The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 46 Take the initiative
Yun Yan fed Lin Aoxue the medicinal porridge, and then checked the arrow wound on her back for her. When she was applying the medicine for Lin Aoxue, looking at the bloody wound on Lin Aoxue's back, Yunyan's face became very heavy, and even her eyes It also became dark.
The arrow in Lin Aoxue's back hurt the most, the arrow passed through her chest, and brushed against her heart dangerously. Fortunately, Lin Aoxue was lucky, and although the arrow was dangerous, it still did not kill her. However, if she misses by half an inch, even if the gods come down to earth, it will be difficult to save her life.
In order to make it easier for Yunyan to see her wound, Lin Aoxue sat up with Yunyan's support, Yunyan carefully applied the wound medicine to her, and when she rolled up the gauze layer by layer, Yunyan's silent eyes hid a different kind Lin Aoxue, whose back was facing Yunyan, didn't notice it.
After changing the medicine again, Lin Aoxue lay down again under Yunyan's care. Yunyan held the corner of the quilt for her, and softly coaxed her to sleep.Even though the wound was painful, the analgesic herb would always take effect, but Lin Aoxue didn't show the pain on her face, she obediently tilted her head and closed her eyes.
After Yunyan went out with the medicine bowl, Lin Aoxue opened her eyes again, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she endured the pain from the wound, sleepless all night.
Because of Lin Aoxue's injury, Yunyan was able to temporarily stay in the military camp, but since she no longer had the status of a military doctor, she came to take care of Lin Aoxue, Bei Chenlong set up a temporary tent for her near Lin Aoxue's residence, and sent two guards.
In the evening of that day, the oil lamp was lit on the Yunyan table, and it went on and off.There were no furnishings in the tent. Yunyan was studying the prescriptions on the table, and prepared medicines for Lin Aoxue according to her physical condition. When she carefully mixed different medicinal materials and dosages together, the shadowy figure behind her appeared again in black robes. silhouette.
"Miss Yun, how do you end up with the secret letter?"
The pawn he had captured earlier and the secret letter that hadn't been sent out of the pass had been indirectly disclosed to Bei Chenlong. Bei Chenlong had arrested him and was still interrogating him. Yunyan needed to make further decisions on how to arrange more specific things.
The movement of Yunyan's hands did not stop, she continued to grind the powder, and at the same time replied softly:
"Her people hurt mine, how can she not pay the price?"
"That matter..."
The man in black hesitated.
Yunyan mixed a small cup of crushed medicine powder into the medicine jar, and replied without changing expression:
"Eliminate Rong Wei."
What she said calmly made the man in black behind him gasp suddenly. He frowned, with a look of hesitation on his face, and urged urgently:
"This matter involves a lot. If you act rashly, you may get burned. Miss Yun should think twice."
The corners of Yunyan's lips were pursed, and her charming face set off the cold and sharp eyes, which gave people a cold and chilling feeling.
"You just need to disclose the news to Bei Chenlong. Because of his suspicious mind, he needs to go through several verifications before releasing further news. In this way, he can use Bei Chenlong's hand to attack Rongwei. After he raises troops, he will send another message out of customs. Let them understand that my goal is only Rong Wei, if she still wants to continue to cooperate with me, she will naturally know what to do."
The man in black wanted to say something more, but Yun Yan had made up his mind. After thinking about it several times, he couldn't find any mistakes, so he bowed and bowed, and quietly left.
After the man in black retreated, Yun Yan pursed her lips and smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes, as if there was a cold glow in her eyes, making her smile look extraordinarily stern, her red lips fluttered, and she murmured to herself:
"For the rest of my life, I have been cautious everywhere, gradually smoothing the edges and corners, forgetting what it feels like to be vigorous."
She shook the medicine jar in her hand, sneered and said:
"People don't offend me, I don't offend others, Rongwei people hurt Aoxue, they should pay the price, I have been careful all my life, so what if I was reckless once?"
Early the next morning, Yun Yan came early to see Lin Aoxue's injuries. Lin Aoxue hadn't slept all night, and she was in a very poor condition. She looked even weaker than yesterday.
During this period of time, Yunyan has almost become Lin Aoxue's exclusive physician. She knows what kind of state Lin Aoxue is in, and she is very anxious. However, there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the camp, and the medicines that can be used on Lin Aoxue are strictly controlled. After drinking the medicinal porridge, Yunyan went back to the medical clinic, took some medicinal materials, and selfishly used the best wound medicine on Lin Aoxue.
For several days, the arrow wound on Lin Aoxue's back scabbed and began to grow flesh. The pain eased, but Lin Aoxue still had to endure the extreme itching, unable to get out of bed, unable to train, and the days of recuperation felt like years.
Fortunately, Yunyan always accompanied her, which made Lin Aoxue feel better, so she respected the doctor's orders and obediently healed her wounds.
For more than ten days, Lin Aoxue's injury gradually healed under Yunyan's careful care, but Yunyan became thinner and thinner day by day. Lin Aoxue saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, but she didn't know how to persuade Yunyan to let her rest more. Whenever she wanted to speak, Yun Yan seemed to be able to predict her plan in advance, so she detoured her with a sharp tongue, and finally left Lin Aoxue speechless.
Several times, Lin Aoxue had no choice but to stop persuading her, thinking that she would take good care of her wounds, and when her body recovered, Yun Yan naturally didn't have to worry about it.
Lin Aoxue's injury began to heal, and Bei Chenlong's investigation of the secret letter also made progress. The pawn who intended to send the secret letter out of the pass was captured by Bei Chenlong's men. His jaw knocked out all his teeth, and after some torture, he finally pried out some news from his mouth.
He confessed the residence of the informant behind him, and when Bei Chenlong secretly sent someone to capture the informant that the pawn said, Bei Chenlong was extremely shocked by the identity of this person.
Bei Chenlong took people to the dungeon in person. Looking at the man who was tied to a wooden stake and covered in whip marks but still clenched his teeth and refused to let go, his eyes showed a fierce coldness, and he shouted in a cold voice:
"Shangwu!"
The man who was tied up on the wooden stake was big and strong, and he was tortured to the point of dying. He lowered his head slightly, and when he heard Bei Chenlong's angry shout, he raised his head with great effort, but his eyes were full of grayness. , without any emotional ups and downs, indifferent and calm, as if he had anticipated the environment he was in and the upcoming encounter, so he gave up struggling and wanted to die.
He didn't speak, just looked at Bei Chenlong calmly, there was no light in his gray pupils, he let the person in front of him be furious and resentful, but he remained indifferent.
"Why did you do this?"
After Bei Chenlong got the news, he not only arrested Shangwu, but also quietly sent secret guards to his hometown in Yiping, and arrested his fiancée who was temporarily staying at his home. In the local area, we found the deployment map of the Poyan garrison, as well as the specific locations of the outposts outside Xingbei Pass, and the time for changing defenses.
It is self-evident that such a confidential thing is in the hands of Shang Wu.
There are sufficient witnesses and material evidence, Shang Wu is a spy in Xingbei Pass, and the situation in Xingbei Pass was so critical last year, it is very likely that Shang Wu served as the barbarian's eyeliner and made a contribution to it.
But all this made Bei Chenlong very puzzled. When Shangwu went to the battlefield, he was extremely brave. He fought side by side with Lin Aoxue, showing great patriotic enthusiasm. Even in the battle to retake Poyan, Shangwu was stabbed several times , almost died in Poyan.
Later, when the barbarians attacked the city, Shang Wu was seriously injured again. Several military doctors tried their best to rescue him after guarding the city all night. He, how did Shangwu do so well?
His voice was full of anger, but also full of doubt and unbelievable bewilderment.
Shang Wu opened his eyes, and there was a brand new scar on his face, which was left after he was severely whipped with a whip dipped in salt water by the jailer.
Facing Bei Chenlong, his eyes were always calm, and he was not prepared to hide anything, but he replied when Bei Chenlong asked:
"General, I am from the Beichen Kingdom, but I grew up on the grassland. The princess of the Boka tribe was kind to me. When I was young, my parents died and I was displaced. Go to the grassland, teach me how to read and practice martial arts, and let me serve the Boca clan when I grow up."
