Chapter 39: Xun Xiao, hold on, please don’t get into any trouble!
North of the Yin Mountains, muddy yellow sandstorms swept across the newly green grasslands, and the huge Beirong camp lay dormant in the darkness like tigers and wolves.
Inside the royal tent, Hu Yande, the new and most powerful king of the Northern Rong, unfolded the secret letter, glanced at it with a sharp gaze, and quickly said, "Write back. I'll wait for him."
It doesn't matter if Xun Xun can't act rashly, as long as the war situation progresses in line with their original expectations.
"Pass the order down. After the sandstorm stops, immediately follow the original plan and attack Baichuan Road, Daqing Mountain, and the northern entrance of Guihuan."
"yes!"
…
Return to Qizhou City.
Coincidentally, Xie Ci, Qin Xian and others were also discussing this matter.
After learning that Xun Xun had returned safely from Lu Xinyi's care, Qin Xian breathed a sigh of relief. But he spoke frankly, "Lu Xinyi could only relegate him to an unimportant position during combat deployments. He didn't have the power to remove Xun Xun."
Even if he is the head coach.
This is the best Qin Xian can do.
Gu Guan remained silent the entire time. The original track's descriptions of this super war contained several important nouns, "Duolo, Zhuosuo, Wushui River Valley, and Guiyichuan Rebellion."
She could now understand the military map, but after looking at it over and over again, she was completely confused except for the last one. She was even more unable to connect and expand these important words related to the previous battles into a coherent and complete thing.
well.
So annoying.
However, she soon thought of Xun Xiao.
She couldn't put it together. What about the Ghost Hand, who was well versed in the Northern Army and the Northern Frontier battlefield, and was familiar with the situation in the Northern Rong, and was known for his wisdom and demonic nature?
When Gu Wan was listening to them discussing Xun Xun, an idea suddenly came to his mind and he thought of Xun Xiao.
Putting her own issue aside, she quickly raised her hand, and everyone looked at her: "...I have an idea."
"Just one step."
Gu Wan scratched his head: "It's too difficult. I can't think of the rest for the time being."
Qin Xian was pacing back and forth. When he heard this, he stopped and said bluntly, "Well, this is not easy at all. I don't know how long that bastard has been planning this."
After so many years of preparation, Xun Xun had no idea how many foreshadowings he had for this battle.
Being able to tear a hole is victory.
Qin Xian said, "At worst, we can just take it one step at a time. If you have any ideas, just tell us."
"We are all grown men here. How can we let a little girl like you take the blame for something?"
Gu Guan couldn't help but smile. It was quite open-minded and exactly what she wanted!
Xie Ci tilted his head and said, "That's what you said."
Gu Guan coughed twice and said, "Xun Xiao."
"The gap between us and the person behind this must be what he's taking advantage of, right?"
There is no need to explain this, it is as obvious as lice on a bald head.
Gu Wan said, "I guess he will try to find Xie Ci first."
Xie Ci hid very well, but Xun Xiao was very conspicuous. If we find Xun Xiao, then Xie Ci must be nearby, right?
Everyone immediately understood, "You mean, we should use their own tactics against them?"
But when Xun Xiao was mentioned, everyone who was discussing lively just now suddenly quieted down at the same time. Chen Yan couldn't help but look at Qin Xian.
Qin Xian stood in front of the long table. He was silent for a moment, "I understand what you mean, but..."
Xun Xiao.
A complicated expression appeared on his face. "You should ask him first. It would be better if he is willing."
Gu Wan said: "Of course!"
She was also a little worried about Xun Xiao's mental state, but of course he could go if he felt capable.
…
Yunzhou military camp.
It was already late at night, with a few stars twinkling faintly in the deep night. Qin Ying tidied herself up briefly, re-attached her fake Adam's apple, picked up her sword and stood up: "Xuan Niang, I'm going to Yuan Niang's place. Go to bed early and bolt the door. Don't wait for me."
Qin Ying went to Gu Wan to discuss something.
Qin Xian and his men had too big a goal and were busy with military affairs, so they had little time. Except for the first time, they now usually discussed things separately and then communicated with each other.
Gu Wan and the others just came back from Qin Xian's place.
Qin Wenxuan, who had been sitting on the bed folding clothes with her head down, paused and immediately stood up. "...Big sister, can I go?"
Qin Ying turned around, the lights were dim yellow, and Qin Wenxuan mustered up the courage to look at her. It could be seen that she was very nervous, but her eyes were stubborn and she never blinked.
