In the thirtieth year of the Dragon Dynasty, the fifth day of the fourth month.

The emperor's family canonized wine as a general and rewarded 3,000 households. Ordered him to lead the emperor to ride 3,000 elite horses, go south out of the emperor's city, and join the 5,000 defenders of Yunyun Tai in Huadu Prefecture, a total of 8,000 people, to fight Wuyue Kingdom in the south and recover the lost land in Huadu Prefecture.

The wine refuses to be sealed, and is willing to take the body of Bai Ding to stop the disaster of the south. The emperor was helpless and agreed.

The next day, the hour.

Mr. then led the iron horse, out of the Arc de Triomphe, day and night, to Huadu Prefecture.

"Childe, Childe!" A green dress rushed out of the city, but she still couldn't catch up, and the girl looked at the back of the army Xiao Xiao in the distance, and a tear flashed in her eyes.

But in the distance, someone is still in a green shirt, riding a white horse, with a majestic back, elegant and comfortable. The man looked back and waved at her, and the girl grinned at the corner of her mouth and chased after her.

Seeing this, the young man in white on the side stepped forward and grabbed the girl, she didn't cry, she hurriedly got up, patted the dust on her sleeve, and continued to run.

"Let's go back!" A shout came from a hundred feet away, "Brother Hanyu, take care of Lu'er for me!"

The man in the green shirt waved his hand and instructed in the distance.

"Childe, I'll wait for you to come back!" Lu'er stood up straight, craned her neck and shouted, she kept laughing, but her eyes were already ruddy, looking at the galloping army, the person was no longer visible as far as the eye could see, leaving the dust in the sky.

"Silly girl, go back!" Hanyu stepped forward and stroked the girl's head, with a warm smile on her face.

"Brother Hanyu, when will my son-in-law come back again!" the girl asked with a pair of watery eyes, staring at the young man who was a head taller than herself.

"Do you see that farmland!" Han Yu smiled and pointed to a mulberry field that had just been ploughed in the spring, "When the ears are yellow, the wine brother will definitely return triumphantly!"

The man comforted the girl, looking into the distance, his eyes full of certainty—he was comforting himself.

The girl looked at the green wheat field in the distance and was stunned, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more cheerful, and she whispered to herself: "Ears of wheat, you need to grow ...... quickly."

Looking at the girl's face full of longing, Han Yu had a worry in his heart, and he frowned. Maybe the girl doesn't know, but she knows it very well - this time she went south to Wuyue, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious.

If you go south, you will face the entire Wuyue Kingdom, although the Wuyue army has not moved at present, and the emperor is only disturbed by the two border counties. However, the emperor did not want a full-scale war between the two countries, so he did not plan to devote the strength of the whole country to the south, and this time the army was intended to regain the lost territory. But if Wuyue Kingdom is ambitious and raises troops north, I am afraid that the three thousand iron cavalry led by Brother Jiu will be swallowed up in a snap of a finger under the vast army of Wuyue Kingdom.

In the thirtieth year of the Dragon Yuan, Lixia.

Huadu Prefecture, Dian Yun County.

The army marched for twelve days and traveled three thousand miles. The scene is far more tragic than imagined, since the army entered Huadu Prefecture, everyone has witnessed too many displaced people, they are not clothed, hungry, and the old and young have fled.

Along the way, most of those refugees staggered by with long hair, and the fleeing people poured onto the official road, as far as the eye could see, crowded with people, and the darkness was overwhelming.

When I entered the territory of Yunyun County, I saw that it was extremely desolate, the village was silent, the houses collapsed, there was not even any living creature in the place where I passed, the doors of every house were open, the houses were empty, dusty, and the houses were covered with cobwebs.

In the lush forest, lush foliage blocks the sunlight, and occasionally a few rays of sunlight shine through the overlapping shrubs and leaves.

