This was Qi Yue's first year in the army. Mrs. Qi asked someone to bring her new clothes. Qi Yue wrote a letter from his family to tell his mother about his recent situation, and said hello to Song Cheng by the way.

Although Qi Yue lost his father since he was a child, Mrs. Qi hardly made Qi Yue suffer a little. Qi Yue has grown up for 18 years. It was so bad that all the brothers in the army were drinking and having fun, but Qi Yue ran to sit on the school field alone.At this time in previous years, it was time for him to look for Chengzi, Chengzi should have drunk some wine this year, his cheeks were flushed, and his speech was soft.

Qi Yue took out the dagger that Song Cheng had given him. The dagger was so cold because it was worn next to Qi Yue's body, so it was still warm. Qi Yue leaned the dagger against his cheek to warm himself.

There is no bright moon in the sky, but there is lovesickness on the ground, so is Song Cheng.

Song Cheng read to Miss Qi the family letter brought by Mrs. Qi.Qi Yue was still the same as before, when it came to defending the ring, he wished he could describe his heroism with all the books he had read in the past ten years.

When Song Cheng read the letter to Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi also laughed. When she heard Qi Yue say that she is now Pan Shuai's personal soldier, there were tears in her eyes.

Song Cheng read the family letter to Mrs. Qi, the more he read it, the more he felt that Qi Yue definitely hadn't said anything to himself, and his heart sank. He didn't expect that when Qi Yue finally finished writing, he said: "Cheng, the branches are covered with snow, I'm thinking too much."

Song Cheng's ears turned red suddenly, and Lady Qi was still sitting by the side. Song Cheng took a peek at Lady Qi, and found that Lady Qi didn't notice anything, so he pretended nothing, put the family letter back in the envelope, and handed it over to her. He gave it to Lady Qi and said, "That's what Qi Yue said."

Lady Qi held the envelope in her hand and smiled with tears in her eyes: "This child, why did you just say so much, I will trouble you today."

Song Cheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Whatever Auntie said, it's more common sense."

"This year's Chinese New Year is just the two of us, Cheng Zi, how about you come over and watch the New Year together? I'll cook a few more dishes, and we will have a good New Year." Mrs. Qi took Song Cheng's hand and patted it lovingly Song Cheng hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay."

During the Chinese New Year this year, Qi Yue was not around, and Lady Qi and Song Cheng ate dumplings around the table.The ancients didn't have much entertainment, so Mrs. Qi brought out the embarrassing things about Qi Yue's childhood to relieve the boredom of the two of them.Song Cheng sat on the side and listened to Mrs. Qi talking, sometimes interjecting a word, and Song Cheng didn't go back until late at night.

Mrs. Qi sent Song Cheng out, Song Cheng smiled and said, "Auntie, go back, it's cold outside, be careful of catching cold." Mrs. Qi responded and watched Song Cheng arrive at the door before returning.

Song Cheng had just pushed open the door of the library when he remembered that Qi Yue was here last year, with his head covered on his shoulders, talking to him.Song Cheng touched the shoulder that Qi Yue had leaned on, and smiled with his head down.

Song Cheng went back and lit the candle on the table. It was Shang Yi who said that reading at night hurt his eyes, so he dumped a box for himself before leaving.

Candles were really valuable things in ancient times. Although Song Cheng could afford to use them, he was reluctant to part with the money. Now someone gave them to him, and Song Cheng was happy to use them. Now they are very brightly lit at night.

Qi Yue found the letter paper, studied the ink and picked up the pen, recalling Qi Yue's family letter, and wrote it down silently.He and Qi Yue have been together for nearly eight years, and they are very familiar with each other's handwriting. Song Cheng imitates Qi Yue's characters, and sometimes even Qi Yue himself can't tell them apart.

The candlelight was flickering, Song Cheng's subordinate Qi Yue's handwriting came alive, and within a moment it was another letter from home.When Song Cheng wrote the last few words, he wrote them twice.

