Chapter 58: Let It Be
In the military tent of the tactical group, Coach Qiu and several people gathered in front of the map, blushing and arguing endlessly.
"The scheduled camp is too precipitous, two hundred miles away from the city, if there is an accident, send someone to Guancheng for help, the cavalry marches day and night, and it takes two days to go back and forth, and the standard team can't hold it!"
The instructor who spoke, pointing to the map with a short stick in his hand, unceremoniously emphasized again: "Team Leader Qiu, the county lord is in the vanguard standard, and the Sanhewan camp must retreat." ”
"Withdraw? Why do you want to withdraw, it is precisely because the county lord is in the standard team, we must stand in the front of each standard battalion, otherwise, Ling Bo is still the ninth standard. I agree with Team Leader Qiu's plan, the terrain of Sanhewan is complex and conducive to fortification, even if it is besieged by heavy enemy troops, it can break through from the waterway, and there is no need to ask for help from Guancheng. ”
The five instructors are divided into two factions, one seeks stability and the other seeks change, no one can convince anyone, protect the safety of the county lord, wash away the shame of the ninth standard, and the dilemma is unsolvable for a while.
"The tactical group only gives advice, and it is the commander's duty to choose how to choose, hehe. ”
Gao Yuan lifted the curtain, Coach Qiu heard the footsteps, and handed over the trouble to him without looking back, only Gao Yuan dared to enter and exit the tactical group military tent at will, and the standard commander was gentle and gentle because he was a woman, so he had to say hello before coming in.
After reading the camp site selection report and carefully observing the map for a while, Gao Yuan really wanted to add another scar to Coach Qiu's face. If there is no factor of Mei Ying, Sanhe Bay is an ideal camp, which can be attacked and defended, and there is still a way to retreat when the battle is lost, but now it is clear that he deliberately makes things difficult for the captain of the guard, and uses the imperial lord as a bait to lure the enemy to attack, and wash away the shame of the ninth standard.
"Boy, don't curse in your heart, this camp is not Lao Tzu's choice, I received an order from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to prepare for war in winter, and the principal sent someone to grab it. If you want to scold him, as long as you are brave enough!"
Gao Yuan turned to the last page of the report, and sure enough, he saw the signature of the principal and the big seal of the standard, so he was uneasy and missed the key, and immediately changed his tone when he saw this.
"I just said that when I first arrived, how could there be an ideal camp waiting, it turned out to be the handiwork of the principal. Coach, your plan to lure the enemy deep is too risky, using the county lord as bait, aren't you kidding my head? ”
"Stop, your head, the Sunset Empire is not interested, it is far less valuable than Qin Rufeng. Boy, to give me a nice word about it, the location of the camp has changed?"
For the first time, Gao Yuan avoided the military affairs of the standard team, leaving the problem to the standard commander Wen and gently.
"The site of the standard team, what right do I have to talk more, you should go and consult the bid chief, whether you advance or retreat, I will be ordered to carry it out. ”
Several instructors didn't expect him to be humble for the first time, and Coach Qiu scolded angrily: "Give Lao Tzu an official tone, okay, the tactical group is subordinate to the captain of the guard, and you should ask the standard commander." ”
If you can't get rid of the trouble, then find another way, and Gao Yuan diverted the topic: "Coach, can the entrance ceremony be canceled?" ”
"Lao Tzu hates this officialdom even more, but the ceremony of entering the city is a common practice in the army, one is to express the official participation in the war, and the other is to raise the flag and make a name for himself, how do you ask her to cancel it?"
Another instructor interjected, half explaining and half comforting: "Jicui City has gathered twenty-three standard battalions at the moment, except for the three battalions of Xiangyun County, the others are from all over the county, the imperial county lord is the standard-bearer of the standard team, and it is also the symbol of the eighty-one standard battalions, the meaning of her participation in the war is to boost the morale of the students, and the royal prestige will never allow retreat." You don't have to worry, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and 100,000 defenders in Jicui City, and the imperial military god Yan Lao Hou Ye is personally in charge, and the day he enters the city, he will definitely be heavily fortified, and the assassins will not succeed. ”
Gao Yuan was still relieved, and asked Coach Qiu: "Coach, the patrol chiefs of the camping affairs will deal with it, can you take me into Jicui City and change into civilian clothes, I want to see the terrain with my own eyes, otherwise I will always feel uneasy." ”
"Let's go, you'd better call Hua Yue and Yan Ning, Qin Rufeng is too attention-grabbing, don't let him accompany him. ”
After reporting to the gentle commander, the guards were handed over to Li Changgong to take charge, and Takagaki and his party of four left the temporary camp in civilian clothes.
