"It's been so long, and Jia'er hasn't come back yet......" Seeing that Su Jia hadn't returned for a long time, Xiao Tian couldn't help but mention, "It's not too early, General Chang will send someone to convene a meeting in a while, is it too late to go out to fight?"

"Brother Xiao, are you like this now...... Is it okay to go on the expedition?" Zheng Yuhua couldn't help but worry when he saw that Xiao Tian's body had not yet recovered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Brother Lao Zheng bothered...... It's okay, I'm ...... good" Xiao Tian smiled slowly and said calmly.

"We, the disciples of chasing the wind, as messengers, will also follow you on the expedition......" Zheng Yuhua took a sword and said concentratingly, "I'm worried about my junior brothers and sisters, they haven't experienced war, and they are panicked in danger, how can they be ......?"

When Xiao Tian heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will not let you go to danger when you are in danger after the army...... It's just that when dealing with the enemy's main general, Chen Shijin, I may need your help, that's all......"

"Yes, Chen Shijin is the main general, our army will attack the city, and he will definitely go out of the city to meet the ......" Zheng Yuhua thought for a while and muttered quietly, "The 'matter' with the little junior sister is not over yet, and we have to fight first, right......" Thinking of this, Zheng Yuhua was inexplicably blocked in his heart, and couldn't help but hold the handle of the sword.

Xiao Tian noticed the saber on Zheng Yuhua's waist, which was slightly small, and asked casually, "Brother Zheng, ...... your sword?"

"Oh, this is my sword...... What's wrong?" Zheng Yuhua didn't hide it, unsheathed his sword and asked.

"The shape of the sword is small and exquisite, like a ...... used by women" Xiao Tian looked at the meticulousness of the sword body, as if it was for women, Zheng Yuhua was a dignified seven-foot man, and it seemed a little unreasonable to use it as a weapon, and he couldn't help asking, "Can you lend me this sword?" Xiao Tian inadvertently made a curious request.

"Well, it's okay......" Zheng Yuhua was also accommodating, and handed the sword to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian pulled out the sword body, looked at the vicissitudes of life on the blade, and couldn't help but sigh: "This sword is quite old, it seems to be some years, it must have been sharpened for at least ten years......"

"I didn't expect Brother Xiao to have a pretty accurate vision...... Indeed, this sword has been with me for twelve years......" Zheng Yuhua sighed with a little recollection.

"It's been so long...... Xiao Tian continued to look around the sword body, his eyes noticed the delicately carved "Red Plum" on the hilt, and nodded, "Well, 'Red Plum with the Hilt, Ling Han is out of the sheath'...... In my opinion, the original owner of this sword should have been a woman......"

"You're right, this wasn't my sword ......" Zheng Yuhua closed his eyes slightly, and said in a slightly deep voice, "This was given to me by a very important person twelve years ago, and I have always carried it with me......

"Very important people...... Xiao Tian heard Zheng Yuhua's rare "emotional outpouring", and it was a token given to him by a woman, and he couldn't help but look forward to it, "You have always carried the sword with you, could it be that this woman is very important to you, Brother Zheng...... Is it your lover?"

"You're right, she's my lover-" In the face of deep questioning, Zheng Yuhua did not shy away from it, not embarrassed at all, but his eyes gradually showed sadness, "But she is no longer alive......"

Hearing this, Xiao Tian's eyes were slightly surprised, and he secretly blamed himself for asking something that shouldn't have been asked.

"This sword is a token that she left me when I met her for the last time......," Zheng Yuhua remembered the sadness he had and said sadly, "After that, I didn't see her for ten years, until I heard the news of her death......

"I haven't seen you for ten years...... Xiao Tian heard this, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and continued to ask, "Could it be ...... Brother Zheng's lover died only two or three years ago? Oh, I'm sorry...... I shouldn't have asked that......" suddenly felt that the words were inappropriate, and Xiao Tian stopped abruptly.

"It's okay, it's my incompetence......" Zheng Yuhua shook his head without landing on the ground, and sighed bitterly, "Before I died, I couldn't see her for the last time......"

How could he never have thought that Zheng Yuhua, who seemed to be mature and steady, also had a little-known sad past behind him, Xiao Tian felt inexplicable...... "Who is she, worthy of you Brother Zheng...... Miss ......" Although sad, Xiao Tian still asked curiously.

"She is ......" Zheng Yuhua fell into a sad memory for a while, and just wanted to say her name, but she came to her senses at the critical moment and responded coldly, "The topic seems to be far away, now is not the time to talk about this......"

Xiao Tian also felt that he was a little too "rude", and apologized: "I'm sorry Brother Zheng, I shouldn't have asked so much, if you don't want to say it, forget it......"

"It's okay...... The deceased, one day I will give her an explanation......" Zheng Yuhua put away his long sword, and finally said inexplicably......

"I'm back—" During the conversation, Su Jia's voice came from outside the tent, "I've cooked the new medicine, Ah Tian, you can drink it while it's hot......

