She looked at the old doctor incredulously and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" You repeat? ”
"This lady, you are so careless, you are pregnant, it has been almost three months, why don't you know anything about it? And your physique is very poor, the pulse is very chaotic, if you can't rest in peace, your fetus can be dangerous. [No pop-ups. 】”
Trimester? Chu Qiao lowered his head and looked at his still flat lower abdomen, how could it be? She's pregnant? When she was waiting to get married, when she was fighting in the north and south, when she was soaking in the river and fighting on horseback in the face of bullets and bullets, she still had a child in her belly?
"I'll prescribe a tocolytic medicine for you to nourish blood and qi, you have to take it well, and then rest in peace, don't travel long distances, you are tired of hard work." The old doctor comforted her a few words, and then went out with He Xiao.
Chu Qiao sat on the bed, her expression was still dumbfounded, these days bad news has come frequently, the war has been ups and downs, everything is like a huge wave, wave after wave of attack on her. But I didn't expect that in such an environment, she would become pregnant.
She stretched out her trembling hand and gently covered her lower abdomen, vaguely, as if she could hear the child's faint heartbeat.
A line of tears suddenly slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she bit her lower lip lightly, choking a little in her throat, and she fell into tears so silently.
Zhuge Yue, I'm pregnant with your child.
I have children.
As night gradually fell, He Xiao lit a candle in the room, he called some meals and soup to replenish qi and blood, walked to Chu Qiao's bedside, and asked softly, "My lord, are we still going to Tangjing?" Why don't you just turn back to Qinghai? ”
Chu Qiao raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were straight, and he didn't speak.
"My lord, your body is not suitable for continuing to lead troops. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the fourth young master and the child in your belly. ”
Chu Qiao was shocked when she heard this, she looked down at her stomach and continued to be silent. After a long time, she raised her head and said softly, "He Xiao, I have already lied to him once." ”
He Xiao was stunned for a moment, not knowing who she was talking about, so he asked, "What did you say, my lord?" ”
"I've already lied to him once." Chu Qiao's gaze was quiet and ethereal, looking at the candle flame quietly, "I told him that I would stay by his side to protect him and not let others bully him anymore, but I couldn't do it." He has no parents anymore, and I think about my children, so who will think about him? ”
He Xiao suddenly knew that she was talking about Tang Emperor Li Xiuyi. He frowned and said, "My lord, now that the situation is no longer something you can turn around, even if you stayed in Bian Tang at the beginning, you may not be able to put an end to today's incident." You are not in good health, don't think too much, don't take everything on yourself. ”
Chu Qiao raised his head and took a deep breath.
"He Xiao, there are some responsibilities in this world that cannot be escaped." The corners of her mouth were torn apart, and she said calmly, "I have received the great favor of Li Ce, and I have received the great favor of Bian Tang, and now it is time to repay it." I think that if I ignore that child in danger, my child will look down on me in the future. ”
She sat up, put on her shoes, walked to the table and began to eat, and when she had finished eating, she drank her medicine honestly.
Under the lights, she looked so thin, where did she look like a mother who was three months pregnant?
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
He Xiao looked at her, and for a while he didn't know who she was talking about, whether it was herself, the child in her womb, or the current Tang Emperor.
The cool breeze of the night blows the willow branches outside the window.
The landscape of Bian Tang is still the same, but the pace of war is approaching.
At the same time, in Bai Zhiguan's big tent, Yan Xun was sitting on the couch in a dark robe. Below are more than a dozen young beauties just sent by a wealthy local businessman, all dressed in light gauze, half-naked, looking delicate and seductive.
From time to time, a bold girl raised her head and stole a glance at the powerful man above. It's a pity that his eyes never turned to this side for a moment.
"Your Majesty, we have already arranged our troops, and we must wipe out the beautiful army at Handshui Pass."
"Someone!" Yan Xun suddenly raised his head and beckoned to the outside world, and a personal soldier walked in.
