Chapter 172: Mao Sui recommended himself
The north wind rolls up snowflakes in the sky, and the tent has a layer of felt cloth to resist the invasion of the north wind. But the cold wind still came in through the cracks in the curtain, and the damp cold air returned from the ground.
Liu Ye took off his armor, wrapped the quilt tightly, and covered the quilt with body heat. The weather in Chang'an, my hometown, is also cold at this time, but it will not drip into ice.
Liu Ye entered the dreamland with the yearning for his hometown, and in the dream he flew across the mountain, he and Jiang Yao went to the Yuan Festival to enjoy the lanterns, the fireworks bloomed, and the sound of ping-pong sounded.
Liu Ye opened his eyes, and it turned out to be the sound of gongs beating outside, which was confused with dreams.
The next morning, when the soldiers stepped out of the camp, the snow was still falling, and the snow on the ground was already a little thicker.
The war horse has leggings on its legs, warm protective gear on its body, and frost on its exposed skin.
Thousands of miles of ice and snow drifted overnight.
The team entered Zhenwu City at noon on the fourth day. This battle is not only to defeat Usuke, but also to ensure that Princess Taihe can be returned safe and sound.
Li Zhongshun, the envoy of Zhenwu Festival, accompanied Shi Xiong and others to lunch, and climbed the city tower to observe the enemy's situation.
The dome outside Zhenwu City is like clouds in the sky scattered on the grassland. The Uighurs are a people who worship force, and there is a proverb among the Uighurs that a boy who is more than the height of a horsewhip is a warrior when he steps on a war horse.
The dome stretches for dozens of miles, and Wujie's claim of 100,000 soldiers is not groundless.
Shi Xiong's face was solemn, he led three thousand cavalry as the vanguard, if he shot his horse out of the city and confronted Wusuke, three thousand people would not be enough to see even if one was ten.
It's much easier to do things without the factor of Taihe Princess, and Wujie is consuming, and it's okay to go out of the city to practice, and see who can consume whom!
The key to the problem is Princess Taihe, she is a trump card held by Usuke in his hand.
For the sake of the princess's face, the saint gave her food and winter clothes, and Wu Jie took the sheep wherever he passed, and there was food and drink. Wherever the dome moves, there is home, and the nomads live in pursuit of water and grass, and migration is not a thing.
For example, there is a wolf at the door of the house, and it does not bite people. Usuke is the wolf, and the wolf who is not greedy enough.
The envoy pointed to dozens of cars wrapped in thick felt, "Look at that,"
Shi Xiong followed his finger, and there were people in red and green walking around the car. "Is that a princess?"
The envoy nodded, "I sent someone to inquire." ”
Princess Taihe returned to her homeland, but as a Uighur Kedun, she was used by Usuke as a bargaining chip to put pressure on the Tang Dynasty.
On the opposite side is Zhenwu City, the tall city wall is like an insurmountable moat, lying in front of Princess Taihe.
As Shi Xiong's personal bodyguard, Liu Ye had the honor to attend the core meeting. The Jiedu Mansion is brightly lit, and everyone is discussing a topic, and the big war is imminent, so get in touch with the princess as soon as possible.
The people sent to contact the princess must have the courage and courage not to enter the tiger's den to get the tiger's son. It is necessary to deliver the news without alarming Usuke. So as not to startle the snake, let him strengthen the vigilance and guardianship of the princess.
The requirements for this candidate are quite high, not only to be smart and alert, but also to be courageous, but also to have excellent martial arts and be able to protect himself.
Entering the enemy camp alone and going to report to Princess Taihe is a big deal.
All parties were pondering the right candidate, and the festival made Li Zhongshun sit in the center of the lobby, and the other generals were seated on either side. Willow Leaf and the other soldiers stood at the foot of the lobby steps.
A clear and bright voice broke the silence, and Liu Ye bowed down to ask for instructions, "My subordinates are willing to go." ”
"Who are you? Come forward and talk back. Li Zhongshun ordered, and Liu Ye stepped up the steps and calmly raised his head to look ahead.
