Tang Xuan

Midsummer has arrived, and the army is marching slowly.Even so, many soldiers suffered from heat stroke.

After discussing with several generals of the Qianfeng Battalion, Xue Hua decisively gave the order to lie down day and night.At the same time, send someone to report the message, asking Lang Shixin to pay attention to the hot weather.

"Speaking of which, fighting in this place in summer is more tormenting than winter." Xue Hua said, opened his coat, and said to the people in the tent: "You don't have to be formal, just be casual."

Seven or eight people were eager to have this sentence, and quickly unbuttoned their robes.Lin Xian said to Lang Huai: "Lang Qiwei, aren't you hot?"

Lang Huai was stunned for a moment, and took off the light armor first, revealing the coarse cloth robe he was wearing inside, which was really not like other people, whose back was wet.He took off his helmet and said with a smile: "Little brother is always cold, but it's not so difficult." While speaking, Xue Hua turned around and looked at the map of Khotan, thoughtfully.

"General Xue, do you think that even if we reach the city of Khotan, we still have the strength to fight?" Yang Zhan was an old man who followed Xue Hua, and he always spoke frankly. At this moment, he pointed at everyone and said, "Look at everyone, everyone What has become of it?"

"The general's military order is like this. Our vanguard battalion must rush to Khotan during the summer solstice and pull out the surrounding strongholds." Xue Hua did not turn around, looked at the map, and shook his head.In fact, in the past two years, Khotan and Tubo were no different from an isolated city east of Congling.

Four months ago, Tibetan Renmo Zanpu died of illness, and his third son, Cong Canglanhu, became the new Zanpu in the turmoil. Ma, only the sixth younger brother who has been following him survived.After the young Zanpu gathered the power of Tubo, he sent his sixth younger brother Luntong with [-] soldiers to reinforce Khotan, showing a resolute confrontation.

"General Xue, the news from the front is that this new city lord of Khotan once fought against the Yuezhi, and the Yuezhi who beat him could not fight back at all." Lin thought for a while and said: "But Luntong's other information If there are too few, if you don’t know yourself and the enemy, I’m afraid this battle cannot be easily started.”

"A Huai, what do you think?" Xue Hua turned around and sat down, sighing, "What to say, everyone has to think of a proper way."

"Back to General Xue, the last general thought that there are [-] troops stationed in the city of Khotan, and the number of our forward battalion is far too small, so we must not attack by force. The general ordered our troops to go first, and there must be a follower. Why not, step by step and pull out of Khotan The three nearby small cities, go back and forth to inquire about the connection between Khotan and Tubo, wait for the Chinese army, and besiege the city together!" Lang Huai had roughly guessed what Lang Shixin was thinking, but this was not the time to say it.It was also helpless for him to speak like this.

"The last general is willing to lead the troops and pull out these strongholds." Lin Xian asked for orders first, which is a military achievement that can be won steadily.

Xue Hua looked at him and said, "Sure."

Back in his tent, after hearing about it, Lu Laosan wondered, "Ah Huai, why didn't you ask for your life?"

"In such a hot day, the three small towns are too far apart to be able to reach each other." Lang Huai wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Let the herald send an order to have a good rest at night, and not march in the daytime tomorrow, and leave the camp on time at Xu time."

"Yes!" Lu Laosan answered and ran to make arrangements.That's good, it's too hot in the daytime, and his skin will peel off.

Back in his tent, Lang Huaicai completely relaxed.This trip can be tossing, and the whole body is sticky.Tao Jun had already prepared hot water and some food before he retired and waited outside the tent.

Lang Huai relaxed, and said to Mr. Zhu, "Is it too hot?"

Mr. Zhu nodded, with a grape still in his mouth, he said vaguely, "Isn't it? Master, you can't hold it like this anymore. I cut the see-through gauze brought by Chang'an for you, and made two more coats. robe."

"This……"

"Just wear it," Zhu Jun's subordinates unambiguously lifted Lang Huai's clothes, and wiped his back with a hot towel, "Look at the prickly heat on this back, it's about to ooze pus!"

Lang Huai was in pain from being rubbed by her all of a sudden, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, and said with a smile: "I am a general, how can I be so weak?"

"Master, you are not weak." Mr. Zhu put on a cloth that had been mixed with soup, but this time he wiped it lightly with his hands, but kept saying, "Otherwise, I'm afraid that your clothes will bleed through in a few days. "

Lang Huai was silent for a moment, smiled, and said, "Okay, it's up to you."

The master and the servant quickly finished wiping, Lang Huai was really obedient, and changed into a brand new small coat and middle coat, and put on a gauze robe that was sunny after the rain.Mr. Zhu tied his hair with a gauze hat, looked at it himself, and said, "It's still so pretty."

"It's just a skin." Lang Huai twisted the back of his neck, picked up the medicine bowl that was hanging out, and drank it in one gulp. "By the way, this medicine still works, doesn't it?"

Mr. Zhu was fixing his hair, and nodded when he heard the words, "Xiao Taozi also said, at most, you can't use it until your crown is weak. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will hurt your body."

Lang Huai turned around, picked up the book, and sat obliquely, "Mr. Zhu, shall I make a bet with you?"

"What are you betting on?" Mr. Zhu asked curiously. You must know that Lang Huai is serious and used to it. How could there be such a thing?

