37 Chapter 37
When Xie Ci learned that the commander of the Northern Army was the protector of Andong Dadu and the envoy of Fanyang Lu Chuanjiedu, the transfer envoy and the Fangzhou assassin Lu Xinyi, it was the Yunzhou army that was promoted
The next day.
The commander of the Northern Xinjiang War was not decided for a long time, and it was not received until the third day of the arrival of the transfer order, the second day of the departure of the Yunzhou Army
The second edict of Pegasus.
After receiving the holy decree, Chen Yan personally drove his horse to send out the eunuch for a while, and after returning, he told Xie Ci: "It was recommended by Uncle Lin Guo." "
Uncle Lin Guo, a suspect who left a strong mark in the Lingzhou case, raised his eyelids in thanks.
There are also Gu Guan, Qin Ying, Zhang Qing, Zheng Ying, Chen Luo and others, everyone raised their eyes and couldn't help but look at each other.
Chen Yan exhaled, carefully rolled up the holy decree, presented his hands to an open Nanmu long box, the guards closed it carefully, respectfully stepped back and put it away, Chen Yan said: "Don't think too much, let's go to Lu'an first to assemble with the army." ”
At the moment, everything is premature.
Assemble first and then talk about the rest.
Chen Yan left 10,000 defenders in Yunzhou, ordered the rest of the 32,000 cavalry elite soldiers, and rushed to Lu'an on February 21 to complete the assembly of the northern army.
There was not much rain this spring, and only a few light rains fell after the snow melted, and the ground quickly dried out as soon as the sun came out.
Flags are unfurled, and horses' hooves roll up dust. The thank-you speech is here, officially starting his military career.
War horses were armored, heavy bright light heavy armor hung on their bodies, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves and the sound of military boots landing made the entire ground tremble.
The first battle of his life came even earlier than he expected. When passing through the southern boundary of Shuozhou, they joined up with Qin Xianling's army, which deliberately slowed down slightly.
Everyone was happy.
Chen Yan lowered his head a little embarrassed, but his emotions quickly disappeared in Qin Xian's hug and patting on the back and laughter, and Chen Yan also hugged back vigorously, revealing an excited smile.
After that, we went straight to the east.
They were already very close to Luan, probably just over a hundred miles away, and they would be there in two days.
However, in the afternoon of the same day, in the billowing smoke and dust of the army's march, the sentry horse in front suddenly blew a sharp whistle, followed by the horn of the bull and the trombone whined, and rushed over in front of a bloody fast horse, and the immediately armored soldier was wearing the military uniform of the Great Wei Qizhou.
Qizhou Pass was suddenly attacked by the Beirong cavalry, and the defenders of Qizhou fought bloodily, which was to urgently ask for help.
Qin Xian's eyebrows furrowed, and he drooped
The horse marched to the front of the army. He stood still and looked into the distance for a long time, sniffed the faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the wind, thanked Gu Wan and said a few words, Gu Wan hurriedly came up, "Ah Ci said, there is a smell of gunsmoke and blood, very strong." ”
Qin Xian and Chen Yan glanced at each other, the two of them just weighed for a moment, and immediately ordered that the left army should become the front army, and march to the aid of Qizhou! Throwing away all the baggage, the march became faster at once.
Then, over the next two days, they sent three urgent military orders to Luan. The 400,000 iron cavalry of Beirong did not have any warning, and suddenly increased their speed, and the eighteen cavalry of Beirong, which seemed to be a little three, three, two, and two, suddenly converged into three strands, and before the assembly of the Northern Army of Great Wei was completed, they marched rapidly for 300 miles in one day, and re-attacked the two points of Qizhou and Yehuling on the northern border of Great Wei.
When Qin Xian and Chen Yan led the army to Qizhou, the battle was raging, with billowing gunpowder smoke and scarlet everywhere, and the two of them didn't care about talking nonsense, so they immediately led the army to rush up.
The horse's hooves slammed, and the long-handled Zhanjin broadsword in Xie Ci's hand swept away, and several Beirong cavalry immediately flew up, and blood sprayed all over his head and face.
