Peach forest in the back mountain.

The spring rain continues to pull the peach petals to fall down the eaves of the empty stele, the breeze blows the skirt, and the lotus step gently lifts the greenery.

Looking at the wisps of green smoke wafting out of the ashes of the burned money and the neatly placed worship objects, Qian Ling'er's eyes flickered, and then she walked forward quickly, trembling and caressing the spotless cold stone tablet and the tender green willow branches.

She said excitedly: "It's him, it's Yu who is back, it must be him." ”

As she spoke, she turned around and looked around despite the drizzle, and her eyes were full of tears and she couldn't stop shouting to the peach forest: "Yu, it must be you, you came back, but why didn't you see Ling'er?"

The spring breeze and rain continued like a curtain, sprinkling on her weak body. A chill hit, making her already weak body even worse.

Qian Ling'er coughed violently, and then fell to the ground. I don't know when Tao De came to his side to support him, and comforted: "Senior sister, if the junior brother is here, how can he not see us? ”

Hearing Todd's words, Qian Ling'er pointed to Master Qian's spotless tombstone and shook her head: "No, if you are not a close relative of your grandfather, how can you go beyond the door to perform the tomb sacrifice on your behalf?"

Todd looked at the clean tombstone, but his brows were deep and he was silent for a moment, and then he said: "The teacher has enshrined Huide Sage for my king, the teacher of the world's students, and it is not an exaggeration for the students to perform this ceremony, so don't think too much about it. Look at the custom of placing willow branches, when I am a student in Qingqiu Town, the students still have this heart under the chaos in northern Xinjiang, but I can think of the teacher's prestige, and I am a great Zhao Wenfeng and etiquette. ”

Saying that, Tao De seemed very emotional, and Qian Linger also believed it when she saw this. You must know that when grandpa was alive in the past, this Qingqiu was hundreds of miles away, who didn't respect it, let alone Zhao Wangyi was named a saint.

At the end of the tomb, Tao Deqian Ling'er returned to the outside of the small building, and the small building had been sorted out at this time. Although it still looks dilapidated, it is much cleaner than before.

Seeing this, Qian Ling'er was about to push open the courtyard door and enter, but was suddenly called by a figure walking not far away.

I saw a mournful woman leading several miserable villagers, and hesitated: "Spirit... Mrs. Hou.... ”

When Qian Ling'er saw that it was Aunt Liu, she hurriedly walked over and smiled: "Aunt Liu still call me Ling'er, it sounds kind." ”

Aunt Liu suddenly nodded excitedly: "Hey, hey, okay." Ling'er, my aunt brought the villagers to thank you, but thanks to your friends, your Aunt Liu and all the villagers can have a way out. ”

Seeing Qian Ling'er's puzzled face, she thought for a while and said, "Yesterday, Yan Manzi entered the village, it was a sea of people, and the old and young in the village were about to die. But at this moment, a fairy ......"

When Aunt Liu told Xiao Fan about yesterday's repulsion of the Yan army, Qian Ling'er frowned even deeper. Obviously, she doesn't know any friends of fairy immortals, but judging from the meaning of Aunt Liu's words, this fairy is clearly looking for her.

Qian Ling'er, who was puzzled at this time, looked at Tao De, who was also puzzled beside her, and then looked at Aunt Liu and asked, "Aunt Liu, can this fairy tell me about his identity?"

Aunt Liu thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up and hurriedly said: "You asked, my aunt remembered, not long after the fairy drove away Yan Manzi, a man wearing a black face and holding a rusty iron sword came. seems to be the owner of the fairy, and he is also a Taoist immortal. It just looked like his body was not very good, and he vomited blood and fell down not long after he came. It's really weird, how can an immortal's body bones be so empty?"

After seeing off the villagers, Qian Linger and Tao De came to the small house thoughtfully.

Looking at the bamboo slips scattered on the ground and already burned, she glanced at Tao De, who was contemplative, and asked expectantly, "Senior brother, do you think that black-faced man is Yu? ”

Seeing that Qian Ling'er seemed to be excited again, Tao De hurriedly reassured him and guessed: "It's possible, but Brother Wei thinks it's not very likely." ”

Qian Ling'er suddenly said anxiously: "Why?"

