Chapter XXVII: The Beginning of the Great War

"This gold and silver treasure is just something outside the body, life in the world, as long as it is enough, Brother Liu might as well look at it, and save so much trouble."

Listening to Lu Wenhou's comfort, Liu Wang leaked a wry smile.

There are some things that you can't give up if you don't want to fight.

But he couldn't say this to Lu Wenhou.

After that, the two chatted for a while and then rested separately.

After all, there is still training tomorrow, and it is important for a soldier to get enough rest.

Following!

The sun awakened the jade gate from its slumber.

Due to the arrival of reinforcements, Yumen Pass did not have the tense atmosphere of the previous days.

Although no one was worried about the Yumen Pass being breached a few days ago, most of them were still a little nervous.

After all, there has been no war in the land of Tianhan for five hundred years.

The last time was a big battle between Emperor Guangwu and Wang Mang, and finally Guangwu laid the foundation for victory with a military strike, and there has been no war in the land of Tianhan since then.

For example, as soon as the thousand-year-old army of the Han Dynasty arrives today, the tension in the hearts of all the people will naturally disappear.

Today's Yumen Pass seems to have become particularly lively because of this.

Early in the morning, someone stood at the door of Sun's rouge shop.

It's not just those big ladies, there are even some men.

Opening the door, Xiang Xiaoer glanced at the men who were waiting.

Hehe, a bunch of LSPs.

What is it about them that he doesn't know?

After all, it is men who know men best.

"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, why is the door open so late today?"

The maid said anxiously.

Xiang Xiaoer opened the door and let the eldest ladies come in:

"Didn't I see that you didn't come yesterday, and I thought I was tired of hearing it, so I won't come today?"

Many of the eldest ladies present were unhappy when they heard this.

Yesterday, because I was grounded at home, I couldn't come to listen to the book, and my mind was full of stories about the twelve hairpins of Jinling all day.

After listening to a few complaints from many eldest ladies, Xiang Xiaoer began to prepare to continue to tell the story of the twelve hairpins of Jinling.

"Where was the last time?"

The crowd was speechless.

Don't you remember the co-author of the story?

Fortunately, I remembered that after being reminded, Xiang Xiaoer thought about it and said:

The last book said, this Xue Baochai threw down the skewers. When I turned around and was about to leave, I saw Daiyu kicking on the threshold, biting the silk in her mouth and laughing. Baochai Road:

'You can't resist the wind, why are you standing in that wind?' ’

Daiyu smiled: "He Zeng is not in the room. Just because I heard a cry from the sky, I came out to take a look, and it turned out to be a stupid goose. ’

Baochai said: 'Where are the goose beyond?' I'll take a look. ’

Daiyu said: "I just came out, and he flew away. ’

As he spoke, he shook the silk in his hand and threw it at Baoyu's face, Baoyu didn't know it, he was hitting his eyes, and he made a 'belch'. ”

Xiang Xiaoer used his amazing voice changing skills to show the lifelike characters in the story to everyone.

In the next few days, every day Xiang Xiaoer told the story of the thirteen hairpins of Jinling.

The story of the twelve hairpins of Jinling is based on the rise and fall of the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue, from the perspective of Jia Baoyu, the rich son Jia Baoyu, and the tragedy of love and marriage between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai as the main line.

There has never been a story about a woman in Tianhan.

Not to mention the twists and turns of the story of the twelve hairpins of Jinling, but the logic is rich and interesting.

How can these eldest ladies stand this.

Naturally, the more you listen, the more addictive you become.

Some clever people have spotted a business opportunity.

Every day, the stories they heard were transcribed at Sun's Rouge Shop, and then shipped to other cities, either to be sold to storytellers, or to be copied into books and sold to the eldest ladies in other cities.

Xiang Xiaoer's eyes widened when he learned of this.

This is not the earliest pirate.

However, Tianhan does not have a copyright protection law, and he does not make money by being a copyist, so piracy is piracy, and this problem is still left to future generations to have a headache.

The days go by quickly.

Unknowingly, it has been half a month since Xiang Xiaoer came to this world.

This afternoon, Xiang Xiaoer told the story of the twelve hairpins of Jinling as usual:

"I stayed for three days before I went to Mrs. Xing's side. first resigned from Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and then separated from the sisters, and they were all sad and reluctant, but Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others comforted and persuaded them, and then stopped going over there. After staying at Mrs. Xing's place for two days, Sun Shaozu's people came to pick him up. Although Yingchun was reluctant to go, he was helpless for fear of Sun Shaozu's evil, so he had to reluctantly endure his feelings and resigned. Mrs. Xing didn't care, and she didn't ask about the harmony between her husband and wife, and the housework was troublesome, so she was just responsible. ”

After saying this, Xiang Xiaoer didn't speak, but began to bow his head and drink tea.

