After walking out of the Chinese army, Li Xu found that his robe was soaked with sweat. The cold and sticky autumn wind swept the dead leaves from all directions, blowing the sleeves of people's robes and making the joints of bones cold. And those wounds on the body, both new and old, invariably began to be difficult, painful and itchy, like tens of thousands of ants crawling on the wounds.

"Showing weakness to your opponent will only make him gain an inch!" Asahiko felt his body go limp, but he tried his best to straighten his spine. Seeing the general's face turn gray, several of his own soldiers tried to come forward to help, but he stopped them with smiles and gestures.

"Let's go back to camp!" After jumping on the black wind, he turned around on horseback as always, and ordered with a smile. The horse's hooves were noisy like rain, and they quickly left the big tent of the Chinese army behind. escaped, and Xuzi suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart. He looked up at the sky on horseback, and the sky was still blue, and the autumn sunset was dazzling.

When there is no sound of the golden drum, there is indeed a quiet place between heaven and earth. Asahiko could see that the trees in the distance were gilded with a layer of gold by the sunset, and the leaves that had begun to turn yellow were like gold, heavy and glowing with soft light. Nearby, the tents had turned pale yellow, and although some of the tents were covered with patches, they had softened with the sun.

The location of the Xiongwu camp is on the edge of the ten-mile company camp, which is slightly neater than the other camps. It was already time for the second meal, and a faint smoke and fire gas wafted through the camp. It's familiar, it's warm, and for a few months, Asahi has gotten used to all the flavors of the camp as if she were at home. But from tonight onwards, none of this has anything to do with him. He lost a war, and he lost his capital with no room for resistance.

In terms of power schemes, Xuzi is just a toddler, while Yuwenshu is a giant with strength. Therefore, he lost this struggle without injustice. After thinking about this, he didn't want to do any more entanglement, and after hastily eating, he gathered to discuss the matter and announced that he was about to go home to recuperate. During the period of recuperation, all the affairs of the Xiongwu Battalion were temporarily replaced by Yuwen Supervision Army.

"How can it be done, can our Xiongwu Camp still be called Xiongwu Camp without you?" Murong Luo was the first to jump out and objected loudly.

"Adults can't go!" Zhang Xiu, who had just been released as a lieutenant, also rushed out to stop him at the first moment. At this moment, his face turned blue and his eyes were full of anger.

"Can't you leave us, adults? It's clear that it's fine during the day, how can you say that you can just leave? At the end of the team, several lieutenants who had just been promoted and were qualified to enter the Chinese army also shouted at the top of their voices. They were far from the center of the turmoil, and they didn't know what had happened these days, so their cries were full of anxiety and disappointment.

There was a lot of noise, whether it was on Li Xu's side or the officers who maintained a neutral attitude, no one was not shocked by the news. The rapid rise of this team in battle is not due to the tacit cooperation between the soldiers and the strategy of some people, but the personal courage of several major generals. Under the leadership of General Li Lang, the Xiongwu Battalion is like a divine weapon, invincible and invincible. But if General Lang leaves, the sword of the Xiongwu Camp will be equivalent to losing its blade, and it will be used to chop wood and chop bones, and it will be used for battle, and the previous compelling momentum will be gone.

"Yang Xuangan has fled, and someone needs to lead the cavalry around Luoyang to intercept him. I didn't have any injuries on my body, and I really didn't have the strength to take everyone on the road day and night! Li Xu glanced at the empty prison seat beside him, and raised his voice to explain to everyone. He didn't want to let everyone know the truth, and since he had promised to hand over the Xiongwu Battalion to Yuwen Shiji, there was no need to cause too much trouble for the successor.

This reason may not be very reasonable, because from the perspective of using troops, the sooner the army starts, the more sure it is to block Yang Xuangan in the middle of the road. And Yu Wenshi is no longer in the barracks at this time, even if he rushes back within an hour, it will take several hours to hand over the seal letter and prepare the baggage. If this is calculated, the departure of the army will be postponed at least until the early hours of tomorrow morning, and the enemy will be able to run dozens of miles more during this time.

