I am neither beautiful nor crazy

Jiang Yu took out a package of carefully wrapped spices from the cabinet, picked up the pen and pondered for a while, and finally just wrote: Leading the army to go out, I don't know where I will return.

After thinking about it for a long time, it seems that there are many details to write, but I feel that the other party will probably understand.

In the end, he just signed his name at the end of the article, lit the incense, and tied the letter paper to the bird that smelled it.

"If there is something urgent, you can burn incense and send a letter to me, only once."

This is the spice that Shen Chen gave him before he left.

The luggage had already been packed, and Gu Yuan stood silently behind him, his eyes slightly red.

"You don't need to bring so many clothes." Jiang Yu felt a little funny, and glanced casually, only to see a set of bright red long clothes in the corner of the cabinet.

He suddenly remembered that this dress was made for him by the prince when he was still in the Western Regions.At that time, it was deliberately made a little bigger, saying that it would be worn for the coronation ceremony later.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gentle by nature, even the clothes he wears are simple and elegant, the colors are ordinary and low-key, but he really likes to see Jiang Yu wearing colorful clothes.

This warm and flourishing garment is filled with all his hopes and feelings, part of which is his elder brother's yearning and care, and the other part is his secret and jerky nostalgia.

It's just that Jiang Yu doesn't know why, he only has a soft spot for white clothes.The slender white clothes lined up the originally lonely and beautiful appearance, which made her look a little colder and more independent of the world.

Only he himself knows that he is actually very vulgar, and he cannot do without the greed and greed that ordinary people have.

"Just wear this." Jiang Yu pointed to the red dress.

This was the first time he had put on this dress, the size was basically suitable, and even though it had been placed for many years, it hadn't faded in the slightest.

Jiang Yu was born with a narrow waist and long legs, and the colorful clothes outlined her figure just right.The pale cold skin and the bright red clothes look like a red plum blossom in the ice field. It does not seem to be inconsistent, but it blends two completely different beauties into one.

Jiang Yu didn't even have time to look into the mirror a few more times, so he put on the snow-white fur coat outside, turned to Gu Yuan and said, "Master Xia is indeed a little abnormal."

Gu Yuan immediately became serious.

"It does not look like a counterfeit, but more like a manifestation of dullness and confusion. I heard in the Western Regions that there is a Gu insect that can make others do what they want." Jiang Yu paused, "But this Gu insect is too insidious. It should have been lost for a long time, but there is no shortage of such possibilities, you should pay more attention here and write to me in time."

Gu Yuan nodded, and immediately knelt down, his forehead touching the ground.

"Your Highness is going on an expedition, but I can't accompany you. Please accept my three respects."

"First salute, thank you for your care and support over the years, Your Highness has always treated me with brotherhood, and I will swear allegiance to Your Highness to the death."

Gu Yuan got up and touched the ground again, "The second obeisance, may your highness win the battle, put down the rebellion, and shake our military power in the Central Plains."

"The third obeisance, Gu Yuan will stay until His Highness returns in triumph in the future."

"Okay." Jiang Yu bent the corners of his mouth, "I'll wait."

In the northern camp.

The generals were discussing the marching route map on the map. Recently, the Beikou's attacks have been extremely frequent, but they have stopped lightly. They have not slept well for some days.

Xiao Xiangling stood at the end of the long table, swipe across the map with calloused fingertips, thin sweat oozes from the corners of his forehead, exuding a majestic and resolute aura.

It seems that as long as he is there, the Northern Xinjiang Army cannot lose. He is like a hard and sharp sword, supporting the thoughts and hopes of the entire Northern Xinjiang like the backbone.Just hearing the name of General Xiao is enough to make the enemy awe-inspiring and solemn.

"Report—" A soldier ran in to report, "The capital has already sent someone to collect the small Northern Xinjiang Qingqi, and it set off early yesterday morning."

Xiao Xiangling finally lifted his finger on the map slightly, but his expression didn't change at all, "Those Qingqi who slipped away are good at plotting, so they may not have much advantage in face to face, but poisonous needles, Gu worms, disguises, etc. are extremely powerful. Proficient, tell them to stop and march as little as possible, strictly defend at night, and the coach especially don't rest in the inn..."

After talking to Xiao Xiangling, he realized that they set off early yesterday morning, and now it was too late to remind them.

"Why is the news so untimely, who brought the troops this time?"

