Fast-wearing Inner Demon

Time flies and seven years have passed, Lu Xu has changed from a young boy to a stable man with a beard, and He Jinfan has changed from a childish little Douding to a handsome girl who is so handsome every time he leaves the palace. Car lad.

However, the two of them are still tired of sleeping in the same bed every day, and He Jinfan still loves Lu Xu wherever he goes, and everything he says and behaves is a replica of Lu Xu when he was young, from the posture of walking, drinking tea and carrying chopsticks, to writing. His characters are the same as those of Lu Xu.

However, when the war broke out, the old king Jue Guli passed away, and the eldest prince, who was a compatriot with the little prince and his mother, succeeded to the throne. The first thing after succeeding to the throne was to send troops to the Western Regions to avenge his younger brother.

It just so happened that the Xiongnu were keen on the rumor that the king of Hetao was rich as an enemy country, and the two sides gathered together an army of 30 to move towards Wuyun City. They have already broken ten cities in a row and killed more than [-] people.

You must know that in a place with a scattered population like the Western Regions, 8 people is really not a small number. It is equivalent to the slaughter of the ten small cities near the border.

You Xuejin, the governor of the Western Regions, hurriedly reported to the imperial court to ask for reinforcements. Back then, the late emperor sent millions of troops to fight the Huns, but the Xiongnu had 20 soldiers and horses, and Xianguang returned home with their halberds.

Now that the two sides have combined 30 warriors, You Xuejin feels that he is the reincarnation of the former emperor, and he doesn't have the ability to defend the dark clouds with only [-] troops in the Western Regions.

The Emperor Qia has been absurd for many years, the government has been confused and credible, and the people who are really talented and learned are depressed. Wars broke out everywhere, the Miao people rebelled, Japanese pirates invaded the coast, and even bandit leaders in southern Hunan, Hubei, proclaimed themselves kings and gathered people to rebel.

You Xuejin's battle report was sent up, even if his father-in-law was the Secretary of the Ministry of War, he could only treat this son-in-law as an abandoned son for the sake of the overall situation. Anyway, the Western Regions were getting less and less under control, and only ten thousand were sent every year. The taels of silver are not worth the income of a rich county, but the imperial court has to allocate a large amount of food and grass every year to supplement the [-] garrisons there.

In the end, the imperial court only sent 30 troops for reinforcements, but they did not allow the 30 troops to enter the Western Regions. They only lined up on the Northwest Great Wall outside the Western Regions, in order to prevent the 30 troops of the Huns and Jueguli from eating the Western Regions. Continuing to invade the inland, that's really bad, it's tantamount to handing over the Western Regions directly.

You Xuejin's father-in-law directly wrote to You Xuejin and asked You Xuejin to send his wife and Xiruan back to Beijing first, and told him to expedite it himself, and he would try his best to save his life so that no one else's head would fall.

Many Yeren nobles and wealthy businessmen took refuge in the 30 troops of Jue Guli and the Huns, all of whom were miserable wretches who had been punished by Lu Xu in the past few years.

These people led a team to inform, and helped Jue Guli and the Huns to rob the grain, grass and weapons sent by the imperial court as a comfort, as well as the outbound caravan escorted by the entourage who attacked Lu Xu.

After receiving the letter, You Xue went to find Lu Xu, the prince. At that time, Lu Xu was practicing the [-] soldiers and horses of the Dudu Mansion and the [-] guards won by himself and the crown.

It's not as exhausting as the [-] soldiers of the Governor's Mansion eight years ago. Under Lu Xu's survival of the fittest and iron-blooded wrists, even the [-] guards are all capable and brave. Under Lu Xu's command, they line up and change The team is like flowing water.

Among them, many tall and strong Yeren joined in, which was also the result of Lu Xu gradually gaining the trust of Yeren and being eclectic.

You Xuejin didn't dare to disturb Hetao King's practice, and stood outside the martial arts arena under the sun for two full hours, Fang waited until Lu Xu finished the practice before he dared to go up to him and ask him for advice.

