The winter of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan came very early, the golden autumn of September had just passed, the first snow in the Western Regions fell on the night of the first day of October, the snow fell more and more, the wind became stronger and stronger, the cold north wind swept the goose feather snowflakes whistling in the desert and grassland, sweeping, where it passed, everything was frozen, and the earth became a white and vast ice and snow world.

Ruixue Mega Year? Wrong! This sentence may be the unchanging truth for the farming civilization in the Guannai, but for the nomads outside the Saiwai, it is definitely a disaster, an out-and-out natural disaster - the vast majority of newborn cattle and sheep, horses simply can't survive this early and harsh winter, followed by the famine in the spring of the next year, if you add some **, it will be difficult to survive, maybe the war plunder will become the only choice for the survival of the nomadic tribes, and the chaos outside the Saiwai is quietly brewing in this ice and snow, Fermenting, waiting for the moment when it completely erupts.

As soon as the snow fell, the weather was suddenly cold, but it was just a matter of putting on a few more robes, and the left and right were nested in the carriage, but I didn't feel how sad, but the trouble was that the road conditions became extremely bad because of this, not to mention the speed of the march, and the bumps were choking enough, which made Fu Kui extremely dissatisfied, but unfortunately he was not satisfied anymore and he did not raise objections, after all, he is no longer the prince of Khotan, with the demise of Khotan, now he is just a prisoner, This way is just the march of being escorted into the Tang Jing Division, although there are still carriages to ride, but it is by no means as casual and comparable as the old and young travels in the past, not to mention that it is just a bumpy bit, that is, it knocks out teeth, and it can only endure and swallow blood.

Chang'an, the most prosperous place in the world. Fu Kui has never been, but I have heard a lot of people talk about it, the business travelers from various countries always talk about Chang'an City, always a look of infatuation, and after the envoy to Chang'an returns, he always remembers Chang'an City, and he is always proud of himself for having been to Chang'an City, all of this Fu Kui has heard a lot since he was small, and he has been to countless times in his dreams, however, this time he is really going to Chang'an City, but Fu Kui's heart is not a little excited, but empty melancholy, Because at this time, he was just a prisoner who was unlucky enough to come home.

Who is to blame for falling into such a field now? It's hard to say, Fu Kui really doesn't know who to blame, is it to blame his uncle? It seems that it is impossible to say that my uncle has made a lot of mistakes, but his old man has been suffering all his life, just so that the society of Khotan can survive, even if there is a deviation in the method, it is not a reason to blame him. Complaining about his father? I'm afraid that I can't give up, although my father and uncle disagreed on whether to attach the Tang Dynasty, and tried to persuade my uncle to return to Tang completely, but once the Tang army attacked in a big way, my father still stood on the side of my uncle without hesitation, but unfortunately he still couldn't stop the fierce Tang army at the end. If you really want to complain, it seems that you can only complain about Li Zhen, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but Fu Kui just can't complain about Li Zhen, but admires the Tang prince who is a few months younger than himself, even if Li Zhen led the crowd to destroy his country, Fu Kui still can't hate him, but he has a sense of loss that he can't fight side by side.

Maybe no one should complain, if you want to complain, just complain! Fu Kui suddenly seemed to have a kind of enlightenment in his heart, but his heart still had a strong sense of unwillingness, yes, unwilling, Fu Kui was unwilling to let what he had learned be buried in a mediocre and trivial life, but what if he was unwilling? The current situation is destined to be lost, Fu Kui is eager to change, but he doesn't know where to start, confusion, loss, longing and other emotions are intertwined, so that Fu Kui is always excited along the way, and it is difficult to calm down.

"Cough, cough, cough." After a violent bump in the carriage, it suddenly stopped, and the former Khotanese general Fu Jayong, who was originally leaning on the carriage and dozing off, was immediately shaken violently, and let out a series of fierce coughing and wheezing, a pair of eyes widened/round, and he almost couldn't catch his breath, and his face instantly turned red.

Alas, my father is still old! Fu Kui, who was sitting diagonally opposite Fu Yanyong, was also alarmed by the fierce bumps of the carriage, and when he saw his old father's uncomfortable appearance, he hurriedly bent down and rushed forward, trying to pat his father on the back, smooth his breath, and relieve himself, but he didn't expect that such a simple action would save his life - just at the moment when Fu Kui just leaned forward, the six-handled horse lance whistled and pierced through the not too thick carriage, and crossed rapidly, and in an instant there was a bloody storm in the carriage, and the screams immediately became one.

