Chapter 43 The Class Master Returns to the Dynasty
When Shan Zhuokun and the others returned to the barracks, it was already twilight. After Wei Chigong and Li Yuanchang learned the news, they rushed to Yuanmen to greet them, accompanied by the adjutant general of the army.
"Shangxian, you can be regarded as back, I don't know how the battle is going?" Wei Chigong asked eagerly.
Shan Zhuokun smiled slightly, his expression was extremely calm. Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Yu Chi Baolin took over and said:
"Dad, don't worry. Shangxian has always been like a god, and this expedition killed the Hun army without much effort, which is definitely called momentum like a rainbow. ”
His personality is extremely outgoing, and he is even more enthusiastic and dancing. When everyone saw this, they couldn't help laughing.
"I can't imagine that the immortals are not only like gods, but also can use soldiers, which really impresses the king, admires, admires!" Li Yuanchang clasped his hands and said respectfully.
Seeing this, Shan Zhuokun hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, don't be polite to me." ”
With that, the crowd continued to laugh and walk forward.
Due to the defeat of the Xiongnu Valley, the enemy's spirit was suddenly greatly reduced, and the people were panicked, and they no longer had the intention of fighting. The next day, Li Yuanchang and Wei Chigong issued an order, quickly ordering all their soldiers to send troops, vowing to wipe out the Xiongnu army.
The valley is fierce, covering the sky and the sun. Under the leadership of generals such as Wei Chi Baolin and Li Zhifeng, the Tang Dynasty army was as brave as a god, and even if the Hun army was killed, there was no armor left.
Seeing the rapid turn in momentum, the commander of the Xiongnu army hurriedly issued an order to retreat, asking the soldiers to retreat. However, even so, there were still countless casualties, constantly losing armor and removing armor, and crying fathers and mothers.
Seeing that the enemy army was retreating, Yu Chi Baolin originally wanted to lead the army to continue to chase forward. I didn't want to be stopped by Shan Zhuokun halfway.
"General Wei Chi, no!" Shan Zhuokun's tone was extremely calm.
"Why not?" Yu Chi Baolin asked puzzled.
He really didn't understand why the other party wanted to stop him, as the saying goes, one blow is the king's way, could it be that the immortal doesn't even understand the truth of such a pediatrics?
"This valley is so deep and narrow, if the other party is deceitful and secretly ambushes the soldiers, what should we do?" Shan Zhuokun's tone was very hurried.
Last time, he used the method of luring the enemy deeper. Who knows, this time the Hun army will come to the same way and learn the same?
"This ......" Wei Chi Baolin was a little speechless when he heard him ask. There was a moment of silence before he said again, "Then what do you say?" ”
Shan Zhuokun shrugged: "If you want to solve this matter, the only way is to let the Huns retreat." Thinking about it, they must have been injured this time, and even if they want to recover, it will take a long time. What's more, our army has been in a stalemate with it for a long time, so it is better to withdraw to Chang'an first, and wait until the future to recuperate and fight again. ”
Yu Chi Baolin pondered for a moment, although he was really reluctant in his heart, he had to admit that the other party's thinking was extremely thoughtful. Shan Zhuokun said the truth, and the current situation can only be temporary.
"Okay, just according to what the immortal said, withdraw the troops!" He said reluctantly.
"Withdraw your troops!" After hearing the order, the adjutant general beside him gave the order.
When his soldiers heard the order, they all turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the barracks.
Along the way, Yu Chi Baolin was depressed and remained silent. Shan Zhuokun observed his words and knew what he was thinking, but he refused to explain, just smiled slightly.
When the army came to Yuanmen and the two got off their horses, he smiled and reached out and patted each other's shoulders:
"General Wei Chi, I know you can't think about it, and it's awkward again. However, you should also know that the so-called way of using troops is by no means to not preserve one's own strength, and blindly rely only on forcible fighting. It's about preserving your strength and knowing how to adapt to changes. ”
Yu Chi Baolin's heart suddenly gave birth to a warmth, and at the same time, it was also mixed with a trace of deep fear. If the other party really just lets himself blindly fight forward today, I really don't know what else will happen.
"What the Immortal said is extremely true, it was Bao Lin who didn't think about it before." Yu Chi Baolin clenched his fists with both hands and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I returned to the camp safely now, and I didn't cause any bigger mistakes." ”
Shan Zhuokun smiled and helped him up: "We were originally brothers, so there is no need to be so polite." Brother Baolin, when I arrive in Chang'an in the future, I still have a lot to ask you for, and I would like to ask for more advice. ”
Yu Chi Baolin smiled and nodded: "That's nature." ”
After that, the two came to the barracks and met with Wei Chigong, Li Yuanchang and Li Zhifeng, who had been waiting there for a long time. After briefly describing the situation of the battle, Wei Chigong immediately said that Shan Zhuokun did the right thing and thanked him.