There were no emotional ups and downs in Shang Wu's eyes, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"But when I returned to Beichen and sneaked into the army, I realized that the pain brought by the war was far more than death. Too many lives and deaths revived my dead conscience. The parting of comrades again and again, the fall of Poyan, Yong'an The incident of the destruction made me feel the pain of my parents' death once again, I began to regret it, and feared the cruelty of the battlefield, and I didn't want to go into this muddy water again, but I couldn't get out of it."
Although the words he said were calm, they undoubtedly confirmed that the fact that Poyan fell that time was indeed because he secretly passed the news to the outside of the pass, so that the barbarians quietly avoided the eyes of the northern border. Successfully captured Poyan before Beichenlong discovered it.
In this way, it is true that from the year when Shangwu came to Xingbeiguan, the actions of the barbarians became weird, and after that, they became more and more unscrupulous.
Bei Chenlong was so angry that his chest was about to explode, but he couldn't behave too badly because of this, he widened his eyes, looking at Shang Wu almost had flames coming out of them.
"How did you get your identity?! Your fiancée is a barbarian! How did she get into the customs?"
Bei Chenlong suppressed his anger, and asked his inner questions one by one. Shang Wu's eyes remained calm, his brows slightly drooped, and he replied expressionlessly:
"My identity was naturally prepared for me by the Queen of Boca. Since last year's autumn harvest, I have rarely sent out the news. The Queen suspects that my heart has changed. To verify whether I am still loyal to the Boca family, I sent I appointed this woman to supervise me, as for how she entered the customs, I have never known about it."
Bei Chenlong looked at him coldly, and asked again:
"Besides this woman, who else is your accomplice in the army?!"
Shang Wu shook his head this time, insisting that everything was done by himself, and he had nothing to do with anyone.
Bei Chenlong was enraged and scolded:
"I don't believe that the princess of the Boka family can manage my affairs in the northern border from far away in the grassland! The Poyan deployment map found in your house, and the guard changing document at the outpost, with your own strength, absolutely no It is possible to get it, and besides, you alone can pass the news out of Xingbei Pass, how can my defense of Xingbei Pass be fooled so easily? You'd better explain it honestly, so as not to suffer flesh and blood!"
There are too many doubts about this matter, Bei Chenlong is not a fool, he knows that Shang Wu still has to hide, and he is sure that behind Shang Wu, there is an unknown force, a huge black hand, stirring up the muddy water in the dark.
Hearing Bei Chenlong's series of questions, Shang Wu showed a smile on his face. He looked up at Bei Chenlong, and said calmly and sincerely:
"General, I tell you these things because, as a citizen of Beichen, I believe that I have done wrong things in the past, and my sins are unforgivable, so I am willing to pay for the sins I committed with my own life. Thanks to me, I can't betray her, no matter how much, I won't say a word, please give me a happy time, General."
He said such words, not only did not extinguish Bei Chenlong's anger, but made him even more irritable. Bei Chenlong pointed at Shang Wu's nose and shouted angrily:
"You have eaten the barbarian's cattle and sheep for a few years, and you have grown a heart of stone that is invulnerable to all poisons like that barbarian! You think that you, a traitor, can make up for the tens of thousands of people who died in Poyan and Yong'an Life? You are so naive and selfish, and you take that hypocritical death as righteousness, but you are just touching yourself!"
The more Bei Chenlong spoke, the more angry he became, but Shang Wu had already closed his eyes, as if he didn't listen to anything outside the window. He didn't listen to Bei Chenlong's words, and he didn't say anything more. No matter how much Bei Chenlong scolded, he was indifferent .
In desperation, Bei Chenlong gritted his teeth and averted his gaze, and ordered the barbarian woman captured from Shang Wu's house to be tortured severely. Exhausting cruel punishments, the female barbarian was not as tough as Shang Wu. After many twists and turns, the jailers finally let her The woman opened her mouth and revealed the ambition of Princess Boka.
The Queen of Boka is brave and good at fighting. She began to recharge her energy and start planning a few years ago, and in just a few years, she attacked most of the tribes on the grassland, allowing the originally loose grassland to condense into As a whole, the Rongwei clan is the most powerful in her hands and the closest sharp knife to Beichen Kingdom.
The news this woman said is somewhat different from what Lin Aoxue received last time, but generally speaking, the meaning is not that far apart. The Rongwei tribe is not independent as Wu Ping told Lin Aoxue, and has not yet been annexed by Boka. On the contrary, they first submitted to the The tribe of Queen Boca.
In the past two years, Princess Boka has used the Rongwei and Kezhan tribes to jointly harass the northern border, and has been testing the details of Xingbei Pass. I also have a certain understanding of the deployment of the defense situation. Maybe after a period of time, all the forces on the grassland will be gathered to attack Xingbei Pass on a large scale.
As soon as the news came out, Bei Chenlong broke out in a cold sweat. Before he knew it, the grassland people had secretly plotted a plan to overthrow Xingbeiguan, but the entire Xingbeiguan soldiers still knew nothing about it .With a serious expression on his face, he immediately returned to the camp, and summoned Yang Jin, Guo Wencheng and other confidant generals to discuss the matter with them in detail.
Yang Jin and the others were all dumbfounded when they heard such shocking news from Bei Chenlong's mouth. They never thought that such a major change had occurred in the grassland without their knowledge.The barbarians are no longer satisfied with snatching some food and grass from the northern border every autumn. Their goal is the fertile land in the entire northern border, and they have been eyeing Xing Beiguan since many years ago.
Bei Chenlong's expression was serious, he tapped on the table with five fingers, looked around, and hummed:
"What do you guys think of this matter?"
Guo Wencheng frowned and asked tentatively:
"General, how credible are the words of this barbarian?"
Bei Chenlong snorted coldly, his eyes flickered fiercely, and said through gritted teeth:
"Before I sent Lin Aoxue to investigate the movement of the barbarians outside the pass, and obtained the internal information of the barbarians. I also got similar news. I think this is true."
When Guo Wencheng heard this, his eyes froze. It turned out that Lin Aoxue was injured because of this incident, and was also promoted because of this incident.All the generals in the audience looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.
Yang Jin pondered for a moment, and then proposed:
"It's better to strike first than the general."
A gloomy light flashed in Bei Chenlong's eyes, he raised his head and asked:
"What does the Overseer mean?"
Yang Jin didn't hide anything, and said bluntly:
"The barbarians want to take advantage of my inattention and attack aggressively, but they haven't done anything so far, which means that they are not fully prepared internally. Now we have got the news in advance. If this information is confirmed to be true, why don't I wait a step faster and strike first? , let the barbarians suffer some hardships first, so that they can know that our army of the Beichen Kingdom is by no means capable of calculating everything."
After Yang Jin's words fell, all the generals present nodded in agreement, bluntly saying that what Yang Jin said was very true, and more than [-]% of the generals were in favor of sending troops to fight against the grassland barbarians.
"It's true that we have been guarding Xingbei Pass all these years, and we seldom leave the pass to kill the enemy. Did the barbarians have the illusion that we are a group of cowards hiding in Xingbei Pass, forgetting the prestige of our Xingbei Army back then? !"
A veteran took up the conversation filled with righteous indignation, and then another person echoed:
"Yes, instead of letting the barbarians dominate the battle and waiting for them to attack, let's take the initiative and catch them by surprise."
More and more voices calling for battle rang in Bei Chenlong's ears, buzzing, causing his forehead to throb like pain.
He shook his head vigorously, glanced coldly at the generals in the tent, then patted the table vigorously, and waited for the noise to subside before saying:
"What you said is true. Xingbeiguan should indeed make some changes. We did not do anything, and we actually increased the prestige of others. Immediately pass down an order to recruit [-] elite soldiers, and ask Lin Aoxue to lead the way, and strive to pull out the soldiers before the barbarians find out. Wei tribe!"
