Under the hazy sky and the howling cold wind, the last few single yellow leaves could no longer stand firm and withered from the cold and desolate branches, drifting towards the wilderness where there was still lingering snow.
The remaining snow has not yet melted, and the wind and snow are coming again.
King Huai's chariot and horses had already traveled far, and Ge Boyi, Yang Maoyan and others put away their sadness and worry and prepared to return to Shouchun City.
"Ta-ta..." Ten dozen horses came galloping from the northwest.
"Where is His Highness King Huai? The commander of Chushan Camp, Jingsheng Marquis Xu Huai has an urgent secret letter to deliver to His Highness King Huai!"
The visitor was blocked by the guards and could not get close, so he vibrated to announce his intention.
"How come the people in Chushan's camp don't understand any rules and just want to rush in while yelling? If we really treat them as assassins and ambush them, Chushan will resent us for being ruthless..."
Ge Boyi looked at the messenger sent from Chushan in the distance with a gloomy face, and had no intention of calling him to ask Xu Huai what important matter he had. This time he bypassed the court and sent a messenger directly to King Huai.
It's just that the people who ridiculed Chushan like Yang Maoyan and others didn't understand the rules.
Yang Maoyan knew that the Ge family almost fell into the hands of Xu Huai, and this deep hatred could not be solved no matter what. He thought to himself that Ge Boyi did not pretend to be an idiot and kill the messenger sent by Chushan as an assassin.
He regained his temper and said with a smile: "They are a group of thieves, how well does Ge Shuai expect them to know the rules?"
Perhaps the guards intercepting the outside told King Huai that he had set off for Jianye, and the messenger from Chushan shouted loudly: "In front of you are Ge Boyi, Ge Shuai, Yang Maoyan and Yang Langjun? This is Xu Zan, the captain of the Chushan Camp Selected Front Military Academy.
If you have something to tell me, please ask Ge Shuai and Yang Langjun to see you!"
"Xu Huai came to Shouchun and I didn't see him. He still had to think about it. Anyone in Chushan can be a messenger. Why do you want me to see him because of his loud voice? How rude!" Ge Boyi said with a look on his face.
He said gloomily.
"These people who can't tell the difference between high and low are just driven away. Why does Ge Shuai need to be angry with them?" Yang Maoyan said with a smile, and the royal horse accompanied Ge Boyi to the south gate. Ge Yu and other generals also looked at them coldly.
After the messenger from Chushan was driven away, he went south to chase the Huaiwang's chariots and horses.

"What the hell?"
Xu Fang was young and energetic and had an impatient temper. He repeatedly disobeyed the generals under Chen Zixiao. Chen Zixiao couldn't bear it and demoted him to a pawn and kicked him back to the Selected Front Army.
This time, considering that the Japanese scouts might have penetrated south of the Huai River on a large scale, Xu Huai sent Xu Pang and Su Mi to Shouchun with more than ten elite troops to make urgent contact and ask them to gain more experience.
They arrived all night long, but they didn't want to be roughly driven away by Ge Boyi's guards outside Shouchun City. At this time, Xu Zang still suppressed his temper and led people with Su Mi to chase them south.
Unexpectedly, when they caught up with King Huai's chariots and horses, they were still blocked by the guards and interrogated as if they were thieves.
Xu Pan was so angry that he reined in his horse and stopped aside, while Su Mi, who had a gentler temperament, stepped forward to negotiate.
Su Mung patiently handed over the seal and said to the leader of the handover guards: "This time the soldiers attacked Huaishang and threw the Western Region Artillery into the battlefield to attack the enemy and defeat the enemy. It is far more powerful than ordinary stone artillery. It is astonishingly powerful - hereby
The matter is serious. I asked for an audience outside Shouchun City but I was not sincere. I hope this eldest brother will bear with me. We must personally hand over the letter written by my master to His Highness before we can go back and deliver it!"
