On the tenth day of February, led by Feng Wei, Chu Si served as the supervisor of the army, and led [-] soldiers to the front line.

"Those who have violated the country—!"

"kill!"

"Those who disturb my stability—!"

"kill!"

"Kill kill kill!!!"

Every kill word seemed to carry a killing intent of [-] points. The shocking shouts stirred up waves of dust, which were deafening, like waves of thunder exploding directly above the head, making people shudder and shudder.

But the frightened onlookers soon realized that it was none other than the Dashao soldiers who were about to attack the Tatars. After a brief silence, there were cheers all over the sky.

"Good job!!!"

"My Da Shao's son must be like this!!"

……

Many years later, all the people in the capital of Dashao who watched the expedition remember that on that day, their emperor stepped up to the gate of the city, proclaimed passionately, sprinkled wine to sacrifice to the heavens, and played drums with animal blood [Note 1], in preparation for the expedition. The soldiers sent off.And their soldiers were brave and fearless, and moved forward resolutely.On that day, what they saw was not only the supreme emperor, but also the backbone supporting the entire Dashao.

Shao Jing stood on the tower, holding a wine cup in his hand, respecting the soldiers and horses below, and the generals below the tower raised their cups in return.No one could see where the emperor's gaze fell, but Chu Si knew where Shaojing's gaze was.

Because——it was on him.

He saw Shaojing's eyes saying:

Chu Si, come back alive.

Minister, definitely.

Chu Si drank the wine in the glass and threw it away.Then he turned his horse's head and ran to the front of the team.

"Open—pull—"

……

"Suhebalu!!" The tall and strong Tatar man galloped up to Suhebalu and asked hurriedly, "Ling Dan Khan will send you to lead the battle, do you know that?"

"Well, he sent someone to tell me." After seeing the person, Suhebaru continued to work without raising his head: "Geriletu, you came just in time to help me roll up this blanket. "

"You can just let the slaves do these jobs... Oh no!" Geriletu was almost bypassed by Suhebalu, "You know he asked you to lead the battle and you still go?!"

"Of course you must obey Ling Danhan's orders." Suhebaru frowned, "If you show such disrespect to Ling Danhan, be careful not to be caught."

"Who dares?" Geriletu waved his fist nonchalantly.

"Come on, hug that horse." Suhebalu threw the thick carpet to Gerilatu.

"Okay." Geriletu carried the carpet on his shoulders, and quickly ran towards the horse team.

"Hey - no - Sukhbaru, you changed the subject again -"

The man in the wind shouted annoyedly from a distance, and was blown a little erratically by the wind on the grassland. Suhebalu whistled and waved his arms to signal Gerilatu to hurry up. The melodious whistle followed the wind. Every corner of the prairie.

Suhebaru stopped his movements after he could no longer see Geriletu's figure clearly.In the vast and boundless blue sky, there were scattered wild birds flying by. Sukhbaru looked up, bent down and grabbed the bow that was thrown on the ground at random, and took an arrow from his quiver and put it between his fingers. Pulled the bowstring.

Ready and ready to go.

call out!

Hit it with one hit.

Suhebalu's little shepherd dog flew out and ran towards the place where the shot prey fell, but Suhebalu just stood there and watched.

This piece of blue sky, this vast grassland, and——those bustling cities in Dashao must all belong to me.

No one could understand what Sukhbaru was thinking, so naturally no one could see his burning ambition buried under his calm appearance.

Soon, soon.

……

Kyoto is about [-] miles away from Langya Pass. According to the usual marching speed, it will take about [-] days to walk.Feng Wei led the soldiers in a hurry, but within ten days, they arrived at the frontier fortress.

The Langya Pass was about to break, and Zhao Peiqing was resisting with less than [-] troops.Fortunately, Langya Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was just a long-term confrontation, and the soldiers could not get rest and supplies.Standing on the tower, Zhao Peiqing personally commanded the trebuchets to rise and fall, and the stones fell like raindrops. The Tatars all shrank behind their cover and did not dare to show their heads.

