On this seemingly ordinary night, there are destined to be many people who can't sleep.

In the camp of the Han army in Ertegon, only forty or fifty steps away from the marshal's tent was the location of the guard division.

The military system of the Han army, the marshal's camp can actually be counted as a downsized corps. There are baggage divisions, guard divisions, and personal guard divisions around him. There were no less than 20,000 soldiers and horses. However, these soldiers and horses are the direct army of the marshal, and they will not easily go to the front.

The Guard Division was the closest formation to the marshal's tent, and most of the tents were out for rest. Only in a small tent in the southernmost corner, four people were still whispering with a small fire.

If Shen Yun arrived, he would definitely be able to call out their names one by one. That is Bai Xiaosheng, Shi Qian, Zhang Ji, and Ouyang Fu.

I only heard the thief say with his eyebrows in his eyes: "Bai Xiaosheng, is your words about Gong Shuai reliable?" ”

Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes at Shi Qian: "You ask me, who do I ask?" However, tomorrow's general attack in the south is a major event for military aircraft, and the palace marshal should not dare to fake the marshal's military order. ”

When Zhang Ji heard this, he immediately rubbed his hands excitedly, and said in his mouth: "That's good." Hou Ye is in danger, we have the ability but we don't want to save it, if we let Hou Lao Da and Shi Laosan know, we must light the sky lantern. ”

Ouyang Fu stared at the peach blossom eyes and said: "Lighting the sky lantern is a trick played by people in the rivers and lakes, we are now serious court soldiers and horses, the Han Yulin!" They dared to light our sky lanterns, and Lao Tzu sent troops to suppress his Haisha Gang...... Ouch, fleas, you dare to throw me? ”

"What's wrong with you?" Shi Qian shouted at the top of his voice: "Your grandmother has a mouth, and she doesn't recognize Master Hou when she puts on this military uniform?" If it weren't for the first marquis to protect you, your corpse would have turned into white bones, and you would still have your face shouting here! ”

Ouyang Fu was angry, jumped up and said, "Which king and eight lambs said that I don't recognize the Hou Ye?" Hou Ye is in trouble, isn't Lao Tzu the first to come to tell you? Drum fleas. I know that you lost to me in the last competition and were not convinced, come on, come on, do you want to do it again? ”

"Come on, come on, last time because I stole the steamed buns of the Huotou Army, I just had diarrhea, otherwise you can win me?!" The anger of Shi Qian was also ignited, and he tore open his shirt, revealing his thin and fleshless breasts, and there was a loud bang.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng slapped the table and shouted, "Enough." This is a barracks, and if there is a noise in the middle of the night, if it causes a roar in the camp, which of you can afford to take this responsibility? If you want to die, you can wait until you save Hou Ye and then die! ”

Ouyang Fu and Shi Qian suddenly stopped making noise, but they both snorted at each other with disdain. Turn your head and don't gnaw. Zhang Ji smiled honestly and rubbed his rough palms. I don't know what to say to lighten the current atmosphere.

In this army. Ouyang Fu has a good face, he has been a flower thief, and his skills are naturally not weak, and he is clever and ingenious, and he is very good at camping. Therefore, in the military ranks, it is much higher and more outdated. As for the passage of time, in fact, being a man is not bad. It's just that this petty theft is hard to change, and I often can't help but "handy" to get something. This has come and gone, and there have been many mistakes, and I can't get promoted even if I want to be promoted in the military.

Before the expedition. Ouyang Fu was already a senior colonel, but Shi Qian was still an ordinary captain. After the expedition, Gong Si served as the commander of the guard division, rearranged them, and formed the Tiger Ben Guard, that is, the ancient special forces. Specially responsible for the close protection of Marshal Hu Gong.

This is the beauty difference of all soldiers to break their heads, for the sake of fairness, Gong Si also adopted a martial arts competition system, and the top 30 can become tigers. In the last competition, Ouyang Fu narrowly defeated Shi Qian and took the position of Hu Ben's team leader this time, but Shi Qian was not convinced, so the two had this quarrel.

Bai Xiaosheng is powerful because of his flexible brain, not his high skills, so he has always been in charge of logistics, and he didn't choose Tiger Ben at all. A few people camped in the marshal camp of tens of thousands of people, but in fact, they rarely met. If it weren't for the news that the Marquis of Bohai was besieged by Feiyun Castle this time, they wouldn't have been able to get together.

