Bright moon out of Tianshan

The soldiers and horses of the Eastern Qi Dynasty walked for a day, before it was dark, the soldiers and horses of Zhao State followed, Cheng Qiufeng in the front team, and Zhao Yuancai in the rear team led the Imperial Guards from the capital personally, approaching in the shape of an airfoil.When Gao Huai and Nie Shihuan heard the news, Nie Shihuan said: "Your Highness, the top priority is to send a small group of troops to block the army that harassed Zhao Yuancai, and allow us enough time to withdraw our troops. Otherwise, we will be outnumbered and in great danger. We It’s hard to get out of the siege, and the entire army cannot be wiped out here. You have to go quickly, or the time will really be too late.”

Gao Huai frowned and said, "It's really embarrassing to be chased like this!" Seeing Xiao Jian not far away, he said, "Xiao Jian, bring your picture!"

Xiao Jian presented the map again, Gao Huai looked at it carefully for a long time, and said: "Zhao Yuan collected so many soldiers and horses to bully me, his defense must be loose elsewhere, should we take the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and put his Soldiers and horses drawn away?"

Nie Shihuan immediately praised: "This plan is feasible! If there is a sneak attack, it is best to go to Luzhou. Zhao Yuancai can't lose that place! But is it too late? Call the generals and discuss the matter quickly!" After a while, the news has spread again, Zhao Guo The vanguard troops are only more than [-] miles away from here, all of them are excellent cavalry, and they can come over in half an hour at most.

The generals suffered a lot of damage in breaking through this time, and the rest of them gathered together without hindrance. Nie Shihuan said his plan. Luzhou is located in Shangdang County in the southeast of Shanxi. Shangdang is known as the spine of the world. , Bingzhou, it is also called the throat of the state of Jin". The situation is dangerous and has been fought by military strategists since ancient times.If he didn't fall for the trick, occupying Luzhou would pose a serious threat to Zhao State, and would also be of great benefit to Dong Qi.But this trip is full of dangers. First, Luzhou must also be guarded by soldiers and horses. Whether it can be taken quickly is a problem.Secondly, Zhao Yuancai really organized a large army to chase after him. The people who made the surprise attack were attacked by enemies, and they were even more dangerous.

The generals knew that this strategy might be feasible, but they all remained silent. It is not appropriate for anyone to go to such a mission that is almost death.Gao Huai said: "After General Yang and I joined forces, we immediately organized soldiers and horses to meet them. Now that we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. If we don't use surprise troops, it will be very difficult for us to retreat."

Han Lin was standing far away, but at this moment he suddenly rushed over and knelt down and said, "Third Highness, the last general made a big mistake last time, which caused the army to be besieged and severely damaged. His Highness was magnanimous and did not punish the latter. This time I am willing to lead troops to raid Luzhou, and if I can make up for my mistakes, I will thank His Highness for not killing me."

Gao Huai looked at him, and said lightly, "I didn't blame you last time. General Nie and I made a mistake in judgment. This time...you should not go." Hearing his cold and distant tone, Han Lin knew that he didn't trust him very much. The ability, the regret in the heart is extremely embarrassing, had to retreat to the side.But as soon as Han Lin took the lead, all the soldiers began to volunteer.Before Gao Huai had time to speak, Gu Yong followed behind him while he was deliberating, his eyes kept turning to Xiao Jian who was beside him, and he suddenly interjected: "Your Highness, I heard that the Emperor of Zhao State said something. Come on, if General Xiao is given to him, he will let me wait for a way out. Is this true?"

Xiao Jian froze, anger filled his chest in an instant, he did not expect that he would mention Zhao Yuancai's shameless joke in public.Gao Huai was also stunned, and looked back at Gu Yong, and said, "Master Gu, what do you mean?"

Gu Yong's words were convincing: "When the army is in danger, it is the best policy to exchange one person for everyone's safety. If General Xiao leads troops there, Zhao Yuancai will send troops to chase after hearing the news."

Gao Huai said: "Lord Gu, then Zhao Yuancai is just a joke, and Xiao Jian is nothing... a genius in the sky, what does Zhao Yuancai want him to do? You can't take it too seriously."

However, Gu Yong followed behind Gao Huai and insisted: "Third Highness, even if Zhao Yuancai is joking, it shows that he does have such intentions. As long as he can confuse him for a while, our army can wait for the opportunity. Besides, General Xiao The family background is not very clean, and the status is embarrassing, if you can use this opportunity to show your heartfeltness to the Eastern Qi Dynasty, General Xiao must be willing, right?"

Gao Huai knew that Gu Yong had resentment towards Xiao Jian because of the tiger talisman, and he deliberately played tricks.But in terms of reasoning, Xiao Jian has high martial arts skills, quick response, and decisive killing, so he is the most suitable candidate.But at this moment, he was really not willing to let Xiao Jian go, so he flicked his sleeves and said: "Master Gu, you are a civil servant, and you may not be proficient in this march, so let's say a few words less."

Xiao Jian finally came back to his senses, and said loudly: "Third Highness, let me go. As long as Third Highness believes that I will not do treasonous things as a second minister, then let me go."

Gao Huai looked at him speechlessly, not knowing what to do for a while, but seeing Xiao Jian's determined face, he could only say: "General Nie, what do you think?"

In fact, in Nie Shihuan's mind, Xiao Jian is also the most suitable candidate. Nie Shihuan has been loyal to the Eastern Qi Dynasty all his life, and he can only consider things from the perspective that is most beneficial to the overall situation. He can see that Gao Huai's treatment of Xiao Jian seems to be slightly different from others. In this situation, he could only choose to turn a blind eye, and said in a deep voice: "Third Highness, the general thinks that Mr. Gu's words are reasonable, and Xiao Jian is the most suitable candidate!"

