Frost and snow fall due to wind

Chapter 10

Ye Hanxin was invited to the banquet of the Wolf Fang officer.

Having been in business for several years, he has cultivated a face that is good at smiling but not smiling, and a sharp tongue that Yan Huifeng despises.It didn't take much effort for Ye Hanxin to gain the trust of the Spike officers around him, but he was still under guardianship, and in the name of protecting Mr. Ye, he was actually under house arrest in the camp.Ye Hanxin didn't have any objections either, he indulged in sex all day long, and made up some so-called Cangyun military affairs to listen to, and he actually bluffed many people.

As soon as Ye Hanxin was seated, he was offered a toast by the leader of the Spike officer, Aletu, and hurriedly stood up: "You are welcome, general. It was supposed to be Ye who toasted with the general. This is really inappropriate."

The Spike officer smiled and said: "I know that you are one of the four great families in Hidden Sword Villa. It seems that there is a reason. You people from the Central Plains have a saying that those who know current affairs are heroes."

Ye Hanxin smiled, and toasted instead: "Your Excellency is absurd."

"You scholars know how to be polite. I think Mr. Ye is a man of talent and manners. I like it. If all of you people in the Central Plains are like this, why are you fighting this battle?" Aletu slapped the table, "Look at the Yanmen Pass Those unrepentant Cangyun soldiers still call themselves Xuanjia, fart, they knew what the general trend of the world is like you earlier, obediently switch on and off to welcome them, and guarantee that they will have an official position in the future..."

Ye Hanxin echoed a few words, still smiling, but clenched his fists in his sleeves, feeling that his fingernails were about to bleed on the palm of his hand.

He thought that Yan Huifeng would definitely not listen to these words, what a proud person he was, and what a person who hated the Wolf Fang Army to the bone.Every time he thinks of Yan Huifeng, his heart is cut like a knife.

It's just that Yan Huifeng shouldn't hate him for the rest of his life. A person like him doesn't deserve to be remembered for so long.

"Young Master Ye's complexion is not very good, is it because he is not used to eating? The army is not as refined as your villa."

"No, warriors have their homes all over the world, and the female disciples of Hidden Sword Villa don't go out of their gates, so there's no need to be so particular about it." Ye Han returned to his senses, and poured his own wine again, "I heard people say , General Aletu's attack on Yanmen Pass is inevitable?"

"Of course," Altur laughed loudly, "Young Master Ye doesn't know that the food and grass of the Cangyun Army can last for ten days at most. After a long time, our Spike Army will be destroyed without attack. Their female commander has thought about it several times. Lie us into her city, what a joke, I won't die in vain."

"Ten days, the general intends to stay here all the time?"

"otherwise?"

"In Ye's opinion, it seems unsafe."

Aletu's smile froze, he looked Ye Hanxin up and down vigilantly, and suddenly waved his hand to tell everyone to back off, and then dispersed around him.

Ye Hanxin asked suspiciously: "General?"

"Mr. Ye, what do you mean by this? I, Altu, thought that you had given us many benefits to our army, so I entertained you with such good wine and meat. You came to shake the morale of my Spike Army?"

Ye Hanxin looked terrified, put down his wine glass and cupped his hands: "Ye certainly didn't dare, it's just... During the past few days of inquiring for news for the general, I heard some rumors, and I don't know if I should talk about it or not."

"You go first."

"It's all Ye's humble opinion, I hope the general will not blame him."

Ye Hanxin cleared his throat, and then detailed the terrain of Yanmen Pass that Yan Huifeng told him that day, then frowned and said: "In this way, there must be no way to deploy troops around the canyon, but it is close to the city wall of Yanmen Pass, the canyon Naturally, it is an excellent place to garrison troops. The general's 1-strong army is more than ten miles away from Yanmen Pass. If Cangyun's army secretly sends food and grass into the pass, it will be too late to stop it. It is better to advance first, one is to completely block the supply , The second is to deter them in front of Yanmen Pass. As far as I know, there are less than [-] soldiers defending the city of Cangyun. How can you be the opponent of your [-] elite soldiers. It is safe to cut their food first, and then break their spirit. "

"But if this is the case, aren't we also within the range of their crossbow?"

