On the day of the end of the roasted tail feast, Xue Shao returned to the martial arts academy. The expedition is imminent, and the official settlement here must be clearly arranged.

When he returned to the Lecture Martial Academy, Xue Shao found that the news of the Turkic rebellion had spread to the public. The people in the martial arts academy were discussing fiercely, and Cheng Boxian and several other generals were the loudest and even scolded endlessly.

This time the Turkic rebellion was very large-scale, and the disaster was not small.

Last time, Pei Xingjian's Northern Expedition to eliminate evil was not exhausted, and he escaped a Turkic chieftain Ashdwin Fu. After that, Ashdwin Fu contacted all the departments of the grassland to entangle the soldiers and horses, and once again raised the banner of rebellion, and the 60,000 army attacked Yunzhou, an important border town in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and was repelled by Cheng Wuting, the governor of Fengzhou, and Dou Huai, the governor of Daizhou.

Although Ashdwin was defeated twice, his courageous rebellion greatly fueled the ambitions of the Turkic tribes, and rebellions swarmed. At this time, Ashina Funian, a descendant of the Turkic Khan, established himself as a khan and combined the steppe rebels into one unit, forming a huge organized rebellion.

Soon, Turkic soldiers and horses successively invaded the northern border towns of Wonju and Gyeongju. Ashdwin immediately joined forces with him, and the Turkic rebels grew in strength again.

Li Wenjun, the head of the Dingxiangdao march stationed at the border pass, put down the rebellion in the north and northwest of the governor of Gyeongju, Cao Huaishun, and was defeated in three battles, and the Tang army died seven or eight out of ten. The situation at the northwestern border pass was the worst, and many rural prefectures and counties in Wonju and Gyeongju were slaughtered and burned to the city, and the corpses were all over the wilderness and the city was empty.

After the Northern Expedition of the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin pacified the Turkic Khanate, the Turkic steppe tribes that had been silent for nearly half a century were raging and stubborn, and there was no inch of peace in the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of refugees fled from the north, and the displaced people in the northwest and Hebei were devastated, the soldiers were in chaos, the cities were destroyed, and the mountain villas were empty and the fields were barren.

The Tang Empire, which was peaceful in the four seas, was filled with smoke overnight, and the world shook and the people were terrified!

At this time, the Tang Dynasty court, which was ruled by Wu Zetian, made a tough response, ordering Pei Xingjian, the general of the right guard of the inspection school, to be the general of the march, Cheng Wuting and Tang Huaibi to be the deputy commanders of the march, and to integrate the troops and horses of Li Wenyun and Cao Huaishun in the front, and raise a total of 300,000 troops - the Northern Expedition to the Turks!

300,000, the Tang Empire has never raised such a large-scale sword army since the pacification of Goguryeo in the era of Li Tao.

Wang Shi quelled the rebellion and hanged the people, and the Tang Dynasty wanted to decide the ambition of the north in a war, and praised the people of the world.

The people in the martial arts academy were all enthusiastic, and even the envoy with a sword and pen in his hand raised his fist, and his fighting spirit was raging.

The Tang Dynasty is still martial, and even the scholars are full of blood!

As soon as Xue Shao appeared, he was surrounded by these people.

Cheng Boxian was the first to roar: "General Xue, the imperial court issued an edict to recruit warriors, and promised to summon the brave young men to join the army to serve the country and make meritorious contributions with food and salary. All men in the Tang world who have a bloody righteousness have the heart to kill the enemy! How long will I wait for the general? ”

"I would like to ask General Xue to take the lead, and I will follow him to the death - go to the northern Xinjiang to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" Everyone shouted together.

Xue Shaozhi Dao, Cheng Boxian and others are deliberately building momentum, and only by sharing the same enemy can they be enemies, and it is easy to do things together. It is better to be alone than a single force, and the people who talk about the martial arts academy want to appear in the form of a "team"!

"All the brothers are eager to serve the country, Xue Shao, too!" Xue Shao said loudly.

"Good—" was applauded, and the crowd was excited.

Xue Shao pressed his hands to signal everyone to calm down, and said: "I will write a letter in the name of the Martial Arts Academy, but how the imperial court will use people, I have to wait for it." No matter what the court decides, please follow the hospitality, and there must be no other discussions! ”

"Good!" Everyone agreed.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Wanqing was a little panicked, and hurriedly invited Xue Shao aside and said, "Xue Gongzi, you want to ask for war in the collective name of the Martial Arts Academy, I have no objection." But you still have to have a choice, right? ”

The implication is that if you want to pull all the people from the martial arts academy away, I won't be the commander of the light rod?

"Don't worry, Yuan Gong, I won't let the people of the Martial Arts Academy go to the empty building." Xue Shao smiled and comforted him, and said, "Yuan Gong is definitely going to sit in the Martial Academy, and the book order envoy will only take half of it." I will leave Xiao Zhizhong and Li Xianyuan to assist you. If you want to add some students, please ask Yuan Gong to choose as appropriate. ”

"That's good, that's good!" Yuan Wanqing smiled and let go.

At dinner time, the lively discussion in the dining hall did not stop for a moment. Xue Shao was surrounded by the Four Imperial Swords, Xue Chuyu, Guo Yuanzhen, and Wei Yuanzhong, and everyone was very interested in talking about military affairs.

Xue Shao found a problem, Cheng Boxian and these people have never really been on the battlefield. In the heart of every man, there is a heroic dream of killing the enemy with a fierce horse and a spear, and when the war is together, these people will immediately be high-spirited!

Xue Shao has been on the battlefield, although it is not a cold weapon battlefield, but the essence of war is the same. In the words of the ancient soldiers, those who know soldiers are not warlike. War means hardship, cruelty, death and destruction, and it is not that those who have never been on the battlefield are surrounded by iron-blooded romance as they imagine.