Subsequently, after discussion, Wei Chigong made the decision that the army would return to Chang'an on the third day to recuperate. As soon as the news spread, everyone in the barracks rejoiced. The thought of finally being able to reunite with their families after nearly a year away from their hometown makes everyone overjoyed.
Despite the snow and slippery roads, the army continued to move forward, refusing to stop even if it was tired.
On the carriage, Shan Zhuokun, who was dressed in a jade-colored boy's shirt, held a curtain in his hand and looked out curiously. But I saw that the villages, rivers and mountains covered by the wind and snow were all silvery white, especially quiet and leisurely, and mixed with a touch of sadness.
Suddenly, the poet Liu Yuxi's "Jiang Xue" came to his mind, looking at the scenery outside the window, he couldn't help but chant softly:
"Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. ”
Li Yuanchang, who was sitting opposite Shan Zhuokun and wearing a lilac boy's shirt, was napping, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes and said with a smile:
"Shangxian is a good talent, and he writes poems so beautifully. Both the wording and the mood are extremely elegant. ”
Shan Zhuokun sighed lightly, thinking that it was terrible to be uneducated, how could this Han King think that this poem was written by someone from his own dynasty, but the person who wrote the poem was two hundred years later than him?
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it at all on the surface, and said with a smile: "If King Han likes it, then I will read more to you in the future." ”
"Okay." Li Yuanchang replied with a smile.
While he was talking, the carriage shook suddenly, and Li Yuanchang and Shan Zhuokun glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a surprised expression.
"Coachman, what's the matter?" Li Yuanchang stretched out his hand to open the door curtain, leaned out halfway, looked at the back of the coachman and asked.
"King Qihan, there is a river in front of you." The groom jumped out of the car, half-bent over, and said to Li Yuanchang respectfully, "Duke E Guogong wants everyone to stop and rest for a while, and then leave after finding the boat." ”
"Hmm." Li Yuanchang nodded, lowered the door curtain, and smiled at Shan Zhuokun sideways, "Shangxian, this carriage is so boring." In that case, let's get out of the car and take a walk. ”
"Okay." Shan Zhuokun replied with a smile.
The two got out of the car and came to the river, and at this moment there were already many soldiers standing on the shore, and everyone gathered together to chat.
Shan Zhuokun saw that the river had frozen, forming a thick layer of ice, and he immediately became playful, and he quickly came to the two soldiers who were closer to him and asked each other for his sword.
Although the soldier did not understand why the immortal was in such a hurry to ask him for a weapon, he also handed over his sword at the same time as he said.
Shan Zhuokun came to the river with his sword, and after sitting on the ground, he untied the straps on his legs and tied the two swords with scabbards tightly under his shoes.
Then, he stood up, spread his arms, tried his best to keep his balance, and walked slowly towards the river. Under the stunned gaze of everyone, he began to rotate lightly, performing a wonderful figure skating scene, elegant posture, constantly attracting applause from the people around him.
The reason why Shan Zhuokun has such a great skill is mainly due to the identity of a Northeasterner. In my hometown, because it snows for three months a year, every child skates or swims in winter. Under the guidance of his father, who is a sports coach, he naturally developed a strong interest in the sport, and finally after some hard work, he has the current results.
In the car, Wei Chigong was wearing a big coat and was leaning against the wall of the compartment with his eyes closed. Hearing the noise outside, he asked in surprise:
"What's going on out there?"
"Back to the Duke of the Kingdom, Shangxian is skating in the river." One of the bodyguards heard his questioning and responded with a smile outside.
"Oh?" When Wei Chigong heard this, he immediately became interested, "Let's go, take a look." ”
Accompanied by Yu Chi Baolin and Li Zhifeng and several guards, Yu Chi Gong hurried to the river. Sure enough, Shan Zhuokun was spinning in the river, his body swaying from side to side, like a swallow flying in the air.
"Shangxian, good skills." After looking at it for a while, Yu Chigong couldn't help but exclaim.
Shan Zhuokun heard the cry and quickly went ashore. After removing the two swords, he came to him with a smile.
"Guogong, it's freezing this day, and it's hard to keep warm. I thought about exercising to warm up. Anyway, being idle is idle, otherwise I'll teach everyone to skate. ”
When the soldiers around heard this, they immediately smiled. One by one, they were full of interest and competed to say yes.
"Okay, since the immortal has this intention, then let's do it." Wei Chigong looked around and said to Shan Zhuokun.
"Yes." Shan Zhuokun shook his fist at Wei Chigong, and then said in a loud voice, "Let's go, go down to the river." ”
Under his leadership, the people put their swords on their feet and held each other's hands to the river.
"Okay, everybody watch my movements." Shan Zhuokun stood in the center of the crowd and said patiently.
The crowd followed his movements and began to glide on the ice. With the sound of laughter, the originally extremely peaceful atmosphere was instantly broken, and a heat wave was set off all around.
