Chapter 276

After a while, Ma Wenzhao took the lead to turn his eyes away, "I'll give you time to think clearly."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.

"I've thought it through very clearly." Chai Sujin said softly behind him.

"When I bring you Zhao Yuanzhen's head, you will think more clearly." Ma Wenzhao said coldly.After speaking, he stepped out of the room.

Chai Sujin felt a sharp pain in her heart.

She raised her hand to cover her heart, panting heavily.

Just now she didn't show it on the face, but her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by both hands. She was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.

Her hand rested on her lower abdomen, where her and Zhao Yuanzhen's child was conceived.

No matter what, no matter what she will face next, as long as she is still alive, she must protect her child.

She didn't have the opportunity to be a mother in her previous life, but in this life, all of this is a gift from God. She must, must keep this life.

While Chai Sujin made up her mind.

The Chu-Shu coalition forces also seemed to have made up their minds, and the confrontation among the Three Kingdoms finally came to an end.

The frontier battle finally started after Ma Wenzhao learned that Chai Sujin was pregnant with Zhao Yuanzhen's child.

The battlefield is a place where blood is shed and sacrificed, where human lives are worthless.

The Three Kingdoms are at war, with so many soldiers and horses, and the battle for power in the capital is even more different.

Seeing the cruelty of real war on the first day, the impatient and irritable brother Xuan became very different from before.

Even though Zhao Yuanzhen specially placed him at the rear, he did not charge at the front.

But as far as the eyes can see, hot blood is sprayed everywhere, and there are corpses lying on the ground everywhere.

Human life seems to be nothing in this place.

His outlook on life seemed to be completely subverted within a day.

He retreated from the battlefield and became extremely silent. There was still some blood on his face, but he didn't care to wipe it off.When he was red-eyed, if Liang Yue hadn't been pulling him aside and controlling his reins, he would even have rushed into the encirclement of the enemy army.

Even if it is to take his own life, he must kill a few more enemy troops.

Killing people with swords in their hands, the enemy army is also human, and has parents and relatives, but on the battlefield, they don't care about these at all, the strong smell of blood fills their brains, and there is only one word in their hearts, kill!

"Brother Xuan?" Seeing that his expression was wrong, Liang Yue gave him a slight push.

Brother Xuan turned to look at Liang Yue.

"Does it have to be like this?"

Liang Yue was slightly taken aback, her face darkened, "No one wants to die. No one wants to die, and no one wants to let someone they don't know die. But if you don't kill people, people will kill you."

"This is Rakshasa Field, is this Hell?" Brother Xuan said slowly.

"Brother Xuan, there is no choice here. That's why everyone doesn't want you to stay, but hopes that you can return to Beijing." Liang Yue shook his shoulder, "Go back?"

Brother Xuan immediately shook his head without hesitation, "If I can't see it, does war not exist? If I can't see it, no one will die? Going back now is a deserter, an escape! I won't go back! What's more, I still want to save..."

"Brother Xuan!" Liang Yue interrupted him immediately.

Brother Xuan pursed his lips, his eyes became even more blood red.

Ming Jin withdraws his troops.

Both sides gradually retreated from the fight.

The wounded and disabled in Dazhou will be sent to the military medical camp immediately, and Yangyuan Dan will be distributed to those who are seriously injured.

Zhao Yuanzhen entered the camp and immediately summoned his lieutenants to discuss with him in his tent.

Brother Xuan also rushed away.

"During the sneak attack tonight, call Chongsha to be at the forefront. The generals who have fought against Chu and Shu and have been injured will be in front..." Zhao Yuanzhen's voice has not yet finished.

Brother Xuan then said in a deep voice, "They have been injured, they should be at the back, and they should rest, so how can we put them in the front again? Horses need to be trained when they are tired from running, but people are going to be tired to death? "

Zhao Yuanzhen glanced at him, ignored him, and only said to his lieutenants: "All the injured generals who are sent out tonight, after taking one Yuanyang Pill, each take another one!"

The lieutenants took the lead.

Zhao Yuanzhen made arrangements for how to sneak attack at night and how to withdraw.

"Everyone, go down and rest." Zhao Yuanzhen said.

After all the lieutenants left, only he and Brother Xuan were left in the camp.

"General Zhao...isn't it appropriate for you to make such an arrangement?" Brother Xuan stepped forward and said.

Zhao Yuanzhen raised his hand and kneaded the bridge of his nose. No blood stains could be seen on the dark black shirt on his body, but when he got close, he could smell a strong smell of blood.

He led the troops to fight, but he rushed to the front to boost morale, and he would never hide behind.

