[Jian Wang III] Prosperous Tang Dynasty

The siege of Taiyuan lasted for half a year.

The surrounding villages and towns were seized back and forth. The Spike Army had just occupied it in the morning, and the imperial court snatched it back in the evening.

The area from Jinci to Xinghua Village has been completely occupied and has become the food supply point of the Spike Army, while the Dongshan mine and forest farm are firmly controlled by the Taiyuan defenders, and the raw materials for weapons and armaments are produced here.

Reinforcements from Huihe had been borrowed, and when Shi Chaoyi sent his troops to try to break through the northern defense line and attack Lingwu directly, Shi Chaoyi retreated bitterly and turned to Taiyuan after the two sides fought for several days.

However, the battle between Suiyang and Yuanyuan was even more stalemate than Taiyuan. The two sides saw each other endlessly, and the sects of Jianghu spared no effort to support them, which made Suiyang and Yuanyuan firmly defend the city with a serious shortage of troops.

The end of the year is approaching, and it is snowing heavily.

The environment of the harsh winter and gale was too harsh, and the flames of war temporarily stopped under the sweeping of heavy snow.

The shortage of food and grass for the Wolf Fang Army became more and more serious. During the truce, they began to collect food to prepare for the next year's war.

This day is a rare good weather. The soft snow that had been drifting for half a month has stopped, and the sky has cleared up a little, but the temperature has not risen.

When Su Jixian returned home from the military command center, Chen Yue walked over when he just walked to the inner courtyard.

She was wearing a thick mink fur, and the deerskin boots were also rolled with a circle of fine down. The hood was buttoned on her head, and her small face was extraordinarily delicate in the soft down.

"Yue'er." Su Jixian glanced at the medical box on Yinwei's back behind her, "Going out?"

"Well, many people in the army have frostbite, I'll go and have a look." Chen Yue ran over to grab his wrist with small steps, and put her fingers on his veins.

Su Jixian smiled, "Be careful."

"It's natural." Chen Yue withdrew her hand, her eyebrows stretched, and when she turned her eyes, she suddenly saw Mo Yu and Mu Xuanying on the other side of the yard. They seemed to be arguing about something, "Did brother Yu and Mao Mao quarrel?"

He also looked over, and could vaguely hear the voices of the two of them, but not clearly, "It seems to be."

In the eyes of the two, Mu Xuanying grabbed Mo Yu's collar, and Mo Yu raised his hand to pat Mu Xuanying's back.

Chen Yue was about to run over to persuade the fight, when suddenly there was a wind blowing in her ears, she only felt that her eyes went dark, and her eyes were covered by something.

Su Jixian put his arms around her head, blocking her eyes, and he also looked away from the two people who changed from arguing in public to kissing, and took Chen Yue's head outside.

"Eh? Brother, Brother Yu and Mao Mao are going to fight!"

"I can't fight." Is there anything between the two of them that can't be resolved in bed?The old god Su Jixian was there, "Did you see that I hit you?"

"No."

"So Xiaoyu won't really hit her, don't worry." Su Jixian took Chen Yue to the gate and sent her to the carriage, "Be careful on the road, come back early."

Chen Yue nodded and got into the carriage, and the coachman drove the horses to the barracks.

When Su Jixian turned back to the inner courtyard, Mo Yu and Su Jixian were no longer there, so he didn't care, and went back to his room.

Lu Lingfeng was not there, and there were only two snow-white fluffy balls playing with balls on the bed. The fiery red hydrangea was a circle bigger than both of them, and it didn't look like they were playing with balls, but balls were playing with them.

Seeing Su Jixian came back, they stopped playing ball, flicked their tails and waited for him to take off his cloak and coat and sit on the bed, and then they clung to them obediently.

Holding the little fox in his arms, Su Jixian felt a little tired, leaning against the head of the bed to smooth its fur.

He stroked the soft and warm fur of the fox, thinking blankly about the picture of the previous life he saw when he was unconscious.

As long as he is free these days, he will think about his body that has been painstakingly preserved, and his persistent refusal to believe his dead mother.

He thought, if he died here, would he be able to return to her?

He wasn't sure, but this idea was like a grass seed planted in his heart, which slowly germinated, and unknowingly, it grew and spread thousands of miles away.

Gently closing his eyes, he felt a little stuffy, and suddenly he was embraced into a warm chest, and the warm aroma rushed to his face.

