“…… Both the offense of Tianwei, since the punishment should be punished, fortunately there is the British king brave, on behalf of my personal expedition, quasi-control of Hexi, Longyou, Anxi soldiers and horses, to win the victory, in order to comfort my heart, admiration! ”

The holy decree is very long, and there are a lot of verbosities, to sum it up, in fact, it is just one sentence - you are going to fight, I am accurate, other than that, there is no rest, it is really the proclaimer is tired, and the listener is even more tired, but this is the holy decree, even if it is noisy, no one dares to say it indiscriminately.

"Son's order, thank you!"

Li Xian was really too lazy to listen to so much nonsense, but at this moment, he couldn't be rude, and as soon as the word "admiration" came out, Li Xian patiently thanked him and stood up.

"The slave maid said hello to His Highness, and I wish His Highness a successful start and success."

As soon as he saw Li Xian get up, Liu Qiming hurriedly accompanied the smiling face to greet the general, and handed over the rolled holy decree to Li Xian's hands, and a series of pleasing words came out of his mouth.

"Father-in-law Liu, you have worked hard all the way, please use some wine and food inside?"

Although Liu Qiming is Li Xian's person, but this is a secret, under such a public, the politeness that should be there is indispensable, Li Xian smiled and waved his hand, and said the word "please".

"Don't dare, don't dare, Your Highness, please first."

Li Xian was polite, Liu Qiming didn't dare to really take advantage of Li Xian, so he hurriedly took two small steps back, bowed down, and let Li Xian take the first step.

"Then let's go together."

Li Xian had something in his heart, and he didn't want to waste more time on red tape, so he waved his hand, and after giving a command, he raised his feet and turned back to the main gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion first, Liu Qiming saw this, he didn't dare to slack off, he was busy taking small steps, half a step behind, followed closely behind Li Xian, and also marched into the gate, all the way straight into the hall of the second door without saying a word, after the guests and hosts sat down, there were a group of attendants who served the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then they retreated, leaving only the guests and hosts in the hall to sit opposite each other.

"Qiming, I've worked hard for you this time, I can see that you are safe and sound, and I can feel at ease."

After everyone retreated, Li Xian was much more casual, did not say those polite words that were not very nutritious, and thanked him directly, of course, this thank you is not Liu Qiming's message, but thank him for his loyalty to heaven and hearing from the past.

"To be able to serve His Royal Highness, it is really the luck of the slave maid, although I dare not quit a hundred deaths, unfortunately there is no such opportunity, before the slave and maid come, Your Majesty has another message, so that the slave and maid do not have to go back to the palace, so that they stay in His Highness's house, the slave and maid have nowhere to go, I implore His Highness to take it in."

Liu Qiming can be valued by Li Xian, naturally he is not a fool, he can understand the meaning of Li Xian's words, his eyes can't help but turn red, get up and walk to the few sons where Li Xian is sitting, kneel on the ground, and say excitedly.

Verbal? Oh, the old man is really well-intentioned, it's just that, it's come to this, let's see! Li Xian is a shrewd individual, just hearing this, he has already guessed the two meanings inside, one is naturally to give Li Xian face and save Liu Qiming's life, as for the second, there is no lack of warning Li Xian, this is to tell Li Xian not to wantonly stuff people in front of the palace, and if there is another matter, it will not end so easily.

"Qiming doesn't have to be like this, there is indeed a lack of suitable manpower around Lonely, so it's okay, and then he will take Gao Miao's deputy first, and when it is convenient for him in the future, Lone will adjust it again, so can it be done?"

It doesn't matter if the old man has a seizure or not, this person still has to be stuffed after all, otherwise, I don't know when he was cheated by the Empress Wu, and that day can't pass, of course, this thought Li Xian himself knows it, and he won't talk about it in front of Liu Qiming, Li Xian raised his hand in vain, and gave a promise with a smile.

"Slave and maid, thank Your Highness for your love, and you should repay Your Highness's great kindness!"

The position of the deputy head of the British Prince's Mansion is not trivial, compared to Liu Qiming's original position, but it is more than a step higher, and he has no reason to be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly kowtowed.

"Well, this matter is settled, Gao Miao!"

After that, Li Xian didn't want to make any more noise, so he raised his voice and shouted.

"The slave is here!"

Hearing Li Xian's call, Gao Miao, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, did not dare to slack off a little, and hurried up to the hall and replied respectfully.

"From now on, Qiming is Er's deputy, and the two of you in the house have discussed and done it, so let's go."

Li Xian gave a few simple instructions, and then sent Gao and Liu away, and then sat down in the hall without getting up, his eyes looked at the northwest with a slight solemnity, and he fell into deep thought......