Brother Xuan smelled the strong smell of blood, and when he thought of his performance on the battlefield, he felt a little nah in his mouth.

"I'm not questioning the general, it's just that the number of Yangyuan Pills is limited now. Although this medicine is miraculous, it needs to be used sparingly..." Brother Xuan was a little anxious.

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded, "When it's time to be frugal, you must be frugal. But when it's time to use it, you must let it play its biggest role."

Brother Xuan frowned, "Distributed to the same group of people, and they are still injured, is it the most effective?"

"Perhaps you are not familiar with military orders?" Zhao Yuanzhen closed his eyes slightly, as if he was resting.

Brother Xuan was taken aback, "What military order?"

"There is an order in the army. Once the order is issued, those who are subordinates cannot be questioned and should not ask more questions." Zhao Yuanzhen said.

Brother Xuan shook his head, "What kind of military order is this? Don't you think I don't understand, and deliberately deceive me?"

"This means that once the military order is issued, even if the military order is wrong, it must be implemented, and no one can question it." Zhao Yuanzhen said, "This order is to ensure that the military order can be effectively executed at any time and under any circumstances. .If you violate the military order..."

He opened his eyes, looked at Brother Xuan, closed his eyes again, and didn't finish speaking.

Brother Xuan touched his head, "What if you violate the military order?"

"Military punishment!" Zhao Yuanzhen said coldly, "You are not my brother-in-law now, but a general under my command first."

Brother Xuan snorted, "I'm not your brother-in-law! You haven't married my sister yet!"

After finishing speaking, brother Xuan's face suddenly turned pale.

He immediately turned around and walked out of the tent, fearing that if he stayed alone with him for a long time, he would involuntarily reveal the matter.

"I don't know when Jin'er's second batch of medicine will be delivered?" Zhao Yuanzhen muttered to himself.

Brother Xuan staggered and almost tripped over the carpet in the tent.

He quickly stood firm and strode away, almost escaping from the camp.

During the sneak attack at night, those generals who were injured but took the Yangyuan Pill did not feel the pain of their injuries at all. As long as they could walk and run, they were all picked by Zhao Yuanzhen.

Their eyes were full of radiance, and they held Yuanyang Pills in their arms, as if they were more energetic than those soldiers who were not injured.

Zhao Yuanzhen personally led the troops, quietly lying in the forest on the mountain, and under the moonlight under the shadow of the forest, he quietly approached the camp of the Chu-Shu coalition army.

The closer they got, the brighter the lights in the camp, and the footsteps of the night watchmen could be heard.

Zhao Yuanzhen gestured towards them.

A few black figures, like ghosts, quietly climbed over the fence outside the camp.

The night watchman was not alarmed.

Zhao Yuanzhen was even faster. With a few good men, he went straight to the Shu army's grain depot.

There are extraordinarily many defenders outside the grain and grass depot, and the guards are heavily guarded.

And the torches are also brighter than other places, it is really not easy to get close.

Zhao Yuanzhen and the others gestured to each other.

When someone made a slight movement, Zhao Yuanzhen flew up, shot instantly, pressed the mouth of the soldier guarding outside the grain and grass depot, quickly slashed his dagger across his neck, dragged his body, and entered the grain and grass depot middle.

A series of actions, extremely fast, not even a blink of an eye.

His figure was gone.

There were three other people who entered the grain storage with him.

There are many guards outside the grain depot.

In the library, there are even several people guarding it.

It's just that these few people are scattered and searched in different locations of the grain and grass depot.

Zhao Yuanzhen made gestures with several subordinates who were with him.

The four of them dispersed, killing several people silently.

But one person didn't care much, and dropped the flint he was carrying on the ground, which immediately caught the attention of other guards.

Zhao Yuanzhen had no choice but to speed up his movements, and poured the fire oil he had brought into the surrounding food and grass, "Light it up!"

He gave an order.

The grain and grass depot of the Shu army suddenly burst into flames.

"The food is on fire!"

"Firefighting—"

The strength inside and outside the grain and grass depot panicked.

"withdraw--"

He took advantage of the chaos to flee.

Unable to stop the grain and grass depot, he arranged for other people who sneaked into the barracks to immediately start a fire elsewhere.

Many fires broke out, causing the Shu army to be in chaos immediately.

"Fire and fire—"

Zhao Yuanzhen took advantage of the chaos and fled.

The fire oil is flammable and can't be extinguished by splashing water. The fire is blown by the wind, and the time for them to escape is very limited.

Zhao Yuanzhen was originally the fastest person, so it may not be so difficult for him to escape.

However, he was the last one. Seeing that his lieutenant escaped from the opponent, he fled to the outside while killing the Shu people who were chasing him.

