Chapter 871: Beacon Fire
At lunch the next day, an old acquaintance who had not seen each other for a long time came to see Xue Shao and said that there was something important.
Li Xianyuan.
Xue Shao was amused when he saw him, thinking about it, he seemed to have completely forgotten him. Until now, he has been allowed to lead a group of old and weak soldiers to guard the small camp outside the city that has long lost its meaning.
When Li Xianyuan saw Xue Shao, he couldn't stop sighing. Xue Shao asked him what was wrong?
He replied with a sad face, "I'm so lonely." β
"Huh?" Xue Shao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, how could this make people feel chilled?
"I want to get married." Li Xianyuan's quiet way has a little charm of an elderly resentful woman.
Xue Shao couldn't help laughing again and again, "Which girl did you fall in love with?" Say it, and I'll call the shots for you. β
"There is no suitable partner yet." Li Xianyuan pouted, looking very sad, "Actually, if I were a woman, I wouldn't want to marry Li Xianyuan." You say, where do I go to find the right person? β
Xue Shao blinked, and said in his heart that this god stick pretended to act up enough today, what did he want to do?
"I want to go back to the capital." Li Xianyuan seemed to know that he couldn't hide it from Xue Shao, so he said weakly.
Xue Shao smiled: "Do you know that Cheng Boxian will return to Beijing tomorrow? β
Li Xianyuan nodded frequently.
"Okay, you can go back to the capital with him!" Xue Shao smiled, "By the way, on the way, help me take care of the moon slave." β
"Hmm......" Li Xianyuan agreed, but he didn't seem to be too excited.
Xue Shao muttered in his heart, and asked tentatively: "I'll send a message to Princess Taiping, and ask her to come forward to help arrange a half-official position for you in the capital, and then give you a suitable marriage by the way." In the future, you don't have to come to Xiazhou again. β
"Great, great!" Li Xianyuan was overjoyed at this time, and gave Xue Shao a lecture again and again.
Xue Shao smiled, it turned out that this product didn't want to continue to mix in the army! β¦β¦ He can't be blamed, the army is a disciplined and boring and difficult place, and with his personality, he is more suitable for wandering in the prosperous and rich countryside of the capital.
"Young marshal, before leaving, Xiao Sheng has a nonsense that I don't like to hear, and I want to talk to you." Li Xianyuan whispered, weakly.
"Say it!" Xue Shao looked at him, why is this thing babbling today?
Li Xianyuan got closer, his lips almost touched Xue Shao's ear, and whispered a few words.
Xue Shao frowned slightly at first, gradually changed his expression slightly, and finally his expression changed dramatically, and he fell into a serious silence.
"Xiaosheng is here, why don't you make a pavement and explain?" Li Xianyuan asked cautiously.
Xue Shao was reasonable, but with Li Xianyuan's identity and ability, he was not enough to take on this heavy responsibility. After thinking for a moment, Xue Shao said, "I have my own arrangements. β
"That's good." Li Xianyuan smiled, and was relieved.
Xue Shao smiled gratefully and patted Li Xianyuan's shoulder, "Thank you for the reminder, otherwise, I might really miss a big thing." β
"We don't have to be so polite to each other, right?" Li Xianyuan immediately changed into the appearance of a hippie smiling god, and stretched out his hand towards Xue Shao as he spoke.
"It's really easy to change, and it's hard to change your nature!" Xue Shao laughed, casually took the Lantian jade paperweight on his table to Li Xianyuan, and said, "I don't have any cash at hand, you can exchange this for some wine to drink!" β
"Thank you, young marshal!" Li Xianyuan's eyes lit up, and he carefully took the paperweight, and said with a smile, "The young marshal uses all good things, and this paperweight can make me a squire and landlord in the suburbs of Luoyang!" β
"You know the goods." Xue Shao smiled, "But I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." This is a treasure that Wei Zhibei received from Hu Shang in the Western Regions at a high price when he was in power, and he himself was not willing to use it, but now it is cheaper for you. β
"Thank you, thank you!" Li Xianyuan gave up his hand, "The young marshal is busy with military affairs, Xiaosheng will leave!" β
After Li Xianyuan left, Xue Shao pondered for a moment. After coming to Helong, he devoted himself to military affairs, and forgot an important thing in the capital.
Although Li Xianyuan, a magic stick, is unreliable ninety percent of the time, his ability to "stargaze" is extraordinary. Xue Shao couldn't use his existing knowledge to understand how he could see those major events in the world from the astrology, but the few words he reminded just now really made Xue Shao wake up!
ββLi Xianyuan said that external worries are uncertain and internal troubles will arise. In the short term, there is a high probability that there will be a rebellion within our DPRK. And the initiator of this rebellion is very likely to be "related to the young marshal"!
If it were someone else, it was very likely that they would take Li Xianyuan's words as a fart. But Xue Shao immediately thought of his eldest brother Xue Yi, who was far away in the capital, and those Li Tang royal families who had long been ready to move. Now the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are inseparable, and most of the troops in the capital have been sent to fight. At the same time, frequent military mistakes have brought Wu Zetian's prestige into unprecedented doubt.
