Fu He had been in Jianzhou for five years, during which time he had been transferred from a civilian official to a military attache - a thousand-household official.

Early in the morning, he would put on a suit of armor, a longbow and a quiver, and then step on his horse and begin to patrol the walls.

When the weather is cold, he wears a thick cloak, leather bracers on his arms, and his eyes are full of determination and determination.

However, although Fu He has become a thousand-household official, his road to promotion is not smooth.

Although he was literate and literate, he had no background, so he wanted to be promoted by military merit.

On each expedition, he always picked the most dangerous tasks and led his soldiers into battle.

He galloped across the river with a spear in hand, and behind him were groups of soldiers fighting bravely to kill the enemy.

Every time he won, he always silently prayed for the soldiers, raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and felt the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield and the joy of victory.

However, although Fu He performed well on the battlefield, he was not promoted because he was not qualified enough.

Fu He began to become reticent and no longer as enthusiastic as before.

He began to walk around the city walls, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, thinking about his future.

He knew that only by relying on more exploits could he get greater honors and promotions.

So Fu He began to work harder, and every time he went out with the belief of victory.

He led his soldiers to capture the enemy's fortress again and again, and ushered in the joy of victory again and again.

Fu He began to become more confident and determined, and no longer struggled with promotion.

He knew that as long as he kept trying, then victory and glory would be at his feet.

This time he was ordered to go to the border to quell the rebellion, and when he heard about the prestige of the general Zhenguo, he wanted to defect to the command of the general Zhenguo.

General Zhenguo is the most powerful general in Daxu, and if he can serve under his command, what an honor!

But he thought that General Zhenguo had a marriage contract with the woman he loved, and he hesitated again.

At this moment, he was standing at the door of a teahouse, hesitating, not knowing whether to advance or retreat!

A familiar voice came into his ears, and he turned his head suddenly, only to see Fu Yuanmei walking over with her personal maid.

"Little sister, is that you?" Fu He exclaimed in surprise.

Fu Yuanmei was specially dressed up today, wearing a light blue gauze dress, with snow-white skin, like a fairy.

Her hair is pulled up high, with gold and silver beads inserted into it, and her temperament is refined, elegant and dusty.

Fu He looked at Fu Yuanmei, his eyes were full of inquiry, as if he wanted to see a little flaw in her face, but he was disappointed.

"Fu He, are you also coming for tea?" Fu Yuanmei asked with a smile.

"Hmm."

"Then sit down!" Fu Yuanmei greeted Fu He.

The two siblings sat down at a table and ordered a few pots of tea at random.

"I heard that you resigned from your position as a civil official and became a thousand-household official, what? Have you figured out what your future path will be? ”

"Yes, in the past five years, I have been studying hard and taking the imperial examination. However, I was never able to participate in the imperial examination. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because my father and mother wanted me to be an official and make the whole family glorious. But ......."

Fu He shook his head.

Fu Yuanmei sighed and comforted: "Fu He, since you have chosen this path, I believe you will succeed!" ”

Fu He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know either!"

At this time, Xiao Er came with a pot of hot tea.

Fu Yuanmei poured herself a glass.

"Last time, I hope you don't stop there....... Uh, sad heart! ”

Fu Yuanmei was about to explain, but before she finished speaking, she felt that her throat was a little thirsty.

Fu Yuanmei poured Fu He a cup of tea again.

"I can't drink it, I'll go back first."

Fu Yuanmei picked up the burden and turned around to leave.

Fu He stretched out his arm to stop her.

"You ......."

Fu Yuanmei looked up in surprise.

"Alas—actually, I figured it out! Sister Xiaomei has someone she likes, I ....... No, but I won't give up my efforts, and sooner or later, I'll be famous!"

Fu Yuanmei smiled and nodded vigorously.

She was a little happy in her heart.

Fu He looked at Fu Yuanmei, and sighed secretly in his heart, Sister Xiaomei's appearance, I'm afraid a man is reluctant to give up.

"Actually, the battle situation in Xunyang is already very tense! This time, we are facing the Western Xia Dynasty. They have hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen! It is said that their leader is an invincible general! This battle is related to the survival of the entire Daxu. ”

When Fu Yuanmei heard Fu He's words, her heart was shocked.

She always thought that Daxu was already very strong, after all, the soldiers in Daxu were well-trained, and they were commanded by Wu Jinfan, the general of the Zhenguo.

But they didn't expect that they would have to face a more powerful enemy.

It's just too dangerous.

"I....... I want to check it out. ”

Fu Yuanmei suddenly mustered up the courage to say, her eyes flashing with an unusually resolute light.

"No way!" Fu He rejected Fu Yuanmei.

"I....... I just want to see with my own eyes how this war is fought! ”

"This battle is going to be fought soon! I can't take that risk. ”

"But I have to see it with my own eyes!"

"No way!"

Fu He still refused to let go.

