Riding the Pheonix Chapter 428: Big Bird
Guo Xu was very depressed.
The Xirong tribes launched a large-scale attack, and the Northwest Army rushed to meet him. He completely lost his use in Baimen Gorge.
Check military affairs? Who checks for you during the war? Cha Zong’s family? There is a war going on right now. Do you want to shake the morale of the troops?
Guo Xu is worried, if this continues, there will be no chance of making meritorious deeds!
After being depressed for a few days, Baimenxia finally received news from Shishiguan.
An avalanche occurred again on the road going north, and it was completely impossible to get through it before the snow melted.
Zong Xu didn’t know whether he was alive or dead, and even Yang Shu had no news.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Guo Xu felt a sense of crisis.
He is only temporarily demoted from the capital for business. If he continues to have no sense of presence, the emperor may forget about him.
After much thought, he found a job for himself.
"Let's go on a field investigation and see what's going on in the north!"
The nephew of the Guo family was shocked: "Sixth Uncle, Mr. Yang and so many fierce generals were buried. Are we going to die like this?"
Guo Xu gave him a slap in the face: "What did you say?"
Is there such a thing as pouring cold water on yourself before you even start?
"Isn't it?" The nephew felt aggrieved, "You are a civil servant, so don't mess with them, right?"
Guo Xudao: "That's why I'm going! Look, is it useful to stay here? These military attaches usually treat us with respect, but when it comes to war, it's time for them to start shaking. If you don't want to If we do something about it, we will be left here with no one to care about us. Once this battle is over, the Northwest Army will be busy showing off its merits. What about us? We will have no choice but to return to Beijing in despair. We made a mistake and left Beijing, but we have not made any achievements when we return. , when the time comes, it will be difficult to return to the Political Hall!"
"It's so serious!" the nephew asked, "Is there nothing else that can be done?"
Guo Xu sighed: "Wealth can be found in danger, everyone knows this truth. Now that we have come to the northwest and have suffered so much, why not suffer more? Remember Mr. Ming Jing who Uncle Liu followed, right? In addition to being A master of Confucianism and Taoism, he is also proficient in geography. When I was young, I went on a study tour with him and explored rivers and mountains along the way. However, I also know a little bit about geological surveying. There are no talents in this field in the Northwest Army. If I can find a way, If I can rescue Zong Xu, even if I just retrieve his body, I can also use this to break into the upper echelons of the Northwest Army, and I will have the right to speak. In this way, when the time comes, I can also get some military merit. With luck, maybe the Saint Shang Song let go and asked me to go back to the political hall."
"So that's it!" The nephew finally understood and flattered him, "Uncle Liu is so talented, he is really good at everything!"
Guo Xu rolled his eyes at him: "Hurry up and pack your things, let's set off now."
"So fast?"
"The finger may have been buried, so why not?" Guo Xu kicked his butt, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Hey."
Zong Rui was surprised when he got the news: "Master Guo is going to find my father? Isn't that bad? He is a civil servant, and even Yang San didn't come back in such a cold weather. What if something happens to him?"
Joining the Army had a different idea and advised: "Major General, let him go! Civilization and military affairs are not all the same. He came to the northwest. To put it bluntly, it was our fault to arrest him. Now he has to find his own way and bury him. , so as not to get in our way."
Zong Rui hesitated: "That's it, it's still a life."
Jianjun said: "This Mr. Guo came from the political affairs hall. Think about it, would a person who has been a prime minister be so rash? He must be sure that he would do this. If you stop him, he will Not only will I not be grateful to you, I might even hold a grudge against you, so why bother?"
This reason convinced Zong Rui. He thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let him go."
……
Su Tu's troops came to the city and confronted the Qi army.
Both sides were in no hurry to take action and looked at each other from afar.
Mingwei didn't understand the war, so he simply discussed it with Yang Shu: "I'll go back to Baimen Gorge to report the news. What if they think we've all been buried in the snow, and they don't know how to rescue us even if the snow melts? ”
Yang Shu was convinced: "Go and ask the teacher and ask him to write a letter to Zong Rui and explain this matter clearly."
Mingwei teased him: "It's quite easy for you to call me teacher now."
Yang Shu also laughed: "People bring this opportunity to me, how can I not seize the opportunity? Even if this relationship is no longer effective when it goes off the gravel slope, at least the friendship has been established. The status is fake, and love is always there. The score will come true."
"I'm really smart now."
After a few jokes, Mingwei went to see Zong Xu.
Zong Xu was very kind to her and did not treat her as a woman in the back house. She treated her as a guest with every courtesy.
When she revealed her intention, Zong Xu was surprised: "Is there any way for the girl to go back?"
Mingwei told the truth: "The master has some special skills that can use the power of the mechanism. However, this skill is rare and can only carry one or two people, so it cannot be mass-produced. Sending a letter is not a big problem."
"That's okay. If Rui'er knew that I was fine, he would be more confident."
Zong Xu called his personal guards, quickly wrote a letter, stamped it, and handed it to her. At the end, he told her: "I know that girls are not ordinary people. It's just that the snowy mountains are dangerous. If there's anything you can't do, Your own safety is the most important thing."
Mingwei agreed and went back to prepare.
That day, she took the big bird and climbed out of the gravel slope.
This situation attracted the attention of the Hu army.
"Khan, look!"
Su Tu looked at the big bird flying away and sighed: "It's too far~IndoMTL.com~ Otherwise, shoot it down and see what it is."
After thinking about it, he was still a little unwilling: "Didn't you say that a woman from the Central Plains regards her husband as the greatest honor? I am willing to give her the position of princess, and even promised that her heirs will inherit the throne in the future. Why is she? Refuse to stay? She will get nothing if she goes back to Qi, so why bother?"
How could his personal guards answer this question? He doesn’t even understand what a woman from the Central Plains is like...
Su Tu shook his head and could only put the matter behind him.
Since she can't stay, there is only one way, which is to kill her!
……
Guo Xushun smoothly left the city gate, riding the big horse Zong Rui prepared for him, all the way north.
He really had a few brushes, and he walked and explored all the way, and he actually found the place where Zong Xu hid when he encountered snow difficulties for the first time.
"There are traces of camping." He murmured, "It seems that General Zongda has a good chance of surviving."
This conclusion cheered him up: "Let's go, keep looking!"
The two searched for two days, with fewer and fewer traces on the road, and finally found that the road ahead was completely blocked.
"Uncle Six, can't you make it through this?" Guo's nephew asked tremblingly.
Guo Xu shook his head heavily: "This is the trace of the second avalanche. If Zong Xu had not died, he should be on the gravel **** by now."
This time they couldn't find the way, so the two had no choice but to turn back.
But on this section of the road, the avalanche was so severe that his legs were stiff from the cold. He accidentally missed a spot and was about to fall.
"Uncle Six!" The nephew of the Guo family shouted, but he couldn't get his hand, and he was extremely desperate.
At this moment, a big bird flew by, a rope hung from it, and tied Guo Xu up.
