The general said she doesn't take a wife

Half a day later, Lu Sheng came back with his people, and told Lin Aoxue with a dejected face that they hadn't heard anything about it. He said that when the villagers heard them mention bandits, they immediately shook their heads and avoided talking about it, and even picked up a hoe and beat them up. out of the village.

When Lin Aoxue heard this, her eyes became more thoughtful, and at the same time, she also felt a little caressing in her heart. She was a little funny, and patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder, asking Lu Sheng to change out of his military uniform and go to another village to visit Explore the situation.

Although Lu Sheng didn't understand why he had to change his military uniform to inquire about the gangsters, since it was Lin Aoxue's order, he obediently obeyed, and asked two more people to change their military uniforms into ordinary coarse clothes, and then went to another village Inquire about the situation.

After Lu Sheng left, Lin Aoxue dragged her chin in thought, thinking that it was true that the bandits were friendly with the people down the mountain, otherwise the people in the village would not have taken the initiative to cover up for those bandits.This actually made Lin Aoxue a little bit interested, and wanted to see who the bandits were.

Lu Sheng spent less time going out this time, came back soon, and then reported to Lin Aoxue excitedly:

"Pianjiang! There's news! What do you think these people are thinking? They protect that nest of bandits like a baby, but they are still very good at you. Why do I have to change my clothes to inquire about it!"

Lin Aoxue gave him a white look, and urged with a smile:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, tell me what news you found out?"

Lu Sheng was attacked by Lin Aoxue, but he didn't feel scared at all. He smiled and replied:

"There are nearly [-] bandits in that nest, and their stronghold is in the nearby mountains. The bandit leader is called Gao Cheng. I heard that he is a good hand. He used to perform on the street. He could lift a three-hundred-pound tripod with his bare hands. He was very righteous. Later, the emperor recruited soldiers. To arrest him, he fought with the conscripts in a rage, and was called a rebel army. Now that he was forced to become a rebel army, he simply led a few brothers to revolt, and while eradicating the bandit dens, While expanding the manpower, no, in just over a month, it has reached such a scale."

"He sent the looted food to the villagers for disaster relief. Because of being forced by the court, he was quite disgusted with the army. He often tried to plunder the food and grass of the regular army. He is a character with a bad temper!"

After listening to Lu Sheng's description, Lin Aoxue also found this altitude very interesting. She asked Lu Sheng if he had found out where the bandit army led by Gao Cheng was, but Lu Sheng said:

"Gao Cheng's group of bandit soldiers don't know the time or place to deliver food to the village every time. Even the people in the village only know that there is such a group of rebels, but they don't know their specific whereabouts."

After listening to Lu Sheng, Lin Aoxue nodded, thought for a while, and replied:

"You send a few people to monitor the situation in the nearby villages. If someone comes to deliver food next time, follow them to see if you can find their den of thieves. In addition, the bandits who spread news in the village and attacked Xingbei's grain and grass were captured alive. A leader will be executed in public soon."

Lu Sheng once again showed surprise. Lin Aoxue had no intention of killing the bandits, but why did he tell him to release such news? He was confused and didn't quite understand Lin Aoxue's intentions.

Lin Aoxue gave him a white look, and said to him:

"This bandit leader is a man of righteousness and hates the regular army. He will not see his brother beheaded and killed in public after we capture him. If the news is released, he may come here uninvited."

It was only then that Lu Sheng suddenly realized that he looked stupid.Lin Aoxue patted his shoulder and said with a smile:

"In the future, you should use your brain more for these things."

Lu Sheng laughed silly, scratched his head in embarrassment, said hello, then turned around and went out to arrange Lin Aoxue's order.

Lin Aoxue stationed the army outside the valley and waited for two days, but there was no movement from the village. She thought that if she continued to delay here, the army would waste food and grass, which would be unfavorable for the march. Lin Aoxue had no choice but to leave this place, and continued to march forward to put this matter aside.

She ordered someone to tie up the little bandit leader captured last time, saying that he would be executed in public, and then asked with a smile:

"Are you afraid?"

The leader is a bloody person, he snorted lightly, spat on the ground, and laughed loudly:

"If you want to kill, you have to kill Xi Ting Zun!"

