Tang riddles

Li Jinyue later recalled that leaving Chang'an might have been a very correct choice for her.With her character back then, staying in Chang'an to grow up may have become the group of people she least wanted to be.Cunning, scheming, step by step, those fights that make her sick will swallow her up, maybe she will really forget the ambition of Qingyun that she didn't meet in Liuwei back then, and sink forever.

There is an indescribable magical power in the vast sky in the northwest, which can make you become a bird, soaring high, forgetting all the flies and dogs, dirty and chaotic currents, knowing your own smallness and the vastness of the world, it can expand Your mind makes you no longer limited and no longer single.

Li Jinyue not only wants to be a bird, she also wants to be a Kunpeng, soaring across the world, spreading her wings, and soaring upwards.Use the violent wind around you as a sword, cut off the cowardly self in the past, shake off the shackles around you, and make yourself an enemy.

As the daughter of the royal family, her special status provided her with the convenience of joining the army.No one would refuse her to join on the grounds that the military camp does not allow women to enter. Her arrival is the emperor's order.Therefore, the generals had to arrange a separate camp for her, and she also had the right to select three women with outstanding qualifications from the descendants of the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion as her personal soldiers.

Cheng Yi, a descendant of Duke Cheng Yaojin of the State of Lu.Xu Jie, a descendant of British Duke Xu Shiji.Yuchiyan, descendant of Yuchi Jingde, Duke of E.These three girls became the most important people in her life from then on. They were born and died, bathed in bloody battlefields, shared happiness, sorrow, fear, and anger with each other, walked out of despair hand in hand, and walked into hope with the wind and sand all over them.How grateful she is to spend these years in the frontier, allowing her to understand what life is and what true strength is.

Starting from Chang'an, she walked for more than half a year before reaching Hexi.Liangzhou, the residence of the Hexi Jiedu envoy, and the residence of the Xiao family in Lanling.The appearance here is completely different from that of Chang'an. You can't see the flashy scenery, but you can see the toughness after being polished by rough yellow sand.Strong buildings, strong people, strong swords, and straight waists welcome Li Jinyue's arrival unrelentingly.

The Lanling Xiao family, descendants of the Qi and Liang royal families, once ascended the throne, for them it was not an honor, but a humiliation.Because of the poorness of their ancestors, the descendants of later generations lost their country forever.They walked from the soft misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, walked all the way into the northwest where the yellow sand was all over the sky, and took root steadily.There are quite a few other members of the Xiao family, and most of them have moved south. Only this family has come to the border area. Its ancestors can be said to be tough and unambitious.The land of Liangshan strangles the throat of Longxi, rejects Tubo in the southwest, connects the four towns of Anxi and other small countries in the northwest, blocks Turks in the north, and is the four towns of Longyou - Dunhuang in Shazhou, Jinchang in Guazhou, Jiuquan in Suzhou, Zhangye in Ganzhou Important rear.With one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, it is an extremely important northwest barrier of the Tang Dynasty.

Such a Lanling Xiao family is extremely prominent in the Tang Dynasty, and its status is more prominent than the many aristocratic families in Shandong, and it has the momentum of the first aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty.In peacetime, the Xiao family was an eyesore, and the Tang royal family was always worried about them.After the Tubo disaster came, they became the most important resistance force of the Tang Dynasty, and they had to make good use of it.With such a delicate situation, the new emperor of the Tang royal family had to be cautious and marry his daughter far away in exchange for stability.

Xiao Sinan, Xingba, is the youngest of the eight cousins ​​born in the Lanling Xiao family.Even so, the age has reached the crown.The name Sinan is taken from the Analects of Confucius's "Jiu Si, See Simming, Listening Sicong, Se Si Wen, Appearance Thinking Courteous, Words Thinking Loyalty, Things Thinking Respect, Doubts and Questions, Anger Thinking Difficulties, Seeing Thinking Meaning.Because there are only eight brothers, the last name of Siyi was given to the eldest daughter of the eldest son.

