……

On the day of departure, hundreds of officials sent each other off.

His Majesty did not come.

Xue Yuxiao rode on the snow-stepping black horse, his long hair was tied up, he was wearing silver light armor, and he was wearing a white robe underneath. She looked at Li Qingchou, who was secretly flirting with the Yuan family's Xiaolangjun, yawned slowly, and said casually: "How long are you going to stare at each other?" I'm tired if you're not tired. ”

Because Yuan Fangtuo was in front, the little couple couldn't talk and chat in person, but could only secretly send Qiu Bo, and express a thousand words from their eyes.

Li Qingchou stared at the back of Yuan Yi getting into the car, and said: "I have been crowned uncle, what kind of military function do you want to seal the marquis of Wanhu, and ask them for marriage at the Runan Gaomen." ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Well, if you cut off the head of the Three Imperial Maidens Tuoba Infant, of course this ten thousand household marquis will get it." ”

Li Qingchou actually really thought about it.

Xue Yuxiao was afraid that she would be impulsive in order to take the enemy's head, so she immediately pressed Li Qingchou's shoulder: "Don't worry, don't worry." I casually said, don't be too aggressive and hurt yourself. ”

"I know." Li Qing replied worriedly, "...... What about Pei Langjun, why don't you see it? ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "I didn't let him come." He is a reserved and decent person, and he is too demanding of his own image, if he is asked to say goodbye in person, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the tears on the spot, how can he let Pei Lang cry in public? …… My affection for him is not to be poured out in tears. ”

When Li Qingchou heard this, he was stunned. It wasn't until the march out of Jingzhao fifty miles that he suddenly came back to his senses and asked hesitantly: "You are not afraid that you will shed tears, right?" ”

Xue Yuxiao didn't answer directly, but said, "Do you say that Your Majesty will stop you from making meritorious contributions?" ”

"Your Majesty?" Li Qingchou frowned, "Block, me?" ”

Xue Yuxiao didn't say it directly, because in the original book, this expedition was actually only written about Li Qingchou's outstanding achievements. She is highly meritorious, and the people of Xuzhou only know the prestige of Li Xianxianguan, and almost forget the surname of the imperial city, Xie. When she won successive battles and knocked several Xianbei generals off her horse, the emperor issued a truce and summoned the army back to Beijing.

At that time, Li Qingchou was attacking a camp of the Three Princesses on the front line, capturing and killing Tuoba Ying's personal guards, because the truce decree came, the various departments hesitated, and Tuoba Ying was taken away. Although the battle was won, it was a tragic victory, the Eastern Qi State was unable to continue to attack, and the Xia State was also bitten hard, and fled from Xuzhou in embarrassment, and did not commit it again for two years.

Therefore, Xue Yuxiao is actually full of confidence in Li Qingchou's ability. As a prison officer, she basically won't make any military achievements, which is a good time for her Li Niangzi to play.

Li Qingchou said, "I'm just a little military general, why is this?" Even if I can really make military achievements, does she think I have the ability to overturn the chessboard......"

Xue Yuxiao said: "As a war overseer, I will only attract fear and fear, and I will not have meritorious deeds." If you can really marry Yuan Yi and get the support of the Yuan family, who will not give face in the name of this upstart? ”

Before the words fell, Li Furong, who was on the other side of the two, drove over. Her face was cold, her eyes were gloomy and mean, she didn't look very easy to get along with, she glanced at Li Qingchou, and said: "Bai Qianhu is still dressed so shabby, the vanguard officer is facing the enemy in front of the formation, don't let Hu Nu laugh off her teeth." ”

Li Qingchou's armor did not cover all of his body, but only blocked key parts, revealing the simple clothes underneath. She didn't reply, and muttered to Xue Yuxiao: "The one who doesn't give face is here." ”

