Marching No. 30 on the [-]th, Han Mochu and Gu Xiu cleaned up the small rebel forces along the way, and occupied a small tribe named Chuanhe on the left wing of the main camp of the Heishui Department in Mohe according to the original plan, and used it as a base Officially set up camp.Although the terrain here is dangerous, it is backed by a cliff.But because of such a dangerous place, it is most suitable to make a fuss when breaking through.

When the camp was completed, Gu Xiu sent an order to start a fire and slaughter the sheep immediately. During the march for more than a month, the whole army hardly had a single hot meal.Guarding the newly completed camp, the army finally breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

The steaming hot mutton soup came out of the pot, and the whole barracks was filled with the unique fragrance of mutton. Song Yu was the first in the front row, and pulled the bowl full of mutton into the bowl brought by Master Huotoujun and him. , And reached out and grabbed four white buns.

Song Yu's actions immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the people behind him, and a black-faced cavalry lined up behind Song Yu shouted: "Little white face, why do you take so much?"

"Don't talk nonsense, this is for His Highness!" Song Yu cast a sideways glance, put all the food into a tray, and held it firmly in his hand.

"Yo? It's for His Highness again? Why don't you be a pawn and lead the horse with His Highness and always go to His Highness's side? You will serve tea and water in a while, and come to deliver food in a while. Are you joining the army or serving as a maid for others?" ?”

"I don't think he wants to be His Highness's servant girl. Seeing his face like this, I'm afraid he is holding back to be His Highness's concubine!"

Carrying the tray, Song Yu quickly walked away from the crowd amidst the laughter of the crowd, and came straight to the tent where Gu Xiu was.

Xiong Hu stood guard in front of the camp with a big knife in his arms, and when he saw Song Yu coming over, he stretched out his hand to stop him: "What are you doing here?"

"Bring food to His Highness." Song Yu sighed and looked at the big brown bear in front of him: "Old bear, don't act like you don't know me every time."

"Then His Highness asked me to come and ask, and he never said you are special." Xiong Hu scratched the back of his head foolishly, and lifted the curtain with Song Yu.

Gu Xiu and Han Mochu in the camp were still in armor, without any slack.At this time, Han Mochu was starting to sort out the battle report with the king during the 37th day of the march, taking stock of the remaining food, wounded soldiers, and battle damage.

Gu Xiu sat across from Han Mochu, studying ink sticks with others without saying a word, and collected and sorted out the written pages.

"Your Highness, Han Canjun, it's time to eat." Song Yu lightly placed the tray beside their table.

Gu Xiu raised his head in response, and Han Mochu also put the penholder in his hand on the edge of the inkstone: "Your Highness, let's eat."

Song Yu watched Gu Xiu put the large bowl of mutton soup in front of Gu Xiu graciously. The bowl was full of mutton, and the bottom of the soup could hardly be seen. Seeing this, Gu Xiu became serious: "Who told you to put all the meat in my bowl?"

"Yes...it's the last general himself." Song Yu was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what was wrong with him.

"You gave me all the meat, what did you let the soldiers eat?"

"The last general feels that His Highness has worked hard to lead the army... so he made his own decision..."

"I'm working hard? Generals and soldiers walk the same road when marching and fighting. They are also going through life and death. Who is more precious than the other?" Gu Xiu's tone was extremely serious, his eyes were cold and determined, and he had no sympathy to talk about: "Is there any reason for you?" Yes, I don't care about your private change of post, since you are a pawn, then just do your best, and don't put your mind on these trifles that are in vain."

"The last general...the last general knows his mistake." Song Yu lowered his head, bent his knees, and knelt down in front of Gu Xiu.

"Okay, now take out this bowl of broth, and then go to the front of the camp to get the ten army sticks, and set your mind right from now on." Gu Xiu had a cold face, showing no mercy.

"Yes, the general will go to receive the punishment." Song Yu walked out with the bowl of warm broth, no one paid attention to his red eyes.

After Song Yu left, Han Mochu took a Xuanruan white flour steamed bun and handed it to Gu Xiu, and said with a soft smile, "Your Highness, were you too strict just now?"

"Master thinks, is this harsh? The military discipline is like this. This little soldier has already done things that violated the rules several times by relying on his acquaintance with me in the new barracks. If he is not severely punished this time, I will not do this general." Gu Xiu said He took a bite of the steamed bun.

"What if today's bowl of broth was brought by the minister?" Han Mochu also picked up a steamed bun, broke half of it and put it into his mouth.

"Try it." Gu Xiu replied without hesitation: "But I know, Master will understand what I mean, and won't hold grudges against me for it."

Han Mochu reached out and touched Gu Xiu's forehead, his brows and eyes curved like a crescent moon: "Your Highness, you really have grown up."

In the afternoon, Han Mochu and Gu Xiukuan went to Chongjia, and arranged for him to sleep peacefully in the tent for a while.Holding a bottle of wound medicine alone, he came to the barracks where the pawns were located in the back camp.

It was time for the soldiers to be trained. In the entire barracks, only Song Yu, who had been beaten, was lying on the couch in a thin coat, hugging a pillow, and hugging his shoulders with his hands.

Just now, he returned to the Huotou army's barracks with disheveled sheep soup, and received ten batons in front of everyone. Everyone laughed at him as wishful thinking. No matter how miserable it is.