The blood in the vasculature seemed to boil as if it were boiling with hot sweat on the back of the spine. Xie Ci paused for only a moment, and immediately led the battalion soldiers of his headquarters to rush forward.
The first battle of the year of Gui Mao was white-hot at the beginning, and it lasted for half a month, and finally the Beirong king Huyande, who failed to succeed in a roundabout attack, ordered a slow retreat because of the weather.
The northern border of the Great Wei Dynasty has temporarily returned to calm.
It was expected that the army would assemble and swear to the army, and after a big battle had already been fought, it was finally long overdue.
Qin Xian, Chen Yan, Su Zhen, Kou Wenshao, and the generals under their command quickly entered the camp of Qizhou, and because of the war, Qizhou was temporarily changed to the general headquarters of the war.
The current commander Xingyuan, the prince's line, the overseer, the commander of the grain and grass general reserve, etc., are all in Qizhou City.
When Qin Xian and Chen Yan arrived, everyone had already worked together, so they were sent away.
When they also stood still, the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time unfolded the edict of Huang Feilong: "The edict of the emperor of Fengtian said: I have inherited the ancestral family for forty-two years, recuperating from the common people, benefiting from the four seas, and serving the heart of the world as the heart, protecting the country from danger, and ruling from chaos." "
In the silent Dajiaochang, only the sound of the wind and the high-pitched voice of the eunuch were heard, "...... Now the foreign captives covet me. The dynasty has been looking at the tiger for a long time, and wants to invade the territory of our north, and now appoint the protector of Andong and the envoy of Fanyang Luchuan Jiedu, the transfer envoy and the Fangzhou assassin Shi Lu Xinyi as the commander of the three armies. Chin this—"
>
The tiger talisman is two tiger-shaped cast iron, one is cut into two, on weekdays, the left half is held by the commander of the northern army, and the other half is owned by the imperial court, and only when the army assembles and goes out to fight will the two be combined into one.
Lu Xinyi took the two black and shiny tiger talismans, the eunuch stepped back, he stood up, Lu Xinyi was dressed in black chain chain heavy armor, wearing bright red handsome, holding the tiger talisman, and turned around.
On and off the stage, except for the two nominal deputy marshals and the prince who oversaw the army, the generals immediately knelt down and bowed their heads and saw the commander.
didn't say thank you, even Qin Xian was extremely uncomfortable.
This left half of the tiger talisman has always been in the hands of Xie Xinxin in the past, and after his death, it was returned to the imperial court, and until now, it is in the hands of Lu Xinyi.
He fell to his knees through gritted teeth.
Familiar and unfamiliar, unfamiliar. Lu Xinyi immediately raised his hand: "The ministers will please rise." ”
He said with a pleasant face: "Today, by the will of His Majesty, I will bear the heavy responsibility, and I dare not have half a vain word, but I hope that I will work together to defeat the attacking enemy!" Ladies and gentlemen, hold this tiger talisman righteously, reward and punish the order, if there is any disobedience to the military regulations and the commander's order, all will be punished!!"
Immediate response underneath.
"Unite as one, and do your best to defeat the invading enemy!" If anyone disobeys military orders and regulations, he should be punished!"
It is all clichés, scenes of encouragement to the army, there are many people present whose strength is not inferior to Lu Xinyi, Qin Xian, Chen Yan, Su Zhen, Kou Wenshao, the old forces of the Xie family who have been re-twisted into a share, Zheng Shoufang is also counted as one, and there are also He Xin, the Duke of the Kingdom, Cheng Lizhang and others.
I don't know what everyone thinks in their hearts, but all in all, Lu Xinyi took the position of handsome with confidence, and everyone looked at Qin Xian's side quietly, as well as the generals and captains behind them.
- Xie Ci is Xie Xinxin's fourth son, he hasn't entered the army in the old year, and he hasn't seen many people, but even if he is not well-informed, he knows that Xie Jiajun has re-screwed a share.
They had a guess in their hearts, and they were looking for excuses. Lu Xinyi is also looking for a thank you.