He stayed in the camp for two days, Lin Aoxue gave him good food and drink, even if he died this time, it would not be a loss.Lin Aoxue didn't get angry, she waved someone to drag him down to the front of the army, where he was going to be executed in public.

But when the guard's blade was about to fall, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes kicking and trampling outside the slope, and the scouts immediately sent back the news, reporting that there was a group of people in the distance, the number of which was about ten thousand.

When Lin Aoxue heard this, the corners of her lips curled up, and there was a smile in her eyes, which really made her wait a lot.

She waved her hand to stop the soldiers who were about to be executed, and then waited for a while. When the two armies faced each other and could see the head of the enemy clearly, the leader of the group of bandits was riding a black horse with a bag on his back. With a broad-backed sword, he shouted and asked:

"Is Xing Beijun in charge in front?!"

With a silver gun in one hand, Lin Aoxue stepped on the horseback and took two steps forward, followed by Lu Sheng and Xu He. Xu He has been admiring Lin Aoxue since the last time she left the border with Lin Aoxue and went deep into the enemy's rear to rob the barbarians of food and grass. She often runs errands with Lu Sheng and actively handles affairs, and now she is considered half of Lin Aoxue's confidant.

When the enemy's voice fell, Lin Aoxue raised her head and replied:

"I'm Lin Aoxue of Xingbei Army, Your Excellency is the leader of the rebel army, Gao Cheng?"

"That's right, if you don't change your name or surname, I'm Gao Cheng! Your Excellency deliberately set up a trap to lure me here, isn't it just to capture our soldiers and horses, now that I'm here, do you want to fight?!"

The eyes of the brawny man on the black horse glistened with a ferocious look, and he was eager to try.He has a straightforward personality and says what he says. If Lin Aoxue wants to fight, he will not spare his life.When he admitted his identity, the steed under him snorted, showing a bit of agitation.

Lin Aoxue laughed, shook her head and sighed:

"Gao Zhuangshi's words are wrong! I set up this plan, but I insisted on conscripting everyone into the army, or indiscriminately killing people with lofty ideals in the name of crusade! In fact, I don't want anything!"

Gao Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, he had predicted in advance that Lin Aoxue must be angry because his subordinates attacked the army's food and grass, so he led him here to arrest him, but when Lin Aoxue opened his mouth, what he said was not what he said at the beginning. thought.

He frowned, wondering what kind of medicine Lin Aoxue was selling in the gourd. Seeing that his brother was still tied up with hemp rope, his face darkened, and he sneered and said:

"Hmph! You guys in the regular army really like to talk nonsense with your eyes open. My brother is still tied there by you, and you dare to ask me for something?!"

Gao Cheng's words were full of distaste for the regular army, and his expression was ferocious, as if if Lin Aoxue wanted to make any crooked ideas, he would immediately lead the people behind him to rush forward.

Lin Aoxue waved her hand, signaling her subordinates to untie the little leader and escort him to her side:

"So, may I talk to your Excellency?"

Gao Cheng became more and more puzzled, Lin Aoxue's actions seemed extremely strange to him, he frowned, testing Lin Aoxue's bottom line:

"You let people go first!"

Lin Aoxue took a step back, Gao Cheng took a step forward, and this time he asked for his release again.The smile in Lin Aoxue's eyes became even bigger, but she stopped conniving, and only said:

"Your Excellency is pushing the envelope, people can let it go, but before letting it go, I still have something to say!"

Hearing this, Gao Cheng's eyes showed vigilance, he clenched the reins tightly in his hands, and the bandit soldiers behind him whispered. Lin Aoxue's words and deeds not only puzzled Gao Cheng, but also made the bandits behind him suspicious.

"What are you going to do?!"

After a little hesitation, Gao Cheng replied in a loud voice, thinking that anyway, today's affairs have come to an end, he was originally going to save people, and it doesn't hurt to listen to Lin Aoxue's request.

The corners of Lin Aoxue's lips curled up, and she no longer had to go around with Gao Cheng, and said with a smile:

"I heard that you are short of food, and the bandits have been wiped out recently. Without a livelihood, it must be difficult for you to support so many people behind you, right?"

Gao Cheng's face froze, his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a while.He was a rough man with little knowledge, so he relied on his arrogance to gather such a group of brothers to fight against the indiscriminate conscription team.

