Qingliuguan is not too far from Chuzhou City, in fact, that unprecedented and tragic battle, the shouts of the two armies have already reached the city.

At ten o'clock in the evening after the war, the governor of the city sent an envoy to check on the situation. Sun Yuan naturally followed Zhu Xuanshui's instructions and said that he was the vanguard of Lu Xiangxiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng has won many battles in the past year, and he has been the pillar of the Ming Dynasty's civil war, and his prestige is right.

As soon as the comers saw the corpse mountain and the sea of blood in Qingliuguan and the fierce soldiers under Sun Yuan, their faces changed greatly, and they hurriedly rode fast horses and galloped back to the city to report the victory.

In the evening, cheers suddenly rang out in the city of Chuzhou, and some people set off fireworks.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yuan smiled bitterly. As far as he knew, the Battle of Chuzhou had only just begun, and the next battle would be even more brutal. However, none of this seems to have anything to do with him.

After defeating Liu Zongmin's forward battalion, the Ningxiang army also paid more than 200 casualties, and the losses were not small. Now is the time to recuperate and replenish your strength. In any given era, it is impossible for an army to continue fighting after such a bloody battle. It's time to withdraw and replace it with other troops.

I remember that in the 80s of the 20 th century, when China fought a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the combat effectiveness of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) had declined sharply after 10 years of catastrophe. As a result, the early troops withdrew after completing the first phase of the battle, and let the brother troops go up.

As a result, in the next few years, the major military regions took turns to go into battle and retreated after a few battles; first, they trained their troops in actual combat, and second, the war of that year was too cruel, and if the troops stayed on the front line for a long time, their morale would inevitably be unstable.

A hundred battles of heroes, one is not afraid of hardship, the other is not afraid of death, continuous fighting can not lose morale, such troops only exist in computer games.

In the real world, no matter how powerful the army is, no matter how fierce the soldiers, after a bloody battle, they will see a lot of blood, and they will inevitably have war-weariness, and they will have to rest for a long time to recover

。

Therefore, Sun Yuan decided that he would not participate in the next Chuzhou War.

Anyway, if history does not change much, the Ming army will win this battle. Moreover, the credit for the defeat of the forward battalion of the peasant army was large enough. It's not cost-effective to put the icing on the cake and let yourself suffer losses.

Besides, with so many captives suddenly, it takes a lot of brains how to place them.

Sun Yuan's Ningxiang army was placed in a small town ten miles east of the city.

It is the Spring Festival, which is the most lively time of the year. Unfortunately, after the news of the peasant army's attack on Chuzhou came, the people in the town fled. The Ningxiang army also honestly and unceremoniously called all the houses to be stationed, waiting for the arrival of Lu Xiangsheng's army.

According to Sun Yuan's estimate, Lu Xiangsheng should still be in Nanjing at this moment, and he is mobilizing troops from all walks of life to come to help.

From Nanjing to Chuzhou, the straight-line distance is 90 kilometers, and if it is in the future, it will only take more than an hour by car. However, this is the Ming Dynasty, and it is all mountain roads from there, and the snow is heavy, so I went around a bend and went out for three hundred miles. It is not a simple matter for the army to move forward, and it will take five or six days to go anyway.

The town is not big, one vertical and one horizontal streets, and it is more than enough to live in a thousand Ningxiang troops. However, with 10,000 prisoners outside, the problem is serious.

There was no choice but to set up a prisoner camp and let them all live in rudimentary tents. Fortunately, it is the middle of winter, otherwise so many people would be crowded together and drowned all over the ground, and there would have been a plague outbreak.

So many people want to eat and wear, and after a few days, Sun Yuan will be overwhelmed. As for the supplies sent from Chuzhou City, there are not many of them, but they are just a drop in the bucket.

Sun Yuan now only needs Lu Xiangsheng to come to Chuzhou as soon as possible, and he can return to Ningxiang a day earlier.

"Ahh Sun Yuan woke up from the sudden attack in a cold sweat, stared out the window blankly, and realized that he had just had a nightmare, so he let out a long breath.

It's still pitch black outside, and I don't know how long it will be until dawn.

In the past few days, he has been dreaming every night, dreaming of the skyrocketing fire of Fengyang City, dreaming of the heads of the group of eunuchs rolling to the ground in Huangxing Temple, dreaming of the bloody battlefield of Qingliuguan, and the corpses that are floating with the cold water flowing all over the river...... The faces were blistered blue, but they were still staring at the big eyes, there was horror and unwillingness in their eyes, and maybe there was a trace of nostalgia for life

。

And the clear river has completely turned red, exuding a sky-high fishy smell.