After thinking for a moment, Tao De said seriously: "First, if it is a junior brother, why doesn't he show his true face? Second, that fairy alone can repel countless Yan troops, can you imagine what kind of cultivation identity his master is? As far as I know, even the national teacher Guanglongzi is only the strength of that fairy, how many years does it take to cultivate like this? And although the junior brother is talented, he is not past the age of double ten after all. Third,.......。 ”

Speaking of this, Todd looked at the surroundings and whispered: "Senior brother, most of them are still in the palace, and I have bought a palace for my brother, and I learned that there is a secret room in the eldest princess's bedroom, and outsiders are not allowed to approach ......." ”

As soon as Todd's words came out, it was self-evident. Qian Ling'er suddenly stared at her, and said eagerly: "Senior brother, is there a way to sneak in?"

Looking at Tao De with a look of embarrassment, Qian Ling'er knew that it was not easy for the senior brother to do this, and the palace was heavily guarded, so how could he easily sneak in?

At this moment, Tao De was relieved: "Senior sister wait a little longer, and try again when you are a brother but this war in the northern Xinjiang." ”

Seeing this, Qian Linger was grateful, and she didn't say anything.

And at this moment, the voice of the partial general came from the small courtyard outside the house: "General Qiqi Zhenbei, the Yan army is moving and is shrinking its forces, it seems that it is going to retreat the barrier of the Heavenly Bridge, and the last general is waiting for the general's dispatch." ”

Hearing this, Tao Dehuo got up, smiled apologetically at Qian Ling'er, and walked out.

In a short time, Todd's loud and majestic voice came from outside the house.

"The 100,000 rangers of Northern Yan invaded the realm, but they robbed my Dazhao of materials and money and food for self-sufficiency, and this time the other army must be slow to act for supplies, it is a God-given opportunity for our army to annihilate Yan Barbarians in one fell swoop, and the generals will listen to the order. ”

The Xuanjia generals of the two states shouted in unison: "Here!"

Todd swept through the crowd one by one, and then drew an arrow and shouted, "Where is the herald?"

A small colonel hurriedly walked out and knelt on one knee and clenched his fists and shouted: "Here!"

Tao De pointed to the location of Dongzhou Chencheng on the map behind him, and ordered: "You immediately send a message to the 10,000 spearmen and horsemen who are in ambush at the foot of Guanxing Mountain east of Chencheng, and secretly move the army to the east of Ningdong Town, and wait for our army to surprise the flank of the Yan army." ”

After speaking, the little colonel took the order and led the prancing horse to gallop away.

Drawing out an arrow again, Tao De's face sank like water, and he pointed to Yangcheng, the big city of Dongzhou, and said: "This is Yangcheng, Jiancheng, Dongzhou, there are 30,000 ironclad infantry troops in it, but there is no capable general to control it, this general needs a brave general more than 1,000 light cavalry to catch up, and lead the army Chen Bing to the south bank of the lonely river, and wait for our army to break the enemy together, who dares to take it?"

Speaking of this, Todd held the arrow in his hand and looked at the generals. Although this place is not far from Yangcheng, it is difficult to protect the danger of only a thousand horsemen all the way, and everyone suddenly hesitated.

Seeing this, Tao De snorted angrily: "The northern Xinjiang is restless, and the lives are ruined, how can you be greedy for life and afraid of death since you are my general of the Great Zhao? If you don't dare, what is the fear of my scholar going in person?"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals and colonels immediately bowed their heads, and the previous partial general was even more ashamed, he walked out of the queue, saluted and said: "The general's words are ashamed of us, and the last general is not talented, and I am willing to go." ”

"Okay!" Tao De listened, handed over the arrow, and said approvingly: "The general is brave and brave, worthy of my general Zhao." The Yan army has abundant supplies, and the return is like an arrow, and the general's trip will be safe and sound. ”

After all, Todd will continue to fight without looking at the departing partiality.

Half an hour later, outside Peach Blossom Village.

Tao De helped Qian Ling'er into the carriage and instructed: "Senior sister, the war is about to start, and it is not easy to stay in the land of Qingqiu for a long time. ”

Looking at Tao De in armor, Qian Ling'er smiled and said: "Senior brother is safe, the battlefield sword has no eyes, be more careful." ”

Todd smiled and nodded, lowered the curtain, and instructed the general: "You must be careful on this trip, and go back to the Hou Mansion to pass the book to me." ”

The general clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, general." ”

With that, he jumped up and straddled his horse, and led five hundred soldiers with a spear in his hand to escort the carriage south.

Looking at the distant chariot slowly disappearing from sight, Todd's face became gloomy.

