The country is not as pretty as the beauty

Chapter 184 The Danger of Liaohe River

Shi Qi was carried back to the tent by Xue Li. When Xue Li picked him up, Xue Li's heart thumped. He lowered his head and looked at the blood-stained Shi Qi without thinking too much. Although he was unconscious, he was still conscious. He knew who was holding him. Feeling relieved, it didn't take long for Zhang Shigui to come with the military doctor.

"General!"

Zhang Shigui paralyzed his paralyzed hands, and motioned for the military doctor to take care of Shiqi's injuries.

"The pulse condition doesn't seem to be serious. It's just that the muscles and bones are hurt, but it's not serious. It will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

"But...you can clearly hear the sound of bones colliding, doctor, take a good look!" Xue Li said anxiously, if he misunderstood the doctor, he might ruin the rest of his life.

"Xue Li, Imperial Physician Zhang is the imperial physician in the palace, and his diagnosis can't be wrong."

"General, this is strange to say, I don't know if it's the surprise of his bones, or he is a drug user..." The imperial physician looked at the confused Yuan Shiqi with doubts.

"He was handpicked by His Majesty to join the Tiance Army, as long as there is no problem!"

"Wait for the next official to prescribe some medicines for recuperation. Just don't let him do too heavy things these few days."

Zhang Shigui nodded. After everyone in the tent went out, the air froze instantly, and the blood from Shi Qi's left arm slowly seeped out.

"The wound must have opened again just now!"

Originally, he wanted to strip Shiqi's clothes to check the injury, but it seemed that Shiqi's vigilance was too strong, so he opened Xue Li's hand.

Xue Li frowned, it doesn't matter if a daughter of mine looks at the wounds of a man like you, you!

"It's not too much trouble."

Unable to resist Shiqi, Xue Li had no choice but to put the golden sore medicine brought by Zhang Shigui next to Shiqi, and then got up to go outside the tent.

"They all went to training, no one will come at this moment."

Xue Li looked at Shi Qi's appearance again, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, even if he is like this, Shi Qi can't get Qi Qi even a little better for him, is this person's heart made of iron?

"The medicine was bestowed by the emperor, and the emperor still loves his soldiers very much!"

Xue Li's purpose in saying this was undoubtedly to make Shi Qi feel sorry for the emperor and not to do anything stupid.

Xue Li went out, and when he went out, he seemed to hear Shi Qi say thank you in a low voice.

There were only seventeen people left in the tent. After sitting up with difficulty, they looked at the wound on their arm. The wound that hadn't healed very well was now open again, and the wound was enlarged. The blood stained the clothes on the left arm. All are dyed red.

The small white porcelain bottle is very delicate, it can be seen that it is something from the royal family. Shi Qi tightly held the small white bottle and put it on his chest. Knowing is a kind of indifference.

The ruler is decisive in killing and attacking. In the few years that he has not seen him, has his emperor's heart become so cold?

In the meeting hall, several chiefs of the infantry gathered here.

There was news from Pyongyang, and there were two letters.

The emperor only read what Zhang Liang sent to the generals in the meeting hall.

As soon as the navy crossed the Bohai Sea, before they had time to set up camp, they were robbed by Goguryeo.

The generals were delighted with Li Ji's conviction. Liaoyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if there is no reinforcements, it will not last long.

"So, Zhang Jian, you cross the Liaohe River on a Qingqi to reconnaissance form."

The list of the Tiance Army has also been released, and Zhang Liang has successfully landed in Pyongyang, and the battle is finally about to start.

"According to the order!"

"Afterwards, when I want to capture Liaoyang City, Li Ji and Daozong each throw their horses and horses, respectively, in Xincheng, Xuantu pinches."

"Leader!"

About how to attack, we have discussed it before going out. As for how to win, that is the general's business. The emperor only needs the result, but Zhang Jian and Tian Wuhen just let him find out the bottom line first, so that he can make a move after finding out. A heavy task, but also an extremely dangerous task.

Zhang Jian led the army to throw hundreds of Qingqi and set off from Yingzhou.

Tian Wuhen returned to the camp, opened the secret seal, and Li Ji was beside him.

The emperor was unmoved, but Li Ji was more nervous than the emperor when he saw the letter.

"Zhang Liang is not handsome!"

Tian Wuhen seemed to have known it a long time ago, "It is indeed not handsome!"

"Fortunately, His Majesty arranged for Zhang Jinshu to assist, otherwise..."

"No problem!" Tian Wuhen put the densely packed letters into the bonfire, and the small yellow and white note gradually turned into ashes.

"Report!"

It was already dark when the cavalry came to play the report. At this time, Zhang Jian should have been on the Liao River in the west of Liaoning.

"Did Zhang Jian come back so soon?"