He came from a poor background and got a martial arts champion and was outstanding in appearance, so he was favored by a lady from the Minister of the Ministry of War and made his way to the top. He was so lucky that he even picked up a title.

How can such a person be willing to wait for such a person to be imprisoned or even die if you ask him to transfer the property he has dirty for many years to the Yue family?

Naturally, he has to struggle for a while, maybe the prince can be as brave as he was back then?Although I know that no matter how brave and demeanor the former emperor is, even if the former emperor is reincarnated to guard against the dark clouds and resist the 30 incoming enemies, I am afraid that he may not be able to do it without a million soldiers, and there is still luck.

As Lu Xu is the king of Hetao, the Western Regions are his fief, but he has no duty to guard the Western Regions. Even if the dark clouds are broken and the Western Regions are captured, as a prince, as long as he does not die, he will be scolded at most when he returns to the capital. , maybe you can get a new fief.

You Xuejin asked him about his strategy, and Lu Xu asked the nephew of a young general who was following him: "What do you think should be done?"

He Jinfan smiled slightly, and replied with his hands behind his back as if he had asked a stupid question: "Shoot it! Just hack it to death and forget it."

Lu Xu patted the little nephew on the shoulder, said well, then took the little nephew's hand and left him downstream to go back to the palace for lunch.

Doesn't he know to fight?But how to fight?How can you beat it!You Xuejin was speechless and hurriedly chased after his uncle and nephew.

Although Lu Xu has accumulated a huge amount of wealth in the past few years, he still eats four dishes and one soup in the palace.

He sat side by side with He Jinfan, and when he came to the table, he picked all the essence of the meat dishes from the four dishes to He Jinfan's plate first according to the old rules.

Seeing his little nephew gnaw on the chicken leg, Lu Xu picked up the steamed bun and picked up the chopsticks to eat the chicken rib. After sitting down, You Xuejin, who was hesitant to talk, only dared to grab the chicken butt that both of them hated.

He Jinfan ate one and a half chicken legs and felt tired, so he picked the remaining half into Lu Xu's bowl to eat chicken wings instead. He only likes the tenderest and smoothest chicken wings when he eats chicken wings, and throws the rest in the In Lu Xu's bowl.

Over the years, Lu Xu has been worn down by him so much that he regards it as normal. He doesn't care about You Xuejin's wide-eyed eyes. He picks it up and eats it very naturally. He also tells You Xuejin the virtue of frugality.

He Jinfan picked up two chopsticks for the remaining greens and stopped. He put the greasy leftovers into Lu Xu's bowl, picked up the tea bowl and drank the warm milk with honey. Lu Xu continued to take it without changing his face, but instead Eat with relish.

After finally waiting for the two of them to finish their meal, You Xuejin saw that the foster father and son were going to take a nap holding hands again, and immediately became anxious. He didn't care about the accusations that they were too close, they didn't look like righteous father and son, but like Qi brothers .

He hurriedly stood in front of these two people, begging in a low voice: "The prince has a plan, please let me know one or two, so that I can put my heart in my stomach and cooperate with you."

"Tomorrow, we will set off for Devil City. We will lay an ambush there, and you don't need your cooperation. Mr. Wang has already completed the deployment. You can just look after the city defense in Wuyun City."

Lu Xu became impatient. It's easy to get sleepy in hot weather. There will be no such thing as a nap after the army is dispatched tomorrow. He still needs to recharge his energy. Why can't You Xuejin be his decoration honestly?

His little nephew started yawning without seeing him, and he was very busy rushing to fan his little nephew.

Devil City, it is said to be a city but it is not a city, but a special sand nest in the Western Regions, which is full of high sand mountains, criss-crossing and chaotic, and the surface of the solidified sand is full of flowing water patterns. It is difficult to distinguish things inside, and the inside is as huge as a city, and it is often impossible to get out after entering, so it is said that the devil's city.