"The general's words are wrong. Let's not say that the ice and snow on the canyon can't pass through it. All the bows and arrows of the Cangyun Army can only be placed on the city wall. The range is really limited. The Spike Army only needs light armor to go into battle. , and fight while retreating, what are you afraid of when he runs out of bows and arrows in Cangyun Castle?"

Aletu nodded slightly, but he was still vigilant and said: "But this general doesn't know why Mr. Ye is so eager to advise our Spike Army?"

Ye Hanxin sighed and said, "It's freezing cold. If the general doesn't win a big victory, I won't be able to go back to the villa in time for the New Year. The general doesn't know. I have a cousin who is my childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart. I thought I would make a fortune this year." business, let's go..."

"Go to what?"

"Go propose marriage."

Aletu was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Ye is such a person who values ​​love and righteousness. It turns out that it is not for watching the general smash the Yanmen Pass, but for the beauty of your dream?"

"General, don't make fun of me..."

"Then do as Mr. Ye said! Come here! Serve the wine!"

The eighth day of returning to camp, the seventh day of Yan Huifeng's hangover.

He felt a headache, so he touched the bedside, but found no one, and it took him a while to wake up, this time there was no one guarding him by the bedside.He sat up and changed his clothes, and when he heard the sound of a horn outside the door, he couldn't help standing up and looking out.

"Why hasn't the military doctor arrived yet? If you don't come to give the general a hangover, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

"Didn't Master Changsun say that General Yan is not allowed to fight?"

"This battle Yan Shuai has made all the soldiers of Cang Yun not to slack off. He is the new Ranger General. How long has it been since Yan Shuai has been promoted? How many people are watching him? Take a moment..."

Yan Huifeng became more confused the more he listened: "Wait a minute, you, come here."

The gatekeeper didn't notice that Yan Huifeng opened the door, and with a jerk, he thought he had said something wrong: "General Yan."

"What's the matter with the sound of horns outside? Is there going to be a war?"

"Return to General, Yan Shuai is calling people to gather, and the Spike Army is pressing outside the city gate, and the battle will start in about an hour at most."

"When was it decided, why don't I know?"

The two people outside the door looked at each other: "This subordinate thinks that the whole camp of Cang Yun knows about this matter."

Yan Huifeng wanted to ask more questions, so someone reported that Miss Pei from Wanhua Valley had come to bring sober medicine to the general.Pei Qingchen hurried over with the medicine box in his arms, but before entering the room, he could smell the smell of alcohol.

"I said, why do you need someone to deliver the hangover medicine?" Pei Qingchen put down the medicine box, instead of rushing to get the medicine, he went to open the window first, "You don't feel too bored."

Yan Huifeng hadn't realized what happened, and had a bad intuition, so he didn't touch Pei Qingchen's medicine box: "Does Miss Pei know what's going on outside?"

"There's going to be a war."

"Why have I never heard of it, and no one has informed me?"

Pei Qingchen glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Because this matter was decided before you went to Hangzhou."

"……what?"

"That is to say, I kept it from you from the beginning. I was supposed to tell you about the battle arrangement on the day you returned to the camp, but you chatted with the Holy Envoy of Mingjiao for a long time, and after that, you were hungover every day. There was no chance to tell you," Pei Qingchen opened the medicine box and took out the medicine, "Hurry up to hangover and change your armor to go to battle, don't you want to kill Ye Hanxin?"

Yan Huifeng was startled when he heard the word "Ye Hanxin": "He? He came here?"

"Standing on the wolf tooth chariot under the city, if you don't go, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to flog the corpse."

