Yulian looked at the red clothes who were covered in pain and felt pity in her heart, and she didn't know how this stupid girl ran all the way down the mountain to here. Hongyi has never practiced martial arts, and he has suffered a lot of crimes by running down the mountain all the way. Looking at the bruises on his face, I don't know how many times I fell, and my palms peeled off a layer of skin. Yulian took out the armkerchief from her waist and wiped the blood stains on the red clothes, she really didn't know what to say about this stupid girl.

Hongyi complained and said: "Sister, don't leave the red clothes, it's okay for the red clothes to accompany my sister for the rest of her life." ”

Instead of answering Hongyi's words, Yulian smiled bitterly and wiped the blood stains from her palms and wrapped the armkerchief around her injured arm. Yulian gently patted the red clothes who shook her head, slowly got up and said, "The red clothes listen to my sister, follow Xiaozhao to live a good life." My sister can live well alone, and Hongyi is also an adult. A girl as old as you, the child is all hugged. Obedient. ”

Suddenly, Hongyi slowly looked up at Yulian, and the tip of his nose was hooked by his slender fingers. Yulian got up decisively and said, "Someone will stay in red." As he spoke, he boarded the car, and the two palace maids grabbed the red clothes. Yulian sat in the carriage and whimpered softly, she really couldn't bear to let the red clothes enter the palace to block her nature.

The car didn't drive away quickly, only to hear the tearing shout behind him: "Sister, sister......."

Yulian in the car hid her face and cried, and she was still a little uncomfortable when she suddenly left the red clothes. endured not to look at the heart-rending red clothes behind the convoy, for fear that one would not bear to stop and take away the red clothes. Bring his misfortune to Hongyi, and say that Xiaozhao is a good boy and will definitely take good care of his sister.

Appearing early in the morning and not entering Taiping City until noon, Yulian lifted the curtain and looked at the familiar streets of Taiping City. There doesn't seem to be any change from two years ago, but none of those people back then are in Taiping City. It is said that after the Pingnan army was launched, Taiping City was much less fun. Without the intrusion of the gentlemen, it seems that Taiping City is much less angry.

I still remember the first time I entered Taiping City, met Yang Chen, and then met Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming pushed himself out in order to see his fiancée Zheng Yarong. As if those things had just happened, happy things always went so fast, and it had been five years since I left my hometown in the blink of an eye.

The car drove through the West Market all the way to the imperial city, and Yulian was nervous. I don't know how to face Xiao Yin, but I'm actually more afraid of seeing the queen. I remember the first time I saw the queen, it seemed like a feud, but it was the end of the point.

After passing through the West City, Yulian looked at the pedestrians on the road, and there was no change from two years ago, except for the lack of a dazzling girl. Yulian lifted the curtain and asked, "How long is it?" ”

The palace maid led by the leader stepped forward and said: "Back to Niangniang, there are many people in the city, and you can enter the palace in half an hour." ”

Yulian sat quietly on the carriage, not looking at the scenery outside. It was nothing more than that there were guards in front to dismiss the people of Xishi, and the convoy went all the way forward. Not only is there no excitement to speak of, but more people still have to be watched.

Walking through the bustling West Market to the outside of the palace, Yulian actually saw the outer wall of the palace for the second time. As in memory, nothing has changed, and the chariots are divided into two groups and enter the palace at a time. Yulian just rode in the carriage, not knowing that she would enter the palace.

Traveling

When the car finally stopped, someone shouted, "Niangniang, we have arrived, please get out of the car." The two palace maids lifted the curtain, and Yulian walked out of the car. Suddenly I saw a familiar palace, and it was still Qinglin Palace.

Yulian smiled helplessly, she had only been away from here for less than two years, and she had finally come back. Under the guidance of the palace maid, Yulian walked out of Qinglin Palace, and the palace remained unchanged from when she left. The former palace maids are still there, but a lot of people have been added, and now they are not beauties but concubines.

