109 War Delay

Zhao Chen and Xue Xijian are in the coach's account, which is convenient for discussing countermeasures. Murong Xueyan did not want to come forward this time and avoided another camp specially set up for her. Therefore, she did not know the situation of the battle ahead.

The army started a war, and the main forces of the two factions went on an expedition. Zhao Chen and Xue Xijian, as the heads of the country, stayed in the account waiting for news. Like Murong Xueyan, they don't know how fierce the two armies in front of them are.

Across the towering Qilian Mountain, you can still hear the earth-shaking sound of killing and shouting in front of you.

Zhao Chen sent a young general to the front line to spy on the military situation and returned in half a day.

"How's the situation on the front line?" Yue Chen and Xue Xijian asked almost at the same time, with a tight voice.

"Our army was hit by the tricks of Northern Qi, and we were seriously killed and injured." The soldier trembled. The cunning of the veteran general in Northern Qi arranged a 'Dragon Array' to surround our army..."

"Dragon Array?" Murong Xueyan posted the bill, but she heard these three words in her ear.

A few years ago, she helped Duran Ruo enter the palace through the draft, and Duran Ruo gave her a military book "Ding the National Policy". This military book is passed down from generation to generation by the Du family, and the dragon array is one of the powerful arrays. Its array is like a dragon. It is composed of several arrays such as iron horse array, shield array, bow and arrow array. It is as winding as a dragon. In the middle of the war, it quickly changes its array, encircling the enemy, making it a siege, and it is difficult to get out of the siege.

When she left Beiqi, she took this military book with her at will. She never thought about its role. When she helped Xue Xijian reset it, she did not take it out and use it. The soldier's book belongs to the iron-blooded world of knives, guns, swords and halberd, which is too far from her daughter's fat and pink glazed world. She has always been interested in reading, that is, in a hundred days of recuperation a while ago, she was really bored, so she took it out and read it. Because the name "Youlong Array" is easy to remember, she looked at the array a few more times. If not, she may have forgotten this military book.

This soldier's book has always been placed in her bag, sandwiched between her clothes, and this time, it was no exception, and she brought it with her.

In the past, when I read Jin Yong's novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes, several people fought for a military book called Wu Mu's Posthumous Letter. In the end, Huang Rong helped Guo Jing break through the Jin Kingdom, and also drew on the military tactics of Wu Mu's Posthumous Letter to defeat the enemy. It seems that the role of military books should not be underestimated.

"Go and explore again!" In the account, Zhao Chen ordered the detective to go forward again.

It's really good to be an emperor. A large number of soldiers have become cannon fodder, but they can hide in the rear safely. Murong Xueyan had no intention to spy on the military situation and turned back to her tent.

The battle between the two armies means that there is a lot of bloodshed and sacrifices. The soldiers who rushed into the battle fell down, and then they would rush back and forth until they were unable to fight again...

When he came, Xue Xijian was full of confidence. He took the Western Song Dynasty and the 110,000 soldiers and horses of South Vietnam against the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was easy and had a good chance of winning. But the fact is that their two armies, compared with the army led by Du Feiqing of the Northern Qi Dynasty, have become easy-to-attack rabbles.

It seems that Xue Xijian's dream about opening up a territory is about to be broken.

Murong Xueyan got into the account. Ruxin had prepared the meal and said, "Girl, this bowl of noodles is for lunch. You can make do with it."

Being able to eat alone is also what Xue Xijian means. There are other cooking utensils in her tent.

In fact, this kind of cooking skill is not as good as her, and the cooked noodles are barely eaten. Murong Xueyan took a few mouthfuls absent-mindedly and put it down. She went out of the camp and stood outside.

I don't know how long it took, Xue Xijian came to her side.

"Xueyan, our army was defeated today." Xue Xijian's voice was unconcealed and lost, "I didn't expect that Du Feiqing to be so powerful..."

"Ginger is still old and spicy." Murong Xueyan said indifferently.

"Maybe..." Maybe it is wrong to agree to the invitation of South Vietnam to participate in the war with Northern Qi. This regretful idea is in the bottom of my heart, but I can't say it because of my self-esteem.

Murong Xueyan fully understood his mood and sighed, "When the two armies fight, blood will definitely flow into a river and corpses will be everywhere. I don't know how many families want to separate flesh and blood, and heaven and man will be separated forever.

Xue Xijian looked at the sky from afar, and sadness rose from the bottom of his heart. When he came, he was full of hope. It was only the first day of the battle, and the situation was so unfavorable to his side, which was really unexpected.

The war lasted for three days and three nights. The situation was tragic, and the allied forces of South Vietnam and the Western Song Dynasty were killed and injured.

The flames of war spread to the tent at the end of Qilian Mountain, and the breath of death is getting closer and closer...

"Report! General Zhao Hong was killed in the battle!" Another unfortunate news came.

Zhao Hong, who was the pioneer of Xue Xijian's restoration, also made great contributions for him. General Zhao! At first hearing the bad news, Xue Xijian could hardly support it.

"Go and explore again!" Zhao Chen shouted back the soldiers angrily.

"Your Majesty..." The soldier had already been seriously injured and was in danger. His chest, arms and abdomen were injured. This time, he came back to report that he was just trying to support him. At this time, he could no longer support it. He spewed blood from his mouth and died on the spot!

