In the third year of Zhenguan, at the end of August, the Eastern Turkic generals Yarkin and Ashnadur led an army to disturb Hexi. Suzhou guard Zhang Shigui and Ganzhou guard Zhang Bao commanded each other's troops and formed a corner. The use of the city to block the Turkic cavalry eventually led to the return of the Turks in vain.

Taizong was furious when he learned the news, and the general Zhang Gongjin wrote a book, listing the six major Turkic crimes! Taizong immediately ordered Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, to be the head of the march on Dingxiang Road! Zhang Gongjin was the deputy and led the Chinese army.

And the governor of the state, the British Duke Xu Shixian, is the head of the march of the Desert Road! The main force led by the Eastern Route directly attacked the East Turkic hinterland. Huazhou Thorn Shi Huo Guogong Yuan Shao is the head of the Jinhe Road march! On the West Road and Li Jing, Xu Shiyun echoed each other. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu appointed Li Daozong, the king of Chengjun, as the head of the Datong Dao march! Zhang Baoxiang was his deputy and advanced northwest from Lingzhou. Ren Youzhou Governor Wei Xiaojie as the head of the Heng'an Road march! The Turkic army guarding the house in the Yanyun area fled eastward! Xue Wanshu, the governor of Lingzhou, is the head of the Changwu Road march! Take advantage of the northeast to attack the rear of the Turks and monitor the Turkic Khan!

The army of more than 100,000 people was subjected to Li Jingjie's degree, and they were divided into six ways to counterattack the Turks!

Under the influence of Su Bai's little butterfly, the Turkic attack was more than three months ahead of schedule!

......

Ju County, City Gate!

Today's Juxian County is very depressing, the usual laughter on the street, the sound of selling around, now have disappeared, and even the breakfast shop, few are open. Before dawn, someone lit the lamp early, took out the only little white flour at home, and began to burn the flatbread, usually reluctant to oil and salt, this time also put a lot, not only did not think she was wasteful, but also let her put it more, otherwise it would look stingy.

After the cake is baked, wrap it in oiled paper, carefully put it in the basket, put a few boiled stupid eggs, and let yourself take it out. These are not for their own food, but they are intended to be given to Su Bai as military rations!

They had heard before that this time to fight the Turks, their own lord might also go to the battlefield, they didn't believe it at first, their own lord was only ten years old, a small grade, and he was barely on the horse, how could he go to the battlefield?

Besides, my own lord is Wenqu Xing, when have you ever seen Wenqu Xing fight with others? However, just two days ago, Chang'an flew ten horsemen, holding the imperial flag high in their hands, and in the afternoon of the same day, they learned a bad news, their own lord, on the first day of the ninth month, was about to go on the expedition.

On that day, they felt as if their heads had been struck by lightning, and they couldn't imagine if the lord died on the battlefield! What kind of life will they live after a new lord changes to Juxian? I have just lived a good life for two years, is God going to take it away?

In the past two days, Juxian County has been so strangely quiet, only the children are still laughing, and they don't understand why the adults are so depressed. What's wrong with going to war? You can only kill the enemy when you go to the battlefield! In order to make contributions! Besides, what a majestic thing it is to be a general!

Su Bai also got up very early today, he opened his eyes before dawn, or he didn't sleep much this night, he was imagining what the battlefield would be like, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of it.

Zhao Yue'er didn't sleep all night, her two eyes were swollen like walnuts, she cried all night, Su Bai couldn't persuade her, under the service of Zhao Yue'er and the maid, Su Bai put on a suit of armor! The style of his armor is special, mainly different from the shoulder armor, the shoulder armor of ordinary soldiers is just ordinary armor leaves, and his shoulder armor is two hideous one-horned ghost heads! The position of the heart guard on the chest is also a demon with a blue face and fangs!

This armor was exchanged by Su Bai in the Prestige Mall, and it cost a full eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight points! It's very light on the body, and the defense is amazing, and there is not even a white mark when you slash it with a horizontal knife.

Wearing all the armor and putting on the helmet, Su Bai walked straight out, all the guards and servants in the palace came to stand in the courtyard, Wang Xing and his grandparents were at the forefront, and Erniu, the kid, also came back a few days ago, and was crying behind them. Grandparents' eyes were red, Wang Xing was still better, reaching out to support the second elder, Wang Liu was holding Wang Mingzhu, and he was already a little afraid to look at Su Bai, for fear that he would cry when he saw it, which would distract him.