But she was also very fragile. The light reflected on her eyes, which were watery, as if she would cry if Qin Ying refused.
Qin Ying was silent for a moment, and finally said: "...If you want to go, go."
Qin Wenxuan was so happy that she almost cried. She immediately said, "Don't worry, big sister. I won't say anything nonsense and won't cause you any trouble!"
She was already dressed, and like Qin Ying, she quickly picked up the sword and put it on the buckle at her waist.
The two sisters closed the door and went out.
…
After returning, Gu Guan tidied up the big table in the barracks, placed eleven or twelve large teacups on it, poured tea into them, and placed the teapot in the middle. That was it.
Chen Luo and Chen Lang came together, and then Su Wei sneaked in, along with Kou Zhongyun and his cousin Yuan Wenzhao. As soon as Chen Lang came in, he pulled out a handkerchief, poured some tea in, and wiped the dirt off his face. "Pah, pah, walking around this city is worse than rolling in a mud circle."
Everyone was talking one after another, waiting as they spoke.
Qin Ying was the second to last to arrive. At that time, Xie Ci was refilling Gu Wan's cup of tea. Gu Wan turned his head and smiled at him. His eyebrows were clear under the light, but his youthful smile had the charm that only a young girl could have.
Xie Ci smiled back subconsciously.
Although he was stumped by Qin Ying's question, and had been racking his brains to no avail, and was also very worried about the divorce, he felt joy all of a sudden when he was with Gu Wan, especially when she smiled at him.
She sat beside him, holding the teacup in her hands, looking up towards the door. He could clearly see the fine hairs on her cheeks, and the warm light covered her face and body. Her every move, every glance, every word and smile were so warm and clear.
In public and in private, all kinds of important matters and personal feelings are inadvertently intertwined.
However, Xie Ci quickly forced himself to calm down. The situation was changing so fast that he couldn't keep up. Now was not the time to think about emotional issues. No matter how anxious he was, the most important thing now was to deal with business.
Then Qin Ying, Qin Wenxuan and Xun Xiao arrived one after another.
The door opened and Gu Wan looked up. Then, she was a little surprised because Qin Wenxuan was following Qin Ying.
The little girl's face was also painted, but the overall outline was still relatively clear. She lowered her head slightly and followed Qin Ying into the house.
Gu Guan was surprised and glanced at Qin Ying.
Qin Ying sighed silently and long at her.
To be honest, she wasn't really willing to do that.
It is true that Xun Xiao is a poor man and a victim, but as a family member and a sister, Qin Ying certainly hopes that her sister can gradually let him go and find another one. He doesn't necessarily need to be very capable, but at least he should have healthy limbs and face!
Qin Ying shook her head at Gu Wan, who immediately shut up. She quickly brought two cups of tea and waved, "Sister Ying is here, and Wenxuan too. Come over here and sit next to me."
"Sister Wenxuan, come quickly!"
"Sit over here, sit over here!"
A group of young men were talking at once. Qin Wenxuan pursed her lips, smiled, and greeted everyone.
The atmosphere is very good and the young people are full of vigor. Even if they hear their parents say there are many difficulties and hardships, they are not lacking in ambition and confidence.
Until the door rang again, Xun Xiao finally arrived. A tall figure in a gray velvet cloak appeared behind the threshold, and the laughter and talking stopped abruptly.
Xun Xiao has always been a loner, strange and cold, and because of this, everyone is a little wary of him.
Except Qin Wenxuan.
There was a sudden silence, and then there was a click of a stool, and only Qin Wenxuan stood up.
After a while, she slowly sat back down.
She lowered her head and clenched the sword tassel in her hand.
The hood of the gray velvet cloak covered most of Xun Xiao's face, making it impossible to see his expression. He paused for a moment before slowly walking up.
Sitting across from the square table.
Gu Wan licked her lips. This atmosphere was so fucking weird. She quickly cleared her throat and said, "Okay, let's get down to business."
…
The focus of tonight's discussion is to inquire about Xun Xiao's wishes.
The so-called turning the tables on the enemy means turning passivity into partial initiative. Now Qin Xian, Chen Yan and others have burned military advisors around them. They cover their heads and faces all day long and are severely burned. In fact, not many people have seen their real faces. When necessary, Xun Xiao can replace them freely.
