"I know!"

She gritted her teeth and said again, "I know!! ”

"Great Khan!"

Everyone took off their clothes and knelt.

"Only by avoiding war can we preserve our strength. With the current situation, there are still changes in the north, and this Shuozhou is really undefendable! ”

Tuoba Ying raised her head and took a breath of the cold air after the winter night, her lungs were full of coolness, and after a long time, she said slowly: "I don't like the poem "Yuefu" of the Central Plains. There is only one song, which can still be played. ”

She stepped out, held down the mandarin duck Yue, and crossed the ministers: "The lord did not cross the river, but the lord crossed the river......"

"Crossing the river and dying, be the master!"

After that, she walked out of Fengbei Palace, led the army of Shuozhou, and met the enemy under the city.

Everyone was stunned on the spot, and some generals were puzzled, and turned their heads to ask the scribe, "What is "Yuefu"?" "How is this poetry? After a long time, one of them replied: "This is about a white-headed madwoman crossing the river, knowing that she could not cross the river and insisted on crossing the river, and finally fell into the river and died." Her husband couldn't stop screaming, but he couldn't persuade him, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. ”

Since ancient times, those who have been called masters are either wives or emperors. Tuoba Ying used this poem as a metaphor for himself, I am afraid that even if he is doomed, he will have to defend Shuozhou.

"Sad Great Xia," Qi Yunfeng whispered, "We can only obey each other, and we can't care about the amount of loss, and the odds of victory are life and death." Although the Great Khan is the lord of the country, he is also a general after all, he is defeated, but he has lost his army, if he does not have the backbone of the general, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break the demon barrier in his heart, and he will not dare to face Xue Yuxiao. ”

With the words of Qi Yunfeng, everyone had to sweep away the heart of retreat and accompany them to face the battle.

The wind was cold.

Under Shuozhou City, Xue Yuxiao was not at the forefront. She just stood behind with the phoenix, wearing a cloak with a golden pattern on her body, watching the generals beat the drums and fight.

Just one Li Furong has already lost two generals in a row. Youqing was in control of the military horses in front, she was actually not worried, while observing the situation, she opened the documents from the court and watched, and said to the civil officials on the side: "Why is your face so ugly, smile." ”

The civil official who came in a hurry from Jingzhao and the clerk bowed his head and said: "Please Your Majesty must put yourself first, a few elders of the Feng Pavilion said, if there is another banquet and assassination, you must stop Your Majesty left and right, and you can't try the Heavenly Maiden Holy Body in danger." ”

Xue Yuxiao sighed and said, "They know too quickly." ”

The civil official said: "This matter is widely spread all over the world, not to mention that the military report is urgent for 800 miles, and it is sent once a day." Your Majesty has a recital, please allow your Majesty. ”

Although he was about to fight, Xue Yuxiao's face was unchanged, and he calmly took it and opened it to continue to look, and saw that it was written, "The left and right generals failed to stop it, it was because of disloyalty, please behead it Your Majesty!" The corners of her mouth twitched, and she propped her forehead and said, "Don't joke with me." ”

As he spoke, he threw the fold back.

The civil official was expressionless, and replied like a stream: "It is the fault of the left and right generals who can't stop Your Majesty." The adults of the Feng Pavilion said that His Majesty must not allow this twist and turn when he sees this, and he will be exempted from the crime of ignoring His Majesty's safety if he works hard and has made great achievements, but he will never be able to do any more dangerous acts, please make a promise to agree, otherwise the ministers will not serve well, and they will be very ashamed, and they will die when they hit the pillar, so as to complete the minister's festival. ”

The left and right generals here refer to Li Qingchou and Li Furong.

Xue Yuxiao realized that they were in a hurry, coughed lightly, and said, "Well, I understand." ”

The civil servant did not answer, but handed over another letter.

Xue Yuxiao took it, and when she saw that it was the Xue family seal, she removed the red seal and saw that it was her mother's handwriting. Xue Sikong has always loved her, and when he heard about this, he was naturally distressed, and his words were extremely concerned.

Xue Yuxiao's face changed slightly, folded the letter and touched it, and finally said solemnly: "Reply to my mother on my behalf, and just say, my daughter knows." ”

The civil official bowed his head and handed over another letter.