The fragrance is not too strong, but it is rich and mysterious. It diffuses in the air with moist water vapor, like an unknown flower quietly blooming in the full moon night of the White Sand Desert, extremely gorgeous and attractive.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Lingfeng hugged him, the corners of her lips curled up, her eyes were bright, gentle and charming.

Su Jixian moved into the bed, let him sit on the bed, and the white cat Qiuqiu climbed onto his lap stepping on the quilt, "Well...it's nothing."

Lu Lingfeng blinked, her wet eyelashes flickered, and without asking any further questions, she patted Qiuqiu's head and then squeezed Su Jixian's shoulders, "Jixian, when I came back just now, I saw the Spike Army attacking the city."

Su Jixian raised his eyebrows, "Siege the city?"

"Well, it happened to be the right time to change defenses. If General Li Guangbi hadn't happened to go to inspect the city wall, I'm afraid that even if he defended Taiyuan City this time, his vitality would be seriously injured."

Su Jixian sighed, raised his hand to press on the back of Lu Lingfeng's hand, and gently held his slender fingers, "Go to sleep first, I didn't see you close your eyes all day yesterday."

For the past few days, he has been busy with the Beggar Gang to attack Xinghua Village, which was occupied by the Red Clothes Sect. Although he took a bath when he came back today, the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood on his body could not be washed away even by water.

Lu Lingfeng smiled, and the corners of his eyes were flushed, the redness seemed to be dyed from the corners of the eyes straight to the eyes, and the faint blood color faded away. He hugged Su Jixian and lay down on the bed, and put the two balls of hair beside the pillow, He closed his eyes, "But I can't sleep, can Ji Xian tell me a story?"

tell a story?Su Jixian was taken aback for a moment, turned over in his arms and lay on his side facing him, "What do you want to hear?"

"It will be all right."

Su Jixian stared deeply at his bewitchingly handsome face, gently caressed his face with his cold hands, and brushed his silver temples with his fingertips, "Then I'll just talk about it..."

"Once upon a time there was a prince. His mother was originally a court lady who washed clothes for concubines. When she was waiting to be released from the palace to marry when she was old, she was favored by the emperor, and then the prince was born.

"The court lady was conferred a small concubine, and she never saw the emperor again. The prince and his mother and concubine lived peacefully in the palace like transparent people."

Su Jixian narrated slowly, and closed his eyes, "But then, the emperor suddenly fell ill, and there was no crown prince at this time, and the grown-up princes began to seize the throne, the harem became more dangerous, and the little prince who had been forgotten for many years The concubine was also dragged into the water."

"It was a rainy day, and the prince was punished by the master he picked up by accident to be locked in a small black room, and had acupuncture points performed, and he knelt facing the wall in the secret room. Then his master left, and a strange eunuch came."

He paused, his breathing stopped, and he continued after a while, "Then the concubine in the palace was drugged, and was moved to the inner room by the eunuch, and put together with the eldest prince who was also drugged .”

"There is only one wall between the inner room and the secret room facing the prince. He can't move in the secret room. Listening to his mother and concubine, she committed suicide in order not to be raped."

"Then, the empress came, and the eldest prince was sentenced and imprisoned in the mansion. No one thought of the concubine who was treated as a chess piece, and her child. He was eight years old that year."

Lu Lingfeng opened her eyes at some point, and held Su Jixian's hand, interlocking her fingers.

"He lived in that dark secret room like a ghost. The battle for the succession became more and more fierce. In the end, he died and was demoted. When the third child was about to win, he was killed by the cooperating boss. Four killed, and the fourth child disappeared for more than half a month after killing the third child, and when he was found, he had already died on a bed in a aunt's house."

Su Jixian suddenly laughed softly, a little cold, he didn't say how the fourth child died, but Lu Lingfeng felt that he had already heard it.

"The only thing left in the entire royal family is the little prince who looks like a transparent person, so in the summer when he was 15 years old, the imperial guards of the imperial city took him as their master, and he became the prince."

During the seven years from the age of eight to 15, Su Jixian didn't say anything about what the little prince experienced and planned, and his tone was almost indifferent.

"When he became the prince, the border was in chaos. He led troops to fight, but he didn't expect that this fight would last for ten years, and all the countries would start to fight."

"The prince has firmly guarded his country, and even expanded its territory, so some people said that if the country is to be destroyed, the prince must be killed first. His father, under the instigation of someone with a heart, called him back to the capital, and on the way Ambushing soldiers from the Seven Kingdoms."

