In the first month of the eighth year of the Great Cause, all the conscripts were concentrated in Zhuo County, with a total of 1.13 million people, known as 2 million, and Yang Guang divided them into 12 routes according to the military government to which they belonged. Starting from the third day of the first lunar month, an army will be sent every five days thereafter, with a distance of 40 miles before and after, and it will take more than 60 days to complete the departure. The armies are connected to each other, the drums and horns are heard, the flags are connected, the imperial forest army of Emperor Yang finally set off, stretching for more than ten miles, and the history is called "the prosperity of the division in ancient times, and there is no such thing." ”

At this time, Yu Wenming's tenth team also received the first order after departure: to go to the left side of the army to investigate, in case there is an ambush and sneak attack by the Goryeo army.

Yuwenshu's Zuo Lingwei army was the fifth to set off. After receiving Yang Guang's order, the army left Zhuojun in a mighty manner and marched slowly towards the plains of western Liao.

Almost everywhere they walked along the way, there were forests and grasslands. However, now all these places are covered in a thick layer of snow, and there is no trace of green in sight.

The Koreans hid early, and even if there were villages along the way, they were empty, and even the wells were filled with mud. It seems that he is planning to clear the wilderness.

Yu Wenming's group of ten people had already left the large army and headed northeast. Since the road was full of forests, it was highly likely that the Goryeo army would hide in the woods and deliver a fatal blow when the Sui army was tired and resting. Therefore, Yuwenshu did not dare to be careless at all. Even though he knew that he had already gone through the four-way army in front of him, he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

At this time, because it was still the first lunar month, the night was very cold, and a faint white mist had risen in the forest, making the surrounding vision a little unclear. However, Yu Wenming and his group are all elite people, and Da Sui is now in the time of abundance, and the leather clothes and velvet blankets to protect against the cold have already been prepared. Although alcohol was not allowed in the army, considering the cold climate outside the Guan, Yuwen Chengdu relaxed the restrictions and allowed them to bring some spirits to keep out the cold.

After pouring a few large sips of liquor, the horses were herded into a large tent to rest so that they would not freeze. Then each of them wrapped themselves in a blanket, and went into their tents, and fell asleep.

Yu Wenming was also camping alone for the first time, and as the team leader, he naturally took on the duty of the first night. And the one on duty with him was Hong Xiu.

was able to fight with him for so many rounds, and finally reluctantly lost due to lack of arm strength, he is indeed a very powerful master of the rivers and lakes.

At present, it has just left Zhuo County, and it has not yet left the territory of the Great Sui, and no matter how bold the Goryeo army is, it is impossible to run to the territory of the Sui Dynasty to sneak attack. The reason why Yuwen Chengdu gave such an order was also to let them get familiar with the work of being scouts as soon as possible.

Yu Wenming smiled bitterly and found a stone to sit down next to the tent, next to which was a bonfire to be used to make a fuss.

However, although it was the first time he had been to the cold outside the country, he was not afraid of the cold. Under the operation of immortality, the ambiguous streams poured into the various meridians of the body from the dantian, making the cold wind outside the pass as warm as a spring breeze, and it was not cold at all.

He picked up the wine bag, took a large sip of it, and then roasted two more pieces of beef on the campfire. He glanced at Hong Xiu, who was not far away, and found that he was also looking at him, his eyes were extremely clear.

"Guy, you can go sleep for a while, I'll watch it for you here!" At this time, Na Hong Xiu came over, sat beside him, and said with a faint smile.

"Hehe, I thought you wouldn't come." Yu Wenming also smiled back, and then said: "Your martial arts are very good, with your skills, it is impossible to be just a small soldier." It's a pity that you committed a crime and were confiscated...... Otherwise, at least it's a gang leader. By the way, where did you learn from? ”

He had a fight with this Hong Xiu, and he felt that this person was not only strong in martial arts, but also seemed to have some similarities with his own martial arts. However, Li Jing had already told him that he had accepted him as an apprentice, and Li Jing had no other senior brothers, so how could Hong Xiu's martial arts have a sense of déjà vu?

Hong Xiu laughed softly: "Leader, I know that you are very curious about my teacher, just like we are very curious about your origin, but I don't know if you are willing to tell me?" ”

Yu Wenming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this Hong Xiu to speak so bluntly, which made him embarrassed to ask the bottom line. At this moment, there was a loud sound in the tent, which gave him the opportunity to fork the topic.

He coughed dryly twice and said, "...... If you don't want to say it, forget it, I'm not a person who likes to snoop on other people's privacy anyway. It's just that these guys are sleeping so fast! I fell asleep after just a while, and I was not afraid of the enemy's sneak attack! ”

Hong Xiu didn't care, and defended his companions: "Huo Chief, in fact, they all know in their hearts, if they are in Goryeo now, they will not be so worry-free. At present, before the big war, it is normal to get a good night's sleep and recuperate your physical strength. ”

Speaking of this, he asked with some curiosity, "Huo Chang, how old are you this year?" Eighteen no? They're all betting that you're not eighteen! ”

Yu Wenming laughed and said, "I'm just a little tender, in fact, I'm almost twenty." ”

"Really? Why don't I look like it? Hong Xiu smiled slightly, but two small dimples appeared on his white face, which looked very good.

"Humph! These guys don't dare to challenge me face to face during the day, and they will guess behind their backs! Yu Wenming snorted coldly, but he could also guess that Hong Xiu had obviously doubted his age and identity, and he didn't believe that he was a person with no background at all.

"But to be honest, your martial arts are indeed very strong, I guess that even our team can't beat you, only General Yuwen should be able to beat you. By the way, you shouldn't be a member of General Yuwen's clan, right? Hong Xiu asked with a smile.

"I'll explain it to you later, but I can't say it now!" As soon as Yu Wenming heard Hong Xiu say this, he knew that he had guessed a little.

Hong Xiu chuckled at this time and said, "Hehe, in fact, although you didn't reveal your identity. But a blind man can also see that General Yuwen personally summoned ten team leaders, and then solemnly assigned the ten new team commanders to you. And the ten gang leaders are all surnamed Yuwen, isn't this an obvious thing? ”

After Yu Wenming heard this, he was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a big loophole in Yuwen Chengdu's arrangement, and this matter was an obvious fact, as soon as the teams asked each other, they could know it, and they couldn't hide it.

"Not bad! We are all children of the Yuwen Valve, and we came to participate in this battle to accumulate some combat experience. But I don't want you to have thoughts of fear or contempt for me because of who I am. You can do whatever you want, just treat me like an ordinary guy! "Yu Wenming is the right color road.

His answer made Hong Xiu slightly surprised, which was very different from the image of the children of the wealthy family in his usual image.

At this moment, Hong Xiu's face changed, he raised his voice, and shouted: "What person? ”

In fact, he didn't say it, Yu Wenming also felt it, and in the woods more than twenty zhang away from them, there seemed to be the sound of feet stepping on snow.

Hong Xiu immediately put his finger to his mouth, blew hard, and a sharp whistle suddenly sounded. The sleeping people in the tent were awakened in an instant. Everyone picked up bows and arrows and weapons and waited for them. Many of them had even drawn their bows and aligned themselves with the sound.

"Don't get me wrong! It's your own people. At that moment, a hoarse voice came from the woods.

A moment later, five or six young men dressed as Sui soldiers came out of the bushes, and because the branches were covered with snow, there was a lot of snow on their heads and shoulders.
