Estranged

A few days later, Yangwu General Su wrongly led [-] black cavalry troops and [-] Xiao cavalry troops to the Pingnan military camp for support.The deputy commanders are General Yun Fengmian of the Xiaocavalry Army, General Yue Xiaoyi of the Black Cavalry Army, and Xiang Ying, the commissioner of the Supervisory Office.

It was already late November when the army arrived at the Nanping barracks. Nanping and Nanchu are adjacent to each other, with a boundary river connecting a mountain range as the boundary.This time, Southern Chu mobilized more than [-] troops from all sides and stationed in Xiangzhou. A month ago, [-] Southern Chu troops went to the north bank of the Jiehe River to attack Jiangcheng.Jiangcheng is backed by mountains and surrounded by water, and the city defenses are strong.But his general fought fiercely with the enemy for ten days, and finally lost to the army's edge, so he insisted on defending the city and getting out.Su Cuo and Yue Xiaoyi came to support. The first task was not only to stick to the Nanping barracks, but also to beware of the [-] people left behind in Xiangzhou City, and to support Jiangcheng as soon as possible.

"The top priority is the safety of Jiangcheng. There is not much food and grass in Jiangcheng, but Xiangzhou's army will try to stop it, and the siege outside Jiangcheng is not easy to break through." In the main tent, Su Cuo said.

"The last general is willing to fight a bloody road for the vanguard, and open the way for food and supplies!" Yun Fengmian begged for his life.

"General Yun's spirit is commendable, the enemy is outnumbered, so it is not appropriate to fight recklessly." Su Cuo replied.

"It's better to deploy warships on the boundary river, and select another elite force to climb the mountain, and attack the enemy outside Jiangcheng when they are unprepared. If the Xiangzhou army supports at that time, then take the opportunity to pursue them by water. If not, the crisis in Jiangcheng can be resolved. .” Yue Xiaoyi said.

"It's too risky." Su said wrongly.

"In my opinion, it might not be impossible to deploy warships. It is to confuse the enemy. Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, this is a surprise attack. The Xiangzhou military aid will be pursued by our army, and their morale will drop. Maybe they will encounter front and rear attacks. If not With assistance, the situation in Jiangcheng will be clear." Xiang Ying replied.

In the end, there was no better way, so he decided to ask Yun Fengmian to lead [-] soldiers to form a warship formation north of the Jiehe River at noon tomorrow to attract the enemy.Yue Xiaoyi and Xiang Ying led [-] Qingqi elite soldiers to climb the mountain road to Jiangcheng in the early morning.The rest stayed on for deployment.

It was night, Yue Xiaoyi was packing his bags in the tent, when he heard a sound suddenly, he turned around and saw that it was Xiang Ying.So he put down what he was doing and walked over.

Yue Xiaoyi bowed his head and said: "You are the supervisor, you don't have to go to Jiangcheng with me."

"Hmph, the mountain road is so steep. Even if you climb over the mountain, it's good to win, but if you lose, you're alone and helpless. The task is arduous, so Ben Tisi should follow along."

"Aying, I'm a soldier. Even if I die on the battlefield, I deserve it. But the Inspectorate can investigate intelligence and catch spies. You are much more useful than me. If something happens, it's not suitable for war."

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you!" pinching Yue Xiaoyi's face, "Jiaojiao, are you worried about me, or doubt my ability? I am a wolf who can protect Dayan. "

"A Ying" Yue Xiaoyi raised his head and looked at him with burning eyes, "I am very worried about you."

"I'm just worried about you, you're so stupid, how can Ben Tisi not look at you?" After a pause, he felt that the skin under his hands was cold, and took her hand: "Come with me to warm up outside."

It was just shortly after the winter solstice. Although the south is warm and humid, it is cold and humid in winter, and people like them marching are miserable.The two were sitting by the fire, Xiang Ying saw that she was still shivering from the cold unconsciously, so he hugged her in his arms and covered her hands with his.

"Aying, this is a military camp, it's not good."

Xiang Ying ignored her, "I want to hug her, who can do anything to me?"

Yue Xiaoyi couldn't struggle, but also thought that the future battle would be very dangerous, and he couldn't back down no matter what, maybe he wouldn't be able to come back, so he couldn't help but yearn for this embrace.The battle must be fought well, and as for Xiang Ying, Yue Xiaoyi can't see him being injured. "I will try my best to protect you." Yue Xiaoyi buried his head in Xiang Ying's arms, thinking in his heart.
