Wei Qing sat there in a daze, as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts.

He always thought that Mulan was emotionally attracted to him, and he also had affection for Mulan in his heart, but he didn't expect that Mulan's indulgence in lust was actually just to relieve the pain in his heart.

"Mulan!" Wei Qing said slowly: "I will always have you in my heart." Although you can't forget Ah Tu in your heart, as long as you are willing, I will still marry you, even if you don't want to, why stay in this desert, go back with me, go to the Central Plains, whatever you want! ”

Hua Mulan shook her head slowly and firmly: "Wei Qing, I don't want to go to the Central Plains again, every inch of land in the Central Plains reminds me of Atu, and now, there is another you, I only ask you, for the sake of you and I getting acquainted, let me stay in the Western Regions and live here for the rest of my life!" If you can let me stay here, I can live a few more years, or the pain will torment me day and night, and I think I'll die soon! ”

Wei Qing's heart was mixed, and he really didn't know what to say, and after a long time, he nodded and said: "It's okay, Mulan, since you are sad in your heart, then stay here for a while, and when I report to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor will arrange regular rotation of people, you settle here first, and someone will take over after a while, if you want to go back at that time, you can go back, anytime you want to go back, just send someone to bring me a message, I will immediately petition His Majesty the Emperor to replace you!" ”

Hua Mulan replied indifferently: "Thank you for this, I will remember it, but, believe that I don't need this!" ”

"Whether you use it or not!" Wei Qing said firmly: "My promise will never change, when the war is certain, I will send people to visit you regularly, if you have any needs, just say, I will do everything I can to arrange it for you!" ”

Hua Mulan nodded, stopped talking, and looked at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing also stared at Mulan.

Before they knew it, both were walking towards each other.

Wei Qing suddenly hugged Mulan and kissed her deeply.

Outside the door, there was no cloud, the sky was clear, faintly, through the crack in the door, Mulan's passionate moans and shouts sounded.

Ten days later, the whole Han army set off, this time they no longer have enemies, at least no more enemies before leaving the Western Regions, all countries along the way have been notified that they will relay to escort the Han army along the way, providing food, water, shelter and mounts, Wei Qing turned back three times one step at a time, and every time he took a step away from Wusun Wangcheng, his heart was like being cut by a knife.

It was Mulan's residence, and he was now moving away from him step by step, however, he had to go, because he was the general of the Han Dynasty and wanted to lead the entire Han army on the left back to the Central Plains.

There is a phrase that keeps echoing in his mind: men are all that women are, but women are by no means all that men are.

Along the way, they did not encounter any more dangers, the countries of the Western Regions have relayed each other, this way compared to the time, it is really very comfortable, not only one day, Wei Qing led the army back to Jiuquan again, when they set off from Jiuquan, it was the middle of summer, in the desert experienced heat, cold, poisonous insects, lack of water, quicksand, fighting, when they could return to Jiuquan, it was the golden autumn of September.

As soon as he arrived in Jiuquan, Wei Qing received news: Jiang Shilang was waiting in Jiuquan.

As soon as Wei Qing heard the news, his heart was hot, and he didn't think of Jiang Shilang, but Jiang Xiaoyu.

However, it is a pity that Jiang Xiaoyu did not come with him this time.

When Jiang Shilang saw Wei Qing, he didn't rush to tell Wei Qing why Jiang Xiaoyu didn't follow, but said a strange thing: "I have good news and bad news!" ”

"Lord Squiro, please speak!" Wei Qing replied.

On the side, Jiang Shilang's attendant coughed: "General Wei, Master Jiang has been promoted to Shangshu!" ”

Wei Qing was taken aback, Jiang Shilang was promoted to Shangshu, what about Gu Shangshu? He looked at Jiang Shilang ------ Jiang Shangshu.

Jiang Shangshu said slowly: "Check, General Gu Weidong, secretly collaborating with the enemy, the evidence is conclusive, His Majesty the Emperor is furious, and Gu Weidong has been beheaded, Gu Huairen is still in front of Shangshu, and he fled in fear of crime, and he is missing!" ”

Wei Qing was stunned, he and Gu Weidong had a grudge as soon as they met, and he had many confrontations with Gu Huairen, and he really didn't have a good impression of these two people in his heart, so when he heard these two people end up like this, he didn't have a trace of pity in his heart, but this fate made him completely unexpected, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Jiang Shangshu saw Wei Qing in a daze, and sighed softly: "This is not bad news, I haven't said bad news yet!" ”

Wei Qing's heart tightened, of course this is not bad news, but what is the bad news?

Jiang Shangshu said: "Our army's middle and right road armies are moving forward like a bamboo, and they are constantly winning, but they never expected that a month ago, the great Sima Xie Xuan was stabbed in the army, Xie Sima was killed in the post, and the general Zhu Wei was also killed, and the commander-in-chief of the right army, General Sun Ce, was injured by the enemy's arrows in the battle, and finally died, and even General Li Guang died in battle. ”

Wei Qing's head buzzed, the three most senior commanders actually ended up like this, it was really unexpected.

"Who assassinated the Great Sima and General Zhu!" Wei Qing asked.

