Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 362 Northern Army Attack
The Xirong and Xiliang coalition forces rode first to the north and then to the west. After chasing for a whole day, they joined Xiao Zhuo's army ten miles west of Shengjing.

It began to snow at noon, and the coalition forces rushed on their way against the wind and snow.When Shen Yuexi entered the camp of Wang An's army, the snow on the ground covered the horse's hooves.A group of sergeants passed by her holding dry firewood, nodded to her, and then walked towards the blazing bonfire in the distance.

"It's really cold," Shen Yuexi put her cold hands around her mouth, breathed out, and jumped off the horse with one leg.Someone nearby came to take the horse away. Not far away, Yang Cong and Xia Lan saw her and ran over immediately.

"Mistress, the lord is just meeting with the envoys from the capital, and we can't escape. Let us pick you up first." Yang Cong reached out to pat the snow off Shen Yuexi's shoulder, "Look at the heavy snow... hurry up and rest in the tent."

Xia Lan was holding the hand warmer all the time, and handed it over, "The chicken soup stewed for you by the lord himself has been simmering on the stove."

Shen Yuexi grinned, thinking why it's chicken soup again.She took the hand warmer and held it in her hand and said, "Yang Cong, you just said the envoy from the capital, how could there be an envoy from the capital?"

Yang Cong said: "I don't know too well, I only know that they are from the capital."

Seeing that Yang Cong didn't know, Shen Yuexi didn't ask, Xiao Zhuo just asked him when he was done with his work.She said to Xia Lan, "Xia Lan, is there a lot of chicken soup?"

"Many, my lord has stewed a whole old hen, and the meat has been stewed."

"Then go and call the two older sisters. They are also very cold. We ate some bread on the way. Let's drink together."

Xiao Zhuo had already built empty camps for both the Xirong Army and the Xiliang Army beside the big camp. Before entering the camp, Mei Dai and Shen Lan went to arrange for the two teams to set up camp, and did not come with her.Anyway, she was tired of drinking chicken soup, so she called them over to have a drink together.

Xia Lan nodded in agreement, walked around Shen Yuexi, and asked, "Master, where is Liuli?"

"Here, it's not." Shen Yuexi raised her chest, and the parrot Liuli poked her head out from the blanket around her chest.

Liuli's neck was as bald as an ostrich. She was afraid that the snow would freeze the bird to death, so she wrapped a piece of felt around her chest to keep the parrot warm.Liuli is very sensible, and seems to know that it is so warm, and has never been tossed all the way.

"Oh, you dare to put such a big bird in your arms, who is the master," Xia Lan exclaimed, "Its claws are so sharp, what if it kicks the child."

"Liuli is very obedient... Grab it gently, otherwise it will twist the back of your hand, which will hurt more than a pheasant."

Xia Lan stretched out her hand to hold Liuli out, and took a step ahead to take Liuli to the nearby tent to feed.

Shen Yuexi stood at the entrance of the camp. Yang Cong helped her take off her hood and cloak, shook off the snow on the cloak, and said, "Mistress, you go in and have a warm fire in front of the charcoal basin. I'll go and tell the lord that you are back."

"Don't disturb him," Shen Yuexi jumped twice, shook the snow off her feet, opened the thick cotton curtain to enter the tent, and sat down in front of the red-hot charcoal basin. Give me a bowl of soup to drink to warm my belly."

Now that the two armies are at war, Xiao Zhuo is fighting Xiao Beiheng's 7 troops with 30 people. In her opinion, it is ignorant to pester Xiao Zhuoxiu's affection at such an important moment.She is a reasonable and virtuous wife, not just a little baby who can only be coquettish and cute.

After drinking a large bowl of chicken soup with ginger slices, my stomach immediately warmed up.She was happily picking up a soft rotten chicken wing and rubbing the meat in her mouth, when the curtain was lifted, Mei Dai and Shen Lan came in one after another.

"Sisters have worked hard, sit down and enjoy the fire," Shen Yuexi spat out the chicken bones in her mouth, and said to the maid at the door, "Go and fill two big bowls of chicken soup, remember to put more meat."

