The flags fluttered in the wind, the horns of the battle were endless, and the sound of Jin Ge colliding was like the roar of the earth.

The majestic drum beat of "Dong Dong Dong Dong" is full of rhythm, and every stroke seems to hit the hearts of the sergeants, making the morale even more excited.

"Kill!" a general took the lead, slashing at the enemy with his sword.

"Kill!" the soldiers followed, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and they rushed straight at the enemy's center.

"Meet the enemy!" Seeing this, a soldier on the opposite side hurriedly waved the flag in his hand.

The many sergeants who had already been ready to attack tightened their grips on their weapons, and according to the arrangement of the flag, the shield soldiers were in front, the pikemen were in the back, and the archers were lined up on both wings.

There were a few "clangs", countless formations of all kinds emerged, and the eyes of the soldiers glowed red, and their strength seemed to have doubled at that moment, roaring towards the enemy.

After a short time, the two armies met in close arms, the sand and dust flew, and the shouts of killing instantly filled the land.

All kinds of Yuan forces are flying in the hands of the Yuan, facing the army, each with its own merits, roaring, ringing, endless.

"Kill!" the general shouted and rushed into the enemy formation, the red flames flying on the broadsword, the knife in his hand fell, and the enemy fell to the ground.

For a moment, blood and flames suddenly filled the land, screams and roars were endless, and the smoke even covered the sky.

One by one, the soldiers fell to the ground, and even some of the Yuan were overwhelmed and were stabbed to death by the enemy.

For a while, before the eagle's beak was closed, the corpses were all over the field.

Yuandian sub-camp.

"Report!" a herald rushed into the tent, knelt on one knee, and presented the scroll in his hand.

Changsun Jing picked up the military newspaper and read it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he laughed.

"It seems that Luan Yan is not stupid, the preemptive move is very good. Eldest Sun Jing stroked his beard and said, "I caught the Yuan Palace off guard." ”

"The gun shot the first bird, and the Yuan Palace was the first to get there, how could you not give him a dismount first. The adjutant next to him smiled, "Yuan Palace's move is not very clever after all." ”

"Gloom is not smart, that old fellow is much more shrewd, but too paranoid in some things. Eldest Sun Jing sighed, "If it weren't for today's troubled times, he would also be a capable minister." ”

"Speaking of which, the Yuan Palace is thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, but this coalition army took the lead and actually reached the Eagle Beak Pass first, hmph, they deserved to be caught off guard by Luan Yan. The lieutenant said disdainfully.

"Although the Yuan Palace has nothing to do with my Yuan Palace on weekdays, the crusade against the thieves is our ally, and we can't rap anymore!" Changsun Jing suddenly became serious, and the adjutant had no choice but to keep silent and retreat to the side.

"How many days are we left to arrive?" said Changsun Jing, who got up and came to the sand table.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, even so, in about five days, we can arrive in front of the Eagle Beak Pass, Luan thieves are now holding up for a while, but this is not surprising, my Yuan Hall is in the Zero Eucalyptus County Army, with the coalition army, a month later can be south to capture Ping'an City. Another general said.

"That's what I'm afraid of on the battlefield. Changsun Jing snorted, "Ever-changing, step by step is the right solution." ”

As he spoke, Changsun Jing turned his head.

"Who is in charge of the Yuan and the eunuchs?"

"General Qiyu, it's down. One of the generals came out and said.

"Oh. Eldest Sun Jing nodded, "You go find a child named Xingnagel Zhen and pass on my summoning order." ”

"Huh?" the general looked up, thinking he had misheard.

"Hurry up and find it, that kid is both the Yuan and the chief of the court guard, the knighthood, it's easy to find. Changsun Jing wiped the double gong in his hand and said.

"No. Although he was a little confused, the general gave the order and retreated out of the tent.

barrack

"General, do you want me to go?" Xing Xuan looked at the general in front of him and wondered, "Is there something wrong?"

"The general also doesn't know that the eldest grandson has a lot of opportunities, and he has never summoned a grassroots officer alone in the past. The general squinted his eyes and said, "Although Your Excellency is also an official, after all, the rank is not high, but the general values you." ”

"Your Excellency is overrated. Xing Yu hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Trouble my lord, you can take these Yuan Ye." ”

As he spoke, Xing Yu handed a bag of Yuan Ye to the adjutant.

The adjutant took it and checked it, it was not too heavy, and when he opened it, he saw that it was all purple yuan leaves.

The adjutant smiled, arched his hand and said, "It seems that Ben will underestimate Your Excellency." ”

"Xia Guan actually has one more thing to help with adults. Xing Xuan said.

"Oh, sir, please. ”

An hour later

Xing Xuan walked into the main tent of the Chinese army.

"I've seen the general. Xing Xuan knelt down on one knee and said.

"Okay, get up. Changsun Jing seemed to be writing something, and didn't look up at Xing Zhen.

Seeing this, Xing Xuan stopped to the side and remained silent.

The hourglass flipped twice, slanting westward.

Changsun Jing slowly put down the pen, raised his head to look at Xing Xuan, his face was calm, and he smiled meaningfully.

"The old man was so deaf that he forgot to let you sit, sit quickly, sit down. Eldest Sun Jing waved his hand and said.

Xing Zhen bowed slightly and sat down on the side.

His face was expressionless, but his body trembled slightly, and he gently rubbed his already sore thighs, and even so, there was no resentment.

This imperceptible little action was seen by Changsun Jing, and he smiled with satisfaction when he saw this.

"I don't know what the general summoned and ordered. Xing Xuan said.

"This is your first official expedition, how do you look at the art of war that the old man handed over to you?" said Changsun Jing, stroking his beard.

Xing Xuan was slightly stunned, he had not studied the art of war deeply.

