As the end of the New Year approaches, every household is becoming lively. However, the bitter and cold land in the northwest, which is far away in the northwest border and the war spreads, there is no slight sense of the New Year atmosphere.

The cold wind is bleak, the night is long, and the entire Northwest Camp is shrouded in a white world.

The patrol soldiers slashed numbly in the heavy snow that was beyond their knees.

Apart from that, the entire camp was very quiet.

The light reflected from the snow illuminated the camp slightly. On the viewing platform that was more than meter high, Yu Shaoqing finished his day's post.

Originally, after becoming a centurion, he did not need to take the post to rotate again, but this was an order issued by General Gui Delang himself.

Yu Shaoqing didn't seem to have any complaints. After explaining the observation to the soldiers who took over, he returned to his tent with expressionless expression.

As soon as I arrived at the door, a soldier from Nanying came over.

Nanying has always looked down on Beiying. Even a small post soldier often does not take the centurion of the North Camp seriously, let alone General Guidelang is still suppressing Yu Shaoqing everywhere. The post soldier is willing to come over to say something to him, which is considered a rare thing.

"You are Yu Shaoqing?" The post soldier said with no eyes.

Yu Shaoqing is above him. Logically, he had to call the Centurion in a regular manner and call him the title directly, which was a crime.

If this is spread...

So what if it spreads?

With Gui Delang general suppressing him, can the people who bully Yu Shaoqing be unable to take advantage of him?

"What's the matter?" Yu Shaoqing asked calmly.

The post soldier curled his lips and looked at Yu Shaoqing: "If you have something, you come from Lianhua Town, hurry up and go to Nanying to get it."

Yu Shaoqing's eyes paused, as if they were a little unbelievable, but he didn't say anything, and went to Nanying with the post soldiers and brought his things back.

There were two jars of food, the small jar was pickled, and the large jar was meatballs and big cakes.

What comes from Lianhua Town is naturally sent by your family.

Yu Shaoqing touched the cold jar with both hands, and his expression was still a little incredible.

After Wu San finished patrol, he came to Yu Shaoqing's tent as usual. He was not here to eat freely today, but to bring wine to Yu Shaoqing.

Isn’t it almost the New Year? He asked someone to buy a pot of wine from outside and planned to spend New Year’s Eve with Yu Shaoqing.

However, when he walked in, he saw the jar on the table at a glance.

"What is this?" he asked in wonder.

Yu Shaoqing still had an ice-filled face, but the edges of his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be softer: "What I sent at home."

Wu San was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled sarcastically: "Oh, those turtle calves are not greedy for you this time? When have you become so kind? Be careful, don't you give me any medicine to you."

In the past few years in the military camp, Lao Yu has not been easy. He is a good person and has made many military achievements, but he is too stubborn and offended many people. All the letters he sent to his home were not sent out. I think his home also sent him, but he just couldn't get all of them into his hands.

Strictly speaking, this is what Lao Yutou received from his home.

"Do you believe it?"

"No, my family is illiterate."

This is what he was when he left.

Wu San was illiterate and didn't think there was anything strange about it. He walked up and looked at the things in the jar carefully. He couldn't help but scream: "So much to eat!"

There are meatballs, pickles, and big cakes!

It’s all what he and Lao Yu like to eat!

"Your family loves you so much!" Wu San said enviously and jealously, taking out a heavy cake.

Is this really a cake? OK, so heavy!

Wu San took a bite like a wolf and a tiger.

Madon, why are you so hard?

I ate another meatball.

Why does it taste so weird?

Finally, Wu San hoped for the jar of bright red pickles. He gently tore off a small piece, but after licking it, he rolled his eyes on the spot...

...

The capital city was also late at night, but the imperial study room was brightly lit.

"What did you say? The 20,000 soldiers in the Northwest Camp will be wiped out overnight? No one is alive?" The emperor sat behind the desk, put down the memorial that had just been approved, and looked at Gao Yuan in front of him and said.

Gao Yuan replied with difficulty: "Yes, there is no living."

The emperor slapped the desk and said, "Damn it! Who taught you these evil words?!"

Gao Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I... am not a witch who deceives the public. I have made great determination to risk my life to advise Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled angrily: "Okay, okay, you risk your life to give advice, then you will tell me how did you know the information that even the soldiers in the border cannot spy on it?"

Before Gao Yuan could answer, the emperor continued, "You asked me to send a 100,000 army from Tongzhou to reinforce the Northwest Camp. Have you ever thought that there is a 150,000 Xiongnu army stationed outside Tongzhou City! Hundreds of thousands of people in Tongzhou City! Do you want me to hand over the entire Tongzhou City to the Xiongnu?!"

Gao Yuan said seriously: "The military report was wrong. There was never a 150,000 Hun army outside Tongzhou City. The army went to the Northwest Camp. They had the idea of ​​getting the food and supplies in the camp!"

As soon as the Huns entered winter, there was a shortage of supplies, and all the food, grass and military pay was robbed.

The Northwest Daxing is rich in supplies and is indeed easy to become fat in the eyes of the Huns.

But what Gao Yuan could have imagined was that the general in the camp could not have imagined? The defense had been strengthened, making the entire camp solid.

Moreover, they spyed on military information and learned that the Huns had set up camp and went outside Tongzhou City. If nothing unexpected happened, they would launch an attack on Tongzhou on New Year's Eve.

Gao Yuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, everything I say is true!"

The emperor snorted coldly: "Then honestly answer me, where did you spy on the military information?"

Gao Yuan lowered his eyes and sweat dripped from his forehead: "I am not spying on it...I am...I am watching the star sign at night..."

The emperor interrupted him angrily: "You are a priest! You are going to the Imperial College, not the Imperial College! You are still watching the star signs at night! I have summoned you back to Beijing to help the country, not to exaggerate you and disrupt the morale of the army!"

"His Majesty……"

The emperor suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Or... you colluded with the Huns, and these military information were told by the Huns? I remembered that your nephew seems to be half a Hun."

"Your Majesty!" Gao Yuan's body shook and he raised his head suddenly!

The emperor brushed his wide sleeves and said with a cold expression: "Come on, take Gao Yuan to prison and wait for the death toll!"

...

In the cold dungeon, Gao Yuan fell into a dream again.

He dreamed that he was standing on the walls of Tongzhou, looking into the snowy distance.

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped over.

Carrying a man immediately.

The man was carrying many arrows, as if he was seriously injured, and lay on the horse's back dying, as if he might fall down at any time.

It was only when he got closer that Gao Yuan saw clearly that he did not carry so many arrows, but was hit by so many arrows. He was almost shot into a hedgehog. Ordinary people were so injured that they died long ago. He had to survive until now with a sense of obsession.

He sent the last and most important military information.

But he failed to see Tongzhou, which he saved with his own eyes.

Gao Yuan closed the eyes that were gradually losing their luster with his own hands, took off the iron plate on his neck, wiped the blood and took a look--

The commander of thousands, Yu Shaoqing.
