Will Ming

In the golden autumn season, although the scenery looks a bit depressed, the climate in the daytime is the time when people feel transparent and comfortable. The wind blows over people's cheeks, just like a lover's fingers gently and slowly swipe across.Although the troubled times are coming to an end, sending troops to fight is still a part of life for soldiers.No one will have any resistance to going out, because they are used to this kind of life.

A few months of rest in Chang'an City is already a rare enjoyment for the soldiers.If they had something to look forward to, it would be that His Royal Highness King Yan swept the entire Central Plains and trampled all opponents under their feet. Only in this way can they really relax.

Fortunately, this day does not seem to be far away.

In today's world, there are still people who are qualified to oppose the King of Yan, but Dou Jiande, Xiao Mian and Li Shimin are just three people. Li Shimin and Xiao Mian will fight fiercely, and it is still unknown who will win the deer. For everyone in Yunjun, this is not a bad thing.It's best to lose both sides, which can save a little trouble.

As for Dou Jiande in Hebei, military advisor Xu Shiji personally led an army of 30 troops. If Li Daozong's 40 Tang troops were counted, plus the defenders in Juye Lake, the strength would exceed 40.Counterattacking Hebei with [-] tiger and wolf divisions, in the hearts of all Yanyun Army soldiers, they did not speculate on the outcome, but wondered how long Dou Jiande could hold off?

This is the pride of Yan Yunjun, they are stubborn to the bone marrow.

An excellent commander can change the temperament of an army. There is no doubt that because of Li Xian's existence, the soldiers of Yanyun Army are a group of extremely proud guys.

The army began to march in a hurry after leaving Chang'an City. The King of Yan ordered them to arrive in Xiangyang before the winter, so they still had about a month to go.But for the rapid march, the soldiers of Yanyun Army did not have any fear or resistance.Yan Wang is a person who likes to rush tactics, and surprise marches are like commonplace for Yan Yunjun.It took them a month to get to Xiangyang, and in their view, this was not a difficult task.

Because he hadn't set off for a long time, the big dark horse on the official road was extremely excited.

It raised its jaw proudly, like an invincible general.

No doubt it is also proud.

"Sir, does this horse have a name?"

Ye Huaixi, who was riding beside Li Xian, looked at the big black horse curiously and asked, "Even in my royal court, I am afraid it would be difficult to pick out such a handsome horse. There are many good horses on my grassland, and I have a horse in the royal court." The pure white Teller Puss is already the best among all the others, but compared to Mr.'s war horse, it seems to lack some mighty aura."

"name?"

Ye Huaixi's words evoked Li Xian's memory, and a scene that seemed so long ago and seemed to be right in front of him appeared in his mind.That day on the grassland, the big black horse, which hadn't fully grown up, already showed extraordinary strength. On that day, he gave the big black horse a very vulgar name.

"It's called black hard."

Li Xian said seriously.

When thinking of this name, Li Xian suddenly remembered that the big black horse has been with him for ten years, and the average lifespan of a horse is more than 15 years, and the best period for a war horse to serve is from two to [-] years old, and in a few years , the big black horse is about to retire... Thinking of this, he felt a little bit disappointed.

"Dark Shadow?"

Ye Huaixi repeated it, and then praised: "Good name! This horse really runs like a shadow, and it's incredibly fast."

Li Xian didn't bother to explain anything, no matter it was black shadow or black hard, the big dark horse was the unique big dark horse.

"Sir, how many days will it take us to reach the battlefield?"

"The cavalry will arrive at Wudang Mountain within 20 days to meet Luo Shixin and Yuwen Shiji, and the infantry will also arrive within a month. If there is no delay at Wudang Mountain, they will arrive in a little over a month."

"It will take a month...can you teach the students some art of war, sir?"

Ye Huaixi asked seriously.

"You took out the book of war by yourself and read it at will, and brought a lot with the army. As for what I can teach you, it doesn't make sense to talk about it now."

"Oh……"

Ye Huaixi was a little disappointed, but did not continue to say anything.

Li Xian smiled and did not continue the topic.

"Sir, have you ever lost?"

After being silent for a while, Ye Huaixi suddenly asked.

"I lost..."

Li Xian recalled that time on Yanshan, when he fought Wen Jie for the first time, Xueqi and Tiefutu were almost wiped out because of his youth and recklessness.For a long time, Li Xian believed that although his performance at that time was not perfect, it was good enough.The battle between Blood Cavalry and Tiefutu did not happen because the enemy was too strong, and they had already fought a battle with the Turkic people at that time, and they were unable to resist Longtingwei, who was dozens of times stronger than him.

