The author has something to say: I am short of words.Why

On the Yangtze River waterway.

The light navy army has marched on the river for more than a month, and now it has reached the territory of Yunnan.Shao Sheng ordered the army to berth and stop the boats, and people from all walks of life went ashore to replenish supplies and prepare cotton clothes.At this point, the light navy is already close to the front line of battle, and there must be no mistakes in anything, and it is necessary to proceed with caution.

As soon as the army landed, the local officials in Yunnan were waiting at the pier in full dress.

Shaosheng was dressed in armor and came down with his helmet in his arms. When he saw the local official, he clasped his fists and bowed: "We are the Yangzhou [-] Light Navy appointed by the Holy Majesty to come to support the Tibetan campaign. I am the commander of the light navy, Wei Shaosheng."

Zican and others also came down one after another, saluting the county magistrate together.

The county magistrate was in awe when he saw that these generals were all under [-], and each of them had the demeanor of a young hero. "Xiaguan is the local seventh-rank county magistrate chasing the sixth-rank imperial envoys. I have met all the generals. The generals have worked hard from afar. If there is any need, you can ask the next official to make arrangements."

"Thank you, my lord." Shao Sheng smiled lightly, "But there is no shortage right now, and the army will not be here for long."

The magistrate smiled embarrassedly.

Zi Can stood aside, but she was thinking about other things in her heart.

In the afternoon of that day, Shao Sheng and Chen Min went to buy the cotton coats needed for the light navy, while Zi Can and Tianci went to prepare some bows and arrows.In less than an hour, the bows and arrows were ready and sent back to the military ship, and Zi Can summoned Tianci to rush to the local government office together.

"Zixun, where are we going?" Tianci was a little puzzled.

"Borrow troops."

"Borrowing soldiers?" Tianci was stunned for a moment: "But why don't you tell Shao Sheng about this kind of thing first? Besides, how can you recruit soldiers without a handbook or decree?" This kind of thing can be big or small.

Zi Can's originally brisk pace gradually slowed down, and her brows became tighter and tighter.

"In that case..." Zi Can paused, "Then borrow a guide!"

Tianci waited for a long time to hear the implication, and shook his head helplessly.This man!

The local magistrate was shocked when he learned that the two generals who had just arrived today were rushing to the mansion; he immediately ordered his servants to prepare tea, fruit, wine, dishes, and various etiquettes, and he himself was dressed neatly and hurriedly come out to greet you.As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Zi Can and Tianci.

"The lower official has seen the two generals—I don't know why the two generals came here?"

The county magistrate took a look at the person who came, but he was not the general he had seen in the morning, and he was even more suspicious.

As Zi Can's deputy lieutenant, Tianci saw that the county magistrate had a series of doubts in his expression, so he took a step forward to protect him at this time: "This is my vice-admiral of the light navy, Yin Zixun."

"General Yin is polite——"

"Adults don't need to be too polite, juniors can't stand it." Zi Can quickly blocked him with her hands when he bent down.Seeing the stunned look of the magistrate when he looked up, he smiled politely: "I have something to ask, I hope the adults can come in and talk."

"Hey, good, good..." It stands to reason that even if the seventh-rank official position is added to the sixth-rank, it is still a small official, and no one except the local ordinary people thinks highly of it.Although these generals from different places today are not official positions, but because of their combat affairs and oracles, the leading generals are basically equivalent to third-rank generals or above.

But this young man treats himself like this!The county magistrate couldn't help but feel a little good.

When the three of them entered the inner hall, Zi Can looked up to see the furnishings of the mansion.There are not many luxurious items in the government office, basically they are some small calligraphy and paintings or ordinary potted plants.Looking at the tea, fruit and wine dishes on the table to welcome guests, they are just ordinary dishes or local snacks.

Zi Can smiled slightly: "Your Excellency is honest."

The magistrate smiled.The screen retreated four times before inviting the two of them to the table: "General?"

The two of them lifted their robes and sat down. First they poured wine and drank three cups with the county magistrate before they were ready to speak.

"To be honest, my lord, Zixun came here this time to borrow a team of troops from your lord." Zi Can said softly, although this county magistrate is a clean and honest official, no one can guarantee that he will be willing to abandon the people?