The fire was quickly brought under control.

Even the grain and grass depot that was splashed with oil did not suffer too heavy a loss.

Zhao Yuanzhen and others hid in the mountains and counted the remaining people.

He brought more than 40 people, and now only [-] to [-] escaped.

"General, retreat, they can't come back." The deputy general said.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the Shu army barracks from afar.

There are still Shu troops searching at the foot of the mountain, but they dare not enter the mountain rashly for fear of being ambushed.

Zhao Yuanzhen waited for about half an hour before saying slowly, "Go back to the camp."

The soldiers and horses of the Shu Kingdom encountered the chaos last night.There was a truce the next day.

The soldiers and horses of the Chu State and the Great Zhou Dynasty also lined up separately, waiting for the best and most favorable time for their own battles.

It's just that when the truce is waiting for the opportunity, the Shu army, especially the generals of the Shu army, is not peaceful.

"The few people who failed to escape were all slightly or seriously injured. After being besieged, their hearts were damaged, and they were not killed on the spot. They died without receiving medical treatment." The deputy general of the Shu army said.

"Not only that, the people who were captured alive were not badly injured, but they survived. Under the torture, they didn't say anything, as if... they couldn't feel the pain?"

"Could it be that Zhou Jun has some sorcery this week?"

……

In the commander's tent, there was a lot of discussion, although they were whispering, but the atmosphere in the tent seemed a little weird.

"Shut up, don't grow others' aura and destroy your own aura!" said the coach.

The lieutenants all pursed their lips, but in the exchange of glances, it was clear that they agreed.

"This must be a trick of the Zhou people! They deliberately made us suspicious! It will shake our determination!" The commander said, "How can there be such a powerful sorcery in this world? If there is such a sorcery, wouldn't the Zhou army want to be invincible? Invincible?"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the camp gasped.

The coach frowned, "Therefore, there is absolutely no such magic in the world! Zhou's army will definitely be defeated! You will wait for the victory to become a marquis and prime minister. The rich and prosperous land of Zhou will be your fief in the future!"

"I will follow the general to the death!" The lieutenants stood up one after another and shouted loudly.

Under the temptation of interests, the momentum finally returned a little.

The marshal waved his hand, and told everyone to go down to appease and eliminate the soldiers under their command, to control and prevent rumors from spreading in the army.

After everyone had left, he took out a small pill from his bosom. The brown pill was the size of a little finger, round and shiny, with a sweet and delicate smell.

It was killed and snatched by the sneak attacking Zhou man just as he was about to swallow the pill.

Why did that person swallow this pill at a critical moment?

He did not fail to notice what the lieutenants said.

This pill can really make them not afraid of pain, not afraid of life and death?Even at critical times, protect their hearts and save their lives?
Such a small pill can't be so magical, can it?

He put the pills in a white jade porcelain bottle and carried it on his body.

The generals of the Shu army discussed with the Chu army and conspired to surprise the Zhou army while Da Zhou's army was being repaired.

But they never thought that their surprise attack seven days later would be defeated by Zhou Jun.

The Zhou army was very fierce. Although they did not have an advantage in numbers, they were not afraid of the Chu-Shu coalition forces.Frozen won more with less, and retreated the coalition forces to the border mountains.

Even chased them dozens of miles away.

The two armies fought, and the coalition forces were temporarily defeated, and they retreated and set up camp thirty miles away.

Not to mention the unprepared defeat this time, some rumors spread uncontrollably among the coalition forces.

"The Zhou army is powerful, not because their generals are brave and good at fighting, knowing people, and being good at leading troops, but because they are uniquely blessed with magic medicine to help them."

"Yes, I heard that after taking the magic medicine, they are not afraid of pain and will not die. No matter how much blood is left, they can be saved."

"With that magical medicine, you watched him fall, and tomorrow he can get back up and come back to cut off your head!"

"Zhou Jun has magic medicine to help, so it doesn't mean he only has one life, but we only have one life, how can we be Zhou Jun's opponent?"

……

The rumors spread more and more.

Within a day, the Chu-Shu coalition forces beheaded more than a hundred deserters, only to slightly restrain the deserters.

Deserters can be killed to deter the army.However, the rumors are unexpectedly difficult to control, and instead spread more and more, and the more they are suppressed, the more uncontrollable they become.

In the Great Zhou barracks.

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded slightly after listening to the lieutenant general's report.

"General, do you want to pass on these rumors?" Ding Mao asked, clasping his hands.

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded, "Yes, tell them not to be afraid, we have a lot of Yangyuan Pills, and when the second batch and the third batch of Yangyuan Pills arrive, everyone can share them!"