"I bet you, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, we should return to Chang'an!" Lang Huai seemed to be pressing for a long time, and at this time he couldn't help showing a bright smile.

"Master, are you serious?" Mr. Zhu was stunned for a moment, and cheered, "This is really great! I'm thinking about it today, you will be seventeen this month. If you don't go back, you will be eighteen in the next year." Madam misses you so much!"

Lang Huai looked at her smiling and relaxed, and he was really happy.Isn't it?Khotan is an isolated city, no matter what Cong Canglanhu's calculations are, no matter how many pounds or taels of Luntong, Datang will definitely win this battle.

Lang Shixin worked hard for five years, but managed the three towns in Anxi like an iron bucket.The three towns left enough troops to defend the city, and now they are all in Khotan.Although there are only 6 horses, they are all elite soldiers.Lang Huai's reluctance to fight for merit this time may be because he wanted his soldiers to gather enough strength to go to the city of Khotan and try their best again.

When it was time to light the lamps, Lang Huai, Tao and Zhu sat in the tent with their legs crossed, chatting about things one after another, looking at ease.

Lang Huai's camp was the only one that didn't have his own soldiers in charge.His personal soldiers are only divided into two tents, not far apart.

"Ah Huai, are you here?" The voice of Lu Lao and the other three had not arrived yet.Lang Huai replied loudly: "Third Brother, please come in."

Lu Laosan held the jug of lamb leg in his hand, so he had to use his chin to open the curtain and come in. "I can't sleep tonight for some reason, my brother is here to bother you!"

Lu Laosan raised his eyes and was a little dazed. "Are you Ah Huai?"

Lang Huai was a little strange. Seeing his suspicious eyes, he couldn't help but asked a little nervously: "Third brother, what's the matter?"

"You changed your clothes, hahaha, you really look like the rich men in those scripts." Lu Laosan had never seen Lang Huaihao dressed up, so naturally he was not used to it.After walking in for a look, it was still the black-faced man, and then he laughed loudly: "Third brother remembers that your birthday is in June, and you will be seventeen soon. When you go back in the future, you are not the only lady who is worthy of you, Ah Huai! "

Unexpectedly, Lang Huai blushed, and spat: "Third brother is talking nonsense! I don't hear any news from you, why did you start talking about me?"

Lu Laosan drank his wine and mumbled, "Hey, what nonsense. Little Tao Azhu, you two tell me, your master has returned to Chang'an, so you can't make an appointment for marriage?"

Mr. Zhu spoke quickly, and immediately replied: "Third Master, can you let me marry you as a master? With your status as a master, it must be the emperor's marriage. Otherwise, you will be married to a rich family."

"Ah, why is it still so troublesome? There is no other way to go?" Lu Lao San looked at Lang Huai and said, "My brother is such a good character, can't he find a wife he wants?"

"Unless you ask your wife to make an appointment before the Holy One, then it will be considered a certainty." Mr. Zhu thought for a while and smiled: "Third brother, you should think about your business. Why are you so unloving?" ?”

"I'm afraid that the third brother has too many, so he can't get married, so why don't we marry at all." Tao Jun joked, and the third Lu was not angry, saying: "When this battle is over, I will marry you a sister-in-law! "

The three looked at each other and said in unison: "Which girl is the third brother looking for?"

"You've all seen it too, Seis." The youngest Lu was a little shy, but he still readily admitted, "I really like the third brother, and when this battle is over and the Holy Majesty rewards her and redeems her, the Ming media is marrying her." , live in peace, and don’t go to the place where the fireworks are waiting.”

Lang Huai turned around in his mind, and then remembered that Lu Laosan was referring to the orchid in the music workshop that year, and he couldn't help sighing: "Third brother kept it a secret, but I didn't notice it at all. But third brother Don't lose money to my sister-in-law, if it's for money, my younger brother is willing to help, but I can't refuse."

Lu Laosan smiled, filled Lang Huai with a glass of wine, and said, "Just wait for your words, Ah Huai! Come, come, I, Lu Laosan, will respect you!"

"Master, don't do it!" Mr. Zhu wanted to stop him again, but Lang Huai had already drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Azhu, Tao Jun, go and get some more food and drinks. I want to have a drink with my third brother tonight. I won't return if I don't get drunk. .”

Mr. Zhu was about to say something, but Tao Jun had already pulled her cuff with a smile and pulled it out.

"Why don't you persuade him?" Mr. Zhu complained to Tao Jun while cutting a large piece of beef.

Tao Jun was cutting watermelons beside him, and said with a smile, "You still don't understand my master's temper? You really regard the third master as your elder brother. How can such a happy event be stopped?"

"You're clever, I'm always the one who offends people!" Mr. Zhu spat, "Damn it!"

"Sister Azhu, you are so straightforward, how can you offend someone?" Tao Jun hurriedly apologized, for fear that he would really make the girl angry.

"Hmph, it's finished, let's send it in quickly. It seems that you don't want to sleep well tonight." Mr. Zhu looked at the tent and sighed: "But it's okay, when I return to Chang'an in the future, how can I do this?" so comfortable?"

After Tao Jun heard this, he couldn't help sighing, and carried the things into the tent.Lu Laosan talked about how he lived by the Yangtze River when he was young, it was really exciting and exciting.

Lang Huai was engrossed in what he heard, poured the wine until he was about to go out, but he didn't notice it.