After Bei Chenlong gave an order, someone immediately took orders to go down. Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng left their tents to order troops, and all the generals went out one after another.Sitting at the table, Bei Chenlong kept recalling the faces of the people sitting in the tent just now when they spoke. After a long time, he sighed and said:
"Military division, have you found anything?"
The military adviser, who had been observing the generals behind the scenes, was silent for a long time before saying something that made Bei Chenlong extremely worried:
"No, any one of them may be a spy."
Bei Chenlong didn't believe that Shang Wu could get such a confidential document by himself, someone must have secretly helped him in the army, but Bei Chenlong couldn't pinpoint the identity of this person who secretly helped Shang Wu.
No matter which one of these high-ranking generals was promoted by him, he has seen all of their resumes and military exploits over the years. It is really difficult to determine for a while, who sent the news It was revealed, who actually betrayed him at such an important juncture.
He raised his hand to hold the space between his eyebrows, and rubbed it vigorously, then he let out a long sigh and said:
"But this time, my idea is to send troops to take the initiative to attack and teach the barbarians a lesson."
The military division did not refute his words, only said:
"You should be careful and don't panic."
Bei Chenlong nodded:
"I can save it."
Bei Chenlong decided to take the initiative to send troops to attack the Rongwei tribe on the grassland. The next day, he ordered [-] soldiers and horses, and set off from Xingbei Pass in a mighty manner.
Lin Aoxue's injury has not healed, but she is the only one who knows the way. After Bei Chenlong consulted Lin Aoxue's wishes, he got Yunyan's doctor's order. Lin Aoxue can ride a horse to fight with the army, but he cannot use force by himself. Without soldiers and horses, the army marched towards the grassland without stopping.
When Lin Aoxue heard from Bei Chenlong that Shang Wu was a spy inserted into the camp by the barbarians, she thought it was incredible. She had participated in several wars with Shang Wu, and Shang Wu was also the first person she knew well after entering the barracks. My friend, I never thought that in less than a month, Shang Wu would become a spy of the barbarians.
She recalled that time when she was fighting for Poyan Pass on the Poyan battlefield, Shangwu was wounded with several knives, but still stood by Lin Aoxue's side, opening the way for her, so that she could finally reach the city gate and open the city gate , Lin Aoxue was a little dazed.
Thinking about all of this now, it turned into an illusory dream. It was clearly in front of my eyes, but it lost its original warmth all of a sudden.
Lin Aoxue's heart was extremely depressed, and it was hard to describe what kind of mood she was in. She felt regretful and painful, but in these ups and downs of emotions, there was a two-point clarity and a helplessness that had been predicted in advance.
Before the incident, Shang Wu showed several different attitudes than usual, and the last time the barbarians attacked the city, Lin Aoxue went to the battlefield to collect the corpse and came back. When she saw Shang Wu in front of the city gate, the latter had a strange expression on his face. It also made Lin Aoxue suspicious.
It's just that she never thought that just as the doubts in her heart arose, everything was already a foregone conclusion.
What made her admire even more was the tricks of the barbarian princess behind Shang Wu, she managed to make Shang Wu willingly serve him, even if Shang Wu felt remorse in the end, she refused to disclose any information related to it.
The army was moving very fast. In order to prevent the barbarians from finding their tracks and to act as covertly as possible, Bei Chenlong dispatched some skilled secret guards in advance to clean up the scouts on the road. At the same time, he also strictly controlled everything in Xingbei Pass The trend is to shoot down all the birds released from Xingbeiguan, and not let anyone pass the news.
Lin Aoxue led Bei Chenlong to attack Rong Wei from the nearest road, and the [-] troops cleared away all the patrol soldiers left by Rong Wei on the border of the grassland with lightning speed, without letting anyone escape, and without giving them a chance to pass on the news In addition, the barbarians never thought that the people of Xingbeiguan would take the initiative to attack, so some omissions in defense allowed Beichenlong to enter the grassland quietly and approach the stronghold of the Rongwei tribe.
However, in less than half a day, Beichen's army passed through the green grassland and came to the stronghold of the Rongwei tribe. The target of the [-] army was obvious, and it was not easy to hide their tracks. Therefore, Beichenlong ordered not to approach the village before dark, so as not to advance The people in the tribe were alarmed and they were on guard. He led the army to find a place with a gentle slope and a bunker, and hid with the slope behind his back.
In addition, Bei Chenlong also sent scouts to approach carefully, take a look around, and bring back news that Rong Wei's army is stationed outside the village of the Rong Wei tribe, and everything is the same as usual.
As the sky darkened, Beichenlong saw that the time was right, and ordered to approach the village quietly. While alarming the patrolling soldiers outside the village, Beichenlong gave an order, and the drums beat. But after two rushes, the whole tribe became fragmented.
The barbarian panicked. He never thought that Xing Beiguan's army would run out from the northern border without a sound. This was not at all like Bei Chenlong's previous fighting style. In the eyes of these arrogant barbarians, Bei Chenlong was a shrunken turtle, he didn't dare to leave Xingbei Pass at all, even if they led troops to fight to Xingbei Pass, Bei Chenlong seldom went out to fight.
So they have always been unscrupulous in the grassland. They never thought that they would be killed on the grassland by the soldiers from the north and force them into such a mess.
But the barbarians are not vegetarians, they quickly reorganized their formation, although they lost some soldiers and horses because of the sudden battle, but their coping ability is still very outstanding, and they regained their form in a very short period of time. He ordered his soldiers not to panic, and began to fight against the army of Beichen Kingdom.
The terrain on the grassland is very open, which is actually not conducive to the army of Beichen Kingdom. The barbarians grew up on the grassland and have their own advantages. They are good at riding horses, and their cavalry combat capabilities are excellent. After a short period of panic, the barbarians are almost manned. A war horse, holding a broadsword after getting on the horse, rushed through the team, with astonishing lethality.
The infantry from Xingbeiguan was no match for the barbarian cavalry at all. After several reverse charges, the army of Xingbeiguan also began to suffer a large number of casualties.With a serious expression on his face, Bei Chenlong ordered to change the formation, let the cavalry step forward, the infantry retreat, and the archers formed a circle around the periphery, enclosing the entire Rongwei tribe.
Lin Aoxue was ordered to follow Bei Chenlong and was not allowed to go anywhere, so she could only sit on the horse and watch the battle situation below the gentle slope.
The chaotic rain of arrows caused great damage to the barbarians, and people fell off their horses and died. The barbarians had already planned to break through the encirclement and escape, but Beichen Long made up his mind to destroy the entire Rongwei tribe's stronghold. Before attacking, He calculated the possible retreat routes of the barbarians, and deployed troops early to block all retreat routes.
Seeing this, the barbarian knew that there was no hope of retreating, so he became even more vicious. He broke the boat and fought with his back. Everyone showed extraordinary strength, but due to the huge gap in the number of people, Bei Chenlong brought twice as many people as the troops in the stronghold of the Rongwei tribe. More than enough, even if the barbarians try their best to rebound, they will inevitably end up in a ruined situation.
The entire Rongwei tribe was taken over by Bei Chenlong's army. Bei Chenlong was ruthless this time and did not accept the surrender of the barbarians. The blood flowed like a river on the grassland of the Uyghur tribe before they called for gold and retreated.
He did not order people to collect the corpses, but immediately ordered to retreat after slaughtering the army of the Rongwei tribe. Just now, a scout sent news that a group of soldiers in uniform appeared in the east and were approaching here quickly. Roughly estimated , about 8 people.
Bei Chenlong knew that the reinforcements from the Rongwei tribe were coming. Although he lamented that the barbarians' reinforcements came quickly, he would not let these barbarians catch any chance. Since they came, let them clean up the corpses of these barbarians, while he The army under him ordered to pick up the famous badges on the battlefield, quickly withdraw their troops, and retreat towards Xingbei Pass.
This time the war started quickly and ended very quickly. The barbarian strongholds did not have high walls like Xingbeiguan. They only had the most ordinary farmhouses without any protection, because they never thought that Beichenlong would Take the initiative to send troops to attack and catch them by surprise.
