Drawing Crescent Eyebrows: Alluring Zinnia with a Smile

Chapter 252

After a night of rest and recuperation, at five o'clock, it was still dark, and the whole army began to break out of camp again.

On this journey from Shengjing to Chang'an, Qingyou seems to have seen the longest night in this life, and also seen that moment again and again, from the extremely black and extremely dark night to the coldness of the white belly.

Originally walking this way, although it was hard work, it was considered safe, Ye Xu thought in his heart, if this continues, he should be able to reach Chang'an before the Ci'an Army, but he didn't want the brigade to arrive at Tongguan, but a message came. An uneasy hostility.

"You two lords, the military situation just came from the front, saying that there are enemy reinforcements in Yili, and the army has arrived in Hanzhong, not far from Chang'an City. Our spies have roughly estimated that there are about 3 thousand horses. The brigade keeps coming, and I'm afraid there will be a steady stream of reinforcements coming." In the Tongguan commander's camp, the city guard general Shi Congxi reported to Ye Xu and Ye Feng with the military information from the front.

Ye Feng asked in a cold voice: "How about the strength of the troops? Can you tell what the number is?"

Hearing his question, Ye Xu knew that he was still worried about Mu Cha, and heard General Shi reply: "Return to the two princes, and the spies reported that the enemy troops are all well-trained, flying the flag with the word 'Teng', Just looking at his marching strategy, it is not like the Yuezhao Army and Wude Army that he encountered in the past. gone."

This Shi Congxi has been the guard of Tongguan for many years, and he is about the same age as Bu Tianchou. He has always been trusted by Ye Feng, and he has military experience. It's just that I don't say which army is the one who came.Ye Xu took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Chang'an City is really a great fortune, and it also lives up to the old capital of the ancient capital."

Seeing this, Ye Feng felt certain in his heart, and after Ye Xu finished speaking, he said coldly, "Ci'an Army..."

Seeing this, Shi Congxi secretly guessed that the two princes in front of him must have understood these things long ago, and because Ye Xu was young and famous all over the world, now he is indeed a dragon and phoenix when he sees it, so the heavy burden of worrying about Chang'an in his heart is also gone. He relaxed for a while, and then asked: "Since the two generals know that the comer is from the Ci'an Army, what are their plans?"

Hearing his words, he has changed 'Prince' to 'General', and they also understand that the time for exchanging pleasantries is long past.Because of the suddenness of the battle, the preparations for the previous events were always for the affairs in Chang'an City, but it was too late to take care of the defenses in the surrounding cities, so Ye Xu asked him: "General Shi, how many soldiers are here? Suddenly, we were too late for these preparations."

Shi Congxi also expected this, and was ready to report, "Yes, because the terrain of Tongguan is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, there are only [-] defenders here all the year round. Because the battles ahead are expensive and fast, it is too late to report. , my subordinates have dispatched three thousand soldiers to the Weicheng of Chang'an, and the rest of the generals will follow the instructions of the two generals."

Ye Feng said: "Very well. Although Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we can't reach here for a while, but we have to prepare for the back road. The remaining [-] soldiers will stay here and take care of food and grass."

Shi Congxi heard this, and responded, "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

Ye Xu thought for a while, and then said: "I don't know when this battle will be fought. The matter of food and grass is the most important thing. Now this matter is fully in the hands of the general. It is necessary to keep the food and grass for the soldiers in front. At the same time, don't make things difficult. the people."

"Don't worry, the two generals, the subordinates have made arrangements. The road to the east is very smooth. There is a limit to the amount of food collected in various places, and there will be no complaints." The most important thing is to care about living and working in peace and contentment below. These things have already been planned.

"Well, that's very good." Ye Xu nodded, and summoned the sentry outside, "Send the order, the brigade will set off in a quarter of an hour, no delay."

The sentinel got the order and ran forward to pass the order.

Shi Congxi also thought that there were soldiers in front of him who reported that the princess was accompanying him, so he asked one more question, "Forgive me for talking too much, I heard that the two princes are also accompanied by two princesses when they go out on this expedition. The meaning of the prince, but let the princess go to the front line?"

The two of them looked at each other, Ye Xu said: "It's not bad, the two concubines are also going to the front line."

Shi Congxi feared that the presence of the princess on the battlefield would distract the two of them, so he remonstrated: "This is a family affair of the two princes. As a subject, I shouldn't talk too much. It's just that swords have no eyes on the battlefield. I am afraid that the two princes will not be able to take care of them. The princesses are rich and expensive. If one or two are injured, it is definitely not good. This Tongguan seems to be safe now. Although the post station is not comparable to the palace, it is not It is considered stable, and it is much better than the environment of the military camp. If the two princes can rest assured that their subordinates, why not..."

Before Shi Congxi finished speaking, Ye Feng interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "No need, since you are with the army, you are destined to have a bad life, and you are here to enjoy yourself!"

Shi Congxi has known him for many years, but he has never seen him so abrupt. For a moment, his words got stuck, and he didn't say it, and he didn't say it.

Ye Xu looked at it, knowing that General Shi was afraid that the concubine would make them miss their business, but also knowing that Ye Feng's behavior like this really vented his anger with Suxue and let General Shi take the burden. So even Yuan said: "General, don't worry, the reason for the concubines to join the army this time is for them to understand Xiqi, and it will be beneficial to the war. The general's kindness and our brothers can only respect it."

Shi Congxi had never thought that a person like Ye Xu would have such a magnanimity, he was shocked for a moment, and quickly stepped back on his legs and bowed: "Don't dare, the prince is serious." He paused After a pause, he said again: "The two generals can rest assured that the subordinates are always waiting for orders."
