Chapter 140: The journey is long
It was said that the messenger took the dove entrusted by Yuxi and ran all the way west.
Along the way, the messenger would stop at many stations and feed the pigeons carefully. So all the way down, this pigeon was well cared for.
So every time the repairs were completed, the messenger hurried to the direction of Huyan's army to the west, hoping to bring the news he carried with him to General Huyan as soon as possible.
At this time, Huyan Liexiong and Ruiqi were leading the army to the border city of the Western Regions, and there was no fighting along the way for the time being.
Huyan Liexiong's army marched slowly along the deserted wilderness.
They crossed many rivers and deserted beaches, and slept in the open on the way, starving. But the morale of the army has not diminished, and it is still full of passion.
For many years, the Central Plains has never seen any major battles, this time, the emperor personally ordered to call on Huyan father and son to lead troops to the Western Regions to calm the war, so as to command the world and show the emperor's grace and might.
Therefore, many soldiers want to take this opportunity to make great contributions, and when the battle is over, the court will reward them for their merits, and they will return to their hometowns in fine clothes.
Perhaps everyone thinks that the imperial court has been recuperating for many years, and now is the time to use the army, if the battle goes well, it not only shows the majesty of the emperor, but also can be praised for his military exploits.
But Huyan father and son felt that this battle was not easy to fight, after all, the opponent was a terrifying enemy, and it was not yet known how powerful the opponent was.
General Huyan rode on a horse and walked in the middle of the line with Ruiqi, who rode the black lightning horse, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, and looked very powerful.
He looked firmly into the distance, behind him was a mighty army of 300,000, in the middle of the team, the flag was unfurled, and the yellow flag was embroidered with the two big characters Huyan, hunting and hunting in the west wind.
Ricky was very silent along the way, and the vanguard sent out had not yet sent a reply, and it was not clear what was going on in front of him.
He carefully planned how to win this battle, and from the information he had received before, it seemed that the enemy was very evil, and even a little evil.
Ruiqi knew that the other party was a difficult enemy to deal with, and he had no actual combat experience before, so he usually relied on studying military books and discussing actual combat experience with his father to ponder the strategy of war deployment.
But this time, he and his father went to the battlefield and led 300,000 soldiers. Judging from the number of people alone, it can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to this battle.
If he fails to win this time, perhaps he, the newly appointed general, will lose face.
If he loses the battle, then Ruiqi may not have room to speak in the DPRK in the future, and other colleagues will laugh at him as just a defeated general.
Riich's mood is extremely heavy, he doesn't want to lose the battle, and at the same time wants to win by surprise and quickly repel the enemy, so as to make a war achievement and return home, and have the opportunity to marry his sweetheart Yuxi.
Maybe when he returns to his hometown, he will have more room to speak in front of General Murong. It is also good to take this opportunity to ask General Murong to break the old customs, open the net, and marry Yuxi to him, in his opinion, it is not impossible.
Therefore, Ruiqi has the mood of victory, hoping to defeat the army of Capricorn in one fell swoop, drive the enemy out of the territory of the Celestial Empire, even if he can sign a contract after victory, he can also use this result to serve the court, and he will be able to speak in front of his colleagues in the future.
Riich rode slowly forward on black lightning, and Huyan Liexiong saw Riich's unusual face on the side.
Riich's grim face clearly wrote his worries, Huyan Liexiong knew that Riich had a kind of worry about this battle, he was only participating in the battle for the first time, but for General Huyan, fighting was already commonplace, and the young Riich was trying his skills for the first time.
Although in the school competition, Ruiqi Lik won the crowd and took the lead. But the war is still a little tender for him.
So whether Ruiqi can cooperate with him to win this tough battle, General Huyan has no bottom in his heart, after all, the opponent is different, unlike the enemies he has defeated before, those are conventional wars, as long as he and General Murong echo each other, they are almost invincible.
Even if there are still battles that have suffered losses, they are still flawed.
Huyan Liexiong sighed slightly and withdrew his gaze. He understands Riche's thoughts, and he also understands that Riich sometimes thinks of Yuxi.
Because every night when the moon is shining, Riich will always sit and meditate on the grass outside the tent.
General Huyan estimated that Ruiqi was homesick, and also remembered his beloved Yuxi. There is no teenager who is not in love, and there is no girl who is not pregnant with spring.
Yuxi and Ruiqi are a pair of lovers, but how can these thousands of mountains and rivers stop their longing?
Even when Yuxi asked the messenger to send the news carried by the carrier pigeon, when Riich unfolded the note full of missing poems, the joy on his face that could not be concealed was not to show his deep affection for Yuxi.
Of course, when Riich was full of affection and pondered for a long time before writing those few words, Riich's love immediately overflowed between the lines.
Later, when Riich released the pigeon, he kept watching the white dove fly into the sky, until the small figure disappeared at the end of the blue sky and white clouds, and Riich reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
General Huyan saw everything in his eyes, and couldn't help but regret that he didn't have the courage to ask General Murong to let Ruiqi marry Murong Yuxi.
Now it is a little cruel to let these two little lovers tell their hearts across thousands of mountains and rivers.
General Huyan secretly made up his mind that as long as this battle was over and they could return to their hometown safely, they must explain this matter to General Murong clearly, so as to fulfill this pair of lovesick little lovers, which was also his last wish before he returned to the field.
If Yuxi and Ruiqi form a couple in the future, General Huyan knows that they will be happy.
If he is still stubborn and asks Murong Xiu to marry Ruiqi, it will inevitably be a little unkind, not to mention that Ruilin has always liked Murong Xiu, why didn't he fulfill the good intentions of these two pairs of lovers?
No matter how you think about it, General Huyan thinks that he now has a good reason to do all this, after all, it is for the sake of their children, and General Huyan has no excuse to prevaricate.
In any case, when the battle is over, he will return to his hometown with a strong desire to fulfill this wish.
The team is marching mightily, and it is about to reach the boundary close to the border city, and it may not be long before the elite troops in the vanguard will bring news to inform the enemy in front of them about the battle situation and how to fight this battle, and perhaps by that time, Huyan father and son will know in their hearts.
