In December of the third year of the Qing Dynasty of the Great Qi River, the wind was blowing strongly, the ice and snow were all over the ground, and the cold was pressing.

In Jinyang City, Duan Shao and Gu Xian, the champion general, were discussing military affairs.

Although it was cold and windy outside, the room was very warm, the fire was blazing, reflecting the faces of the two, the crackling sound of burning wood was constantly sounding, and the faint smoke and fire were in the air.

It was almost noon, a royal envoy arrived at Pegasus and sent the emperor's secret decree to Duan Shao.

After reading it, Duan Shao said to Gu Xian: "The emperor ordered us to rush to help." You lead a large army to stay here in case of Turks, and I will take 10,000 cavalry to Luoyang. ”

Gu Xian stood up suddenly, hugged his fists and said, "Brother Duan, let the junior brother go." ”

"Nope." Duan Shao shook his head. "The Zhou army came with the strength of the country, the king of Lanling County and General Hu Lu have already reinforced Luoyang, but it is difficult to advance an inch, if it is not for the urgency of the situation, the emperor will not order me to lead troops to support. For our Qi country, the Turks look fierce, but in fact, it is just a disease of scabies, and the Zhou country is a big problem, and I must personally lead the army to protect Luoyang. Besides, the same is true of the emperor's will, and I can't disobey it. ”

Gu Xian was not only his friend, but also his subordinate, so he naturally would not resist his order, so he no longer insisted: "Brother Duan wants to lead as many people as he wants, and the younger brother will immediately dispatch him." ”

It has been two months since the Zhou army invaded the east, and when Emperor Gao Cheng of Qi issued a secret decree to discuss countermeasures with Duan Shao, he had already thought about it repeatedly, and then thought about it again, and only said after a while: "I led 10,000 elite horsemen to gallop to Luoyang." ”

"Yes." Gu Xian clenched his fists to receive the order, turned around and hurried away.

Duan Shao sat back and pondered the current situation.

More than three months ago, the Turkic army of 100,000 invaded the south, attacked Youzhou, and broke through the Great Wall, burning and looting on a large scale. Duan Shao led the army to attack the Turks quickly and drove them back to the outside of the fortress. However, the Turkic troops were still stationed in Saibei and continued to mobilize more troops in an attempt to invade Youzhou again. Duan Shao was stationed in Jinyang to prevent the Turks.

Prior to this, Emperor Qi ignored Duan Shao's opposition and sent back the mother and aunt of Sima Yuwenhu, who was actually in charge of the Zhou state, hoping to exchange Yuwenhu's gratitude and no longer attack Qi. Who knew that Yuwen Hu did not appreciate it, and soon mobilized a large army across the country, including the 24th Army of the Guanzhong Prefecture under the command of the Six Pillars and the 12 Great Generals, and the 200,000 guards of the left and right compartments under the Prime Minister's Mansion, and went east out of Tongguan to crusade against the Qi State.

In November, Zhou Guoxiao's general Chi Hui led 100,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard to besiege Luoyang, but encountered stubborn resistance from the defenders and could not be attacked for a long time.

Seeing that the situation in Luoyang was critical, Emperor Qi immediately sent Da Situ Hu Luguang and Wang Gaosu of Lanling County to lead troops to rescue. However, the Zhou army was strong, and after the two led the army to cross the Yellow River, they were blocked in the mountains and struggled. Emperor Qi was even more anxious, so he sent a secret edict to Duan Shao: "Luoyang is in danger, I want to save it with Aiqing, but the Turks are in the north, and they have to guard against it, I don't know what Aiqing wants?" ”

Duan Shao immediately wrote a letter, carefully analyzed the current situation, and believed that the lesser of two evils, the Great Wall was strong enough to resist the Turkic attack, and the top priority was to relieve the siege of Luoyang, and implored him to lead the army south to rescue.

Now, the emperor's secret decree came so quickly, it can be seen that as soon as he received his letter, he issued the decree, and the situation in Luoyang was already extremely critical.

He was thinking about it, when suddenly a thin figure came through the door and said excitedly, "Father-in-law, I will also go with you." ”

Duan Shao raised his eyes, immediately laughed, and beckoned to him happily: "Huan'er, come here." ”

This person is Gu Xian's daughter Gu Huan, who is only sixteen years old this year, but she has been following her father in the bloody battle for two years. She likes to dress up as a man, has a cheerful personality, and is also superb in martial arts, and over time, people who know that she is a girl often forget this, and they always think that she is a boy when they don't know that she is a daughter.

