The country is not as pretty as the beauty

On the eve of the emperor's expedition, the prefectures and counties near Liaodong were still recruiting troops.

Xue Li joined Zhang Shigui's account, and his outstanding performance in training won Zhang Shigui's favor.

The main force of Dasu's army was mixed with infantry and cavalry, and under infantry, there were various types of arms.

Xue Li is the Modao soldier among the most common armored soldiers. To put it bluntly, he is taken advantage of by running at the front in the battle with poor equipment.

Although Xue Li is excellent, he still needs to rely on his own strength and solid military achievements to climb up. Zhang Shigui has always run the army rigorously and has never favored any subordinates. He has the intention to cultivate Xue Li. It's up to him.

Dasu continued to use the military system of the government, and set up 630 military offices in all provinces, states, and counties in the world, collectively called Zhechong Prefecture.

In the army, the battalion is the basic unit. There are five teams under the battalion, and each team has three groups. Each group has five commanders, each with ten men.Xue Li was a small chief in a small camp, that is, the boss of more than ten people in a military tent.

Ten people huddled together to sleep, at the beginning Xue Li was extremely unaccustomed to it, and he grew up in a family since he was a child, and later he married such a beauty as Liu Huan, now suddenly replaced by so many men, it was really unbearable for him.

Fortunately, as a senior, he can have a larger place, so that he doesn't have to sleep next to them.

"By the way, you just came here today, and I don't know your name yet!"

Now the emperor's edict has come down, and the war is imminent, and these sleeping soldiers don't know when they will go to the battlefield, and they don't know if they will come back.Xue Li tried his best to establish a good relationship with everyone under his account.

"Yuan Seventeen!"

When Xue Li listened to his name, he didn't show any surprise at the name, and just silently recited in his heart that the name of this person's family was too insignificant.

"Xue Li, I will live here with you from today on."

Xue Li's politeness did not attract Yuan Shiqi's good looks, and was still as indifferent as when he first came.

Xue Li thought that he was new here, and he was not tall enough to be bullied easily, so he wanted to take care of him, but he didn't expect him to be hot-faced and cold-ass.

Tian Wuhen chased him all night on a green horse, and the cold wind slapped his face so hard that his lips were cracked.

The marching speed of the cavalry was very fast, and Tian Wuhen hurried forward, and the water army under Zhang Liang's charge had already begun to cross the water.He has to hurry up.

He must not miss the battle opportunity for his own selfishness, he said silently in his heart.

He finally arrived at Yingzhou before dawn, but due to overwork, he was carried into the barracks by Qing Zou, which frightened Li Jitian Daozong and the group of soldiers.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhongjing came with the army. Outside the tent of the emperor, Tiandaozong walked back and forth anxiously.

"Okay, you can't do this." Li Ji was the general who accompanied the emperor through life and death. He firmly believed that this young emperor was an extraordinary person.

Tiandaozong was worried. After all, he was protecting the emperor. He went to Yingzhou first, leaving the emperor alone... Now that this situation happened again, could he not be in a hurry? He was in a hurry more than anyone else.

Zhang Zhongjing took his pulse in the tent and wiped off his sweat!

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" One must know that if something happened to the Son of Heaven at this time, the Eastern Expedition would be impossible, and the morale of the army would be disturbed.Zhang Shigui was forced to retire, and now he is reused again. He hopes that this Eastern Expedition will serve the court again.

"Don't worry, generals. Your Majesty is overworked. Just rest for a day."

Zhang Zhongjing's words let everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't say anything about today's affairs!" The wind outside the tent never stopped, and a charcoal fire was burning inside the tent. He only woke up when the sun went down, and when he woke up, he realized that he was in the military camp.Frowning, he called Li Ji and Zhang Shigui to the tent, and gave the first order in a weak voice.

"But Your Majesty today..."

His brows frowned even tighter, there must be all sorts of suspicions in the army now.

"It seems that we have to find a way. What do you think of Maogong?" Li Ji was given to Li Ji by the marching chief of the Liaodong Road. Li Ji also contributed to the destruction of the Eastern Turks. For Tian Wuhen, he valued Li Ji more.

Perhaps it was because he learned that Li Jing was originally under King Qin's command, so he deliberately alienated the old general.During this Eastern Expedition, Li Jing recuperated at home.

"Now the morale of the army is indeed a bit scattered. Since His Majesty is marching eastward, you should condemn Yuan Gaijin's crimes to boost the morale of the army."

"Bring a pen and paper!"

The next day, when the army was still discussing why Tian Wuhen returned all night, the Emperor's edict came down and spread it in the army. offense.

What does the edict of the emperor mean? It is written by the emperor himself, which means that the emperor is very good!As for what I saw the night before...it's best to pretend I didn't see it.

This time, [-] navy troops, [-] army troops, and [-] troops attacked Goguryeo.

Yingzhou stationed [-] infantry, including Xue Li.

