Chapter 669: Majestic!

Xue Rengui's brows furrowed fiercely, "The young marshal is very worried!" The old man was so angry that he almost ignored this layer. If the enemy army uses the strategy of raising the tiger from the mountain to break through the Shuo Dynasty, the consequences will be really unimaginable! ”

"Old general, although the enemy may not come to attack Shuozhou, we have to guard against it." Xue Shao said, "It's better for me to lead my headquarters to Shuozhou to fortify in advance in case of a surprise attack by the enemy." ”

"What if the Turks don't come to attack Shuozhou?" Xue Rengui asked rhetorically.

"That's just right!" Xue Shao said, "The plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, they don't need me to use it!" When the old general started a war with the main Turkic force, I went out of Shuozhou to bypass the north to attack and kill Yunzhou, cutting off their way back! If it succeeds, it can form a situation with the old general to attack it back and forth, close the door and beat the dog -- wouldn't the odds of winning greatly increase? ”

"That's a great idea!" Xue Rengui exclaimed loudly, "The young marshal is really worthy of being a protégé of Gong Pei, a military commander of the war-seeking faction of Duke Wei, so calm, wise, and resourceful, it really makes the old man admire!" ”

"The old general has an overreputation." Xue Shao hurriedly said, "I have always been the best at talking on paper. If I really want to fight, I will definitely not be able to compare with the old general! ”

"Haha!" Xue Rengui laughed, "It's useless to say more!" -- This battle will be fought according to the strategy proposed by the young marshal! The old man personally raised 50,000 troops to Guliang Xiaoyi to fight, and the young marshal led the men and horses of his headquarters to Shuozhou to deploy defenses. Leave the men and horses to the dog Xue Ne to stick to Daizhou. So, can it be stopped? ”

"There are many enemy soldiers, why don't the old general bring more men?" Xue Shao said, "With me in front of Shuozhou, Daizhou can't use so many troops to defend." ”

Xue Rengui stroked the silver beard and smiled, "The old man is still not afraid of his Turkic army of 200,000 single-handedly, and now he has brought 50,000 robes to the battle, which is too much!" ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled. The heart said that "the soldiers are not more than the fine", probably for Xue Rengui. In order to create a life in his life, he created countless classic examples of winning more with less, when he went on an expedition to Goguryeo, he single-handedly disrupted the 10,000-strong array of Goguryeo in a white coat, and he was the "Three Arrows to Set the Heavenly Mountain" to break the Tiele army of more than 100,000 troops!

Real history, sometimes more exaggerated than fiction.

But about these deeds of Xue Rengui, it is really-true!

The next day, Shuofang's army set off first and headed for Shuozhou.

Xue Chuyu ignored the doctor's dissuasion and personally came to Yanmen Pass to see him off all the way.

The soldiers of the Shuofang Army were all overjoyed when they saw Xue Chuyu. Especially Zhang Renyuan and the knights of the Jumping Army, they were all jubilant and excited.

Xue Chuyu stood on the side of the road in civilian clothes and stretched out his hand, and the soldiers who passed by him clapped their hands with him one by one.

Xue Chuyu always had a warm and satisfied smile on his face, but his heart was full of loss and sadness that could not be dissolved.

Once, the scene in front of him was the most familiar to Xue Chuyu. Whenever he went out on a campaign, he always led the most elite jumping army at the forefront of the team.

He is the sharpest knife of the Shuofang army, and he is the totem of the god of war of the Shuofang army.

But now, he can only stand on the side of the road like an outsider, watching his good brothers go to the battlefield.

Xue Shao rode a horse and stopped beside Xue Chuyu, looked at him with each other, and each nodded and smiled.

"Brother, go back and rest." Xue Shao said, "When I return victoriously, I will get drunk with you for another 3,000 games!" ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" Xue Chuyu gritted his teeth tightly and nodded vigorously, trying to control his feelings.

Xue Shao nodded with a smile, "A word is a certainty!" ”

"Drumming and marching—" The drummer shouted loudly, and the rumbling of war drums rang out.

The passionate and majestic Tang Dynasty military drum sounded, and the rhythm was thick and vigorous, which made the soldiers who went out to fight fierce and enthusiastic.

Xue Chuyu suddenly walked up to a drummer, "Give me the drumstick!" ”

"General Jade Crown, how can such a thing be ...... by you?"