"People?" The magistrate was stunned for a moment, "I wonder what the general meant by borrowing people?"

"Guide, so that the army can enter the hinterland of the battle line faster."

The county magistrate nodded in understanding, and Fang said: "It's just that General Wei asked the officials to borrow two guides before. I don't know how much the general will borrow this time?"

"Hundreds of people."

"Ah!?" The magistrate heard this, and the hand holding the wine glass couldn't help trembling, spilling the wine all over his hand.

The equipment of the light navy was generally arranged in order, and people from all walks of life began to gather and prepare to set off again.Shao Sheng is looking at the army map in the main cabin, and is always ready to fight the enemy.

Zican came in from the door, hugged his helmet and saluted: "General!"

"What's the matter?" Shao Sheng was so absorbed in his seriousness at the moment that he didn't look up.

"Zixun is bold, I hope the general will allocate [-] light navy to Zixun, and use it for other purposes!"

"Oh?" Shao Sheng raised his head at this moment.It stands to reason that Yin Zixun, who is usually a man of few words, scares people every time he speaks.Of course including now. "I hope the deputy general will tell you the reason."

Because they are not familiar with each other, and because they are rivals in love, they have never been intimate.

"I'm sorry I can't tell you!" Zi Can was still saluting, but the eyes that looked at him showed a firmness that could not be refused.

Shao Sheng stared at her closely for a long time before returning to his original expression.

"Understood. Zi Xun is also a lieutenant general, so the transfer of 300 people is still possible."

"Thank you, General!"

After the order was issued, Zi Can went to each team to select candidates.After checking the name list and some tests, 300 Yangzhou children with above-average physical fitness were selected.Zican left these [-] people together with Lin Tianci in the local area, secretly responsible for the same task.

That night, the remaining 700 people continued to set off.

After finishing all the military affairs, Zican took a hot bath and lay down on the bed.so tired.Dozens of days have passed, but the battlefield has not even arrived.I don't know how long this battle will take.

Thinking silently in my heart, I took out the letter from under the pillow again.

This letter was left by Zi Qi to herself before the army set off.In the past few days, I don't know how many times I read it, but I can recite the contents of the letter verbatim.

Zican.These days, I have been looking for you by myself without giving any reason.I really want to, but I can't move.

I still remember that you promised me that you would never enter the barracks to wade into the muddy water.And the truth is, no matter how hard you try, you end up back in this place.Dad said, you are doomed.

I can't let it go.Once I think that you are going to lead the army to fight, I can't let go.

None of us can say for sure what happened on the battlefield, even if I know you are highly skilled, who can guarantee it just in case.My whole life is tied up with you, if you have something to do, I will not just live by it.

Since it is already something that cannot be changed, then I can only smile and bless.

I hope you can return safely, and the same is true for my parents.

So come back safe and sound, sister.

I believe in you, my hero.

Ziqi.

"Where's the hero..." Zi Can kept wiping the letter in her hand with her fingers, and the beautiful handwriting on it had turned yellow.I will also believe in myself because of this, and I will not let you down.

Yangzhou City.

It is the time for students to light up the lamp to read at night and for the common people to go home to sleep peacefully.The lights all over the city are sporadic.Inside Wei's mansion, there are still a few places that are lit, and they haven't fallen asleep.

"Shuangshuang, go to bed early, it's already late." Xianyin took a thin cloak and put it on her body lightly. "Are you still worried about Can'er?"

Both smiled, and put their right hands on her warm palm.

Going around, it has been 16 years.They're all in their thirties.Xianyin caressingly stroked the hair hanging down her ears, found a few silver strands, but ignored them, just gently pinched and hid them under the black hair.

"Didn't the Qinghai Navy send a letter yesterday, saying that they are almost at their destination." Xianyin kissed her forehead lightly, "It's okay, I told Can'er, as long as you persist A battle order..."

"So this child like you has always been the light and the focus since childhood." Shuangshuang smiled, recalling the growth process of the two sisters over the past ten years. "A child like yours must be amazing."

