mountain and river oath

In the dead of night, candlelight was shining in the large tent of the Chinese army. Shu Zilan and Zhao Jing were sitting opposite each other. With an absolute advantage, the black chess has no power to recover. He put the black chess in his hand into the box and said "I lost"

Shu Zilan slowly put away the chess pieces, looked at Zhao Jing and said, "The Rouran tribe saw our army coming from a long distance at the top of the city. The soldiers are exhausted. They will definitely attack the camp tonight. When do you think they will come?"

"Hurry up, I deliberately relaxed the defense tonight, just to let them attack the camp, I believe they will not let us down," Zhao Jing said with a huff.

"Rouran attacked the camp in the middle of the night" the night guard soldiers shouted in panic.

Shu Zilan and Zhao Jing looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go" Zhao Jing said.

The two men opened the curtain and came out, got on their horses, and led the soldiers to resist. The Rouran tribe rode fast horses, as if they had entered the land of no one, and ran in the big village. When they encountered Wei soldiers, they fled with weapons before they fought. General Rouran laughed loudly, and ordered the soldiers to throw the torches in their hands to the food storage place, only to hear the Wei soldiers screaming in panic

"It's not good, it's not good, the granary is on fire"

"Fire, fire, fire"

General Rouran ran out with the soldiers.

Shu Zilan followed Zhao Jing to the burning place

"The news we spread during the day has worked. The Rouran tribe really came from here to set fire to our food and grass." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said.

"Tomorrow we will reduce the number of pots and stoves, and spread the news that night raids burned some of our food and grass," Zhao Jing said.

"As long as we don't have enough food and grass, the Rouran tribe will gradually relax their vigilance," Shu Zilan said.

"The heat is not enough, we need to continue to increase the fire," Zhao Jing said.

"It's almost dawn." Shu Zilan looked up and saw the morning star gradually rising into the sky, heralding the coming of a new day.

"Go and rest for a while." Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said.

"I'm not tired, go and rest, I'll take care of these things" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said, marching for days, Zhao Jing only rested for two hours a day and then hurried up, he had less time to rest and was more tired.

"This" Zhao Jing hesitated.

"Could it be that you don't trust me and don't worry?" Shu Zilan said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll rest for a while," Zhao Jing said.He rode back to the big tent, took off his armor, and fell into a deep sleep with his pillow wet.

A ray of golden sunlight shot warmly into the big tent, Zhao Jing slowly opened his eyes, this time he fell into a deep sleep, his tiredness was swept away, he felt all the strength in his body returned, he lifted the quilt, turned over Sitting up, she saw Shu Zilan wearing a light yellow shirt, sitting at a table not far away, holding a booklet, reading it seriously.

"Are you up?" Shu Zilan said calmly.

"What time is it?" Zhao Jing was sleepy and didn't know what time it was.

"It's evening," Shu Zilan said.

"I slept for such a long time?" Zhao Jing couldn't believe that he slept for such a long time.

"Why, don't you believe me? Go out and have a look." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing with a surprised face and smiled.

Zhao Jing opened the curtain, and the evening fire clouds burned the entire sky, and the sky and the earth were ablaze. He lowered the curtain, walked to Shu Zilan, and said apologetically, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Nothing" Shu Zilan said indifferently.

"Go to sleep, let me come and see," Zhao Jing said.

"I'm too sleepy, I can't sleep," Shu Zilan said.

"The scenery outside is just right, I'll go out with you for a walk." Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said energetically.

"Okay." Shu Zilan put down the booklet in her hand, stood up, and walked out.

There was a cool breeze blowing slowly, and the two walked out of the camp. The red fire clouds smudged their delicate silhouettes, and the long hair scattered behind their backs swayed slowly with the breeze.

Shu Zilan looked up at the endless sky,

"It's hard to see such a magnificent scenery in the capital," Zhao Jing said in Shu Zilan's ear.

"Only in the sky of Saibei can we see such a scene," Shu Zilan said.

"When I was young, I always pestered my grandfather to come to Saibei with him." Zhao Jing looked into the distance and said slowly, "He always mentioned Saibei to me. In my image, Saibei was full of wind and sand, and the people there ate meat and drank heavily, and their feelings were always so strong. direct"

"What about now?" Shu Zilan turned to look at Zhao Jing and asked.

"Saibei is still the Saibei I imagined, but it's not as beautiful. Every inch of land here is watered with blood by so many people. I only hope that this land will be peaceful forever and there will be no war," Zhao Jing said leisurely.

"Saibei is where Rouran borders the Great Wei. Once a war breaks out between the two sides, the people in Saibei will be the first to be affected," Shu Zilan said.

"That's why we have to completely defeat Rouran, so that he has no ability to start another war." Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said sonorously.

