Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 1317 The pit is 304 meters deep, and the imperial driver personally conquered it
The night is deep, on the south bank of the Han River.

It's the second watch, and the cold wind seems to have cooled the world.

When the emperor arrived across the river, the battle between Nanrong and Beimeng in the niche had already been going on for two hours.

In the Nanrong camp outside Jinzhou City, there was silence.

The Nan Rong who stayed behind in the camp were all waiting for Yu Jia to come.

This battalion is currently the main camp of the South Rongbing, and it is only a few miles away from Jinzhou City.

Yesterday afternoon, before the Beimeng Suhe army arrived, the soldiers who arrived from Bianjing and other places settled here first, obeying the unified command and dispatch.

Around Haishi, Song Xi arrived at the camp.

He was dressed in silver armor, his face was full of coldness, and his waist was tied with a sword, shining faintly.A pair of eyes like a falcon in the night, sharp and full of hostility, in the welcome ceremony lined by a group of soldiers, he frowned slightly, nodded to say hello, and rode straight past it, straight into the account of the Chinese army.

People at that time attached great importance to etiquette.

In particular, the etiquette of monarchs and ministers is even more grand.

But some etiquette is really annoyingly long.

Especially at such a time of war, Song Xi had no intention of dealing with those local officials and generals who seemed overly excited when they first met the emperor.Even, there are some rituals that can't be seen to flatter like this.

After entering the big tent, he immediately summoned Guan Zongguang, the general of Jinzhou who commanded the Battle of Kangu.

I have to say that Guan Zongguang did a pretty good job, at least this is the most beautiful battle since the war between Nanrong and Beimeng.Song Xi affirmed him, and after some verbal praises, he promised a lot, and I asked about the latest battle situation in Kangu.

Guan Zongguang was a little nervous, lowered his head, and told the truth.

But after hearing him mention that Su He's army could not attack for a long time, the entire Beimeng army fell into a slump, and after the impetuous military morale caused the attack order to be chaotic, Song Xi's cold eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if he didn't believe it.

"Will there be such a thing?"

Guan Zongguang was a little displeased to see him belittle himself and his enemies so much.

This is not only because the emperor doesn't trust him, but also because he doesn't trust the Nanrong army!
He felt depressed, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just explained with a smile on his face.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this time Su He's army will show its defeat, but there is a previous reason. Fortunately, His Majesty asked the envoy to come and forward that... the battle of heart attack, and this minister let the soldiers publicize Su He on the city wall. He and Menghe are at odds, and Menghe has already abandoned the Beimeng army, letting them know that they have no support and food, and disturbing their morale, this is how they achieved such a result! In other words, it is all thanks to your Majesty!"

As long as the flattery is good, no horse is useless.

After Song Xi heard this, his indifferent face softened a little.

"It's hard to take care of the general. I want to go to the niche to see—"

After saying that, he was about to get up, and a group of generals in the tent of the Chinese army were startled immediately.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it! You can't do it!"

The emperor's ass is not hot yet, and he is going to hang out in front of the battle?
It doesn't matter to him, but for people like them, isn't it fatal?
Guan Zongguang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he folded his hands in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, the two sides of Kangu are at war right now, it's too dangerous—"

"Is it okay for me not to go to a dangerous place?" Song Xi smiled slowly, "If I just hide in the tent of the Chinese army and listen to the news of the war, why bother to march in person?"

"This——" Guan Zongguang thought for a moment, then cupped his hands anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, even though that is the case, how can you be in danger because your majesty is a man of gold? It is impossible to guard against flying guns and arrows on the battlefield, and the battle is ever-changing. My minister thought..."

"Guan Aiqing, don't say any more." Song Xi glanced at him impatiently, then turned around, stretched his arms, let Li Fu put on a cloak for him, and strode out of the tent with a calm expression. His movements were nimble, but his voice was extremely powerful, "None of the Great Khan of Beimeng can't lead troops to fight, and there is no one who has never been on the battlefield. Why can't I be Nanrong?"

The generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the end, there was only a heavy sigh.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

For the courtiers, it is better for the emperor to stay at home and rest before going into battle.There are more than 30 Nanrong soldiers in Jinzhou's Kangu area. With Su Hena's [-] soldiers and horses alone, they can't reach Jinzhou for the time being. There is no problem with safety. Song Xi is in command here, and they can rely on the emperor's command. The prestige stabilizes the morale of the army, and it can save a lot of security work, and there is not so much leisure to worry about.But the emperor wants to drive to the battle?Is this fatal?
What is the difference between bringing an emperor by your side to fight a war and putting a bomb?
……

"Your Majesty, Nigu City is ahead."

Guan Zongguang followed Song Xi closely, never daring to leave.

"En." Song Xi responded lightly.

Looking from a distance, the torches are lit under the night, as if they are connected together.From such a distance, the sound of killing and all kinds of hysterical and noisy shouts seemed to be able to reach the ears, with a smell of gunpowder smoke, which made people feel tense in all their limbs—the original tension of war.

Song Xi frowned slightly, then turned to look at Guan Zongguang.

"Why didn't our army take advantage of the situation to go out of the city and turn the defense into an offense?"

"This—" Guan Zongguang was slightly startled.

Seeing that Song Xi seemed displeased, he quickly leaned over and smiled with him: "Your Majesty, before the big battle, the last general discussed with several generals. As long as they block the attack of Su He's army in the altar valley, no one will help them. Without backup, we will be dragged to death here sooner or later. Our army is not good at offensive tactics, closing the door and defending against the city is less expensive than attacking out of the city—”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Song Xi.

In fact, he really wanted to say, isn't this the decree issued by Your Majesty yourself?
That one word: drag!

Could it be that he had misunderstood the Holy Will?
There was doubt in his heart, but Guan Zongguang didn't dare to ask.

The emperor is the emperor, even if he changes his mind three times a day, who cares?

Song Xi frowned and thought for a while, and seemed to think that what he said was reasonable, so he stared at him, and without saying anything more, he straightened his horse to speed up and climbed up a hillside not far ahead.Standing on a relatively high ground, he overlooked the Kangu City not far away. He didn't insist on the idea just now, and slowly waved his hands down the hillside.

"General Guan, let's take a look inside the city!"

"I obey!" Guan Zongguang saluted again.

The news that the emperor's imperial driver had personally marched to the front of the Nigu formation inspired Nan Rong's army.

As a result, in the wave of fierce attacks of the Northern Meng Army, the morale of the Nan Rong soldiers was unprecedentedly high, and they guarded a small niche valley so that no water could be poured in.In the past, the Northern Meng Army rushed up the city wall from time to time, but I heard that when Song Xi arrived, the Southern Rong Army's momentum was even stronger, but the attack power of the Northern Meng Army weakened more and more. Slowly, it became a siege. No attack, only occasionally send a small army over to harass the city gate.

Not long after, Song Xi personally boarded the Niche Hecheng Tower.

In the light of the fire at night, the Beimeng army outside the city was numerous, densely packed like ants.

Looking at the formation, although it was messy, it did not reach what Guan Zongguang called "disorganized".

Song Xi narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the crowd, everyone is wearing the same armor.

He was catching Su He's figure——

After being separated for so long, he hadn't seen him for a long time.

There is such a thought in my heart to see what he has become.

Hearing that his face was ruined and his appearance changed, he was also curious - what kind of ugliness did he look like, and Mo Jiu didn't even dislike him?How ugly is it that everyone can't recognize him?

But the crowd was too chaotic, and he searched for a long time, but he didn't see him.

Pursing his lips, he took another step forward and looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see a farther place through the dense formation of the Beimeng army - whether there was the woman who had been thinking for a long time.

No!

Except for soldiers and horses, flags and streamers, and the thick night, where did they come from?
After a while, he slowly closed his eyes and sighed mockingly.

"Ugh!"

She was pregnant with his child, even if she was in the army, how could she appear in front of the battle?
Is he missing it too much?To be so charming, I hope to see her gallantly ride a horse and kill in the army.

"Your Majesty, it's cold on the top of the city, let's go back!"

"not cold!"