"Back to General, it's His Royal Highness Jiangyu."

Xiao Xiangling didn't speak, but if you observe carefully, it's not difficult to find that his fingertips froze in place for an instant, and he even exerted so much force that the lines of his wrists were revealed.

"I see, let's go down." Almost at the same moment, he said nonchalantly.

"I have heard about this Jiangyu." Someone said, "I heard that he is cold and cunning by nature, and he is tricky and mean and extremely difficult to get along with..."

"This biological mother seems to be..."

"No." Xiao Xiangling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Jiang Yu is just too tactful and intelligent. He knows what to do and what not to do. He is not a willful person at all. If someone comes to Beijiang in the future, don't for discussion."

Everyone had only heard some gossip, but now that they heard Xiao Xiangling's rebuttal, they immediately knew it and stopped talking about it.

"Then according to the plan we have just agreed on, General Bai and General Su will lead the troops to attack from both ends of the narrow road. General Chen will lead the light soldiers to lie in ambush at the pass. When the enemy is in a turmoil, they will set fire to disturb the morale of their troops. General Yang Guang Lead the army to occupy a high position to watch and watch, and when they see a fire in the distance, they start to shoot arrows. Do you have any questions?"

"Where is General Xiao?" Yang Guang asked suspiciously.

"The main purpose of the fish that slipped through the net a few days ago may not be the capital city. They were waiting for the army to go out of the capital and lure them into a remote area. Destroy it."

"Very likely." Yang Guang frowned, "But in any case, General Xiao can't go alone, the situation on both sides..."

"Yang Guang." Xiao Xiangling raised his voice slightly, and said seriously, "We don't have enough troops."

Everyone is dumb.

"This is our main disadvantage, and your four groups of troops are already tight and dangerous. If you lack one soldier, you may lose everything. We can't take this risk."

"But at the same time, I can't let Jiangyu take risks."

"but……"

"I just need to get rid of the group of light cavalry before the army reaches the northern border. When did you see me lose?"

Even if everyone knew from the bottom of their hearts that it was no longer an opportunity to rush there in time, it was almost impossible to arrive before the army arrived in northern Xinjiang.But Xiao Xiangling's words revealed an extremely calm self-confidence.

It's not a verbal bragging, but a source of water and a forest of roots, which makes people subconsciously obey and cannot be doubted.

"Neither of us will lose." He repeated.

Beside the rugged mountain road, a group of soldiers and horses was passing by, and the leading young man straddled a steed and held a soft sword.The strong wind blew up a corner of his snow-white fur coat, revealing the dark red long coat underneath.

"Your Highness, it's been a long march, and the soldiers are a little tired." A man rode forward and whispered to Jiang Yu to rest for a while before marching.

Jiang Yu raised his eyes to look at the rugged mountains around him, and said in a low voice, "After passing this mountain road, we will rest."

While talking, he turned over and got off his horse, leading the horse and walking with all the soldiers.The fur clothes lightly brushed against the clear snow that was blowing up from the ground, and they became entangled with each other in an instant, making it inseparable.

"Your Highness..."

Jiang Yu shook his head and didn't explain much, but just said to him, "Tell the soldiers to hold on for a while, this place is not suitable for rest."

His complexion was pale from birth, and now it is even less bloody when reflected in the snow. He always gives people the illusion that he will faint in the next second, but the light in his eyes is extremely firm, making it hard to move his eyes away.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Yu suddenly stopped, and then suddenly pulled out the soft sword and swung it diagonally backwards, which actually directly swung away an arrow that was shot from the upper back.

His movements were so blunt that before everyone could react, they only saw the arrow sticking straight into the snow, with the tail still shaking slightly.

"Report to protect Your Highness!" Someone suddenly shouted loudly, and all the soldiers approached inward in a central shape, and set up a defensive position.

But at this moment, a person jumped out from the middle of the mountain and stabbed straight at Jiangyu.Before the soldiers had time to set up their positions, they heard a monstrous shout from the other end of the mountain road.

They turned their heads to look over, and saw a black army of Northern bandits approaching straight from the front, and they couldn't see the end of the army at a glance. The number seemed to be more than two or three times their number.

The sergeant on the side suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Your Highness, the main force of the Northern Bandits did not fight against General Xiao, but came to besiege us. Why..."

Jiang Yu looked at Lai Jun and frowned, but he didn't show any panic, as if he had already guessed about it.He looked up and saw the towering and narrow mountains all around, covered with thick and compact snow everywhere.

