Liang Jianyan

The night is like a veil, draped over this magnificent palace.Looking up, the vast and boundless sky is covered with dots of stars, vast and shocking, which makes people sigh how small they are.It's just that the moonlight was half covered by the clouds, making this dark night pure.

Standing by the edge of Qinghu Lake, looking at the sparkling lake surface, Yan Chen couldn't help thinking of the past—the entanglement between him and Liang Xuanliang when he was a child, the confrontation between him and Liang Xuanliang after that, drinking and enjoying the scenery with Liang Xuanliang, and his relationship with Liang Xuanliang. Liang Xuanliang turned against each other...

Heh, it's not like turning against each other, is it?We are, after all, born enemies.

"Why did you come here?" Liang Xuanliang was going to look for Yan Chen in the barracks, but the palace servant said that Yan Chen was waiting for him in Qinghu.As soon as he walked to Qinghu Lake, he saw Yan Chen standing alone by the lake, his body seemed to be covered with moonlight.Perhaps it was a bit cold tonight, and the moonlight was also a bit lonely and desolate, dyeing his body.

Yan Chen turned around and laughed when he saw Liang Xuanliang, saying that he had received the map?

Liang Xuanliang also laughed, saying that of course she received it.

You co-authored with Qi Zhaoyan to discuss the matter of fighting the Turks. How can you still not know what happened in court this morning?

Yan Chen nodded, "There must be a bunch of ministers objecting, right?"

"So what about opposition?" Liang Xuanliang looked into the distance and said, "I am the emperor of Great Liang, and I have the final say on the country and mountains of Great Liang."

The young man in front of him is so proud that everything in this world is under his control—he is the Son of Heaven, above all ten thousand people, and his behavior is as good as pointing the country, turning the clouds and rains, this is the emperor.

Yan Chen looked at Liang Xuanliang's profile, then turned to the lake.Liang Xuanliang leaned closer to him, saying that I was still puzzled, why did you suddenly figure it out and agreed to lead troops to fight?

Could it be that you have finally calmed down and are willing to listen to me?

"I am a Han Chinese, and if foreigners bully me, I will fight back."

"Yo, it's rare that you have such awareness."

"However, I'm not helping you fight for nothing." Yan Chen looked at Liang Xuanliang and said that I have one condition.

After I help you defeat the Turks, you will let me leave the imperial capital.

Immediately, Liang Xuanliang looked at Yan Chen in amazement with a shock in his heart—still with that calm face, and his words were as plain as water, as if what they were talking about was nothing but trivial matters.

"...What if I don't agree?"

"Then His Majesty, please hire someone else to lead the troops."

"Yan Junran!" The loud voice broke the silence of the night, Liang Xuanliang shouted: "What qualifications do you have to threaten me?!! Do you want to die now!!!"

Yan Chen didn't move at all, he said slowly: "If you have to kill me, I can't help it."

Anyway, I have passed through the gate of hell once. My family, country, and world are gone. If I am trapped in a prison for the rest of my life, life and death will be mine.

His words were plain and gentle, but they pierced into Liang Xuanliang's heart word by word.Liang Xuanliang looked at his face, wishing to poke a hole in his face, but Yan Chen just lowered her eyes and remained silent.

...You want to leave me that much?

"Now I don't want to compete with you anymore, you can be your emperor with peace of mind." Yan Chen said, "I only hope that you will be diligent in governing and loving the people, and don't let the people of the world down."

Don't let me regret losing to you.

"...I understand." Liang Xuanliang suddenly laughed.He took a few steps forward, picked up a pebble, and smashed it hard into the lake. "I will go to war in three days, Ai Qing, don't let me down."

Yan Chen looked at the stone splashing layers of water on the lake, said "Zunzhi" and left.

Under the moonlight, the only thing that accompanied him was the mournful bell.

Three days later, the Emperor of Great Liang practiced it for all the soldiers at the gate of the imperial capital.The [-] troops lined up in front of the city gate, looking like a dragon from a distance, magnificent and majestic.The Guangming Armor shone brightly under the sunlight, as if swearing the determination of these soldiers to protect their families and the country.

Liang Xuanliang is wearing a black crown suit, with the sun and the moon on her shoulders and the stars on her back.He went to the front of the army—the marching general stood at the forefront.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. The Turks invaded our Han land and bullied our people. How can we wait for our people to sit and wait for death?" He raised his wine glass and said loudly: "I am here today to practice for my soldiers in Daliang. , All the soldiers should work together to fight against the enemy and defend the country!"

"Fight the enemy with all our strength, defend our home and country! Fight with all our strength, defend our home and our country!" The shouts of the soldiers were deafening and boosted morale.They drank the wine in their cups in one gulp, resolutely, with great ambitions in their hearts.

Walking in front of Yang Heng, Liang Xuanliang said, "General Yang will have to work hard for this expedition. I hope you will live up to my trust and return to the court as soon as possible." When he said the last sentence, he looked at the man standing beside him. Yan Chen.Yan Chen met his gaze, didn't know how to react, so he could only look away.