Pei Qingchen's tone was terribly calm, and Yan Huifeng finally sensed that something was wrong—the battle he had decided before he went to Hangzhou, Ye Hanxin's hospitality when they met for the first time, the sudden appearance of Spike scouts, the mighty but steady journey of soldiers Team A, everything is unreasonable.He always felt that something was hidden from him, but everyone else knew about it.

Yan Huifeng held the medicine bottle still: "Miss Pei, is Ye Hanxin hiding something from me?"

"Yes."

"you know?"

"I know."

"Can you tell me?"

"So what if you know?"

"It can't be done."

Pei Qingchen was speechless for a moment.

"But it doesn't feel good to be hidden."

"I think you'll feel worse if I tell you."

"Tell me," Yan Huifeng sat down expressionlessly, "I hear it."

Pei Qingchen took a deep breath: "Don't regret it after listening to it. The matter has come to this point, and the water will never be undone."

It turned out that the Cangyun Bingjia had been fully prepared long before Yan Huifeng left the camp, and Lu Guan's delivery of food and grass was just a cover, but secretly gathered hundreds of barrels of kerosene produced by the Everburning Pool in the Desert through the Tibetan Sword Villa. In the Hebei Road Warehouse, the bargaining with Yan Shuai was a show for others to watch, in order to delay time, and now hundreds of barrels of kerosene have been buried on both sides of Yanmenguan Canyon, connected by wires, in order to put the wolf teeth The army was completely wiped out here.Yan Huifeng went to the Tibetan Sword Villa to get the armor, but he only deliberately attracted the attention of the Spike Army. The assassins along the way were beheaded by the Tibetan Sword disciples arranged by Ye Hanxin to damage the strength of the Spike Army, so they were able to travel smoothly.Originally in the plan, Ye Hanxin was supposed to lead people around Daizhou City and send the soldiers to Yanmen Pass. Tiance secret agents lurking in the Langya Battalion went to inform the generals of the Langya Army to kidnap Ye Hanxin. Deciding to enter the city almost ruined the matter directly.

And Ye Hanxin went with the Wolf Fang officer with the determination that there would be no return. He was the victim of this grand plan from the very beginning.

"He didn't let me say it because he was afraid that you would be impulsive. You must know that Yan Shuai's original intention was to wipe out the rebels outside the customs. You can't be careless at all. It should not be Yan Shuai's suggestion that Mr. Ye should be in the house. He volunteered," Pei Qingchen said in the letter. Take it back from Yan Huifeng and throw it into the fire, "As for him going to Daizhou, he probably regretted it after being with you and wanted to stay in Daizhou City first before making any plans. His only turning point is gone."

"..."

"You reacted so strongly, did you really move your heart?"

Yan Huifeng said nothing, got up and left.Pei Qingchen asked him where he was going, but he said without looking back, "Please fight."

"What if he ruins his plan after seeing you?"

"He's not that kind of person." Yan Huifeng picked up the long knife by the wall, "Even if he really repents before the battle, even if he dies, he will die in my hands."

Pei Qingchen couldn't stop him, and he didn't want to stop him. After all, he chose the path he chose, and he was not an ignorant child. He should be responsible for his impulse.

——If, if he is really sincere.

In front of the gate tower of Yanmen Pass, the army of [-] Spikes is already in the formation, and the wind and snow are screaming, and the group is chilling.The leading officer, Aletu, stood on the highest chariot platform in the middle, and beside him was Ye Hanxin, who was dressed in light yellow brocade.The eldest grandson Wangqing was sitting on the top of the city tower. Seeing this, he got up with a knife.

"Is Ye Hanxin Ye Gongzi under the city?"

"Shuai Yan," Ye Hanxin cupped his hands, "Aren't you here all right?"

"This commander is thinking about Ye Gongzi day and night, so naturally he can't be called safe."

"That Ye is really guilty, I wonder what Yan Shuai is thinking about?"

The eldest grandson Wangqing sneered: "Of course you, Mr. Ye, have spoken so many good things about our Cangyun Army to that Spike traitor."

"Yan Shuai is wrong. Ye has been in business with Cang Yunjun for many years, how can there be..."

