[Datang Shuanglong] Aspiration

Tiancheng Gorge is a half-mile-long gorge in the Tiancheng Mountains. The cliffs on both sides are steep and the walls are as steep as cutting.

The entrance to the west of the gorge is extremely narrow and hidden, and can only accommodate one or two riders to pass through; while in the belly of the gorge, there is another universe, with grasslands, dense forests, birds and animals, streams and rivers flowing, and springs ding-dong, just like a paradise; Stretching to the east, the canyons hidden in the mountains are getting wider and wider, the streams converge, the rivers are opened up, and finally rush to the sea, the sky is high and the sea is wide.

At this time, a temporary pier has been built in the gorge, at a hidden river bend that no one has ever set foot in. Ships come and go, or cruise, or transport food, or fish, or train troops. It is really lively. .

Outside the mouth of the gorge there are endless hills and fields. Song Shidao and the others rode into the mountain and ran up to a hill. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling opened their eyes and looked forward curiously. Far away, strong but not dense" camps, all eyes are full of rocks and horses, high towers and arrow towers, and the defense is tight. The soldiers are full of energy and fighting spirit, laughing and shouting excitedly at the cavalry team here, Welcome their young marshal back to camp.

This military stronghold is backed by the endless Tiancheng Mountains. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack due to the high ground. Difficult to chew and headaches but unwilling to give up easily - but in fact this is the wonderful place to build a stronghold from a desperate situation. Tiancheng Gorge is the last way out of the young commander's army, but the enemy sees it from any angle in front of the position. In the past, it was impossible to notice the secret gorge that ran through the mountains and connected to the sea behind.

While Song Shidao briefly introduced the beauty of this camp to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, he led them through one pass after another and entered the center of the camp; With my eyesight, I haven't been able to see the location of the mouth of the Tiancheng Gorge so far, second brother, you actually found such a magical place to build a camp..."

"Master Ling finally said something fair," Song Shidao said with a satisfied smile, "Quickly express your admiration to me, holding it in for a long time is not good for your health."

Xu Ziling rolled his eyes, pretending to be listless, and said, "I'm exhausted to the limit, so I'll go to rest first..." As he said that, he rolled his eyes, and added fire with a smile: "Master Zhong wants to come It's not much better than me, so second brother, you should continue to hold back, I believe your body must be very good." After finishing speaking, Xu Ziling leisurely walked into the tent closest to the main general's tent to wash up asleep.

Song Shidao was choked again by Xu Ziling, and he waved off his attendants to lead the horse away. Then he put his arms around Kou Zhong's shoulder and asked, "What is Xiao Zhong thinking, why didn't he say a word?"

Kou Zhong mused, "Is there enough water, fodder and fuel in the camp?" The young commander is indeed a serious and responsible commander.

"I have subordinates who will work hard for the army with all my heart. You can rest assured, young commander." Song Shidao said with a confident smile: "There are not only water and grass in the gorge, but also turpentine for fuel. As for the army rations, I sent soldiers early in the morning, Secretly moved the food stored in several nearby towns into the gorge, enough to feed the entire army for several months. Moreover, there are a lot of prey in the forest in the gorge, including fish and meat. You can go hunting and fishing for a change of taste. As for the details of setting up a camp, I asked the experienced Mr. Yang to investigate and arrange. According to his old man's instructions, we will cut down all the trees within a few miles. The wood is used for firewood, and it can also prevent the enemy from using fire attacks...does the young commander need to add anything?"

"...It sounds really comprehensive," Kou Zhong shrugged and said with a smile, "The only thing I can add is to express my admiration for you, or what other rewards do you want?"

Song Shidao smiled meaningfully, leaned close to Kou Zhong's ear, and said in a low voice, "How about the young commander reward his subordinates for bathing and changing clothes for you..."

Obviously this reward is in line with the principle of "as everyone likes it".

