"Ishii Road on the east side of Beimang Mountain."

Beiyan's Xiazhai land.

Xiao Gui got up immediately, took his long spear, and ordered: "The cavalry will follow me to attack the Beiyan camp!"

In the dark night, a group of elite cavalry, like a swimming dragon, slid out without a sound in the midst of a scuffle.

On Shijing Road, the cold moon is like a hook, covering the deserted Beiyan Camp.

Beiyan dispatched almost all of its forces to attack Xiao Gui's camp. After learning that Xiao Gui's troops were divided into three groups, the troops were scattered and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack at night and capture the camp of the Chinese Army in one fell swoop.

But he didn't expect that Xiao Guiben just bluffed a shot,? The so-called division of soldiers into three groups was to induce the other party to rob the camp, but in fact the camp was empty, and probably only Xiao Gui's head was more valuable.

When the enemy actually came,? Notify the other two groups? Encircled and counterattacked the opponent's camp.

Therefore, Xiao Gui easily captured Beiyan's camp with little effort, looting their food, grass and supplies.

Before dawn, the troops from the camp of the Chinese Army gradually gathered. They had just gone through a hard battle, and they were all covered in dirt and blood.

Xiao Gui raised his hand to let them rest on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers who did not participate in the battle of the camp began to count the soldiers, horses, food, grass and weapons robbed from the camp of Beiyan.

In this battle, although Xiao Gui also lost some soldiers and horses, his gains far outweighed his losses, and it was a beautiful victory.

At this moment, Gao Shen Xian rode his horse.

He is in charge of the food and grass supervision of the three-way march. At this time, the three armies are united, and he should be back.

But at this time, his face was cold and serious, and he didn't have the slightest hint of joy in winning the battle.

"emperor."

Xiao Guizheng led the men to pull out the corpses of the enemy soldiers one by one, and threw them into the deep pit, intending to bury them on the spot.

Seeing that his expression was different, he immediately stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gao Chenxian was always calm, but at this moment he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the [-] grains we transported from Longzhong in the northern border are gone."

Gone?

Xiao Gui narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

From Beiman Mountain to attack Beiyan, the grain road is taken from Longzhong, because Longzhong is close to the important town in the north, and it is well connected and convenient for transportation.

More importantly, this road is the most central hinterland of the northern border, unless the army led by Xiao Gui is wiped out, it is impossible for Beiyan to advance one step into Longzhong.

If it advances into Longzhong, it means that the northern border is dead.

Gao Chenxian took a deep breath, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"The last general... The last general is not clear. After the [-] grains left Longzhong, the last general has been following up, but after last night, he has not received a letter. Just now the grain guard came to the front line crying bitterly. , Said that the night before yesterday, the soldiers who took turns guarding took a nap, and [-] grains and grass disappeared. There was really no sound at all."

Xiao Gui looked at him coldly, his eyes were deep, as if he wanted to pierce him.

However, he did not speak out to blame.

In the past two years of fighting in the south and the north, he saw back and forth on the line of life and death. He is very clear about the abilities of these generals.

Gao Shenxian is a meticulous person who will not make mistakes for no reason.

"It must not be Beiyan. It is impossible for Beiyan to stretch out her hand so long. We haven't noticed it yet." Gao Chenxian tried his best to calm himself down and analyze the situation.

The northern border is barren, and the two years of fighting have been exhausting. It is not easy to raise [-] grain and grass. Once it is lost, let alone fighting now, even if the food cannot be supplied during the withdrawal, it is also very dangerous.

Xiao Gui ignored him, turned around and blew a whistle, calling his own snow horse, and turned on his back.

"Now is not the time to talk about what went wrong and quickly withdraw troops."

He looked calm, paused, and continued: "Longzhong hides, withdraw from the Longzhong official road."

Gao Chenxian slowly came to his senses.

It is indeed necessary to withdraw the army now, otherwise, when Beiyan realizes that their food and grass are unsustainable, they will inevitably fight to the death, and it will be difficult to withdraw again.

A victory turned into a dangerous battle in an instant.

"Your Majesty, what about Beiyan's supplies?" A lieutenant stepped forward and asked.

Xiao Guidao: "Take away the grain and grass, don't worry about the baggage."

The army was mighty, and they wanted to retreat to the official road in Longzhong in a hurry. Once they arrived in Longzhong, they would be safe.

However, before withdrawing for twenty miles, a forward sentry looked panicked and rode his horse to report.

"Your Majesty! A large enemy army has been spotted ahead! Several hills are covered with flags."

Everyone's expressions changed.

This means that it cannot be withdrawn.

Gao Shenxian and Lin Yun looked at Xiao Gui at the same time, he was their backbone.

Xiao Gui was silent for a moment, then clamped his stomach, "You guys wait here."

After he said a word, he rode his horse up a slope on the left side alone, turned a few turns, and climbed up a small hill.

After a while, everyone saw him coming down again.

With a calm expression on his face, he said to everyone: "Rush out! The flag on the top of the mountain is suspicious soldiers, and there are not so many enemy troops."

Gao Chenxian and the others reacted quickly.

yes!Beiyan attacked the camp last night, and they almost came out with all their nests. It is impossible to return to the army so soon.

"rush!"

The infantry held their shields at the front and back, and the cavalry in the middle began to charge forward.

Xiao Gui fell behind, suddenly turned his head and said to Gao Shenxian in a low voice: "If you can't get out later, you lead a team and break out while the chaos is chaotic, and I will cover you."

Gao Chenxian was taken aback.

"What about the emperor?"