Ding Mao frowned slightly, "If the rumor continues, will the coalition forces covet our elixir and plan to snatch it?"

Zhao Yuanzhen glanced at him, "Their generals naturally want to get it, but their soldiers are afraid first."

"Once they are afraid and the morale of the army is unstable, they will be defeated and defeated by our army before they snatch the Yangyuan Pill!" Ding Mao immediately raised his face and said.

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded slightly.

"The general is wise!" Ding Mao bowed his hands and retreated.

Brother Xuan, however, sat still in the tent, "Although your strategy of defeating the enemy is good, but..."

Zhao Yuanzhen looked up at him.

Brother Xuan's face was a little anxious, and the look in his eyes was a little dodgy.

"What do you want to say?"

"You..." Brother Xuan frowned, "How do you know that the second and third batches of medicinal materials are coming? We don't have many Yangyuan Pills in our hands. Spreading the news like this is calling us The soldiers have hope in their hearts, but if there is no new medicine after the Yangyuan pill is used up, wouldn't we lose our confidence first?"

Zhao Yuanzhen lowered his eyes to think for a moment, then raised his head suddenly and said, "Jin'er told me that she will continue to make medicines and send them to the frontier until victory. She didn't say that there are only five thousand pills, and there will be no more in the future?"

Brother Xuan was anxious, "But sister..."

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at him deeply, "Go on?"

"Sister, won't she be tired? She is a woman with a body! As the months get older, her body becomes heavier and heavier. How can she make so many medicines! You are leading the army, aren't you?" My sister is leading the army! You can't always think about relying on your sister's medicine!" Brother Xuan muttered.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at him blankly, "Brother Xuan, you are not telling the truth."

Brother Xuan was startled, "What I'm telling is the truth!"

Zhao Yuanzhen got up suddenly, strode to him, bent over to look at him, "What's wrong with your sister? Is there something wrong with her?"

"No," Brother Xuan shook his head quickly, "If there is something wrong with my sister, why would I leave the capital and come here to fight with you? I must be by her side and guard her!"

"What if you can't stay by her side?" Zhao Yuanzhen said.

Brother Xuan stared at him, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Yuanzhen shook his head slightly, "No, something is wrong."

"General, you can't think too much now. Dealing with the Chu-Shu allied forces is the most important thing now. My sister is in the capital, with the Holy One, and the cousin of Ji's family to protect her, and Ruan Qing, who you left behind, is watching. She's fine." Brother Xuan said anxiously.

Zhao Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Yeah, Ruan Qing is by her side, why hasn't she sent me any news from her for so long?"

Brother Xuan can't wait to slap himself immediately, it's okay to mention Ruan Qing!
"I wrote a reply to Jin'er, but she hasn't replied yet. Ruan Qing's message has never been delivered. If something happened, it would definitely not be like this." Zhao Yuanzhen turned his gaze to Brother Xuan's face again.

Brother Xuan shook his head again and again, but his face turned slightly pale, "No, it's really all right, it's because you think too much, you think too much!"

Zhao Yuanzhen's face was expressionless, but his eyes were obviously cold, "If something happened to your sister, but you didn't tell me, would you be worthy of her?"

Brother Xuan lowered his head, took a deep breath, and straightened his neck and said, "My sister is fine, but you always curse her for accidents! You...are you worthy of her?"

Zhao Yuanzhen pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Brother Xuan gasped slightly, using his anger to disguise his guilt.

"I see, you go back and rest." Zhao Yuanzhen said suddenly.

Seeing that he was not pressing questions, Brother Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "You, what do you know?"

"I know, she's fine." Zhao Yuanzhen looked at Brother Xuan and said, "Isn't it?"

"Yes, yes!" Brother Xuan nodded repeatedly, and escaped from Zhao Yuanzhen's tent as if fleeing.

Zhao Yuanzhen's face became more and more cold, "Come here, order Liang Yue to come and see me."

When Liang Yue came to Zhao Yuanzhen's camp, she secretly looked at his expression, and then quickly lowered her eyes.

"Tell me, what happened in Beijing, and why the second batch of Yangyuan Pills haven't arrived yet?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked.

Liang Yue was slightly taken aback, "The second batch?"

"The princess once wrote to me, telling me that after the first batch of more than [-] Yangyuan pills, another [-] yuan will be sent to ensure that there are enough Yangyuan pills in the camp to save more wounded. "Zhao Yuanzhen snorted softly, "According to the time, the second batch should have been delivered long ago, why the delay and no news yet?"

