girl riding a horse

Chapter 593 It's Snowing

After she finished speaking, she got on the horse, stared into the distance, and returned to her usual majestic and cold look.

The orderly left.Soon the phalanx in the barracks began to move in an orderly manner. The sound of the armor's friction and uniform footsteps was deafening, with the taste of ruthlessness and iron blood, which made people's hearts tremble.

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty:
"Are you going back to the capital?"

Xie Yuan said lightly: "No, the two cities were taken back according to the plan."

Zhang Qing was dumbfounded, looked up at Xie Yuan who was on the horse, and said anxiously:
"But this is a trap, they are cooperating with Wei Guoli..."

Before he could speak, Xie Yuan interrupted him and said:
"I know that I have captured the chariot and cavalry general Shi Bo. In a short time, their army will be leaderless and unable to move. When I capture the city, if there is any change in them, I will be able to deal with them with the solid walls of the city."

Zhang Qing thought about it, he didn't understand military affairs, Xie Yuan said no problem, then it was probably no problem, but...

"But the situation in the capital is not known now. If the Xiao family completely controls the city defense battalion and the imperial army, His Majesty is in danger, and Shen Guozhu is also in danger. Should I give up here first and go back to rescue him?"

Xie Yuan pursed his lips and looked into the distance, with obvious worry and despair on his face. After a while, she lowered her head, pulled the rein and controlled the horse to take two steps forward, getting out of Zhang Qing's gaze , said:
"Perform their duties, I believe in Shen Guozhu... If everything is over now as you said, it won't help if I go back now. But if my master can turn the tide and stop the rebellion, or temporarily delay the development of the situation, I will You can’t go back without success.”

She paused, and then said: "I personally need this victory to silence those who question and slander me. The imperial court needs this victory to deter those who are vacillating and harboring evil intentions."

Zhang Qing looked at Xie Yuanhong's eyes and her stubborn expression, and stopped talking.

He understood what Xie Yuan meant: this was the first time she had led an army since she became a general. If she failed, those who objected to questioning her because she was a girl would have even more objections. It will be more chaotic.

But... what if both His Majesty and Shen Guozhu have already encountered an accident?

Let's hope for a miracle to happen, or else only revenge will be left.That would be the most tragic and hopeless ending.

……

……

When Xie Yuan galloped down the city with his army, snowflakes suddenly fell in the gloomy sky, and the tall city walls were glowing with a cold blue color. Under the entire sky, it was as eerie and depressing as a ghost town.

With a wide view on the city wall, the Wei people naturally spotted them first, so they quickly gathered archers, spearmen, oil barrels and stones, and stood in several rows densely, ready to defend.

Xie Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the number of people above. It was not much different from what he had estimated. In such a large city, the gates are far apart. If you get the news now and come to help, it will take a long time.

They have a chance.

Just as Xie Yuan raised his hand and was about to give the order to attack the city, he saw a white figure suddenly appearing on the city wall.

The man was wearing a pure white toga with long sleeves, sackcloth on his body, and a white cloth tied on his forehead. Even from such a distance, he could still see the astonishing color of his red lips, white teeth, and the armored soldiers on the city wall. In comparison, it is out of place, like a small white flower blooming on a cliff, delicate and fragile.

He is so conspicuous in this gloomy and chilling sky, on this imminent battlefield, no one can ignore his existence.

That person is Shen Liuzhen.

Xie Yuan frowned when he saw him dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and his eye circles turned red all of a sudden.She pursed her lips stubbornly and looked at the city wall with hatred, but she couldn't wave her raised hand.

At this time, Shen Liuzhen shouted loudly to the people under the city wall with a clear and joyful voice, full of grief and indignation, ups and downs:

"I am, the son of Shen Qing, Ding Guozhu of the Song Dynasty, Shen Liuzhen! All the uncles and brothers of the Shen family, if you still don't know the news of my father's death, I will tell you now. My father, Shen Qingzhi, because he reported two people who tricked him into rebellion People, but were killed by the order of the little emperor! This is the fate of loyal ministers!!!”

He roared hoarsely, and Xie Yuan, who was standing behind the phalanx on horseback, suddenly turned pale. The white snowflakes fell on his face and turned into water, mixing with tears.

She looked up at Shen Liuzhen on the city wall, her vision blurred.

Several generals of the Shen family standing near her were shocked when they heard that, and asked one after another:
"Is this true? Why is there no news from the capital?!"

At this time, Shen Liuzhen continued to shout:

"You are the traitors of Song State now! They secretly unite with Wei State to kill you, but you want to attack the city for Song State, is it worth it??!!... A Yuan! All the clansmen of the Shen family Brothers, as long as you surrender and become part of the Wei State, I, Shen Liuzhen, promise that the military power will not change, and it will still be under your own command, so surrender!!!”

His voice floated over from a distance, and the soldiers on the empty ground heard it. The soldiers who were about to attack the city just now became confused.

Xie Yuan was riding on a horse. She, who had always been strong in front of others, no longer had any desire to control herself, and let her tears of despair and sorrow flow into a river.

People around her were arguing and wondering, and she was in it, feeling that her soul was floating out, looking down at everything now, looking down at the past, and felt that everything at this time had become absurd.

She couldn't move, and couldn't speak, she just stared fixedly at the white figure on the city wall, weeping unconsciously, dazed in a daze.

Shen Liuzhen waited for a while, and saw Xie Yuan at the back of the phalanx riding motionless like a puppet, the anger and pain in his heart were extinguished, he supported the city wall, choked up a few times from his throat, then turned around and went down the city wall.

"Open the city gate!" Shen Liuzhen yelled at the soldiers guarding the city gate.

At this time, the soldiers are overwhelming, who dares to open the city gate?

Shen Liuzhen shouted again with red eyes: "Open the city gate and let me out!"

Dugu Jian, who was in charge of Shen Liuzhen's safety, looked at the high commander Shi Yu Hengjia. Shi Yu Hengjia silently turned his head and raised his hand to signal the messenger to open the city gate.

Shen Liuzhen pulled a horse and was about to leave the city. Just as Lonely Jian and Liu Qinbing were about to follow, he shouted viciously:
"You are all here! Don't follow me!!"

Dugujian and Liu Qinbing were stunned for a moment.

As a result, after being stunned for a moment, Shen Liuzhen had already rushed out through the gap in the thick city gate.

The city gates closed again before their eyes...

　Cough cough... Sorry, some readers don't know that I said that Xie Yuan will definitely go to Wei Guo.

　　So when I saw the latest chapter, everyone was very nervous. I read the message, and a friend was dying of anxiety.

　　I was going to post it earlier.

　　But this is the main event. I have been thinking about the position of Shen Liuzhen for a long time. It should not only conform to the dramatic conflict, but also conform to logic, right...

　　So, sorry for the delay until now...
