Chapter 4: A Thousand Miles Away
On both sides of the main road of the capital, there are soldiers in military uniforms, holding red tassel guns, all of them with a sinister look without squinting, looking like two long dragons running through the capital from a distance, the people are crowded outside the long dragon and stretch out their heads to look in the direction of the imperial city, and then talk about each other together, some ask what is going on, why are there so many officers and soldiers!
Someone immediately explained, you don't know yet! I heard that the queen won the battle at Yanming Pass, and the emperor decided to drive the expedition in person, just today!
This person suddenly realized and said, no wonder there are so many officers and soldiers, saying that our queen is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows!
Someone immediately answered, that is, our queen is a marriage given by the first emperor, and the emperor is a match made in heaven!
Since she is so powerful, the queen must be from a famous family!
The queen is also an orphan girl who survives in the troubled times, fortunately she met the military general Si Libiao who pitied her lonely, and accepted her as a righteous daughter to teach martial arts, and later Si Libiao died to save the first emperor who was still in the king, and the first emperor pitied her and wanted to accept her as a righteous daughter, but she refused, she said, "I am willing to inherit my father's will, go on the field to kill the enemy, and calm the world", the first emperor listened to it and praised her greatly, and granted her request, and this is the first female general since the founding of our dynasty!
Everyone nodded again and again, they really didn't know that there was such an allusion in the middle!
After saying this, the person who said this withdrew from the crowd while others were not paying attention, and then went to another place, there are many people like him today, they are all the people of Duan Li's newly established Wuyi Guard, they only obey the emperor's orders, and they are the dark sword in the emperor's hands, and their first task after their establishment is to control the speech of the entire capital for their own use!
Although he doesn't care about fame, he can't let the world say that she is not, he wants her to leave a name in history, let everyone know that only she can stop his sadism, he has been trapped in a beast in his heart since Mo Yan's death, but he can't control it more and more, especially when he sees that all the people who betrayed him and hurt her are still alive, he can't bear it even more!
He wants everyone to subconsciously accept that although Mo Yan is a woman, he is not inferior to a man, and he also wants everyone to know that he values her, so that in the future, he will let her participate in court politics as a queen woman, which also makes people feel that it is natural!
Since Mo Yan became the queen, he was not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem, and he removed the military post of General Tiance and was not allowed to go to the court, and this time she was forced to lead the troops to fight against the wolf Rong!
This time he wants her to stand at the same height as himself and share the world!
The emperor's personal expedition had to go through a series of cumbersome ceremonies such as fasting, sacrificing to the sky, oathing, etc., until the time of the central day of the day, the three armies were mobilized, and they went to Yanming Pass in a mighty way!
At this time, at the Yuejun Post Station, 3,000 light cavalry came from the dust, and from a distance, they heard the forward officer shouting: "Open the stack door quickly!
They were the advance troops sent by the emperor to Yanming Pass, and they set off on the day before the imperial expedition, and they galloped without stopping for a day and a night.
The emperor ordered to arrive at Yanming Pass within five days, otherwise military law will deal with it!
As early as yesterday evening, the post man of the post station received a military order from the herald to prepare grain, grass and horses for the advance army.
After entering the station, all the horses are lined up in the paddock!
"The general has an order! Give you an hour to rest!" Gao Chenglang, the captain of the Tun Cavalry, ordered.
After Gao Chenglang looked at everyone around, he turned around and entered the middle hall of the post station, saw the post man waiting on the side, waved his hand to him, and said, "You don't need to serve here, go down!"
After only the three generals who led the army this time remained, he knelt down to the general sitting in the hall, clasped his hands into fists, and said: "Your Majesty! All the soldiers have settled down! The minister has just gone to see the horses that have been replaced in the post station, although they are a little unsatisfactory, but they are in a hurry, and they can only do this! Wait until they arrive in Huai County and then change again! "Huai County produces horses, and most of the military horses of Yu Kingdom come from Huai County!"
Duan Liwei nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Didn't you say it, you don't need to call me Your Majesty outside, just call me General!" and then pointed to the seat on the side and said, "Okay!
Duan Li left the capital with these 3,000 cavalry yesterday and went straight to Yanming Pass! He asked him to sit and wait in the capital for three days, and then slowly move forward with the troops of the imperial driver's personal expedition, always worried about the safety of Mo Yan in Yanming Pass, he really couldn't wait, so after the next court, he passed the Taiwei Qin Xiangzhong, the guard captain Hu Guang'an, the chariot general Buduan, and the Zhenbei general Xu Xin, these cronies who followed him to fight the world together to the imperial study to discuss matters!
