Yunqi Jiangxin

Chang Le often said that after having a child, it always feels like time flies by. When Rong Xun received Wang Nuo's wedding invitation from Eunuch An, he finally felt the same way.

Half a year has passed in a flash, and the two people who can quarrel eight times a day are now getting married.Thinking of Wang Nuo, who had a flirtatious face and claimed to love the bird-like personality the most, finally fell into the hands of Tu Wan, who could beat him to the ground with a single roar, really... gratifying.

He looked at the three little princes who were sleeping soundly on the bed, and thought that this summer has passed more than a month, and it is indeed a good time to go out.

Three days later, he set off from Kyoto on a white horse and went all the way south to Qianzhou. One and a half months later, Rong Xun stopped and stopped all the way to Wang Nuo's hometown, and the wedding was three days away.

I haven't seen each other for half a year, and they are both the same, Wang Nuo is still acting like a fool, Tu Wan doesn't change her hot nature, it's just that there is more love in the wild.Rong Xun also met the legendary old housekeeper, who was very similar to Eunuch An in both appearance and age. Arrangements were made for the arrival and departure. He also saw Niuzi's family of three. Niuzi's daughter-in-law was pregnant. Plump with a happy face.

On the invitation, Wang Nuo talked about Rong Xun's life-saving grace to Tu Wan and his brother and sister-in-law, and repeatedly pleaded that he must come to watch the ceremony. Now that they are happy and happy, Rong Xun is also very happy.

After watching the ceremony, Rong Xun stayed in Qianzhou for a few more days, then made a detour to the north, and arrived in Kyoto in a month and a half.After seeing the sunny day in Changle, it was only after returning to the palace that the war between Yongzhou and Dingzhou had started. Long Xiu ignored the opposition and took command a month ago to set off.

After Chixi was included in Huang Yu's territory, it was divided into Yong, Ding, Ping, and Shun prefectures, and Yong and Ding prefectures were the new national boundaries.It's just that Rong Xun was forced to bring two hidden guards with him when he set off, and there were correspondences along the way, but he didn't even have a word about the war.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Eunuch An looked at Rong Xun's angry look, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty ordered, you must not tell His Highness."

Rong Xunsi thought that he hadn't heard about the conscription all the way, so he grabbed Mr. An and questioned him carefully, only then did he know that the Chixi royal family who had fled a few years ago gathered a bunch of foreign powers from nowhere, intending to take advantage of Huang Yu was not completely stable, and regained part of the land and political power in Chixi.

Long Xiu originally didn't plan to conscript himself, but in the past five years, many people from Yuan Dasheng and Xin Kingdom moved here, and they have settled down. Recently, there have been many massacres of immigrants by Chixi locals. Thinking of the spread of royal power, Only then did Long Xiu get angry, and decided to frighten them once and for all, so he didn't dare to think anything wrong again.

The five-year corvee exemption enacted by Long Xiu back then has not yet ended, and the original Dasheng people in Huangyu territory are also very disgusted with the war. After receiving the battle report, Long Xiu did not announce it. The divided Xizhou and Zhenzhou dispatched [-] elite soldiers, and the war started immediately.

Not to mention Rong Xun, most of Huang Yu's citizens still don't know that the war has started.

After hearing this, Rong Xun was very disturbed. He had fought against Chixi for many years, even though he directly killed the old emperor and the second prince of Chixi, but he also knew that Chixi had always had a tough folk style, and there were still a few good fighters in the royal family who fled back then.After tossing and turning all night, thinking that the peaceful life and work that I saw along the way might be destroyed, I changed my clothes and went straight to the border the next day.

Eunuch An couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to hand him a letter and half a mask. Long Xiu told him that if he insisted on coming, he would take the letter so that he could go all the way without hindrance.

20 days later, when Rong Xun arrived in Junzhou, Huang Yu had already fought a moderate battle with the Chixi Imperial Clan Allied Forces. When he saw the "Huang" flag with the black and yellow border all over the sky, he put on a mask and went straight to the barracks .

When he heard the news, Long Xiuxiu was discussing with Song Yan, Mu Jin, and Xing Ye about the new formation plan, and had someone lead him in directly.

But when he arrived at the military camp, Rong Xun suddenly remembered that five years ago, he had fought life and death with the soldiers, large and small, in this military camp, and his heart twitched for a moment, and he followed silently.

Seeing Rong Xun wearing a mask, Long Xiu narrowed his eyes, walked up to Rong Xun and said to the three, "This is Rong Qi, my counselor."

Several generals saluted one after another, and Mu Jin was straightforward, and opened his mouth to ask: "Why is Mr. Rong wearing a mask..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Song Yan who was on the side clapping his hands.

As the eldest brother of the three, Song Yan has always been cautious and meticulous. He bowed to Rong Xun and said: "Young brother is reckless, I hope you don't mind."

Rong Xun waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Long Xiu pulled him to the front of the map, and roughly talked about the strength of the two sides, the composition of the enemy army, including the last time the two armies engaged in a test, Rong Xun listened quietly, and Long Xiu led him to the big table beside him On the side, on the top is the local equipment brought back from the battlefield or by Xi Zuo, scattered in a pile.

"What do you think?" After all the introductions, Long Xiu turned to Rong Xun and asked.

Rong Xun thought for a while and said: "This time the foreign vassals rebelled, but it was the original royal family of Chixi who assembled, and they must have promised them a lot of benefits. Therefore, first, find a way to find out where the original royal family of Chixi is, and hunt them down with all their strength. , once they die, there will be no one to share the spoils, and the so-called alliance is a free game."