Everyone only thought that he was drinking tea to moisten his throat, but he didn't think about it for a long time and didn't speak again.

Everyone glanced at each other, and finally it was Miss Liu who spoke:

"Why didn't Xiang Gongzi continue?"

Xiang Xiaoer put down the teacup and replied with a smile:

"When the story is over, I won't tell it."

"Finished?"

The crowd whispered.

"Childe, don't be joking, this story has been told for a long time, although it has been said eighty times so far, but this Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai have not ended yet, how can it be over?"

It was Wang Ningxiang who said this.

Since she got the golden hairpin, her health has been getting better and better, which made Wang Fugui very happy, and she even sent someone to thank her before.

Xiang Xiaoer glanced at everyone and said with a smile:

"Everything in the world is caused by fate, and it is also destroyed by fate, and the fate of the girls and the story of the twelve hairpins has ended, and this story will naturally end for you.

When I first came to this Yumen Pass, I relied on Sister Sun's care to find a job in this Sun's rouge shop. After that, thanks to the girls' faces, they can have a bite to eat, and today I don't know when I will see you again. These twelve golden hairpins are indeed not ordinary things in the world, but unfortunately they are only related to the two girls now, and I have no other treasures, so today I can only wish you all the girls Hibiscus like a willow and an eyebrow, and it is difficult to give up on her natural beauty, and she will find a proud gentleman in the future. ”

Everyone was not stupid, and they understood what Xiang Xiaoer meant for a while.

"Childe, are you leaving Yumen Pass?"

Miss Liu asked suspiciously.

Xiang Xiaoer nodded and shook his head, looking into the distance:

"It's not just me, I'm afraid all the girls are going to leave this jade gate as well."

Not far from the Jade Gate Pass, a majestic and towering city was slowly moving on the horizon.

It was a country, and the name of the country was Loulan.

As it approached, the ground of the Jade Gate Pass began to tremble.

"What happened?"

Busy people in Yumen Pass ran to the streets to ask.

"Earth dragon turned over?"

"Don't panic, it should be the earth dragon turning over."

Everyone just guessed the result, but soon someone found out that this was not as simple as the earth dragon turning over.

"Look, what's that?"

The people on the street looked up in horror, only to see a towering city in the distance slowly approaching the Yumen Pass.

"What's that? What is that? ”

Hua'an City, the commander of Yumen Pass, was completely panicked, and rushed to the city wall with people, grabbing the collar of the soldiers defending the city and yelling.

It's a pity that the other party with a confused face is destined to be unable to answer him.

"What about the spies, what about the spies we sent to Loulan? Do they all eat white rice? ”

Pushed away the soldier Hua Ancheng yelled.

"Stop shouting, they probably died a long time ago."

Chang Li led people to the head of the city, and glanced coldly at the unsuccessful Yumen Pass General Soldier.

No wonder he was sent to a remote place like Yumen Pass, this kind of waste is really a shame for Tianhan.

Then he stared coldly at the city that was constantly approaching like the Jade Gate Pass.

"This crazy woman really doesn't leave any way back for herself."

November 23, 995 Tianhan.

Princess Ye Luwan of Loulan took Loulan straight to the Tianhan Jade Gate.

......

The battle between Loulan and Tianhan began.

No statement was made.

Princess Loulan directly started a war with Tianhan, the thousand-year-old overlord.

"The whole army is ready!"

The 100,000 army plus the 100,000 defenders of Yumen Pass gathered in an instant.

Dense crowds of people stood in front of the Jade Gate Gate.

Chang Li was a tall red horse, dressed in Tianhan armor, and was in front of the army, staring at the slowly coming Loulan Machinery City.

"This princess Loulan has such a great ability that she has made the entire Loulan a puppet."

Looking at the monster moving on the horizon, Changli's lieutenant Li Ziming opened his mouth with a serious face.

"It's really good for military purposes."

Chang Li opened his mouth coldly.

"At the beginning, if this woman was willing to give up Loulan, I agreed with her to join our Tianhan, this kind of divine power can not only be used in the military, but also has a lot of needs in other places, but it's a pity."

Chang Li shook his head, Princess Loulan was so greedy that she wanted them to Tianhan to take in the entire people of Loulan, and to divide a piece of land for them.