"Less, give it to me!!"

Xue Chuyu grabbed the drumstick without saying anything, and said loudly to Xue Shao and the others: "My brothers in Paoze, Chu Yu has beaten the drum for you!" ”

Xue Shao couldn't help but stop the horse, and many people stopped to watch.

Xue Chuyu held two big drumsticks, and his hands kept trembling, as if he couldn't lift them at all.

The drummer hurriedly whispered: "General Yuguan, let's come as a villain......

"Get out of here!"

Xue Chuyu gritted his teeth fiercely and walked in front of the big snare drum that was more than one person tall, and almost rose up with all his strength to swing his double mallets and hit the big drum!

"Bang bang" twice, and the drumstick in Xue Chuyu's hand was knocked away.

The continuous drum beat was disrupted by this chaotic beat, and the stunned stopped.

Everyone looked in the direction of Xue Chuyu.

Xue Chuyu looked blankly at his trembling hands, as if petrified.

The drummer hurriedly stepped forward and was about to pick up the double mallet and continue to beat, Xue Chuyu suddenly shouted, raised his hands to hold the rim of the big drum, turned his head and hissed: "My brothers in robe, you must triumph as soon as possible!" ”

"Bang-bang-bang!!"

The heavy drums sounded.

Xue Chuyu hit his head on the drum, and he actually hit the most majestic drum beat of the Tang Dynasty army - "Mighty"!

Xue Shao was stunned. All the knights of the Jumping Army were stunned.

"Triumph soon!!"

The drummers shouted in unison, and then beat the snare drum together!

The soldiers of the Shuofang Army waved their weapons with tears in their eyes and let out a thunderous roar.

"Majestic!"

"Majestic!!"

"Majestic !!"

……

After a rapid march all the way, Xue Shao's cavalry troops soon arrived in Shuozhou. Xue Ne, who stayed here to guard the city, personally went out of the city to greet him, and asked Xue Chuyu about his injuries as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xue Shao didn't know how to say it, so he simply said: "The old man asked me to change you back, and you immediately led your command to Daizhou." When you get there, you'll know. ”

When Xue Ne heard him say this, he knew that Xue Chuyu's situation was definitely not very good, so his brows were tightly knit and he was worried.

"Brother Shenyan, there is something I know I shouldn't inquire about. But if I don't figure it out, I'll be stuck in my throat forever. Xue Shao said, "I don't know if Brother Shenyan, can you give me a solution?" ”

Xue Ne sighed softly, "I probably know what the young marshal wants to inquire about - I settled the army when I was young, and the two of us will talk about it in private!" ”

"It's fine."

After the garrison army had handed over the defense and military affairs, Xue Ne invited Xue Shao to his private banquet. Xue Shao arrived as promised.

The banquet was very simple, just an ordinary military meal. Shuozhou has always been short of food and clothing, and it is not easy to have such hospitality.

"Brother Shenyan, I guess you also know what I want to inquire about." Xue Shao said, "I remember that day when I was in Chang'an, I went to your house to pay a visit. But occasionally bumped into ......"

Xue Ne nodded slightly, "That's right. After the fifth brother joined the army, his father either scolded or beat him every time he saw him, and regarded him as an enemy. ”

"What is the reason for this?" Xue Shao asked.

Xue Ne's brows were slightly furrowed, his face was bitter, he shook his head, and said, "Actually, among our five brothers, my father likes Chu Yu. Because he has been the smartest since he was a child, and his appearance and personality are most like his father. The most important thing is that he has shown a strong talent for martial arts since he was a child, just like his father did back then. ”

"Then what was the reason that Ling Zun changed his attitude towards Chu Yu later?" Xue Shao asked.

Xue Ne sighed lightly and said, "When Chu Yu was ten years old, his father was almost executed because of the defeat in the Battle of Dafeichuan, and finally ended up being exiled by a degraded official. At that time, all four of us brothers accompanied our father to the exiled land. Only Chu Yu was the youngest, and his father couldn't bear to let him suffer from exile, so he found a way to let him go to his hometown with his mother to settle down. ”

Xue Shao nodded, Xue Chuyu is the son of a concubine, and his mother is the concubine Xue Rengui married after becoming famous.

