Spirit of the Phoenix: 112. Three times (replaced)

Her smile was vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it thousands of times before.

As if just one more glance, you will never be able to take your eyes off.

Ge Shuhai lowered his head and said softly: "...Even if I want to respond to you now, I can't withdraw my troops."

Tai'an looked up in surprise: "Why?"

He stood up with his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes, looked at the city wall not far away, and said, "Prince Yan... is here."

The city of Dingzhou was besieged again within a few days after it was broken.

This time, it was the Turkic people who defended the city, but it was the Yan army who attacked the city.

The defenders and attackers are reversed, but the **** battle remains the same.

Ge Shuhai strode forward, holding Tai'an's wrist tightly.

She seemed to be hanging on his arm, struggling desperately, pulling him back desperately: "Don't go! Don't go! It's still too late to withdraw the troops. Once the two armies are at war, there will be no more Turn back. You have already made a big mistake, don't make a second mistake."

She has always been immersed in the joy of reuniting with him, and vaguely ignored the current hostility between the two.

But no matter how tender the encounter is, one cannot escape the moment when the feelings of family and country are torn apart bloody.

The soft-tongued words of an old friend are just their wishful thinking and self-deception.

"I made a big mistake? What's wrong with me?" Ge Shuhai also suppressed his anger and growled, "I was born in Turkic and raised by the Great Khan Adubi, so I should be passionate Serve the country. The Turkic wind is bad and the water is cold. If there is a snowstorm in winter and a large number of livestock die, the people of our Xueyantuo tribe will suffer from hunger and evil."

"The south is rich in water and grass. With the Han River in Luoshui as your back, you can grow rice three seasons a year. Everyone lives a prosperous life. Why endure the suffering of wind and sand?" What's wrong? I fought **** battles for my brothers and sisters, what's wrong?"

Tai'an stared at him blankly.

Is fate... such a tricky little thing?

Thirty years ago, he was the guard of the Eastern Palace of Great Yan. He desperately defended his family, country and society, and fought **** battles with Li's traitors to the last moment.

It is she who is sorry for him. It was her, her brother, and her father's innocence and ignorance that failed him.

It's her Dayan who is sorry for him.

And he was reincarnated with resentment and became a famous Turkic general. In this life, he has the power to avenge himself in the previous life.

Sarcasm? It couldn't be more ironic.

Will every life that dies because of her recover its debts from the reincarnation of fate and pay the price for it?

Death is eternity, an eternity that cannot be solved even if reincarnated ten thousand times.

Ge Shuhai is no longer Ah Man.

But she is still the princess of the Great Yan Dynasty. It's still her.

Tai'an slowly closed his eyes.

"In that case, why don't you take me to the city wall to supervise the battle?" She looked at him intently, "Didn't you always want to know if I am the prince's concubine? You take me to the city wall, Tie me up and threaten him to force him to retreat, and everything will be revealed."

She was born as a ghost, so why should she be afraid? Since he dared to leap once in front of Qin Xiangying, he dared to leap again before a hundred thousand troops.

Her words were provocative, and she regarded him as an enemy in every word.

Ge Shuhai felt depressed, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You think I dare not?"

He looked at her coldly, and beckoned the maid to come over: "Come here, search her thoroughly. Let me check all the daggers, hairpins, clothes and belts carefully. If there is anything that shouldn't be there, you are the only one." Ask."

He guessed that she had the will to die in the city, and was so angry at her loyalty to the prince that she couldn't choose what to say.

Tai'an struggled, intending to resist.

Ge Shuhai's face turned cold: "If you don't cooperate with the maid, I will search you personally."

She stopped.

The unreserved trust between her and him when they first met, was torn into strands of flakes and scattered in the wind before the two armies confronted each other.

Tai sat quietly in the east wing. The door was locked, and someone was guarding the door.

She watched the afterglow of the setting sun come in through the gap in the window, and then gradually disappear.

It is night.

The battle drums are loud and the golden gongs are shaking the sky. The flame ignited from top to bottom along the long and long ladder, like a giant fire dragon.

The prince's face was extremely unfamiliar under the reflection of the fire, as if the sun had not yet set, and it was full of the afterglow of the setting sun.

And her primordial spirit hidden in his arms felt the scorching temperature.

The quenched golden arrow passed by his side, and he rushed forward desperately, as if he didn't know the pain.

"You're bleeding..." Tai'an murmured, "Stop, let the military doctor look at it for you."

Blood ran down the iron armor and soaked into her "Saint Ancestor's Instructions"; while her primordial spirit hid in it, like a blood-drinking poisonous snake desperately extracting power from the blood, she felt unprecedentedly powerful .

"Don't fight like this..." She had tears in her eyelashes, "Protect yourself. I'm a ghost...how could something happen?"

She was by his side, but she was never used and treated as an all-conquering ghost for a moment.

General Li followed the Prince's side fearfully, looking at the gap and persuading him: "Your Highness, the battle of Dingzhou is by no means a one-day battle. Today it is time to protect yourself and fight again after besieging the city."

As brave as brother Shuhai, didn't he break through Dingzhou after besieging the city for two months?

Now the crown prince is desperately looking like he wants to destroy the city overnight.

The prince should not be such an irrational person.

And General Li clearly knew the reason for his desperate efforts, but he still didn't dare to mention Tai'an's name.

Everyone has a weakness.

It is the iron clothes and cold armor on his body that bears the strength and perseverance, and it is the weakness that he is invulnerable to defeating the Buddha and still can never be protected.