The resignation must be among this group of generals and captains, large and small, but at this moment, Lu Xinyi must not do anything to order people to wipe his face.
Lu Xinyi's gaze fixed on Chen Lang's face, and several eyes fixed on Chen Lang's face, Zheng Shoufang snorted: "You are Chen Jiulang?"
Chen Lang immediately jumped out: "Yes, the master is, is there something wrong?"
>
Chen Lang was captured by his father and continued to serve in the army.
Chen Yan immediately snorted: "Shut up, is there a place for you to talk?"
Chen Lang also wanted to say, didn't he ask me? was glared at by Chen Yan, so he had to roll his eyes and shut up.
His face pearls are not so real, you see.
Chen Yan arched his hand: "Please forgive the boss, please forgive the two highnesses!"
Lu Xinyi smiled quietly: "It's okay, okay, let's ask the two highnesses to speak." "
So, the three and four princes who had been sitting on the Taishi's chair and the two deputy marshals and overseers, the third prince stood up first: "Everyone, now the ambition of the Beirong wolf is ,......."
Sprinkled, full of confidence.
Gu Wan rolled his eyes, and his gaze fell on him, this fair-skinned young man in bright silver armor and a bright yellow cloak was the third prince, the stupid new emperor who would be going to conquer in the future.
As for the fourth prince, he was only fifteen years old, and his face was much more tender.
In the rear, there are several familiar faces, one of which is Li Yi, who was appointed as one of the grain and grass supervisors of logistics after he stepped down from his post as the preparation overseer
It is also on the oath of the Northern Army.
Xie Ci stood in the middle and rear, and someone swept over him, but he moved away with a sweep, Gu Wan deepened his two cheekbones and eye sockets, put on a helmet, and suddenly disappeared from everyone.
Gu Wan Qin Ying's position has to continue backwards, in the position of the generals' guards, but she has good eyesight, and she can barely see it.
A few eyes kept staring at the stage, from Lu Xinyi to Zheng Shoufang. This Zheng Shoufang was uncomfortable when he saw this person's face. After he was refuted by Chen Lang, he snorted coldly and glanced at Chen Lang gloomily.
There is no moon on the lone star tonight.
A sudden sandstorm quickly separated the two armies, and a day later there was a faint yellow dust in the sky.
But standing on the top of the city, you can already see the endless Beirong camp on the vast grassland, at the end of the line of sight, the black pressure is a large area, and the vigorous and vigorous dormant momentum is thrilling.
"Beijon is much stronger than it was seven years ago." Qin Xian couldn't help frowning, a little worried.
Regardless of the grant
Before the oath, or after the oath was granted, Qizhou has been waiting for a heavy garrison. Qin Xian and Chen Yan were the first to lead the army to come to the aid and were stationed in an important position on the north city wall. On the night after the complex forces of all parties were entangled together and faced Lu Xinyi and Zheng Shoufang at close range,
Qin Xian thanked him
and brought it to the head of the city.
After looking down at the endless Beirong camp that was dormant like a heavy tiger and wolf in the night, after a long time, Qin Xian turned around and said to him:
"When I first went to war in the past, I was sixteen years old, and the general once said something to me, and I will relay it to you today."
He solemnly conveyed Xie Xinxin's words of remonstrance in the future.
"Behind us is the place where 35 million families of the Great Wei people depend, our home country. As a general, I put on a suit of armor, and when I am a horizontal sword, I will do my best to protect the peace of my family and country!
Qin Xian looked outside the city and said slowly: "I know you want revenge and justice, I want to do it too!" But no matter what, we can't afford to lose the war.
All of all, when on top of this. He turned around and looked at the thanks: "Fourth son, do you know?"
Heavy dozens of pounds of heavy armor draped on the body, this is a weight that has never been felt before, the heavy gold knife in his hand, not a silver spear for the time being, but the cold and summer have been practicing hard for more than ten years, but now it is finally made on the horse.