Seeing Yan Chen's reaction like this, Liang Xuanliang always felt something stuck in her chest.He walked up to Yan Chen, "I have something to give to Yan Qing." Du Guanxuan came up with a wooden box, he opened the wooden box, took out the contents, and handed it to Yan Chen.

Yan Chen looked at the object in his hand, a little surprised - it was Feiyan's dagger.

"A sword has no eyes, I hope you can protect yourself, don't lose my face."

There was obviously no concern in his tone, but Yan Chen felt that his voice seemed to carry a warm current, spreading from his ears to his whole body.He couldn't help looking up at Liang Xuanliang, but when their eyes met, he didn't know what to say.

In the end, he just said, "I am sure to live up to Your Majesty."

Liang Xuanliang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "I will remember Yan Qing's words."

"All officers and men obey the order and go out!"

The marching team marched forward, and the bell rang for a while, but the passionate military song couldn't hide the sadness of parting.

Liang Xuanliang stood in front of the city gate, watching Yan Chen's figure drift away.

The Great Liang army traveled day and night, and finally reached Baitong within ten days.As soon as they arrived in Baitong, the county guard Zhuang Zixian immediately discussed with Guan You and others how to fight the battle. In the past few days, the Turkic army has advanced another 5000 miles, and even a team of 3000 troops is stationed outside the city of Baitong. Qisha Pass.The scouts came to report that this time the Turkic army was smaller than our army, but they brought a [-]-strong cavalry.

"It's the windy season now, and the Qisha Pass outside Baitong County is full of yellow sand." Zhuang Zixian was really anxious, saying that my Han horses are not suitable for desert warfare, what should I do!

Yang Heng felt that Zhuang Zixian was a bit worried, and said: "My warhorses in Daliang are also carefully bred, and the soldiers are also drilled day and night. Could it be better than the [-] Turkic cavalry? Besides, his Turkic troops are [-] fewer than ours. , why are you so worried?"

"The Turkic people have learned to ride and shoot since they were young, and their horses have been galloping in the grasslands and Gobi all year round. Naturally, they are better at fighting in the desert than our cavalry." Not necessarily better than them.”

"Yan joining the army means that our soldiers in Great Liang will be crushed to death by Turkic barbarians?"

Yan Chen smiled and said that General Yang would be wrong.

The Turkic invasion was premeditated, and must have been well prepared.What's more, my one hundred thousand army has been traveling day and night, and it is exhausted at this time.The Turks sent people to Qisha Pass to test us.If we attack rashly at this time, we will definitely run out of energy, and instead let the Turks take advantage.

Yang Heng felt that Yan Chen's words were reasonable, and nodded in agreement, "Then organize the team first, and attack after a few days."

"No." Yan Chen retorted, "If we wait a few days later, the Turkic army may have to march another ten miles, and the place where the two armies fought is too close to Baitong, and the people may be hurt."

"This..." Yang Heng lost his mind for a while - he used to be only a deputy general, and he would fight wherever the general told him to fight, but now he was asked to lead the troops, although he had a passion for it, but he was helplessly lacking in strategy.

Yan Chen naturally knew his difficulties, so he walked to the map and pointed to the place where the Turkic army was stationed, "It only takes half a day's journey from here to Qishaguan. If there is a war here, 5000 troops will not be enough, but they will support you." The rapidity. After our army is exhausted and then confronts the fine cavalry, there is really no chance of winning."

Yang Hengtong looked at the map and said, what if we take a detour and attack the Turkic army from the west?

"The terrain in the west is dangerous, and it's inconvenient to march, so don't do it." Yan Chen looked at the marks on the map, and suddenly saw a river in the west.

Why haven't I seen this river before?

"This is a river that was newly built a few years ago." Zhuang Zixian said that the northwest was short of water, so the imperial court built this river to connect the water to support the people.However, the river has not yet been diverted, and the inside is still dry.

Yan Chen looked at the river, and a flash of light flashed in his mind. "Mr. Zhuang, if this river is diverted now, will there be any problems?"

"There should be no problem, but we need to inform the Huaizhou Jiedu envoy. But this is the fastest, and it will take three days."

"Three days is enough." Yan Chen turned to Yang Heng and said, "General, Yan would like to lend you an infantry soldier transferred from the Jiangnan area."

Yang Heng was taken aback—what do you want infantry for?

Yan Chen smiled, and pointed his index finger up the river along the map, pointing at the rear of the Turkic troops.Yang Heng suddenly realized that it was a good strategy for Yan to join the army!

After discussing the business with the generals, Yan Chen returned to the tent.Young Young had already prepared lunch, and when he saw him come back, he immediately took the medicine and urged him to drink it.

"You, why are you becoming more and more mother-in-law recently?"

"The subordinate cares about the adults!" Ever since Yan Chen was imprisoned, Young Qing felt as if the sky had fallen in his heart.Although he didn't know what mistake Yan Chen made that offended Shengyan, he still prayed to the heavens to save Yan Chen's life.

God, I still heard my voice. My lord, you are safe and sound now, and you have joined the army. It is really hard work!

Yan Chen couldn't help laughing when he heard that he was so happy.He said that you are pure-minded and willing to follow me.

