"This can be considered a mission accomplished..."
The sunshine in autumn is not as sultry as in spring, nor as warm as in hot summer, nor as solemn as in cold winter.
Especially the afternoon sunshine, with its charming yellow color, is fascinating and fascinating. Even though the autumn sunshine has brought a slight coolness, even though there is a hint of wind and sand here, it is still refreshing.
This is a unique taste of the northwest, especially when you stand next to the gray-brown city bricks of Chang'an City, you will feel a strange feeling, as if the achievements of the ages are condensed in these city bricks, and then
It became a passing cloud.
Walking on the tall but gray city wall, with an unobstructed view of the city and the vast outside of the city, even a guy like Li Shushi, who has less ink in his stomach compared to his contemporaries, can't help but want to compose poems.
One song, pretending to be a literary and artistic young man.
But because of a certain lolita, his thoughts were repeatedly interrupted by the sweet smell.
Little Lolita Zhenqing was sleeping sweetly on Li Shushi's back. The long journey from Luoyang to Chang'an obviously consumed too much of her energy. After all, even with the presence of the emperor and a large number of officials and their families and more
There are a large number of people, but because they are worried about any unexpected situations along the way, the huge and winding team moves slowly but has very little rest time every day.
The emperor can naturally rest in his royal chariot. Even though the bumpy road and no shock-absorbing facilities make it really not very comfortable, it is still very good compared to even ordinary officials.
treatment.
The emperor treated him like this, so the lovely people around Li Shushi and the other family members of the Bingzhou Army were naturally not much better. Even though Li Shushi still had many chariots for them to rest. No, the youngest Zhen Qing just treated her like this.
His eyes were hazy, and there were two circles of dim color on his originally beautiful big eyes, which made people feel a little distressed.
However, the little Loli was still stubborn, at least she persisted until Li Shushi said goodbye to the emperor and completed the agreement with Dong Zhuo.
Of course, the little Lolita is not without a temper. It was rare for her to be able to show her presence around her fiancé. She gave up the opportunity to rest in the military camp outside the city. No matter how exhausted she was, she still had to stay by Li Shushi's side. She looked serious.
Extremely lovable.
"Speaking of it, I really didn't expect Mrs. Ma to be so brave. It's really interesting to think about Dong Zhongying's dumbfounded face."
The old general Xu Rong looked at the scenery in the distance that was a little blurry because of the yellow sand in the sky, with a narrow smile on his face.
Well, this meme has been used to death by these boring guys from the Bingzhou Army in recent days, although in fact it was Li Shushi himself who took the lead in the first place.
Mrs. Ma is naturally not the wife of a man named Ma, but specifically refers to Ma Qing, who is nominally married to Li Shushi, but the relationship between the two is extremely awkward. After all, although Ma Qing has not remarried yet, it is not easy to remarry.
Using the title Mrs. Huangfu, Mrs. Li was obviously unanimously resisted by Su Xiaoluoli and Zhen Qing, so in the end it became this title that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.
On that day, Dong Zhuo rushed towards the mysterious musician in a fierce manner, but the musician was very generous and took the initiative to take off the mask used to hide his identity. Naturally, Dong Zhuo was raped by the woman he had been dreaming about for a long time.
He was shocked. Even though he had known for a long time that Ma Qing was as talented as Cai Yan because of his father Ma Rong, but just like he only heard about Lai Ying'er's reputation, Dong Zhuo didn't find out what Ma Qing really was until today.
What a heroine she is.
So Dong Zhuo, who was unable to advance or retreat, could only turn his helpless face into his resentful eyes and shoot them at Li Shushi.
Damn it, you, a ginseng winner, have already kidnapped two targets of my face, and now you are showing off in front of me. There is no reason for this! You are so dark and hard, you can't afford to hurt me!
Although he had accomplished his intended purpose, Dong Zhuo still felt like he had been cheated.
In retaliation, Dong Zhuo "kindly" took Hua Xiong's hand and said, "If you can't take the Western Regions, don't come back!"
Although Hua Xiong is now a general under Li Shushi, after all, he has followed Dong Zhuo for more than ten years. It is obviously impossible for Dong Zhuo's prestige to be completely erased after following Li Shushi in the past few years, so poor Hua Xiong still often has nightmares until now.
.
Sure enough, the big villain BOSS scares people, it’s really 1VS.5, there’s no pressure.
Of course, the jokes could only go so far, because Li Shushi had already seen Jia Xu walking towards us in the distance. "Wen He, you don't look like this very often. Is there any particularly big bad news?"
.”
"There is indeed bad news, but there probably isn't such a big one as the Lord mentioned."
"What are you doing with that sad look on your face? Or is it actually the result of you meeting an old sweetheart here..."
"Xu has to remind my lord that my wife is right behind you, and she seems very angry because of your current behavior."
Seeing the funny look of Li Shushi quickly turning around to look at Su Xiaololi, everyone present was happy. Jia Xu naturally took revenge on Li Shushi for teasing him just now. This old fox was indeed an old fox.
black.
After laughing, Jia Xu, who had relaxed his frown, handed a piece of shabby papyrus to Li Shushi.
"This is the news from the north. If it is true as stated above, I'm afraid our time is a little tight."
Although the paper used to transmit intelligence is very worthless, the content on it is worth thousands of gold, because it is mentioned that among the four counties in Hexi Province, Dunhuang County, which is closest to the Western Regions, has a team of border troops on daily patrol who lost their way and went deep into the grassland.
