"Huh...huh..."

With rapid breathing, Guan Zhishan walked out of the muddy and rugged path, then found a rock, sat down and breathed heavily.

He glanced back and saw the scattered soldiers following him. He looked down again and saw his shoes and clothes soaked in mud and sewage. He couldn't help but shake his head.

Then he glanced over his shoulder again.

The wound there had been simply bandaged, but there was already blood showing through.

"uncle!"

Not far away, a voice called, and then Guan Yuan led a group of people to rush over. Soon they arrived in front of Guan Zhishan, and then knelt down on one knee.

"I waited too late for the rescue to arrive, which made my uncle suffer and suffer." As he spoke, there was choking in his voice.

Guan Zhishan shook his head and said, "What are you guilty of? Today's situation is the result of my poor thinking."

Guan Yuan and others still confessed. After a while, he whispered and asked: "Uncle, what happened this time? What is the intention of Marquis Dingxiang? Didn't you prepare the manpower in advance? Why did you end up

…”

"I prepared both the ambush and the escape route in advance. I didn't expect that both sides would be used in the end, but the latter was more effective. Dingxiang Hou's plan..."

As Guan Zhishan spoke, he suddenly shook his head.

"This plan was a complete failure," he sighed. "The point is not how embarrassed he looked when he escaped from there, but that from beginning to end, I didn't see through what his purpose of Ding Xianghou was.

This is the most fatal thing, and it makes the whole situation more complicated."

At this point, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Have there been any more disturbances in the military camp?"

Guan Yuan said: "Not yet, I'm being watched, but many generals know that you went to meet with Marquis Dingxiang. You need to mention this matter later and explain it."

Guan Zhishan smiled bitterly and said: "This is not easy. After all, strictly speaking, I don't even know the reason for going here..."

When Guan Yuan heard this, his heart trembled. At the same time, he also noticed that since his uncle arrived at the front line, this kind of bitter smile and bitter expression had appeared more than once.

And the crux of the matter is...

"It involves the Marquis of Dingxiang..."

Inexplicably, he became more and more in awe of the Marquis of Dingxiang.

"Okay, don't delay. Go back first. This matter needs to be considered in the long run."

After saying a few words briefly, Guan Zhishan's body swayed slightly. Guan Yuan and others did not dare to delay, and quickly led the military advisor back to the military camp.

The escape path Guan Zhishan arranged for himself was a path he specially selected. It was not only hidden and rugged, but also close to the Yongchang Army's station. It was also guarded by soldiers on weekdays to prevent it from being attacked by the imperial troops. Now it was

Guan Yuan and others took him with him and quickly returned to the barracks.

As soon as I entered the camp, I felt a chilling atmosphere.

"Have there been any developments in the imperial court during this period?" Guan Zhishan asked after cheering up a little.

Guan Yuan replied: "No, we followed my uncle's instructions and pretended to attack. We faced off against the enemy. The enemy then got on guard, and we fell into a stalemate."

"That's good. This momentum can't be stopped." Guan Zhishan's face turned pale. On the other side, the military doctor who had received the news had already arrived. "The other side should also have received the news about my injury. Plus this time

The purpose of Marquis Dingxiang is unclear, and he may have a follow-up plan, so we cannot let down our guard, we must maintain this formation to prevent an attack on the camp, and I will make arrangements again after I regain my energy."

Guan Zhishan was not pretentious, and did not choose to command despite being sick, because he knew that the slightest difference in military matters could lead to huge mistakes, and it was an important matter related to the rise and fall of power and the lives of countless people. If he did it in a daze,

If you make a decision, you will regret it later.

After thinking about this, he looked at his nephew and said: "I won't hide it from you. Maybe it's because of the injury and blood loss. I'm a little dizzy now. I feel tired thinking about the battle formation. I need to rest for a while before I can recover.

During this period, it is still up to you to coordinate all parties, and the rules I set before must still be implemented, but there is no need to be too demanding, the details can still be negotiated..."

Guan Zhishan warned earnestly, and Guan Yuan nodded repeatedly, and then respectfully sent his uncle back to recuperate.

But as soon as I turned around, there was bad news -

"Several generals, led by Cai Bing, came over and said they wanted to meet with the military advisor and ask about the situation."

"They got the news and knew that my uncle was injured, and they wanted to find out the truth..." Guan Yuan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "They all refused, saying that my uncle was sleepy and needed to rest for a while and wait for tomorrow morning.

Meet them, and also ask them to take good care of their soldiers and not to slack off!"

The messenger nodded and went back to report.

But when the news was brought to several generals gathered together, it immediately aroused dissatisfaction.

"Sure enough, these words are true. They don't take us seriously at all!"

The leader was a strong man with a beard all over his face. After hearing this, he showed an impatient look.

Next to him, someone said: "General Cai, you have to ask clearly. After all, this situation is too weird. How can we feel at ease if we don't understand it clearly?"

"Yes," another person next to him said, "it was a letter before, but it turned out to be secretive. When it couldn't be concealed anymore, it was said that it was a meeting with the Marquis of Dingxiang in the past, or a request made by the other party. I

After many years of marching and fighting, this is the first time we have received such a proposal."

Another person said: "The situation was in a stalemate before. He retreated after just one letter, which suddenly made the situation unfavorable. As a result, he ran out to meet with the enemy privately. The explanation was unclear. Now he didn't show up after he came back. Instead, he let his nephew

Standing in the front, I don’t know why I thought this battle was fought by their uncle and nephew! I would like to ask, at this time, why do you still have to confront the opponent? "

These people were all dressed in general uniforms. When they spoke like this, the soldiers and servants next to them did not dare to say anything.

But some people still took a look and left, passing the news back, and finally it fell into Guan Yuan's ears.

"It's Cai Bing again. This man's sister is now favored by the Marquis. He relies on this status to become more and more arrogant. The enemy still dares to talk nonsense here. This is to shake the morale of the army!"

Guan Yuan took two steps back and forth, thinking about whether to deal with it or not. Finally he shook his head and said to himself: "However, he has prestige and a backing. In terms of qualifications, I cannot match him. I will wait until my uncle is raised well."
