Although I am tired, I don't sleep well, and if I am dazed, it will be time.

The drums of the morning meal sounded, and footsteps were heard in the camp, and the female general sent a set of simple armor last night, which looked like the size fitted well. I turned around and put it on my body, closed my wrist guards, tied my waist, and tied my long hair into a man's crown, and when I got out of the tent, Xuanyuan Chen was already waiting at the door.

The female general was also careful, and gave Xuanyuan Chen a set of delicate casual armor worn by a young general, although she was disguised as an ordinary uncle, but when she wore this armor and standing robe, she had the demeanor of a veteran in the killing field, and the female general who provoked her always peeked at it.

"The county lord, the king of Marsh Yuan, the deputy marshal, and several generals are all discussing in the big tent, let's go over and see Marshal Su first." The female general made a gesture of please.

I bowed my head and followed her slowly in the direction of the big tent.

This female general has a bold temperament, listening to her introduction, I know that her name is Qi Lan, the daughter of the right-wing general Qi Feng, who has been with the army since she was a child, has experienced countless wars, and is now a pioneer officer under Su Shuai.

I lived far from the main tent, and it was breakfast time, and along the way I met many soldiers who had received their meals, and they sat in the corner of the tent, eating the contents of the bowl very carefully, and when I looked into the bowl, the bowl of porridge and rice was full of weeds, and there were only a few grains of rice, which were as thin as water.

I frowned, and then I heard Qi Lan sigh and said, "Hey, there is not much grain and grass left, the soldiers have eaten this kind of food for four days, and the grain and grass supply in the rear will not be able to come up, and in two days, I am afraid that I will not even be able to eat this." ”

The displaced people in Jicheng closed the city, even if there was food to be transported out and the city gate was opened, I was afraid that it would be robbed. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, but grain is a big problem.

A few of us walked forward again, but we passed by a wounded area, and before we could go past it, we heard a continuous moaning, and when we got closer, we saw a large area of simple tents, lying or sitting resting many wounded and sick guards.

Those with gauze wrapped around their heads, injured arms, bad legs, in short, looked at the past, they were all disabled and sick, and it was roughly estimated that there must be tens of thousands of people. Their food was better than what they had seen before, and there were slightly more rice grains in the porridge, but because of the pain, they were all dish-washed.

Qi Lan said again: "They are all good sons of our Xiqi!" It's a pity that those who are short of food and water now can't let them recover as soon as possible, and I don't know how many sins they will suffer. With that, she sighed.

I asked her, "Is there enough medicine in the army?" ”

She nodded, "This is okay, there is a miracle doctor in our army, there is a mountain range in the back, there are many medicinal materials in it, and the rear plastic is not enough grain and grass, but the medicinal herbs can be picked fresh." Our Su Shuai's illness is thanks to this miracle doctor. Alas, you see, the lord of the county, there he is. ”

I looked in the direction she was pointing, and in the middle of a circle of wounded soldiers, there was an old man with gray sideburns, who looked to be in his sixties, with a goatee under his chin and wrinkled eyebrows, but he looked a little fairy-like.

Xu was slightly aware, and he looked up at the coming from afar. I have a good impression of this kind of hanging pot to help the world, and I have a good impression of the person with a medical style, so I bowed my head at him slightly, and he also nodded with a smile.

After a little further on, they came to the big tent of Suho.

When the soldiers in the tent saw her, they all saluted, she nodded, and one of the soldiers hurriedly drew the curtain for her, and she made a gesture of please, and I strode into the tent.

Bypassing the barrier against the wind, I saw Suho on the tent.

I had long expected that Su Huo would have a haggard face, but I didn't expect that he would be haggard like this.

I haven't seen him for four years, and I've grown up, but he's getting old and I don't know him.

The once ruddy face was full of wrinkles, the corners of the eyes were full of fine horizontal lines, and the smooth forehead was engraved with the vicissitudes of the years.

I didn't know what it was like in my heart, but sitting on the couch, I actually grabbed his hand.

It was a pair of old palms that were as dry as claws, and the withered fingertips were covered with calluses, and I rubbed them lightly, and they were as hard as stones.

They have carried me, taken me on horseback, and carried me in their arms, and have ridden through the streets.

My heart was a little blocked, so I quickly didn't look over, and when I got better, I asked Qi Lan, "General Qi, how is my grandfather's condition?" ”

Qi Lan sighed, "The situation is not optimistic, the military doctor has used a lot of medicine, but he just didn't wake up." ”

I gently placed his hand on the couch, covered it with the quilt, and asked, "My grandfather, how did you get hurt?" ”

Qi Lan said, "At that time, there had been a truce between the two armies for some time, and the generalissimo had gathered his troops and horses and prepared to return to Beijing on the second day. That day, he was very happy, saying that he hadn't been back for several years, and his little granddaughter was estimated to have grown into an adult, and said that he was going to go back this time, and he was going to resign at home, coax his granddaughter, and enjoy a few years of family fun. ”

He was very happy that day, and went back to the tent early to rest, but who knew that in the middle of the night, the barbarians in southern Xinjiang were actually wantonly attacking. The situation was very chaotic, and the old marshal, in a hurry, rode into battle without armor. In a fierce battle with the enemy, he was ambushed by the opponent's leader, surrounded by five people, and did not fall off his horse during the fight. ”

I frowned slightly, "What did you say?" Pedal by horse? ”

Qi Lan's face showed resentment, and finally nodded angrily.

My eyes shrank, and anger rose in my heart.