Hey, don't get me wrong, Song Shidao is not such a beast, even though they easily "get angry" when they touch each other while washing, but when Song Shidao feels the hideous wounds on the skin under his palm, he is angry or something. It all became distressed.

"Are you helping me with medicine or taking advantage?" Kou Zhong tilted his head on Song Shidao's lap, put his arms around Song Shidao's waist, half-opened his eyes, and said in a daze, "No matter what Hurry up, I have woken up from a dream, and you are still touching left and right..."

Song Shidao stuffed the medicine bottle, threw it to the side, and said with a faint smile, "I just gave you a massage to let you rest better. To be honest, the effect of the medicine is not as good as ours. Shuangxiu's true energy walks around twice, if you've had enough sleep, shall we come here once?"

Kou Zhong hummed twice, and said, "Come on, I wish I could sleep for three days and three nights, so stop torturing me."

Song Shidao moved Kou Zhong's head to the pillow and settled it down, and lay down himself, sighing softly, "How can I be willing to torment you, my little piglet has lost a lot of weight, and it's almost turning into a skinny pig , I’m so distressed that it’s too late.”

Kou Zhong kicked over, and said angrily and cheerfully: "What kind of description is that, do you really think that you are cooking when you are fighting?!" He lowered his head and looked at the crisscross wounds on his body, quite proudly Said: "These are all my meritorious deeds, but it's a pity that I can't keep them for long..." Under the influence of the zhenqi of the formula of longevity and the supernatural power of He's Bi, there is no need to think about leaving scars.

"My dear Master Zhong, why do you want so many merits?" Song Shidao turned over and hugged Kou Zhong, kissed Kou Zhong on the face, and said with a smile, "Could it be to support me..."

Kou Zhongbai gave Song Shidao a look, and said: "It seems that you are quite self-aware, Young Master Ling has long defined you as a bastard who eats soft food."

"Huh?!" Song Shidao said dumbfoundedly: "Young Master Ling's prejudice against me is hopeless. When did I eat soft rice? In the past few months, you are leading troops to kill the enemy, and I am too busy. I don’t have time to sleep. I don’t have to worry about the resettlement of the people, logistics, food and grass, marching routes, weather and terrain, etc.? And you two don’t let me worry at all. You don’t need to fight so hard, just fight and flee... As a result, when you see Changsun Wuji, you can’t help but want to kill him, and when you meet Chai Shao, you have to rush up to assassinate him. Every time I receive the battle report, I am terrified, wishing I could just fly over and bring you two brats back..."

"We were adapting accordingly, and the actual situation does not allow us to run away at will," Kou Zhong said a little aggrieved: "Mr. Ling and I have been in life-and-death crises several times. It's just killing a few of Li Er's confidantes... that would be considered a loss."

"Oh," Song Shidao sighed, stretched out his hand and rubbed Kou Zhong's head, and said, "It's not easy for us anyway, you can't just listen to Ling Shao's slander and misunderstand me, and I'm not blaming you...I'm complaining A few words, just because I am worried about you, if something happens to you, then all my efforts will be in vain, and there is no point in living alone."

Kou Zhong was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Young Master Ling is just worried that I will suffer, but I have a plan in my heart, and I will trust you from the beginning to the end..."

"Then Xiao Zhong thinks you have suffered a disadvantage?" Song Shidao couldn't help asking.

"No way," Kou Zhong rubbed his chin, and said with a hey smile, "I went from being a little bastard with nothing to today, and even abducted you, the crown prince, to be my military advisor, no matter how you think about it, it's very profitable. "

"Really," Song Shidao retracted his arms, hugged Kou Zhong even tighter, and said with a smile, "But I also think I'm making a lot of money. Ever since I picked up your big treasure, I've never experienced bad luck."

Kou Zhong stared at his sweetheart, and said with emotion: "When two people are together, there is nothing you can lose to me. As long as the day of getting bored is not reached, it is a good business for both parties."

