When Princess Han Li'an set off from Chang'an, she was escorted by 300 Yulin soldiers, which is also a system that has always been stipulated by the Han family.

The captain of Yulin is named Cao Xiang, who is only in his early twenties, with a thin waist and a face like a crown of jade, with the red robe and white feathers of the Yulin Army, and the armor fits, but he is a handsome young general.

Those who can be selected into the Han Forbidden Army and guard the Weiyang Palace have extremely strict requirements for family background, conduct, and appearance, and most of them are naturally the children of the families of the nobles and heroes, at least they are also from good families.

The special identity and growth experience have gradually developed the habit of being arrogant and empty-eyed.

There was an ancient style that described the flashy and heroic life of these Chang'an children very appropriately:

Young chivalrous, befriending Wuduxiong. Liver and gallbladder holes, hair shrugging. In the negotiation, life and death are the same, and a promise is heavy. Push the brave, the bold and longitudinal, the light cover embraces, the joint flying and the east of the city. Booming drinking, spring floating cold urn, sucking the sea and weeping rainbows! Idle eagle cluster dogs, white feathers pick eagle bows, cunning holes, happy to ...... in a hurry.

In other words, these people have come from the stage of being chivalrous and chivalrous, and their mental strength is not ordinary!

Cao Xiang is one of the best. Speaking of his father, not many people know about it, but he is just an ordinary marquis who served as a casual official, worked all his life, and died early.

But when it comes to his great-grandfather, everyone knows that it is the famous Pingyang Hou Cao Shen. The allusion of "Xiao Gui Cao Sui" is about the ancestor of his family.

Cao Shen assisted Emperor Gaozu in founding the country, bestowed the title of Marquis of Wanhu, successively entered the prime minister, made outstanding achievements, and won the trust of Emperor Liu's Han family. In addition, this person is sleek, knows the truth of self-preservation, understands the first opportunity, and knows how to advance and retreat, so Yu Yin blessed the descendants, making the Pingyang Marquis one of the only remaining families of lords since the Han Dynasty.

Cao Xiang is also regarded as a thousand-mile horse of the Cao family, inheriting the title of Marquis of Pingyang as the eldest son of the eldest son, and guarding the Forbidden Palace. Young and sharp, he has also practiced bows, swords and arrows since he was a child, and he is skilled in all eighteen kinds of blades.

This was the first time he had led his troops out on a mission, and although there were only 300 horsemen, his mood was still very excited. Because, the destination of this trip is Northern Xinjiang! War, stray arrows, Huns, life and death, .......

Just like every teenager in the world has a dream of going to the world. It is always a pity for a man who has learned martial arts to be a man who has not undergone the baptism and test of the battlefield!

In his vision of going north, although this is only a simple escort mission, he will definitely meet with the real Hun Iron Cavalry, if ...... If you can find an opportunity to have something indescribable with them, it is better to have one or two Huns who are not long-eyed, and they will be killed by themselves, hehe! When I returned to Chang'an, I only had the display in front of my former companions!

However, the reality made him a little depressed. Thousands of miles to the north, not to mention the boring and boring all the way, it has been so many days in Youbeiping, just waiting quietly in a resting place every day, and can't go anywhere.

Cao Xiang wanted to lead a group of brothers out to do something, but when Li Guang hurriedly returned to the city and left that day, he specially instructed them to protect the princess in this right Beiping, and not to act rashly, otherwise the military law will be engaged!

Alas! Although this old General Li is on the front line, he still has the name of the Weiyang Palace Guard, and he is the chief general of their Yulin Army for many years, do you dare to listen to his orders? I had no choice but to continue waiting.

There is a piece of gossip that has been quietly circulating among the brothers, saying that the emperor's real intention this time is not to be friendly at all, but to lure Shan Yu! I heard that there is a big battle ahead, and maybe in a few days, their group of people will have enough rest in the city, and they will almost be able to return to Chang'an.

