"Will it snow tonight?" Tao Yaoyao tilted her head and faced the night sky as black as ink.

For several days, the sky was gloomy and tight, like a person's face, as if it was about to drip water, which made the Youzhou army, who had only experienced a few heavy snowfalls, couldn't help but worry about the weather going down.

The night in the wild is as deep as the sea, unfathomable, the mountains are like ghosts, and the treetops in the night are like the minions of powerful ghosts, which always seem to be dancing their teeth and claws, to choose people to eat. The silence was abnormal, there was no half-minute noise, the needle drop could be heard, and the noisy footsteps were particularly abrupt. The march has reached the scale of more than 10,000 people, and the so-called horses and mouths are just better than nothing.

The army came to a halt in the wilderness, and the various divisions kept their marching formations resting, and only at this moment did man and nature truly become one, which gave the illusion that man and the wilderness were breathing in unison.

Diving up the hill, Li Congjing, Tao Yaoyao and others looked at the terrain ahead, which was only about thirty or forty miles away from the destination of the army's attack. After Tao Yaoyao finished saying that, the black clouds in the night sky began to dissipate slowly, and the stars on the shore of the bright moon gradually revealed their faces, as if the veil of Jiao Niang was lifted inch by inch, revealing the appearance inside.

Li Congjing smiled and said, "It seems that tonight will be a good weather." ”

The army was fighting, and Mo Li, Wang Pu and others stayed in Xijing to sit in the rear, and the only intimate personnel accompanying them were the guards and the military intelligence department. In the past, every time like this, there were always gentlemen who were at their disposal, but now that the gentlemen are not by their side, they all feel that something is missing.

"In order to avoid discovering the whereabouts of the Khitan scouts, we have not contacted Zhengzhou and the Tongshui Valley all the way, if Zhengzhou has been lost at this time, or the Tongshui Valley has been defeated, and the Khitan army has returned to help, our actions tonight will become a joke." Qinghui sprinkled on Tao Yao's long straight hair, outlining a clear outline of her dusty face, the mountain breeze was slightly cold, and the curled ends of her hair were very freehand.

Li Congjing said casually: "It's only three or two days, how can there be so many changes." Besides, when the army goes to the battlefield, it is no different from the gambler on the gambling table, no matter how good your skills are, it is impossible to grasp all the changing factors, at this time, you must have the courage to let go. ”

To Li Congjing's surprise, his words did not make Tao Yaoyao full of confidence, she lowered her eyebrows, "Really?" ”

Looking curiously at the mature side face of Tao, Li Congjing teased: "When did the master of Tao become so unconfident? ”

brushing the silk hair on her ears and temples, Tao Xiaoxiao smiled casually, and handed Li Congjing a letter, her voice was ethereal, "The letter from Youzhou has been hesitant to wait until after the war to give it to you, so as not to distract you, since you are so confident, there is no need to hide it from you." ”

Looking at the letter, the inexplicable look on Li Congjing's face was completely replaced by an indescribable emotion, and the content of the letter was so hard that Li Congjing, who was more and more heartbroken, was stunned for a long time.

"Congratulations." Tao Yaoyao's faint voice does not distinguish between joy and sorrow.

After a long sound, Li Congjing put away the letter, put it close to him, and stood on the hill without saying a word, and was silent for a long time.

The letter was written by Ren Wanru, and the content caught Li Congjing off guard: she had been diagnosed and pregnant the day before yesterday.

Counting the days, that is exactly the reason that Li Congjing planted before he set out on the expedition.

Prior to this, Li Congjing was 100% sure that he had fully integrated into this era, and the world in front of him was real, he was Li Congjing, the son of Li Siyuan, Ren Wanru's husband, the commander of the Hundred Battles Army, and the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and was ready to change the world. The memory of a thousand years later has become nothing, can no longer be touched, and cannot be spoken, and is destined not to be mentioned again, but can only dissipate with the years and become something outside of time and space, including his own parents in that life, and the long-haired woman in the white shirt and jeans.

However, when the word "Youhou" fell on him so really, the shock in Li Congjing's heart surprised him.

Seeing that Li Congjing didn't speak for a long time, Tao Yaoyao showed a real smile, and a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes, "How, General Li, can you still command the next battle?" ”

Tao Yaoyao's close voice pulled Li Congjing back from his distraction, the world in front of him was so clear that he couldn't dodge, he took a deep breath, and didn't know what to say.

Fang Qing's face was as simple as before, and at this moment, it was covered with a layer of unspeakable mist, and Tao Yaoyao became serious, "I will tell you this news at this time to let you know that you are a person who is about to become a father, and when you rush back and forth in the battle formation in the future, you can't be like before, every time it is as if the end has come, without any scruples." You have to know how to protect yourself."

When it came to the general word, Tao Yaoyao's voice gradually lowered, and her eyes also lowered, and the color flowing at the bottom of her eyes also covered her up.