Duan Shao watched Gu Huan run to his side excitedly, shouting "I'm going", his anxious mood relaxed a lot, and asked lovingly, "Where are you going?" ”

Gu Huan smiled and said, "I'll go to Luoyang with you." ”

Duan Shao couldn't help but raise his hand, touched her head with a tasseled helmet affectionately, and said with a smile: "You still stay here and follow your father." ”

"No, no." Gu Huan shouted a little tricky. "I want to go with my father-in-law to save Luoyang."

Duan Shao thought for a while, and then said, "Does your father agree with you to go with me?" ”

"He doesn't object." Gu Huan smiled. "My dad loves me the most, I said I wanted to go with you, and he agreed."

Duan Shao looked at her beautiful little face full of heroism, couldn't help but nod appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Giving birth to a daughter should be like a little Gu Huan." ”

Gu Huan immediately understood that he agreed to his request, and immediately cheered: "I'll go tell Dad." And he ran away.

Duan Shao watched her figure disappear outside the door, feeling very happy, and it seemed that the critical war was not so worrying.

Gu Huan ran back to his room, excitedly packed his things, and prepared to go on the expedition.

After waiting for seven years, she practiced riding and archery hard and galloped on the battlefield with her father, in fact, just to wait for this day to come.

Seven years ago, as a modern person living in the early 21st century, she was killed instantly when she was hit by a flying rock while trying to save her two children when she was hit by a landslide on her way to see the project site.

However, after a long period of darkness, she woke up again, but was surprised to find that she had borrowed her body to resurrect her soul and traveled to the Northern Qi at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and became the pearl of a general's palm, named Gu Huan.

In Hyundai, she is the head of the strategic planning department of a well-known real estate group, talented, brave and resourceful, although very young, she has won the trust of the top management and has been promoted quickly. Due to the needs of her work, she is well-read and likes to study everything, including history and geography, so she is no stranger to this period. However, the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period was quite chaotic, and she only knew some famous figures, and she had never heard of her father Gu Xian in this life.

Gu Xian is a general under Duan Shao's account, both wise and brave, best at fighting against the Turkic iron cavalry, and is famous inside and outside the Great Wall. He married at the age of eighteen, and two years later his beloved wife died of childbirth, but his daughter was lucky not to die, but she was stupid because she had been suffocating in her mother's womb for too long. Gu Xian was full of grief, he had no dislike for his daughter, he always loved the treasure, cared for her, and named her Gu Huan, hoping that she would be happy and carefree all her life.

Gu Huan has always been sick and crooked, and when he was nine years old, he had a serious illness and a high fever that did not go away for five days and five nights. At that time, the Khitan attacked and killed the Rouran Khan Iron Raid, and then invaded the border fortress of Qi State, the emperor mobilized a large army to the north, and Gu Xian led the army to fight bloodily on the front line, not only could not rush back, but even the message could not be conveyed.

The housekeeper of the General's Mansion and Gu Huan's nurse invited many doctors, all of whom said that they could not be saved, and instructed them to prepare for the aftermath, but unexpectedly, Gu Huan woke up after a short period of breath, and the whole person changed significantly. Although she was at a loss about what was happening in front of her, she suddenly realized it under the detailed explanation of the housekeeper and the nurse and the personal maid of the Gu Mansion, and soon understood, and then showed a strong desire for knowledge, and under the guidance of the housekeeper, she learned to read and write, and made rapid progress.

When the battle was won, Gu Xian got the news. He couldn't believe it, and when he mentioned it to his friend Duan Shao, he thought it was a miracle.

The army returned to the court, Gu Xian took leave, and hurried back to Xinyang Mansion, and the daughter he saw was indeed no longer the muddy and demented appearance she used to be. She was smart, lively and lovely, and she was very affectionate when she saw this young father, asking long and short questions, and then pestering him to learn the martial arts of riding and archery and killing enemies in battle.

Twenty-nine-year-old Gu Xian was overjoyed, and he was obedient to this lost daughter, but when he heard that she wanted to learn riding and shooting, he immediately refused: "My daughter's family can learn some knitting women's red qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you don't need to learn to dance knives and guns." ”

Gu Huan was very angry and kept stalking. She was articulate and often speechless, so she had to invite Duan Shao and ask him to help persuade her daughter.