When he stepped onto the majestic black horse beside him, he glanced at the other general waiting beside him and said in a deep voice: "The secluded empty valley, the clouds and mist are peachy, what a beautiful situation, next time I will come back, I don't want to see anyone disturb again." ”

Hearing Todd's words, the general's expression did not change, and he only said in a deep voice: "The last general understands." ”

After speaking, he turned around and rode towards the Peach Blossom Village, and several horses behind him slowly drew out the spears between the side buckles of the horses and followed them.

Suddenly there was a miserable cry and the neighing of war horses in Peach Blossom Village.

Listening to this strange sound, Todd looked at the misty Qingqiu Mountain Range in the distance, slowly closed his eyes and muttered, "Why do you want to come back?"

......

A few days later.

Zhao Zhenbei's general Xinghou Taode led a total of 150,000 troops in northern Xinjiang, and besieged the 100,000 Yan troops who wanted to return north to the sky bridge on the southeast and west. The 20,000 foot soldiers of the Yan army escorted the baggage and retreated to the Tianzhi Bridge first, leaving 80,000 iron cavalry to cross the Chen Tianzhi Bridge to block the pace of the Zhao army's advance.

The outer terrain of the Heavenly Bridge is full of potholes, undulating and undulating, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, but even so, the Yan army is still undaunted and full of arrogance. In their eyes, the soldiers and civilians of Zhao Di are all weak lambs to be slaughtered, while they are the real warriors, born for the battlefield and live for killing. If it weren't for the rich land and the well-armed Southerners, how could they resist their iron horses and scimitars?

At this time, the Zhao army was fighting on the ground, occupying the time, location, and people, and the morale of each was high, and the drums of the army resounded in the sky!

"Woo woo woo~!" a horn sounded like a wolf's howl, piercing the snare drum and ringing, bringing a great tremor and the sound of iron hooves!

The 80,000 iron cavalry of the Yan army actually took the lead in attacking, divided into three ways, and in the long sound of the horn, under the silver light of the scimitar swirling, they rushed towards the Zhao army in the distance like a red wave!

Under the great army of Zhao, Tao De stood on the high platform in the middle, under the banner of Xuan, pointed at the red tide in the smoke and dust in the distance with one hand, and shouted angrily: "My soldiers of Da Zhao, I have ordered 50,000 troops to smuggle across the bridge of heaven from Wanghai Town, and this battle is surrounded on all sides, and we will definitely annihilate 100,000 Yan Barbarians in one fell swoop! Yan Barbarians slaughter my people, destroy my homeland, Yin and my Zhao daughters, you are all my big Zhao seven-foot men, when will you stay without a fight at this time?"

As soon as these words came out, the mood in the Chinese army suddenly rose, and the sound spread from the inside out, and the whole army shouted: "Kill, kill, kill!"

Seeing this, Todd raised his sword and pointed at the wave of red blood, and shouted: "The three armies are ordered to fight to the death and not retreat, but those who retreat will be beheaded on the spot." The soldiers marched forward with me. ”

After that, Tao De ordered the Chinese army to move forward and merge with the two large formations in the southeast and southeast, and the drums sounded in unison and slowly moved forward. In front of the formation, two one-man-high columns of Xuantie spiked shield carts advanced in the midst of the forest-like silver spears, and at the same time, the rhythmic shouting of the sergeants was constantly heard! It can be said that the air swallows the mountains and rivers, and the sound is shaking in the sky.

As Tao De said, the Zhao army surrounded the Yan cavalry on three sides, and finally after the Zhao army smuggled across the bridge of heaven and defeated the defenders and successfully recaptured the large amount of supplies looted by the Yan army. The return route of the Yan army was cut off, and nearly 100,000 Yan cavalry became a lone army in an instant, besieged by the four-way army of Zhao State outside the Tianzhi Bridge. For a time, the morale of the Zhao army was high, but the Yan army fell into the deep pool.

This siege was three days, and after three days, the Yan army ran out of food and began to kill horses to satisfy hunger. Zhao Zhenbei's general Tao De didn't know where to come up with a plan, and ordered the musician to play the song of Beiyan homesickness in front of the battle at night, and suddenly the morale of the Yan army fell to the bottom, and the mourning was everywhere, which was really embattled.

Just when the Zhao army was preparing to completely annihilate the Yan army, which had no fighting spirit, the national divisions of the two countries also came to the front one after another! The situation underwent a subtle change.