It is difficult to describe what Xie Ci felt at this moment, he overlooked the vast grassland and the Beirong camp where tigers and wolves were entrenched, his father and brother used to wear such a heavy armor, overlooking here, fighting the enemy here.
Xie Ci took a deep breath, and he was dumbfounded: "I know." "For more than ten years, my father and brother have never dared to forget for a moment.
He is a thank you and a son of the Xie family.
He should have something else besides hatred.
Qin Xian smiled, this general, who was over forty years old, showed a trace of crow's feet, and he patted the shoulder of thanks: "Okay, go back, Guan Niang is probably waiting for you."
Xie Ci turned around and left, his mood fluctuated, he walked faster and faster, he suddenly wanted to see Gu Wan soon.
As for Gu Wan, he was lying on the roof at the moment.
With his hands behind his head, he looked up at the yellowed boundless sky, and a few stars, a little gloomy, were flickering slightly.
This is the first time she has seen the ancient cold weapon warfare.
She had seen the fierce Beirong cavalry, and she had also seen the Beirong camp hovering like a tiger and snake outside the city.
Today, in addition to the unpleasant oath-granting master, Qin Xian, Su Zhen, Chen Yan, and Kou Wenshao, the four most important generals of the old Xie family's army, have finally reunited.
It's exciting, it's exciting. Just like the battle under the city that forced Beirong to retreat a few days ago.
It's just a pity
Yes, Gu Wan knew that victory and peace were only temporary.
There are some things that Gu Wan has always hidden in his heart and has never dared to tell others, and it is not appropriate to tell others. This war was ultimately a fiasco.
To what extent did it fail?
directly the old emperor to death.
Almost all these generals in Northern Xinjiang have been defeated.
Hu Yande led the iron cavalry to cross the Yin Mountain, cross the Qing Valley, cross the Yellow River, and once approached the central capital, if it were not for the interruption of the war by the plague in the royal court, it is unknown whether he could breathe a sigh of relief and support it for two more years.
Anyway, the already precarious prosperity of the Great Wei Dynasty was interrupted, and then the new emperor personally conquered, and then the country was broken, and it was completely finished.
Gu Wan knew, Chen Yan, Su Zhen, and Kou Wenshao all died in this battle, but Qin Xian didn't know if it was folded in the Lingzhou case, or here?
Anyway, none of these people around Gu Wan are in the original trajectory, and they are all folded in these short "Defeats in the Year of the Lunar New Year".
Huang Chen was slight, the starlight flickered, Gu Wan heard the sound of tiles stepping, she turned around, it was Qin Ying, Qin Ying easily flipped onto the roof, and Qin Wenxuan, who was a little shy.
What are you doing here? What do you think?
Qin Ying jumped a few times and sat side by side beside Gu Wan.
Qin Wenxuan was a little careful about her feet, and also walked over, the girl from the gate, to strengthen her body, she has also learned some, but not much.
During this time, Qin Wenxuan worked very hard, and Gu Wan saw that this girl, who was actually a little quiet, was a little worried about disturbing them, Sister Gu.
Gu Wan couldn't help but smile: Sit down, what's embarrassing. Qin Wenxuan sat on the side of the two of them with her knees crossed.
The evening breeze had the smell of dust, and the starlight was not so bright, Gu Wan and Qin Ying sat side by side, she thought for a while, and asked Qin Ying: "Sister Ying, if something happens, if you know in advance that it is a defeat, then what are you going to do?"
Qin Ying was surprised: Is there such a good thing? Doesn't that know in advance why you lost? Just save effort and turn defeat into victory! Gu Wan laughed: That's right, that's right!
She clapped her hands, that's right, the second sister-in-law really has an appetite for her, exactly like she thinks! She is not afraid of defeat or something, and thinks that this time she must not be defeated in the end! If she had followed the original trajectory, she would be plowing the fields in Tieling now.
The wind blew the clouds, the stars lit up, Gu Wan and Qin Ying glanced at each other, and both of them laughed.
Qin Ying hooked Gu Guan's shoulders and looked sideways
A girl with a face that her mother didn't recognize but a pair of shining eyes, she smiled slightly for a moment, and followed Gu Wan's example, lying back on her back, relaxing her hands and feet.