Duan Shao's resourcefulness is known to the world, and after listening to Gu Xian's words, he couldn't help laughing: "Huan'er looks so cute? That's great. ”

Gu Xian hurriedly asked the servant to summon Gu Huan out.

Gu Huan was writing an "ultimatum" in the room, and as soon as he heard his father's call, he immediately walked to the front hall angrily and put the piece of paper in front of his father.

When Gu Xian saw it, he couldn't help but sigh, and handed it to Duan Shao: "Brother Duan, look, look, this kid is simply ...... Alas...... "If you have regrets, you will be happy."

Duan Shao took it with a smile and looked at the four lines of strong words on the note: "The child is determined to go out of the countryside, and he vows not to return if he can't learn to become famous." Why bury bones, there are green mountains everywhere in life. ”

In just twenty-eight words, a wave of pride came to his face, and Duan Shao couldn't help but praise: "Well written." ”

When Gu Huan heard this, he immediately turned his anger into joy, quickly ran to Duan Shao's side, and asked with a hippie smile: "Uncle Gui's surname?" ”

Gu Xian couldn't help but shouted: "Huan'er, don't be unreasonable. ”

Gu Huan glanced at him: "Why am I unreasonable?" Which word is unreasonable? ”

Gu Xian was speechless.

Duan Shao liked this child with an aura very much, and said with a smile: "My name is Duan Shao." ”

When Gu Huan heard that it was him, his face was immediately full of joy, he dragged the sleeves of his robe and shook it from side to side, and begged: "Uncle Duan, is it good for you to teach me Wen Taowu?" Is it okay to let my dad teach me martial arts? You're my father's boss, and if you order him, he'll listen. ”

When Gu Xian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Brother, your daughter is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go, congratulations." Duan Shao looked at the little girl in front of him happily and said half-jokingly. "Huan'er, be Uncle Duan's daughter-in-law."

Gu Huan was stunned, and then shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, I want to marry someone I like in the future." ”

Gu Xian saw that this daughter was open-mouthed, his face turned red first, and he said to Duan Shao: "Brother Duan, don't listen to her, if Brother Duan is really interested, we can settle this family business first." ”

Gu Huan was very annoyed, but he didn't refuse directly, he just rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Duan, do I recognize you as my father-in-law?" ”

Duan Shao only has three sons, and he also likes this eccentric girl in his heart, so he smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Okay, I'll recognize you as a daughter." ”

Gu Huan escaped, clapping his hands while looking at the young father next to him.

Gu Xian was very helpless, but he was also very happy, so he said: "Since your father-in-law agreed, I will teach you." ”

Gu Huan happily ran over, took his father's hand, and said repeatedly, "Thank you, Daddy." ”

Gu Xian looked at his daughter, holding her hand with one hand, and gently stroking her hair with the other, his affection was beyond words.

Duan Shao looked at them and said appreciatively: "Giving birth to a daughter should be like a little Gu Huan." ”

Since then, Gu Huan has been taught by Duan Shao and Gu Xian, cultivating both civil and military, and entering the realm quickly.

In the past few years, the national strength of Qi has declined rapidly, while the neighboring Zhou State and the Turks have become stronger and stronger, and the border wars have continued.

Gu Huan likes to dress as a man, and as his father's personal soldier, he can often accompany his father.

When she was fourteen years old, Gu Xian was once trapped in the enemy's formation, the situation was critical, Gu Huan picked up a knife and mounted a horse, leading more than 100 personal soldiers sent by Gu Xian to her to fight into the encirclement. Since then, Gu Huan has followed his father to the battlefield and killed the enemy side by side. When Duan Shao found out, he praised it greatly.

On the surface, Gu Huan is reluctant, this is killing the enemy to serve the country, but in fact, she is just accumulating experience and qualifications. When the Zhou army besieged Luoyang, she could justifiably go to the rescue with Duan Shao, so that she could witness the peerless demeanor of the famous general.

Now, that day has finally arrived.

She packed up her belongings, checked her double knives and bow and arrows, and then walked out of the door, facing the cold wind, looked at the southern sky, and said with a smile: "King Lanling, I'm here." ”
