Chapter 117: The Infant Child Who Died (12)
"I, I'm skinny, I look younger than I really am. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The young man, no, it should be that the young man seems to have long been accustomed to other people's doubts about his age, and quickly explained.
"What's your name?" Yan Yuan asked again, and the young man lowered his head and replied, "Zhao Yu." ”
It's an elegant name, Yan Yuan said: "Zhao Yu, if you and this old man can really take us through Qianmeng Mountain, after coming back, I will give the daughter with both hands." ”
"Hey, I, I'll definitely take you through Qianmeng Mountain. Zhao Yu replied seriously. Naive, I don't look like a nineteen-year-old no matter how I look at it. Yan Yuan threw it away and ordered: "Order people to prepare food, I will select a hundred elite soldiers, and when I am full, I will immediately follow me into Qianmeng Mountain." ”
"Princess, are you going?" As soon as he heard that Yan Yuan was going to go in person, the others exploded, "I can't help it." ”
"There's nothing to do, right now Marshal Xue and General Xue are trapped in Qianmeng Mountain, I won't go, can you rescue people? "Yan Yuan can be regarded as explaining the future, of course this is not done, "Princess!"
Yan Yuan shook the knife with a slap in the eye, "You guys go in, and you can only come and go." ”
With such a sentence, they didn't dare to reply, after all, the facts are in front of them, and they are indeed inferior to Yan Yuanna.
When it came to this, no one dared to speak anymore, Yan Yuan chose a hundred people, and when he was full, he rushed straight to Qianmeng Mountain in the night.
"Qianmeng Mountain does not see the sun all day long, and I don't know that it is possible to see the stars and moon through the layers of fog. "Tonight is fifteen, the moonlight is just right, along the way, there is a little soldier whispering to Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu thought for a while and said: "Sometimes you can see faintly, but you can't see it very clearly." ”
Yan Yuan asked, "You can't see the sunlight in Qianmeng Mountain, and you can't see the stars, how do you identify the direction?"
"Trees, you see that half of them grow very well, and half of them are not very good, and the good places are the south, and the bad ones are the north. Zhao Yu took the words and replied, Yan Yuan was stunned, but he didn't expect that this Zhao Yu also knew how to distinguish the direction with trees.
"People who stay in the mountains for a long time will slowly find some patterns. The old man, who seldom spoke, smoked his cigarette stick and spoke softly. He didn't tell Yan Yuan his full name, he only said that his surname was Qiu, and everyone called him Old Man Qiu.
"That's right, thirty-six lines, and the line is the champion. Yan Yuan doesn't think that people are not worthy of respect if they are small and humble, she used to be one of the humble people, but she has always lived hard.
Everyone needs respect, and no one is born inferior, let alone destined to be noble all his life.
As soon as they entered Qianmeng Mountain, the torches in their hands were useless, and Qianmeng Mountain at night was even quieter, only listening to bursts of insects, they couldn't see it, the poisonous snakes in the darkness spit snake letters, and their eyes approached them with green light, but when they smelled the smell of their bodies, they turned around and left.
"Male yellow can repel snakes, so sprinkle some on your body. "That was when they went out, Uncle Qiu asked them to sprinkle realgar on their bodies, and they were not bitten by poisonous snakes along the way, but they were greatly relieved.
Of course, there were the snakes that had not escaped and stepped on them, but they were wearing military boots, and they were almost knee-level, and the snake bit them, but they couldn't bite them.
"Someone has been here!" Zhao Yu suddenly spoke, and then pointed to the new footprints on the ground, "Look at it." ”
Yan Yuan approached with a torch, and sure enough, he saw so many footprints on the ground, Yan Yuan said: "I remember that the military boots of the three armies are all uniformly customized, and there are marks on them?"
"The princess remembers well, the boots of the three armies are all custom-made, you see. A small general on the side showed his military boots, and Yan Yuan pointed to the ground and said, "Step on the side and take a look." ”
The young general did so, compared with the footprints on the ground, it was not the same, Yan Yuan said: "It's not our Datang people, but there are so many footprints, we must find Marshal Xue and General Xue as soon as possible." ”
"Yes!" responded in unison, and Zhao Yu and Father Qiu also showed a bit of solemnity on their faces. Yan Yuan said: "Where are you going?"
"Oh, princess, the place where these footprints go should be the top of Qianmeng Mountain, and the further you go into Qianmeng Mountain, the denser the woods become. I've only gone up halfway, and I don't dare to go any higher. Zhao Yu did not deceive others, but truthfully stated the scope of his ability.
Yan Yuan nodded, and Father Qiu said, "I hope to find the person you are looking for earlier, otherwise the deeper you go, the more dangerous it will be." ”
This kind of truth is clear, but it is difficult to find someone in such a place where you can't see your fingers, and no matter how anxious you are, you can't be in a hurry.
