Yanyunguan, the north wind howls, the lonely smoke in the wilderness, the sunset over the long river, the flags hunting... This is the most important pass in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it is also the pass where the Xiao family has been stationed for decades.
The Xiao family army is in the city!
Xiao Xuanye was welcomed into the city by the soldiers of the Xiao family army. There was joy, hope and fulfillment in the eyes of those people... Even though they had only single clothes under their armor, their exposed hands had big cuts, and their eyes were filled with frost and frost.
, but still cheering to welcome their new marshal.
Xiao Xuanye didn't even need to take out the weapon talisman that was coveted by everyone, it was enough for him to stand here!
"Commander!"
"Commander!"
After not seeing each other for a few months, those soldiers seemed to have become much older. They used to always call him "Second Young Master" with a smile.
I am still smiling now, but with tears in my laughter.
In the past few months, the Southern Barbarians have been watching with eagerness, and disasters have occurred in various parts of the country. Coupled with the suspicion of the Tang Emperor, Yanyunguan has not received military pay for an unknown period of time, and even the food and grass for the men and horses have to be found on their own.
The north wind was howling, but they were still wearing single clothes. Even before winter, there were already cracks on their hands and faces.
But they always stick to this place, intimidating the hyena-like Southern Barbarian cavalry.
Xiao Xuanye walked all the way into the military camp, and it was time for dinner, and then he saw the Xiao family's army's food.
Large wooden barrels were brought out one by one, and the water in them was so thin that people could almost be seen... Those eight-foot-tall soldiers ate such meals every day, wore thin old clothes, and kept guarding every step of the way.
At Yanyunguan Pass.
Finally, Xiao Xuanye returned to the handsome manor and sat alone in the study in silence.
He was extremely familiar with this place. He used to follow his elder brother in and out, watching the soldiers come and go... Now, it was deserted and deserted.
He originally wanted to show the soldiers the heads of those who had deducted military pay or slandered the Xiao family army, but it was not until this moment that he realized that those people who were inferior to pigs and dogs were not worth a penny at all, and their heads were not worthy either.
To motivate these soldiers.
The only thing he can do is to let these soldiers not have to worry about survival when they are guarding the border, and they don't have to shed tears when they bleed!
Xiao Xuanye called Hou's lieutenant outside, intending to first solve the problem of food and clothing for the soldiers at Yanyunguan.
He has money, but the problem now is that all the states and counties are suffering from famine, and the foolish king has cut off three layers of his skin by exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes to build a palace. I am afraid that he will have no place to buy food and clothing even with the money.
In the meeting hall, the generals of the Xiao family army came in and out until it was almost dark, and Xiao Xuanye stopped temporarily. Not long after, Su Luan knocked on the door and came in with three dishes and one soup on the tray.
Xiao Xuanye fell silent when he saw the food on the tray.
For the commander-in-chief of an army, this meal was really simple, but he knew that the people below must have tried their best to make it for him.
Su Luan's expression was also a little downcast. She put the tray in front of him and said, "This is lunch for you, me and Sheng Nuan. I saw that none of those people had anything to eat... Sheng Nuan said she wasn't hungry.
, let me bring it to you."
Xiao Xuanye pursed his lips and hummed.
At this moment, a shadow flew in: "Master, Miss Sheng left the city and headed towards Youzhou."
Xiao Xuanye froze suddenly, and the next moment, he smiled wryly at himself.
Why did he leave her behind? To endure hardships with him?
She never owed him anything from the beginning to the end. She saved him when he was a child, and now she has accompanied him here through life and death... Why should he continue to ask her to accompany him?
Su Luan sat down: "If you don't want to eat, I will eat it myself."
She was so hungry that she really missed the food in Youzhou City. It was so close, but why was there such a big difference? Alas!
Su Luan sat there eating his own food. Xiao Xuanye got up and walked to the table, picked up the pen and laid out the paper. After a pause, he began to write: Put the wife's letter...
It was written after a while. He quietly looked at the letter of release from his wife written by his brother in front of him, paused, picked it up, blew on it, folded it and put it in his chest, got up and walked out.
He went to see her off and free her!
Xiao Xuanye caught up with Sheng Nuan at the foot of Yanyun Mountain. When he arrived, Sheng Nuan was standing alone at the foot of the mountain looking at Yanyun Mountain, as if thinking about something.
Xiao Xuanye paused and rode over.
Sheng Nuan saw him: "Why are you here?"
Xiao Xuanye forced a smile: "I'm here to give you something."
"oh……"
Sheng Nuan waved to him: "Let's go and have a look."
Xiao Xuanye was a little suspicious. He didn't know what Sheng Nuan wanted to show him, so he just dismounted and followed her towards the mountains. However, he stopped after walking for a short time and stared at the scene in front of him, his expression a little stiff.
It's late autumn and winter is about to begin, but Yanyun Mountain should be in depression...
On the hillside in front of him was an endless cornfield. It was lush and green, and the huge corn cobs looked very plump. There were potatoes under the cornfield, and the branches and vines were densely packed.
What's even more incredible is that in the cornfield, groups of wild boars are scurrying back and forth, eating potatoes from the ground.
"Miscalculation!" Sheng Nuan muttered to himself.
She only wanted to get some wild boars, but she forgot that the wild boars wanted to eat.
"You'd better have someone hunt the wild boars quickly, otherwise they will eat up all the food..."
Xiao Xuanye turned to look at her blankly, his lips moved, and Sheng Nuan immediately said: "Don't ask!"
Xiao Xuanye pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this time, the customer service suddenly said: "The host's behavior arouses the suspicion of the characters in the plane, and he will be punished with electric shock."
The next moment, Sheng Nuan let out a low cry, held her head and took a breath. Xiao Xuanye quickly supported the person: "What's wrong with you?"
Sheng Nuan waved his hand and waited for a while before the stinging feeling disappeared.
"Hurry and call someone, haven't you seen so many wild boars?" Sheng Nuan urged.
Xiao Xuanye raised his hand, and several black shadows flew past... and started to kill the pig.
Xuan Yingwei was overqualified for killing pigs. Not long after, those fat wild boars were littered with corpses. Someone went back to call for help, and Sheng Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, she was a little hesitant just now, but when she thought of the way the dark and skinny little maid in Shuai's Mansion had devoured half of the black bun and then carefully brought the three dishes and one soup to her that she had finally made,
She felt that she couldn't just sit back and watch.
She also knew that in the original plot, the Southern Barbarians would invade in large numbers soon... The Xiao family army, which was short of food and clothing, did drive the Southern Barbarians away, but the battle was extremely tragic.
Their men and horses are very weak, and they are just risking their lives on the battlefield...
Sheng Nuan walked slowly out of the mountain. Xiao Xuanye held her arm and walked beside her silently.
Sheng Nuan suddenly remembered something and turned to look at him: "You just said you would give me something, what did you give me?"
Xiao Xuanye's expression froze slightly, and he was silent for a moment, then tentatively said: "Sending warmth?"
Sheng Nuan looked at him expressionlessly, and then the line popped up.
She smiled coldly: "Cuiguo, smash his mouth!"
Xiao Xuanye's eyes were innocent: "Who to hit?"
Sheng Nuan sneered: "Hit whoever lies!"
Xiao Xuanye pulled her out with a troubled expression: "Go back and tell me, it's too windy here so you can't hear clearly..."
Sheng Nuan:?
The wind was so strong, why didn't your tongue flash?
