While everyone was working hard to dig mountains and seal roads, He Qizhou and Xu Mu also ushered in the moment of separation. Xu Mu did not want the snow dragon horse to be separated from He Qizhou again, so he asked for two more horses, one person and three riders, and prepared to return to the land as soon as possible.
Yuhun.
On the mountain ridge leading to Burgen City above the canyon, the bright moonlight cast the shadows of the two people into the canyon filled with people.
"Cherish it!" He Qizhou said.
"The same to you."
"Be careful."
"Well, goodbye."
"goodbye!"
"Maybe when will we see you next time? Where will it be?" Xu Mu still couldn't help but write sadness on his face.
"We haven't had a good look at the plum blossoms in Jiuzhou Pond yet. I hope that the next time we meet is there. As for when - the sooner the better!" He Qizhou took Xu Mu's hands and said softly.
"Okay, it's settled. I really have to leave."
"Well, I have to leave too."
…
The people in the canyon were almost done with their work. Looking at the mountain ridge dozens of feet high, the other two people had been talking to each other for a long time, and they seemed to be holding hands even tighter.
"No, I'm still dressed as a man." Xu Mu was suddenly hugged heavily by He Qizhou.
"I don't care!" He Qizhou has fallen in love with the snow-like taste between the red lips and jade teeth. After a while of coolness, it melts with heat.
"Yeah." Xu Mu suddenly stopped insisting, and he didn't know when the next confrontation with the other party would be.
…
"Gang Leader Guo, I didn't expect Mr. He..." Seeing the two "men" being so entangled, Li Zeping looked at Guo Wen beside him in embarrassment. He asked those who had finished their work to turn around and continue, but there were not many people.
Listening to him, everyone stretched their necks and looked at the two shadows that merged into one on the mountain ridge.
"There are many things you didn't expect. Let's talk about it on the way back. Everyone is getting ready and we have to go." Guo Wen looked back and found more than a hundred open mouths.
…
"I'm really gone!" Xu Mu suddenly spotted a group of men facing here under the mountain ridge, and was so embarrassed that he pushed He Qizhou away.
"Remember our agreement." A pair of warm, jade-like hands slipped a little from between the fingers, and He Qizhou felt that the whole world was disappearing.
"Yes!" Xu Mu nodded, as tenderly as a water lotus that can't stand the cool breeze.
…
"The autumn wind is clear, the autumn moon is bright, the fallen leaves are gathering and scattering, the jackdaws are roosting and startling again, I miss each other and know when we met, but it is embarrassing at this time and this night."
"Gang Leader Guo, what poem are you reciting? Shouldn't they be embarrassed?"
"Li Laosan, you deserve the life of a bandit! Tu! Let's go!" Seeing He Qizhou riding down the mountain in despair, Guo Wen waved his hand, and a team of more than 100 people, with more than 300 horses, came under the moonlight.
Embark on the road to the north
…
In the Qingcang Hall of the Qingcheng Palace, twelve warriors collapsed helplessly on the ground. Helian Qingfeng, who was served by the palace maid and had put on the royal robe, said coldly: "There is no need to come tomorrow. After being promoted to one level, they will all return to their own army."
Go ahead."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Twelve people knelt down with difficulty and thanked them all, but almost no one showed gratitude in their eyes. The number of people killed in the army has been increasing in the past two years.
"Your Majesty, the two masters of the Water Hall and the Earth Hall are here."
"Well, let them come in."
"yes."
"Veteran Yu Qingdu pays homage to His Majesty."
"The humble minister Pan Shuzhi pays homage to His Majesty." Two people came in one after another. The younger one, about fifty years old, was Pan Shuzhi, the master of Tutang Hall.
"How is Changying? If it doesn't work, just take him back." Helian Qingfeng asked.
Yu Qingdu and Pan Shuzhi looked at each other, as if they were unsure who should answer. After a moment of confusion, it was Yu Qingdu who answered. After all, Helian Changying and Shuitang were closer.
"Your Majesty, the second princess has lost all her martial arts skills and her life is not in danger. However, she seems to be in a state of mind... I also think that the second princess should come back for treatment," Yu Qingdu said.
"In Xijing, you all should think of ways to send more capable people there. Changying is not here, so we can only rely on each hall to take care of it." Helian Qingfeng shook his head. This daughter with outstanding ability seems to be unreliable.
"Yes." The two of them bowed to the ground and said yes.
"Everyone, get up and watch your seats." Helian Qingfeng seemed a little unhappy. He rarely asked these two close ministers and then watched their seats. Both of them couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Where has Li Yuan gone? Has the banditry been eliminated?"
Yu Qingdu began to sweat on his forehead and said: "The minister is here to report this matter. General Li arrived at the Wusun Kingdom two days later than planned. This was mainly because the guards sent by the Wushi Imperial Division to exterminate the bandits' nest were counterattacked.
The people who attacked and killed the other party should be He Qizhou and Xu Mu who had fled there. It was obvious that the two had colluded with the Lotus Gang and others. They led the bandits and defeated Li Yuan's vanguard camp and fled north. Li
The general did not dare to divide his troops to pursue him. After sweeping the stronghold, he entered the Wusun Kingdom three days ago."
"It's him again! Pan Ai Chat, tell me, what are you going to do?" Helian Qingfeng pointed the finger at Tutang.
"Your Majesty, the northern border is vast and sparsely populated..."
"I'm not asking you what difficulties you have!"
"I thought that He Qizhou was looking for the traitor. I would ask the spies stationed in various Shengzhou tribes to keep an eye on it. As soon as there is any news, I would notify Lin Hu and Goshawk and ask them to send people to strangle him with all their strength!" Pan Shuzhi had to kneel down again.