"Drag him down and beat him with twenty sticks!"
The subordinate guards immediately set up the staff officer and were about to go out. The man didn't know where he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly pleaded guilty, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy, and after a while, the screams rang out. The girls who knelt on the ground were so frightened that their faces turned white, and no one dared to raise their heads again.
"Catch all the ......" Yan Xun repeated these four words lightly, he couldn't hear any joy or anger, and the candle flame shone on his face, as if a thin layer of gold paper was caged.
He lay lazily on the couch, and slept on his side, with so many charming beauties kneeling below, and after a while, he fell asleep.
On this night, thousands of miles apart, they said the same thing at the same time.
"I hope you don't meet him or her."
Vaguely, many, many years ago, under the dilapidated roof, the girl wore a light pink jacket, rubbed her hands with a red face, sat under the lamplight and sewed clothes, and turned back to the young man while sewing: "There is no father and son on the battlefield, everything is for the interests of the country, even if the brothers go to the battlefield, they can't retreat." I'm not telling you about the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties now, I'm talking about the history of the Tang Dynasty. That's a joke, this is the official history, listen to you carefully. ”
"What canonical history? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
"Anyway, just listen to it and study it carefully."
"If you are Li Shimin, will you also kill your eldest brother?"
"Of course you kill, do you want to keep him to kill me? Didn't I tell you that their relationship broke down later. By the way, what about you, don't you kill? ”
The young man pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "If it were me, I would have killed Liu Wuzhou when I beat him." ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up, "You are very good." ”
……
The dark night enveloped the heavens and the earth, and even the water waves with memories were all accumulated together, and there was not a single sound.
On the second day, someone in Baizhi Pass secretly went out of the customs and rode all the way to Handshui. There are now 100,000 troops there, all of whom are elite troops from Yanbei. One is to assist Princess Jing'an, and the other is to guard the other party's lifeline and guard her own back road.
On the same day, Chu Qiao waited for the other warriors of the Xiuli Army and the Wolf Army in Nanli County, and 40,000 people gathered in the wasteland, and the black pressed war knife was raised, like a flamboyant forest.
"Hanshui is the only way for Tangjing to go northwest, and if Hanshui is not broken, it will not be possible to solve the danger of Tangjing being trapped."
Chu Qiao's snow-white finger pointed on the map, drew a circle at the Handshui Pass, and said in a deep voice: "The battle that will determine life and death is coming." ”
The gray sky was covered with heavy rain.
The artemisia grass near Handshui was more than a man tall, and the thunder rumbled across the river, and from west to east, a thunderbolt followed, splitting a century-old elm tree in Handshui Pass. Two Yanbei Army guards on duty were injured, a house in the east of the city had its beams broken, and all seven members of the family were stoned to death in their sleep.
This was the first bloodshed in the Battle of Hanshui Pass, even if there was no fighting or chopping, it was enough to push the already solidified atmosphere to the brink of collapse. The people in Handshui Pass hid at home all day, and no one dared to go out even during the day. The heavy rain poured on the long empty street, and there was no human population in sight, only some withered yellow grass was blown up by the wind, and the wet flew not far, and as soon as he poked his head out, he was smashed down by the raindrops.
Heavy rain has been falling for 11 days in a row, causing the water level in Handan to rise wildly. The weather is abnormal, the birds fly north, and the howl of the lone wolf in the wasteland can be faintly heard every night, like a death knell. A well-informed old man said that the summer of the seventh year of Emperor Xiaozong was also the same rainstorm. That year, Xue Li, the general of Bian Tang, led an army of 400,000 to attack Daxia, and it was in such weather that he crossed the Handshui River, all the way to the north, like a bamboo, and broke through the Baizhi Pass, until he reached the hinterland of Daxia. However, just when the entire Bian Tang was waiting for it, thinking that the Tang Dynasty was about to regain the lost territory in shame, the Lion King of Yanbei suddenly sent troops, defeated the Tang army, and personally killed the victorious general Xue Li, once again crushing the Tang Dynasty's ambition to dominate.