It was precisely because of the previous experience of passively fighting at Xingbeiguan that blinded the barbarian soldiers and generals that they were easily wiped out.
But this does not mean that Xing Beiguan's army can run amok on the grassland. The grassland is always an unfamiliar environment for Bei Chenlong and his army. They can rely on luck and early prediction to win the first place. Zhang Zhang, but it does not mean that they can compete with the soldiers and horses of the entire grassland.
Bei Chenlong deeply understood this point, so he had no intention of fighting at all. Even though there were generals under his command who wanted to pursue the victory, he was summoned back by his absolutely irresistible military order, and led the army to retreat in a calm and orderly manner.
By the time the entire army returned to Xingbei Pass, it was already noon the next day. The battle of leaving Xingbei Pass was a great victory, and the barbarian Rongwei tribe no longer existed.
After this battle, Bei Chenlong became more and more sure that the forces inside the grassland had indeed reached cooperation and became a whole.If the Rongwei tribe were a single entity, then in today's battle, the reinforcements would not have arrived so quickly, and they would not have left in such a hurry.
Just because the battle had just started, the barbarians' reinforcements were in sight, which made Bei Chenlong confirm once again that the forces inside the grassland had been integrated, and the princess of the Boca clan was ambitious. If they didn't take the initiative to attack today, it wouldn't be long before tomorrow. The tens of thousands of people from the Rongwei tribe will become sharp knives in the hands of Queen Boka, piercing into the flesh and blood of Beichen Kingdom.
The integration of grassland forces is definitely not good news for Bei Chen. Bei Chenlong is very anxious, but the urgent report he sent back to the capital half a month ago has not received a reply until today, which makes him more anxious and restless. What kind of calculations did His Majesty the Qing Emperor have in mind?
He has always known that the military power in his hands is like a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the emperor, and he also knows how narrow-minded the emperor is, even if he puts down the military power in his hands, the disaster will only come faster.So he can't let it go, not only can't, but he has to gather this power in his own hands.
I thought the emperor would not be so ignorant, but the amount of food and grass he applied for from the emperor last year was not enough, and the medicinal herbs had to be left to him to figure out what to do. Now that the situation at the border is critical, the emperor not only does not understand his situation, but even sends Bei Chenlong couldn't bear to have an ancestor like the fifth prince come to serve him, and take away the military power in his hands.
The emperor refused to send troops to support the northern border, so Bei Chenlong kept thinking about what to do.
As soon as the army arrived at Xingbei Pass, Lin Aoxue saw Yunyan Tingting standing in front of the city gate from a distance. As soon as the team approached, Yunyan came up to meet her. Make sure she is not injured this time.
Many eyes gathered around, except for Bei Chenlong who was focused on other things and didn't pay much attention, the other generals all cast meaningful glances at Lin Aoxue.Yunyan's performance is so obvious that everyone can see that she has an unusual relationship with Lin Aoxue. In addition, Lin Aoxue has been injured recently, and Yunyan has been taking care of her all the time.
Lin Aoxue turned a blind eye to these gazes, pretending to be serious and awe-inspiring. When Yunyan asked her if she was hurt anywhere, she kept her eyes fixed and replied calmly:
"I'm not involved in this battle, Yan'er doesn't have to worry."
Seeing her like this, Yun Yan didn't know that this person had started to save face again, and didn't bother to brush her off. She did a little inspection to make sure that Lin Aoxue was not injured any more, and the wound on her back was not split. Only then breathed a sigh of relief and let go of my heart.
Bei Chenlong originally thought that after this surprise attack, most of the barbarians could not bear such humiliation and would soon send troops to attack Xing Beiguan. However, he waited and waited. Xiang Poyan and Mingzheng's troops also retreated, and they didn't look like they were about to attack.
Bei Chenlong was quite surprised by this phenomenon, but at the same time, his doubts became deeper and deeper. The task of investigating barbarian spies was still going on. If Bei Chenlong didn't pull the spies out of the barracks, he couldn't feel at ease for a day. , a month has passed without knowing it.
For a whole month, the barbarians did not come to the northern border.
The emperor undoubtedly thought that Bei Chenlong was bluffing and spreading fake news in order to gain more troops. With a sneer, he dismissed Bei Chenlong's urgent report and threw it into the documents he had already read. He didn't plan to read it again. .
Lin Aoxue's injuries were completely healed, and she resumed training. Every day before dawn, she would go to the school field to practice. Under Yun Yan's careful care of the three arrow holes on her back, none of them left a single scar.
Regarding this, Lin Aoxue couldn't express any appreciation except for being amazed. After all, she could only say "Yan'er's medical skills are really famous", that's all.
Yun Yan went back to the hospital after Lin Aoxue's injury healed. Bei Chenlong didn't want to tolerate her, she knew it, and she was in the military camp, some things were really inconvenient, so seeing Lin Aoxue's injury could almost leave her. People, she told Lin Aoxue and left the barracks by herself.
As soon as the person left, Lin Aoxue began to lose her mind, and she also became dazed during the practice. Bei Chenji laughed at her for being so helpless, but Lin Aoxue rarely did not refute, and smiled helplessly and somewhat joyfully.
Obviously, the relationship between her and Yun Yan has not changed much, they still respect each other, polite and restrained, but they have pierced the window paper in each other's hearts, and they are more open-minded to each other's subconscious overtures, but Lin Aoxue And I really understand that something has indeed changed, making the relationship between them subtle and complicated.
This is joyful, but also sad.
When it was Xiumu, Bei Chenji came to look for Lin Aoxue early in the morning, and wanted to ask her to go to the market for a drink. Unexpectedly, when he came, the guards told him that Commander Lin had gone out early in the morning. After turning around, I got the answer in my heart, I couldn't help shaking my head, and called Lu Sheng instead.
At this time, there were not many people in the Xingbei Market, and Yunyan's Yanxue Medical Hall had just opened its doors, and it welcomed a special guest.
Lin Aoxue didn't wear military uniform today, she stood in front of the medical hall for a long time, looked up at the name of the medical hall, immediately lowered her head in shame, with a serious face, chest heaving and falling, she was really nervous.
Nearly a month later, Lin Aoxue never left the barracks after communicating with Yunyan. This was the first time she took the initiative to look for her after she said goodbye to Yunyan and left the barracks.
Although it has been a long time, looking at the Yanxue medical hall on her head again, she still can't restrain the shame and embarrassment in her heart, feeling that she can't take the steps under her feet.
Maybe it was because she stood there for too long, the old man with a vegetable stall next to her glanced at her, seeing her looking fierce, as if she was about to tear down the pharmacy, his eyes showed suspicion and worry, very Pack up your things quickly and evacuate first.
As soon as the uncle left, the other nearby stalls around Lin Aoxue also cleaned up in twos and twos, and the stalls that had just been set up not long ago were all removed one by one without a trace.
Yun Yan was sitting in the hall, flipping through a medical book, a little surprised at how quiet the door was so quiet today, so she sent a servant to take a look at the door, the servant walked quickly to the front of the hall, saw Lin Aoxue, and immediately shouted:
"Lieutenant Lin!"
Inside the door, the medical technique in Yunyan's hand fell on the table with a thud, and outside the door, Lin Aoxue straightened her back in shock, and stood upright at the door of the medical hall.
Yun Yan quickly came back to her senses, she picked up the medical book with a smile and closed it, then turned her head to look at the door of the medical hall, Lin Aoxue would also pack up her emotions, and walked in, the eyes of the two met in the air, the look in Yun Yan's eyes The smile deepened by two points, and he said with a smile:
"A rare guest! Lieutenant Lin is here today, is there something important?"
Lin Aoxue had already adjusted her breathing before stepping in. She blinked her eyes vigorously, trying her best to make herself look calmer and more calm:
"Well, I'm here today to invite Miss Yunyan to attend an opera at the opposite Fuyun Village. I wonder if Miss Yunyan is free?"
The author has something to say: Well, every time I see my little cutie saying that my new book has improved a bit compared to the old one, I feel very happy. You are watching me grow up bit by bit, and accompany me all the way. Thank you very much!But at the same time, there was a very subtle feeling, as if I was being "nurtured"?
