Long live the general

In the autumn of the seventh year of Yuan Ding, Huo Yi, the great general of the Great Sima, wrote a letter to become an official in Ziwei Palace. Emperor Yuan Ding agreed, and Huo Yi handed over the seal of the general and half of the military talisman, disarmed and returned to the field, and left Chang'an City.

He returned to Shu County with his mother's bones, and since then there has been no movement of him in the court.

Huo Lingyue stayed in Chang'an City. Huo Yi asked her why she stayed. Huo Lingyue was firm, but didn't answer.Huo Yi had no choice but to leave Huo Xiaoman to her. Huo Xiaoman fought beside Huo Yi all these years. As a personal soldier, he has achieved great results. In fact, he has received many rewards. He can even be a captain in the army. , but? Huo Xiaoman insisted on following Huo Yi.

This time Huo Lingyue wanted to stay in Chang'an City, Huo Yi was worried that she would be alone, so he asked Huo Xiaoman to follow her.

Huo Yi left early in the morning, and Qiu Hongguang and Tao Jiamu came to see him off. Outside the long pavilion, the three of them had a glass of wine.

"It's really boring to be the big Sima." Qiu Hongguang said, "I might as well go to the north to guard the border."

The longer he stayed in the court, the more bored he felt. Qiu Junmao is now a Da Nong Cheng, but? He knows more than the Da Nong Cheng, and often guides Qiu Hongguang.

After listening to it, Qiu Hongguang felt that there was indeed a lot of knowledge in it, but it was a kind of human calculation and entanglement, and he was still not interested.

It's better to follow Huo Yi to fight in the desert.

"It's because His Majesty thinks highly of you." Huo Yi wanted to say a few more words, but Qiu Hongguang had Qiu Junmao's suggestion, so there was no need for him to say anything.

Tao Jiamu hugged him.

Huo Yi said, "Help take care of Xiaoyue."

"Of course, I watched Xiaoyue grow up, but you don't have to worry too much about Xiaoyue, her child has her own ideas." Tao Jiamu asked, "When will you come back?"

After the death of the parents of the officials in the court, there is a rule of observing filial piety for three years, and Huo Yi must wait at least three years before re-entering the court.

Huo Yi smiled: "Let's talk about it."

Tao Jiamu asked: "Isn't your family Xiaoyue coming to see you off?"

"I talked with her for a long time yesterday." Huo Yi said: "She said that she would do what she wanted to do, so it's very good."

Tao Jiamu couldn't help asking: "What does she want to do?"

Huo Yi shook his head slightly, now he can't guarantee that he understands Huo Lingyue's thoughts.

Tao Jiamu smiled: "By the way, I have prepared an article during this time. After I present it to His Majesty, it will soon spread across the country. Even though you are in the countryside, you will definitely hear the news."

"Can't you tell me now?"

Tao Jiamu smiled proudly: "It's just an idea, what I come up with must be perfect."

"Okay, wait for your good news."

Qiu Hongguang said from the side: "Brother Huo, how about waiting a few months before I resign and come to you."

"Tell this to your father." Huo Yi patted him on the shoulder, Da Yue suddenly lost two big Sima, wouldn't it be a mess?

... maybe not.

"I'll go first." Huo Yi got into the carriage.

Qiu Hongguang and Tao Jiamu watched him leave. After the carriage disappeared from sight, Qiu Hongguang said with emotion: "Brother Huo looks much better than before when he was guarding the spirit. I was really worried about him at that time."

At that time, Qiu Hongguang saw Huo Yi kneeling in front of the coffin, and felt that he had no vitality at all.

"People always look forward." Tao Jiamu said, "For Huo Yi, leaving Chang'an City may be a good thing."

Chang'an City was too depressing for him.

Qiu Hongguang suddenly asked: "Will he come back?"

Tao Jiamu raised his eyebrows: "Of course, not to mention that Xiaoyue is still here, His Majesty can't let him go without looking back."

"Your Majesty..." Qiu Hongguang frowned. He didn't know until now what the relationship between Brother Huo and His Majesty the Emperor was, but everyone else seemed to know.

Besides, even so, how long can His Majesty's friendship last? The royal family has been ruthless since ancient times, let alone three years.

"Three years..." Huo Lingyue stood at the gate of Huo Mansion, with her hands behind her back, staring at the distant gate of Chang'an City.

Although she didn't look at herself, Zhou Yunshen knew that these words were addressed to him, Zhou Yunshen said softly, "I'll wait for you."

Huo Lingyue smiled, she often watched Huo Yi leave here, but this time was the longest time my little uncle left.

Cong Yunmeng and Huo Yi had left the huge Huo Mansion, and it seemed even more empty at this moment, as if a person's vitality had been drained, leaving only a dry and empty frame.

For the first time, Huo Lingyue felt that the Huo Mansion did not feel like home.

Uncle Wang and Huo Xiaoman stood behind her, and the Patriarch of the Huo Mansion left. I am afraid that many people in Chang'an City will doubt whether Huo Lingyue, a little girl, can support the Huo family.

In other words, it was strange that she chose to stay. If something like this happened, she should follow the elders in her family no matter what.

