Cai Guogong's Mansion was originally a prince's mansion, and the pavilions and pavilions in it can be regarded as prosperous!

Du He and Li Xueyan strolled on the path of the west courtyard.

The scenery is beautiful, but no one is in the mood to appreciate it.

"I heard you're going to go with the army?" Li Xueyan shrugged her head, unable to see her expression clearly.

"Yes!" Du He responded, "After three days, it has been decided." ”

"Can you not go?" Li Xueyan stopped, her shoulders shrugged, and she sobbed in a low voice.

Du He took her in his arms and comforted her softly.

Li Xueyan didn't refuse, just lay quietly on his chest and said: "In the fourth year of Zhenguan, my eldest brother died in the battle of the (Turkic), I am afraid...... You ...... too."

She couldn't go on, she just hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that he would go away.

"I'll be back!" Duhe gently kissed her on the cheek and gave her a promise.

Seeing several green bamboos next to the pond in the courtyard, Du He had an idea, cut one by himself, cut the tough part into bamboo pieces, carefully screened it, and folded it carefully.

Li Xueyan didn't know why, just looked at him curiously.

About half an hour, Du He made a small and cute grasshopper out of the bamboo chips in his hand: when he was a child, he was playful, and there were often similar connoisseurs who made up and sold them on the street. He thought it was fun, and after studying it for two days, he would also make up some small things.

He took Li Xueyan's smooth little hand, carefully put the bamboo grasshopper on her hand, and said, "This is for you." ”

Li Xueyan looked at the cute grasshopper in her hand, smiled happily, put her hand on her chest, and said with a low smile: "I like it so much!" ”

*****

The next day, Du He came to the Xuanwu Gate, and suddenly, he saw a beautiful figure standing near the Xuanwu Gate from a distance.

He walked up briskly with a smile on his face.

That's Princess Changle!

She walked with a gentle jade step.

Facing each other, Du He shouted: "Changle! But I was a little moved in my heart, today is not a holiday, and Princess Changle waiting for herself at this time means that she will be late for the first time in her life without reason.

"I heard my father say that you want to go out with the army, I asked for a peace charm overnight, may you return safely!" Princess Changle held a peace charm made of rosewood in her hand and reached out and handed it to him.

There are no superfluous words, but you can feel that affection.

Du He never believed in ghosts and gods, but he also accepted Princess Changle's affection ceremoniously, and collected it in front of her.

"So, I have something for you too!" Du He took out the grasshopper that he had knitted overnight, took her hand, and put it in her hand: "This is what I made with my own hands!" ”

Princess Changle smiled and held the grasshopper baby in her hand.

Du He dragonfly suddenly kissed Princess Changle on the cheek, and said in a low voice: "Wait for me to come back!" ”

Brush it, and the light power slips away.

Princess Changle stood on the spot as if she had been electrocuted.

When she woke up, Du He was long gone, and she touched her cheek shyly, but there was no resistance in her heart.

The three days are fleeting, and today is the time for the army to start.

As early as yesterday, Fan Yuanchen had already led 500 personal soldiers to report.

As a child of a family, he has the right to bring his own personal soldiers when he goes out on the expedition, and according to the rules, those who are from the official to the captain can lead fifty personal soldiers. But the number of guards of the meritorious children far exceeds this number, and the court also turns a blind eye to this, after all, there is no harm in having more soldiers, not to mention that the soldiers do not need to be paid by the court.

It's like Duhe, according to the regulations, his own soldiers are only allowed to bring a hundred people, but he brought a vote of 500 people, and no one said anything. After all, there is a prime minister's father, no one is full, and he has nothing to do, so he went to Li Shimin to sue him for this trivial matter.

Du He let them mix with his own army, and with the personal soldiers brought by Fang Yiai and Luo Tong, the soldiers and horses under his command were more or less nearly 2,000.

A group of people is mighty and majestic.

On the school field, the marshal Li Ji made a speech on the expedition, and the 40,000 horses gathered were like a long dragon, taking firm steps towards the battlefield.

The people of Chang'an City have long been familiar with such a war scene, Zhenguan years, the Tang Dynasty's heroes have repeatedly gone out to conquer, conquer everything, exterminate (Turkic) Turks, attack Tuguhun, and the soldiers are mighty, and the people watching along the way have begun to shout victory.

This is the glory of Datang, and in the hearts of every people, they are proud to believe that Datang is undefeated!

When he came to the city gate, Du He saw Zhang and his eldest brother Du Gou from afar, and even the sister-in-law who stayed at home also saw off the three-year-old baby on the side.

Du He didn't step forward to speak, for fear that the parting emotion would make the Zhang family cry, but just waved his hand and made a gesture that reassured them.

In the crowd, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure, Wu Zhao! She also seemed to be looking for someone, her eyes wandering through the crowd.

Their eyes converged on one side, and both looked at each other.

Du He beckoned, smiled at her, and said hello.

The other party also reciprocated with a sweet smile, like a rose, very beautiful, very beautiful.

Her eyes did not wander anymore, but fixed on Du He's body.

Could it be that she was looking for herself?

Du He thought so, and suddenly felt that there was a cold air behind him, and a cold air was coming, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Princess Changle and Li Xueyan standing on the city tower and looking at him with unkind eyes.

When did these two girls come here?

Reaching out to them to say hello, the two seemed to have reached an agreement, ignoring Duhe's greeting.

It can't be jealousy!

Du He smiled secretly in his heart and went away with the army.

After walking less than ten miles, Du He was suddenly summoned by Li Ji.

Du He asked Luo Tong and Wang Dezheng to assist in leading the troops and speeding up the horses.

"Uncle!" Du He came to Li Ji's side from behind.

Li Ji was wearing armor, twisting his beard, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, can you still get used to everything in the barracks?" Do you have an idea for this first expedition? ”

Du He replied calmly: "The kid's surname is free and easy, to be honest, I don't feel anything!" ”

Li Ji burst out laughing and exclaimed: "A good person who doesn't feel anything, and who has achieved great things, should be like this, steady as Mount Tai, and not moved by emotions." Are you interested in accompanying the old man all the way? ”

Although Du He was puzzled in his heart, he also agreed.

Li Ji led Du He, and everywhere he went, he would talk about military affairs, where it was suitable for camping, where it was suitable for ambushes, where it was suitable for arson, and where it was suitable for water attack.

Du He suddenly realized that Li Ji was instructing him in the method of using soldiers.

Although Du He has read a lot of military books recently, he is still a rookie in terms of experience.

And Li Ji is known as the Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty after a hundred battles, and his talent is second only to Li Jing.

Du He listened to his explanation on the sidelines and was humbly taught, but he would also speak out bluntly where he didn't understand or disagree. Li Ji either solved his doubts or debated with him.

Sometimes the two even blushed because of their disagreements, and no one could convince anyone, and finally broke up unhappily.

But after less than half an hour, they will gather together again to express their thoughts on each other's opinions.

After more than ten days, under the guidance of Li Ji, Du He has a deeper understanding of the way of using soldiers.

Li Ji also sincerely admired, although he explained his experience to him with the attitude of pointing Du He, but every time he went to sleep and sorted out his thoughts, he would find that Du He's whimsical ideas would also bring him new feelings, and he was even more happy to "guide" Du He.

The army hurried all the way, and when they arrived in Jiaochuan, they received the news that the Tibetans had conquered Songzhou.

At this moment, they were no more than a hundred miles away from the Tibetan army.