Su Bai walked to a distance of five or six meters away from them, fell to his knees with a pop, and knocked his head three times with a bang! The head was dead on the ground, and his voice trembled a little: "The child is not filial, this is going to join the army!" It's been three years, or five years! If you can't do filial piety before bed, please forgive the child! ”

Su Bai raised his head, but his legs were still kneeling on the ground, looked at Wang Xing and his wife, and said, "The child is a Tang general!" The country is in trouble! I can't say no! This is going to war, and it will be a peaceful and prosperous era when I return! If you don't return......"

"Nope! Eldest brother! Don't say such frustrating things! You'll be back! ”

Erniu cried heartbreakingly, and under the influence of his emotions, Wang Xing and his grandparents finally burst into tears. Su Bai got up and walked to his family, hugged them tightly, stretched out his hand and rubbed Erniu's head and said, "Brother is gone, you are the man in the family!" Do you want to grow up quickly and help your father share the burden? ”

Erniu just cried, choked and speechless.

Su Bai was looking at Wang Mingzhu, this little silly girl was smiling heartlessly, looking at the eldest brother who was the best for her, stretching out her little fat hand and wanting the eldest brother to hug her. Su Bai was wearing a cold iron armor, and could only gently touch her swaddling clothes.

Wang Xing pretended to be strong and said: "My son is going here, and he will definitely win!" Wang Liu covered her mouth, crying and couldn't speak, Zhao Yue'er was supporting her on the side, and the makeup of her little face was spent.

Su Bai was looking at his grandparents, and his grandfather said loudly: "My life! He had three sons! The eldest son is sixteen in the army! Fight for your country! The second son is fifteen in the army! Fight for your country! The county order took pity on my family and let me keep a son to pass on! Now, my eldest grandson is going to fight for his country again! I don't regret it! Ugly cow! ”

"The grandchildren are here"

"If you go to the front line, you must fight to kill the enemy! Protect my Datang border! If you dare to be a deserter, you will lose your integrity! Even if Your Majesty doesn't kill you when you come back! The old man also beheaded you! You get the idea! ”

"Grandchildren understand"

"So what are you waiting for! Go ahead! ”

After the old man finished talking about this call, he no longer had the strength to stand, and a few people around him hurriedly supported him, I don't know if it was an illusion, Su Bai suddenly felt that his grandfather was a lot older in an instant.

Su Bai was also very uncomfortable at this time, and he had a feeling of suffocation, and roared angrily: "Where is the war horse!" Wang Lang beside him had already prepared and brought Su Bai's four-hoofed snow beast over, although Qin Qiong gave him a lot of good horses, but it still rode smoothly by itself.

Su Bai turned over on the war horse, and the black armor seemed to merge with the darkness before the dawn, and Su Bai roared again: "Where is the blade!" The four guards worked together to lift Su Bai's phoenix wings and gold picket up, and Su Bai grabbed it with one hand and held it in his right hand. With a light knock of his left hand on the helmet, a pitch-black visor covered Su Bai's face.

Su Bai roared angrily to the sky: "Go out!" ”

After saying that, he shook the reins of the horse, and the horse man stood up and neighed, and the moment the four hooves landed, like a sharp arrow off the string, galloped away, and the war horse went straight to the foot of the mountain as soon as he went out of the gate.

As soon as the line of sight is broadened, you can see that the foot of the mountain is densely packed with cavalry, divided into left and right, leaving a three-meter-wide road in the middle! Su Bai didn't slow down, and galloped straight through the middle of the road, and the people on the left and right were Han Laohu and Wang Qingyang! The two shook the reins of the horse and shouted: "Ride", and the horse's hooves roared to follow Su Bai, who was the leader, like a torrent of steel.

This torrent of steel stopped slowly until it reached the gate of Juxian County, and the cavalry behind him didn't understand why it slowed down at first, and when they saw it clearly, they couldn't control their tear ducts.

The city gate was already full, densely packed with people, and the sky was not too bright, and many of them had lanterns or oil lamps in their hands, and baskets of large and small sizes in their hands, and their eyes were red as they looked at them. Even many women and children still have tears on their faces.

Led by the group of lonely old men, Su Bai urged the horse to come closer, put away his mask, turned over and dismounted, and said: "Uncle, what are you doing, the weather is a little cold, go home quickly"

The old man's eyes were full of tears, and his voice trembled: "The lord is going to fight for the country!" Old and useless, you can't serve by the side of the lord, block the sword and prevent arrows for the lord! There is only this little bit of heart, and I hope the lord will accept it."