"..." Song Shidao was stunned, and said: "Young Master Zhong, you have really grown up, and you can teach me in turn." Indeed, why do lovers need to care so much?In short, they are in love with each other, they are both deeply in love, and they can even die for each other, so there is no point in worrying about it.

"I'm not a little kid, okay?" Kou Zhong kicked over again, and said, "Okay, I'm sleepy, go to sleep, I'm going to fight when I'm full..."

The war between the Young Marshal's Army and King Qin's army is far from over, and it can even be said that it has just begun: After all, in this era, one side defeats the other by attacking the city, killing one side's soldiers and food, and capturing Or kill the opponent's coach, that is the final victory.Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling ran back and forth to fight guerrillas, which indeed caused a lot of trouble to King Qin's army, and also made Li Shimin very suffocated.

And when Li Shimin led the army to Donghai County to rendezvous with Yuchi Jingde, facing the empty town, the breath in his stomach was about to explode.

"Could it be that there was a disturbance in the young commander's army, and they all abandoned the city and fled?" Li Shentong murmured.

"That's impossible!" Li Shimin kicked away the broken basket that was rolling around on the deserted and empty street, and even rolled in front of him, and said in a cold tone: "Could it be that they still want to continue playing with me?" Is it a game of hide and seek..."

Li Jing frowned, and said: "No, before they could frequently use rogue-like sneak attack strategies, relying on the continuous support of food, grass and soldiers from multiple towns. Now that we have hit here, they have no escape To escape, we must build a main stronghold to fight against us. It’s just that the other party chose to give up Donghai County, but according to Yichen, the main stronghold of the Young Marshal’s army must not be far from here.”

"Send out scouts immediately to find out where the remnants of the Young Marshal's army have gone!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Pay special attention to where the wheel marks on the ground are going. Evacuate them in advance...Where the food and grass are transported is where the enemy is!"

Since King Qin's army has already occupied Donghai County, it is really not difficult for them to find out where the main stronghold of the Young Marshal's army is.Within a few days, Li Shimin personally led a mighty army towards Tiancheng Mountain Range.

Kou Zhong stood in front of the mountain wall, looking up at the gorge like a ray of sky - due to the lingering clouds and mists, even the ray of sky was completely covered.Kou Zhong took a few steps, looked at Xuan Yong, the counselor beside him, and asked, "If you were Li Shimin and came with a large army, what would you think when you saw us setting up a stronghold with our backs on our backs?"

Xuan Yongdao: "I will have doubts in my heart. How long can the young commander stand in this place where food and grass should be exhausted and there is no way out?"

Kou Zhong said solemnly: "Since there is suspicion, of course people will climb the mountain for reconnaissance. Although the cliff outside the army camp is very steep, I am afraid that it will not be difficult for the opponent's light kung fu masters."

"Young commander, don't worry," Yang Gongqing said with a friendly smile, "The Yue army division has climbed this mountain before, and there are many dangerous cliffs on it, and it is extremely dangerous. In addition, there are old trees entrenched, clouds and fog, even if you climb up, you will still see the mountain." Without seeing the gorge below, unless they dare to climb down the mountain wall, they will never find our secret."

Song Shidao nodded and said: "There is perennial solid ice formed by clouds, mist and water vapor on the mountain wall. It is not easy to climb down, young commander, but please rest assured."

Kou Zhongshu let out a sigh of relief: "That's great, please ask Yang Gong to arrange the placement of the trebuchet, and get ready to welcome the king of Qin!"

Yang Gongqing stroked his beard and replied: "Follow the order!" He simply took the generals and advisers to the outskirts of the military camp to make the final arrangement, leaving only Kou Zhong and Song Shidao behind.With Yang Gongqing's old ways, he saw that Kou Zhong trusted this "Vietnamese Army Master" very early in the morning, and in the process of establishing the village this time, Yang Gongqing also admired Song Shidao's planning ability more and more: Although this young boy He still lacks some war experience, but in terms of intelligence and talent, he is already an extremely rare talent.

