Chang'an Youth Tour

The last battle between Xirong and Dazhou was in the first month of the new year.

It was possible to fight or not to fight, but Xirong intercepted a letter from Da Zhou, which was written to the Mulun tribe in the Western Regions, inciting them to attack Xirong's rear, and it seemed to be just one of many letters.Xirong is attacking with the power of the whole country. Although there are tribes staying behind in the pastures, the elite soldiers have been transferred away, and the rest are women, children and old people. A large grassland, and then there is a desert.After walking for almost two years, the countries in the Western Regions in the distance can't help but feel worried.Even if it doesn't last long, it's still profitable to rob for a while.

If Xirong's rear was looted and massacred, it goes without saying how furious they would be, and they would definitely come back immediately. At this time, Da Zhou could even take advantage of the victory and pursue an attack that had never been fought since the beginning of the war.

It's just too vicious. Although it's not considered murdering women and children, it was also caused by Da Zhou after all.Even if the two countries are at war, such an act will arouse deep-seated hatred.

When Rong Hao heard about this letter, he knew it was written by Yun Lan.

She is a legal student who has learned to the core, and has always been invincible, but this time she is about to hit a hard nail.After a while in the teahouse, she still didn't believe that He Lian was a strong man who could compete with Xiao Jingyan, she refused to take it easy, and insisted on taking advantage of Xi Rong's alternation of power.He didn't even think about it, when the power of the Great Zhou changed, Cha Yunshuo also thought that he could take advantage of the vacancy and beat the young emperor, who was not stable, and what kind of ending he got in the end.

How could Helian's response be lost to the White Wolf King who was his equal?

What's more, the bond between him and Cha Yunshuo is far more complicated than it seems to outsiders. Apart from other things, Cha Yunshuo Yingming I really didn't know that Helian was plotting for the Xirong throne step by step.He is clear, even acquiesced, it can be said that the victor is the king in the bones of the Xirong people, and it can also be said that he has entrusted Helian with expectations from the very beginning.Even Meng Cang's death, he may not have been unaware of it.Leaping horses south of the Yangtze River is his long-cherished wish, and Helian is not without the ability to plot the Central Plains.So Yun Lan's move was indeed a bit too risky.

But if you think about it deeply, this may be to restrain the clansmen of the Privy Council. The war has come to an end. The original military-based situation needs to be changed, and power will be gradually withdrawn.Yun Lan's move will not fail the Privy Council, it may be a two-way strategy, it worked for the Xi Rong's retreat, but it didn't work, needless to say the Lord Peace faction, it was also the clan's scapegoat.Thinking in the darkest place, whether it works or not, these letters can end the war as soon as possible and save a lot of military expenses and taxes. Anyway, if this drags on, the soldiers at the border will not die less.

She has always been scheming.

But she didn't necessarily expect Helian to be more ruthless than her.

As Luo Heng said back then, Yun Lan likes to fight fiercely, and after a long fight, she will always hit a nail.

As of the night of the letter, Helian made a surprise attack on Youzhou, Rong Hao sent out troops while Rong Hao was still asleep, Yun Lan stopped the war with a war, Helian was more ruthless than her, Xirong's vanguard troops were all from the northern and southern courtyards and still wanted to The old nobles who wanted to fight, this time, he would either send off all the opposing forces, or take down Youzhou.With his ambition, if this battle is easy, maybe he really wants to plot the Central Plains.

When Master Rong woke up, the battle had already started.He didn't even have time to put on his boots, so he hurried up the hillside, only to see the flames in the direction of Youzhou, and another big battle.

The only good thing is that the casualties should not be too many, because Helian has to reserve his troops to deal with the powerful countries in the Western Regions.But this battle must be extremely dangerous, because this battle situation determines whether Xirong will abandon the rear, break through Youzhou, and go straight to the Central Plains.

Back then, the black and white wolf king in the teahouse would finally have a test in Youzhou.

