A snowfall, it didn't stop until dusk, it was dark outside, the charcoal fire in the house was warm, the jade was covered with a thick cashmere blanket and slept on the couch, and squatted on the feet and flew back to Yinxiao who was making up for sleep.

Yiyu moved from Chang'an to Hebei, and when he arrived in Anyang, Yinxiao was sent to the Governor's Mansion in advance, and it was said that it should be looking for a mate to come back, but there was no half a bird shadow around, the language was not understood, and the Yuyu only thought that it had flown for a few months and did not find a companion, so he took it out of the Governor's Mansion and moved to Li Tai's other courtyard in Anyang.

It was sent as a messenger, firstly, because it was more convenient for him to find Li Tai, and secondly, so that the pigeons flying out in winter would not be caught and used as food.

There was a sound outside the door, and Yu Yu, who had been sleeping for a good night, woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he first saw the beams full of new wood, and as soon as he moved his body, he heard the sound of stopping.

"Lie down, don't be in a hurry to get up, it's cold, just wake up and lie down again."

Yi Yu turned his head, and saw Lu Shi walking in with a food box, putting it on the tea table, taking the side dishes and soup cups inside, Pinghui closed the door and stepped forward to help.

Yinxiao consciously got up from the edge of the fire, moved the place, grunted, buried his head in his chest, and continued to squat.

"Mother, the road outside is slippery, why did you come here by yourself?"

Lu Shi sat down by the fire and leaned on his hand, and said, "I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I will cook you sweet soup and bring it to you while it is hot." ”

Inspector Yu Yu went over and pulled the corner of her clothes, "Mother is so good." ”

Lu Shi warmed his hands, then got up to help her sit up, and said, "The prince has a letter at noon?" ”

"Hmm," at the mention of Li Tai, Yi Yu's face unconsciously became a little more radiant.

Li Tai's letter was written very shortly, only in plain words to ask her if she was comfortable in Anyang and whether she was in good health, and replied to her first letter, briefly describing the general encounter on the march.

Yi Yu thought that he was a layman in military affairs, and it was impossible to help him with advice, but he still stubbornly invited Sun Lei, the pawn of the Governor's Mansion, to explain to her some of the history of the northwest and the current situation every day.

Even if you can't be with him, you need to be clear about what kind of environment he is in.

However, the more I knew, the more I realized that the expedition would not be easy, and the more worried I became.

From Chang'an to Gaochang, you must pass through Moheyan, which is the famous death Gobi in the Western Regions, it can be said that before the Tang army faced Gaochang and the Turks, the first great enemy to face was this endless desert.

If there are no seasoned generals, no firm military spirit, and no arrival in Gaochang, the army will be consumed by Mohe Yanmo, whose living conditions are poor.

Presumably, Gaochang King Lu Wentai had this idea of waiting for work at ease, and had the support of the anti-Tang faction of the Western Turks, so he would have no fear of the imperial court, humiliate him, and bow down to his relatives before, turn around and aim at the Tang Dynasty, and become a face-changing villain.

"It's a pity that His Royal Highness and the second brother are not camped together, otherwise they would have been able to bring the letter back together."

"I can't do this, my mother just knows that your second brother is safe, don't make trouble for King Wei again."

"Hmm."

Lu Shi handed over the soup bowl from Pinghui's hand, tried the temperature, and then sent it to Yiyu's hand, and watched her take a spoon and drink it in small sips, her eyes slipped to her abdomen, carefully stretched out her hand, and gently touched it, feeling the faint beating of the blood veins in the palm of her hand, and suddenly smiled and squinted, and read to her daughter's stomach:

"Good grandson, you are really obedient, you know that your mother is hard, so you never make trouble, you are so obedient, and when you are born in the future, your grandmother will embroider a lot of beautiful clothes for you to wear."

Yi Yu laughed out loud, handed the empty bowl to Ping Hui, and pouted and said to Lu:

"Mother, this child didn't come out, you are so used to it, and when you grow up in the future, you will pay it back, don't grow up to be a gentleman at that time, you only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and you don't do your job."

"Nonsense," Lu glared at her, pulled up the blanket on her body, and carefully covered her grandson, "Didn't my mother get used to you when I was a child, and I didn't see you have any strong and domineering temperament when you grew up." ”

Yi Yu knew that his current status in Lu's eyes was not as good as the one in his belly, although he was a little tasty, but he didn't treat the child in his belly as a baby, and he had been raising the fetus in accordance with the rules in the past few months, and he had endured the body that was getting heavier day by day, all so that the child could come into the world smoothly.

If you don't be a mother, you don't know your mother's hard work, the first three months are not obvious, and when you are five or six months old, the test has just begun.

Standing for a long time, sitting for a long time will have backache, stomach bulge, toilet has become a trouble, sometimes in the middle of the night to sleep well, will be chest tightness, a night intermittent to wake up several times, are common.

Eat a lot, sleep well, people naturally begin to gain weight, her face is round, occasionally wake up in the morning will be swollen, look in the mirror to self-portrait, like another person or two, there is no trace of beauty at all, this is a point that women can't help but care, and only at this time, she will feel that Li Tai is not around is a good thing.

