A eunuch broke into the harem

Li Xiaomin was blushing, waiting to make a fool of himself, when suddenly a red shadow flashed in his eyes, and he saw a slim figure jumping out of his arms, his figure was like lightning, chasing the sharp arrow, it wasn't Yueniang, but who was it? ?

Li Xiaomin was refreshed, watching Yueniang catch up with the arrow like lightning, and flicked the arrow lightly with her slender hand. The arrow immediately drooped slightly. The arrow branch is shot from it into two parts.

Outside the arena, there were thunderous cheers.The soldiers of the Suppressing Evil Army who followed him to shout and cheer cheered loudly, feeling that they were honored.

With Yueniang's help, Li Xiaomin was determined, and sat on the horse proudly, holding a carved bow, smiling slightly, showing his true youthful qualities.

With his hand, he pulled the carved bow steadily, and the long arrow rested on the string. Li Xiaomin saw the target, let go of his hand lightly, and shot the second arrow.

Yueniang had already flown back to his side, flew out with the arrow, and kept reaching out in the air to move the arrow, so that the arrow flew in the right direction.

This arrow, as expected, also hit the red heart, split the old arrow firmly nailed on it into two, and fell under the target.

With these two arrows at the bottom, Li Xiaomin was completely relieved, and began to flatter the horse and gallop, making all kinds of fancy moves on the horse, such as fishing for the moon in the sea, shooting arrows backwards, and even hiding in the stirrups.Although the firing speed of each arrow was not very fast, they all hit the target smoothly, breaking all the ten arrows shot by Qian Wulin in front and falling down.

Outside the school grounds, the soldiers were already hoarse from cheering.Even the civil and military officials were amazed that this young man could have such abilities at such a young age.Could it be that besides serving his master in the palace, does he have to take time to hide and practice archery every day?

Yueniang flew back and forth in the air, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely, and consumed a lot of spiritual power, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, glaring coquettishly at this master who only cared about being handsome.

After Li Xiaomin shot ten arrows, he waved his hand in the air, patted her black silk temples without being seen by others, touched her breasts, and patted his horse back with a smile. Said: "I have finished shooting, how to compete next time, please show me!"

Empress Zhou smiled happily, parted her red lips lightly, and said calmly: "You can go and choose a good weapon, and compete with General Qian in horsepower!"

Li Xiaomin kowtowed to accept the order, and got on his horse to choose a weapon.

He has also learned all eighteen kinds of weapons, and he has also learned many games with the two ghost generals.For this battle, what weapon to choose is quite difficult to think about.

Overlooking the martial arts arena from a distance, Qian Wulin was already holding a commonly used big knife, and he immediately waited in the arena.His face was full of murderous looks, as if he wanted to choose someone and devour him.

Seeing that he used a knife, Li Xiaomin didn't want to choose the same one again. Seeing that he was wearing a white shirt now, he slapped his horse to the weapon rack, took a bright silver gun, and shook it in the air. He was good, so he patted his horse and held his gun and galloped towards the martial arts arena, came to Qian Wulin, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Qian, the young general came to ask for advice, I hope the general will be merciful!"

Qian Wulin in black armor snorted, full of contempt for this general who was born as a eunuch, just now he lost in the arrow competition for a while, which made him very ashamed, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, waved his hand and raised the knife, and slashed Chop it down.

Li Xiaomin saw that his saber was serious and fierce, he immediately raised his gun to meet him, the saber and gun intersected, and there was a loud noise, the two forces collided, both of them were swayed on the horse, then they dodged their horses, and faced the enemy intently.

Li Xiaomin is better, this kind of strength is far worse than the two ghost generals, just now it was just by accident, he didn't use his full strength, and he was evenly divided with Qian Wulin.

However, Qian Wulin was shocked. The strength of his knife just now was so fierce that even a mighty general in the imperial army would have difficulty receiving it. Ability should not be underestimated.

Wary in his heart, Qian Wulin completely underestimated the enemy, raised his big knife, and slashed at Li Xiaomin.Li Xiaomin dealt with it calmly, with only three or four points of strength, he blocked all the big swords, and occasionally countered with a shot or two, which also made Qian Wulin flustered and tired of coping.

Qian Wulin became more frightened as he fought more and more, knowing that he had encountered a strong enemy, this thin and handsome little eunuch like a woman was more difficult than the fierce generals he had encountered in his life, he was afraid that he would lose here today, losing face would be a minor matter, If something happened to the prime minister, how would I explain it to him?

In desperation, Qian Wulin pulled out all the stops, swiping the big blade all over the sky, the blade was shining, and Li Xiaomin was involved.Li Xiaomin was able to fight, and the silver spear pierced out like a white dragon coming out of a hole, entangled with the light of the big knife. Although Qian Wulin's sword was heavy and fierce, he couldn't overwhelm his marksmanship.