Helian left guards for him, which can be said to be protection. After all, there are many nobles in the two houses who are full of hostility towards him, but it can also be called house arrest.He Lian has always acted like this. Rong Hao still does not know how he saved Ao Ji from the chaos. There is a saying that when Ao Ji woke up, he was rescued by a shepherd in a small tribe and fell ill. For more than half a year, the hand was abolished due to poor treatment.

But Helian had time to watch him, so he chose not to treat him.The most heroic companion of the Eastern Palace, from now on, he can no longer ride a horse, draw a bow and shoot an arrow, or even use a gun.

He is always crueler than normal people.

He will never give the heart-to-heart affection between His Highness and Xiaoyan. This Xirong barbarian may only be able to say something when he is drunk. More often, they are the two poles of yin and yang. I don't know why he did this, if he didn't say it, many times Rong Hao wouldn't even think about how he did those things.They are a more contradictory combination, a fetter deep in the soul, a confrontation between light and darkness, much more intense, and much more irresistible.

Lord Rong waited until dawn, when Xi Rong returned to the army.He has seen Ao Zhongzhi's army, Da Zhou's army is like mountains and seas, mountains and seas are not moving easily.Xirong's army is like the wind, or a prairie fire, a horse with a scimitar, can run across most of the grassland in a day, come and go freely.No wonder the frontier poems are all heroic, living in no fixed place, chasing the wind.

He saw Xirong's wolf king banner in the tide-like army.

Helian is different from Meng Cang, he will not remind people of tigers and wolves, he is a kind of colder, darker beast with an amazing color, his handsome face is surrounded by a black cloak, the most elegant A face, the deepest heart.

"How to say?"

You shouldn't ask with a smile, because you can tell that you have lost at a glance, but Mr. Rong has always been used to being presumptuous.In many cases, he even used Helian's mask, which is feared by Xirong people, to play with, or wrote "stop children crying at night" with cinnabar on it.

Helian didn't speak, just picked him up, wrapped him in a cloak, and put him on the horse.

"Ao Zhong is getting old." He told Master Rong lightly, "But you taught a good student."

Back then in the teahouse, the boy with curious black eyes had grown into such a powerful general.He still remembered Master Rong's complaints when he was drunk, and he wanted to let Yan Junyu know that he was the most knowledgeable person in the Eastern Palace.

It was not until a long time later that Rong Hao realized the weight of his words.

At this time, he only remembered saying triumphantly: "Of course, blue is better than blue because of blue."

Looking at the big picture from the small, there are such young generals in the Great Zhou, and Xi Rong will not gain much if this battle continues. It is better to return to the grassland and plunder the surrounding countries. Now that there are letters, there is no excuse.

Helian's horse was extremely stable, and he was used to sitting on it. He looked around with ease, the Xirong people were withdrawing their troops, and Helian was withdrawing from the front line of Youzhou. The 20 army will take a certain amount of time to retreat, and it will not be done overnight.When Hai Dongqing spreads the news to the entire front, Xi Rong's war horse will leave Youzhou forever, and Jingbei may be stalemate for a while, but it will be gradually regained in the end.

The Xirong people are going back to the grassland, and then they may go north, or march west, but they will always follow the banner of the wolf king and the sun king in their hearts.

After descending the hill, Helian asked him, "Master Rong, do you want to make peace?"

The people of Xirong never negotiated peace, he was asking him if there was anyone else he wanted to see.

He won't let him go, but he also knows that Rong Heng has come to the frontier, maybe he will let him go to see him, maybe it's just to tease him.This damn Xirong barbarian's thoughts are deeper than the sea.

"Forget it." Rong Hao said.

He sat on the horse and turned his head to look back.Behind is the motherland, maybe it has been paved for too long, and I am not as reluctant as I imagined.

There are already many people in Da Zhou, including Liang Yu and Yun Lan, and a new generation of scholars is about to rise up. He is not a talent for governing the country, and he doesn't want to snatch it away.Luo Heng likes to talk about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so just think of yourself as a sage who roamed the world. It only makes sense to go to places where no one goes.

