When he went to the battlefield, it was late autumn and the beginning of winter, but now, it was the second year when the grass grew and the warblers flew, and the spring was just right.The horses on the official road rushed along the road in a hurry, and the horses hooved over the swale beside the official road. The muddy water splashed in the puddle was accumulated by the spring rain last night, and the road was slightly muddy.

"General." The tall and thin man said in a hoarse voice, but soon he changed his words cautiously, "Sir, we have arrived in Yancheng." The tall and thin man supported the hat on his head with one hand, Pulling the rein of the horse, he turned the horse's head around, and then turned his questioning gaze to the man behind him.

The rain last night was actually not that big, and it took a long time to feel a sticky wetness. The man who walked behind pulled the rein of the horse and followed a few steps, and slowly stretched out from under the coir raincoat. A right hand with well-defined joints, pointed like the root of a green onion, the fingertips are light white, the knuckles are slender, the palm covers a certain hat on the head, and slowly lifted, revealing a thin facial features that seems to have a clear face. Then the face of the handsome young man came.The young man had a pair of eyes as deep as the deep, and his eyebrows were picturesque, but his face was a little pale, and the tiredness of traveling for days had already shown a little bit of fatigue on this man's face.

As of yesterday, they had been driving for a day in the rain. To a veteran who has been running around the rivers and lakes all year round, it is not uncommon to drive in the rain at night. However, after all, since the day they left Yumenguan , They have been driving for three or four days, speeding up the horse without stopping, not to mention that an ordinary warrior is somewhat overwhelmed, not to mention that this is not what a man should be supposed to sing about the sorrow and sorrow of the autumn. suffer the guilt.

The man who took off the hat on his head pondered for a moment, and saw that although there seemed to be a bit of gloomy color between the brows and eyes of this man, his facial features seemed indescribably soothing and handsome, imprinting the image of the day and night. After the rain, the grass looks like a hazy scene when you look at it from a distance, but every stroke has its own unique and timeless meaning.Afterwards, the man finally heard the man say in a calm manner, "Let's go into the city."

After passing Yancheng, one day later, Chang'an will be within easy reach.

After Zhaokong heard this, he suddenly said, "Let's go into the city and rest for a while, general."

Lin Ziqing frowned, and said, "There is no peace in the frontier, not to mention the emergency of the military, and there is no delay." After a short pause, he said, "Set foot in Chang'an as soon as possible, and settle this matter early, so I can be considered safe. "In many cases, in some respects, General Lin's stubbornness is unshakable by others, and it is very unexpected stubbornness.

Zhaokong also frowned, and said, "Why don't you have breakfast at the inn in the city and then go on your own way? It's not too late."

Lin Ziqing pondered for a moment before saying, "It's okay."

Lin Ziqing and Zhaokong were not the only ones who accompanied them all the way back to Chang'an City, but the general had to buy some things in advance when he returned to Chang'an, so he and Zhaokong rushed to Chang'an in advance.In addition, Gong Shu also dispatched a team of hundreds of light cavalry to escort hundreds of weak women, children and old children rescued from the camps of Rong Di and Marquis Yong'an, and hundreds of retired veterans to Chang'an City. The central government will send such a team to escort the wounded soldiers and rescued women and children to Chang'an, and then the Ministry of Households will be responsible for resettling their residences.

Yancheng,

A lodging inn that can be seen everywhere.

The ten miles of wolf smoke is rising, the gold and iron horses, the leading general swung the long knife in his hand, the silver arc of the knife tip turning in the air, - kill!The hunting and murderous spirit spreading in the vast yellow sand, as far as the eye can see, is a tragic scene intertwined with dazzling red and vast yellow.The bright red blood splattered from cutting the enemy's neck with the sword, the red eyes of a person, and the bone-piercing pleasure when the sword held tightly in his hand pierced his chest.

The scene after scene on the battlefield reappeared in his mind, for their parents, wives and children, and thousands of compatriots thousands of miles away.Yumen Pass is the most important barrier in the entire Central Plains. Once the Yumen Pass is broken, Rong and Di cavalry enter the pass. The prosperity of the century has been tossed and fallen, and their parents, wives and children are afraid that they will not be able to straighten their backs for a hundred years under the profound humiliation of being oppressed. For the tens of thousands of soldiers at Yumen Pass, in the end, they still had to fight, on the battlefield, outside Yumen Pass.If the Yumen Pass is broken... such a tragic scene is just imagining and thirsty people can't bear it, not to mention... the soldiers guarding the border have a reason to fight, and the Yumen Pass must not be broken!Lin Ziqing still remembered that he was standing on the high platform of Yumen Pass, loudly proclaiming the new order, and the crowd responded with the thunderous sound of war drums.

The flag commander's bright red flag was still blowing out of the wind, and he loudly threatened to say, "But let the flying generals of Dragon City stay, and don't teach Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain." Only on this vast and majestic battlefield can we truly exaggerate. The brutality of the determination of "not teaching Huma to go to Yinshan Mountain" that cannot be summed up in this sentence is the rhetoric of the literati, but it is even more soul-stirring in the army.