"We will definitely do it," Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said firmly.

Zhao Jing smiled, and Shu Zilan smiled slightly. The two looked at each other, feeling that they had never known each other like this before.

"Unfortunately, I can't drink," Zhao Jing said regretfully.

"When the fighting ceases, we will be drunk," Shu Zilan said.

"You're right," Zhao Jing said.

The clouds gradually dissipated, the sky gradually turned black, and the cold wind swished from behind,

"Let's go back," Zhao Jing said while looking at the sky.

"Okay" Shu Zilan said.

The two walked back hand in hand, Wang Lu arranged the food and wine in the tent, Shu Zilan sat down, not wanting to move his chopsticks, he felt very tired, but couldn't sleep, his energy was extremely high, he always felt that there were countless things to do, But I don't know what to do.

"Eat something." Zhao Jing handed the chopsticks to Shu Zilan, who shook her head slightly

"I can't eat it, you can eat it"

Zhao Jing served a bowl of porridge for Shu Zilan and said, "Let's have some porridge."

Shu Zilan reluctantly took it, picked it up and drank a little, but she really lost her appetite, so she put it on the table.

Zhao Jing ate a few mouthfuls in a hurry, removed the food, and ordered Wang Lu to simmer the porridge on the stove.

"Can't sleep yet?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan worriedly.

Shu Zilan nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about me, you go and arrange the defense of the camp tonight."

"Okay" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said, he got up and went out to arrange the defense of the camp at night, the night was dark, the lights were lit one after another, Zhao Jing walked back to the tent, candles were lit on the table, the candle wicks beeped It was beeping and burning, Shu Zilan was holding a booklet, leaning on the pillow and reading it.Zhao Jing's rushing heart suddenly calmed down. In the dead of night, there was a person sitting by the lamp waiting, how lucky he was.

"You're back." Seeing Zhao Jing coming back, Shu Zilan sat up and said.

"Yeah..." Zhao Jing walked in with a cold air, and saw Shu Zilan's tired expression.

"I'm leaving." Shu Zilan stood up and said.

"Let's sleep together," Zhao Jing said suddenly.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing in surprise.

Zhao Jing was embarrassed for a moment, not knowing what to say, his face turned red.

Shu Zilan suddenly laughed, "Have you forgotten about me and your fifth brother?"

"I don't mind." Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said.

With a mocking smile on the corner of Shu Zilan's mouth, she stopped talking and turned to leave.

Zhao Jing went out, took Shu Zilan's hand, and said anxiously, "I don't mind"

"I know" Shu Zilan broke away from Zhao Jing's hand.

"Let's sleep together," Zhao Jing said.

"I mind." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said.

Zhao Jing swallowed.

"I'm leaving." Shu Zilan turned and walked out.

Zhao Jing watched Shu Zilan's figure disappear into the night.

For a few days, Zhao Jing was on tight guard, and the Rouran clan did not attack the camp again.

On the fifth day, Zhao Jing led the soldiers to issue a gauntlet to the Rouran clan at the foot of the city. A strong archer bent his bow and shot an arrow. Unexpectedly, the arrow with the gauntlet fell down before reaching the top of the city. Laughed loudly at the head of the city.

As if Zhao Jing didn't see it, he got off his horse, stood at the foot of the wall and said loudly, "The Rouran clan has invaded our Great Wei land all the way, so I'm here to attack and fight against Rouran."

The people in the city laughed even more happily. One was wearing a gold silk embroidered cloak, with several braids tied on his head, and a round oriental bead was embedded in each braid. He said to the people around him, "Who is he?" ?”

"Prince, he is Zhao Jing, the sixth prince of the Great Wei Dynasty," said the person beside him.

"I've never heard of it, why did the emperor of Wei send such an unknown person here? Could it be that there is no one in Wei, afraid that I will be soft?" Moge said with a smile.

"Prince, don't underestimate the enemy," said a literati beside Mogg.

Mogg turned around impatiently. He hated such literati the most. He was as timid as a mouse at any time and dared not move forward.

"My Rouran clan is attacking all the way, as if entering no man's land, Huang Kou is afraid of what he will do, prince, I will eventually be willing to meet this prince of Wei for a while," a general said disapprovingly.

"Okay, let's go," Mogg said with all his heart.

The general took the order and went out of the city with weapons.

Zhao Jing was slightly disappointed when he saw a general leading a group of soldiers push through the city gate, it wasn't Moge.

"I am Yin Da, a Rouran warrior"

"Go ahead, you are only allowed to lose but not win," Zhao Jing whispered to the generals beside him.

