Qingshi Ridge, also known as Osaka Mountain, is located between Huangshui and Datong River, belongs to the middle section of Qilian Mountain, stretches nearly 400 miles, nearly 100 miles wide, the average altitude is more than 4,000 meters, during which there are many snow-capped mountains, like a jade belt to isolate Hexi and Qinghai, the mountain is steep and abnormal, since ancient times it is difficult for birds to cross the moat, except for the occasional medicine picker who enters the mountain, even the hunter is rarely haunted in this dangerous place of high mountains and dense forests, but at this time there is a strange army is trudging between the mountains.

It is said that this army is strange, it is because this army does not wear armor and helmets, all of them are dressed in grass-green cloth clothes, wearing strange-looking big caps on their heads, covering leather jackets, and not holding swords, guns, swords, halberds in the ordinary sense, not to mention any shields, bows and crossbows, etc., carrying a fire-burning stick on their shoulders, and a bulging cloth bag hanging from their waists.

"Brothers, work harder, and if you climb this mountain again, you will reach the ground!"

Although it is light, most of the time it is walking along the mountain stream path, and there is no need to climb over the snow-capped mountains, but the road is rugged and uneven, the grass and trees are also extremely lush, and there are many poisonous insects infestation, this way, Rao is the pioneer battalion of the first brigade is the most elite soldiers selected by the whole army, but after three days and nights of difficult trekking, they are all tired and panicked, and the speed of march is getting slower and slower. The already slow marching speed has dropped to the point of crawling like a turtle in an instant, and as soon as this situation comes out, Lu Sansheng, the commander of the pioneer battalion, is in a hurry, pulling his hoarse throat, shouting and cheering for his soldiers, but unfortunately the effect is really not great, and Lu Sansheng is so anxious that he wants to go crazy.

"What's going on, why are you stagnating, Lu Sansheng, what are you doing!"

Just as the so-called house leak was subjected to continuous rain, just when Lu Sansheng was restless, a loud roar suddenly sounded, so shocked that Lu Sansheng couldn't help but be a spirit, looking back, he saw a burly strong man striding over the meteor, the speed was as fast as lightning, and the general sergeant regarded it as a rugged mountain road, for this person, it was as easy as walking on the ground.

"Deputy brigade commander, it's not that his subordinates refuse to do it, you see that this mountain is so steep, the brothers have not closed their eyes for three days and three nights, if you really want to force it, the casualties ......"

Lu Sansheng, as the commander of the forward battalion, has always had a strong personality, and he has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, even in front of the brigade commander Xiao Sanlang, he dared to defend bluntly, but when he saw the person, he did not dare to have the slightest presumptuousness, just because the new deputy brigade commander Liu Ziming is not an idle person, when it comes to military qualifications, not to mention that he Lu Sansheng won, even the brigade commander Xiao Sanlang is far less than what if, not to mention that Liu Ziming's martial arts are also the first person in this first brigade, Lu Sansheng really doesn't dare to compete with Liu Ziming, helpless, I had to trot forward and explain in a low voice.

"Hmm......"

Although Liu Ziming was anxious about the slow journey, he was not ruthless, and he couldn't do anything to disregard the life and death of the soldiers for the sake of military merit, as soon as he heard Lu Sansheng's explanation, and then looked around at the haggard faces of the surrounding soldiers, his heart couldn't help but tremble, but when he thought of Li Xian's strict orders and the Hehuang army that was fighting hard in Tuguhun, Liu Ziming didn't dare not harden his heart, but this kind of forcible order was obviously not so easy to do, and under the dilemma, Liu Ziming didn't know what to say for a while.

"Ziming!"

Just when Liu Ziming was indecisive, he heard a greeting sounding in the clouds and mist on the mountainside, the sound was not loud, Zhongzheng was peaceful, but it could make every officer and soldier present hear clearly, which showed that the person's internal strength cultivation was amazing, and all the officers and soldiers were shocked, and they all looked up at the mountain involuntarily.

"Brother Ye, why are you here? But what's wrong with Falling Eagle Ridge? ”

Although the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade are selected warriors from the entire Hexi Army, they are still ordinary people in general, and they can't help but be shocked by the magical body of the person who came, but Liu Ziming himself is also one of the top masters, so he will not be very curious about it, but he is very nervous about the intention of his coming, and he is already impatient to ask before the person can gain a firm foothold.

"The situation is not right, this morning there are a thousand Tibetan thieves have preemptively occupied Luoying Ridge, in addition, according to the news of the sentinels, there are still many soldiers and horses are rushing to Luoying Ridge, Li is at the helm of few people, and he does not dare to fight, so he asked Ye to rush to report a message."

