Chapter 14: Trekking through Mountains and Waters

From Yongzhou to the territory of Liao, you need to climb over the mountains and mountains, and travel a long distance.

Su Mi was sitting in a car at this time, wearing a white scribe's shirt, completely dressed as a literati for a courtier and a medical officer, anyone who looked would only see a young man with ordinary eyebrows and indifferent facial features, but a small piece of plaster was attached to his chin, as if he had suffered a slight injury.

She insisted on going out with the army this time, and Ni Tingxuan did not resist her in the end.

After coming to her senses, Su Mi's condition was surprisingly good, and the conditioning prescription she prescribed for herself, the famous doctors in Yongzhou couldn't find the slightest flaw after consulting it several times, and they admired it repeatedly.

Ni Tingxuan also had to admit that Su Mi's medical skills were excellent, and it was precisely with this reason that Su Mi had one more reason to persuade him to let her follow the expedition.

She couldn't bear to be left in Yongzhou like that, she could only look at the sky boredly every day, and only learn about the situation and war situation in the world from the information that came from time to time. The feeling of powerlessness that she could do nothing but wait would drive her mad with anxiety. All her important people are now in this battle situation, they are all pawns in the game, and they will rise and fall at any time due to changes in the situation, and she is naturally no exception.

Moreover, if there is a chance, she hopes to be able to do her part, even if that strength is so meager, she hopes to end this war as soon as possible, so that the Liao people can withdraw as soon as possible, even if the war can end early, just one day, countless people will be saved because of this.

However, this time the laborers went on an expedition and traveled thousands of miles. Of course, there can't be a woman with the army. So Su Mi temporarily changed to men's clothing.

At this time, she was sitting in the back of the car carrying the grain axle, following the medical officers walking together.

"Over the mountain in front of you, it is the border, where is the first checkpoint of the Liao army. Sitting next to Su Mi was an old man with a gray beard, who looked up at the mountains and said.

This energetic old man is the chief medical officer of the army this time, his name is Mo Qin, and he is a skilled doctor. It is quite prestigious in Yongzhou. The last time Su Mi fell ill, he was in charge of healing.

He is also the only person in the team of military doctors who knows Su Mi's true face.

As early as when Yongzhou treated Su Mi. He was shocked and impressed by Su Mi's medical skills, and Su Mi also had great respect for this kind and plain old man who was as plain as the breeze and the bright moon. At this time, the two walked all the way, discussing their medical skills from time to time, although Su Mi was rich in knowledge, but all his medical skills came from books and the teachings of his father-in-law. There are few opportunities for hands-on practice, and Mo Chin's decades of medical experience are far beyond her. After discussing and talking all the way, Su Mi benefited a lot, and the two of them could be regarded as friends who had forgotten their years.

The army continued to march, and after listening to Mo Qin's words, Su Mi looked up, and on the endless mountain road, the long line became the size of a team of ants. There is no end in sight.

Along the way, many traces of the road are fresh and clear, at a glance you know that it has just been excavated, want to come to this road, or thanks to the Liao army to open up the land, there is such a smooth and convenient now. If it was before, I'm afraid it would be even more difficult to walk.

"War is about to start. Su Mi sighed lightly.

Inadvertently, she felt something cold burrowing into her neck, which made her shiver.

When I looked up, I was surprised to find that I didn't know when it started, but it was snowing.

Counting the days, the first snow of the year came really late, Su Mi looked up at the sky, and heavy dark clouds piled up in the sky. Gloomy and gloomy. As if to foreshadow the coming war. It was so pressure that people's mood was also dull.

It's winter again.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The army had crossed the last mountain range, and it was already dusk. The army was stationed on the spot. Immediately, an accompanying herald came over and invited Su Mi to go to the commander's tent.

Su Mi followed behind the herald, walked through the camp, and walked towards the camp of Shuai.

Ni Tingxuan was worried that as a woman, it would be inconvenient for her to live with those male medical officers who did not know the truth, so when she set up camp, she was always asked to go to his camp to rest.

Su Mi originally wanted to refuse, but in the camp of the rear axis heavy medical officer, the news was closed, and she was slow to respond to the battle in the front, and although she had Mo Qin around to take care of her, she was indeed inconvenient as a woman, and finally obeyed the arrangement.

Fortunately, she was disguised as a man at this time, and her appearance was extremely ordinary, and Ni Tingxuan was the commander-in-chief, and it made sense that there was a military doctor in the camp at any time. Otherwise, those imaginative generals may mistake themselves for prostitutes.

Thinking of the strange and inquiring eyes of the generals he saw at the beginning, Su Mi sighed helplessly.

lifted the curtain and entered the camp, but saw Ni Tingxuan, Dou Feng and several other generals looking at the map, not knowing what to discuss.