When Cao Xiang and his Yulin Army brothers talked about this matter at the garrison of the General's Mansion, although they didn't know whether it was true or not, there was always some unhappiness in their hearts.

I finally came once, not to mention fighting with the Huns, I didn't even see a single of their hair, but I ate a mouthful of sand.

Just when they were in a hurry and full of complaints, the news suddenly came!

What's what? Did the Hun cavalry run to the right Beiping? This is really a dozing off, someone will send a pillow! So what are you waiting for, brothers put on armor and get on the horses, copy the guys!

The huge sense of excitement made these guys who had only hunted with the emperor in Shanglin Yuan excited, everyone was quick with their hands and feet, put on armor, put on red battle robes, put on white feather helmets, complete swords and arrows, stepped on war horses, and gathered in front of the general's mansion majestically.

When Yuan Zhao brought Wei Qing and the others out, he happened to see this scene, he was expressionless and ignored them.

This group of arrogant guys is no different from those of the second generation in later generations, and today's events don't refer to them at all, and they will burn high incense if they don't come to make trouble.

Guan Xi, the left-behind general, had already hurriedly gone to the city to watch the enemy's situation and arranged a garrison. I don't blame him for panicking, because now there are less than 1,000 soldiers and horses defending the city in Youbeiping!

"Things are getting a little troublesome......." Yuan Zhao thought to himself.

His worst fears finally happened! Obviously, there was a change in the plan, and no matter how the Huns noticed it, there must have been nothing good about sending only light cavalry before the army arrived!

Since the Xiongnu Shan Yu has become suspicious, this time he ...... I'm afraid that after all, there will be a lot of failures.

At this time, everyone in the General's Mansion already knew the news. The chief administrator named Xie Jiu gathered the thirty "Xifengwei" attendants with a gloomy face, and put the princess's residence on strict guard. No matter what happens, it is their only duty to protect the personal safety of Princess Hollywood.

"Changle Hou, what do you want?"

Xie Jiu had already carried a knife, and all thirty attendants were all swords of the same standard. Their swords are all given by the royal family, and their allegiance is only to the royal family. Here, there are thirty-one knives, and there is only one person who is loyal ~ Princess Li'an!

"The Huns are coming soon, let's go to the city and have a look."

Yuan Zhao stopped, followed by Wei Qing and the ten Xiao Cavalry Brothers.

"Swords and arrows have no eyes, you ...... After all, he is younger, and there is always danger in the city, so it is better to stay in the general's mansion with the princess. ”

Xie Jiu's dull and stern face had no expression, but there was a hint of warmth in his words.

Yuan Zhao smiled at him, and glanced at the Yulin soldiers who had already mounted their horses outside the gate over there.

"Now that those guys are gone, let's follow behind to see what the Huns look like, and if they start, it's good to help throw a brick." Ha ha! Well, thank you for your kindness, you just need to protect the princess. ”

Seeing him say this, Xie Jiu no longer persuaded him, arched his hand and turned away, shouting at everyone to guard all parts of the General's Mansion in case anything happened in the chaos.

Yuan Zhao suddenly felt a touch of pale green in the corner of his eyes, and when he stared at it, he saw that on the steps, on the side of the hall door, Su Xi was standing there, looking at ...... side with a worried face.

At this moment, the gates on all sides had already been tightly closed. Martial law began to be imposed on the streets, and the residents, vendors, and idlers of the city were ordered to go back to their houses and stay safe.

Fortunately, these border cities in northern Xinjiang have been repeatedly warned, and the people who live here all the year round have long been accustomed to these things, so there is no chaos.

Their group of more than 10 people galloped to the west city gate, dismounted and walked along the horse road to climb the city tower, and greeted the city defenders, when they looked far away, they saw the northwest direction of smoke and dust, and the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground faintly came like thunder.

