The mountains are like the sea, the remnant sun is like blood, and the rolling Great Wall of the former Qin Dynasty winds between the lofty mountains and mountains to the endless distance.

In recent years, due to the continuous invasion of the Huns, the Great Wall here and outside the Great Wall, sparsely populated, several residential villages have been burned to ruins, and the land has gradually become barren.

On a hillside high on a fairly flat hillside, the yellow-maned horse lowered its head and nibbled on the grass roots that had just turned green, snorted, and chewed slowly, its owner had been stationed here for a long time.

"If only the Huns could really come here......!"

After a long time, the general finally withdrew his gaze from afar, and sighed lowly.

The valley at your feet is very quiet, and the military tents are like mushrooms emerging after the rain, densely packed for dozens of miles. Although it was time to start the meal, there was not a trace of fireworks in sight.

For several days, the sergeants had been eating the dry rations they had brought with them, but they had not complained. Because their task is to wait here, waiting for the arrival of their fateful enemy.

Before that, the whereabouts must be kept secret, and no one can slack off in the slightest, otherwise, the knife in the hand of the military judge is not a joke!

Even if it weren't for this, no one in the Han army, which had only 70,000 or 80,000 people, complained, because their commander, Li Guang, a veteran known as the "flying general", also ate and lived in this valley with everyone, and there was no difference in treatment.

After a long time, the veteran has been in vain. It's been more than ten years since I left this battlefield in the north!

More than 10 years ago, the first emperor died, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Empress Dowager Dou in order to deter the ministers, in case of accidents, with the emperor's order to transfer the two famous border generals Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi back to Chang'an, respectively served as the two palace Yulin army guards, since then, they have never been far from the imperial capital. Jin Ge Iron Horse and Desert Lonely Smoke have only become sighs in dreams!

And today, this piece of mountains and rivers is back in view, the armor is in hand, the morale is booming, thousands of horses, and the big war is imminent, how can you not teach people to be proud?

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the old general shook the reins of his horse, and the yellow-maned horse galloped down the slope and entered the camp surrounded by his relatives.

"The front line is quiet, the Huns don't seem to have any action in the past few days, order the generals to restrain their subordinates, continue to lurk and stand by, the old man wants to rush back to the right Beiping city in the starry night, set off immediately, and now go back and arrange it well!"

In the face of the generals and lieutenants who gathered in the tent to obey orders, Li Guang only made a rough remark and was concise and to the point. This is also his style all along.

It is rumored in the Han army that Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi are both famous generals in the world, and they are the most feared generals of the Han Dynasty by the Huns. But the two had very different ways of governing the army.

When Li Guang led his army to march against the enemy, he did not have a strict fixed establishment and ranks, and often set up camp in the places he fancied, and the soldiers moved freely, and there were never those rules and regulations to restrain them. The official orders he formulated and conveyed to his subordinates were also concise in content, few in number, and easy to understand at first listen.

It stands to reason that such a free and loose contingent is not a good target for the enemy's attack?

But it is an evil sect, and the Huns have never dared to sneak attack the flawed camp of Li Guang's army! This can only be attributed to being intimidated by the prestige of the "flying general".

In the Han army in the world, there is no one among the thousands of generals who dares to hold it up like this!

For example, Cheng Buzhi, who was on the same level as Li Guang, was much more cautious, and his army was known for being harsh. Every time the troops are fully organized, the formation is neat, the camp is orderly, the surrounding facilities are complete to resist the enemy, the night beating and fighting patrols are constant, and all kinds of documents and military discipline are meticulous, so that the whole camp is like an iron bucket, although the whole army is tired a little, but "the dog bites the hedgehog, there is nowhere to put his mouth!" "So that the enemy can't find a chance to sneak attack at all, it can be regarded as a miracle strategy, so it is called "the famous general who defends the city".

The two generals fought against the Xiongnu for many years, and in their garrison area, the Huns rarely bargained, which gave Shan Yu a headache. However, in comparison, the Huns were the most important heroes, and they were still more afraid of Li Guang. And the Han soldiers also prefer to listen to orders in front of General Li's tent, this is where Lao Li's personality charm lies!

At this time, hearing that he was in a hurry to return to the city, the generals looked at each other and were a little puzzled.

"Old general, it's already so late, and it's going to get dark soon, and the mountain road is difficult, why don't you leave early tomorrow morning?"

Deputy General Zhang Jin took a step forward, with concern on his face, and persuaded him. Seeing that the rest of the people were also uneasy, Li Guang waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to say more.

"The scout is flying from Pegasus, and the princess's car has arrived...... That child, when the old man was guarding the Weiyang Palace, he was also called an uncle by her, and he watched her grow up, and today she has a weak body and a heavy burden, so far for the country, the old man is a Han general, how can he not greet it! ”

There was a moment of silence in the tent.

So, but rightly so. The last general waited for the general to go early and return early! In addition, the old general is also invited to bring the respect of the whole army to Princess Li'an. ”

All the generals bowed and saluted together, the most important thing is to do this for the country and the family, even women, no exception.

Youbeiping is not so much a border city as a military fortress.

There are not many households in the city, and there are several streets in all directions, but there are military barracks and grain warehouses everywhere.

This is the military base camp of the Han Empire on the northern frontier. The location here is very important, and then a hundred miles to the north is adjacent to the Xiongnu's frontline Yanmen Pass, to the west and Yunzhong, Yuyang is far away, to the northeast is Shanggu, Jianzhou and other military fortresses. It can be said that Youbeiping is the only place to go to the front line from all over the Central Plains in the Guannai.

With such an important position, the imperial court naturally did not dare to take it lightly, and it has been guarded by heavy generals over the years. And this time, he directly appointed the famous general Li Guang to lead the Beiping County Taishou as a cavalry general.

