In another two days, there was a blizzard under Mu Yunguan. The wind and snow were dense, covering the sky and the sun. The sky and the earth were so vast that they almost blocked people's sight.
Although this weather is bad, it is an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack.
Jiang Yun was worried, so he went to inspect the Beacon Tower, and stared at the defense with Yun Huai.The sky was freezing and the snow was raging. Although Meng Hui developed a new plaster to relieve the old injury on Jiang Yun's arm, Yun Huai was still worried that His Highness's body would not be able to hold on.
The two walked on the city wall to inspect, and Yun Huai said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will strictly follow His Highness's instructions in the end, and will never slack off in the slightest. Your Highness should go back to Guanzhong."
Jiang Yun wore a thick fox fur and a light blue long jacket inside, and said, "It's okay, the beacon tower is of great importance, I don't want it to fall down so soon."
After speaking, Jiang Yun stopped, stood at the battlements, and looked out of the pass.
Yun Huai stopped and stood beside him.
He has been stationed at Muyun Pass for many years, so he naturally understands that the Beacon Tower is not only a simple city defense, but also a reassurance for the people in the entire Jiangnan area, and it is also a precious result of the year and a half of recuperation that His Highness replaced with a serious injury.
The beacon tower is here, and hundreds of thousands of people in the south of the Yangtze River can feel at ease.
If the Beacon Tower is lost, it means that Jiang Country has lost its first line of defense.
Even if there are no heavy casualties, it is not good for morale and people's hearts.
Jiang Yun stood facing the wind, his eyelashes covered with snowflakes, looking at thousands of lights hidden in the wind and snow ten miles away, like a dragon.He also doesn't know how tragically this battle will end, let alone how long the two city defenses he has painstakingly planned and deployed can stop Sui Heng.
He didn't want to meet him face to face, so he tried his best to defend the city.
As for the future, let's do our best and obey the destiny.
On the other hand, the Sui army also opened the gate to welcome guests on a snowy night. King Qi changed his mind again and sent an elite army to Sui Heng without regard to rewards. And another strong general of Qi State led.
In addition to [-] elite soldiers, Qi State also equipped [-] giant chariots specially used for siege. Xu Qiao personally led people to inspect and accept them, and found that the chariots made by Qi State were indeed well-equipped, and they were more commonly used in the armies of other countries. His chariot is much stronger, probably due to the contribution of Duan Hou who is good at forging weapons.
Xu Qiaoting was envious of those chariots, and asked Sui Heng what to do with them.
Sui Heng narrowed his eyes, and said: "Put away the things first, and keep an eye on people."
Xu Qiao understood, and took the order to go.
Tian Ye soon discovered that the Sui Crown Prince was polite to him on the surface, but in fact he was very perfunctory. He was not allowed to participate in military discussions or actual combat. He was only allowed to stay in the tent all day, drinking and eating. Meat.He wanted to find out some news, but everyone in the Blue Wolf Battalion only obeyed the orders of the coach, Sui Heng, and ignored him at all.
Another general, Tian Ying, said: "The Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom is deliberately guarding against us. I heard that this man has a devilish heart and a thunderous hand. We'd better not provoke him."
Tian Ye didn't say a word, and the next day, taking the opportunity of eating meat and drinking, he bribed Sui Bing, hoping to get news from Sui Bing.Xu Qiao was in charge of monitoring the actions of the two, and told Sui Heng of all Tian Ye's actions.
Sui Heng pondered for a moment, and asked Shifang to invite Tian Ye to come to the tent and host a banquet.
Tian Ye was surprised and delighted.
"Gu has admired the general for a long time. In Gu's eyes, the general is the number one general in Qi. Here in Gu, the general doesn't have to be restrained."
Sui Heng praised Tian Ye ecstatically, and kept asking people to pour wine for him.
When Tian Ye drank, he tended to reveal his arrogant side. He looked at Sui Heng drunkenly, and said: "I have admired His Highness's heroism for a long time. His Highness shot and killed Tian Meng, which really made me happy! I offer a toast to His Majesty!"
He wobbled and raised his wine glass, came to Sui Heng, and said, "That guy Tian Meng, you beat me everywhere, even a Kunnu wants to snatch me...I wish I could kill him with my own hands and tear him to pieces. part."
Sui Heng wanted to say something else, but when he heard that, the hand holding the wine cup stopped abruptly.
After a while, he lowered his head and shook the wine cup, covered his murderous eyes, and asked casually, "What Kunnu?"
"A very beautiful little Kun Nu, who is simply a rare treasure... It was my turn, and he took advantage of his power to snatch him away."
Sui Heng held the wine cup in his palm, and asked, "How about after taking it away?"
"He has a fierce personality, stronger than a fierce horse. I heard that in order not to serve in the king's bedchamber, he swallowed poison and burned his stomach. The king was furious and threw him into the hands of the people below. In the school, they took turns to train them, and they also strictly ordered them to be tame and not to touch people... Tian Meng, who is notoriously tyrannical, likes to hang people on the flagpole at every turn. He hangs them for several days and dislocates his wrist It's all light..."
The wine cup in Sui Heng's hand cracked and shattered, his eyes were gloomy as if they were about to drip.