"Father!" Fu Kui's martial arts are not good-looking, the reaction is extremely sensitive, as soon as the tip of the gun pierced the wall of the carriage, he had already sensed the approaching danger, desperately pounced on the floor of the carriage, and narrowly avoided a horse lance that should have been inserted into his back, as soon as he raised his head, he saw a bloody spear head piercing out of Fu Yanyong's chest, and his heart hurt greatly, and he suddenly roared.

"Let's go!" Fu Jayong fought all his life, extremely experienced in warfare, although he was suddenly attacked, but he soon understood that this matter was definitely aimed at the royal family members of Khotan and Shule, and saw Fu Kui rushing towards him, he immediately became anxious, struggled to grab the horse lance that penetrated his chest, glared angrily, roared, could not catch it in one breath, tilted his head, and the person was dead, but the hand holding the head of the gun never let go, no matter how hard the people outside the carriage worked, the gun would not move as if it had taken root.

"Ah......" Seeing that the family members in the carriage were killed and injured, and the old father died tragically in front of his eyes, Fu Kui was furious, roared wildly, kicked the already damaged carriage with one kick, a tiger leap, jumped out of the carriage, rolled on the spot, and the corner of his eyes swept to see the general situation - Tang Jun, it was the Tang officers and soldiers who escorted the convoy! At this time, not only the carriage where Fu Kui was located suffered, but also the remaining dozen or so carriages in the convoy were not much better, a group of Tang cavalry roared around the carriages, and constantly stabbed the horse lance in their hands into the carriage, in the chaos, the screams came and went, and the sound kept ringing.

Not good! Fu Kui, who was confused about the sudden massacre of the Tang army, suddenly felt a sharp sound of the tip of a gun piercing the air behind his head, and immediately woke up, not daring to think nonsense, and rolled forward in a panic, and hid at the bottom of the carriage, and narrowly avoided this fatal blow when he could not be attacked, and the Tang cavalry obviously did not expect Fu Kui's skills to be so agile, and fell into the air with all his strength, and the tip of the spear pierced the thick snow heavily and penetrated deep into the earth.

Fight! Although Fu Kui didn't understand what was going on in front of him, he knew that Tang Jun's actions made it clear that he didn't plan to leave a living mouth, and he was so angry that he couldn't care about much, and rolled out from under the carriage, grabbed the belt of the cavalryman who was busy pulling out his gun, roared "Tide", and with a force in his hand, he lifted the unlucky cavalryman off the horse, and then jumped with him, turned over on the horse, and rushed into the distance without looking back.

As soon as he saw someone break through and leave, Liu Erqi, the Tang military captain in charge of the escort mission, suddenly turned blue - this mission is a top-secret operation, Shangfeng has thousands of instructions, and there must not be the slightest negligence, it is necessary to ensure that the royal family members of Khotan and Shule are all wiped out, if there is a mistake, the face is definitely a severe punishment to the extreme, when he remembered the gloomy face of Xiao Dalong, the envoy of the state town guard when he took over the task, Liu Erqi couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly shouted: "Catch up and kill him." Don't go thief! A column of horses led several personal guards to chase after Fu Kui, who was fleeing frantically.

The wind was very strong, mixed with goose feathers and heavy snow hitting his face, which was extremely painful, but Fu Kui had no intention of thinking about it, and he didn't care whether the direction of his escape was a big desert that ate people and didn't spit out bones, so he just kicked the horse's belly desperately, galloping all the way forward, ** The four hooves of the war horse flew over, stirring up the thick snow on the ground and splashing in all directions.

Run, faster, faster! Listening to the sound of the rapid pursuit behind him, Fu Kui didn't even dare to turn his head back, lest it affect the speed of the ride, but there was a raging anger in his heart, and he couldn't wait to turn around and fight to the death with the Tang cavalry who came after him, but unfortunately he couldn't, not only because he was unarmed at this time, and he was not the opponent of the heavily armed Tang cavalry at all, but also because he wanted to stay behind to avenge the whole family, so although his lips had been bitten bloody, Fu Kui still did not slow down the speed of escape, Blindly ride the horse forward, and then forward.

