Dongfang Yan also showed a smile of agreement in a panic, "Then the fourth sister, I will congratulate the eldest brother in advance, but when the time comes, the eldest brother should not forget the fourth sister and my credit." Looking at Dongfang Jian's forgetful appearance, Dongfang Yan secretly clenched his hands, and a trace of ruthlessness inadvertently flashed under the echoing smile, but it was back to normal after a moment.

Suzhou city, like a scene of slaughter, although it is already noon, but the city gate of Suzhou is closed, and there are no people in and out of the city gate, but in this quiet outside the city, I heard a regular sound of horses' hooves, and from a distance I saw a burst of yellow sand outside the city, in this yellow sand, I only saw Qiu Tianfang's armor draped aside, there was a lot of blood on his face, his eyes were very flustered, and he kept looking at something in a panic, as if to confirm whether anyone had caught up, followed by a dozen or so soldiers dressed in the same costume, looking at it like that, they should be Qiu Tianfang's personal guards.

Since the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars, whether it is Liangzhou or Suzhou and Ganzhou, the city gate has been closed, for fear that a Tatar spy will not be checked for a while, all this that happened outside the city has already been discovered by the soldiers on the city wall of Suzhou, and reported to Wu Qian early, Wu Qian climbed the city tower, squinted his eyes and watched the crowd running in a hurry, and was on guard, "The army listens to the order, immediately prepare for war, without my order, no one is allowed to release arrows without authorization!" There were only a dozen or so people in front of him, although they were wearing armor, but for a while Wu Qian couldn't tell whether this was a Tatar scout or not; as soon as Wu Qian's words fell, the defenders on the city wall of Suzhou were all aiming at the dozen or so people who came on horseback.

A series of actions on the city wall have long been seen by Qiu Tianfang, knowing that Wu Qian did not recognize himself, afraid that he would shoot himself with an arrow as soon as he gave an order, and hurriedly wanted to restrain the horse, but the speed of the helpless all the way was too fast, and the horse under the crotch was in pain, and raised his front hooves vigorously, and all of these dozen people were lifted off the horse without exception, Qiu Tianfang was not prepared, and he rolled several times on the ground before he could avoid the hooves of the frightened horse, and when he got up again, he didn't say that he was disgraced, and even the helmet on his head didn't know where it fell, how could it be described as an embarrassment。

Wu Qian saw the real thing on the city wall, and saw that these dozen or so people not only did not mean to retreat, but took off the heavy armor on their bodies and threw them aside, running towards the city gate without regard to the image, while running, and waving towards himself as if he was saying something, Wu Qian looked strange, and quickly raised his hand to stop the sergeant who was about to shoot an arrow, "Don't act rashly first, wait and see what they are going to do." ”

When these dozen or so people ran closer, Wu Qian heard what the person in charge of the group shouted, "Brother Wu, it's your own person, it's your own person, I'm Tianfang, Qiu Tianfang, don't you remember me? Don't release arrows, don't release arrows!" Hearing what Qiu Tianfang was shouting, Wu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person threw himself on the city wall, poking his head out of the city wall to see if the person below was Qiu Tianfang, but because Qiu Tianfang's face was already covered with blood when he came, plus he had just been rolling on the ground for a long time, and his face was already full of blood and mud, how could he see the appearance of his face clearly? Qiu Tianfang also realized that he quickly clapped his hands and wiped his face clean so that Wu Qian could see clearly, sure enough, this time Wu Qian recognized Qiu Tianfang's appearance, and suddenly the nervousness just now turned into joy, and hurriedly shouted back to his voice, "Quickly put down the arrow, it's General Qiu, it's General Qiu, quickly, quickly, open the city gate, and let General Qiu enter the city to rest!"

"Brother Wu, Qiu is ashamed of his brother, the factory, and the world, and I have no shame to meet the saint!" As soon as Qiu Tianfang led these dozen people into the city gate of Suzhou, he 'poofed', knelt down in front of Wu Qian, and said silently.

"Tianfang, please get up, hurry up, victory or defeat on this battlefield is a common thing in soldiers, where will someone fight all their lives and never taste a defeat? Wu Qian saw that his old friend came back alive, and the smile on his face suddenly became a lot more, and he hurriedly leaned over to help Qiu Tianfang, and let him enter his state capital yamen all the way, and constantly comforted Qiu Tianfang on the way, so that he could settle down, first rest in Suzhou, and wait until the Tatar rebellion was quelled, and then return to the court to ask for guilt, "God, you and these brothers in this East Cross Courtyard will live in peace first, and I will inquire about the movements of the court side of the court." ”

"Then you have to bother your brother. The tears in Qiu Tianfang's eyes had not yet receded, and when he heard Wu Qian say this, he turned around and knelt down in front of Wu Qian again.

Where did Wu Qian dare to let Qiu Tianfang kneel, hurriedly held Qiu Tianfang, and shook his head, "Tianfang, you are doing this to see the outside, we both work for the factory father, and we are brothers who are like brothers and sisters, your business is naturally my business, what is there to worry about, it's just that I am a local governor, and the people in the court are soft-spoken, and it is probably not so easy to keep you, the general of Zhenxi, with my own strength, if I am fortunate enough to return to the imperial court, I may have to rely more on your own creation." Wu Qian knew that Qiu Tianfang's loss of 300,000 troops this time was already a crime of killing his head, and if he went back like this, I am afraid that it would really be more than lucky, but... Wu Qian's last words just turned into a sigh, so he gently patted the back of Qiu Tianfang's hand, arranged Qiu Tianfang's residence, and then turned around and walked out of the East Cross Courtyard.

It's just that what Wu Qian didn't know was that when he turned to leave, Qiu Tianfang secretly exchanged a look with a gray-faced soldier beside him, but in an instant, Qiu Tianfang returned to the sad expression he had just had, sighed heavily, and returned to his room in a dejected manner, weakly closing his door.

"Wow!!" In the depths of the yellow sand, in a Tatar military camp that stretches for several miles, in the largest gold-domed tent, Tuogu Tan'er's face was suddenly red, and he opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of black blood, and suddenly the whole big tent exuded a burst of foul smell, spitting out this mouthful of blood, Tuogu Tan'er woke up slowly, and in the hazy and hazy, Tugu Tan'er seemed to have come to the Bluestone Valley, and saw with his own eyes that his so-called invincible iron cavalry army was surrounded by the Baicang Sea in the bluestone valley, and there was a burst of blood, Without exception, they all looked at themselves anxiously, and when they saw themselves wake up, they breathed a sigh of relief, and when the doctor who accompanied the army was about to come up to check the wound, he was pushed away by Tuogu'er, "I... Where are we? Are we still outside Liangzhou City? What about Bai Canghai?" Tuogu said in a hurry, and before he finished speaking, he caused a violent cough.

Just now, those generals were still very happy when they saw Tuogu Er'er wake up, but when they heard Tuogu Er's anxious question, they all lowered their heads in shame, and Tuogu Er'er looked at their expressions, and they already had a little understanding in their hearts, and their tone suddenly became depressed, and they asked in a trembling whisper, "I... We're defeated? There is still ... How many are left? I....Do I have the face to go back to face our Tatar people?"
