Prime Minister, please pick me up

Chapter 394 Leaked News
Two days later, in the afternoon.

Soldiers approach the city.

The dark clouds in the sky are layer upon layer, and they seem to be falling deeply.

On the battlefield, the strong smell of blood permeated faintly, with an indescribable crampedness, almost suffocating.

Between swords, swords and halberds colliding, people kept breaking, and warm blood poured out from the corpses that had just fallen, and it was a desperate red in the eyes.

Corpses were everywhere, blood flowed into a sea, and the thick breath lingered endlessly.

Shui Han is dressed in plain brocade clothes with many bloodstains, like red plum blossoms in the white snow of the mountain stream, tall and tall, holding a silver sword, giving people a thrilling beauty in this bloody red and gloomy battlefield.

Even that warm and fair face was splattered with blood, the blue shadows under the eyes, the tiredness in the eyes, and the ferocity in the expression, all of which could not be concealed.

Not far away, was Jing Xingzhi in a fiery red war robe, his movements were extremely sharp, ruthless and merciless, and the cold sword in his hand was dead on the sight of blood.

The fiery red accident was like a fluttering butterfly in the air, while the figure wandered back and forth on the battlefield, and inadvertently took the enemy's life.

After Shui Han dealt with the people beside him, he came to Jing Xingzhi's side, leaning back to back with him, his movements never stopped, "Xing Zhi, we won't last long if this goes on!"

Jing Xingzhi's face was not very good-looking, and with a sharp movement of his hands, the extreme soldier who was holding a spear and wanted to go forward fell to the ground instantly.

"Withdraw!" Jing Xingzhi led troops to fight, and he was always able to stretch and bend, but it was just a temporary withdrawal.

Taking a deep look at Murong Xuan who was standing on the city wall with a smile on his face, Jing Xingzhi's expression was a little gloomy and terrifying.

An hour later.

Jing Xingzhi and the others found a place to hide temporarily.

The army of 50 at that time, after a day of hard fighting, only 20 remained.

Jing Xingzhi was sitting on a haystack outside the garrison, his face was as pale as snow, his expression was gloomy and indifferent, even his unrestrained eyes were shining with a bit of sinister light.

Not long after, Shui Han walked over from a distance.

Hearing footsteps, he knew who it was without turning his head to look at Jing Xingzhi, and said without raising his head, "Your wounds have been bandaged?" Probably after a day of fighting, Jing Xingzhi's voice was a little hoarse, It's like the kind of rough sand that has been honed, but it's not hard to hear the care in it.

Shui Han was still wearing the blood-stained brocade clothes on the battlefield, and he didn't have the time or the mood to change them, so he walked slowly to Jing Xingzhi's side, and sat down directly beside him, "My injury is not serious. hinder!"

"What do you think of this incident?" Jing Xingzhi raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his voice was so flamboyant that it had never been depressed before.

Hearing this, Shui Han's eyes paused for a moment, and then shook his head, "There is too little information, so it's hard to judge!" Of course, this is a relatively conservative statement. After all, in this situation, Murong Xuan obviously already knew about them. Plan, understand their deployment, and even don't know when troops will be dispatched from the dark to besiege them here.

But, after all, it's just these things, it's not enough to say someone betrayed, maybe it's just a coincidence!
But, is it really a coincidence? !

Shuihan is skeptical about this!

Jing Xingzhi didn't speak, but his eyes were still a little deep.This is not the first time he has led the army to fight, and he has experienced failure before, but this is the first time that all his intentions have been seen through and suppressed!
For that Murong Xuan, he has never paid attention to him. Compared with Mo Ran's Ziyuehen, Yan Luo, Lan Yu and others, Murong Xuan is really far behind by more than 01:30, but, it is such a him Someone who didn't pay much attention to him actually made him stumble!
What's more, Prince Shu, who was Moran back then, died at his hands.

Where Shui Han couldn't see, Jing Xingzhi narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Can I still get in touch with Lan Yu now?" After a long silence, Jing Xingzhi asked in a calm voice.The battle situation here doesn't mean that the news was leaked, after all, it might just be a coincidence, but if there was an attack on Lan Yu's place, then there must be someone here who passed the news to Murong Xuan.

If two coincidences coincide with one, then it is definitely not a coincidence, but deliberate!

"The news has been sent out just now, and we should be able to get the news soon." After a pause, Shui Han slowly frowned, brows together, "Just stop, our current situation is not very good." All they have left now is 20, the number of enemy troops is unknown for the time being, but it will definitely not be less than 60, which is more than three times their number.

The most important thing is that they have just experienced a defeat, their morale is low, and now they are almost trapped here. The situation is quite unfavorable for them.

Jing Xingzhi naturally understood this, and his delicate face became a little darker, and he didn't speak.

"Take a full night's rest first, and send someone to keep an eye on the surrounding environment, in case of a night attack!" Finally, Jing Xingzhi ordered in a slightly lower voice.