"He's my bodyguard, Willow." Shi Xiong introduced to everyone that he did not drink the willow leaves.
Li Zhongshun, Wang Feng, Zhu Xie Chixin, Tuoba and others focused their eyes on Liu Ye. The young man in front of him is prosperous, his gestures are generous, and the young man's eyes are shining with a pair of candles.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, his eyes did not dodge and avoid. It is not easy for a little soldier to have such a demeanor, and everyone praises it.
"Do you know it's dangerous?" Shi Xiong asked, and everyone knew that Shi Xiong agreed with him to go.
"The subordinates know that this action is very important, and the subordinates are willing to lead the army, and the subordinates will do their best to complete the task."
"Send another man to help him go to the enemy camp." ”
Liu Ye bowed down and retorted, "With all due respect, if you contact the princess, the more hidden the better, and one more person will be exposed." From the perspective of subordinates, whether the task can be completed is not the number of people, but the people who go to carry out the task, whether the plan is well formulated or not. ”
Li Zhongshun's subordinates shouted, "Presumptuous, dare to be rude to adults!" ”
"The villain is frightened and offends the adult." Liu Ye said this, but there was not the slightest fear on his face. Seeing this, everyone secretly praised this soldier for his courage.
Li Zhongshun wanted to try her again, so he lowered his face and said, "This official speaks, you little soldier dares to put your beak, not afraid that this official will punish you for the crime of disrespect?" ”
Liu Ye bowed down and replied calmly, "Since the villain has recommended himself to go, he will definitely do his best to ensure that the task is completed." The villain does not hesitate to offend the adult, and he is working hard to complete the task! If a subordinate respects a great person, if he doesn't even have the courage to express his opinion because he respects an important person, how can an adult trust the task to such a subordinate with confidence? ”
Li Zhongshun couldn't help but laugh when she spoke, and everyone else laughed, her courage and astuteness had been shown in front of everyone.
Everyone saw her as interesting, Zhu Xie stepped forward with a red heart, personally helped her, put his hands on her shoulders, secretly exerted his wrists, and muttered in his mouth, "Little brother, please get up quickly." ”
Zhu Xie is tall and strong, and can split two willow leaves. Everyone here is battle-hardened and has fought bloody battles to make military achievements. Seeing Zhu Xie's intentions, he wanted to test the willow leaves.
How to recruit a recruit with raw melons and eggs? Everyone was worried that under Zhu Xie's generous palm, would Liu Ye's thin shoulders be misaligned?
Dude, you really want to try me, okay, I'll let you see and see. Liu Ye was lucky, looked up and smiled, and got up neatly.
Zhu Xie Chixin only felt a force coming down the palm of his hand, and he couldn't help but take a step back while letting go of his hand.
"Thank you, General, for taking care of you." Liu Ye bowed down and deeply felt at Zhu Xie's heart.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, not only got rid of the shackles of Zhu Xie's red heart, but also made him untenable, so handsome kung fu.
Liu Ye looked at everyone's expressions, she still had reservations, and she didn't want to lose Zhu Xie's face. Zhu Xie's heart is Tancheng, "Little brother agrees." Laughing and sitting back.
When Shi Xiong saw Liu Ye's performance, he was happier than showing his face. Li Zhongshun looked at Shi Xiong, "There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals.
Shi Xiong is also not modest, "According to the degree of opinion..."
"Just let her go."
"Subordinates obey." Willow Leaf led the order to step aside.
Back at the camp, Yanagi told Shi Xiong about the plan. Shi Xiong didn't say anything. He just ordered someone to fetch water to take a bath, put the bath bucket into the bedroom, and there was a pot of charcoal fire on the ground.
The willow leaves are comfortable to soak in a hot bath, the outside drips into ice, and the house is baked by charcoal, soaked in hot water, warm as spring.
