Chapter 396
With the bright moon in the sky and the snow shining in the silver, a group of fast horses hurried out from the gate of Jiankang City. The trampling hoofs of the horses landed in the mud puddles formed by the melting snow in the suburbs, splashing dense mud that was a foot high. point.

The girl at the head of the team was dressed in red, her beautiful face was facing the cold wind, and she left behind the brightly lit Jiankang city tower without looking back.Through the bright moonlight, her eyes fell to the distant place, the mountains are long and the water is wide, her eyes are like streams of light, and they are full of firmness and hope.

The white walls and black tiles gradually moved away. They worked day and night, crossing the criss-crossing fields that had just begun to be plowed in spring, crossing the majestic long river, and crossing the rolling mountains...

Fearless, the girl and her entourage galloped all the way to the northwest of Daliang.

Long rivers and spring waters, seas of clouds, forests and mountains, snowy peaks and silver photos, and beautiful winter plum blossoms... The vast territory of Daliang and the extreme beauty are beyond her eyes. She has no intention of wandering in it. The missing man.

Finally, after traveling for half a month, I arrived at Lucheng County, the current border town of Daliang.

**
Xie Zhan feigned death in Yishan outside the pass.

He had already explained that once the rocks rolled down, people would release the news that the leader of the Liang army had disappeared due to the landslide, pretending to be in a state of panic without a leader in the Liang army.

Since then, Daliang Army lost two battles in a row, and even Heming Pass was lost. The group retreated to a place called "Guan Xinling" thirty miles north of Lucheng County.

And he himself, with a thousand elite soldiers, did not appear on the battlefield of the desperate struggle, but secretly passed through Jiaming Pass and went to the rear camp of the Great Zhou Army.

All the people he brought out were carefully selected and prepared by him in the Xie family's trilogy over the years, in case of the current emergency.

The army of the Daliang expedition came from three forces: the Baiyue Army guarded locally in Jingzhou, the trilogy of the Xie family, and the Gyeonggi Five Soldiers led by King Kang.As the situation required, the three parties fused together and fought side by side, under the command of General Wuwei Xie Zhan, but in fact, there were still ideological differences in private.

Xie Zhan risked his life to the north with his elite soldiers, which made some generals of the remaining two forces dissatisfied, and they could not help complaining in private——

"What does the commander mean by this? Could it be that he doesn't trust our five soldiers, so he only takes Xie's family?"

"The Baiyue Army has been stationed at the border for many years, and they know the terrain like the back of their hands. Now that the Great Zhou Army is stationed in Jingzhou, why not send a few soldiers from the Baiyue Army to explore the way!"

"He is a nobleman, does he really look like he has been on the battlefield? He was said to be well-organized before, but now he is personally involved in danger as the leader of an army. Letting the people left behind retreat again and again. It's a joke! If the people of Dazhou really take down Lucheng County, our defense line will be completely over, and then it will not be a fake retreat, but a real defeat!"

During the discussion among the people, King Kang Chen Yu and General Yan Su of the Xie family successively entered the account, and people's words stopped immediately.

After Chen Yu was seated, Yan Su saluted him, then opened the brochure in his hand, and reported to everyone present: "Our army now has 3000 people, [-] horses, [-] bows, and [-] arrows. Forty thousand, thirty-six thousand long-tasseled spears..."

Yan Su did this according to Xie Zhan's explanation before departure. Xie Zhan asked him to clarify the current situation in Daliang's army in front of all the important generals. An explanation: Although Sergeant Daliang ushered in three defeats after one victory, these three defeats did not cause much loss, especially in terms of numbers, which were far lower than the losses in conventional warfare.

To put it simply, I want to emphasize once again to those who doubted his decision-making that the deliberately arranged "defeat" of Daliang was just a superficial effort, and the losses caused by the defeat were far less severe than those in the first round of victory.

Using data to illustrate the point, the generals who had just complained about Xie Zhan were silent at the moment, at least on the surface, they were still convinced and obeyed the arrangement.

**
Xie Zhan had anticipated the dissatisfaction and complaints towards him from the rear, but he had no time to think about it, let alone care about it.

Since the beginning of the year, there have been signs of a lack of successors in the army. It is not a long-term solution to squeeze the aristocratic families in Jingzhou, and he cannot be as calm as the Dazhou people who have occupied several cities in Daliang. Finish.