Although Xiao Sinan's rank is small, he is the one with the most military talent among his brothers.He practiced martial arts since he was a child, so he has a good marksmanship, is skilled in riding and shooting, and has high martial arts skills.In addition, he has a sense of direction that others cannot match, and he can come and go freely in the wilderness without getting lost.He has an innate view of the overall situation. When he is on the battlefield, he is like an eagle overlooking from a high altitude. He can see the enemy's direction and quickly judge where to intercept and encircle him.Such a brave and skilled general obviously immediately became the focus of Xiao's training.At the age of just reaching the crown, he was sent to the front line against Tubo, leading an army of tens of thousands to fight.

When Li Jinyue first arrived in Hexi, she was unable to meet her future husband-in-law, and it was precisely because of this.However, due to Li Jinyue's young age, the marriage was agreed to take place in two years' time, so right now she still prioritizes fighting against the enemy.

Li Jinyue took Cheng Yan, Xu Jie and Yu Chiyan into the barracks for training.They did not accept Xiao's courtesy, but treated themselves as ordinary soldiers, starting from the lowest level.Except for not living in a tent with male soldiers, eating and training are all the same.Crawling and rolling on the battlefield, training the body, tempering the will, and growing up step by step.

However, the climate in the northwest was really harsh. Just a few months after they arrived at the Hexi Army, Xu Jie finally fell seriously ill because he didn't adapt to the climate here.This illness almost killed her, and she finally walked back from the gate of hell. The military doctor said that she could no longer bow and shoot, even if she exercised a little vigorously, it would bring about the consequences of the disease.Xu Jie retired from the battlefield sadly, but her sisters have been encouraging her all the time. She has a smart mind and a stable personality, and she should develop in the direction of a military advisor.Xu Jie has a strong heart and will not be easily defeated. From then on, he worked hard to study the art of war, was diligent in thinking, and made suggestions.In the continuous accumulation of experience, gradually grow up.

Li Jinyue, Cheng Yan, and Yu Chiyan trained harder, and actively participated in every military operation, using all the senses of the body to observe, memorize, and learn how the generals lead troops. At night, the three of them and Xu Jie gathered together In one place, discuss and think, compare the art of war in the book with actual combat, and draw experience.The marching map in their tent was covered with marks, rubbed so hard that it was almost unrecognizable.Every night, Xu Jie was almost the last one to go to sleep. Before going to bed, she would record all the discussions and use them as reference materials.Every ten days, they will make a summary to absorb all available experience.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old children have extremely strong learning ability.During those two years, Li Jinyue grew the fastest.She really forgot the feeling of despair when she was in Chang'an, and threw herself into the training in the barracks with all her heart.In just two years, she and Cheng Yan, Yu Chiyan, and Xu Jie had repeatedly made meritorious deeds and were promoted repeatedly. When Xiao Sinan returned from the front line, she had already become a regimental lieutenant in the Hexi Army. Yan and Yu Chiyan were both her brigade commanders, and Xu Jie became a member of the staff.

That year, Li Jinyue was 17 years old, Lanling Xiao arranged for her to marry Xiao Sinan.The wedding process is neither complicated nor ostentatious, and the bloody spirit of a soldier is revealed everywhere.When he was in the bridal chamber that night, Xiao Sinan made it clear to her that he would not touch her when she didn't want to, and confessed that he already had someone he loved and he didn't want to let her down.

While Li Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief, her affection for Xiao Sinan also increased greatly.Although this person can't be a real husband and wife, he can be a good brother. With such great love and righteousness, it is worth making friends with.