It was Su Jia who got the medicine and returned, but when she came back, she saw Zheng Yuhua in her camp, and she seemed to have said a lot to Xiao Tian, and her eyes couldn't help frowning......

"Oh, Jia'er, you're back......" Knowing Su Jia's thoughts, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the atmosphere, Xiao Tian said in advance, "Brother Zheng cares about my injury, so before the military meeting, come to see me ......"

Su Jia didn't have a good face for Zheng Yuhua, Zheng Yuhua also put away his sadness, and his expression changed in the face of Su Jia......

"Why did you come to my camp?" asked Su Jia with a "cold face".

Zheng Yuhua smiled slightly, and always put on a "mysterious and disdainful" smile in front of Su Jia, and responded: "Didn't Brother Xiao say it? Last night, the first battle was in danger, and I came to care about his injury, senior brother......

Su Jia was afraid that Zheng Yuhua and Xiao Tian had said something, or that Xiao Tian had told Zheng Yuhua what he had mentioned, so he turned to Xiao Tian and asked, "Ah Tian, what did you tell him just now?"

Xiao Tian is also an understanding person, firstly, he felt that Zheng Yuhua was not the "bad guy" that Su Jia imagined, and secondly, he didn't want to make Su Jia's heart fluctuate before the war, so he put on a calm expression and said: "I didn't say anything important, I just remembered the 'trickery' of the Spirit Shadow Sect last night, and mentioned it a little more......"

Su Jia had no good intentions towards Zheng Yuhua, so she turned around and said, "I respect you as a fellow senior brother, and I won't make it difficult for you...... But the grievances between you and me, as well as the past of my parents and Mo Tianxing, that is our business, please Senior Brother Zheng don't implicate other people......"

"I don't need you to say this, I know ......" Zheng Yuhua turned his back and responded lightly, "I also said that I will deal with the matter between you and me at the right time...... It will only be the two of us ......"

After speaking, Zheng Yuhua walked straight out of the tent......

"Jia'er, I don't think Brother Zheng is as serious as you think, don't embarrass him anymore......" Xiao Tian saw it in his eyes, remembering the sadness that Zheng Yuhua mentioned in the past just now, and couldn't help but "intercede" for him.

But Su Jia didn't know it, and she didn't eat it, and her face was still cold: "I'll solve my own business...... I don't care what his background is, after all, he was sent by Mo Tianxing to deal with me, and he knows what happened to my parents in the past - things will definitely not be good, and he can't be deceived by his appearance...... Ah Tian, I beg you, no matter what clever words he says in the future, you can't believe him......" Su Jia finally pleaded with Xiao Tian to "intercede".

"Jia'er ......" Looking at Su Jia's complicated eyes, Xiao Tian was faintly uneasy in his heart, "Brother Zheng's life experience...... Things are not as ...... as you think."

After Zheng Yuhua left, Xiao Tian could not be calm. For some reason, looking at the "sharp" relationship between Su Jia and Zheng Yuhua, a subconscious sense of crisis faintly emerged......

At the end of the day, the camp tent of the Chinese army, in order to plan the trip to conquer Tongguan, Chang Yuchun personally made a decision with the imperial army, and the soldiers of the vanguard battalion waited to listen to the order......

"Everyone has arrived?" Chang Yuchun walked into the camp tent and looked at the soldiers of the army led by Tang Zhan and Lu Jing waiting in formation, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

"Back to the general, the officers and men in the army have completed the dispatch and the decision has been decided, and the troops can be dispatched immediately-" Tang Zhan said solemnly.

"Ah......" Before Chang Yuchun came again, Su Jia's pupils couldn't help but dilute, and a familiar and fearful feeling came to her heart, "Here it is again, this feeling again...... Why, why do I have a ...... when I see him? It's ...... feeling."

Seeing Chang Yuchun, Su Jia couldn't help but feel nervous in the past - the figure in front of her, vague memories seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember it...... And the battle of Tongguan is approaching, for some reason, this time the feeling is stronger than ever......

"The troops are assembled, everything is easy to say......" Chang Yuchun nodded, remembering that Zhu Yuanzhang had repeatedly mentioned Lu Jing's strategy before, Chang Yuchun turned to Lu Jing and asked, "I don't know what the army division wants, how to make a decision to attack the city?"

Lu Jing knew in her heart that this was also Zhu Yuanzhang's use of Chang Yuchun's hand to test himself...... In order to keep a low profile, Lu Jing said conservatively: "The terrain of Tongguan is dangerous, and it is difficult to attack it without strategy...... The crusade against the city is not a battle, and the capture of a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack needs needs to be carried out, and in the long run, it must be ......considered in the long run."

"What does the army division mean......" Chang Yuchun continued to ask.

Lu Jing's expression was serious, he looked at the map and said: "Frontal feint attack, confrontation with the main force, flank attack the northern road, and sneak attack the grain trough with light horses and fast horses...... Although it cannot be captured in one fell swoop, if its food and grass are cut off and its reinforcements are blocked, our army will be victorious in a protracted battle!"

"The army division is reasonable-" Chang Yuchun replied with a gentle nod.

