Eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, a month and a half of mud and sand, and another year of Duanyang Day, finally arrived at Yumen Pass, and the 200,000 troops of the Northwest Battalion joined forces. In the season when flowers should be blooming, there is only yellow sand in the sky. There is a poem that says well: The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate.

To the west of Yumen Pass, there are the 36 countries of Xirong, which were captured by Duanmulan in one fell swoop three years ago, and now they are occupied by Luotang.

Through the battle between Mobei and the Lynx, the emperor collected a lot of money and grain, and Luotang thought that the battle of Mobei had contained the countryless and invaded on a large scale. Luotang and Wuguo are on a par, and Xirong is also wavering, and Luotang will occupy the entire Xirong in a few months.

I and the prisoners were assigned to the infantry battalion that served as a meat shield, and he was not guilty, I placed him in the city of Guannei, the demon shadow was sent by him, Dongfang Xiaoya was held in captivity as a hostage, and I came to Duanmulan with no worries.

"Lord Wang, you are walking in the camp and smuggling into the tent, and you are a sinner who collaborates with the enemy and treason, so you should be beheaded by the army." Duan Mulan misunderstood me a lot, I didn't want to analyze what the emperor said to her, and I didn't need to explain, because she definitely believed the emperor.

I said to Worry-free, "Worry-free, this is your mother." ”

Worry-free opened his round eyes and looked at Duan Mulan and then at me, and said to me with disgust: "Mother's armor is much more domineering than Daddy!" ”

Duan Mulan was puzzled, but she still let Jianbi Qingye - the two iron-masked female lieutenants take Wuwu out to play, and then asked: "Where did the prince get this romantic debt, and brought the child to the barracks?" ”

"She was assigned to serve in the army, and my mother was played to death by those soldiers and ruffians under you, didn't I do a good deed for the first time? I know that the emperor didn't want me to go back alive, and I asked General Duanmu to take care of this child and hand it over to the gray fox when I return to Beijing. ”

When Duan Mulan heard this, she went to check the roster of the army: "The King of Xiang* has no poetry, he is only five years old, the emperor really hates the King of Xiang, and he will not let go of such a small one." ”

In the eyes of a lover, she naturally does not think that the emperor is ruthless. I disagreed: "All the sons are killed according to the law, let alone the nieces?" ”

"Son?"

The emperor and Princess Chaoyang had a son as a brother and sister, and it was a secret matter of the palace, and Duan Mulan didn't know it.

"Didn't he always say that he would treat me as his own? Still trying to kill me? I am also fated to be carefree, and my circumstances are similar, and I hope that the general will protect her in the affection we have drunk. ”

"The prince also underestimates me too much, you have the virtue of a good life, how can I bear to watch such a young child die tragically?"

Duanmulan asked Jianbi Qingye to bring Wuwu in, Wuwu had no memories of before, thinking that Duanmulan was really her mother, and she was ecstatic to see Duanmulan.

"Mother, did you quarrel with your father?"

Duan Mulan looked at me, and I said I didn't understand why she asked.

"My mother didn't come to see me and my father all the way, but I miss my mother very much."

For the first time, I heard Duanmulan say softly, "Why don't you come to my mother?" ”

"Daddy said that my mother is busy with military affairs, so don't let me disturb you."

"Did you know I was your mother for a long time?" Duan Mulan looked at me, and she was asking me "why did you choose her".

I said to Worry-free: "Worry-free, Daddy didn't lie to you, your mother is a general, isn't she very proud?" ”

At the same time, it is also to answer Duan Mulan's question, in the military camp, there is nothing more noble and safer than the identity of the general's daughter.

"Hmmm! It would be better if Daddy was also a general! ”

Duan Mulan doesn't want me to make meritorious contributions to become a general, which means that her mission has failed.

I said, "Although your father and I are small soldiers, we are the first soldier with a prince in the first place, and I am the lord of the county." ”

She was originally a small county lord, and she should be no stranger to it, but she said: "I don't want to be a county lord, I want to be a general like my mother!" ”

It's not early, although I avoided patrolling, it is inevitable that there will be many people, as a collaborator and traitor, a private meeting with the general for a long time will bring trouble to Duanmulan, I hugged and said goodbye to them.

Worry-free still didn't understand that I went to the battlefield maybe it was goodbye, and there was nothing to worry about, but he asked innocently: "Is Daddy sleeping with Sister Xiaoya again?" Why can't I sleep with my mother? ”

Duanmulan looked at me contemptuously, there were several black lines on my forehead, and the child understands that sleeping together means sleeping together, when all the prisoners slept together, she and Xiaoya were close to each other before taking out Xiaoya alone.

I squatted down and combed her shoulder-length hair and said, "Daddy has to go back to his tent and sleep with your Fourth Uncle Xin, you think Sister Xiaoya's mother will take you there, you have to listen to your mother here, you must not walk around alone, remember?" ”

"I remember, Daddy walks slowly." Carefree stretched out his hand to me and gestured goodbye.

Maybe the next time we meet, you won't remember me.

The atmosphere is becoming increasingly tense, and the soldiers' drills are becoming more and more strict, and I uphold the principle of "being lazy and never moving", and I am sneaking and playing tricks, and I quickly became a "veteran oilman" with the shortest enlistment time.

Our battalion can be said to be the lowest in the whole army, and it is called a "supernumerary battalion", and the other battalions have 3,000 people, of which we only have 500, all of them are crane tails and criminals, and they have no grand desire to serve the motherland and make meritorious contributions. Xin Si is an exception, and he is undoubtedly a pacesetter.

The person who confiscated the army was not eligible to be rewarded, but later the superior found that there was hope to have strength, but he could not really reward the sinner, so there was a mechanism for meritorious service and atonement: the guilty person beheaded the enemy 300 to avoid his sin, and he could enjoy the reward opportunity with ordinary soldiers, but he had to defeat the enemy ten times more than ordinary soldiers to enjoy the same reward as ordinary soldiers. In other words, if you want to be a canton, you must behead at least 2,000 enemy soldiers.

This goal is simply an unattainable star, just look at it, when it first came out, it also attracted a group of people with strong hearts, and then those people died on the battlefield, and the living people knew that this was tempting to give their lives, and the veteran personally warned future generations: Don't take it seriously, if you take it seriously, you will lose.

Xin Si's ambition is obviously much greater than others, he doesn't believe in evil, he believes that he will be able to change his fate, and rely on military merits to become a lieutenant of Yilu, commanding a battalion of soldiers.

Wuguo had sufficient supplies, and began to turn defense into offense, taking the initiative to attack. Every time I skirmished, I would be carried to the battlefield, but I never brought back a single enemy head, but Xin Si had already received seventy or eighty of them in three battles.