Just kidding, it is already a gift to let him, the princess of Loulan, join Tianhan, and the foreign barbarians are vainly trying to step into the land of the Central Plains, and they are also worthy.

Looking at Loulan City, which seemed to be attacking by himself, the Tianhan soldiers flashed a trace of shock, but no one was afraid.

There is no him, because under their feet is the land of Tianhan, and behind them are the people of Tianhan.

"Stop!"

Looking at Loulan City, which was getting closer and closer to the army, Chang Li glanced at the deputy general Li Ziming, and the other party nodded and stepped forward to take a deep breath and roar.

The roar was like thunder. Shaking in all directions, the horses of the Han army stomped their feet uneasily.

A hurricane formed in front of Li Ziming, and the wind blew away the yellow sand and went straight to Loulan City.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, Loulan City stopped.

"Princess Loulan came out to reply!"

"Come out and talk back!"

"Talk back!"

Li Ziming spoke again.

Princess Loulan, who was dressed in white on the city wall of Loulan, opened her mouth coldly.

"It's been almost a thousand years since the Han Dynasty was in the Han Dynasty, and this shelf is really getting bigger and bigger, I came here with Loulan, and a little deputy general dared to let me go out and talk back."

"The princess doesn't have to care, wait until we break through this jade gate and see how rampant he is."

An old man smiled and said with relief.

"Hmph, if he is a genius, he dares to let the princess go out to reply, and when I go out, teach him a good lesson."

A young general who had a lot of respect for Princess Loulan spoke.

Princess Loulan, who was dressed in white, smiled, but this smile seemed to be etiquette, and it was not as good as smiling in front of Xiang Xiaoer that day.

"Since he called me, then let me go and meet the god of this heavenly man."

After Princess Loulan finished speaking, she jumped off the city with a slight leap, and a black wing spread out behind her back, instantly spreading, flying towards the Tianhan army like a bird.

A closer look reveals that the wings are puppet wings made of a block of iron.

Divine power: puppetry, there are many uses,

Looking at Princess Loulan floating in the air in front of him, Li Ziming's eyes flashed with a trace of shock, and then disappeared in an instant, took a deep breath, and spoke again:

"Ye Luwan, as the princess of Loulan, you dare to lead the army to invade the Yumen Pass on the border of my Tianhan, aren't you afraid that my Tianhan Iron Horse will break through your Loulan?"

The puppet wings behind the white-clothed Princess Loulan were stirred, and the whole person was like an angel falling from the sky.

"Haven't I passed the Jade Gate Pass yet?"

"Yeluwan, don't pretend, you sent troops to attack my Tianhan Bafang Town, really I don't know when I am a Tianhan?"

Li Ziming spoke again.

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Loulan of the Tianshan Mountains couldn't help laughing:

"Hahaha, your Tianhan is really interesting, since ancient times, the border of your Tianhan Western Regions is Yumen Pass, and the Bafang Town has passed Yumen Pass for eight hundred miles, why dare you say that it is the land of your Tianhan?"

"Just by virtue of this, I Tianhan said it."

Chang Li stepped forward and spoke coldly.

Princess Loulan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed louder.

"It's really interesting, it's worthy of being a heavenly man, it's really domineering, what you say is yours, do you really think that your heavenly man is the sky above this head?"

Princess Loulan stopped laughing, and her voice became murderous.

"At least your God."

Chang Li replied without caring at all.

Princess Loulan was silent, and the desert did not know when the dust was raised.

The wind is blowing.

"Ye Luwan, if you retreat now and voluntarily go back to Luoyang with me to apologize for your sins, I can intercede for Your Majesty and forgive you for Loulan's disrespectful sin."

Chang Li spoke again.

Princess Loulan stared straight at each other:

"Finished?"

No reply.

"After speaking, it's time for me to say, today I, Yeluwan, swear here, if I don't break your jade gate, I, Yeluwan, am willing to be punished by ten thousand swords piercing the heart, and I won't die well."

When Princess Loulan said this, her silver teeth were so fierce that she was awe-inspiring.

"If you know each other, you will immediately take people out of Yumen Pass, and if you don't know each other, I will let you splash your blood on Yumen Pass today."

"Look for death!"

Chang Li was furious.

"If you don't break your jade gate, I'll beg for death!"

The murderous spirit is rampant, and Princess Loulan's long hair is flying!

The gate of Loulan Iron City opened, and the Loulan soldiers dressed in puppets walked out with neat steps.

"Then I will fulfill you!"

Chang Li shouted.

"All the troops are attacking!"

200,000 Han troops rushed towards the Loulan soldiers.

"Put the puppet!"

Loulan led the general to drink.

