The runaway general of the black-bellied book

According to Li Yuze's instructions, the soldiers quickly pulled out the ground spikes that fixed the tent. Several soldiers wrapped the ground spikes with cloth and put them in their small bags.

Li Yuze clenched the saber in his hand—not only the soldiers who just came to report, but everyone standing here can hear the faint shouts coming from a distance... The soldiers and horses of the Qiang people , getting closer and closer to them.

The grassland was empty, and the night was quiet enough. The Qiang people did not deliberately cover up their whereabouts and voices, which was almost a blatant provocation.

Faced with such a provocation, Xuan Tieqi, who had long had a grudge with the Qiang tribe, had red eyes, looked at Li Yuze together, and said firmly, "Commander!"

——It's night now, and the mental state of the soldiers is not very good. If they go head-to-head with the Qiang tribe immediately, Li Yuze estimates that it may be difficult for them to gain any benefits from these Qiang tribes.

Li Yuze then looked at Zhao Chengbi, and confessed: "Brother Zhao, while there is still some time, you lead this group of soldiers and leave first. Yang Shu will take you, and you will leave Lanshan Pass from the west, and then cross the Heishui River. You can go to the north of Cangzhou..."

He said quickly: "When you arrive in the north of Cangzhou, after you settle down, you can find a way to reunite with us."

Zhao Chengbi looked at him anxiously: "What about you? What should you do?"

——This wave of Qiang people is obviously not easy to mess with, but Li Yuze left most of his troops to Zhao Chengbi, leaving only a small elite army for himself.

"Me? I... come to meet them." Li Yuze smiled, and under the cover of the night, that smile was a bit bloodthirsty and cruel.

——The goal of Xuantieqi is too huge, and these Qiang people are obviously prepared. If they really confront them head-on under such a lack of preparation, the whole Xuantieqi will probably be damaged a lot.

It is precisely because these are the subordinates that Li Yuze established by himself, and they are the black cavalry that he regards as part of his own flesh and blood, so he is unwilling to watch his soldiers go to death and make such unnecessary sacrifices...

——Let Zhao Chengbi take most of the black iron cavalry to move to the north of Cangzhou, and he took a small part of the elite to stay for them to delay for some time... In Li Yuze's view, this is already a limited time. This is the way to minimize the loss of the entire black iron cavalry.

"Soldiers!" Li Yuze raised his sword high and said loudly, "I, Li Yuze, have been in the Black Cavalry for more than five years, even if I die in Lanshan Pass today, I will not hesitate!"

"But if... today we are still lucky enough to escape and leave this life behind..." Under the shadow of the fire, his side face became more determined, "Think about our bullied people, think about us being killed I want you all to remember the actions of the Qiang people today! New and old hatreds, if there is a chance in the future, we will repay them together!"

The soldiers also raised their arms high following his words: "Commander!!!"

"We must die together, Commander!!!"

"The one who killed his grandma's leg——Damn Qiang people, I have nothing to do with you!!!"

"Congyi..." Zhao Chengbi stared blankly at this scene—he could feel that while Li Yuze was speaking, his fighting spirit and fighting spirit seemed to gradually wake up along with Li Yuze's high-pitched tone, that kind of His blood, which had gradually cooled down because of leaving the battlefield, boiled again because of Li Yuze's words.

"Brother Zhao..." Li Yuze walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Actually, I've always been a little regretful that I haven't had time to take you for a horse race in Shuobei before you come here... In winter, the ice is completely frozen. One piece, from the mountain forest over there to the snow-capped mountains, it’s really pretty.”

Zhao Chengbi closed his eyes and imagined the scene he described, and said with a smile: "Then there is a chance...you must take me around."

Time was running out, Li Yuze didn't say anything more, nodded and got on his horse, followed by a small group of soldiers, turned around and walked towards the pitch blackness.

Zhao Chengbi stared at his resolute back, and murmured: "There will be a chance..."

——There must be.

------

The night was dark, and everyone in the palace had already fallen into a deep sleep.However, under the shadow of the lights, the young emperor was still tirelessly correcting the official documents.

After correcting the scriptures for the past few days, Feng Qi lowered his head while staring at the north hanging on the wall, frowned again and fell into deep thought.

——The land of Qiangbei is a very barren piece of land.In order to survive, the people there have developed the habit of plunder and aggression since birth.

This despicable character seems to have penetrated into their bones and blood, and is deeply rooted.Even for the safety of the residents of the two countries, Feng Qi once thought of negotiating peace with them, but in the end, these despicable Qiang people repeatedly backtracked, and their trust was eroded.

"His Majesty--"

Wang Gonggong stumbled in, his feet were unsteady, and he almost knelt in front of Feng Qi.

"What's wrong?" Feng Qi frowned when he saw his flustered look, "He's being rash, what does he look like?!"

Wang Gonggong carefully looked at the expression of the emperor, and said softly: "General Li, there is news..."

Seeing his flustered look, Feng Qi knew in his heart that the news Li Yuze brought was more or less ominous.

It's just that as an emperor, even though his heart couldn't stop beating wildly, he still kept his expression on the surface: "What's the matter over there, tell me."