Bai Xiaosheng saw that they were no longer arguing, so he softened his tone and said: "We all came out of Milan Farm, when we work together, Hou Ye is even more in danger, don't you think about how to talk to the marshal tomorrow, so that you can go to the front line, but make noise here, is it meaningful?" ”

Ouyang Fu and Shi Qian both blushed, but they didn't fight each other again.

Ouyang replied: "Haha, Bai Xiaosheng, don't think about it, I often quarrel with Brother Shi Qian, and the relationship is still very good." Just tell me clearly, how should you tell the marshal about it tomorrow? ”

Shi Qian also nodded: "Yes, we have a good relationship, he also ate two pieces of bacon from me just now......

"One piece!" Ouyang Fu corrected.

Shi Qian glared: "Two pieces!" I just took five pieces from the Huotou Army last night, and I just ate one, and now there are two pieces left, and the other two pieces are not what you eat? ”

Ouyang Fu stretched his neck and said, "I told you that it wasn't me, I just ate a piece!" ”

"You turtle grandson, do you want to repay the debt or what?!" Time is not happy.

Bai Xiaosheng saw that the two of them were arguing again, covered his forehead and groaned: "Oh my God, a piece of bacon, as for ......"

Next to him, Zhang Ji scratched his head embarrassedly: "Uh, two, that piece seems to have been eaten by me......"

Shi Qian and Ouyang Fu: "......"

At this time, the curtain door of the tent was lifted, and a person walked in, and said, "Yo, how many are you busy?" What kind of bacon, can you take it out and give it to Ben Shuai to eat? ”

As soon as the four of them saw someone coming, they immediately stood up nervously, and saluted at the same time: "I've seen the master!" ”

This person is none other than the guard division commander Gong Si.

Gong Si sat on the main seat in the middle of the tent with a smile, waved his hand and said: "Sit and sit, we were all people from the rivers and lakes before, so we don't treat those politenesses as well, we are all casual." ”

Although Gong Si said so, Bai Xiaosheng and the other four still didn't dare to be casual. Especially Shi Qian and Ouyang Fu, when they saw Gong Si, it was as if they had seen something, dodging and dodging their eyes, and they had as much weakness as they wanted.

It is not like this for Shi Qian and Ouyang Fu, Gong Si is their direct boss This is second, the key is that Shi Qian and Ouyang Fu, who are people in the rivers and lakes, know the mysterious Gong family, this family that will always rank first in the martial arts spectrum of the rivers and lakes is really a taboo that all people in the rivers and lakes dare not touch.

Especially in the selection of Hu Ben, Shi Qian and Ouyang Fu both learned the skills of this palace marshal. I don't have to say, anyway, Shi Qian can't beat him, and he may be able to run, but it also depends on whether Gong Si has the heart to chase him, if he is determined to chase him. Even if Shi Qian can get some cheap at the beginning, he will still have to be caught in the end......

Seeing that they were still restrained, Gong Si didn't care. The four people in front of him are said to be soldiers of the Han Empire, but they are still Jianghu people in their bones, since they are Jianghu people, it is impossible for them to get up at will when facing the Gong family - just like the Gong family must be very respectful when they see the royal people!

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are two reasons why I came here so late, the first is that I received a report from the Judge Advocate General's Office. Say that there are still people gathering here in the middle of the night, and they are making a lot of noise......" Gong Si said lightly.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others suddenly turned white, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Master Shuai, subordinates know their mistakes!" ”

Gong Si waved his hand: "Hehe." When this battle is over, the Judge Advocate Advocate General's Office will look for you. Ben Shuai is just responsible for telling you first. That's the second thing. It was Ben Shuai who decided, tomorrow the four of you will go to the Flying Cavalry Guard to report, and then follow the Flying Cavalry Guard's former division, the First Town, and the Third Brigade to Feiyun Castle first! ”

Bai Xiaosheng's face was happy, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Gong Si and said: "Don't be busy being happy, Ben Shuai will say ugly things first." The four of you go to Feiyun Castle first, and you must guarantee the safety of the two of you. The first one, of course, is Shen Yun, the Marquis of Bohai, who you will never forget, and the second is Liu Zhen, the commander of the First Brigade of the First Town of the Flying Cavalry Guard Division. Especially this Liu Lvshuai, if he dies. Hehe, don't think that your family is safe with the Marquis of Bohai to protect you......"

