C558 Freeze on equal river surface

The civil war that had ended for more than a year was once again raging like a raging fire. Compared to the previous one, the flames of war this time had basically spread to the north.

Morong Gan used his elite squad to scatter Bai Changjian's group. Bai Changjian gradually became more passive, but no matter how passive he became, he did not move an inch. The main force that was left to guard the Wei Shui river side, the large group continued to guard the dangerous barrier, and Morong Gan was able to tolerate him for a short period of time. In addition, the emperor had personally supported Bai Changjian this time, his food and military pay had always arrived on time. This support had lasted for a whole month, and Bai Changjian did not lose.

However, he was obviously very worried. Standing by the Wei Shui bank, he gazed into the distance, deep in thought.

Guan Xiong walked over, "General, another batch of rations has arrived, and the Emperor himself is asking for it. No one would dare to take what we want, or what the higher ups are giving us."

Bai Changjian laughed coldly, "This battle is related to our own lives and family, everyone is counting on us, who still dares to think about food, once Prince Chu passes by, their days will not be good."

"Yes," Guan Xiong said. "I had originally heard about the brutality of the Prince Chu, but I didn't think that he truly deserved this reputation. His bloody head hung on the city walls, scaring all of the city guards half to death. Even now, we still don't understand why he keeps attacking those small places in those places, it can't be that he wants to implicate our forces, furthermore, we aren't stupid, if we watch too much we can just let him go, the main force is still here, and his attack is useless. "

Bai Changjian said, "Go back and take a careful look at the map, connect all the small areas he's occupied together, and you will find the problem."

Guan Xiong was shocked, "General means, he wants to clear the mountain road?"

"Maybe he did, but he's stalling for time now," the governor said, pointing to the wide expanse of water in front of them. "When winter comes, it'll get colder and colder, and he'll be waiting for the river to freeze."

Guan Xiong was startled, and said, "That's not scary, in terms of water battles, they are powerful, but in terms of land, our Armoured Cavalry Battalion is not weak."

Bai Changjian shook his head, "Unless there's no other choice, it's best not to take that step."

Guan Xiong asked, "Then what do we do?"

"If you are really frozen, sprinkle salt on the river, send people to stand guard day and night, and break the ice when they see it. The method may be a bit stupid, but it is very practical. In addition, "he paused for a moment," to capture the thief, I intend to give it a try.

Guan Xiong was shocked, "How do you want to try? Prince Chu is not an ordinary person, how can he come out so easily? "

"Use me as bait," the captain said, looking away. "Kill him when he isn't looking!"

"General, you absolutely cannot," Guan Xiong said. "Let this lowly general go …"

"Your weight is not enough yet," Bai Changjian laughed, "I can't bear to part with your child, and I can't hold back the wolf. This battle, it's not only for the emperor, it's also for myself."

Guan Xiong knew that he hated his sister to death, so he kept fighting Morong Gan with all his might. He made up his mind. He was afraid that he wouldn't easily change his mind.

"General, let this general go with you."

"The two of us can't leave at the same time," Bai Changjian said. "We haven't been in the Armoured Cavalry Camp for long, and the water here is very deep, there were people who weren't convinced by us before. If they all leave, it would be a good opportunity for them to make trouble.

Guan Xiong knew that he was right, the Armoured Cavalry Battalion was originally the Emperor's nurturing power, it was the King's trump card army. The Commander of the Armoured Cavalry Battalion was called Yuan Zhao and had a very good relationship with the Prime Minister Bai, but no matter how good their relationship was, once it threatened their own interests, it would be different. He called Bai Changjian a good nephew, and on the surface, he looked friendly and kind, and secretly helped Bai Changjian to take the bait. Fortunately, Bai Changjian was still able to suppress his anger. He had killed the chicken for the monkey to see, using this as an example to suppress's arrogance.

Bai Changjian stood by the river, and when he looked towards the other side, Morong Gan was also standing by the river. He looked towards the other side, and asked Zhuge Qianyu who was standing by the side: "Sir can look at the sky, I wonder how long it will take for it to snow?"

Zhuge Qianyu adjusted the fox skin cloak on his body: "This old man has been watching for several days already and the clouds have not dispersed. Snow is something that will happen sooner or later, but I'm afraid that it won't happen again for the next ten days."

"Ten days is too long," Morong Gan muttered to himself, then asked Han Tong, "Tomorrow is the attack on Plum Town, who will lead the team?"

"It's Liu Maoquan."

Morong Gan remembered this person. When he had searched for Bai Qianfan for the past half a year without any results, it was Liu Maoquan who sent her back. She had returned, but he did not protect her properly.

He looked at the river surface and did not speak for a long time. Only then did Han Tong realize that he had said the wrong thing, and became annoyed, why can't he just say anything, why must he bring up Liu Maoquan?

"Your Highness, it's cold outside, go in."

Morong Gan did not make a sound, and did not move either. Han Tong looked at Zhuge Qianyu, he was a wise man, he definitely had a way to make Prince Chu return to the camp.

Zhuge Qianyu laughed lightly and said to Morong Gan, "My prince, yesterday's chess piece was still in this old man's account, so we have to decide who wins and who loses, why not …"

Morong Gan retracted his gaze, looked at Zhuge Qianyu and said, "Alright, Sir, please."

The crown prince returned to his Su City and asked Zhuge Qianyu to stay and help him, but Zhuge Qianyu's main function here was to accompany him to play chess. He did not have much time to spare, and would leave after killing all the chess pieces.

Zhuge Qianyu's chess skills were outstanding, playing chess with an expert was a type of enjoyment, allowing him to get rid of distracting thoughts and concentrate. Halfway through the game, Ning Jiu hurriedly walked in and whispered in his ear.

Morong Gan's finger held onto a chess piece, his eyelids raised, and two rays of light shot out. Zhuge Qianyu, who was seated opposite of him, felt his heart jump, and seeing that he had gotten up, he said, "This king has something to do first, so I might as well play with you again another day."

Zhuge Qianyu immediately stood up and cupped his hands, seeing him out, "Your highness is busy with important matters, if you are free, I will accompany you to play chess again."

Morong Gan strode back to his own tent and asked Ning Jiu, "Is the news confirmed?"

"I'm sure that the person disappeared at exactly the same time as Princess Hua-Yang was robbed. I haven't seen him again since then."

"Continue to investigate," Morong Gan stood by the side of the table, his eyes filled with a cold light. "Don't let go of any trace or trace, no matter how big the martial arts world is, this king will still turn it upside down!"

They did not intentionally lower their voices in order to speak, and it was not only the guards outside the tent, even Zhuge Qianyu who was standing not far away could hear them clearly. He slightly frowned, held his hands behind his back, and slowly returned to his own tent.

Winter nights always came very early. The sky and the earth seemed to be filled with smoke. A bird flapped its wings and flew from the back of a tent into the sky, disappearing into the darkness.

Ning Jiu stood in front of the account, heard the commotion, raised his head and looked at the sky, his tightly knitted eyebrows slightly relaxed.