It was discovered that there was a marching track of a large army of troops and horses passing from east to west, and hundreds of people were passing through it.
Their surnames have all been silenced. After analysis by the Dunhuang prefect, the mysterious army has a size of tens of thousands. At present, only the Xianbei people can have such a size and have the need to march like this. Their opponents cannot have such a large army.
It may be a small country in the Western Region with no more than 10,000 troops, and they will only be Wusun people.
"In addition, according to the messenger, this news was suppressed by the prefect for more than ten days before it was sent out. If you add in the time required for the patrolling border troops to report the news and confirm it, I am afraid that at least more than a month has passed.
moon."
"Can the Wusun people hold on?"
"It's hard to say. Chigu City, Wusun's capital, is not an ordinary small city. It is said that both its geographical location and defensive capabilities are among the best in the Western Region. As long as it is not too unlucky, it can still sustain itself for a period of time."
Although Jia Xu answered like this, Li Shushi actually understood that Jia Xu was not very optimistic about the Wusun people.
"It looks like we've encountered a difficult situation."
"It's very tricky, but it's not too bad." The smile on Jia Xu's face at this time made people feel a little cold.
"How can I say this?" However, this smile gave Li Shushi an inexplicable sense of security. After all, he had a god-like comrade beside him.
"Although all the countries in the Western Regions once belonged to the Western Regions Protectorate, each country is not very peaceful. Basically every country has experienced betrayal. After all, most of them are small countries and can easily be attacked by their surroundings. The influence of a big country. As a big country in the Western Regions, Wusun is one of the countries with the most obvious performance in this regard. Not to mention that Wusun split into the big and small Kunmi and the big Han also had considerable responsibility. The big Han had to Not only did withdrawing from the Western Regions cause the Northern Huns to be wiped out and the Southern Huns to surrender, so the status of the Western Regions declined and it was not worth the Han's waste of money and food, but Wusun also contributed a lot behind the scenes."
Well, Li Shushi admitted that he still didn’t know enough about the Western Regions, and almost became the kind of idiot internationalist fighter who “tightens his belt but wants to support Al-Xia”. Fortunately, Jia Xu, who was born in Wuwei, knew far more about the Western Regions. Better than him.
"The Wusun people are already domineering and known for their bloody masculinity. Especially now that the originally divided Kunmi and Kunmi have been reunited again, the Wusun people's power has become unprecedentedly powerful. On normal days, they are afraid that they will not be able to survive at all. They will not have any respect for my big man. Therefore, in order to restrain the excessive strength of the Xianbei people, we need to assist the Wusun people, but it must be the most appropriate time to send troops when they are at the end of their rope. Judging from the Xianbei people's use of troops this time, Xu privately thought that the Wusun people Failure may be an inevitable result when people are caught off guard, but with the Wusun people's pride, strength and sometimes arrogance, they should be able to sustain themselves for a period of time even if they are defeated. In this way, we can help the Wusun people completely by providing help in times of need. Impressed."
So that's it. Li Shushi nodded. He understood what Jia Xu meant. After all, the Western Region Protectorate had disappeared in the Western Region for many years. If they entered rashly this time, they might be considered by the proud Wusun people as an invasion against them. Or, just like the Xianbei people. But if faced with the threat of national subjugation, then things will be relatively easy to talk about.
"So now my lord has two paths to choose from."
"Which two?"
"It takes a lot of time to mobilize the supplies and ordnance for the large army. Time is running out, so the lord needs to take a small number of elite troops to set off first. The advantage of this is that even if the Wusun people are defeated, before the main force of the Xianbei people arrives, the Gaoliu army should He does not have the ability to conquer Chigu City. As long as he arrives before the Xianbei army arrives, the Lord will have the ability and hope to change the fate of the Wusun people's defeat. At least several battles can prove that no one in Gaoliu's army can face it head-on. Fight against Fengxian, Zilong and several generals, including Kuitou's brothers, so that the Wusun people's morale, which was hit hard by the surprise attack, can be restored."
"What's the other way?"
"Follow the army. However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and we cannot guarantee how long the Wusun people can survive."
Well, just by looking at Jia Xu's analysis of the two paths, you can see his tendency. Although the first path seems a bit risky, it can indeed effectively control the battle situation. It does sound like a pretty good idea. But...
"But if we choose the first route, how effective can a mere thousand elite soldiers be? We do not have an effective way to communicate with the Wusun people. If we fight independently, it will be difficult for us to change the entire situation."
"My lord's concerns are indeed very reasonable, so if my lord chooses the first route, then maybe he can stop for a while in Dunhuang County, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains."
Although the smile on Jia Xu's face at this moment was still cold, it could not conceal the strong confidence in it.
It seems that this old fox has already calculated everything.
PS: Today is the day when the French Civil Code was passed and signed for promulgation. The status of this code in history, which is no longer just about civil law, cannot be overstated. Maybe Napoleon’s art of war will be gradually forgotten by people, but
This code made him truly immortal. This is the power of civilization.
PS2: Today is also the day when the famous dance artist Ulanova passed away. Of course, the first time we heard this name was because of Ai Qing’s song "To Ulanova".
PS3: Today is also the day when Ge Zhenlin, the survivor of the Five Heroes of Langya Mountain, passed away in Hengyang, Hunan. This hero is not only a fighting hero, but also a hero of the times. He and the spirit he represents are what enable the Chinese nation to stand firm.