Gong Si's eyes became very sharp at this moment, and it was cold, and that coldness was almost embedded in the bone marrow of Bai Xiaosheng and the four of them......

"Wow. Subordinates obey military orders! The four of them answered in unison.

……

On the second day, the genius was polished, and Bai Xiaosheng and the four of them immediately rode their horses to the flying cavalry guard, which was five miles away. After converging the 3rd Brigade, he did not stop for a moment, and immediately marched towards Feiyun Castle.

At this time, the entire Ortegan seemed to wake up, and a steady stream of soldiers marched towards Feiyun Castle from all directions. The red tassels on the helmets of the Han army covered the entire Gobi like an ocean, like waves of waves, surging in one direction at the same time!

"Bai Xiaosheng, you are well-informed, tell our brothers, who is that Liu Zhen? Why does the palace marshal want us to protect him? Even more important than Bohai Hou? During the march, the horses were galloping, and Zhang Ji felt bored and whispered to Bai Xiaosheng next to him.

However, Bai Xiaosheng, Shi Qian, and Ouyang Fu have been preoccupied since Gong Si said those words yesterday.

Glancing at this brother who seemed to have less strings in his head, Bai Xiaosheng felt envious from the bottom of his heart - it seems that it is not a bad thing for people to be stupid, at least they will not be frightened by certain things.

Ouyang Fu was quick-mouthed, and sighed: "Lao Zhang, who can be more valued by the palace family than the Marquis of Bohai, who else do you say?" He pointed up as he spoke.

Zhang Ji just can't turn his brain, and he's not really stupid. Looking up at the sky, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and muttered, "Ah, yes, it's the Heavenly Family...... Oh my God, is the rumor true? ”

"What rumors?" Bai Xiaosheng asked weakly.

Zhang Ji stammered: "I, I heard those veterans say in the baggage division, it seems that the only prince in the world is serving in the flying cavalry guard, is it possible that Liu Zhen ......."

Shi Qian floated to Zhang Ji like a swallow, immediately covered his mouth, and whispered in his ear: "Silence! Something has to rot in the stomach! ”

Zhang Ji nodded hurriedly.

Shi Qian floated back to his horse, and said quietly: "Alas, when is this battle a head?!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

June 19, 1003. The news of the Han army's large-scale general offensive was soon known to Rovinis.

"Your Excellency, the Fifth Army of the Han Army suddenly launched a fierce attack on Chagan County of our army, and the First Army seems to be a little struggling."

"Your Excellency, the Han Army's flying cavalry guards are rapidly assembling and rushing towards Feiyun Castle. All the troops are adhering to your military orders, and the fastest flying cavalry will arrive at Feiyun Castle this afternoon......"

"Your Excellency......"

A series of news made Rovinis's originally calm face suddenly distort into a twisted shape.

"Damn, how can this be? What does the Han army want to do? They only have 100,000 people, but we have hundreds of thousands of people in this line of defense, are they crazy? Before Rovinis could speak, Congnes next to him was the first to get angry, and the wine glass in his hand shook hard, which immediately made a mess of the sand table.

Rovinis's face was also extremely ugly, and his original drinking posture was now a little out of shape. But Gipulus? The glory of the Rovinis family. Let him stabilize his mind at this moment, drink the last sip of red wine, and then don't look at the sand table, but ask the staff officer of the Yue clan beside him: "Excuse me, when will the Sixth Legion of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Yue Clan arrive?" ”

Seeing Congnes's appearance, the staff officer of the Nayue clan was immediately a little nervous, but he still said smoothly: "Well, I received a letter from His Royal Highness the Prince in the early hours of this morning, the Sixth and Ninth Legions were attacked from both sides by the Flying Cavalry Guard and Feiyun Castle, and they were ready to temporarily retreat to the Jinshan Forest to rest and recuperate......

"What?"

Congenez was furious. grabbed the wine bottle and wanted to smash it at the staff officer, but the staff officer hurriedly hugged his head and ran away, shouting in his mouth: "It's none of my business, Your Excellency don't ......" The aftermath lingered, and the person had already left.

