C561 On the eve of the great war

Bai Changjian did not go back on his words, for the next few days, he led his men and raided several times, the Prince Chu gave him a lot of face, and every time he fought a battle, he would capture him alive to release him. Bai Changjian was so angry that smoke rose from his orifices as he pointed at the Prince Chu's nose and scolded, "You crafty villain, if you have the ability to kill me with one slash, I will not be surnamed Bai!"

Prince Chu stood not far away. Seeing that he was enraged, he looked like he wanted to rush over to settle the score, but he was stopped by a few soldiers.

He slowly walked over, "In terms of individual combat, you can't beat me, and in terms of tactics, you're not my opponent. In terms of tactics, you can't defeat me, and in terms of tactics, you're not my opponent, and in terms of tactics, you can't kill me.

"Because you want to torture me, to fool me."

"That's not right," Prince Chu looked up at him and said seriously, "Because Qian Fan called you Big Brother."

When he mentioned Bai Qianfan, Bai Changjian became even more furious and flew into a rage, spitting at him fiercely, "You still dare to bring her up, don't you think you can bear such a good person into your hands, is this how you treat her? Give it back to my sister, you hypocrite, you despicable person, give it back to my sister! " Bai Changjian was extremely angry, she was furious to the extreme, and Bai Changjian roared like a ferocious beast.

Prince Chu had nothing to say. Bai Changjian was right, he had let Bai Qianfan down, and had always thought that her staying by his side was the safest. However, it just so happened that someone dared to kidnap someone away from his side.

He turned around and no longer looked at Bai Changjian, "Send him back."

"Yes sir!" At his command, the soldiers placed Bai Changjian on a horse and began escorting him towards the enemy's camp.

After this time, Bai Changjian did not play any more tricks, because it had finally snowed heavily. It was a good thing that the mountain road could not be traversed, but the ice on the river surface was not too good for him, the main force of the Prince Chu was on the other side of the river, as long as the ice was solid, his army would step on it and go straight for Lin An.

"Is the salt truck here yet?" he asked Guan Xiong.

"Soon. We've reached Black Wood Cliff. If everything goes well, we'll arrive tomorrow afternoon."

"Send people to help along the way to prevent the other party from sending people to rob the carriage."

"The snow has sealed the mountain. They probably won't be able to get here, right?"

"You can't be careless," Bai Changjian used the tip of his blade to pull the wick, "These few times, I've been beheaded by him, and I have some understanding of him. Back then, His Majesty's title was in fact the famous Warlord, and when fighting with him, we must be extremely cautious."

Guan Xiong looked at him and carefully asked, "General, Prince Chu has always wanted to catch and release you, have you any deeper meaning behind that?"

Just as Bai Changjian was putting the dagger into his sheath, he heard this, and his movements paused for a moment. The Prince Chu said that he was released because Qian Fan called him Big Brother, but he did not believe it, and that it was just to humiliate him, and to erase his will.

he asked. "Has this reached the court?"

Guan Xiong was a little helpless, "There are always so many people, the military reports are always sent to Lin An, how can you not mention it?"

"What attitude does the emperor have?"

"With the Prime Minister here, the General can be at ease. The Emperor will surely trust the General." Guan Xiong changed the topic, "Have you heard about it General? Due to the heavy snow blocking the way, the Prince Chu's food supply would not be able to come in, so I'm afraid our livelihood will not be a problem for us for long."

"There are mountains to the south and plains to the north. We are in the right place now, but it is not easy to guard," Bai Changjian sighed, stood up, took his cloak and put it on, "Come, let's go to the river bank."

— —

On the other side of the river, Jia Tong stood in the cold wind and looked up to the sky, "Soon, if the river is frozen, we can fight our way over."

"I can't." Ning Jiu poured cold water on him.

"Why?" Jia Tong said in surprise: "Wei River may not be frozen every year, but it has been frozen for a long time. As long as the weather is cold enough and the ice is firm enough, walking up would not be a problem."

"Bai Changjian will not let the river freeze over," Ning Jiu said.

Sprinkling salt on the river would not be easy to freeze. Even if it was frozen, it would not be stable and it would be dangerous to leave as well, much less march.

He scratched his head, "We have been at war for more than a month now, why didn't the Prince take the mountain road. Although the mountain road isn't easy, it's better to take a detour than to be stuck here."

"The mountain roads are only suitable for guerrilla warfare and are not conducive to marching. Forget about one month, you won't even be able to leave after two months," Ning Jiu said as he looked at the continuous mountain range in the distance.

"Since the time of war is not good for us, why don't we wait for spring to come …"

Ning Jiu's gaze turned slightly cold, "Your Highness can't wait." He understood the prince's thoughts the best, because if he wanted to avenge his wife, he couldn't wait a moment longer.

As the two of them were talking, the Prince Chu's cold voice came out from the accounts, "Jia Tong, come in."

Jia Tong's heart jumped, how long had it been since the prince called him in? He immediately replied, "Yes, your subordinate is here." He turned around and walked into the room.

Morong Gan sat in front of the desk with his eyes closed. Han Tong stood at the side and nodded his head when he saw him enter.

Jia Tong cupped his hands and bowed: "Your highness, your subordinate has arrived."

"Jia Tong," Morong Gan looked up at him, "Bai Changjian's salt carriage is almost here.

In that moment, Jia Tong was extremely excited, when he finally received a task, and it was such an important one, the Duke still believed in him.

Immediately kneeling down to receive the order, "Please rest assured Your Highness, this subordinate will definitely complete the mission cleanly and beautifully. I ask for the good news from Your Highness and the rest of his subordinates. "

"No need," Morong Gan said indifferently. "This is not a real tribulation.

Jia Tong, "... "Pretend …"

"We have to make Bai Changjian think that we are the real deal. Morong Gan said, "About this, you should be very good at it."

Jia Tong wanted to cry, but no tears came out. What do you mean by he was good, in the eyes of the Duke, he was just a liar?

However, he did not understand, "Prince, why didn't we really get robbed? We robbed their salt, and then we could smoothly freeze on the surface of the river, and our army could finally pass through."

Han Tong purposely kept him in suspense, "Bai Changjian doesn't want the water to freeze, so let's just follow his wishes."

Jia Tong still did not understand, but Morong Gan did not have any intentions of explaining, and said: "After finishing this task, you can go back to Su City."

Jia Tong said with a sullen face, "Your highness, you don't need me anymore?"

Morong Gan looked at him, and said each word clearly, "The Su City has this king's home, and I have entrusted this king to you before. You have failed in your duty, and this time, I hope you will not disappoint this king again."

Jia Tong was startled, he didn't really understand. To the Duke, the place where the princess and Heir were located was the home, what was the purpose of sending him back to protect?