"Ao!" Suddenly heard a tiger roar, Yan Yuan and the others all stopped. "It's a tiger. ”
"In the middle of the night, the tiger doesn't yell for no reason, go, go in the direction of the tiger. Yan Yuan thought about it and made a decision, with the recognition of the voice, even if he couldn't see the road clearly, Yan Yuan could go in the direction of the sound.
But the closer he got, there was not only the roar of the tiger, but also the sound of fighting, "Princess, could it be Marshal Xue and General Xue." ”
"At least one of them. Yan Yuan was sure that when he walked over, under the firelight, he faintly saw a white tiger fighting with the two, at first glance, Yan Yuan called: "Marshal Xue, General Xue!"
"But Princess Changqing?" one of the two people who were fighting spoke, and someone immediately recognized the voice, "Marshal Xue, it's Marshal Xue." ”
"Exactly!" Yan Yuan also recognized it, and Xue Rengui smiled: "Princess, please rest, wait until my father and son kill this tiger." ”
I saw a cold light flashing, and two spears came out of their hands at the same time, stabbing into the tiger's chest one left and one right, and then pulled out in unison, and the tiger screamed in despair, and died of complexion.
"Marshal Xue, General Xue. Yan Yuan stepped forward, Xue Rengui and Xue Dingshan's father and son were both leaning on their guns and gasping, Xue Rengui said, "How did the princess also enter Qianmeng Mountain?"
"I came for Marshal Xue and General Xue. What about the two of their subordinates?" Just looking at their father and son, Yan Yuan always had to ask, Xue Rengui shook his head, "Qianmeng Mountain is foggy, there are many tigers, snakes and beasts, and the fifty elite soldiers I brought are gone." ”
Speaking of this, Xue Rengui couldn't stop crying, Yan Yuan wanted to be comforted, but Father Qiu said: "This place is not suitable for a long time, such a heavy smell of blood will definitely attract other fierce beasts, leave quickly." ”
Only then did Xue Rengui notice that Father Qiu and Zhao Yu, these two ordinary people-looking people, opened their mouths to ask, but Yan Yuan said, "Marshal Xue, let's go first, and then we will talk about it when we get out of Qianmeng Mountain." ”
Immediately, soldiers stepped forward to help Xue Rengui and Xue Dingshan, and Zhao Yu led the way in front, and they were ready to leave Qianmeng Mountain.
"Where to go!" There was a loud shout, the sword light and sword shadow, Yan Yuan pulled out the sword on his waist to meet it, and in an instant, the two exchanged dozens of moves, and Yan Yuan saw the person who was fighting clearly, "Female?"
"Hanjiang Guan Fan Lihua, who is coming, report your name. The woman at the other end spoke, but Yan Yuan didn't hide it, "Li Yanyuan!"
"Princess Changqing of the Tang Dynasty!" Fan Lihua said Yan Yuan's title as soon as she heard it, and Yan Yuan was also very familiar with the name Fan Lihua, it seemed that this person must have dealt with Xue Dingshan.
"Princess Changqing led troops to sneak attack my Turkic 20,000 elite soldiers, and now the Tang Dynasty is attacking my Hanjiang Pass again, since it has been encountered, then please Princess Changqing take a trip to Hanjiang Pass with me." Fan Lihua said this, Yan Yuan chuckled, "Then it depends on whether you have that ability." ”
The two armies are fighting, thinking about taking down her, who is not only half a commander, but also a princess of the Tang Dynasty, that is a normal person's idea, of course, it is also the difference between the person and the enemy.
Fan Lihua is about the same age as her, and after the two fought each other, it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, but Yan Yuan heard the movement behind him, "General Fan, if you and I continue to fight, I am afraid that I will become someone else's prey." ”
One palm and Fan Lihua's palms were on the same page, and the two separated again, Yan Yuan said: "Hurry up, the wolves are coming behind." ”
Urging everyone to run quickly, Fan Lihua was stunned, but with the strong smell of blood, Fan Lihua also knew that it would be impossible to catch Yan Yuan this time, but since this princess Changqing came to Hanjiang Pass, there will be opportunities in the future.
Fan Lihua did not linger, and quickly left Qianmeng Mountain and returned to Hanjiang Pass.
Fleeing all the way, and finally out of Qianmeng Mountain at dawn, tired of a night, but tired of the big guy, when they arrived at the city gate, Zhao Yu and Father Qiu were already directly paralyzed on the ground.
"Princess, Marshal Xue, General Xue!" As soon as they appeared, the gate of the city that had been closed was opened, and a group of people came to greet them happily......
"Hanjiang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the general who defends the city Fan Hong is a fierce general, he has 40,000 elite soldiers under his command, all of them are good at fighting, if you want to cross the Qianmeng Mountain to sneak attack Hanjiang Pass, it is not possible, but if you can't take Hanjiang Pass, it is not easy to explain!"