"In the next few years, because of the middle of the family, orphans and widows, Chu Yu and his mother suffered a lot." Xue Ne said, "But it was this adversity that cultivated his strong character and not admitting defeat." He practiced martial arts desperately, always thinking of becoming a great hero like his father, and was determined to break Tubo and kill the Garqin Mausoleum with his own hands, the shame of the defeat of his bloody father - the Garqin Mausoleum is the minister and commander under the Tubo alone, and the official worships the 'Great Commentary', also known as the Lunqin Mausoleum. My father's defeat in the battle of Dafeichuan was fought by Garqinling! ”

Xue Shao frowned and nodded, "What about later?" ”

"When Chu Yu was sixteen years old, his father had returned to Beijing because of an amnesty from the imperial court, and was awarded the rank of military general stationed in Silla." Xue Ne said, "Chu Yu rejoiced at his father's return, and he was proud to go to Silla with his father—he wanted to follow his father to fight in the army. But my father completely disagreed at the time, and he strongly opposed Chu Yu Congrong. In fact, since the Battle of Dafeichuan, my father forced our brothers not to practice martial arts or learn the art of war, so that we could study hard and win the imperial examination. I couldn't change because I was too old to learn martial arts since I was a child, so I had no choice but to become a military general, but the second, third and fourth children all listened to my father's words and became civil officials one after another. Only Chu Yu did not follow his father in those six years, so he practiced martial arts, learned the art of war and aspired to join Rong. ”

Xue Shao couldn't help but think of some of the words that Xue Rengui said to him at the gate of Yanmen that day, presumably because his mentality had changed after many years, and he didn't want his son to follow in his footsteps. Listening to what he said, all the hardships were from the bottom of his heart, but in fact, Xue Rengui was for Chu Yu's good!

"In order to prevent Chu Yu from being in Rong, his father and mother gave Chu Yu a family affair, and wanted to tie him to his home to study hard and run the family business." Xue Ne said, "Under the pressure of his parents, Chu Yu initially reluctantly agreed. But as soon as my father walked to Silla on the front foot, he fled from the house on the back foot and ran away to join the army! ”

"Huh?" Xue Shao couldn't help but be taken aback, and smiled bitterly, "I can't imagine that Chu Yu, who is so filial and gentle, has also had such a rebellious act!" ”

Xue Ne also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Our brothers tried their best to find him, it turned out that he went to the army privately under the 'Edict of Raising Warriors' issued by the imperial court, and he still used a fake name." I persuaded him to go home, but he imitated Huo Quai's words and said, "Why should the Huns be at home if they are not destroyed", so angry that I beat him in public. He did not fight back, but he insisted on joining the army. Later, his mother came to persuade him, but he just wouldn't listen. As a result, we had no choice but to let him go...... Later, he served in the army in Helong and Dafeichuan for three or four years, followed the battle with Tubo under the command of Heiya Changzhi, and made great achievements and played a great prestige, and then returned to the dynasty as an officer of the Royal Forest Army because of his merits, known as the 'Flying Riding Jade Crown'. But his mother had already been worried day and night because of Si'er's heart, and she couldn't afford to fall ill and died! ”

Xue Shao was stunned, "Is this the reason why Ling Zun is so angry?" ”

"Sort of...... Xue Ne sighed, "My mother, that is, my father's wife, passed away at an early age, and later remarried Chu Yu's mother, who is extremely gentle and virtuous, and is deeply loved by my father. The two elders respect each other like guests, and they have been a couple for many years. After her old man passed away, whenever her father saw Chu Yu, he either scolded or beat him angrily. The four of us brothers neither dared to help nor hinder them, at most they knelt next to Chu Yu and accompanied him to be beaten and scolded. ”

"I see, that's ......" Xue Shao sighed loudly, it was really a difficult scripture for every family to read. Unexpectedly, there was such a grudge between Xue Chuyu and his father.

Xue Ne also sighed, "Actually, my father is the most angry, it's not that he is angry with his mother." But he didn't listen to his father's teachings and insisted on following Rong. In fact, we all know that Chu Yu is still his father's favorite son. But my father is a man who leads soldiers, and how much he loves Chu Yu, how strict he is. This point, presumably the young marshal can understand. ”

Xue Shao nodded silently, just like the soldiers I trained at the beginning, the more important the soldiers I trained, the more ugly the scolding became, the purpose was to let them have more skills and live on the battlefield for a while.

No way, the military is such a urine. When it comes to life, sometimes it can't be changed at once!.
