Di Jie looked at the opponent in front of him who was similar to his age, but seemed to be ten years older than him, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and the murderous aura in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he sighed slightly: "I'm afraid we won't be friends in this life." ”

Qiang Xingzhi's eyes darkened, chaotic, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I can't be friends anymore." Suddenly, he let out a long sigh and muttered in a low voice, "I haven't been back for five years." ”

Before the battle, the soldiers only felt an inexplicable sadness welling up in their hearts, lingering, although they wanted to eat their flesh and bones, but looking at Qiang Xingzhi like this, he was just a twilight old man, and he was also like himself with flesh and blood, thinking about his hometown and relatives.

Qiang Xingzhi looked up at Li Luo and asked out loud, "Are you Li Luo?" ”

Li Luo's face was flat, but it was more profound, and when he saw Qiang Xingzhi asking, he nodded slightly.

Qiang Xingzhi looked at it carefully for a moment, and said: "At a young age, there is such a deep city, it seems that the number of great sweetness is not exhausted, but you can have today's victory, thank you General Di." ”

Li Luo glanced at Di Jie, smiled and said, "Li Luo remembers." ”

Qiang Xingzhi laughed again, two lines of turbid tears gently slid down his cheeks, as if he was laughing too quickly, coughed repeatedly, and stopped for a long time, and said with a whole face: "It's a pity that Xirong has my Qiang Xingzhi, but he didn't give birth to a Di Jie, and he made people." Although the language is sober, it has its own pride.

The generals knew that Qiang Xingzhi was sighing that the left and right armies of Xirong were not compatible, and there were no famous generals, but there were no virtuous ministers, and they secretly had compassion.

Di Jie shouted, dispelled the sullenness, his eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, you killed my Dagan soldiers back then, you should have thought that there would be today's end." Now you say such things, but you can't ask for forgiveness? ”

Qiang Xingzhi shook his head and said: "Di Jie, don't underestimate me Qiang Xingzhi, I didn't die on the battlefield, I just want to see what kind of character Dagan's young general is, the destiny of life and death." Qiang has long been out of mind. ”

"Oh, I saw you today, what do you say?"

"The Xirong war is about to start, but this time it will be changed from Dizhou to Pingshachuan. Hey, it has nothing to do with me, so I'll leave the rest to Kara. After speaking, he paused, and then continued: "A few months ago, my clan returned to the clan land inexplicably, and Shuo Xi was suspicious. But your calculations? Qiang Xingzhi stared at Li Luo and said word by word.

"Yes." Li Luo did not hide it and responded calmly.

"Well deserved!" Qiang Xingzhi praised loudly.

Li Luo saw that Qiang's actions seemed to be from the bottom of his heart, but he was so respected, it was inevitable that the generals under Di Jie's command were dissatisfied, and coughed lightly, and Shen Xiangdong interjected: "Di Shuai, General Li." The war in Dizhou is not over, and Linxia City is still in the hands of Huimeng. Our army has long planned for the top. ”

Di Jie understood what Shen Xiangdong meant, smiled slightly, noncommittal, looked at Li Luo, and did not speak. Li Luo raised his anger and shouted: "Set up the altar and cut it down." Sacrifice my great Gan Yingling, the army rested, and three days later set up the Eagle Sorrow Gorge. ”

"Obey." The Dagan soldiers shouted in unison, and Qiang Xingzhi slowly closed his eyes and did not speak again. did not ask about the life and death of the second son again.

Three days later, early in the morning.

In front of the dew camp, an altar several zhang high was erected, cigarette smoke curled, hundreds of thousands of troops stood on both sides of the altar in a dark and heavy manner, and all the soldiers wore white belts on their arms, looking at the altar, standing solemnly.

The main general of the army, except for a few people guarding outside, before the rest of the people gathered at the altar, Li Luo took the lead, turned over and dismounted, bowed and saluted, and the whole army dismounted neatly, bowed to the altar, and bowed deeply. Li Luo looked at the altar, Xiao Suo was speechless, and the breeze of Xifu gently blew the white hair between Li Luo's temples, raising the couplets on the altar, falling again, and raising again.