On the battlefield, when the two armies are fighting, there is an unwritten rule that if the enemy falls off the horse, you can directly take his head, or you can work together to kill him.

However, you can't deliberately step on the horse.

Dying on the battlefield is an honor, and stepping under the horse is the greatest insult to the warrior, and it is the deepest contempt.

The enemy army is so insulting!

This is not only an insult to Su Huo, but also an insult to the Su family, and even the entire Xiqi!

No wonder, the eight hundred miles of urgency received by His Majesty only said that Su Huo was seriously injured, but did not say where the injury was, it turned out that the reason was like this!

Qi Lan said in a deep voice, "That day, the old marshal vomited a lot of blood, and after coming back, after the divine doctor's conditioning, it was also relieved, but he fell into a night coughing and vomiting blood. ”

I eased my mind, looked at Su Huo's already silver sideburns, carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for him, and got up to get out of the handsome account.

Today, the sky was clear, and I looked up at the cloudless blue sky, and asked, "General Qi, who is the leader of the enemy army?" ”

Qi Lan said in an angry tone: "It's the second prince of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, Tuoba Hong." ”

It turned out to be him, the villain who went back on his word.

married the princess, rekindled the war, and now used this method to hurt Su Ho.

Tuoba Hong, you're good, you're good!

This time I came to the frontier, if I didn't cut you with my own hands, under the horse, I wouldn't be called Feng Qingluan!

After a long pause, I strode in the direction of the big tent. From afar, I listened to the fierce quarrel between the people inside. I stood outside the tent and listened for a while, and then I understood why.

Just yesterday, before I descended the mountain, the enemy conducted another small sneak attack. Because the enemy always attacked at night, and the Western Qi army also made precautions, the casualties in this attack were not large. These people in the tent were studying the way to defend at this time.

A loud voice said, "We should set up more barriers, so that when the enemy attacks, we will have time to respond and think about how to reduce casualties." ”

Another young woman's voice said, "What General Zhu said makes sense, during this time, we have always suffered losses from night attacks, and the problem lies in defense. ”

Another man said in the account, "It's not enough to just set up barricades, we should set up barricades and ambush them at the same time, maybe we will also make the enemy suffer." ”

"Well, it's a good way, and it's a good way."

Everyone praised what he said for being reasonable, and after studying it for a while, the first loud voice said, "King Marshal Swamp, deputy marshal, how do you two look at this set of strategies for strengthening defense that we have researched?" ”

There was a slight silence in the tent, and then another voice said, "For now, this is the best way. ”

This is the voice of the Seventh Prince, Helian Yunze, I can hear it.

"What about the Marsh King?" The torrent asked again.

There was silence in the tent again, and then, the voice of Helian Yunnuma was heard.

"If you think about it, it's a solution."

Method, this is also called a good way?

I laughed.

"I don't think it's the way to defend all the time, it's time to strike!"

I drank loudly outside the big tent, and then, regardless of the obstruction left and right, I went directly into the big tent with the curtains.

"Whoa......

I went in suddenly, and the sound was a little louder, and everyone in the tent turned their heads to look. I looked up and saw that there were eight people standing in the tent, all wearing Kai armor.

The two in the middle, one is Helian Yunze, the eighth prince, and the other is the king of Marsh Yuan, Helian Yunnuma.

To the right of the two of them were two older generals, one with a cold face and the other with a beard. In the future, there is a young man, and a female general, and the closest to the door are Ji Yunchang and Rong Ziyang.

I haven't seen it for more than a month, and these two people are a lot darker, but there are more tough ones between their eyebrows, and the battlefield is really a place for people to mature quickly.

"Sister of the Su family?" Rong Ziyang exhaled incredulously, Ji Yunchang seemed to frown, the two young generals looked the same, but the veteran with a beard raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Where did the little girl come from, how dare you trespass on the big tent!" ”

I smiled slightly, put my hands together and saluted, and sang aloud, "Su Qianmu, the grandson of Su Huo, see the king of Nuyuan, see the marshal, and see several generals." ”

When the bearded general heard that I was Su Huo's granddaughter, the expression on his face eased a lot, and he actually leaked a smile and said, "Ho! It turned out to be the baby of Su Shuai's family, and he looked like a bold one. But baby, this is a big account, not a place to play around, baby, you go out first, what's the matter, I'll tell you Uncle Zhu later, ha....... ”

I saw that the other person was very rude, and his speech was quite kind, so I bowed to him and said, "More Uncle Zhu's kindness, but since he has entered this big tent, he is naturally not playing nonsense, he is here to discuss matters." ”

General Zhu smiled, "How old is your baby, you dare to say that you are here to discuss matters, it's okay, don't mess around." ”

I smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, but looked at Helian Yunnuma.

I haven't seen him for a few years, he has darkened a lot, although the warmth between his eyebrows is still hidden, his cheeks are a little more cold, maybe it is the slaughter of the battlefield for many years, which has sharpened people's hearts.

As I looked at him, he looked at him too.

There was scrutiny, strangeness, and some look in my eyes that I couldn't understand.

Perhaps, that's suspicion, I think.

He just looked at me like he did at the family dinner.

I smiled and looked at him superficially.

The breeze blew into the tent, spreading the smell of iron-colored armor and blowing the cloak on the general's shoulders.

The room was silent.

In the middle of the sound, Helian Yunnuma's eyes rose, and he said in a moist voice, "Since I'm here to discuss things, let's talk about it." ”
