"Brothers, we must get to the military camp before dark," Wu Mingyuan, wearing heavy armor, said to the brothers who were guarding the grain.
"General, brothers are exhausted.
Let's take a rest."
He Shouyi gasped and said, "We have been traveling for three days and three nights, and we really can't bear it anymore."
"No" Wu Mingyuan said firmly: "We must pass through the thin line of sky in front of us before dark.
Food and grass are the lifeblood of the army.
If something goes wrong, the 500,000 troops marching to the west will starve to death."
"Humph" He Shouyi snorted unconvinced and reluctantly followed the team forward.
A line of sky.
The sky was getting dark, and the wind was whistling by, bringing with it chills and coldness.
"Brothers, proceed carefully."
Wu Mingyuan directed the rugged mountain road ahead.
As long as you cross this line of sky, it will be a flat road.
"yes" In the dark mountain col, the grain trucks moved forward slowly and in an orderly manner, but there were dark shadows on the high places on both sides, which was eerie and terrifying.
"Swish swish" Suddenly, arrows rained down from the darkness, and the unsuspecting soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
Black shadows passed in front of them and pushed all the grain carts away.
The remaining soldiers were killed, and only three were left.
Five people protected Wu Mingyuan, fighting and retreating in an extremely dangerous manner.
He Shouyi huddled at the end of the crowd and ran back quickly, but was kicked to the ground by a man in black.
He was so frightened that he shivered and said, "Didn't we agree to let me live?"
"He Shouyi" Wu Mingyuan finally realized that it was He Shouyi, this unkind and unjust guy, who collaborated with the enemy inside and outside, robbed the grain truck, and killed all the brothers.
"Prince Dugu, please give me a way to survive."
He Shouyi knelt down in front of Dugu Cangye like a dead dog.
"I can let you go."
Dugu Cangye patted his thigh, took a step forward, pointed at his crotch, and laughed loudly: "Step over from here."
He Shouyi nodded repeatedly, ducked under Dugu Cangye's crotch like a tortoise, and slipped away as fast as he could fly.
"General, leave quickly."
The remaining soldiers fought desperately to resist the approaching pursuers and cover Wu Mingyuan's retreat.
Wu Mingyuan rode a fast horse and rushed back to the military camp.
At that time, the army had been out of food for a day.
The wails of soldiers were everywhere.
Those who died of starvation and those who died in battle were too miserable to watch.
"If the marshal continues like this, I'm afraid that the 500,000-strong army will be exhausted, let alone fight against the Mongols, and it will be difficult to even withdraw the troops."
The military officer said worriedly, looking up at the sky, afraid that something bad would happen.
Wu Mingyuan finally dragged his tired body to the military camp and knelt down on the ground, "Marshal's food and grass were robbed, and all the brothers died in the battle."
"Hey, is it God who wants to kill me?"
Marshal Xu said helplessly.
"Marshal, the general has a plan," Wu Mingyuan asked for his orders: "The general will follow his plan and go to Dugu Cangye in desperation, waiting for an opportunity to burn their food and grass.
The marshal will take advantage of the chaos to get our food and grass back."
"What a wonderful plan," the military officer couldn't help but admired: "What a wonderful plan, Duke Wei!
If the food and grass in Dugu Cangye are destroyed, the troops will naturally retreat.
We can be regarded as a subjugated army without fighting."
"But if Dugu Cangye knew that you were pretending to surrender, I'm afraid he would kill you," Marshal Xu said worriedly.
"Marshal, don't worry that Dugu Cangye is brave and foolhardy.
He is not a suspicious person.

As long as we tell him a bitter trick, he will naturally believe it.
But" Wu Mingyuan lowered his head and said softly.
"What is Duke Wei worried about?"
Marshal Xu asked.
"I hope the marshal will send someone to protect the general's family.
After all, surrendering to the enemy and betraying the country is a serious crime."
Wu Mingyuan said.
"Good commander, I promise you that I will immediately send someone to protect your family and relatives.
Be careful with everything," Marshal Xu agreed.
"In this way, I not only received thirty beatings but was also tied to the guillotine.
Later, I took refuge in Dugu Cangye.
I successfully took the food and grass according to the opportunity and forced the enemy troops to withdraw to the Xiliang Mountain area."
Wu Mingyuan's old voice was filled with emotion.
Somewhat generous, his eyes are more far-reaching Xiliang Mountain, Mongolian tent.
"My lord, it must be him, he is simply a spy."
The generals in Dugu Cangye pointed at Wu Mingyuan and said, filled with righteous indignation, they wished to cut him into pieces.
"My lord, I'm wronged," Wu Mingyuan shouted, "I really don't know what's going on."
"You are indeed very suspicious about this matter."
