Text Chapter 121 The Wind Rises and the Thunder Strikes

In the dream, Chang'an, the yellow sand is in the north, how much is tender. Looking back at this time, who has been waiting for thousands of years, has promised to save you from sorrow, how many years ......!

There is a hill near the north gate of the right Beiping, on which the Han army built a watchtower and Diao Dou, and there is a small arrow tower, which can be viewed far away.

The Huns' rangers and scouts did not dare to approach this fortified city easily, because the guards on the high place were all good archers in the Han army, with hard arrows and big yellow bows, but they were sharp weapons for hunting flying horses outside the city.

It has always been a military forbidden place, and it is not allowed to be approached by idle people in normal times. However, there are some exceptions today, the little princess from Chang'an wants to climb high to see the scenery of the northern country, and the general has agreed.

Leaning on the railing to overlook, in front of the ancient city, a horse flat river, faintly visible several remnants of war. In the distance, the mountains are stacked, the eyes are extremely vast, and the wind is coming from the north, which still seems to carry the breath of iron and blood. Being in this scene, I can't help but add a little melancholy.

Yuan Zhao looked sideways at the girl's face, and saw that her eyebrows were sad, her face was pale, and her smile had not appeared since yesterday, so she must have been thinking about tomorrow in her heart, right?

"Yuan ...... Brother Yuan, what do you say will be on the other side of the mountain? ”

Su Xi's hand clutched the wooden fence in front of her, Sakura's lips trembled slightly, and by the side of the person she trusted the most, the confusion and fear of the future in her heart finally couldn't be suppressed.

"Crossing the Great Wall between the mountains and mountains, and going north out of Yanmen Pass, it is to plug the grassland, and the desert scenery is ......."

Yuan Zhao sighed secretly, although he was hard-hearted, he could also understand what it was like for her to be lonely and helpless at this time.

"And ...... Wind and sand, wolves and savage and brutal Huns, right? ”

In the whisper that couldn't hear whether she was scared or complaining, Princess Suxi lowered her head, a wisp of green silk covered her face, and when she raised it again, the tears in her bright eyes were already crystal clear.

"Uh, Suxi, don't think about it. Relax and you'll be fine in a few days! ”

Yuan Zhao has a headache, he is a human being in two lives, and what he is not good at is coaxing girls to be happy, especially girls who are made to cry, although this is not caused by him.

"Yes, it will be fine, the border can be stable for a few days, and the court can get rid of the maneuver again, my father and emperor...... Father can also worry about it for a while! Iβ€”What else am I not satisfied with? This body originally belonged to the Liu royal family, and belonged to the sacrifice of Sheji...... Boom. ”

After all, she is the age of cardamom, from bidding farewell to Chang'an to traveling thousands of miles, although she endured the unwillingness and resentment in her stomach, but the mountains and tsunamis in her heart have been thousands of times! After tomorrow, there will be no one to talk to, how can you not be sad!

The generals and colonels on duty in the fight by the arrow tower all bowed their heads silently, although they couldn't hear the conversation between the two clearly, they could also guess the reason.

"Actually, there's no need to be sad. This time, well, maybe you don't have to go to the prairie! ”

As if a bright light pierced the confusion in front of him, Su Xi was frightened, and didn't seem to react to the meaning of his words, and looked at the young man in front of him a little stunned.

Yuan Zhao sighed slightly, he didn't hold back after all, and told the truth.

"What do you say? Brother Yuan, can you say it again? I didn't hear clearly! ”

Su Xi's eyes were full of tears, but they were full of hope.

"Your Majesty's original intention this time is not really to ask you to go to the grassland and kiss, it's just a pretense. So, don't be afraid, maybe it won't be long before we can go back to Chang'an. ”

Yuan Zhao whispered in her ear, Su Xi felt an itch in her neck, and her face was a little embarrassed, but the joy in her heart slowly began to gather little by little.

"Youβ€”you didn't say that to comfort me, did you? Is this true? ”

The girl clung to his arm, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

"I didn't lie to you, what I said was true. Think about it, why did your father send a large number of palace masters to follow you? I'm afraid that something will go wrong with you in this army. He cares about you so much, how can he be willing to give it to those Huns! Hehe! ”

Yuan Zhao was a little helpless, when did this chick become so bold and guard so many people.

Just now it was just a momentary urgency, Su Xi also discovered his indecency at this time, and quickly let go of his arm and wiped away the tears with a silk handkerchief to hide his embarrassment.

"However, if no one goes to make peace, will the Huns agree? Aren't they coming to invade our borders again! ”

Hearing her say this, Yuan Zhao smiled faintly.

"Han and Hungary will not live in peace in a short period of time, so whether they are in harmony or not, there will not be much change. Moreover, today's son, that is, your father, seems to have made up his mind to start a complete war with the Huns. After this time, it may be a new beginning! ”

"You mean, my father and his courtiers have really decided to go to war with the Huns? Don't you have to endure the humiliation of those offerings and relatives anymore? ”

There was excitement in Su Xi's voice, and she felt more and more that what Yuan Zhao said to her might be true! Then, I can really return to Chang'an again!

"It should be, although it may be a little difficult to win now, but as long as the court makes up its mind, it is only a matter of time before the Huns are defeated."

Where the mountains overlap in the distance, in the distance that can not be seen clearly as far as the eye can see, there are forest birds flying and hanging in the air, the west wind comes from Yanshan, and the warning signal arrives from the grassland!

"It's finally here......!"