"You are my lord! Of course I want to follow you!" Young Qing smirked, "Drink your medicine quickly, lord! Medical Supervisor Bai Xu has specially ordered you to drink it with your own eyes."

"Just now you said that I was your lord, but now I'm with Bai Xu?" Shaking his head helplessly, Yan Chen sighed: This Bai Xu is really true, and I'm afraid that I will throw away the medicine.

But Young said, Doctor Bai said, if you don't drink the medicine, His Majesty will be unhappy, and if His Majesty is unhappy, he will not be spared.

The movements of his hands couldn't help but stagnate, Yan Chen looked at the bowl of soup medicine, with a trace of emotion lingering in his heart.

...Why are you still so childish.

He raised his head and drank the medicine, maybe after drinking it for a long time, he couldn't taste whether it was bitter or sweet.

"Master Joining the Army is bad!" A soldier entered the tent and knelt down and said, "Lieutenant Zuo and General Qiu Zhen of Baitong's internal army are quarreling?"

Yan Chen frowned, "Have you reported it to General Yang?"

The soldier was trembling, saying that it was related to two generals at this time, and his subordinates did not dare to tell General Yang.

Yan Chen felt a bit of a headache - before Zuo Zhiqing wanted to let Zuo Duo go out as a lieutenant general, but Liang Xuanliang refuted it, and only gave him the military position of a school lieutenant.This child is young and energetic, so he feels proud all over, and he is even more unconvinced by Yan Chen's sudden "joining the army", and he made trouble for Yan Chen a lot on the way to the army.Just when he arrived in Baitong, this brat quarreled with Qiu Peiyuan again, which really added to his confusion.

Liang Xuanliang, Liang Xuanliang, I think I not only have to help you fight the country, but also help you take care of the children.

However, Zuo Duo didn't know what Yan Chen was thinking—he aspired to be a hero galloping on the battlefield since he was a child, so he studied military books hard and practiced martial arts diligently. , was snatched away by Yan Chen.

...And I have to be angry with you people!

"Without the orders of the chief general and deputy general, Baitong's internal army is not allowed to move." Qiu Peiyuan looked down on these aristocratic children the most, especially the domineering kid like Zuo Duo.They quarreled endlessly, and even started fighting, but finally the soldiers beside them stopped them.

With a straight face, Qiu Peiyuan said: "Yan Canjun said that the internal army will be stationed in Baitong City and will not waver."

You are a small lieutenant, why do you criticize our internal army!

"Aren't you just listening to that Yan Chen!" Zuo Duo became angry when this Zuo Duo was mentioned - now that the war is critical, after Yan Chen arrived in Baitong, he didn't immediately organize the army to attack, but let the army rest and rectify.The two Turkic teams are still at Qisha Pass, how can they just wait like this!

"So you want to take the internal army to fight Qisha Pass?" A steady voice sounded, Zuo Duo turned his head - Yan Chen walked towards them with a very serious expression.Qiu Peiyuan quickly saluted Yan Chen, but Zuo Duo was not afraid, looked straight at Yan Chen, and said: "I will take 3 internal troops, and I will definitely be able to take back Qishaguan!"

It's better than your timid style!

"It's a pity that I'm your chief now, you have to listen to me. Come!" Yan Chen said loudly: "There is a fight in Zuoduo's army, which violates the military law. For his first offense, he will be fined for three days of confinement."

Hurry up and take him down!

"Yes!"

A few soldiers came up to arrest Zuo Duo, although he was unwilling, but he had to listen to Yan Chen's words - he was just a little captain.But he was still impatient, and when he passed Yan Chen, he cursed "the remnants of the previous dynasty".

Yan Chen's eyes moved—these four words again.He hasn't heard these four words for a long time since he came out of prison.

...What about the remnants of the previous dynasty, you still have to listen to me?

Zuo Duo was restrained in the tent, and Yan Chen's ears could be regarded as clean.In the daytime of the third day, he and Guan You trained the Jiangnan infantry—it was impossible to confront the Turkic army head-on, and traveling around the west would delay the schedule, and the river channel was of great help.The infantry went up the river, and in one night they could reach the rear of the large Turkic army. At that time, they would directly destroy the food and grass in the arsenal behind them, and then go down the river.The Turks must chase after them, and when they are about to reach the middle of the road, they will be swept away by the flood.At this time, if the sluice gates are closed in the lower part of the river, the river will surely swell, and the Turkic army will not be able to get through even if they think about it.If fighting in water, the water skills of the Jiangnan infantry must be better than those of the Turks, and they will definitely injure the Turks when they fall.

"My lord, it's time to drink the medicine." Young Qing never forgets to urge Yan Chen every time, he takes the map from Yan Chen's hand away, saying that the medical supervisor sent a letter a few days ago, asking you to drink the medicine before you get busy.

Yan Chen was a little stunned - I don't know if Bai Xu said it himself.

...Maybe it was Liang Xuanliang who said it.

"Master Joining the Army!" A soldier shouted as he entered the door: "Master Joining the Army, Colonel Zuo, he brought his trusted troops to Qisha Pass!"

"what?!!"