It is said that the pampered little son of Pingxi Wang has lived in a bitter cold place forever, and no one knows that this is his own choice.He wants Xirong to also belong to the kingly way.If you can't tame him, just plant seeds in his territory, and after a long time, there will always be something.

Rong Ling's descendants are about to leave Dazhou. He wants to see the vast grasslands, the heroic Snow Country, and the legendary trees with leaves sharper than needles and bears taller than houses in the snowy sea.There are also icy seas in extremely cold places rolling black waves, oases in the deserts of the Western Regions, and ancient golden countries that have never been written about in books.

He was very reluctant to leave his hometown when he was young, but he always remembered the words embroidered on a screen by his mother back then: My hometown is where my heart is at ease.

As long as there is someone you want to see by your side, there is Jiangnan everywhere.

The battle in Youzhou was actually quite miserable. If it wasn't for Yan Junyu's leadership of the cavalry, the outcome would have been undecided, especially since Xirong was the new king's own conquest, and the momentum was really fierce. The last battle was to be fought, but fortunately, it was finally won.

When Xirong retreated, Yan Junyu was in a daze. He was seriously injured, and was surrounded by people and returned to the barracks. Youzhou City had been beaten to pieces, and there was nowhere to put the wounded soldiers. The place where they were bandaged was in the city In the post station, it was already ventilated on three sides, separated by a cloth curtain. He lay on a stretcher and was bandaged. He saw familiar faces being carried in one by one.

Wei Ru was seriously injured, He Qiluo was also shot by an arrow, and Jingbei Hou Yuye was the last to come back, which is really worrying, but fortunately, after checking at the end, most of the familiar faces were there.

"Where is the prince?" He asked He Qiluo.

Ao Zhong is no better than Yu Ye. When Xiao Xu comes to him, let alone go to the front line, he can’t even get out of the city during the war, and the emperor’s seal is useless. He can only look at each other in the fortress behind the city with Rong Heng. It's really annoying to be sent away under pressure.But Xiao Xu's temper is much better now, and he is obedient.

"He went out with Lord Rong, and patrolled the border with General Ao to see if the Xirong people really retreated. They were not allowed to go, but they must go, and Lord Ao had to accompany him."

Wei Ru on the side made a face at Yan Junyu when he heard Lord Rong's name.

Both of them only recognize one adult Rong.

Yan Junyu could only smile, and when he saw the overseer on the side, Master Suzaku who held the pen, he also seemed to agree.Today is dangerous, if he hadn't followed him in front of the formation, maybe he really wouldn't be able to come back.

"Is this where the Xirong Wolf Banner is?" Rong Heng stood on the hill and looked into the distance: "Can you know where the Xirong King retreated from?"

Ao Zhong didn't know why he insisted on going to the front line to have a look, but he replied calmly, "Helian is cunning, and the scouts are often confused."

It was already dark, Rong Heng was still lingering on the border and refused to leave, the Rong family were all literati, although he served in the Privy Council, he couldn't go to the front line.It's a bit sad to see such an obsession with wanting to meet.

"What is that?" Xiao Xu suddenly asked suspiciously.

Everyone looked up, only to see a little fire suddenly lit up in the distant night sky, rising higher and higher.Just when everyone thought it was a signal from the Xirong people, another point of fire rose, and then the third point, and the fourth point... In the Xirong army that was withdrawing, suddenly countless points of fire lighted up, flying higher and higher, Light up the entire southwest, as brilliant as a sea of ​​stars.

"That's a Kongming lantern..." Rong Heng said softly.

Jiangnan doesn't pay much attention to the New Year's Day, it's just a family reunion, but he regards the Lantern Festival as a big event.Numerous poems have written about the lantern festival of the Lantern Festival, the sound of the phoenix flute, the light of the jade pot, the dance of fishes and dragons all night, fiery trees and silver flowers, and BMW carving cars. It is a very prosperous and lively Jiangnan scene.

Sai Shang did not have this habit, and he had forgotten what day it was in the midst of war again.I didn't think of it until I saw the Kongming lanterns all over the sky.

This is the Lantern Festival that Rong Hao sent him.