The fragments of the wine cups cut his fingers, and he didn't realize it.
Sui Heng ignored the confused Tian Ye, got up and walked out of the big tent.
The wind and snow hit my face, and for a while, the past that had been buried deep in my heart for a long time rolled out, which was almost covered in dust.
He remembered the phrase he said, "Since I was young, Your Highness has been the best person to me."
I also remembered what he said, "Your Highness thinks I'm unclean, it's normal, no one in the world should believe that I can walk out of it cleanly."
He remembered that he let him walk alone in the muddy mountain path in the rain, and he remembered that he drove him to live in the cold room in the west courtyard.
I even thought of that early morning, with the morning dew, the plum blossom lying quietly beside the pillow.
He deliberately made himself forget a lot of things, and at this moment he suddenly realized that he hadn't forgotten a single thing, but clearly remembered every detail about him.
He regretted not being able to take better care of him when he was in Sui Capital.
Knowing that he has suffered a lot and suffered a lot, he still treats him like that.
Now that Shangqiongbi has fallen into hell, he may never find him, and he will never have a chance to make up for it.
Sui Heng took out the dry flower branch from his bosom, squatting in the snow as if his heart had been dug out into a huge bottomless pit, his shoulders trembling violently.
Shi Fang stood behind silently, not daring to disturb him.
Early the next morning, Xu Qiao first found Sui Heng who was squatting in the snow and was about to turn into a snowman.
Xu Qiao glanced at Shi Fang, Shi Fang shook his head.
Xu Qiao was worried that something might happen to Sui Heng, so he stepped forward and patted Sui Heng's shoulder lightly.
"Your Highness?"
Xu Qiao tentatively called out.
Sui Heng turned his head, glanced at him, and then said, "Get up with help."
"Your Highness is this?"
"The legs are numb."
Sui Heng said expressionlessly.
Xu Qiao: "..."
Xu Qiao hurriedly helped him up with Shi Fang, and asked with concern, "Why is Your Highness staying here?"
Sui Heng didn't answer, but patted the snow off his body, and the calm and sharp color between his brows had returned.
As he walked into the tent, he asked Shifang, "Where is the surname Tian?"
"He was drunk last night, and the subordinates sent him back directly."
Xu Qiao heard about Sui Heng entertaining Tian Ye in the tent, and asked, "What did your Highness find?"
Sui Heng didn't answer, only curled the corners of his lips coldly.
"I'm just thinking, since the king of Qi has such a good intention this time, I shouldn't refuse it, but should accept it."
Xu Qiao was taken aback.
Because in Sui Heng's eyes, there was clearly a cold killing intent.The last time he saw this kind of look in Sui Heng's eyes was when Sui Heng shot and killed Tian Meng in public at the Qi envoy's banquet.
In the evening, Sui Heng raised the account again to discuss matters, and called Tian Ye and Tian Ying for the first time. Sui Heng sighed with feigned melancholy: "At present, Muyun Pass has been unable to attack for a long time. It can solve the urgent need."
Tian Ye Tian Ying had a vague premonition.
Sui Heng said: "Tonight is the rare blizzard in Muyun Pass in ten years. I just want to invite the two generals to lead their elites to sneak attack at night, and cooperate with the lonely inside and outside to break through the beacon tower."
"If this battle is successful, I will go to the king of Qi and give a grand reward to the two generals. The positions in the lonely army will also be chosen by the two generals."
Sui Heng actually wanted to instigate rebellion directly.
Tian Ying hesitated.
To be honest, as a foreign aid force, they had no reason to rush to the front and die for the Sui army. The Sui army had not captured Beacon Tower for more than half a month. Now let them take advantage of it. Sui Heng's behavior is simply shameless.What's more, he was born as an aristocrat of the Qi State, and he has no intention of serving in the Sui State for the time being.But King Qi sent them over to support the Sui army in combat, and they had no reason to refuse.
And most importantly, King Qi sent them here to reap the benefits, not to charge them into battle. If they lost too many troops, they would not be able to explain to the king after returning home.
Tian Ying wanted to refuse, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw two rows of mighty and strong generals of the Qinglang Camp with knives on their waists and murderous looks, but he didn't dare to speak out.
This prince of the Sui Kingdom is really too brutal and shameless!
Tian Ying couldn't help but glanced at Tian Ye resentfully, he was not stupid, and immediately guessed that Sui Heng had offended Sui Heng due to Tian Ye's various imbecile behaviors recently, and the other party came up with such a dirty trick to punish them.
Tian Ying asked: "I don't know what His Highness means by combining the inside and the outside?"
Sui Heng laughed uncontrollably and said: "I have my own opinion, and the plan will inevitably be leaked, so I won't discuss it with the two generals in detail. It's not early, the two generals will set off at the right time."
"Waiting for the two generals to return from victory."
Even if Tian Ye and Tian Ying were unwilling, they could only accept orders.
Sui Heng immediately summoned brothers Lu Jishi and Lu Anmin to ask about the training of the [-] sailors.
Lu Jishi said: "They are all ready and ready to go at any time, but it has been snowing these past two days, and the weather is too cold, they may not be able to stay underwater for too long."
