After a five-day township test, Sun Zhitao finally walked out of the Gongyuan. His steps were weak, his face haggard and pale, except for a pair of eyes, which shone brightly.

Mo Zhu took the Sun family to squeeze up from the crowd, helped him left and right, got into the sedan chair and went home, washed up, and fell asleep.

Second Mrs. Sun stayed by his side, only feeling that her son was getting farther and farther away from her. After returning from studying in Beijing, Sun Zhitao became more and more disliking to talk, and even she didn't know what he was thinking.

Ten days later, the list was released, and Sun Zhitao was named the top name of Jiangnan Province. The good news arrived at the Sun family, Mrs. Sun sang the Buddha's name, and the second Mrs. Sun smiled when she met people. The Sun family set up a flowing water banquet for three days and three nights, and people from all over the country came to celebrate, and those who said they were close to each other broke through the threshold.

But next year will be the Spring Festival, and it is impossible for the Sun family to let Sun Zhitao marry casually at this time. If he successfully becomes a jinshi next year, then his worth is different, and the in-laws who can climb are definitely not the same.

And the newly baked Sun Jieyuan, except for going to the Tixue Mansion for a banquet, refused to see guests the rest of the time, locked up in the study and studied hard, preparing for next year's Spring Festival.

When outsiders saw him, they praised him for not being arrogant or impatient, and he was a material that could be made. Only Mo Zhu knew best in his heart that he was just a promise to her. At present, the promise is only half fulfilled, and naturally there is no intention of feasting.

Just after the autumn season, there was urgent news at the border gate.

The grasslands of Tibet have been hit by disasters, and there is no harvest of autumn grain, and herdsmen and livestock have no grain and grass for the winter.

At the north-western border pass, it began as a small group of cavalry to harass and plunder, and gradually evolved into a large group of cavalry attacking the garrison. The Tibetan cavalry passed by, the freshly harvested autumn grain was looted, the men and children of the whole village were slaughtered, and the women were taken captive.

Zhenxi General Long Pengfei urgently shrunk the defensive line, and in order to protect the evacuated people, he pinned down the enemy on the front line, and the situation gradually became unfavorable between the battlefields.

Emperor Qinglong received the urgent report, quickly dispatched troops, appointed the veteran general Cao Mingkun as the general of Xuanwei, with Fan Bin as his deputy general, and mobilized grain and grass in the Zhan Shifu of King Qi, guaranteed the grain route, and brought 200,000 elite soldiers to rush to help.

On the eve of the departure of the army, Han Yi left the Hefeng, held a letter in his hand, and became Fan Bin's personal guard.

The border pass war is in full swing, Luoyang City spontaneously stopped drinking and feasting, marrying daughters and wives, every battle in the border pass, all affect the hearts of the people of Luoyang.

The third day of September is Xu Wanzhen's birthday, and it is also the day of her marriage.

As early as the end of spring, Mrs. Xu had an idea about Xu Wanzhen's ceremony, and she wanted to hold a good one for her. But at this moment, although her face was ruddy, she showed no sign of waking up. It was also the time of the national war, so he dispelled the idea of holding a ceremony for her.

But on this day, Mr. Ning arrived, and then Mrs. Zhuang and her two beloved daughters, the Li family of the Tu family and the Yan family, arrived one after another. Tu Fangyan was almost like dew and brought Lilly, and finally it was the decree of the Empress Dowager Xiao, who rewarded a flawless mutton fat white hosta with a white jade body.

Mrs. Xu tearfully asked Cai Si and Qingluo to help Xu Wanzhen under the recliner in the courtyard.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Changzong were the hosts, Mr. Ning was the guest, Xu Wenyu was the secretary of the begonia pattern and gold lacquer plate, and Shi Jingyu, with the assistance of Mama Zheng, pulled up the bun for Xu Wanzhen, inserted the mutton fat white hosta rewarded by the Empress Dowager Xiao, and omitted the three-plus three-bow ceremony, even if the ceremony was completed.

At night, Wen Mulan was quietly guarding under the tree, and Wu Zhengxiang really came in the night.

