make me clear

Yuan Shaolei had been away for two months, and there was a letter informing Lu Renjia that the war in the south was urgent, and he had already set off with Situ Yu, so don't read it.Living in the mountains for a long time, Lu Renjia didn't feel bored. All the ailments all over her body disappeared, but she lived a happy and comfortable life.

Xiuling Mountain is located in the northwest, the terrain is extremely cold, and the temperature has dropped sharply. It is only the weather at the end of November, and the gray sky has already fallen thin snow the size of a grain of rice.Looking around, the mountains and forests seem to be covered with a layer of white tulle, showing a bit of the beauty of a daughter's home.Lu Renjia was most afraid of the cold and could not bear it.However, Xiuling Temple is poor and remote, and cars and sedan chairs cannot do it.Naturally, there are very few pilgrims, so there is no income from sesame oil money, the small temple is dilapidated, and the walls, doors and windows of the house are in disrepair.As the cold wind passed through, Lu Renjia looked at the old and the young, the cold quilts were thin, and the deep blue padded jackets were washed to the point of white, and they were still wearing them. One could imagine how warm they were.They are all kind people to him, and he hates the villain and hypocrite the most in his life.Naturally, he couldn't bear to see the other party suffer, and hoped for the other party's well-being wholeheartedly.He fled that day with a lot of money and two masters on his back. He paid for masons to repair the small temple, and bought a lot of charcoal, clothes, and food to protect against the cold.

The host was helpless at his cutting first and then playing. Looking at the objects sent by Lu Renjia, he turned his face slightly, with a sense of shame on his face, and said repeatedly, "The benefactor... this... really frustrates the old monk. I am ashamed to accept it, accept it I'm ashamed."

With a smile on Lu Renjia's face, he said to Shanneng, "Master, don't let me down. If you don't want it, I will throw it all away. That is the real sin. Amitabha." After attaining pure enlightenment, let him try on the padded jacket I made for him.

Jingwu was always shy in nature, Guazi had a pair of dark eyes on his face, looking at Lu Renjia with shy joy.Look at the indescribable happiness in his eyes.

"Like it?"

"En." Jing Wu nodded.

Lu Renjia looked at Jingwu's happy face, as if it touched a certain heartstring, and recalled Situ Ling's bright face carved in jade, "You liar."

Lu Renjia laughed, and lied to him again this time.

The three of them enjoyed dinner together. Shanneng took out an ordinary bag from his sleeve and said to Lu Renjia, "I received a letter from Adi at noon today. I saw you taking a nap in the wing room. I didn't disturb you. Now Pass it on to you."

"Thank you, master." Lu Renjia took the kit obediently, opened it impatiently, and browsed quickly under the dim light of the oil lamp.Tightly grasping the white silk in his hand, he bowed respectfully to Shanneng, and said joyfully, "Brother wants to lead troops to Mobei to garrison, and he must pass through Shangyang. I intend to meet him. Thanks to Master for taking care of me these days." ,Greatful."

"That's it." Shanneng nodded, seeing his decisive attitude, it was hard to ask him to stay.Forgive me, "Benefactor, when do you plan to leave?"

"Tomorrow I'll go down the mountain." Lu Renjia held the white silk in his hand, bid farewell to the abbot, and returned to his own room as if the wind was blowing under his feet, and packed up.

There were a few knocks on the door, Lu Renjia stepped forward, opened it, and saw Shanneng with a kind face, holding a green cloth package in his hand.Hastily stepped aside, "It's cold outside, please come in, Master."

Lu Renjia bent over and put a piece of charcoal into the stove, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of hot tea for Shanneng, "Master, please use it."

Shanneng nodded, and put the package in his hand on the table, "The climate in Mobei is bitter and cold. These are the elixir developed by the old man to dispel stasis and cold, and some golden medicines with good hemostatic effect. The benefactor brings them with him in case of emergency. need."

"Thank you, Master, for the gift."

"The benefactor has to get up early tomorrow, so I won't disturb the benefactor's rest." Shan Neng saluted him, then turned and left.

