Since Zhao Xin surrendered to the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu acted more and more wisely, this time Wei Qing marched into Monan, and the Xiongnu army in Hexi showed signs of abnormal movement, wanting to flank Wei Qing's army. This is also the reason why Liu Che asked Qin Cheng to attack Hexi.

Since the Huns want to fight, then accompany him to fight well! These are Liu Che's exact words.

When Qin Cheng led 30,000 cavalry out of Chang'an, he did not go with an army of tens of thousands of foot soldiers with heavy logistics, but rushed all the way to the southernmost part of the Heshuo region, where Shuofang County provided a short supply for the army. And tens of thousands of logistics pawns are following suit.

The reason for this march was because of Qin Cheng's plan to conquer Hexi this time.

In Qin Cheng's plan, the 30,000-strong army attacking Hexi must not be rushed up.

When they arrived in Shuofang County, Zhang Qian and Yi Xue'er, who were the county guards and assassins of Shuofang County at the time, had already received a large number of supplies and were waiting.

Waiting for the Qincheng army with Zhang Qian and Yi Xue'er, as well as Nangong Shang.

Naturally, what Nangong Shang brought could not be materials, but only intelligence. This information includes the location, strength, and relationship of the Xiongnu kings in Hexi, as well as a rough map of the land in Hexi.

Compared with Zhang Qian and Yi Xue'er's materials, Nangong Shang's intelligence is what Qin Cheng really wants.

"In the land west of the river, there are more than a dozen Hun kings, among which the Hun Evil King, the Hutu King, the Luhou King, and the Zhelan King have the largest tribal power and the strongest combat power. Among them, the King of Luhou and the King of Zhelan are in Gaolan Mountain, and the position of King Hun Evil and King Xiutu is further west. Nangong Shang put aside the military map drawn by the intelligence team and explained the key to it to Qin Cheng.

After the two had a brief exchange, Qin Cheng asked the second king of the pro-soldier team to put away the map.

"The guide is ready, and when the time comes, you can ensure that the army will not get lost when it goes deep into Hexi!" Nangong Shang sighed as he spoke, "I'll let Zhang Da go with you, and when you choose the route, you must listen to Zhang Da's words, don't take it for granted!" ”

Qin Cheng understood what Nangong Shang meant, and it was because Zhang Qian did not march according to the route discovered by Nangong Shang that he got lost last year. Speaking of which, this is also a mark of shame for Nangong Shang, after all, his intelligence team is still lost in the army, and his responsibility naturally cannot be shirked.

"Don't worry, I'll make a name for you this time!" Qin Cheng patted Nangong Shang's shoulder and said steadily.

Nangong Shang smiled, "I don't care if I am famous or not, the army can win, the work I am waiting for will not be done in vain, and the blood and sweat will not be in vain!" ”

When the two finished talking, Yi Xue'er came over and said to Qin Cheng with a smile: "Are all the big things done?" The meals are ready, let's eat first! ”

It should be a very hard thing to serve as a thorn in Shuofang County, but Yi Xue'er, who has not been seen for a long time, is full of energy, and even her body seems to be plump, and I don't know if the texture of goat milk in Heshuo is too good, especially nourishing. In short, compared to Chang'an, Yi Xue'er's image is simply a heaven and an underground, and her aura has also recovered, and it seems to be even more powerful.

"It's okay, after eating this full meal today, I'm going to gnaw dry food next!" Qin Cheng stared at Yi Xue'er for a long time, until he lowered his head embarrassedly when he looked at her, and then said with a smile.

When everyone was eating, Qin Cheng said to Zhang Qian and Yi Xue'er: "This time I march to Hexi, I plan to reserve the heavy cavalry in Heshuo, and only take the light cavalry." Therefore, you have to worry about the food consumption of heavy riding. ”

"Why don't you bring a heavy rider?" Icher was surprised, "Hasn't the heavy cavalry always been the blade of the hussar battalion?" ”

Qin Cheng smiled and said, "Although the heavy cavalry is a sharp blade, it is not conducive to long-distance running, and it is only suitable for head-on combat. There is only so much to say, and if you say it again, you will reveal military secrets. ”

"Okay, don't worry." Icher said.

After eating, when Yi Xue'er said goodbye to her, Qin Cheng suddenly looked back at her, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a low voice: "Last time, you said that if I came to Heshuo, I would definitely accompany me to use the earth as a bed and the sky as a quilt, haven't you forgotten this?" ”

Yi Xue'er immediately blushed when she heard this, and glanced at Qin Cheng coquettishly, but she was not blindly shy, "If you can win a big victory, come and talk to me about these things again." ”

"Really?" Qin Cheng was immediately overjoyed.

"What do you say?" Yi Xue'er glanced at Qin Cheng with winkling eyes.

"Haha, good!" Qin Cheng couldn't stop laughing, laughed and rode on his horse, dashing and full of fighting spirit to the already assembled military formation.

Before the battle, Qin Cheng said to the heavy cavalry commander Shanjia: "Act according to the previous arrangement of this general, and remember not to act rashly." Otherwise, military law is strict! ”

"No!" The mountain armor clenched his fists and promised, and there was no dissatisfaction on his face, but he was very dignified.

"Le Yi!" Qin Cheng shouted again, "Has the army been assembled?" ”

"Report to the general, the army is assembled, and you can set off at any time!" Le Yi reports.

"Okay, let's go!" With a wave of Qin Cheng's big hand, the 24,000 hussar battalion rode lightly, and then slowly started, facing Hexi, and began this journey.