But people have to eat when they are alive, and food cannot be created out of thin air. This year, natural disasters and man-made disasters have resulted in no crops in many places in the Central Plains. He robbed the nearby cottages to help the victims with enthusiasm, but after a long time, he discovered The team of [-] people was really attrition. There was a shortage of food in the village, and the rations gradually decreased, but there was no other way to make a living.

Just like what Lin Aoxue said, the family only knew that the oil and rice had not been easy to come by. It was very different from when he was walking alone in the rivers and lakes.

Seeing that Gao Cheng didn't answer, Lin Aoxue felt confident, so she raised her voice again:

"I have heard about Gao Zhuang's deeds in the past two days. I think that your Excellency and the brothers behind you are also benevolent and righteous people. Being a bandit in this remote village is too inferior. I might as well show you the way."

When Lin Aoxue said so, Gao Cheng hesitated. He gritted his teeth, looked solemn, and thought about it several times in his heart, and then asked:

"Come and listen."

Gao Cheng's attitude softened a bit, and his tone was not as impatient as before.

Lin Aoxue cleared her throat, and shouted in a low voice:

"Your Excellency, why don't you take these brothers north to Xingbei Pass and enlist in the army. How is the treatment of Xingbei Army? You can ask this strong man who has lived in our army for two days. He will definitely treat you well!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Aoxue said this, Gao Cheng's complexion changed abruptly, his brows and eyes raised, and he scolded:

"You tricked me!"

Lin Aoxue focused her eyes, thinking that this is the key point:

"Where did you say that?"

Gao Cheng looked angry, and said anxiously:

"Hmph, you know that I don't want to join the army, but you still say such things on purpose, aren't you fooling me like a three-year-old kid?!"

Lin Aoxue didn't look anxious at all, she laughed loudly when she saw Gao Cheng's anger soaring:

"Why don't you wait for me to finish speaking?"

Gao Cheng has lost his patience and glared:

"What else do you have to say?!"

The smile on Lin Aoxue's face didn't fade, she actually looked confident, she took off the silver gun with her back behind her back, pointed at Gao Cheng's nose and shouted:

"In my humble opinion, the reason why your Excellency refused to be called by the emperor to join the army must be because you have a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and you don't want to confront your fellow clansmen with swords. However, your Excellency has built a rebel army, robbing the rich and helping the poor, which shows that your Excellency is not a coward. , that being the case, why not use this heart of benevolence and righteousness to protect the country, rivers and mountains, and fight against the barbarians?"

"Your Excellency, do you know that the barbarians intend to break into Xingbei Pass every year, how many murders are committed in Xingbei Pass? How many people's food and grass are looted? The ferocity of the barbarians is far stronger than the mountain bandits in this countryside!"

Lin Aoxue's words were powerful and loud, and at the moment when Gao Cheng was speechless, he added another sentence:

"You wait here to sit and eat, and you won't even be able to save your own life at that time. How can you talk about helping the victims in the village? Since you have this opportunity now, and you don't want to fight each other with your fellow clansmen, then go north to Xingbeiguan to repay your ambition, and you will be rewarded with great ambition." Being able to live a lifetime without worries, such a best-of-both-worlds strategy, how can I lose to you!"

Gao Cheng's mind was shocked, even the man captured by Lin Aoxue was dumbfounded, and the bandit soldiers following behind Gao Cheng were in an uproar.Gao Cheng was riding on horseback, his eyes were flickering, and he was very tangled. He knew in his heart that if he continued like this, he would soon end up at the end of the road. Lin Aoxue's words touched him a lot, and made him feel a little nervous for a while. Trance.

After a while, he finally gritted his teeth, and under the astonished eyes of the bandits behind him, he took off the broad-backed broadsword behind him and held it in his hand.

"I have heard that General Lin was unparalleled in fighting the enemy on the battlefield. I was fortunate enough to see it. If I didn't hand in my hand, wouldn't it be a pity! Today I will put my words here. If General Lin can defeat me, I will lead the battle." This group of brothers went north and defected to General Lin, Fu Ruo, it's not my turn to be a weak person to tell me what to do!"