Sui Heng crossed his arms, with a sharp murderous look between his brows, his eyes were still fixed on the huge Jiangnan water system map, and said, "No hurry."
"When you take down the Beacon Tower, it's time to fight alone. If you want to win alone, you must take Muyun Pass."
That night, the beacon tower was violently attacked by [-] elite cavalry led by Tian Ye and Tian Ying.
Tian Ye and Tian Ying are all capable fighters. They took advantage of the wind and snow to slam into the city walls and gates with their modified giant chariots.Affected by the wind and snow, the performance of the cloud crossbow erected on the stage was greatly affected.
Jiang Yun was changing the plaster on his right arm. When he heard that it was Qi Jun who was attacking, he paused.
"Are you sure it's Qi Jun?"
"Yes, the last general has repeatedly confirmed that they are flying the military flag of the Qi army, and the word 'Tian' is written on the handsome flag. It is said that it is an elite army sent to the Sui army by the king of Qi for free. As a condition for forming an alliance with the Sui Kingdom."
Jiang Yun finished changing the medicine calmly, put down his cuffs, and asked, "Tianye?"
"Yes, I heard that this person is from the same clan as Tian Meng, the dead number one general of Qi State, and he is very brave and good at fighting."
Jiang Yun got up and said: "It's okay, I will be alone with all the soldiers tonight, and I will not let the Qi army step into the beacon tower."
Jiang Yun was still wearing fox fur, and pushed the door out.The wind and snow were raging outside, Jiang Yun stood in the snow, turned his head and said to Yun Huai who was still standing there: "Let's go, don't waste time."
The Qi army was approaching menacingly, and Jiang Guo's guards had prepared for a long time. When the Qi army approached, they immediately dropped wood, stone, fire oil and other objects to prevent the Qi army from climbing the wall. With Jiang Yun personally sitting in the gate tower, the morale of the guards on the beacon tower It is unprecedentedly high.
Tian Ye Tian Ying was forced to join the battle, so he was naturally unwilling to lose too many troops of his own. After launching two rounds of attacks in succession, seeing that Jiang Guo was well prepared, he immediately called for money to withdraw his troops.
However, when the two arrived at the gate, the general guarding the gate said: "His Royal Highness is not in the camp. Before leaving, he specifically ordered that the beacon tower is of great importance. If the beacon tower cannot be captured, the two generals cannot return to the camp."
"Besides, the Beacon Tower is related to His Highness's important plan. I hope you two must not delay His Highness's fighter plane."
Tian Ying and Tian Ye were furious.
However, looking at the tightly closed gate and the iron cavalry surrounded by the dark clouds like a tide, they felt a little chills in their hearts.
They had just gone through a fierce battle, and lost some soldiers, the number was less than 30, but Sui Heng held [-] cavalry from the Qinglang Battalion, and a group of subordinate national soldiers and horses.
If they disobeyed the military orders and fought with the Sui army, they would definitely not be able to fight. However, Sui Heng's treatment of the allied reinforcements in this way was simply trampling the king's face on the ground.
How dare this prince of the Sui Kingdom!
Tian Ying said: "It's not that we didn't do our best, but that the other party was well prepared. Our first round of attack alarmed the other party's sentries, but we couldn't catch the other party by surprise. Can the general report the truth to His Highness so that His Highness can accommodate us?" ?”
The guard was expressionless: "We are only responsible for passing orders, not for other things."
Tian Ye and Tian Ying wanted to flee back to Qi State at night, but they didn't travel far when they met an elite of the Qinglang Battalion head-on, and the leader asked with a smile, "Didn't the two generals be ordered to attack the Beacon Tower? How are you going?" In this direction?"
Tian Ye Tian Ying was already guilty, but she became more guilty when she heard the words, and said vaguely: "The wind and snow are too heavy, and I lost my way for a while."
"It's okay."
The general twirled his horsewhip: "I have good eyesight, I will show the two of you the way."
The two had no choice but to lead the troops back.
Tian Ying was a little negative, but Tian Ye was full of ambition, his eagle eyes flashed coldly in the dark night, and he said: "The prince of the Sui Kingdom just wants the beacon tower, it is better to shoot it down and give it to him than to sit and wait for death. "
"Don't forget, the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom even dared to shoot Tian Meng. If we continue to disobey his military orders, we may end up with nothing good."
In the middle of the night, the Qi army launched another fierce attack.
The wind and snow were dense, and the roar of the beacon tower was loud.
Jiang Yun stayed in town until dawn, most of the cloud crossbow of the beacon tower was damaged by the Qi soldiers climbing up the wall, and a large part of the city wall was also damaged. Fortunately, the Qi soldiers also suffered heavy losses.
However, there is no time to repair the city wall right now, and the Sui soldiers who are dormant behind will launch a new round of attack immediately.
Jiang Yun made a decisive decision immediately, and all the defenders immediately withdrew to Muyun Pass.
Yun Huai directed the withdrawal of troops, looking at the dilapidated and incomplete beacon tower, he felt a bit reluctant to part with it.If it weren't for the powerful chariot of the Qi State, this high platform could have lasted for a while longer.
