Su Qingsong raised the curtain and entered, followed by Wu Yingxun, the general on the right, Yang Yi, the general on the left, and Yuan Ai, the deputy. "I've seen His Highness." Su Qingsong said first, and after speaking, he followed Eunuch Liao to the side of the bonfire, and several of them sat down separately.

"Gentlemen take a break, and this servant is going to watch tea." Liao Xiaofu seated the four soldiers, rolled up his sleeves and ran to get the bowls.There are no jade pecking bone china teacups in the big tent, but stone bowls.Liao Xiaofu held a large pile of bowls in front of his shriveled chest, fearing that the adults would have to wait for a long time, he hurriedly bent down to scoop up the hot milk tea in the pot, and said softly while scooping: "Adults, please take your time. This is hot, you have to blow it before you eat it, it warms your stomach."

Yang Yi stared at Eunuch Liao's exposed wrist of Bai Shengsheng, and sat quietly. When it was his turn, he took the stone bowl with one hand, and separated his fingertips from Eunuch Liao's fingertips, as if some flame burned his heart. for a moment.Can't help asking: "Thank you, Eunuch Liao, for your kindness... Eunuch Liao did it himself? A lowly job... I have no eyes, but I have never seen that Eunuch Liao is still a dexterous person."

Liao Xiaofu seemed very humble when he heard it, he was totally different from the way he was playing with the prince just now, he shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Yang is too well-reputed, I was prepared for it, I will give it a try when I see all the soldiers in the camp, I don't mind it Just fine."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it in a humble position..." As if sensing the blush on Eunuch Liao's cheeks, Yang Yi's cautious heart swayed for a moment.He was different from Wu Yingxun, he was born into a military family, entered the forbidden barracks at sixteen, had never had any dealings with women, and it was the first time he realized that men could be more beautiful than women, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.Looking up again, Mr. Su has already laid out the map of the northern border.

"Vice General Yuan, is this the frozen river you are referring to?" Su Qingsong said worriedly, "It seems that there is really ice that won't melt for a hundred years in this frigid place in the north."

Yuan Ai is the deputy general of the defenders, who has been stationed at the northern border for more than ten years. He is in his prime, and there are not so many trivial rules.Liao Xiaofu was in a bad mood. He was burning another adult. He was about to speak with concern when he heard Vice General Yuan put down the stone bowl, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and asked, "Why is this milk tea?" It can be so sweet! Who drinks this? I can’t drink it anymore!”

He was used to drinking salty wine, how could he know that it was specially prepared by Liao Xiaofu for the prince, so he stuck his tongue.Fortunately, Yuan Ai is not a person who cares too much. Before Liao Xiaofu answered, he said to Su Qingsong: "This river is sixty feet wide, and it is frozen all the year round. To tell you the truth, Mr. Su, I have not seen the surface of the river since I am stationed in the northern border. After opening, even June is covered with a thin layer of ice."

Qi Mo couldn't help but get emotional when he heard this. "Could it be that the attack on the former commander had something to do with the river course?"

"Your Highness is wise, that's right!" Speaking of this matter, Vice General Yuan still couldn't hide the pain in his heart, "The former general of the military doctor Dao died of poisoning, and it was an hour after his head was taken. It is absolutely impossible to send the general's head under the nose, and send it all the way to the hands of the Liao soldiers. The snowfield before the battle is absolutely impossible. The two battles did not kill the envoys, but the Liao people are bloodthirsty, so they sent envoys to the front The head of the commander-in-chief is wrapped in Ge cloth, the purpose is to invigorate the momentum of our army! Could it be that I, Dazhao, have always been polite and refused to do things that turn back on you..."

Hearing what he said sincerely, Qi Mo frowned fiercely.In the confrontation between two battles, not to kill the envoy is indeed an eternal etiquette, because the envoy has a heavy trust and has the great task of blending and negotiating peace.I once heard the Taifu say that the ancestors fought against the barbarians, and the barbarian envoys came here wearing dozens of skulls, just to intimidate people's hearts.He didn't want the Liao people even worse, not only assassinating the commander of the Dazhao Defending Army, but also sending his head back in a grand manner, which made him unbearable. After a pause, he asked: "Could it be that Vice General Yuan told him to go back intact?"

"Then how can we do it! If you really tell him how to come and go back, how can the humble position be worthy of the kindness of the former commander-in-chief, and how can he remember the great injustice of the commander-in-chief!" Yuan Ai was still extremely impulsive when he mentioned this matter, as if waving his hands With a sharp knife, he said cheerfully: "Since the injustice of the Northern Liao Dynasty was the first, don't bother with any nice words, they are all for the dead! On the day when the humble official goes to see the heroes and heroes, he must kneel down to his ancestors himself! That day I ordered someone to cut off one of his arms, and told him to carry it back."

Liao Xiaofu was standing beside the prince, hearing his knees suddenly ached, the palace was dangerous, and he had never heard of such a thing with his own ears, it was like chopping off a dry bone. "Okay! Have fun!" Yang Yi said loudly at this time: "But what does this have to do with the frozen river?"

"That day when the commander's head was returned, the military doctor was surprised to find that the general's head was a little swollen, but it's already October in the north, so it can't be exposed overnight. Unless it's..."

"Unless it's soaked in the river?" Qi Mo seemed to have noticed something, his eyes aimed at the formation map, "Could it be that this missing head was sent from the river bank? But the ice is sixty feet wide, and it can't It will be sent from above, unless Xizuo set up the hook rope early, dug ice holes on both sides of the bank, and sent it out under the ice without knowing the ghosts and gods. It is said that the people of Beiliao are good at walking on ice, so the Xizuo may be Liao people , I don’t know if Gu’s guess is right or not.”