The deafening threat echoed in his ears for an instant, and he felt his eardrums were bulging.

"General!" Zhaokong called out in a low voice.After the dazed eyes were dissipated from the eyes that opened suddenly, what I saw was an inn in the countryside that could not be described as dilapidated. Wake up a little bit.

Lin Ziqing and Zhaokong led their horses and walked on the streets of Yancheng City. Horses are not allowed in the city. In my impression, not only in Chang'an Kyoto, there are often posted regulations on the prohibition of horses in the city at the gates of various cities.After coming out of the dilapidated country inn in the city, the two led their horses and walked up the streets of the city. After leaving the city, they walked fast for a day or two, and Chang'an should be within sight.

These days, the streets of Yancheng are much more lively than usual. It is rare for Lin Ziqing to be free after running fast horses for the past few days. He stretched out his hand along the mane and patted the horse's neck a few times, and then turned towards the horse's face Stroking up and down a few times, running around non-stop for the past few days, if it is an ordinary wild horse, it may lose strength after running for a day and a night, foaming in the mouth, and falling to the ground, it is also thanks to the two army horses selected by him and Zhao Kong The horses sent to the army are much stronger than ordinary horses, what's more, these are two rare horses in the army. A rare benefit.

The horse that Zhaokong was leading was okay, the horse's mouth was gasping for heat from time to time, and it could still see a little bit of fatigue from the many days of running.As for the white horse under General Lin, the neck of the horse was pulled to the side from time to time, and the whole body was not half-colored. The white fur was shiny and shiny, but it still looked very energetic. After stepping on the ground a few times, it seems that he can run for a few days and nights with ease. He looks really restless, and I am afraid that it is only in the hands of General Lin that he is so obedient.

Speaking of which, General Lin's new white horse has such a temper, even the neck of the little soldier horse that usually feeds it cannot be touched at all. The quartermaster who sent the horse once said that Fei It took a lot of effort to surround the horse, and it was a good horse that was caught by several good men under him.Logically speaking, a horse with a stronger temper should be handled by a horseman with a stronger temper, but the horse in General Lin's hands is strange, and several generals in the army who are quite skilled in martial arts also tried to ride it. I have lowered this horse, tried all kinds of martial arts but never succeeded, and I was afraid that my attack would seriously hurt this rare and good horse, so I had to let it go with some pity in the end.

When the little soldier who was usually in charge of raising the horse brought the horse over, his heart was somewhat beating. Unexpectedly, when General Lin touched the horse's neck with his hands, the horse's neck was touched several times. They were all stepping on their hooves, snorting, thinking about the wild and unruly wild horse that was going to fight people desperately, but simply flicked the horse's neck a few times, and actually let General Lin pat his horse a few times obediently. neck, turned on the horse.

Several veterans in the army thought in private that the horse might be a master who can read people. Seeing how good-looking their general was, they fell in love with their general and would not let him go.This is of course a joke. On the one hand, military speeches have always been a bit outspoken. Don’t say it, it’s really like that. On the other hand, there is some kind of good-natured teasing of this young and handsome general. meaning.

When he first came, although the army held some contempt for this young general who was half incompetent in martial arts, however, in the battle of the valley erosion, a series of formations were formed, and the generals were beheaded in front of the formation with one hand to revive the army. The trick of killing chickens and monkeys was played very smoothly. After several times, the soldiers under him still didn't take it seriously, and the veteran generals still had some respect for the young general in their hearts.Respect him for being a general, respect this young general for being able to do what others can't do, what is inconvenient, courage, strategy, all kinds of things.

Zhaokong looked enviously at the white horse that General Lin was holding. Veterans in the army always have some affection for good horses. On the battlefield, many of the horses under the command of veterans are the ones they fought side by side on the battlefield. It can be said that these veterans on the battlefield have the most sincere feelings for horses.

However, on such a rare and leisurely Yancheng street, amidst the curses of vendors along the street, a person suddenly stumbled and panicked on the street, and behind him were several burly bearded men, all dressed in slightly different clothes. The frivolous pink veil, the pink figure is getting closer and closer to him as he runs, if it is not normal, Lin Ziqing will definitely turn sideways with a somewhat pedantic temperament, and this woman can't help but stumble into his arms , tugging at the collar of his clothes, and finally said in panic, "Help me..."

He only felt that this woman was somewhat familiar, so he didn't have time to check it out. However, he waited until he bumped into those clear eyes filled with a bay of springs, and Wu Nong's soft words that belonged to Jiangnan women lingered in his ears, "……help me."

……

In the eighth year of Qingli, Duanmu Xing wrote to impeach Zuo Xiangxian's son-in-law Fu Zongshu, but failed.

In the spring of the ninth year of Qingli, Duanmu Xing wrote a poem "Reciting the World". The crime was disrespectful.Duanmuxing was dispatched to the frontier immediately, and his wife died with hatred. Only his daughter, Duanmu Rong, disappeared years ago and searched everywhere, but could not find it.