……

Mobei is located on the border of the country. In the northwest, there are Hu tribes Rouran, regardless of their oaths, repeatedly invading, burning, killing and looting, and the people are in dire straits.The Holy Majesty sent troops to attack several times, and the covenant signed by the victory could only maintain peace for a few years, and invaded again at regular intervals.However, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the water far away from the Holy Majesty cannot save the people of Mobei.This has become an extremely headache for the emperor far away in Kyoto.

This time Yuan Shaolei took orders from Situ Yu to lead 10 soldiers to support the garrison in Mobei. It is self-evident that the garrison soldiers need 10 elite troops.

Yuan Shaolei recalled the scene where Situ Yu stood at the gate of Xuanzhou City and led the crowd to practice for him. Looking at the other party's deep and wise eyes, he sounded humane, "The general will go straight to Rouran King's capital. You will be defeated without a fight." Soldiers are the best strategy. I don't want to destroy the city again."

Yuan Shaolei was slightly puzzled, "Since the intention is not in the city, why do you work hard to attack it?"

"My plan is in my ear." Situ Yu's unfathomable starry eyes showed a smile of victory, "General, but carry out according to my will, I have my own clever plan, and bring peace to the people of Mobei."

It has been more than five days since we parted from Xuanzhou, and the weather is getting colder and colder as we go to the northwest.Most of the generals were born in the south with a warm climate, and they were often uncomfortable with the sudden cold in the northwest.Although the cotton coats to keep out the cold had been thickened, it was quite inconvenient to walk on. The grain trucks drove on the frosty land, and the wheels slipped. One can imagine the hardships of the journey.

Yuan Shaolei treated his subordinates very kindly and seldom blamed him. He was considerate of the difficulty of the march.After another mile, you can see the gate of Shangyang City.Yuan Shaolei unconsciously wanted to speed up his pace. He suddenly had the desire to get close to Lu Renjia, raised the whip in his hand and pointed at the endless winding official road, and said loudly, "Soldiers, go ahead!" One mile is Shangyang City. There are delicacies in Shangyang, such as hot and sour mutton soup, our army can quickly travel to Shangyang to rest and enjoy the food."

Hearing Yuan Shaolei's words, the soldiers who were originally tired-faced seemed to have their blood boiled.What a temptation it is to drink a bowl of hot mutton soup in this cold season, and the soldiers can't help talking.The speed of the march suddenly increased a lot.When he arrived in Shangyang, how could Yuan Shaolei go back on his word? As expected, he started to arrange things for rest, built a stove to light a fire, slaughtered sheep and cooked soup, and the barracks was full of excitement...

It took only a short while for the whole army to arrive at Shangyang, the prefect of Shangyang rushed to pay a visit and presented them with salaries, and naturally there were many clothes for the soldiers.He kindly invited Yuan Shaolei to the prefect's mansion for a banquet, but was rejected by the other party.

When Yuan Shaolei came out of the prefect's mansion, a waiter from a hotel rushed forward and asked, "Is the general's surname Yuan?"

Yuan Shaolei was a little surprised, "Exactly, I don't know what the little brother is doing?"

"Don't dare to do it." Seeing that the other party's attitude is very kind, the boy's fear has subsided a lot, but he has admiration, and he respectfully said, "Boy, follow the instructions of a Mr. Mu from Wanxiang Tower, and wait for a surname in front of the eunuch's mansion." Yuan's general. The young master said that you are an old friend of his, and you will understand when you see him."

When Yuan Shaolei heard this, the corners of his mouth immediately raised an arc, and he rewarded the boy with two taels of money, and said happily, "Take me to see him quickly."

Wanxiang Building.

Yuan Shaolei asked the two accompanying guards to stay outside, and stretched out his hand to push open the door.

What catches the eye is a table of sumptuous banquets, but sitting beside the table is an ugly middle-aged man with triangular eyes and a goatee.This person does not know himself!How could Yuan Shaolei not be surprised, frowned slightly, and still had an upright and modest attitude, and asked, "Excuse me, this is Wanxianglou, a private room of Tianzihao."