"Hand in hand with you, don't worry about the road ahead; The soldiers are determined to fight, and thousands of miles will return together. Li Luo muttered.

"Xuanlou." Dijie whispered behind him.

Li Luo took a sharp breath and shouted: "Light the fire and raise the army Eagle Sorrow Gorge." ”

The soldiers all mounted their horses, and the army galloped towards the Eagle Chou Gorge, and the altar behind them was submerged in the raging fire in a few moments.

June 22.

In front of the Eagle Chou Gorge with the army of Mu Tian Wolf and the Western Expedition Army, the flag covered the sky, and no one in the defenders of the Eagle Chou Gorge dared to go out of the city to fight, and the turtle could not shrink.

Looking at the city wall several feet high, all the generals in the army frowned. If it is a strong attack, the remnants of the Xirong army have become a frightened bird, but there are many sureties to capture the Yingchou Gorge, but the Yingchou Gorge is a natural danger, and the border defense of the ancestors of Dagan will have many repairs, and now the city is high and thick, and the troops are attacking, and the casualties will be serious. Fortunately, Li Luo did not make the army attack, and Dagan set up camp with heavy troops, eyeing the tiger.

The weather is getting hot, there is no sun and moon in the army, Li Luo has left Zhuocheng for almost a year, and he has never had leisure time to look at the leaves and pastures in Xifu, how green they look.

It had been a few days since the army was encamped, and Li Luo did not send any general orders, so he only ordered the officers and men of the two armies to rest and recuperate, and each battalion to register the dead soldiers on the hour, so as to return to the army.

A few days later, seeing that July was approaching, Di Jie finally couldn't bear it, and found Li Luo, Li Luo saw Di Jie enter the account, hurriedly put down the book in his hand, got up and saluted: "Uncle, please take a seat." After Di Jie took a seat, Li Luo ordered Ni Qing to serve a cup of tea, Di Jie picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Xuanlou, you should know why I came." ”

Li Luo smiled and said, "Xuanlou guessed a few points." ”

Di Jie put down the teacup, and said straight to the point: "Although the Yingchou Gorge is steep, but it is not without flaws, our army has many generals, if it is a strong attack day and night, and then send strong soldiers with martial arts to climb the peak, the inside and the outside should be combined, there is a great chance to break through the Yingchou Gorge." ”

"What my uncle said is very true, but in this way, our army will definitely suffer a lot of casualties."

"Virtuous nephew, it is not bad to go to the army to fight, but the Eagle Chou Gorge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you wait any longer, if you let the remnants of Xirong relax, I am afraid that the casualties will be heavier when the time comes."

Li Luo Qiyan said: "Xuanlou first asked my uncle for the crime of concealment. After a slight pause, he continued: "In the camp, can my uncle see anything abnormal?" ”

"Anomaly?" Di Jie was stunned, thinking for a while, he really couldn't think of anything unusual, and shook his head blankly.

Li Luo no longer concealed it, and said bluntly: "Chi Li." ”

"Ahh Di Jie exclaimed in surprise and said, "Yes, the army has pulled out the camp by dew, no, Ben Shuai hasn't seen General Chi for a long time, right?" Di Jie glanced at Li Luo suspiciously, and when he saw Li Luo nodded, Di Jie suddenly realized, "You mean that Chi Li is now in the Eagle Sorrow Gorge?" ”

"The war in Dizhou has not fallen, Qiancheng died, after the withdrawal of the right army of Xirong, Xuanlou secretly sent Chi Li to sneak into the Yingchou Gorge while the chaos, the rest of Xirong are staring at the battle of Moxia City, but did not pay attention to the Yingchou Gorge, a few days ago, received a report from General Chi, has been hiding in the Yingchou Gorge, waiting for the opportunity, leading troops into the city, Xuanlou is worried about leaking the news, the generals in the army are hidden in the dark, and I hope that my uncle is not strange."