"Bear down and have a thick burial." Zhao Chen was sad, but his face was silent.

"King Yue, the situation seems to be more and more unfavorable to us..." The last time in order to regain the throne, Xue Xijian could be said to be fearless. This time, the breath of death was so close so obviously that he felt afraid.

"King Song, I have ordered people to rush back day and night to ask for help. When the reinforcements arrive, I will definitely be able to give the old thief a heavy counterattack!" Zhao Chen was not afraid, "My sister died innocently and must not tolerate the Northern Qi!"

In a critical situation, Xue Xijian thought of Murong Xueyan, who had been helping him last time and gave him advice. He got up at will, and he ordered the soldiers to invite Murong Xueyan. After a while, Murong Xueyan entered the coach's camp with the help of Ruxin.

"Xue Yan." He just shouted gently. She had seen some facts from his eyes: this battle can be said to be getting worse and worse. If we continue to fight, the allied forces of the Western Song Dynasty and South Vietnam must be defeated. Why did you come to her at this time? Even she, who doesn't know anything about fighting, can see that she must lose this war. Can't Xue Xijian understand it?

"What's the matter with me, the emperor?" Murong Xueyan asked.

"I want to ask you, what is a good strategy to fight against the enemy?" Xue Xi's swordsmanship.

There is no strategy against the enemy. It can be found on "Ding the National Policy". However, the military book is given by Du Lan Ruo, which is the product of their Du family. She will not use the above formation to help Xue Xijian. If so, won't she become a real "national thief"? Thinking about this, Murong Xueyan smiled and said, "Do you forget that Xueyan said at the beginning that the little plan in my mind is Cheng Yaojin's three-board axe. When it is used up, the donkey is exhausted."

"You won't help me?" He thought she was from Northern Qi. In front of Zhao Chen, he can't disclose her origin. Otherwise, Zhao Chen is likely to take her hostage in exchange for his own chance of winning. After all, her identity is extraordinary. She used to be Princess Jing of Northern Qi, the daughter of the Prime Minister, and the adoptive daughter of the empress dowager.

"It's not that she refuses, it's..." She saw Zhao Chen staring at him, and after all, she didn't finish the rest. She wants Xue Xijian to stop, but even if Xue Xijian agrees, will Zhao Chen give up? I'm afraid that before the army of Northern Qi comes, Zhao Chen will turn against anyone. She can't be unprepared by this.

"What is it?" Xue Xijian asked again.

"Nothing." Murong Xueyan smiled and changed the topic, "What is the situation on the front line?"

Xue Xijian and Zhao Chen looked at each other and shook their heads.

Obviously, the situation is not optimistic. The sound of killing has spread from the other side of the mountain to less than a li. After a few days of fighting, I'm afraid that the war will burn here, and it is difficult for the two emperors to retreat completely.

However, it was at such a critical moment that the soldiers and horses of the Northern Qi did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but gave up in time and let the North Qi and South Vietnam a living path. What's more incredible is that the news came from the front line that Du Feiqing, the marshal of the Northern Qi army and horses, had been fighting hard for days. He was exhausted and had fallen ill, and had sent people to return to the DPRK and asked to return to Beijing to recuperate.

Seeing that the Northern Qi army was going to win a complete victory and made such a scene of retreating due to illness for no reason, Xue Xijian and Murong Xueyan were puzzled, but Zhao Chen smiled inexplicably: "I heard that the daughter of Du Feiqing, the general of the town, had been expelled from the palace because of some things."

"The battle between the two armies is not a child's play. Will Du Feiqing act like this because of his own selfishness? Murong Xueyan was surprised.

"He was not like this before, but I sent a spy to deliberately let them arrest him and make such a statement. Is there any father in the world who doesn't care about his daughter? Zhao Chen's smile became more and more proud.

Zhao Chen's hand, even Xue Xijian, secretly told it to Fang He. Murong Xueyan looked at the king of Nanyue, who usually looked impatient, and was a little timid. This person actually used psychological tactics and used Du Feiqing's weakness to achieve his goal. He was also thoughtful. Well, about her origin...

Zhao Chen over there is still announcing his plan: "Now the situation is taking a sharp turn for the better, and the advantage is greater than the disadvantage for us. The North Qi side will definitely change the coach, and our reinforcements are about to arrive. At that time, we will take the opportunity to fight back, and we will definitely catch him off guard.

And Xue Xijian clearly has a retreat. With Zhao Chen's carefulness, you can't see it, can you?

After a while, as Murong Xueyan thought the same, Zhao Chen had pointed the finger at Murong Xueyan: "King Song, your future queen is from Northern Qi, right?"

"So what?" Xue Xijian asked angrily.

"If I expose her identity in front of the two armies, guess what will happen?"

"How dare you!" Xue Xijian was furious and desperate. He pulled out Zhao Chen's skirt and raised his whole body.

Zhao Chen was restrained, and his subordinates were shocked, but he himself laughed and said, "I'm just joking. Why should the King of Song take it seriously? As long as the King of Song obediently continues to cooperate with me, I promise that this Xueyan girl will definitely be safe in this army.