He paused, and added: "It's autumn now, and the foreign domain has adapted to the severe cold. It would be best if we can finish it before winter. If they are not resistant to war, they will encircle and suppress them with a large army. Of course, whether it is autumn or winter, the individual combat capabilities of foreign domains are better than ours. We must not fight with many or blindly pursue them, so as not to fall into their plan to lure the enemy to separate. All teams The number of people needs to be more than 300 people, and they will fight together.”

Long Xiu didn't interrupt, and Mu Jin nodded again and again: "Sir, that's how we had the Sentinel before."

Rong Xun nodded slightly, and he picked up a knife on the table. The shape of the knife was very strange, with a curved tip, but the whole knife surface was turned outwards. Decorated look.Said: "If this sword is held by infantry, it will be very difficult to use. It must be equipped by cavalry. Many tribes in the foreign domain originally favored cavalry. With heavy armor, the ability to break through is terrible. If this sword is held by cavalry..."

He waved his hand casually, his expression changed, and he searched the table for a while, and found a wooden stick with metal decorations on both ends. He looked at the side of the stick, and he held a knife in one hand and a stick in the other, with the ends intertwined. Twist again, and said: "When this knife is held alone, it can be used to meet the cavalry coming from the opposite side, and take off the head with one knife. But it is more suitable to change it into a knife like this, swing it down and forward, and cut off the sword. The horse feet of the oncoming cavalry."

Song Yan cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you are really sharp. We stole this from the enemy before. It took me a long time to figure it out. Sir, you know it right away."

Rong Xun nodded: "Don't dare, it's just scrap iron, so there must not be many of them."

"Yes, in the last battle, I didn't see them take out this weapon."

"If there are not many, there is nothing to be afraid of. We can deal with it in this way: first, put special iron plates on the horse legs of the first charge cavalry, and it is best to paint them in the color of the horse legs. second, equipped with iron crossbows, and when they saw the heavy cavalry holding this knife, they would concentrate on attacking; Skip them and give them a shot back."

After some words, several generals were convinced by the counselor who descended from the sky. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Long Xiu said, "Song Yan, draw up an array and a battle line map according to what you discussed today. We will discuss it tomorrow. Let's rest." .”

The generals nodded, and Song Yan said, "I'll go and arrange a camp for Mr. Rong."

But Long Xiu waved his hand and said: "No need," he said, and added: "Add a small bed to my camp, so I don't have to call him when I have something to do."

Song Yan was taken aback for a moment, Mu Jin just wanted to say that he should arrange a tent closer to him, but before he could open his mouth, Song Yan had already said "yes", turned around to signal him to shut up, and then took the two of them out up.

After leaving the tent, Mu Jin asked curiously, "Brother Song, why don't you let me talk? How could His Majesty's tent be settled so casually?"

Song Yan didn't know how to answer him, and he was also surprised, but when this Mr. Rong just arrived, His Majesty opened his mouth to say what he could say.Then he said: "Don't ask! How much did you think of what Mr. Rong said just now?"

Mu Jin pouted aggrievedly, Xing Ye said, "I think this Mr. Rong looks a little thin, otherwise it would be a pity to be a counselor."

Hearing this sentence, Song Yan's eyelids twitched somehow, thin?More than ten years ago, he had inadvertently witnessed that His Highness the Sixth Highness, who was not a weaker crown, went out to fight.

He sighed, and said: "Anyway, we have to end the battle before the Spring Festival, so that the family can have a reunion year." Seeing his companion nodding, he said: "Xing Ye, what did you say about the supervision of the Chixi people earlier? Deploy it as soon as possible, and hand it over to His Majesty tomorrow, so we know what to expect."

Xing Ye nodded, and he turned back and said to Mu Jin: "About the issue of leggings for heavy armored horses, you should hurry up and communicate with the people in the Ordnance Department to see if it can be realized. Let's take a number of [-] for now and see how long it will take to make it." ?”

"Okay!" Mu Jin snapped his fingers, and the three of them dispersed.

In Longxiu's tent, Rong Xun watched the soldiers coming in and out carrying a simple bed, some food, and even a bowl of herbal porridge, and sighed inwardly, he couldn't hide on the battlefield.

Long Xiu knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and when everyone retreated, he went to remove his mask, and Rong Xun avoided it: "Let me wear it, in case someone comes in..."

Long Xiu smiled: "They will report." He took off his mask, sat down to eat together, and watched him drink up the medicinal food.

After eating, Long Xiu took him around the camp, and then led him out on horseback to the sentry post to inspect for a while before returning to the camp to rest. Along the way, soldiers and generals at all levels saw Long Xiu Saluting, by the way, everyone knew that His Majesty had a mysterious counselor in a white shirt covering his face.

After 20 days of galloping, Rong Xun was exhausted and his bones were falling apart. After returning to the tent, he lay down on the small bed, ready to sleep.Unexpectedly, Long Xiu picked him up and carried him to the thick felt bed at the side of the camp. The two hadn't seen each other for four months. When Rong Xun was talking in the tent in the afternoon, Long Xiu had already been impulsive several times, wishing to go forward She tore off her clothes and begged him a few times. At this point, seeing Rong Xun's tired eyes under the mask, An resisted the yelling in her heart, hugged her in her arms and kissed him for a while before giving up. .

Rong Xun let him kiss, his whole body aroused a faint tingling sensation, and soon fell asleep with exhaustion, a good night's sleep.