Chang'an,

God's House,

The boy in charge of entertaining visitors in the front hall found Zhuge Zhengwo who was sitting alone playing chess with him in the backyard. When he said that there was a visitor, Zhuge Zhengwo was holding a white piece in his right hand and paused slowly, thinking carefully , It is rare for visitors to come to the God Detective Division at this time, but he said with a smile on his face, "You go to Haosheng to entertain first, and I will come later."

I count Zhuge Zheng as an old man in his 60s this year, but he doesn't look as old as his age at all. He has a gray beard, and the sideburns and beard on both sides are neatly combed. His complexion is rosy, and he doesn't look like an old man who has passed the age of ears. According to rumors, Zhuge Zhengwo is a man of literature and martial arts, who is a little proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Judging from my face, Zhuge is more like a good teacher who is outside the court and the opposition with a somewhat refined and bookish air, rather than a former prince and Taifu who was born in the court but failed repeatedly.

Zhuge Zhengyi walked into the hall with his hands behind his back, and he smiled at the people in the hall, "I have already heard that General Sima Zhenyuan, who led the army years ago, was the high-spirited champion of the new division. Lang is so handsome and handsome, and now I can see him, but he is indeed a rare and handsome gentleman in the world."

It is true that after entering the front hall and seeing the appearance of the people in the hall, Zhuge Zhengwo was a bit stunned, but he came back to his senses in a moment, and then his words became quite tactful stand up.Zhuge Zheng, I was smart enough not to ask why a general who was supposed to defend the frontier against foreign enemies would appear in his mansion at that time. The reason for a general who was fighting outside to visit his Shenhou mansion on the charge of bullying the king must be Not many, logically speaking, although the battle ahead is tight, all the good news has been reported a few days ago, which can be regarded as a happy event, but at this time, General Lin, who should appear on the frontier battlefield, appears In Chang'an City...

General Lin tapped the corner of the table in front of him a few times with his fingers, and said, "I have already heard the name of Zhuge Shenhou in the Shenhou Mansion, and now I can see it, it is really a worthwhile trip."

He didn't need to say much about some things, but some people already understood seven or eight points. Although Zhuge Zhengwo was already out of court affairs in name, he often had far more knowledge about court affairs than ordinary officials.Although he had already expected that the frontier would send generals to speak, he didn't expect that this young general would have the guts to risk the world's displeasure by going to Chang'an city once. so fast.

Thinking about it, the amount of military supplies and salaries in shortfall this time is probably much more than he imagined, and it is much more serious.

If a frontier war could no longer be fought, then it was indeed time for the general to return to court.

General Lin said, "The military supplies in the army are only enough for another month." It is not difficult to guess what the rulers were thinking. This time the battle was successful, they must have thought that Rong Di had been beaten by a smuggler, and he would be obedient in the future Withdrew into their nest, however, they misjudged Poria.Although Fu Ling is a female general, her temperament is a bit more arrogant than the usual male. Once she was beaten by him, this girl is stubborn and unwilling to give up easily, let alone her There are still [-] soldiers in hand.

But at this time, the DPRK and the Central Committee have already talked about the peace talks. Do they really think that Rong Di has such a soft temper like them, and will obediently let them manipulate after taking a sap?Peace talks?It is just the wishful thinking of these soft-tempered scholar-bureaucrats, and the other party may not accept their love.

What's more, the news that Yang Zhao led his troops to attack the Marquis of Yong'an has not yet come, and everything has not stopped, but some people have already moved their minds on his military supplies and military silver. You have been detained for a while, internal injustice, weak successor, a smart woman can't cook without rice, let people work for you on the front line, but if you can't even guarantee the most basic military supplies, military salaries, and military rations, this battle is likely to be won It was very difficult.

Zhuge Zhengwo slowly lifted one side of the clothes in the hall and sat down slowly, and then he talked about an old incident in the government recently, "I heard that Li Chang, the son of the Queen Mother's clan, is domineering and loves extremely beautiful women. , and likes extravagance. The queen mother thinks that he is the son of the deceased clan disciple, and she treats him very leniently, and cannot bear to be harsh. A month ago, Li Changfang was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of War." With a sigh, he said, "If you rely on your own strength, how well prepared are you now?"

Lin Ziqing pondered for a moment, but his expression was still extremely light, "No."

General Lin, who has always been very cold-faced, now slowly raised the corners of his stiff lips. If a person is born with a good face, no matter what expression he makes, it must be extremely pleasing to the eye. However, while General Lin's smile was pleasing to the eye at this time, it also made people feel a bit of chill from the bottom of their hearts for no reason.

General Lin said, "It's not my own power, what I want to borrow is the power of the world, the most unstoppable mouth of the world."

After saying that, General Lin consciously bypassed the topic here, and then said slowly, "Mr. Zhuge doesn't need to bother with this matter. However, besides, I have something else to ask."

Zhuge said straight to me, "I will definitely listen to anything that can make you ask me."

General Lin paused and said, "...Duanmu Rong, the daughter of Duanmu Xing."
