In late June, the weather was scorching, and the wounded soldiers in the hospital returned to the camp one after another. There were only a few officers, who were still stranded in the city, and had nothing to do to wander around.

Dezhou, originally a rich ancient city, although after years of war baptism, but still retain many glorious buildings, Tang Yuan, Chen Bao, Tang Hu three brothers, idle in the city wandering.

Due to the pressure of the Liang army on the border this time, it is inevitable to win the land of Hebei, and many of the people who ran to Henan have run back, after all, it is difficult to leave their homeland.

When the people returned, the situation in the city was somewhat relieved, and although the price of food was still high, as long as there was money in the pocket, you could still see the prosperity of the city, and when food was expensive, other things were cheaper.

The brother from the countryside has never seen much of the world, and when the night blossom first appeared, he was dazzled by the neon scene in front of him.

When they came to a place called Sanxiang Alley, they saw a large group of flowery pavilion girls standing on the street, scratching their heads and posing, showing their coquettishness, and the brothers couldn't walk at all.

That Tang Hu snatched a handful of silver from Tang Yuan's hand, and ran away despite the injuries on his body.

Faced with this kind of scene, Tang Yuan couldn't say anything, after all, he was also the age of his blood and strength, and he was even a little nervous in his heart.

He turned his head and looked at Chen Bao with an inquiring gaze.

Chen Bao was slightly embarrassed, coughed lightly and said, "I don't have this hobby." ”

In fact, Chen Bao can't pull down his face, there is no way, the second brother is so good-looking, he thinks that he should be clean and self-conscious, he looks down on these pavilion girls, and he also looks down on those who look for pavilion girls.

Tang Yuan was not as anxious as Tang Hu, nor was he as rigid as Chen Bao, seeing a few beautiful among the pavilion girls, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, just when he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a roar behind him.

"Tang Yuan, why did you come here? Tang Hu was in a hurry just now, where did he go? ”

It's the sound of an orchid.

Tang Yuan was startled, and turned his head to look at Hu Lanhua, if it was just Hu Lanhua coming alone, it would be better to say something.

I don't know how to do it, Tang Qi is also by her side, these two women are hanging out, how did they come here?

Of course, there was also the captain of the pro-soldier Ni Zan by their side, and Ni Zan saw that Tang Yuan and Chen Bao were standing here stupidly for a long time without moving, so he "knew" what the two of them were thinking, and he couldn't stop laughing.

He smiled, giving people the feeling that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, and he was unlucky with Tang Yuan.

Extremely embarrassing.

Tang Yuan coughed lightly and said: "I haven't seen the world from the countryside, take a walk in the city and take a look, when I came here, Tang Hu felt very curious, he had to go in to drink, Chen Bao and I felt that this place was a little dirty, so we didn't go, so we waited for him outside." ”

"Really?" Hu Lanhua bit her lip and squinted.

"Of course." Tang Yuan raised his eyebrows.

While talking, he hugged his fist at Tang Qi. Tang Qi just traveled in casual clothes and wore men's clothes, so he didn't salute too formally.

Tang Qi looked at the alley, and the beautiful housemaids in the alley waved their handkerchiefs at Tang Qi vigorously.

As soon as this group of hall girls saw that this handsome young man was extraordinary, and he was gorgeously dressed, they rushed over.

Tang Qi was startled, stretched out his hand and said, "Stop them!" ”

More than a dozen pavilion girls rushed over on the opposite side, and Ni Zan was very busy.

If Ni Zan was ruthless, one punch at a time, he would be able to knock them down, but in this kind of scene, it was not appropriate to be ruthless, so he shouted: "I can't stop it, general, let's withdraw." ”

"Oh, it's still a general!"

"Keep the general!"

"Don't let the general run!"

The ladies were in a mess.

Tang Qi scolded "waste" indignantly, turned his head and left.

The pavilion girls were still unrelenting, and finally angered Hu Orchid, raised their hands to open the bow left and right, and repelled a few with a big mouth, only to deter the enthusiastic pavilion girls.

Ni Zan was unlucky, he was scolded, he couldn't laugh, and followed the general dejectedly, as if they had gone to a ready-to-wear shop.

Tang Yuan rubbed his nose and snickered.

——

The two brothers sat and drank at the wine stall outside, waiting for Tang Hu to come out.

As a result, after waiting for nearly an hour, Tang Hu walked out slowly, looking at the way he walked, light and fluttering, as if he was stepping on the clouds.

"Tang Hu, settle the wine money."

Tang Yuan grabbed a handful of sesame seeds and put them in his pocket.

Chen Bao clapped his hands and stood up.

"No, I don't have any money." Tang Hu shouted poverty.

"What did you just steal the silver?" Tang Yuan glared.

"It's all spent."

"Three taels of silver spent?"

"Not really."

Tang Yuan was so angry that he had a headache, and angrily grabbed a handful of copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the stall owner, who counted them and said, "If this is usual, this money must be enough, but now, there is a shortage of food, and the cost of brewing wine has doubled. ”

Hearing this, Tang Yuan turned his head to look at the stall owner, and seeing that this person had an honest face, he grabbed another handful and gave it to him, and the stall owner thanked him a thousand times.

Chen Bao was a little indignant, "Just drink a few bowls of wine from him, and I will have to go for so much money, if it were me, I wouldn't give him more." ”

Tang Yuan said: "It's just a little money, don't care, in the future, our brothers will definitely soar, and I am afraid that there will be no chance to drink on the street." ”

"What does that mean?" Chen Bao was puzzled.

"In the future, we're going to drink there." Tang Yuan pointed to a tall building in the distance and said, "It's better to be in the city, and when I go to Luoyang in the future, it is said that there are many high-rise buildings there, I really can't imagine what kind of weather it is." Hehe, it's beautiful to think about. ”

"That is, I heard that there are thousands of beauties in Pingkangfang in Luoyang City, and at that time, I will live in Pingkangfang all day and not come out." Tang Hu said.

Tang Yuan and Chen Bao turned their heads to look at Tang Hu at the same time.

Tang Hu was stunned: "What's the matter, am I not right?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”

Suddenly, a gong was heard.

This is the signal sound of the build-up of troops.

Seeing that the sky is about to get dark, why do you suddenly have to assemble a team?

There is no need to talk nonsense, the brothers hurriedly ran to the mansion, just like them, all the officers came from all directions, and they were not wearing armor. It's just that some of them came on horseback.

Xiao Fei sat in the mansion with a solemn face.

In fact, he didn't seem to be in a hurry, but he was a little stunned when he stood in front of a large map.

When the main generals gathered, he began to speak: "The enemy has given up on the spider web plan, but they have not given up on the battle for territory. According to the Forward Letter, Nalan Juehu has gathered 15,000 troops and is approaching Texas City. I'm going to call everyone over and discuss tactics. Everyone has their own opinions. ”

The crowd is silent.

Xiao Fei looked at the general beside him, and the general Ximen Qingkong stood up and said: "If the generals don't want to be the first to speak, then Ximen is not talented, so they will throw bricks and lead the jade here." ”

He gave up the map, came to the sand table, picked up his baton, and pointed to a small mountain road in northern Texas: "The enemy army has 15,000 men, and we, although we are three divisions, actually have less than 9,000 men. This battle cannot be fought hard-to-head. So I suggest that the soldiers be divided into three ways. All the way to garrison Texas City, all the way to the mountains and forests, all the way around behind enemy lines. When the enemy army begins to attack the city, the three forces will be killed collectively, and there may be a chance of victory. ”
