In late spring in March, Jiangnan is a good time for pear blossoms to fall and begonia red, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the children who return from the school early are like birds that have just come out of the woods, calling friends, and the paper kite in the hand flies into the sky as soon as it is collected.

Jiangnan is good, fortunately in the spring water is blue in the sky, fortunately in the painting boat to listen to the rain, and fortunately in the spring breeze ten miles of peach blossoms.

At this time, the coolness of the late winter in the north of the Tiansheng Dynasty has not yet dissipated, and the so-called spring breeze does not pass through the Yumen Pass, and the "bitter cold in the northern Xinjiang" is an evaluation that everyone has heard of.

Fengzhou Mansion is located in the outermost extension of the northern border of Tiansheng, out of the city to the north is the front line of the north of the town, the southwest is the west of the surrender city, to the east is the east of the surrender of the city, due south down is the Xijing Chang'an, it can be said that it is the first line of defense in the north of Tiansheng, after the Fengzhou Mansion to the south of the Pingchuan fertile field, there is no natural danger, its military status is self-evident. Therefore, Fengzhou Prefecture has always been regarded as an important border town by the imperial court.

In the camp outside the Fengzhou Mansion in Guannei Province, Huaihua Zhonglang will be Hongyi is leading his subordinates to inspect the camp defense, Huaihua Zhonglang will be under the four products, it is said that he does not have to do this kind of thing to inspect the camp defense, and he can completely hand it over to his subordinates to do, anyway, the emperor is far away here, and the border has always been divided by the military government, the state government is in charge of the people's livelihood, and the soldiers are on the border, and the two do not disturb each other, unless there are superior generals who come to transfer troops to inspect, otherwise no one can control his head.

It's just that Yu Hongyi looked up at the sky in the distance and sighed, after ten years of military conquest, the things in his bones can't be changed!

Since the beginning of autumn last year, the Turkic tribe in the north has been restless, after repeatedly violating the border, the Turkic tribe has been entrenched outside the fortress for a long time, and the nomads on the steppe have grown up on horseback since childhood, everyone is good at riding and shooting, and everyone can dance the sword, and it is not impossible to say that all the people are soldiers.

Although the Turkic Khan Wan Qi Haocang was born on the grassland, he admired the culture of the Central Plains since he was a child, and had infiltrated the Central Plains many times to make up and sneak into the Central Plains to study. Five years ago, Wan Qi Haocang unified the Turkic tribes and led an army of 300,000 to attack the Celestial Empire. The Turkic soldiers were strong and strong, and they had earlier plans, and the army killed the front line in the north of the town, and went straight to the twelve cities in the north, and even the important towns of Fengzhou and Shengzhou in the north were not spared.

Wan Qi Haocang in the period of one month deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, until the city of Xiazhou Prefecture, the whole country was shocked, Emperor Qing Yan convened the ministers on the Jinluan Palace to discuss the dispatch of troops, at that time the generals who followed the founding of the first emperor were already old, the young generals were not qualified, 200,000 soldiers were ready to go, and the court could not pick out a person who could lead the troops, Emperor Qing Yan was furious.

However, at that time, Yu Hongyi was still from the four products under the general Mingwei, ordered to garrison Xiazhou Mansion, Wan Qi Haocang only left 100,000 troops stationed in the twelve cities, personally led 200,000 troops to firmly besiege Xiazhou Mansion, Xiazhou Mansion resident garrison only 30,000, plus the northern retreat of the soldiers is only 100,000 people, Yu Hongyi was anxious, seeing that the city will not be guaranteed, and was about to die in the city, but was rescued by a young man, this person has cold eyebrows and clear handsome, martial arts are extremely high, after saving him, he went straight into the enemy formation, and stabbed Wan Qi Haocang in one fell swoop. The commander was seriously wounded, the enemy army was in chaos, and the Turkic army had to withdraw to suspend the offensive, and the Xiazhou Mansion had a chance to breathe.