As soon as these people heard that he wanted to take an advance force to Yanming Pass first, they naturally objected one after another, persuading him that this was too dangerous, and that as an emperor, he couldn't take such a risk!
But he couldn't stand Duan Li from insisting on his opinion, so he could only reluctantly agree in the end, but for the sake of safety, Duan Li had to conceal his identity, and he could not be the chief general who led the troops, but followed the army as a partial general!
Duan Li sat on the dragon chair and watched a few of them noisily in His Highness, saying noisily, who should lead this cavalry! Whoever has good kung fu should be added to protect himself! Whoever has a good strategy should bring it just in case! If it weren't for the rush of time, I am afraid that they would have to choose one by one if it was the 3,000 cavalry accompanying them!
As for the emperor's absence, what to do with the day after tomorrow's oath ceremony, don't worry about this, they are already familiar with this, when they fought the world together, Duan Li had a special stand-in Shadow, the Shadow is the leader of the Dark Guard Battalion, and Duan Li has seven 'eight points similar, usually protects Duan Li in secret, and when he encounters Duan Li's lack of skills, he comes out to pretend to be Duan Li to confuse everyone!
Then Bu Duan and Xu Xin quarreled because of the different candidates for the recommended generals, Xu Xin was angry, rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat him, Bu Duan saw that he did not retreat but advanced, and he fought with him!
The corners of Duan Li's mouth rarely smiled, he hadn't seen them so noisy for many years, it seemed that when he was still the son of the world, he could often see that they would fight because of a word of discord, and they would start to fight if they quarreled badly, at that time, they couldn't stop it if they wanted to, so they could only do it on the sidelines, 'Watch and wait for them to divide the winner and loser, whether it is right or wrong, the one who wins is right!
I heard that this rule was still set by Mo Yan, when she first joined the army, naturally many people were not convinced, so she said that if anyone can win her with kung fu in hand, she will listen to his strategy, otherwise she will obey her command!
I don't know how this method has prevailed among this group of high-ranking generals, and no matter whether it is right or wrong, it is right to win the war! Now when I see this scene again, I only feel like a dream!
"Okay! Stop! Let the two of them join the army!" Duan Li opened his mouth to stop, since Mo Yan left, he has never seen this scene again, Qin Xiangzhong went to the border pass, Xu Xin resigned and returned to his hometown to run a martial arts hall to teach people to practice martial arts, and there was only one step left in the court!
Bu Duan and Xu Xin stopped in disagreement, pretended to straighten their sleeves, and bowed upward: "Your Majesty is smiling!"
Duan Li only smiled silently, with remembrance in his eyes, it was so good! Back to the time when Yiqiē had not happened, he could also rewrite a different ending and pursue his lost friendship back!
An hour is not short, but for everyone who is running all the way, it is extremely short and fleeting!
General Wei Chen Rong was the main general this time, he looked at the sundial outside, got up and said to Duan Li: "General!
Duan Li nodded, immediately got up from his seat, and said, "Let's go!" After speaking, wait for Chen Rong to leave first, do all the play, he is just a partial general now!
Chen Rong hesitated and said, "The general has won a great victory at Yanming Pass, and now he is in good shape, why is the general in such a hurry!" He also saw that Duan Li had never rested all the way, and he looked haggard at this time, and he asked only when he was concerned!
Duan Lili's cuff hand paused, he lowered his head, others couldn't see his expression clearly, he suddenly raised his head and smiled at Chen Rong, and said, "You just think of me as the queen!"
Chen Rong frowned slightly, he was different from those who followed the Duan family halfway, he was the general of the Duan family, he was a few years older than Duan Li, it can be said that he watched Duan Li grow up, but this time he sent troops to Yanming Pass, he felt that Duan Li was a little different along the way, and he couldn't say what it was, in short, it was weird! Just like now, if it was in the past, Duan Li would definitely not answer like this!
He couldn't figure it out, the general was sincere to him, that is, he, an outsider, was moved when he saw it, he just wasn't moved, where could she compare to the warbler Yanyan in his harem, why didn't he like it!
Now that he says that he misses the queen, he doesn't know if he said it casually, or if he really realized it!
"I hope so!" Chen Rong finished speaking and walked out first!
Duan Li followed behind him with a little sneer, he knew that Chen Rong was doing those bastard things to him, and he was dissatisfied!
This brother, who watched him grow up since he was a child, after he put Mo Yan in prison, everyone else was indignant and assured himself that Mo Yan would not have the intention of rebellion, only he entered the palace with a gun and beat himself, scolded himself for being unconscious, and said that he would wake himself up!
It's a pity that he was not woken up by him, but continued to go his own way, and later he died to protect himself when the kings rebelled!
It's good to see him worrying about himself now!
