In the battles of this era, the early preparations were long, the marches were long, and the confrontation was long, but when the battle really started, it was often only a matter of half a day to a day from the two armies to the victory and defeat.

In half a day, a river of blood can flow.

It's just that the grassland is vast, and there are small battles between the two sides of the war, and there are victories and defeats in the middle, and each has its own advance and retreat, and the various departments of the grassland and the five towns in the north gallop to each other's aid, the attack and defense have changed shapes several times, and the pursuit and struggle coexist, and the right wolf king and the left wolf king have been destroyed, and the Golden Horde court raised its arms, and the old and young men on the grassland in the rear rode on their horses, looking for the subject country to ask for some more people, and it was another army.

There are few demons in the middle, and Taoists naturally rarely make moves, but they have always followed the army.

When the march continued for dozens of miles, the Taoist walked on the hill next to him. General Chen led the elite cavalry to raid and behead, and the Taoist was also watching from the side. The two sides of the Starlight River Valley fought a decisive battle, invested 300,000 elite soldiers, and buried 100,000 sons from noon to dusk.

It's just that what you see with the naked eye and what you read from the history books are actually two completely different feelings.

In this way, from midsummer to late autumn, as the last Saibei army fled into the grassland, the northern border army led by General Chen pursued 800 miles, and the war was completely won.

However, General Chen felt that it was not enough.

Whether he had enough or not, Song You had already stayed here enough, so he packed his bags again and was about to leave.

General Chen heard the news from Zhang Junshi, and he also took time out of his busy schedule to send him off in person.

Seeing that Song You had packed his luggage and the horses were all covered with quilt bags on their backs, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked out loud:

"Sir, you're leaving?"

"I have been in the army long enough, I have seen the demeanor of the general, and I have seen this great victory, which is very fortunate. Now that the general has won, he should not stay for long. Song You said to the general, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky, the autumn was crisp, it was a sunny day, "Look down at the weather today, it's time to set off." ”

"In this great victory, Mr. has made great contributions, and the entire Northern Army and Da Yan have been favored by Mr." General Chen said to him, "But don't you even drink a meal of practice wine?" ”

"Never dare to say that."

Song You avoided snakes and scorpions, and immediately said: "There is no merit, what you do is just to return the disputes in the world to others, as for the victory or defeat, it is up to the soldiers to decide." ”

After speaking, he said to General Chen:

"The army is busy, so I won't bother much, and the general also knows that he doesn't like too noisy environments, so he will leave."

"It's fine."

General Chen didn't stay long, and he knew that he couldn't keep it.

A person like Mr. Song, even if he is not an immortal in the mortal world, is also a wild crane in the mountains, how can he stay in the same place for a long time when he wanders in the mortal world?

It's time to leave.

It's just a symbolic question.

Then he turned around and beckoned behind him.

Immediately, a junior colonel came over, holding a neatly folded, heavy earthy yellow blanket in his hand.

Although the color of the blanket is not gorgeous, it is smooth and bright.

"Sir, do you remember the bear demon that was killed under the city on the day Mr. first came? Chen invited the best craftsman in the army to tann it into a blanket, knowing that it was inconvenient for Mr. to carry, he only took the whole piece of the flattest and soft abdomen and waist, but it was also the size of a bed. This fur is impermeable, unstained, and very warm, and I only hope that when my husband sleeps in the wild, he can live warmer. ”

As he spoke, General Chen took the blanket from the colonel's hand, handed it to Song You, and added:

"When Mr. first came, he killed this bear demon, and today Mr. left, taking this blanket with him, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end."

General Chen said it very well, and it is difficult for people not to accept it.

Song You looked down at the fur on his hand, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it, it was really soft and smooth.

I just took my hand back anyway.

It's a pity that this bearskin blanket is too thick, and it is not impossible to carry it, but you have to throw away the previous wool blanket and wool felt.

What's more, it's something from a youkai.

Although demons are demons and have harmed countless people, they already have spiritual wisdom, and cultivators like Song You, especially those who cultivate in the Qing Dynasty, it is better not to be contaminated.

So Song You said to General Chen: "Although the fur of this bed is good, it is too fluffy, and it is inconvenient for us to carry it when we walk the world." What's more, we have a bed of wool felt and a wool blanket, although it is not as precious as this bear skin, but it is also the heart of the old friend, it has been used for five years, and it has long been used to it, and it can not be lost, and it is reluctant, this bed of bear skin blanket will be left to the general, just enough to barely set off a little bit of the general's peerless majesty. ”

"This is a gentleman's ......"

"For the general."

"Okay."

General Chen is not a person who grinds, so he had to sigh, regretting in his heart, he knew that this was the case, so he would not cut it, and how good it would be to take a piece of the giant bear fur with a complete lead.

But he's not a man who likes to get tangled.

Soon put the bearskin blanket back into the hands of the little school, and asked Song You, "Where did Mr. go next?" ”

"Go back to Yanzhou first, then go to Yuezhou, Zhaozhou, Hanzhou, Gwangju, and return to Changjing via Hezhou."