Li Ji, Tiandaozong and the emperor discussed on the sand table how to attack the terrain of Liaoyang to be safe.

"Report, General Zhang is on the edge of the Liao River and has not crossed for a long time."

Tian Wuhen frowned, "What's the reason?"

Xiaobing recalled the situation at that time, "It seems that the Liao River suddenly flooded."

Tian Wuhen coughed softly, "Order him to come back, don't embarrass me."

"only!"

A great general like this is ashamed, Tian Wuhen presses his head, this is marching and fighting, this Jian...

"My lord!" Tian Daozong stood up and clasped his fists.

"What's the matter with Chengfan?"

"I am willing to throw a hundred horses to go!"

This sentence surprised Tian Wuhen. Who is Zhang Jian, but he has lived decades longer than Tiandaozong, but he has been in the battlefield for a long time, and his current official positions are all veterans who have accumulated military achievements. Zhang Jian is afraid of him. Crossing the Liaoshui, not to mention a junior like Tiandaozong.

Tian Wuhen laughed loudly: "Okay! You are indeed my good brother."

"When is Chengfan going to come back?" The form of reconnaissance is extremely dangerous, and it's not certain whether he can come back, but Tian Wuhen believes that he can come back.

"My lord, please spend 20 days running and walking, stay for [-] days to observe the landscape and form, and then see the Holy One."

"it is good!"

Tiandaozong led the emperor to make preparations. He didn't go to watch the war horses pack up, but went to Zhang Shigui's account.

"My lord is looking for my minister late at night, what's the matter?"

Tiandaozong has always had a good relationship with Li Ji, Zhang Shigui and other veteran officials. He said with a smile: "In the morning, His Majesty sent Zhang Jian to cross the Liaoshui River for reconnaissance. Just now he came to report that Zhang Jian was afraid of the swollen Liaohe River and dared not cross it. I asked for orders to replace him." Zhang Jian is about to go to Liaodong, and his nephew came to ask his uncle to borrow someone."

Zhang Jian dare not cross the Liao River?This surprised Zhang Shigui, King Rencheng asked for orders to replace Zhang Jian, which made Zhang Shigui show the same expression as the emperor, and then he was full of admiration: "Your Majesty is so courageous, who do you want to borrow from?"

"Nephew wants to borrow, Xue Li under uncle's account!"

Zhang Shigui's tiger eyes rolled, and he laughed: "Human, you just borrow it, the next generation will be awesome!"

"So, thank you uncle."

With Zhang Shigui's words, Tiandaozong took two personal soldiers to a camp with a big banner with Zhang characters written on it.

Xue Li took care of Shi Qi after training.

"You...why are you so nice to people?" Shi Qi said awkwardly, sitting on the bed with his face turned away.Obviously, Shi Qi couldn't say the word me.

For the sake of convenience, Xue Li moved his bed to the one closest to him. He occupied the largest space, and it was vacant anyway, and he could see that he didn't seem to fit in with others on weekdays.

"You are injured, I am your boss, this is an obligation."

There is no chief executive who is as meticulous as Xue Li, and Shi Qi is undoubtedly an exception.

Shi Qi turned around with disbelief in his amber eyes.

"..." Xue Li said lightly: "Sometimes looking at you reminds me of my wife!"

Looking at a grown-up man and thinking of his wife?What nonsense is this!

The two people in this army are suspicious of each other, the identity of the other party, sometimes they really look like women, other people will not guess, because they are a group of men who naturally don't understand women.

But every suspicion is overruled.

Xue Li mentioned his wife not once or twice, and every time he mentioned it, he would be very energetic and giggle. Shi Qi understood that this was Xue Li's love for his wife.

"Xue Li, take all your weapons, Yingkou, General Tian is looking for you!"

It was the captain of the Seventh Battalion who called Xue Li. Xue Li was still talking to Shi Qi. After today, Shi Qi didn't seem to reject him that much.

"General Tian?" The surname is Tian, ​​and he is also a general. Who else can be in the entire camp except Tiandaozong.

The actions of the cavalry battalion spread to the infantry battalion. This was a premonition that the war was about to start, and it also foretelled that they still had about one month to go.

Xue Li packed up his outfit.

"What did they tell you to do?"

"Maybe there is something wrong!" Xue Li remembered that Zhang Shigui once said that if there is an important task, he will be assigned to Xue Li, and he will not be buried.

"Can you come back?"

Xue Li smiled: "I promised my wife that I will not go back until I become famous. How can I die before I become famous!" Success and fame come second, and Xue Li does not want to let down Liu Huan's love, let alone let her be a widow at such a young age.

Xue Li tightly grasped the ring-shouldered knife in his waist, and left the tent with strides.

"My lord?"

Seeing Xue Li coming, Tian Daozong led the horse over with a smile, and handed the reins to Xue Li.