It was only after experiencing more and more that Li Xian realized how naive he was back then.If he had the current cognition and experience at that time, maybe the blood cavalry and the iron Buddha would not be almost extinct.

"Everyone has lost."

Li Xian thought for a while, looked at Ye Huaixi and said: "No one in this world is always invincible. Every soldier has the highest honor of being a general who has won hundreds of battles. But who can guarantee that the one hundred and zero first time will not be defeated?" Will you lose? Some people can get up and continue fighting after losing many times, while some people... lose once and never stand up again."

"I rarely lose."

Li Xian said seriously: "Maybe it's not because of how powerful I am, but because I fear war. It can also be said that I am a person who cannot afford to lose, so I cannot lose..."

He knew that what he was going to face this time was someone who could no longer afford to lose.

……

……

On the fifth day of the march, Ye Huaixi was called into the carriage by Ye Huaixiu.Li Xian didn't stop him, after all, Ye Huaixi's identity... It seemed more appropriate to be with Ye Huaixiu.

Walking under the blue sky, people's hearts seem to have become a lot more open.Li Xian recalled Xiaodi's reluctance at the city gate when he led his army to leave Chang'an City.She didn't say anything, and she didn't even ask to be careful.But Li Xian knew that she was full of worries.

She's just pretending to be strong.

A child who learns to pretend to be strong is no longer a child.

What he still doesn't know is that on the fifth day of his march, a group of about [-] cavalry arrived outside Chang'an City. The cavalry looked extremely tired, but when they saw the majestic Chang'an When entering the city, everyone's eyes brightened.

Surrounded by all the riders is a woman in leather armor, even after running for a long time, her face is full of tiredness.But when she thinks that she will soon see the person she longs for, she feels extremely happy and nervous.Speaking of which, she hasn't seen each other in the past few years, and she spends every day in missing.

Zhang Xiaodi, who had just sent Li Xian off, stood at the entrance and waited. She couldn't help laughing when she saw the group of cavalry rushing from the official road.

"Sister Qingqing!"

Xiao Di smiled and walked forward quickly, standing behind her smiling and looking at Zhang Zhongjian, who came on horseback, with a relieved face, looking at that boy was as full of kindness as looking at Xiao Di.

"Little Di!"

The son on the horseback reined in the horse, and jumped off from the horse: "I miss me, Xiao Di... you are so tall, you have already caught up with me, you are so real."

Ou Siqingqing held Xiao Di's hand and gave a heartfelt praise, but couldn't help looking around.

"Brother Anzhi doesn't know your itinerary... The news from the Military Inspection Office said that you will lead the army back to the grassland, and you will come back after meeting Sister Duoduo. I didn't expect you to come back so soon. If Brother Anzhi knows that you are going back to Chang'an, Will definitely be waiting for you."

Ou Siqingqing couldn't hide her disappointed smile, held Xiao Di's hand and said: "I'm really too impatient. I rushed back before the army left the customs. Because I changed my mind temporarily, it was too late to talk to the people from the Military Inspection Office. I came directly to Chang'an after contacting you. I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect..."

Ou Siqingqing glanced at Xiao Di, hesitated and asked, "He... sent troops? Where did he go?"

"Xiangyang"

Xiao Di took Ou Siqingqing's hand and said, "There was an accident in the battle over there, the Military Inspection Office lost a lot of manpower, and the situation was a little out of control, so Brother An led the army to rush there."

"When does he come back?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back a year ago."

"what?"

Ou Siqing paused, looked at Xiao Di in disbelief, and repeated in a murmur, "Will he not be able to come back until the Chinese New Year?"

"Even if the battle goes well, it will take several months to go back and forth, and we will definitely not be able to make it back years ago. Moreover, the battle in Xiangyang does not seem to be easy to resolve, and this battle should drag on for a while."

"Then I won't go into town."

Ou Siqingqing looked at Xiaodi and said seriously: "Give me a map, I'm going to Xiangyang."

"what?"

This time it was Xiao Di's turn to be surprised, she looked at Ou Siqingqing and asked: "But Brother An Zhi told you that if you arrive, you will wait for him in Chang'an."

"I can't wait, I'm in a hurry!"

Ou Siqingqing held Xiao Di's hand tightly, and said word by word: "I missed it for a few years, and I just felt uncomfortable on the grassland. But when I arrived in the Central Plains, especially in Chang'an, the unseen sadness became more and more intense. Waiting is the hardest thing in the world, and I don't want to wait any longer."

"map!"

Zhang Zhongjian turned around and ordered: "Food, water, money, replace the horses, and transfer five hundred cavalry...Qingqing, don't worry, Grandpa will accompany you!"

Xiao Di opened his mouth
