Chapter Seventy-Six: The Scribe in Command

"Childe, what are you thinking?"

Li Huaiyu looked back and saw that it was Miss Xiulan. He hurriedly hid his sadness with a smile and said, "It's nothing, I just miss my mother and brother, I don't know where they are!" ”

Xiulan came to Childe and said, "Childe doesn't have to think nonsense, you are now the top student in high school, and when you settle down and send someone to look around, you will be able to see them soon." ”

Li Sheng looked at the moon with his backhand, walked a few steps, and said: "Since my father's death, our mother and son have been dependent on each other for their lives, and they have spent their time hard. However, since the 16th day of the first lunar month last year, I have been away from my hometown for more than a year, and I don't know what has become of my family now, I miss my mother and brother so much. ”

"Childe can finally raise his eyebrows now and return to his hometown. I think that Sister Wu and Sister Zhang can have such a good husband as you, they are so blessed! Xiulan dissipated, took a few steps forward, and said, "Childe, if I disappear from this world one day, will you feel sorry for me?" ”

Li Huaiyu glanced at Chang Xiulan and said, "Xiulan, why did you say such unlucky words?" Childe thought to himself: "Miss Wu Er and I are childhood sweethearts, and they have a deep and righteous relationship, they saved me from Wu Jin's knife that night, and sent me out of the back wall, so that I escaped from death; Miss Zhang and I fell in love at first sight and were intimate, and then desperately snatched me away from the Xuzhou court. In order to save me, she fought Xu Wance and made a big fuss in the palace, and these days she has been facing me day and night, regardless of each other. I think all three of them have a deep affection for me. Grace is as heavy as a mountain, and I wouldn't be alive today without them. Whenever they suddenly disappear one day, I will be so sad that I will not even be able to live or die. Thinking of this, he said to Xiulan again: "If there is no you." Not only will I be sad, but my heart will be broken. ”

Chang Xiulan walked over and leaned her head on Li Sheng's shoulder with a happy smile, and said, "Childe, with your words, I, Chang Xiulan, am worth it even if I die." ”

"Xiulan, don't call me son in the future. Call me Huaiyu. Also, stop talking about the word dead, it's too unlucky. ”

Xiulan said with a hippie smile: "Okay, the little girls listen to the champion." ”

Half a month after the end of the scientific expedition, the emperor sat on the Jinluan Treasure Hall. Looking at the civil and military forces of the court in the court, he said: "Zhong Aiqing, since Wufengling annihilated the entire army of 5,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, I always have a stone in my heart. The Wufeng Mountains are close to the capital, if this big hidden danger is not eradicated, it will be difficult for me to keep the peace of the Tang Dynasty forever. I want to choose a general who can fight well to attack Wufengling, I don't know who in the Qing family wants to take command? ”

When the ministers heard the words Wufengling, they were all trembling with fright. broke out in a cold sweat, and no one dared to take command. The ministers were all white, and Liu Yulong, the first warrior of the imperial court, died in Wufengling. Wouldn't it be self-defeating for them to go there again! At this time, Liu Kun, the chief of the military department, flashed out in the martial arts class, he held an ivory wat board, and said: "Your Majesty, there is a good candidate for the commander in the minister's heart, I don't know if I can recommend it to you?" ”

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said, "Liu Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Liu Kun's eyes rolled. said: "Li Huaiyu, the champion of the new department, is talented and has eight buckets, and he is rich in five cars. He is the best person to take charge. I don't know what your majesty wants? ”

"This ......" The Son of Heaven thought that Li Huaiyu was a literati and had just entered the scholarly career. I have no experience and can't make a decision for a while.