"Don't let me become... your weakness." Inside the towering city wall, she said softly, "I will kill you like I killed Ah Man thirty years ago."

—————————————————————————

Ge Shuhai came to see her again, he changed from his relaxed and complacent expression before, and his expression was very worried.

"Your little lover is crazy." He said with a livid face, "Dingzhou is not a fortress, just besiege the city, why are you fighting me so desperately? It's as if you don't want your life."

"Will he know how to fight? He wasn't such a mad dog three years ago!" Ge Shuhai complained half-truthfully.

In this battle, Ge Shuhai did not get any benefits from the young prince. It was as if a big stone fell from Tai'an's heart, and all the strength in his body relaxed.

"You are the **** of war, what are you afraid of?" She had a smile on her face and teased in a relaxed tone, "Soldiers descended from the sky, with one enemy against a hundred, are strong in nature and good at avoiding spears. I see how you are." Very good, there is no injury on the whole body."

Ge Shuhai was very angry, full of sarcasm: "What? Are you so happy to see me deflated? Are you begging all kinds of gods and Buddhas, just hoping that I will die so that I can meet your little lover What about?"

"No!" Tai'an suddenly stood up and looked straight at him, "I have never expected you to die for a moment! Never!"

"If I'm really begging the gods and Buddhas, I'm also begging for them to stop the war. I beg you to return to the court." She looked at him with an unprecedented seriousness, and looked at him intently. Injured."

Her sincerity was so obvious, it made him feel uncomfortable.

Ge Shuhai coughed lightly, stood up, purposely hoarsed his throat, and replied with a little embarrassment: "...That's right. Next time he is so desperate, I will really tie you to the tower. "

Although it was a joke, such a thought made him flustered.

Ge Shuhai sighed with emotion: "I don't know what kind of idea he has. The city of Dingzhou is solid, and it should be besieged to consume the combat power in the city. Why is the prince of Yan so anxious."

He didn't say any more, subconsciously stroked his earlobe with his fingers, and tapped back and forth on his waist, as if beating a beat.

Tai'an suddenly raised his eyes, sensitively aware of something.

She and Ah Man have known each other for a whole life, and no one in this world knows him better than her.

He bowed his head when he was nervous, wrinkled his nose when he was patient, and tapped his fingers on his waist when he was worried...

On the night of the palace change, she stayed by her father's bedside waiting for him to breathe his last.

The staff and the general in the princess mansion persuaded her many times, but she insisted on refusing to leave.

Aman didn't say a word, but when he was with her, his fingers tapped on his waist.

Li Chao's rebels broke into the palace, and he carried her on his back all the way, shivering like rain.

She comforted him, stroked his earlobe lightly up and down, and said, "Don't be afraid, Ah Man, it's okay. Even if something happens, it's okay."

Thirty years later, the Ge Shuhai in front of her was in front of her, with his fingers on his waist and gently stroking his earlobes.

He was scared, nervous and worried.

But why? Tai'an didn't understand.

The prince fought desperately, mostly because of her. She knows this better than anyone else.

As Ge Shuhai said, Dingzhou City is as solid as gold, and he had already prepared himself for it. He knew that the prince's attack on the city was imminent, so he should have made all the preparations.

Shouldn't the prince be attacking the city with all his might, right in the arms of his elder brother Shu Hai? Isn't it just a chance to annihilate the main force of the Yan army and consume the strength of the Yan army?

Since this is the case, what is Ge Shuhai worried about?

The total strength of the Yan army in the northern expedition was only 70,000, not to mention that half of them stayed in Yunzhou City and did not attack Dingzhou with the prince.

Turkic cavalry is the main force, and the 40,000 army is divided into two. In Dingzhou City, there are 20,000 main forces of his brother Shu Hai, even if the 70,000 Yan army is all attacking the city, his brother Shu Hai shouldn't be so flustered. !

Why did the prince attack the city in the opposite way, but made Ge Shuhai restless?

Why did Ge Shuhai seem to worry that the prince did not besiege the city while talking?

Could it be that as a defender with many soldiers but limited food and grass, shouldn't he fear the prince's siege the most, and siege the city the most joy?

Unless... the city is extremely rich in food and grass? Tai'an bit his lower lip and thought.

Or... She widened her eyes and gasped.

Or, there is no 20,000 Turkic army in the city!

Ge Shuhai hoped that the crown prince would besiege Dingzhou instead of attacking the city with all his might, because... this is an empty city!

Dingzhou is still an empty city!

Ge Shuhai's main force did not stay behind after breaking through the city! Instead, they moved to... Yunzhou!

Yes! It can only be like this!

Tai'an stood up, trembling with excitement.

The huge net is waiting to be collected, and Ge Shuhai has confuse them three times. For the first time, the Turkic army surrounded Dingzhou, and after attracting the prince's troops, they went south to attack Yunzhou with a large army; but retreated decisively when the prince returned to defend.

The second time, the Turkic army was guerrilla outside Yunzhou City, besieging the city, but the main force had already rushed to Dingzhou, and successfully broke through the city of Dingzhou, which had been besieged for two months.

For the third time, the prince led an army to leave Yunzhou and rush to Dingzhou to recover Dingzhou. But who knows that in Dingzhou City at this time, there is no Turkic army that should have stayed behind!

The main force of the Turks left the city and rushed to Yunzhou when the city was broken.

When the crown prince was attacking Dingzhou, Ge Shuhai's real goal... has always been Yunzhou!
