Chapter 7 Iron Horse Glacier
Since the last time she met Zhao Xuechi by the Lazy Water River, Chen Hao'er finally had someone to talk to in the army. However, Zhao Xuechi was busy with military affairs, and Chen Hao'er's deputy general was just a fictitious position, and Chen Hao'er stayed alone most of the time.
But once Zhao Xuechi is free, he will go to Chen Hao'er's tent to accompany her to relieve her boredom. Chen Hao'er feels that she is lucky to have become friends with her little idol, so she wants to pester her every day. Zhao Xuechi also takes care of this simple little sister, but whenever there is good food or interesting things, she will definitely be the first to share it with Chen Hao'er, her boring military camp life for several years seems to have become lively and interesting because of this quirky sister.
"Sister Xuechi, we've been stationed and encamped for several days, when will the war start?" Chen Hao'er ate the goat milk cake brought by Zhao Xuechi, and said with a pout.
"Feng'er, fighting is not a joke. The army is tired, and after setting up camp, the soldiers need to adjust their state before they can face the battle. Zhao Xuechi looked at the newly drawn topographic map in his hand, and looked at Chen Feng'er who was stuffing his mouth with a smile.
In the afternoon, Zhao Xuechi was changing the strings of the bow and arrow, and Chen Hao'er leaned next to her and took a nap. I faintly heard some commotion coming from the other tents. Zhao Xuechi was about to get up and go out to see the situation, when a small soldier with a feather on his back hurriedly rushed into the tent. "General Zhao, the Liang army is coming, and it is only a dozen miles away from us. General Chen, please prepare for battle with your archers. ”
Before Chen Hao'er could react, Zhao Xuechi had already rushed out. "Archers assemble and prepare for battle!"
For a time, the sound of weapons colliding, military orders, urging, and hurried footsteps filled the entire military camp. Chen Feng'er was already frightened and sober, and walked out of the tent, and there was a junior general guarding the door, "General Chen, the general has an order, the enemy army is imminent, you must not go out in the tent, so as not to be injured." ”
"That's... What exactly is the situation now? Chen struggled to suppress her fears.
"Little General, the Liang army has approached us, but fortunately, it was discovered in time, and General Chen and all the soldiers have already set off to meet us." The young general replied solemnly.
Chen Hao'er nodded and returned to the tent.
Yu Erbai was right, it turned out that I was so vain. But hasn't there always been no idlers in the army, I'm here, I don't understand anything, like a waste.
Chen Hao'er sighed, but her hanging heart still didn't let go. I just hope that everyone will return safely. On the table, Zhao Xuechi's unfinished military book and topographic map were placed, and Chen Feng'er flipped through them. It seems to be a little different from the military book that my father taught me, but this military book is more about actual combat. The morale of the soldiers just now also stimulated Chen Hao'er's enthusiasm, and she sat cross-legged and read the obscure military books. She secretly made up her mind that she wanted to go to the battlefield with her father and Sister Xuechi to kill the enemy as soon as possible.
The waiting time is always long, Chen Hao'er is guarding the door of the tent, no matter how she says, the young general will not let her go out one step further. She scolded the young general's incomprehensibility while pacing back and forth anxiously. It wasn't until it was getting late that she heard the familiar sound of weapons and military orders again.
Regardless of the young general's obstruction, Chen Hao'er rushed straight out, and a bloody breath rushed straight into her brain. Chen Hao'er didn't have time to retch, so she went straight to General Chen's camp, and the soldiers at the door saw that it was Chen Hao'er, and they didn't stop it.
"Father!!" Chen Feng'er shouted.
Chen Huyan had just taken off his silver helmet, the silver armor on his body was stained with a lot of blood, and his face was tired, but his majesty had not diminished at all.
"Father! You... Are you hurt? Chen Hao'er slowly approached Chen Huyan.