The war is about to break out, and if you don't want to die, you have to stand in front of the martial arts and practice martial arts, especially for the Mo Dao soldiers in the infantry battalion, who have a very low chance of surviving.No one wants to die!

Although they are infantry, they are also equipped with bows and crossbows, but there are only thirty arrows, and they are equipped with horizontal knives and round shields.

"stand up!"

In the dusty school grounds, Xue Li held a horizontal knife, pointing at Yuan Shiqi, who was knocked away by him with the knife, and coaxed angrily.

Yuan Shiqi's eyes were red with anger, and he stared at the man who took extra care of him.

I am a southerner, and it is normal to be darker than women. Compared with myself, this is not much darker. Compared with those men who are five big and three thick, they are actually a lot whiter.

And after many days of contact, he can feel Xue Li's meticulousness, which is something very few men can do.

Why, why does this man push himself step by step?If he didn't practice well and died on the battlefield, he deserved it... But Yuan Shiqi didn't want to die, so he and Xue Li practiced desperately day after day.But Yuan Shiqi and Xue Li had no reason, why did he care so much.

Xue Li thought the same as him, he didn't want to die, but he thought one more thing, he didn't want the people around him to die.

After finally becoming familiar with the environment, Xue Li didn't want him to be left alone in the end.

Yuan Shiqi picked up the horizontal knife covered with loess again, and slashed with all his strength, one knife, two knife...

Xue etiquette retreated, "Okay, that's it, come again!"

Yingzhou is on standby, and Zhang Liang's letter has not yet arrived. Once it arrives, Tian Wuhen will give an order to take down Liaoyang City, which Liang Chao failed to attack for a long time.

"How is the situation at Zhang Liang's side?"

In the school grounds, Tian Wuhen, who had returned to normal, led Tiandaozong to inspect.

"It's the north wind, and the waters of the Bohai Sea are uncertain...but everything is as usual."

Unfortunately, he was in a good mood today, and came to the school from the coach's camp.

Looking at the soldiers in the school field who were sweating profusely in the cold weather and practicing hard, then their eyes were fixed on the two young men holding real knives in the middle of the school field.Can't help but think of when he was so young.

"What do Chengfan think of those two?"

Tiandaozong followed the eyes of the emperor and looked at a place a hundred meters away, where two thin men were competing.

If you look carefully, you can see that these two are thin and thin among men. If you look more carefully, you can see that even three or five people from this school may not be able to win those two.

"You can't judge by appearance. Although the guy on the left is short, he is very human and capable, and he can be made."

Tian Wuhen shook his head: "Although the taller man was beaten back, watch his steps carefully."

Tian Daozong took a special look at the man's feet according to the emperor's words, "The steps are steady, not trembling at all..."

"This man has been practicing martial arts for several years, even Cheng Fan and you are not bad!" Tian Wuhen left cheerfully after speaking.

Tiandaozong was puzzled, how could the emperor see how good the man was with just a few movements.

Back in the meeting hall, Tian Wuhen asked Li Ji to choose a hundred dead soldiers for him, firstly to protect his own safety, and secondly to prepare for emergencies.

The meaning of a dead man is to have a heart that is not afraid of death, live and die for the king, die loyal!

The city of Liaoyang is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In the past, Emperor Liang Yang's entire army failed to capture Liaoyang. Instead, it caused riots, and the whole country rebelled.

After the emperor left, Tiandaozong went to the place where the two men had discussed before.

"What's your name?" said Xue Li, who had just stopped the Tiandaozong Dynasty.

Round-neck gown, Mingguang armor...the general's attire, but I don't know which general it is.

"General." Xue Li saluted Yuan Shiqi.

I find it a bit strange that on weekdays, these generals only inspect for a look, and they don't know how to ask an inconspicuous soldier by name.

"Xue Li is here."

"Where are you from?"

"Hedong Jiangzhou!"

"Hedong..." Tian Daozong didn't think deeply, but cared about what the emperor said, would this Xue Li be on par with him?Looking soft and weak.

"Ben wants to compete with you, how dare you?"

Xue Li and Yuan Shiqi looked at each other, at a loss, why did they check their household registration as soon as they came up, and even competed with each other, a general competed with soldiers, you are really not ashamed, general.

"Bold, you two, do you know that this is His Highness King Rencheng of Dali Qing, since His Highness asked Ken to compete with you, he thinks highly of you!"

Several guards of Tiandaozong couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly.

Only then did Xue Li and Yuan Shiqi realize that the young man standing in front of them, who was similar to them, was Rencheng King Tiandaozong.

In the war against the Turks, Tiandaozong went to northern Xinjiang with Li Jing at a young age and defeated the Turks in Lingzhou.He was worshiped as the governor of Lingzhou, and the emperor specially recalled him and Tian Xiaogong during the Eastern Expedition.

"Xue Li doesn't understand why the prince wants to compete with such an insignificant person like Li?"

