There are countless generals in the world, and they all say that they are willing to share weal and woe with the soldiers and go to Huangquan together.

But how many people have really done it?

Isn't that a matter of sealing the marquis with your words, and you will succeed in ten thousand bones?

At the end of the day, those are just morale-boosting words.

As soon as they said that, the soldiers listened to it.

But now, Li Chongyi really eats and lives with the soldiers, wears and fights together.

An elderly veteran took the lead in singing: "If the motherland is violated, hot-blooded men should be self-reliant." ”

"After drying this bowl of hometown wine, the strong man is gone forever."

"Rolling the Yellow River, surging the Yangtze River, give me life and strength."

"Let the blood stain the most beautiful flower on my breast."

"The red flag is fluttering, the trumpet is sounding, the sword is unsheathed, the thunder and lightning are flashing,"

"It has always been a narrow road where the brave wins. Forward, forward, forward......"

This is Li Chengqian's song to the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

It is also the song of Li Chengqian's church in Liangzhou.

The old pawn's hoarse voice soon infected the other zombies.

The crowd sang along.

The song was sung over and over again, and the more I sang, the more passionate it became.

People seem to have forgotten about the tiredness, about the cold, about everything.

They only remember that they were a soldier of Datang.

Listening to everyone's singing and looking at everyone's young faces, Li Chongyi was also moved in his heart.

Similarly, he also loves the Tang soldiers under his command from the bottom of his heart.

Next, he did not ride a war horse and march on foot like ordinary soldiers.

How could such Li Chongyi not let the soldiers below follow him to death?

On this day, just as the army was marching as usual, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard ahead.

When the surrounding soldiers heard this voice, they were shocked and picked up their weapons to prepare to defend against the enemy.

Li Chongyi waved his hand and said, "Put down your weapons, it's our own people who come." ”

After a while, a war horse galloped over.

The person who came was Ba Tianlei sent out by Li Chongyi.

After this man dismounted, he hurriedly came to Li Chongyi to report it.

"Good news, General!"

"What? Are we finally going to get out of the mountains? ”

Li Chongyi raised his eyelids and looked at Ba Tianlei.

"That's not ......"

Ba Tianlei scratched his head and said, "But I found a tribe of the Xi tribe in the northeast, we can rest there tonight." ”

Hearing this, Li Chongyi was also shocked.

He looked up to the northeast, and his eyes were full of white snow, and there was no trace of the tribe in sight.

But he also knew that Ba Tianlei wouldn't dare to joke with him with this kind of thing.

He shook his head and chuckled: "It's really an endless road, even this kind of place can be found by you, I don't know if we are lucky, or the people of the Xia tribe are too unlucky!" ”

With tribal tents to live in, who wants to be frozen in this cold field?

Li Chongyi immediately walked to his horse and walked to the soldiers around him as he got on the horse.

"Everybody's on orders!"

"Before sunset, I'm going to make tea and soup in that tribe to warm up."

"By the way, I'll give you an all-sheep feast!"

After saying that, he didn't care about the soldiers around him, and galloped straight on his horse.

When many soldiers heard that there was a place to rest, and that there was a whole sheep feast to eat, their eyes were about to glow green.

One by one, they kept up with Li Chengqian's pace, and rushed towards the Xia tribe in the northeast.

They do have a tribe in the northeast.

But the size of the tribe was not large, only about twenty tents, and it seemed that it was a small tribe of 100 people at most.

Judging from the style of the tents, it is clear that these people lived here temporarily, preparing to go up to the mountains to hunt in winter.

But they can't even dream of it.

The nightmare came silently.

Nearly 5,000 Liangzhou soldiers rushed towards the camp.

But because they made such a loud noise, before they could enter the camp, they alarmed the people in the camp.

Many people's curtains have been lifted, and some children are looking curiously.

The camp was in isolation.

The villagers had never seen the Tang people, nor had they seen the Tang soldiers.

At this moment, seeing these Liangzhou soldiers in armor suddenly breaking into the camp, they didn't react to what was going on.

There were even some stupid ones who walked out of the tent and looked at this side.

Seeing this scene, Li Chongyi shook his head helplessly.

These people living in isolated mountains and forests are really innocent and lovely......

Li Chongyi turned around and made a gesture of encirclement to the generals behind him.

Subsequently, under the command of that general, the Liangzhou soldiers dispersed and surrounded the camp.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a patriarch walked out of the crowd.

He took two steps forward, faced Li Chongyi and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you come to our tribe? ”

He spoke in the language of the Xia ethnic group, which Li Chongyi didn't understand at all.

In the early years, due to the influence of Han culture in the Northern Desert, Chinese began to be spoken in both the southern and eastern parts of the Northern Desert.

It is true that the Khitan and Xi people have their own languages, but they basically speak Chinese, and only a small number of people speak their own dialects.

Although Li Chongyi couldn't understand his words.

But he made a move that was enough for anyone to understand.

He rode up to the middle-aged man, and then dropped his sword and cut off his head.

The latter's face was still surprised, but his head was already in the air, and the blood that spurted out of it stained the white snow scarlet.

Li Chongyi withdrew his saber and said with a cold face: "Tie up everyone here and guard them strictly, and don't let anyone go." ”

"Those who dare to flee will be killed."

With his order, five thousand Liangzhou soldiers rushed up.

There are not many people in the village, and they are all hunters, and they have never been on the battlefield, where are the opponents of these Liangzhou veterans?

In a short time, all the men, women, and children in the camp were tied together and thrown into the snow and ice.

Those Liangzhou veterans didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly got into the tent to warm up and rest.

There was nothing in such a desolate tent except a charcoal brazier.

But at this moment, in the eyes of these soldiers, this place is more like heaven than heaven.

Li Chongyi came to a relatively small tent.

Two Liangzhou guards took the lead in and inspected the inside.

After making sure that there was no one inside, they withdrew from the camp one after another and bowed to Li Chongyi: "General, you can go in." ”

Li Chongyi nodded and stepped into it.

He went straight to the fire in the tent and added a few sticks of wood to the fire.

While rubbing his hands, he said to the soldiers beside him: "Go and find something to eat, preferably hot." ”

"Yes, General."

The two of them said yes, and they both walked out of the tent to look for food.

Li Chongyi shook off his frozen stiff hand, took out the map given to him by Li Chengqian from his bosom and spread it on the ground.

The picture was drawn by Li Chengqian himself, and the depiction on it is obviously much more detailed than ordinary maps.

And even if Li Chengqian let Li Chongyi go to the Northern Desert Grassland to recuperate, he was not idle at all.

Every day, he would send Ba Tianlei to the Xia Clan to investigate the situation, and further improve the missing places on the map.

Li Chongyi stared at the direction of the royal tent of the Xia clan, and narrowed his eyes: "Wait, I'll be here soon." ”
