The third sister drove the horse and galloped. Suddenly, many torches were lit in front of him, and the figures were longing, judging from the shining armor, they should be officers and soldiers.

Li Zhiyun was anxious at first sight: blocking in front, chasing soldiers behind, the big river on the left, and the mountains on the right, what can I do?

"Go up the mountain." The third sister turned over and dismounted, carried him off the horse, and then led the horse and climbed up a mountain trail.

The mountain road is steep, and they trudge with difficulty by taking advantage of the faint light of the sky. After walking for more than an hour, he finally crossed a mountain ridge and walked to a pass, but he saw that the fire was burning under the mountain, which stretched for several miles. It's not good, the officers and soldiers have surrounded the entire mountain, and it is impossible to rush out!

"Sister, what should I do?"

The third sister pondered for a moment and said, "The road is dangerous when it's dark, and the officers and soldiers won't go up the mountain." Let's take refuge in the mountains for a while, and we'll talk about it tomorrow at dawn! After the third sister finished speaking, she took off the saddle, took off the horse's dragon head, slapped the horse's buttocks, and urged the horse to leave.

"Sister, why did you put it away?" Li Zhiyun asked in surprise.

"The mountain road is steep, the horse is useless, if it neighses, it will attract officials and soldiers, it is better to let it escape!"

Then, this horse may have followed the third sister for a long time, and some lovers stood there and refused to leave. The third sister had no choice but to go to the side of the road to break off a branch and whip it on the horse's belly. The horse was in pain, so he fled......

The third sister threw all the reins of the saddle off the cliff next to her, and then took him by the hand and continued to walk. At this time, it was the middle of winter, and the temperature plummeted at night, and it was snowing heavily, so they had to brave the snow to hurry. After walking for half an hour, when it was freezing enough, I found a cave by the side of the road. The siblings picked up some dead branches nearby and tied a torch. The third sister took out the fire sickle she carried, lit the torch, and then took him by the hand and walked into the cave.

The cave is not too deep, but it is quite spacious.

"Let's just rest here for the night!"

The siblings gathered some more dry firewood, lit a bonfire in the cave, and sat around the fire to keep warm. After running around for most of the night, Li Zhiyun was already exhausted, leaning on the big stone next to him, and actually fell asleep. The third sister took off her cloak and put it on his body, then sat back on the stone, looked at the red flames, and fell into deep thought.

After hearing the news of her father's army, she returned to her hometown and resolutely pulled up this peasant army. Because she knew that since she had rebelled against the imperial court, there were only two ways to go: one was to overthrow the imperial court and lay down a country. The second is the tragic extermination of the race. There is no other way.

She believed in her father, but also in her brothers. So, for months, no matter how powerful the enemy was, she never feared or flinched.

Li Zhiyun is still like when he was a child, he likes to grind his teeth when he falls asleep. Looking at her younger brother's immature face, she couldn't help but smile knowingly.

All along, she never doubted her father's foresight, nor did she doubt the talents and abilities of her elder brother Jiancheng, younger brother Shimin and Yuanji. However, what she never expected was that the young brother in front of her, a boy who was only fourteen years old, had amazing wisdom in his head.

Although she has encountered a crisis now, the third sister's confidence is even stronger. She believes that the Li family will be able to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, dominate the world, and create a prosperous China! ……

Li Zhiyun was woken up by freezing. When he opened his eyes, the bonfire had been extinguished, and the third sister was gone, and he was covered with the third sister's cloak. There was a bright light coming in from outside the cave, and it seemed that the sky was already bright. He grabbed his cloak and stood up and walked out of the hole.

Clear! What a lot of snow! The mountains and vegetation were all covered with a thick layer of snow, and the sky and the earth were white.

The third sister was practicing boxing in an open space in front of the cave. Li Zhiyun didn't know what kind of punch she was fighting, but he saw the third sister moving and jumping, and her posture was vigorous, which made him applaud.

The third sister has already practiced sweating. She stopped, took out her towel and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. Li Zhiyun walked over, handed the cloak back to the third sister, and said, "Sister, what kind of punch are you fighting?" Teach me well? ”

The third sister tied her cloak and said, "Wow, I'll teach you when I'm free!" ”

"Sister, in fact, I can also box." Li Zhiyun suddenly became interested, stretched out two fists, and made a dodge after the punch.

"What kind of punch are you?" The third sister asked strangely.

"This is called boxing, don't believe it!" After Li Zhiyun finished speaking, he made a long fist and went straight to the door of the third sister. The third sister stretched out her arm to block it, and her left leg swept away, and Li Zhiyun fell heavily to the ground.

"Sister, are you really kicking?" Li Zhiyun said aggrievedly. The third sister pulled him up with a smile, patted the snow on his body and said, "The snow is thick, it can't be broken!" Besides, it's good for boys to be beaten......" The third sister was talking, suddenly stopped, listened for a moment, and said, "It's not good, the official army has searched the mountain!" ”

When Li Zhiyun heard this, he nervously said: "What should I do?" Let's go into the cave and hide, shall we? ”

"No! This cave is too conspicuous for the officers and soldiers to find soon! Let's look elsewhere! After the third sister finished speaking, she pulled him to run, but suddenly remembered something, walked over and broke off a branch from the tree, swept away all the footprints on the clearing, and then motioned him to run to the opposite hillside, and swept the footprints while retreating.

The snow is still falling, and after the swept snow is covered with another layer, there is no trace at all.

