There is no phoenix

Shocked, Feng Ziying hurriedly raised her spear, stabbed Aliqing in the arm with all her strength, and shouted, "Uncle Wang, hold on!"

Aliqing was injured and fled eastward on horseback.

Seeing that Shui Ruoan fell to the ground with the sword, Feng Ziying covered the wound with one hand, vomited blood, hurriedly held up several enemy generals who rushed over, and ordered two of Shui Ruoan's personal soldiers to quickly rescue Shui Ruoan and leave, while ordering the nearby Zhang Jidao: "General Zhang, I am here, no matter what, save the prince!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ji hurriedly led people to protect the soldiers who raised Shui Ruo'an, and retreated first.

Because the Celestial Army's attack caught the opponent by surprise, the opponent's cavalry did not play much role this time, and the number of them was far smaller than that of the Celestial Army.

Zhang Jian and Liu Xianglian guarded the gate of the city with spears in their hands. The soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty swarmed in. In less than two hours, Gumo City had been captured. Most of the Turkic troops were killed or captured, and more than 1 horses were captured.

In Shenshi, everything settled down, and Feng Ziying asked people to quickly hoard food and grass and build fortifications.Because Aliqing has already escaped, he will not give up, so he asked Liu Xianglian, Zhang Jian and Luo Kai to protect Gumo City, and he and Luo Jiazhong flew to the Duhu Mansion to visit the seriously injured Zhongshun Wang Shui Ruo'an.

The place where Shui Ruoan was hit by the sword was on his right chest, blood had already stained his shirt red, and he was unconscious at this moment, and two doctors were carefully applying medicine to bandage him.

Zhang Jidao: "General Feng, the prince said something before he fell into a coma, and I want me to tell you!"

Feng Ziying hurriedly said, "What did the lord say?"

Zhang Jidao: "The old prince said, if he can't go back, let you say sorry to the Supreme Emperor and Princess Miaoyu on his behalf! He said that he has done a very big mistake!"

Feng Ziying said: "My lord has suffered such a serious injury, he must be treated here. General Luo, why is there no news from Qinghai yet?"

Zhang Jidao: "The Turkic son-in-law Barina who is stationed at Qiemo is a very cunning person. I guess there is no news from General Wei yet. It is very likely that there will be a war today."

Feng Ziying said: "When we came here yesterday, we asked Feng Ziyong to bring [-] troops from the Central Route to assist General Wei. They will definitely come to news if there is any war."

At this moment, I saw a scout coming to report that General Wei of Qinghai and General Feng of the imperial court had sent people to report military information.

Feng Ziying hurriedly sent the news.According to General Wei's news, Barina of Qiemo attacked four towns in southern Qinghai yesterday afternoon, kidnapped hundreds of cattle and sheep, and killed more than a dozen herdsmen. four townships.But this morning, Barina led tens of thousands of troops to capture two nearby towns, and now the two armies are still in a confrontation.

Feng Ziying said angrily: "These Turkic people are a bunch of bandits! General Luo, quickly bring 1 people to assist General Wei and Feng Ziyong. You must take back the newly lost villages and towns. I will send people to meet you right away!"

Luo Jiazhong said: "Feng Concubine, this Gumo is a city that we have rarely regained. We should guard it well and never lose it again!"

Feng Ziying said: "Don't worry, General Luo, no matter how many war horses we have captured now, 10 people can withstand 15 people."

After Luo Jiazhong left, Feng Ziying saw that the two doctors had already cleaned the wound of King Zhongshun, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder if the old prince's life is in danger?"

Both doctors shook their heads, and one of them said: "The old prince is old, he bleeds too much, and has two broken ribs, it is really dangerous."

Feng Ziying hurriedly said: "No matter what medicine you use, you must keep the old prince!"

A doctor said: "Consort Feng, it's not that we didn't try our best, it's just that Wang Ye's injury is too serious."

Feng Ziying said helplessly: "Now there will be wars here at any time, I only hope that the old prince can survive this disaster!"

After Feng Ziying finished speaking, she ordered the two followers of the loyal and obedient king to give the prince water and soup every other hour, no matter what method was used.The two doctors also said: "As long as the prince can drink and have physical strength, the hope will grow bigger and bigger!"

In the next three days, there was no war in Gumo, but apart from Gumo, Turkic cavalry invaded in several places, there were no major battles, and small battles continued.

On the first day of March, Barina of Qiemo suddenly invaded Qinghai on a large scale. General Luo Jiazhong, Wei and Feng Ziyong led the army to fight against them. In the end, because the enemy was outnumbered, they defended the territory, but both Feng Ziyong and Luo Jiazhong were heavily burdened.

On the fourth day of March, Aliqing, the third Turkic prince who fled to Shule, entangled about [-] cavalry to besiege Gumo. Although he failed to capture it, the battle lasted for a day, and both sides suffered a lot of losses.

On the ninth day of March, an army of 15 soldiers from Watermelt came to southern Xinjiang to join Feng Ziying's army.

