New Year's Day struggled to wake up from a dream.

Xiaodou blinked blankly, and subconsciously wanted to drill under the pillow, but only touched the cold futon.

She forgot that Xiao Changqi had already gone to Tongzhou.

New Year's Day sighed softly, pulled the small quilt twice, and rolled into the quilt slowly.

Close your eyes and go back to sleep.

On the fifth day, Xiao Changqi and his entourage finally arrived in Tongzhou.

Luo Ying, the deputy general guarding Tongzhou, opened the city gate and came out to greet him, and when he saw Xiao Changqi, he immediately knelt down and hugged his fists: "Lord Wang, you are finally here, the Li Dan barbarians have called out the battle several times outside the city, but Lord Wang, you have not yet arrived, and the last general will not dare to act at will, so he has not opened the city gate to fight." ”

Li Dan was savage and cruel in nature, and when he saw that the soldiers defending the city did not go out of the city to meet the battle, he thought that the Tongzhou army was afraid of them, and arrogantly shouted outside the city for a few days, and finally even pulled out the slaves they plundered in Daying and slashed them, and even raped some women in front of the soldiers defending the city.

In the past few days, the soldiers have been suffocated, and they just want to open the city gate immediately and cut off the heads of the Li Dan soldiers and hang them on the city gate.

But the army has military discipline, no matter how angry they are, the soldiers still remember the military orders and did not open the city gate to meet the enemy without authorization.

Now that Xiao Changqi has arrived, all the soldiers are ready to move, and their anger has turned into war.

"How's it going?" Xiao Changqi handed over the horse that had been running day and night for several days and nights to the soldiers, and said in a cold voice as he walked towards the city wall.

"Li Dan's main commander this time is Huyanlun, and he is also our old opponent, he brought 50,000 elite soldiers this time, before you came, he led people to attack several times, but we were all repulsed."

Climbed the city wall and looked into the distance, and sure enough, more than ten miles outside the city were Li Dan's tents.

"Who else is with you?"

"There is also Li Dan's third prince, Hu Yanye."

Speaking of which, Hu Yanlun is still Hu Yanye's uncle.

But Li Dan's royal family has always been a strong man who speaks, and Hu Yanye is a straw bale, and the reason why Hu Yanlun agreed to let Hu Yanye follow him to lead the army to fight is also because he doesn't look down on this nephew.

"Hu Yanye was thrown by his elder brothers, and the sword was shot without eyes, and this waste is better off dying on the battlefield." Luo Ying continued, "But Hu Yanye is not a fool, he has been hiding in the camp since the beginning of the war, Hu Yanlun looks down on him, and he does not ask him to lead troops to meet the battle. ”

From this point of view, this third prince is actually not a fool.

Maybe it's just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

"I'll talk about it later." After Xiao Changqi observed for a while, he turned around and left the city wall.

Xiao Changqi has his own mansion in Tongzhou, and Xiao Yan, as a supervisor, naturally lives in the official mansion in Tongzhou.

"Seventh brother, is there anything I can do?" Before parting, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke.

Before Xiao Changqi could express his position, Sun saw that he was worried and said first: "Fifth prince, your injuries have not healed, and the road has been bumpy for a few days, it is better to rest early." ”

Xiao Yan is a smart person, and he can see that they have something to discuss, but it is inconvenient for him to know.

He didn't dwell on it anymore, and his chin agreed, "That's good." ”

Xiao Changqi's mansion in Tongzhou is not a palace, but a general's mansion, and the soldiers call Xiao Changqi more often than the prince.

"You didn't cause trouble to the prince in Beijing, did you?" Luo Ying patted his younger brother Luo Feng on the shoulder and said.

That's right.

Luo Ying and Luo Feng are brothers.

is also Xiao Changqi's right-hand man.

Luo Feng raised his eyebrows: "Of course not." ”

"I heard that the prince raised a bird, is it still alive?" Luo Ying asked again.

Sun Jianchou looked back at Luo Ying when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuanyuan is alive better than you." ”