The hot-blooded youth is full of unknown fears and ideal hopes for the battlefield, just like an eagle about to spread its wings facing the sky that has been looking up. They knew that there would be wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the sky, but they still couldn't suppress their ambition to fight the sky, and they would eventually jump out of the warm nest to avoid the wind and rain, spread their wings, and soar into the sky.

This is also the precious thing about bloody men!

The meal has been eaten, the canteen has been cleaned up, Xue Shao, Cheng Boxian and others are still sitting around talking about military affairs, martial arts and current affairs and political opinions, and there is no sense of fatigue and boredom at all.

At this moment, three people came from the martial arts courtyard. The sergeant didn't stop them or report them, and let them in.

Because these three people are members of the Martial Arts Academy.

Wu Yizong, Wu Yougui and Song Zhiwen, as soon as these three people entered the courtyard, they came straight to Xue Shao. As soon as I stepped into the dining hall, the audience was quiet.

Xue Shao, Cheng Boxian and the others all stared at them quietly, like a pack of wolves fighting side by side all year round, staring at the three jackals that had broken into their territory.

"General Xue, I'm too late, and I hope to forgive my sins!" Wu Yougui opened his mouth to speak, bent down and bowed.

Wu Yizong and Song Zhiwen also bowed down.

Xue Shao took a step forward and said indifferently: "It's okay." The two generals are busy with military affairs, and it is not too late to come. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they had already chosen Song Zhi's question.

Wu Yizong and Wu Yougui saw that the atmosphere of the scene was not right, and Cheng Boxian and the others were simply eyeing each other, so they said: "In this way, the two of us will go to the pavilion to settle down first, and then come to visit General Xue later." ”

"Please take care of yourself." Xue Shao didn't say much.

Song Zhiwen didn't dare to move, and stood there with his waist bent at ninety degrees.

Cheng Boxian and the others squinted at him with great disdain, and snorted coldly in their noses. After hearing about Song Zhiwen's killing of his nephew and stealing poetry, Song Zhiwen is synonymous with "scum" in the eyes of people who talk about martial arts, and he has the heart to beat him to death when he encounters him on the street. I didn't expect such a scumbag to sneak into the martial arts academy next to the nephew of the martial arts family, and I really wanted to drown him with a mouthful of spittle.

Xue Shao frowned and looked at Song Zhiwen, it looked like a person who didn't look bad, the appearance of bending over and bowing his head was very standard, and he was smiling with a thief's eyebrows.

"Stand up straight." Xue Shao said two words.

Song Zhiwen stood up straight and smiled, "General Xie." ”

Xue Shaoyi raised his head and frowned and held his breath, this bad breath really deserved its reputation!

Song Zhiwen hurriedly covered his mouth and took two steps back, and laughed dryly with twitching cheeks, "I...... I've also settled in the building, so please take my leave! ”

With that, he bent down and fled in a hurry.

"General Xue's injury is not light!" Cheng Boxian and the others laughed.

Song Zhiwen ran faster, and when he reached the door, he tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground on the spot.

Bang Tang laughed, Xue Shao also laughed, Song Zhiwen got up and fled.

"This slut, what is he doing!" Cheng Boxian and others scolded endlessly.

Xue Shao said: "The three of them appeared in the Martial Arts Academy at this time, of course, they wanted to go to the army together to mix up some military achievements." ”

"Such a person is also worthy of the battlefield?" A group of people scolded with disdain.

Xue Shao waved his hand to signal them not to shout and scold, and said, "The Tao is not the same, but you don't have to be like them. ”

Cheng Boxian and the others didn't scold anymore, they knew in their hearts that these two people surnamed Wu were the queen of heaven, and they were talking about martial arts.

In the evening, Xue Shao, Cheng Boxian and others drew up a list of requests for war together in the room, and also wrote a letter of request, just waiting for it to be sent to the court tomorrow. Because it was in the name of the martial arts academy, this matter had to fall on the old man Yuan Wanqing, and he asked him to go to the military department to submit the petition.

The names of Wu Yizong and the other three people, Xue Shao still wrote them. Anyway, the three of them followed the expedition to get a bottle of soy sauce, and they couldn't annoy Wu Zetian because of this trivial matter.

When the matter was done, it was already dark, and everyone dispersed to rest.

Xue Shao breathed a sigh of relief and habitually walked to the window. Today, I was pestered by Cheng Boxian and others, and I didn't have time to "date" Shangguan Wan'er. Now it's pitch black outside the window, and you can't see anything.

Just as Xue Shao was about to close the window and go to bed, there was suddenly a little light on the side of Qiuseyuan.

Someone lit an oil lamp. The night breeze swayed leisurely, and the face of the person holding the lamp could not be seen clearly, and he could only vaguely distinguish a person in a white dress.

Xue Shao stood still and watched.

Immediately, a second light came on, followed by a third, a fourth, and many more.

All the oil lamps were placed in the courtyard of Qiuse, hi!

Xue Shaozhi said that it was Shangguan Wan'er congratulating him on his engagement to Princess Taiping.

The marriage of the two saints is a great joy for the country, and the people in the harem will definitely be able to get some joy and get rewarded. It is not surprising that Shangguan Wan'er would know such news.

Xue Shao smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, frowned slightly, and shook his head gently.

Should I tell her about my upcoming expedition?

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

[The first volume focuses on foreshadowing, and the plot may be a little slow, but the foundation has been laid, and all the waterways have been formed. Therefore, the second volume will be full of enthusiasm and climax, everyone should read it more and vote vigorously! 】