In Ziwei Palace, Zhou Zhenyan got up to wash up, put on the court clothes embroidered with dragon patterns under the service of his attendants, and then went to the desk to read a few memorials.When the morning light was twilight, the attendant delivered the food. After he finished his breakfast, he was thinking about some unresolved matters in the past few days, as well as matters to be discussed with the ministers today.After sitting on the imperial chariot, the bearer carried him to the main hall. Zhou Zhenyan sat at the top position as usual. Here you can see the situation in the whole hall, and the expressions on the faces of every courtier are clearly visible. , his eyes habitually fell on the front left, where there should have been a thin and handsome figure.

Zhou Zhenyan blinked suddenly, and suddenly came back to his senses.

As if someone hit the door hard, cold sweat broke out unconsciously on his back, and all the scenes became extremely clear in his eyes.He finally woke up from the state of ignorance in the morning, and understood where he was and what he was doing at the moment.Everything in front of him was separated from the picture in his mind. In the huge gap, his heart sank infinitely, and he shuddered slightly.

Huo Yi...should have left by now.

Zhou Zhenxie suddenly realized that the distance between him and Huo Yi was extending infinitely, and he would not be able to see Huo Yi again for a long time in the future.

This also means that no one stands in the most familiar position, even if he doesn't say anything, it makes him happy; no one sits next to the desk, which can be touched by reaching out, and the two chat about any topic without thinking; No one calls out to His Majesty softly anymore, and his body will always be wrapped in the desert wind and morning fog...

Parting is such a thing, only at a certain moment will you suddenly feel the pain deeply.

Who is the person trapped in Chang'an City - he couldn't help thinking.

"Your Majesty..." Chang Zhong Zhang reminded softly, and all the courtiers below looked at His Majesty the Emperor. Because of General Huo's absence today, everyone could feel that the atmosphere in the hall had changed.

Zhou Zhenyan took a deep breath, faced the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and started today's court discussion.

In the winter of the seventh year of Yuan Ding, there was a small country on the western plateau of Dayue, called Tuhun Country.Tu Hun Kingdom and Dai Viet have lived in peace for many years, but? Recently, Tu Hun Kingdom changed a new king, and the new king suddenly had a whim and sent troops to attack the border of Dai Viet.

The westernmost border county of Dayue is called Ai County, which is separated from the northern desert by a large desert, and there is an endless mountain in the west, with countless peaks, and a large river running through the entire Dayue. rush down.I heard that there is a big country behind that mountain, but this mountain cuts off the communication between Dayue and the other side.Tuhun Kingdom is located under the mountain peak, and its area is small, but it is quite courageous.

Someone knocked on the door, Zhou Zhenyan absolutely couldn't bear it, he sat in the hall and said to the people around him: "I thought about it for three days and three nights, but I still couldn't figure out why Tuhun offended Dayue...you, Go and bring the king of Tuhun Kingdom to ask."

When Dayue sent troops this time, he sent Li Feng, a cavalry general, who had a cavalry captain named Huo Lingyue under his command.

In the early spring of the eighth year of Yuan Ding, the army of Dayue arrived on the plateau and fought hand-to-hand with the army of the Tuhun Kingdom.He is much more familiar with this place than the people of Day Viet, so he sent people to burn all the pasture on the plateau, and prepared a strong wall to clear the field according to the military book. The further west they went, the Dayue soldiers couldn't adapt to the environment here at all.

Huo Lingyue said to Li Feng: "He ran away, should I go after him?"

Li Feng said: "Our troops are divided into two groups. If there is no pasture, we will use war to support war."

Huo Lingyue nodded, she was familiar with this, Qiu Hongguang often told her about it.

Li Feng was a little worried. It was Huo Lingyue's first time on the battlefield, and it was still such a special environment. He knew what he did when he was on the battlefield for the first time, because he didn't expect Huo Lingyue to chase the king.

Huo Lingyue didn't think so much.

The Da Yue army was divided into two groups. Li Feng allocated a thousand more cavalry to Huo Lingyue. The main reason was that the Tuhun Kingdom was indeed quite small, and the number of troops was also small. It was defeated once, and the fighting power was pitifully small... so to speak Our enemy is the country of Tuhun, rather it is this mysterious plateau.

Huo Lingyue went deep into the plateau for a thousand miles. When she galloped on her horse, she would think of the things on the battlefield that Huo Yi had told her before.Facing the vast desert, everyone can feel their own insignificance, everyone is a drop in the ocean.

But at a certain moment, Huo Lingyue felt a pure and quiet sense of power emerge from the bottom of her heart in the full moon hanging high in the sky.

One month later, Li Feng wiped out all the remaining soldiers of the Tuhun Kingdom who stayed in place, and Huo Lingyue rushed all the way to Bohai, successfully chasing down the fleeing Tuhun Kingdom army, and the Tuhun Kingdom army was completely wiped out .The king of Tuhun Kingdom never dreamed that the cavalry of Dayue would be so powerful, almost to the point of terror.Huo Lingyue captured the king of Tuhun Kingdom alive and brought him back to Chang'an.

When we returned to Chang'an, it was already early summer, and it took four months for the Dayue army to quell the Tuhun rebellion.