The other staff officers saw this. They all wanted to leave, but Rovinis immediately said, "Wait." Pass on my military orders. With the exception of the 6th and 9th Army Corps. Any other troops that could receive orders quickly advanced towards the area around Lake Dele and Lake Har. Also, inform General Slivenson that he should come to me as soon as possible, and that I have something to do with him. ”

The staff officers looked at each other and did not give any constructive advice. In the end, he was ordered to leave.

Congenes still said angrily: "Your Excellency Rovinis, what are you doing here?" Isn't it the whole army to the south? ”

Rovinis took another sip of wine, calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness." As soon as Slivenson comes, I will have him gather my guards, and you will immediately follow them through the Orkhon Valley to Hala Horin. Then wait for the opportunity to go north along the Orkhon River, and return to Rome by Kusugul. ”

"What?" Congenes was puzzled, "What are you doing here?" Why should I go back to Rome? And to go that far? ”

Rovinis smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Highness, Augustus has put you next to me to learn military affairs, I have already taught everything I should teach, and now I will teach you the last course, which is called 'judging the situation'!" ”

Seeing that Conganes hadn't reacted yet, Rovinis said: "Haven't Your Highness seen that although we have a million troops, we have lost our attack power after the Han army occupied Ertegan and the main force of the Sixth and Ninth Legions stopped at Feiyun Castle?!" ”

"So what?" Congenez looked dazed.

Rovinis wanted to strangle the blond young man in front of him, and he really didn't know whether it was right or wrong to choose him as his disciple among so many adopted sons of Augustus.

He had to patiently explain: "Your Highness, the most important thing in war is offensive. If you don't have the offensive nature of a war, but only know how to defend, then one day you will be defeated. Although we have a million troops, we are fighting on the land of the Han people, once we lose our aggression, we are like a tiger without claws, although the size is very bluffing, but it cannot scare the real hunters! It's a pity that Hu Gong, the current commander of the Han army, is that very shrewd hunter! ”

Speaking of this, Roviniston paused and said, "What's more, our Yue Clan's allies haven't fully shared their information with us, haven't you noticed that His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Yue Clan is already preparing to be a deserter?" Is it a coincidence that the day before the Han army launched a general attack, he was ready to retreat to the Jinshan Forest? Hehe, Your Highness, remember what I said before, war is actually just a work of data collection, analysis, and statistics. We have suffered a big loss in this regard, and there is no suspense in the next battle! ”

Congnes finally understood, his blue eyes widened in surprise, and said, "What, Your Excellency, do you mean that we lost this war?" ”

"No, we didn't lose! It's the Yueshi who lose! Rovinis said, "They lost to the Han people, and even more to themselves!" It's not a pity that the Yue people died, but Your Highness, you must return to Rome alive. Fortunately, this time the governor of Mano gave me 3,000 guards, and it is summer again, and the road is not difficult to walk, and they will protect you well to reach the territory of the Huns, and then you will return to Rome from the Rus' plain. ”

"But ......"

Congnes wanted to say something, but Rovinis interrupted: "There is nothing to do, fortunately there are still a million Yue people to cover for you, I will order them to march north-hehe, if I expected it to be good, the city of Kobdor should have been occupied by the Han army, it will be a fierce battle!" In this war, that's all I can do to buy as much time as possible for your retreat! ”

Congenes lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and said after a while: "Your Excellency Rovinis, I understand what you mean. However, I still don't understand, how can the Yueshi people lose? Also, I strongly recommend that you come with me. If you are captured by the Han Chinese, Governor Mano will not spend money to ransom you! ”

Rovinis smiled faintly: "Your Highness, rest assured, although the Yue people have lost this war, it will take a long time for the Han people to end this war, and I will safely withdraw to Dihua." I think it should be cheaper to ransom me from the Yue's people than to redeem me from the Han people, right? As for why this war was lost, hehe, I will write a report to the Senate, you take it, take a closer look, maybe it will help you in the future! ”

Congennes nodded, then looked at Rovinis with blue eyes, and said, "Your Excellency, you won't die, will you?" ”

Rovinis was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Of course not." However, I am the commander hired by the Yueshi people, and I must make my due contribution to this war. I only hope that this war has given His Highness enough enlightenment to understand what shortcomings and advantages we have compared with the Han Empire! ”

Congenes nodded heavily: "Well, Your Excellency has taught me a lot during this time, and I will keep it in my heart and think about it carefully." If I can ascend to the throne, I will never forget what Your Excellency taught me! (To be continued......)