The armor on the soldier's body instantly retreated and turned into a puppet, and then rushed towards the Tianhan army.

"Cut those iron lumps for me!"

Li Ziming bent his bow and aimed at the general led by Loulan.

Bow and arrow shot.

The arrows tore through the air, with bursts of sound, and even the sound of a dragon's groan.

A hint of panic flashed in the eyes of the general Loulan.

Raising his hand, a puppet appeared in front of him, and then instantly disintegrated and reorganized into layers of shields.

Looking at the iron plate in front of him, Loulan's generals breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

And Li Ziming, who had been watching him, flashed a sneer.

"Have you ever heard of the arrows of Li Guang, the flying general of Dragon City?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the arrow landed on the shield drawn by the puppet.

"Dang" sound.

The loud sound of iron clashing reverberated throughout the battlefield.

Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, I saw that the arrow instantly penetrated the shield of the puppet like a meteor.

The wide-eyed Loulan general was directly pinned to fly.

"No, it can't be?"

General Loulan said the last sentence of his life without looking at him.

The morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and they were not afraid of the oncoming puppets coming from Lou, and pounced on them like fierce tigers.

"Outside the Saiwai barbarians, I don't know what to say."

Li Ziming snorted coldly, and once again bent his bow and arrows to aim the arrow at Princess Loulan in the sky.

Glancing at the dead Loulan general, Ye Luwan snorted coldly without any expression.

"I didn't expect you to be Li Guang's descendant, but you have some skills, but it's a pity that even Li Guang can't save you today."

Princess Loulan shouted:

"Twin Kings!"

As soon as the words fell, two huge puppets jumped down from the towering wall of Loulan Iron City.

The two puppets are ten meters tall and five meters wide, and they look like a giant brown bear.

Sharp blades are mounted on the arms.

As soon as they landed, the two puppets rushed towards the Han army,

And then there was endless killing,

None of the Han troops were its opponents, and they couldn't even stop a single move.

"Look for death!"

Seeing that his side suffered heavy casualties due to the puppet's entry, Changli was furious.

"Ziming, shoot Yeluwan down for me."

Under the rage, a tiger phantom appeared above Chang Li's head.

The spirit of the dragon and tiger.

This is the divine power that only the Heavenly Han Divine General can condense.

It is also a manifestation of strength.

Wei Qing, who was sealed as a wolf back then, was a man of great spirit.

"Order!"

Li Ziming was also furious, and he bent his bow and pulled an arrow to shoot at Princess Yeluwan of Loulan in the sky.

Looking at the arrows flying towards her, Yeluwan snorted coldly and the wings behind her instigated to dodge instantly.

And Li Ziming, who looked at the arrow missing, leaked a sneer.

I saw that the arrow turned around automatically in the air, and then shot at Yeluwan's back.

But it didn't last long for the sneer to change.

I saw that when the arrow was about to touch her back, Yeluwan suddenly turned around,

The wings behind him were like cleavers, and the arrows split horizontally in an instant.

"Tianhan Li Guang's divine power has already spread throughout the entire desert, I really don't know that your divine arrow can't be avoided?"

The god of the Heavenly Han Dynasty, the dragon city and the flying general Li Guang, is a man who destroys the country with his own strength.

Legend has it that once his magic arrow is fired, it will not stop no matter if the target escapes to the ends of the earth.

Seeing that he couldn't strike a blow, Li Ziming wanted to bend his bow and shoot here, but was stopped by Chang Li.

"You go and deal with those two puppets, and I'll deal with her."

Chang Li saw that no one in the Han army could stop the two murderous Loulan puppets, and he was seriously injured for a while, so he directly ordered.

Li Ziming was unwilling, but knowing that this was not the time to be angry, he had to glare at Princess Loulan in the sky viciously and responded:

"Good!"

Then he struck his horse and charged at the two puppets named the Two Kings.

"Want to go?"

Princess Loulan naturally won't let her wish happen easily.

As soon as he raised his hand, another puppet appeared, and then he directly remembered Li Ziming.

Chang Li snorted coldly.

The tiger above it roared.

"Your opponent is me."

The tiger seemed to turn into substance, and rushed out to tear the puppet apart in an instant.

Princess Loulan was not chasing, and turned her head to look at Changli seriously.

"The god general of the Tianhan Dynasty is worthy of his name, although the ancestor of that kid is Li Guang, but unfortunately he is still a little tender, and he really can't compare with you who is sitting in the position of a general."

Chang Li snorted coldly:

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll take your head today to commemorate my Tianhan soldiers who died in battle."