After that, the young chivalrous warrior showed his identity, forcibly seized the military power with the respect of the prince, and led the 50,000 guards of the Xiazhou Mansion to firmly hold the city for half a month. The news spread to the court, the ministers were all in Beijing, and they all participated in this matter, who knew that the Qing Yan Emperor appointed the prince who was only fifteen years old at the time as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and all the soldiers and horses of the three provinces of the two capitals and thirteen provinces were under his command, and the young man lived up to expectations, led Tiansheng 300,000 soldiers and horses to defeat Wan Qi Haocang, and drove the Turkic soldiers and horses to the north of the front line in the north of the town. The Turks were defeated and sued for peace, and Tiansheng suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and Emperor Yan of the Qing Dynasty agreed to accept the surrender of the Turks in the three cities outside the river north of Fengzhou and Shengzhou in the young age. After that, the three cities outside the river were replaced by surrendered cities, and were divided into western surrendered cities, middle surrendered cities, and eastern surrendered cities. Yu Hongyi also crossed the rank for defending the city and was awarded the title of Huaihua Zhonglang General, and was ordered to guard Fengzhou Mansion.

Spring and Autumn are easier, and now that the Turkic people are recuperating and ready to move, a big war is afraid that it will not be avoidable.

Walking and walking to the military doctor's tent, a few days ago a small group of Turkic cavalry broke into the villages around the city of Xishou to burn and loot, fortunately he had been prepared, received the news and led people to rush there, and cut down all the troops under the horse, but there were still many villagers who were killed, and many of the people he brought were also injured.

Although he was wounded, the soldiers in the military tent did not have any grief at this time. The battlefield was merciless, and no matter which soldier stepped out of the tent, he was ready to be shrouded in horse leather. It is natural to die on the battlefield to defend the country, so every time the soldiers who can come back feel that they have earned it, and they can live a few more days.

Cao Lu is thirty-five years old this year, he joined the army at the age of eighteen, he is not very old, but he is already a veteran in this group of people, and his left arm was cut by the Turks in this pursuit, I am afraid that he will have to rest for ten days and half a month to get better, and the military doctor is helping him treat his wounds. He watched as he pricked up his ears to listen to the creeps chatting.

"Hey, I heard that after the defeat of the Turks five years ago, His Royal Highness the prince disappeared without a trace, is it true?"

"Isn't it? It stands to reason that there should be a reward for winning the battle, not to mention that it is still such a great credit! ”

"That's it! Thanks to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, otherwise, it would be difficult to say what the surname is today! ”

The more he said this, the more outrageous it became, Cao Lu couldn't listen to it, and interrupted them as soon as he opened his mouth: "What are you yelling about!" I'm not afraid of being heard by the general! ”

These soldiers are all new in the past two years, and the big war has only been occasionally mentioned by veterans in the army, they are all men, hot-blooded men who have come down from the battlefield, who doesn't admire the demeanor of the prince back then?

When a soldier saw him speak, his eyes rolled and he leaned over and asked, "I said, Brother Cao, you have been a soldier for a long time, have you personally participated in that battle?" ”

Speaking of this, Cao Lu felt proud in his heart, "That's natural, Lao Tzu not only participated, but also stayed under His Highness's hands, followed His Highness to relieve the siege of Xiazhou, the Battle of Fengcheng, and the victory of Yunhe, that was to follow His Highness all the way!" ”

As soon as the soldiers heard this, they were excited, "Hey, Brother Cao, tell us about the situation back then, I heard that His Royal Highness personally organized a pro-army back then, and he was invincible and invincible, isn't Brother Cao also in it?" ”

Cao Lu shook his head, "Your Highness's pro-army is something that our people can enter, and those who can fight with Your Highness are not ordinary people." If the big battle hadn't come down, it would be hard to say whether the victory or defeat would have been achieved! Who is Wan Qi Haocang? All the way from the north of the town to the outside of Xiazhou City, there has never been a defeat! Don't say it's because our Sheng army is defenseless, and the three cities outside the river are defenseless, so what about those later? ……”

Yu Hongyi listened outside the tent and smiled, he still didn't go in, no one was there, and it was good to have a thought. Now that the northern border is in crisis again, Your Highness, when will you return and lead us to a bloody battle?!
