Compared with the continuous twists and turns of the soldiers and horses in Tubo led by Li Bandit, the king of Guiyi, the soldiers and horses on the middle road led by the general Zhao Shi can be said to be unfazed.

More than 100,000 troops marched from Xiaoguan all the way to Weizhou.

The speed of the march of the army has not been fast, and the Qin army scouts all over the mountains and fields have collected the northwestern tribes from the mountains and Gobi on the left, or as a guide for the army, or recruit their youth and strength, and transport grain and grass for the army, but if there is resistance, they will wave their troops to calm down.

It can be said that the army in the middle is like a comb, combing all the way through a radius of more than 100 miles, and most of the people and tribes, or even bandits in the rivers and lakes, where the army passes, are not spared.

Of course, this also slowed down the march of the army for a certain distance, and it was not until the beginning of June that the advance of the army came to Weizhou thirty or forty miles......

It also made the generals in the army quite suspicious, because everyone understood that this time the army invaded the summer, it was important to fight quickly, and before the winter came, at least Lingzhou should be taken, thinking that the army would spend the winter.

And according to such a marching speed, when the army went to Lingzhou City, it was just like that year, the Western Xia people had already gathered a large army, so that people had nowhere to start, and it was even worse than the summer of that year, because the marshal did not let the right side of the Sui Department and the Zhihui Department meet in Lingzhou.

At this time, many generals in the army have begun to worry, what to do if the army is trapped under Lingzhou City when winter comes?

However, during the repeated military discussions, few people mentioned the hidden worries in their hearts, which is undoubtedly the best interpretation of the prestige of the general Zhao Shi in the army.

In other words, the great general Zhao Shi was invincible after a hundred battles. Attack everything. It has laid a huge territory for Great Qin. His achievements are unmatched in the army, so many people are thinking that the general must have a plan in his heart, and no matter how slow the march is, he is not afraid.

If you continue to guess along this line, there will be too many conjectures. For example, the powerful people of Western Xia are willing to respond internally, maybe they can get under Lingzhou City, and they can get down Lingzhou City without moving a single soldier.

For another example, after the army fell into Weizhou, it attacked lightly, and it might be able to catch the Western Xia thieves off guard.

And so on and so forth, there may be too many to think about at all. And since the general is secretive, no one wants to touch the general's bad head on this matter......

Of course. Some guys are also slandering in their hearts, the general Zhao Zhuguo led the troops to fight, quite a trend of the former Qin Baiqi, everywhere he passed, there was a river of blood, and his people were also born in the Western Army at the earliest, and they had transported grain to Qingyang Mansion and met the Xixia people.

Maybe it's another murderous offense, and he wants to slaughter the soldiers and civilians of Western Xia, otherwise, what is the purpose of letting the army hunt everywhere?

Of course, who has the courage to say such malicious speculation? Otherwise, it would be a capital crime to criticize the commander of the army, not to mention the general Zhao Shi? Naturally, there is no one who has enough brains to dare to say such words......

In fact, compared with the more than 30,000 troops in the Chinese New Year's Eve, although the marching speed of the middle road army is not very fast, but it has been safe and stable, without the repeated harassment of the Western Xia people, the grain road is even more safe and worry-free, it can be described as a sky, an underground, you know, when the middle road army, when it went to Lingzhou City, it was already close to winter.

and waited for the right army to converge under Lingzhou City, until winter came, under the cold and hunger, this was broken by the Western Xia people, so, compared with the past, today's middle army is much faster in terms of the speed of marching.

However, in this way, it has also suffocated some generals in the army who are eager to make contributions on the battlefield, such as the forward Li Chixun's department, and the fierce general Lu Xiang......

As the vanguard of the vanguard of the army, more than 1,202 cavalry of the department are cavalry, in addition to scouting the road, they also have the duty of clearing obstacles for the vanguard of the army.

Along the way, no matter the villages and cities, they either fled from the wind or knelt down to ask for surrender, and they had never seen a real battle, and a place like Xiaoguan was really depressing if they could take it down in an instant......

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves shook the earth, smoke and dust rose everywhere on the Gobi Desert, and the fierce figures of a group of cavalry soldiers were faintly visible in the smoke and dust.

It is already close to Weizhou, and it is also on the edge of the desert between Weizhou and Xiaoguan......

The knights galloped, embroidered with the banner of the winged tiger, fluttering in the wind, the leader of the flag, violently grabbed the reins of the horse, the horse neighed, and the iron armor on the knight's body collided and clanged.

Subsequently, a group of horsemen have gathered, gradually gathered under the banner, the smoke and dust gradually subsided, a column of cavalry has already formed a military formation, except for the neighing of war horses and the sound of the wind on the desert, there is no human voice, inadvertently, the atmosphere of slaughter has been sheng.

As long as those who are old in the army see this scene, they must understand that this army does not know how many battle formations it has gone through to have such a mighty force.