Tiandaozong felt that Xue Li's cautiousness might be right, "Before this king accompanied His Majesty to inspect, His Majesty took a look at you and said that your kung fu is comparable to this King."

Born in a family of military generals in Guanzhong, and his father died on the battlefield, Tiandaozong is naturally dissatisfied with the emperor's evaluation of Xue Li, a person who has never been on the battlefield!

Tiandaozong mentioned that the emperor had been here, and he also watched their competition. Shiyuan Shiqi was stunned, this subtle move was noticed by Xue Li.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Before Xue Li agreed, Tiandaozong drew his sword and faced Xue Li, but Xue Li had no choice but to deal with it.

Xue Li has all the strength, acquired from martial arts, and also accumulated from doing farm work on weekdays. It is not inferior to Tiandaozong, a young prince who went to the battlefield at a young age.

After a few rounds, it evened out.

"Good guy!"

Tian Daozong took the sword, and didn't feel shameful, but was happy. Dasu has many talents, and he was happy for his emperor brother from the bottom of his heart.

"How did General Zhang bring you here? Didn't he just bury you!"

"The general has always been strict in running the army, and he has never made an inch of merit, so it should be here."

Tiandaozong thought about it, and felt that it was true. His current status did not depend entirely on his status as a clan. Most of it was due to his military achievements and his own ability.

"Practice hard, wait for the war to start, I am waiting for you in the meeting hall!" Tian Daozong patted Xue Li on the shoulder.

"What's wrong with you?" Xue Li asked Yuan Shiqi who was stunned. It seemed that Xue Li's eyes were red when he saw Shi Qi.This is not the first time I saw it.

A big man with red eyes every day?

"Excuse me, why did you keep a hand just now?" Yuan Shiqi didn't want to answer him, diverting his attention.

Xue Li smiled: "He's the little prince, if I win against him, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him, but I didn't expect that this king of Rencheng has a good measure!"

Tonight the emperor was happy for some reason, and rewarded all the soldiers with wine and meat. Li Ji's words went to the battalions, and the commanders of each battalion selected five people from each battalion, and then gathered together to screen out 100 people.

6 people choose [-] people, how small is this chance, [-] dead soldiers belong directly to the emperor, isn't that equivalent to the Imperial Forest Army, what an honor it is to be able to guard the emperor's side.

However, the meaning of a dead man is to pay a price. First of all, life and death must be ignored. In other words, one's own life is exchanged for a lifetime of wealth.

If the Eastern Expedition survived smoothly, then those among the one hundred dead men who survived will undoubtedly be reused by the emperor and become prosperous.

Living to death is more exciting than taking the head of an enemy army for a title.

"Are you going to participate in the selection of the dead?"

Xue Li looked at Yuan Shiqi on the list and coaxed him loudly.

"What can't you do?"

"You know very well that the dead men by the emperor's side will only die in the end. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."

"What does that have to do with Shichang?"

"... "

Holding the wine and meat rewarded by the emperor, Xue Li and Yuan Shiqi sat down on a hillside near the military camp, blowing the cold wind, and looked at the sky full of stars.

"I said, what are you working so hard for?" If Xue Li remembered correctly, Yuan Shiqi's message said that both his parents had died, and he was an orphan with no relatives and no reason. He joined the army just to earn a living.

"Then why are you working so hard?"

"My wife."

The words spoken by this man are so gentle, and the same is true of his daily actions. He went to this narrow-death battlefield just for a woman, and Shi Qi couldn’t help feeling sad in his heart. Sometimes Xue Li and his childhood partner are really similar, but Xue Li is too much To share the benevolence of a woman, perhaps Xue Li has not really touched the battlefield, and has not been stained with blood.

"Don't ask me, what's the matter with you?"

"what?"

"There was an uproar in the military about His Majesty the day before yesterday. You asked around about His Majesty's situation...you mentioned His Majesty several times...and now you are going again..."

"enough!"

Xue Li's words were interrupted loudly by him, and Yuan Shiqi was indeed angry at how smart this man was.

"I have my own reasons. Why should Shichang care so much about a man? Or is Shichang a woman?"

Xue Li sighed, and said, "If you don't want to mention it, then Xue Li just doesn't talk about it, but don't make fun of it, it's no small matter!!"

Teased by Xue Li's panic-stricken appearance, Yuan Shiqi's face, which hadn't smiled for many years, finally became moved. She didn't expect Xue Li to have such a cute side.

"In the future, if you and I are still alive, I will tell you."

Xue Li looked at Shiqi, who was looking at the sky full of stars, with broken tears in his amber eyes.

The author has something to say: Guess who Yuan Shiqi is.

In addition, at what age did the emperor decree to recognize Princess Taiping from Tianlingyue.

How old is she now, I forgot...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Generation after generation, it feels like His Majesty has lived for a long time, and it's time for Tianzhe to talk about love.