He paused halfway through the speech, he saw a familiar figure on the tower, and took a closer look, whether it was Yan Huifeng or someone else.Someone whispered in Changsun Wangqing's ear that Yan Huifeng, the new Ranger General, asked for a fight. Changsun Wangqing frowned, waved and said, "If he wants to fight, he will fight."

Aletu didn't know what happened, but he finally found a chance to interrupt the pretended greetings of the two: "I've heard for a long time that Cang Yun is the commander, why are you still staying in the pass as usual?"

"If handsome Ben still doesn't want to come out."

"Then you, Cangyun Army, don't need to be called Xuanjia Elite Soldiers, it's winter anyway, how about being a turtle?"

The surrounding spiked sergeants all burst into laughter.He thought that this time he would stimulate his grandson Wangqing to send troops.The rocks on both sides in front of Yanmen Pass are so steep that it is difficult for people to stand on it, not to mention the soldiers.The snow fell too early this year, and the snow and ice on the top of the mountain was so thick that it was impossible to form a formation.Changsun Wangqing didn't send troops, so he didn't move either. After all, when Cangyun's military pay was exhausted, his army of Spikes had plenty of supplies, and it was up to who could consume more.

"It's not that I don't want to fight this battle with you," the eldest grandson Wangqing said loudly, "Young Master Ye next to you is a nobleman of my Cangyun Castle. If you send Young Master Ye over, I have an explanation for Hidden Sword Villa." , so I ordered troops to compete with Your Excellency, how about it?"

"Yan Shuai is just joking. Mr. Ye is a nobleman of our Spike Army. What is the rule for a nobleman of our army to entrust you to the Cangyun Army?"

The eldest grandson Wangqing said: "You noble man with wolf teeth and rebels is naturally the enemy of my Cangyun army, Mr. Ye, I miss you and Cangyun Fort for several years, if you can repent, I will be in Yezhuang in the future." Where can the Lord consider interceding for you, if you insist on being a sinner of this Tang Dynasty..."

Ye Han said in his heart: "Shuai Yan's words are too much, Ye Mou just turned his back on the dark and turned to the bright, how can it be called a crime..."

The grandson Wangqing raised his hand: "Fire the arrow!"

The Wolf Fang army immediately retreated out of range and raised their shields to block the rain of arrows. Ye Hanxin's chariot was too heavy and retreated slowly. Aletu was about to pull Ye Hanxin down to protect him, but suddenly heard a commotion behind him.

"General Altu! The canyon is blocked! We can't get out!"

Aletu didn't notice the rustling sound on the peaks on both sides, let alone the entrance to the canyon behind him was blocked, and the mechanism was silent.Ye Hanxin suddenly grabbed a scimitar and stabbed at him. Aletu couldn't dodge in time and was stabbed in the shoulder. He realized that Ye Hanxin had deliberately lured them in. He became furious and fought with Ye Hanxin reluctantly. He didn't have an epee on his body, and he had to dodge the rain of arrows behind him, but he couldn't defeat the front and rear flank attacks. The moment he stabbed Aletu's neck, Ye Hanxin just soared into the air, but the rain of arrows didn't stop.

He turned his head, Yan Huifeng was standing at the front of the tower, just put down his longbow.

"General, we..."

"Shuai Yan didn't say stop," Yan Huifeng said with reddened eyes, "keep shooting arrows until the brothers light the kerosene."

Before Ye Hanxin closed his eyes, he was still thinking that if he didn't die this time, he would be smashed to death by Yan Huifeng's shield when he returned.

I agreed to ride the horse with you, but the horse died.He said that he wanted to drink together like his junior sister and Pei Qingchen did, and the tree was burned.I haven't had time to be turned into a red wave with you, and I haven't had a chance to see you again even after I close the curtain.I owe you too much, and I won't be able to pay it back in several lifetimes.

I lied to you, but you never lied to me.The snow at Yanmen Pass is really sweet.