"Exactly." The middle-aged man's voice was low and hoarse, his triangular eyes narrowed slightly, he looked up and down at Yuan Shaolei, who was standing upright, and smiled maliciously.

"..." It's too weird!Yuan Shaolei felt uncomfortable when he looked at him like this, and said in a low voice, "It seems that I have admitted the wrong person, please forgive me if I bother you."

Seeing that he was about to leave, the middle-aged man suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was clear and his voice seemed familiar.Yuan Shaolei couldn't help but stop, turned his face away, and saw the middle-aged man raised his hand, tearing something under his neck with great effort, and actually tore off a thin layer of skin on his face, revealing his fair and beautiful face.

"Young brother, it's really you?!" Yuan Shaolei had long heard that there was a secret technique called Yi Rong in Jianghu, and it was the first time he saw someone using it, and the other party was his young brother.

Today Lu Renjia was dressed in a silver squirrel fur with a light yellow satin gown and a jasper hairpin in his head. He had a few cups of warm wine before, and his jade-white face had a few traces. Pink, without the morbid paleness that was once poisoned, and her face became more and more beautiful.Seeing that Yuan Shaolei still had a shocked expression on his face, he smiled a little frightened, "How about this human skin mask that I bought for 10 taels of gold? Brother."

Yuan Shaolei shook his head, "Where did you get such an evil thing? If you don't recuperate in the Xiuling Temple, why come here?"

"Shangyang is originally located on the border, and there are many strangers and strange talents. The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world is for profit. 10 taels of gold are not many in Xuanzhou, but here they are sent. It's useful! This is one moment, one another, under the heavy reward, I'm afraid I don't have what I want." Lu Renjia smiled slyly, looking at Yuan Shaolei's upright face, secretly thinking about it.Said, "I've recovered. Knowing that you are going to lead troops to garrison, I intend to go with you and help you." Lu Renjia looked at him, the urgency and determination in his phoenix eyes could not be concealed.

"No, I'm not here to garrison, but to lead the army to attack the capital of Rouran. The battlefield is changing rapidly, you don't know how to fight, you have no eyes for swords and guns, you can see the danger. How can I let you put yourself in danger as a brother."

"Attack on Rouran?!" Lu Renjia lowered his eyes and pondered, "How many troops will the elder brother lead?"

"10."

"With an army of 10, it may not be easy to capture the capital of Rouran. Starting from Xuanzhou, reaching Rouran has long been exhausted; our army is not familiar with the terrain of Rouran, and has lost its geographical advantage; and Rouran However, the weather is cold and our army is not acclimatized to the soil and water, so the combat capability of the army will definitely be greatly reduced; moreover, our lord’s logistics and ration supply journey is long and difficult, so we can only fight quickly, if the opponent deliberately delays the time, the army will be defeated.”

Yuan Shaolei frowned slightly when he heard Lu Renjia's methodical analysis. He had already considered these things before he set off. Situ Yu didn't intend to attack the city this time, but to teach the other party a painful lesson.He has already decided on a battle strategy, to make a quick decision and take down the capital as quickly as possible, but... this is indeed not an easy task.

"Brother, although I don't know martial arts, I'm not stupid. It's alright for the elder brother to take me along and be careful. I will never become a burden to the elder brother. Why bother to rely on me thousands of miles away." Lu Renjia looked at him with eyes wide open. It is full of pleading.The fawning one took the vegetables and put them in his bowl.

Yuan Shaolei saw that his attitude was firm, and if he didn't respond, he might secretly follow him all the way. In case of an accident, how could he rush to protect him.He glanced at him helplessly, knocked on the table and said, "Since the food has been served, don't let it get cold. Let's eat."

"You promised me."

"Is there any other way?" Yuan Shaolei sighed, "Going to the battlefield is no joke, so be careful."

"Got it, big brother."