Li Furong's gaze crossed Li Qingchou, as if ridiculing Li Qingchou was just a part of talking to Xue Yuxiao. Her gaze turned around Xue Yuxiao harshly, and saw that her armor was solid, her sword was sharp, and her heroic posture had a slight hint of breadth and gentleness, and she provoked and said: "Wearing white clothes on the battlefield, is there a male slave accompanying you in your own army to serve you and wash your battle robes?" ”

Xue Yuxiao whispered to Li Qingchou: "You see she even scolds me." ”

Li Furong raised her voice: "Prison officer." ”

Xue Yuxiao raised his head: "Don't scream." If your troops retreat past my Xue Banner, my sword will be merciful. ”

Li Furong said coldly: "There are deserters under my command? Jokes, if there is such a discredited bastard, I will kill it first. ”

Xue Yuxiao was powerless to argue with her, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, can you stop pestering me, the winter is windy, and I want to cough." ”

Li Furong glanced at her and snorted coldly, only then did she stop provoking. But she still didn't go, but walked closely to their horses, revealing an awkward feeling of wanting to get closer, but not wanting to get too close.

In front of her, Li Qingchou had no choice but to mention other things and pretend to chat: "Chanjuan, have you heard that there is a Taoist sect in the land of Jing and Xiang...... What is it called, Taoist Ming Shengguan. It seems that there are also people in the land of Tongzhou. ”

Xue Yuxiao's eyelids jumped, you really can't open a pot. She said expressionlessly, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, it was my friends in the rivers and lakes who wrote to me about it." Li Qingchou didn't know his friend's nervousness, slapped Xue Yuxiao on the back, and said with a smile, "I have a few friends in the rivers and lakes who have also started, speaking of which, compared to the Taoist sect, it is more like a sect of the rivers and lakes...... Teach people to practice martial arts and archery, strengthen the body, the scriptures don't talk much, only know that there is a great goddess. ”

I don't talk much about the loss, according to the level of Zhou Shaolan and a few people, it's okay to fool the common people and people in the rivers and lakes, and I want to fool Li Qingchou...... Xue Yuxiao's back tightened, and he wanted to recompile a Taoist classic for them.

Oh, it's okay to fool Fleur Niang. Xue Yuxiao glanced over slowly.

Li Furong was puzzled.

"The Most Holy Celestial Maiden is said to be compassionate and universal to all sentient beings. Their followers set up shops at various post crossings to give passers-by a rest, provide tea and food, and spread their teachings. Maybe we'll pass by and see it in a few days. Li Qingchou said, "Ming Shengguan's move is very chivalrous, I really want to get acquainted with the great heavenly girl inside." ”

Xue Yuxiao glanced at her, and said in his heart, wait, I will change the vest to see you next time, and let you get your wish.

She has been silent, but Li Furong frowned and said: "Don't ask for anything in return, maybe you have other plans, first give a small favor and a small favor, and then try to do something big from it, this kind of thing has not been uncommon since the Spring and Autumn Period, you really think that it is a good person, and eighty percent will also gather people to disrupt stability." ”

Xue Yuxiao: "......"

It seems to have gotten smarter.

Li Furong turned her head and suddenly asked, "General Xue, did you say?" ”

Xue Yuxiao was suddenly asked by her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "...... I don't know how many of these non-governmental organizations there are, and no one supports them, but they are just petty fights, and they don't need to be taken seriously. Let's talk about the unity of the various tribes of Xianbei. ”

Chapter 72

More than ten days later, at the end of the first month of the seventh year of Yongshi, the march arrived in Xuzhou.

The city of Xuzhou has been occupied by the Xianbei Xia tribe, and its army has plundered grain, cloth, and utensils everywhere, and plundered men as slaves in the city, so that a huge city has ten rooms and nine emptiness, and it is a withered situation.

When crossing the Qinghe River along the way, the Qinghe River was too garrisoned with military rations and blades to wait, and handed over to General Huan, who led the troops. Born from the Cui clan of Qinghe, the county guard was one of the few local officials who loved the people like a woman, and she did not want the people of Qinghe County to be invaded by the Xianbei Hu tribe, even if there was little hope of victory - judging from the historical battles, the Qi dynasty lacked brave generals who could boost morale. Even so, Cui Taishou still has a glimmer of hope.