Dugu Cangye was also very suspicious of Wu Mingyuan.
"Your Majesty, the general's loyalty to you can be learned from heaven and earth.
If the prince does not believe it, then the general will have no choice but to die to show his loyalty."
Wu Mingyuan pulled out the sword of the guard beside him and wiped it on his neck.
Seeing that Wu Mingyuan was seeking death, Dugu Cangye kicked the sword out of his hand, "I don't want your life, I just want to see your loyalty."
"Okay."
Wu Mingyuan picked up the big knife on the side and suddenly scratched the eyebrow on the right side of his cheek.
Heart-breaking pain hit him, and gurgling blood flowed down Wu Mingyuan's eyes.
He said in pain: "If the prince ends up fighting against If you have two minds, you have such a purpose."
"Well, I believe in you."
Dugu Cangye had to admire Wu Mingyuan's courage and perseverance, "No one is allowed to mention this matter again in the future."
"I finally gained Dugu Cangye's trust, but I heard that Marshal Xu was besieged on Jiuyan Mountain during the Western Expedition and was seriously injured.
He was later rescued from the mountain by His Majesty King Chen, who was the supervisor.
A few days later, I heard the news of Marshal Xu's death, and suddenly I felt that the world collapsed in front of my eyes, and the whole world was destroyed."
Wu Mingyuan recalled the past, and tears fell from the corners of his wrinkled eyes, crossing his old age. skin.
"Then I was sick for a long time, until one day there was a man sitting in front of my window.
He was wearing a golden armor, his whole body was shining with golden light, and his childish face had a pair of deep and sharp eagle-like eyes.
His stern little face had a maturity that was incompatible with his age.
That person was His Highness Chen Wang, who was only eleven or twelve years old at the time."
Wu Mingyuan said these words with some difficulty.
"Duke Wei, Marshal Xu told me everything about you before he died."
Xuanyuan Youchen's tone was very calm.
Even an adult would feel uneasy in the enemy's camp.
But all Wu Mingyuan saw was His domineering appearance.
"My lord, what do you want to say?"
Wu Mingyuan knew that Xuanyuan Youchen must have something to say.
"You have also lost a lot for this false surrender, so I hope you will continue to stay here and spy on Dugu Cangye's every move."

Xuanyuan Youchen seemed to know something, and his cold and sharp eyes made Wu Mingyuan surprised.
The domineering energy radiating from his body makes people afraid.
He had a hunch that King Chen would definitely become the overlord of one party in the near future.
"Then I stayed in the enemy army as an undercover agent.
His Highness King Chen did not disappoint me.
He not only defeated the enemy army but also drove them to the west of Xiliang Mountain.
Since then, the Xuanyuan Dynasty's territory has expanded again."
Wu Mingyuan said happily. , "I was captured in the imperial capital three months ago, and I learned that all the more than 380 members of my Wu family were beheaded.
Why did this happen?
Marshal Xu personally promised me."
Wu Mingyuan, who was in tears, was heartbroken and excited all over.
The ground trembled.
After years of working hard for this country, I ended up with this ending.
Why?
"Mr.
Wei Guo, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Marshal Xu.
He did send people to protect your family members, but unfortunately they were all killed by Dugu Cangye's people, and no one survived."
Xuanyuan Youchen explained, All this can only be regarded as God's will.
"Dugu Cangye," Wu Mingyuan shouted through gritted teeth, "You and I are irreconcilable."
"Back then, when Marshal Xu was on his deathbed, he said that you, Duke Wei, were the most unworthy of you.
He failed to fulfill his promise to you, which caused the death of your Wu family and the loss of your descendants."
Xuanyuan Youchen's tone was very calm but there was something unspeakable about it.
The sentimentality is the memory of the deceased or the pity for the living.
"Finally, God showed mercy and allowed Shan'er to come back to me.
Thank God."
Wu Mingyuan cried silently with a smile.
His old face was full of pain, and his left eye was slightly closed, looking a little ferocious.
"Grandpa, Grandpa" Wu Shan stroked Wu Mingyuan's old and vicissitudes of face, couldn't help but shed tears, and buried his head in front of his hospital bed.
"King Chen" Wu Shan felt ashamed and didn't know what to say.
It was all because of him that he was able to rescue his grandfather this time, but he repaid kindness with hatred.
Li Zhige leaned weakly on the bed, his wounds filled with excruciating pain, and he felt his consciousness slowly dissipating.
Yesterday, she was busy robbing prisoners, plus a day and night of surgery, which had almost exhausted her strength.
Now she had lost too much blood, and she really couldn't bear it anymore.
In a daze, he turned his head to one side and fell on the bed.
"Old Madam" Tieniu screamed, looking at her appearance he couldn't help but panic.
Everyone in the room was shocked:
