On a warm day, the originally green early spring grassland outside Wuchang City was scattered with broken armor blades, a few scarred war horses wandered around, and the blood dyed the original blue flowers and green grass into a rainbow color, and the bursts of bloody gas turned this place into Shura Purgatory, and even the wild small animals that were originally lively everywhere were frightened and fled without a trace.

A few calm-eyed veterans dragged the corpse with old hands full of scars, and some of them couldn't tell whose hands and feet they were, but they were also men raised by their fathers and mothers, and there were countless old mothers, wives and children looking forward to their return.

These veterans have become commonplace, but they can't help but choke a few tears. Looking up at the sky, he seemed to be questioning the sky: When will this century-long campaign be a head?

Different from the desolation outside the city, the city was full of jubilation, and countless soldiers who came back from outside the city found their friends and buddies on their shoulders, glad that they were still alive, and agreed to drink a pot at night.

Yue Pingyang stood in front of the city gate, watching his scarred son return, his face was calm, but there was no look of disappointment in his eyes.

Yue Ji Heng puffed out his chest and led the petals sprinkled by several bold women on the city wall, although he knew that this might not be sprinkled on him, but he was at least standing in this triumphant camp, wasn't he?

Zhao Xian hung the horse plastic on the silver victory hook, led the remnants of the rear into the Wuchang city gate, raised his eyes, but saw Mrs. An standing on the city wall and looking at him with a smile.

She looked like a young woman with a letter of flowers, standing by the city wall, her expression was praise, but for some reason, her eyes were mixed with a little sadness, and three thousand green silks brushed her cheeks with the wind. Tears glistened in her eyes.

Seeing her husband return victorious on the battlefield, she should be happy to be a wife, but what wife wants her husband to go to war?

In the eyes of a woman, her husband lives peacefully and quietly, and his affection and love are by his side, which is far more attractive than the glory and wealth that cannot be seen or touched.

When Mrs. An was a teenager, she was forcibly married into the An family by Senior Sister Su, and became a chess piece used to plot against the An family. Later, I became accustomed to it. And not long ago, because of the self-pity that there was no successor to settle down.

At the age of 30, she has been adrift for half her life, and she has long been tired of this life full of shackles. All day long by his side, there is only exploitation, calculation, suspicion and even betrayal. When he was with Zhao Xian, a man who was supposed to be a chess piece. But she suddenly felt a little warm.

I have a husband and children. Suddenly, I felt like an ordinary woman, and I didn't have to think about anything. You don't have to do anything, it's enough to listen to your husband.

It's a pity that this world is a chessboard, and the Northern Qi and Daliang Erguo are the two behemoths that play chess, she and Zhao Xian are two shadows walking on it, and they are grabbed from behind, and they can't escape, they can't escape, they can't avoid it.

She wanted to be selfish for a while, so she took Zhao Xianli to find a quiet place, and no longer cared about secular disputes, but that would ruin the secret guard's years of hard work, how could she make a decision.

Besides, women want men to be calm, so are men really willing to be ordinary? The prince of the country above 10,000 people, and the village man who no one knows, she doesn't know which one Zhao Xian likes. I wanted to confess my identity and plan to let Zhao Xian make a choice, but Zhao Xian accidentally interrupted her, which made her want to speak again, but she didn't have the courage anymore.

She is afraid that Zhao Xian will not let go of Zhao Xian's greed for power, and she is afraid that Zhao Xian will choose to let go and let Northern Qi give up, a dilemma, let her speak?

Looking at the man on the black horse, the same armor, the white mink collar reflected the sharp lines, the last time I saw this scene, she had just entered the house. thought that person would be the husband who accompanied him for life, but he only met in a hurry, and since then he has been separated from each other.

has gone too far from Zhao Xian, and her wandering heart has sustenance, so she no longer dares to imagine what Zhao Xian will look like after following in her footsteps, maybe she can't live or die, because she is no longer alone.

Zhao Xian rode on the horse and beckoned to Mrs. An, his eyes were full of tenderness, signaling her not to stand on the city wall to blow the wind.

Turning his head, he came to the front of the group of generals who greeted him.

Yue Pingyang's unsmiling expression in the past was also quite kind at this time, and he said a little seriously: "Zhao Xian, the power of Wuchang has been solved this time, all thanks to you, Yue is grateful." ”

Xiao Jianjun also touched his beard at this time, stepped forward and said: "General Zhao Xian, this is General Pingyang Yue, the governor of the northern capital, and Ling Zun was friends back then. Old decay Xiao Ziyuan, appointed as the supervisor of Wuchang, I heard Master Xie Mo talk about you, and today I saw it really extraordinary. ”

Xiao Ziyuan? That's a familiar name. Zhao Xian thought for a while, and then remembered that this was not Queen Xiao's father, so he immediately jumped off the horse and saluted slightly: "Where is it, Master Xie is my father-in-law, and it is common for me to love me very much, Senior Xiao praised it falsely." ”

Xiao Ziyuan stroked his beard and chuckled, not worthy of an official position but commensurate with a junior, he was quite useful to this senior. Nodding and asking, "Zhao Xian Xiaoyou, I don't know where the soldiers and horses you are stationed are in, why they haven't been outside the city for half an hour." If you think that the situation outside the city is dangerous and difficult to station, the old man can vacate the barracks. ”

Zhao Xian waved his hand casually: "What kind of army, I scare them, just a hundred people, just stay on my ship." ”

"What ???" The soldiers who followed behind, Yue Jiheng and the others, all had disbelief in their eyes. If it weren't for the march of a large number of troops, how could the smoke and dust raised in the west just now be so big?

Yue Pingyang said in disbelief: "How is it possible, just now I saw the dust mist raised in the west, although the momentum is not as good as 60,000 soldiers and horses, it is not far behind, how can it be that there are only about 100 people?" ”

Before Zhao Xian could answer, at this time, the soldiers on the city wall suddenly pointed to the west and exclaimed loudly, and everyone poked their heads out to look in confusion, but saw the smoke and dust billowing in the west fluttering in the wind, like tens of thousands of troops charging, and the strange thing was that the sound of horses' hooves was inaudible.

Suddenly, a knight appeared from behind the hill, galloping on a large horse, pushing a small tree, the leaves of which had all fallen off, and only the branches were dragged on the ground, bringing up billowing dust along the way. Within a moment, another ride came out, and then more and more than three in a row, and finally more than 100 horses appeared, and they all dragged the branches of the trees side by side, and the splashed dust was blown by the spring breeze, which really covered the sky and the sun.

"Wow!!" Seeing this scene, the whole city was in an uproar, and countless soldiers' jaws almost fell, they couldn't believe that the so-called reinforcements were only more than 100 people, and they were still chasing tens of thousands of people in a hurry just now. If the Northern Qi noticed it at that time and turned around, the consequences would ......

Everyone shuddered, and looked at Zhao Xian's eyes with admiration and fear.

Yue Pingyang's eyes widened, he looked at this scene incredulously, pointed at Zhao Xian and said: "You are so bold, even if you bluff, why do you still let General Ben open the city gate, if it is detected, won't this Wuchang fall into the hands of Northern Qi?" ”

Zhao Xian stretched out his hand helplessly and said: "General Yue, with all due respect, even if you don't open the city gate, you can't defend it, in this case, it is better to open the city gate to confuse the enemy army, fighting a war is strategy and courage, how to resist the enemy if you are afraid?" Open the door and lose the city, the same if you don't open the door, since there is no other way, why not gamble. Isn't that a bet won? ”

The soldiers on the left and right couldn't help nodding their heads, anyway, the city can't be defended, and if you lose, you will only lose the city, but if you win, you can keep Wuchang, so what's the point of scaring the enemy once.

Thinking of Zhao Xian's bold strategy to protect Wuchang, everyone admired and respected him, worthy of being the general of the An family, and the courage to rush directly to the front of the two armies without changing his color with two or three horsemen is not something that normal people can do.

Yue Pingyang opened his mouth, his eyes flashed a few different colors, he has been steady and steady all year round and does not take risks easily, he is not very praising this method, but he has to admire Zhao Xian, as he said, isn't it a gamble to win now?

Since the city is bound to break, why not gamble? Yue Pingyang nodded, and said seriously: "Zhao Xiangongzi is not dishonoring the prestige of the An family, this courage, Yue can't learn it." ”

"Where, where." Zhao Xian's sullen modesty said a few words, he was awarded the title of general of the expedition to the north, but he was only a general and had no real position, what official should lead how many people still have to listen to Yue Pingyang, and Yue Pingyang, a wooden-faced boss, after a few idle words, he didn't say much, and left on the grounds that he was tired and sleepy all the way, and reminisced with his old friends.