Shui Han nodded, "Until I get the news from Lan Yu, that's all I can do!" After all, if it is confirmed that someone leaked the news, it proves that they or Lan Yu have spies, which means that all The deployment has changed.

"You are in charge of everything here tonight." Looking at Shuihan, Jing Xingzhi's beautiful eyes were deep and serious, and he said slowly.

Shui Han frowned instantly and looked at him, "What are you going to do? You're not going to find a place with Murong Xuan, are you?" Although he didn't have many encounters with the deposed prince before, the rumors about him are true after all. Knowing a little, the other party is not a master who will suffer.

It was rare for Jing Xingzhi to twitch the corners of his lips in such a dull atmosphere, "Master Shui, can you stop thinking so seriously, even if I want to find a place, it won't be good at this time?!" I can't keep it anymore, so what else can I find.

"Then what are you going to do?" Shui Han still looked suspicious, the dried blood stains on his face made his face even fairer.

Jing Xingzhi looked a little helpless.In the past, he tried to find his place everywhere just to perform in front of Qingchen.

"I'll check the surrounding terrain to see if there is any place to break through." Jing Xingzhi said slowly.Murong Xuan wasn't that stupid after all, when they left, it was impossible for the other side not to send troops to surround them.

Shui Han was silent for a while, the disapproval in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he nodded, "That's all right, all right, be careful, if something happens to you, I can't explain it to Xingyue!" After all, Jing Xingyue still cares about Jing Xingzhi, brother Wang.

However, Jing Xingzhi must be in a heavy mood right now, and asking him to check out the terrain for a walk can just calm him down.

As the general, at this time, the most important thing is to be calm, so as not to make wrong judgments!
"En." Jing Xingzhi nodded.

He went back and picked two personal guards, and then left directly.

At this time, another place.

The situation at Lan Yu's place is completely different from that at Jing Xingzhi's.

He didn't have any unplanned things happened here, and in addition, Lan Yu was originally a prodigy in using soldiers. The battlefield was basically his territory. Wherever he went, he was invincible and powerful. city.

The night had already darkened a little, Lan Yu stood outside and looked at the sky, her fair, immature and ruthless complexion darkened slightly, there was an indescribable resistance in the depths of her eyes.

In fact, he didn't like fighting.

Just when he was about to order someone to send a letter to Jing Xingzhi to ask for news from Jing Xingzhi, his subordinates walked up to him holding a pigeon that was so black that there was no trace of variegation.

"General, this is a letter from King Jin of Yuchu."

Lan Yu took it off the wooden whistle tied to the pigeon's feet, took out the note and spread it out for a look, her pretty face instantly became a little dignified.

Gu Zhunhuai was originally sitting on the railing of the gazebo not far away. When he saw someone taking a carrier pigeon, he knew that there was news. Because of his grandfather, the friendship between him and Lan Yu was not bad. It was to let him study hard by Lan Yu's side. After all, the Gu family was born as a general, so he, the grandson, can't be too bad, right?
Before he walked in front of Lan Yu, he saw that the other party's complexion became extremely ugly, so he couldn't help frowning and quickened his pace.This guy Lan Yu usually doesn't have much expression other than indifference, what kind of news can make his face so ugly now.

"Lan Yu, what happened?" Gu Zhunhuai's voice was anxious and worried.

Lan Yu was silent for a long while before she spoke in a very low tone, "Jing Xingzhi and the others were attacked, only 50 of the 20 troops remained, and Murong Xuan had more than 60 troops. There is a huge gap between the enemy and us. They are now trapped and unable to break through for the time being. "

Gu Zhunhuai's expression also changed in an instant, "How could it be? Our plan is so meticulous!" They didn't think about any problems and troubles at all because everything went smoothly here. After all, If the other party gets the news in advance, it should be the two parties who want to target it, instead of just choosing Jing Xingzhi.

Lan Yu didn't speak, she pursed her thin lips and remained silent for a long time.

Facing the hidden guard beside him, he said, "Send a letter to Jing Xingzhi, tell them the situation here, tell them, we will go to help immediately."

As soon as this remark came out, not only the dark guards, but even Gu Zhunhuai's face changed, and he said with a deep expression, "Lan Yu, it's almost time now, even if you have a dog that can travel thousands of miles a day It takes more than half a day for the carrier pigeons to fly from Jing Xingzhi to here, even if we abandon the city here, if we go back, the distant water will not be able to save the nearby fire!" It will take at least three days for them to rush over.

An army of 20 faced an enemy army of more than 60, three times the number, no matter how smart Jing Xingzhi is and good at strategy, this kind of crushing in numbers, Jing Xingzhi's side has just experienced a defeat, and cannot sustain it at all to three days!
Let alone three days, two days are extremely difficult.

Three days, impossible.

Lan Yu's complexion darkened again, and she was silent for a while, "If you only send cavalry, how long will it take to arrive?"