"The current situation is that the Beirong are watching covetously from outside, and there are Lu Xinyi and Xun Xun inside. We have just discussed it with Uncle Qin. Xun Xun's first step must be to find Xie Ci."
"Xie Ci's goal is small, but yours will be a little bigger."
Once you find Xun Xiao, you won’t be far from thanking him.
The scope was narrowed in an instant.
Even if we take a step back, we can just define a small area. After all, on the battlefield, the strike area is often not small.
Gu Guan's words were subtle and obscure. In fact, she could guess that Xun Xun's so-called secret weapon to find Xun Xiao was nothing more than those few things, such as his mother's relics.
——After all, once you know that Xun Xiao is not dead, it will be easy to find out a lot of things by investigating further. Even Cao Yong could find out about it at the beginning, let alone Suzhou Governor Xun Xun.
Xun Xiao has mental problems and will lose control when stimulated.
But the other military advisors didn't.
"What do you think? If that doesn't work, we can try another method."
Speaking of this, Gu Wan was a little worried. She whispered, "This is just a rough idea. Don't force yourself."
There were two oil lamps in the room, the door was half open, Zhang Qing and Zheng Ying were guarding outside with knives in hand. The ox horn lantern under the eaves cast a long shadow, casting it on Xun Xiao's upper body.
His body was half bright and half dark. The hood covered most of his face, and the remaining small part of his jaw was also hidden in the shadow of the hood. He quickly raised his head, and Gu Guan finally saw his eyes clearly.
The twisted red flesh's eye moved. "Bait?"
Xun Xiao was a smart man, straightforward. His expression was fierce for a moment, and he said without hesitation, "Okay."
It's easy to talk to smart people.
Gu Wan wanted to say something, but Xun Xiao quickly interrupted everyone: "Let's do it."
His mind raced, there couldn't be a simpler, clearer and more effective method than this!
Xun Xun.
The name rolled over his lips and teeth, carrying a bloody taste.
He laughed coldly, "That bastard has been in the army for many years. I wonder how many backup plans he's made for Beirong over the years."
Outside the window, there was a gloomy sky, like a big net, covering the entire Wei camp.
Taking a risk might open up a little gap.
"Otherwise, it's not certain whether you can win this battle."
Xun Xiao's brows were sinister. He no longer cared much about Wei's victory or defeat, but how could he allow Xun Xun, the bastard, to succeed before he had already cut him into pieces?!
He wanted to destroy everything that Xun Xun had painstakingly planned!
Then grind his bones into ashes and leave him with no complete body! !
"Then, how can that be possible?"
Qin Wenxuan couldn't help but stand up. She couldn't see Xun Xiao's face, but she could hear his hoarse voice, as if gravel had rubbed against his vocal cords repeatedly and couldn't be opened. She tried her best to hold it back, but her eyes still welled up with tears.
Gu Guan whispered: "Can you control yourself?"
As far as she knew, Xun Xiao had been taking medicine all the time, and the march probably brought back many bad memories for him, so Luo Qian boiled medicine much more frequently.
She didn't know much about mental illnesses, but she knew that some people with stress disorders still had clear consciousness and could be controlled by willpower, but some could not be controlled at all. She didn't know which category Xun Xiao belonged to.
"As long as there is life, there's no need to worry about running out of firewood. We're all in this together. No matter how difficult it is, there will always be a day when we can get justice. Don't take any risks."
You should do what you can.
Gu Wan was still very sincere. Xun Xiao glanced at her and after a while, he said, "I should be able to do it."
After Xun Xiao finished speaking, he stood up, his velvet hat covering his face. He didn't even look at Qin Wenxuan and left directly after speaking.
Chen Luo frowned: "How does this person talk?"
Gu Wan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Don't mind him, he has a bad mouth. Bah, bah, bah, we are sure to win the first battle!"
"He's still sick, so we shouldn't bother with him. Don't bother with him."
It took Gu Guan several words to calm everyone down. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her fingers. Oh, it's really not easy to communicate with Xun Xiao.
…
So, the plan for the first step was decided.
As for the follow-up, we will have to deal with it as it happens.
But Gu Guan was very confident. The road was paved by people, and now everyone was testing each other, and the road would become smoother as they walked.
Xun Xun was looking for an opportunity, and this opportunity finally appeared half a month later.
During this month, the entire Yinshan battlefield has been in chaos.
The Beirong cavalry once broke through the northern gate of Guihuan, and the two sides launched an all-out battle.
