Shen Leng took the remaining twenty or so disciples of the Liuyun Society Youth Hall to continue to chase in the northwest direction, but Xiao Zhang Zhenren didn't know when to leave, Heiyan and the injured deputy hall master Zhou Dongwu stayed to wait for her, no one knew what Xiao Zhang Zhenren had done, the girl who seemed to make people feel that leaving someone to take care of her would be in danger, seemed to have made a big decision.

It has been chasing from Chang'an to this place for a long time, and it has gone through the entire New Year, if this February day in the world can't stop Cao Anqing and those people from the gate of the Western Frontier, maybe Daning will face a huge challenge that has never been seen before.

In this world, Daning and Heiwu are like two giants opposite, surrounded by these two giants, many small countries see the wind and make the rudder, maybe it is a bit derogatory to say that the wind makes the rudder, but what about those small countries?

The two giants fought one against one, and Daning won, so in this world, there should be no one who dares to fight with Daning.

Now, Daning has cut the giant Heiwu a little shorter with a knife, and many small countries standing on Daning's side are naturally rejoicing, but the small countries on the Heiwu side will suffer as much as Heiwu, Heiwu is in pain but not afraid, they are afraid when they are in pain, God knows if Daning will take advantage of Heiwu's sluggishness to clean them up first.

Hei Wu is a giant, Daning slashed Hei Wu short with one sword, short below the knee, but for those small countries, because they are already short, this knife is above the knee, maybe higher.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the countries of the Western Regions to become worried and panicked, and they are also the same as the participating countries, during the Northern Expedition of Daning, the Houque State once sent troops to contain the troops of the northwest frontier of Daning, and responded to the counterattack of the Black Warrior State.

But who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor Daning would fight so decisively, using His Majesty the Emperor's relatives as bait, and originally thought that the battle of the Northern Expedition would last for a few years and the victory would be determined within a year.

Houque will be afraid, the Plantagenet will be afraid, and Tubo will be even more afraid, even if Tubo is not afraid of the war, but Lou Ran is not afraid.

Lou Ran is a magical place, a place where the aristocracy is so extravagant that people can't believe it, and it is also a place where the common people are so poor that they can't believe it, the people in this place live not as well as dogs, they occupy more than ninety percent of Lou Ran's population, but they are squeezed by those nobles to even the living space is extremely narrow, the value of ordinary people is not as good as a donkey, and the law of Lou Ran is even clearly written, the value of a man in the prime of life or a beautiful girl is equivalent to a donkey, which is the most valuable commoner.

However, poverty and fear made them dare not resist, which also gave King Lou Ran a kind of self-confidence, that is, human life is not valuable, he can determine the life and death of millions of people with one word, and King Lou Ran, who is eager to show himself, shouted that shocking and ridiculous statement at the alliance of the Western Regions.

"I can send a million soldiers."

The black warrior is a wolf, and the rest of the people are also wolves, after King Lou Ran shouted out this sentence, whether it is a rest person or a black warrior, it is as if he saw a group of soldiers who have come for nothing and are desperately sending them to death, and they are still millions of soldiers, and the wolf drives a million sheep, of course they are happy to see it.

Western Xinjiang.

General's Palace.

Tan Kyushu sat at the window and looked outside, his eyes were a little confused, he had been fighting horses for most of his life, and he was finally going to let go, he was very relieved and relieved, because His Majesty had not forgotten him, nor had he forgotten his son, this time Daning rewarded the top ten generals of the border army, his son Tan Linghu was actually not enough, and the coalition forces of Houque and other countries naturally could not be compared with the fight against the black army, and the credit of Tang Baobao in that battle was far greater than that of his son, but His Majesty was telling him, talking about Kyushu, your glory, your son is worthy of inheritance.

"General."

One of his generals, and one of his favorite subordinates, Yang Qilin, the general of Zhengsipin, strode in from outside.

"Something seems to be wrong in the west."

"Huh?"

Tan Kyushu retracted his gaze and looked at Yang Qilin: "What's the matter?" ”

"I got the news before, saying that there are fewer and fewer people in the border pass Fanshi, at first it was just that the merchants of the Tubo country gradually left the Fanshi, and then many merchants from small countries in the Western Regions also kept leaving, and the subordinates went to see it in person, although there are still people in the Fanshi, but the shops are already empty five or six tenths, and there are still people leaving, and the subordinates let people intercept some merchants from the Western Regions who are moving away, under interrogation, these people don't know why they want to go, but they feel unsteady, and they follow when they see someone leaving, and the market is getting more and more deserted."

Talking about leading troops in Kyushu for many years, there are not many people in the whole Daning who have fought more battles than he has ever fought, he has shocked Fanbang in the Western Regions, and he has been dealing with those people in the Western Regions for so many years, and no one knows those people in the Western Regions better than him.

"The first to go are the Tibetans?"

Tan Kyushu stood up, walked to the map and looked at it, in fact, the map of the hundred countries of the Western Regions had already been imprinted in his mind, and it was just a habit.

"Pass my military orders."

Tan Kyushu turned his head to look at Yang Qilin: "From now on, all border passes in Western Xinjiang will close their city gates, and no merchants from the Western Regions will be allowed to enter or leave, and all caravans that want to come in will not be allowed to enter, and all caravans that will go out will not be allowed to go out, so that the exploration range of border scouts will be fifty miles wider." ”

"Yes!"