Chen Huyan stretched out his hand to touch his daughter's head, but saw the blood stains on his hands, and his hand stopped in mid-air for a while. "Hao'er, my father is not injured, and the blood stains on his body are all other people's."
"That's... So did we win? Chen held her breath and clenched her fists.
"Silly boy, it's just a temporary repulsion of the enemy, the war is very long, and this is just the beginning." Chen Huyan looked at Chen Hao'er with an anxious face and sighed.
"That's... Father! Can you go with me next time! I've been practicing martial arts for so long! I can kill the enemy! Chen Hao'er said firmly.
Chen Huyan was very surprised, since he saw Chen Hao'er practicing martial arts alone, he had a different view of this newborn daughter, but he never expected that Chen Hao'er was actually a bloody person. Looking at his daughter who seemed to have grown into a mature woman in front of him, Chen Huyan suddenly felt a feeling in his heart that he hadn't had for a long time, "Okay, next time I'll go with my father." ”
Chen Hao'er's frowning brows loosened a little, and before she could speak, Chen Huyan continued, "However, you have to protect yourself." Feng'er, originally my father just wanted you to familiarize yourself with the environment in the army first, since you have ambitions, then my father will satisfy you. It's just that fighting a war is not a child's play, and your life will be threatened at every turn, so you need to pay more attention. ”
Chen Feng'er followed the example of the soldiers, gave a military salute, and said in a dignified manner, "The last general obeys the order!" ”
Chen Huyan's heart shook slightly, he really underestimated this child before. He helped Chen Hao'er up, "We will discuss the military situation later, you can come with you too, and let Xuechi take you." ”
Coming out of Chen Huyan's tent, Chen Hao'er immediately went to find Zhao Xuechi, the pungent smell of blood in the air made her sick to her stomach, she saw the injured soldiers wailing, some of the wounds were deep and the white bones could be seen, and she also saw the military doctors carrying the diagnosis and treatment boxes running around. Chen took a deep breath.
Walking into the tent, a man who looked like a military doctor was giving medicine to Zhao Xuechi's arm.
"Sister Xuechi! Are you hurt! The injury is not serious! Chen Hao'er's heart tightened, and she walked quickly to Zhao Xuechi.
"It's fine, it's just a minor injury, it's not in the way." Zhao Xuechi smiled comfortingly.
"Sister Xuechi, I told my father, next time I will go with you, we will fight side by side."
Zhao Xuechi smiled disappreciably, "Silly Fu'er, how could General Chen joke with your life." ”
Seeing that Chen Hao'er didn't speak, with a serious expression, Zhao Xuechi seemed to be white, this is not a joke. "Hello! Don't mess around! The battlefield is like a place of execution! What are you making a fuss about! ”
"Sister Xuechi, I know martial arts, and I also know a little bit of the art of war, you believe me, I won't hold back!" Chen Hao'er said seriously. Zhao Xuechi looked at Chen Hao'er suspiciously, "Do you really know martial arts?" ”
"That's nature! I've been diligent! "Chen Feng'er is painting in the air." By the way, Sister Xuechi, remember to call me later when you go to your father's tent to discuss matters, and my father will allow it. ”
The capital, the Prince's Mansion.
Du Zhenhe and Yu Nian sat at both ends of the chess game. Du Zhenhe holds the white son, and the rest of the year holds the black child. It seems that the white son has the advantage.
"So when to send troops." Yu Nian asked quietly.
"There's no hurry." Du Zhenhe lazily replied, "The palace guards are empty now, wait for them to slack off for a while." ”
"Hmm."
"For more than a few years, you hate your father like this?" Du Zhenhe raised his eyes slightly and looked at Yu Nian, who lowered his head.
"No, I don't hate him, I just don't think he's a good prime minister."
"Then you would, yes?"
"I don't know."
"Then why should I abolish your father and give you the prime minister."
"Because I'll help you." Yu Nian got down and looked up into Du Zhenhe's eyes.
Du Zhenhe smiled, he never skimped on his smile. "For more than a few years, you are like this, it's not for anyone."