"Don't panic, fight while retreating, be careful of hidden weapons." Just as Jiang Yu was talking, he tilted his head suddenly, and a small silver needle passed by his ear. "

The high-pitched shouts of the Northern Bandits army and the footsteps of thousands of cavalry almost made the entire mountain road tremble. There was still a narrow mountain behind them, and there was no retreat.

Facing a fierce enemy army that is several times larger than one's own army, no one will not be afraid, no one will not want to shrink back, and no one will be generous enough to be happy when the sharp edge of life and death is really on his neck.

All the soldiers felt their hearts beating faster, and even a thin layer of sweat oozed from the palms holding the swords.

It was extremely cold at the foot of the mountain, and the sound of the wind was bitter. Everyone's ears felt like a layer of cotton was plugged up. The sound was so distant and grand that it was unreal.

At this moment, they heard Jiang Yu, who didn't talk much along the way, open his mouth.

His voice was as cold as the gale, and as unruly as the gale, and there was even a habitual smile between his sentences.

He said, "I don't raise idle soldiers in Beijing. They are all brave and brave. Wearing strong and sharp can win more with less, and surprise them. I don't worry about the enemy's strength, and I don't fear the enemy. This is called the Central Plains Army."

A strange feeling began to rise in everyone's hearts. This heat was generated from the heart veins, and everywhere they walked was filled with an inexplicable force.

So what if there are so many northern bandits, they have practiced hard day and night, and have sharper and more convenient weapons. What reason do they have to fear the northern bandits who have been living in a corner all year round?

The dark enemy army is approaching rapidly, but Jiang Yu doesn't seem to care much about everything.He was at the forefront of the army, standing upright on his horse, and the wind blew his fur coat into the air, revealing the bright colors inside, like blood and fire.

At that moment, everyone seemed to see the god standing in front of them on the snow field, propping up his awe-inspiring arrogance with his straight back, without bending or bending.

He turned his head towards the back, his tone was a little less casual and more decisive, "This is my territory, you must not give up a single inch, if you can return in triumph, you will sacrifice it with strong wine; if you can't, you can sacrifice it." There is no fear in sacrificing it with blood and bones."

What are you afraid of?

What fear!

If you are lucky enough to retreat, you will guard the border and hope that the people will be safe; if blood is spilled on the snow, there will be green hills to bury my loyal bones, and those who drink blood on the battlefield will never bend, and see death as home, so what fear!

A few words inspired the unprecedented determination and fighting spirit of the outstanding soldiers. They rushed forward bravely with a single order, roaring a hoarse crack, which seemed sad but inspiring.

The two armies were soon entangled, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce. Even though the number of troops was several times smaller than that of the enemy, they did not show any obvious disadvantages.People kept falling down, and more people rushed up. Blood instantly stained the narrow mountain road red, as if a winding and rugged red current was crawling and rushing under the feet.

And the general Beikou standing at the top also rushed straight to Jiangyu at this time, Jiangyu didn't have the slightest fear, and straightly drew his sword to meet him.

The opponent was tall and burly, and the heavy iron in his hand was almost heavier than Jiang Yu himself.The two horses approached quickly while leaping, which seemed to be an unsuspecting crush of strength.

However, just when the weapons were about to slam into each other, Jiang Yu turned around his waist in an almost impossible arc, narrowly dodging the opponent's huge inertial blow, and at the same time thrust out the soft sword in his hand in the low air, Dive deep into the opponent's horse.

The horse let out a painful roar, and raised its front hooves, almost throwing the person on the horse over.However, the opponent took the initiative to roll off the horse's back with the absolute advantage of strength, so he fell down in front of Jiangyu's horse's hoof, and was trampled by the strong horse's hoof in an instant.

But to Jiang Yu's surprise, the other party just frowned and stood up straight, and even swung the iron weapon in his hand horizontally towards Jiang Yu's horseshoe again without buffering.

Jiang Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and he put one hand on the horse's back, and jumped off the horse's back with a push of his legs.Compared to fighting on horseback, close-quarters attack is his strong point, and the hem of his clothes flutters with his movements, which is particularly conspicuous in the dense army.

The man on the opposite side had never seen Jiangyu before, and the news he got before was that a prince who didn't know the art of war and was not good at swordsmanship was leading the army. However, his love rival in the first round made him lose his horse. Difficult to get rid of.

