Su curtain has a cover

The spring equinox has just passed, and the wilderness outside the Great Wall is still a scene of midwinter.

A winding procession galloped under the sky, the sun was setting to the west, and the command to rest was issued from the front.

Set up camp and bury the pot for cooking.Those people have a clear division of labor, and their actions are concise and neat.

The inquiring scouts kept returning, bringing all kinds of news.

"General, turn over the Fairy Peak in front of you, and you will find the pasture where Neidu Royal Court is stationed."

Hearing this, the generals around couldn't hide their joy, Luo Zhongyi slapped his thigh fiercely: "His grandma's, it can be regarded as touching their hometown."

The usually calm Jia Er also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's time to call this way."

Isn't that right? After detouring from Suiyunguan, they followed the path of sending troops from Beiliang and picked several gathering places one after another.

Xia Houzhe was meditating on the map in his hand, and kept moving his fingers across various locations.

Luo Zhongyi chuckled: "I guess those grandchildren in Beiliang were taken aback. Didn't they want to break the cloud pass? Then give it to them! It's called—oh yes! Empty city plan!"

The person next to him rolled his eyes: "Luo Shortlegs, is this the same as the empty city plan? The empty city is to resist the enemy, and our empty city is to lure the enemy in!"

Luo Zhongyi waved his hands impatiently: "Are you annoying or not? What's more serious! Anyway, it's an empty city, can he call me or not?"

"Hey, You--"

As the sun sets, the afterglow sprinkles on the snow-capped mountains in front, as if covering it with a layer of gold.

Xia Houzhe looked up at the mountain in front of him.

Fairy Peak, this is what people from Dayuan say.In Beiliang, it has a more sacred name, translated into Dayuan language, that is - the Holy Land that bestows life.

In the legend of Beiliang, their ancestors drank wolf milk and were raised by wolves.So their totem is a wolf, and they believe that they are blessed by the wolf god.

The wolves that raised their ancestors came down from this mountain.

In the previous life, Xia Houzhe had never been to this place.As soon as he led the army to force Liexumi out of the Central Plains, he was seriously injured and then poisoned, and fell into a coma all day long.

When he woke up, it had been a long time, so long that many things had been settled.

Jiajiu told him that on the third day of his coma, someone came to issue an imperial decree, saying that Zheng Jin, the eldest son of the Zheng family, would take over the Changying Army.

Just when everyone was angry but didn't know what to do, Mr. Su directly refused to accept the imperial edict and detained Zheng Jin.

At that time, the seventh prince had just ascended the throne and became the new emperor. No one knew how he came to the throne, and no one knew whether Emperor Zhaohe was dead or alive.

Maybe the new emperor couldn't make a move, and wanted to clean up the few brothers who were still hopping around in Yecheng first.

Or maybe he was intimidated by Su Mu's gesture of turning his face without saying a word.All in all, the new emperor did not force the Changying army to obey the order, so the imperial decree that was issued but rejected was brought back to Yecheng by Zheng Jin without embarrassment.

And not long after, Liexumi made a comeback.

He came prepared.

During this period of time, Liexumi annexed Gaiqiu and Yege, unified Beiliang, and then reassembled 30 warriors as the king of Beiliang, and then used Yanzhou as a base to follow the Mijin Road to the Changying Army. Yanqiu charged straight at him.

At that time, Broken Cloud Light had long existed in name only, and was destroyed in the war.

From Mijin Road to Yanqiu, there will be many cities of Dayuan in the middle.But the strange thing is that where Lie Xumi passed by, the guards seemed blind, and they didn't even give a warning.

Just like that, the Beiliang army swaggered to fifty miles away from Yanqiu, and when they got there, the Changying Army's defenses discovered their traces.

At that time, Xia Houzhe was still in a coma and was in the critical period of expelling the poison.In the past, because they didn't want to directly quarrel with the imperial court, and in order to delay the time, they were consciously open-minded. The few generals in the Changying Army who could make decisions all went to the court to report on their duties at the request of the new emperor.

At the critical moment when the dragons had no leader, Su Mu stood up again, and led the crowd to fight a beautiful battle.

Su Mu's tactic was very simple, because Lie Xumi already knew that Xia Houzhe was in danger at the moment, and declared that he had already died of serious injuries, so as to boost morale.

So Su Mu simply made people wear Xia Houzhe's armor, and started the fight directly.

Perhaps Lie Xumi could tell it was a fake, but those Beiliang soldiers who were frightened by Xia Houzhe couldn't tell the difference.

In particular, those who acted as the vanguard were those who paid homage to Ge Yuqiu. They were gathered forcibly, but when they saw that the evil god was still alive, they lost their morale and fled in all directions.

Lie Xumi was blindfolded by hatred.In other words, he trusted the news given by others too much.

He thought that the current Changying Army had no generals and was exhausted after a long battle, it would be a great opportunity for him to avenge his shame.

However, Su Mu's battle not only broke up his army again, but also directly captured 10,000+ Beiliang soldiers.

Before the news reached Yecheng, Su Mu made a decision, he would lead the Changying Army to pursue Lie Xumi, regain Yanzhou and repeat the Mijindao.

When listening to Jiajiu's narration in the previous life, Xia Houzhe felt proud and sour in his heart.Because he knew that Su Mu would make that decision because he knew that the new emperor could no longer tolerate the long tasseled army.

Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to occupy Yanzhou first, so as to gain the initiative.

Su Mu, a frail scholar, persuaded the main general of the Changying Army who was in desperate situation by virtue of his superb courage and skills.Let them decide, follow Mr. Su, do it!