He replied with a trembling voice.
"Shen Tinggu has already brought my five thousand feather forest guards to chase the people of Hanjian Villa. Your people can also ask him for help!" Helian Qingfeng waved his hand to indicate that the other party did not need to kneel anymore.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Yu Ai Chat, let me sort out the situation in the south, and Lian decided to go on a personal expedition."
"Yes." Yu Qingdu breathed a sigh of relief, there is still good news:
"Your Majesty, after learning that we have sent troops to the Western Regions, Jiang Shan decided to personally conquer Tuyuhun for the second time. The scale of this Western Expedition may be twice as large as the last time! If Li Hao and Jiang Lang can be eliminated, it will be extremely beneficial to us.
favorable;
According to the negotiation between the two parties, he plans to send the little princess to be married after the new year. It is said that her beauty is not inferior to the four beauties in the capital among the people.
Jiang Shan also agreed to send the navy to intercept the Annan fleet heading north to Shanhaiguan and supply it with Jue Changfeng and Lingfeng."
Helian Qingfeng nodded and said: "The interception of the fleet cannot be fully believed, but it is time to finally deal with Beiyan. You should prepare now. As long as He Bing can move, I will immediately go to the expedition in person. I will not break through Shanhaiguan."
Go back to Qingcheng!"
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is mighty!"
…
At the top of Shanhaiguan City, Chang Feng and Ling Feng looked side by side at the countless Zhou army camps outside the city. Chang Feng sighed: "How shameful! If I had listened to you back then, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation now."
Three months ago, Yanjing City, which had been besieged for a year, ran out of ammunition and food and could no longer support it. Chang Feng had to ask for help from Shanhaiguan. Since Lingfeng had opposed Chang Feng's proclaimed emperor, the two had already turned against each other, and Chang Feng no longer wanted to support him.
Giving Lingfeng soldiers and soldiers also cut off the opponent's food and wages. Despite this, Lingfeng still held on to the northeastern gateway of Yanjing City, sharing a lot of pressure for Chang Feng.
When Lingfeng was stationed at Shanhaiguan, he only had a partial force of less than 10,000 people, while Chang Feng had an army of nearly 200,000. However, after successive defeats, only 70,000 to 80,000 troops were left to defend the city of Yanjing. A year later, almost all the troops defending the city were left.
Another half was lost, but the food supply was almost at the bottom. More and more people were starving to death in the city. Chang Feng knew that the defeat was certain. Instead of surrendering, Chang Feng was more inclined to ask for help from Lingfeng, because one year had passed.
Lingfeng's situation actually got better.
Lingfeng, who was guarding Shanhaiguan, did not want to sit still and wait for death. At the same time, he collected ships to build a naval force. The fleet went south along the coast to collect grain, grass and soldiers. At the same time, he strengthened the city defense and built Shanhaiguan into a fortress that controlled a radius of hundreds of miles, relying on the fishing goods on the sea.
, the food harvest in the area under the jurisdiction of the fortress has become self-sufficient.
Because Emperor Jiang Shan of Qi was unwilling to send troops to help the north, many people with lofty ideals and Taoist heroes in Qi entered Shanhaiguan via land and water; the naval fleet even went south to Danzhou to purchase Annan Kingdom with cargo stolen from the Chen family.
With the supplement of grain and troops, Shanhaiguan gradually prospered, and there were gradually 50,000 troops and nearly 200,000 civilians within its jurisdiction.
Regardless of past suspicions, Lingfeng started to rescue Chang Feng before he asked for help. Finally, relying on the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, he sent the main force to cooperate with Chang Feng's breakout army inside and outside, and rescued about 20,000 troops and more than 30,000 civilians. However, there was no one in Youzhou City.
As well as nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians who escaped, Helian Qingfeng massacred the city. The Northern Zhou Dynasty lost no less than 50,000 lives before and after Yanjing City, and had already threatened to massacre the city. This was why Chang Feng was reluctant to surrender.
reason.
At this time, at the top of Shanhaiguan City, Ling Feng, who had always been "domineering", seemed to be much older. He said to Chang Feng: "General, those who have gained the truth will be helped. Even though there are so many troops from the Northern Zhou Dynasty pressing down on the border, as long as we fight to the death to hold on.
, sooner or later there will be a day when we will retreat from the enemy!"
Chang Feng said melancholy: "I heard that Jiang Shan is going to marry Helian Qingfeng. He will help the Helian family cut off our sea food routes. The Helian family will send troops to help him capture Tuyuhun..."
Lingfeng smiled and said: "If even my meager reputation can be helped by so many people, I believe Jiang Lang and Zhang Zhiren will definitely do better, and Helian Chenwu will be in the north to contain them, let's see
, it might not be us who laugh in the end!”
"Well, then let Helian Qingfeng and Jiang Shan taste our power!" Chang Feng felt that as long as he stood beside Lingfeng, the feeling of two peaks standing proudly came back!
…
In early September, the cold wind in Mobei was like a paintbrush. The painted trees were colorful, dyeing the northeastern mountains into a colorful picture. The undulating mountains in the sky seemed to frame the endless grassland.
a ribbon;
A big river is like a giant dragon lying between heaven and earth, dividing the huge grassland into two;
The low-hanging white clouds in the sky rolled and relaxed in the strong wind, so low that they could be touched on horseback.
He Qizhou had no time to enjoy the scenery, so he galloped side by side between the sky and the earth with more than 300 riders, aiming directly at the salt pond where Pan Gu tribe collected salt.
