Tang Ge

Chapter 94
Li Zhiyun didn't remember that there was such a soldier in his team, but he looked familiar.He asked, "Who are you?"

The soldier quickly replied: "The villain is a scout under King Qin's tent. He came to Haozhou yesterday to deliver a letter. The general saw me when he came back last night."

Li Zhiyun thought for a while, then looked at this person, and suddenly remembered that there was such a scout among the quartermasters who came to the army to distribute food and grass yesterday, but he was behind them and it was dark, so he didn't pay attention for a while.He nodded slowly, pondered for a while and said, "Did you play that song just now?"

The man's expression changed, and he quickly said in a low voice: "The villain can't sleep at night, blowing nonsense, disturbing the general's rest, the villain deserves to die."

Li Zhiyun waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "You composed this song?"

The man shook his head hastily, and said: "How can the villain have that ability! The villain's father used to be a craftsman who made musical instruments. Under the influence of his father, the villain knew a little about this musical instrument. Every night in the army, the king of Qin could hear this song. The villain thought it was very nice, and he remembered it after a long time. I couldn’t sleep tonight, so I came out to find a secluded place to play this song. But disturbing the general's rest, the villain really deserves to die."

The man was still chattering, but he didn't realize that Zhiyun's face was as pale as a sheet of paper for a moment, he pressed his lips tightly together, remained motionless and didn't speak, and took a long time to let out a breath , with a low voice, "Don't play this piece again in the future."

"Ah?" The man was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his head, he saw Li Zhiyun's figure had gone far away, but he didn't have his usual resolute posture at all, and his steps became heavy.

The man stayed there in a daze for a long time, then he slowly raised the flute in his hand.His expression was momentarily dazed.

There was a sound of footsteps under the tree not far away, and the man hurriedly turned his head to salute the visitor respectfully: "Sir."

The person who came nodded, his blue shirt was upright, his eyebrows were slanted under the moonlight.He walked over and patted the man on the shoulder, "Go back tomorrow and tell your husband that I thank him for his score. On the day when the Tang Dynasty revives, he will not forget his contribution today."

The man nodded cautiously, bowed his waist and answered cautiously yes, and saw the man in the green shirt also slowly walking towards the camp, dropping something casually in his hand, watching from a distance, It was like a green flute.The soldier looked confused, picked up the flute in his hand, put it to his mouth, and played it tentatively. Suddenly, a sharp sound sounded, and the man seemed to be taken aback. Go blow it up.It looks like someone who can't play the flute at all.

As the night gradually became darker, Xiaohe scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, feeling much refreshed all of a sudden.She shook her head vigorously, remembering what that person said just now, and couldn't help but think of the snowy night before when she was in charge of Li Xiuning, her pretty face collapsed in an instant.

"Girl." A soldier called out from outside the tent, Xiaohe walked over to help him open the curtain, the man smiled when he saw her, and said, "The water is ready, I'll pour it for the girl."

Xiaohe smiled and agreed, although it is not practical to take a bath a day in this army in this ancient time without water heaters, but both Li Zhiyun and these subordinate soldiers still take good care of her hygiene habits, and from time to time Some people boil water for her, even without Li Zhiyun's military order, these people will work for her for free, without exception.Xiaohe helped the man open the curtain of the inner tent, pouring hot water into the huge wooden bucket, steaming everywhere, Xiaohe's brows and eyes became dazed.The soldier knew that she was easy-going, and asked with a smile: "Did the girl play the flute just now? It sounds really nice."

Xiaohe was taken aback, and asked, "How do you know it was me who blew it?"

The soldier said with a smile: "I have been standing guard for the girl these few nights, and I heard the girl singing in the tent."

Xiaohe's small face turned red in an instant. Fortunately, there was a lot of heat inside, so that no one could see it. It must be because of his dedication to singing at night, which was heard by people outside, and he quickly warned himself in his heart. Take it as a warning in the future, and don't lose this face again.

"This song is really nice, did the girl make it up herself?"

Xiaohe smiled, "Yes, it sounds good."

The soldier continued his invincible praise, and continued, "Well, it's really nice, but I can't hear it clearly outside. The lyrics in this song seem to be different from our songs here. It's a folk song somewhere."

"Yes!" Xiaohe smiled and nodded, "It's a song for lovers. Do you have a sweetheart? If you have one, I will teach you."

That little soldier was at most seventeen or eighteen years old, when Xiaohe asked, Lima blushed in a hurry.Seeing Xiaohe seemed to have regained some face for her embarrassment just now, and immediately burst out laughing.At this time, she suddenly heard a slight sound outside, Xiaohe was stunned, and then she poked her head out to look, but only saw the curtain of the curtain slightly blurred.Xiaohe was startled, and hurriedly chased him out, but when he ran outside the tent, he saw that there was no one around, only a few guards standing there like logs.Xiaohe walked over and asked if she saw anyone entering her tent, and the man quickly shook his head and said no.The soldiers in the tent chased her out at this time, and put a cloak on Xiaohe's shoulders, saying that maybe the wind was blowing a little harder and the tent made noises, and it was too cold outside, so I better go back to Yunyun.Xiaohe looked into the distance suspiciously, thinking that maybe the wind just now was blowing harder. Although the weather has gradually warmed up at this time, she couldn't help but sleep outside wearing so little at night. There was a chill.He turned around and went back to the tent.

After a long while, the guard who said he hadn't seen anyone let out a sigh of relief, and saw a black figure slowly coming out from the right side of the tent, and after a while, he walked towards the large tent of the Chinese army.

The moonlight cast down softly, but at this moment, for some unknown reason, there was a faint chill.

There is a white line of music on the horizon, and it is not many hours before dawn.

Over the past few days, Song Jingang has frequently been in urgent need of food and grass.Liu Wuzhou was entrenched in Taiyuan, and sent troops several times in an attempt to transport grain and grass southward, but Li Zhiyun insisted on defending Haozhou, defeated Liu Wuzhou's attacks many times, and cut off the main road for the enemy's grain transportation.

In February, King Kong of the Song Dynasty was short of food and grass, and his tribe had to retreat. Li Shimin, king of Qin, chased him to Jiezhou.

In April, the King of Qin went to Luzhou again to find his prime minister.

The five-month stalemate in the Hedong battle was finally broken, and Li Shimin, who had been unable to hold on, finally resumed his usual tough style, exuding the arrogance he should have had like a sword drawn from its scabbard.Taking advantage of the victory, Li Shimin pursued to the north, marched more than [-] miles a day and night, fought dozens of rounds, and approached Gaobiling.Li Zhiyun, who was far away in Haozhou, also gathered to respond, leaving Li Zhongwen to stand firm in Haozhou, while he led [-] troops and went all the way south to attack Song Jingang from north to south with Li Shimin.
