This battle at Qunqu Pass was undoubtedly a great victory for the Lingjiang Army against the Uighurs.

Nearly 100,000 Uighur elites were wiped out in one fell swoop, while the Fei army on the Lingjiang side paid only a negligible price. Such a rare battle loss ratio is an unprecedented victory on any battlefield.

The black army marched all the way to the northwest, and the last time they crossed the Qunqu Mountains, they were all defeated in silence; And this time they embarked on the journey again, but they were an unstoppable and brave army.

Everyone knows what this campaign is for, the time in Jincheng, how many comrades fell on the land of the northwest, and even the departure of their own people had to be exchanged for the sacrifice of dignity by the coach......

The humiliation they have suffered can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy, and they just want to take back the glory they once lost in Jincheng and take it back with their own strength.

Although the whereabouts of the Fei Army were secret, the rest of the Lingjiang foot soldiers opened the Daqing Pass in a grand manner. However, in a few days, the news that Xi Yan led the army to set foot in the northwest still spread.

When the Uighurs found that their elite had not been heard from and sent people to the Qunqu Pass, it had already been burned to the ground, and there were only countless charred corpses stacked in one place in the mouth of the gorge.

As long as they thought that it was their own elite who was submerged in the mouth of the gorge, the Uighurs were eager to immediately crush the ridicule to ashes. But having lost all their elite, the Uighurs, even if they were no longer reconciled, had to put away their wolf ambitions and retreat back to the country to recuperate.

It is also because of the success of this battle, since then, the name of the Fei Army has made Xiaoxiao who dared to offend Lingjiang and the northwest fearful. This army is no longer the remnants of the defeated army that suffered humiliation in the northwest last year, but a flying force that sharpens its knives, and all the wolf ambitions will be cut down by their blades.

The Jialu River, just like its place name, is full of reeds more than one person high, and several streams of water from east to west converge here, and finally gather into a large river, nourishing a small side of water and soil on the dry northwest land.

The army is stationed here, which is not only secretive, but also convenient for people and horses to drink. The most important thing is that it is most convenient to march from here to block Fu Mang's retreat.

It was night, Xi Yan stood alone outside the tent, looking at the starry sky, and his heart was quite a little groaning.

The moon in the northwest, as it was in the past, hung high and desolate above the nine heavens.

Recalling the last time he attacked the Zhenyuan Pass and passed through Shuiluo, although he was only a right general with two thousand horsemen, he was full of enthusiasm. This time when he went to the vicinity of Shuiluo, he already had an army of more than 100,000 under his command, but his state of mind was no longer the enthusiasm and clarity he was at that time.

That's right...... Shuiluo is also the place where everything began for his brother, but it is also the place where his fate took a sharp turn.

Thinking back to his brother, Xi Yan didn't know what kind of mood he was in.

He has never resented his brother, even if today's troubled times are largely due to his brother's responsibility, even if he can never go back, and even have to bear a lifetime of infamy...... Even with his father and mother, he can never see each other again.

But Xi Yan has never complained, what happened in the northwest last year, Xi Yan finally attributed it to fate.

The elder brother fought for half his life, but in the end he chose such a decisive and tragic way, and ended everything on the battlefield. If there is a spirit under his nine springs, Xi Yan only hopes that he can be relieved.

"Childe is thinking about Master Hou?" I don't know when, Liu Peiqi appeared behind him again.

"Liu Qing, if you understand too much, it's not necessarily a good thing."

"Gongzi doesn't look like a person who can kill heroes," Liu Peiqi actually joked, and then stood side by side with Xi Yan, "Back then, when my subordinates came to Shuiluo to quell the chaos with Hou Ye for the first time, they also went to Jialuchuan. It's still the same place as it was back then, except that the water in the swamp seems to be a little shallower. At the beginning, none of us thought that today would be such a situation, and we all only thought about serving the court and making contributions. ”

Xi Yan listened to him talk about the past events of the past, and also recalled the gradually shattered memories in the past years.

"My brother went to the northwest to quell the turmoil, and I was not yet in the age of a weak crown, and I heard a lot of things about him from the words of the elders. He never mentioned it, and I didn't bother to ask. I always felt that since he didn't want to say it, there was always a reason for him. ”

"Yes," Liu Peiqi is the one who has experienced all this with Xi Luan, and he naturally understands what Xi Luan has experienced better than Xi Yan.

"You and Hou Ye are still very similar back then, when you led two thousand horsemen to the expedition last year, that arrogance and sharpness...... It is almost the same as that of Hou Ye. Liu Peiqi also sighed, and then said, "Master Hou changed later, and a big reason is because of his wife." ”

Xi Yan cast his eyes on the high sky, at this time, the stars were falling, and there was a faint hail flying in the reeds, and the scattered hail was as blurred as the soul of water.

My brother is still going to go with my sister-in-law after 12 years, I wonder if they will be like this water soul at this moment, you have me, regardless of each other?

"The Si people are gone, brother...... I have always remembered my sister-in-law. He has no interest in this world, and he may not even be able to tell what he is doing all this for. ”

Liu Peiqi also sighed: "It's just that we have come to this point now, and there is no way back for everyone." Maybe...... Hou Ye just hopes that you can decide everything for yourself. Is Jin Lin a thing in the pool? If you are confined to the Chongdu temple for the rest of your life, you will still have shackles that you can't get rid of, yes or no? If you don't pay some price, how can you get the freedom to decide everything? ”

"I really deserve my brother's plan."

After Xi Yan dropped this sentence, he returned to the tent, he didn't like all his brother's plans to be for himself, and he didn't like anyone to judge his mistakes.

Liu Peiqi was still standing in the distance, thinking about his calm expression, and he couldn't help but speculate in his heart.

Maybe...... He still has some slight complaints about his brother. After all, it was his brother who broke his Anlan with his own hands, destroyed the glory he was proud of, tore the skin of the prosperous world bloodily, and exposed all the cruelty of the world in front of his eyes.

If it weren't for that, he would definitely still be in Chongdu City now, enjoying everything that his bloodline identity brought him, why would he go to this wild place several times?

The moon and stars are scarce, and the scenery in the northwest is vast and magnificent.

It's just that such a landscape, under the devastation of war, how much can it remain in the end?