"A day and a half." Gu Zhunhuai looked at Lan Yu steadfastly, and then said in a slightly lower voice, "But Yanluo, you should know that our cavalry is only [-], even if we send all of them, it will take two nights and one night. , even if they arrive, they must be exhausted to the extreme, and, in terms of numbers alone, it is far from enough."

Lan Yu's eyes were also getting darker, and her immature face was old-fashioned, and even vaguely hostile and shy.It would be even more unrealistic to send people from Cangzhou City, because it would be a four-day journey at least, and when they arrived, Jing Xingzhi and the others estimated that all the bones had been eaten by wolves.

"There is only one way." Gu Zhunhuai narrowed his eyes and said to Lan Yu.

"any solution?"

"Abandon the car and save the handsome man." Gu Zhunhuai spoke slowly in a very slow tone.

Lan Yu's eyes sank again, and his face was extremely ugly, "You mean to abandon 20 troops to protect Jing Xingzhi?" Even his voice was lower than ever before, even a bit blunt and indifferent.

"Yes." Gu Zhunhuai replied without hesitation.After all, a person like Jing Xingzhi is extremely rare in the world.

Lan Yu slowly closed her eyes, opened them suddenly after a while, and shook her head at Gu Zhunhuai, "Jing Xingzhi would not agree." If it were him, he would not agree, let alone Jing Xingzhi He is still a member of the Yuchu royal family, and he will not do such a thing that chills the hearts of all soldiers.

As a general, he didn't take the lead in the battle and fought to the end. Instead, he used the lives of 20 soldiers to protect himself. If he did this, who would work for Jing Shi in the future.

This is an existence that shakes the foundation of the country, and Jing Xingzhi will never allow such a thing to happen.

Gu Zhunhuai spread his hands with some difficulty, "Then we have nothing to do." After all, if there is no other way, he would not say to use 20 troops to protect Jing Xingzhi alone.

"In any case, Jing Xingzhi is our ally, so we can't just let him have an accident." After being silent for a while, Lan Yu breathed out

Then he said to the people beside him: "Tell Jing Xingzhi what I just said, and also send a letter to Xihaiguan and Cangzhou to tell Jing Xingzhi's current situation, and see if they have other ways to distract Murongxuan and others. and troops."

"Yes." After the man took the order, he quietly retreated.

Only then did Lan Yu look at Gu Zhunhuai, and said in a majestic voice, "The sudden extra army in Murong Xuan's hands must have been dispatched from the Shuyue Imperial City, so the Imperial City is empty, and the Imperial City is not far from here. It's far away, I'll lead [-] cavalry to help Lan Yu, and you lead the rest of the soldiers to directly attack the imperial city."

Looking at the man in front of him who didn't look like a boy at all, Gu Zhunhuai felt a little admiration in his heart. Grandpa really has a vicious eye on people. At least he is ashamed of Lan Yu's calm and calm heart, let alone his skillful use of soldiers on the battlefield like a god.

Nodded, "Okay."

"If you can't take Xia Yuehuang City in a short time, you should cut off the contact with Murong Xuan first, and then send a letter to Murong Xuan yourself." Lan Yu warned.

Gu Zhunhuai was also smart, knowing that this was done to distract Murong Xuan's attention, and even besieged Wei to save Zhao and asked Murong Xuan to lead the troops back to the imperial city.

"How long does a short time mean?" After thinking about it, Gu Zhunhuai still asked.

"Half a day, plus one night." Lan Yu said with deep eyebrows.After all, time is still running short.

Gu Zhunhuai was dumbfounded for a moment. In nine hours, it would be very difficult to attack the Yuehuang City below, even if most of the troops were transferred away!
"Forget it, you should directly find a way to cut off their communication with Murong Xuan!" Lan Yu probably felt that such a request for a person who was on the battlefield for the first time was too much, so he compromised the conditions a little.

Gu Zhunhuai nodded, looking at Lan Yu firmly, "I will try my best, if not, I will cut off their news directly."

Not long after, Lan Yu led [-] cavalry and left in the dark.

Yuchu, Yufu.

Jing Xingzhi was on the battlefield, so Yu Qingchen naturally paid close attention to his news. He didn't receive Jing Xingzhi's letter that night as usual, so Yu Qingchen had a vague bad feeling in his heart.

During this period of time, Jing Xingzhi basically sent him a letter every two days, although it was only a few words, and even recorded some insignificant things, but at least let him know that Jing Xingzhi was safe.

However, it is now the third day, and there is still no letter news.

Although she didn't sleep all night because of worry, Yu Qingchen still believed in Jing Xingzhi from the bottom of her heart, and just comforted herself in her heart that she was too busy to forget about it.

I was restless all morning, and I was absent-minded even when dealing with matters above government affairs.

It was also at noon that Yu Qingchen got the news.

Her face, which was already as white as jade, was instantly pale as paper, the hand holding the letter in her hand trembled slightly, and her lips turned pale.

He didn't even have time to tell Jing Xingyue about this, but forced himself to calmly take an army in his hands, as well as the army that Jing Xingzhi had left in his hands, and left the imperial capital directly.