Horses are all good horses, whether it is the war horse under Fu Kui's seat or the war horses of the Tang officers and soldiers who are chasing and killing behind are all war horses produced from the Western Regions, whether it is speed or endurance is a first-class choice, but in terms of horsemanship, the Tang officers and soldiers who are chasing and killing are obviously worse than Fu Kui, a general who grew up on horseback since he was smaller, and he is a latecomer, under this chase, the distance between each other is not only not reduced, but there is a tendency to pull farther and farther, if it is not for the leather jacket on Fu Kui's body, it is too much of a hindrance, It's long since he got away with it.

Fu Kui is busy fleeing without choosing a way, but Liu Erqi, who is chasing behind, is very clear about the direction - this way has already deviated from the business road, and he is about to enter the vast desert, in this blizzard rashly entering the desert, it is definitely difficult to escape death, he doesn't want to give his own life because of chasing Fu Kui, and then look at the back of the fleeing person in front of him has gradually been covered by the heavy wind and snow, his heart suddenly became anxious, gritted his teeth, untied the bow and arrow from his waist, pulled the string, and estimated the direction of the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, Suddenly let go of his hand, the feather arrow pierced through the snow curtain and whistled straight ahead, and in an instant, a scream of "sigh" came back with the wind, and Liu Erqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down his horse, and led several guards to gallop forward for a while, only to see a line of bright red blood dripping towards the depths of the desert, but he could no longer see the figure of the escapee.

Liu Erqi turned around at the beginning of the bloodstains, then looked up at the heavy snow, frowned and thought about it, and finally gave up the idea of continuing the pursuit, plus he was worried about the things at the end of the convoy, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, waved his hand, and ordered loudly: "Go, go back!" As soon as the words fell, he took the lead in beating the horse and galloped towards the way he came, the sound of the horse's hooves gradually dissipated in the distance, and after a few moments, a pile of small sand dunes covered with thick snow not far from the place where the blood began suddenly trembled, and a hand holding a short knife stretched out from the dune, and then a head came out, and it was Fu Kui who should have fled into the depths of the desert - as a character who grew up in the desert, Fu Kui knows the ruthlessness of the desert better than anyone else, and of course he will not be stupid enough to throw himself into the net- The arrow that Liu Erqi shot earlier didn't actually hit the target, but it was used by Fu Kui Haosheng - first screamed miserably, in order to confuse Liu Erqi's heart, making him mistakenly think that Fu Kui had been hit by the arrow, and then pulled out a short knife hanging on the saddle and stabbed the horse's buttocks, causing the horse to run forward in pain, leaving blood stains all the way, and he himself turned over and dismounted, and hid in the soft sand dunes covered with snow, stabbing a breathing channel with a dagger, relying on the cover of the blizzard, After all, it was concealed from the eyes and ears of the Tang officers and soldiers who were chased by Liu Erqi and others.

It's gone, it's all gone, both the "escorted" Tang Army and the "escorted" prisoners are all gone, except for the broken carriages and the mess all over the ground, only the blood stains that have long been covered by the heavy snow have turned brown. After Fu Kui returned to the trade route with great effort, he found that everyone was gone, leaving only the broken carriage on the trade road to be blown by the wind and snow.

"Why, why? Open your eyes, God, and see, why is this? Fu Kui stood in place for a long time, suddenly fell to his knees in the snow, howled loudly, and after a long period of weeping, he suddenly jumped up, raised his right hand, pointed to the sky where the snowflakes were drifting, and roared hoarsely: "Li Zhen Xiao'er, Lao Tzu swore to take the life of the dog to pay tribute to my father's heroic soul in the sky, you wait for Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yawn." Li Zhen, who was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army and looked down at the government affairs fold, suddenly had an itchy nose, and couldn't help but sneeze extremely loud, which was so loud that he was startled.

Dog's day, who is scolding Lao Tzu behind his back again, what a fucking bad luck! Li Zhen glanced at the government affairs folds that were blown all over the ground by his own sneezing, shook his head with a wry smile, and had no intention of continuing to look at it, just got up, and planned to relax his muscles and bones, when he saw Gao Heng and Ying Da probing their heads at the door of the tent, they suddenly laughed, and said calmly: "Gao Heng, what are you doing at the door?" Have you done your homework, huh? ”