The horse's hooves smashed the night, the general was in iron armor, wearing the moon and returning, but the visitors from Chang'an had not yet slept and were waiting for the candles.

"How could the little marquis know that the old man will definitely come back tonight?"

After removing the armor, the general hid the murderous aura, and in front of Yuan Zhao, the cloth was slowly dressed, but he was more like a kind old man, with a slight curiosity.

"Because, you're a flying general! These dozens of miles are not enough to let the horse jump. Hehe! ”

Yuan Zhao, who had been waiting for a long time, got up to greet him, and handed him a glass of warm wine to relieve his fatigue.

The old Li family, starting from the ancestor Li Xin, is an example of loyalty to the country. In that year, Zhao fell for Qin's divisive plan, killed Li Xin by mistake, destroyed the Great Wall, and finally overthrew Sheji. And Li Xin, who was heavily armed, would rather die unjustly than commit treason and surrender to the enemy, and his loyalty can be seen.

Li Guang has served as the guard of Weiyang Palace for more than ten years, guarding the gate for the old Liu family, and is naturally familiar with Su Xi, who is the eldest princess, since she has come to Youbeiping, Li Guang, who has learned the news, will inevitably take over as soon as possible, not to mention that Su Xi is still a key part of this operation, and there is no room for error.

"Haha! You kid, goblin, you're famous. But this time it's hard for you, and it's rare to be willing to come all the way here. ”

Li Guang slowly drank the wine in the cup, bringing the satisfaction of the aftertaste.

"Where did the old general come from! can have the opportunity to contribute a little strength to the country and the people, but the kid is duty-bound. ”

Changle Hou is righteous and awe-inspiring, righteous and solemn!

"Well, although this is exaggerated ten times, but, for the sake of you being able to give up comfort for the sake of love, the old man is so-so, even if you are still a sincere child!"

Li Guang's eyes narrowed, as if he had already known who you were. This made Yuan Zhao a little helpless, could it be that the patriotic enthusiasm in the heart of this marquis would be fake? Well, but if it weren't for the love of that family, I wouldn't have come here!

"Huh! The old general Starry Night returned from the front line, all the way hard, the princess was tired, and she had already rested earlier, and the boy thanked him first! ”

After speaking, he bowed his hand, but this time he looked very serious.

"What is this hard work! Compared with the little princess's willingness to sacrifice herself for the country, she deserves any courtesy. By the way, the old man has been talking nonsense with you for a long time, and you still don't take out the things you brought to the old man?"

After Li Guang finished speaking, he pointed to the wooden case and signaled to hurry up and hand it over immediately!

Yuan Zhao couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, when the veteran was in Chang'an Weiyang Palace, he seemed silent. I didn't expect to be in the army, but it was another cheerful and interesting look, it seems that the companion is like a tiger, and he still understands the truth that if you say too much, you will lose, and he is not a scheming person.

Yuan Zhao smiled and took out the same things from the leather bag on the side, but it was a few pots of spirits, a sword, and two pair of leggings made of fox skin.

In the light, Li Guang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say that he first reached out and touched a pot of wine, pulled out the stopper, and took a long sip of the aroma of wine, which was mellow and long, refreshing.

"Good wine! Is this the bar you just had drinking? This time it tastes different from the ones you gave you before, but it's a new brew?"

"The old general is really an expert in this! This is a sorghum liquor distilled with a new recipe, but it has just been finished, and this jar, the kid is in these jugs, and brought it here. Specially prepared to give it to the old general, with a strong voice! ”

"Wonderful! It is with the old man's heart. Just for these few pots of good wine, the old man will shoot a few more Hun horsemen at that time, so as to live up to the good intentions of the boy. ”

Li Guang was reluctant to enjoy it himself, cherished it aside, and instructed his attendants to put it away and wait until the day of the great victory to celebrate with the soldiers of the whole army.

Yuan Zhao secretly praised in his heart, the demeanor of a famous general, and the quality of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers is really not a lie!

I saw Li Guang take a closer look at the sword again, gently stroked the sword body with his hand, touched a few small inscriptions, and his face became solemn.

"If the old man's expectations are good, this sword is the famous Spring and Autumn Famous Sword 'Qingge', right?"

"Yes, it is rumored that the inscription on the body of this sword was engraved by Ou Yezi, the master of sword casting. Qingyu into his arms, Gouge area'! It seems to say that the sharpness of this sword means that when the feathers of a bird touches the edge of the sword, it will also shatter into flying feathers. Hehe, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Yuan Zhao said casually, with a ridiculous tone.

Li Guang glanced at him with strange eyes, as if he blamed him for not knowing the goods. Casually pulled down the tail feathers of a carved arrow from the quiver on the wall, flicked his fingers, and when the flying feathers floated in the air, the sword had already flashed like lightning, but when he saw the broken jade like snow foam, it fell to the ground in white!

The lieutenants inside and outside cheered. Sure enough, it is a divine weapon, rare in the world.

"The old general is good at swordsmanship! Hehe, this sword is also a little bit of the kid's heart, given to the old general, looking forward to the two armies in the array, clicking together, chopping vegetables and cutting melons! ”

"What a mess! Boy, this treasure is too heavy, the old man deserves it, you still ....... ”

"Hey, stop, stop! More than a thousand miles, is it easy for me to carry it for you? Do you want me to carry it back again? Well, there's this, but the kid did it for the old general, the wind is cold in the north, and the night is heavy and dewy, so if you go to patrol the camp or something, you can protect your legs, and it will be much warmer. ”

“…… This kid has a heart......! ”

The hardness tempered by blood and fire also had a warm touch, and the legendary general with the ape arm who was good at shooting patted the shoulder of the short body in front of him vigorously, and did not say the word 'thanks'.