On the sidelines of the martial arts arena, all the officials and the army were all dumbfounded.I saw two generals on the field, each using their own abilities, with the tip of their swords and spears, the cold light filled the sky, covering the two generals.In the end, it was gradually difficult to see the second general's moves, only to see the cold air, which was eye-catching.There were only two generals, one white and one black, shouting and shouting in the cold light, fighting fiercely, full of murderous aura, it was thrilling to watch.

Suddenly, there was a bang on the martial arts arena, but the extremely heavy sword flew up into the air, drew a long arc in the air, and landed more than ten steps away. The blade was heavily inserted into the ground, and the handle It kept shaking in the air and made a low-pitched sound.

Looking at the second general, he had already stopped. The handsome young man in white battle robe held a bright silver gun, the tip of the gun gleamed coldly, and pressed against the throat of the black-armored general, obviously he had won.

Qian Wulin's face was flushed with shame and anger, and he stared fiercely at Li Xiaomin with a pair of bulging eyes, wishing he could tear him to pieces.It's just that his life is hanging by his hands now, even though he is furious, he doesn't dare to make mistakes.

Li Xiaomin slowly retracted the spear, hung it on the horse's neck, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "General Qian, I have accepted it!"

Qian Wulin snorted, and answered without a face. Hearing cheers from the sidelines, they were all soldiers under Li Xiaomin.Looking back at the horrified and slumped expressions of his subordinates, Qian Wulin was so ashamed that he could only find a crack on the ground and get in to hide.

Empress Zhou was delighted to see it, nodded and smiled and said, "Young man is indeed brave, and I deserve the training of my palace. Now that the victory and defeat have been decided, let Li Xiaomin hang his seal and go to war!"

Qian Song listened to it and was dissatisfied.In today's matter, it is obvious that the Queen Zhou and Zhou Tai's faction bullied others and refused to let the general go out. Instead, they sent a young eunuch to fight. The army, I am afraid that it will miss the opportunity of the war and delay the important affairs of the country.

Seeing Li Xiaomin's victory, Zhou Tai was at the moment when he was in high spirits, so he couldn't tolerate such sophistry, and immediately started arguing with him.The two were at odds with each other, and they couldn't stop arguing, which attracted the officials of the two factions to join in the quarrel.

Empress Zhou saw that they were arguing, so she could only look at Qin Yuan and asked, "Old General Qin, according to your wishes, who should be sent to the expedition?"

The Zhou and Qin families are getting closer now because Li Xiong has joined the Yinshan faction, which makes the two who know the power of the Xian family feel threatened, so they have to temporarily join forces to fight against the Qian family.Now that Qin Yuan's generals are not in Jinling, logically speaking, Qin Yuan has to sell favors to the Zhou family.What's more, although Li Xiaomin was recently cultivated by Empress Zhou, he is already considered to be in Zhou Tai's faction, and he is still the godbrother of Qin Yuan's granddaughter. If he gains military power, it will also benefit the Qin family.

Qin Yuan took a step forward, bowed and cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Since your mother asked about the old minister, I had no choice but to recommend a virtuous person instead of avoiding relatives: I recommend one person, the noble concubine of the dynasty Qin. He went out with the army when he was young, he has experienced many battles, and his strategy is better than that of the veteran. He is also proficient in martial arts, and he is not inferior to the general in the army. More than ten years ago, he personally fought the enemy in front of the veteran , killing the enemy will be under the horse. If she leads the army, she will definitely defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and wipe out the bandits!"

Officials from the two factions next to him were eagerly waiting for him to come out to speak, and they couldn't help being surprised that he would push his own daughter to fight.

Speaking of the style of female generals playing in battle, it has a long history in the Southern Tang Dynasty.The wife of Li Zhihao, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was also from a family of military generals. After she became a queen, she often presided over government affairs.There was once a general who refused to accept the rule of a woman and supported the army to rebel. At that time, Li Zhihao was sick and unable to go out. His queen actually led the army to go out in person, beheaded the head of the rebel general and came back. Li Zhihao was surprised and praised that Tao is a generation of heroines Enough to make men ashamed.Since then, the status of women in the Southern Tang Dynasty has been much higher. At least in the royal family, women are also highly valued. There have been several times in the past 300 years that the empress and concubines led the army to fight and wiped out the rebels.Compared with other countries, it is much different.

This time, it wasn't too shocking for Qin Yuan to recommend his daughter to play.Those generals were all excited. Although they did not have the qualifications and ability to lead troops to fight, it was a good thing to be able to recommend the noble concubines of their own faction to fight. The officials refused to accept it, and the three factions were arguing together, and it was almost impossible to hear who said what.

Empress Zhou frowned slightly, raised her jade hand lightly, and the eunuch who was waiting beside Feng's chariot understood, and said loudly: "Shut up! The Empress is here, don't disturb Fengjia!"

