Chapter 265

Haishi.

During the wind and snow, an armored cavalry galloped in the camp, followed by a dozen cavalry.

"According to the order of the lord, go out to the camp to perform emergency military affairs."

With the shout of the chief cavalry general, the soldiers standing on the watchtower climbed down one after another, and worked together to lift the heavy and complicated antlers, clearing a path for them as quickly as possible.

It's so late, and the snow is heavy, what kind of urgent military affairs are to be carried out?

The clerk in charge of going in and out of the camp at night held a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, muttering inwardly:

Such a big fight seems to be just to escort two wooden boxes, who to give it to?

At this time, the cold wind hit the face, and the clerk couldn't help shivering, no longer thinking about these trivial matters, just want to finish the work quickly, go back to the tent to warm up and drink hot soup.

"Certificate, name, what camp does it belong to?"

The cavalry general didn't answer, and took out an official seal from his arms blankly, while the civil servant silently stepped aside and didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, he has been in this position for ten years, and he has seen too many accidents, and every time something happens, the chief general will convict the official in charge of the access control for dereliction of duty, and pull him out to engage in military law—

cut it.

Especially since Ding Yuan took over the military power, he has enacted dozens of laws against beheading, one of which is: Anyone who violates the commander's order will be executed on the spot.

And the thing that the cavalry general showed just now is the official seal that symbolizes his status, and it belongs to the master Ding Yuan. As long as he has this thing in his hand, he will be like the commander in person.

As for whether it was stolen, the civil servants were not worried at all.

First of all, without the lord's permission, you can't even get ten steps closer to him, let alone steal something as important as the official seal.

Secondly, only the lord's confidant and beloved general can quietly mobilize more than ten cavalry to carry out emergency military affairs at night.

"General, the antlers have been removed, you can go."

At this time, a soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead. After all, in order to prevent the horse's feet, these antler-shaped solid logs were buried in the ground more than a foot deep, and it was really difficult to clean.

"Walk."

The cavalry general nodded, pulled the reins, and the yellow puma under his crotch flew straight out.

Time is running out, Song Xian must rush to Yanmen Pass in the shortest possible time, and deliver a message to the leader of Xiutu Gehu on behalf of the lord——

Before dawn, come to plead guilty with bound hands, otherwise, when the army arrives, King Xiutu will become a trophy dedicated to the emperor by Ding Yuan, just like King Zuoxian and King Guli of the Xiongnu.

"General, why do we have to go to the northwest to get in touch with the general of Yanmen Gate?"

A cavalry followed closely behind, and as he asked, he brushed the flying snow from his eye sockets with his hands.

"It is true that we are going to Yanmen Pass, but we don't need to meet the guards. Let's go out directly on behalf of the lord, and reprimand Xiu Turen face to face."

"General, my subordinates still don't understand. Why waste your tongue with these alien races? Tomorrow morning the army will be deployed, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, we can fight against them outside the pass."

After defeating the Xiongnu army, the morale of the county soldiers was high. The thoughts of this cavalry soldier symbolized most of the people in the camp——

There is no need to worry about your own safety, because the alien race is vulnerable, and there is not much they need to do. After the main general kills the enemy chieftain, he can beat the dog in the water.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, Song Xian had a glimmer of light on his body, he shook it away casually, and replied indifferently: "When it is an extraordinary time, you should do an extraordinary law."

It will take time for the army to move out. Although the people of Yanmen County are tough, and there are more defenders than Yunzhong County, if there is no accident, they can indeed last for a long time.

However, in the words of Deputy Marshal Zhang Liao:

A soldier who surrenders without fighting is a good man!

At that time, he was reading military books in the tent and was called by his lord's personal guards to the camp of the Chinese Army to discuss how to deal with Xiu Tu Gehu.

General Lu Li of Yamen thought that he could gather all the cavalry and rush to Yanmen Pass first, then use the heads of the two Huns to frighten Xiutu Gehu, and finally cooperate with the Yanmen defenders to confront them head-on.

At first, Song Xian also felt that this plan was very appropriate. Although it was not as exciting as the robbing of the camp last night, it sounded just as invigorating, and it could make another fortune:

Anyone who confronts bandits in front of the battle, the arrows and stones have not been handed over, the vanguard advances, and the thieves are broken by it, they will be trapped in the battle.

This kind of merit is extremely rare, and it can make a soldier leap into the dragon's gate and become a school lieutenant. If he is favored by the coach, it is not surprising that he is promoted to general.

Of course, single-handedly frightening the enemy into scattered and fleeing, only those who comprehend the spirit of war can do it. The consequence of ordinary soldiers riding alone into the battle is that they will be cut to pieces immediately.

However, deputy commander Zhang Liao proposed another method: persuade to surrender.

He sent an elite cavalry team, carrying the heads of the two kings of the Xiongnu, to the outside of the customs at night, to reprimand the Xiutu people for their actions, and ordered the leaders of all ministries to come to plead guilty.

I have to say, this plan is crazy, but when you think about it carefully, it is indeed feasible.

The allies who claimed to have an army of 150,000 were defeated overnight, and with the evidence of the heads of the second king, how could King Xiutu not be afraid?

However, the person who really prompted the protagonist to make a decision was Zhao Yun. Song Xian had never met this person before, but when he saw him standing next to General Lu Li of Yamen, and assuming that the other party came back after chasing the thief last night, he roughly guessed something. thing.

"Late is changing. The water in the copper leak is slowly hitting the clock, and every drop may mean the displacement of hundreds of families."

"Before the incident, no one thought that Yunzhong County, where governor Zhang Yi personally sits, would be suddenly breached. If the tragedy happens again, it will be the people of Qianshou who will suffer."

These are Zhao Yun's original words.

If within three days, even two cities were slaughtered by alien races, even if they made great achievements, they would have to be held accountable by the court, right?

Song Xian felt that the lord was worried about the above problem, so he chose to take the risky move and ordered himself to leave the customs overnight with the second king's head.

"General Song, the safety of the people of Hecheng is entrusted to you."

At this moment, Zhao Yun's parting words kept echoing in Song Xian's ears.

Within ten steps, there must be faithfulness.

That's the kind of person you're talking about, right?

In addition, judging from his accent, it seems that he came from the You and Ji areas.

Song Xian dragged the wooden box with one hand, heaved a long sigh, suppressed all kinds of distracting thoughts, and said, "Hurry up, we must arrive at Yanmen Pass before Yinshi."

"drive!"

There was a low shout behind him, and the war horses neighed one after another, and their hooves kicked like flying, increasing their speed even more.

at the same time.

There was silence in the camp, only the brazier used for lighting and the Nighthawks hiding in the dark places were making movements.

"General Lu, General Lu."

Because of Ding Yuan's trust, Zhao Yun knew the secret code for tonight, and traveled unimpeded all the way to Lu Li's camp.

Not long ago, Lu Li had just bid farewell to Zhang Liao who had come to talk. He was about to take off his armor, relax his nerves that had been tense for several days, and get a good night's sleep.

"Zilong has disappeared again, there is no one else here, you can just call me brother."

With that said, Lu Li grabbed the kettle and poured two bowls of hot soup.