Yu Nian was stunned, and immediately relieved Shen Dao, "Who has no ambition, Yu Nian is just used to seeing the suffering of the world and wants to do something within his ability." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this. ”
"Chen Hao'er?"
Yu Nian's heart tightened, and he said casually, "What's wrong with her?" ”
Du Zhenhe leaned diagonally on the cushion, "I don't want to play chess anymore." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you trying to do when you call me over today?" Yu didn't move for a long time, and continued to take a sunspot.
"Yu Nian, you are a Congyin person. Since you are not here to give Chen Hao'er a stable life, then I will give it to her. ”
Yu Nian was like being thundered, thinking that he had auditory hallucinations, "What did you say?" ”
"Nothing. Do you know why this throne is mine sooner or later, and I still have to force the palace? ”
Yu Nian had turned from shock to anger just now, "What do you want to do to Chen Hao'er?" ”
Du Zhenhe ignored Yu Nian and said to himself, "Because I don't want to wait." I rarely have what I want. ”
Yu Nian grabbed Du Zhenhe's collar, "Don't touch her." ”
Du Zhenhe gently pushed Yu Nian away, "Don't you just want to be the prime minister and give her a rich, stable and happy life, lest she go to the battlefield again." ”
Yu Nian was completely out of control, and he almost yelled, "Who told you this?!" Who?! ”
Du Zhenhe smiled, "Yu Nian, just kidding you, what are you doing so seriously." ”
Yu Nian tried to calm himself down, lowered his voice and asked, "Are you kidding?" ”
Du Zhenhe got up and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Yu Nian, and sneered, "What, do you think I really want to grab a Chen Hao'er with you?" ”
Yu Nian couldn't figure out the seemingly lazy prince in front of him for a while, so he had to look at him silently.
"For the rest of the year, I just reminded you. Don't be stumped by love. The world is in the hands of the two of us. ”
Saibei. General's camp.
Chen Hao'er sat in the middle of the generals, looking a little abrupt.
"General, Vice General Chen has never been to the real battlefield, is it inappropriate to let her participate in such a dangerous battle in the first battle?" A bearded-looking man clenched his fists.
"The last general thinks that it is also the same, Vice General Chen has no combat experience when he first comes to the battlefield, and he is afraid that his life is in danger, so I hope the general will think twice." Someone immediately seconded.
"The last general also believes that Vice General Chen should first familiarize himself with the ...... in the barracks"
Chen Huyan sat on the top seat and did not speak, just looked at Chen Hao'er who was sitting on the side silently.
In fact, what she saw and heard today had a far greater impact on Chen Hao'er than all the things she had experienced in her life combined. The real barracks, the wounded, the smell of blood in the air, the cold clash of weapons, she began to feel like she was dreaming again, and this period of time, life was extremely unreal. Why the hell am I here, why is it so different from what I imagined to be traveling, and if I lost my life, would I ever travel back to the world I had ever had? Chen Hao'er hesitated.
There was silence in the tent.
"General." Zhao Xuechi suddenly got up and knelt down, hugged his fists and said, "The last general thinks that Vice General Chen should participate in this battle." The battlefield is cruel and indiscriminate, and only by meeting the enemy as soon as possible can Vice General Chen take on the great task as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Xuechi's loud voice said that Chen Hao'er's thoughts were pulled back.
yes, wasn't I full of confidence just now? If it comes, it will be safe. My enthusiasm can be regarded as having a place to sway.
Chen Hao'er immediately knelt beside Zhao Xuechi, clenched her fists, and said loudly in her most determined voice.
"Generals, Feng'er knows that the battlefield is dangerous, and my father has already known to me when I was in the house. It's just that Feng'er is in Jiangmen, so she should share her father's worries. And Feng'er herself also has the heart to serve the country, although her martial arts are not strong, but she will never drag you back. I hope that all the generals will be successful. ”
