At the end of March of the year of Xin Chou, the palace of Ming County, Weiguo——

Helian Jialu walked into the study of Helian Bin, the king of Mingjun, Helian Bin saw Helian Jialu and beckoned:

"It came at the right time. Have you packed up your www.biquge.info things? ”

"Well, it's all packed." Helian Jialu has always been optimistic, but this time she rarely showed a worried expression and said, "Dad, must I go on this trip?" ”

"The two princesses are married, and the children of the princes and nobles of all tribes are invited, and the emperor's will naturally cannot be violated. But there is no need to worry, if it weren't for the fear of our Helian family, the emperor would not have sent a messenger to pick it up alone. Therefore, although you are free on this trip, the courtesy of the entire royal family must be excellent. ”

"But I'm in Vidu, and if something happens, I'm going to be a bargaining chip for others to blackmail my father. Will Daddy and Tuba Shibo's plans be thwarted by this? ”

"At the moment of the war, in order to contain and deploy the combat strength of the Helian family, at least before the battle situation is clear, no one in the court will rush at you. Besides, with the Three Princes here, I believe he has the ability to keep you safe. The Helian family and the Tuoba family have been dormant for many years, and it is imperative that once we ensure your safety, we can give it a go. ”

"This time there is no Guan Shu to accompany me...... Helian Jialu paused, and then said, "Yelu also has to stay behind because of the emperor's order. I'm left to fend for myself, right? ”

"Dad asks you, how is the gap between your martial arts and Yelu's book?"

"I'm going to fight him, and I'm going to lose in less than half an hour."

"What about Jerod and the rut?"

"That should be the other way around, Brother Zhe won't be able to win Yelu in less than half an hour."

"Well, this trip to the Victoria Capital, although Shu'er and Yelu can't go together, but Dad can find someone who can win the battle within half an hour to follow and protect you along the way, you may be relieved?"

"Do we have such a person in the Mingjun Palace?"

"As he spoke, he came." Helian Bin said, his eyes on the figure of a person at the door of the study.

Helian Jialu turned around and saw the face of the person who came, and felt a kind of déjà vu, but for a moment he could not remember where he had seen this man.

"The county lord attended my wedding six years ago, but he was still young at that time, and I am afraid that he has forgotten it." The man said with a light smile on his face.

"Let me introduce you." Helian Bin nodded to the man, and then said to Helian Jialu, "This is your Tuoba Shibo's fast son-in-law and Tuoba Hua's husband. ”

"It turned out to be Sister Hua's husband...... Helian Jialu was halfway through his words, suddenly remembered something, and said in an inexact tone, "Empty Lin...... There was once a cavalry lieutenant in the lonely country whose name was Konglin, could it be you? ”

"Exactly." Kong Lin nodded and replied.

"Then you are the person Chan'er has been looking for. Although I don't know exactly why, I know that she is always concerned about your safety and the safety of your brothers. As Helian Jialu spoke, her eyes turned to Helian Bin, "Dad, you should remember that Chan'er also asked us to help her keep an eye on finding someone." ”

"I know." Helian Bin looked at Helian Jia's puzzled gaze, and then said, "It was your aunt who left a legacy to the six people of Konglin, and they had a mission to do, so they have been incognito for many years. In the past few years, Kong Lin has actually been by his father's side to help, Yelu is 'bright', and he is 'dark'. ”

"You are Sister Hua's husband, and Chan'er is the person who regards her as her brother, I will call you 'Brother Lin'." Helian Jialu met Kong Lin's gaze and said, "When do you plan to go back to Prince Gong's Mansion to see Chan'er?" ”

"The day of reunion......" Kong Lin's eyes revealed a touch of nostalgia, and he pondered for a moment and said softly, "It's close." ”

Among the five countries, the United States has always been known for its iron horsemen and strong bows, and is a well-deserved military power. In recent years, the isolated country and the Yi country have been in a state of war all year round, and their military strength has been significantly improved under the tempering of actual combat, but it is still difficult to rank on the same level if compared with the peacekeeping state under its heyday.

However, thanks to the suppression of the Tuoba family by the Emperor of the Wei Kingdom and the defense of the Helian family, on the one hand, the military and horse establishment of the two families was greatly reduced, and on the other hand, the two families each hid part of their combat power, and now the number of troops available for combat on the surface of the Wei Kingdom has shrunk sharply in both quantity and quality. The sum of the four battalions under the direct command of the royal family - the infantry battalion, the cavalry battalion, the bow battalion, and the Shenji battalion is only equivalent to two-thirds of the combat power of the entire country in its heyday, which makes the country fall to a military level comparable to that of a lonely country.

The current commanders of the four battalions of the infantry battalion, the cavalry battalion, the bow and arrow battalion, and the Shenji battalion are Marshal Feng Dan, the general Yu Guanguan of Bi Yao, the heir of the bow and arrow family, He Qimad, and the envoy Zhan Peng.

Marshal Feng Dan is over sixty years old, and the sword is not old, and he has rich battlefield experience, and the feats he has always received are as numerous as the scars on his body.