The three of them talked and laughed until they came in the yellow night.
After coming down from the city, Xie Ci rode his horse all the way, and when he returned to the camp headquarters, he walked in quickly.
A little far away, I heard Gu Wan's crisp voice.
He couldn't help but smile and quickened his pace.
It's just that before jumping onto the roof, the third girl found him first, Qin Ying looked at his eyes that implied a surge of emotion, couldn't help laughing, and raised her voice first: Xiaosi, you wait first, I have something to say to you.
Xie Ci was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly: Okay second sister-in-law.
It's all my own people here, it's cleaned up, and there is no need to be too scrupulous, Qin Ying looked back and smiled, said a word, jumped down, and walked side by side with Xie Ci, walking along the long corridor of the camp room.
Walking to the end of the loess road, standing under a big willow tree, the tender green thin bud paper was moving lightly in the wind, Qin Ying reached out and flicked the wicker, smiled and looked at the thank you for a moment, "Little Si, you like Yuan Niang, right?"
Xie Ci's face was hot, and after a while, he nodded. The second sister-in-law already knew, so there was no need to hide it.
When he nodded, his face was glowing with heat, and his beautiful eyes with roses seemed to be filled with spring water, full of pure affection and joy as if they were about to overflow.
Qin Ying smiled and leaned less, but she slowly smiled and said to Xie Ci seriously: "Then do you like her, or do you love her?"
Spring is like a willow, Xie Ci was stunned, and the joy and smile in his eyes condensed, but Qin Ying still said slowly: "I know that young people's emotions are always menacing and warm. It's just that it's not a love that you have to love.
But once some things are broken, they are like mirrors that can never be put back.
Qin Ying has always supported Xie Ci and likes Gu Guan, but she has not forgotten that she once promised Gu Guan that a year later, if she does not change her mind, Qin Ying will personally host and leave the book for her.
After getting along for this time, Qin Ying found that Gu Wan's mind had not changed.
It's not enough to just like it; If it's just like it, I want you to be cautious, Little Four.
Who didn't like a few people when they were young, their youth was full of affection, thinking that this was the whole world, Qin Ying even liked a play that sang very well when she was young, an arrogant noblewoman, and ransomed her body to sing for her alone.
finally met Xie Erlang, which is the real glance for ten thousand years.
> this kind of emotion, even Qin Ying had never thought of it before.
She never thought that she could love someone for a lifetime, she would rather be alone and the years flow, and she only wanted to be accompanied by his memories. Qin Ying is the second sister-in-law of Xie Ci and Gu Guan's sister Ying.
- She is really too good and too good, so Qin Ying doesn't want to disturb her just because of her teenage love.
Between Xie Ci and Gu Guan, and between the family, there is no going back to the past.
Although Qin Ying knew that between life and death tribulations like Xie Ci and Gu Guan, he should not be superficial. But Xie Ci didn't understand this, so she hoped that he would sort out his emotions before confessing or revealing his thoughts.
She's Ah Wan, not someone else, right?
Finally, Qin Ying softened her voice and said to him.
Give yourself a little time to think it through before telling her, okay?
Uncle Liu was stunned, and somehow, the high enthusiasm suddenly sank,...... Right. He wanted to speak just now, but his mouth opened a few times, and finally he couldn't speak.
He was like being suddenly thrown into the vast prairie, eager and dazed, would there be so many differences between liking and liking? Qin Ying felt Gu Wan's cherishment, but he found that he couldn't answer the second sister-in-law's question for a while. He wanted to refute, but when he thought of Gu Wan, he was suddenly scared and hurt the relationship between the two.
What's more, Xie Ci suddenly remembered something more important, and left the book. He promised Gu Guan that he would write a book for her a year later...... It's already February, and it's four months away.
Caught off guard, his heart fell to the ground.
The author has something to say:
Acknowledgment: I thank you second sister-in-law for reminding me of such an important thingQAQ Acknowledgment: Isn't it enough to be warm? Then how to chirp and whine