Gao Cheng's words resounded like a dull hammer, resounding through the entire valley, the army behind Lin Aoxue was in an uproar, and the bandit soldiers behind Gao Cheng were all staring.

They don't mind where they are going as long as they can get a meal behind Gao Cheng, but Gao Cheng is born with supernatural powers, and the brothers in the village can all see it. After going through ten moves, now Gao Cheng took the initiative to challenge Lin Aoxue, and Lin Aoxue's reputation spread all over Beichen, why not make people excited about the master's tricks?

Faced with Gao Cheng's invitation to fight, the Xingbei army laughed and lamented that Gao Cheng was overconfident, but Lin Aoxue raised his silver gun and suppressed the whispers in the army.The smile on her face was also put away, showing a cold and indifferent expression, confronting Gao Cheng with equal importance, and promised:

"According to Your Excellency's words, let's fight!"

Lu Sheng wasn't worried about the outcome of this battle at all. He took off the bag hanging from both sides of Lin Aoxue's saddle. Lin Aoxue was about ten steps away, staring at each other from afar.

"Please!"

The back of Gao Cheng's sword trembled, and he took the initiative to charge. Lin Aoxue raised his gun and gave Gao Cheng enough respect. Lin Aoxue's arm trembled, shedding most of her strength, and the legs and feet of the steed under her stepped into the ground, leaving several deep footprints.

Compared with Lin Aoxue's seemingly thin appearance, Gao Cheng's whole body exudes a very heavy hostility. When swords and guns meet, Gao Cheng suffers a lot of impact. Lin Aoxue seems to be thin and thin, but her skill of using strength to fight is wonderful Suddenly, the force of the shock made Gao Cheng's steed stagger back a small step.

The two fought against each other for the first time, but Lin Aoxue, who seemed to be weaker, had the upper hand.

"Hahaha! Have fun! General Lin must be careful!"

Gao Cheng only used [-]% of his strength for the knife just now, it is hard for ordinary people to bear this weight, unexpectedly Lin Aoxue took it easily, since this is the case, Gao Cheng no longer hides his clumsiness, and came back with another knife.

Lin Aoxue didn't move in the wind, and the tip of the spear turned around, not to be outdone.

The two rode their horses back and forth, and each confrontation was accompanied by intense tremors and neighing. Gao Cheng's sword swung with increasing force, and Lin Aoxue frowned. Such brute force was almost comparable to barbarians outside the pass. Therefore, when Gao Cheng's knife was about to hit her, Lin Aoxue's body suddenly fell sideways, hanging obliquely on the side of the saddle.

The tip of the gun stroked the blade, and hit the grid, there was a crisp bang, which made Gao Cheng's wrist numb, and the tiger's mouth was also split open. Lin Aoxue turned over and sat up again, and the gun body spun, hitting Gao Cheng's chest very quickly. , lifted him up violently, fell off the horse, and even the steel knife fell to his feet and plunged deep into the mud.

"Accepted!"

Lin Aoxue was still sitting on the horseback, looking down at Gao Cheng.The horse under her seat has a steady pace, without arrogance or impetuosity, and her temperament is similar to Lin Aoxue's.Gao Cheng was still a little dazed when he fell off the horse. He was shot in the chest by Lin Aoxue, and now he was in pain, and his breathing was a little uncomfortable, but he grinned.

The group of bandits looked at each other, some of them didn't even understand why Gao Cheng was suddenly picked off by Lin Aoxue. He was obviously evenly matched before, but the moment Lin Aoxue changed his moves and revealed his flaws, it turned into a chance for victory.

Gao Cheng laughed for a while, then got up and grabbed the handle of the big knife again, and put the big knife on his back with a bang:

"General Lin is really a fierce general, how inferior I am!"

Then, holding the black horse's rein in one hand, he turned his head to look at the brothers behind him, and shouted:

"Brothers! I'm going north to Xingbeiguan to kill the barbarians! If you want to go with me, you can stay. If you don't, there is still some rice in the village. You can divide it up and find a living for yourself!"

He didn't have anything to clean up, and if someone stayed, the food wouldn't go to waste.

