Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 120 Who Is This Woman
Five thousand Xirong captives set off from the Langya pass under the escort of the Yan army. It is already the fourth day today.Finally saw the border wall.

Standing on a high place, Shen Yuexi brushed away her messy hair that blocked her view, and looked towards the border gate not far away.

Facing the noon sun, the black city wall lay like a giant snake on the dusty ground, traversing east and west.It was built by the Dayan Dynasty, and it safely protected the people inside the pass, but abandoned the people outside the pass.

It's not easy going this way.

At first, Qiu Liming suggested that Qianhu of the Xiliang cavalry lead 1000 troops to escort the captives to the border. She stayed in Xiaogang Village and did not have to do it herself.

She didn't answer.

Who doesn't like to stay at home, without having to travel through mountains and rivers, the wind and the sun, and the skin is badly tanned.The problem is that these captives were rescued by her, she can't let go halfway, she has to start and end.

In the end, [-] sergeants set off with more than [-] captives. Shen Yuexi, Qiu Liming, Qianhu cavalry from Xiliang, and Yang Cong accompanied them.

On the first day, all the prisoners were physically strong and walked more than [-] miles.Shen Yuexi was also secretly happy, at this speed, she reached the border in two days.

On the second day, I could only walk more than [-] miles.On the third day, it was reduced by half again. By nightfall, the prisoners were so hungry that they were exhausted.Fortunately, under the restraint of Commander-in-Chief Qiang Lin, and some food was obtained on the way, although the prisoners were dizzy from hunger, there was no disturbance.

During the last part of the journey, the captives supported each other and walked slower than an old ox pulling a cart.If it weren't for the frontier, many people would not be able to persist.

A war horse galloped from the direction of the border and stopped at the foot of the hillside where Shen Yuexi was. The sergeant on the horse shouted loudly:
"Ma'am, General Qiu, the border gates have not been opened."

"What!" Both Shen Yuexi and Qiu Liming, who was standing aside, shouted.

The news is not good news.

"General Qiu, didn't you say that the guard at the border has agreed to open the door to accept the prisoners?" Shen Yuexi looked at Qiu Liming nervously.

She is a woman and a fugitive wanted by the emperor, so she cannot come forward to negotiate.Before the captives left, Qiu Liming had already contacted the guard at the border, and the answer he got was that the captives could be accepted.They set off with confidence.

Now the prisoners are so hungry that their chests stick to their backs, and they can no longer walk.If the border gate refuses to accept it, it will really starve to death under the city wall.

Qiu Liming said to Shen Yuexi: "Ma'am, don't worry, the general will go to the city to inquire now."

He walked quickly down the hillside and got on his horse.Shen Yuexi followed and said, "I'll go with me too, maybe I can help."

Qiu Liming was a little embarrassed: "Madam, your status is not suitable for showing your face."

"I cover my face with a turban so they don't know who I am."

Just do what you say, Shen Yuexi asked Yang Cong to find a turban, and wrapped her head tightly, only showing her eyes.He said to Yang Cong: "Let the captives rest where they are, and order the sergeant to find some firewood to light a fire for everyone to keep warm."

Yang Cong said: "Madam, don't worry."

She had learned Xiao Zhuo's true identity from the prisoner, she was very surprised at first, but then turned into excitement.As a girl from my own village, I never thought that I would actually talk to the world-renowned Crown Prince of Yan.Now she, like all the generals, calls Shen Yuexi his wife.

If Xiao Zhuo hadn't been deposed by the emperor, she thought it would be right to call her the Crown Princess Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi and Qiu Liming rode to the city.Shen Yuexi looked up at the city wall, which was more than ten meters high. The city wall was already mottled due to the weather.There is a small gate at the foot of the city wall, which is not a formal gate for entering the city, but only for the entry and exit of the frontier troops.

Qiu Liming shouted to the city:

"Sergeant, please General Wei, just say Qiu Liming to see you."

Not long after, a square-faced military general appeared on the crenel, holding his hand on the crenel and looking down: "General Qiu, you are safe."

Qiu Liming shouted: "I sent an envoy here earlier to ask for the resettlement of the Xirong captives, and the general agreed to come down. Now the captives are waiting outside the city, please ask the general to open the city gate."

The square-faced general did not order the sergeants around him to act, but shouted to the following:

"General Qiu, I promised it was true. But Zhao Shuai issued a military order yesterday that no food and grass at the border will be used. If these [-] captives are accepted, the stored food and grass will be used. Wei really dare not resist the order."

Shen Yuexi whispered to Qiu Liming, "General Qiu, who is this Commander Zhao?"

"Zhao Mu, the head coach of the Great Yan border at a young age, the entire northern border is under his control."

"Then ask him why he can't use food and grass, is he lying?"

Qiu Liming replied: "I know General Wei's character well. Before Mengyue and I left the customs, we all went on his side. He should not lie."

After saying that, Qiu Liming raised his head and said, "General Wei, why is Commander Zhao not allowed to use food and grass?"

The square-faced general said: "General Qiu may not know what's going on in the pass, so it's okay to tell you. The king of Qi led an army of 15 to attack Beidi. Xiao Beiheng, the son of the king of Qi, led an army of [-] to the west along the border pass, and it will arrive soon. .The grain and grass along the way are supplied by the border customs.”

Shen Yuexi shuddered when she heard it.

Xiao Beiheng led an army of [-] to Xiliang.What is he doing here, wading in muddy water?Thinking of the relationship between him and Xiao Zhuo, Shen Yuexi felt uneasy.

I always feel that it's okay for him to come.

Qiu Liming turned his head and whispered to Shen Yuexi: "Madam, Zhao Mu and King Qi have a good relationship, and they should be trying to please the prince."

Shen Yuexi felt upset, and asked, "Is there not much food and grass in the border reserves, and Xiao Beiheng has to be specially supplied."

She is here to worry about the food and drink of thousands of people.Xiao Beiheng is so nice, the [-]-strong army is always served by someone along the way.

"There has always been no war at the border, and the food and grass should be enough for several years." Qiu Liming replied in a low voice, then raised his head and said, "General Wei, you also know that the outside of the pass has been plundered by the Western Rong. If these five thousand captives are taken into the pass, they will be considered generals One piece of credit."

The square-faced general chuckled: "General Qiu, you are joking. You won the battle at the Langya Pass, and this credit cannot be credited to Mr. Wei. Besides, it has nothing to do with the imperial court when the Xiliang cavalry defeated Xirong. The attitude of the King of Xiliang. Why not send these captives to the King of Xiliang."

Shen Yuexi could tell that the implication was that if you won the battle, it would not count as a military exploit in the imperial court.General Wei's soldiers here will block the water and cover them with soil, and he will definitely not accept these five thousand prisoners.

"It's really not allowed to enter the customs, can you borrow some food and grass, and return it to him in the future?" Shen Yuexi made another suggestion.

"I'm afraid it won't work," Qiu Liming said. "The border commander won't allow us to use food and grass. If he uses it, it will be a violation of the military order. Madam doesn't know something, and the military order is like a mountain."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Qiu Liming hesitated for a moment, and said: "Madam said yes, I will try."

He was about to raise his head to ask again, but General Wei didn't let him speak, and said first: "General Qiu, these Xirong people are not the people of Dayan, even if they are all dead, so what. You were in Tai... Xiao Zhuo's traitor back then." His subordinates often murder soldiers. How did it become like this now?"

This person dared to call her husband a traitor.

Shen Yuexi couldn't help shouting:

"General Wei, these Xirong people have put down their arms and are no longer an enemy of Dayan. Don't they deserve to live?"

The square-faced general snorted, "Who is this woman?"