In his previous life, Xia Houzhe was very cowardly. Although he secretly liked Su Mu very much, he didn't dare to say it out.

The people in the Changying Army only knew that Su Mu and the Major General had a fateful friendship, but they didn't know that he was actually Xia Houzhe's fate.

The 15 Beiliang soldiers captured in Yanqiu became the biggest burden on the Changying Army's trek.

It is impossible to let the tiger go back to the mountain, but Dayuan has an ambiguous attitude. If the captives are handed over to them, they will probably appear in front of the battle again in a few days.

After conquering the Mijin Road, the food and grass of the Changying Army without the rear supply will be gone.It is not enough to feed oneself, and there is no reason to feed the enemy.Gradually, the army began to talk about it.

At this time, the Changying Army is already in the process of breaking the boat. They can have nothing, but they can't live without a solid military spirit.

So, Su Mu took the case and made a decision: 15 Beiliang prisoners were murdered on the spot.

It took a long time just to dig a hole.

This is a blood debt that Su Mu cannot get rid of.

Later, when Emperor Showa was restored and held accountable, this incident became a point that those scholar-bureaucrats insisted on.

Those people stood on a high moral high ground, condescending to sentence Su Mu to death.

Memories come to an abrupt end here.

The cold air, the snow-capped mountains.The lake at the foot of the mountain was still freezing, and the withered grass on both sides was crumbling.

Jia Er brought over the wine bag: "General, drink something to warm yourself up."

Xia Houzhe regained his senses, and when he took the wine bag, he suddenly found that after he came out of Suiyun Pass, these people stopped calling him "Lieutenant General" and started calling him "General".

In the past, in the army, whether it was the Changying Army or other places, they would call him "Major General" when they saw him.

In the eyes of those people, although Xia Houling had passed away, his son could only be called a major general.

Jia Er saw that he did not stop drinking even though he took it, so he looked at his expression and pondered: "General, are you worried about Mr. Su?"

Xia Houzhe paused.

Jiaer hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry, those left over there are all elites, and there are still several good fighters. And we have called all the way, the people of Beiliang know that their old nest is about to be raided, and they will definitely want to come back to help .”

"He doesn't need me to worry..." Xia Houzhe hooked his lips: "I was just thinking—"

He was just wondering if Ah Mu was worried about him.

Was Su Mu worried about him?

The answer is: no.

Because Su Mu is in a state of desperation right now, Gao Bin, the second prince raised by Emperor Zhaohe and Concubine Li Hui, passed away.

And he died very badly, he was touched to the bedside in the middle of the night and grinded to death bit by bit with a blunt knife.According to those who saw the scene, the room was covered in blood, and it was like purgatory on earth.

Su Mu made a decisive decision. Before the news reached Ye City, he quickly took over Huer City and the important supply fortresses along the route, and escorted those people who were incited at the beginning. The memorial written by Bin was sent to the capital at the same time.

What he wanted to convey was that Emperor Ruo Zhaohe was furious and wanted to investigate.Then, those conclusive things may affect Gao Bin's posthumous reputation.

But if the royal family quietly covered up this matter, then Gao Bin could still gain the reputation of being killed in battle.

All of this depends on how Emperor Zhaohe and Concubine Li Hui choose.

As for whether Gao Bin was really collaborating with the enemy and treasoning the country, or simply stupid, who has passed away, who can say for sure.

But no matter how he chooses, he must first hold the important city in his hands, so that he can deal with the worst situation.

Just as Su Mu had finished dealing with Gao Bi's matter, news came from the front that Xia Houzhe took his men back to Suiyun Pass.

Before he could be happy, the military newspaper said that Xia Houzhe had surrendered Suiyunguan again.

Su Mu lost his temper. In fact, he also knew that the thousands of raiders brought by Xia Houzhe would definitely not be able to defend such a huge Broken Cloud Pass.

But he originally thought that Xia Houzhe would retreat with these people and make a long-term plan.

He really didn't expect that Xia Houzhe would dare to take those people directly to Huanglong.

Su Mu: "..."

"Are you sure this was really written by your major general?"

The messenger soldier wiped off his sweat, nodded and said, "Yes, it was written by the general himself, and it is specially ordered to be handed over to you."

Su Mu really wanted to cover his cheeks and complain about toothache, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down and rest quickly."

It was rare that there was no one else in the room, so Su Mu stared at the map hanging on the opposite wall, silently calculating where Xia Houzhe should be at the moment.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Master Su!"

Su Mu came to his senses and quickly said, "Come in."

The one who pushed the door was Heipi—that is, Luo Zhongliang and several other partial generals, and Twelve followed behind him jumping up and down.

Luo Zhongliang has always been calm, but at this moment he couldn't help but his face was full of anxiety: "Young Master Su! The Major General didn't let anyone explain clearly, but just said that Beiliang was coming. What's going on? Where are they?"

"Hmm..." Su Mu said, "You—don't know?"

Twelve was the first to ask: "You know what? Why does the master want to return the Broken Cloud Pass?"

Su Mu ignored the question behind him, and handed Xia Houzhe's handwritten letter to Luo Zhongliang: "It is probably because I am afraid that the news will leak..."

"Ah!" Luo Zhongliang suddenly yelled, and the people beside him and Su Mu were startled.

"what happened?"

Luo Zhongliang had a strange expression on his dark face. He looked at Su Mu with twisted corners of his mouth: "Major General, he is going to copy Neidu Wangting, why did you take my brother and not me!"