The siblings retreated to a hill, and as soon as they lay down in a wooded place, they saw a group of officers and soldiers walking along the mountain road.

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers soon discovered the cave. A soldier came in and reported to an officer: "General, there is no one in the cave, but there is a bonfire!" The officer pondered for a moment and said, "Since they were in the cave last night, they must not have gone far." Everyone scattered, searching carefully! ”

As a result, the officers and soldiers all spread out and searched all over the mountains and fields. The officer, leading a group of soldiers, walked slowly towards the place where the siblings were hiding.

The officials and soldiers got closer and closer, and Li Zhiyun's chest was like a little rabbit, jumping "suddenly". At this time, the third sister put her mouth next to his ear and whispered: "Later, when they approach, you lie on your stomach and don't move, I'll lure them away!" He nodded slightly.

The soldiers who walked in front were only a few steps away from them, and Li Zhiyun's heart was about to jump out of his throat. The third sister was about to jump up to lure away the official army, when a soldier suddenly ran over from behind and said loudly: "General, for some reason, there is a sudden chaos under the mountain!" ”

All the officers and soldiers stopped. The officer furrowed his brows and ordered the soldier, "Go and see, what the hell is going on?" As soon as his words fell, another soldier ran behind him and said loudly: "Report to the general, the big thing is not good!" Our rear team has been attacked by the rebels! ”

"What?" When the officer heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "All of you will go down the mountain with me!" ”

Li Zhiyun was relieved when he saw that the officers and troops had retreated.

The group of officers and soldiers ran very fast, and after a while there was no trace. The third sister got up from the snow, pulled Li Zhiyun up, patted the snow on his body for him, and then pulled him to run to the top of a mountain next to him. The sisters and brothers ran to a high place, only to see that at the foot of the mountain, two teams of men and horses were fighting, on one side was the official army, and on the other side was the rebel army. The officers and troops are retreating. On the side of the rebels, a group of cavalry galloped over, waving flags in the wind, and one of the white banners had three big characters written on it: "Li Shentong".

"It's Uncle Cousin! Uncle Cousin is here to support us! The third sister said excitedly. When Li Zhiyun heard this, he jumped up with joy: It's really good!

The sister and brother ran down the mountain panting hand in hand, stepping on the thick snow, and stood by the official road.

The cavalry galloped in, and on the leading steed sat a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sturdy build, a large square face, bronzed skin, and a short beard under his chin. He rolled over and dismounted, and walked over with a smile.

The third sister hurriedly hugged her fists and said, "Uncle Cousin, it's hard work!" Uncle Tang had a bold personality and a loud voice, and said with a smile: "Early this morning, I heard that the 'Women's Army' was attacked at night, and immediately reorganized the soldiers and horses to rush to help!" ......" was talking, and suddenly found Li Zhiyun standing on the side, quite surprised: "Hey, isn't this Zhiyun?" Didn't you say that you were victimized by the Netherworld? How are you still alive? ”

Li Zhiyun raised his head and said: "My life is big, what can the Yin Master Shi do to me?" ”

"Good boy, there's a kind!" Uncle Cousin walked over with a smile and patted Li Zhiyun's thin shoulder hard, almost not patting him down!

"There is also good news for you," Uncle Tang said, "the eldest brother and the completed team have reached the city of Chang'an, and the team of the people of the world has also arrived in Weibei. The eldest brother sent a messenger to let us go to Weibei to join the people of the world and accept his command! ”

Li Yuan is about to enter Chang'an City? Li Zhiyun was very happy to hear the news, but when he heard that he was going to join his second brother and accept his command, he couldn't help but mutter.

Uncle Cousin hugged Li Zhiyun to his horse, then stepped on the horse, lifted the reins and said, "Boy, Uncle Cousin will take you into the city!" ”

A knight in the back led the horse over and handed over his horse to the third sister. The third sister stepped on the horse, followed her cousin, and the group of people galloped towards Wugong County......

The official army occupying the county town was flanked by several rebel armies and retreated in a hurry.

The snow had stopped, and when they entered the county seat, they saw that they were full of devastation, ruins and broken walls, and corpses were everywhere on the streets, some of which had been covered with a layer of snow, and it was a miserable scene.

Everyone turned over and dismounted, leading their horses, all with solemn faces and silent voices.

Li Zhiyun looked around, and suddenly saw Scarface directing people to carry the body on the side of the street, and hurriedly ran over and patted his arm. Scarface looked back and saw that it was him, and only then did a little smile appear on his tense face.

"Are you alright? That's great! ”

"It's fine." Scarface said lightly, "Although we didn't rush out of the city last night, I led a dozen brothers to guard a courtyard, and the officers and soldiers couldn't rush in!" Early this morning, the officers and troops retreated......"

While the two were talking, they saw Yinggu running over in a hurry. Li Zhiyun jokingly said: "Aunt Ying, you weren't arrested by the official army?" ”

Yinggu pouted and said, "The officers and soldiers can't catch me!" I hid in a house's water tank and waited for them to leave before I came out! ”

Seeing that they were all fine, Li Zhiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

In this battle, the "women's army" lost thousands of people. The third sister collected the scattered brothers, and there were still seven or eight thousand people left. Later, several other rebel armies allocated some men and horses to the "Women's Army", and together, the "Women's Army" had more than 10,000 people.

So, the third sister led more than 10,000 people to Weibei to join the second brother's army......