Jiang Yun didn't stop, returned to Muyunguan, immediately raised his account to discuss the next battle plan.Once the beacon tower is lost, Muyunguan will become the real main battlefield for the confrontation between the two armies.
Just as he was talking, Gongsun Yang suddenly rushed in, knelt down in the tent, and said, "Your Highness, the little Huangsun is gone!"
The faces of the generals changed drastically.
Fan Zhou asked anxiously: "What do you mean by disappearing? The little emperor's grandson's residence is heavily guarded, how could he suddenly disappear?"
Gongsun Yang's eyes were red.
"It's all my negligence. When the sky was about to dawn this morning, the little emperor's grandson suddenly opened his eyes, touched his stomach and said he was hungry and wanted to drink antler soup. I believed it was true and ordered the palace staff to go to the kitchen to get it. It's gone. A guard saw that the little Huangsun sneaked into the palace of the Highness again. When I rushed over, I found that the little Huangsun was not there. I searched all the places, but there was no trace of the little Huangsun. "
"The subordinates are worried, will the little emperor's grandson..."
Gongsun Yang wished he could slap his ears twice.
Fan Zhou's heart sank. His Highness was not in the pass last night, and the guards and attendants around His Highness also left with His Highness. His Highness's palace was not strictly guarded.
Fan Zhou looked at Jiang Yun with some concern.
"It's okay, everyone discuss first, go and see the situation alone."
Jiang Yun went out of the tent as usual, and when he was outside the tent, after hearing the detailed situation from Gongsun Yang, Fang supported the tent door and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Tian Ye Tianying returned to the Sui Army camp with only a few hundred remnants.
The Sui soldiers who were dormant behind occupied the Beacon Tower with lightning speed.
The main tower of the Beacon Tower was directly razed to the ground, and the Sui soldiers' tents were moved forward ten miles as a whole, and they set up camp again.
Tian Ye and Tian Ying were waiting for Sui Heng's reward. In order to break through the beacon tower, they almost lost all their soldiers and horses. However, instead of rewarding them as agreed, Sui Heng wanted to punish them with military sticks.
"Here in Gu, if you don't capture the main stage, you are defeated."
"It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, but there is still a chance to advance, but you throw away your helmet and armor and run away. According to the rules of the Qinglang Camp, you will be punished severely."
"Nian, you two have worked hard, and you have come all the way to help, so you will be cut in half, and each of you will be fined a hundred army sticks."
With a wave of Sui Heng's hand, Tian Ye Tian Ying was dragged down.
But Sui Heng took down the Beacon Tower without spending any of his own soldiers. The morale of the Sui army was greatly boosted, and Sui Heng held a celebration banquet in the army to reward the whole army.
Although Qi State was not a subordinate state of Sui State, the fate of Tian Ye and Tian Ying was seen by the rulers and ministers of all the subordinate states.
Lord Chen Guoguo: "I heard that it was Tianye who talked nonsense after drinking, was arrogant and arrogant, offended His Highness, and was punished by His Highness in this way."
The Lord of Wei's hand holding the wine glass froze slightly.
The country of Wei is small and weak, so he did not lead many soldiers and horses this time when he went north to fight.
Seeing the state of Qi's end, the leader of the state of Wei was very worried that Sui Heng would think that he was passive and slack, and would target him as he had targeted Qi.
Lord Chen comforted him.
"It doesn't matter, the widow and His Highness are more likely to understand His Highness's disposition best. Although His Highness is a bit harsh and ruthless, he is by no means a person who says nothing."
"As long as Brother Wei honestly obeys His Highness' instructions, don't be like that Tian Ye Tian Ying, who is arrogant, thinks of himself too much, and wants to challenge His Highness, His Highness will not treat you badly."
The Lord of the Wei Kingdom responded with a heavy heart.
He was very envious of Jiang Yuping who was sitting next to him. The navy presented by Jiang Yuping was reused by Sui Heng. This time the spring breeze was in full swing, and he circled around Sui Heng every day, not like him.
Chen Qi was also worried about something, and returned to the tent before the celebration banquet was over.
"grown ups."
A musician in a black robe and a black veil greeted him.
Chen Qi asked: "How?"
The musician nodded, and led Chen Qi inside. There was a sack beside the marching bed.
The musician untied the sack, revealing a beautiful snow dumpling.
It was a baby less than one year old, with skin that could be broken by blows and bullets, and two small horns pierced on its head. At this moment, it seemed to have fallen asleep.
Chen Qi asked: "Are you sure this is Jiang Guo's little grandson? What happened to him?"
The musician nodded and said, "To be safe, my subordinates used drugs."
Chen Qi naturally wouldn't ask about the details of the kidnapping.
The musician asked, "Why didn't your lord hand him over to His Highness immediately?"
Chen Qi shook his head: "The time has not yet come, you should take good care of this kid first, and never let outsiders know of his existence."
"Yes."
The musician and Chen Qi went out together, but they didn't notice that Xiaotuanzi in the sack behind him opened his dark and bright eyes, staring at their backs coldly.
This matter was kept secret, except for his confidantes, Chen Qi did not let more people know about it. Most of the time, the musicians stayed in the tent to guard, and the musicians took the meals in person.