After talking about King Hetao, You Xuejin didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he was very curious, how did Lu Xu know that Jue Guli and the Xiongnu would enter the Devil City?The troops that have ever invaded the Western Regions always go around that area!

Why so sure?Naturally, it has its own universe inside, watching the sky at night, supplemented by manpower.

The long team of horses walked in the desert, winding and circling without seeing the tail, and there was a caravan in the middle, with the black wolf flag of the bone strength and the red death sickle flag of the Huns, all the way, and the ants retreated.

The Xiongnu King took a sip from the water bag, and asked Gu Li, the nobleman who led the way, "How long will it take to reach the next city!"

According to their attack route, they shouldn't be in this desert. If it wasn't for Gu Li and the night people who persuaded him to rob and kill the caravan of the so-called King of Hetao, they should have walked on the grassland at this time. .

However, that robbery was also very fruitful, with 10 taels of silver, and a large number of silk, satin, porcelain, tea, and hundreds of carriages. A team has been sent back to the Xiongnu in advance. It can be seen that the saying that the king of Hetao is rich as an enemy is not a rumor. This time Sending troops can definitely make a lot of money.

Gu Li was a skinny old man, dressed in a white robe and a small hat with a bald forehead, he trembled three times when he was asked, and then replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you may continue to walk westward for another three minutes." You will be able to reach Dunhua City in one day, Dunhua City is a transit city between the Western Regions and the mainland, and the wealth in the city is extremely rich, and you will never disappoint the king!"

The Hun King snorted coldly, waved his whip and drove the horse away, and the King Jue Gu Li Xin and the soldiers behind hurriedly speeded up their horsepower to keep up.

Half a day later, a wind blew up in the desert, and the shaman of the Xiongnu rode up to catch up with the king of the Huns, saying: "The wind and sand are flowing too fast, and the sky is burning with red clouds. It should be that a sandstorm is coming. Your Majesty needs to lead a team to find someone." Stop somewhere sheltered from the wind!"

The King of the Huns cursed angrily, and asked his followers to bring Guli up, and asked, "Where can I take shelter from the wind! There is a sandstorm!"

Gu Li frowned, thought for a moment and said timidly: "Ten miles to the north, there is a sandy place where you can shelter from the wind, that is, that place is called Devil City, and it is difficult to tell the direction after entering."

The Xiongnu King said indifferently: "I have a shaman, the shaman can communicate with the gods, and the geography can be learned from the shaman, what are you afraid of?"

However, the shaman military adviser said: "Your Majesty, it is not good for the Devil City. Is there any other place to shelter from the wind?"

Gu Li shook his head, only thinking that there was only one place nearby to escape the sandstorm, and there was no other place.

However, the shaman army division still insisted not to enter the Devil City, and even said that there might be an ambush in the Devil City, and the god told him that the Devil City was a dangerous place.

After all, the King of the Huns was still in awe of the shaman's military adviser, and decided to take another walk to see if there was any other shelter from the wind. He whipped Gu Li with a whip, and continued to beat his horse and walked westward in a straight line for an hour and a half.

The wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, the sky is filled with gravel, people are shaking their horses, and they can't see anything. I am afraid that the horse team will get separated if they continue to walk, and they are more likely to be buried by the sandstorm.

The King of the Huns discussed with the new king of Jueguli, and despite the obstruction of the shaman army division, he let Gu Li lead the way to the direction of the Devil City, but he was extremely careful, and ordered the army to attack in batches after reaching the sandy nest. , held up the saber, and stopped the horse and sent spies to check if there was anything wrong.

But the wind was rumbling, and nothing was found. Except for the whimpering wind echoing in the valley like an elegy, there was not even a ghost. That is to say, the army was ordered to set up camp.

There was a fire and barbecue, while the Huns and Jueguli drank wine, watched the stars in the sky and sang old songs from their hometown, and it was very lively for a while.

King Xiongnu and King Juegulixin dragged a few girls they had snatched from the road, and entered the tent to commit violence.
