Chapter 370 Raid
The man suddenly laughed, "Helping the Turkic people? No, people do it for themselves. Whoever treats me well will work for them. I was killed by the Liang people and saved by the Turkic people. Naturally, I want to help Save my man."

"A Turk who helped save you, came to kill thousands of Liang people?" Yu Miao's voice fell, and the big tent fell silent.

Chu Yun's face was cold, and she didn't speak again.

After a long while, he licked his chapped lips and said, "I think peace talks are beneficial to both countries, especially to the people on the border of Daliang. They can migrate to other places without being disturbed by the war. But how can the people of Daliang migrate so easily? Turkic horses are abundant, and the transportation of grain and grass is very convenient, but Daliang is not a nation on horseback. After a battle, The consumption of military resources in Daliang will definitely not be small. Transporting grain and grass is a big project, and a soldier needs almost three civilians to support it. After this, how many young and strong laborers cannot engage in agricultural production? The duration is long, and it is inevitable If it affects Daliang's treasury revenue and reduces grain production, the battle for Daliang will be even more unbearable."

Yu Miao looked at Chu Yun in surprise, never thinking that he knew so clearly and thought so thoroughly.

"Then you kidnapped me just to facilitate peace talks between the two states?" Gongsun Lan couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Chu Yun glanced at her, chuckled, said nothing, and lowered her head again.

"Can I be of such great use?" Gongsun Lan gently tugged at Yu Miao's sleeve again, looking up at him and asking.

Yu Miao shook her head, "No."

Gongsun Lan snorted, and muttered alone: ​​"I don't believe it."

"You seem to have something to say, didn't you say it? If you really want to facilitate the peace talks between the two countries, you should tell everything you know, which is the most beneficial." Yu Miao said slowly, "This War, not only you don't want to fight, I don't even want to fight. I just watched my soldiers charge into the battle and bury their bones in a foreign country..." Yu Miao shook her head, her eyes were full of mourning.

"Daliang refuses to negotiate peace. The emperor of Daliang can't see the chaos in the frontier. The general has no way to change the emperor's mind. If he doesn't pretend to be defeated, why should he fight so hard here?" Chu Yun asked with a sneer.

"There is absolutely no reason for that." Yu Miao said, "How is that different from betraying the country?"

Chu Yun snorted, "Pedantic."

Yu Miao sneered, "If you don't want to speak, then stay here and wait until you are willing to speak."

After finishing speaking, Yu Miao turned around and walked out of the tent.

Gongsun Lan also hurriedly followed, with some confusion in her eyes.Back in Yu Miao's big tent, she couldn't help asking: "That Chu Yun, doesn't he look too bad?"

Yu Miao looked down at the sand table, "He didn't say anything, he didn't reveal any important information."

Gongsun Lan said, "I think what he said is also a solution. You have been winning battles. People in the capital don't know the situation here in the frontier. Even I didn't expect it to be... so difficult. If you lose the battle Let the people in the capital know that they can't sit back and relax, so naturally they won't insist on continuing to fight."

Yu Miao glanced at her, "Deliberately defeating the battle? Do you think the war is just for fun?"

Gongsun Lan opened her mouth, seeing his serious face and displeased eyes, she had no choice but to change the topic and said: "Since you think that Chu Yun has nothing to say, then torture him to force him to speak out. The torture equipment is very complete, I am not afraid that he will not talk about it."

"This kind of person always eats the soft but not the hard, and even if he extracts a confession, he can't get what he wants. Besides, he is from Liang, and now he is close to the Turkic people. If he blindly extracts confessions by torture, he will only hate the Liang people even more. .” Yu Miao was talking.

Suddenly there was a battle cry outside.

Yu Miao's expression changed, she put on her battle armor, and was about to go out with her spear in hand.

Gongsun Lan couldn't help but follow behind him.Yu Miao stopped immediately, looked back at her and said, "Stay in the tent, you are not allowed to go anywhere, you can't leave the camp in one step."

"I……"

"If you take a step away, I'll send you back to the capital right away, and I will tie you back even if you don't believe me. If you don't believe me, you can try!" After Yu Miao finished speaking, she left the tent without looking back.

Gongsun Lan watched the curtain of the camp tent fall, cutting off her sight.She pouted, and wanted to go out to see the situation outside, but her steps approached the door of the tent, but she retreated.Biting her lower lip, in front of her was his serious expression when he spoke, she shook her hands angrily, his stern voice really shocked her, making her most curious and anxious, but she could only stay honestly Inside the tent.

Hearing the hurried footsteps and people coming and going outside, he didn't dare to take a step away rashly.

After a rush of footsteps outside the camp, it became quiet. The sound of shouting and killing seemed to be far away from the camp. Even though Gongsun Lan had a keen ear, she could only hear the occasional sound, which was faint and indistinct. affim.