"I can't get out for the time being, and I won't die." Xiao Gui seemed to be quite sure, "You go back to the northern border from the Longzhong official road, and mobilize soldiers and horses across the Ming River to rescue, remember, don't move the soldiers and horses in the northern border. "

Gao Chenxian was silent. It took a lot of time to come and go. It is really hard to predict whether the current food and grass can last until then.

"Your Majesty, the last general will stay and cover the emperor's withdrawal."

Xiao Gui straightened his waist, his eyes fell on the front, and his tone could not be questioned, "I am not discussing with you."

He is the backbone of the entire army, and if he retreats at this time, the army's morale will inevitably be weakened, and it will be destroyed without attack.

Gao Chenxian had no choice but to obey orders.

There were actually not many enemy troops blocked on the hill ahead, but because they were condescending and occupying a favorable position, flying arrows and rocks fell together, barrels of kerosene poured down, and thick smoke billowed.

Xiao Gui's men and horses fought and advanced, and every step was difficult.

Two hours passed, and the army had traveled less than ten miles.

At this time, not far away, suddenly people were galloping, and there was a lot of voices.

Sure enough, as Xiao Gui expected, the men and horses that Beiyan attacked the camp last night returned to the army.

Xiao Gui resolutely shouted: "Gao Shenxian! Hurry up and leave!"

However, at this time, it was too late.

Beiyan's army seemed to have expected it, and quickly surrounded the exit at the end of the mountain road. Soldiers and horses spread out layer by layer, stretching endlessly.

The sun was setting, and after a long confrontation between the two armies, they finally calmed down.

Xiao Gui couldn't get out here, and was trapped at the foot of Beiman Mountain.

Although Beiyan had a favorable position, they were unable to wipe them out for a while.

There are clusters of bonfires every now and then, on the mountain road in the dark night, like will-o'-the-wisps flickering and extinguishing, which makes people panic.

After nearly a day of fierce fighting today, everyone was exhausted, and it was too late to go down to the village, so each battalion fell asleep by their bonfires.

The army was silent and morale was very low.

"Your Majesty." Gao Chenxian was filled with guilt, and knelt down on one knee, "I will eventually be convicted."

Now everyone is trapped here, the news is blocked, and it is really impossible to go to the sky or enter the earth.

The bonfire was beeping and beeping, and the flames were reflected on everyone's faces, making them dazzling.

Xiao Gui said nothing.

He will not easily blame his subordinates now, and now is not the time to pursue responsibility.

Even so, it doesn't mean he won't be angry.

Li Ling winked and asked Gao Shenxian to go down to rest, while he added some firewood and handed a bowl of tea to Xiao Gui.

Even though he was in a desperate situation at this moment, for some reason, Li Ling always felt that the emperor would not die here.

Maybe it's because Xiao Gui has experienced too many dangers since he was a child, but he always seems to have a very hard life, and he can always turn danger into safety in critical moments.

His calm and calm attitude, to a certain extent, made Gao Shenxian, Lin Yun and other generals rushing to the front feel ashamed.

"Your majesty, I feel that even if the prime minister is here today, he may not be able to go out."

Hearing the word "Prime Minister", Xiao Gui's eyes darkened suddenly.

Li Ling saw it, but remained calm. On the surface, he was comforting Xiao Gui, but in fact he wanted to remind him, didn't you want to find Wen Wujue?No one has been found yet. If you die here, don't even think about seeing you again.

Li Ling knows how to hit a snake and hit seven inches.

Gao Shenxian, Lin Yun and the others were all a little apprehensive, they secretly looked at Xiao Gui's face and dared not speak.

After a while, Xiao Gui finally spoke.

"I have a solution."

Everyone looked at him in unison.

But Xiao Gui did not point it out, "However, it will take some time."

Everyone: "..."

After a while, we will run out of food!

He didn't say anything, and everyone didn't dare to ask, they could only speculate in their hearts.

In the early winter, I am pregnant ⊙┲ marsh

The fine snow is falling, like catkins all over the sky, blown up by the wind, fluttering and hitting the ridge of the roof soundlessly.

Wen Wujue stood by the window, frowning slightly, as if he was deep in thought.

Wen Bo pushed the door open and came in with a letter in his hand.

His eyes lit up, "Is it Shen Xian's letter?"

Wen Bo sighed, "No, it's Master Tang's letter."

Recently, he asked almost every day if there was a letter from Gao Shenxian, and Wen Bo's ears felt callused.

"My lord, they are fighting now, so they must have no time to write letters."

Wen Wujue shook his head, he had been in the army, no one knew better than him.

No matter how busy you are, you can't even have time to write a letter.

The sentry in the army takes turns to investigate day and night, as long as it is written, it can be passed on.

But now there is no news at all, and he is really uneasy.

Besides, it was still in Beimang Mountain.

Wen Bo also had nothing to do, he could only comfort him: "My lord, don't worry, that dog... ahem, the emperor has fought so many battles in the past two years, with victories and defeats, and nothing happened to him."

What he said was nice, but Wen Wujue ignored it.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Uncle Wen, prepare the carriage, let's go to Longzhong Official Road to have a look."

If he didn't go and see for himself, he was really worried.

The author has something to say: Did you not see the timeline of the last chapter very clearly?

In general, the Prime Minister and Xiao Gui have been separated for two years. In the past two years, Xiao Gui has strengthened his military strength in the north, but sent his troops to the south, disintegrating the power of the aristocratic family and regaining Bianjing.And Beiyan invaded the northern border while Xiao Gui was going south. Xiao Gui returned to the north after finishing the war in the south.