Behind the light cavalry, six thousand heavy cavalry saluted in unison, watching their comrades who were the first to step onto the battlefield.

................................................

Chang'an, Jidian Mansion.

Liu Mu changed into a strong costume and was dancing his sword in the backyard.

Willow is good at using the sword but not with the sword, which is something that the whole hussar battalion knows.

The sword shadow is gorgeous, and the style is outstanding.

After a while, Liu Mu threw the long sword in the air, and then he stopped breathing.

The long sword was stuck on a stake at the edge of the courtyard, two feet deep.

Liu Mu, who had gathered his strength, sat back at the edge of the courtyard, sitting in the standard military position, bowing his head and being silent, letting sweat drip from his forehead and jaw.

After a long time, Liu Mu sighed, looked lonely, slowly stood up, walked to the stake, held the hilt of the long sword, but suddenly stopped moving, standing there quietly, there was no focus in his pupils.

After another half of this sound, it was not until a cold wind blew that Liu Mu's pupils tightened, and his eyes were no longer sloppy.

"Drink!" With a low shout, Liu Mu kicked on the stake and pulled out his long sword.

"Crackle!" There was a loud bang, and as the sword was drawn, the stake shattered.

"Mu'er!" Ji Di, who appeared at the gate of the courtyard at some point, called out to Liu Mu and walked over slowly, "What's the matter, you're in a bad mood?" ”

"Grandfather!" Yanagi smiled reluctantly, "No." ”

Ji Di walked over, Liu Mu took the sword to help him, Ji Yang laughed twice, and said kindly: "Grandfather has lived for most of his life, what else can't you understand?" Don't try to hide your careful thoughts from me. Say, isn't the hussars on the march, and you have some bad feelings in your heart? ”

Liu Mu helped Ji Huang to sit down in the room, and after he sat down, he stretched out his hand to comb the hair of his sideburns with a gloomy expression, and said sincerely: "Some are habits...... After all, since the formation of the Hussar Army, Sun Er has fought with all the soldiers, and it has never been like this. ”

"And you want to go back to the barracks?" Ji Di asked with a slight stretch of his neck.

"Grandfather......" Liu Mu glanced listlessly, "Grandson never thought of it like this. ”

"Huh!" Ji Di then smiled again, "Did you ever think about it or did you know that you couldn't?" ”

After that, without waiting for Liu Mu to answer, Ji Di said again: "After all, you are still too idle, you are always bored at home alone, and it is really boring." In my opinion, you should have found a good family earlier, so that you don't have to do nothing all day and think about the old days! ”

"Grandfather ......"

Liu Mu was about to refute, but Ji Di waved his hand to interrupt her, looked at her very seriously, and said, "Don't forget, you are a daughter!" ”

As soon as Ji Di said this, Liu Mu didn't know what to say.

"When you're bored, go out for a walk, don't be bored at home all day." Ji Di stood up, "It's been boring for too long, and I'll be like an old man like me, who is old and yellow!" ”

"Grandfather!" Liu Mu smiled dumbly, and then got up to send Ji Di out.

Sending Ji Di back to the room, Liu Mu was silent for a while. After a long time, Liu Mu got up and sat down behind the bookcase, and was stunned for a long time but did not know what to write.

"Qin Cheng said that there is something called memoirs in this world. Why don't I write a memoir for myself now? Liu Mu muttered to himself, and felt a little inappropriate as he spoke, "But Qin Cheng's guy said again that memoirs are the work of old people who have nothing to do, and I'm still young!" ”

While he was struggling, a servant came to report: "Young master, there is an invitation." ”

"Oh?" Liu Mu wondered who would send the invitation to him, so he took it and took a look, but saw that it was an invitation from General Qin's mansion.

The invitation turned out to be sent by Bai Xinxin, saying that he had nothing to do at home, and wanted to invite Liu Mu to talk - Bai Xinxin is now unable to move, so he can only run errands with Liu Mu - the two also walked around each other from time to time before.

"The servants of General Qin's Mansion are still waiting outside the door for the young master's reply." The servant saw that Liu Mu had finished reading the contents of the invitation, and said again.

"Tell someone to come, I'll pack up and go."

An hour later, Liu Mu arrived at the Qin General's Mansion.

"Sister Liu, you're here, but let me wait!" Bai Xinxin, who had a big belly, saw Liu Mu coming, so she got up and pulled her, "Now that you and I are idle, you should move around more, how boring it is to be at home alone!" ”

"My sister has limited mobility, and as a sister, she should come over to take care of her from time to time - this is really my fault." Liu Mu said apologetically, looking at Bai Xinxin's stomach as he spoke, "It's almost born, right?" ”

"Well, the doctor said it won't take more than a month." When Bai Xinxin said this, her face was filled with a happy smile.

Liu Mu sighed, and complained a little: "At this time, the general should stay at home and take care of his sister, and what kind of battle did he go out to fight - he knew about the war all day long, and he didn't even care about his family?" ”

Bai Xinxin smiled when she heard this, "My sister was also a soldier, how could she have such remarks?" ”

......" "Willow Wood," "I'm just talking about it...... Hehe. ”

Bai Xinxin covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm afraid my sister is depressed because she can't go out with the general, right?" ”

"......" Liu Mu looked at Bai Xinxin, who was so straightforward and understanding, and really didn't know what to say.

In fact, Liu Mu also knew that Bai Xinxin came to talk to him at this time, thinking that he would be in a bad mood because he was thinking of the hussars going out. Thinking like this, Liu Mu couldn't help but sigh: "My sister is really a caring person! ”