But this reason made Xuzi feel a little better. At least, from a national point of view, his sacrifice was not without benefit. He suddenly understood why Yu Wenshu suddenly became angry at the moment when he took the initiative to ask Ying to hunt down and kill Yang Xuangan, "The old guy has calculated that I will take care of the overall situation!" This conclusion made Xuzi more and more admired the methods of the Yuwen family. But the old fellow can put his own family affairs ahead of the state affairs with impunity! Another conclusion struck him as ridiculous, 'Meat eaters are not unscrupulous, but meat eaters don't think things in the same order as we do!' Xuzi couldn't remember who this angry remark came from. But from my own experience, the 'meat eaters' of the Great Sui Dynasty did prioritize the interests of the family over the country in most cases.

The generals of the Xiongwu Battalion were obviously not satisfied with Xuzi's explanation, and although their discussions were lowered, the expressions on their faces became more and more excited. After a few whispered exchanges, more people realized the truth of the matter. Some people choose to be silent, and some people are indignant.

"My lord is still planning for the people of the Yuwen family at this time!" Li Mengwei strode out of the queue and stood opposite the handsome case and questioned. "Didn't they force you, my lord, we can't just do this. As long as you say a word, the brothers will stop doing it, let's all go to recuperate from our injuries, make meritorious contributions, and let the people of the Yuwen family stand up by themselves! ”

He turned his head and expressed his opinion with the help of the strength of his arm: "The adult saved the Yuwen Prison Army three times, and finally ended up with such a result, we have no benefit to his Yuwen family, and I don't know how to be tossed by them in the future!" Don't do it, everyone doesn't do it. Let's follow General Li to recuperate! ”

"If you don't do it, whoever wants to do it will do it!" Cui Qian, Wang Qijin, Zhang Xiu, and several captains who were pulled up by Li Xu also shouted together. The law does not blame the public, and the more people participate, the more Yuwenshu old thieves will take everyone. Some people join with the mentality of fishing in troubled waters, but some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. For a while, the shouting became louder and louder, shaking the entire military tent. Outside the tent, the guards on duty didn't know what was going on inside, so they bent down frequently, stretched their necks and peeked in.

"You guys, stand down!" Li Xu slapped the handsome case hard, stood up, and broke off loudly. The brothers had this heart, and it warmed him. But he can't ruin everyone's future because of his own personal affairs. Most of the generals and colonels of the Xiongwu Battalion are like themselves, they have earned their fame by licking blood with their knives, and they should not involve them in disputes and let them bury their hard-won future.

His gaze swept over his face, and the whole person looked extremely majestic. "If you're still a friend to me, don't mess around with your temperament!" He swallowed hard and swallowed what was stuck in his throat. "I appreciate everyone's kindness, and it's a choice I made voluntarily. Let's pick up the knife and get on the horse, just to fight for fame. Everyone has to guard their share, because everyone's future is not easy, they are all exchanged for their lives, and it is not worth ...... if they lose it like this."

Asahiko didn't know what to say and was incoherent. There are countless words in my heart that are uncomfortable, but I am clumsy in expressing them. "I'm just recuperating from my injuries, and I'm still a warrior. Maybe I'll come back one day, and I'll follow everyone to make a contribution! A moment before tears flowed, he made a gesture ordering everyone to disperse, "Everyone stand down and get ready." By tomorrow morning at the latest, you will have to set off with your troops! ”

The soldiers gradually quieted down, and Li Mengwei, Zhang Xiu and others, who took the lead in the noise, also lowered their heads sadly. General Lang is right, everyone's fame is not easy to come by. They are all people from small civilian families who go out to make a living, unlike those children of families, who are born with fame. From the establishment of the Xiongwu camp to the present, how many people have fallen with the dream of sealing their wives and shadows. There are only a few people who can see the hope of life, and no matter how indignant everyone is, they don't have the capital to uphold justice for Li Lang.

"Alas!" Someone sighed and walked out of the tent.

"It's fucking unfair!" Someone cursed in a low voice, but there was nothing to be done. gave Li Xu, who was sitting slowly, a sympathetic glance, shook his head helplessly, and moved out of the tent after the flow of people.