Xiao Jiaerlang's appearance has a unique connotation.It retains the elegance and elegance of the Jiangnan era, but it is also mixed with the fortitude and masculinity of the frontier battlefields of the Longyou era.Xiao Sinan is a typical representative.When they didn't meet, Li Jinyue thought that he was a military man of high rank and three rough, but only after meeting him did he realize that he was actually a Confucian general like Zhou Gongjin of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

Li Jinyue has also met his beloved. The woman's surname is Zhao, she is the daughter of Zhao's Medical Center in Liangzhou City.But the two of them hit it off, which made Li Jinyue feel that her presence was a bit redundant.Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao is a reasonable woman, gentle and friendly, even when she sees the wife of her beloved Mingmei, her attitude is as gentle as spring breeze.Li Jinyue would not stop Xiao Sinan from marrying her as a concubine, someone around her whispered in her ears, saying that even if she had no relationship with Xiao Sinan, but her husband took a concubine immediately after the wedding, it was really a disgrace.But Li Jinyue didn't care, she even urged Xiao Sinan to bring Mrs. Zhao into the mansion as soon as possible.

"I see Brother Sinan, killing enemies on the battlefield and bathing in blood is really in danger. You take advantage of this time to marry and have children with sister Zhao's family as soon as possible, lest you, I won't give birth to you after we break up in the future."

What Li Jinyue said as a joke turned out to be a prophecy a few years later.

After she married Xiao Sinan, she was transferred with Xiao Sinan to the Anxi Dufu Mansion and entered the Dunhuang garrison area to train soldiers.Mrs. Zhao also went with her. This time, she went to Anxi Duhu Mansion, just to set up troops, not to fight, but it was also stable.This period of time was the period when Li Jinyue settled down. The skills she learned from Hexi Military High School were digested and absorbed to a certain extent here, and transformed into her real skills.She also followed Xiao Sinan, and learned a lot of very practical skills and knowledge on the battlefield, how to distinguish the direction in the desert yellow sand, how to find out the enemy's movements, Xiao Sinan's military quality was far beyond her reach, and she even humbly asked for advice.The relationship between the two is not like a husband and wife at all, but like brothers and sisters who are both teachers and friends.

The vast desert is extremely charming with exotic customs.In Dunhuang, Li Jinyue was not only spent in the military camp, she also went to appreciate the splendid cave murals and sculptures in Dunhuang.Countless painters of the Tang Dynasty spent a long life here.The works left in the cave are awe-inspiring.Looking at the compassionate statue of Buddha and the stretched flying fairy, Li Jinyue suddenly felt that killing on the battlefield should not be just to destroy the enemy and seek peace, but the ultimate goal.Fighting for the souls is a righteous battle. The Buddha statues in Dunhuang have been here for hundreds of years, and I don’t know how many lives and deaths they have watched. She is also one of the passers-by.Life is too short to make great achievements.

The war with Tubo in the 11th year of Kaiyuan was not a tragic one.Hexi Army, Longyou Army, almost all available troops were dispatched.Li Jinyue and others' troops received the mission, pulled out their battalion and left Dunhuang, and went south into the Tubo territory, where they made a detour to the north of Tubo to ambush and attack the rear of the main Tubo army in Longyou.

It was October, and the temperature in the frontier had already dropped to a very low level. When crossing the Dangjin Mountains in the west of the Qilian Mountains, the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and the army could hardly move.The cold wind in the mountains is biting, the armor is icy, the air is thin, and it is difficult to breathe.The team had to walk without stopping, and if they stopped, they were in danger of freezing to death.The thickest part of the snow was buried up to the waist, and the road was almost impassable, and we had to take turns to shovel the snow.As the leaders of the army, Xiao Sinan and Li Jinyue resisted the tremendous pressure, set an example, and led the team out of Dangjin Mountain. When they walked out of the inaccessible mountains, the sky and the earth were rising. At that moment, Li Jinyue felt the magnificence of life, which is still remembered today still fresh.

Nearly half of the team was lost, but still according to the original plan, they detoured from the rear and attacked the rear of the Tubo army.In that battle, Datang was victorious, blood covered the snow-covered ground, and floating corpses were everywhere.Li Jinyue's brigade marched separately from Xiao Sinan, attacking from two fronts.After the battle, Li Jinyue cleaned up the battlefield, but the bad news came.