Lin Aoxue admired Gao Cheng's character of saying one thing and immediately practicing it. She nodded with a smile, her eyes full of admiration.After Gao Cheng finished speaking, no one in the team behind him left. After the bandit soldiers looked at each other, they chose to stay. Gao Cheng laughed loudly again, got on his horse, and said to Lin Aoxue with a smile:

"General Lin, since none of my staff will go back to the village, I will ask General Lin to watch over the remaining food and distribute it to the people in the village. Besides, can General Lin let people go now?"

He was still thinking about his brother who was detained by Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue laughed loudly and said:

"of course."

Then she waved her hand, and the guards who were detaining the little boss released the man, allowing him to go back to Gao Cheng.

"Your Excellency is going to Xingbei Pass, just tell the general that Lin Aoxue recommended him, and the general will stay in Guanzhong."

Gao Cheng cupped his fists at Lin Aoxue again, and said:

"I wish General Lin an early victory and a triumphant return!"

"Auspicious words from Your Excellency!"

Lin Aoxue smiled, Gao Cheng told Lin Aoxue the location of his own mountain gate, and then led the soldiers and horses behind him to pass by Xing Beijun, plunged into the valley without looking back.

Lin Aoxue stared at the team going away, thinking that there was still time to see each other again, she immediately turned around, looked around, and gave the order to move.

The army marched forward again, and Lin Aoxue headed east all the way. Almost none of the cities he passed through was stubborn. The territory of the northern border soon expanded, and the cities occupied by the troops led by Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing were almost A quarter of the entire Beichen Kingdom.

Another half a month later, because the bandit soldiers in this area had been taken away by Gao Cheng, Lin Aoxue did not encounter any obstacles on the road, just captured a city, when changing defenses in the city, suddenly a fast horse came from a distance, Lin Aoxue looked far away Looking over, he recognized that it was the messenger from the north.

The man rushed to the bottom of the city tower, confirmed that the person standing on the city was Lin Aoxue, and immediately reported loudly:

"There is an urgent report from Xing Beiguan!"

Lin Aoxue opened the city gate to let the messenger in, the man came up to him, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said to Lin Aoxue:

"Lin Pianjiang! Xingbeiguan was raided by barbarians three days ago and is in danger. The general was assassinated and injured in his tent. He ordered General Pei and Lin Pianjiang to take care of the new city and immediately lead the troops back to help!"

This military report came suddenly, and Lin Aoxue was stunned when he heard it. There were [-] soldiers and horses left in Xingbei Pass. Normally, even if there were barbarian raids, the soldiers in the pass would not be so flustered. They were assassinated and injured in the army tent, so it can be seen that the attack of the barbarians this time is unusual.

Lin Aoxue supported the messenger's arm, frowned, and asked anxiously:

"Do you know who the leader of the barbarians is?"

The messenger knew everything:

"If you go back to Lin Pianjiang, the barbarian led the army this time is a woman, the same woman who went outside the pass to call for battle last time!"

Zhe Ji!

Lin Aoxue's heart sank immediately.She has personally experienced how powerful Zhe Ji is, and Zhe Ji's cohesion and prestige among the barbarian tribes are far beyond the comparison of ordinary barbarian generals.

Zhe Ji personally led the army to attack the city, Xingbeiguan only had [-] soldiers and horses, which was definitely not enough!

Her heart flustered all of a sudden, Yunyan was still at Xingbei Pass, if the barbarians were allowed to break through, Lin Aoxue would not be able to predict the consequences, nor would she even dare to imagine them!

Lin Aoxue gritted her teeth and made a decisive decision. She left [-] troops to garrison the city, and she took away the remaining [-] people. She set off immediately and rushed to Xingbei Pass non-stop.

Earlier, she and Pei Qing led the troops to go south to Wuyang, and then divided into two groups through Wuyang. On the way back, she felt that the road was extremely difficult.

No matter how she speeded up the pace of the march, the time was still delayed by the pace of the 10,000+ army.

Because it was impossible to determine the exact location of Lin Aoxue and the others, the messengers galloped along and followed their team all the way. It took three days to bring the news out of Xingbei Pass. Lin Aoxue led the army back, After traveling day and night, and walking for nearly ten days, they finally arrived at Yiping, which is the closest to Xingbei Pass.