The war at the border is in full swing, and the responsibility on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier. After being the commander of the cavalry guard for more than a year, he hid the blood and fire on his body and became more and more unpredictable. If you don't know where he comes from, you will definitely think of him as a beautiful son in the turbid world.

came to Xu Wanzhen's bedside, kissed his haunting face, took out a carefully carved rosewood hairpin from his arms, and inserted it in her hair.

This wooden hairpin was carved by Wu Zhengxiang in his busy schedule and looking for the best rosewood. At the front end is a plum branch, and at the end is a few plum blossoms that are scattered and scattered, carved vividly, as if you can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Holding her hand, Wu Zhengxiang said in a low voice: "Wanzhen, I don't know what can compare to your nobility, and the plum blossoms may barely reach." I'll wait for you to wake up. ”

The majestic figure sitting at the head of Xu Wanzhen's bed looked at her sleeping face motionlessly. The loneliness emanating from him had formed a black hole beside him, which could swallow people up at the slightest carelessness.

Nearly 400 days and nights, waiting for her to wake up, has become Wu Zhengxiang's last obsession.

Because of this war, many marriages among the people have been affected.

On the eighth day of September, it was the day when Liu Qiran greeted him personally. coincided with this war, and Dr. Tu personally stepped in to reschedule the marriage and postpone it until May of the following year.

After a year, Liu Qiran left the Guozijian and went to the Ministry of Rites every day to order a mao, and changed his way to please Tu Manzhen.

Xu Wenmin's marriage to Zhu Yushan was originally stopped, and it was also put on state affairs and postponed to next year.

The war is still going on, and the tide of the war is changing rapidly. Even if there is a news from a fast horse, it will be a few days before the news reaches the capital, but this does not prevent the people in Beijing from paying attention to the war.

General Long's lone army was besieged in Yangling City, but he ambushed a foreign army outside, and went deep into Tubo to catch the enemy by surprise. When the besieging army heard the news, everyone was concerned about their relatives in their hometown, and the army's heart was shaken.

General Fan led 5,000 elite soldiers, each with two horses, and attacked overnight, breaking the last trace of psychological defense of the besieging army, thinking that Gao Mang's army was coming to help. The Tibetan cavalry collapsed in front of the battle, threw off their armor and fled.

General Long ordered the elite soldiers to open the city gate, and pursued with Fan Bin. went into battle with father and son soldiers, and killed the Tubo people.

After the arrival of Dingguo Gong, he re-armed, pointing his sword at Tibet, wanting to avenge the robbery and slaughter of Gaomang's people. He used his troops steadily, commanded Ruo Ding, divided into several groups of cavalry, drove the main force of Tubo together, and launched a decisive battle on the grassland.

In this battle, only the heavens and the earth were killed, and the blood flowed like a river. The killing of Gao Mang's soldiers was so fierce that the Tubo people lost their souls and broke their guts, and handed over the surrender letter to beg for surrender.

This battle, which established Gao Mang's sovereignty over Tibet, lasted four months.

There were more than 200,000 young and middle-aged people in Tubo, and in the end, only more than 40,000 remnants were left. The Gaomang Dynasty also paid the price of more than 100,000 soldiers at the border pass, and finally triumphed in blood.

In this battle, in addition to Cao Mingkun, who was strategizing, and Long Pengfei, who led his troops to kill in front, several new stars were rising, exuding dazzling light.

They are, Long Zixiao, the eldest son of Long Pengfei, who led the foreign army deep into Tibet, Fan Bin, who led the elite troops to a long-distance attack to relieve the siege of Yangling City, and Han Yi, the archer who killed the commander of Tubo with an arrow among the ten thousand troops.

In the early winter, the triumphant army escorted the captives and brought the envoys sent by Tibet to beg for surrender, and entered the capital in a mighty way. Thousands of people in Luoyang City were empty, and the people welcomed them, and Emperor Qinglong led hundreds of officials to welcome them outside the Dingding Gate.

The crown prince and the king of Qi stood side by side in the welcoming procession, the two of them smiled kindly, but their eyes turned into sharp blades, eager to stab each other three times and six holes.

This battle lasted for more than four months. The confrontation between them has also lasted for more than four months.
