"Hidden Tent" 102

On the sixth day of the second month, the army arrived in Qudu.

When Emperor Xuanwu was reigned, the entire Li Kingdom generals withered, and the Ministry of Revenue allocated little money and food to the border. For a long time, morale was sluggish. Not to mention the soldiers guarding Qudu, even Wei Jun, who guarding Qudu, was a lazy general. The last time Xiying attacked the city, happened to be Xu Chiyan, but this time, Xu Chiyan was gone, and the entire Qudu was covered in dust and retreated continuously.

At present, Qu Du's soldiers have retreated to Changlan Pass. If they retreat again, they will be about to withdraw from the entire Qu Du.

Since Lu Jiuxiao entered the city, there have been bloody soldiers everywhere, and no one is watching, as well as refugees begging along the streets.

Lu Jiuxiao frowned and stopped. The scene in front of him seemed to overlap with the battle from six years ago.

Xu Chiyan glanced at him and said, "The borders during wartime have always been like this."

After saying that, the shed not far away fell down with a "clang".

Two soldiers wearing military uniforms, wearing short red robes, leather belts, and machetes were holding a blue woman. The woman had messy hair and was holding Liangzhu tightly. There was a crying boy beside her.

The soldier swears a few swear words and said, "My damn girl, I'll make you tough!"

People around him avoided his head, fearing that he would affect himself, and even Xu Chiyan was not surprised.

Lu Jiuxiao looked at him and pursed his lips and explained: "There are all men in the army, and the few military prostitutes are mostly for the upper-level generals. The soldiers at the bottom are not as good as those at the bottom. In addition, Qu Du was in a panic for several years. This kind of robbery of the people is no longer a surprise."

After all, the court was guarding the mines of Qudu, not the people of Qudu, and no one would regard their lowly lives as their lives.

Lu Jiuxiao's eyes darkened. Even though he had been in Huajie and Liuxiang for five years, he had never heard of any Qinlou Chuguan who forced a robbery of a woman, and he was still a woman with children.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and a strong sense of disgust appeared in his eyes. It was a kind of arrogance that could not be concealed by the young men of aristocratic families.

When Xu Chiyan saw that he was about to step forward, he raised his sword to block him, "Is this all Qu Du commonplace. If you can control this, you can't control everything. Only when the war is settled and the court completely sanctions Qu Du, can this matter be eliminated."

"I know." He said, pushing his sword and heading straight forward.

With a "bang", one of the soldiers who were holding the woman's collar was kicked away.

Another man quickly drew his sword, but saw the visitor wearing iron armor and a magnificent army behind him. There was also Xu Chiyan, who recognized Xu Chiyan.

The soldier's face turned pale and immediately understood that this was the reinforcements sent by the court, so he swallowed and said, "Master, we are General Wei's personal soldiers. This stinky woman doesn't understand the rules and hits you, I--"

"Qin Yi." Lu Jiuxiao interrupted him.

Qin Yi immediately stepped forward, "Master."

"These two were tied up for me."

The two of them widened their eyes and struggled, "We are General Wei's personal soldiers!"

So he also called Qin Yi to block his mouth.

In the camp outside, soldiers wearing short red robes sat around a ball of barbecue and drank. The sky was dark, and it was already singing and dancing, and the wine was so fragrant.

In the camp, Wei Jun lay on his back on the couch, hugging a military prostitute who was almost unclothed in his arms, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and smiling as he trembled on his belly.

Several personal soldiers sat around the table, and some of them said:

"General, Xiying sent troops yesterday. If we really lost Qu Du, what if the court blamed him..."

Wei Junzui smiled and said, "What's the matter? Qu has mines. Will the court ignore it? Hasn't the troops sent? With them here, we will follow us and wait for the war to politely send people away."

Several people laughed, "It's still the general who is calm in the face of danger, we admire him!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the tent.

Before Wei Jun got up, the curtain of the tent was lifted open. Qin Yi kicked the two people tied up to everyone.

Wei Jun recognized Xu Chiyan, so he quickly got up to clean up his clothes and said embarrassedly: "General Xu has arrived. This letter states that reinforcements will arrive two days later. We failed to greet them in time, and we were dereliction of duty, and we were dereliction of duty..."

He said, secretly glanced at Lu Jiuxiao with his own light.

Xu Chiyan smiled and said, "Emperor Lu is worried about Qu Du, so he whipped it up two days earlier."

After saying that, Wei Jun turned to Lu Jiuxiao and hugged his hands, "Empress Lu is here for the first time, but Wei is in vain."

He looked at the person in front of him carefully and heard that the person leading the army this time was a young man who had never marched and fought. Look at his white and handsome appearance, he really was soaked in a honey pot in Kyoto. Sigh, what can I do?

"You are negligent."

Wei Jun was suddenly stunned.

Lu Jiuxiao looked around at the situation in the tent, and the prostitutes who were not covered in clothes quickly shrank.

He curled his lips sarcastically and walked out of the tent.

The bonfire is roaring, the breeze blows, and the sound of leaves falling everywhere is filled with the sound of rustling leaves.

Yin Zhong and Qin Yi tied the two soldiers to the wooden clapper, and the personal soldiers accompanied him to carry a pear wooden seat in front of him. Lu Jiuxiao sat down and took the hand-cross handed over by the soldiers.

As soon as the posture was turned, everyone looked serious and whispered. Wei Jun hurriedly said, "What is Lu Duwei doing?"

Lu Jiuxiao pointed the arrow at one of them and said slowly: "According to the law of Li Kingdom, forcing the robbery of a woman in a civilian state will not die. However, as a soldier of Li Kingdom, he will cause trouble and disrupt the people. His actions should be punished. General Wei is concerned about his friendship and cannot do anything."