When Lin Aoxue came to Yiping, the army led by Pei Qing was still on the way back. When Lin Aoxue saw many temporary military tents in Yiping from a distance, her heart felt as if a huge rock fell on it. Shen Shen, an extremely suppressed irritable and fearful mood almost drove her crazy.

She forced herself to restrain her panic, gritted her teeth and followed the messengers into the camp outside Yiping, found Bei Chenlong's tent, and hurried in.

Bei Chenlong's condition was not very good. He was recuperating on the bed, his face was pale, and he looked very haggard. When Lin Aoxue came, he subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the curtain. There seemed to be a little bit of panic in his eyes, until After distinguishing that it was Lin Aoxue, he breathed a sigh of relief, and waved to Lin Aoxue with a tired expression:

"Aoxue, come here."

Lin Aoxue walked towards Bei Chenlong with a frown, cupped her fists in front of his couch and saluted, and then asked:

"General, what happened? Why did it suddenly become like this?"

A man who was ambitious and majestic more than a month ago suddenly changed into this appearance.

But Bei Chenlong seemed to be hiding something in his eyes, with an extremely tired look, he raised his arm, Lin Aoxue took the initiative to step forward to help him up, he just moved like this, and immediately began to cough violently, Lin Aoxue had never Having seen Bei Chenlong suffer such severe injuries, what is the identity of the person who assassinated him this time?

She was very anxious, even though she had already guessed in her heart, she still forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, intending to hear a completely different result from Bei Chenlong.

Then Bei Chenlong spoke, and he said:

"Xingbei pass is broken."

Lin Aoxue's hand holding Bei Chenlong's arm suddenly tightened, her pupils constricted violently under the shock of her heart, and her heart almost stopped beating. He didn't ask about Yunyan's situation.

"The barbarians directly dispatched 15 soldiers and horses to attack the city this time. They occupied Xingbei Pass, and our army suffered heavy losses. The [-] garrison troops in the pass lost more than [-] troops."

This is a very tragic number, which sent chills down Lin Aoxue's spine.However, with Xingbeiguan's individual combat capability and the overall quality of the army, how can the barbarians attack the city with 15 soldiers and horses, and how can Xingbeiguan lose [-] in battle? !

But what scared Lin Aoxue the most was Bei Chenlong's following sentence:

"There are spies in the pass, and the barbarians are well aware of the defense situation of Xingbei Pass."

Lin Aoxue suddenly closed her eyes, feeling extremely sad.

With such casualties in front of his eyes, Lin Aoxue knew that there must be black hands behind it. Otherwise, with the geographical advantage of Xingbei Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the barbarians dispatched 15 troops, Xingbei Pass would only have [-] soldiers. It is not easy for soldiers to break through a city, let alone cause such a heavy loss of more than [-] people.

Collaborating with the enemy from the outside, assassinating from the inside, well-planned, and a master of the middle, even Bei Chenlong is no match for him, who is the opponent?How long was it buried in Xingbei Pass?

It would be fine if this spy was originally a barbarian, but if he was a member of Beichen Kingdom, he would help foreign enemies to harm more than [-] compatriots, what a vicious and cruel heart!

"Then in Xingbei Pass...how is the current situation?"

Lin Aoxue struggled for a long time, and finally only asked this question. She couldn't imagine how Xingbeiguan would be treated by barbarians. What happened in Yong'an that year was still vivid in her memory. She was afraid that what she was about to hear was something that she could not bear. news.

Bei Chenlong coughed twice before answering:

"The barbarians did not order the massacre of the city when they entered the pass this time, but the situation is not good. We are currently retreating to Yiping, and we don't have enough troops. We don't know how long Mingzheng and Poyan can last. We have to wait until Pei Qing arrives. Take Xingbei Pass back as soon as possible!"

Xingbeiguan is Beichenlong's obsession and his root. He has guarded this land for decades. It is true that his ambition for imperial power has diluted his enthusiasm for this pass mountain. But the moment Xingbeiguan fell, this The pride and feelings engraved in his bones were like a hammer hitting his heart, teaching him a lesson.

He wants to take Xing Beiguan back.

Hearing this, Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief. The barbarians did not slaughter the city, which meant that the people in the pass were fine for the time being. She nodded in agreement, and told Bei Chenlong to rest in peace, before she walked out of his camp.