The general looked at Zhao Jing puzzled, Zhao Jing waved his hand, and the general walked up reluctantly.The two fought in front of the formation, Yin Da pressed on step by step, the general retreated step by step, Yin Da led the Rouran soldiers to rush forward, the general threw the soldiers and fled, and the neat team collapsed immediately, Zhao Jing hurried out to cover, and ordered to call gold Withdraw the troops and rush back to the camp with the broken team.

Mogg laughed on the city wall, and all the generals immediately rushed up to congratulate him. The scribes looked at Mogg and planned to say something. Surrounded by the generals, Mogg ordered his servants to set up wine and hold a banquet, and wanted to have fun with the warriors all night long. drink.

The scribe watched Mogg walk away and sighed heavily.

The little Tonger asked in confusion, "Now that we have won a great victory, why is Mr. sighing?"

"The sixth prince is clearly showing weakness. In fact, he is making the opponent more arrogant. Pride is bound to be defeated. The sixth prince of the Great Wei Dynasty has good means and good intentions. Prince Moge is not his opponent. Let's leave this right and wrong quickly." land," said the scribe.

"We can go back to the grassland," Tong'er said innocently.

"With him in the Wei Dynasty, the grassland will not be peaceful sooner or later, let's leave," the scribe said.

"Sir, won't you tell the king?" Tong'er asked.

"So what if I tell? Rouran's army has won all the way, and they have already despised Wei in their hearts. I went to persuade them, but how could they listen? It's better to leave, let's go" the scribe sighed.

Tong'er followed the scribes down the wall and left secretly.

Zhao Jing went back with the broken army. In the central army tent, everyone looked at Zhao Jing with dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Your Highness, tomorrow I will lead the soldiers, and I must kill the momentum of the Rouran clan," a general came out dissatisfied.

"His grandma, a barbarian dares to look down on us, grandma, if you don't give him some color, I won't be able to sleep at night."

"Why don't we sneak up to the city gate at night, kill him quietly, and destroy the momentum of the barbarians?"

All the generals were talking happily below, Zhao Jing suddenly said, "Shut up, everyone!"

The generals looked at Zhao Jing indignantly, and the speaker bowed his head unwillingly.

A general came out suddenly and said, "Your Highness, do you want us to be cowards? I don't agree? The last general asks to go to the battle. Let him see the majesty of my great Wei."

Zhao Jing looked at the general and said, "Zhu He is lawless, pull him out to fight twenty big boards"

After hearing this, the generals of "His Royal Highness" stepped forward to intercede.

"Your Highness, is it wrong for the last general to ask for a fight? Are we going to hold back and dare not fight Rouran?" Zhu He objected.

"Your Highness, the general thinks that Vice-General Zhu He is right. Ever since we fought against Rouran, we have been at a disadvantage. The Rouran tribe ridicules the Wei soldiers for their cowardice at the top of the city every day. The general is willing to fight with General Zhu against Rouran." "The military commander who went out to fight said angrily.

After hearing this, all the generals showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

Zhao Jing looked at Zhu He with a rebellious expression on his face, "Who is the main general?"

Zhu He looked at Zhao Jing and said stiffly, "Of course it's Your Highness."

"Who takes orders in the army?" Zhao Jing looked at Zhu He and asked.

"Listen to Your Highness," Zhu He said.

"What did I say?" Zhao Jing looked at Zhu He and asked.

Zhu He looked at Zhao Jing unconvinced and said, "Your Highness does not allow us to take the initiative to fight, but the barbarian broke through the three passes of the Great Wei all the way, arrogant, I will definitely destroy the barbarian's arrogance."

"Then you think I misdirected, and you should be the chief general?" Zhao Jing looked at Zhu He closely.

After hearing this, Zhu He didn't dare to raise his head to look at Zhao Jing.

"Do you mean it?" Zhao Jing asked sharply.

Zhu He dared not speak.

"Despise the general, violate the military order, come here, and pull Zhu He out to beat fifty big boards," Zhao Jing said.

Immediately, soldiers came up and tied up Zhu He, and there was a sound of slapping boards hitting the flesh outside the tent, and there was silence in the tent, everyone bowed their heads, not daring to say a word.

Zhao Jing looked at the low-browed generals, knowing that they were docile on the surface but dissatisfied in their hearts, he said, "I know that you have a lot of dissatisfaction in your heart, but you must have heard that I have issued a military order in front of the emperor. Expelled from the territory of the Great Wei, I sacrificed my life to die. Now I swear in front of you that I, Zhao Jing, will definitely lead you to defeat the Rouran clan. Today's dormancy is for tomorrow's victory. I hope we can unite and join hands in the great cause "

The generals listened, looked at Zhao Jing hesitantly, and said for a long time, "The final general is willing to listen to orders."

Zhao Jing smiled in satisfaction.