He bent his lips and said kindly, "It's okay, I'll do it."

"As for me, I don't care about the same friendship. I have to follow my rules here."

It’s not “I have to follow my rules here”, but “I have to follow my rules here”, Wei Jun simply stared at him, with such an arrogant tone!

He said to Xu Chiyan: "General Xu, this-"

Xu Chiyan said with his hands behind his back: "Emperor Lu has the final say."

He heard two "tuk" sounds, two arrows left the string one in front and one behind, and each of them was killed immediately.

The whole scene was quiet and everyone was stunned.

Lu Jiuxiao wiped his hands, "General Wei, hand over the military defense map to General Xu."

After saying that, he went straight into the tent, which meant to discuss it all night.

Seeing this, Wei Jun hurriedly grabbed Xu Chiyan, and he said angrily: "General Xu, what is the origin of this Lu? You have been in the army for several years and you will be suppressed by him? And he is a newcomer, what can he know? Those two are my personal soldiers, which is too suspicious!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chiyan looked at the tent with a funny look, "Did you see the people in front of the tent? They are the personal guards of the lord. Let me tell you that he is all his ancestors in Beijing and the King of Hell in Qudu. No one can give him face. Even if he wants your life, he can do it. Cooperate with him well, otherwise..."

He glanced at the two warm bodies and patted Wei Jun on the shoulder.

In the next few days, Wei Jun was really dedicated.

Lu Jiuxiao only spent one day rectifying Qu Du's scattered soldiers. His methods were simple and rough. He was disobedient and pulled them out and killed them. He did not ask about his name or family background. Anyway, no matter how noble Qu Du's identity is, can he be as noble as Prince Lu?

But it has to be said that this method of using violence to fight violence is really effective, and soon made the scattered army look quite like that.

On the ninth day of the second month, the army of Li Kingdom officially advanced to Changlan Pass.

Thousands of troops and thousands of horses, golden drums are connected to the sky.

Smoke of gunpowder is everywhere and war is flying.

With Changlan Pass as the boundary, it was 300 miles north and south, and the battle lasted for six days before Xiying Camp retreated to the north for two hundred miles.

In everyone's eyes, this war was a war in which the Li Kingdom aimed at repelling Xiying. Xiying thought so, but Zuo retreated and gave up attacking Qudu. But no one expected that on February 15, on the 15th day of February, when the two sides were fighting hard, Xu Chiyan led 10,000 elite troops from the east of Changlan Pass and took a small road to the north. At the moment, fireworks bloomed in the sky--

Lu Jiuxiao's men launched an attack from the south, and Xiying retreated while fighting, but unexpectedly they were attacked from both sides.

On the night of February 21, the defeated general of the Xiying army was forced to retreat to the northernmost Handong Pass. Without getting enough to cheer up his morale, the flames falling from the sky burned the granary and camp. Under the pressure step by step, he had to retreat back to the military capital.

On February 28, Xiying sent envoys to make peace and once again took out a truce treaty.

On the second day of the March, the envoy's body was sent back to Xiying.

What followed was the endless attack of Liguo.

Unlike every battle in the past, the Li Kingdom came in a fierce and radical way of fighting, which caught Xiying off guard.

So, the Xiying general Mukel, who was guarding the service capital, finally showed up.

In the Xiying camp tent, Mukeer sat in front of the sand table, watching the full battle situation.

The general on the side said in Xiying dialect: "General, the country of Li is prepared this time. He has already reached Panxingling and is coming to the military capital. The leader's surname is Lu, and he has never shown his face before. We cannot understand his tactics."

Mukel was silent for a while, "He plays very much like a person, but it's a little more fierce."

"But that person has been dead for six years."

"General, General!" The soldier rushed out of the tent and fell in front of him and said, "General, General, Li's army has passed Panxing Ridge and is coming to the city gate!"

A months-long tug-of-war has begun.

------------

It's blinking, it's June.

In the summer season, the scorching heat is unbearable and the scorching sun hangs on the sky, which inevitably makes people feel restless and impatient.

Shen Shiqi leaned against the window in a thin shirt, stroking the flower branches in front of the window distractedly.

Every seven days there will be war reports sent back from Qu Du, and He Lin never hides them from her. The military situation sent back is both victorious and defeatful, which makes people worried, but he is safe and sound, and this is the best news.

Today, the seventh day after the last round of the war report was passed.

She turned around and said, "Taoyin, did your second brother send me over?"

Tao Yin shook his head, "Miss, don't worry, girl, how can this letter be conveyed so accurately? Wasn't it two days late last time?"

Shen Shiqi nodded, and suddenly felt a pain in his fingertips, causing the flower branches outside the window to pierce their hands, and the little blood that emerged was particularly bright red.

Her chest shook twice and sucked her fingertips.

At night, Shen Shiqi woke up from a dream, with tears on his face.

In the dream, the fire surged into the sky, and there was a loud "bang" sound, the mountains were blown up, and Lu Jiuxiao was covered in blood...

"Taoyin, Taoyin!" Shen Shiqi stood up and hurriedly criticized his thin shirt on his body.

Tao came in because of hearing the sound, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm going to the west wing."

In the past, if the war report was too late, He Lin would have sent someone to inform her, but this time it didn't.

At the moment of Yin, there was no sound in the garden, and cicadas and frogs were chirping one after another.

When Chen Shishi arrived at the west wing, he saw that the door of the study was closed tightly, and the faint light inside made her uneasy heart beat faster. Chen Mu and Chen Xu, who were supposed to be guarding the door, disappeared.