"Looking at this formation, I'm afraid there are not as many as 10,000 riders! The smoke and dust are mixed with murderous aura, I'm afraid it's not good! ”

Wei Qing finished muttering, but he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw Yuan Zhao looking at him with a strange look.

"Well, I learned all of this from the military books you gave me, but I don't know if it's accurate. On paper, you don't have to laugh. ”

Yuan Zhao gave a thumbs up in admiration. This is a natural talent! This quality is really not blown. Before he started to officially lead troops in actual combat, he had already learned the art of looking at the clouds and observing qi.

"At this time, a large group of cavalry came running here...... Let's see, something is wrong! ”

Yuan Zhao did not hide his worries. This is not a fight between the rivers and lakes, let alone the recklessness of those gangs, among the ten thousand armies, even if an individual has great ability, it is not of much use. He hasn't been conceited to that crazy point yet!

There were not many defenders in the city, and some of them were divided to maintain order in various parts of the city, guarding the treasury and other critical places, and the remaining six or seven hundred people were scattered and guarded on the huge city walls on all sides, which seemed sparse.

Adjutant General Guan Xi's festive face has now completely turned into a crying face, running back and forth with a few captains leading the troops, and ordering the soldiers to tidy up the city defense equipment and prepare to meet the enemy.

Guan Xi now wants to cry, he has never had the experience of being alone, and now such a big burden suddenly weighed on his shoulders...... This, if this is lost in his own hands, he doesn't even dare to think about the consequences!

Seeing some chaotic scenes in the city, Yuan Zhao frowned. If this appearance was seen by the Huns, they had no intention of attacking the city, and I am afraid they would have changed their minds to storm the city.

Looking at the horses in the distance, it will probably take less than half an hour to reach the city. Since there are so many people for a while, don't arrange everywhere, quickly plant all the flags all over the city wall, the golden drum is hidden, all the soldiers are hidden behind the flag, and only the main officers are left on the arrow tower to observe the enemy situation and adapt to the situation, which is called "avoiding the real as if it is empty, and the empty is coming to the truth"!

Listening to Yuan Zhao's words and instructions, the left-behind young general named Guan Xi was dumbfounded, can this, do you do this?

He hesitated slightly, and was about to open his mouth to express his doubts, but when he looked up, he met a pair of eyes of this little marquis, and he couldn't help but shiver inexplicably.

Deep as a cold pool, infinitely majestic, with an irresistible sense of great oppression!

Is this still the boy who talked and laughed with him in the General's Mansion an hour ago?!

Thinking of the importance that General Xiaocai attached to this Changle Marquis from Chang'an, and hearing the sound of horses' hooves in his ears becoming more and more audible, Guan Xi gritted his teeth, gave up his orders, and urged all the defenders to quickly follow Changle Hou's orders!

"Little Marquis, isn't this a strategy to hide your true strength, confuse the other party, and make the enemy unable to figure out the truth and truth? But I don't know where the plan is, but there are examples of war?"

Wei Qing arched his hand seriously in an attitude of not shamelessly asking, and asked solemnly with a solemn face. More than a dozen people next to him also stretched their necks, a little unclear.

"Well, it's called the 'Empty City Plan'. The void is false, and doubts arise from doubts; When it is rigid and soft, it is strange and strange! I once heard that someone relied on his prestige to play a song at the head of the city, and retreated 100,000 strong enemies with an empty city...... I just don't know if it's an equally blind house finch that came today! Hehe. ”

Everyone in the city listened with fascination and excitement! Is there such a person in this world?

"I was watching the mountain scenery from the castle tower, and I heard the chaos outside the city. The banner was flipped in the air, but it turned out to be a soldier ......sent by the Huns. ”

In a melodious and tactful cappella tune that had never been heard before, in the eyes of everyone, they saw the young man named Yuan Zhao, leisurely adjusting the strange killing device in his hand, and buttoning the nine crossbow arrows one by one.
