Chapter 1294 Extra Xu Sibei
Hearing that his father had disappeared at the front, Xu Sibei was more anxious than anyone else. He found his eldest brother and wanted to lead tens of thousands of Xu family soldiers south to rescue his father.
Xu Xiaobei said: "The situation on the front line is not optimistic. The Hu people are now somewhat unstable. I can't give you many troops."
Xu Sibei said, "I'm not afraid, brother. Even if you only give me 10,000 soldiers, I promise I can rescue Dad."
Xu Xiaobei knew his younger brother's temper. If he didn't agree, he might sneak away one day. It would be better to let him take the army with him. With the army's protection, it would be more secure.
nodded.
In this way, Xu Sibei led his army south, marching day and night, usually only resting for two or three hours in one place before continuing on their journey.
Fortunately, Xu's army has been dealing with the Hu people for many years, and sometimes they walk on the vast grassland for several days. This intensity of battle is not uncommon.
When they arrived in Huxi, they found that there were enemies everywhere on the outskirts. Xu Sibei led tens of thousands of troops to fight their way out and rushed into the mountains of Huxi.
He went in with great fanfare.
The purpose is very clear, which is to attract firepower so that his father will have a chance to come out.
Sure enough, when the imperial army heard that he was Xu Sibei, they increased their firepower and surrounded him. Xu Xiushan hid in the mountains like a turtle and was nowhere to be found, but they found his son.
After catching the son, he can then go back and catch the father. If he catches both father and son together, wouldn’t that be a great achievement?
It is not an exaggeration to confer titles of nobility and generalship on him.
This gave Xu Xiushan's army a chance to catch its breath.
When fighting against the Hu people, the vast grassland was exposed to the naked eye, and it was not easy for the army to hide.
But what Xu Sibei is best at is fighting this kind of covert surprise attack. He can do it in the vast grassland, let alone these ten thousand mountains.
He can hide somewhere at random. As long as he doesn't show up, no one will be able to find him.
He led the imperial army in circles in the mountains. After some time, he suddenly felt that the army behind him seemed to be much smaller, and the intensity of their pursuit was also much weaker.
He hurriedly sent scouts to inquire, and found out that Xu Anbei, the fourth son of the Xu family, had also gone into the mountains.
It is rumored that Xu Anbei is the provider of food and fodder for the Xu family army. If Xu Anbei is captured, the Xu family army will collapse.
With Xu Anbei around, who would bother to capture Xu Sibei? His importance was no greater than the other one. Therefore, within a few days, all the enemy troops surrounding him were gone.
Obviously they are all trying to take credit.
Xu Sibei felt even more depressed. It was fine to surround and attack him, but Guoguo...
She has never been to the battlefield. Now that she has entered these ten thousand mountains, does she know how to get there?
The eldest brother didn’t give him many people, so how many people could he give her now?
Faced with the pursuit and blockade of so many imperial troops, can she really escape safely from under their noses?
If she was really captured, they would suffer a huge loss. Even if he was captured, it couldn't be Guoguo who was captured.
He thought clearly and turned around to chase after her with his army. He couldn't just stand by and watch her get into trouble, he had to do something.
Xu Sibei, who had always been elusive, jumped out on his own initiative, teasing here and playing there, and in this way, he really attracted a lot of troops.
Even if he is useless and cannot be compared with Xu Anbei, he is General Xu's son after all. Capturing him can greatly undermine the morale of Xu's army and enhance our military prestige, which is also a merit.
You can't always run away. After running for a few days, you have to rush up and fight. Otherwise, if you keep slipping away from others, they will turn around and go to catch Zhou Guo.
Therefore, he would lead his army to fight against others every few days. Most of the time, it was a small-scale battle, but occasionally, when the opportunity came, he could still fight a decisive battle.
By the time there was no food left in the team and everyone was so dirty that they could not be recognized, the army of tens of thousands had already entered the mountains for three or four months.
Fortunately, at this time, it was heard that Xu Xiushan had come out of seclusion, and Xu Anbei seemed to have not been caught, so he escaped right under his nose.
Xu Sibei laughed heartily and said to everyone, "Soldiers, we've been playing in the mountains for so long, it's time to go out and stop hanging out with them!"
When they heard that they were about to leave, everyone cheered. After being in the mountains for so long, fighting so many battles and running so long, the army was already exhausted and in urgent need of rest.
It was very easy to get out. The army circled around and got out of the mountain, leaving the enemy far behind.
The first thing he did when he came out of the mountain was to rush to the camp.
He was really curious about this sister.
How could such a small person have so much power? He seemed to know everything. Even though he had never been on the battlefield, he fought like a real warrior. He could wipe out so many enemies at a very small cost. It was not something that ordinary people could do.
If you tell others that this was a battle fought by a rookie, probably no one would believe it.
There are many more things she knows.
He was able to provide disaster relief, never show weakness in the face of powerful people, dare to confront them head-on, and successfully bring them down. He then used the money he obtained to provide relief to the local people.
No one knows where she learned this trick, but it is extremely effective. It not only weakens the powerful families, but also provides relief to the people and helps them get their land back. As long as the people have land, they can live a stable life, which is especially important for the stability of the world.
The more Xu Sibei got to know Zhou Guo, the more he liked this younger sister.
She was very similar to him, truly like two siblings from the same mother. Even the point of not getting married was surprisingly consistent between them.
Unfortunately, he was a man, and the old lady forced him to get married and watch him have children, so he had no choice but to do as she said.
In fact, after getting married, Xu Sibei felt that marriage was not bad. He had a wife, a son and a daughter, and the family had a lively meal together. Unlike before, he always ate alone, facing such a large table of delicious food, and most of the time he had no appetite.
He walked to Prince Yan's Mansion. It was a cold and desolate place. There was only an old man who lived there all year round, but he was not at home every day.
He found her in the backyard, reading and drinking tea again, and couldn't help but say, "Your house is so quiet, why don't you stay with me for a few days? Or maybe I can let the children come over to your house to play for a few days?"
Zhou Guo waved his hand, "No, I have enough family members. I came to Prince Yan's Mansion to get some peace and quiet. Too many people and the constant noise gives me a headache. I'm old and can't stand the noise."
When she was young in the north, the children in the village would come to her house to play in the evening, and she didn't think it was a big deal. But now she can't stand it.
Xu Sibei thought about the scene at Zhou's house, with a bunch of children, and every word from each one of them would make a deafening noise in his ears.
Then he asked her, "Are you really not planning to have a child? Actually, it would be fine if you could have one yourself."
Zhou Guo shook his head. "Forget it. I can't raise a child well. I don't have the patience to teach him properly, so it's better for me to do it alone."
Xu Sibei's eyes rolled, "How about I give my youngest son to you for adoption?"
Zhou Guo was helpless. "Why are you like my uncle? He also wants to adopt his child to me. How come you have so many children?"
Xu Sibei smiled and said, "I'm just worried that you'll be too quiet alone and have no one to accompany you."
He stayed in Prince Yan's mansion for an entire afternoon. The brother and sister ate barbecue and drank wine. They had a carefree and comfortable life. Fortunately, he had such a sister, which made his life much more interesting.