After entering the summer, the south is particularly humid and hot, a group of people ride horses, difficult to walk through a path that disappears from time to time, in the distance is a small city with ruins and broken walls, if it is not for a few broken "emperor" flags at the head of the city, it is difficult to imagine this purgatory on earth, is the border town of green mountains and green waters in the past.

"Sir, ahead is the county town of Dianyun!" a rough man in silver armor whipped his horsewhip and galloped towards a military flag in the queue, and the big red cloak fluttering behind him, he pointed in the direction of the small city not far away.

"It seems that it will be three days earlier than I expected!" The man on the white horse had long since lost his former elegance and ease, he breathed a long sigh of relief, his green shirt was covered with mud, his beard was stubble, and his face was tired.

Since entering Huadu Prefecture, he has witnessed too many tragic situations with his own eyes. Therefore, he had to order the army to abandon the official road and take a shortcut in the mountains, intending to arrive at the county of Yunyun as soon as possible.

"Huo Qing, order the whole army to rest on the spot, bury the pot to cook, tidy up the bags, and advance to the city at sunset. The man in the green shirt commanded a sergeant beside him, and he immediately turned over and dismounted.

"Order!" The young man was in his twenties, with good facial features, fair skin, tall and tall, wearing silver armor, wearing a silver helmet, and the heart guard on his chest was a leopard's head made of fine iron, holding a silver lance and holding a fist in salute.

The leopard riders obeyed the order, and the whole army rested in place. The leopard riders listened to the order, and the whole army rested in place......" The loud shouts gradually faded away, and the army stood in response, and the horses were neatly reined in, and then everyone also turned over and dismounted as if relieved, moving their muscles and bones.

The man in the green shirt walked to a bush, and he didn't care about any snakes, insects, scorpions and ants, so he lay down tiredly, and casually untied a wine jug hanging from his waist and drank it "Gudu, Gudu", and then wiped his mouth and took a long breath of wine.

"The gentleman ate some naan bread to satisfy his hunger. Huo Qing, who had returned from the order, walked up to the man, took out a naan from a cloth bag and handed it over.

He was not polite, sat up, took the bag cake from the young man's hand, stuffed it into his mouth and began to chew, then moved to the side, patted the grass beside him, and muttered: "Sit, sit......"

Huo Qing was also not polite, sat down beside him, took out another naan cake from the cloth bag, took a bite, and chewed dryly.

The man in the green shirt shrugged his shoulders, touched Huo Qing's arm twice, handed over the wine jug in his hand, and asked, "You also drink two sips?"

"Thanks, sir!" Huo Qing took the flask and took a sip, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said excitedly, "It's wine!"

Hearing this, the man in the green shirt was extremely embarrassed, slapped him on the head, and scolded: "You kid whisper, that's all there is left, I don't want to drink it." ”

Huo Qing grinned, nodded hurriedly, raised his hand and took two more sips, covered the wine jug with satisfaction, returned it, and asked suspiciously: "I said sir, why don't you want the emperor's reward! Hello, nothing!"

The man in the green shirt lay down towards the grass, pillowed his hands, held a grass in his mouth, crossed Erlang's legs, and said in a lazy tone: "What do you kid know, what I want to be at ease is wine, what is there to be a broken general, it can't compare to the wine you drink." ”

"I must become a general in the future! My father said, I am the hope of our Huo family, and in the future, I will lead the Huo family leopard cavalry to gallop through the northern snowfield. Huo Qing's eyes were full of longing, and he looked up at the sky.

"Your father is the Taishou of Jiuyuan in Northern Prefecture, and the general Huo Du of Zhenbei?" the man in green shirt blurted out.

"Mr. knows my father?" Huo Qing looked back at the lying man, a little surprised.

The man nodded, his tone was respectful, and said: "The general Zhenbei who galloped through the snow fields in the north back then, the world called him the gate of the northern border, and the barbarians of the Cangxue Country who killed him did not dare to set foot on the Great Wall Road for ten years, no one knows, no one knows!"