After crossing the Qing River, the closer to Xuzhou City, the more the chaotic scene of the exile of the people is revealed. The group gradually held their breath and cleaned up, and no one could talk and laugh easily. The camp was stationed in a safe area, and as soon as reinforcements arrived, they negotiated with the local defense to reassure the people.

After being stationed, it was night, and everyone gathered to discuss the matter.

Huan Chengfeng was born in Jiangmen, although this person has foresight, but she herself is not good at heads-up in front of the battle. Eastern Qi has not produced a single fierce general who can face in front of the battle for nearly fifty years. According to the tradition of warfare since the late Han Dynasty, before both sides beat the drums to attack the city, they would send a general to fight it on the horse, and the winner not only boosted morale, but also often gained the upper hand in the negotiations between the two sides, so it gradually became a tradition.

Of course, there are times when this tradition is abandoned. If the boss feels that there are no generals under his command to fight, he may also suddenly fight against the siege. But if you do so, you will inevitably be accused of "indecent manners".

According to the spy report, in addition to the 2,000 Tiefutu under Tuoba Ying's command, counting the militia service women, there are about 10,000 people in total. There are about 5,000 people who really have actual combat capability. Huan Er was rewarded by the spies, and presented it to his mother as he spoke, "Our army is four times larger, even if they are elite, can they not capture a city temporarily occupied by Tuoba Ying?" ”

Huan Er is still young, and she is a tiger girl. She thought things were too simple.

"What does it have to do with the strength of the army, if you want to talk about the population, can the Hu tribe who are nomadic and herding sheep on horseback compare to the population of the Central Plains? It is not uncommon to be several times the enemy, and it is still not victorious. A middle-aged lieutenant spoke.

"The Iron Floating Massacre is very powerful, all men and horses are wearing armor, and ordinary soldiers are difficult to enter the helmet. As a princess, she can only take out two thousand elites at most, and these heavy cavalry are formed into a formation, like a chariot, invincible. Xiao Pingyu said.

Xue Yuxiao has almost understood all this information. Just as she was silent, Huan Chengfeng suddenly turned his head to look at her and asked, "What is the opinion of the little general?" Is tomorrow's siege too sudden? ”

Xue Yuxiao leaned against his chin and said slowly: "We don't know the truth and reality of each other. It is true that the combat power is not high, but it is also true that the strength of the troops is several times that of people. Even if the city is attacked tomorrow, it will only be a test of each other, and she Tuoba Ying should follow the tradition she learned from us to send generals out of the city to face the enemy first, so as to reduce morale and kill prestige. ”

This statement is roughly the same as what Huan Chengfeng thought. General Huan frowned and said, "She knows that Daqi has been a nameless general for a long time. ”

"The whole world knows about this." Xue Yuxiao sighed, she quickly smiled again, and said, "But the general can meet the battle, she attacks without telling her, and her virtue is at a loss, we will recover Xuzhou and occupy righteousness, and we can't let the Xianbei people accuse us in turn." ”

Huan Chengfeng looked at the Li sisters.

Although the two of them were fierce generals, before they fought against Tuoba Ying's subordinates, Huan Chengfeng was not sure in her heart, she continued to ask Xue Yuxiao: "You seem to be confident?" ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Uncle Dingzhan's martial arts have few opponents, and Uncle Yongwu has not yet asked for battle, he has already been murderous, in the past, it was just that the time had not come, and now it will be replaced by us to kill their morale." ”

Huan Chengfeng stared at her for a long time, remembering Xue Yuxiao's performance when attacking Shuizhai, he decided to believe her vision, and said, "Okay!" It's a pity that you shouldn't fight, I really want to see the ability of the Marquis of Triumph. ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "The last general is just the person who supervises the battle and supervises the beheading, besides, if you look at the overall situation, how can you get a glimpse of the formation of the heavy cavalry of the Iron Floating Slaughter, in order to find a way to deal with it?" ”

The conversation between the two did not avoid the others. When everyone heard this, they must have been in their hearts - I don't know why, such words of trust and determination coming out of other people's mouths will cause doubts most of the time, but when they come out of Xue Yuxiao's mouth, it seems to be destined for heaven's will, which makes people feel a sense of trust in their hearts.