"Does General Xue know Fan Lihua?" Yan Yuan suddenly asked in front of the generals, and Xue Ding was stunned, "I recognize, I got lost in Qianmeng Mountain, and it was that Miss Fan who saved me." ”
Although Xue Dingshan didn't know why Fan Lihua wanted to save him, he must admit that he had received the kindness of others.
"Which of you had a friendship with General Fan?" Fan Hongnai was a general of the former Sui and later descended to the Turks. However, the Turks raised troops to invade the Tang Dynasty, and the two countries had diplomatic relations for so many years, and the Tang Dynasty attacked the city and plundered countless lands, but it stopped at the Hanjiang Pass, and the Turks had the strong pass of the Hanjiang Pass to counteract, and they would definitely march again to attack the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, if you want to strike the Turks to the end, there is no better way than for the Tang Army to attack and drive straight into the Great Tent of the Turkic Stone Kingdom.
Then the most important thing at the moment is to win the cold country.
However, the generals present were all generals who were single-handedly promoted by the first emperor when he was there, and some of them were promoted by His Majesty today.
"Tomorrow, please lead the army to attack Hanjiang Pass!" Xue Dingshan suddenly spoke, Xue Rengui said: "We have fought with Hanjiang Pass several times, and we have been defeated again and again, Ding Shan, if we are defeated again, I am afraid that the army's heart will collapse!"
"The child will definitely win, and ask the father to do it!" Xue Dingshan insisted. Yan Yuan thought about it, as if she remembered that Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua had a deep fate, victory and defeat, it was not important at the beginning, and the result was the most important.
"I think that General Xue is going, so the marshal will give him another chance. "In the end, Hanjiang Pass was not only taken by Xue Dingshan, but Fan Lihua also married Xue Dingshan, and also helped Xue Dingshan defeat the Turks, and was named the first lady of Zhenguo for his meritorious work.
After thinking about it, Yan Yuanshen thought that it was good for him not to interfere, so things would develop naturally. At present, she is at a loss for the affairs of Hanjiang Pass, so it is better to let Xue Dingshan toss.
When Yan Yuan spoke, Xue Rengui finally relented, "Okay, I'll give you 5,000 soldiers and horses tomorrow, and you go to call the battle." ”
"Thank you, father!" Xue Dingshan was overjoyed when he heard that Xue Rengui had agreed. But he is also calm, he will win this battle.
On the second day, Xue Dingshan went to call the battle, Yan Yuan sat and waited for the news, and when he heard that Xue Dingshan was victorious, Yan Yuan smiled, and then Datang and Hanjiang Pass fought, the situation changed, Datang won many battles, and with Fan Hong leading a family to descend to Datang, Hanjiang Pass was broken, and it was half a year later.
In order to express the Tang Dynasty's welcome to the surrender of Fan Hong's family, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang ordered them to return to Beijing to see the reward, and by the way, they also reminded Yan Yuan to hurry back to Beijing. Yan Yuan thought about it, Hanshan Pass didn't need her to stay anymore, it was time to go back to the capital.
Good this time, Xue Dingshan was ordered to escort Fan Hong's family and Yan Yuan back to Beijing, and seeing Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua with strong affection along the way, Yan Yuan joked: "It seems that the first thing to do when I return to Beijing, I should ask my father to marry the two of you." ”
Fan Lihua has a hearty and open-minded temperament, "If the princess is willing one day, I want to compete with the princess, but it is a pity that I failed to distinguish the victory or defeat with the princess because of the approaching wolves in Qianmeng Mountain." ”
"Has General Fan won or lost with General Xue?" Yan Yuan asked teasingly, Fan Lihua's face turned red, and Yan Yuan said: "When will General Fan be able to defeat General Xue, you and I will compete again, General Xue is my defeated general." ”
"Exactly, the princess is strong in martial arts, and she is willing to bow to the wind!" Xue Dingshan was convinced, Yan Yuan smiled and left, being a light bulb is very disliked, so ah, people should be more conscious.
"You and I are famous, and we are diligent and hard-working, so we have this martial arts, the princess is the beloved daughter of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, how can Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven be willing to let the princess endure hardship?" Fan Lihua was very curious about Yan Yuan, such a person who infiltrated the Turks with 500 soldiers and horses and annihilated all the 20,000 elite soldiers of their Turks, none of the Turks did not want to defeat her, although she was a woman, she also wanted to try to see if she could win her.
"Princess Changqing has been fighting with my father for nearly four years, I have seen her hard work with my own eyes, her martial arts are strong, not what I flattered, I was no longer her opponent earlier, and now I am afraid that it is even more not. Xue Dingshan was obviously very convinced of Yan Yuan and admired it a little, so he said that he was defeated by her.