Jiang Shangshu's face jumped: "According to the guard, it's Ma Shumou!" ”

Wei Qing was shocked again, Ma Shumou is the number one person in the world called by Gu Xiucai, a magical weapon, he has always been alone, he doesn't appear often, but every time he appears, he must kill countless people, and every time he eats people, he goes to assassinate Da Sima and General Zhu, of course he will succeed, but why did this Ma Shumou assassinate Da Sima and General Zhu.

Jiang Shangshu knew Wei Qing's doubts, and said without waiting for Wei Qing to ask: "No one knows why Ma Shumou assassinated Da Sima and General Zhu, everyone speculates, maybe this person has something to do with Gu Huairen, or maybe the Jin people bought him with a lot of money, and now all places are searching closely, hoping to find this person and arrest him!" ”

Wei Qing smiled bitterly, search closely, arrest and bring to justice, can those magistrates find out? Can you catch it? But this matter is not his business, and he can only sigh.

"I have good news!" Jiang Shangshu said: "In accordance with the will of His Majesty the Emperor, the commander-in-chief of the Left Route Army of the Han Dynasty will be promoted, the general Wei Qing will be the general of the protector of the country, and the whole army of the Han Dynasty will be unified under the command of the general Wei Qing, who will defeat the enemy in order to defeat the enemy, General Wei, please put the incense case, I will read the holy decree!" ”

Wei Qing hurriedly sent an order, arranged a large incense plan, gathered the generals, and Jiang Shangshu went to one of them to read the holy decree.

This time, not only Wei Qing was rewarded, but all the generals were promoted, Wei Qing was promoted to the general of the country, which is the highest rank among the generals, and then up to the marshal of soldiers and horses, Bai Buxin was promoted to general, Shi Qian, Liu Qi, Chen Qingzhi and Ma Chao were all promoted to hussar generals, the emperor has received an urgent report from Wei Qing, and Hua Mulan was also promoted to hussar general at the same time, stationed in the Western Regions, and rotated every three years.

After reading the holy decree, he read out the order of the military department, because the second route army on the center and right suffered large losses, the military department decided to merge the three route armies and unify them under the command of Wei Qing.

After this order was issued, it was a thanksgiving ceremony and a celebration ceremony, and it took three days of chaos to settle down, during which Wei Qing and Jiang Shangshu chatted privately, and Jiang Shangshu revealed why Jiang Xiaoyu didn't follow.

It turned out that Gu Shangshu and Gu Weidong had an accident, and His Majesty the Emperor was not only angry but also shocked, even General Fenwei and the Ministry of War Shangshu were like this, who else could he trust, so His Majesty the Emperor made a decree that all high-ranking officials should not accompany them when they left Beijing, so as to prevent them from defecting to the enemy. Although Jiang Shangshu was loyal, Jiang Xiaoyu also had to be left in Beijing, and as a result, Wei Qing was unable to meet Jiang Xiaoyu.

Wei Qing heard this reason, and sighed in his heart, but this is the case, he has no choice but to hope to defeat the Jin people as soon as possible, and when the war is over, he will meet Jiang Xiaoyu again.

A few days later, Wei Qing led the army to set off, their first stop was to meet with the middle route army, when Wei Qing expedition in the Western Regions, the Han army's center and right two roads have crossed the Yellow River, deep into the desert, everything went well, the Jin army failed again and again under the continuous blows of the Han army, the Han army once advanced to Komodo, and then the last important town of the Jin country, Uriya Sutai, but the death of the three commanders led to the Han army without command, all the way defeated, and now retreated to the Darkhan area near the border of the Jin country, to attack Uriya Sutai again, It is necessary to pass through Darkhan, Erdenet, and Komodo to reach Uriya Sutai.

When Wei Qing led the army into the desert, it was already mid-September, and after half a month, the weather was already very cold, and the southern part of the Han Empire still had a warm climate, and the climate in the north of the desert was already very cold.

The left route army of the Han army fought in the Western Regions before, and the 200,000 troops entered the Western Regions, deducting the battle damage and injuries, plus leaving some people under the command of Hua Mulan to be stationed in the Western Regions, and now there are still 150,000 people.

This time they entered the area, and the Western Regions are somewhat similar, but not exactly the same, this desert Gobi Desert, about 3,000 miles from east to west, about 2,000 miles wide from north to south, here is the hometown of the Jin Empire, since the Qin Dynasty, the Chinese historical books are called "desert", the land of the south of the desert is close to the territory of the Han Empire, and the north of the desert is the hinterland of the Jin Empire.

The Gobi is covered with coarse sand and gravel, and the following is the permafrost that does not melt all year round, a desert, the climate and environment in the Great Gobi are extremely harsh, there is very little rainfall, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, the wind and sand are extremely large, the wind speed is extremely fast and lasts for a long time, it is often a violent wind and roar, the people and horses can not move forward, marching on the vast Gobi Desert, looking around, until the limit as far as the eye can see is a desolation, the gray sand and gravel ground, there are no houses, there are no people, and there seems to be only Han soldiers left between heaven and earth.