The soldiers following behind him will be a well-made lance, Xue Li has seen such a lance in his own home.Only cavalry are equipped... and such a fine horse is obviously qualified to use at the general level.

"Can you ride a horse?"

Xue Li nodded.

"Are you afraid of death?"

Xue Li nodded again.He was afraid, of course he was afraid, if he died, wouldn't Huan'er become a widow?

Tiandaozong said disdainfully, "A man should stand upright, how can he achieve great things if he is greedy for life and afraid of death."

"Those who achieve great things must first have a destiny. Going to death is something that people who have no worries do. If you have concerns about rituals, you dare not go to death lightly."

Tiandaozong laughed loudly when he heard Xue Li's words: "You dare to say it, not bad!"

"I asked Manager Zhang to bring you here, and this fine horse that was paid tribute to the Western Regions will be yours!"

"My lord hasn't said what he's doing!"

Before Xue Li finished asking, Tiandaozong had already got on the horse and whipped his whip.

Xue Li had no choice but to take the spear and get on the horse.

"Drive!" Xue Li has been longing for a horse for a long time, but his family has declined. I don't know how long it has been since he rode a horse. The last time was when he got married——

But Xue Li's equestrian skills are undoubtedly not inferior to Tiandaozong.

"My lord, you haven't told me what to do?"

Xue Li's voice rang in his ears, "You boy, you can catch up with me."

Two horses galloped against the cold wind in the army, Tiandaozong stopped at Dayingkou.

Then Xue Li understood what he was doing, and a neat formation of a hundred cavalry was right in front of him.It seems that these are light cavalry, and the spear in his hand is equipped with a heavy cavalry. Xue Li looked at Tiandaozong and saw what it meant.

"This king has invited His Majesty to scout the enemy instead of Zhang Jian."

When hearing his words, Xue Li's expression was not the same as the previous two people, but he sincerely admired Tiandaozong.

Tiandaozong's age is not much different from his own, but his courage is much greater than his own. He is worthy of being a young general, a person who is highly valued by the emperor.

Born in the clan, he could have lived a lifetime of prosperity and wealth, but he chose to use his life to make a living.

"How about you being the king's vice president?"

"Then we'll have to wait until we get back to discuss."

"So you agree?"

Xue Li nodded, Tian Daozong smiled, and shouted loudly towards the front: "Let's go!"

As for Xue Li, Tiandaozong knew after that temptation that Li was everything above him.He also loves talents, and he regards Xue Li as a brother, not a monarch.

Thanks to Tiandaozong, Xue Li hadn't ridden a horse like this for a long time.

The weather has been exceptionally good these past few days, so the Liaohe River has swelled extremely fiercely due to the melting snow.

The wind at night lowered the temperature to a minimum, and the wind hit Xue Li's face like a knife.But he felt never so happy as now.

"The snow fields in Liaodong are wider than the grasslands in Guanzhong."

"You said that you are from Guanzhong, and your surname is Xue..." Tian Daozong thought about Xiaguanzhong.

"But the Xue family from Hedong?"

"How did the prince know?"

"If you want to come to Humen Wugouzi, it doesn't look like ordinary people's skills when you fight against you."

"My lord has good eyesight!"

"Don't talk about one prince, you are a member of the family, how about going back to the Eastern Expedition and sworn brothers with me?"

Xue Li also admired Tiandaozong, and Tiandaozong was also a good person, and he would still have something to rely on in the future, so he agreed.

Crossing to the west of Liaodong at dawn, Tiandaozong's horse was frightened by the swift and violent river and stopped. He raised his legs forward, and his neighing resounded through the empty Liaodong.

The water of the Liaohe River has nearly doubled in width due to the flood, and the roaring river swallows it, and the flow speed is extremely fast. If people walk up, they will be washed away by the river.

Tian Daozong pulled the reins to stabilize the horse, "All my horses are like this, no wonder Zhang Jian is afraid. I am not Xuande Gong, and I don't have the Luma that jumped the river."

"Thousands of miles of good horses are still manipulative. People are afraid of nature and horses are afraid. If people are not afraid, how can the horse retreat. Liu Xuande's horse jumps over the river because he is forced to do nothing. How can there be fear before death!"

Xue Li held the rein tightly with his right hand, leaned down and murmured a few words next to the horse's ear, rolled his eyes, and gave a whip.

In less than half a moment, Xue Li had already passed more than half of the horse, but the river was so deep that half of the horse was submerged.

Tian Daozong looked at this scene, sweating for Xue Li, and at the same time sincerely admired him.

"Follow me across the river!"

So he was no longer afraid, the sound of reins whipping came from the cavalry one after another, and the sound of splashing water filled the Liaohe River.The neighing of horses echoed through the valley.