The branches are full of snow, and I think about it very much.

Song Cheng chewed it several times, dried the written letter, put it in an envelope and put it away.He didn't put out the candle either, and went straight to sleep.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, when Qi Yue just woke up, Ye Suinan summoned them all. Qi Yue packed them up quickly. Seeing that the others hadn't come yet, he secretly asked Ye Suinan, "Uncle Ye, why is it so early today?"

Ye Suinan kicked Qi Yue and said: "The belt is tidied up, there is a message from the imperial court that the war is about to start."

As soon as Qi Yue heard that there was going to be a war, he immediately frightened the doze off early in the morning. He approached Ye Suinan and asked in a low voice, "When?"

"Marshal is going to Beijing in a few days, at most 20 days, prepare well." Ye Suinan said, the two of them just said a few words, everyone packed up, and Ye Suinan took all the guards to see Pan Shuai .

Pan Mei received an order from the capital, Song Dynasty is going to attack Liao Dynasty!

Pan Mei mobilized quickly after receiving the order, and the army was immediately integrated into a state of preparation for war. All the elite generals in the Song army moved closer to Bianjing, waiting for Taizong's order, and actively went north to attack the Liao Kingdom.

Before the army set off, Pan Mei was called back to the capital by Emperor Taizong, and held a small pre-war meeting with Cao Bin, Mi Xin, the coach of the East Army, Tian Zhongjin, the coach of the Central Army, and others.Taizong Zhao Guangyi issued the highest order for this campaign to his marshals, which was a large-scale coordinated operation of the legions.

When Pan Mei returned to the barracks from Bianjing, the entire barracks was already in a state of preparation. As long as he gave an order, his tens of thousands of troops could immediately attack the border of the Liao people.

"Suinan, call all the soldiers and horses to gather in the school grounds and order troops." Pan Mei, wearing armor, ordered to Ye Suinan.

Ye Suinan received the order: "Yes!"

Ye Suinan opened the curtain and went out. Only Qi Yue and Pan Mei were left in the tent. Qi Yue looked at Pan Mei nervously, with a fiery gleam in his eyes.Pan Mei had seen this kind of light too many times, and every soldier who went to war had this kind of light flashing in their eyes, they were eager to fight on the battlefield.

"Qi Yue, follow my commander in this battle, listen to my orders!" Pan Mei said.

The personal soldiers are the closest companions of the commander on the battlefield. This is Qi Yue's responsibility and obligation. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"

After Ye Suinan went out for a while, the war drums on the school grounds sounded, and the generals of the various ministries rushed to command the camp. Only then did Pan Mei reveal the plan for this battle: "According to His Majesty's order, the Northern Expeditionary Army is divided into three groups, and the East The army was divided into two groups by Marshal Cao and Marshal Mi to deter the main force of the Liao army and stationed in Yeluxiu's department in Youzhou. Marshal Tian led the Central Route Army to go north from Dingzhou and attack Liao through Feihu Path. We are the West Route Army. After the deputy commanders meet up, they will go out of Yanmen Pass and attack the Kyushu behind Yanyun Mountain of the Liao Army. After we capture Yunzhou, we will join the Central Route Army in the north of Youzhou, and then the three routes will join forces and besiege Yeluxiu's troops!"

"Yes!" As soon as Pan Mei said this, all the generals under the tent responded with fighting spirit.

"Depart in a quarter of an hour!" Pan Mei ordered.

"Yes!" The generals clasped their fists and went to the school grounds to join their subordinates, waiting to follow the commander into battle.

This is the first time Qi Yue puts on the battle armor and goes out to battle. He goes all the way north away from Bianjing, and goes out of Yanmen with the soldiers, and sets foot on the border of the Liao people.On the way, Yang Ye led his troops to join forces with Pan Mei. So far, the West Route Army joined forces and attacked Liaohuanzhou with great momentum.

