The so-called desert is the desert and grassland that stretches for hundreds of miles to the west of the county seat of Shuiyun County in Ye Kingdom.

There are many tribes living in the grasslands and deserts, and they live a nomadic life around the grasslands and oases, but they have to fight for resources such as rich pastures and lakes, rivers, cattle, sheep, and horses for a long time.

So much so that in such years of war, every member of the desert tribe is a natural warrior, and the youngest may have to fight the enemy with his father on a war horse that is taller than himself from a few years old.

Such a living environment has also created the fierceness of the desert tribes, they don't pay attention to the rules, because in that kind of living environment, no one will talk about the rules, who has big fists, whose bones are hard, who can take everyone to eat well, who is the overlord of the desert, who can say it.

But at the beginning of spring this year, a storm broke out in the desert, resulting in many casualties of cattle and sheep, and in recent years, because of the eastward expansion of Gumo country, they have fewer and fewer places to graze sheep and horses, and now they have encountered such a disaster, and even food has become a problem.

As a result, the heads of several tribes got together, united several stronger tribes, and led the army to bypass Huma Pass and rush to the interior of Shuiyun County to loot.

It is said that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, but the tribes on the desert pay the least attention to the grain and grass, they are all grabbing where they go, and eating wherever they go, and the cities such as checkpoints are really useless for them, and can only play the role of deterrence and garrison.

The reason why they didn't dare to enter Shuiyun County before was because there was Chu Qianwen's Northwest Army, and nearly half of the Northwest Army was light cavalry, even if the other party fought a guerrilla war with them, they could let the light cavalry pursue regardless of the cost, even if they couldn't wipe it out, they had to be exhausted and unable to cause damage along the way.

But now the Northwest Army has already existed in name only, and the Northwest Army is now the main general Yang Renqi's command of only 20,000 people, but the cavalry among them is only a few thousand, let them go directly to the tribes in the desert, it is really embarrassing.

Now this Northwest Army can't compete with the other side, and the result is that the desert tribe is like no one in Shuiyun County, and they themselves are a group of people from the desert, fighting with wild beasts and the environment, fierce and fierce by nature, entering the territory of Ye Country and doing all kinds of evil in Shuiyun County.

And King Ye, who learned the news, was furious in the court, which made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty tremble.

Zhao Yan is not the monarch of Wen, he was a fierce general who was accustomed to fighting when he was a son, and it was strange that he was not angry when he heard the news at this time.

He wanted to send an army to encircle and suppress on the spot, but was stopped by Zhao Kuan.

Zhao Kuan arched his hand and said: "Father, my country only had a big fight with Qi last year, and now the national strength has just recovered. ”

After all, as soon as the soldiers and horses move, gold and silver will be thrown out.

But where does the country's money come from?

In the pockets of the people, of course.

Although it is possible to take out the money in the people's pockets and spend it, it is not yet that time for the current Ye country.

Hearing this, Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then you mean not to fight?"

"If you don't fight naturally, these pests will harm the people of my country, if my royal court ignores this, it will inevitably disappoint the people of the world, and it will be a great disadvantage to the status of my royal court. ”

Zhao Kuan said: "Originally, Erchen planned to let all localities adopt defensive strategies and let the surrounding county army and county army deal with the enemy, but this is not a long-term solution, so Erchen wanted to send General Chu to Shuiyun County......

To tell the truth, sending Chu Yujia to the northwest, Zhao Yan was a hundred unwilling.

For him, Chu Yujia is still an unstable factor, once he is released back to the northwest, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan hesitated: "General Chu is the mainstay of my Ye country, let him go to Shuiyun County, this is ......"

"Father, this matter is urgent. ”

Zhao Kuan looked at Zhao Yan firmly, and said: "Shuiyun County is the rear of my Ye country, these desert tribes are more like tigers, leopards and jackals, if they are left to do it this time, then they will only intensify in the future, if they are allowed to shake the foundation of our Ye country, it will be worth the loss." ”

"Therefore, the sons specially invited their father, Feng Chu Yujia to be the county guard of Shuiyun County, and transferred the original county guard back to the capital to obey the order, although this is a bit of a suspicion of overkill, but it can stay until the northwest is pacified, and after transferring General Chu back to open up territory for my Ye country. ”

Zhao Yan and Zhao Kuan looked at each other for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Since Kuan'er is so insistent, then Gu took your suggestion." ”

Immediately after, he turned his head to look at Chu Yujia and asked, "Yujia, do you have any objections?"

"No objection ......"

Chu Yujia had known that there was such a day, so there was nothing surprising about it.

"That's good. ”

Zhao Yan said in a loud voice: "Spread the will of the orphan, seal, Chu Yujia is the county guard of Shuiyun County, and he will be transferred to the post from now on, and the original county guard of Shuiyun County will be transferred back to the capital immediately after the handover." ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Kuang and Chu Yujia walked side by side, and said, "You won't blame me for transferring you too early, right?"

