My years as a soldier

As the war drums roared in the morning, Hu Jiuzhang, like all the other wounded soldiers, was carried on the road on a stretcher.

As the dawn dawned, 20 troops marched eastward under the guidance of drums and their respective officers.

At the same time, Li Muyun was also brought into a spacious and exquisitely decorated carriage, followed Lu Kuang's large army, and under the personal escort of General Xiao Lu, embarked on the "journey".

From Tongguan to Shanjun, if you ride lightly and fast, you can arrive in less than a day.However, the marching of large troops, the deployment of infantry and cavalry, and the deployment of various legions must accommodate each other.This seemingly short journey, the fastest and fastest, will take two days.

Ge Shuhan led the troops out of the customs on the fourth day of June. Although he himself strongly resisted the emperor's will, the old general was an honest person. Since he wanted to go out of the customs, of course he had to make serious preparations.

Ge Shuhan brought out almost all the troops in Tongguan, nearly 20 people, plus grain and grass weighing thousands of catties.In such a comparison, Lu Kuang's [-]-strong army is not very conspicuous in this brigade.And Li Muyun, who is behind Lu Kuang's army, has become a point in this mighty torrent. Although he is locked in a carriage and seems to be out of tune with the marching army, in such a huge team, there are occasionally more No one would care about a carriage.

At this time, Lu Sheng rode his horse high-spiritedly beside Li Muyun's carriage, and from time to time, he would say a few words into the carriage, although he rarely received a response, but just this sense of complete control of the conquest made him feel ashamed. Lu Sheng was very satisfied.

But Li Muyun in the car looked much more sluggish than yesterday.Apparently, the relationship between the two also quietly changed overnight.

Yesterday afternoon, when Li Muyun was in his tent, he first heard a wail that sounded like Hu Jiuzhang's. He was already heartbroken. Intelligible shouting.He thought, this should be a message from the old Hutuo, asking him how to arrange it in the future.

At that time, Li Muyun's mood was as if he had just fallen from a cliff, but rose all the way to the top.For a moment, his confidence seemed to return.Because at least, there are still people who can help Lao Hu spread the word, which means that he is not under Lu Sheng's control at this moment.

But in the evening, when he saw Lu Sheng again, the confidence that Li Muyun had just built up was broken by Lu Sheng again.

After all, ever since Li Muyun left home, he regarded Lao Hu as his only hope and destination.Although he is also a young man in his early twenties, this young master has never been out of the city since he was a child.He has been ill for many years, and he grew up relying on his concubine and servants to take care of him.Seeing how gentle and polite he is in dealing with people, he seems to be very stable.But in fact, that was just a pretense of the palace. His experience is nothing compared to Hu Jiuzhang, who has tasted all the bitterness of the world since he was a child.

Li Muyun was brought up by his concubine when he was young, and what he learned about eating, using and watching, actually all came from the Zhao family.No matter how much he didn't want to admit it, just looking at his arrogance when he reprimanded his servants, he was undoubtedly a copy of Zhao Shi.

In the past, Mrs. Zhao was the focus of his life. At that time, he still called Mrs. Zhao: mother.

And it was precisely because of this that when he learned the truth of Princess Zhao's concealment, he wanted to leave the palace, leave home, leave everything he used to live on, and sever ties with the past without hesitation.

Now that he was out of the palace, Li Muyun's focus fell on Hu Jiuzhang again.It is no exaggeration to say that Hu Jiuzhang is his spiritual pillar.It's just that when he met Lu Sheng, this spiritual pillar became his biggest weakness.

"My lord, what do you think this is?"

At night, Lu Sheng held a white handkerchief with a bloody little thing on it, and handed it directly to Li Muyun.

Li Muyun didn't want to look at it at first, but his eyes were naturally attracted by the blood red in the white handkerchief.With the help of the dim candlelight, he looked at it for a long time before he could tell that it was a fingernail that had been pried off a human finger.

Li Muyun let out a breath of cold air, his expression had already changed.

He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Sheng again, his eyes filled with puzzlement and anger, but Lu Sheng smiled back at him instead.

"My lord, do you know who this is?"

Although this was a question, Lu Sheng didn't give Li Muyun a chance to answer it.He squinted his eyes, admiring Li Muyun's gradually turning blue face, and said softly.

"I pried this from Hu Jiuzhang, do you like it? I still have a lot. Doesn't the prince miss him? Do you want me to help you get the rest?"

And at this moment Li Muyun, not only his face turned green, but his whole body couldn't help trembling.

"Get out of here."

Li Muyun's voice was gloomy, even he himself didn't believe it, so it turned out that he could also make such an angry, eerie voice.

Lu Sheng was frightened by Li Muyun's sudden change. He stared at Li Muyun for a long time, but Li Muyun's expression was only more angry, more distorted, and frightening than before.The beauty who had always been pleasant in his impression suddenly became like this, but Lu Sheng never thought of it.But at the same time, he seemed to enjoy Li Muyun's sudden transformation because of himself.

Thinking about all of this now, it was all done by Li Muyun...

