The little general is my favorite [Rebirth]

The training in the afternoon was one-to-one training, but Song Huai was restless, thinking that Qi Xuan, who was drinking with Song Hao, accidentally lost to Song Qi during the demonstration of moves. Song Qi was so proud that he wanted to let go A hundred firecrackers announced to the world.

It was getting late, and when the horn sounded to close the camp, Song Huai couldn't wait to lead the horse home, but unexpectedly, he saw Qi Xuan at the gate of Daying.

Qi Xuan and Song Xiao stood together, and the returning soldiers greeted them and said goodbye.Qi Xuan nodded to them amiably, and then saw Song Huai across the crowd.

After drinking with Song Hao, Qi Xuan went back to the room and lay down for a while, when he was almost sober, he took Chang Kang and Tang Zheng around Beizhou City, and then went to the military camp.

He has no plans to intervene in military affairs for the time being, but he must be familiar with the situation in Northern Xinjiang and the Northern Guards.

The big tent of the Chinese army is where Song Xiao handles official affairs and convenes the generals to discuss matters. Now there is an additional camp for supervising the army to serve as Qi Xuan's director.

Song Xiao sent a clerk to send the army's accounts and roster to Qi Xuan for inspection.

Qi Xuan has a general understanding of the number of people, establishments, weapons, military pay, food and grass, and distribution of other supplies. By the way, he also knows the daily time when the soldiers go out to exercise and retreat, and the content of the training.

After reading these, Qi Xuan reckoned that it was almost time to close the camp, so he simply waited for A Huai, and Song Xiao originally went home with A Huai every day, so the two of them waited at the gate of the camp together. Scenes.

Seeing Song Huai come out, Song Xiao got on his horse and walked slowly along with the flow of soldiers returning home. Qi Xuan waited for Song Huai to lead the horse up, and drove the horse to walk alongside him.

Song Huai looked at his face, seeing that he looked good and full of energy, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Worried about me?" Qi Xuan leaned closer to him and asked with a smile.

Song Huai was a little displeased, thinking that he had been worrying about him for a long time, but he was fine, with a happy smile on his face, but he felt that getting angry about this kind of thing was like... a little daughter-in-law, so he threw away the bad things emotions, follow his words and ask: "Is there any discomfort?"

Qi Xuan guessed a little bit of his thoughts, and said with a smile: "No, I woke up after a night of drinking." He leaned closer and whispered: "I just drank two jars, and I won't drink next time."

Song Huai was so uncomfortable being coaxed by Qi Xuan, he shook the reins and moved away, cursing in his heart, who cares about you!After scolding, she was annoyed secretly, why did she become more and more like a little daughter-in-law who worried about him?

Blame the third cousin!All nonsense!

"A Huai!" Said that Cao Cao had arrived, Song Qi and Song Zhi rode up from behind, and greeted Qi Xuan and Song Xiao.

Song Zhi whispered to Song Huai: "Why are you running so fast? You didn't wait for us." He glanced at Qi Xuan and winked at Song Huai, his expression was clearly saying that I knew you were ready to return.

Song Huai was a little ashamed to be guessed by his third cousin, so he turned his face away and ignored him.

No one told him that he and Qi Xuan were both men, and the cousins ​​had no scruples about making jokes.As the eldest sister-in-law, although she has a straightforward and pungent temperament, she is a daughter's family after all, and the brothers respect her a lot, and they will not make fun of her with the eldest cousin.

When he came to him, Qi Xuan became his brother-in-law, and the brothers became unscrupulous, and Song Huai had nothing to do.

Qi Xuan approached Song Huai again, and said, "It's okay, let them go."

Song Huai was grateful for his thoughtfulness, and smiled at him with pursed lips.

"Hey! Isn't that Feng Ji?" Song Zhi said suddenly.

Song Huai and Qi Xuan looked up, and just saw a man in his early thirties, of medium stature, with an elegant appearance, with the demeanor of a scholar, but he was carrying a bamboo basket, and his boots were still stained with mud, standing by the side of the road , Looking against the flow of people.

With the effort of raising his eyes, Qi Xuan's horses had already walked in front of Feng Ji.

Feng Ji cupped his hands and saluted several people: "General, little general—" As soon as he arrived at Song Qi and Song Zhi's place, he was interrupted by Song Zhi: "Dr. Feng went to collect medicine again?"

Feng Ji smiled and said, "Go outside the city and lie down."

Song Qi also smiled, teasingly said: "Doctor Feng is late, I just saw that General Liu Shen has gone home."