"It's not early. ”

Chu Yujia smiled and said: "When the domestic situation is settled, remember to transfer me back, and at that time I will be your pawn and expand the territory for you,"

"Don't worry, there is a day when no one can be without you. ”

Zhao Kuan smiled and patted Chu Yujia on the shoulder, and then said, "If anyone over there embarrass you, you can kill you when you deserve it, and I will help you support it from the royal court." ”

"It's all you need, do you need anything else?"

This sentence was what Chu Yujia wanted to hear the most, he laughed three times on his back, and said: "Don't send it, let's go, when I come back, I will go to Lingyou Pavilion with you to have a tea and talk." ”

He had long known that he would return to the northwest sooner or later, and sooner or later he would face all this, so he was not surprised at all.

But what really makes him feel uncomfortable may be the imminent separation from his wife and daughter.

Recently, Chu Yujia's performance was good, and Gong Limo's face also had a slight smile, and when she saw Chu Yujia coming back, she also took the initiative to go up to help Chu Yujia take off her official robe.

Gong Limo hung his official robe on the hanger and was about to sit on Chu Yujia's right hand, but he was taken into his arms by Chu Yujia.

Suddenly, Gong Limo was startled, and he struggled to stand up.

But she was firmly hugged by Chu Yujia, her face was against the back of her neck, Chu Yujia pursed her lips and said, "Let me hold it for a while......"

"It's still daytime, how bad it is for people to see, and ...... shame"

"What are you ashamed of?"

Chu Yujia said nonchalantly: "Besides, this is my mansion, this is my home, I hold my wife, who can say what I am?"

Hearing this, Gong Limo struggled to turn around and said, "By the way, why did you come back so early today, don't you have to go to the barracks?"

"No need to go. ”

Chu Yujia chuckled and said: "Lao Zhuang and Tianrui will naturally take care of the affairs in the army, I just went to see what to do, I don't have anything to do, I want to accompany you all the time today." ”

How sensitive is Gong Limo?

Almost immediately, he sensed that something was wrong, and asked in a somewhat uncertain whisper, "Is it okay, you're leaving?"

"Hmmm......"

"The royal court will not keep me in the capital for too long. ”

Chu Yujia smiled bitterly and said, "From the moment I returned to the capital, I knew that there would be such a day, but there was no way, for you and Yao'er, I had to come back." ”

"Then you, when are you leaving?"

Although there was no change in Gong Limo's words, it was obvious that her shoulders had collapsed.

Chu Yujia pursed his lips and said, "...... tomorrow morning"

"In such a hurry?"

"Hmm. ”

"The situation in the northwest is completely chaotic now, the desert tribes have entered Shuiyun County to loot, I send troops one day later, and the people of Shuiyun County will suffer one more day, so I have to leave as soon as possible. ”

Chu Yujia sighed, hugged Gong Limo's arm and couldn't help but tighten a little, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body: "I just can't rest assured of you, you and I have been married for seven years, and the first four years are also good days, but I have some secrets that you don't know, and I was sentenced to exile in the next three years, so you will have to wait for three years, and when I come back, I will have to leave again in less than half a year......"

Gong Limo leaned on Chu Yujia's shoulder and whispered, "It's okay......"

Chu Yujia glanced at Gong Limo with concern, and said: "After I leave, I will leave a team of people from Heiwei to you, these people are all my junior disciples, but they are also reliable, if there is anything, I will order them to do it, whoever bullies you and Yao'er, report to me in time, even if I fly, I will fly back to see you, and I will be angry for you two......"

Hearing this, Gong Limo chuckled and said, "What can I do, but you, pay attention when you get there." ”

On this day, the warmth is still the same, accompanied by the lady and the girl.

On the second day, Chu Yujia put on his armor and mounted his horse, and went straight to the military camp in the west.

Yesterday, the corporal and soldiers here had already received the news, and the whole army had been drawn out in the third watch, and then gathered under the Yueling City, and waited until the order of Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, and the whole army stepped on the official road and went straight to Shuiyun County.

And Gong Limo also came to the city early, looking at the team that was gradually moving away, she still saw Chu Yujia at the forefront of the crowd among the ten thousand people.

Chu Yujia also seemed to feel it, glanced back at her, smiled at her, and then led people forward without looking back.

Hearing that Chu Yujia was going to Shuiyun County to fight against the barbarian invasion, the people in the city spontaneously formed a send-off team to see them off, and all the people in the city were full of people.

"General Chu has a smooth journey and triumphant ...... as soon as possible"

"General Chu will defeat the barbarians as soon as possible and ......triumph as soon as possible."

I don't know who was the first to shout, and then there were one after another congratulations from the crowd.

With the shouting, the eyes of both old and new soldiers in the army began to turn red, and some people even shed tears.

Chu Yujia also exhaled a long breath on his back and said, "Zhuang Jiade!"

"The last general!"

"Pass the order, the whole army runs forward, even if you want to cry, I will cry when I get there, don't be embarrassed in front of the people of the capital!"

"Yes!"

The end of the song is not dead, the wife and daughter of the ancient road cry and break their intestines, since ancient times, I only saw Lang Jun go west, how could I have seen Lang Jun return to the east.