“…… Therefore, as long as you can attack here, you will definitely be able to annihilate the Liao army on the spot with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying. Ni Tingxuan smiled, confident and flamboyant. The last rays of the setting sun spilled in obliquely through the cracks in the curtains, and the faint golden light shimmered on his handsome and profound countenance.

Su Mi looked at him, a little stunned, she never knew that he still had such a side, the battlefield would indeed change a man, maybe war would naturally make them look bright.

Hearing the sound, they looked up and saw that it was Su Mi who came in, and several people were already accustomed to the medical officer next to the commander, and they lowered their heads indifferently to continue to discuss the war.

Ni Tingxuan nodded to her with a smile.

As soon as Su Mi signaled, he went straight into the inner tent.

I heard the voices of several people talking outside, and I heard "...... intermittently. Encirclement...... Breakthrough...... If you come across an ambush here...... Take advantage of words like ......".

Su Mi was sleepy, although the military doctors all enjoyed the privilege of sitting on the axle load car. She didn't have to walk on foot, but running around all day from early morning to dusk was also a big test of her physical strength, and she yawned a few times, and before she knew it, she fell asleep on the bookcase.

I don't know how long I slept, Su Mi woke up dimly, but found that she didn't know when she slept on the bed, she sat up. The object on his body slid down. Su Mi looked down and saw that it was a soft blanket.

When did he come in? I slept so deeply!

Su Mi lifted the blanket. How long have I been asleep.

There was silence outside, and it seemed that the generals had finished their deliberations and dispersed.

Su Mi lifted the curtain of the inner tent and walked out, but saw Ni Tingxuan alone holding a candle, looking at the map in front of him.

He looked up at the sound of the curtains. Under the warm candle flame, the profound facial features became softer, and the figure in front of her made Su Mi feel a kind of warmth in her heart for no reason, just like the thin blanket that had just been covered on her body, soft and warm.

A faint smile appeared on his face, and he asked gently, "Why did you wake up, we were arguing with you just now, right?" ”

"Nope. Su Mi shook her head, and she stepped forward. Looking closely, his eyes were faintly tired and his face was much haggard because of the urgent march and the endless discussion and planning all night.

Approaching the candle flame, Su Mi looked at the hanging map, "Where are you now?" Is there any news coming from behind? ”

"Nope. Ni Tingxuan shook his head and raised the candle flame high for Su Mi to see.

"The territory we have entered now is also a remote area in the country of the Liao people. Fortunately, the Liao army's current garrison is a lot empty, and it seems that too many troops have been transferred to the front line. Ni Tingxuan pointed to the map and explained to Su Mi.

Su Mi looked at the map in front of him, and the countless mountains and rivers on it, and the cities on the plains had all turned into abstract text symbols. Several large red arrows marked the direction of the current forces.

This bright red color is really appropriate, Su Mi sighed lightly. These teams move forward or backward with each step. It is all to be paved with countless blood, surrounding these seemingly empty symbols. How many lives are lost unconsciously?

Her gaze shifted to the realm in the upper left of the map,

Ni Tingxuan saw her gaze, and his eyes followed to that side, and his face unconsciously showed a look of trance and nostalgia, half loud, smiled bitterly, and explained: "This is the soldiers and horses originally stationed in Juyu Pass, and now they have retreated to the Laizhou area. ”

Su Mi looked at the map, Laizhou is one of the extremely rich areas of Daqi, and most importantly, he is the foundation of the rise of Qi, ninety-seven years ago, the first emperor of Qi was founded there and called the emperor, although later opened up the territory and made contributions, it has long ceased to be based there, but Laizhou is still the nominal root of Daqi after all. Now that Ge Chengming and Mu Qinghan have retreated there, this move is of great significance, and it must have been Mr. Ge's idea.

Only, what would he think? Su Mi turned his head, and Ni Tingxuan's body turned slightly sideways, so that Su Mi couldn't see his expression clearly, and only heard a kind of sourness and bitterness hidden under the calm from his tone. Two people who were originally intimate with each other have now begun to calculate and speculate on each other for the forces they belong to. Every move between the two is related to the situation in the whole world.

Back then, when the two of them were still joking and laughing in Tianxiang Garden, who would have thought that just a few years later, the two young guards would become the key figures who held heavy troops and decided the direction of the world.

Su Mi's gaze turned down again, and there, the two red arrows had docked.

Now that the skin has been torn, both parties no longer have scruples.

Famous generals fight each other, and the action is naturally vigorous and resolute.

Before Ni Tingxuan and their march, the Liao army had already left the capital and went south, and fought with Ni Yuan in the central Suzhou area.

The three confrontations are just mutual temptations, the two sides have each other's victories and defeats, the elite of the Liao army's iron cavalry is difficult to be, and Yeluxin is a fierce general in the world, and no one is invincible. The Qi army is also a division of a hundred battles, and Ni Yuan is strategic, and he is cautious every step.

