Chapter 679: Absconding

In the chaotic times, the army is the capital to save lives. When Li Jian heard Guo Feng say that he would abandon most of the army and run away lightly, he was hesitant. The 100,000 Yulin Army and the 10,000 Modao Team were his last capital. If he lost them, he would really become a lonely man.

"Your Majesty, General Guo makes sense. If you take all the troops together, no one can leave. Weizhou will know such a large military operation. When the pursuers come out, we will spend a few days in the ice and snow, and our morale will be dispersed. Now the plan is that His Majesty can only lead an elite force to Guizhou to meet with Ye Kai. The other troops suddenly launch an attack on Weizhou City to win more time for His Majesty's strategic transfer." Li Zheng's face was gloomy and clear.

"If the attack on Weizhou is not good, it will definitely be bad. The well-prepared Weizhou City will never be able to be defeated in a short time. Uncle Wang, this is to let the soldiers die!" Li Jian shook his head and said.

"It doesn't matter if you die. The most important thing is to give Your Majesty more time to win the opportunity to retreat." Li Zhengdao, "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead a group of troops forward and join Li De. When Li Xiao was caught off guard, he suddenly attacked Weizhou, which may have a miraculous effect. Even if he can't defeat Weizhou, they can still be in chaos and they don't have time to pursue Your Majesty. As long as your Majesty arrives in Guizhou, meets with Ye Kai, and the reinforcements of the Northern Expedition Army, you will make a comeback and make a comeback."

Guo Feng watched coldly and said nothing.

"Uncle Wang's words make sense, but Uncle Wang, you can't stay. When you helped me seize the throne, the fourth brother hated you to the core. Now he is blocking his way. Once the army is defeated, Uncle Wang's life will be worrying. Uncle Wang, follow me and let Xue Linfeng stay and preside over the attack!" Li Jian said.

"Your Majesty, Xue Linfeng is loyal and reliable, but he has been promoted to General of the Yulin Army for a short time. His control over the Yulin Army is far less than me. If he stays, there may be some chaos. After all, I have been in the Yulin Army for nearly twenty years, and most of the generals from all over the country were promoted by me. With me, they dare not do anything. I have lived for more than sixty years and don't care how long I can live. As long as Your Majesty escapes danger, I will be enough."

"Uncle Wang!" Looking at Li Zheng, Li Jian felt his eyes a little wet.

"Your Majesty, let's make it this way. You will lead Xue Linfeng's 20,000 troops. In addition, the 10,000 Modao team will be transferred. The rest will be led by me and after joining Li De, they will suddenly launch an attack on Weizhou City!"

"Your Majesty has to take away all the food and grass!" Guo Feng suddenly said: "If you save a little bit, 30,000 troops can last nearly two months."

"Let's leave some food for Uncle Wang for a few days!" Li Jian sighed: "Grain is the courage in the army. Once there is no food in the army, how can it be supported?"

"Your Majesty. It's not time to go and make arrangements right away!"

Except for a very small number of senior generals, the entire army was hidden in the dark. The army was divided into two, and the large army followed Li Zheng to advance to the Forward State. Li Jian led the 20,000 Yulin Army and the 10,000 Modao Team under Xue Linfeng, quietly turned towards Guizhou.

Cao Ping soon discovered something was wrong.

The team was heading out in the dark night, and he didn't pay attention for a while, but as soon as the sky was dawn, he found that the central army he belonged to was running contrary to the destination he was about to arrive, and he was shocked.

What happened? This is not consistent with the pre-formed plan. Luo Chao was quietly executed in the army. At this time, Cao Ping was just a small captain in the Yulin Army. He didn't know that things had changed greatly. The trap they designed had been broken by Guo Feng. Now Xinmei and her two daughters are following the central army toward Guizhou.

"General, our route is wrong. Is it too much wind and snow that I am lost?" Seeing a guerrilla general along the way, Cao Ping quickly went up and asked.

This guerrilla general was not familiar with Cao Ping. In fact, Cao Ping was forced into the army when he was about to set off. He only knew that this person was very big and had a very strong background. This time he set out with the army, he was also a layer of gold for future promotion. The guerrilla general was very disgusted with this type of person, but he was unwilling to offend him. Everyone knew that these people with strong backstage were promoted very quickly, and they might become their immediate boss in two years.

"I don't know either, I just heard that the enemy has approached Weizhou. Our army is divided into two groups and is ready to attack left and right. Why do you care about so many things? Anyway, it's not our turn to charge. Just be careful of the people in your hands. They can't have any accidents."

"Yes, thank you, general, thank you!" Cao Ping repeatedly claimed thanks. Looking at the guerrilla general's back as he left, his brows frowned deeply. Something happened! He intuition told him that something must have happened. Even if he wanted to attack left and right, the route he was taking was not right now. He rode on the horse, looked around in a daze, and suddenly his body was shocked. This direction was heading towards Guizhou.