Feng Wei arrived just in time.

He couldn't see Zhao Peiqing's position clearly through the gunpowder smoke all over the sky, so he mustered up his confidence and shouted loudly: "General Zhao!! We will lead 10 people to support!!!"

This roar was full of energy, and it spread ten miles away in a trance, and all the non-commissioned officers around Feng Wei had to cover their ears.

"Feng Wei!" Zhao Peiqing was overjoyed when he saw the visitor: "Brothers!!! The reinforcements are here!!!"

"Reinforcements are coming——!!!!"

The news flew across the front lines as if it had grown wings.

At this moment, the rapid march has reached the city wall, and the soldiers are well-trained, spontaneously replacing those who have been fighting for a long time.

"Feng Wei!!" Zhao Peiqing walked down the tower in two steps at a time. His hair was tilted to one side, his face was covered with dust, and his eyes were bloodshot. How could he look like a general?

"General Zhao!!" Seeing this, Feng Wei hurried over to support Zhao Peiqing, "You, you..."

But the second half of the sentence stuck in his throat, and the topic changed: "I brought reinforcements!"

"I saw it!" Zhao Peiqing stood up straight, "Northwest and northeast directions, and the reinforcement of the tower!"

"Don't worry!" Feng Wei said, "The last general will definitely defend! Go and rest quickly! I'm on the front line!"

Zhao Peiqing got Feng Wei's guarantee, so he was helped down to rest.

As a supervising army, Chu Si doesn't have to go to the front line, not to mention that Shao Jing told him that he must ensure Chu Si's safety, so at this moment he is pacing up and down anxiously in the camp behind, followed by Shao Jing's special sentry to protect his two guards.

"General Zhao!"

"Water! Hurry up!"

"General!!"

There was a commotion at the gate of the camp, Chu Si opened the curtain, and saw the logistics soldiers busy, carrying people onto stretchers.

"General Zhao!!" Chu Si leaned forward and said worriedly, "But are you injured?!"

"Lord Chu!" Zhao Peiqing said in surprise, "You, why did you come here?"

"It's a long story, let's talk about it when I have time! You..."

"I'm fine!" Zhao Peiqing waved his hand, "It's just a moment of relaxation and exhaustion, just rest for a while."

"Hey, let the one in front—"

Medics don't care who you are, they only see the wounded.Seeing Zhao Peiqing lying on the stretcher, a big soldier knocked Chu Bang away and lifted the stretcher.

Chu Si knew that the military camp was no better than an officialdom, so he rushed to Zhao Peiqing and said, "Let's talk about it later!"

Zhao Peiqing stretched out his fist to show that he knew, and then Chu Si looked away.

As soon as he got out of the tent, he didn't have the mood to go back, so he went around the big camp to explore.

The soldiers who had been replaced from the front line returned to the camp one after another. Everywhere Chu Si went was a scene of chaos and haste.He was wandering around by himself, followed by two guards, he looked like a strange person.Chu Si looked at the hurrying soldiers, turned his head to the two behind him and said, "Wherever you want, don't follow me."

The two looked at each other.

Chu Si said displeased: "I let you leave as soon as I let you, what can happen to me in this big camp!"

The two men got together to discuss it, then nodded and turned to leave.After Chu Si was sure that they had really left, he opened a big tent at will——

"The one who just came in! Yes! It's you!! Get a basin of water!"

The military doctor was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, his hands were full of blood and filth, and the few medical soldiers were not enough, so he was furious. At this time, he saw a big living person who could move by himself and entered the tent. He didn't care who it was, he opened his mouth and ordered.

The most human life in the barracks!

It was the first time Chu Si heard someone yelling at him to work, and he didn’t react at first. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was being asked to fetch water. After a quick glance, he could see the situation in the tent at a glance, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and went out to fetch water. water.