Yu Guanguan, the general of Bi Yao, is the youngest, only nineteen years old this year, because his father died in battle, his son inherited his father's business, and he was awarded the post of captain of the capital, and a year ago at the age of eighteen he only wiped out tens of thousands of people of a clan with more than 1,000 horsemen and horses.

The head of the bow and arrow family, Gongye Bu, is crazy, twenty-two years old, the skills of the bow and arrow are all passed down by Gongye Bu, and it is even more rare to have a very high martial arts talent, and his skills can be ranked among the best among masters such as Blocking Ruts and Guan Shu.

Zhan Peng is around thirty years old, and his other identity is the county lord of Mohami, the daughter of the eldest princess of the Victorian Kingdom, and the county lord of Moha can be called the uncle of the emperor.

According to the usual practice, the Shenji battalion usually cooperates with the infantry battalion to go out, and uses strong crossbows and artillery to make up for the shortcomings of the infantry battalion's slow action and lack of lethality; The Archery Battalion provided the cavalry battalion with the equipment it needed to display the strength of the steppe cavalry.

This time, the army moved south, and the emperor ordered the infantry battalion and the Shenji battalion to fight against the army led by Wang Yuanhan, the king of Guguofu, on the eastern battlefield, and the attack and defense were mixed; He also assigned a cavalry battalion and an archery battalion to engage the lonely country in the western battlefield against the lonely country of Yinchenxuan, giving full play to the agility of the cavalry and looking for a breakthrough point in the attack.

One day in early April, in the meeting of the Emperor of the United States and his ministers, the commanders of various armies and horses were reporting the battle situation to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, since the start of the war, the people of the Lonely Country Hidden Dust Xuan have lived in the hills, and they have never faced it head-on after hiding behind the natural barrier. The last general ordered the soldiers to beat drums and shout, and used the method of verbal agitation, which could only lead to three or five people in Yinchenxuan at a time, but fortunately, most of them won in the battle, which greatly boosted the morale of our army. It's just that if you don't want to come up with a good plan, the battle situation may fall into a stalemate. Yu Guanguan, the general of Bi Yao, said respectfully to Emperor Xian.

"I know that you are good at close combat, and now you are quite disadvantageous in long-range combat, but the bow and arrow family has countless bows and arrows, haven't you tried to attack from afar?" Emperor Xian leaned forward slightly, and said with half-squinted eyes.

"Hidden Dust Xuan is really cunning, keeping a distance from us just outside the range of the bow and arrow, and when the general approaches, he retreats and sets a trap to wait for our army to enter. Fortunately, with the blessing of the emperor, our army finally has no danger every time, but the gap between the two armies still cannot be narrowed. ”

"Insufficient range of bows and arrows?" Emperor Xian remembered something, frowned and looked at Gongye Bu, the head of the bow and arrow family, and said solemnly, "I remember that this problem was reported by a sergeant a few years ago, and the Gongye family also promised to solve this problem, but now the situation has not progressed, how should Mr. Gongye explain this?" ”

Because the emperor's sons had followed Gongye cloth to learn archery skills when they were young, the emperor granted Gongye cloth a fictitious title, and over the years, the emperor's father and son have used the title of "Mr. Gongye" to show respect.

At this moment, hearing that the emperor was responsible, Gong Yebu hurriedly lowered his head and replied:

"Back to the emperor, the original bow and arrow range is about 30 zhang, after improvement, the current range can be close to 50 zhang, I don't want to still be useless. It was the minister who lived up to the emperor's expectations, and the minister was terrified. ”

Emperor Xian ignored what Gongye Bu said, but turned his gaze to look at Zhan Peng, the envoy of the scripture, and asked:

"What is the range of the bow and crossbow of the strong crossbow battalion under the command of the Shenji Battalion?"

"Back to the emperor, the most sophisticated bow and crossbow in the strong crossbow battalion can have a range of up to eighty zhang." Zhan Peng replied with a smug expression.

"It seems that everything has its deadline, and after a long time, if you can't keep up with the pace of demand, it will no longer be an irreplaceable ......"

Hearing that the emperor's words revealed his dissatisfaction with the bow and arrow family, the Gongye cloth disciple, who was the owner of the bow and arrow camp, couldn't help but speak:

"Your Majesty, the minister asks for atonement."

"Oh......" Emperor Xian's eyes flashed, and he said, "What are your sins, and how do you plan to atone for them?" ”

"As the owner of the bow and arrow battalion, the minister failed to assist General Yu in breaking the deadlock on the battlefield, and he was responsible for his duties. At the same time, in a family of archers and arrows, it is not modest to say that the minister is worthy of the leader of the younger generation, but he failed to relieve the worries of the emperor and the master, which is the second crime. Since the range of the bow and arrow could no longer be extended for a short time, the minister planned to lure the enemy out of the battle so that the enemy could step into the range of the bow and arrow on his own. ”

"General Bi Yao has done this before, but the effect is not significant, do you have specific ideas?"

"In terms of fighting and marching strategy, the minister is far inferior to General Yu. However, there is one thing, General Yu is not as good as a minister, and this is the best bait for the enemy. ”

"You're talking about ......"