The person who came was Ye Sheng, one of the three masters of the action group, who was ordered to follow Li Yaodong and others to be responsible for the investigation of the enemy's situation.

"What? Is there such a thing? It's not good, the Hehuang army is in danger! ”

Liu Ziming is calm by nature, and he has followed Li Xian for a long time, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he has already become a fine character, but when he heard what Ye Sheng said, he still couldn't help but exclaim, not that his temperament is too bad, but that the situation is really crisis, once Luoyingling is occupied by the Tubo army, not only Li He's Hehuang army will be wiped out due to the cut off of the way back, but also the first brigade in the mountains once discovered by the enemy, it will be difficult to escape the doom of defeat, if this is the case, the entire campaign to conquer Tubo will only end in failure, And this is a weight that Liu Ziming categorically cannot bear.

"That's true, the Tubo army coming from the east is the fastest, and it can reach Luoying Ridge at noon tomorrow at the latest."

Ye Sheng explained with a solemn face, and his dark face was full of worry that could not be concealed.

"One day, only one day?" Liu Ziming muttered in distress, then shook his head suddenly, looked around at the stunned pioneer battalion soldiers with his eyes wide open, and roared with a resolute face: "Brothers, the brothers of the Hehuang Army are fighting desperately, and they urgently need me to go and respond, Your Highness is also looking forward to the news of our success, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, for Your Highness, for the prestige of my first brigade, crossing this mountain is victory, fight!" ”

"The deputy brigade commander is right, we are the first brigade in the world, if we don't fight at this time, when will we wait, Hugh told the friendly army to look down, brothers, follow me!"

Lu Sansheng is the first group of veterans who were selected into the firearms unit, when the new army was formed, the army was called the "wooden army", this shame Lu Sansheng will never forget, he did not want the army's first battle to end in failure, so he shouted wildly, strode up the steep mountain path, and climbed up with all his might.

"Fight!"

"Let's go!"

"Grandma's, dead or alive, keep up, rush!"

……

Those who can be selected for the pioneer battalion are all blood bravers, and when they saw their own battalion commander taking the lead in this way, they were all enthusiastic, and they roared and followed, and the fatigue of running around for days disappeared under the impact of such blood......

"Your Highness, the Holy Decree has arrived!"

The bureau has been laid, the prelude to the war has also been opened, but it is not yet the time of the hole cards, the arrangements that should be made have already been arranged, the set of sets has already been prepared, and the front scheduling is frequent, but Li Xian, the coach, has nothing to do except wait, and he is in a state of anxiety, so he simply no longer cares about the huge war that is about to begin, and sneaks into the back garden, gathers with his wives and concubines, and teases the three lively and lovely sons by the way. saw Gao Miao coming in a hurry, and revealed a news that surprised Li Xian.

Uh-huh, is it coming so fast? As soon as he heard that the holy decree had arrived, Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned, not that he was curious about the content of the holy decree, in fact, this holy decree had not yet left the palace, and Li Xian already knew the contents, which was nothing more than the edict that allowed Li Xian to ask for the war recital.

"Open the middle door, Lone will go to receive the order!"

Li Xian thought about it for a while, although he felt a little strange, but he was not too worried, so he stood up and waved his hand to order.

"No!"

Li Xian had an order, Gao Miao didn't dare to delay it, so he respectfully agreed to the promise, and went to arrange for the people in the house to prepare for the order, and he has handled such an errand over the years, and he will not go out of the pool, and when Li Xian changes his clothes and comes out, all the matters of receiving the order have been properly arranged.

Hey, how could it be him? Which play is the old man singing? Although receiving the decree is a big event, Li Xian has experienced too much, and he has long been used to it, and he will not be very nervous at all, but when he saw the little eunuch who came to deliver the decree, Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, just because the little eunuch was actually Liu Qiming, the eunuch who Li Xian had painstakingly placed beside Gaozong.

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness!"

When Liu Qiming saw Li Xian come out, his face instantly flashed with a burst of excited red light, but in front of everyone, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only take a few steps forward in a decent manner, and then stood on his feet reservedly, bowed slightly, and saluted in a posture.

"The father-in-law is polite, since the father has a will, then there will be a declaration by the father-in-law."

Li Xian politely replied with a half-salute, then flicked his big sleeves, said a businesslike word, walked behind the incense case, lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt on the futon.

"The Son of Heaven has an edict saying: Tubo Xiaokou has repeatedly violated the border, and it is really not a good neighbor......

Seeing that Li Xian had knelt down, Liu Qiming didn't dare to delay a little, cleared his throat slightly, and procrastinated according to the script, and his voice was also melodious and frustrating, but Li Xian's heart was not on it, he just listened indiscriminately with a match, and his mind had long since lost his mind......