As night fell, the temperature in the early spring night was still freezing to death. The Tatars slowed down their offensive and gradually withdrew to the camp.The soldiers guarding the pass breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not relax their vigilance. They rearranged their patrols and sentry guards to prevent Tatars from raiding.

Langya Pass was saved because of the [-] reinforcements who arrived in time.

At night, the wounded who came down from the front line were properly treated, the military doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his head to look at the young man who had been busy with him.It doesn't matter what you look at, the clothes and accessories all show that this is a first-rank official, the medicine bottle in his hand is about to fall straight to the ground if he doesn't hold it for a moment.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Chu Si caught it: "The medicine is precious, so the military doctor is sure."

"...Yes, yes, yes." The military doctor Yue Mo recognized Chu Si's rank, but he didn't know who he was, and he didn't dare to talk to him rashly, so he was cold there.

It didn't take long for it to be cold, when someone lifted the curtain and came in: "Chu Supervising Army! General Zhao is here!"

Chu Si found a handkerchief to wipe his hands clean: "Please lead the way."

It was only then that the military doctor realized: it was the supervising army who followed him around!

The wounded soldiers sitting casually in the tent were also speechless: Well, that man just bandaged me to stop the bleeding and gave me medicine!

There was a lot of discussion in the tent for a while, but Chu Si didn't care, and went out with the person who sent the message.

Zhao Peiqing had the best eyesight. As soon as Chu Si entered the door, he saw the blood on his body and said in surprise, "Master Chu! You!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Si waved his hand, "The blood of the wounded is not mine."

"That's good." Zhao Peiqing felt relieved.

"General Zhao..." Chu Si just opened his mouth, paused, and said again, "I'd better call you Brother Zhao, I feel comfortable calling you, and you are happy listening to it."

"You and I, brothers, those rituals are not birthright." Zhao Peiqing said, "Sit down quickly, but we haven't seen each other for a long time. These years, it's okay."

"Okay, I'm fine." Chu Si was a little moved, because when he was imprisoned, Zhao Peiqing was one of the few courtiers who insisted on absolving him.

"I've heard about you returning to the court to be an official, why are you sent to the front again? Could it be..."

"Brother Zhao, don't worry too much," Chu Si comforted, "I came this time, the emperor means that it is best to return with some military merit. The pole will also be straighter than it is now."

"It's a way out." Zhao Peiqing nodded.

"Let's gossip less, come and tell me about the current battle situation." Chu Si visited various places in the camp this day, and what he couldn't wait to understand most was the current situation.

"Yes, brother Chu, look here..." Zhao Peiqing turned around and explained the battle situation to the map hanging on the wall. Chu Si asked aloud from time to time, and it took a full half an hour.

"In that case..." Chu Si frowned slightly, "Barbarians can carry out surprise attacks, so don't we?"

"..." Zhao Peiqing was slightly stunned, "I really didn't expect brother Chu to say such a thing."

"What? How stupid?"

"No..." Zhao Peiqing turned around and drew a line with his fingers, "Actually, several military advisers and I have found a surprise attack route, and it's here." He clicked on the map, and then said, "I think Brother Chu is a gentleman. I definitely disdain this kind of behavior..."

"Brother Zhao, there is a saying in the art of war, and soldiers never tire of deceit." Chu Si laughed, "There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, let alone a gentleman. The theory of the saints is used to educate the world. It is used for war, and how many people die is not enough."

"Brother Chu is indeed a man of great wisdom." Zhao Peiqing sighed with a smile.

"It's late at night today, each of us should take a good rest tonight, and invite the military advisers and staff officers tomorrow morning to discuss the detailed rules." Chu Si finally said.

At this moment, his delicate face was showing fortitude that had never been seen before, and the dancing candle flames reflected in his eyes, shining brightly, as if something was breaking through the ground and sprouting and growing vigorously.