Mei Dai took off the cloak and handed it to Xia Lan, sitting opposite Shen Yuexi, said with a smile: "My sister is the hardest person, and she has to run around with her children."

"I can't help it," Shen Yuexi stroked her swollen belly, "Let me just sit here and eat soup and meat every day and be an idler, but I can't do it."

After struggling all the way, she is no longer the original her.

Mei Dai said: "Sister, this is what I admire the most about you. I didn't know that I could do this before, but it was you who inspired me, sister."

Shen Lan also sat down beside Shen Yuexi, warmed herself by the fire, and said, "The Queen said that we women must be self-reliant and we cannot make vases willingly. I asked the Queen what a vase is, and the Queen said it was a word created by my sister."

Shen Yuexi was about to drink soup when she heard this and burst out laughing.She didn't invent this word, there were many vases in her time.

"Sister, what are you doing with that prosthetic hand?"

"It's too cold to freeze, and I can't bend my fingers until the ice melts."

The maid served chicken soup, and the three chatted while drinking the soup.After talking for a while, Shen Yuexi felt sleepy and yawned.She was not physically strong, and now that she is pregnant with a child, she is more prone to sleepiness.Mei Dai and the two helped her to the bed, and she fell into a deep sleep just in time to say hello to them.

Sleeping in the dark, she felt a warm and solid body leaning against her back.In a daze, she turned over and arched into the arms of that body, and that body stepped back quickly.She drilled forward again without thinking, and her body continued to retreat.

thump!Something fell to the ground.

Shen Yuexi propped up her upper body with her elbows and opened her eyes, it turned out that Xiao Zhuo fell off the bed.Look at your position again, beside the bed.

What did you do, you actually pushed your husband out of bed again, it's a sin.

"Husband," she showed a full smile, "I...that...cough, sleep difference...I can't get over it."

"It's fine with me, as long as you don't squeeze the children." Xiao Zhuo got up slowly, dusted off the dust on his body, and went to bed again.

Shen Yuexi was also afraid of bumping into the child, so she leaned against Xiao Zhuo and leaned into his arms, took Xiao Yao's hand and placed it on her stomach: "As long as you don't press hard, you'll be fine, don't hang in the air all the time, those who don't know think it You and I are magnets of the same polarity."

"What is a homopolar magnet?" Xiao Zhuo leaned into her ear and asked, "Is it something from your world?"

"The principle of magnets is that same-sex repels and opposite-sex attracts." Shen Yuexi turned her face and looked at Xiao Zhuo with a smile. There is less energy, even though the phone is not turned off, it still needs to be charged for a few days."

"My sister told me what you did on Baixiu Mountain," Xiao Zhuo said with admiration in his tone, "When I knew that King Qianglin went down the mountain rashly and wiped out 1 people, I knew that Baixiu Mountain couldn't be held. Yes. You can decide to lead the army to retreat, instead of standing there, and you have preserved the strength of the Xirong army. I admire you very much."

"No wonder Sister Mei came to pick us up." Shen Yuexi said.

Thinking about it, Xiao Zhuo was old enough, after knowing the situation of the battle at Baixiu Mountain, he must have slipped away first, how could he just wait in place and let Xiao Beiheng follow his back.But why didn't Zhao Mu stop him?Also, judging from the meaning of the entire army, it seems that they don't plan to garrison Shengjing. This is the rhythm of retreating to Xiliang.Have to ask.

"Husband, I have two questions."

"Ok?"

"The first one is...cough, don't fumble around, can you, talk well...yes, that's good. I also know that my husband retreated in advance to prevent my younger brother from stealing the way, but why don't we Go to Shengjing, but continue to Xiliang?"

"We can't enter Shengjing," Xiao Zhuo rested his head on his elbows, and rubbed his palms on her belly, "It's an isolated city. If we enter and station ourselves, and my brother's army will surround us, the grain road to Xiliang will be cut off. The 7 of us plus the tens of thousands of people in the city will soon run out of food and grass.”

"What should I do if my brother wants to attack Shengjing? There are no defenders there."

Shen Yuexi felt a little unhappy when she thought that it was her and Xiao Zhuo's base, and it would be handed over to Xiao Beiheng in a blink of an eye.