The sixteen guards led by Huan Chengfeng were the central army, and Li Qingchou and Li Furong were the left vanguard officers and the right vanguard officers respectively, leading a thousand pro-army and archers from the left and right armies.

Since it was a temptation, there was no intention of doing all its best to fall in one fell swoop. After everyone finished discussing in the middle of the night, they dispersed, Xue Yuxiao stepped out of the big tent, sighed in the palm of his hand in the cold winter wax moon, and suddenly said to Li Qingchou: "Use a gun tomorrow." ”

Li Qingchou was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Why? My swordsmanship is superior to marksmanship. ”

Xue Yuxiao thought of the description in the original book, the generals under the command of the Three Princesses Tuoba Ying are all known for their bravery, and they are not good at using shields, as long as they don't use shields, they can restrain short soldiers with spears immediately. She didn't say much, but said: "One inch long and one inch strong, this blade can have the upper hand...... Besides, I brought a gun for you. ”

Li Qingchou went with her, and saw Xue Yuxiao take out a silver spear in the camp tent, the gun was decorated with red tassels, and the silver light was shining and extremely sharp. Xue Yuxiao threw a spear and threw the weapon to her.

Li Qingchou raised his hand to catch it, and the red tassels on the gun moved with the wind.

Xue Yuxiao looked at her and thought with a smile, this is the posture of Zhao Yun in the reincarnation.

Huan Chengfeng had already issued a letter of war to Tuoba Ying in the name of the coach, ordering her to retreat quickly and return to Xuzhou, but Tuoba Ying did not respond for many days. The next day, the sergeant finished his morning cooking and came on the march, and pressed directly under the city gate.

The plaque of the city gate of Xuzhou City has been sharpened by the wind and frost more and more deeply, and the head of the official guarding the city hangs on it, because it has been a long time, it has rotted so that only the skull remains, and it is impossible to identify.

Although the city gate was closed, there were several people standing above the tower, and in the center was a young bearded girl, wearing light armor and a bearded battle robe, she was about twenty years old, her hair was braided into several whips and combed back, tied with red ropes, she did not wear a helmet, but wore a metal iron mask like a wolf, and only exhaled hot white mist from the thin silver wire mesh on the mask.

Even after studying Dongqi for many years, Xianbei's wildness is still outstanding. Hu Nu wears a golden seal around her waist, and there are totem tattoos on her arms and the back of her hands, and the totems have the sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers and beasts. She raised one leg and stepped on the stone bricks of the city wall, looked forward at the army under the city, and asked in Xianbei language: "Military advisor, what you said is true, if this group of people is captured and imprisoned, the court and nobles of the Qi Dynasty will pay a large ransom to honor me?" ”

There is indeed no shortage of noble juniors in the sixteen guards.

The military advisor she asked was actually a Han man, wearing a beard and a thick hat, speaking with a little accent, and a hoarse voice: "It will definitely be." Your Highness, have you seen the white-robed general? ”

Tuoba followed her finger and saw a bright red banner at the back of the array, on which was written a Chinese character that she could not read. Underneath the banner, a young general in white robe and silver armor rode on top of a black divine steed, his hand pressed on his sword. Because it's too far away, I can't see my face clearly.

"She is the concubine of the Jingzhao Xue clan and the young master of the Xue clan." The military advisor said, "Her mother is one of the three divisions of the Qi Dynasty, the great Sikong Xue Zeshu. The protégés of the Xue family are all over the government and the opposition, and the great Sikong builds palaces, builds bridges and civil engineering, is in charge of the mountains and seas, and earns countless amounts of money and food, if he can capture her daughter alive......"