These are just physical burdens, and what is even more embarrassing is that she has a little mood swing, and when she reads that Li Tai is not by her side, she will want to cry and shed tears, but she is afraid of hurting the child, so she can't cry or laugh.

Seeing her running away, Lu Shi asked her to return to her soul, "What do you want?" ”

Yi Yu sucked his sour nose, suddenly reached out and hugged Lu's neck, and repeated again:

"Mother, you are so good."

Li Tai was not there, she still had a maid to serve, accompanied by her mother, thinking that the Lu family was homeless back then, with two young sons, and there was no food and clothing, it must be for the children in the belly, so she survived all the way from the hardships.

Mother, what a heavy and strong title.

Lu Shi didn't understand what she was feeling, but when she was coquettish, he smiled and patted her on the back and coaxed.

The Great Tent of the Barracks

The generals of the army are there, each living in one, surrounded by a discussion, the head is the commander Hou Junji of this expedition to Gaochang, Niu Jinda, Xue Wanjun on the right, a single seat on the left hand, Li Tai is seated, Ah Sheng is standing behind him, holding Li Tai's sword in his hand, carrying a scimitar at his waist, and making a captain's attire.

"Further ahead, is Moheyan moraine, there is sandy, dry and water-defined, deserted, easy to get lost, we will face the water and food to go through, do not spend months of effort, do not lose the army, it is simply a fool's dream"

As the commander of the Northwest Army, Hou Junji knew best what kind of severe test they were going to face, and there were many of his old subordinates here, but this warning was not for them.

"If you are afraid of death, stay behind me as soon as possible, and move forward with the quartermasters, so that you can live a few more lives, don't drag your feet when the time comes, and blame Ben Shuai for not being emotional"

Speaking of this, Hou Junji swept around the generals present, and suddenly turned his head to Li Tai on the left hand side and asked:

"Since the prince is in charge of the army, he might as well go with the army."

More than 30 people in the tent turned their eyes to Li Tai, and a few frowned slightly, not knowing whether they were dissatisfied with the emperor sending a prince who had never fought a war to supervise the army, or dissatisfied with Hou Junji's secret debasement.

Li Tai didn't seem to hear that Hou Junji was deliberately ridiculing, thought for a moment, and nodded and said:

"It's okay, please send a soldier to accompany the king."

Hou Junji was a little surprised by his reaction, rubbed the beard on his lips, glanced at him, then stood up from the handsome chair, grabbed the talisman stacked on the table, straightened his face, and ordered loudly:

"What is the power of the contract"

"The Last Will Be"

"You are familiar with the sand road, and you have crossed the sand sea twice, and this commander ordered you to take 5,000 soldiers and horses to be the vanguard to open the way, and you must be the first to kill the moraine."

"The Last General's Order"

The Turkic pro-Tang general Qibi He Li once participated in the battle of Tuyuhun, had to marry Princess Lintao of the Tang Dynasty, as a royal family relative, for the Holy Lord's weight, this expedition, he brought nearly 10,000 soldiers, he had already asked to open the way, today he was ordered, and he was ordered to accept it as ordered.

"Niu Jinda"

"The Last Will Be"

Several orders were given, which seemed to be deliberate, and in the end, Hou Junji assigned the military headquarters to accompany Li Tai.

It is interesting to note that except for the Hebei Provincial Army sent by Li Tai himself, the rest of the troops who were assigned to Li Tai were either inexperienced new troops, or they were placed in this military trip with family connections, waiting for idlers to mix up military achievements.

The armies of all walks of life met in front of the Gobi, with a total strength of more than 150,000, and were divided into 20,000 miscellaneous armies.

This attitude made some veterans disagree with him, but they just kept quiet on their faces.

After the meeting was dismissed, Li Tai directly took Ah Sheng and several commanders of Hebei Province back to his camp.

"Lord Wang, isn't it clear that the marshal is underestimating us, marching with the military quartermasters, his life is to live a few more, but when we rush over, I am afraid that the small country of Gaochang has been destroyed, and there is nothing to enjoy."

The big man who spoke was named Fang Gang, nearly forty years old, born with a black head and dirt face, looking like a farmer, in the field, he was a general who had personally participated in the battle of Zhenguan to destroy the East Turkistan in the fourth year, but unfortunately after the victory, because of the offense against the people above, the credit was not obvious, and he fought for more than 20 years, but he only achieved the position of a foreign government to unify the army.

Li Tai only glanced at him, took the sweat towel handed by Ah Sheng and wiped his hands, "Did you find it?" ”

Ah Sheng replied with a smile, "I found it, and I can come over tonight at the latest." ”

Li Tai nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the few people in front of him, and instructed him, "When the people come, take them to meet them." ”

"Yes," Ah Sheng hesitated, bent down and said, "Master, do you want to send someone to invite the second son?" ”

"Hmm."

In this room, except for Li Tai and Ah Sheng, everyone else was confused, didn't understand who the prince wanted them to see, and looked at each other, but Fang Gang, who was straightforward, didn't ask much.

All they were thinking about at this time was the great sand sea they were about to face.

Mohe Yan Moraine, the rumored desert of death.