Feng Ji was stunned for a moment: "Ah, I came late." Then he smiled slightly and said: "Well, then I will go home too." After saying that, he waved goodbye to several people, turned and walked back.

"Feng Ji!"

Suddenly there was an angry shout from ahead, and not far away, a tall man in armor was also looking around against the flow of people.

All of a sudden, the surrounding soldiers gave way to Feng Ji, so that Liu Cheng, who was looking for people everywhere, saw him at a glance, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Idiot!" Feng Ji scolded with a smile, and walked towards him.

Liu Cheng ran over, saw Song Xiao and the others, and hurriedly bowed his hands in salute. Song Xiao nodded to the two of them, and continued to drive forward.

Qi Xuan followed Song Huai forward, and when passing by, he saw Liu Cheng quickly and skillfully removed the bamboo basket from Feng Ji's back, carried it on his left shoulder, and held Feng Ji with his right hand.

Feng Ji let him lead him, and scolded with a smile: "They all went home, why did they come back again?"

Liu Cheng: "Didn't I realize that you're not at home? I'm afraid you haven't returned to the city yet, but fortunately someone told me to see you."

Qi Xuan just heard these two words and passed by the two of them. He turned his head and saw the two walking slowly behind them holding hands. The passing soldiers whistled at them. Feng Ji smiled. , but Liu Cheng chased the soldier with a red face: "Go, go!", holding Feng Ji's hand but not letting go.

Qi Xuan turned around and asked Song Huai, "Are those two men a couple?"

In the Daning Dynasty, when a man married a man, they were not called husband and wife, but called each other "Lang Jun".It's just that the man married as a man's wife will take his husband's surname, and his status will be slightly lower, so most of them will call his husband "husband" and "sister".

Song Huai nodded.

Qi Xuan sighed: "It looks quite affectionate..."

Song Huai thought for a while, slowed down to distance himself from his father and cousin, and Qi Xuan talked about the past: "The two are from the same hometown. Liu Shen will join the army in the future, and Doctor Feng will follow. With medical skills, he became a military doctor."

"One time when troops were sent out to meet the enemy, General Liu Shen didn't come back. Doctor Feng followed the soldiers to the battlefield to search and rescue the wounded. He picked up several seriously injured ones, but General Liu Shen was never found..."

"Everyone thought they couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, Doctor Feng dug General Liu Shen out from under the pile of corpses."

"The injury was serious, and it was almost impossible to save him. Who would have thought that Liu Shen would marry Feng Junyi after he woke up, and ask his father to marry them." At this point, Song Huai smiled and said: "The married couple At that time, General Liu Shen was still hanging with a broken arm."

After Song Huai finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Qi Xuan, but Qi Xuan suddenly grabbed the hand pulling the rein, Qi Xuan looked at him with burning eyes: "It's very good, we share weal and woe, and we will never change until death."

Song Huai understood what he meant, his cheeks started to feel hot, he looked around hurriedly, moved his wrist, but didn't pull it out, and said in a low voice helplessly: "Understood, let go quickly."

The soldiers passing by also whistled at them. Amidst the commotion, Qi Xuan let go of his hand, Song Huai drove his horse forward a few steps, distanced himself from him, and the back of his ears burned red.

----

On the fifth day of August in the tenth year of Hongguang, Daning lost contact with Zhao Zhen, the envoy to Beidi. The general of Beiwei sent people to negotiate with Beidi to no avail.

On the seventh day of August, Beidi provoked and sent the head of envoy Zhao Zhen to the border of Beizhou.The entire army of the Beizhou Army was in an uproar, and the general of Beiwei was extremely angry, and asked for an order to send troops to Beidi.Emperor Yun.

In fact, Song Xiao had already led the Northern Guards across the Xiaoyue Grassland and approached the border of Beidi before Hongguang Emperor's imperial order reached the northern border.

Xiaoyue Grassland is the land bordering Beizhou and Beidi. On the map, the two countries are bounded by the Xiaoyue River, but the Xiaoyue River is just a shallow stream less than two feet wide. When the people of the two countries graze, cattle and sheep often cross the border. Cross the Xiaoyue River and "invade" the enemy country.

Once these cattle and sheep were discovered, they never returned, and the people of the two countries often clashed because of this.

Both countries have soldiers patrolling along the Xiaoyue River to avoid conflicts, and also to protect the people of the country and their cattle, sheep and livestock when conflicts occur.

But this is only in peacetime.

In the past ten years, Beidi has frequently invaded, and Xiaoyue Grassland bears the brunt. I don't know how much blood has soaked the grassland and rivers, and few people graze here.