In the central and western part of the Luofeng Continent, the continuous long mountains cross the north and south, and the deep mountains and dense forests isolate the two empires of Qinghui and Cuihua, during which there are only three valleys for passage, and the two countries set up heavy troops at both ends of the valley to prevent sneak attacks, and the westernmost Qiankun Valley, the Qinghui Empire is Jicui Pass.
The pass of the wide valley in Lixu, the huge stone strips are piled up into a three-zhang high wall, which is full of arrow tower forts, and the group of Gao Yuan has shown their identity tokens, and walked into the gate under the gaze of the sergeant guarding the pass.
Jicuiguan has four walls, each road is separated by five miles, there are few residents on both sides of the road, and most of them are military camps. The southernmost wall is no more than 100 steps wide and 5 zhang high, surpassing the Kyoto Castle Wall and is at the narrowest point of the valley.
Standing on the Guan Tower, the valley extends to the south, the mountains turn back a few miles away, only the verdant mountains are left in front of you, the cliffs are on both sides, the beacon tower on the top of the mountain in the distance is hidden in the perennial clouds and mist, the scenery in front of the guard sergeant is the mountain rocks and trees in addition to the clouds.
Stay for a day, the mountain breeze is refreshing, the scenery is picturesque, the literati and ink writers are talented and beautiful, and the poems and paintings are like being in a fairyland; stay for a year, the four seasons change warm in winter and cool in summer, and the spring flowers and autumn are enough to solve the short-term lovesickness; after three years of military service, you feel lonely, and a piece of paper is just to get rid of loneliness. The trial soldiers, the seniority of the mixed army, all regard Jicui City as the best border pass.
What about 10 years, 20 years, enlistment in the army at the age of 18, and retirement at the age of 55?
"Qingshan is still there, how many people are recruited? seniors are sad, and they learn to hang their backs. The years are endless, and things are no longer people. I'm here today, and it's sad to think about it. Grandpa once wielded a knife, and grandson drew a bow again. The hundred battle swords are not old, and they are in the remnant courtyard. Tears of child camp orphans, the name of the nobility of Kyoto. Who knows the king's will, when will he stop fighting? Perennial with clouds and mist, the trace of the fairy is still difficult to find. Dare to ask what is the will of heaven on the ninth night!"
Guan He was cold, the remnants of the army were gone, seeing the scenery and feelings, venting loudly, Gao Yuan could not restrain the stuffiness accumulated in his heart, stood on the Guan Tower and asked the sky with tears, and poured out all the depression for many days. At the age of sixteen, who has deep scheming, who has deep city, who has more suffering and responsibilities than him.
Coach Qiu took out a token from his arms, and after seeing it, the sergeant guarding the pass put away his knife and gun and stood in the distance, and no one stepped forward to interfere.
Hua Yue and Yan Ning have been to the Remnant Soldiers' Academy, which blind remnant soldier, which old man who raised Gao Yuan, who has been guarding this Jicui Pass for a full thirty-seven years, never married a wife or had children in his life, and threw his blood on the Guanqiang Arrow Tower, made countless military exploits, and wrote his loyalty to the empire, but now he is lonely in the poor countryside but survived.
"Xiao Yuanzi, let's go, the Remnant Academy, senior sister will accompany you. ”
There were no superfluous words, let alone flowery words, Hua Yue naturally pulled him up and walked downstairs, just like the eldest sister found her lost little brother, but it was a different taste in Yan Ning's eyes.
Hua Yue's arrogance and unreasonableness have long been famous in Lingbo Biaoying, Qin Rufeng is her brother, and when she mentions this sister, she is afraid and loved, she dared to beat you in public when she turned her face, and then smiled and said that you are not a man, and you will deal with a weak woman. Weak woman, if Hua Yue is weak, no one in the Lingbo Biao Battalion dares to be a hero, not only the cadets, but also the instructors and guarded soldiers!