"Your Highness is so brave!" The other people hadn't spoken yet, but Liao Xiaofu was the one who couldn't help himself, but he always said this sentence, and he was used to it, and now he blurted it out and realized that he had already lost his mind. Out of proportion, he hastily defended: "It's not... this... this slave made a slip of the tongue, adults don't blame it."

It's really no wonder, Qi Mo couldn't say anything in front of people, but he couldn't laugh or cry because his lips were tense.As long as a soldier who knows a little bit about how to use soldiers may be able to understand this matter, it's just that Xiao Fuzi always regards him as brave and unparalleled, and unintentionally does some stupid things that hurt others.When everyone was interrupted by Eunuch Liao's words, they were stunned for a moment, and laughed as if they were slaves who had never seen a big scene.Only Su Qingsong curled his lips secretly and asked, "Vice General Yuan, what about the whereabouts of Xi Zuo?"

"At that time, it was not good to make a publicity about the humble position. It was widely rumored in the camp that the Liao people could take the heads of people from a distance. If they could not stabilize the morale of the army, wouldn't it be a big deal? So I only discussed with a few soldiers and set up ambushes in the most secret places in the glacier. He waited for half a month before he came out of the cave. But that person was in a different camp, so he would not let himself fall alive into the hands of Dazhao soldiers, and hit the ice to kill himself on the spot. He still held the black iron stone for the hook and rope in his hand, so he must have already The ropes are laid under the ice."

The muscles on Wu Yingxun's face twitched, and he said angrily: "To think of such a delicate kung fu is indeed a wolf's ambition. I am afraid that I have sent the formation map to the past, together with the number of soldiers and horses!" Some things are wrong, vaguely not as simple and clear as it looks, and I asked myself in a low voice: "Hey, if you really sent out the battle map, why didn't you rise up? Dazhao just lost an iron general, and the Liao army's momentum is high, and the number is not enough. A little bit, but if it is really a wolf's ambition, it will definitely not survive here."

This question came aggressively, leaving a deep wrinkle between everyone's brows.It was the first time for Liao Xiaofu to follow the discussion, his heart pounding in his chest.Zouma Zhengrong is the blood that is buried in every man's flesh and blood. Even if he never knew the art of war, he became nervous. He only hated himself for not being able to help. At this moment, even if he exhausted his strength, he could not relieve the prince's worries.

"Since this is the case, let's break the ice of this frozen river first, so as not to have long nights and dreams. Since the Liao people are good at walking on ice and are faster than horses on the ice, let's remove the favorable terrain first. If we can't break it Then lay a mountain of stones on it, and if there is any wind and grass on the ice surface, it will make a loud noise on the open river." Su Qingsong said coldly, turning to look at the prince.Qi Mo looked at a city on the map with his hands behind his back, but it was not the nearby Shizhou, but Yincheng, which was facing south.

"Beiliao has taken advantage of the right timing and location, but he forbears it." He looked back at Xiao Fuzi who was standing at a loss, and opened his mouth to ask, "Eunuch Liao, tell me, Gu Zeng taught What are you?"

Liao Xiaofu had lowered his eyes and was depressed, but when he heard His Highness calling him, he said half-believingly: "Your Highness once said... that it is God's will to send troops to quell the Northern Liao Dynasty. , the servant guessed...Beiliao is missing people and this pass? Could it be that there are fewer people?"

When Liao Xiaofu said such a tense situation, there was no atmosphere of chilling at all.Only the prince still smiled when he heard it, as if he agreed with this answer.In this way, Liao Xiaofu, who was hanging on his heart, calmed down, regardless of whether his shrewd thoughts were enough or not, there was a slight change in his expression.

"If there are no people and ... it must be impossible. But the number is not bad? Could it be... Could it be!" Suddenly his thin eyebrows raised, his voice became clear, and he turned to look at the same place as the prince. Yincheng.

"Could it be that you are waiting for someone?" Liao Xiaofu knew that he probably guessed right, and all the suspicion in everyone's eyes disappeared, leaving his face ashen.He went on to say: "My lords, forgive me, but I don't know much about this slave, and His Highness taught me along the way. This... This is not good. If you are really waiting for someone, wouldn't it be superfluous to assassinate the former commander? In order to be on guard, wouldn't Dazhao need to use a hundred thousand soldiers to make up for the loss of a powerful general? This... this is not right, Your Highness!"

Qi Mo was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Eunuch Liao is really smart, he can see through everything. So Gu Zao guessed that the purpose of this move was not to deter people, nor to scare the snake, but to force a person to come out. To force a person to come out of Yincheng If Gu's guess is correct, at most one month later, this person will stand in the big tent of the Liao army, lead thousands of troops, and break through the northern border of Dazhao like a bamboo!"

"Your Highness..." Liao Xiaofu asked anxiously, his palms were covered with sweat.He looked back, and everyone's faces were full of anxiety.

"Pass down the order. From now on, all the horses will be tied into the stables. Whether they kick or jump, they will be blindfolded with red cloth. They will not run wild until they are covered with red cloth. There must be no mistakes! Go!" Qi Mo shouted.

Yincheng, January.

Wu Lexian sat in the private room on the top floor of the tea house, listening to the storyteller's anecdotes and occasionally drinking a glass of shochu.Although Xunliuju's flower wine is good, it is flower wine mixed with clear water, how can it compare to strong wine for its mellow aroma?And today he came here for one thing only, and specially booked a private room where he could see the whole street to the end.Just as the whole cup was drunk, a thousand strings of red firecrackers exploded in the street, as if someone married their daughter.For a while, people were crowded, and the people ran to the side of the road, waiting to see which family's son of the top three in Chunwei this year.
