Riding the Pheonix Chapter 418: Familiar

It cleared up on the second day, and Mingwei and Ning Xiu went out to observe the mountains again.

In this place, you can already faintly see the gravel slope.

They calculated a route and came back: "This road should be passable, but there may be hidden dangers if we march."

Zong Xu asked: "Where are the hidden dangers?"

"The surrounding terrain is unstable and the snow is thick, making it easy for another collapse to occur. Once it does happen, we are likely to be cut off from our retreat."

The gravel **** has been lost. If the reinforcements are cut off again, they will be trapped in a situation where they can only advance but not retreat.

Zong Xu thought for a long time and finally said: "If I don't go to the gravel **** now, I'm afraid I will miss the opportunity."

Yang Shu expressed his understanding: "My people don't matter, you decide what to do."

Zong Xu nodded and handed over to Ning Xiu and Mingwei: "You two, thank you for your work."

The safest way is to return along the path they found. Anyway, the gravel **** has been lost, and the road is blocked by ice and snow. Let the barbarians occupy it for the whole winter, and it will not affect the overall situation. And if he goes back, as long as he suppresses all the Xirong tribes, the northwest border will still be impregnable.

However, Zong Xu was always thinking about sending troops to the grassland.

It is impossible to expect the emperor to give orders. He knew this person's temperament well. He looked kind, but was actually timid. He was afraid that during his reign, he would leave behind something that would be criticized. Therefore, he devoted all his efforts to benevolent government and worked **** civil affairs. However, in terms of military affairs, he did not seek merit but sought no faults.

There's nothing wrong with that. An emperor who knows himself is much better than an emperor who has no idea and spends money indiscriminately.

But Zongxu is a famous general of his generation, so it is inevitable that he will feel regretful.

Obviously there is such a good opportunity. If we take advantage of the chaos in Beihu and send troops northward, we may be able to bring the grassland into the territory in one fell swoop.

Opening up new territories is the greatest achievement of a general, and it will surely go down in the annals of history and shine through the ages.

So, as soon as he heard that the Hu people were knocking on the pass, he wondered if he could take this opportunity to send troops to the grassland.

The rebellion of the Xirong tribes seems to be under great pressure now, but the foundation of the Northwest Army is there, and talented generals are emerging one after another. Even if he is not there to take charge, nothing big will happen.

It would be a real pity if we lose this opportunity to send troops to the grassland.

Yang Shu knew Zong Rui's thoughts very well, so he mentioned a few words to Mingwei privately, and said: "It's a good thing that the Zong family has such blood and spirit for three generations. It's a pity..."

Mingwei comforted him: "At least it's better than the history I've experienced, right? Let's not be in a hurry and take our time."

"Yes." Yang Shu wrapped her cloak tighter, "Don't freeze. If it's cold, let senior brother go alone."

Ming Wei said: "If you let Mr. know like this, you will get angry again."

Yang Shu said confidently: "He is a grown man, what does it mean to suffer a little?"

Ming Wei smiled.

As expected, those who are favored are confident.

After spending a day reorganizing, Zong Xu led the remaining sergeants and set off.

Thousands of people and horses were spread out, and the horses' mouths were covered with hoods. They did not dare to make a sound and marched cautiously in the snow.

Since they chose to go to the gravel slope, they must gain something from this trip.

After all, the road was blocked and the logistics route was cut off. The marching rations they brought could not last long.

Ming Wei and Ning Xiu broke away from the team from time to time to observe the terrain. If they were negligent, thousands of lives could have been lost.

When the Qi army was marching hard in the snow, three people stood on an inconspicuous hilltop.

If Mingwei were here, he would be able to recognize who these three people are at a glance.

The new Hu Lord Su Tu, Princess Yongqing, and the old **** named Zhong Ji.

"Your calculation is indeed accurate. Zong Xu chose to continue to the gravel **** without turning around." Princess Yongqing was wrapped in thick fur and looked at the moving figure in the distance.

In just half a year, Su Tu's appearance was completely different from before.

He was wearing a simple but expensive leather jacket, with a huge gem set on his hat. His originally delicate face was a bit colder. When he stood with a knife in his hand, even if he didn't show it deliberately, he still had murderous intent coming towards him.

"As long as he is an ambitious general who can ride on the grassland, he will not be able to withstand such temptation."

Princess Yongqing nodded and said happily: "You have such vision, you are worthy of the blood of our Chen family."

Su Tu didn't seem to agree with this statement, but he just frowned and didn't say much.

"Is there no problem over there in Xirong?"

Su Tu said: "With Nasu here, there will be no problem." He paused and then asked, "It's really surprising that your people can actually incite the tribes of Xirong."

Princess Yongqing said proudly: "Of course. When I was so insulted, I made up my mind to take everything into my hands. If your father was not so incompetent, these chess pieces should have been put to use in the early years. ”

Su Tu disagreed: "In the early years, Qi State was very powerful, but even if you did this, it would be difficult to gain anything."

When he said this, Princess Yongqing was not angry, but smiled: "You want to say that destiny belongs to you?"

Su Tu said: "People in the Central Plains talk about destiny, but I think it is better to fight for any destiny yourself. Otherwise, it is Uda who is here today, not me."

Uda is the eldest son of the Snow Wolf King, and he was supposed to inherit the Snow Wolf Division. But a few years ago ~IndoMTL.com~ was tricked by Sutu.

Princess Yongqing admired his vigor very much: "It's good that you have such a heart."

They watched for a while, and Princess Yongqing asked Zhong Ji: "Is it almost done?"

Zhong Ji hesitated a little: "Princess, they have chosen this route very well. If they want to bury all 3,000 people, the possibility is extremely low. As long as I keep an eye on it, I can only bury a few hundred people at most."

Princess Yongqing was displeased: "What's the use of hundreds of people?"

Zhong Ji lowered his head and listened to the instruction.

Su Tu looked across the valley, watching the figures rising and falling from time to time, and whispered: "With her here, there is no way we could bury her."

When mentioning this matter, Princess Yongqing became even more angry: "I will definitely skin and cramp that dead girl this time!"

Forget about the eight tribes killing each other, Princess Yongqing had no pity for the lives of the Hu people. Even after doing so, she felt the pleasure of successful revenge. But that girl took away her Xuan Ming Jade, so she had to figure it out carefully!

Su Tu seemed not to have heard what Princess Yongqing said, so he calculated it in his mind and said to Zhong Ji: "There are only as few people as there are people. Try to find a way to cut off their escape route and isolate them."

Zhong Ji looked at Princess Yongqing.

Princess Yongqing asked him: "Are you sure?"

Su Tu shook his head: "You have to do it even if you are not sure. You can't miss a good opportunity. There is no shortcut, just use a knife to find a way."

Princess Yongqing couldn’t think of anything to refute, so she nodded: “Go!”

Zhong Ji bowed: "Yes."

He jumped up, his figure like a light swallow, silently walking across the mountains opposite.

Zhong Ji’s figure disappeared in a flash.

At the same time, the little white snake in Mingwei's sleeve suddenly sprang out and said: "Sir, I seem to smell a familiar smell!"