That night, Shui Rong convened a council of all soldiers to discuss the first target to be captured.

Feng Ziying said: "My lord, when our army captured Gumo, we also thought about attacking Qiemo again, but there will be wars here at any time, and we can't separate our troops. Now that we have enough troops, it's time to fight back against them." gone."

Shui Rong said: "When I came here, my father once said that the Turks rely on elite cavalry. Now they occupy the three cities of Qiemo Shule and Khotan, and they will fight all around at any time, desperately seizing people, animals, and property. We were exhausted from fighting. We must defend here, and the next one must capture Qiemo, and then we will concentrate on dealing with the Turkic army in Shule and Khotan."

At this moment, the guards outside came to report that there were two people dressed as school captains begging to see him.

Shui Rong hurriedly called for someone to come in.

After a while, two people in their forties came in. Feng Ziying couldn't help being surprised when he saw it.Because these two people are not others, but they are Jia Zhen Jia Lian from the Jia family who have not seen each other for many years.

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian knelt down to salute Shui Rong, "My lord, we two brothers came from Gaochang, this is a letter from General Gaochangwu."

Shui Rong took a look at the letter, nodded and said, "You voluntarily stayed on the border during the emperor's amnesty. Your spirit is commendable. Now you have volunteered to join the Western Expedition Army. Your loyalty is touching. The ancestors of your Jia family were also born in martial arts. Make some achievements this time, go back and reunite with your loved ones!"

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Sinners must live up to the teachings of the prince!"

Shui Rong knew that Jia Zhen was familiar with Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian, so she asked Feng Ziying to arrange for them.

Not to mention the various wars on the Northwest battlefield.

However, after the Western Expedition Army left the capital this time, all the families with relatives in the Western Expedition were looking forward to news of the Western Expedition Army at any time.

When the first battle report of the Western Expedition reached the capital, it was already the fifth day of March.When the emperor learned that Feng Ziying's army had harvested Gumo, he finally let go of his hanging heart.However, when it was learned that King Zhongshun was seriously injured, Feng Ziyong was also injured, and after reading the battle report, there was also a list of dead soldiers.Mizusawa's heart hangs again.However, Feng Ziying instructed that in the court hall, those who were injured or killed in battle should not inform their families for the time being, in order to stabilize the overall situation.

Therefore, the first news of the Western Expedition widely circulated in the capital was that the imperial army had already won the victory in the northwest and recovered Gumo.

It was already March 21 when the second battle report from the Northwest came, saying that the imperial army had taken back Qiemo and was marching towards Shule and Khotan.In addition to the roster of wounded and dead soldiers, it was also informed that Shui Jie, the Sixth Princess of the Zhongshun Palace, was also in the army, and was highly skilled in martial arts, having made many military exploits.

There are a few families who are most concerned about the Northwest War, because those who went to the west are the pillars of the family: Beijing Palace, Feng Ziying's House, Zhang Jian's House, Liu Xianglian House, Zhang Jun and Tang Biao's House.

On March 26, Tang Biao's wife Xiang'er gave birth to a daughter. Fortunately, Cai Ping and a maid took care of her, because Tang Biao's first son was only five years old.As for the color screen Zhang Jun, he already has two sons and a daughter.Taking care of these few children, as well as Xiang'er who was in confinement, the color screen was very careful, without any complaints or regrets, and they hardly heard any news about the Western Expedition Army.

In the Beijing Prince's Mansion, Daiyu was ill, and this time she was ill because she had already been diagnosed.

Daiyu was very happy in her heart, and very much hoped that Shui Rong would give birth to a long-awaited daughter, but her body was not up to date, she vomited whatever she ate, within seven or eight days, her body had already lost a lot of weight.

However, Daiyu was relieved that Shui Lin performed very well in the palace, and the three brothers Shui Xiao, Shui Zhen and Shui Ting seemed to be much more sensible after returning from Gusu, and they never made noises about Dai Yu.Especially Shui Xiao, every time he went to his husband's place, he would go to Qingzhu Garden to visit Daiyu and say some comforting words.

In Zhang Jian's residence, Shui Yiyi was nearly eight months pregnant.Fortunately, the eldest son is already nine years old, and the daughter is five years old. Zhang Jian's mother is hardworking and takes care of the whole house, so there is almost no chance to inquire about the news of Zhang Jian's expedition to the west.

The peaks of Yumen Mountain are several thousand heavy, and there are always beacon towers in the north and south of the mountain.People stay far away to see the fire, horses go deep in the mountains without a trace.

This year, the spring flowers in the capital are rarely seen by people, because almost every family in the capital is concerned about the distance.

In the dead of night, the occasional sound of flute and piano in the capital came from the boudoir, adding to the sadness of the spring night.

Everyone knows that if the Western Expeditionary Army does not return to the capital for a day, people will die every day on the Northwest battlefield, but they don't know which family it will be, and will face a scar that may never heal.