This is a sudden night attack by the Turks, right?
Judging from Yu Miao's reaction, and in the barracks, there is no panic at all, it's time to go to the battlefield in an orderly manner, and it's time to guard the guards. They should have faced such surprise attacks a lot, right?

Gongsun Lan's heart was beating non-stop. Although her brother was also a general, she lived in the family of a general, but it was the first time in her life that she was so personally on the scene, so close to the front line. In the safe camp, I was also a little nervous, and my palms were slightly sweaty.

The more nervous she became, the more curious she became, but Yu Miao's words were still in her ears. She paced back and forth in the big tent, anxious, but she didn't dare to take a step out of the big tent.

This sudden battle lasted almost all night.

Gongsun Lan stayed up all night without closing her eyes. Maybe it was because she fell asleep for too long before, or maybe the medicine Shen Xinniang gave her was still stimulating. She felt that she was not sleepy at all, and she couldn't wait to know the outcome of the battle as soon as possible. result.

When the sky was about to light up, she heard a sudden noise outside the tent, the sound of soldiers greeting each other, and the sound of hurried footsteps, the quiet tent, in the twilight morning light, was bustling for a while. Hustle up.

She immediately ran to the door of the tent, waiting eagerly for Yu Miao to appear.

But after waiting and waiting, the footsteps outside the camp gradually calmed down, but Yu Miao was not seen.

A lot of conjectures immediately popped up in her mind, she was so shocked that she couldn't bear it for a moment, she just wanted to lift the curtain and go out to have a look and ask for herself.But he didn't dare, he could only plant his feet as if they were rooted in the door of the tent, while rubbing his hands, he told himself, wait, wait, I will be back soon, and I will see him soon.

If he had been waiting all night, but at this time he caught her out of the tent, wouldn't he want to send her back to the capital?She waited all night for nothing?
Suddenly hearing steady footsteps getting closer and closer, Gongsun Lan who was standing at the door of the tent felt her heart jumping in her throat, is this him?It must be him, right?Yu Miao must have come back, right?The other soldiers are back, how could he not come back as the coach?

The moment the tent curtain was lifted, Gongsun Lan almost burst into tears with excitement.She herself couldn't understand why she was so nervous and excited.

Yu Miao was also slightly taken aback when she saw her at the door of the tent.

Their eyes met, and both of them were silent for a moment, Yu Miao was the first to react, turned around, and walked a few steps in, "Have you been awake?"

Gongsun Lan immediately stepped forward, "How is it?"

"The Turkic people make a surprise attack. If you can't beat them, run away. It's an old trick." Yu Miao put her spear aside, and stretched out her hand to untie the armor tied to her body.

Gongsun Lan couldn't help but stepped forward to help, "Could it be that they knew about Chu Yun and the others being captured by you, so they came to raid and wanted to rescue them?"

Yu Miao shook her head, but before she could speak, Gongsun Lan yelled, looking at the bright red blood on her hand, "Are you injured?"

She hastily tore off the armor on his body and carefully checked his clothes, "Where is the injury? Where is the injury? Don't you know it hurts? Don't you know you need to bandage it?"

Yu Miao stared blankly at the extremely nervous Gongsun Lan for a moment, and couldn't help but smile slightly with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Are you still laughing? What's so funny? Is it comfortable to be injured?" Gongsun Lan frowned and scolded him.

At this moment, Yu Miao seemed to have the urge to hug her gently. His arms were slightly opened, but he seemed to be afraid of startling her, so he put them down quickly, "No, it's not my blood."

Gongsun Lan saw that the clothes inside his armor did not show signs of injury, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "Aren't you the coach? Why do you have to charge in person, and just sit in command? There are also vanguard officers who charge in the battle!"

Yu Miao nodded, "Don't you think that during a battle, the commander is by your side, which will make the soldiers more brave and fearless when they charge into battle?"

Gongsun Lan looked at him with her lips pursed, as if she suddenly understood why he refused to pretend to be defeated on purpose.

"I'm going to see the wounded. Dinner will be served later. You wait here." Yu Miao took off her armor, not even caring about changing her blood-stained clothes, and went out in disgrace.

Gongsun Lan was not so easy to dismiss this time, "I want to go to see the wounded, too."

Yu Miao stopped and looked back at her, "Are you sure?"

Gongsun Lan immediately took a step forward and followed closely behind him.

Yu Miao nodded, "Just go, don't cry later, Northwest Army, shed blood but not tears."

Gongsun Lan raised her pink fist, "Do you underestimate people? Why am I crying?"

But after seeing the wounded inside and outside the camp, she really wanted to eat back what she had just said.Her nose was already sore, and tears were rolling in her eyes, almost blurring her vision.Those who were seriously injured were inside the tent, and those who could still stand or move sat or lay outside the tent, bandaged each other, or held gauze by themselves and wrapped their wounds in circles.

The wounded were grinning, clearly unable to speak in pain, but none of them cried for their father or mother, some endured the pain and bit their lips, but they did not shed a single tear.