Her face was in a daze, and there was a hint of fragility in her expression. She didn't know what was going on with Yunyan. Even if the barbarians didn't burn, kill and loot in the pass, the people in the pass would definitely not be safe. Is Yunyan waiting for her to rescue her?

Her heart was heavy, and within two steps, someone rushed up from the side and punched her head-on.

Lin Aoxue couldn't dodge because of distraction, and was hit impartially by the powerful punch, the mask on her face shattered with a crack, and she fell to the ground, and she herself staggered back a few steps, waiting for her anger When she looked up, she saw Gao Cheng, who had come to the north because of her words a few days ago, was staring at her with red eyes like a mad leopard.

The situation came suddenly, and the guards on both sides were stunned for a moment before they realized it. They rushed forward one after another, and several of them worked together to press the mad Gao Gao on the ground.

"Liar! You liar! Dong Zi is dead, and Xiao Fu is also dead! Your motherfucker is letting us die!"

Gao Cheng, who was restrained, struggled with all his strength. While crying and shouting, he hit the ground with his fists until his flesh was bloody.

Lin Aoxue was stunned by Gao Cheng's punch, and then heard his heart-piercing accusation, her whole body seemed to be taken out of her mind, she was in a trance, she pursed her lips, as if a hole had been dug in her heart, empty , the pain like a blunt knife cutting flesh was densely entangled, making her unable to tell whether it was more guilt or more regret.

She didn't expect such an accident to happen. If she had foreseen it, not to mention that she would not let Gao Cheng lead his bandit soldiers to the north to seek refuge, but would have taken Yunyan away from the very beginning. Or, let her leave the northern border and go back to the capital.

But the cruelest word in the world is if.

No ifs, no assumptions, only bloody reality.

None of them want such a thing to happen, and none of them can take responsibility for it.

She walked up to Gao Cheng, bent down and grabbed his collar, and returned a fist, hitting Gao Cheng's head on the ground with a bang.

Gao Cheng no longer struggled, his eyes were still scarlet, and he was prostrate on the ground, the scar on Lin Aoxue's face looked more ferocious at this moment.

She grasped Gao Cheng's skirt tightly, her five fingers clenched tightly, and her knuckles creaked.

"In this battle, [-] soldiers died in Xingbeiguan. All of them were as strong as your brothers. They were killed by traitors and barbarians with swords and guns. They were martyrs in the northern border, and we The pride of the people of Beichen, it is my sin to point out the way for you, but since you have decided to come up, you should be aware of it!"

"Crying and hating are useless, they will only humiliate their heroic souls! They spilled blood on Xingbei Pass, and let the barbarians continue to trample on them. It doesn't matter if you hate me, but you should still hate those barbarians!"

Lin Aoxue let go and let Gao Cheng fall to the ground. Her eyes were red and she said coldly:

"It won't be long before the army will take back Xingbei Pass and avenge them."

Gao Cheng was taken down, but Lin Aoxue did not order him to be locked up, but only asked him to calm down and think clearly.

When she turned her head again, Lin Aoxue ran into Pei Qing who was rushing towards him head-on. He was travel-laden and had just rushed back from the front line. He and Lin Aoxue looked at each other, nodded to each other, and then quickly disappeared into the camp.

Lin Aoxue blindfolded her eyes tiredly, tears soaked from the corners of her eyes, and she wiped them away vigorously.She is not hard-hearted, she can maintain reason most of the time, but the feeling of heartache is beyond the control of reason.

The person she cares most about is still at Xingbei Pass at the moment, but there is no other way but to wait for her. Xingbei Pass is so big and there are so many barbarians, it is by no means that she alone can fight against it, so even if her heart is already The pain was almost split open, and she still had to force herself to stay awake.

She took a deep breath, walked out of the camp quickly, and went to rectify the more than [-] soldiers and horses she brought back. Since Pei Qing has already returned, the army must be going out soon.

Not long after Pei Qing entered Beichenlong's military tent, he soon came out, and then Beichenlong issued a military order, calling all general-level officers to attend the discussion.

Lin Aoxue is now a general-level officer, so he can naturally participate in this meeting. Bei Chenlong called everyone into the camp, briefly described the current situation of Xing Beiguan, appointed Pei Qing as the chief general, and Lin Aoxue as the deputy general. The 30 soldiers and horses who arrived in Yiping and the [-] remnants of Xingbei Pass immediately marched to capture Xingbei Pass.