Hahahaha~
Routine comments please accept please click!
The arrow in Lin Aoxue's back hurt the most, the arrow passed through her chest, and brushed against her heart dangerously. Fortunately, Lin Aoxue was lucky, and although the arrow was dangerous, it still did not kill her. However, if she misses by half an inch, even if the gods come down to earth, it will be difficult to save her life.
In order to make it easier for Yunyan to see her wound, Lin Aoxue sat up with Yunyan's support, Yunyan carefully applied the wound medicine to her, and when she rolled up the gauze layer by layer, Yunyan's silent eyes hid a different kind Lin Aoxue, whose back was facing Yunyan, didn't notice it.
After changing the medicine again, Lin Aoxue lay down again under Yunyan's care. Yunyan held the corner of the quilt for her, and softly coaxed her to sleep.Even though the wound was painful, the analgesic herb would always take effect, but Lin Aoxue didn't show the pain on her face, she obediently tilted her head and closed her eyes.
After Yunyan went out with the medicine bowl, Lin Aoxue opened her eyes again, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she endured the pain from the wound, sleepless all night.
Because of Lin Aoxue's injury, Yunyan was able to temporarily stay in the military camp, but since she no longer had the status of a military doctor, she came to take care of Lin Aoxue, Bei Chenlong set up a temporary tent for her near Lin Aoxue's residence, and sent two guards.
In the evening of that day, the oil lamp was lit on the Yunyan table, and it went on and off.There were no furnishings in the tent. Yunyan was studying the prescriptions on the table, and prepared medicines for Lin Aoxue according to her physical condition. When she carefully mixed different medicinal materials and dosages together, the shadowy figure behind her appeared again in black robes. silhouette.
"Miss Yun, how do you end up with the secret letter?"
The pawn he had captured earlier and the secret letter that hadn't been sent out of the pass had been indirectly disclosed to Bei Chenlong. Bei Chenlong had arrested him and was still interrogating him. Yunyan needed to make further decisions on how to arrange more specific things.
The movement of Yunyan's hands did not stop, she continued to grind the powder, and at the same time replied softly:
"Her people hurt mine, how can she not pay the price?"
"That matter..."
The man in black hesitated.
Yunyan mixed a small cup of crushed medicine powder into the medicine jar, and replied without changing expression:
"Eliminate Rong Wei."
What she said calmly made the man in black behind him gasp suddenly. He frowned, with a look of hesitation on his face, and urged urgently:
"This matter involves a lot. If you act rashly, you may get burned. Miss Yun should think twice."
The corners of Yunyan's lips were pursed, and her charming face set off the cold and sharp eyes, which gave people a cold and chilling feeling.
"You just need to disclose the news to Bei Chenlong. Because of his suspicious mind, he needs to go through several verifications before releasing further news. In this way, he can use Bei Chenlong's hand to attack Rongwei. After he raises troops, he will send another message out of customs. Let them understand that my goal is only Rong Wei, if she still wants to continue to cooperate with me, she will naturally know what to do."
The man in black wanted to say something more, but Yun Yan had made up his mind. After thinking about it several times, he couldn't find any mistakes, so he bowed and bowed, and quietly left.
After the man in black retreated, Yun Yan pursed her lips and smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes, as if there was a cold glow in her eyes, making her smile look extraordinarily stern, her red lips fluttered, and she murmured to herself:
"For the rest of my life, I have been cautious everywhere, gradually smoothing the edges and corners, forgetting what it feels like to be vigorous."
She shook the medicine jar in her hand, sneered and said:
"People don't offend me, I don't offend others, Rongwei people hurt Aoxue, they should pay the price, I have been careful all my life, so what if I was reckless once?"
Early the next morning, Yun Yan came early to see Lin Aoxue's injuries. Lin Aoxue hadn't slept all night, and she was in a very poor condition. She looked even weaker than yesterday.
During this period of time, Yunyan has almost become Lin Aoxue's exclusive physician. She knows what kind of state Lin Aoxue is in, and she is very anxious. However, there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the camp, and the medicines that can be used on Lin Aoxue are strictly controlled. After drinking the medicinal porridge, Yunyan went back to the medical clinic, took some medicinal materials, and selfishly used the best wound medicine on Lin Aoxue.
For several days, the arrow wound on Lin Aoxue's back scabbed and began to grow flesh. The pain eased, but Lin Aoxue still had to endure the extreme itching, unable to get out of bed, unable to train, and the days of recuperation felt like years.
Fortunately, Yunyan always accompanied her, which made Lin Aoxue feel better, so she respected the doctor's orders and obediently healed her wounds.
For more than ten days, Lin Aoxue's injury gradually healed under Yunyan's careful care, but Yunyan became thinner and thinner day by day. Lin Aoxue saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, but she didn't know how to persuade Yunyan to let her rest more. Whenever she wanted to speak, Yun Yan seemed to be able to predict her plan in advance, so she detoured her with a sharp tongue, and finally left Lin Aoxue speechless.
Several times, Lin Aoxue had no choice but to stop persuading her, thinking that she would take good care of her wounds, and when her body recovered, Yun Yan naturally didn't have to worry about it.
Lin Aoxue's injury began to heal, and Bei Chenlong's investigation of the secret letter also made progress. The pawn who intended to send the secret letter out of the pass was captured by Bei Chenlong's men. His jaw knocked out all his teeth, and after some torture, he finally pried out some news from his mouth.
He confessed the residence of the informant behind him, and when Bei Chenlong secretly sent someone to capture the informant that the pawn said, Bei Chenlong was extremely shocked by the identity of this person.
Bei Chenlong took people to the dungeon in person. Looking at the man who was tied to a wooden stake and covered in whip marks but still clenched his teeth and refused to let go, his eyes showed a fierce coldness, and he shouted in a cold voice:
"Shangwu!"
The man who was tied up on the wooden stake was big and strong, and he was tortured to the point of dying. He lowered his head slightly, and when he heard Bei Chenlong's angry shout, he raised his head with great effort, but his eyes were full of grayness. , without any emotional ups and downs, indifferent and calm, as if he had anticipated the environment he was in and the upcoming encounter, so he gave up struggling and wanted to die.
He didn't speak, just looked at Bei Chenlong calmly, there was no light in his gray pupils, he let the person in front of him be furious and resentful, but he remained indifferent.
"Why did you do this?"
After Bei Chenlong got the news, he not only arrested Shangwu, but also quietly sent secret guards to his hometown in Yiping, and arrested his fiancée who was temporarily staying at his home. In the local area, we found the deployment map of the Poyan garrison, as well as the specific locations of the outposts outside Xingbei Pass, and the time for changing defenses.
It is self-evident that such a confidential thing is in the hands of Shang Wu.
There are sufficient witnesses and material evidence, Shang Wu is a spy in Xingbei Pass, and the situation in Xingbei Pass was so critical last year, it is very likely that Shang Wu served as the barbarian's eyeliner and made a contribution to it.
But all this made Bei Chenlong very puzzled. When Shangwu went to the battlefield, he was extremely brave. He fought side by side with Lin Aoxue, showing great patriotic enthusiasm. Even in the battle to retake Poyan, Shangwu was stabbed several times , almost died in Poyan.
Later, when the barbarians attacked the city, Shang Wu was seriously injured again. Several military doctors tried their best to rescue him after guarding the city all night. He, how did Shangwu do so well?
His voice was full of anger, but also full of doubt and unbelievable bewilderment.
Shang Wu opened his eyes, and there was a brand new scar on his face, which was left after he was severely whipped with a whip dipped in salt water by the jailer.
Facing Bei Chenlong, his eyes were always calm, and he was not prepared to hide anything, but he replied when Bei Chenlong asked:
"General, I am from the Beichen Kingdom, but I grew up on the grassland. The princess of the Boka tribe was kind to me. When I was young, my parents died and I was displaced. Go to the grassland, teach me how to read and practice martial arts, and let me serve the Boca clan when I grow up."