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun refer to a large area such as Beijing and Tianjin today. The Yun, Confucianism, Gui, Wu, Xin, Wei, Ying, Huan, and Shuo prefectures in the northwest of the Taihang Mountains are the nine prefectures behind the mountain, and the southeast of the northern branch of the Taihang Mountains. The seven states of You, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan, and Shun are the seven states in front of the mountain.

The front of the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Yeluxiu, the number one soldier of the Liao Kingdom, is guarding it. A strong attack will inevitably cause heavy losses and the outcome is unpredictable.Therefore, Song Taizong wanted to use Cao Bin to lead the main force to deter Yeluxiu, so that he would never dare to give up Youzhou, an important town in the north of Liao Kingdom, to rescue the marginal areas.Then Pan Mei's West Route Army and Tian Zhongjin's Middle Route Army captured the Kyushu and isolated Youzhou after the mountain. At that time, the three soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty gathered under the city of Youzhou to surround and wipe out Brother Yeluxiu, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were in their pocket.

Yang Ye met Pan Mei before she reached Yanmen Pass.Yang Ye is already in his 50s.He took his son Yang Yanyu into the tent. The 50-year-old general is at the peak of his knowledge and strength, and he does not look old and decadent at all.After his death, his son Yang Yanyu was suave and heroic.

"Subordinate Yang Ye led his troops to join the army!" Yang Ye raised his robe and knelt on one knee to report to the coach Pan Meihui. Pan Mei was overjoyed to see Yang Ye coming, and he hurried forward to help Yang Ye and his son up and said: "Just in time!"

Pan Mei turned around and pointed to Yang Ye and said to the two military supervisors, "This is Mr. Wang Yu, Mr. Liu Wenyu, Mr. Liu."

Yang Ye went up to see the two supervising soldiers, Wang Dian and Liu Wenyu greeted Yang and his son with smiles.

Qi Yue followed closely behind Pan Mei, and he saw Yang Ye's eyes at a glance.This man is called the Invincible General. It is rumored that he is invincible in all battles. Qi Yue subconsciously wanted to take a good look at what this Invincible General looked like. His eyes were sharp and there was a smile on his face. Pan Mei, her old partner for many years, was very happy.

"Pan Shuai, is this young man your bodyguard?" Yang Ye suddenly asked, and when Qi Yue was asked suddenly, he immediately stood up straight, and the muscles in his whole body seemed to be tense.Pan Mei turned around and glanced at Qi Yue and said with a smile, "The new one is called Qi Yue."

Yang Ye looked at Qi Yue and nodded, "Young man, you are very energetic. Ting Yu, come and meet me."

Yang Tingyu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother Qi."

How dare Qi Yue accept Yang Yanyu's gift, he hastily cupped his hands and said, "Young General."

Pan Mei pointed to Qi Yue and said: "Young juniors are also so talkative, it's very boring, let's go in and talk." Yang Ye smiled and followed behind Pan Mei.Yang Tingyu pushed Qi Yue and said, "Go, go in."

Qi Yue turned around and saw that the two supervisors had already entered, he and Yang Yanyu hurried in.After Pan Yang joins the army, he will go straight out of Yanmen and attack Huanzhou.Qi Yue stood by and listened to the strategies of the two coaches, and felt that they coincided with the military books he had read in the past few years, but the two had experienced many battles and were more flexible and skilled in tactics. can do it.

Qi Yue secretly kept the words of the two of them in his heart, pondered them carefully, and integrated them with what he had learned.

Yang Yanyu was used to seeing his father and Pan Shuai like this, but he was not as serious as Qi Yue. He glanced at the two supervisors standing beside the commander, and frowned immediately.He pushed Qi Yue secretly and said, "How about the two supervisors?"

Yang Yanyu, a young tiger general, naturally asked if he wanted to. Qi Yue had nothing to hide. He shook his head lightly, but did not speak. When Yang Yanyu saw Qi Yue's action, he immediately understood what kind of fellow these two supervisors were. , he snorted softly, did not speak again, and stood obediently aside with Qi Yue.