Gao Heng has been to Li Zhen's side as a personal guard since he recovered from his injury, of course, this personal guard is just a false title, in fact, he followed Li Zhen to learn art, in addition to the routine practice of marksmanship, archery, horsemanship, etc., every day, he also had to learn martial arts, not to mention, there are a lot of "homework" every night - basically some combat case analysis and other things to complete, regardless of whether it is marching or camping, this homework has to be handed in, as long as it is wrong, it will be punished, can torture Gao Heng, but fortunately, Gao Heng has been able to endure hardships since he was a child, and this can be regarded as surviving. Gao Heng came to hand in his homework before, but after chatting with most of the eagles, he heard an earth-shattering sound in the tent, and was surprised, he was caught by Li Zhen as soon as he put his head into the tent, how dare he shirk, hurriedly lifted the curtain and strode into the tent, bowed and saluted: "If you go back to Your Highness, the student has completed your homework, please take a look." ”

"Uh-huh." Li Zhen heard Gao Heng say this, but some people didn't believe it, without him, Li Zhen gave Gao Heng the task of today's march is to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping in terms of tactical command, this is a big topic, according to the time limit given by Li Zhen is to complete it within five days, it has only been half a day, Gao Heng dared to come to hand in his homework, which really made Li Zhen very suspicious, but he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and said: "Take it." ”

"Yes." Gao Heng replied respectfully, took out several rolled pieces of paper from his arms, handed them to Li Zhen with both hands, and then stepped aside and leaned over to clean up the documents that were scattered on the ground by Li Zhen's sneezing.

Gao Heng came from a slightly cold background, although he had studied with the master in the village for a few years, he was a beginner in writing and ink, and he could make do with reading military books and writing military articles, but he was really not good at writing with one hand, although he was forced by Li Zhen to practice the post, but after all, the time is still short, and this word is still not very good, at least in the eyes of Li Zhen, who has a high degree of calligraphy attainment, Gao Heng's words can only be scored at most about 20 points according to 100 points, but Li Zhen appreciates the tenacity and understanding of this son, so he will not be too demanding, of course, Every time I see Gao Heng's fart words, I can't help frowning.

"Polemics and Non-Wars"? Oh, good guy, this is such a big topic, are you very fat! Li Zhen opened the paper and took a look, and found that the topic was terrifyingly big, and it was a joy immediately, regardless of whether Gao Heng's words were ugly or not, he would just look at the future, and this look can be seen to be interested - the Battle of Changping has long been analyzed by later generations of war artists, and it is generally said that Zhao Kuo is stubborn and self-serving, and insists on changing Lian Po's way of sticking to it, thus making mistakes in decision-making, and commanding misalignment on the battle array, which led to the annihilation of the whole army. But at the beginning of this article, Gao Heng pointed out that Lian Po also made a fatal mistake, otherwise, it would not be Zhao Kuo's turn to come to power, and he could defeat or even completely annihilate the Qin army, the reason for which is that the Qin army is strong and strong in strict military discipline, the soldiers use their lives, and there is no opponent in the world at that time to fight in the army array, which can be broken by non-frontal combat, therefore, Lian Po's defense is a desirable strategy, but Lian Po has forgotten the inherent advantages of the Zhao army while holding on - cavalry, especially light cavalry, which comes and goes like the wind - Since Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry, Zhao Guozhi's light cavalry is definitely the first strong force in the Warring States period in terms of quantity and quality, that is, even the strong Hun cavalry was once the defeated general of the Zhao cavalry, at that time, the Qin army is far away from the country, and it is the core of the attack and defense with the chariot soldiers, its mobility and battlefield adaptability are far inferior to the Zhao army's light cavalry, the Zhao army can use the mobility and flexibility of the light cavalry troops to attack the Qin army's logistics supply line, forcing the enemy to withdraw due to lack of food and grass, and then use the light cavalry as the main force to cover it, When you can defeat the Qin army; It is also possible to send light cavalry troops to harass the Qin army, lure the enemy deep, and drag down the Qin army in the movement, so as to create a favorable opportunity for the main force to outflank or set up an ambush, as for Zhao Kuo's choice of Changping to start a head-on decisive battle with the Qin army in such a flat place, there is no other explanation except that Zhao Kuo is a fool.

Hehe, although this article is suspected of opportunism, it is also an extraordinary shining point, and it is not in vain that Lao Tzu has worked so hard to cultivate it. Li Zhen finished reading Gao Heng's writing, although it seemed immature, but it had some connotations, smiled, just thought about pointing out a few mistakes in the use of cavalry in Gao Heng's text, suddenly moved in his heart, remembered one thing, immediately stopped, frowned and fell into contemplation, causing Gao Heng to think that his article was a big oolong, and he stood aside in a daze, his face was full of worry......