However, since the opponent's surprise attack on New Year's Eve, the Great Zhou army has been pressing harder and harder. In the first month, Daliang was defeated and forced to retreat dozens of miles. In his opinion, this may also be an opportunity.He can use his tricks, lose again and again, and show a useless gesture to the opponent to make the opponent relax their vigilance.

Therefore, the people he chose to accompany him this time are all elite soldiers who obey his orders and have many years of experience in cooperation with him.

After the landslide occurred in Yishan that day, a group of elite soldiers led by Shi Qing, dressed in clothes that had been taken from the enemy's captives earlier, deliberately wiped the ground with dirt, and took advantage of the chaos to get in among the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield. Then he entered the opponent's camp, and he took the rest of the people to hide secretly outside the Da Zhou camp, waiting for news from inside the camp.

Finally, after waiting for seven full days, the victorious Great Zhou army launched a new round of southward attack, and the people at Shi Qing took the opportunity to hand out the defense map of the camp.Fortunately, Kang Wang, who stayed behind in this battle, retreated decisively for several miles according to his deployment before leaving, and the Great Zhou army returned victorious again.

Ten days later, the Great Zhou Army launched a new round of attack, occupied Heming Pass, and forced the Daliang Army back to Guan Xinling; , The gunpowder they prepared in advance was transported in again by taking the opportunity.

Everything is going according to plan.

Finally, when Dazhou tasted the sweetness and felt that the capture of Lucheng County was inevitable, and launched a new round of fierce offensive, the net he cast could be collected—Tuobayi led the army from the camp to the mighty With great confidence, when Guanxinling was fighting fiercely with Daliang Army, in the camp behind them, the warehouse where the grain and grass were placed according to the deployment map suddenly sounded loud and loud like "coax" and "pop". What followed was the sky full of flames, and most of the food and grass were lost.

On February [-]th, the Zhou army encountered stubborn resistance from the Daliang army on the southern battlefield, and then heard that the rear was attacked, so they had to withdraw their troops and return to the camp. On the way, they were ambushed by elite soldiers led by Xie Zhan...

**
February in the northern country is still winter, and spring has not yet arrived. Snowflakes are falling on the world, and the sky is dim and dark. When the wind blows again, a layer of snow and fog will appear in the field of vision.

Fu Xuan waited for him in front of Xie Zhan's big tent.

The cold wind was blowing, and the girl's snow-white fox-fur cloak was lifted high by the wind, and the red clothes inside were extremely conspicuous in the snow, like a plum blossom in bloom.

Everyone saw that the girl was beautiful, but they didn't know her identity, but they knew that they were people from Kyoto who brought supplies. They all looked at her curiously, and saw that there was fine snow on her eyelashes, and her face was stagnant due to the melting snow. Unconsciously, someone passing by kindly reminded her that she might as well wait in the tent.

Fu Xuan thanked perfunctorily, her eyes fixed on the group of people who came from afar.

In the vast white world, there was heavy snow and fog, Xie Zhan led more than half of the elite soldiers back to the camp.

He was exhausted all over, and he walked at the front of the team with difficult steps. His face was still handsome and his figure was still tall and straight. The field has been hit by wind and snow for several days, and now the dirt and mess all over the body can be seen.

The wind blows the snow, the snow falls, the gray fog is thick, everything in front of my eyes is blurred, it is too unreal, Fuxuan starts to panic, she sees the tall, thin and straight figure approaching step by step, with a long white gauze covering one eye Mr. Lang, suppressing his excitement and nervousness, said softly, "Xie Changheng."

As if in response, Xie Zhan raised his eyes and looked.

His mind was chaotic and he had a severe headache. He was severely exhausted from fighting for days, and various scenes of hacking and killing repeatedly appeared in his mind for several days.Even Fu Xuan often appeared in his hallucinations—she was dressed in red, looking at him coquettishly from a distance, smiling at him, calling him "Xie Changheng" and "Liu Lang" softly, The eyes are bright and moist, and the expression is lively and lively, captivating his soul and giving him strength.

Just like now.

Xie Zhanqing held the long sword numbly with a cold face, and when he was approaching Fuxuan, he glanced at it lightly and then looked away. A thought flashed in his mind: This time the illusion is stronger than before. It's been a long time.

Just as Xie Zhan was about to pass by Fu Xuan, Shi Qing stared round his eyes, pointed at Fu Xuan, and stammered, "My lord! You, look, look..."

Xie Zhan paused, looked at Shi Qing, looked at Fu Xuan along his fingers, and asked Shi Qing suspiciously: "Can you see her?"