Xue Yuxiao was stunned for a moment, muttering in his heart that this could not be a ...... A very bad feeling suddenly appeared in her mind, and she took it to open the letter, and sure enough, she saw a familiar handwriting - it was written by Pei Yuxue.

I didn't write it too long, I just said, everything is fine, don't read it. In just one page, Xue Yuxiao's eyelids were beating wildly, and his heart was full of turmoil. She thought that Pei Lang was still pregnant, waiting in the accompanying capital, and was silent for a long time in front of the letter.

The civil official said: "The elders ask Your Majesty to cherish the Holy Body again and again, and go to the Jiaofang Hall to ask for the ink treasure of Fengjun." ”

Since she set out on the expedition, in order not to let Xue Yuxiao worry, Pei Yuxue has not actually written much to her. At most, it was just to tell her that everything was fine between the war reports and documents, and she was afraid that if she said too much, she would lose, revealing her lovesickness and unbearable feelings.

Xue Yuxiao also restrained himself from thinking too much and focused on attacking.

Just a short piece of paper, she flipped through it and looked at it for a long time, and finally folded it and stored it closely. Xue Yuxiao pinched his eyebrows, and replied with a sigh: "The boss is facing off, it seems that it really scares them, and I invited Feng Jun to persuade me, with good intentions." Feng Jun...... Is it really stable and normal? ”

After she asked this sentence, the other party thought for a moment and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Fengjun Chitose has the ability to observe politics and understand people, although he is in the court, his knowledge and strategy are no less than that of a woman, and he has to inherit His Majesty's holy decree before leaving. ”

Xue Yuxiao nodded, and then said, "Okay, draft a document for me to reply to the Fengge Zhongqing, don't worry, I know their hard work." ”

"Yes."

Then the scribe withdrew.

She read three letters in a row from the cold wind, and the good news ahead was frequent, and many Hu generals were picked off their horses and fled in a hurry. Just as Xue Yuxiao was waiting for them to abandon the city and leave, suddenly a subordinate would be beheaded by a Xianbei general who rushed out on a fast horse.

There was a commotion ahead, and the drumming became more and more intense.

Xue Yuxiao raised his eyes and saw a pair of cold mandarin ducks. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, then smiled softly and muttered, "If you don't leave now, when will you stay?" But that's a bad temper for me. ”

"Master." Wei Qingyan said, "That person seems to be ......"

"It's Tuoba Baby." Xue Yuxiao said, "The strategists in the city can't stop her, it seems that I really her off, if it weren't for the defeat in Xuzhou, she should still be the invincible and heroic general at this moment......"

Tuoba Ying relied on the courage of blood and energy, and with a mouthful of anger that could not be dispersed, he fought back several people one after another, and even Li Furong was almost injured and was forced to retreat by her.

Li Furong retreated into the formation, raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her lips, and said: "Immediately send orders to all departments, I am afraid that only Li Qingchou can be the enemy before the battle." Please don't have to try the other generals—"

Before the words were finished, a few Feng generals who were eager to make meritorious contributions rushed forward, but within ten moves, they were all forced to retreat by Tuoba Ying's stabbing wounds. Although she was sick, she was a hundred times more energetic than usual, wearing a mask made of iron wire, and a cold white mist overflowed from her mouth, exuding a gloomy meaning.

Behind Tuoba Baby, the generals and strategists rushed out to support. The heavy cavalry was arrayed, and the light cavalry was assisted from both wings, and the armor was elite. She raised her head to look at the phoenix banner, her gaze wandered between the crowd for a moment, and she shouted hoarsely, "Xue Yuxiao——! ”

"Fight me!"

The sound shook all over the wilderness, and the mighty overturned.