Huo Qing sighed heavily: "Hey! It's a pity that my father is old! General Tong, the commander of the Northern Border Army, was killed by gangsters again, the dragons in the northern border state of Nuoda have no leader, and my father is old, and he can no longer gallop and kill the enemy like he used to, and I am an eight-foot man, who has no skills, and I can't worry about my father......"

When he spoke, in that short moment, his face was full of self-reproach.

He patted Huo Qing's shoulder, his face suddenly became solemn, his eyes were resolute, and he said: "This time to conquer Wuyue Kingdom, Jiu will definitely do his best to help you make contributions!"

"Huo Qing has thanked Mr., he will definitely not disappoint Mr!" Huo Qing trembled when he heard this, the iron scales on the silver armor shone in the sun, he clenched his fists heavily, got up and knelt on one knee.

"You kid, don't come with me, I can't see this!" The man in the green shirt raised his foot with Erlang's legs crossed and kicked at Huo Qing, and in an instant, he returned to his usual free and uninhibited attitude, pillowing his hands, lying lazily on the grass and squinting to sleep.

Huo Qing was kicked like this, and fell to the ground, he got up, patted the soil on his body, flatteringly leaned up, beat the man's legs, and shouted with a smirk: "Sir!"

"Huh?"

Seeing that the man in the green shirt answered, his hands beating his legs were more diligent, and he hurriedly asked: "I, I haven't killed anyone yet......"

Huo Qing's already fair face was flushed.

"This is easy to do, when the time comes to the battlefield, take a few people from Wuyue Kingdom to practice their hands......"

"Sir!" came a burly man running from a distance, bare-chested and shouting at the top of his voice, "Sir, there is a brook over there." ”

"Oh!" the man in the green shirt sat up suddenly, his eyes flashed, he twisted his neck, and he was covered in stinky sweat, very awkward. After days of hurrying, coupled with the humidity and heat in the south, he had long wanted to take a good bath, "Let's go, take me there, take a shower today." ”

The man in the green shirt hurriedly got up and patted Huo Qing on the shoulder: "Let's go, take a bath." ”

After speaking, the man in the green shirt walked quickly to the shirtless man and said lightly: "Ma Wu, you lead the way in front." ”

Ma Wu nodded and led the two of them towards the forest.

A group of three people walked through the dense forests of southern Xinjiang, and along the way, Huo Qing glanced around vigilantly.

Under the sunset, a few strange insect chirpings sounded from time to time, the ground was covered with unnamed exotic flowers and plants, and occasionally there were a few "rustling" sounds in the woods in the distance.

The vines in the forest coiled with small purple flowers on the vines, butterflies flapping their wings fluttering, and the sound of gurgling water could be faintly heard in the distance.

After another hundred steps, the vision gradually became clearer, and suddenly a few hares jumped by and disappeared under their feet. At the end of the bush is a stream several meters wide, the riverbed is covered with large and small pebbles, the stream is not covered by the leaves, the whole is exposed to the sunset, the clear stream reflects the sun's rays, and the water surface shines with a beautiful golden light, like a jade belt, coiled in the reckless dense forest.

A few people chatted all the way to the stream. In the distance, I saw a few shirtless young men surrounding a low-lying area, building a dam with pebbles from the bottom of the river.

"What are you doing?" Huo Qing looked at the group of soldiers in confusion and roared.

Several young soldiers hurriedly turned around when they heard the sound, stood straight in place and did not dare to move, and when they saw the people coming, they all hugged their fists and bowed, and said loudly in unison: "Mr. Wine, Captain Huo!"

It is recorded in "Emperor Linfu" that the army of the Emperor Linguo is composed of ten people, and the army commander is the largest; 100,000 people are the tun and the commander of the army is in charge; 1,000 people are the battalion, and there are tents for joining the army, and the left and right lieutenants are set up in the tents, with the left being the chief and the right being the auxiliary; 10,000 people are set up in the army, and the lieutenant general in the army is the head, and the staff can be set up privately, and the lieutenants under the seat are divided into departments.