There were no emotional ups and downs in Shang Wu's eyes, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"But when I returned to Beichen and sneaked into the army, I realized that the pain brought by the war was far more than death. Too many lives and deaths revived my dead conscience. The parting of comrades again and again, the fall of Poyan, Yong'an The incident of the destruction made me feel the pain of my parents' death once again, I began to regret it, and feared the cruelty of the battlefield, and I didn't want to go into this muddy water again, but I couldn't get out of it."
Although the words he said were calm, they undoubtedly confirmed that the fact that Poyan fell that time was indeed because he secretly passed the news to the outside of the pass, so that the barbarians quietly avoided the eyes of the northern border. Successfully captured Poyan before Beichenlong discovered it.
In this way, it is true that from the year when Shangwu came to Xingbeiguan, the actions of the barbarians became weird, and after that, they became more and more unscrupulous.
Bei Chenlong was so angry that his chest was about to explode, but he couldn't behave too badly because of this, he widened his eyes, looking at Shang Wu almost had flames coming out of them.
"How did you get your identity?! Your fiancée is a barbarian! How did she get into the customs?"
Bei Chenlong suppressed his anger, and asked his inner questions one by one. Shang Wu's eyes remained calm, his brows slightly drooped, and he replied expressionlessly:
"My identity was naturally prepared for me by the Queen of Boca. Since last year's autumn harvest, I have rarely sent out the news. The Queen suspects that my heart has changed. To verify whether I am still loyal to the Boca family, I sent I appointed this woman to supervise me, as for how she entered the customs, I have never known about it."
Bei Chenlong looked at him coldly, and asked again:
"Besides this woman, who else is your accomplice in the army?!"
Shang Wu shook his head this time, insisting that everything was done by himself, and he had nothing to do with anyone.
Bei Chenlong was enraged and scolded:
"I don't believe that the princess of the Boka family can manage my affairs in the northern border from far away in the grassland! The Poyan deployment map found in your house, and the guard changing document at the outpost, with your own strength, absolutely no It is possible to get it, and besides, you alone can pass the news out of Xingbei Pass, how can my defense of Xingbei Pass be fooled so easily? You'd better explain it honestly, so as not to suffer flesh and blood!"
There are too many doubts about this matter, Bei Chenlong is not a fool, he knows that Shang Wu still has to hide, and he is sure that behind Shang Wu, there is an unknown force, a huge black hand, stirring up the muddy water in the dark.
Hearing Bei Chenlong's series of questions, Shang Wu showed a smile on his face. He looked up at Bei Chenlong, and said calmly and sincerely:
"General, I tell you these things because, as a citizen of Beichen, I believe that I have done wrong things in the past, and my sins are unforgivable, so I am willing to pay for the sins I committed with my own life. Thanks to me, I can't betray her, no matter how much, I won't say a word, please give me a happy time, General."
He said such words, not only did not extinguish Bei Chenlong's anger, but made him even more irritable. Bei Chenlong pointed at Shang Wu's nose and shouted angrily:
"You have eaten the barbarian's cattle and sheep for a few years, and you have grown a heart of stone that is invulnerable to all poisons like that barbarian! You think that you, a traitor, can make up for the tens of thousands of people who died in Poyan and Yong'an Life? You are so naive and selfish, and you take that hypocritical death as righteousness, but you are just touching yourself!"
The more Bei Chenlong spoke, the more angry he became, but Shang Wu had already closed his eyes, as if he didn't listen to anything outside the window. He didn't listen to Bei Chenlong's words, and he didn't say anything more. No matter how much Bei Chenlong scolded, he was indifferent .
In desperation, Bei Chenlong gritted his teeth and averted his gaze, and ordered the barbarian woman captured from Shang Wu's house to be tortured severely. Exhausting cruel punishments, the female barbarian was not as tough as Shang Wu. After many twists and turns, the jailers finally let her The woman opened her mouth and revealed the ambition of Princess Boka.
The Queen of Boka is brave and good at fighting. She began to recharge her energy and start planning a few years ago, and in just a few years, she attacked most of the tribes on the grassland, allowing the originally loose grassland to condense into As a whole, the Rongwei clan is the most powerful in her hands and the closest sharp knife to Beichen Kingdom.
The news this woman said is somewhat different from what Lin Aoxue received last time, but generally speaking, the meaning is not that far apart. The Rongwei tribe is not independent as Wu Ping told Lin Aoxue, and has not yet been annexed by Boka. On the contrary, they first submitted to the The tribe of Queen Boca.
In the past two years, Princess Boka has used the Rongwei and Kezhan tribes to jointly harass the northern border, and has been testing the details of Xingbei Pass. I also have a certain understanding of the deployment of the defense situation. Maybe after a period of time, all the forces on the grassland will be gathered to attack Xingbei Pass on a large scale.
As soon as the news came out, Bei Chenlong broke out in a cold sweat. Before he knew it, the grassland people had secretly plotted a plan to overthrow Xingbeiguan, but the entire Xingbeiguan soldiers still knew nothing about it .With a serious expression on his face, he immediately returned to the camp, and summoned Yang Jin, Guo Wencheng and other confidant generals to discuss the matter with them in detail.
Yang Jin and the others were all dumbfounded when they heard such shocking news from Bei Chenlong's mouth. They never thought that such a major change had occurred in the grassland without their knowledge.The barbarians are no longer satisfied with snatching some food and grass from the northern border every autumn. Their goal is the fertile land in the entire northern border, and they have been eyeing Xing Beiguan since many years ago.
Bei Chenlong's expression was serious, he tapped on the table with five fingers, looked around, and hummed:
"What do you guys think of this matter?"
Guo Wencheng frowned and asked tentatively:
"General, how credible are the words of this barbarian?"
Bei Chenlong snorted coldly, his eyes flickered fiercely, and said through gritted teeth:
"Before I sent Lin Aoxue to investigate the movement of the barbarians outside the pass, and obtained the internal information of the barbarians. I also got similar news. I think this is true."
When Guo Wencheng heard this, his eyes froze. It turned out that Lin Aoxue was injured because of this incident, and was also promoted because of this incident.All the generals in the audience looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.
Yang Jin pondered for a moment, and then proposed:
"It's better to strike first than the general."
A gloomy light flashed in Bei Chenlong's eyes, he raised his head and asked:
"What does the Overseer mean?"
Yang Jin didn't hide anything, and said bluntly:
"The barbarians want to take advantage of my inattention and attack aggressively, but they haven't done anything so far, which means that they are not fully prepared internally. Now we have got the news in advance. If this information is confirmed to be true, why don't I wait a step faster and strike first? , let the barbarians suffer some hardships first, so that they can know that our army of the Beichen Kingdom is by no means capable of calculating everything."
After Yang Jin's words fell, all the generals present nodded in agreement, bluntly saying that what Yang Jin said was very true, and more than [-]% of the generals were in favor of sending troops to fight against the grassland barbarians.
"It's true that we have been guarding Xingbei Pass all these years, and we seldom leave the pass to kill the enemy. Did the barbarians have the illusion that we are a group of cowards hiding in Xingbei Pass, forgetting the prestige of our Xingbei Army back then? !"
A veteran took up the conversation filled with righteous indignation, and then another person echoed:
"Yes, instead of letting the barbarians dominate the battle and waiting for them to attack, let's take the initiative and catch them by surprise."
More and more voices calling for battle rang in Bei Chenlong's ears, buzzing, causing his forehead to throb like pain.
He shook his head vigorously, glanced coldly at the generals in the tent, then patted the table vigorously, and waited for the noise to subside before saying:
"What you said is true. Xingbeiguan should indeed make some changes. We did not do anything, and we actually increased the prestige of others. Immediately pass down an order to recruit [-] elite soldiers, and ask Lin Aoxue to lead the way, and strive to pull out the soldiers before the barbarians find out. Wei tribe!"
After Bei Chenlong gave an order, someone immediately took orders to go down. Yang Jin and Guo Wencheng left their tents to order troops, and all the generals went out one after another.Sitting at the table, Bei Chenlong kept recalling the faces of the people sitting in the tent just now when they spoke. After a long time, he sighed and said:
"Military division, have you found anything?"