Jiang Yu's body is like a swimming snake, but the sword he stabs is precise and fierce. He uses his agility and flexibility to dodge the entanglement, and focuses on attacking weak acupuncture points and joints.

For a while, the two were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom.

But after all, the place is extremely cold and the ground is slippery, and the soldiers are not used to the terrain.In the long-term battle, the army gradually showed weakness, and the scene gradually became overwhelming.

Jiang Yu raised his eyes to look at the surrounding mountains. The snow on the side walls was already chapped. With the loud sound of weapons handing off below the mountain, it seemed that even the valley trembled. Occasionally, the snow was shaken off. , fluttered onto the shoulders of everyone.

"Start withdrawing!" Jiang Yu suddenly shouted.

As early as on the way here, Jiang Yu and the others guessed several places where the other side might ambush, and the valley was ranked last, because the probability of avalanches in the mountains is extremely high, and it is an extremely dangerous choice for both parties.

And they had already formulated the retreat method and route, so the soldiers did not lose their positions because of this sentence, but instead formed a tight formation internally, turning from attack to defense, while retreating quickly.

Seeing this, the general who was fighting against Jiangyu thought that the opponent was doomed, and decided to run away. In an instant, he regained his fighting spirit, and his attack became extremely violent in an instant.At this time, Jiang Yu's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and he couldn't dodge several times, so he could only resist the opponent's offensive forcefully, and his tiger's mouth was lacerated by the shock.

Seeing this, the general on the opposite side did not allow his own soldiers to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but to integrate the formation and put Jiangyu to death together first.

Seeing this, many soldiers who had retreated halfway turned around and came back to support Jiangyu.Seeing that the soldiers who were about to withdraw from the valley were about to return again, Jiang Yu raised his head suddenly, and saw that the snow on the top of the mountain had cracks that were horrifyingly deep, and it was on the verge of falling, and a large piece of snow had already begun to fall.

"Quick retreat, this is an order!" Jiang Yu suddenly turned around and shouted, not caring at all that there were a few more wounds on his body in a blink of an eye.

The soldiers who returned halfway stopped abruptly. They saw that Jiangyu's spotless fur coat had been soaked in blood, and even his pale face was sprayed with whose blood, but those reddish eyes were full of blood. With unprecedented determination and firmness.This powerful visual impact made it impossible for them to disobey their orders and take no further steps forward.

At this time, the snow on the mountainside had begun to fall in large chunks, and the people who were hit by the snow fell silent in an instant. General Beikou was clearly aware of this situation, and suddenly threw the weapon in his hand straight into the river Yu waved his neck away, trying to make a quick decision.

At this time, the two stalemates in the middle lost their horses and were fighting on the ground, while the Beikou, who was riding around in a circle, had already surrounded the two of them firmly, with their spears aimed at Jiangyu, and they were about to stab them in the next moment.

"Your Highness!" The soldier who died outside the valley by the military order yelled sadly. Now that the river island is already doomed, even if he escaped from the besiege of the northern bandits, it would be difficult to escape the avalanche with his legs.

At this time, the avalanche was almost at its most serious stage, piles of frightening snow blocks were crumbling in the air, but if they fell together, the people in the valley would have no chance of surviving.

"Drive—" Finally someone couldn't hold back anymore, and the horse rushed in from outside the valley. It was impossible for him to watch Jiangyu being surrounded by the enemy alone in order to let them retreat first.

He has only seen one person who can break through this kind of siege with one person in his life

Xiao Xiangling.

"General Xiao!" "It's General Xiao!"

There was a burst of fierce and excited shouts from the crowd, noisy and chaotic, but it almost made him freeze in place.

Just at this moment, a person riding a horse rushed past him at high speed, like an arrow leaving the string, the speed was so fast that only an afterimage remained.But the moment he saw that figure, his heart that had been hanging high finally fell suddenly.

It was Xiao Xiangling who came.

But on the northern battlefield, the meaning of these three words is always much more important than imagined.

The black shadow rushed into the densely packed soldiers with unstoppable speed, ignoring all the overreaching and trying to act like a car, there was nothing to block it, and rushed to the middle of the encirclement in just a moment, invincible.The black battle robe fluttered in the cold wind, like a solid and sharp machete.

At this moment, the enemy's blade was only hanging a few inches above Jiang Yu's head.