Yuan Zhao muttered to himself, and with his fingers, the eyes of everyone on the arrow tower widened, and after a while, several war horses turned out from the foot of the mountain, rushing like flying feather meteors, heading straight for the city gate!

These are the Han army scouts who wander outside Yanmen Pass all the year round, and the latest news they brought back is: Xiongnu Shan Yu personally led the team to greet the Han princess, and is about to step out of the grassland, looking at the direction of the road on the left side of Yanmen Pass, a total of nearly 100,000 elite iron horsemen!

A few hours later, the commanders of the five armies, who had received their own reports, came and gathered at the Youbeiping General's Mansion to hold their last military meeting before the war.

The five people, including the cavalry general Li Guang, the material officer general Han Anguo, the escort general Cheng Buzhi, the light car general Gongsun He, and the tunguan general Wang Hui, all had different expressions. Some people are gearing up, some people are solemn, some people are excited, and some people can't wait!

In fact, speaking in detail, these five Han generals are already the most famous generals in the Han army.

In the past 20 years, except for the local war between the Northern Xinjiang and the Xiongnu, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the new generation of young generals has not grown up, and like Dou Ying, the older generation of generals who shined in the pacification of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion have gradually withered and grown old, even Li Guang, the youngest at the time, is now close to sixty.

Therefore, the imperial court's delay in making up its mind to turn the other cheek with the Huns also has a lot to do with the current embarrassing situation in the army. There is no handsome talent who can command the overall situation!

Li Guangyong is brave, speaking of the brave champion of the three armies and the flying cavalry, he is a well-deserved fierce general in the world! However, when it comes to coordinating the three armed forces, coordinating and cooperating, and coordinating operations...... That's really hard for the veteran.

And the rest are all known for their good guards. Most of the achievements they have achieved and the merits they have made have succeeded by defending fortified cities to retreat from strong enemies or luring the enemy to annihilate them.

The pros and cons of these generals, Emperor Liu Che was very clear in his heart, and after uttering the sigh of the great general, he had no choice and couldn't control much. Because this opportunity is so rare! He also had to take a risk.

This "Shooting the Sky Wolf" operation gathered more than 300,000 elites, accounting for more than half of the garrisons in various parts of the world, which can be described as the largest action of the Han army in more than ten years.

But the emperor was a little helpless about the problem of subordination in the army, because there was no handsome talent in the army!

No matter who makes these five generals with different qualifications and different conducts selected, no one else will be convinced.

In the end, the result of repeated thinking was: the soldiers were divided into five routes, each leading an army. The five-way army, each with its own tasks.

With the bravest Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi, they attacked the Xiongnu head-on, and Han Anguo and Wang Hui, who were good at defending the ambush, intercepted and outflanked, and then responded with Gongsun He everywhere.

After the war was rehearsed, the emperor thought that as long as the Huns fell into the trap, such an arrangement would be absolutely foolproof.

At this time, when I heard the news that the Xiongnu Shan Yu had finally raised troops to the south, the most excited person was undoubtedly Wang Hui, who was also the chief general of the first army as a great commander.

"Generals, please see, this is Mayi City, and this is the West Valley of the Right Beiping, and this is the ...... of Dongling."

Wang Hui pointed a few places with his fingers, and everyone nodded in understanding. The military strategy in the general's palace has been discussed for a while, and they all know that the military situation is urgent, and everyone speaks concisely and clearly, and strives to finish the discussion as soon as possible, so that they can go back and quickly arrange the military plane.

"According to the information sent back by the scouts, it seems that the Xiongnu Shan Yu has completely believed in the death room we sent, so he will dispatch such a huge force as 100,000 iron cavalry. So our original plan should be feasible, we don't need to make any changes, we just do what we do. The general's opinion is to let the princess wait here, let go of Yanmen Avenue, and let the Huns go straight to the right Beiping to greet their relatives, presumably this is what they can't ask for! Ha ha! ”

"Yes, they think they have a plan, when they get here, that is, when they are still fifty miles away from Youbeiping, they will definitely turn to attack Mayi, but they don't know that the middle area between the West Valley and the East Ridge is the place where they will die! When the time comes, General Li and General Cheng will be allowed to show their might, and they will still have the courage to resist under the left and right attacks and lightning speed? ”

Han Anguo took Wang Hui's words, and also pointed out a few places, his voice was heroic, and the generals laughed at each other.

"Bring the wine! Today's business, you can drink strong! ”

The plan has been decided, Li Guang is in a happy mood, and finally he can have a big battle to fight again.

The lieutenant officer was given the order to come up with a jar of wine, and poured five glasses of wine one after another, and the five generals each took it up and drank it all.

The friendship of comrades in the army for many years, and the feelings of killing the enemy side by side, are all in a glass of wine!

As for the battlefield, the sword and arrow have no eyes, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, after waving their hands and separating them, binding their armor and getting on the horse, it is no longer a matter for them to consider!

After the curtain, the young marquis named Yuan Zhao quietly listened to the whole process of their discussion, looked at the figures on horseback who galloped away without hesitation, and silently touched the mottled walls, Qin bricks and Han tiles behind him, this is the courage of the Han family, in the same vein!

Since then, the desert yellow sand, covering the sky and the flag, the wind is across the sword light, thousands of rides.

Whoever treats heaven and earth as chess, stars as children, and turns over the clouds is just child's play.

Talking and laughing, the clouds are rolling around, the scorched earth is thousands of miles, and the smoke and dust in the north are rising!
