Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 530 Dry word plan (4)

Qingshiling, also known as Osaka Mountain, is located between Huangshui River and Datong River. It belongs to the middle section of Qilian Mountains. It stretches for nearly 4000 miles and is nearly [-] miles wide. Qinghai is isolated, and the mountains are extremely steep. Since ancient times, it has been a natural moat that birds cannot cross. Except for the herbal pickers who occasionally enter the mountains, even hunters seldom come and go in such dangerous places with high mountains and dense forests. At that time, a strange army was trekking hard among the mountains.

It is said that this army is strange, that is because this army does not wear armor and helmets, and all of them are dressed in grass-green civilian clothes, with strange-looking big caps on their heads, and leather jackets on their heads, which is not in the usual sense. There was no such thing as a shield, bow or crossbow, and what looked like a fire stick was carried on his shoulders, and a bulging cloth bag hung from his waist. There is no doubt that this strange weapon The army is the mysterious army in Hexi - the First Brigade of the Army, also known as the "Wooden Army".

"Brothers, work harder, if you climb over this mountain again, you will reach the end of the ground!"

Even though he is lightly dressed, most of the time he walks along the streams and trails in the mountains, without having to cross the snow-capped mountains, but the road is rugged, the vegetation is also extremely lush, and there are many poisonous insects. This journey is the first time. The vanguard battalion of the first brigade is composed of the most elite soldiers selected by the whole army, but after three days and nights of trekking, they are all exhausted, and the speed of marching is getting slower and slower. When marching in front of the most difficult Yudai Peak, many soldiers were exhausted and could no longer move their feet. However, Lu Sansheng, the battalion commander of the vanguard battalion, was so anxious that he pulled his hoarse throat and shouted endlessly to encourage the soldiers under him, but unfortunately the effect was not that great. Lu Sansheng was so anxious that he wanted to go crazy.

"What's going on, why are you stagnating, Lu Sansheng, you're doing something very tricky!"

Just as the so-called leaking house was caught in continuous rain, just when Lu Sansheng was in a state of anxiety, a loud roar suddenly sounded, which made Lu Sansheng involuntarily startled. When he looked back, he saw a burly man striding forward. Walking over, the speed is as fast as lightning, and the rugged mountain road, which is regarded as daunting by ordinary soldiers, is as easy as walking on flat ground for this person.

"Deputy brigade commander, it's not that the subordinates are unwilling to do it. You see, the mountain is so steep that the brothers haven't closed their eyes for three days and three nights. If you really want to force them away, the casualties..."

As the battalion commander of the vanguard battalion, Lu Sansheng has always had a strong personality and has always been fearless. Even in front of the brigade commander Xiao Sanlang, he dared to speak up and defend himself, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous when he saw someone coming. The new deputy brigade commander Liu Ziming is not an idler. In terms of seniority in the army, not to mention his Lu Sansheng, even the brigade commander Xiao Sanlang is far behind in case, not to mention that Liu Ziming's martial arts is also the first in the brigade. Lu Sansheng, the No.1 who did his part, really didn't dare to compete with Liu Ziming, so he had no choice but to trot forward and explain in a low voice.

"Well……"

Although Liu Ziming was concerned about the slowness of the journey, he was not a ruthless person, and he would not be able to disregard the life and death of soldiers for the sake of military exploits. Hearing Lu Sansheng's explanation, he looked around at the emaciated faces of the surrounding soldiers. His heart couldn't help trembling, but when he thought of Li Xian's strict orders and the Hehuang Army who were fighting hard at Tuyuhun, Liu Ziming dared not harden his heart, but such forced orders were obviously not so easy to do. In a dilemma, Liu Ziming didn't know what to say for a while.

"Zi Ming!"

Just when Liu Ziming was hesitating, he heard a greeting ring out among the clouds and mist on the mountainside. The voice was not loud and peaceful, but it could be heard clearly by every officer and soldier present, which showed the man's strength. The cultivation of internal strength was astonishing, all the officers and soldiers were shocked, they all involuntarily raised their heads and looked up the mountain, and they saw a man pretending to be vigorously coming out of the clouds and mist, as if he was walking slowly, but in an instant, he was gone. In front of the crowd, this move made Gao Miao extraordinary, really like the method of the immortal family.

"Brother Ye, why are you here? But something happened to Luoying Ridge?"

Although the officers and soldiers of the first brigade were selected warriors from the entire Hexi Army, they were generally ordinary people, so they were unavoidably shocked by the miraculous movements of the visitors, but Liu Ziming himself was also one of the top fighters, so I wouldn't be very curious about it, but I was very nervous about the reason for coming, and I couldn't wait for the man to gain a firm foothold, so I asked impatiently.

"The situation is wrong. This morning, a thousand Tubo thieves have occupied Luoying Ridge first. In addition, according to the news from the sentry, there are still many soldiers and horses rushing to Luoying Ridge. Li has few people at the helm, so he dare not fight hard. Let Ye Mou rush to report a letter."

