The autumn of the tenth year of Shaoxing had just arrived, and the number of gold soldiers gathered on the Huai River reached an astonishing 200,000, plus the ordinary herdsmen who transported military supplies, claimed to be one million. The mighty galloped towards the Great Song. In October, the official family issued an order, urgently ordering the generals Liu Jian, Yang Yizhong, and Zhang Jun to lead their troops to the Huai River to take the opportunity to respond, and the 300,000 army was divided into 24 armies, with 12 armies on the left and right roads.

Li Bai was promoted, from the guerrilla general of Wupin, to six cavalry teams, a team of 400 people, and 2,400 people. The official was specially taken care of by Gao Taiwei, and neither Lu Qian nor Lin Chong went on the expedition with the army.

After the order was issued, the congratulations between his comrades, whether sincere or false, did not make Li Bai feel fluttering, and in the face of the envy or sarcasm behind the smiles, Li Bai's expression was the same politeness, and then politely declined all the practical dinners that invited him to drink together before the expedition. Lin Chong told himself in every possible way, the last time he helped him was an accident, and the result in the future can only depend on his own creation, as long as he is in Lin'an for a day, how can the little minion twist his thighs?

The seventeen-year-old guerrilla general with a grade of five grades was also a special case in the Great Song Dynasty. But Li Bai understands that this is just a small operation for the Taiwei Mansion to remove a thorn in the eye, Gao Yu has many minions in the army, the last time Lu Qian wooed himself and was rejected, and later offended Gao Yanei, even if he didn't die for the Great Song Dynasty, it was difficult for the consciousness of the horse leather shroud to wait intact until the day the class teacher returned to the court. Now that this situation is promoting him, such sinister intentions are already known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart. Li Bai has every reason to believe that maybe on the first day of going to the battlefield, he will be ordered to take a few thousand people to attack the 50,000 Jin soldiers.

It's not a good thing to come out so quickly.

Before the expedition, there was a three-day holiday to recuperate, and Li Bai, who returned home, did not go out for a stroll. Instead, he accompanied his sister Li Qingzhao at home. At this time, he was sitting on a stone in the courtyard basking in the sun, stunned. The sunlight slowly rising from the east dragged his shadow closer and closer, and when viewed from the side, the young man's delicate face seemed to be gilded with a layer of gold.

"Brother Xiaobai, what's wrong?"

Knowing that Li Bai was about to go on an expedition, Master Li, who had been friends on weekdays, specially made some food to find the sister and brother. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Bai in the courtyard, and at this time, I couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"It's General Xiaobai." Li Bai closed his eyes and said lazily.

Master Li glanced at him and changed his words: "Yes, yes, General Xiaobai, how did you become a general, but you look unhappy?" ”

Li Bai didn't make a sound, and Li Qingzhao in the side room heard Master Li coming, and came out with a faint sigh and said, "Whoever is promoted at this time can't be happy." ”

Master Li was puzzled: "I have never seen a person who has been promoted but has a drooping face, what about the guerrilla general, there are thousands of cavalry under his command, isn't it majestic?"

Li Qingzhao snorted coldly and said: "You know a fart, a few days ago, Xiaobai just offended the Taiwei Mansion, and this official happened to be recommended by Gao Taiwei, is there a lot of thousands of people?" At that time, as long as the superiors do not order the troops to retreat, and the war drums do not stop for a while, you will have to fight desperately and die, sometimes very quickly, especially when someone wants you to die. ”

Master Li was stunned for a moment and understood what Li Qingzhao meant.

"Despicable!"

Li Bai pursed his lips and said, "Despicable? What is this? No matter which dynasty or generation, there are too many people who have been tricked to death by these party members who control the government. Even if you are lucky, you have climbed step by step to the most shaky mountain in the world, every step is full of thorns, full of crises and traps, even if you are careful, you don't know when to step on the air, fall from the mountain, the higher you climb, the heavier you fall, and people with broken bones abound. Let's just say that behind General Han and General Yue, there are countless broken dreams that have fame but are taken right away. But what about General Yue? As long as they think you hate it, you won't even be able to find the corpse. ”

At the end of the day, the imperial court is their imperial court, and the army is theirs.