However, in the afternoon of this day, when the musician came back with food, he found that the sack was empty, and the little boy who had stayed in it obediently had disappeared.
"what happened!"
When Chen Qi heard the news, he rushed back with a gloomy expression.
The musician also found it unbelievable: "There are so many soldiers guarding outside the tent, it is impossible for him to escape as a young child."
"But he just escaped!"
Chen Qi was already a little out of breath.
"No matter what method is used, the person must be found immediately!"
This time he was acting behind Sui Heng's back, if the baby died in his hands, there would be endless troubles.
However, after two full days, Chen Qi tried his best, but he still didn't find anyone or a corpse. Such a small baby seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
After taking down the Beacon Tower, the next step is to go straight to Muyun Pass.
Sui Heng convened the generals to discuss the matter and formulate the next battle plan. He returned late at night, and just sat down in the tent when Shi Fang came in to report: "Your Highness, the son of the Kingdom of Wei seeks to see you."
Sui Heng asked: "What is he doing here?"
"I heard that I came to see His Highness under the order of the Lord of Wei."
Sui Heng said: "Let him in."
Wei Yun walked in.
Sui Heng was wiping his knife when he suddenly smelled a smell, he paused, looked up, and saw Wei Yun wearing a green shirt, standing in the tent.
Wei Yun is the former son of Rong, known as the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, with outstanding appearance, he usually likes to wear white brocade robes, but now he puts on a simple and elegant green shirt, which has a special taste.
Sui Heng lowered his head and said, "Take it off."
Wei Yun was taken aback.
Sui Heng continued: "You are not qualified to wear this dress, and next time, Gu will kill you directly."
This is the second time that Wei Yun has been humiliated in front of Sui Heng.
Wei Yun's complexion was snow-white, and he took off the green shirt in front of Sui Heng, trembling all over, and retreated.
After Sui Heng wiped his knife in silence, he got up and prepared to sleep. During the march and battle, he never disarmed, but as soon as he walked to the bed curtain, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Staring under the bed, said: "Come out."
After a while, a Xuetuanzi Fang got out from under the bed, looking at him pitifully with two big watery eyes.
Sui Heng was taken aback.
Where did the child come from.
Although this weather is bad, it is an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack.
Jiang Yun was worried, so he went to inspect the Beacon Tower, and stared at the defense with Yun Huai.The sky was freezing and the snow was raging. Although Meng Hui developed a new plaster to relieve the old injury on Jiang Yun's arm, Yun Huai was still worried that His Highness's body would not be able to hold on.
The two walked on the city wall to inspect, and Yun Huai said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will strictly follow His Highness's instructions in the end, and will never slack off in the slightest. Your Highness should go back to Guanzhong."
Jiang Yun wore a thick fox fur and a light blue long jacket inside, and said, "It's okay, the beacon tower is of great importance, I don't want it to fall down so soon."
After speaking, Jiang Yun stopped, stood at the battlements, and looked out of the pass.
Yun Huai stopped and stood beside him.
He has been stationed at Muyun Pass for many years, so he naturally understands that the Beacon Tower is not only a simple city defense, but also a reassurance for the people in the entire Jiangnan area, and it is also a precious result of the year and a half of recuperation that His Highness replaced with a serious injury.
The beacon tower is here, and hundreds of thousands of people in the south of the Yangtze River can feel at ease.
If the Beacon Tower is lost, it means that Jiang Country has lost its first line of defense.
Even if there are no heavy casualties, it is not good for morale and people's hearts.
Jiang Yun stood facing the wind, his eyelashes covered with snowflakes, looking at thousands of lights hidden in the wind and snow ten miles away, like a dragon.He also doesn't know how tragically this battle will end, let alone how long the two city defenses he has painstakingly planned and deployed can stop Sui Heng.
He didn't want to meet him face to face, so he tried his best to defend the city.
As for the future, let's do our best and obey the destiny.
On the other hand, the Sui army also opened the gate to welcome guests on a snowy night. King Qi changed his mind again and sent an elite army to Sui Heng without regard to rewards. And another strong general of Qi State led.

Xu Qiao understood, and took the order to go.

The wine cup in Sui Heng's hand cracked and shattered, his eyes were gloomy as if they were about to drip.
The fragments of the wine cups cut his fingers, and he didn't realize it.
Sui Heng ignored the confused Tian Ye, got up and walked out of the big tent.

Shi Fang stood behind silently, not daring to disturb him.
Early the next morning, Xu Qiao first found Sui Heng who was squatting in the snow and was about to turn into a snowman.
Xu Qiao glanced at Shi Fang, Shi Fang shook his head.
Xu Qiao was worried that something might happen to Sui Heng, so he stepped forward and patted Sui Heng's shoulder lightly.
"Your Highness?"
Xu Qiao tentatively called out.
Sui Heng turned his head, glanced at him, and then said, "Get up with help."
"Your Highness is this?"
"The legs are numb."
Sui Heng said expressionlessly.
Xu Qiao: "..."
Xu Qiao hurriedly helped him up with Shi Fang, and asked with concern, "Why is Your Highness staying here?"
Sui Heng didn't answer, but patted the snow off his body, and the calm and sharp color between his brows had returned.