Tuoba Ying stared at Xue Yuxiao a few times and said, "If she fights......"

Before the words fell, there was already the sound of drums below. Tuoba Ying ordered everyone to close the city gates, and only 2,000 Tiefu Tu were in formation, ready to rush out and press into the enemy formation. She smiled down from the castle tower and said a few words.

The military advisor on one side translated, and someone relayed loudly: "Huan Chengfeng! You've lost to my mother, you've lost to my sister, and now it's my turn! When I saw the Great Xia flag, I didn't say that I ran away with my tail between my legs, but sent it to the door! ”

Huan Chengfeng was not angry, but said: "Hu thief who doesn't know the number of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, surrender immediately, or spare your life." ”

Tuoba Ying laughed when he heard this, and many of the staff members around him also laughed. She waved her hand and pointed at someone casually, and said with a smile: "You go." Qi Jun is all incompetent, a group of sick and weak girls who can only talk, this opportunity is handed over to you, don't let it go! ”

The pointed generals are not afraid at all, according to the experience of the two sides, the Qi Dynasty, which has prevailed in Qing talks and subdued and dispersed, has been vulnerable for decades, and this is a good time to make contributions. The general took the order and went out, armed with a heavy single sword, and mounted his horse and came out of the city.

She was wearing a beard and armor, wearing an iron shackle, riding on a horse, and behind her was two thousand heavy cavalry, and she provoked in unfamiliar Chinese before the formation: "Aunt and grandmother Lan Yanluo, hundreds of killers, thousands of defeaters!" Who's going to bestow the head—"

She heard what the military advisor said in the city, and her eyes were fixed on the white-robed and silver-armored general. However, Xue Yuxiao really had no intention of fighting, he just lowered his head and pressed his sword, his face expressionless.

Before Li Qing wanted to ask the coach for battle, Li Furong, the right vanguard, was even exempted from the invitation and drove out without a trace of hesitation. Without even saying a word, she stepped forward with her sword, and the horse's hooves rushed in front of her, colliding with the heavy single sword of Servan Yanluo.

With a pop, sparks erupted from the blades of the two.

Fulan Yanluo didn't expect her to be so silent and swift, she actually dared to bully her immediately, pulled the reins for a while and took two steps back, her mouth was numb, she paused, and laughed again: "Good lady! I got it! ”

After saying that, the two rushed like sharp blades, and they went back and forth for dozens of rounds without winning or losing. Fulan Yanluo became more and more courageous the more she fought, and her whole body was steaming hot, and although Li Furong didn't say a word, she was also murderous, and she didn't seem to feel pain for the injuries on her body.

Fulan Yanluo was proud, and when he was about to take it in one fell swoop, Li Furong suddenly pulled out another sword from behind him, and slashed through the opponent's armor with his left sword, only an inch away from embedding it in the helmet, cutting off one of Fulan Yanluo's braids and injuring his right ear.

Hu Nu shouted, rushed into the crown in anger, and stabbed forward with a heavy knife. Li Furong blocked it with a curly bladed sword, and the blade was shattered, and she received a blow to the chest, but then she turned her wrist with lightning speed, and stabbed the back of the neck of the horse in front of her with her left hand.

The horse neighed in pain, burst out with a trail of blood, and fell suddenly. Li Furong licked off the blood from the corners of her lips, bent down from her horse and grabbed the tassel on the helmet of Fulan Yanluo, threw her back into her own formation, and said indifferently: "Kill a hundred and lose a thousand, but Er'er." ”

As soon as these words fell, the drums around him were beating rapidly, and the Qi army erupted into a roar of consternation and vibration.

"Li Xianxianguan!"

Huan Chengfeng didn't expect her to win, and immediately smiled, and when she wanted Li Furong to fight again, Xue Yuxiao suddenly stepped forward and said, "Change." ”