Liang Yue frowned, "Back to the general, I don't know about the humble position. The humble position is only responsible for escorting the first batch of Yangyuan Pills with Uncle Zhao Lian. As for the second batch, the humble position has never heard of it."

"Really? You don't know? Brother Xuan is the one who cares about his sister the most. The process of making Yangyuan Pill requires the help of Brother Xuan. Instead of staying in Beijing to help the princess, he stayed on the frontier battlefield. What's more, during the rush At that time, with a reckless posture... Could it be that the princess had some accident?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked.

Liang Yue quickly turned over and fell to her knees, "I don't know the humble job, when the humble job left Beijing..."

"When you left Beijing, was the princess well?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked.

Liang Yue nodded again and again, "Yes, the princess is well."

"Presumptuous! In the barracks, how dare you deceive the chief general! What should you do?!" Zhao Yuanzhen sternly said.

Liang Yue frowned.

"If you don't tell the truth, you will be responsible for the military situation, the victory and defeat, the lives of tens of millions of people, and the survival of the Great Zhou?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked in a deep voice.

Liang Yue frowned and looked at her toes.

"Why didn't you say it? If there was something wrong with her, why did she hide it from me?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked, "Is it because I'm afraid that I will be impulsive and lose my mind? Can't you lead the troops calmly?"

Liang Yue didn't make a sound.

"But if I have already seen the clues, and I keep guessing in my heart, I don't know what is going on with her now, wouldn't I be more worried? Wouldn't I be more distracted? In this way, I can lead the army calmly?" Zhao Yuanzhen took a deep breath, slowly Said, "Now I don't know the situation, what I want to do most is to rush back to Beijing immediately, so that I can personally confirm whether she is safe or not."

Liang Yue clenched her fists, and her tense and tense expression seemed to indicate his inner conflicts and struggles and difficult choices.

"In other words, do you think it's better for you to know the news now, or to be kept in the dark?" After Zhao Yuanzhen finished speaking, he closed his mouth, looked straight at Liang Yue, and stopped talking.

"The princess was kidnapped." Liang Yue suddenly raised her head, frowning and looking deeply at Zhao Yuanzhen.

Originally looking directly and disrespectfully, he stared at Zhao Yuanzhen, his eyes fixed for a moment.

Zhao Yuanzhen's heart froze, but no change could be seen on his expressionless face.

"Abducted by whom?"

Liang Yue could hear his voice trembling slightly, but it was still calm.

"The Holy Majesty judged with Ji Xiang, it is very likely... Ma Wenzhao." Liang Yue said, "General, don't blame Zhao Lianbo, the Holy Majesty forced him to swear that he would not reveal this matter to the General, lest the General be eager to save people, act rashly, and do bad things. The major events on the frontier have been disrupted, and Da Zhou has been pushed into a situation where there will be no redemption.”

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded stiffly, "Ma, Wen, Zhao!"

"General..." Liang Yue even felt a little regretful.

Although Zhao Yuanzhen's face remained calm, he could clearly hear the gnashing of teeth in his voice, almost crazy.

Princess Changming is the person Ding Guogong cares about the most and the most difficult to part with.For the sake of Princess Changming, he even gave up everything and fought against his uncle.He could even personally drag his uncle off the throne.

What's more, Princess Changming is not alone now, and she is pregnant with his child, which is his bloodline!

What kind of experience is it to know that your beloved woman and unborn son are in the hands of the enemy?
Liang Yue shuddered, regretting that she was impulsive.

The secret that Brother Xuan could keep was leaked by him!He was so careless that he was bewitched by Duke Ding!

"Come on, pass on Ding Mao quickly!" Zhao Yuanzhen shouted.

Liang Yue, who was regretting, was taken aback.

"General?" Liang Yue stared at him.

"Don't tell me about this earlier! You almost ruined the big deal!" Zhao Yuanzhen scolded coldly.

Liang Yue hadn't realized what had happened to her when she saw Ding Mao running back in a hurry.

"Did you tell others about the news I ordered you to spread?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked.

Ding Mao was slightly taken aback, "The last general has ordered someone to pass it on secretly!"

"Does anyone know?" Zhao Yuanzhen's face moved slightly, although his brows could not be knit together, it was not difficult to hear the anxiety in his tone.

"I have told several lieutenants and several counselors, and they have all passed it on..." Before Ding Mao could speak, he felt the coldness in the camp.

"Catch it back and call the lieutenants and counselors who got the news first to my camp. The news can't be spread anymore. Go!" Zhao Yuanzhen said.

Ding Mao was startled by his momentum, and trotted out of the tent, the bun on his head was almost broken by the curtain of the tent, but he didn't bother to help him.