In front of Changsun Jing, he didn't dare to pretend to understand, so he had to tell the truth.

"General Qiyu, Xing Xuan is stupid, that art of war is too obscure and complicated for Xing Xuan, and Xing Xuan has no ......... Dig deeper. Xing Xuan said.

But Changsun Jing smiled with satisfaction, still stroking his beard, as if he had expected this.

"The art of war is indeed complicated and trivial, but in fact, it is just the essence of the experience of predecessors. Changsun Jing said, "The most basic truth of complicated things is often very simple, the art of war is just a reference thing, learning must be learned, but the art of arranging troops requires talent and study, without going to the battlefield, not sitting in this position, it is impossible to really learn to arrange troops." ”

"It's not easy to deal with military affairs, it's impossible to fully grasp and understand everything. Changsun Jing said again, "The position of the old man looks very glorious, but few people know the difficulties, this feeling of carrying a heavy burden is that everyone behind you is looking forward to every word you say, every action, so many people's fate, completely tied to you alone." ”

Xing Zhen was shocked when he heard this, but he was still half-puzzled.

"The words of the great general are written down below. Xing Xuan had no choice but to give up.

"I know you won't be able to fully understand it for a while, but you will understand it later. Changsun Jing said, "But the old man said this, you must understand at least one thing." ”

"General, please. Xing Zhen bowed and bowed his head and ears.

"Responsibility. Eldest Sun Jing said these two words softly, and Xing Zhen was stunned for a moment.

"Responsibility?" whispered.

"Okay, hmph, I told you this first, the old man's original intention in calling you here was to let you arrange the troops with the old man in this battle. Changsun Jing said.

"But, General, I can only say that I know a fur about this, how can He De arrange the troops with you?" Xing Yu said quickly.

"Hahahaha, it's not for you to give advice and command the three armies, but for you to learn. The eldest grandson Jing said, "Xing Naigel Zhen, are you willing to worship the old man as a teacher? Although the old man is not a big man, he still gives you what he knows." ”

Xing Zhen couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Changsun Jing, who suddenly became positive, knowing that he wasn't joking.

"Ah, you can think about it first, don't rush. The eldest grandson stroked his beard, his eyes glanced to the side, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.

"Master!" Xing Yu hurriedly knelt down on one knee and respectfully saluted to the eldest grandson Jing.

The eldest grandson Jing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Hurry up. ”

Xing Xuan stood up happily.

I didn't expect Changsun Jing to be willing to accept himself as an apprentice, this is something I didn't expect, and if I can be taught by the general of the branch hall, I will definitely be able to make rapid progress.

"In the future, you will still perform official salutes in front of everyone, and you can call me Master in private. Changsun Jing said, "In this way, you will be qualified to enter the camp of the Chinese army and participate in decision-making." ”

"Master Xie. Xing Xuan said happily.

Eldest Sun Jing immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"Master, I'm ...... Can you still go to the battlefield if you participate in decision-making?" Xing Xuan seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly asked.

"Of course you can, you don't have to sit in the camp like the old man, Rong Yu is still your boss, just listen to his orders to go into battle and kill the enemy. Changsun Jing said, "The battlefield has always been cruel, and only by surviving can you kill the enemy!"

"Yes. Xing Xuan immediately said happily.

night

Amun, who was cultivating on the side, looked at Xing Xuan, who was smiling brightly, full of doubts.

"What's so happy?" Amon couldn't help but ask.

Xing Zhen smiled and told him about today's events.

Amon looked at Xing Xuan in surprise.

"Yes, Xiao Zhen, you are favored by the general, and he actually took you as an apprentice?" Amon said.

"Be quiet. Xing Zhen reminded.

"Oh, what's going on. Amon said.

"I don't know, the general said a lot of truths, and I don't understand anything about it. "Then he took me as an apprentice." ”

"That's right. Amon said.

"In the future, whether it is cultivation or learning, not to mention the guidance of Uncle Feng, there is such a major cultivator to guide, I think it will be easier. Xing Xuan said.

"Hey, I really envy you, you are already stronger than me, but now with the guidance of the general, I am beyond my reach. Amon said.

"You're excellent, too, Amon. Xing Xuan looked at him with pursed eyes and said with a smile, "If I guessed correctly, your cultivation should be on par with me now." ”

Amon smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head.

"Hey, by the way, have you seen Chen lately?" Amon asked casually.

Xing Xuan was suddenly stunned, and her smile gradually disappeared.

I looked for the girl, but the girl was very cramped, and it has been like this recently, which made me very troubled.

Amon saw him sigh softly, and didn't dare to ask again.

At this time - outside the tent.

Chen sat in the reeds outside the tent, looking at the bright moon in the sky, without saying a word.

At this time, an old woman with a kind face dragging a robe walked over.

Chen heard the footsteps and quickly stood up.

"Mama. ”

The old woman was a military medical officer, and she was also a nun.

"Can't sleep?" the old woman said with concern.

Chen lowered his head and bit his lip.

"Is there something on your mind?" said the old woman with a smile.

Chen nodded slightly.

"Everybody has things and secrets, child, if you don't want to tell anyone else, you can tell the creator, prayer can sometimes make people forget their troubles. The old woman folded her hands and said reverently.

"To the God of Creation?" Chen wondered, "Will it have an effect?"

"Yes, the creator knows everything. The old woman said, "But pray sincerely, and calm your heart first." ”

Chen nodded when he heard this.

"Thank you, Mama. ”

The old woman bowed slightly and walked towards the tent.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Chen closed his eyes, bowed his head slightly, and folded his hands.

The breeze blows softly, and the reeds swing slowly.

The reed hair fluttered under the bright moon, and the maiden stood in it, praying sincerely, like a rare painting in the world.