Yes, these horsemen are the elite of the Tiger Wusheng Army, who once fought in the north with the general Zhao Shi, and even went to the grassland desert north to compete with the grassland warriors.

Now, it is neither the general Zhao Shi nor the general Mu Huali who is leading them, but the land minister of Qinzhou.

Lu Xiang, the first minister, his ancestral home is Qinzhou, and his grandfather served in the Yanzhou Town Army, and moved to Yanzhou......

Speaking of this person, he is also a legendary figure among the national military supervisors.

His grandfather followed the army to fight in the summer, died in the battle under Xiao Pass, his father joined the army as a young man, fought dozens of battles, and was quite famous in the border village, and married the Zhang clan of Yanzhou, and gave birth to two Lu Xiang brothers.

Because Lu Xiang is a young son, his brother is more than ten years old, so he is quite favored by his parents, and he gave him the name of Lu Xiang.

Unfortunately, not long after Lu Xiang was born, his father died in the Golden Walled City, and soon his mother also died.

At this time, Lu Xiang's brother has already reached adulthood and served in the Yanzhou Town Army, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.

also complied with his mother's wishes, let his younger brother study since he was a child, and no longer thought about letting him join the army.

Lu Xiang entered Mongolia at the age of four, because of his talent and intelligence, he was quite loved by the teacher, and the family was also very happy, but people were not as good as heaven, and after a few years, Lu Xiang passed the year of the children's examination at the age of eight......

Li Yuankang, a famous general of Western Xia, led his troops to attack Qin, and the brother of Lu Xiang's official to the ranger captain died in the battle at the head of Yanzhou City, which was really a bolt from the blue for this family.

Because the eldest brother has no children, the sister-in-law's maiden family, the Wu family, wants her sister-in-law to remarry.

His sister-in-law, Wu, is a serious Qinchuan woman, who is strong by nature, and Yanzhou is close to the left, and the people are fierce, and Wu is also a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood......

How many years have passed, Lu Xiang still remembers that on the evening of that day, his sister-in-law called him into the house and said to him softly, Xiang'er, you will be the only male in the Lu family from now on...... Study hard, don't let your brother be uneasy underground, in the future, your sister-in-law may not be able to take care of you, you should be careful......

On the second day, his sister-in-law sharpened a green silk, picked up the steel knife left by her father-in-law, and went to join the army.

Because of the confrontation with the Western Xia people for many years, the Yanzhou people are mostly like this, the father dies and the son succeeds, the husband dies and the wife inherits, and it is not surprising that women join the army.

However, for Lu Xiang, when he was eight years old, the Lu family had such a unique bloodline as him......

At this point, Lu Xiang's heart has changed greatly, and the gentle and elegant young man in the past has become more angry, and he no longer reads and writes all day long, but like most Yanzhou teenagers, he began to play with knives and sticks, and he started to fight, and he was like a madman.

After a year, Lu Xiang's sister-in-law Wu returned, at that time, the Qin people and the Western Xia thieves had another big war, and after that battle, the Qin and Western Xia people began to negotiate peace, and the land of Yanzhou Frontier Fortress also restored the peace that had not been seen for many years, and the blood of the strong men of Yanzhou no longer flowed.

And the Wu family, who returned home, was also missing an arm, but he was full of arrogance and patted Lu Xiang's shoulder and laughed, he slaughtered three western thieves, which was regarded as her husband's revenge.

That was the last time Lu Xiang shed tears, and the figure of his sister-in-law Wu was extremely tall in his mind.

However, sister-in-law Wu didn't come back alone, she brought back a man for herself, an honest and honest Yanzhou man, but his body was full of knife wounds and arrow marks.

At the beginning, Lu Xiang was still a little awkward, but the sister-in-law asked the man to take off his clothes, pointed to a knife wound across the shoulder and back of the other party's back and said, this knife was injured because of protecting her, if it weren't for him, your sister-in-law would have died a long time ago, and in the future, he would have to treat it as his brother, and Lu Xiangxin would have gone......

To say, there will be no war in Yanzhou after that, and this patchwork family of three may be able to live a good life.

However, Lu Xiang can't go back to the past, even if his sister-in-law beats and scolds him with a stick, he can't ask this kid to pick up books and read books to test his fame.

In the end, it was Lu Xiang's cheap brother who could see it and persuaded his sister-in-law a few words, Yanzhou man, how many people studied to earn fame? Since he didn't want to follow literature, it was better to teach him some martial arts, so his sister-in-law didn't say much.

Lu Xiang knows that his sister-in-law is afraid, the three generations of the Lu family, from Lu Xiang's grandfather to Lu Xiang's brother, all died on the battlefield, he is the only seedling of the Lu family's generation, if there are three long and two short, how can it be good......

However, Lu Xiang didn't think so, his father and brother were all killed, and even his sister-in-law lost an arm, he only hated, he was too young at that time, otherwise, he must use the blood of the Xixia thief to fear these relatives. (To be continued......)