Now that there is no way to continue sleeping, Sun Yuan got up and touched his lips with a wry smile, but found that he had grown a beard. He had just turned nineteen a few months, and he was still a young man, with only a layer of soft fluff. Now, however, the fluff has become thicker and stiffer, and it is a little prickly.

The candle was lit, and in front of the bronze mirror, an unfamiliar face appeared inside.

Compared with before coming to Chuzhou, his face in the mirror is much darker and thinner, his cheekbones are poked out, his face is beginning to become contoured, and his eyes are shining green in the dark.

The wind and snow swords of the multi-day long march have carved mature edges and corners on them, and the rapid passage of youth has replaced them with the appearance of a mature man.

Although the nightmare just now was terrifying, there was no horror in these eyes, on the contrary, it was cold and firm.

From Fengyang to the present, all the way to the killing, there is a lot of blood, a lot of people have died, the battle has been fought cruelly, and the heart has changed.

It is now the ninth year of Chongzhen, and in the next ten years, war will become the norm in this era, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and the more ferocious Manchu Eight Banners, you can't escape, and you can't hide.

Whether it is Zhang, Li, or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the war together, the lives of the people will be ruined, and the whole of China will be shrouded in this unprecedented catastrophe. The land was barren, cities were destroyed, and the population was halved.

According to a record that Sun Yuan saw, because Jintang County in Sichuan Province was a tug-of-war area where Zhang Xianzhong and the Qing soldiers went back and forth, the people died, and there were only two families left in the county in the early years of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty.

The end of the world, that's probably it!

As a native of Yangzhou, in the future ten days of Yangzhou, Sun Yuan can't hide, and he can't hide.

Use dry relatives to help the world.

Cao Cao said this well during the Three Kingdoms, in the troubled times, no one can escape the war. The only thing that can be done is to take up arms and defend what is worth guarding, defending what is worth defending.

This is also why Sun Yuan chose to join the army in the first place, instead of going to study and take the imperial examination, which seems to be a brighter path

。

Touching the knife on his waist, Sun Yuan suddenly felt a sense of stability in his heart.

The knife is the most reliable force in this world.

Striding out of the house, the snow was still flying. I heard a faint commotion in the distance, and people neighed and screamed, so it was not lively.

Sun Yuan felt strange in his heart, and glanced back at the guards at the door.

One of the guards hurriedly said: "General, there is a livestock shed on a mile of land over there, and our army has captured many mules and horses?" Fei Qianhu and Boss Guan were like treasures, and they picked dozens of hands and feet from the captives and raised them carefully. Now is about the time to feed the mules and horses for the night. ”

"Ma Wuye grass is not fertile, but this is the truth, it's okay, go over and take a look." Sun Yuan smiled and waved his hand to tell the guards not to follow him.

Indeed, this year the big animal is a treasure. Not to mention that each of the military horses used by the cavalry troops is very valuable, and with horses in hand, forming a scout army can expand the search circle and not become deaf and blind when you go to the battlefield. Even other mules and donkeys were important means of transportation. This is Jiangnan, which is convenient for shipping, and the mule-horse troops may not show their importance. But if the troops go to the north, you can hardly do anything without these big animals.

After walking for a while, they came to the barn. But I saw that the lights were brightly lit inside, and more than a dozen horsemen were sweating and carrying horse feed to feed the livestock.

And a woman was turning her back to Sun Yuan and loudly reprimanding a groom: "What kind of horse are you feeding, do you understand it?" This feeds the war horses, and they have to add a layer of grass to a layer of material. In this way, the horses are fragrant when they eat. You pour it in haphazardly, and the horses are at first trying to eat good food, but leave the grass last. Sprayed by the horse's snorting heat, the ingredients wilted and lost their brittleness. The horse chews a few bites, and if it can't chew, it won't move its mouth again. In this way, the war horse will lose fat if it is not full. ”

The person who spoke was Zhu Ting, and she was already angry at the moment: "Also, how did you slip this horse?" ”

The horseman didn't know Zhu Ting's identity, and when he saw that she was wearing a short cotton armor and carrying an embroidered spring knife at her waist, he thought she was a big man in the Ningxiang army, and his face turned pale in shock, and he begged repeatedly: "Grandma spare your life, aunt and grandmother spare your life, the little ones will drag these war horses out every day, and they follow the method of training horses in the nine-sided border army, but they don't know what they did wrong?" ”