"Of course, this is just the safest strategy...... Lu Jing slowed down and continued, "If you can't hold on for a long time, if you want to take the enemy city quickly, I'm afraid you need his clever plan." It's just that he is very dangerous, and he needs to be measured......"

"That's right...... Chang Yuchun replied and continued, "But if you have the 'Tongguan Border Defense Map' in hand and clear the enemy's defenses, all these troubles can be avoided...... In the final analysis, it was the night attack last night, and the army was not in a good position and lost the key things......" Speaking of this, Chang Yuchun deliberately glanced at Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian knew that Chang Yuchun was holding himself accountable, so he bowed his head and introspected himself: "The last general failed to protect the map, so he was removed from his military post and ordered by General Tang Zhan to ......."

"However, 'victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers', it's just that a map is lost, the crime is not serious, General Xiao still has a chance to make up for his mistakes......" Chang Yuchun straightened up and decided to order, "Then according to the safe plan of the army division, first attack the east and the west surprise attack, the main frontal feint, and the northern troops sneak attack the grain trough——"

"Yes—" Tang Zhan and the others replied in unison.

"Who will send the transfer of troops?" Chang Yuchun continued, "Our army will attack the city, and the enemy army will reach it with all its might, and Tongguan occupies the dangerous road, no matter whether it is a surprise attack, it is not easy, and it must be carefully considered......"

"The matter of the side attack on the grain trough can be handed over to the last general!" At the critical moment, Tang Zhanmao recommended himself.

"Fool ......" Seeing that Tang Zhan took the initiative to ask for help, Lu Jing said faintly on the side.

"Oh, why did General Tang take the initiative to attack on the flank?" Chang Yuchun couldn't help but ask.

"Tongguan is dangerous, the flank attack on the grain trough must be successful, and the general who is not the champion cannot-" Tang Zhan continued, "The brave general in the army, since the battle of Bianliang, there are more losses and less left...... There are only three armed generals in the battalion, Xiao Tian, Qin Yu and the last general. However, General Xiao Tian was wounded last night, and General Qin Yu was even more responsible for the main force of the cavalry, which was difficult to dispatch; although the last general was the master of the vanguard army, General Chang personally dispatched it in the formation, and the last general could lead the troops to attack, and he also asked General Chang for permission to give orders!"

After the arrival of Chang Yuchun, the power to lead the vanguard army obviously fell into the hands of Chang Yuchun, and Tang Zhan said this, which is not unreasonable.

Chang Yuchun agreed with Tang Zhan's courage to go out and agreed: "Okay, according to General Tang's words, the task of attacking the camp will be handed over to General Tang ......."

"General Xie-" Tang Zhan resolutely took the order, "The last general will be established, if the task is not completed, he should resign as the chief general!"

Chang Yuchun nodded, and then said: "But in this case, the task of confrontation between the main forces will be handed over to General Qin Yu, right......?"

"The last general will live up to the trust, lead the troops in front of the pass, and hold off the enemy army!" Qin Yu took the lead in ordering.

"Wait-" However, halfway through the words, Lu Ling couldn't help but say on the side, "Leading the troops head-on may not all require the courage of a martial artist...... General Chang, the last general is willing to follow General Qin to raise troops to confront Qianguan!"

"No, Wu Xiao, you stay, I have other tasks for you to do-" Who knew that at the critical moment, Lu Jing interrupted on the side and calmly "stopped".

"Teacher......" The teacher personally ordered, and Lu Ling had to take back his life from the side.

"Since General Lu Ling was ordered by the army division, it is better to hand it over to the army division to personally dispatch it......" Chang Yuchun did not object, and allowed Lu Jingdao.

"General Xie—" Lu Jing also got up and thanked him.

Qin Yu learned that he was leading the troops head-on and taking on the affairs of the main army, so he was ready to take on the responsibility......

"Slow-" At the critical moment, Su Jia suddenly stood on the side, as if she had something to say.

"Jia'er......" Xiao Tian seemed to have a premonition, and his eyes suddenly became nervous.

"What's wrong?" Before the decision, Su Jia suddenly interrupted, and Chang Yuchun asked rhetorically.

"Although Tongguan is dangerous, it is all guarded in front of the pass, if the enemy wants to resist our army, the main force will go out of the pass to meet the ......" Su Jia said with an excited expression, "Even so, the enemy's main general will definitely fight...... In this battle, the terrain in front of the main army was complicated, although General Qin Yu had the experience of leading troops to attack the city, he could mostly deploy the cavalry; the mountains were dangerous, and it was difficult for the cavalry to spread, and it was difficult to achieve success without seeking to change the formation, so the last general thought that General Qin Yu was a little unsafe in commanding the main force in this battle——"

The words are true, but Su Jia suddenly said this, it seems that everyone who knows her knows what Su Jia thinks in her heart.

"Reasonable......" Chang Yuchun did not object, and asked instead, "Then who does the imperial envoy think should lead the main front?"

"Leave it to the last general!" Su Jia's eyes were calm, and he was categorical...... (To be continued.) )