Fu Yuanmei suddenly got angry.

War? She doesn't understand. But she knows that war represents death, bloodshed and sacrifice. She doesn't want to see anyone she loves hurt in any way.

"Why?"

Fu He was stunned, why is this fool so confused? Where did this world come from, so many why.

"However, my father is still fighting bloodily outside Xunyang City, and I want to see him return triumphantly with my own eyes!"

Fu Yuanmei's tone became cold, and she was emotional.

Her tears fell, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was very moving.

"I ........" Fu He was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and he couldn't bear to refuse Fu Yuanmei again.

Seeing such a situation, Fu He was a little flustered, "Okay! I promise you! ”

"Really? You don't lie to me? “

"What am I lying to you for?" Fu He smiled.

Fu He took her to the city wall, and Fu He said to her from the hill in the distance: "Look, there is Xunyang City, and it is in front." That big mountain is called Xunyang Mountain, which is the barrier in the north of Daxu, and there is a lake on its east side, which is called Huzhou. ”

Fu Yuanmei looked in the direction of Fu He's finger, a rolling mountain, majestic and magnificent, which was breathtaking.

"Xunyang Mountain, so beautiful, this is the scenery I want!"

Fu He nodded, and he looked into the distance.

It is now the August of the first year of Dajia, and the cold wind is blowing from the northwest, whistling through the flag, making a crisp sound.

The ribbons on the flagpole are blown by the wind, like a flock of cheerful butterflies fluttering.

The guards standing on the tower were wrapped in thick fur robes, covering their palms, and rubbing them constantly.

Their faces were red from the cold wind, and the exhalations from their mouths turned into white mist, floating in the air.

The mountains in the distance, covered with a thin layer of snow, look like a white veil.

The clouds on the horizon also became low and heavy, as if they would fall at any moment.

Groups of soldiers, dressed in heavy armor and armed with spears, stepped out of the city gates, stepped on the snow, and marched into the distance.

They all had resolute expressions on their faces, as if the cold wind had no effect on them.

The general at the gate of the city, armed with a long sword and wearing a brocade robe, stood on a high platform and looked down on the ranks of the soldiers.

His brow was furrowed, and his gaze was determined, as if he wanted to capture all his enemies.

Tension was burning throughout the city, but everyone was silently bearing the pressure, ready for the battle to come.

The earth began to tremble, and a strong killing aura rushed towards it, and the air froze.

"Woo woo woo ~ ~ woo woo woo ......"

The sound of trumpets echoed melodiously on the empty battlefield, accompanied by the roar of horses' hooves on the ground, countless cavalry charged into battle, and the slaughter was extremely fierce.

The beacon fire in the distance continued.

"Have you really decided to go to war?"

Fu He saw that Fu Yuanmei's gaze was extremely firm, and she had already made up her mind that even if she died nine times a lifetime, she would go to the battlefield.

"Tomorrow, General Zhenguo will dispatch more than ninety percent of Qi Jianzhou's soldiers and horses to aid Xunyang!"

After hearing this, Fu Yuanmei opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Fu He continued: "I won't persuade you to back down, maybe this time, you won't have a chance to come back." If you change your mind, I will send you back at once, and I will not hinder you. ”

Fu Yuanmei was silent for a long time.

"I'm not coming back! You're right, the battlefield is the place where people are tempered the most! I'm going to the battlefield to sharpen myself! ”

"If you figure it out, you can send someone to tell me! We stay in touch at all times. ”

Fu Yuanmei nodded heavily.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and then everything was silent.

..............

The next day, a huge army of soldiers and horses was assembled and prepared to rush to the battlefield in Xunyang (south).

The sound of war drums was deafening, and the neighing of war horses resounded in the sky.

—————————————————

A horse was at the forefront of the battle array, and the knight on the horse was wearing a helmet and armor, and his left arm was hung with a handsome badge with red tassels and long tassels.

This is a brave and good fighter!

He is Wu Jinfan, the general of Zhenguo!

Wu Jinfan was wearing thick armor at the moment, holding the 'Zhangba Snake Spear', hanging a saber from his waist, sitting on horseback, mighty and domineering.

He looked at his subordinates and asked solemnly, "Brothers! Our homeland is at war! What should we do as men? ”

His men replied with enthusiasm: "Kill the enemy!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

......

Wu Jinfan was very relieved to see that their morale was so high.

"Our enemies are the Tanguts, they are brutal and fierce, bloodthirsty and mad, and we will protect our people to the death! Defend our city! ”

"Defend the people! Defend the city! ”

"I'm going to follow General Zhenguo to the death!"

"Kill, enemy!"

"The whole army has it, all of them!" 、

"Yes!"

...........

"Expedition!"

"Expedition, defend against the enemy!"

Wu Jinfan took the lead in riding his horse and rushed out.

The army followed closely.

"Expedition!"

"Kill!"
