Li Zhen didn't care how much negative emotions Cheng Chubi and Fang Er had in their hearts, just like Cheng Chubi and Fang Er didn't care about Li Zhen at that time, they only knew that it was a truth that they were having fun.

In the final analysis, there are still some teenagers who have each other's temperament.

Perhaps, this is this kind of youthful mentality, which will make the big guys bump and bump together, and never hold grudges.

Early the next morning, the Eagle Guard Reconnaissance Battalion headed north for skiing in groups of two.

According to the instructions on the Tang River, there were only two soldiers in each group, and nearly two hundred soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion spread out a width of two hundred miles.

The scouts, who had only been trained for an hour, risked their lives to complete the expedition.

The cloak behind him became a scarf, and the light veil on his eyes became goggles.

For a whole day, I explored five hundred miles to the north, and then turned back. This is a great thing for beginners. Just like a person driving on a highway, the longer you walk, the more tired you become. What's more, the soldiers of the Eagle Guard only have gloves, but no cotton shoes that can completely resist the snow on the ground.

When they returned to camp, the number of scouts had not changed, but many of them had frozen toes, and a few could no longer open their eyes.

Tang Heshang, who had guessed in his heart that he had been confirmed, was not the slightest bit happy that he had guessed the enemy's movements, and he solemnly saluted in front of the bodies of several scouts who had died.

Early the next morning, instead of arranging for the accompanying military doctor to amputate the toes of the frostbitten soldiers, the Tang River ruthlessly announced that they would set off westward.

Without complaining, the scouts turned and drove the sleigh again and disappeared into the snow.

......

In the Western Regions, there is a lake for Xuanchi, located in the west of the Altai Mountains, which is a rare habitat in this area.

The royal court of the Western Turkic Khanate was here!

In the royal court, the body of Ye Hu was still in a tent, and the funeral was not held according to the customs of the Turks. It's not that everyone is unwilling, but the current situation, the nobles don't have the heart to deal with the dead khan.

In the tent next door, dozens of people are gathering to discuss things!

This discussion has been going on for several days.

When the guards were defeated and died, those commanders who held the power of the army wanted to ascend to the throne of the royal court, and the great nobles wanted to bring back Ashina, the worship brother of His Majesty Li Er, in order to reduce the anger of the Tang people. The two sides are at a stalemate, and they are already facing each other.

However, at that very moment, the cavalry of the Tiele people suddenly arrived!

The nobles immediately united and sent all those noble soldiers out to resist the Tiele army! At the same time, the ambitious captains were also summoned back, and a meeting was held nervously to select the new khan.

"Lao Tzu's 10,000 soldiers are outside, choose me to be the khan, let's kill the Tiele people immediately!"

"Phew! Just you have 10,000 soldiers? ”

“......”

It's a matter of discussion, but it's better to say that a few captains are arguing with each other about putting their forces outside!

To put it bluntly, everyone's strength is the same, and no one obeys anyone.

There is no doubt that in the current situation, the Western Turks want to peacefully resolve their internal strife, which is already a bit of a fantasy......

......

Tuyuhun Dafeichuan, a circle of tents is standing in the snow on the top of the mountain, and outside the tent, there are sentinels wearing dark armor and white cloaks!

None of them are the Tang Xuanjia Army, but the Zuo Xiaowei led by Li Ji of the Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, the Xuanxi iron armor is no longer the standard configuration of the Xuanjia army, but the standard configuration of all the government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.

On the top of the mountain, a general held a telescope to observe, and from time to time the general put down the telescope, rubbed his hand quickly with a sigh, and waited for the palm to no longer be so stiff, and then picked up the telescope again to continue to observe.

The other end of the telescope is facing the city a few miles away from the mountain, and that city is called Fuqi City, Murong Fuyun's lair, and the capital of Tuyuhun!

"Head of the house!"

Not far away, a soldier in fish scale armor staggered up.

The general looked back, and the soldier's arms bulged out, as if something was hidden.

"Quick, master!"

The soldier who ran to him lifted the fish scale armor and took out a small clay pot from his arms: "Drink it quickly, the winter in this place is too cold, and the water that has just been heated will become ice slag when you take out the tent!" The servant just wants to get this way, don't dislike me for not taking a bath, my body stinks! ”

"Lots of words!"

The general of Xuanjia is Li Ji, the general of Zuo Xiaowei and the head of the Shanzhou march, he can't help but roll his eyes, it's okay if he doesn't say it, after saying that, he always feels that the water in his hand is a little uncomfortable.

However, fortunately, Li Ji, who has been marching and fighting for many years, is not a hypocritical person, so he picked up the clay pot and drank it slowly.

Not to mention, this mouthful of warm water in his stomach, Li Ji felt that his whole body was a lot hotter! He moistened his lips with the water in the clay pot again, and said to the generals beside him: "Commander, everyone, drink more hot water, don't be afraid of urinating too much, urinating will not freeze your lower body!"

Let the big guys endure for a day, and tomorrow we will go down the mountain to attack the city! ”

......

On the west bank of the Dule River, two generals wearing bright light armor and cloaks are standing on the riverside. Their gaze was on the east bank, and in their sight was a force of a mixture of fish-scale cavalry and felt-hat cavalry.

There is no doubt that this is a mixture of the Right Guard and the Metropolitan Guard.

A cavalryman in fish scale armor and a cloak was carefully covering his mount on the east bank of the river with a foot cover made of cloth. He was going to rely on this cloth cover to let his horse carry him across the frozen Dule River.

It took him a long time to wrap all four hooves of the horse in cloth!

Stretched out his hand, pulled the piece of cloth, and did not tear it off! The soldier grinned at the mouth that had already turned purple from the cold, and had cracked into several segments.

This appearance can no longer be described as looking like a rabbit, after all, the rabbit thing only has a three-petal mouth.

Not far from the soldier was a general wearing bright light armor, and on his helmet there was a bunch of white feathers.

He is Su Dingfang, a man who once led the Eight Hundred Cavalry to break the Jieli Palace, and his name can rank in the top ten of the Han people in this grassland. At this time, he was wrapping his horse's hooves with strips of cloth like the soldiers, and he was to hurry to the west, according to the orders of the master on the other side of the river, to join the second highest ranking of Han Chinese on the steppe.

Is it bitter to march on the steppe in winter?

His lips had already cracked, and Su Lie, who had itched his toes uncomfortably every night, would undoubtedly answer bitterly!

The saying is to say that the fame is taken right away, and you can lead the troops to fight, how can there be no bitterness, how can there be no difficulty?

However, no matter how hard it is, no matter how difficult it is, you have to persevere!

Su Lie remembered a sentence: "To be a soldier, you have to be not afraid of hardship!" As a general, you can't be afraid of hardship! ”