As both Hua and Qin's peerless masters, Long Ying is a master, Qiankun is a point acupoint, and the famous martial arts of the Luofeng Continent, it is not a problem to learn a martial artist, Hua Qin's two chief instructors, Fang to the middle age to surpass the martial arts school is the proof. As for her, both are fine, even the former Xiao cavalry captain's wind-chasing marksmanship, the chaotic arrow trick of the master of the standard camp, and the two martial arts skills that require a foundation of qi refining to be successful, in her eyes are like children's toys, no one has ever seen her practice, everyone knows that she has practiced.
Yan Ning has investigated, only Gao Yuan, a fool, is the senior sister and the elder sister are short and short, Hua Yue's real age is as old as him, in the winter of the same year, in the same month, born on the same day, Yan Ning is jealous of God's favoritism, the same senior sister and brother, born in the same year and month, this will not achieve a happy marriage, it will provoke the anger of people and gods, and the world will not tolerate it.
In the Remnant Soldier Academy, Yan Ning watched coldly, and the attitude of the old man couldn't hide her eyes, which was obviously trying to combine the two into a family.
Mei Ying inadvertently appeared in the middle, Gao Yuan fell into the love network without knowing the bottom, and Yan Ning was always worried that Hua Yue would turn his face. Kyoto Hua family, the youngest granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, that is the concubine of the Qin Mansion of the Protector of the Country, the empire has a total of thirteen founding princes, the two families are favored in one, and the Dugu royal family also has to weigh the weight, this is afraid that even Mei Ying does not know the truth, Yan Ning is also before coming to the guard, her mother specially said to her, the purpose is very clear, the two can make friends naturally and are happy, and the most unfortunate do not have a conflict.
Senior sister will accompany you, this sentence Gao Yuan may be used as a senior sister to comfort him, Yan Ning heard the voice outside the words, Hua Yue publicly expressed his attitude, and he will definitely not watch it again in the future, that sentence was actually said to her, and it was also passed on to Mei Ying through her mouth.
After venting his emotions, Gao Yuan calmed down, only to find that his senior sister had been pulling him away, and Yan Ning, who was following behind, had a strange face, and was busy withdrawing his hand, Hua Yue's big eyes glared and slapped him on the head.
"Shy, just talking to yourself and going crazy, this will know that it's a shame, honestly survey the terrain!"
"Senior sister, they all look at it, if you let go of me, you won't lose your temper again. ”
Hua Yue's face turned red and let go of his hand, and in a blink of an eye, he made fun of Yan Ning: "He quarreled with Mei Ying, is it just in line with a certain lady's mind, hehe, don't think I don't know." ”
"There is no quarrel, each has its own difficulties, and it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. Yan Ning did not show weakness in his words, Gao Yuan killed Chen Ang's son and freed her, Yan Fu buried her feelings at first sight, it was impossible to let her quit easily, and this battle naturally didn't matter whether it was right or wrong.
"Who's man, the boss doesn't understand the amorous feelings, and he is favored by the beautiful woman. The restaurant wiped the tables and stools, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the gently moved wine glass, recorded a little affection. Half a pot of residual wine is red, whose face is red, whose heart is red? Senior brother, you want to solve my doubts. ”
Hua Yue sang playfully, but the lyrics were the first acquaintance of Gao Yuan and Mei Ying, Gao Yuan blushed, and hurriedly withdrew to chase the revenge coach, and the man had to do the right thing, so he let the senior sister and Yan Ning two women go to fight.
"In front of the Hou Mansion, Diao Nu bullied new guests, who knew that he was a deep girl, and acted as an infatuation to deceive the world. The bonfires in the snow, the jade flutes are falling, humanity is a grudge that will never be eliminated, and no one can understand the sound of the taiqin. How helpless, dancing alone and flying snow to lose people's souls, just to keep him in Yanfu, there is a fate, and the two swallows fly together to grow their wings. ”
"Hua Yue!" Yan Ning is no longer calm, the dare lover has already investigated the bottom clearly, in vain she and Mei Ying think they are smart, and they have always regarded this senior sister as the scenery on the side of the road, but in fact, she is the person behind the scenes.
"My little junior brother is a fool, he has a stupid fortune, marrying a few more wives and concubines, adding people to the Remnant Soldiers' Academy, and being a senior sister is sincerely happy, but don't intentionally or unintentionally harm his future and life. ”
Gao Yuan and Coach Qiu looked at the Guansai, and went to the outer city to investigate, until it was dark, they discussed the protection plan, and the two women behind them were at loggerheads, and an agreement was also reached in the confrontation, everything will be natural, and they will never turn their faces into enemies because of love and hatred.