Cheng bit Jinxin and said: "This surnamed Liu knows that Li Huaiyu is a literati, and he also let him be in charge, I think his recommendation of talents is fake, and it is true that he wants to kill people with a knife!" No, I can't let his tricks succeed, I have to save that Li Huaiyu. He hurriedly walked out of class and said, "Your Majesty! Li Huaiyu, the champion of the new department, is a scholar, he can only talk about the army on paper, and he has no experience in leading the troops to take command, so let him take command and go to Wufengling, doesn't that make him lose his life in vain and delay the fighter? Please think twice! ”

Liu Kun said: "General Cheng's words are wrong! What's wrong with the scholar, the scholar is amazing. Isn't that Wuhou Zhuge Liang also a literati, you see that people vomited blood and died of Zhou Yu, the governor of both civil and military affairs. Besides, isn't there a Chang girl with excellent martial arts and courage next to Li Huaiyu? With the assistance of Miss Chang, I believe that Li Huaiyu will definitely be able to conquer Wufengling. ”

The Son of Heaven was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "What Liu Qing's family said is very meaningful. That Li Huaiyu and Miss Chang are both literary and martial, and they cooperate carefully, and they will definitely be able to conquer Wufengling. Come on, pass on the new champion Li Huaiyu and Chang Xiulan to the palace! ”

The head of the palace passed on the emperor's will, and Li Huaiyu and Chang Xiulan came to the Golden Palace after a while. The two gave the emperor a great courtesy and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what important thing you want to pass on to Weichen?" ”

The Son of Heaven said: "Li Huaiyu, you are the champion of the new department, and you are a rare talent in my Tang Dynasty." I want to make you the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and let you lead 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Wufengling, are you willing? ”

Huaiyu said: "Your Majesty! Although the minister is the champion of the current department, how can I be a civil official, how can I afford to take on the post of military attachΓ©? The minister is very willing to take command, but he is afraid that if he can't conquer Wufengling, it will be humiliating. ”

The Son of Heaven said, "Li Huaiyu, I understand your worries and your sufferings. However, since I have let you be a civil official, I have my own reasons. Don't you still have a Chang girl under your command, I saw that she scattered hundreds of forbidden troops that day, and staggered from side to side, who can compare with that martial arts? With her on the expedition with you, I believe that you will definitely be able to conquer Wufengling. ”

Li Huaiyu didn't dare to disobey the holy decree, so he said: "Since His Majesty has said so, how can the minister have the reason to resist the decree and be disrespectful!" ”

"Good! I have made you the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and I have given you a sword to punish immortals, and everywhere you go, you will be like me in person. ”

"Thank you, your majesty!"

The Son of Heaven said to Chang Xiulan again: "Miss Chang, I know that you are capable, so today I specially named you as a pioneer, are you willing?" ”

Xiulan knelt down and said, "The folk girl is willing!" ”

"Okay, get up!" The Son of Heaven said to Hong Yuegui, the chief soldier of Chang'an: "Hong Aiqing, this expedition is extraordinary, I will use it for a while, and let you escort the grain and grass in the rear team!" ”

Hongyue Gui bowed down and said, "Honor! ”

Cheng Yanjin saw that he couldn't change the situation, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to be a supervisor and go out with the marshal." ”

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said, "Yes." Pick a day to set out! ”

Three days later, Li Huaiyu wore a bronze helmet on his head, covered with armor, a beast head in front and back to protect his heart, a fiery red cloak on his shoulders, and a fairy sword hanging from his waist, looking majestic and domineering. He came to the Dianjiangtai, beat the drum and ordered 5,000 elite soldiers from Liu Kun's men, raised a big banner with the character of Li, lit it at noon, and sent troops from time to time.

As soon as the time for the troops arrived, three cannons rang out, earth-shattering, Chang Xiulan rode forward to lead the troops, Li Huaiyu and Cheng Yanjin hurried in a carriage under the protection of the Chinese army, and Hongyuegui followed closely in the rear team to escort grain and grass. Along the way, the flags and sails of the three armies were unfurled, and they were mighty and mighty, like mountains and seas. However, the 5,000 soldiers and horses that the emperor gave to Li Huaiyu this time were replaced by Liu Kun's plan to replace half of them with the old, weak, sick and disabled. The march of the three armies was very slow, and it was dark before they reached Wufengling. The marshal sympathized with the difficulty of the soldiers at night, and ordered the three armies to rest for one night on the halfway.