It turned out that this captive was also a border army in Datong Town, Shanxi, and when the army entered Shanxi, he surrendered to Gao Yingxiang, and now he is a prisoner of Sun Yuan

。

Zhu Ting sneered: "What a bold man, you dare to talk back." What kind of virtue is the cavalry of the Nine-sided Border Army, don't let me not know. I went to see it with my father back then, and when it comes to serving war horses, Guan Ning still has some appearance, and you can't do it. I've seen these **** horses too. This horse is not cherished by your thief army, and is used to pull the cart. So much so that the war horse developed the bad habit of burying his head forward. Every time you walk on a horse, you have to pull its head up. In this way, when they go to the battlefield, the war horse knows where to rush, and also knows to obey the orders of the master. Otherwise, the straight flute pounces forward, isn't this harmful? ”

The groom was stunned and scratched his head: "It seems to make some sense." ”

Sun Yuan was very amused to hear this, after getting so many mules and horses, these days he is always thinking about forming a scout cavalry. It's a pity that he only played in a riding club for a few days in his previous life, and basically he can only ride a horse without falling to the ground. As for Fei Hong and the others, they were all musketeers and did not know how to ride, so the matter was delayed.

At this moment, when I heard Zhu Ting talking to the groom, I couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect Miss Zhu to be a big expert." ”

"Nonsense, I was raised by my father as a son since I was a child, and when it comes to riding, even if it is a good player in Guan Ningjun, it is not much better than me." Zhu Ting turned his head impatiently and found that it was Sun Yuan. remembered that during the bloody battle that day, he was tightly held in his arms by this thief, and ...... When he was wounded, his chest was completely seen by others.

Even if she is a middle-aged husband again, she still blushes and stutters: "It was you who turned out to be ...... You, you, you, you eavesdrop on me......"

Seeing this heroic woman making a shy appearance in front of him, Sun Yuan was happy in his heart and smiled: "Whoever doesn't want to, just come and see the girl." Then, his eyes subconsciously fell on her chest: "The girl's injury is better?" ”

"Little thief, who told you to come and see me?" Zhu Ting glared at Sun Yuan, and raised his right hand angrily towards Sun Yuan: "What are you looking at, where are you looking?" ”

But she already had an injury in her shoulder, and this stretch of hand couldn't help but cry out "ah" when she pulled the injury.

Sun Yuan grabbed her right hand, and suddenly had a narrow thought in his heart, and took her into his arms, and laughed in a low voice: "I've seen it all, what else can I do?" The girl has a big heart, which General Ben admires. ”

He deliberately bit the word bosom very hard, and there was no intention of teasing

。

The battle of Qingliuguan was too dangerous and cruel, until now, Sun Yuan's nerves are still tense, and he urgently needs to vent at this moment, and he is also mentally prepared to be slapped by this female man.

This time Wen Xiangnuan Yu is in her arms, although this woman can't talk about the word Xiangyu.

However, the expected loud slap did not appear.

In her arms, the woman's body stiffened, and she stretched out her hand to push Sun Yuan away. But he stretched out his hand, but he did not find that he had to touch the body of this abominable thief no matter what.

For a while, I didn't know what to do.

"In the battle of Qingliu Pass, General Ben has already hugged Miss, and today, it is as if the battle has not yet been over. Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said, holding the hand of the son, hehe. ”

Listening to Sun Yuan mention the battle a few days ago, Zhu Ting's stiff body softened. In that bloody battle, there was a back and forth in the field of life and death, and it was a lie to say that there was no affection.

Sun Yuan saw that Zhu Ting in his arms was full of peach, his eyes were like silk, and on the swaying firelight, his heroic face actually had an indescribable moving charm.

She even closed her eyes, but her long eyelashes trembled with some panic, as if waiting for the abominable thief to do further evil.

Sun already had a hint of mischief in his heart, but he didn't want Zhu Ting to shrink into his own badness like this, and his heart was beating wildly.

For a while, I froze, my heart was sweet, but I didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the horseman lowered his head in horror and desperately loaded the war horse with fine food, and did not dare to look at it again.

The scenery is beautiful, and even the cold wind that is whistling by seems to be getting warmer.

Suddenly, a figure strode over: "General! ”

Someone interrupted the good thing, Sun Yuan was furious, and was about to scold him, but when he looked up, it was Fei Hong.

Fei Hong's face was excited: "General, Zhu Qianhu has a letter that the imperial court has arrived in Lai'an County, which is thirty miles away from Chuzhou. Inspector Lu has also arrived, so let you go over and speak. ”