The officials gradually lowered their voices and returned to calm. They raised their eyes to Queen Zhou, waiting for her verdict.

Empress Zhou pondered slightly, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she should not be too partial to the little girl.

Section Reading 54

Minzi said calmly: "Since the old General Qin recommended it, I will order Concubine Qin to hang the seal and go to the expedition. General Li will be the deputy commander to lead the evil army and act as the vanguard."

Zhou Tai watched from the side, exchanged glances with Empress Zhou, and understood in his heart: Although the little people are outstanding in martial arts and immortals, they are still young and hard to convince the public. To Xiaominzi, it can be a strong aid.In particular, his attainments in immortal arts are very important to our side, and whether he can win military power is secondary.It's better to send Qin Yuan's daughter to lead the expedition, sell face to Qin Yuan, and the two families join forces to fight against the Qian family and the cultivators behind them.Seeing such a situation, Xiao Minzi couldn't help but be grateful to Queen Zhou for her kindness. Such an arrangement can be regarded as satisfactory.

Zhou Tai made up his mind, bowed upwards and cupped his hands, saying: "What the queen said is absolutely true, and I have no objection."

The officials of his faction, together with the military generals, proclaimed that the Queen's decision is fair and reasonable, and everyone was convinced.

Seeing this situation, Qian Song knew that the two would join forces, and he could not get it right for the time being, so he could only grit his teeth and endure, but with a smile on his face, he lowered his head to express that he was willing to obey the queen's arrangement.

In this way, Li Xiaomin became the deputy commander of the Southern Expedition to Suppress the Chaos Army. Although he did not get the position of commander, it was a surprise to be able to take up this position when he first entered the army.

Yongzhou City is heavily guarded.Tens of thousands of rebels guarded the entire city like an iron barrel, bent on blocking the imperial court's conquest army and waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Last month, the bandit leader Song Dajiang, who led his subordinates to occupy Panshan Lake, led a surprise attack and aggressively attacked Yongzhou City.The common people outside the city, who were oppressed by corrupt officials and cruel officials, rose up one after another, rebelled from the bandits, and attacked Yongzhou City together with the bandits.

The general guarding Yongzhou, although greedy and cruel, is a good fighter in war. His subordinate soldiers never hesitate to rob the people, and they refuse to show weakness in war. They fought with Song Dajiang, took advantage of the false attack, and killed Song Dajiang overnight. However, Lin Kui, his deputy general, led a reinforcement army to kill him. He hacked the Yongzhou defender to death on the spot, killed the defenders, and captured Yongzhou City.

After Song Dajiang died, all the leaders of his subordinates had no leader, and they competed with each other for the position of leader, with no intention of making progress.That's why the Tang court was given a chance to breathe, and sent an army to quell the thieves to quell the chaos.

Seeing the great enemy in front of them, the leaders dared not fight for power any more. They all enshrined Hong Sanniang, the widow of Song Dajiang, as the leader, known as the Dashun Dynasty, and worked together to prepare to resist the imperial army.

At this time, Hong Sanniang was recruiting soldiers and horses in the south, and was leading an army to Yongzhou.Yongzhou City is currently occupied by the bandit leader Lin Kui, and most of the [-] soldiers under him are refugees who have just gathered. After entering the city, let alone grab his mother first.The wealthy households in the city were all robbed, and their wives and daughters were dragged to work as military prostitutes. The men were naturally beheaded, lest they think of any grand schemes of revenge.

The refugees who were new to the army, seeing the veterans robbing them happily, couldn't help being greedy, so they went to rob all the families with a little wealth in Yongzhou City, and naturally reaped a lot of benefits, but let those robbed families die. Those who died, those who fled, and the women were all arrested, raped and then sold, so that the new refugees who joined the army also made a lot of money.

On the streets in the city, corpses were piled up everywhere, and Lin Kui thought it looked ugly, and he was afraid that there would be a plague, so he ordered people to take them outside the city to bury them.The buried soldiers didn't bother to do anything, just dug a mass grave, filled the corpses inside, covered it with some soil, and it was over.

After this catastrophe, Yongzhou City was in a bleak scene.The people outside the city came to Yongzhou one after another, just because they were forced to live by corrupt officials in their hometown. If they came to join the bandits, they would still have a full meal.Although the Dashun Army robbed the civilians, they did not rob the poor, because the poor could not get anything even if they robbed them.So those poor people rushed to join the army, and then they could justifiably rob the rich.

Yongzhou City was heavily guarded, tense for several days, finally got the news that the imperial court army was led by the daughter of general Qin Yuan, the current imperial concubine Qin, more than [-] people were mobilized from various places to march towards Yongzhou.

And Concubine Qin herself led a total of 5 elite troops from Jinling to Yongzhou.As long as the soldiers and horses dispatched by the states to beg for thieves are gathered, the attack will be launched.

Hearing this news, a heated debate broke out within the Dashun Army in Yongzhou City.