As he spoke, he handed over the little blue in his hand, and Su Bai saw that it was all golden flatbread. Su Bai hurriedly said: "My husband is polite, it is my duty to go to the war, I accepted my father-in-law's wishes, but this year is not good, please take these back."

When the old man heard this, he knelt directly on the ground, raised the small basket above his head with both hands and said, "Please accept it!" It didn't take more than ten seconds for the people behind him to kneel down in a dense area, and they all shouted: "Please take it!" ”

Su Bai felt a hot current rise in his heart, rushed to his nose, and punched himself hard, making his nose a little sour and a little like crying. Look at the people who fell to their knees. Su Bai knew that what he had done in the past two years had not been done in vain, and there were still people who thought of him as good.

Grit your teeth and take it! Take it all! When they come back, they will be returned to them tenfold!

At that moment, he turned over his horse and said loudly: "Everyone, my king has accepted your wishes!" On the day of my triumph, I will hold a three-day flowing water banquet at the foot of the mountain! Thank you for your kindness! All the soldiers obey the order"

"Yes!"

"Open your bags and pack your rations!"

"Yes!"

Behind him, he turned over and dismounted in a uniform manner, took down the bag on the horse's back, and took the big cake handed over by the people around him, and everyone couldn't tell what it was like in their hearts. Some of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and some are rookies who serve as soldiers for their fathers, but no matter what kind of people they are, they all feel a little sour in their hearts when facing this situation.

Su Bai put the old man's bread in his deerskin bag, helped the old man up, and said, "After eating the old man's bread, I also have the strength to kill the enemy!" ”

The old man said with a smile while crying: "It's a long way to go, and all the white noodles in the family are only baked with these ten cakes, which is not enough for the lord to eat at the border." Su Bai shook his head and said, "Save it, and it's here."

The old man cried bitterly: "Sir, you are a good person, God will definitely protect you, you are a Wenqu star!" Xingjun protects his body, and the sword does not hurt! Sir! You must come back."

Su Bai made the old man's heart sour, and forced a smile: "Of course! Of course I will be back! ”

Turning his head to see that the soldiers were almost pretended, Su Bai turned over his horse, grabbed the big boring that was inserted in the ground, and said loudly: "Please spread out, folks, I will also go to Chang'an to report!" After the three-way drum, the one who doesn't get it will be killed! The folks don't want to see my head cut off before I get to the battlefield! ”

Hearing Su Bai say this, the people scattered one after another, for fear of delaying the lord's trip, and several old women of the older grades cried: "What nonsense does the lord say, what kind of beheading, good luck, good luck!" ”

Su Bai smiled, and knew that these people were worried about themselves, and all the soldiers behind him turned over on their war horses, Su Bai glanced at the people of Juxian County, and the first ray of sunshine finally leaked out of the sky, and the sky was bright.

Su Bai chuckled, put down his armor and roared, "Go on the expedition!" ”

This time, nothing stands in the way! Su Bai took the lead, followed by 2,000 cavalry, and the sound of horses' hooves in a row was like rain hitting plantains.

When the day was bright, Su Bai had already come to the big tent of the military camp near Chang'an, and the two thousand cavalry he brought were resting in the camp. There are more than ten people in the big tent, and the leader is Li Jing! Sitting on his left hand is Zhang Gongjin, and on his right hand is Li Keshi. Su Bai, as the youngest in terms of grade and official title, should sit at the bottom.

Zhang Gongjin is about the same size as Cheng Yanjin, and he also has a beard, it is really hard to believe that such a military general will die of illness in office three years later. Su Bai was secretly looking at Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Gongjin was also looking at Su Bai, after the two looked at each other, Zhang Gongjin smiled: "I always heard that guy Yu Chi talk about you, but today is the first time to meet, you are really a hero and a teenager."

Su Bai saw that everyone took the initiative to talk to him, and he couldn't take the shelf, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle loves me too much, and the kid also grew up listening to your legend." Zhang Gongjin laughed twice, and Li Jing smiled: "He is not wrong, this son is only ten years old this year, but he has already achieved such an achievement, what were you and I doing when we were ten years old?" I'm afraid I'm still peeing and mud! Hahahaha"

Everyone in the big tent laughed, including Li Keshi, but Su Bai looked at the old face, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was sneering!

When a few people talked and laughed, Li Jing's expression became serious and said, "Generals! Come out with me and get some troops! ”

The smiles on the faces of several people were also put away, and they followed Li Jing to stride out of the account.

War, coming!