As he walked into the tent, he asked Shifang, "Where is the surname Tian?"
"He was drunk last night, and the subordinates sent him back directly."
Xu Qiao heard about Sui Heng entertaining Tian Ye in the tent, and asked, "What did your Highness find?"
Sui Heng didn't answer, only curled the corners of his lips coldly.
"I'm just thinking, since the king of Qi has such a good intention this time, I shouldn't refuse it, but should accept it."
Xu Qiao was taken aback.
Because in Sui Heng's eyes, there was clearly a cold killing intent.The last time he saw this kind of look in Sui Heng's eyes was when Sui Heng shot and killed Tian Meng in public at the Qi envoy's banquet.
In the evening, Sui Heng raised the account again to discuss matters, and called Tian Ye and Tian Ying for the first time. Sui Heng sighed with feigned melancholy: "At present, Muyun Pass has been unable to attack for a long time. It can solve the urgent need."
Tian Ye Tian Ying had a vague premonition.
Sui Heng said: "Tonight is the rare blizzard in Muyun Pass in ten years. I just want to invite the two generals to lead their elites to sneak attack at night, and cooperate with the lonely inside and outside to break through the beacon tower."
"If this battle is successful, I will go to the king of Qi and give a grand reward to the two generals. The positions in the lonely army will also be chosen by the two generals."
Sui Heng actually wanted to instigate rebellion directly.
Tian Ying hesitated.
To be honest, as a foreign aid force, they had no reason to rush to the front and die for the Sui army. The Sui army had not captured Beacon Tower for more than half a month. Now let them take advantage of it. Sui Heng's behavior is simply shameless.What's more, he was born as an aristocrat of the Qi State, and he has no intention of serving in the Sui State for the time being.But King Qi sent them over to support the Sui army in combat, and they had no reason to refuse.
And most importantly, King Qi sent them here to reap the benefits, not to charge them into battle. If they lost too many troops, they would not be able to explain to the king after returning home.
Tian Ying wanted to refuse, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw two rows of mighty and strong generals of the Qinglang Camp with knives on their waists and murderous looks, but he didn't dare to speak out.
This prince of the Sui Kingdom is really too brutal and shameless!
Tian Ying couldn't help but glanced at Tian Ye resentfully, he was not stupid, and immediately guessed that Sui Heng had offended Sui Heng due to Tian Ye's various imbecile behaviors recently, and the other party came up with such a dirty trick to punish them.
Tian Ying asked: "I don't know what His Highness means by combining the inside and the outside?"
Sui Heng laughed uncontrollably and said: "I have my own opinion, and the plan will inevitably be leaked, so I won't discuss it with the two generals in detail. It's not early, the two generals will set off at the right time."
"Waiting for the two generals to return from victory."
Even if Tian Ye and Tian Ying were unwilling, they could only accept orders.
Sui Heng immediately summoned brothers Lu Jishi and Lu Anmin to ask about the training of the [-] sailors.
Lu Jishi said: "They are all ready and ready to go at any time, but it has been snowing these past two days, and the weather is too cold, they may not be able to stay underwater for too long."
Sui Heng crossed his arms, with a sharp murderous look between his brows, his eyes were still fixed on the huge Jiangnan water system map, and said, "No hurry."
"When you take down the Beacon Tower, it's time to fight alone. If you want to win alone, you must take Muyun Pass."
That night, the beacon tower was violently attacked by [-] elite cavalry led by Tian Ye and Tian Ying.
Tian Ye and Tian Ying are all capable fighters. They took advantage of the wind and snow to slam into the city walls and gates with their modified giant chariots.Affected by the wind and snow, the performance of the cloud crossbow erected on the stage was greatly affected.
Jiang Yun was changing the plaster on his right arm. When he heard that it was Qi Jun who was attacking, he paused.
"Are you sure it's Qi Jun?"
"Yes, the last general has repeatedly confirmed that they are flying the military flag of the Qi army, and the word 'Tian' is written on the handsome flag. It is said that it is an elite army sent to the Sui army by the king of Qi for free. As a condition for forming an alliance with the Sui Kingdom."
Jiang Yun finished changing the medicine calmly, put down his cuffs, and asked, "Tianye?"
"Yes, I heard that this person is from the same clan as Tian Meng, the dead number one general of Qi State, and he is very brave and good at fighting."
Jiang Yun got up and said: "It's okay, I will be alone with all the soldiers tonight, and I will not let the Qi army step into the beacon tower."
Jiang Yun was still wearing fox fur, and pushed the door out.The wind and snow were raging outside, Jiang Yun stood in the snow, turned his head and said to Yun Huai who was still standing there: "Let's go, don't waste time."
The Qi army was approaching menacingly, and Jiang Guo's guards had prepared for a long time. When the Qi army approached, they immediately dropped wood, stone, fire oil and other objects to prevent the Qi army from climbing the wall. With Jiang Yun personally sitting in the gate tower, the morale of the guards on the beacon tower It is unprecedentedly high.
Tian Ye Tian Ying was forced to join the battle, so he was naturally unwilling to lose too many troops of his own. After launching two rounds of attacks in succession, seeing that Jiang Guo was well prepared, he immediately called for money to withdraw his troops.
