The Xirong tribes launched a large-scale attack, and the Northwest Army rushed to meet him. He completely lost his use in Baimen Gorge.
Checking military affairs? Who checked for you during the war? Checking the Zong family? There is a war now. Do you want to shake the morale of the army?
Guo Xu was worried, if this continued, there would be no chance of meritorious deeds!
After being depressed for a few days, Baimenxia finally received news from Shishiguan.
There was another avalanche on the road going north, and it was completely impossible to get through until the snow melted.
Zong Xu didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and even Yang Shu had no news.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Guo Xu felt a sense of crisis.
He is only temporarily demoted from the capital on official business. If he continues to have no sense of presence, the emperor may forget about him.
After much thought, he found a job for himself.
"Let's go on a field investigation and see what's going on in the north!"
The nephew of the Guo family was shocked: "Sixth Uncle, Mr. Yang and so many fierce generals were buried. Are we going to die like this?"
Guo Xu gave him a slap in the face: "What did you say?"
Is there such a thing as pouring cold water on yourself before you even start?
"Isn't it?" The nephew felt aggrieved, "You are a civil servant, so don't mess with them, right?"
Guo Xudao: "That's why I'm going! Look, is it useful to stay here? These military attaches usually treat us with respect, but when it comes to war, it's time for them to start shaking. If they don't want to do something,
We will be left here and no one will take care of us. Once this battle is over, the Northwest Army will be busy showing off its merits. What about us? We will have no choice but to go back to Beijing in despair. We made a mistake and left Beijing without making any achievements when we returned.
, it will be difficult to go back to the political hall again!"
"It's so serious!" asked the nephew, "Is there nothing else that can be done?"
Guo Xu sighed: "Everyone knows that wealth can be found in danger. Now that we have come to the northwest and have suffered so much, why not suffer more? Remember Mr. Ming Jing who Uncle Liu followed, right? In addition to being a Confucian and Taoist master,
, and is also proficient in geography. When I was young, I went on a study tour with him and explored rivers and mountains along the way. However, I also knew a little bit about this field survey. There are no talents in this field in the Northwest Army. If I can find a way, I can save him.
Zong Xu, even if he just recovers his body, he can use it to break into the upper echelons of the Northwest Army, and he will have the right to speak. In this way, when the military merits are shared, I can also get some. If I'm lucky, maybe the Lord will let go.
Then let me go back to the political hall."
"So that's it!" The nephew finally understood and flattered him, "Uncle Six is so talented, he is really good at everything!"
Guo Xu rolled his eyes at him: "Hurry up and pack your things, let's set off now."
"So fast?"
"The finger may have been buried, so why not?" Guo Xu kicked his butt, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Why."
When Zong Rui got the news, he was surprised: "Master Guo is going to find my father? Isn't that bad? He is a civil servant, and even Yang San didn't come back in such a cold weather. What if something happens to him?"
Joining the army had a different idea and persuaded: "Major General, let him go! Civil and military affairs are not the same. He came to the northwest. To put it bluntly, it was our fault to catch him. Now he has to find his own way. It is best to bury him so as not to give him any trouble."
We are in the way.”
Zong Rui hesitated: "That being said, it's still a life."
Joining the army said: "This Mr. Guo came from the political affairs hall. Think about it, would a person who has been a prime minister be so reckless? He must be sure that he would do this. If you stop him, not only will he not
I am grateful to you, but I might still hold a grudge against you, so why bother?"
This reason convinced Zong Rui. He thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let him go."
…
Su Tu's troops came to the city and confronted the Qi army.
Neither side was in a hurry to take action and looked at each other from a distance.
Mingwei didn't know anything about fighting, so he simply discussed with Yang Shu: "I'll go back to Baimen Gorge to report the news. What if they think we've all been buried in the snow, and they don't know how to rescue us even if the snow melts?"
Yang Shushen thought so: "Go and ask the teacher and ask him to write a letter to Zong Rui and explain this matter clearly."
Mingwei teased him: "It's quite easy for you to call me teacher now."
Yang Shu also laughed: "People offer me this opportunity, how can I not seize it? Even if this relationship is no longer effective when it goes off the gravel slope, at least the friendship is established. The status is fake, and when we are together, the friendship becomes
Really."
"I'm actually smarter now."
After a few jokes, Mingwei went to see Zong Xu.
Zong Xu was very kind to her and did not treat her as a woman in the back house. He treated her with all the courtesy as if he were a guest.
She told her what she wanted, and Zong Xu was surprised: "Girl, is there any way to go back?"
Mingwei told the truth: "The master has some special skills, which can be used with the help of mechanisms. However, this skill is rare and can only carry one or two people, so it cannot be mass-produced. It is not a big problem to send a letter."
"That's fine. If Rui'er knew that I was fine, he would be more confident."
Zong Xu called his personal guards, quickly wrote a letter, stamped it, and handed it to her. Finally, he told her: "I know that girls are not just ordinary people. It's just that the snowy mountains are dangerous. If there is anything you can't do, it's still safe for yourself."
For the sake of it.”
Mingwei agreed and went back to prepare.
That day, she took the big bird and climbed out of the gravel slope.
This situation attracted the attention of the Hu army.
"Khan, look!"
Su Tu looked at the big bird flying away and sighed: "It's too far, otherwise I'll shoot it down and see what it is."
After thinking about it, he was still a little unwilling: "Didn't you say that a woman from the Central Plains regards her husband as the greatest honor? I was willing to give her the position of princess, and even promised that her heirs would inherit the throne in the future. Why did she refuse to stay?
Come down? If she goes back to Qi, she won't get anything, so why bother?"
How could his personal guards answer this question? What kind of women from the Central Plains were like? He didn't even understand...
Su Tu shook his head and could only put the matter behind him.
Since she can't stay, there is only one way, which is to kill her!
…
Guo Xushun successfully left the city gate, rode the big horse Zong Rui had prepared for him, and headed north.
He really had a few brushes, and he walked and explored all the way, and he actually found the place where Zong Xu hid when he encountered snow difficulties for the first time.
"There are traces of camping." He murmured, "It seems that General Zongda has a good chance of surviving."
This conclusion cheered him up: "Let's go and keep looking!"
The two searched for two days, with fewer and fewer traces on the road, and finally found that the road ahead was completely blocked.
"Uncle Liu, can't you make it through this?" Guo's nephew asked tremblingly.
Guo Xu shook his head heavily: "This is the trace of the second avalanche. If Zong Xu had not died, he should be on the gravel slope by now."
This time they couldn't find the way, so the two had no choice but to turn back.
But on this section of the road, the avalanche was so severe that his legs were stiff from the cold. He accidentally missed a spot and was about to fall.
"Uncle Six!" the nephew of the Guo family shouted, but couldn't get his hand. He was extremely desperate.
At this moment, a big bird flew by, a rope hung from it, and tied up Guo Xu. (To be continued)