For the Li Tang royal family, now is their best opportunity to challenge Wu Zetian!
Once the incident really happened, it was difficult for Xue Shao to determine what kind of attitude his eldest brother Xue Yi would have. If he is also wrapped in it, it will really be a tragedy that history repeats itself!
After thinking for a while, Xue Shao came to the room to find the moon slave.
After being pregnant, the moon slave was like a different person, she became quiet, and it could even be said that she was quiet. Every time she saw Xue Shao, she smiled like the happiest and most satisfied woman in the world. The child who was not yet born in her womb had already stimulated her latent motherhood, making her now full of charming femininity.
"Yuenu, tomorrow you will leave with Cheng Boxian to go back to the capital." Xue Shao said to her, "I asked Li Xianyuan to escort you all the way. β
"Him?" Yuenu laughed on the spot, "He doesn't want me to protect him, it's good." β
"Don't talk nonsense." Xue Shao also smiled, "You are pregnant now, and it is inconvenient." It's not a bad thing to have an acquaintance by your side. β
"Just listen to Childe." The moon slave agreed, but she was inevitably a little sad, "How long will it take for me to see my son again?" β
"Soon." Xue Shao smiled, "When our child is born, he will definitely be able to see his father at a glance." β
"That's good." Yue Nu gently snuggled into Xue Shao's arms and said in a low voice, "Childe, you treat me so well!" β
"It should." Xue Shao stroked her back and said, "I have a very important private matter to entrust to you." When you return to the capital, you are only allowed to tell Princess Taiping alone. Anyone, don't leak. β
"Childe just commands!"
Early the next morning, Xue Shao came to the school to order troops and prepared to set off north.
At the same time, Cheng Boxian and his Qianniu guards also set off for the capital with Wei Bei's coffin. Li Xianyuan and Yuenu went with him, and Xue Shao sent his most trusted and powerful five subordinates to Yuenu to take care of and protect them along the way.
When Xue Shao held a sacrificial ceremony, a ride like snow appeared on the mountain not far away.
Xuan Yunzi rode a snow-white horse in white clothes and white robes, wore a white gauze palace hat to cover his face, and quietly watched Shuofang's army of 10,000 people.
After a long distance, Xuan Yunzi naturally couldn't find Xue Shao's trace among tens of thousands of people. But she could hear the tsunami-like shouts and roars of these tens of thousands of hot-blooded and brave Tang men from a distance.
Surging and majestic, the momentum is amazing!
In Xuan Yunzi's opinion, this voice is Xue Shao's voice. His enthusiasm, his anger, his spirit and his will have been completely instilled in the hearts of tens of thousands of people, and then through their shouts and roars, they have spread to every corner of this heaven and earth, and even the grass and trees can know it!
Xuan Yunzi slowly closed his eyes and listened to the voice quietly.
She felt as if she was in direct conversation with Xue Shao's heart. So magical, wonderful.
As the army marched out, it disappeared like snow into the mountains.
A few days later, Xue Shao's army arrived at the Yinchuan Military Fort, where it was reinforced, and then continued north.
At the same time, it was an unusually busy scene on the Nuozhen Water Grassland.
Shena Si of the Tongluo Department and Yi Li Siba of the Bone Servant Department were hurriedly crossing the Yin Mountain with some of their clansmen. The two tribes moved a total of more than three or four thousand tents, a population of more than 10,000 people, and countless cattle and sheep. Xue Chuyu led the Jumping Army to protect and maintain order along the way, although it was busy, it was not messy.
Like this, it's the third day.
The tribesmen of the same tribe who migrated south with the servants actually accounted for less than one-third of their tribe's population. But it's not easy, who really wants to leave their homeland?
Even those who came were apprehensive and uneasy. Many people were forced to move south because the young pillars of their families were captured by the Tang army. They weren't sure what they were going to face next, and some even felt like they were going to be captives.
As a result, people's hearts are uncertain, and crises lurk everywhere.
Xue Chuyu's nerves have been very tight, for fear that something will go wrong. He even felt that this errand was more difficult and tricky than defeating an enemy ten times his size.
So, he couldn't help but miss Guo Yuanzhen a little.
"That guy must be better able to handle the troublesome situation than I am." Thinking of this, Xue Chuyu couldn't help but laugh secretly, "He always has a lot of ghost ideas." β
"Newspaperβ"
A scout shout that was close to an angry roar broke Xue Chuyu's contemplation.
"What?" Xue Chuyu personally stepped forward to receive the scout.
"General Jade Crown!" The scout was full of seriousness and nervousness, and said: "My subordinates have received an urgent order from the beacon fire, and a large number of Turkic enemy horsemen have been found in the east, and they are rushing towards our camp at full speed!" β
"Distance? Quantity?! β
"Can't be sure!" The scout hurriedly said, "Subordinates probe again!" β
"Go now, go back!"
Xue Chuyu waved his hand vigorously, and it flew up like a sharp arrow and jumped onto the war horse. The left and right parts will be easily carried, Xue Chuyu dropped it with one hand, and shouted angrily-
"Pass my general order and set up a formation to face the battle!!"