The leader of the guards glanced at Su Mung sideways and smiled: "Little brother, if I can make the decision, of course I won't stop you, but you have to think about it, let alone you. Even if Xu Hou is here, he will definitely
Can I see His Highness? People need to know how to value themselves!"
"Su Miao, just throw Xu Huai's letter to these people. Don't bother with them." Xu Zang drove his horse over, threw the secret letter in Su Miao's hand towards the head of the guard, and said sternly, "Give this letter to them."
King Huai, if something goes wrong, you cannot bear the consequences!"
After Xu Zang said this, without looking at the face of the guard leader, he got on his horse, turned around with his men, and headed back against the biting cold wind.
Shouzhou and Guangzhou were placed on the south bank of the middle reaches of the Huaihe River. However, when initially dividing the defense area, considering that the Huaiwang Mansion led the southward retreat from Hebei and Jingdong with a large number of troops, numbering hundreds of thousands, the Yingshui and Huaishui rivers were divided
The areas near the branch, including Gushi and Geyang in the east of Guangzhou, were placed under the jurisdiction of the Huaiwang Mansion; while Huangchuan, Luoshan, Xinyang and other places in the west of Guangzhou were placed in the Chushan Defense Area.
Chushan's troops and horses were too limited, and Xu Huai lacked basic trust in Prince Huai's Mansion. Huangchuan and other places connected to Shouzhou not only did not rush to restore county governance, they did not even set up a separate higher-level metropolitan inspection department.
.
Xu Huai only set up several inspection departments in Huangchuan under the jurisdiction of Luoshandu Inspection Department to monitor the possibility that enemy troops north of the Huaihe River might cross the Huaihe River from the west of Huaichuan and near Yingkou.
After the situation became more severe this winter, Xu Huai even ordered the withdrawal of villages in Huangchuan and other places, and organized the evacuation of all people to the hinterland west of Luoshan New City to avoid unnecessary losses.
The territory of Huangchuan can be said to be completely deserted.
Xu Zang and Su Miao wanted to return to Xiangcheng to resume their duties. After leaving Shouchun, they rode westward all the way, not stopping even after nightfall.
In the second half of the night, there was a strong wind and snow. People could bear it, but the horses under their crotches were also very heavy. Xu Fang, Su Mong and others encountered a ruined temple with a large part of the courtyard wall collapsed, so they stopped and took shelter from the wind.
Snow,
The crowd gathered dead branches, lit a bonfire in the dilapidated temple, heated hot water, and filled the cakes with dried meat and wheat cakes.
Xu Tan left the matter of taking turns to watch the night to Su Miao. He put on his clothes and armor and took a nap against the earth wall. After a while, he started to make loud noises.
When he asked Su Mitui to wake up, Xu Zan heard the whistling wind mixed with the sound of horse hooves. There were quite a few people there. Seeing that all the generals who woke up first in the palace were holding swords with nervous expressions, he grabbed the sword standing against the wall with his backhand.
Chang Yan glared at Su Mi angrily and said, "Have the enemy troops come over? How did you arrange the night watch?"
"I sent Shi Qi to guard the river bend forest as a secret sentinel, but for some reason, he hasn't come back yet..." Su Miao said.
"Perhaps I asked the soldiers to touch them," one person came over and whispered, "the soldiers are very sneaky and touch people. They will catch you if you don't pay attention!"
Xu Teng lay low and listened to the sound of horse hooves coming straight from the small temple. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "The barbarians are approaching, but they are not alert. Shi Gouzi must not have been caught by them - he must have secretly slept in the forest. This time
I have to skin him!"
"The captive soldiers are unprepared. We can take advantage of them and break out to the west! This place is only forty or fifty miles away from Luoshan." Seeing Xu Zang's hesitation, Su Mi said, "The stone dog has not fallen."
Once in the hands of the soldiers, he will find a way to break out!"
"He has no horses with him, and he is sleeping in the woods. Once his whereabouts are exposed, where will he escape?" Xu Zang shook his head and said resolutely, "Take the horses and let's go meet Shi Gouzi!"
