Whether it is the white-haired old lady, the newlywed Yan'erdi's wife, or the children under Chenghuan's knees, they shouted the names of their relatives over and over again, and their tears dried up, just hoping to see the appearance of the person in their dreams again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Occasionally, when they find their relatives, they hug each other tightly and do not want to be separated again. The bags of dried melons, fruits, and food, whether they knew it or not, stuffed it straight into the hands of the soldiers.

"The hardest thing is parting!" The tragic and desolate atmosphere made Li Yi, a veteran general who has been fighting all year round, couldn't help but moisten his eyes and sigh.

Shen Qiwu has never experienced this kind of scene, this is a real parting of life and death, looking at the countless wives and mothers who dragged their children and daughters, looked forward to it, and cried so much that their bowels were broken, this kind of shocking taste is difficult to describe without personal experience. She suddenly hated war more than ever.

"Mother, sister." There was a coquettish cry over there, but it was Huan'er wearing the most colorful shirt, kicking on the roof of the carriage, like a butterfly wearing flowers, tears were ringing, shaking her little hands desperately, and she had already cried into a tearful person.

There is also a younger brother Shen Yun, who has not been seen for a long time, who also stayed with Huan'er, they crowded with everyone, rolling with the flow of people, moving step by step, waving at Shen Qiwu over and over again.

"Take care of yourselves!" Shen Qiwu waved his hand at them and whispered softly, full of parting sadness.

In the hazy eyes of tears, the familiar faces slowly drowned in the sea of people, gradually getting farther away, far away.

It's also strange to say, since the capital, the continuous drizzle has been raining non-stop, the official road is muddy, coupled with the slight cold weather, in the bleak wind and drizzle, it makes people feel like they have returned to the cold winter. This kind of weather march, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the battle-hardened veterans are demoralized, as if it is a bad omen from heaven.

Zhao Mu and Shen Qiwu had never led soldiers, and now when they saw the solemn expression of Zhenyuan Marquis Li Ju, they knew that this was really a hard battle.

In the camp, the two most leisurely people are none other than Zhao Mu and Shen Qiwu. The generals under him were busy training, and Zhao Mu could only take Shen Qiwu, who was dressed in a strong suit, to wander around the barracks all day long, occasionally catching a few ordinary soldiers and cheering for homely things. When it was time to eat, Zhao Mu also stopped Shen Qiwu's advice, tried his best to be the same as everyone's food, never made it special, and mingled with the soldiers.

The army marched north for a few days, and then changed its direction to east to west. Winding along the southern foot of the mountain forest, the climate is slowly drying out.

During the meeting in the army, Li Ju put out a map to explain everything, and secretly analyzed the current situation for Zhao Mu, so as not to let him, the free emperor, know the danger in his dream and live in a confused way. In the current situation, all the soldiers frowned when they heard this, and even Shen Qiwu, who was not familiar with military affairs, instinctively felt that the situation was too dangerous.

"When we left the capital, we followed this mountain road to the north. From west to east, across the Yanmen Pass, through Shuofang, you can reach Helan Mountain, the generalissimo's northern army is stationed there, although there is still some distance from the border town, but our route, at any time can meet scattered enemy troops, absolutely not relaxed, order the army to be ready for war at any time. ”

Li Ju's expression was solemn, and now the news of the royal driver's personal expedition has already been released. It is inevitable that the people of the Jin Kingdom will not lose their hearts and send out a small group of elite cavalry to bypass Helan Mountain to harass. The army must safely join the Northern Army led by Li Yang, and that is the moment of decisive battle.

Shen Qiwu sighed and gently tapped the map on the table, feeling a little heavy.

"How many soldiers are there in the Northern Army now?" Zhao Mu asked with a heavy face.

Li Ji thought for a while and said seriously: "Back to Your Majesty, now counting the soldiers and horses temporarily transferred from the border towns, there are about 200,000. ”

Zhao Mu shook his head, his face was not very good-looking.

"The 200,000 Great Zhou soldiers, counting the 50,000 led by me this time, is not enough for 300,000. The whole country of Jin is attacking, with 400,000 troops, this battle is not easy to fight! ”

The less than 300,000 elites of the Great Zhou Dynasty are difficult to gain an advantage over the 400,000 iron cavalry of the Jin State, but fortunately, Li Yang is in command. If Zhao Mu decides not to go to the expedition this time, I am afraid that the Jin Kingdom will be able to drink the Yellow River in less than a month and drive straight down.

Shen Qiwu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Li Ju saw the expression on Zhao Mu's face, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my Great Zhou has done my best, and the generalissimo has also said that it is bound to fight to the death with the Jin people." ”

Jin Guo raised the whole country's troops to attack, and the Great Zhou was not it.

If you can't hold Helan Mountain, I'm afraid that all places in the Great Zhou will be ignited with war.

The soldiers in the tent were boiling with blood according to the truth, and their eyes were red and said: "Our Great Zhou has been bullied by the Jin State for many years, although the first emperor defeated the Jin State, but still lost a lot of national strength, and now he is fighting to the death with the Jin State, and he must kill happily and avenge the brothers who died in the battle!" ”

Words are the voice of the heart, and what these soldiers said represents the aspirations of thousands of Great Zhou soldiers. Da Zhou has been oppressed by the Jin State for a long time, if he can successfully defeat the Jin State this time, even if it is just a roar at the Jin army, it is enough to make countless soldiers raise their eyebrows and boil their blood, and sweep away the winning and weak momentum accumulated by the Great Zhou for many years, and the power of encouragement must not be underestimated.

The blood-red sunset shone on the forest and field, Shen Qiwu's cheeks were like jade, she stood silently for a long time, her pretty figure dragged into a long straight line, her expression was quiet, her eyes were shining, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhao Mu slapped her behind, but Shen Qiwu was startled.

Shen Qiwu hurriedly turned his head, looked at Zhao Mu and asked, "Didn't you listen to Li's analysis in the tent, why did you run out?" ”

Zhao Mu followed her gaze, and the sunset was falling, and he let out a long hum. said: "I don't know any art of war, the only thing I can do is to give them support and let them do it." ”

Shen Qiwu nodded, the atmosphere in the tent was too heavy. When it comes to Zhao Mu's temperament, he must not be able to stay.

"When you get to Shuofang, you can stay there." Zhao Mu looked at Shen Qiwu seriously.

"Why?"

"You also know the current situation, if you stay in Helan Mountain, it will be reassuring after all. So you should stay in a safe place, so that I can go to Helan Mountain with confidence. ”

Shen Qiwu thought about it and knew Zhao Mu's concerns. Said seriously: "Then why should I come here, it is better to stay in the capital?" ”

Zhao Mu smiled awkwardly and explained: "It's different, now that I'm with me all the way, I'm no longer afraid." It's just a death, I bear the hope of Da Zhou, and I don't want you to take risks. ”

Shen Qiwu nodded and stopped refutating.
