Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1078 He is not the most important

This is the battle horn!
When they heard the loud and powerful sound of the horn, they were all startled and Shentu Tai stopped moving.

Yuwen Ye immediately raised his head and looked forward. The golden light emitted by the rising sun was more dazzling than ever. He immediately felt a darkness in front of his eyes and subconsciously closed his eyes. However, at the moment he closed his eyes, he still saw the flags fluttering in the wind appearing on the distant horizon.

Although they were so far away, the murderous intent in the sound of the horn had already rushed to them with the wind.

Shen Tutai didn't see clearly, but he had heard the clue from the murderous horn sound. Although Shi Yutao was right in front of him, he still stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Yuwen Ye: "Your Highness?"

Yuwen Ye said: "Retreat!"

With just one word, his action was even faster than when Shi Yutao and his men came to kill him. He immediately turned his horse's head and waved his hand to command the people around him: "Follow me!"

No one dared to delay and turned their horses around following him.

Shen Tutai was originally at the front of the team, but now he immediately became the last person in the team. He was also the slowest and even looked back at Shi Yutao - the two were only a few feet apart, and he firmly believed that as long as he made a move, this person would be easily captured.

But Yuwen Ye was about to withdraw.

He gritted his teeth, and finally sighed in his heart. He put away his spear, tightened the reins, turned the horse's head and galloped in the direction he came from.

Almost in an instant, Yuwen Ye and his men retreated from the river beach, leaving behind only corpses and people who had been shot by arrows and fell to the ground, wailing and rolling. There was also Shi Yutao who was holding the long axe tightly. At this moment, the wound on his palm had completely broken, and the blood had soaked through the bandage and slowly flowed down the axe handle. It was so slippery that he almost let the long axe slip out of his hand several times, but he seemed to feel nothing at all, and continued to hold the axe handle tightly, allowing the blood to flow continuously and drip onto the grass.

Then, the blood drops that fell on the tips of the grass were blown away by a murderous wind.

The sound of the horn in the wind gradually subsided, but what followed was an earth-shaking shock. A team of a thousand people came galloping in, and soon arrived around Shi Yutao, quickly surrounding them and forming a circle. Two of them walked in the front.

It was Xiao Yuansui and Hua Ziying.

The two people came in a hurry, their faces looked a little ugly, especially Xiao Yuansui, who looked at the mess on the ground and looked at Shi Yutao with a sullen face: "You did a good thing."

"..."

Shi Yutao finally came back to his senses, but his face gradually turned pale: "You, what are you doing——"

Hua Ziying still held a bow and arrow in his hand, and he was obviously ready for a big battle. He just didn't expect Yuwen Ye to withdraw so quickly. But even so, he didn't dare to neglect it, and walked forward a few steps. Until he saw that Yuwen Ye's team in front of him had no signs of returning, he turned his horse's head and walked back, frowning at Shi Yutao: "The general was worried that you would not accept the defeat, so he planned to talk to you again today. I didn't expect that you would come here with your men before dawn."

"..."

"Master Shi, since we are on the same path, shouldn't we discuss everything together?"

"..."

"If you act on your own, how can we manage our troops in the future, regardless of whether we win or lose? If everyone behaves like you, do we still need military orders?"

He said this without any reservation, and reprimanded Shi Yutao in front of his men. Shi Yutao was embarrassed and said unconvincedly: "You are all often in battle, don't you know how to win by surprise?"

Xiao Yuansui said coldly, "Did you win?"

"..." Shi Yutao was speechless and his face turned red all of a sudden.

Xiao Yuansui continued, "You only know that Yuwen Ye came to the north bank to herd horses, and you want to win by surprise. Then why didn't you think about whether he came here to herd horses or to fish? You want to win by surprise, and so does he?"

"..."

"If he could be controlled so easily, would we have to come up with so many solutions? Would your sister have to go through so much trouble?"

When he heard the word "sister", Shi Yutao's face became even uglier, but he was also completely speechless.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Xiao Yuansui took two deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger in his chest, then said, "Return to the camp immediately!"

Just as Xiao Yuansui and his group of horses hurriedly came, and then hurriedly left the north bank and returned to the camp to be on high alert, Yuwen Ye also returned to Hulao Pass with hundreds of horses and soldiers who had not yet stretched their muscles. After getting off the horse, he casually threw the reins to the personal soldiers who came forward, and hurried back to the big tent, immediately found a roll of maps and spread it out, looking carefully at the mountains and rivers on it with a gloomy face, and his fingers passed over the city walls one by one.

After a while, Shentu Tai also walked into the big tent.

In the encounter just now, he was the only one who participated in the fight, and this level of fighting was just a stretch for him. He didn't even breathe hard, but his face was very solemn - he was not a person who loved fighting and gaining merit, but he was also a little confused about Yuwen Ye's decision just now.

When he saw Yuwen Ye looking at the map, he subconsciously wanted to say something, but he hesitated and could only stand aside.

Yuwen Ye looked at the map and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Shentu Tai immediately looked up at him: "Your Highness——"

"Just say what you want to say. You are not the kind of person who would beat around the bush."

"Your Highness just retreated too quickly."

"Xiao Yuansui's men are here, and they blew the horn from such a distance, not to fight us, but to warn us. If we don't retreat under such circumstances, they will be in trouble."

"Even so, given the situation just now, I can still capture Shi Yutao."

"He's not the most important thing."

Shen Tutai was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to understand and continued, "But, isn't Xiao Yuansui here too?"

"..."

"Your Highness, do you think that he brought too many troops with him, and that the few hundred of us who crossed the river cannot fight him?"

Yuwen Ye shook his head: "I'm not talking about Xiao Yuansui either."

Shen Tutai looked at him: "That is——"

As they were talking, Yuwen Ye's hand finally stopped at a certain spot on the map. Then, Shentu Tai heard him take a breath, as if he was finally sure of something, but this certainty seemed to be mixed with a bit of fear. Then, he let out a deep breath and looked up at him: "I'm talking about Shi Yuxin."