"The minister's martial arts are above General Yu."

"On the battlefield, how to be brave!"

According to the minister's understanding of Yinchen Xuan, everyone in the Xuan has always valued righteousness, if one person is injured, the rest will definitely compete to seek justice for him. The number of ministers' martial arts paths, no one in Yinchen Xuan is familiar with, so the minister is confident that he will attack them by surprise and find a breakthrough. After that, General Yu can look for opportunities to make a move, and it may not be difficult to defeat the enemy army. ”

"You're pretty confident."

"In front of the emperor, the ministers didn't dare to hold on to the emperor, but they were eager to atone for their sins, hoping that the emperor would be fulfilled and sent his ministers to the battlefield."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. It is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and you will set out today for ten days, and if there is no good news after ten days, I will settle accounts with you. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Commanded. ”

"Your Majesty, the last general will return to the battlefield with Lord He." Yu Guanguan said.

"Wait, I still have something to tell you." Emperor Xian stopped Yu Guanguan with words, looked around and said, "General Yao Yao, Marshal Feng, and Zhan Peng stay, and the rest of them retreat." ”

"The minister retired." When Gongye Bu, He Qiqi and others heard this, they saluted Emperor Xian and retreated.

"The western battlefield is already tricky against Hidden Dust Xuan, and presumably the eastern battlefield is also difficult against King Fu." Emperor Xian's judgment of the situation was accurate.

"The minister asks the emperor to delay for some time, and the minister is fighting for this old ......life," Marshal Feng Dan hurriedly said.

However, Emperor Xian waved his hand at Feng Dan, signaling that he didn't need to say much, and then said:

"I didn't expect a breakthrough on the eastern battlefield anytime soon. I have other plans for staying here. ”

"I don't know what the emperor said?" Zhan Peng asked.

"My disappointment in the bow and arrow family is not a day or two, how crazy I am today, I will take the initiative to ask for help, if the situation does not change, I will have to consider the value of the existence of the bow and arrow camp after all."

"The emperor means ......" Yu Guanguan looked stunned.

"That's what I mean." Emperor Xian didn't say it explicitly, but the implication of his words was already clear to Yu Guanguan, Feng Dan and Zhan Peng.

After a pause, the Emperor said:

"The Lord of Jialu of the Ming County Mansion is about to arrive in the city in the near future, and the Helian family is a reserve force, and I will consider when to use it. If the Helian family's men and horses are easy to use, maybe I can expand the cavalry battalion to two, and the three of you have a bottom in your hearts about this matter. ”

"Yes."

After Yu Guanguan left the imperial city, he walked out of the south gate of Weidu and rode all the way, wanting to catch up with the first step to the border battlefield. When the man and the horse reached a forest on the outskirts of Weidu, three feathered arrows suddenly shot through the void about a foot away in front of him.

"Who's in the way?" Yu Guanguan stared in the direction where the feather arrow was fired, and his gaze immediately fixed on the branch of a big tree, only to see a shadow standing on the branch.

"You're the general of Bi Yao, Yu Guan?" The woman condescendingly looked at Yu Champion.

"The girl knows my identity and dares to stop my horse, but she knows that the military situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you delay a major event, you can't afford to be responsible!"

"I see that you and I are only the same age, but you look like an elder reprimanding a young man." The woman's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but after all, she knew that she was wrong, so she softened her voice and said, "I was in a hurry just now, so I made this decision, and the general forgive me." ”

"What's the girl's urgency?" Yu Guanguan's attitude has also improved.

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My father is the head of the bow and arrow family, and I am Gongye Huanhuan. ”

"It turned out to be the pearl of Mr. Gongye's palm. What does Miss Huan Huan have to teach her? ”

"My father and my senior brother met the emperor together, but when they came back, they were just alone, and I heard that my senior brother invited him to the battlefield."

"What do you mean? Exactly. I'm chasing him, too, and I don't want to be stopped by you. ”

"Huan Huan has a request, and I hope the general will agree."

"What request?"

"Please allow me to accompany you, General."

"It's absolutely impossible." Yu Guanguan said in an undoubted tone, "Fighting is not child's play, and there has never been a precedent for a woman to go to the battlefield in my dynasty." ”

"I know you won't agree, so I deliberately brought men's clothes, can't I dress up as a man?" Gongye Huanhuan saw that Yu Guanguan was about to veto again, so she hurriedly prayed and begged, "General, please, I won't cause trouble for you." ”

"Then you'll have to give me a reason."

"I ......," Gongye Huanhuan bit her lower lip and snorted, "I'm worried about my senior brother's safety." ”

"Where is love...... Yu Guanguan smiled kindly and said, "A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, I promise you." ”

This time, I sent a personal favor to the Gongye family, and I can also have one more way out in the future. Yu Guanguan thought to himself.

"Thank you, General!" Gongye Huanhuan was overjoyed when she heard this, and then a whistle summoned her mount and sat on the back of the horse with a light skill.

"Good horse! The foot journey should not be slow. ”

"General, let the horse go, I will follow."

"Okay, let's go."