Feng Qi acted calmly, and the palms of Wang Gonggong's sweaty palms also cooled down a little.

He swallowed his dry throat, thought for a moment, and organized his words: "General Zhao sent someone to say that he and General Li were besieged by the Qiang people at Lanshan Pass the night before. In a critical moment, General Li himself took a small Xuan Tieqi's team fought head-on with the Qiang people, and bought time for them to escape from the encirclement. But now, General Li...General Li and the others are trapped in the Lanshan Pass area, hiding in the mountains. It is said that the Qiang people want to... It is said To capture General Li alive! Cut him open like a living creature! To vent the anger of their dead soldiers..."

"It's unreasonable!" As soon as Wang Gonggong finished speaking, Feng Qi was so angry that he almost dropped the official document in his hand, "This is simply deceiving people too much!"

Wang Gonggong bowed even lower, not even daring to show his air: "General Zhao wrote that the rest of them are the majority of the black iron cavalry, and they happen to be stationed in the north of Cangzhou, so they can go directly to encircle them." Outside the Qiang army. But... But if they are all on the periphery of the Qiang people, I am worried... General Li's manpower is not enough. If he rushes towards the Qiang army, he is afraid that the Qiang people will take the opportunity to continue to tighten their encirclement. "

Feng Qi closed his eyes and calmed his breathing: "Is there any news from Lanshan Pass?"

"No... but the terrain over there is easy to defend and difficult to attack. General Zhao said that General Li and the others should be considered safe." The prince shook his head, "but... but the general and the others did not bring enough food and water. , Now I am afraid that the Qiang people will search the mountains, or they will simply come and wait for the rabbit, then the general and the others, I am afraid... the disaster will be worse."

——Lanshan Pass is one of the most important passes in Dayan. Without Li Yuze, the morale of the Qiang people will definitely be boosted.If they were allowed to take this opportunity to break through Lanshan Pass, then...the entire Cangzhou would probably be exposed to the Qiang people.

"What did Zhao Chengbi say?" Feng Qi asked, and then said, "Where is that man? Bring him in!"

The prince said: "Just wait outside the door. The slave will call now."

He kowtowed to Feng Qi, then quickly turned around and left.After a while, a soldier in dusty clothes ran in, and when he saw Feng Qi, he knelt down: "Please save our general, Your Majesty! Please, Your Majesty..."

Feng Qi has never seen such a battle before, and he didn't care about etiquette, he quickly helped up the tearful young soldier: "Don't worry, tell me slowly... Can you take the letter from General Zhao Chengbi? "

The young soldier's face was also dusty, with tears streaming down his face, and his whole face was stained like a dirty cat: "Hold it, hold it...I'll bring it to you, please Your Majesty save our general..."

He kept saying these words, and his expression was still in shock. It's not hard to imagine that even Zhao Chengbi and his group, who had already escaped, had spent two difficult days.

Feng Qi took the letter from him - the letter was kept in the arms of the young soldier, and it was still warm.In the hidden corner, Zhao Chengbi deliberately left his own anti-counterfeiting mark... a special symbol with a little blood stains.

Feng Qi opened the letter, and after confirming that it was written by Zhao Chengbi, he almost read ten lines at a glance, not daring to breathe, for fear of missing some important content.

The soldier was standing opposite him - he himself had received Zhao Chengbi's order, so he came all the way without stopping, and even killed a horse on the way.Zhao Chengbi made it impossible for anyone except His Majesty to open it, so he really never opened it secretly.

At this moment, when he saw Feng Qi's expressionless face, frowning as he read the letter, he thought that Li Yuze was really doomed... he didn't dare to disturb Feng Qi who was concentrating on reading the letter, so he had to stand opposite him and silently Wipe away tears.

Feng Qi read the letter three times to confirm that he had understood Zhao Chengbi's meaning, and only then did he have the time to look at the person opposite.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at him, you are taken aback: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying again?"

The young soldier sobbed a few times: "General, is the general not feeling well...?"

Feng Qi sighed, glanced at him, turned his head and said to Wang Gonggong: "Go and see if the eldest princess is asleep?... If sister is not asleep, let her come over."

After receiving the order, the prince retreated, and soon invited the eldest princess over.

The princess seemed to have fallen asleep. When she came over, she was only wearing a loose robe, and even her hair was loose.

Her expression was extremely anxious, and she almost wanted to ask questions when she entered the door, but when she saw the crying little soldier standing inside, she shut her mouth again.

Feng Jingshu and his younger brother exchanged a knowing look, Feng Qi said to the soldier: "You go down first, don't worry, I will discuss it with the princess, and tomorrow I will send troops to meet with General Zhao. Today Let him arrange a place for you to stay first, and tomorrow you will set off from Zhuojing with the army."

After hearing Feng Qi's words, the soldier immediately knelt down in gratitude to thank him, and was led down by the prince, and found an empty room to rest.

Both of them left, only Feng Jingshu and his younger brother were left in the empty room.

There was no need to pretend, Feng Jingshu spoke directly in his own voice.

The male voice was clear and clear, with an indescribably pleasant feeling, but with a trace of obvious anxiety: "Shuobei...what's going on?"