The military adviser, who had been observing the generals behind the scenes, was silent for a long time before saying something that made Bei Chenlong extremely worried:
"No, any one of them may be a spy."
Bei Chenlong didn't believe that Shang Wu could get such a confidential document by himself, someone must have secretly helped him in the army, but Bei Chenlong couldn't pinpoint the identity of this person who secretly helped Shang Wu.
No matter which one of these high-ranking generals was promoted by him, he has seen all of their resumes and military exploits over the years. It is really difficult to determine for a while, who sent the news It was revealed, who actually betrayed him at such an important juncture.
He raised his hand to hold the space between his eyebrows, and rubbed it vigorously, then he let out a long sigh and said:
"But this time, my idea is to send troops to take the initiative to attack and teach the barbarians a lesson."
The military division did not refute his words, only said:
"You should be careful and don't panic."
Bei Chenlong nodded:
"I can save it."
Bei Chenlong decided to take the initiative to send troops to attack the Rongwei tribe on the grassland. The next day, he ordered [-] soldiers and horses, and set off from Xingbei Pass in a mighty manner.
Lin Aoxue's injury has not healed, but she is the only one who knows the way. After Bei Chenlong consulted Lin Aoxue's wishes, he got Yunyan's doctor's order. Lin Aoxue can ride a horse to fight with the army, but he cannot use force by himself. Without soldiers and horses, the army marched towards the grassland without stopping.
When Lin Aoxue heard from Bei Chenlong that Shang Wu was a spy inserted into the camp by the barbarians, she thought it was incredible. She had participated in several wars with Shang Wu, and Shang Wu was also the first person she knew well after entering the barracks. My friend, I never thought that in less than a month, Shang Wu would become a spy of the barbarians.
She recalled that time when she was fighting for Poyan Pass on the Poyan battlefield, Shangwu was wounded with several knives, but still stood by Lin Aoxue's side, opening the way for her, so that she could finally reach the city gate and open the city gate , Lin Aoxue was a little dazed.
Thinking about all of this now, it turned into an illusory dream. It was clearly in front of my eyes, but it lost its original warmth all of a sudden.
Lin Aoxue's heart was extremely depressed, and it was hard to describe what kind of mood she was in. She felt regretful and painful, but in these ups and downs of emotions, there was a two-point clarity and a helplessness that had been predicted in advance.
Before the incident, Shang Wu showed several different attitudes than usual, and the last time the barbarians attacked the city, Lin Aoxue went to the battlefield to collect the corpse and came back. When she saw Shang Wu in front of the city gate, the latter had a strange expression on his face. It also made Lin Aoxue suspicious.
It's just that she never thought that just as the doubts in her heart arose, everything was already a foregone conclusion.
What made her admire even more was the tricks of the barbarian princess behind Shang Wu, she managed to make Shang Wu willingly serve him, even if Shang Wu felt remorse in the end, she refused to disclose any information related to it.
The army was moving very fast. In order to prevent the barbarians from finding their tracks and to act as covertly as possible, Bei Chenlong dispatched some skilled secret guards in advance to clean up the scouts on the road. At the same time, he also strictly controlled everything in Xingbei Pass The trend is to shoot down all the birds released from Xingbeiguan, and not let anyone pass the news.
Lin Aoxue led Bei Chenlong to attack Rong Wei from the nearest road, and the [-] troops cleared away all the patrol soldiers left by Rong Wei on the border of the grassland with lightning speed, without letting anyone escape, and without giving them a chance to pass on the news In addition, the barbarians never thought that the people of Xingbeiguan would take the initiative to attack, so some omissions in defense allowed Beichenlong to enter the grassland quietly and approach the stronghold of the Rongwei tribe.
However, in less than half a day, Beichen's army passed through the green grassland and came to the stronghold of the Rongwei tribe. The target of the [-] army was obvious, and it was not easy to hide their tracks. Therefore, Beichenlong ordered not to approach the village before dark, so as not to advance The people in the tribe were alarmed and they were on guard. He led the army to find a place with a gentle slope and a bunker, and hid with the slope behind his back.
In addition, Bei Chenlong also sent scouts to approach carefully, take a look around, and bring back news that Rong Wei's army is stationed outside the village of the Rong Wei tribe, and everything is the same as usual.
As the sky darkened, Beichenlong saw that the time was right, and ordered to approach the village quietly. While alarming the patrolling soldiers outside the village, Beichenlong gave an order, and the drums beat. But after two rushes, the whole tribe became fragmented.
The barbarian panicked. He never thought that Xing Beiguan's army would run out from the northern border without a sound. This was not at all like Bei Chenlong's previous fighting style. In the eyes of these arrogant barbarians, Bei Chenlong was a shrunken turtle, he didn't dare to leave Xingbei Pass at all, even if they led troops to fight to Xingbei Pass, Bei Chenlong seldom went out to fight.
So they have always been unscrupulous in the grassland. They never thought that they would be killed on the grassland by the soldiers from the north and force them into such a mess.
But the barbarians are not vegetarians, they quickly reorganized their formation, although they lost some soldiers and horses because of the sudden battle, but their coping ability is still very outstanding, and they regained their form in a very short period of time. He ordered his soldiers not to panic, and began to fight against the army of Beichen Kingdom.
The terrain on the grassland is very open, which is actually not conducive to the army of Beichen Kingdom. The barbarians grew up on the grassland and have their own advantages. They are good at riding horses, and their cavalry combat capabilities are excellent. After a short period of panic, the barbarians are almost manned. A war horse, holding a broadsword after getting on the horse, rushed through the team, with astonishing lethality.
The infantry from Xingbeiguan was no match for the barbarian cavalry at all. After several reverse charges, the army of Xingbeiguan also began to suffer a large number of casualties.With a serious expression on his face, Bei Chenlong ordered to change the formation, let the cavalry step forward, the infantry retreat, and the archers formed a circle around the periphery, enclosing the entire Rongwei tribe.
Lin Aoxue was ordered to follow Bei Chenlong and was not allowed to go anywhere, so she could only sit on the horse and watch the battle situation below the gentle slope.
The chaotic rain of arrows caused great damage to the barbarians, and people fell off their horses and died. The barbarians had already planned to break through the encirclement and escape, but Beichen Long made up his mind to destroy the entire Rongwei tribe's stronghold. Before attacking, He calculated the possible retreat routes of the barbarians, and deployed troops early to block all retreat routes.
Seeing this, the barbarian knew that there was no hope of retreating, so he became even more vicious. He broke the boat and fought with his back. Everyone showed extraordinary strength, but due to the huge gap in the number of people, Bei Chenlong brought twice as many people as the troops in the stronghold of the Rongwei tribe. More than enough, even if the barbarians try their best to rebound, they will inevitably end up in a ruined situation.
The entire Rongwei tribe was taken over by Bei Chenlong's army. Bei Chenlong was ruthless this time and did not accept the surrender of the barbarians. The blood flowed like a river on the grassland of the Uyghur tribe before they called for gold and retreated.
He did not order people to collect the corpses, but immediately ordered to retreat after slaughtering the army of the Rongwei tribe. Just now, a scout sent news that a group of soldiers in uniform appeared in the east and were approaching here quickly. Roughly estimated , about 8 people.
Bei Chenlong knew that the reinforcements from the Rongwei tribe were coming. Although he lamented that the barbarians' reinforcements came quickly, he would not let these barbarians catch any chance. Since they came, let them clean up the corpses of these barbarians, while he The army under him ordered to pick up the famous badges on the battlefield, quickly withdraw their troops, and retreat towards Xingbei Pass.
This time the war started quickly and ended very quickly. The barbarian strongholds did not have high walls like Xingbeiguan. They only had the most ordinary farmhouses without any protection, because they never thought that Beichenlong would Take the initiative to send troops to attack and catch them by surprise.
It was precisely because of the previous experience of passively fighting at Xingbeiguan that blinded the barbarian soldiers and generals that they were easily wiped out.