Not long after entering the Qinglin Palace, I suddenly found that a begonia placed under the eaves was still slim. Looking at the begonia flowers, the palace maid who had served Yulian said: "The slave has been taking care of it since the mother left. ”

Yulian nodded lightly and suddenly turned around, looking at more than twenty people kneeling down and shouting, "Slave maid see Yu Guifei." ”

The war in Nanjing lasted for two years, and it was the longest stalemate between the two countries in more than 20 years. After a decisive battle, the armies of the two sides can only be regarded as equal, and Nanchu continues to increase its troops. Although there was no large-scale battle again, the major camps of both sides continued to have their own victories and defeats.

Although Chen Geng, the commander of the Changfeng Army, was not as brilliant as Lin Xie's 12 years of garrisoning Nanjing, his command of the battle did not allow a single soldier of the Chu army to step into the beam. At the same time that a country's resources were tilted towards the Pingnan army, Chen Geng set up the Nanjing border defense with difficulty. One decisive battle, five large-scale battles were insufficient, but the defense made the Southern Chu army very large. In the past two years, no military town has been built, and more of the mighty Great Wall has been built with the bodies of soldiers.

When the battle between the two armies was at its most intense, Chen Geng issued three general orders that no one could disobey: soldiers must not die, and they must not harass the people. The defenders of the city will die, and they will not abandon the city until the last man falls. The major battalion owners will not be decisive and will not be constrained.

Especially in the third military order, more than 200,000 soldiers can fight separately after excluding the 50,000 Changfeng army defending the city in Fenyang Military Town. For a time, there was no control from the commander, and the border armies in various places developed rapidly. The collection of the victory over the Chu army was all owned by the first army, and this decree approved by the emperor himself, the major battalions were not afraid of war, but they were afraid that there would be no battle to fight. The 200,000 people were scattered, so that Nanchu could not find a suitable opportunity for a decisive battle, but was constantly harassed by the Liang army, so he could only disperse his forces and stalemate with each other.

An invincible army of 3,000 men in Lishui County was enshrined by the local people, especially the young general, who was approachable. When you go to the battlefield, you are like a god of killing, and when you go to the battlefield, you turn into a gentle son. Lishui County is not large, there are only 6,000 people in the city, and there are only more than 30,000 people in the area under control.

Located on the border between the two countries, it was often harassed by the Chu army, and after the war between the two countries, almost every family in Lishui County was vegetarian. Just talk about how many women and children there are in the county, and it is rare to see sturdy men, even gray-haired old people. Especially in the past two years, the Chu army has not stopped attacking, and the already small population has voluntarily participated in the war, and everyone can fight.

It is recorded in the county chronicles that in the seventeenth year of Qinghe, the Chu army was on its back, and the city of Lishui County was full of soldiers. Without the support of the imperial court, the county commander took the government to the city tower and the Chu army's attack reached two months. until there is nothing left in the city

A tree, the grain is not a little white.

Under such circumstances, instead of capturing the county seat, the Chu army suffered heavy losses, which brought an opportunity for the decisive battle of the Changfeng army. But when the fighting had subsided, it was discovered that seventy percent of the city was made up of women, the older of whom were of late age, and the youngest of whom were no older than the first age. The empty county can only be said to be empty, only children waiting to be fed.

It's just recorded in the county chronicles that the old people in the county town talked about the tragedy of the war that year. Even so, Lishui County is still barren, as if this world's credit has nothing to do with the people who have lived in Lishui County for generations.

Far southwest of Lishui County, a cavalry flew over the river, and as early as three days ago, it found a Chu army approaching Lishui County, and plundered the distant villages several times. Although the casualties were not large, the people who were already living a hard life could not harvest in the autumn, and the grain was snatched away by the Chu army, and how to survive this winter is a big thing.