As soon as the military order was issued, a scout suddenly sent back a message from Xing Beiguan. Bei Chenlong let him in, but he saw the scout kneeling on one knee, and said in a panic:

"General! The Xingbei Pass has changed! The barbarian garrison has begun to retreat!"

what? !

All the generals in the account were shocked by the news. The barbarians seemed to have calculated the time for the Xingbei army to return to aid, and they had expected it one step earlier. The barbarians are about to retreat!

Bei Chenlong was so angry that the veins on his forehead twitched violently, but his injuries were serious. When he got angry, he immediately coughed violently, his face was bruised and purple, looking fierce.

He clenched his teeth tightly, slapped the edge of the bed, and said angrily:

"Send troops immediately!"

How could the barbarians make Xing Beiguan fall so hard, so how could they let them go?

"General, is there any fraud in this matter?"

The cunning of the barbarians has already made the soldiers of Xingbeiguan feel deep fear. They have to think more, what if they are just a trick to deceive others, and they lead the troops to rush there, but they are ambushed by the barbarians again? Is good?

Bei Chenlong's face was cloudy and uncertain. In the past, he might directly criticize this person as frightened and cowardly, but today is different from the past. The barbarians' deployment of troops is becoming more and more cunning, and it is indeed easy to fall into the trap simply by being brave.

Bei Chenlong coughed a few times, then looked up at Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing, panting and said:

"The two of you proceed carefully. First check to see if the barbarians are really retreating. Seizing the pass is the top priority. If there is a chance, it is best to deal a blow to the barbarians. But don't be greedy for success and make sure you are on the safe side."

Pei Qing and Lin Aoxue nodded in agreement, and they did not drag their feet. They discussed the strategy of capturing Xingbei Pass, and immediately arranged the general order to send the army to go straight to Xingbei Pass.

The barbarians had been stationed at Xingbei Pass for seven or eight days before, and this time there was news that they were about to retreat. Presumably none of the supplies in the pass were left behind. Sending back to Xingbeiguan, the attack on Poyan was exactly the same.

Lin Aoxue let out a long sigh, and tried her best to calm herself down. The most important thing right now is to cooperate with Pei Qing to take Xing Beiguan back.In fact, at the moment when she heard the news of the retreat of the barbarians, Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief. At least, they could take back the city faster, and she could go to confirm whether Yunyan was safe earlier.

Otherwise, no matter how much she cared about her, she would not be able to get news of Yunyan immediately.

Lin Aoxue's heart was extremely heavy, and even breathing felt very oppressive and uncomfortable, as if a blunt knife had cut her heart, making the pain in her heart persistent and severe, and could not be stopped.

The whereabouts of the army could not be concealed. It took them two hours to rush to Xingbei Pass. The entire pass was quiet, and the gates of Xingbei Pass were tightly closed, which looked extremely desolate under the sunset.

The scouts who had gone to Yiping to pass orders earlier led the way, contacted the scouts who had been squatting outside Xingbei Pass for continuous inspection, and reported to Pei Qinglin Aoxue and others that the barbarians had all evacuated from Xingbei Pass from the north gate an hour ago. Nor did they stay.

Pei Qing's face turned cold, and he and Lin Aoxue looked at each other, they both saw strangeness and suspicion in each other's eyes, they frowned, fearing that the barbarians were singing an empty city plan.

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Qing ordered a team of 5000 troops to break open the gate of the city, and the scouts entered the city first, with the army behind them waiting in full force, so that they could adapt to changes in case of accidents.

However, after the scouts enter the city, they will explore the pass and come back quickly to report:

"General Pei! General Lin! There are no barbarians in the pass! The barbarian army has withdrawn!"

Lin Aoxue stepped forward and asked:

"How about the people in the pass?"

Pei Qing glanced at her sideways, and secretly sighed that Lin Aoxue really loved the people like a child, and in this situation, the people in Xingbei Pass were what she cared most in her heart.

Frightened by Lin Aoxue's aura, the scout trembled all over, and replied respectfully:

"The people in Guanzhong stay behind closed doors, it doesn't look strange!"