The wilderness is silent, the cold wind is still ongoing, and the environment is telling you that nothing has changed. Li Congjing was no longer silent, he still said decisively: "This can't be counted in one place. A conquest is a conquest, and it cannot be discounted. Seeing what Tao Xiaoyao wanted to say, Li Congjing didn't give her a chance to interject, and her voice was a little louder, "Tonight's battle is very important, and it is indeed full of crises, attacking the Yelu Abaoji camp, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe, but if you succeed, you can completely reverse the tide of the war, not to mention capturing Yelu Abaoji alive, the worst can also make the Khitan army's main force lose more than half, and in one fell swoop will knock out the Khitan army's room for active attack, so that the Bohai battlefield will be easy to attack and defend!" As the commander-in-chief, on the battlefield, there is only the battle situation, only the road ahead, and no body. ”

Tao Yaoyao was stunned by Li Congjing's arrogant words, and her lazy eyebrows and eyes were suddenly filled with anger, turned around and walked down the hill, and scolded: "Idiot! ”

was scolded for no reason, and Li Congjing was also stunned, and became more and more unclear.

Wang Pu coughed twice, and when Li Congjing turned his head to look at him, he asked tentatively: "Military commander, do you really not know what Tao Commander means?" ”

Li Congjing's mind is now full of the next battle, where do he still have the heart to think about it and others, and when he heard this, he glared and said, "If there is a fart, let it go!" ”

Wang Pu saw that the person who was scolded became himself in the blink of an eye, but no one on his side asked him to scold, so he had no choice but to accept his fate. sighed and was about to speak, but Li Congjing had already waved his hand, "You don't need to say it." ”

Wang Pu looked at Li Congjing blankly, but saw that Li Congjing had no intention of continuing the topic, and looked into the distance with his hands, and returned to his tall and majestic position, just like every time he commanded the battle on the spot.

Running in the dark, there are no torches, ordinary people can hardly imagine how they see the road at night, to the front of the hill, the knights dismounted and rushed up, they were the scouts who went to explore the battle situation in Zhengzhou first, and at this time reported to Li Congjing a very urgent military situation, "The Zhengzhou defenders went out of the city to attack the Khitan camp at night!" ”

Li Congjing's face was slightly gloomy, he didn't expect Daming Xing to make such a dangerous move, if he was not careful, let Yelu Abaoji eat it, then the battle situation in Zhengzhou City would develop towards a situation that was difficult to control, the matter had come to this, Li Congjing didn't talk nonsense, and asked the most important question: "How is the battle going?" ”

"The Khitan battalion is not in any panic, it is dispatching troops, and it seems that there is a tendency to bite back!" The scout was succinct, time was short, his vision was not good, and he couldn't see much.

Li Congjing quickly calculated in his heart, and soon thought that although Da Ming Xing's trip was a bit rash, it could attract the attention and strength of the Khitan army for the army's attack tonight, and the problem was that before the army arrived, Da Ming Xing could not be eaten by the Khitan.

The war in the Tongshui Valley was tight, but Li Congjing did not go to support Li Shaocheng and Meng Ping, but led the reinforcements to attack the Khitan camp outside the city of Zhengzhou. If this is won, the situation will be completely reversed, the attack and defense will be easy, if defeated, Li Congjing can only lead the Youzhou army to withdraw from the Bohai Sea.

It is not that Li Congjing wants to make a desperate bet, but that there is a huge disparity between the enemy and our forces, and such an action is a rare opportunity to win. Moreover, after careful deduction, the General Staff Office of this operation has a real chance of victory.

As Li Congjing said, it is difficult to encounter something in this world that you can be sure of, especially in military battles, if you have more than half of the chance of winning, it is worth fighting. If not, wouldn't this world be a frontier success?

Walking down the hill, Li Congjing turned over and got on his horse. Suddenly, the military order was issued to the three armies that had rested enough: to attack the Khitan camp in Zhengzhou!

Youzhou, the residence of the Jiedu Envoy.

On a three-story pavilion, Ren Wanru, accompanied by several maids, looked north by the railing. In the dark night, the north was only pitch black, and nothing could be seen, even if it was daylight, but the line of sight was a little farther away, and it was still thousands of miles away from the place where she was going to look.

Yet some gaze, not in the target, but in the direction; It has nothing to do with the person being watched, only the watcher.

Putting her hand on her slightly bulging lower abdomen, Ren Wanru smiled calmly, she was already a graceful and light character, and her smile at this time made him more like a hibiscus out of water.

Her eyes were far away, but her voice was very close, and she whispered: "You came to this world, you will accompany your father's outstanding exploits, you are destined to be extraordinary, because your father is so great!" ”

The cold wind blows, hard as a knife, Li Congjing, who gallops and rises with the war horse, his eyes are as calm as usual, at this moment, the battlefield he wants to go to, on the danger, on the difficulty, are the most encountered in the battle in this life, and correspondingly, its scene and impact are also the best in the past and present.

When Tao Yaoyao left the hill, he knew the reason for Tao Yaoyao's emotions several times today, he was a thoughtful character, extremely sensitive to the perception of the outside world, and was reminded by Wang Pu, he naturally knew why Tao Yaoyao looked gloomy in the face of that letter, even if he persuaded himself to cherish it on the battlefield, he had to borrow the name of others.

However, for Li Congjing, he has long had a reason to fight for himself in the decisive victory on the battlefield and the sudden separation of life and death.

From the time when it was decided not to die with the Khitan, this reason had the same weight as the weight of life and death.

Now, all he can think about is not the love of his children or the warmth of his wife, only the victory or defeat of this war

The leader rushed out of the wilderness, and the Khitan camp that was lit up like a sea of stars was right in front of him.

Hold the lance tightly, after a few years, Li Congjing today is no different from when he chased Zhang Lang in the chaotic army.

"Onward!" He shouted on horseback.
