246. Chapter 246 Lonely boat in the middle of the night 2
As dawn gradually breaks, the light blue sky has revealed a little bit of protein. Where the sky and the earth meet, a majestic city lies across the rolling mountains, like a mirage covered with silver-gray gauze, hazy and misty.
I gently caressed Senior Brother Xiaobai's pale and haggard face, and my voice was as light as a floating cloud, "Senior Brother Ninth, let him rest for a while."
But he slowly opened his eyes, and a mist-like smile appeared on his lips, "Rong'er, I'm much better, don't worry."
The iron horse clanked, and the horses' hooves stepped together, as heavy as a thousand stones, and it seemed that they all fell on my heart, causing severe pain.
He took a deep breath, and the fatigue in his eyes was gradually submerged in the green shadow of the car tent, "Zhao Yue, you prepare the horse, I will abandon the car and replace the horse."
I held his hot hand tightly and said, "Senior brother, you..."
The corner of his mouth raised a gentle arc, "Four years ago, I longed to fight Xue Xu. Now that my wish has come true, how can I slack off?"
[The lady is coming]
Jiuhan Pass, as the name suggests, is as deep and dangerous as a letter, and it is the only place to pass to get to the capital from the southwest.
In the coach's tent.
Sun Cheng, the guard of Jiuhan Pass, had a sad face: "In the past half month, the rebels have attacked the city four times, and now the general has less than 10,000 troops. Your Highness, come, Jiuhan Pass can be saved..."
Senior Brother Xiaobai rubbed his forehead and asked calmly: "General Sun, does he have any clever plan to defeat the enemy?"
Sun Cheng pointed to a dangerous spot on the military defense map and said: "This is Mingning City. A month ago, the rebels captured Mingning. There are currently 80,000 rebels stationed here."
Brother Ninth stroked his chin and said: "One step further from Mingning is Jiuhan Pass, and one step back is Chizhou, the rebel base. It is a dangerous place that can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating."
Sun Cheng nodded and said: "The general thought that it would be better to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and sneak attack Mingning, forcing the rebels to withdraw their troops for rescue, in order to relieve the danger of Jiuhan Pass..."
Brother Ninth frowned slightly: "There are 80,000 rebels in Mingning. If you want to capture it, you must mobilize most of the reinforcements. You already have insufficient troops at Jiuhan Pass, and it is difficult for the rebels to attack again. It is taboo to divide your troops at this time...
"
Sun Cheng sighed softly: "What the prince said is absolutely true! However, I think it is better to mobilize 60,000 Yunmen garrison troops and go north to help Mingning. In this way, if the north and south attack from both sides, Mingning will be able to wait immediately!"
Brother Ninth nodded: "Well, in this case, most of my troops will still stick to Jiuhan Pass, while a small group will raid Mingning, and we will have support from Yunmen..."
"Yunmen?" Senior Brother Xiaobai looked at the defense map intently, the coldness spreading in the depths of his eyes. Suddenly, he asked softly: "Who is the rebel leader in front?"
Sun Cheng replied seriously: "The traitor Xue Xu personally led the troops..."
Ninth Senior Brother's eyes suddenly showed fierceness: "Seeing him causing such shameful things, I should have beaten him to death with a stick back then!"
"Xue Xu fought against the world in a corner of the southwest without fading. This king actually has some respect for him... But don't worry," there was a cold smile on his lips, like a cold unsheathed sword, "Zhao Yue
, this time I will make Xue Xu pay for my brother’s death!”
The hand shook suddenly, and with a "pop" sound, the white porcelain medicine bowl suddenly fell to the ground, and the dark medicine juice slowly smeared on the ground, like a gloomy thick cloud.
He gently took my hand, his eyes showing a gentle light, "Bai Qing, don't be afraid."
Immediately, the room was filled with silence, and all the generals below raised their shining eyes and stared directly at the hand I was holding with his.
Ninth Senior Brother's peach blossom eyes squinted and said: "Generals, don't be surprised, the relationship between Twelve and His Highness is stronger than that of Jin... Sigh, it seems that Twelve is too timid. He can't bear to hear these people fighting and killing, and His Highness feels hurt.
He hurt so tight..."
Sun Cheng put on a smile and said calmly: "Your Highness and... are truly deeply in love..."