He suddenly felt cold sweat in his body and lost his opportunity! Cao Ping finally realized that Weizhou was theoretically under the control of Li Jian, and the Fourth Master's army did not appear in Weizhou at all, so he talked about attacking left and right.

The victory or defeat of the army was not the scope of Cao Ping's consideration. What he thought about was how to ensure that Princess Xinmei and the two little princesses could return to the Fourth Master smoothly. Now, there was obviously something wrong with this situation. The further away from Weizhou, the smaller the possibility of escape. Although his martial arts skills were high, it was impossible to rescue these three women who were powerless among thousands of troops.

The horse's hooves were so good in the distance. When Cao Ping looked up, his heart jumped. Where the sound of horse's hooves came, it turned out to be the imperial guards of the central army. He quickly lowered his head and retreated aside. It was Li Jian who came over.

At this time, Li Jian's annoyance was imagined. Now he finally knew that going out to Beijing was a big pit that Cao Yi and Li Xiao dug for him, but he jumped in without any sense, and even confidently jumped in. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He suddenly remembered that Xinmei and her two daughters were still in his hands. In anger, he rushed over.

"Sister-in-law, you must be very happy now, right?" Looking at the open carriage, Xinmei's thin and pale face, Li Jian looked at the other party with a sneer, "The fourth brother is now sharpening his knife in Weizhou City, and is preparing to cut me into pieces. Unfortunately, there are still loyal ministers and generals under my command, who have seen through his vicious plan. Now, we are getting further and further away from Weizhou, and we are getting further and further away from the fourth brother!"

Xinmei stared at Li Jian and said lightly: "Uncle, fighting for the world is your man's business. We are three mothers and sons, and we are locked up in the mansion all day and don't know the world's affairs. You men will naturally solve the problem of men's affairs by yourself. As the emperor, my uncle will not be too petty and scatter the anger on us weak women!"

Li Jian was speechless. No matter what, he was still a hero. He was excited by Xinmei and suddenly turned red. "Yes, I will not make things difficult for you, but it depends on what the fourth brother did. If he wants to kill all the troops, you will appear under the blade in front of the two armies. I want to see if the fourth brother will worry about you mother and daughter? Or will he shout and get a share of his pie?"

Xinmei's hand suddenly trembled. She couldn't imagine the cruelty of this scene. She didn't expect Li Jian to come up with such a vicious idea? Which one would the Fourth Master choose? Should Li Jian be released and replaced by his mother and daughter, or would he be desperate and desperate?

"Uncle, you are also a dignified Li man, so he is so despicable!" She looked at Li Jian resentfully.

Li Jian laughed, "Is the fourth brother much better than me? Brother and sister, do you know that Princess Nianyun is about to give birth to a prince for the fourth brother? You are afraid that you are no longer considering the fourth brother, hahaha!"

Amid the crazy laughter, Li Jian beat the horse away, "Look at them for me. One day, I will tie them to the three of them, mother and daughter in front of the formation. At that time, I want to see the fourth brother's face."

Looking at Li Jian's back, Xinmei closed her eyes and opened it for a while. She reached out and hugged her two scared daughters in her arms, "I won't let you do what you want. At that time, you will get the bodies of only us mother and daughter."

A day of silent march passed, and Cao Ping spent the day in anxiety. Now, every step he took would increase his difficulties and he decided not to wait any longer.

Xinmei hugged her two daughters and curled up in the tent. Looking at her two daughters sleeping soundly, Xinmei felt a burst of heartache. She took a look at her more. It’s a pity that the Fourth Master couldn’t see the appearance of his two daughters. When the Fourth Master left, Duoer had just been learning to walk, and Xiner was still in her infancy. I’m afraid that the Fourth Master would no longer remember their appearance.

The north wind was howling outside the tent, and the snow particles hit the tent, making a rustling sound, and the snow became heavier than during the day.

A crack was opened, and a black shadow flashed in, bringing a cool breeze, and Xinmei turned around suddenly.

"Princess, it's me!" the visitor whispered.

"Cao Ping?" Xinmei exclaimed. At this time, several people walked in from outside the tent and stood silently in a corner.

"Yes, princess, we can't wait any longer. Tonight, I will take the princess away!"

"How could I go out?" Xinmei said in shock.

"I have already installed dozens of good players in the army. These people are all used to protect the princess. In the original plan, the Yulin Army had another member, who would rush out of the battlefield with the princess when the chaos broke out. But now this member has been transferred away, and the whole plan has been ruined. We can only risk sneaking out of the camp. Princess, this is a set of soldier costumes. You can change it and follow us. The brothers are all ready."

"What should I do with Duoer and Xiner?" Xinmei looked at her two daughters.

"Let's carry them on their backs!" Cao Ping knelt on one knee, put Duo'er in a cloak, wrapped it up, and carried it on his back. Another person standing in the corner of the house also came over and wrapped Xin'er on his back.