However, when the two arrived at the gate, the general guarding the gate said: "His Royal Highness is not in the camp. Before leaving, he specifically ordered that the beacon tower is of great importance. If the beacon tower cannot be captured, the two generals cannot return to the camp."
"Besides, the Beacon Tower is related to His Highness's important plan. I hope you two must not delay His Highness's fighter plane."
Tian Ying and Tian Ye were furious.
However, looking at the tightly closed gate and the iron cavalry surrounded by the dark clouds like a tide, they felt a little chills in their hearts.
They had just gone through a fierce battle, and lost some soldiers, the number was less than 30, but Sui Heng held [-] cavalry from the Qinglang Battalion, and a group of subordinate national soldiers and horses.
If they disobeyed the military orders and fought with the Sui army, they would definitely not be able to fight. However, Sui Heng's treatment of the allied reinforcements in this way was simply trampling the king's face on the ground.
How dare this prince of the Sui Kingdom!
Tian Ying said: "It's not that we didn't do our best, but that the other party was well prepared. Our first round of attack alarmed the other party's sentries, but we couldn't catch the other party by surprise. Can the general report the truth to His Highness so that His Highness can accommodate us?" ?”
The guard was expressionless: "We are only responsible for passing orders, not for other things."
Tian Ye and Tian Ying wanted to flee back to Qi State at night, but they didn't travel far when they met an elite of the Qinglang Battalion head-on, and the leader asked with a smile, "Didn't the two generals be ordered to attack the Beacon Tower? How are you going?" In this direction?"
Tian Ye Tian Ying was already guilty, but she became more guilty when she heard the words, and said vaguely: "The wind and snow are too heavy, and I lost my way for a while."
"It's okay."
The general twirled his horsewhip: "I have good eyesight, I will show the two of you the way."
The two had no choice but to lead the troops back.
Tian Ying was a little negative, but Tian Ye was full of ambition, his eagle eyes flashed coldly in the dark night, and he said: "The prince of the Sui Kingdom just wants the beacon tower, it is better to shoot it down and give it to him than to sit and wait for death. "
"Don't forget, the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom even dared to shoot Tian Meng. If we continue to disobey his military orders, we may end up with nothing good."
In the middle of the night, the Qi army launched another fierce attack.
The wind and snow were dense, and the roar of the beacon tower was loud.
Jiang Yun stayed in town until dawn, most of the cloud crossbow of the beacon tower was damaged by the Qi soldiers climbing up the wall, and a large part of the city wall was also damaged. Fortunately, the Qi soldiers also suffered heavy losses.
However, there is no time to repair the city wall right now, and the Sui soldiers who are dormant behind will launch a new round of attack immediately.
Jiang Yun made a decisive decision immediately, and all the defenders immediately withdrew to Muyun Pass.
Yun Huai directed the withdrawal of troops, looking at the dilapidated and incomplete beacon tower, he felt a bit reluctant to part with it.If it weren't for the powerful chariot of the Qi State, this high platform could have lasted for a while longer.
Jiang Yun didn't stop, returned to Muyunguan, immediately raised his account to discuss the next battle plan.Once the beacon tower is lost, Muyunguan will become the real main battlefield for the confrontation between the two armies.
Just as he was talking, Gongsun Yang suddenly rushed in, knelt down in the tent, and said, "Your Highness, the little Huangsun is gone!"
The faces of the generals changed drastically.
Fan Zhou asked anxiously: "What do you mean by disappearing? The little emperor's grandson's residence is heavily guarded, how could he suddenly disappear?"
Gongsun Yang's eyes were red.
"It's all my negligence. When the sky was about to dawn this morning, the little emperor's grandson suddenly opened his eyes, touched his stomach and said he was hungry and wanted to drink antler soup. I believed it was true and ordered the palace staff to go to the kitchen to get it. It's gone. A guard saw that the little Huangsun sneaked into the palace of the Highness again. When I rushed over, I found that the little Huangsun was not there. I searched all the places, but there was no trace of the little Huangsun. "
"The subordinates are worried, will the little emperor's grandson..."
Gongsun Yang wished he could slap his ears twice.
Fan Zhou's heart sank. His Highness was not in the pass last night, and the guards and attendants around His Highness also left with His Highness. His Highness's palace was not strictly guarded.
Fan Zhou looked at Jiang Yun with some concern.
"It's okay, everyone discuss first, go and see the situation alone."
Jiang Yun went out of the tent as usual, and when he was outside the tent, after hearing the detailed situation from Gongsun Yang, Fang supported the tent door and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Tian Ye Tianying returned to the Sui Army camp with only a few hundred remnants.
The Sui soldiers who were dormant behind occupied the Beacon Tower with lightning speed.
The main tower of the Beacon Tower was directly razed to the ground, and the Sui soldiers' tents were moved forward ten miles as a whole, and they set up camp again.
Tian Ye and Tian Ying were waiting for Sui Heng's reward. In order to break through the beacon tower, they almost lost all their soldiers and horses. However, instead of rewarding them as agreed, Sui Heng wanted to punish them with military sticks.
"Here in Gu, if you don't capture the main stage, you are defeated."
