Outside the camp of the Sixth Guards of the New Army.
Liu Mingzhi looked around and saw Yun Xiaoxi who was standing more than 20 steps away holding the reins of his horse. He hurriedly greeted him and pulled Yun Xiaoxi towards the military camp and Yingzhou city wall.
Walk to the remote corner where you are.
"Xiaoxi, if you didn't stay well in the old Peruvian headquarters, why did you come to Yingzhou at this junction?"
Yun Xiaoxi directly took off the bamboo hat on her head, revealing her true appearance. She looked anxiously at her cousin who looked puzzled, and hurriedly took out a letter and a token from her arms.
"Cousin, please don't worry about why I returned to Yingzhou for some reason. Have you seen my grandpa?
Three days ago he went to see me at Qianli Fengguang Restaurant and told me a lot of words that I couldn't understand because of the clouds and fog.
Then he gave me a token and a letter, and then told me something. I would open the letter after hearing the news about your arrival in the city.
But these days I have been tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and have been thinking about what my grandfather meant by what he said.
Later, I finally realized that although there was nothing suspicious about what my grandfather said, the token and the letter seemed to be explaining my own funeral arrangements.
I just went to find my grandpa, but Uncle Kuang kept stopping me from climbing the tower.
Later, I used words to force him, but Uncle Kuang Kuang had no choice but to ask the soldiers guarding the city to put me and the war horse down in a hanging basket, and said that I would come to the camp outside the city to find you. Then you will know the cause and effect.
Please tell me what happened to grandpa quickly? Did something happen to him?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Yun Xiaoxi who was holding the letter and the token with an anxious expression. The corner of his mouth trembled a few times, wondering whether he should tell Yun Xiaoxi about Mr. Yun.
What is the appropriate way to tell it?
I originally thought that I would slowly tell Yun Xiaoxi about it after the matter calmed down.
But his sudden appearance outside the camp asking to see him completely messed up Liu Mingzhi's mood.
"cousin?"
"Ah? I...I..."
Yun Xiaoxi seemed to understand something from her cousin Liu Mingzhi's hesitant expression, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
"My grandfather...is he no longer here?"
"I...I...um!"
The horse rein in Yun Xiaoxi's hand slipped quietly, her past suddenly turned dark, and her delicate body staggered towards Liu Mingzhi as she fell.
"Creek! Creek!"
Yun Xiaoxi's limbs were weak and she fell limply into Liu Mingzhi's arms, looking at the tower of the south gate of Yingzhou with dull eyes.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!"
"Xiaoxi, my cousin doesn't want to hide it from you. The old man committed suicide half an hour ago when he knew that there was no hope of helping the orthodox!"
Yun Xiaoxi's dull and pretty eyes suddenly became clear after hearing Liu Mingzhi's words. She looked at Liu Mingzhi calmly, her eyes darkened, and she fainted directly in Liu Mingzhi's arms.
"Creek! Creek!"
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly went to test Yun Xiaoxi's breathing, and noticed Yun Xiaoxi's slightly disordered breathing. He knew that she couldn't accept the news of Mr. Yun's suicide and passed out. He shook his head and sighed, hugged him horizontally, and held him with his arms.
He kicked up the horse's reins and dropped them into his hands.
The two of them walked slowly towards the base camp of the Sixth Guard of the New Army.
One day later.
On the official road from Fuzhou to the capital, Fenglin Town is an important place for official roads.
The cavalry and horses of the two parties are charging at each other with complicated expressions in the wilderness of Maplewood Town!
The ringing flags announced the identities of the soldiers and horses on both sides.
The side with the larger number of soldiers are the soldiers of the Polu Army, one of the six guards of the New Army, and the soldiers of the smaller side are the soldiers of the Flying Eagle Guard, one of the six guards of the Northern Xinjiang.
The soldiers and horses of both sides were matched against each other, and they launched fierce attacks again and again.
Qin Changyun, the lieutenant general of the Polu Army, clutched the flag in his hand with blood all over his body, and looked at the Flying Eagle Guards soldiers on the opposite side who had stopped to repair themselves after another cavalry attack, and gritted their teeth.
"Lieutenant General Lin, why haven't the scouts sent to persuade us to make peace come back yet? How can we bear to continue the killing spree like this?"
"General, we have sent three waves of scout brothers. So far, we have not received any reply from the Eagle Guard generals about their intention to negotiate peace."
Qin Changyun's left hand holding Ling Qi hit his thigh hard.
"Damn it, are the brothers on the opposite side all stupid? Why are you willing to die in vain when you know you can't get through at all?
Why bother!"
Vice General Lin looked at Qin Changyun with bright red eyes, wanting to beat his hands and feet.
"General, we have lost more than 1,400 people. The 4,000 cavalrymen of the Eagle Guard opposite have lost only a lot more troops than us.
They rushed back and forth thirty-six times, but they had no intention of stopping.
If this continues, we will have to pay a similar price even if we win.
Especially when the old brothers of life and death are killing each other, the brothers really feel uncomfortable!"
"What do you want me to do? I still don't know who the leader of the Eagle Guard is. We are not even given a chance to negotiate. What can I do..."
"Report, general, I have contacted the scouts on the opposite side. Flying Eagle Guardsman Yuan Shunhe invites the general to talk in front of the formation!"
"Damn, that's great! Vice General Lin!"
"The end is here!"
"Send the order! Treat the injured brothers immediately. Whether they are our brothers or the brothers of the Eagle Guard, as long as they are still breathing, we will do our best to treat them."
"Got the order!"
Qin Changyun did not have the slightest intention of worrying about setting up a trap on the other side. He inserted the command flag into the lock on his back and galloped towards the front of the two armies.
"Hush!"
"Qin Changyun, the commander-in-chief of the Polu Army, has met General Yuan!"
"Flying Eagle Guard General Yuan Shunhe has met General Qin."
"Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you!"
Qin Changyun looked at Yuan Shunhe, who was also covered in blood, got off his horse and saluted.
"Brother Yuan, you are the eldest brother of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang, and the younger brother is polite.
Brother Yuan, all the 38 roads leading to the capital from various places were blocked by the four guards of our new army with 200,000 soldiers and horses. Trying to enter the capital to help the orthodox Li family, which has lost its momentum, is nothing more than a dream.
!
The official road to Fenglin in Beijing is now guarded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the first battalion of our Polu Army. No matter how powerful your Flying Eagle Guards are, it is impossible to attack our 10,000-strong army's defense line with 4,000 troops.
Let’s stop fighting and make peace!
Our brothers who have been killed and injured now are serious enough. Don't let our brothers die in vain due to fratricidal slaughter.
What's more, the disparity between soldiers and horses is so great that they die in vain.
Look at the corpses in front of you. We were once brothers who fought side by side.
How could it come to the point where brothers are fighting each other and both sides suffer?
Big brother, little brother, please.
Retract your troops, don't charge to death in vain!"
Yuan Shunhe's mouth trembled, his eyes looked around sadly at the tragic battle on the official road in Fenglin, and his fists clenched.
"General Qin... You are a soldier, and I am also a soldier. You should understand that military orders are like mountains.
Soldiers should be honored to die on the battlefield and be wrapped in horse leather.
I, the general, and my brothers appreciate your kindness, but the order I and my brothers received was to go to the capital to support the orthodoxy, and to have King Qin escort him.
With military orders in hand, we can only live up to our brothers' kindness.
We can only obey the order. Wherever the flag goes is where our soldiers will go. Even if we die, we will not regret it.
I'm offended, please go back, General Qin!"