The night is coming again, and the enemy army is approaching step by step, imminent and urgent.Xiao Jian sternly rejected Lin Zaichun's suggestion to go with him, and led his subordinates to kneel down on one knee to Gao Huai and Nie Shihuan, performing the Eastern Qi military salute.The three thousand soldiers behind him, each with a young face, were all calm and solemn in the flickering firelight.After going here, the future is uncertain, and life and death are uncertain. Xiao Jian raised his head and said solemnly: "Your Highness, General Nie, we must take Luzhou and try to delay the time. I, Xiao Jian, will never break my promise. Please You believe me!"

Gao Huai stepped forward, put his hands on Xiao Jian's ribs, pulled him up from the ground, and said in a low voice: "Follow me." He took him out of everyone's sight, and said, "Xiao Jian, We suffered a big loss in Linfen this time, and the third brother was frightened. I also blamed myself for being careless and not blaming others. In fact, I am really worried about letting others go, but you and I believe it. You must take care of yourself , if you make a mistake, not only can I not explain it to your brother Xiao Xiong, I... also can't explain it to myself. "

Xiao Jian looked at his gentle gaze, and his eyes suddenly became moist: "Third Brother, you must remember to send someone to meet me."

Gao Huai said: "Don't worry, when the arrangements here are in place, I'll pick you up when I calm down." He wrapped his left hand around Xiao Jian's tight and slender waist, Xiao Jian's body froze for a moment, trembling and The scorching heat quickly rose from the waist and rushed to the top of the head in an instant, and his face was flushed instantly.Gao Huai raised his right hand, and gently stroked his elegant and bright cheek with his fingers.Xiao Jian's thin lips trembled a few times, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, looking very embarrassed and shy: "Third brother, there are many people over there!"

Gao Huai smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "What are you afraid of so many people? Who dares to disobey and come to watch the fun? Xiaojian, it is a last resort to let you go this time. I have lost so much in my life that I have nothing now. But as long as I have something, I will try my best to give it to you, I treated you badly in the past, it was my fault, don't hate me, okay?"

Xiao Jian shook his head and said, "I never hated you." Gao Huai smiled, stroked the corner of his lips with his fingers, then leaned over, and kissed his lips. Xiao Jian's lips were cool and soft, with a very pleasant taste. Familiar, very wonderful, let him linger, intoxicated.Xiao Jian was infected and moved by his actions, and followed him with passion and blood, and he woke up after a while, struggled lightly, Gao Huai let him go, and said in a shy voice: "Go."

Xiao Jian didn't dare to look back, he got on his horse with three thousand officers and soldiers, roared away, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

This side of the Eastern Qi army took advantage of the night to retreat quickly, Gao Huai and Jiang Hulin Zaichun walked in the front together, and Nie Shihuan cut off the rear.During the walk, Gao Huai casually chatted with Jiang Hu. Jiang Hu talked about the fact that his tribe often suffered from sudden illnesses in the summer when they were in the mountains. Let's see how to prevent and treat diseases."

Lin Zaichun immediately nodded and agreed, "I'll go with you as soon as the fighting here is over." Jiang Hu was overwhelmed with surprise, so he rushed to strike up a conversation with Lin Zaichun.

Gao Huai looked at Jiang Hu's clansmen beside him, and thought of Xiao Jian who was alone in the depths, and felt a little pain in his heart.In a trance, I always feel that there is a pair of eyes staring at me fiercely from a distance behind.He remained calm and turned around slowly.Soldiers from the Eastern Qi Dynasty lined up behind them, nothing unusual could be seen.

Gao Huai has been through the rivers and lakes, through wind and waves, and he is much more sensitive to danger than ordinary people.This time, I thought it was because of my defeat and nervousness that I became paranoid.While he was wondering, he heard the chaotic sound of the left wing of the army. It turned out that the vanguard of Zhao State had already caught up and launched an attack quickly.The soldiers and horses on the left were broken up by the cavalry, and the general who led the team shouted loudly and organized the soldiers and horses to meet the enemy.

At this moment, suddenly there was a series of whizzing sounds in the Dong Qi soldiers' ranks, and hundreds of crossbows were fired at the same time, and they all shot at Gao Huai and Jiang Hu with a murderous aura soaring to the sky.Gao Huai was paying attention to the battle with the enemy. This sudden turn of events was hasty, but his reaction was extremely quick. He got up from his horse in an instant, and the long sword was unsheathed in mid-air. It was as bright as an eyebrow, and he drew a clear and gorgeous Guanghua blocked the incoming feather arrows for Jiang Hu.

The feathered arrows were dense like locusts, coming fiercely, Gao Huai's right shoulder felt hot, and a feathered arrow pierced through his shoulder. His figure froze in the air, and then fell to the ground.When Jiang Hu saw the sudden change, he immediately summoned his clansmen to respond to the enemy.Before it could be organized, the second round of feather arrows had already been shot. Seeing that Gao Huai was injured, Lin Zaichun hurriedly shouted, "Ah Jin, block it!"

The five heavenly kings agreed, and their weapons shot out one after another, with a clear light, blocking the feather arrows.Seeing the arrow coming, Gao Huai swayed, and snatched it like a ghost among the chaotic crowd. The long sword stabbed out and rested on a person's neck, and shouted coldly: "Who are you? ?”

The man raised his head and stared at him bitterly, his eyes were full of hatred and hatred, he suddenly reached out and tore off a thin layer of human skin mask on his face, and shouted: "Gao Huai, look who I am!"