The person who came was Ye Sheng, one of the three masters of the action team. This time, he was ordered to follow Li Yaodong and others to take charge of the investigation of the enemy's situation. Naturally, he came back early this time not to play cool, but to come to inform the enemy's situation. of.

"What? There is such a thing? No, the Hehuang army is in danger!"

Liu Ziming's nature is calm, and after following Li Xian for a long time, he has already become a fine person, but after hearing what Ye Sheng said, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation. The nature is too bad, but the situation is really critical. Once Luoyingling is occupied by the Tubo army, not only Li He's Hehuang army will be wiped out because the return route is cut off, but also the first brigade in the mountains will be defeated. If the enemy finds out, it is hard to escape the doom of defeat. If this is the case, the entire campaign against Tubo may also end in failure, and this is a burden that Liu Ziming absolutely cannot bear.

"That's true. The Tubo army coming from the east is the fastest, and they will arrive at Luoying Ridge at noon tomorrow at the latest."

Ye Sheng explained with a solemn expression, his dark face was full of worry that could not be concealed.

"One day, only one day?" Liu Ziming murmured in distress, then shook his head abruptly, looked around the startled vanguard soldiers with wide eyes, and roared resolutely: "Brothers, Hehuang Army The brothers are fighting desperately, and we urgently need to go to meet them. His Highness is also looking forward to the news of our success. For the sake of Datang, for His Highness, and for the reputation of my first brigade, crossing this mountain is victory. Fight hard! Already!"

"The deputy brigade commander is right. We are the number one brigade in the world. If you don't fight now, don't let the friendly army underestimate you. Brothers, come with me!"

Lu Sansheng was the first batch of veterans selected into the firearms army. When the army was newly formed, the army was called the "wooden army". Lu Sansheng would never forget this shame. He didn't want the army's first battle. Ended in failure, this let out a wild cry, and rushed up the extremely steep mountain path in big strides, climbing up with all his strength.

"Fight!"

"go!"

"Grandma's, whether it's a dead or a living bird, keep up, go!"

Those who can be selected into the Pioneer Battalion are all bloody and brave. Seeing that their battalion commander is taking the lead, all of them are excited, and they all follow him with roars. The fatigue of running around for days is gone under the impact of such blood. Trace... "His Royal Highness, the imperial decree has arrived!"

The game has been laid out, and the prelude to the big battle has also begun, but before the hole card is revealed, the arrangements that should be made have already been arranged, the sets that should be set have already been prepared, and the schedule ahead is frequent, but Li Xian, the coach, can do nothing but wait In addition, there is not much to do, feeling restless, simply no longer pay attention to the great battle that is about to start, and strolled to the back garden, gathered with wives and concubines, and teased the three lively and lovely sons by the way However, it was quite enjoyable, and while he was enjoying himself, he saw Gao Miao rushing over in a hurry, reporting a piece of news that surprised Li Xian.

Hmm, did it come so fast?When he heard the imperial decree arrived, Li Xian couldn't help being stunned. It wasn't that he was curious about the content of the imperial decree. In fact, Li Xian already knew the content of the imperial decree before it left the palace. It’s just the imperial edict, other than that, it’s just formulaic words of consolation, there’s really nothing surprising about it, what makes Li Xian rush to this place is the speed at which the imperial edict was delivered, but why, come sooner That's okay, at least there won't be anything wrong with the righteousness of military operations.

"Open the middle door, Gu will go to receive the order!"

Li Xian thought about it for a while, and although he felt a little strange, he was not too worried, so he stood up and waved his hand to order.

"promise!"

Li Xian had an order, Gao Miao didn't dare to delay, so he respectfully complied, and went to arrange for the people in the mansion to prepare to receive the order. He has been handling such errands for many years, so nothing will happen. Unfortunately, after Li Xian changed his clothes and came out, all the matters of receiving the order had already been properly arranged.

Hey, why is it him?What play is the old man singing this from?Although receiving the order is a major event, Li Xian has experienced too much and is already used to it, so he will not be nervous at all, but when he saw the little eunuch who came to deliver the order, Li Xian couldn't help but froze for a moment , because that little eunuch turned out to be Liu Qiming, the eunuch who Li Xian had tried so hard to place beside Gaozong.

"My servant has seen His Royal Highness the King of England!"

When Liu Qiming saw Li Xian coming out, his face flushed with excitement, but in front of everyone, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he could only take a few steps forward in a regular manner, and then stood still reservedly. With a slight bow, he met Li with the posture of an imperial envoy.

"Eunuch, please be polite. Since father and emperor have a decree, I will thank you, Eunuch, to announce it."

Li Xian politely returned a half salute, then flicked his sleeves, said something businesslike, walked to the back of the incense table, lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt on the futon.

"The Holy Son of Heaven issued an edict saying: The small bandits in Tubo have repeatedly violated the border, and they are not good neighbors..."

Seeing that Li Xian had settled down on his knees, Liu Qiming didn't dare to delay any longer. He cleared his throat a bit, and began to speak according to the scriptures. He listened indiscriminately, and his mind had already turned to nowhere.