"No, my brother's goal is to annihilate us, not occupy Shengjing. Shengjing is a dispensable goal in his eyes. Besides, the outer city of Shengjing has not been built yet, and it cannot be used for defense. I Leading the army to retreat westward, the army's food supply can always be guaranteed, food and grass are the foundation of the army's life, and must not be lost."

Only then did Shen Yuexi understand Xiao Zhuo's intentions, and was about to ask another question about Zhao Mu, Xiao Zhuo said: "You are pregnant with the baby, why don't you take a car and only ride a horse? Are there no carriages in the Xirong Army?"

Hearing Xiao Zhuo's question, Shen Yuexi immediately became upset.

"You still ask this. You think I don't want to drive. But we retreated too hastily, and there were no candles in the car. We sat in and followed into a small dark room. The windows were all sealed with nails, I think I didn't know which nail to go to after unsealing, so I had to ride Xiaobai away."

"I understand," Xiao Zhuo nodded sympathetically, "Don't be angry, it's good that you can come back safely."

"Isn't it? I'm so wronged that I can't even drive a car. Marching and fighting are very hard, and I have to compete with a broken carriage. I really can't do it. Let's not mention this, let's get down to business. We Keep retreating to the west, and my brother's 30 army will not lose half a hair. Can't go on like this forever?"

"No, what my brother has done is outrageous, it seems majestic, but it won't last long. It won't be long before the time for our two armies to fight will come."

Shen Yuexi blinked and blinked: "A decisive battle?"

Xiao Zhuo said: "Guess who sent the envoy today?"

"Who?"

"Prime Minister."

Shen Yuexi became energetic when she heard this, and she sat up and said, "Why did the prime minister contact your husband? Does your brother know that he did this?"

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly, crossed his arms behind his head, and said slowly:
"When I confronted Zhao Mu, I saw that he seemed to be coerced by his younger brother. However, there must be spies with younger brothers in Zhao Mu's army. I can't send someone to communicate with Zhao Mu. It was the envoy sent by the prime minister who told me the truth. General Mu was forced to attack us, and my younger brother threatened the lives of his wife and children. The two mutual verifications are enough to prove that this is not the opponent's plan."

"Why would the prime minister do this? Isn't he a servant of my younger brother?" Shen Yuexi asked suspiciously.

"My younger brother's method of obtaining the throne is too cruel. He can only hide it for a while, after all, paper can't cover fire. The prime minister once led the ministers to see the coffin of the father, but was stopped by Queen Pei, so they investigated privately," Xiao Zhuo looked at the top of the tent, "Although the prime minister has discovered the truth, they are all civil servants and dare not speak up. This matter can only be done by me... This is also the entrustment of my father before his death."

"My lord, there is an urgent military situation." The maid Xia Lan's voice sounded from outside the tent, "The Queen of Xiliang and the generals of the coalition army have assembled and waited in the tent."

Hearing the words "emergency military situation", Xiao Zhuo immediately turned over and got out of bed.Shen Yuexi also got out of bed, picked up the clothes and helped Xiao Zhuo dress.After Xiao Zhuo finished dressing, he pressed a kiss on her forehead and said, "You are resting in the tent, I will take care of it."

It was just past two o'clock in the morning, Shen Yuexi knew that the military situation was raging, and she would not let people come back after a rest, but fortunately she had a sleep and became more refreshed, so she sent Xiao Zhuo out of the tent.After Xiao Zhuo left, she turned her head and asked Xia Lan, "What happened?"

"General Zhao Mu seems to be imprisoned by Xiao Beiheng. Now the enemy Northern Army has changed generals and is marching towards us overnight, and will arrive tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning," Shen Yuexi murmured, "It's early morning, but there is still more than a day to deal with it."

The avenue of Baixiu Mountain has been blocked by rubble. Xiao Beiheng's southern army wants to cross Baixiu Mountain. Whether it is climbing the mountain or clearing the road, it will take a lot of time. It is unexpected that Zhao Mu's northern army will go wrong first.

The world is unpredictable, it seems that there must be a big battle under the city of Shengjing.