"But here—here, it's dangerous! Your dragon body is important." The cold sweat on Guan Zongguang's forehead has not dried yet, and he led the emperor to cruise in front of the battle. He felt that what he was carrying was not a weapon at all, but it was clearly him. The melon seeds in his head also took the lives of the whole family.

The emperor has three advantages and two disadvantages, no matter how many heads he has, he will not be able to chop off.

His heart was wrenching, seeing Song Xi's appearance, he was already in a hurry.

Song Xi swept across his face slowly.

After a long time, he hummed and nodded.

Seeing this, Guan Zongguang was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassionate ministers and others."

Before going down the tower, he glanced at the Beimeng formation outside the city wall, closely followed Song Xi's pace, thought about it, and suddenly said, "I think your Majesty's previous words are very reasonable. By now , the Beimeng army is indeed exhausted and unable to support. Now that His Majesty is sitting in the coffin, why don't we open the city gate and catch them by surprise?"

He came here to cater to Song Xi, and also for his own official status.

Judging from the current situation, Nanrong's chances of winning are indeed great.

If this victory is won, Guan Zongguang will be named in history. What kind of glory is that?
But after Song Xi listened, he pondered for a moment, and then denied his suggestion, "No. General Guan forgot the battle of Jun County Mountain? Su He is very cunning. He just besieged but didn't attack, and he was tired. Don't believe it. Better go out and beat them when they're in full swing, than attack when they—"

Guan Zongguang was startled.

Think about it, it is true.

Thinking that the Suhe army could rush from Bianjing to Qianzhou in three days, and even captured two cities in a row, how could such a man-eating marching pace and extraordinary spirit be exhausted after two hours of continuous attack? so?
Clear the trap!

Guan Shuguang's back tightened, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Song Xi didn't answer, but strode down the city wall, rode a war horse and wandered around the city, seemed very satisfied with the atmosphere of the army and the people working together to fight against the enemy, chatting with the people in the niche from time to time, doing a good job of Mingjun Attitude, this is like asking Guan Zongguang casually.

"I heard that the giant of the Mo family went to battle with Su He's army. Has Guan Aiqing seen anyone?"

Guan Zongguang was startled, and his mind became clear.

The emperor had some ambiguous rumors with Mo Jiu before, so asking him like this must have ulterior motives.

It's just that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, he doesn't know what kind of thoughts the emperor has.

Think about it, Guan Zongguang replied ambiguously.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. Earlier, the spies reported that Mo Jiu's carriage was outside the city. However, the Northern Meng Army also had a camp outside the city. They attacked the niche this time, and they came up in several batches. Yes. A group of attacks, a group of preparations, and a group of rest, very organized."

Speaking of this, he thought of his previous suggestion, his scalp went numb, his lips trembled and he aimed at Song Xi, "Your Majesty, I almost made a big mistake."

"What's wrong?"

"Since their attack is so orderly, they should all rest properly. How could they show such a tired and invincible attitude? Thanks to your majesty's wisdom, if not, I will be fooled again and miss the battle."

This guy can talk and flatter without anyone noticing.

Song Xi smiled slightly and didn't say much.

A group of people rode on the smoky Kangu Street.

It was noisy all around, but they were very quiet.

Therefore, in the battle, such quietness suddenly showed more tension.

"General Guan—" In the silence, Song Xi suddenly turned around, "I'm walking around, you don't have to follow me, go get busy yourself!"

"Your Majesty, the current situation of the war is not in a hurry, and I am not in a hurry."

Song Xi raised his brows, as if he wanted to get rid of him, "I can go on my own, and the general is busy with military affairs!"

The previous sentence was polite, but this sentence is already an imperative sentence of command.

The subtext is: you are a general leading the army, the battle is ahead, if you don't make arrangements, what will you do with me?If you really have nothing to do, what do you want the commander to do?Do you still want to do it?

——Guan Zongguang probably heard such a meaning, hesitated for a while, and galloped to the tower.

Song Xi led a group of guards and stopped in the middle of the street on horseback.

The surroundings fell silent again.

Li Fu secretly glanced at Song Xi's face, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, we—"

"Let's go out of the city." Song Xi interrupted him, and turned his head slowly, with the twinkling lights in his eyes.