The smile on Xue Yuxiao's lips converged, and she looked at the other party's figure quietly, she lowered her hand and clenched the reins, and the civil official next to her immediately said, "Your Majesty!" ”

She took a breath, closed her eyes to ease her fighting spirit, and said, "It's my fault that I can't let her have fun." I have known His Royal Highness so far, and today I have only seen the daughter of a fierce tiger. ”

With that, she took a few steps forward from behind, exposing herself to Tuoba Baby. The two were still far apart, and Xue Yuxiao had no intention of fighting, but ordered someone to reply to her: "Your Highness is worried, the old love on the battlefield, let's talk about it at another date." ”

The herald was ordered to leave, shouting this sentence in front of the battle. Tuoba Ying heard the green tendons on the back of his hand, and roared: "Who has any old friendship with her!" I'm going to kill her, I'm going to kill her!! ”

As the voice echoed, a man suddenly appeared in front of him on horseback. Li Qingchou held the gun in one hand, smiled, and was only a few dozen steps away from her, and said, "Coincidentally, I will kill you too." It is better for the Khan to give me this head, so as to live up to His Majesty's true affection for you. ”

"She Xue Yuxiao is cunning and cunning, full of poisonous schemes, what kind of friendship! It's just to deceive the ears of the world. Tuoba Ying stared at her and said, "I'll kill you today to see if she will be in pain if she loses this good general!" ”

Guan Shan's dream is long

Chapter 101

Drums rumble.

The winter cold wind was cold, and the two faced each other in front of the battle, and fought again, striking each other, and their voices were endless.

Tuoba Ying was full of anger and blood, facing the enemy head-on, and was not timid because of Li Qingchou's past achievements, the two fought for hundreds of rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, the other generals of the two sides could not sweep the formation, as long as they stepped forward, they were forced to retreat by the fierce and strange moves of the two, and they could only give up a large open space.

The drum beat three ways, and the sound of the trumpet escaped into the hosts. Li Qingchou also killed a little fiercely, and when he saw Tuoba Ying turn around and retreat, he tightened the reins and subconsciously wanted to chase after him.

Just as she was almost lured into the enemy line, the drumming in the rear stopped, and the herald rushed from the rear in a loud voice, shouting: "General Li! Your Majesty's will, please General Li do not chase! ”

"Please General Li don't chase!"

"General Li, don't chase!!"

The sound shook in the wild.

Li Qingchou held the reins on the back of her hand to highlight a piece of green tendons, she took a long breath, turned around and looked at Xue Yuxiao in a dark cloak, and her head was awe-inspiring, and she was awake in an instant, so she immediately stopped chasing - only then did she suddenly find the trace of the archers hidden on the city wall, no matter how close the distance was, it must be ten thousand arrows at once.

Li Qingchou turned the reins, immediately took a few steps back, and said coldly: "Although she is the daughter of a tiger and wolf, she is a poisonous tiger and a hungry wolf. I thought you were really angry and dazed, it turned out that you were trying to lure the enemy deeper and deliberately show your flaws. ”

Tuoba Ying saw that the design could not be achieved, and she did not hide it, her eyes passed through Li Qingchou, looked into the military array in the distance behind her, stared at the phoenix, and said: "General Li, it is not you who I want to fight with my life, it is her, it is her!" There will be a battle between us, and she doesn't show up today, so whether it's in Yanjing or Youzhou, I must fight her to the death, otherwise what's the point of the rest of my life! ”

Li Qing said sorrowfully: "You-"

Before the words fell, a salvo from above had already arrived. happened to shoot in front of Li Qingchou, she was immediately forced to retreat, brandished a spear to block some of the stray arrows, and ran back, so that she did not fall into the rain of arrows.

She narrowly retreated, which also caused Xia Guo to disturb and interfere with the rules of the confrontation between military generals. For a while, the drums changed again, the sergeants were excited, and tens of thousands of troops stepped forward to attack the city.

Fire Battalion, Bow Horse Battalion, Elite Infantry, Cavalry Battalion...... Through the precise arrangement of troops and formations, the momentum is huge and the efficiency is extremely high, rushing forward like a wave, surging wildly.

Among the countless torrent formations, only a golden phoenix hovered above the battlefield. Under its banner, the black horse is white, the battle robe is sassy, and it is like a pillar of the sea, which makes the army feel glorious and unwilling to take half a step back.

Xue Yuxiao glanced at the battle situation, and while estimating the losses and troops in his heart, he stretched out his hand to Wei Qingyan and said, "I'm sleepy, refresh the pot of wine." ”

Wei Qingyan was originally boiling with fighting spirit, and she wanted to step forward to fight for merit, but she was concerned about her master and didn't dare to leave, and when she heard her say such things, she choked up and said, "Your Majesty...... Sleepy? ”

Can you still be sleepy in this kind of scene?

Xue Yuxiao shook his fingers.