"Sure." Xian Yin hugged her lightly and closed his eyes.

The ancestor said that she was a woman who was born to fight on the battlefield, and she was a heroic soul with swords destined by fate.A person who is so powerful just by his name, would not lose his life in this battle.

It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.Just believe and pray.

Xianyin saw the full moon outside through the slightly open sandalwood window. Under the bright light, he seemed to see the child's resolute eyes and the courage to swing the knife.In the ears, the war drums are thundering, and the shouts of the strong men are earth-shattering.Although it was a bloody battle, it has the title of protecting the country.

You know, we are all looking forward to your return.

A gust of wind blew, and the doors and windows in Ziqi's room creaked.

"It's windy at night like this." Zi Qi stretched out her hand to close the window. Before she closed it, she also saw the full moon in the sky.That person will also be watching.

ten days later.

Below the snow line in the south of Yunnan.

The light navy has traveled all the way, and today is finally the time to walk on land.Shao Sheng asked all the soldiers to change into the cotton-padded clothes they bought earlier. In addition to self-defense daggers, weapons, and armor, each of them also prepared two jugs of strong liquor to keep out the cold.

More than 700 people, with military pay and equipment, marched into the snow-capped mountains in a mighty way, hoping to settle down at the original place as soon as possible.

Since the withdrawal of [-] soldiers from the light navy, although the marching of the team has improved somewhat, it has been a little difficult to replace the escort with food and grass.

Zi Can rode on the army horse, looked back at the still long line, stopped and got off the horse.

"Lieutenant General?" A soldier behind him was a little puzzled.

Zi Can looked at the military ration team over there, and her face darkened. "Pass my military order, the soldiers of the first, second and third squads all dismount, put the food and grass on the army horses, and advance on foot!"

Between the words, a white mist appeared faintly due to the cold weather.

"Yes!"

With an order, nearly a hundred soldiers got off their horses one after another.Instead, there were grain, grass and cloth bales stacked on wooden carts.The team stopped suddenly, drawing the attention of the team in front.

"What's wrong with the team at the back, why did they stop?" Shao Sheng asked back, and saw Zi Can standing on the ground in the whiteness, also wearing the armor inlaid with the white flag.Is something wrong?

"General!" The deputy lieutenant Chen Min came from behind, driving the army horse, and stopped in front of Shao Sheng with a roar.

"Report to the general, the deputy general asked the soldiers to give up a hundred army horses to carry grain and grass." Chen Min answered with a fist, "It must be to allow the team to move faster."

Shao Sheng was silent for a while.

Zican on the other side is still adjusting the situation on the spot, let the army horse that can bear two people carry the soldiers who have given up the army horse, and try their best to carry out the food, grass and personnel with the least fatigue.

"Each vacant military horse should be replaced with two bags of grain and grass, not much! Soldiers in other teams should share a ride with the soldiers of the first, second and third teams as much as possible!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers understood the instructions and quickly placed the food and grass on the horses; the other soldiers kept inviting those who let the horses go forward together.

Zi Canfang took a breath, and suddenly heard an order from the front team.

"Soldiers from the fourth, fifth and sixth teams get off their horses! Listen to the lieutenant general's arrangement to share the food and grass escort!"

Zi Can was a little surprised, but before he could react, he saw that the other three teams that had received the order got off their horses to carry food and grass just like before.

There are a total of twelve teams in the light navy, so six teams were dispatched, and they were just assigned to the remaining six teams as partners.

Zi Can looked at the front of the army, and saw that the general Wei Shaocheng who was walking in front of the army was now riding on a military horse with Chen Min.It was really unexpected.

"Lieutenant General! This subordinate dares to invite you to take a ride together!"

A young man of similar age shouted loudly, pulling Zi Can back from her thoughts.Zi Can smiled, looking back at this extremely serious face, and looking at the team that has been reorganized, it was a little comforting.

"it is good."

Zi Can jumped on the horse and asked the young man to hold on to the reins while she held the whip.

"All the officers and men of the light navy obey orders!"

"exist!"

"Keep going!"

Those extremely loud answers swayed directly in Zi Can's heart.

Definitely, definitely won't lose.
