his character, it is impossible for him to agree to return to the city first as the commander. Originally, returning to the city should be very safe After all, Hu Nu has already retreated, and there is no one who can stop him along the way, but there is an anomaly like General Zhang.Even if Yan Hong didn't trust him, he probably wouldn't have thought that General Zhang would kill him.

"This is Guard Xu!" A person exclaimed suddenly, and when he approached, he looked familiar, but when Jun Changning came over, he only paid attention to Yan Hong's figure, but he didn't pay attention to the body of Zhenbei Army.Yan Hong's elite soldiers could naturally recognize that this man was the corps leader who sent General Yan back.

Seeing the wound on the man's body, and looking at the corpses around him, they were all in the uniform of the Zhenbei Army. They could only recognize a few of them, and the others were definitely not those who sent Yan Hong back. Jun Changning knew that General Zhang really made a half-way interception.If it wasn't for him not to worry about coming out to take a look, when he went back to clean up these corpses, they would have no evidence even if they suspected it.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and a white layer had formed on the grassland. Jun Changning only chased in that direction, but gradually the direction of the corpses appeared in different places. It can be seen that Yan Hong knew that his troops were not enough, so he shot They were not sure about the idea of ​​dividing their troops for help or fleeing. They were not sure which road was Yan Hong's last choice, so they had to divide their troops and continue to chase.

The wind in the grassland was icy cold, and it was even more difficult to find the traces left by those teams when there was something snowy at night. Jun Changning was sweating anxiously in such a cold day, hating himself for not being able to go faster.Suddenly, Jun Changning stopped flattering abruptly, looked forward and saw a small group of people rushing towards this side, when he got closer, his heart sank, that person was none other than General Zhang, he is doing well now Does the appearance here prove that Yan Hong has...

General Zhang didn't know that his actions had been discovered, and when he encountered a large number of people in the desperate situation, he immediately showed a look of surprise: "I don't know which general is in front of you. General Zhang, because he encountered the Hu people's elite soldiers and suffered heavy injuries, he was still there." General, please help!"

Jun Changning only felt a wave of anger rushing to his heart, jumped off the horse and stomped the man under his feet, and asked in a cold voice, "Where is General Yan?"

65. Sea of ​​snow is boundless

If it wasn't for the fact that he had to press Yan Hong's news from this population, Jun Changning really wanted to kill him with a knife.Could the righteousness of the nation be inferior to the domestic affairs of the Yan Dynasty? Did they never think that if the commander of the Zhenbei Army had an accident again at this time, not only the previous victory would be in vain, but the Hu Nu would have a chance to breathe. I will never catch such a good opportunity again.

For the first time, Jun Changning's dislike for those county kings reached the level of hatred. He secretly thought that if the descendants of these few ascended to the throne, the Yan Dynasty would not be said to be strong and powerful, but it would be better not to be invaded by the surrounding countries. Not bad.No wonder the emperor was reluctant to delegate power. None of these people are good successors. The only son of Prince Min, Yan Qi, who has the heart to serve the country, has a meek temper. He gnawed away the bones.

General Zhang apparently did not expect that the commander in chief he thought was actually Jun Changning. If it was someone else, he would still have a way to fool him, but this one has nothing to do with the county kings. Everyone knows that the number one scholar will be dispatched to the frontier Qin Guan is the ghost of those county kings. The most important thing is that this person has a very close relationship with General Yan Hong, and he is even willing to stand by Yan Hong when the future is uncertain, and bring Qin Guan's grain and grass over. , and looking at his performance now, it is obvious that he knows his plan.

Jun Changning smiled coldly, stabbed the knife directly into General Zhang's shoulder, and asked coldly, "I'll ask again, where is he?"

General Zhang still wanted to quibble, but Jun Changning didn't give him this chance, and almost cut his throat with a knife. This seemingly gentle and elegant No. [-] scholar actually wanted to kill him. Everyone around Yan Hong's confidant, General Zhang knew that Jun Changning had killed him directly at this time, and then only said that he died at the hands of Hu Nu, who would hold him accountable.

Compared with King Kang who is far away in the sky, his own life is more important. General Zhang said repeatedly: "I didn't harm General Yan. He is not far ahead. We met Hu Nu's team and lost to them." There were a lot of people, and then they got lost."

General Zhang's words were true and false, but Jun Changning didn't have the time to stay and torture him slowly. He just handed him over to the soldiers behind him to watch over him, and walked towards the direction General Zhang pointed out.

"Master, something looks wrong here!" The white snowflakes covered the original color of the grassland, but the strong smell of blood still made them feel a little ominous. Even if there were torches in the middle, it blocked most of their sight.

The soldiers who came with them were more familiar with this area, thought for a while and said, "Could we have reached the pit!"

Jun Changning frowned, the place where the so-called pit is located