Xiao Balang attracted the main force of the Tubo army to chase after him fiercely, supported him independently with his meager military strength, and led his brothers in a bloody fight without calling for help. In the end, he was killed in battle with several knives and arrows in his body.

The blood-stained sword in Li Jinyue's hand fell to the ground, and her blood-stained face was full of shock and disbelief.That man who was always masculine and confident, full of wisdom and experience in the battlefield, just died like this?The two-line attack was a strategy proposed by Li Jinyue, and he also adopted it.The Great Snow Mountain has come out, how could it be... how could it be like this...

The son of him and sister Zhao's family is only three years old...

"It's too tragic, it's too tragic..." The blood and tears on the messenger's face froze on his face, and he couldn't cry.

Why not ask for help, why support independently?Li Jinyue still couldn't understand.Her army is not far from him, he can call for help.With his ability, there is no need to fight against Tubo at all, it is very easy to turn the horse's head around and avoid a direct confrontation.

Only later did she understand that it wasn't that he didn't ask for help, but that he himself was the one to rescue.More than ten years ago, Princess Jincheng married Chide Zuzan of Tubo.However, Chide Zuzan married Princess Jincheng, but did not abide by the marriage agreement, and repeatedly put Princess Jincheng under house arrest and sent troops to the Tang Dynasty.Li Shouli, the king of Bin, was annoyed, so he disobeyed the military order and sent troops to attack the right side of Tubo.And he was so stupid that he personally led the army to attack, luring the Tubo general to capture him for meritorious service.As a result, all the Tubo troops were attracted to the right.At that time, Xiao Sinan's army was ambushing in a surprise attack on the rear right, and suddenly encountered an unimaginable force, and had to respond hastily, which almost wiped out the entire army.Xiao Sinan risked his life to rescue Li Shouli, but he himself died heroically.

He probably foresaw that this battle would be the last of his military career. He didn't ask for help, and he didn't want Li Jinyue to rescue him, because saving him would be tantamount to suicide.

A generation of generals in the Tang Dynasty fell like this, and the person who took care of her and taught her like a big brother left just like that. Li Jinyue's anger and grief cannot be expressed in words. Yi Yi swung his sword and beheaded Li Shouli.The only thing that comforted her was that Li Shouli did get the punishment he deserved in the end.

There is no need for the princess of the Tang Dynasty to be a widow for her son-in-law for the rest of her life.But Li Jinyue chose to stay in the Hexi Army, stayed in the Xiao family, and took care of the Zhao family and her young son.

However, fate obviously would not let her go so easily. After only two months, at the end of the twelfth lunar month, Li Jinyue suddenly received three recall orders from Chang'an, asking her to remove her armor and return to Beijing immediately.

With a pale complexion, she hurried back to Chang'an, and learned on the way that her mother had an accident.And when she was still seven days away from Chang'an, the bad news almost destroyed her.

Her mother left her forever.

The author has something to say: writing a biography by character is a good opportunity for testing.Chishi is obviously not as popular as Lotus Maid, and Mao Mao is far behind these two.The difference in the number of comments is too obvious. 【doge】

PS: Xu Shiji is Li Ji, one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. Because of his outstanding contributions, he was given the surname Li.But he has an arrogant grandson named Li Jingye.At that time there was also a wild student named King Luo Bin.Because of the cancer of the straight man, the two couldn't understand Wu Zetian's power, so Li Jingye formed an army in the southeast to attack Wu Zetian.And King Luo Bin wrote an article "Request for Martial Affairs on behalf of Li Jingye", the most famous sentence "Look at today's domain, who knows the world!", that is an impassioned one.However, the world still belonged to the Emperor Wu, and the old Xu family's first family name was completely ruined by this grandson, the bestowed surname was taken back, and the surname was changed to Xu again.Otherwise, Xu Yujie should be named Li.
