Soon, Ye Gucheng encountered a real problem!

The mountain road was completely blocked, looking at the endless gravel and mudflow, I could only order the army to start clearing the road, because the mountain road was narrow, the progress was very slow, according to this progress, I am afraid that it will be difficult to open the gap in the lower horse pass today!

Although Ye Gucheng was anxious to get off the disaster, he was helpless, of course, he was not idle, regardless of the opposition of the generals, and opened the road with the soldiers and the people.

Just when the fortification was being carried out nervously, a villager walked towards Ye Gucheng with a anxious face and said: "Commander, I think this mountain road will not be opened for a while, the villain is really worried about his relatives in the horse pass, I don't know if the commander will allow the villain to take a shortcut to cross this mountain first." ”

Ye Gucheng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Where is the shortcut?"

The young man pointed his hand and said to the mountain on the side: "There is a road in this mountain that can quickly lead to Xiama Pass, but the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and it is impossible to march normally. ”

Hearing this, Ye Gucheng couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Since you know this shortcut, and you miss your relatives, why didn't you take someone to check it before?" Xuanyuan Xue's eyes were full of suspicion as she stared at the villagers.

The villagers smiled bitterly: "General, although the villain knows this road, but there are fierce beasts in the mountains, and the villain does not know martial arts, so he does not dare to pass easily.

This explanation is also reasonable, and Xuanyuan Xue's doubts suddenly dissipated.

"That's it. Ye Gucheng thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I will take a few people and you to pass first, and the others will continue to open the mountain road." ”

Ye Gucheng really wanted to know the situation of Xiama Pass, since the villagers in front of him knew the shortcut, it was better to pass first.

The generals were naturally reluctant to take the helm into danger, and they all objected, but Ye Gucheng insisted on going his own way, and ordered Xuanyuan Xue to stay behind to supervise the fortifications, and only let Xuanyuan go with a few guards.

Unexpectedly, Li Jun actually asked to go with him, because he was ashamed of the right reason! Ye Gucheng did not object!

For the sake of safety, Ye Gucheng arranged heralds along the way, and in the event of any unpredictable situation, it would also be convenient for the army to rush to help.

Climbing over the mountain is not as good as walking the mountain road, plus the group is already tired, and most of them are exhausted when they climb to the top of the mountain, although Ye Gucheng is in a hurry, he has to order a rest.

The view from the top of the mountain is broad, and although the mountain forest is lush but not dense on the mountainside, there is a large open space for rest.

The guards quickly dispersed and went around on guard, and no matter how tired they were, they did not forget their duties.

After Ye Gucheng ordered the water bladder to be sent to the guards on guard, he glanced at Li Jun who was sitting on the side, hesitated, and walked over slowly. "Jun'er, why do you insist on going to Xiama Pass?"

Li Jun flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and after a long time, he said softly: "Because I promised someone, I will go to see her." ”

Ye Gucheng understood in an instant, was silent for a while, and gently patted the other party's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry!

Early love, Ye Gucheng does not support it, at least, he can't fall in love as a minor, because each other is too young, and there is no preparation for many things at all, not to mention responsibility and responsibility, which is disrespectful to each other!

But in this era, because of the war, because of the urgent need for men to expand their military power, early love is accepted and accustomed to by people!

Li Jun nodded and fell silent again.

Ye Gucheng knew that Li Jun would not be able to completely let go of the estrangement for a while, so he got up and left with interest, besides, there was another person he needed to talk about.

Xuanyuan frantically looked around with a calm face, and when he saw Ye Gucheng coming, he saluted sullenly.

Ye Gucheng knew that Xuanyuan was still sulking, and he didn't break it, stared sideways at the vast earth, and said slowly: "Xuanyuan crazy, what is your ambition in this life?"

Xuanyuan was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer!

He has been running for the fate of his people all his life, and his heart is that one day he will be able to conquer the western realm and step into this rich land, and now, his wish has come true, but what to do next, he has never thought about it!

"Have you seen it, this splendid country, stretching for thousands of miles, is our land!" Ye Gucheng seemed to ask himself, and said in a deep voice: "But have you thought about how to keep this land and how to let our children and grandchildren survive from war?"

This question Xuanyuan couldn't answer either, because he hadn't thought about it at all!

"What kind of soldiers are really strong soldiers? What kind of country is really a strong country? Have you ever thought about these?" Ye Gucheng slowly looked sideways, staring at his silent face tightly.

Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Commander, the minister is stupid and doesn't understand these big truths, the minister only knows that the clansmen fought bloodily to win this country in order to live a better life, and the minister really doesn't know why the commander killed the clansmen like this." ”

"Killing?" Ye Gucheng smiled dumbly and said indifferently: "The brain is a good thing! It's a pity that you don't!"

Although Xuanyuan was not convinced, he did not dare to refute it.

"Military orders are like mountains, do you understand?" Ye Gucheng said coldly as if he hated iron and steel: "Do you think I killed Xuanyuan Blood for the suffering civilians? Let me tell you, we now rule a country, not a tribe!"

"If the army is strong, the country will be prosperous, and the way to strengthen the army lies in strict military discipline, no matter who violates military discipline, severe punishment will not be granted, if the law is extrajudicial and everyone follows suit, the army will not become a soldier, it will not be like a general, how can such a country last long? After a hundred years, where will the clansmen go, have you ever thought about this?"