Seeing Su Mung's hesitation, he asked contemptuously, "Why, this group of soldiers came from the river bend. I don't know how many people are there. Are you feeling guilty?"
"Don't look down on others!" Su Mung said angrily, "The sword in my hand may not kill less enemies than you!"
On the way to Shouchun, they also encountered enemy scouts who crossed the Huaihe River to spy on them, but they were all in groups of a few or a dozen people. Of course they were not afraid. If they hadn't had the important task of delivering letters, they wouldn't have minded harvesting a few.
Go back with your head to receive the merit.
At this time, the enemy cavalry approaching the small temple consisted of about a hundred horses, which should be half of a hundred-man cavalry team.
The hundred-man cavalry did not maintain sufficient vigilance and approached the small temple, but this was not good news.
This means that this cavalry is not the scout troops of the Red Husbands - the Red Husbands cavalry have already crossed the Huaihe River in large numbers. This cavalry should be the advance troops, but they were not expected to be there in the deserted wilderness.
This is just a small elite group.
Now, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, they break out directly to the west. They should still get through the gaps in the enemy's army, but they have to go north to meet up with Shi Qi first, and then break out to the west. Even if they are delayed for half an hour, it is possible.
They called on the enemy cavalry, who were far more numerous than them, and after hearing the news, they surrounded them from all directions.
Of course, Xu Pang said so, and even the young and energetic Su Mi couldn't say anything about abandoning Shi Qi and not caring about it.
Xu Pang and Su Miao led several people to secretly lead out the war horses and pack horses. He led five good men to ambush behind a temple door that had collapsed long ago - luckily the traces of their overnight stay in the ruined temple were covered by heavy snow.
, even the collapsed courtyard wall was covered with a thick layer of snow, and it was hard to tell how big and high the gap was. The soldiers approached the temple gate, but they didn't all break in directly.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the bonfire in the main hall had been quietly extinguished with multiple layers of wet felt blankets. Through the gap, Xu Zang could see forty or fifty captive soldiers dismounting in front of the temple gate.
First, five or six Japanese soldiers walked in unsuspectingly, presumably to see if the ruined temple was suitable for a temporary campsite. But the moment they stepped out of the ruined temple, Xu Tan slashed at the intruder with his long spear in his hand.
go.
His extremely powerful force did not make the blade become any more ferocious, but it was surprisingly light and agile. It turned at a very fast speed in mid-air and cut open the faces and throats of the two soldiers in almost a single slash.
, then the chop turned into a stab, and the sharp blade stabbed into the chest of a prisoner soldier - the prisoner soldier had just made the action of drawing the sword, but his chest was pierced, and he was not killed on the spot, and even grabbed him fiercely.
Holding on to the pole, he wanted to resist Xu Zan and retreat, giving his companions in the rear time to draw their swords and bows.
Xu Zang raised his foot and kicked it out like a heavy hammer, sending the soldiers flying backwards.
Xu Teng took advantage of the situation and drew out the sword. The next moment, like a fierce tiger, he went straight to kill the soldiers outside the temple gate. At this time, every slash of Chang Tong was extremely sharp and powerful, slashing the heads and chests of the soldiers who were caught off guard.
Straight thrust.
This group of advance soldiers were all elite soldiers. When they encountered a sudden change, they immediately drew their swords. However, Xu Pang Changshan was so powerful that he killed these elite soldiers and retreated one after another in order to avoid them.
槊峰.
Xu Fang led his men to fight out from the temple gate, while Su Mi led his men to gallop through the gap in the courtyard wall on the side. They killed the captives from the flanks, with long spears and spears flying, so that these captives had no chance at all.
When taking a bow and shooting arrows, he didn't even care about the horses, so he could only desperately retreat to the outside, towards the woods and other obstacles.
At this time, Xu Pang and Su Miao took advantage of the chaos among the captives, climbed on their horses, and galloped away to the north...