But this does not mean that Xing Beiguan's army can run amok on the grassland. The grassland is always an unfamiliar environment for Bei Chenlong and his army. They can rely on luck and early prediction to win the first place. Zhang Zhang, but it does not mean that they can compete with the soldiers and horses of the entire grassland.
Bei Chenlong deeply understood this point, so he had no intention of fighting at all. Even though there were generals under his command who wanted to pursue the victory, he was summoned back by his absolutely irresistible military order, and led the army to retreat in a calm and orderly manner.
By the time the entire army returned to Xingbei Pass, it was already noon the next day. The battle of leaving Xingbei Pass was a great victory, and the barbarian Rongwei tribe no longer existed.
After this battle, Bei Chenlong became more and more sure that the forces inside the grassland had indeed reached cooperation and became a whole.If the Rongwei tribe were a single entity, then in today's battle, the reinforcements would not have arrived so quickly, and they would not have left in such a hurry.
Just because the battle had just started, the barbarians' reinforcements were in sight, which made Bei Chenlong confirm once again that the forces inside the grassland had been integrated, and the princess of the Boca clan was ambitious. If they didn't take the initiative to attack today, it wouldn't be long before tomorrow. The tens of thousands of people from the Rongwei tribe will become sharp knives in the hands of Queen Boka, piercing into the flesh and blood of Beichen Kingdom.
The integration of grassland forces is definitely not good news for Bei Chen. Bei Chenlong is very anxious, but the urgent report he sent back to the capital half a month ago has not received a reply until today, which makes him more anxious and restless. What kind of calculations did His Majesty the Qing Emperor have in mind?
He has always known that the military power in his hands is like a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the emperor, and he also knows how narrow-minded the emperor is, even if he puts down the military power in his hands, the disaster will only come faster.So he can't let it go, not only can't, but he has to gather this power in his own hands.
I thought the emperor would not be so ignorant, but the amount of food and grass he applied for from the emperor last year was not enough, and the medicinal herbs had to be left to him to figure out what to do. Now that the situation at the border is critical, the emperor not only does not understand his situation, but even sends Bei Chenlong couldn't bear to have an ancestor like the fifth prince come to serve him, and take away the military power in his hands.
The emperor refused to send troops to support the northern border, so Bei Chenlong kept thinking about what to do.
As soon as the army arrived at Xingbei Pass, Lin Aoxue saw Yunyan Tingting standing in front of the city gate from a distance. As soon as the team approached, Yunyan came up to meet her. Make sure she is not injured this time.
Many eyes gathered around, except for Bei Chenlong who was focused on other things and didn't pay much attention, the other generals all cast meaningful glances at Lin Aoxue.Yunyan's performance is so obvious that everyone can see that she has an unusual relationship with Lin Aoxue. In addition, Lin Aoxue has been injured recently, and Yunyan has been taking care of her all the time.
Lin Aoxue turned a blind eye to these gazes, pretending to be serious and awe-inspiring. When Yunyan asked her if she was hurt anywhere, she kept her eyes fixed and replied calmly:
"I'm not involved in this battle, Yan'er doesn't have to worry."
Seeing her like this, Yun Yan didn't know that this person had started to save face again, and didn't bother to brush her off. She did a little inspection to make sure that Lin Aoxue was not injured any more, and the wound on her back was not split. Only then breathed a sigh of relief and let go of my heart.
Bei Chenlong originally thought that after this surprise attack, most of the barbarians could not bear such humiliation and would soon send troops to attack Xing Beiguan. However, he waited and waited. Xiang Poyan and Mingzheng's troops also retreated, and they didn't look like they were about to attack.
Bei Chenlong was quite surprised by this phenomenon, but at the same time, his doubts became deeper and deeper. The task of investigating barbarian spies was still going on. If Bei Chenlong didn't pull the spies out of the barracks, he couldn't feel at ease for a day. , a month has passed without knowing it.
For a whole month, the barbarians did not come to the northern border.
The emperor undoubtedly thought that Bei Chenlong was bluffing and spreading fake news in order to gain more troops. With a sneer, he dismissed Bei Chenlong's urgent report and threw it into the documents he had already read. He didn't plan to read it again. .
Lin Aoxue's injuries were completely healed, and she resumed training. Every day before dawn, she would go to the school field to practice. Under Yun Yan's careful care of the three arrow holes on her back, none of them left a single scar.
Regarding this, Lin Aoxue couldn't express any appreciation except for being amazed. After all, she could only say "Yan'er's medical skills are really famous", that's all.
Yun Yan went back to the hospital after Lin Aoxue's injury healed. Bei Chenlong didn't want to tolerate her, she knew it, and she was in the military camp, some things were really inconvenient, so seeing Lin Aoxue's injury could almost leave her. People, she told Lin Aoxue and left the barracks by herself.
As soon as the person left, Lin Aoxue began to lose her mind, and she also became dazed during the practice. Bei Chenji laughed at her for being so helpless, but Lin Aoxue rarely did not refute, and smiled helplessly and somewhat joyfully.
Obviously, the relationship between her and Yun Yan has not changed much, they still respect each other, polite and restrained, but they have pierced the window paper in each other's hearts, and they are more open-minded to each other's subconscious overtures, but Lin Aoxue And I really understand that something has indeed changed, making the relationship between them subtle and complicated.
This is joyful, but also sad.
When it was Xiumu, Bei Chenji came to look for Lin Aoxue early in the morning, and wanted to ask her to go to the market for a drink. Unexpectedly, when he came, the guards told him that Commander Lin had gone out early in the morning. After turning around, I got the answer in my heart, I couldn't help shaking my head, and called Lu Sheng instead.
At this time, there were not many people in the Xingbei Market, and Yunyan's Yanxue Medical Hall had just opened its doors, and it welcomed a special guest.
Lin Aoxue didn't wear military uniform today, she stood in front of the medical hall for a long time, looked up at the name of the medical hall, immediately lowered her head in shame, with a serious face, chest heaving and falling, she was really nervous.
Nearly a month later, Lin Aoxue never left the barracks after communicating with Yunyan. This was the first time she took the initiative to look for her after she said goodbye to Yunyan and left the barracks.
Although it has been a long time, looking at the Yanxue medical hall on her head again, she still can't restrain the shame and embarrassment in her heart, feeling that she can't take the steps under her feet.
Maybe it was because she stood there for too long, the old man with a vegetable stall next to her glanced at her, seeing her looking fierce, as if she was about to tear down the pharmacy, his eyes showed suspicion and worry, very Pack up your things quickly and evacuate first.
As soon as the uncle left, the other nearby stalls around Lin Aoxue also cleaned up in twos and twos, and the stalls that had just been set up not long ago were all removed one by one without a trace.
Yun Yan was sitting in the hall, flipping through a medical book, a little surprised at how quiet the door was so quiet today, so she sent a servant to take a look at the door, the servant walked quickly to the front of the hall, saw Lin Aoxue, and immediately shouted:
"Lieutenant Lin!"
Inside the door, the medical technique in Yunyan's hand fell on the table with a thud, and outside the door, Lin Aoxue straightened her back in shock, and stood upright at the door of the medical hall.
Yun Yan quickly came back to her senses, she picked up the medical book with a smile and closed it, then turned her head to look at the door of the medical hall, Lin Aoxue would also pack up her emotions, and walked in, the eyes of the two met in the air, the look in Yun Yan's eyes The smile deepened by two points, and he said with a smile:
"A rare guest! Lieutenant Lin is here today, is there something important?"
Lin Aoxue had already adjusted her breathing before stepping in. She blinked her eyes vigorously, trying her best to make herself look calmer and more calm:
"Well, I'm here today to invite Miss Yunyan to attend an opera at the opposite Fuyun Village. I wonder if Miss Yunyan is free?"
The author has something to say: Well, every time I see my little cutie saying that my new book has improved a bit compared to the old one, I feel very happy. You are watching me grow up bit by bit, and accompany me all the way. Thank you very much!But at the same time, there was a very subtle feeling, as if I was being "nurtured"?
Hahahaha~