This point alone already made the corners of Lu Sheng's mouth twitch up again.

"Hmph... Wouldn't it be a pleasure to give my couch to the crown prince to sleep in?"

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he turned and left with a happy expression.But when Lu Sheng stepped out of the tent, Li Muyun felt dizzy for a while.He took a few steps back, until he touched the candlestick stand behind him, he held onto the thin rod of the copper stand, and gradually stabilized his figure.

The sudden shaking caused the wax oil already full on the candlestick to overflow along the edge.

Li Muyun held the hot oil in one hand, but until he stood still and the melted wax dripped down his fingertips, he didn't notice that there was something extra in his hand.

At this time, in the marching group, Li Muyun was sitting in the carriage with a sluggish expression.His complexion is pale, under his eyes, there are slightly wrinkled bags under the eyes, and two light blue marks.

Last night, a sleepless night.But if it's just a simple insomnia, it won't make a person's spirit slump to such an extent. That night, he thought a lot, but perhaps because he thought too much, he couldn't see a trace of life.

Originally, Hu Jiuzhang was his life force, but now, he didn't know what to believe.

He also thought that the bloody fingernail might have been faked by Lu Sheng, but the wailing outside the tent earlier couldn't be fake.How could he not be able to distinguish Hu Jiuzhang's voice, and the words spoken by the messenger immediately after.

In the Tongguan garrison, besides Hu Jiuzhang, who else knows his name is Xiaobai?Besides Hu Jiuzhang, who else in this world ever called him Xiaobai?

All of these indicated that Hu Jiuzhang was near the tent at that time, but Lao Hu had no feet, how could he come here by himself?It must be Lu Sheng who caught him, it must be Lu Sheng——

The anger was already unstoppable, but what was even more unstoppable was the heart that hung in his heart all the time and had nowhere to rest.

After Lu Sheng left last night, Li Muyun's heart seemed to be tightly wrapped by something, loosening and tightening suddenly, and when it was serious, he even didn't know how to control his body, so he could only lie on the couch, After a while, trembling, trying to maintain breathing and maintain a clear consciousness.

Li Muyun's health was not good, but it was the first time that he had a seizure like this.

This time he didn't have a fever, nor did he suffer from headache or dizziness. His consciousness was exceptionally clear, but his body was the weakest.There was weakness all over, a sudden chill, and a heart that was always clutching.

Sitting in the bumpy carriage almost exhausted all of Li Muyun's energy.It was also Lu Sheng who saw that his appearance was really sick, and gave him several extra cushions in the carriage.But this kind of subtle concern only made Li Muyun feel even more humiliated and disgusted.

The army walked for two days in the hilly area between Tongguan and Shan County, and Li Muyun also endured for two days without life or death.

On the seventh day of June, scouts from the Tang army encountered Cui Qianyou's army in the Xiyuan area of ​​Lingbao.

The confrontation that lasted for half a year made the soldiers of the two armies almost regard each other as mortal enemies, and for a long time, the tension in everyone's minds was also stretched to an unprecedented degree on this day.On the contrary, after learning the news that the rebels were coming, many people felt relieved.After all, the confrontation between the Tang army and the rebels finally came to the day when the outcome was decided.

The Lingbao area is surrounded by mountains in the south and river in the north, and in the middle is a narrow mountain road seventy miles long. Hu Jiuzhang once walked through this place when he was a scout.

This kind of terrain is not good, but it is not bad either.And look at the strength of both sides.Obviously, the Tang army, dispatched in full force, has an advantage in terms of numbers and equipment.

On Tang Jun's side, as soon as he received the news of encountering the enemy, he actively put on an offensive posture.Ge Shuhan led [-] elite soldiers with Wang Sili and other generals in front, Pang Zhong and others led [-] troops to follow, and another [-] troops went up to the heights on the north bank of the Yellow River to beat drums to help.The [-]-step cavalry in the hands of General Lu Kuang is on the bank of the Yellow River, where the team is beating drums to help out.

Such a huge offensive, even the veterans of the Longyou Army who fought all the year round, rarely experienced it.All kinds of arms perform their own duties. Under the progressive command of the generals, they line up with Xiyuan. On the high ground on the north bank, the giant wooden frames of the army drums are all arranged in an orderly manner. The flags ran from one side to the other side of the mighty army, round after round, over and over again.

Tang Jun's team was endless, and the rebel army formation that had already been formed in the distance was obviously not as powerful as Tang Jun's side.

For a time, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted.What's more, he even praised the emperor's wise decision.They all lamented that if the rebel army did not have a surprise soldier descending from the sky, it would be difficult to stop such a large Tang army.

On the banks of the Yellow River, the wind roared furiously, and on the middle of the mountain, the lush green forests also made rustling noises.

All of a sudden, with the sound of the Tang army's army drum shaking the sky and thunder on the north bank of the Yellow River, the [-] elite soldiers lined up at the forefront of the formation, already lined up majestically towards the direction of the rebels to kill under the sound of the army drum.

The final decisive battle has officially started in the charge of these [-] soldiers.