Murong Luo, Li Anyuan, Zhang Xiu, Cui Qian and others calmed down one after another, shook their heads and sighed. After a while, Murong Luo strode to the side of the handsome case and put his hand on Xuzi's shoulder, "Xuzi, I'll go down." According to that, without you, there would be no Murong Luo today, and I should guard your cold stove. Liaodong has not yet been pacified, and it will not be long before you are estimated to be reactivated. But you know, I still have a lot of people in my family......." He couldn't continue the conversation, and for a moment his face turned red and he wanted to slap himself a few times.

"Where did Brother Murong come from, your fame was earned by yourself, not anyone's gift!" Li Xu wiped his face and slowly raised his head, "I still have something to ask Brother Murong for a while, over the years, I have also saved some family ......"

"Don't worry, I'll go find someone immediately, load all your belongings, and escort you back to Yi County!" Murong Luo interrupted Li Xu's words and promised loudly. On the way from Liaodong to Liyang, they used to stay in Shanggu County. Murong Luo remembered that someone in the army helped Li Xu deliver goods to his family once. In his current capacity, arranging for someone to accomplish this is just a gesture.

"Let Brother Murong bother. I'm going to go shopping alone, and you can send those goods directly to my house!" Li Xu patted the back of his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile. He didn't want to look like money was like dung, none of them had the qualifications to treat money like dung.

"Xuzi, if there is anything else you need to command. Don't worry, a few of us, we will definitely not go to the tea cool! Li Anyuan stepped forward and promised on behalf of several other people. There is only one thing that everyone can help, and it has been taken care of by Murong Luo. At this moment, apart from commitment and friendship, others really have nothing to give to Xuzi.

"How can it, after all, we rolled on the tip of the knife together!" Li Xu cracked his mouth, and his smile was still bright.

"You have a gold medal in your hand, the emperor should not forget you!" Cui Qian lowered his head and reminded in a very soft voice. He didn't understand what had happened, and the whole situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. But with his understanding of the Great Sui officialdom, Xuzi's setback this time was not too serious. Although he has lost the real vacancy, the knighthood and position are still there, and there is a possibility of turning over at any time.

"With this person's fame, as long as he is willing to nod, many people should come forward to speak for him." The rational Cui Qian came to such a conclusion in his heart. He no longer wanted to convince Asahiko, he knew that one day, Asahiko would have an epiphany.

Several core generals greeted each other and walked out of the Chinese military tent one after another. Zhang Xiu, who had just made up for the lack of five products, dragged at the end, and his steps were extremely slow. He already understood why his cousin didn't let him be his own captain anymore, but let himself out to lead the troops without discussing it with him at all. It turned out that a few days ago, my cousin had already prepared for today. It's a pity that I'm stupid, and I'm actually elated for a sudden promotion.

"Since he expected this moment, he shouldn't be too sad!" Zhang Xiu comforted herself, turned around, and walked towards Li Xu again. "Xuzi, I, I'm ......." He blushed rarely, so embarrassed that he had no place to put his hands and feet. It is customary in the army that when a general resigns, his close relatives will leave. Li Xu did not have any cronies in the Xiongwu camp, if he insisted on what lineage he had promoted for personal gain, Zhang Xiu was the only candidate among them.

"Cousin, you can do it yourself in the future. Practice martial arts diligently, usually try your best to find a few good martial arts and put them by your side as a personal soldier! Don't just think about merit when you go to war, think about what risks you want to take first! Li Xu bypassed the handsome case and gently patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder. He understood Zhang Xiu's thoughts, and finally got to his current position, and no one could give up easily.

"Xuzi, I, I ......." Zhang Xiu suddenly became sad, tears crackling and falling down. His cousin has always been stronger than him, starting from the time he was a student in the county school, protecting the grain army, the Xiongwu battalion, and until now. Now, he finally has the opportunity to surpass his cousin, but he doesn't feel the joy of victory in his heart at all.

"Don't say it, I understand!" Li Xu shook his head with a smile and slowly walked out of the Chinese army. He understands, he understands everything. When he was still fighting against Yuwenshu, he knew what was going on.

Knowing that Yang Fuzi was his teacher, there was only one person who witnessed all the actions of Xuzi that night. Even if other insiders are co-opted by the Yuwen family, they will not be able to make all the details so clear.

Li Xu quickened his pace and left the Chinese army tent of the Xiongwu Battalion behind.

On the road of life, setbacks are the best teachers. He's lost and he's learned a lot.