"It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, but there is still a chance to advance, but you throw away your helmet and armor and run away. According to the rules of the Qinglang Camp, you will be punished severely."
"Nian, you two have worked hard, and you have come all the way to help, so you will be cut in half, and each of you will be fined a hundred army sticks."
With a wave of Sui Heng's hand, Tian Ye Tian Ying was dragged down.
But Sui Heng took down the Beacon Tower without spending any of his own soldiers. The morale of the Sui army was greatly boosted, and Sui Heng held a celebration banquet in the army to reward the whole army.
Although Qi State was not a subordinate state of Sui State, the fate of Tian Ye and Tian Ying was seen by the rulers and ministers of all the subordinate states.
Lord Chen Guoguo: "I heard that it was Tianye who talked nonsense after drinking, was arrogant and arrogant, offended His Highness, and was punished by His Highness in this way."
The Lord of Wei's hand holding the wine glass froze slightly.
The country of Wei is small and weak, so he did not lead many soldiers and horses this time when he went north to fight.
Seeing the state of Qi's end, the leader of the state of Wei was very worried that Sui Heng would think that he was passive and slack, and would target him as he had targeted Qi.
Lord Chen comforted him.
"It doesn't matter, the widow and His Highness are more likely to understand His Highness's disposition best. Although His Highness is a bit harsh and ruthless, he is by no means a person who says nothing."
"As long as Brother Wei honestly obeys His Highness' instructions, don't be like that Tian Ye Tian Ying, who is arrogant, thinks of himself too much, and wants to challenge His Highness, His Highness will not treat you badly."
The Lord of the Wei Kingdom responded with a heavy heart.
He was very envious of Jiang Yuping who was sitting next to him. The navy presented by Jiang Yuping was reused by Sui Heng. This time the spring breeze was in full swing, and he circled around Sui Heng every day, not like him.
Chen Qi was also worried about something, and returned to the tent before the celebration banquet was over.
"grown ups."
A musician in a black robe and a black veil greeted him.
Chen Qi asked: "How?"
The musician nodded, and led Chen Qi inside. There was a sack beside the marching bed.
The musician untied the sack, revealing a beautiful snow dumpling.
It was a baby less than one year old, with skin that could be broken by blows and bullets, and two small horns pierced on its head. At this moment, it seemed to have fallen asleep.
Chen Qi asked: "Are you sure this is Jiang Guo's little grandson? What happened to him?"
The musician nodded and said, "To be safe, my subordinates used drugs."
Chen Qi naturally wouldn't ask about the details of the kidnapping.
The musician asked, "Why didn't your lord hand him over to His Highness immediately?"
Chen Qi shook his head: "The time has not yet come, you should take good care of this kid first, and never let outsiders know of his existence."
"Yes."
The musician and Chen Qi went out together, but they didn't notice that Xiaotuanzi in the sack behind him opened his dark and bright eyes, staring at their backs coldly.
This matter was kept secret, except for his confidantes, Chen Qi did not let more people know about it. Most of the time, the musicians stayed in the tent to guard, and the musicians took the meals in person.
However, in the afternoon of this day, when the musician came back with food, he found that the sack was empty, and the little boy who had stayed in it obediently had disappeared.
"what happened!"
When Chen Qi heard the news, he rushed back with a gloomy expression.
The musician also found it unbelievable: "There are so many soldiers guarding outside the tent, it is impossible for him to escape as a young child."
"But he just escaped!"
Chen Qi was already a little out of breath.
"No matter what method is used, the person must be found immediately!"
This time he was acting behind Sui Heng's back, if the baby died in his hands, there would be endless troubles.
However, after two full days, Chen Qi tried his best, but he still didn't find anyone or a corpse. Such a small baby seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
After taking down the Beacon Tower, the next step is to go straight to Muyun Pass.
Sui Heng convened the generals to discuss the matter and formulate the next battle plan. He returned late at night, and just sat down in the tent when Shi Fang came in to report: "Your Highness, the son of the Kingdom of Wei seeks to see you."
Sui Heng asked: "What is he doing here?"
"I heard that I came to see His Highness under the order of the Lord of Wei."
Sui Heng said: "Let him in."
Wei Yun walked in.
Sui Heng was wiping his knife when he suddenly smelled a smell, he paused, looked up, and saw Wei Yun wearing a green shirt, standing in the tent.
Wei Yun is the former son of Rong, known as the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, with outstanding appearance, he usually likes to wear white brocade robes, but now he puts on a simple and elegant green shirt, which has a special taste.
Sui Heng lowered his head and said, "Take it off."
Wei Yun was taken aback.
Sui Heng continued: "You are not qualified to wear this dress, and next time, Gu will kill you directly."
This is the second time that Wei Yun has been humiliated in front of Sui Heng.
Wei Yun's complexion was snow-white, and he took off the green shirt in front of Sui Heng, trembling all over, and retreated.
After Sui Heng wiped his knife in silence, he got up and prepared to sleep. During the march and battle, he never disarmed, but as soon as he walked to the bed curtain, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Staring under the bed, said: "Come out."
After a while, a Xuetuanzi Fang got out from under the bed, looking at him pitifully with two big watery eyes.
Sui Heng was taken aback.
Where did the child come from.