Han Mochu took the wound medicine and placed it next to Song Yu's pillow, straight to the point: "I don't care what you think about your highness right now, I hope you can understand that as a general, it is impossible for your highness to respond to you in wartime." You are a man who joined the army. You are here to serve your country. Anything else is not something you should think about at the moment. Your Highness punished you today based on military discipline. I will treat everyone equally. I hope you don’t feel resentful because of this, if you feel resentful because of resentment, you’d better weigh your own weight and don’t make fun of your own head.”

"Yes, thank you Han Canjun for your care. The general knows he made a mistake and dare not feel resentment."

Song Yu buried his head very low, and held the medicine bottle that Han Mochu sent in his hand. In fact, he didn't hear a word of Han Mochu's words in his heart.

At this time, Song Yu had only one thought in his mind, that is, sooner or later, he would be like this Han Mochu, able to stand upright and dignified beside Gu Xiu.

On the ninth day of the camp, the army of the Great Zhou and the vanguard of the Heishui Department finally had their first confrontation.

The barbarians of the Black Water Department are born with harsh living conditions, and everyone seems to have not given up their animal nature. They are extremely barbaric, and they are desperate to fight.

The vanguard troops led by Gao Sheng had only just shown their heads, and they were almost flattened by those blackwater barbarians who were familiar with the terrain. If it weren't for the rockets made by Han Mochu in advance, it would be very difficult to even break through.

Don't worry about this ten feet, even the aura of successors has been weakened.The barbarian army of the Blackwater Department attacked wave after wave, and the garrison of the Great Zhou Dynasty lost six out of ten battles.

If it weren't for the dangerous terrain and those powerful crossbows, the group of black water barbarians would have attacked them long ago.

However, if the barbarians couldn't get up, they couldn't get down either.It was a stalemate for nearly two months.

After June, the border area of ​​Mohe didn't warm up. Mohe was dry and rainless, and the ice and snow melted after the temperature warmed up. The water source seven miles away from their camp was a tributary of the river. At this time, it gradually entered the dry season. If it is July, they can't break through , then the army of 10,000+ people will be trapped here to death.

At dawn, Gu Xiu, who had not slept all night, guarded the sand table, not even aware that the candle was about to go out.

"Your Highness, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Now that you are still undefeated, why do you have this look?" Han Mochu lit the candle again, and the dim light of the fire reflected on Gu Xiu's handsome face.

A 15-year-old boy with deep and lonely eyes.

"My mother has never been defeated." Gu Xiu's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about a rumored outsider.

General Yunhui Yunyao was the first female general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also the first ever victorious general.Her talent for leading the army was also fully demonstrated by Gu Xiu.

Han Mochu couldn't figure it out, how could such a woman, who was supposed to be like the scorching sun, be so easily defeated by an affair with her son and daughter, so that being trapped in the Northern Wilderness and even dying was a crime to be punished.

"Your Highness, General Yun Hui also fought against Mohe in the past and also fell into a bitter battle. It was not His Highness's fault that he lost once."

"It's my fault. I didn't think carefully. I should have thought twice before going to war. How could I forget about the river?" Gu Xiu rubbed his sore eyelids and raised his eyes to meet Han Mochu's. , Zheng said: "However, thank you for calling my mother a general, thank you for remembering that she was a general."

The sincerity in Gu Xiu's eyes made Han Mochu almost lose his sense of proportion.All these years, he never told Gu Xiu the truth about how he was close to him.Because he didn't want Gu Xiu to feel that he approached him just for a little kindness, and he didn't want Gu Xiu to live with the burden of counting the days and not knowing when the debt would be settled.

"Your Highness, in fact, in my mind, His Highness's mother is definitely not the kind of little girl who lives in the harem."

"Why?"

"Because of Your Highness." Han Mochu said with a warm smile, "Your Highness is proud, generous, benevolent, intelligent, knowledgeable, upright and sensible. So I can know what kind of mother His Highness has just by looking at His Highness."

"I'm not that good." Gu Xiu's eyes sank, and he looked back at Han Mochu: "Right now, we should first think about how to get out of trouble."

"In my opinion, this frontal attack is bound to be disadvantageous. The only way is to break through from the two wings to the rear of the Heishui army, cut off their food and retreat, and then break through with the natural danger." Han Mochu took a small flag and planted it in Heishui On a hill behind the barracks: "If the army can encircle here, it can cut off most of the troops of the Heishui barracks, and there is a main river here, surrounded by dense forests, and the army can rest here for the next day. "

"This method is good, but there is no opportunity for combat. Moreover, if the army is divided into two groups, and the guards in the camp are weak, if there is a strong attack, I am afraid that they will fall."

"Then let's sing the empty city plan to those barbarians, light up the lights and light the beacon smoke, so that they will be afraid."

"Master, Acton is not Wu Tumu, he has deep scheming, I'm afraid this method can't hide it from him." Gu Xiu frowned and said, "Since it's an empty city plan, who will be Kong Ming?"

"Of course it's up to the minister to do it. Although Acton has a deep mind, the more he is such a thoughtful person, the less he dares to take risks rashly. As long as His Highness leaves [-] troops to fight with the minister, His Highness will fight with Xun Xun for the rest. The old general split into two groups and broke through from the left and right wings of the Heishui Department. If it goes well, the battle will only take ten days." Han Mochu paused and said, "Your Highness, I trust you."

Gu Xiu recalculated Han Mochu's deployment in his heart, raised his eyes and said solemnly: "I also believe you."