That year, the blood stained the red red water, all the way down the Chishui River into the Hanshui, the corpses floating on the river stretched for dozens of miles, wild dogs and jackals jumped into the river, standing on the layers of corpses as if walking on the ground did not sink, all of them ate red eyes.
Decades have passed, but that tragic battle still echoes in the minds of the old people. Now, the Lion King of Yanbei has been dead for many years, and the tomb of General Xue Li is also covered with mossy grass. Bian Tang was weak, and there were endless disputes within Daxia, but the eagle flag of Yanbei once again floated in the sky above Baizhi Pass, and meandered all the way to the head of the city of Hanshui.
On the seventh day of the fifth month, Yan Xun was invited by Princess Jing'an of the Tang Dynasty to personally lead troops to sit in Handshui to resist the beautiful army that came to help from thousands of miles, and protect the advantageous battle situation east of Handshui Pass. Only one day later, Chu Qiao's beautiful army appeared in Weiliao County on the west side of Handshui Pass, and Weiliao County, a small city that had no one to pay attention to in the past, quickly became famous, condensing the attention of the entire Bian Tang and even the entire land of Simon. The red cloud battle flag on a white background was erected on the low city tower, Chu Qiao personally put on his armor and paraded the oath of the army, and the Tang troops who were scattered west of Hanshui Pass rushed to hear the news, and the princes of all parties loyal to the royal family also escorted grain and grass to reinforcements. Within three days, the number of troops in the Xiuli Army had been expanded to 90,000, and it was still growing.
This is the first crusade banner officially erected in Bian Tang since Princess Jing'an's thunderous rebellion, and it is still facing Princess Jing'an's powerful ally - Yanbei Army.
An unprecedentedly powerful war is imminent, and everyone is holding their breath and waiting for the bloody storm to come.
On May 14, the torrential rain stopped abruptly, and the water level of the Handshui River stopped at a very alarming scale. The six-day standoff has brought the patience of both sides to a dangerous critical point, and although the generals on both sides are aware of the necessity of such a confrontation, they know that it is a very dangerous act to have hundreds of thousands of troops sitting at such a close distance. The tense atmosphere reverberated over the barracks of both sides, and if we were not careful, there was a possibility of mutiny.
Although Chu Qiao and Yan Xun were fully prepared, the scouts and scouts on both sides shuttled like the wind, and various battle plans were changed again and again, and they finally agreed on the direction of the battle and the place of action. But the arrival of the first battle still made them panic for a moment.
On the afternoon of the fourteenth, Mo Xu, the Taishou of Wuling County, had just crossed the Heyuan Plain, escorting 50,000 loads of grain and grass, crossing the mountains and mountains, carefully crossing the layers of fire lines, and was coming towards Chu Qiao's Wei Liao base camp.
He is a native of the Tang Dynasty, his ancestors once followed the first generation of Tang kings to fight, was awarded a high position, and his ancestors also had a big man who worshiped the marquis, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and today's Mo family is no longer in the past. However, at this moment, in the face of the danger of the country, Mo Taishou, who was over seventy years old, still personally led the troops to escort the grain and grass, wanting to do his part for the army led by Chu Qiao.
However, just when they arrived near the Tiexian River, they unexpectedly encountered a small road embankment worker in Yanbei. The Tiexian River is a tributary of the Hanshui River, and the embankment is unstable, so Yan Xun once sent 3,000 infantry to repair the embankment here, so as not to wash away the headquarters of the large camp downstream. Unexpectedly, Mo Taishou was cautious and cautious, and still bumped into the muzzle of this group's gun. The war was about to break out, and the shouts of killing alarmed several scouts from near and far, and within half an hour, the nearby armies of both sides came one after another, and the battle situation was chaotic.
Just look at the refreshing one