"At the end of this battle, Your Majesty is afraid that you will also summon me to the court." When General Chen said this, he didn't have much joy, his face was very calm, and he only bowed his hand to him, "Maybe I can see Mr. again in Changjing." ”

"How long is this battle left?"

"I have sent someone to hurry back to Beijing and send my handwritten letter, depending on whether Your Majesty will allow it."

"I see."

Song You nodded, squinting at him.

Then he also gave him his hand, and turned away with a smile.

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through my mind.

What General Chen said just now is that His Majesty should not allow it is a matter of continuing to lead the troops north.

This place has already entered Saibei, hundreds of miles away from the border of Dayan, but General Chen still wants to continue to march his troops, before the winter on the grassland comes, and then pursue deeply, and defeat the Saibei root in one fell swoop. Or wait until the beginning of spring next year and then wave your troops north, like attacking from the north to the south, and go to the depths of the enemy.

The one in the palace will be entangled in it.

Song You knew when he was in Changjing that Emperor Dayan had already intended to go on a northern expedition, and this was the best time.

But he had already been suspicious of Chen Ziyi, after this battle, Chen Ziyi's prestige went to a higher level, if he entered the north again, it would be a miracle to wait until he returned from victory. After these years of war, the Zhenbei army is full of elites, and the number of people alone has already exceeded the central strength, and the combat power is not a level, most of them are in the hands of Chen Ziyi. The border army in the Western Regions is also elite, but the number is not as good as that of Zhenbei, in the face of such a powerful and powerful person who can also recruit and fight well, how can the DPRK not be afraid.

It was a tangle far away in Changjing.

And Chen Ziyi in front of him doesn't know about this?

When Song You came back from Beiqin Mountain, he met Chen Ziyi who accompanied the two princes back from hunting halfway, so he tentatively asked Song You if he knew how to calculate divination and survey fate, saying that he wanted to consult Song You.

Who do you want to ask Song You?

It was only some time ago that I met Song You at the night banquet in the palace, so I wanted to know if the emperor invited Song You and specially invited him to go, whether Song You was good at this and the emperor wanted to use this method to see if he had the destiny to rebel. At that time, if Song You said that he knew about divination, I was afraid that he would have to test what Song You said in front of the emperor.

After getting along with each other during this time, Song You also knew a little about the general.

Chen Ziyi most likely has no heart to rebel.

As for his character......

There are several kinds of famous generals-

Some are fighting for fame and fortune, and most of them will be satisfied when fame and fortune are harvested. Some are fighting for the peace of their home and country, and most of them will be satisfied after maintaining peace. Others are because they like to fight.

However, there is a contradiction between human beings, few people are pure people, and most people are complex and changeable.

Chen Ziyi probably has the latter two.

The proportions are unknown.

Continuing to go north this time is naturally to win a longer peace for Dayan, but a person like Chen Ziyi, who was born to fight, is afraid that he is also obsessed with this feeling.

Chen Ziyi knew that the current emperor was as martial as himself, and he was definitely willing to go north, but he also knew that the emperor was suspicious of him and did not want to continue to sit big.

I also knew that after I left Beijing last year, at the end of the year, a delegation from a small country in the Western Regions that was almost destroyed entered Beijing and assassinated the emperor with evil methods. Then the emperor didn't know whether he was frightened or infected with sequelae, his health deteriorated, and he heard that the number of times he went to the court was getting less and less, and the princess in the court gained power, and it was turbulent for a while. But I don't know if the emperor deliberately did it, and the bureau wanted to confuse who would harm whom, or if it was true. If this is the case, it is not known whether the emperor will have the ambition to make such a decision, or if there is still some power in the emperor's hands.

I don't know if the emperor will agree, I don't know if the emperor will summon him to the court in a few days, kill him or replace him, or set up some kind of situation.

But if it goes on like this, even if everything goes well, can people like Chen Ziyi have even a good death throughout the ages?

Both sides are tangled, tangled.

“……”

Thinking of this, Song You's expression also changed slightly.

"What are you thinking?"

The voice of the three-flowered cat came from beside him.

"Interesting thing."

Song You lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

"What's interesting?"

"Don't say."

"Where are we going?"

"Go to Liaoxinguan."

"Oh......"

The world ahead is vast, and before you know it, the grassland has turned from green to golden, but the blue sky and white clouds are still there, and the temperature during the day is just right, which is a good time to start a new journey.

The three-flower cat took a small step, walked beside him and occasionally turned his head to look at him strangely, the pace of the jujube red horse seemed to have not changed for a few years, the Taoist couldn't help but stretch his waist, and temporarily put away his thoughts about these, and only continued to walk forward.

History has its own course of history.

will always give their own answers.

It's just that I don't know how the world will comment on thousands of years later, and how future generations will figure out the important nodes in history that are currently underway.