Su Jixian sighed for a long time, as if he was tired of speaking, and his voice became hoarse, "The prince didn't expect his father to want to kill him, he thought that the capital was surrounded by enemy troops, and brought him The direct line army rushed back to the capital... 30 troops, 20 were left when they arrived in the capital, and only [-] were left when they left the capital."

"The crown prince brought 9 people with him, and the seven kingdoms chased after him a total of 80. They chased and killed them endlessly, and even increased their troops."

He snorted lightly mockingly, "Use all of our forces to deal with a prince who has only 9 troops and can't return to the country. They really think highly of him...but the prince never gave up. He used the remaining 80 horses, He went to hide in various big countries, used tricks to riot the imperial court, and disintegrated the coalition forces bit by bit. Later, there were only twelve people around him, and the coalition forces changed from [-] to [-]."

"The prince lured the enemy into an old forest in a deep mountain, and the remaining twelve people died one by one in front of him, and the last 5 people of the coalition army were also killed by the prince in the old forest. He stayed there forever. That year, the prince was 31 years old. After his death, those countries were unable to raise their troops again, and his country became the only one among the eight great countries that perished."

Lu Lingfeng was silent for a long time, then kissed his forehead, "This story...is just a story, right?"

Su Jixian was also silent, and only smiled softly after a long time, "Yes, it's just a story. Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

"The story is too serious, I can't sleep." Lu Lingfeng pressed him into her arms, resting her chin on the top of his head, "It's a courtesy, let me tell you a story too."

"it is good."

"There is a small oasis in the desert, and there is a family in the oasis. Although they are poor, they live happily.

"The youngest son of that family is not in good health, maybe his twin sister was too domineering when he was in the womb, so he is much weaker than his sister."

"One year, the rainy season did not come, and the water in the oasis became less and less. When the child's father was going to look for water in the distance, the horse thief came."

"The village was slaughtered by horse thieves. The young woman and the child were taken away. The child was hidden in his grandmother's arms. Because he was too thin, he escaped the horse thieves."

Lu Lingfeng spoke slowly, where Su Jixian couldn't see, the redness at the corners of his eyes became more and more gorgeous like blood, "After everything quieted down, the child came out of his long-dead grandma's arms and picked up on the ground. He picked up the blood-stained cake and ran towards the horse thief."

"He chased him for six days. During these six days, after he ate the cakes, he ate the meat of the sand fox and drank the blood of the sand fox. When he ran to the horse thief camp, his brother had already been eaten. .”

Su Jixian was taken aback.

"Those horse thieves would roast people and eat them. The kid watched his elder brother being killed and shared, and his older sister was locked in a cage and became a food reserve."

"Then he lurked in the horse thief camp. He had been ill for too long, and he knew which of the humble grasses were edible and which were poisonous. It took him three days to figure out the patrol rules of the horse thief camp, attract hyenas, and Poisoned the water."

"The poison is not fatal, it only paralyzes the whole body. So that night, the horse thieves who were thirsty after expelling the hyenas all died at the hands of the six-year-old child, a total of [-] people."

Lu Lingfeng took a deep breath, and changed her tone into a slightly more relaxed tone, "That child fell into a coma after killing the horse thief, and was rescued after waking up. Later, he met a very good child and lived with him ever since. , had a great time."

Su Jixian hugged him tightly, raised her head and kissed his chin, "Just be happy."

"Well, very happy."

"Lingfeng...I want to lead troops."

"I will follow you?"

"No, you have your own affairs." Su Jixian touched his face that had become much thinner, feeling a little distressed, "Don't worry, I will come back safely."

In the past, he failed to quell the war. In this life, he wanted to watch the flames of war that stretched thousands of miles go out in his hands.

The author has something to say: make up the number of words in this chapter, and explain a little bit about the childhood of Lu Lingfeng and Lu Zhi, as well as the reason why Su Jixian is a genius who uses soldiers like a god.The overall plot of this article is not very abusive or ups and downs, it can even be said to be relatively flat, because the most magnificent and bleakest time in Su Jixian's life was in the first life, and I don't intend to write about his first life(? _?) I hate writing long texts.

The next chapter begins with the final battle of the Anshi Rebellion.It hurts my heart to lose my collection again, but as long as there is still one person reading it, I will insist on finishing it.