"You don't! In addition to having a pig's head, all you think about is the interests of your clansmen! But are you really making profits for your clansmen? You don't, you can't see it, the Chinese people are boiling with anger, you can't hear the cries of the suffering people, I know what you want to say, you want to say that the people who die anyway are untouchables of other tribes, and if you die, you will die! But have you ever thought about how many soldiers and horses in our Chinese army come from these families?"

Xuanyuan was immediately unconvinced, and retorted: "Commander-in-chief, haven't you forgotten that in the past, we captured the entire Western Regions with an army of more than 100,000 people, and if these untouchables dared to rebel, the minister would lead the army to exterminate them again." ”

As soon as he heard this, Ye Gucheng really wanted to slap Xuanyuan to death, he couldn't have imagined that after doing ideological work for so long, Xuanyuan still kept this kind of thought!

He took a deep breath and said coldly: "Xuanyuan madness, do you know how many other people are in Huaxia Country? How many people does our Xuanyuan Clan have in Huaxia Kingdom?"

Xuanyuan was stunned, he had never thought about this question, and said truthfully: "I don't know." ”

"If you don't know, then I'll tell you, Huaxia has a total population of eight million, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, at least half of the other people who are young, strong and have combat effectiveness, how many warriors are there in our Xuanyuan tribe?"

Xuanyuan was stunned when he heard this data.

"When one day, the people of Huaxia Kingdom attack it en masse, who else can you protect? You can't protect anyone, including yourself! And the Huaxia Kingdom that we have worked so hard to fight will also be like the Western Regions Kingdom, and our clansmen and relatives will no longer exist, is this the result you want?" At this moment, Ye Gucheng is really tired, why, it will be so difficult to live well!

Xuanyuan's legs were weak, and he knelt down silently, and said ashamedly: "Commander, the minister knows that he is wrong!"

"Xuanyuan madness! you are my dependent, I want you to help me not because I am your commander, but because we are all members of the Xuanyuan clan, and we are all surnamed Xuanyuan! We are all working for the benefit of the descendants of the clan, I am already very tired, can you not block me in the future?"

"The minister is guilty, please punish the commander. At this moment, Xuanyuan was really embarrassed, especially when he saw Ye Gucheng rarely showing fatigue, he felt even more remorseful in his heart.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Ye Gucheng sighed, slowly helped Xuanyuan Madness, and said earnestly: "Remember, if you want to make his people completely surrender to our clan, you must use wisdom and not the courage of a horseman, only by accepting and integrating can you truly ensure long-term peace and stability to ensure that our clan will be inherited from generation to generation. ”

"Yes!"

Ye Gucheng patted Xuanyuan Mad's shoulder with satisfaction, and slowly moved forward: "Inform the soldiers and continue to set off." ”

"Yes!"

Night, quiet!

The gentle wind, sweeping the flowers and plants in the back garden, slowly hit the Yiyue Pavilion.

On the soft collapse of the brocade, a black hair is spread like a cloud, butterfly-like eyelashes, ruddy lips like begonias, and a slightly messy ayaluo, even if the pearl placed next to the pillow is not as shining as this sleeping posture.

Suddenly, the peaceful sleeping figure began to move, and the picturesque brows were tightly wrinkled, and the whole body trembled violently.

"Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law... ”

The dream voice became stronger and stronger, and the sweat of the big bucket quickly slid down the creamy skin, and with a shudder, Li Yue'er sat up suddenly.

"Sister... In the mournful scream, Li Yue'er didn't even have time to put on her shoes and ran out of Yiyue Pavilion.

"Miss... Wear shoes... Miss... Stop it.. ”

The two slaves chased helplessly all the way.

Taihe Temple.

Li Yueli hugged Li Yue'er tightly and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Yue'er is not afraid! It's just a dream!"

"It's not a dream. Li Yue'er said anxiously: "Sister, I really saw it, my brother-in-law bled a lot, he is going to die, let's go and save him." ”

Li Yueli's heart sank, although this was just Li Yue'er's nightmare, but, I don't know why, her heart began to become a little uneasy, and she smiled and said: "Yue'er is not afraid! Your brother-in-law has a large army to protect him, just go to investigate the disaster, and it will be fine." ”

"No, sister, I really saw it, my brother-in-law was slashed a lot, there was no one around, he was going to die, let's go and save him. Li Yue'er knew that this was not a dream, and she didn't know how to express her ability to predict as a magician, so she could only do it in vain.

The first time Li Yueli saw Li Yue'er like this, the ominous premonition in her heart was even stronger, and she was helpless to be thousands of miles away, and she couldn't find out, so she had to continue to comfort: "Yue'er, listen to my sister, it's just a dream, your brother-in-law will be back in a few days! Be good, go back to sleep! Otherwise, you will sleep with your sister tonight!"

"Sister, it's not a dream, I really see it. Seeing that her sister didn't believe her, Li Yue'er stomped her feet in a hurry, gritted her teeth, and rushed towards the door.

"Yue'er, where are you going?" Li Yueli couldn't be relieved when she saw this formation, and hurriedly rushed out with the slaves.

However, Li Yueli looked around, but couldn't find Li Yue'er's figure, and couldn't help frowning.

Where did this girl go?

Soon, a dragon roared into the sky, and above the sky, the golden dragon soared in the direction of the western realm.

"Yue'er... Li Yueli stared blankly at the petite black shadow riding on the dragon's head under the moonlight, and the ominous premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger. Did Xiang Gong really have an accident?

Thinking of this possibility, Li Yueli suddenly felt a chill all over her body.