Luoying Ridge, a mountain peak on the west side of Qilian Mountain is not too high, although the altitude is also about 3,000 meters, but because it is located on the plateau, its own height is only less than 200 zhang, just because the mountain shape is like a goshawk lying on the ground, so it is named Luoying Ridge, this mountain is strange and rocky, there are few plants and trees, and it is located in the remote, inaccessible, it is a desolate place, it is common to not see people for ten years and eight years, but it is already a thing of the past, since the day before yesterday, more than 1,000 Tubo troops arrived, this mountain has been completely disturbed, A group of Tibetan soldiers not only built two stone walls that were not too high in the middle of the mountainside, but also built a huge camp on the top of the mountain.

"Hurry up, move the damn fast, the general will be here soon, if you can't build a camp, you won't be able to cut off a few heads!"

At the top of the mountain, a Tubo general dressed in the costume of a thousand households is holding a horse whip, leading more than a dozen guards to patrol back and forth in the chaotic camp, this person is Jie Ming Lusong's head of a thousand households, Ordomin, who is the most murderous, scolding in his mouth, and the leather whip in his hand is not idle, seeing the soldier who moves a little slowly, he unceremoniously whips and whips, and his hands are extremely heavy, without the slightest mercy, but it may be because he is too focused on supervising the work. But he didn't notice that the two soldiers who were carrying the big stone not far away were a little different - these two soldiers were small soldiers, no matter the clothes or the color of their clothes, they were the same as ordinary Tibetan soldiers, the only difference was that the eyes of these two people always glanced around from time to time, looking extremely agile and vigilant.

There are many stones and few trees in Luoying Mountain, the construction of the camp can not be made of wood, it can only be made of local materials, the stone is the wall, fortunately, there are a lot of big stones on the top of the mountain, but the Tubo army is not afraid that there is no stone available, hundreds of people are busy, the stone wall is also built a little neatly, the two strange soldiers are one of the members of the wall army, but they did not carry the big stone really to the wall, just after swaying a circle, they have quietly slipped out of the camp from the no-man's land behind the camp, and dived all the way to the mountainside of the back mountain in a serpentine way.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo......"

After sneaking up to the mountainside, the two minions did not go any further, but crouched vigilantly behind a large rock and made a few cuckoo calls towards the dense bushes not far away.

"Cricket, cricket......"

Soon after the birdsong, there was a response in the bushes, but when a cricket chirped, the two green-clothed men with bushes and branches flashed out like ghosts, beckoning to the two little soldiers, and said "safe and sound", and then saw the two little soldiers bent down and rushed into the bushes, and after a sound of rubbing of clothes, they had disappeared without a trace.

"Report!"

In a natural karst cave on the back side of Luoying Mountain, hundreds of exhausted officers and soldiers of the pioneer battalion were lying on the ground covered with quilts and other things, but in the headquarters in the depths of the cave, a group of officers led by Liu Ziming, Li Yaodong, Lu Sansheng and others did not have the good life of resting on the spot, and they all gathered in front of a temporary pile-up sand table, nervously deducing the offensive and defensive battle.

"Come in!"

Liu Ziming is the highest military commander here, so he responded without giving up, and even when he saw the curtain move, the two scouts who were wandering around the Tubo camp earlier had already appeared in front of everyone.

"How's it going?"

Liu Ziming casually raised his hand, which was regarded as a salute to the two scouts, and he was not polite, and asked about the situation of the enemy directly.

"Report to the deputy brigade commander, the enemy situation has been roughly figured out, there are about 1,200 enemies on the mountain, divided into three parts, of which the large camp on the top of the mountain has the largest number of people, about 800 in number, the first stone wall and the second stone wall are about 200 enemies, the front and rear stone walls are connected by several ditches, and there is a mountain road leading directly to the camp on the top of the mountain, and there is only a team of 50 people on the back of the patrol responsible for guarding, divided into two shifts, every quarter of an hour to interact, according to the words of the head of the enemy's thousand households, the enemy's army has arrived, the time is uncertain, maybe around noon."

Liu Ziming asked, the two scouts did not dare to slack off, and after exchanging glances with each other, one of the older ones stood up, "snapped" upright, and reported the news found out one by one.

"Very well, let's go down and rest first."

Liu Ziming listened while adjusting the sand table, and when the scout finished reporting, he had already adjusted the sand table in place, but he didn't ask any more questions, just waved his hand and gave a faint order.

"Yes!"

Seeing this, the two scouts did not dare to linger any longer, so they each stood up and saluted, turned and withdrew.

"Ladies and gentlemen, time is running out, and the original night attack plan is afraid that it will not be too late to implement, and it seems that you can only attack and break the enemy, do you have any different opinions?"

Although Liu Ziming has just taken office, he has been sent to the First Brigade on the orders of Li Xian for many years, and he has a great preference for muskets, and he has been in the First Brigade for many times, and he is very familiar with the rules and military terminology of the First Brigade.

"Seconded!"

"Fight!"

"Feasible!"

……

At this point, there was no other way to go except for the attack, and the generals present would not have any thoughts about this, and they all spoke up.

"Well, the commanders of each company will immediately assemble their teams and prepare for a strong attack!"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Liu Ziming stopped talking nonsense, waved his hand, and gave the order with great pride......