Liu Zhixing, who personally led the 200 cavalry, held a spear in his hand and asked, "Is Zhang Xing's news reliable?" ”

Zhang Xing looked around and said: "That's right, in the morning, the villagers of Bashangzhuang ran to the barracks and said in person that they found the Chu army here. The man was inarticulate, but there was nothing wrong with the place. ”

The surroundings were quiet and terrible, and Liu Zhixing only heard the wind but did not see anyone. Stretched out his hand and patted the horse's mane and said, "Let's go, let's go to the village and see the situation." I always felt that something was wrong. As he spoke, he walked towards the village, and the two hundred were all cavalry.

Close to Bashang Village, Zhuangzi has a population of more than 100 people, but it is a multi-household. Liu Zhixing looked at the smoke drifting in the wind, and his tense heartstrings loosened a little. Someone is cooking, at least it's not too late for Zhuangzi to be destroyed by the Chu army. Liu Zhixing ordered the two horsemen to go to the village to inquire about some news, and after waiting for a long time, they did not see the two horsemen return.

Liu Zhixing looked at the smoking house again, and suddenly frowned and asked, "Zhang Xing, are you sure that it was the villagers of Bashangzhuang who came to the barracks today." Zhang Xing was weak when he asked him like this, and the two of them walked for nearly half an hour, but the distance of two miles and the war horse should have come back a long time ago.

Unable to say a word for a long time, Liu Zhixing suddenly dismounted and walked a few steps forward, remembered a handful of dry soil in his hand, twisted it and scattered it in the air, watched the breeze blow the dust to the east and said: "It seems that the people of Bashangzhuang have been captured by the Chu army, and the two of them may not be able to come back, Zhang Xing looks at the good things you have done." ”

Everyone didn't understand what Liu Zhixing meant, but the smoke in the house was still continuous. Liu Zhixing said fiercely: "Whoever can cook for half an hour, I'm afraid that the smoke will be more than half an hour." Strange eyes stared at Zhang Xing.

Suddenly he turned over and got on his horse, glanced at the rear, and rode forward with a gallop of 200 cavalry following closely behind. Liu Zhixing suddenly picked up his spear and rode up on horseback, directly stepping over the low earthen wall into the village. Looking at the deserted Zhuangzi, two hundred cavalry followed closely into the Zhuangzi, and saw that the Zhuangzi was full of corpses, and the houses were emitting faint black smoke.

Walking into the center of the village, I found two groups of war horses swaying and eating hay, and the riders who had just entered the Zhuangzi were lying beside them. Liu Zhixing saw that the two died quietly, and immediately reacted and said

"Withdraw, withdraw." ”

Immediately turned the horse's head and tried to escape, but suddenly a rain of arrows flew from the sky. Liu Zhixing looked up and forgot to glance at it, and then shouted: "Rush out." "There has been no appearance of Chu soldiers, and it is not very far from Bashang Zhuang, and I have been waiting to enter Zhuangzi.

Liu Zhixing rode a horse with arrow feathers and galloped, and the soldiers behind him fell one by one. I don't know how many people fell in the Zhuangzi after a round of arrows, and when they rushed out of the Zhuangzi, the sky was full of fire. Liu Zhixing's face was black, and now he could only escape first.

Only then did he stop and look at the mighty cavalry of the Chu army neatly appearing on the opposite side of Bashangzhuang, Liu Zhixing felt afraid in his heart, if he was a step slower just now, these more than 200 people would all stay in Bashangzhuang. Looking at the banner that was erected, a big "Wu" was written on it

Liu Zhixing looked at the soldiers of the 13th Battalion who were almost 200 people behind him, and Zhang Xing gritted his teeth and stared at the opposite side. Liu Zhixing was not afraid, but said with a smile: "It seems that we have met an old opponent, who cut down the flag today Lao Tzu gave him a jar of wine." ”

Standing with a spear pointing at the opposite side and smiling, he stepped up his horse's belly and galloped around the dam village. I thought to myself: This guy actually used Lao Tzu to play with the rest of the stuff.