"I want to try to climb up from here, to make sure that this retreat is safe." Kou Zhong slung Jing Zhongyue on his back, and was about to jump up the mountain wall immediately.

Song Shidao quickly stopped Kou Zhong's movement, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, in fact, I once climbed down from the top secretly, it was really very difficult, even I almost fell to pieces, Li Shimin's army There is absolutely no master who can surpass me, unless he can call Ning Daoqi to help him be a gecko."

Kou Zhong's face changed slightly when he heard this, he gave Song Shidao a hard look, and said, "If you fall to your death here inexplicably, it will be a real joke!"

"How could I be so unlucky... Okay, okay, I'm fine." Song Shidao rubbed his nose, seeing Kou Zhong's complexion getting worse, he quickly changed the subject, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the camp Look around, with the footsteps of King Qin's army, they should be arriving soon. That's where the main event is, young commander, you seem to have misplaced the focus?"

Kou Zhong turned around and walked outside, humming and said, "If it wasn't for worrying that you would have nowhere to escape, why would I bother so much?"

Song Shidao caught up and took Kou Zhong's hand, and said with a smile, "I knew you cared about me the most... But, in fact, this gorge is just to give everyone a reassurance, it's not very useful, this time we We will definitely be able to defend until Dad’s reinforcements arrive.”

"Will Daddy really send troops?" Kou Zhong asked pleasantly.

"Although under my repeated inquiries, the old guy still put on a very heartless look and didn't answer." Song Shidao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "But I'm sure he will send troops, maybe the army is already on the way... ..."

"Ha, I know." Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Father, he's just putting on a pose, just trying to scare us...he's always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted."

Unexpectedly, Song Shidao shook his head and said: "Although your description is quite appropriate, it is only limited to normal times. The matter of sending troops is related to the future of the Song clan, and my father will not make a hasty decision."

Kou Zhong couldn't help feeling a little helpless, and asked sullenly: "Then how can you be sure that there will be reinforcements coming?"

"I have spent so much effort to create such a good situation, and I have only used the young commander to restrain Li Shimin like this. What a great opportunity this is! If Dad doesn't send troops again, then he will really be I'm getting water in my head." Song Shidao smiled smugly.

"Hey?!" Kou Zhong said in surprise, "It turns out that you have already planned..."

"It's really not this time." Song Shidao shook his head again, and said, "At first I didn't intend to spend so much effort. You guys go back to Lingnan together. Even if Young Master Ling hurt me badly later, I just changed my strategy slightly, and I still don't intend to fight Lao Di."

Kou Zhong cast a contemptuous look at him, "Then what you said before was all nonsense? You really are a jerk."

"Where am I an asshole?" Song Shidao said with a wry smile, "I won't let you die in Li Shimin's hands. Of course it is true that we live and die together. The one who dies for nothing is a fool, right?"

"That's right, I'm an idiot...then why did you change your mind?" Kou Zhong laughed.

Song Shidao sighed softly: "That's because you and Young Master Ling performed so well that you made the majestic Qin King Li Shimin like this, cut off several of his arms and thighs, and added a few more to the Young Commander's Army." It's a rare chance to win, and of course I can fight at this time, I'm not a softie..."

"Pfft," Kou Zhong laughed and said, "You're not a softie, so Li Er is an octopus?!"

"He's either an octopus or a bastard!" Song Shidao laughed a few times, and continued: "Of course, that's only one of the reasons, and the more important reason is that the Young Marshal is your dowry no matter what. Next time, I will definitely do my best to help, otherwise I will lose a lot of money."

Kou Zhong punched it over and said fiercely: "You are accustomed to picking up cheap bastards, I ordered you to give me Song Jiajun!"

"Okay, no problem. When the old man comes with the Song family army, you go and talk to him." Song Shidao agreed very easily.

"..." Kou Zhong raised his fist as big as a sandbag, and smashed it hard!

"I admit my mistake, don't fight anymore, I will go with you and tell my father to use the Song family army as the betrothal gift of the crown princess... Is that all right?"