At dawn the next day, the team set off again and arrived at Wufengling after dawn. Chang Xiulan was optimistic about the terrain in front, set up camp, welcomed the marshal and the supervising army into the tiger tent, and settled the grain and grass properly.

When the time was crossed, Chang Xiulan cannon sounded three times, the horse flashed out of the camp, looked up, the minions on the mountain went back and forth to find the sentry, she scolded a little, and said: "Minions, let your master come out and die, otherwise I will step on Wufengling, slash the hall of benevolence and righteousness, and leave no chickens and dogs killed in your whole village, and not a single inch of grass will be born." ”

The minions ran back and learned Xiulan's original words as usual, Wu Fengying was angry and vowed to fight to the death with Tang Bing. She slapped her thigh and immediately prepared to go into battle.

Wu Yueying was afraid that her sister would fall for the enemy's scheme, so she hurriedly persuaded her and said, "Sister, don't be angry, let Sister Yu'e go into battle to explore the enemy's future history." ”

Wu Fengying was silent.

Bai Yu'e put on a dress, brought 200 minions, ran out of the gate with three cannon sounds, came to the front of the two armies, and met Chang Xiulan head-on.

When Chang Xiulan saw a white-robed young general coming down from the mountain, she raised her head and shouted, "Bah! will leave a name and surname, and this girl will not kill the unknown. ”

Bai Yu'e coughed dryly and said, "My name is Bai Yu!" What's your name? ”

"I am Chang Xiulan, a pioneer officer under the command of Marshal of the Tang Dynasty."

The two of them ran and killed together while talking, and you fought back and forth for more than 400 times. Bai Yu'e saw that she was about to fight the other party, but hurriedly jumped into the air to avoid the attack. Chang Xiulan saw that the other party flew into the air, and she was not to be outdone, and jumped up and slashed with a knife. Bai Yu'e was shocked at first, she didn't expect that the enemy general could also fly, and when she saw that the opponent's knife was coming, she flicked the whip and went to parry. The two sides fought in mid-air for another 200 rounds, and Bai Yu'e was defeated, abandoned his horse and fled back to the cottage.

Zhang Meiying heard that Tang Jiang was a woman, and she also made a big knife, she was unconvinced, and decided to go down the mountain to compare with her. Miss Zhang quickly put on a good dress, took 200 minions, flashed out of the gate, and suddenly came to the front of the two armies, looked at the female general on the opposite side before and after, and saw that she was born like a flower like jade, extremely beautiful, covered with a blue robe, carrying a wild goose sword, and stepping down to ride a high-headed horse. The young lady shook her knife and shouted, "Girl, you are so beautiful! What's your last name? ”

Chang Xiulan also looked at it, and saw that the other party was wearing a bright armor, wearing a bright red cloak, and holding a moon shadow knife, dressed as a man, so she said, "I am Chang Xiulan!" Who are you? ”

"Me? My name is Zhang Ying! Zhang Meiying smiled and said, "Girl, I want to discuss something with you, I don't know if you can agree?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"I see that you are very beautiful and have a good figure, why don't I suffer a loss, welcome you back to the cottage, and marry you to be a lady of the village?"

When Chang Xiulan heard this, her face turned red with anger, and she patted the horse and said: "Thief, you have to talk nonsense, wait for the girl to take your dog's head." ”

The two fought in one place in an instant, killing inextricably and dusty. After fighting for more than 500 times, Chang Xiulan not only knew how to escape, fly, pass through mountains, and stealth all kinds of immortal arts, but also had amazing internal strength and knife skills. (To be continued)