In the winter of the first year of Hongguang, Beidi, who had been in peace for six years, invaded. At that time, Song Xiao, the prince of Dingbeihou, led the Northern Guards to meet the enemy. They defeated in the fourth year of Hongguang, and Beidi sued for peace.

Unexpectedly, the throne of Beidi changed hands, and they invaded Beidi again.Song Xiao took the 13-year-old Song Huai to the northern border again.

This battle was fought back and forth for six years, during which the longest truce period was only two months in winter.

Last winter, the Beiwei Army had advanced the battlefield from the Xiaoyue Grassland to the southern section of the Yantu Mountains, and confronted the Beidi Iron Cavalry in the Xiaolang Mountain area, and there was a brief truce.

After the beginning of spring, the morale of the Northern Guards was high, and then Song Huai led the Northern Guards to attack and wiped out the main force of Beidi cavalry, winning a complete victory.

Four months later, the Beiwei Army once again crossed the Xiaoyue Grassland and took the initiative to send troops to Beidi.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Song Xiao summoned Qi Xuan, Song Huai, and Yang Ye to discuss tactics.

After seeing Qi Xuan, Song Qi and his brothers rushed back to Liangzhou and Jizhou overnight, assembled the army, and were ready to support the Beizhou army at any time.

Song Xiao's usual method of deploying troops is to use him and Yang Ye as the main generals, each leading two armies, coordinating with each other, attacking east and west, or coordinating the primary and secondary forces, and then the rest of the generals lead troops to support and assist.

In the past two years, Song Huai, who had been dispatched by Song Xiao as a striker, had gradually grown up. Song Xiao directly handed over his position to Song Huai, and he would lead the troops to cooperate with Yang Ye. Together with Song Huai and Yang Ye, he formed the Third Route Army.

In the decisive battle in April, Song Huai led the main attack, Song Xiao and Yang Ye fought and successfully encircled and suppressed the main force of Beidi cavalry.

In this attack, Song Xiao still sent Song Huai to take the lead. The goal was to take down the Xiaoyue tribe, the first resident on the border of Beidi within half a month.

There are many grasslands and wastelands in Beidi, and they all live in groups in the form of nomadic tribes. Only in places where the water and grass are fertile and suitable for farming and there are hills to block the cold current and sandstorm will people build cities and live.

The Xiaoyue tribe is the closest tribe to northern Xinjiang, but this tribe is an army with almost no civilians.

When the Northern Guards arrived at Xiaoyue River the day before yesterday, they had a fight with the Xiaoyue tribe and won a small victory.The Northern Guards took the opportunity to cross the Xiaoyue River and stationed in Beidi.

Daning had a favorable start and took the lead, but it also angered the Beidi defenders.It's just that the Xiaoyue tribe seems to have some scruples, and they keep sending troops to drive them away, but they haven't taken the initiative to attack for a long time.

If the enemy does not move, Song Xiao decides to strike while the iron is hot, ordering Song Huai to lead his troops to attack the camp tonight.

Qi Xuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "This king will go with the little general."

"My lord," said the bearded lieutenant general Sun Fu, who had blown his beard and stared at him for the first time, "It's not a child's play to fight an enemy in battle. Swords have no eyes. Your lord should not take any risks."

Qi Xuan glanced at him, and said: "Since this king is here, there is no reason to hide behind. As a soldier of Daning, even if he dies for the country, he will die well."

The generals were slightly surprised, they didn't expect that King Xuan would not seize the military power when he came, but wanted to charge forward, he was a man.Sun Fu also put away his contemptuous attitude, and said: "The prince dares to be the first, but the general will admire it later."

Qi Xuan didn't look at him much, but turned to Song Huai, and said in a low voice, "I'll go with you."

Song Huai subconsciously shook his head, trying to persuade him not to go, but heard Song Xiao call out to the prince, raised his eyebrows and said to Qi Xuan: "Since the prince is in our army, he still has to obey the military orders."

Qi Xuan didn't expect his father-in-law to play tricks on him at this time, so he stood up helplessly, bowed his head and said: "Qi Xuan asks to go with the young general, and the general please agree."

Song Xiao snorted, noncommittal.

Everyone: "..."

The author has something to say: Father Huai: Hmph!Don't think I don't know your little thoughts, you just want to cling to my son!

Huai Huai: …………(/_＼) Didn’t see…

Xuanxuan: ......... (Father-in-law, can you be more serious?)

General: ……… (I didn’t expect our general to be such a father-in-law…)

It was supposed to be on the verge of breaking out, but after I wrote it, there was a kind of meaning of "the years are quiet and it's time to end"