The Wei Dynasty's defenses differed from those of other dynasties. They rarely built the Great Wall and relied heavily on it. The Yin Mountains stretch across over 2,000 miles. At the height of the Wei Dynasty's power, countless nations came to pay tribute, and foreign lands bowed to it. The Wei Dynasty established cities and prefectures south of the Yin Mountains, including Shuozhou, Xiangzhou, Dingzhou, and Yunzhou. The construction of border troops and the prosperity of these border towns provided sufficient supplies and strategic depth, allowing the court to respond quickly and provide strong support. The field army's mobility was exceptional, and it defeated the invading steppe peoples without a fight.
After Mingzong's reign, the Great Wall was gradually built up, and more emphasis was placed on building fortresses and checkpoints. However, due to the terrain of several major mountain passes in Yinshan Mountain, the Northern Rong cavalry could easily break through the passes and engage in a battle across Yinshan Mountain.
Once the Northern Rong invade the south with all their might, it will be a major war.
The incident happened on the day when the northern entrance of Guihuan was breached.
It was late at night.
After several days and nights of continuous fighting, Gu Guan could barely open her eyes. To be honest, she was still a little uncomfortable with this intense and massive cold weapon battle. Qin Ying held her back and said, "This is the first time it's like this!"
On the battlefield, she roared, her voice not drowned out by the billowing smoke. Qin Ying pushed Gu Wan and said, "Just take care of Xun Xiao's affairs. You don't need to worry about this."
Gu Guan had no choice but to drive his horse towards Xun Xiao.
Chen Huan played the role of Xie Ci. Currently, the armies of Yunzhou and Suzhou were united in one place. Xun Xiao was in Su Zhen's army, wearing black armor and a thin black iron mask under his helmet. He was dressed similarly to the other three people. He was dozens of feet away.
Gu Guan said she was going to Xun Xiao's side, but in fact she just wanted to change her position. She couldn't get too close to Xun Xiao because Xun Xiao knew her very well. She could put paint on her face, but in this case, she couldn't pad too much inside the armor. Her figure and skills were still easy for people to make associations.
But in the second half of the night.
Zhang Qing rode over quickly, "They're taking action!"
…
In the darkness of the night, a light indigo undergarment suddenly passed before his eyes. When the wind blew, a bluish-white skull covered with cracks was revealed.
Almost immediately, Xun Xiao's expression changed. He looked ferocious and his teeth chattered.
Everything in front of his eyes was bloody blurry, and he had to use up all his self-control to barely stay awake.
——No matter how much psychological preparation he had done, he collapsed instantly when he saw the underwear that belonged to his mother and the skull that was obviously that of a woman.
Xun Xiao tried his best to endure it, holding the horse's belly tightly. The warhorse felt pain and ran away uncontrollably.
They rushed to the edge of the army and to the edge of the canyon in the east. Those people glanced around and rushed towards Xun Xiao with swords in hand!
——He would want to get rid of Xun Xiao at the same time. Gu Guan and the others had anticipated this and arranged people to protect Xun Xiao.
Zheng Ying and others suddenly drew their swords and rushed out immediately.
The two sides immediately engaged in battle, and Zheng Ying led his men to surround Xun Xiao on his horse.
However, no one expected that when the two sides were fighting fiercely, another group of strangers would suddenly appear from the side and join the battle.
For a moment, both sides of the war were caught off guard.
The group of people looked around, fought briefly, and then rushed straight towards Xun Xiao!
Qin Wenxuan rode her horse towards them almost at full gallop, her face pale and her tone changed: "Oh no! Oh no! Suddenly another group of people appeared! There are so many!"
Without knowing the truth, he suddenly attacked.
Xun Xiao was already on the verge of collapse and was suddenly forced to the cliff of the canyon.
Gu Wan was horrified: "What the hell! Is this true?"
Who is it?
Who is it?!
It couldn't be Lu Xinyi and Zheng Shoufang.
Damn it, I'll fuck your whole family!
Gu Wan didn't have time to reply and quickly ran away with her men. "Xun Xiao, hold on, don't get into any trouble!"
The author has something to say:
Xun Xun had killed Xun Xiao's mother, so this was the most effective way to provoke Xun Xiao. (After all, Wen Xuan was still fine, and they couldn't find her.)
This new group of people are Yu Manzhen's people. (In case some people don't understand, let me explain in advance.) Li Yi didn't appear, but he was actually keeping an eye on the situation.