Yang Qilin immediately clenched his fists and turned around to go out.

"Wait a minute."

Tan Kyushu frowned slightly: "Send people to the Western Xinjiang Arsenal, just say that I want to bring all the recruits over, don't say that there may be a war, just say that I want to train the troops in person, and then send people to the Tang family in the northwest, they will guard the front line of the Houque Kingdom, let them pay more attention." ”

Yang Qilin's face suddenly became solemn, and he transferred all the recruits from the Western Xinjiang Arsenal? Even if the Tubo army came to attack before, and several small countries in the Western Regions colluded with the Tubo alliance, the general did not touch all the recruits in the Western Xinjiang arsenal, but there were only some less Fanbang caravans, how could the general become so concerned?

"General."

Yang Qilin couldn't help but ask: "Will there be a big war?" ”

Tan Kyushu stretched out his hand and took off the big coat on the hanger: "I'll go to the border city, you go and arrange what I explained just now, the big war...... Maybe there will be, maybe not, but you have to be prepared, the black warriors have just been defeated, the people of the Western Regions have just been defeated, the loser is more likely to form an alliance, and the victor is not so easy to be sincerely with others. ”

Yang Qilin savored this sentence carefully, and felt that it was enough for him to think for a long time.

"General, do you want to send someone to Chang'an immediately?"

"Let's send it, let's just say that there may be changes in the Western Regions."

Tan Kyushu said as he strode out: "Let my pro-military camp gather." ”

"General."

Yang Qilin chased two steps, endured several times and couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty's will has arrived, the general originally wanted to wait for General Tang to come back before leaving, the general is already going to return to Chang'an, if there is really a war, it is better to send an urgent army report to Chang'an, and ask General Tang to come back." ”

Although His Majesty has not yet made a clear will for Tang Baobao to inherit the position of the general of Western Xinjiang, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tang Baobao was originally in the water division, and suddenly he was transferred to Western Xinjiang, which is a signal.

The general is talking about Kyushu is about to retreat, now

If you immediately invite Tang Baobao to come back from Chang'an, it should be too late, as long as Tang Baobao comes back, the general can return to Chang'an safely, accept the honor given to him by His Majesty, and also accept the cheers of the people of Chang'an.

"I'm still a general."

Talking about Kyushu took a big step, and after going out, he looked into the distance: "Yang Qilin, you should remember what I said." ”

Yang Qilin stood solemnly: "My subordinates remember that the general said that the military armor is on the body one day, and he will not retreat in battle." ”

"Anyone who has been a soldier knows that in fact, what I said is not right, the soldiers of Daning never have military armor to go to war, how many veterans will return from home immediately in case of war? They can already be comfortable at home but not greedy for comfort, there is a war in the country, and they will return in every battle, the general armor on my body is still there, do I want to retreat in every battle? ”

Tan Kyushu stopped and looked at Yang Qilin's inconvenient left arm: "Aren't you the same yourself?" ”

That year, the Western Xinjiang War, Yang Qilin, who was only the regiment, led the troops to attack forward, and was hit by the enemy's left arm with an arrow, an arrow hit the thigh, and the arrow shot at his thigh was only a fraction of a millimeter to cut his artery, which was his life, and an arrow shot on his left arm left a lifelong inconvenience, his left arm was significantly thinner than his right arm, and it was also shorter.

After that war, Yang Qilin returned to his hometown, was promoted to lieutenant, returned to his hometown, the town that was only more than 20 miles away from the border city, married a wife and had children, sunrise and sunset, lived a very ordinary and ordinary life, three years later, the Western Xinjiang War broke out again, Yang Qilin did not speak all day after he learned about it, and in the evening he asked his wife to fry a few dishes, he went out to buy a pot of wine and came back, poured a full wine for his wife, and filled a cup of himself.

His wife looked at him and shook her head.

Yang Qilin knew what his wife meant, his wife didn't want him to go back, his left arm was already injured, how could he fight with the foreign invaders if he went back again? Unlike most people, he is left-handed.

"I have to go back."

Yang Qilin looked at his wife and said with a guilty face: "I know you're worried about me, and I'm afraid that I can't come back, but I have to go, in the past three years, I have practiced hard with my right hand, one is not to dare to put all the hard work on your shoulders, I am a man, a big husband should shoulder the heavy burden, when the family is established, when there is a man's responsibility, two ...... I'm just waiting all the time, and if Daning still needs me to go to the battlefield, I'm not a wasted person. ”

The wife wept silently.

Yang Qilin was also silent.

After a long time, his wife got up and pulled Yang Qilin into the inner room, where his captain's armor was already there, and the armor was wiped clean, without a trace of dust.

"I know I can't stop you no matter what, you have to go back no matter what, I just ask you to come back safely."

She helped Yang Qilin put on the captain's military armor, and her hands were trembling.

At this moment, hearing the general mention the past, Yang Qilin's shoulders trembled slightly: "General, you are different from me. ”

The general can retire and retire after success.

"We're different."

Tan Kyushu stretched out his hand and patted Yang Qilin on the shoulder: "Because I have one more useful arm than you, you are still here, how can I not be there?" ”

He strode towards the door: "Even if Your Majesty asks me to go, I won't leave at this time." ”