A soldier is an elite soldier and will be a good general. The war is unpredictable.

Since they began to march into the territory of Liao, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the transmission of news has been delayed a lot, and now the war situation there is unknown.

Ni Tingxuan looked at the map, his expression was also worried, he was very clear about his father's temperament, and he planned calmly. Calculated well, no news will make him lose his temper. Even if it's what happened to my mother and sister...... It's just that the worries in his heart are still difficult to solve.

It was late at night.

He lowered his head, Su Mi was staring at the map intently, his expression was focused, because he had just slept at the desk, and the fine strands of hair were scattered from his forehead. Just sobered up, with a lovely blush on his face, he looked at it and suddenly became stupid. With her there. This ordinary and bleak battlefield camp tent is like a golden and brilliant nine-fold palace, and this bloody journey of thousands of miles has also become warm.

My heart is hot. I couldn't help but whisper:

"Don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely protect you. Don't let you get hurt in the slightest. ”

Su Mi was distracted, but suddenly heard such a sentence. She looked up in surprise.

The two looked at each other instantly.

It is a promise, a guarantee, a confession, and an oath destined for a lifetime.

Ni Tingxuan looked at him with blazing eyes, the feelings in his words were so sincere and warm, how could Su Mi not hear it.

The two didn't know how long they looked at each other, but that brief exchange of eyes had already exchanged countless moods.

Su Mi's face suddenly felt hot, as if she couldn't bear the burning heat in his eyes, and she lowered her head in a panic. Hiding his gaffe.

"So, thank you General Ni. She tried her best to keep her tone cold, but her heart began to ache. A deep pang, bordering on guilt, weighed on her.

"I ......" Ni Tingxuan looked at Su Mi, eager to tell something.

"You're going to fight the Liao people tomorrow, right?" She suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Ni Tingxuan's unspoken words.

Listening to Su Mi's voice, Ni Tingxuan also lowered his head, and then returned to normal, saying, "Yes." Tomorrow is the starting point. ”

"How are you going to fight?" Su Mi asked lightly.

"This time, we are going to directly march to Xijing, the capital of Liao, and we will start tackling key problems tomorrow. You stay behind, but be careful. A few words of effort. The two of them had already regained their composure. It was as if the gaffe just now was just an illusion of the illusion of the dim candle flame flickering.

Su Mi nodded,

Tomorrow. A bitter battle is about to begin.

The two were speechless to each other.

"It's late at night, go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow." After a short silence, Ni Tingxuan looked down at Su Mi's black eyes that were as clear as ice and snow, and said softly.

"Hmm. Su Mi turned around and entered the inner tent, she could feel that Ni Tingxuan's eyes were falling on her. It wasn't until she hastily lowered the curtain as if she were running away that the view from the scorching heat outside was blocked.

Although the two live in the same camp, the boss's tent was originally wide, divided into two layers, inside and outside, these days Su Mi has always slept in the tent, and Ni Tingxuan slept outside the tent.

Occupy someone else's bed as a matter of course, Su Mi slept very peacefully a few days ago, but tonight, she tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep, some things, obviously unwilling to think about it, but unconsciously drilled into her mind, as if she could vaguely hear the clear voice of the person outside, and felt that the hot and sincere gaze still fell on her like a substance, Su Mi only felt nervous and anxious, she tried her best to restrain her mind, and it was not until the second half of the night that she fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept in a trance, and was awakened by the neighing sound of horses outside, Su Mi rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed.

When he walked out of the tent, he found that it was already dark outside, and the soldiers were preparing for the march.

The sun had just risen, and the morning light was scattered on the endless grassland in front of me, and when I arrived yesterday, it was already low at night, so I didn't see the grand scene in front of me.

The morning mist is misty, the dawn is beginning to penetrate, at this time they are standing on the last mountain range on the border of Liao, overlooking down, the green prairie extends under their feet, at a glance can not see the edge, the line of sight rises almost galloping like pleasure, the pole eyes look at the sky, the vibrant green, and the clear blue at the end of the horizon converge into a piece, the bright red sun jumps out of the horizon, ten thousand rays of light will dye the sky red, infinite magnificence and remoteness, majestic and desolate.

In the distance, you can faintly see the earthy yellow city wall, which is the checkpoint set up by the Liao people on the border. This is the goal of today's first battle.

Interrupted by the neighing of the horses beside him, Su Mi looked back and saw that Ni Tingxuan had just led his war horse over.

"There has been news from the Tanma ahead, and there is an enemy not far to the west. War is coming, take care. Ni Tingxuan instructed uneasily.

"Well," Su Mi nodded, and said again, "You should be careful." With that, he turned around and walked towards the rear camp.