Wei Qingyan took off the wine bag she was carrying and handed it to her, and said honestly: "I only carry this kind of turbid wine on my body. Sour Bitter Drink. ”

Xue Yuxiao said casually: "It's good, so that the wine in the palace won't make me more and more sleepy the more I drink." You also know that I have always not slept enough, and last night I let everyone sing the poem "Yuefu" outside the city all night, and the Han people in the city are homesick, and I haven't been able to sleep well. ”

"Yuefu" is a collection of folk styles from all over the country, Shuozhou used to be a strong man, and naturally there are local songs that can be sung.

Wei Qingyan said: "There are Han people who surrendered in the Shuozhou border defense, and they actually don't want to fight with Your Majesty, and the morale is so different, I don't know why Tuoba Ying came out to defend the city...... This will only increase the loss in vain, and there will be no chance of winning. ”

Xue Yuxiao poured a sip of sour bad wine, raised his head and swallowed it, raised his eyes again, and said, "You said this kind of thing, in fact, it is the reason why I want to personally supervise the battle." Although Daqi can win, the sergeant is too arrogant. In order not to suffer a crushing defeat from carelessness, I must be sober, and completely and without slackening. ”

"Your Majesty......" Wei Qingyan was like a slap in the face, and suddenly felt guilty for the idea that she wanted to compete for military merit.

The results were not expected.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the second year of Taishi, the emperor broke Hulu, took back Shuozhou, and approached Yanjing. And in Yandu, Han folk songs were also sung again, and people's hearts were shaken, and there were many people who prayed to the moon and shed tears.

On the night of entering Shuozhou, everyone counted the casualties, sorted out the seizures, pacified the people, and treated the Hu people left in the city kindly. In the midst of her busyness, Xue Yuxiao sent someone to warm a pot of green ant wine to simmer on the stove, and she sat on the railing in the attic of Fengbei Palace, with the Holy Phoenix Sword on the side of the seat.

The generals put down the trivial matters of entering the city, beamed with joy, and came in response to the order, Duan Yan first saw her sitting on a high place, and the guardrail of the Fengbei Palace was in disrepair, and there was a state of rotten wood, her face changed rapidly, and she hurriedly said: "My Majesty, be careful!" Take care of the Eucharist. ”

She said so, and others scrambled to come forward to care. Xue Yuxiao was tired of hearing this, raised his hand to stop, and said, "Sit." ”

The railings were dusty and there were no extra seats. All the generals who had made meritorious contributions looked at each other, and they all had a little bit of the pride of the armor on their bodies, and they hesitated for a moment before slowly sitting down.

Guan Haichao sat up quickly, leaned over to Xue Yuxiao's side, and went to the nearest place: "It's really boring that the master doesn't celebrate with the ministers!" ”

Xue Yuxiao looked at the moonlight and said lightly: "Kyushu is not the same, what is the merit to celebrate?" ”

Guan Haichao was stunned, looked back at everyone, and saw that everyone was overjoyed, slowly settled down, and also learned to pinch his thighs, pretending to be calm: "The sage said yes." The Great Celestial Maiden said yes! ”

Xue Yuxiao looked at her and smiled, sighed in a low voice, and said: "The great cause of returning to the old capital is in front of you, you should also be diligent, guard against arrogance and rashness, and complete this work, and you must not lose your sense of proportion because of a momentary success." I don't celebrate with the generals, not because I turn a blind eye to the battle, but because my spirit has reached the limit, and I can only meditate in a quiet place, and the noise and excitement will make me relax and forget the warning to myself. ”

"Your Majesty......" Xiao Pingyu stepped forward and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has not rested for many days, if such a thing is known to the elders of the Feng Pavilion, wouldn't they be worried again." ”

Xue Yuxiao stared at the dense foam on the green ant wine, lowered his eyes, and said, "I can't sleep all night for the war, but also for ...... In order to. ”

She stopped softly.

Without saying a word, she finished sharing a furnace of wine with the generals, and told everyone to be cautious and not to be impatient. With His Majesty's earnest supervision and trust, everyone's desire to fight for merit was diluted a lot, obviously just drank a glass of wine, but it seemed to sink into the stomach, no matter how many celebration banquets in the city were difficult to eat, it was not as good as His Majesty's personal gift.
