Dongting Lake, the island in the middle of the lake, the moonlight is like frost.

The naval army has quieted down, the guards in the camp have all rested, and the guards from afar have all fallen asleep, only the footsteps of the patrolling guards, and the horses in the camp are chewing grass by the manger when they are whimpering.

In the tent of the Chinese army, on the tent of the main general's tall mountain, the figure stretched by the light looks quite gloomy.

"I have decided to quit the army, and I will no longer trouble the court and the prince."

Gao Dashan said in a deep voice, his tone full of relief and happiness from the heart.

Gao Dabao pinched the wine glass and watched the sleeve tube on his eldest brother's side fluttering in the wind, with nothing to rely on, as if he had nothing to rely on in his future life.

The warm yellow light outlined the figures of the two people on the tent, and there was silence outside the tent, and the sound of frogs chirping in Dongting Lake was silent, slowly coming with the night breeze.

Gao Dabao raised his wine glass and drank it all.

"Brother, if you want to go home, I won't stop you, but you have been in the army for most of your life, if you go home, this half of your life's efforts will be in vain."

Gao Dashan shook his head, pinched the empty wine glass, and there was a lot of depression in his tone:

"Yes, half a life of horses, and finally go home to farm, I'm afraid this effort will be in vain."

Pinching the empty wine glass, Gao Dashan suddenly looked at his younger brother opposite, and a smile appeared on his face:

"When our father was still there, he sighed and said, we are both in the army, I am afraid that there will be no one to support him in this life, and I am afraid that the white-haired people will send the black-haired people."

"When Daddy left, I was in front of the bed, he took my hand and said with a smile, Lao Tzu finally died in front of you two rabbit cubs, it's good."

As he spoke, tears flowed from the corners of Gao Dashan's eyes, and his body trembled.

Gao Dabao patted his brother's shoulder, picked up the wine jug, filled it for his brother, and filled it for himself, put down the wine jug, and sandwiched a chopsticks of fish and meat.

"Dongting Lake is famous all over the world, and I have never tasted this saury in other places."

Gao Dashan glanced at the saury fish on the plate when he heard this, the white saury was the size of a palm, and a few green onion leaves were sprinkled on the fish, which was refreshing.

With a pair of chopsticks, the entrance is delicious, and the fragrance of green onions is mixed in it, which reminds Gao Dashan of the situation when he went down to the river with his younger brother when he was a child, caught fish, and went home to make stewed fish for his mother.

Because of the family's poverty, the only seasoning for the stewed fish is salt, and the only thing to remove the fishy smell is eggplant and finely chopped chives sprinkled on top of the fish.

After the fish is stewed, the aroma is just as delicious as the current taste of the saury.

"I miss my mother's fish stew."

Gao Dashan put down his chopsticks and suddenly covered his face and said.

Gao Dabao was stunned when he heard this, but in an instant, his eyes were filled with tears, and his whole person trembled, his head lay in the crook of his arm, and he sobbed.

"I miss my mother, big brother."

Gao Dabao's hoarse voice came from between his fingers, sad and complaining.

The two brothers wept at each other, and their whimpering tones slowly spread in the dark night.

After a long time, the two of them restrained their emotions.

Gao Dabao Zhengse said:

"Big brother, go back, I support you, but there is a need in the future, although I open my mouth to my younger brother, although my brother is not talented, but he also has some money, and he will fully support his brother to build the old house."

Gao Dashan looked at his younger brother and nodded heavily.

On the second day, Gao Dabao bid farewell to his eldest brother, led the Praetorian Guard Battalion, and continued northward.

His main task this time is to go north and rescue Beiyang City.

Beiyang is the place where the prince and His Majesty met, and it is also the place where the prince started, and the fief of Princess Beiyang.

The prince sent two guards this time to protect Beiyang.

According to Dingxiangwei's intelligence, General Xie Ningyun is approaching Beiyang, but because the guards have no horses, General Xie is afraid that he will not be able to defeat the mixed rebels of these steppe horse bandits and Xuanfu bandits.

He must rush as soon as possible to contain the horse bandits and create conditions for General Xie to defeat this rebellion.

The Praetorian Guard was basically one man and two horses, running day and night, and after six days, he finally arrived in Beiyang and came into contact with the Dingxiang Guard who had been ambushed here.

Xie Ningyun had already set up a village under Beiyang City, and the army confronted the bandits, but he had no intention of attacking.

Gao Dabao frowned when he heard Ding Xiaowei's report, General Xie, what does this mean?

"Let's go, I'll go see General Xie."

Gao Dabao urged the horses forward and instructed his guards to speak.

The lieutenant asked:

"It's getting late, Commander, do you want to let the brothers set up their tents and rest?"

Gao Dabao looked up at the sky, the moon was in the middle of the sky, but it was not suitable for marching again.

"Okay, bury the pot and cook, eat and rest quickly, don't set up a tent."

Gao Dabao instructed the guards next to him and said:

"Lead the way, I want to see how powerful these bandits besieging Beiyang are, and they dare to fight with General Xie."

When Gao Dabao saw Xie Ningyun, Xie Ningyun was eating, and when he saw Gao Dabao coming in, he nodded, motioned for Gao Dabao to sit down, and continued to eat.

The tall Bao pulled a stool and sat down, looking at his nose and nose, his nose and his heart, motionless, listening to Xie Ningyun sitting there eating.

Xie Ningyun didn't speak, ate slowly, and ordered the guards to take down the food, and then asked Gao Dabao:

"The High Commander is here in the starry night, but he is ready for a night battle?"

Gao Dabao sat up straight and said without hesitation:

"But according to General Xie's orders, the last general will never give up."

Xie Ningyun bent her eyebrows, and said in a tone full of admiration:

"Okay, it is worthy of being a brave general valued by both the prince and His Majesty."

Gao Dabao said modestly:

"The general praised, I am just a guard, I don't deserve such praise from the general."

Xie Ningyun raised the corners of her eyes, and commanded:

"It's been four days since I've been here, and every night, I'll pour out my troops to harass the bandit camp, and they've developed a habit of coming here for the past few days, and they're going to bother Commander Gao for the first attack today."

Gao Dabao stood up with a bang and said loudly:

"I would like to listen to General Xie's orders."

Xie Ningyun clapped his hands, the lieutenant lifted the curtain, came in from outside with a few generals, and greeted Gao Dabao, and the lieutenant handed the military booklet in his hand to Xie Ningyun.

Xie Ningyun swept it and threw it to Gao Dabao:

"This is the rebel bandits that our army has collected, and our army will take advantage of the night to make noise, and after a quarter of an hour, the bandits will think that our army is still habitually harassed, and when the time comes, General Gao will lead the Praetorian Guard Battalion and be sure to break through the north gate of the rebel camp."

Gao Dabao received the order loudly.

Just broke the camp gate, and it was still a tired army, Gao Dabao thought that there was no problem at all.

The night was dark.

Inside the bandit camp outside Beiyang City.

The big leader of the grass flying on the grass, Ah Guta, had already fallen asleep, but was woken up by his horse bandits.

"Boss, this time the voice seems to be a little wrong, the Han army seems to have a horse."

The horse thief who came to report was worried.

Ah Gu kicked the return horse thief, and scolded angrily:

"What's wrong with Arima, I've been making Lao Tzu unable to sleep for four consecutive nights, can you still attack me tonight, get out."

"Lao Tzu wants to sleep."

"Roll"

Ah Guda walked irritably to the bed, wanting to lie down and sleep.
