fluttering night wind

She spoke disregarding dignity and slapped her in the face, causing everyone present to change color except Bai Yansheng.After Sun Shuye was shocked, he looked at her with interest from the corridor.As the wild geese walked, Pei Lie suddenly frowned, and jumped to his feet one after another: "You are so bold, the barbarians dare to act presumptuously in the general's residence."

Ever since Bai Yansheng recovered from her injury and opened her eyes to know Xiao Rongyue, whenever something difficult happened, she often indulged in crying without any scruples, and she always cleared up her tears quickly, cheered herself up, and didn't want anyone to comfort her.For example, in Beihai, she suddenly heard that her father wanted her to enter the palace as a concubine; in the Populus euphratica forest, she first saw her beloved brother who was seriously injured;Although she is from a barbarian, her character can be seen as a heroic toughness. She is a person with a true temperament, but she is a bit higher than many Han people.

With tears on Xiao Rongyue's face, she looked at Bai Yansheng provocatively.

With no expression on Bai Yansheng's face, he said indifferently: "Miss Xiao, you have saved Yan Sheng's life, and I dare not forget it. I have written down the teaching just now. The boy is rude, and the elder brother apologizes to you on their behalf. They must be punished."

He admired Xiao Rongyue very much in his heart, and he actually cherished flowers in his eyes, but these words sounded in her ears, as if they were offering favors, Xiao Rongyue was so angry that his lips trembled, looking at him With one glance, he turned his head and walked back.

Bai Yansheng did not utter a word to persuade her to stay, but suddenly turned his gaze to Yanxing and Pei Lie.Under his stern gaze, the two little monkeys seemed to have been slapped on the top of their heads, shrank their bodies and lowered their heads.Yanfeng led troops south the day before yesterday, without this elder brother who ruled all kinds of disobedience in the family, the two little monkeys got a little carried away and became lawless.

When Bai Yansheng came back this time, everything went well, except that he had some complaints about his two younger brothers, reflecting an old saying: If there is a talent in the world, there must be a legacy.In the nineteenth year of Yanfeng's year, he was engaged to be married, so it is no longer easy to discipline him directly, so he can only make indirect remarks.Fifteen geese traveled, and Pei Lie was usually taught by Mrs. Pei Zhao Wan, but Zhao Wan was weak and had her youngest son Pei Shao to look after, so she didn't control her much.Boxing Kung Fu is taught by Bai Yanfeng, but Yanfeng himself is young and old, with a weird temper. When encountering two disobedient children, he often punishes them with corporal punishment, and rarely teaches them earnestly.

Seeing that they are getting older, even though they have accomplished martial arts, their character is difficult to establish, Bai Yansheng deeply regretted that he didn't teach them personally back then, so he said: "Do you two know what you did wrong?"

Yan Xing and Pei Lie didn't dare to push back, they all agreed.

Bai Yansheng asked them to go back and copy "The Analects of Confucius" three hundred times. "If there is a word that is not written by you, let's try it."

The two monkeys went back to face the bleak life with a sad face.

Sun Shuye came from the corridor with a smile on his face, and the two went to the study side by side. "This Miss Xiao is very interesting." Sun Shuye said, shaking his folding fan.

Bai Yansheng sighed softly, and said with frown: "She is not a bad person. If I hadn't had her in Yanmen Pass that day, I might not have been able to return home. Now that I have a home, I can't go home. I really feel sorry for her."

Sun Shuye thought to himself, with your ability, it is nothing to subdue one or two women.He has supported the land of Xuzhou for the past three years, worked hard, and gradually lost weight, and everyone around him felt sorry for him.In the past few days, I suddenly saw the sound of white geese returning, and I feel refreshed on happy occasions, and even my complexion has improved a lot.

Before the two of them reached the study room, a servant from the family came to report that Xiao Rongyue went back to the room and took a sword Qi Huhu and left the house, and Li Xiangnan chased after him.

Bai Yansheng frowned upon hearing this.

The two discussed general affairs in the study all morning, and Sun Shuye saw that he was out of his mind, so he put aside the matter of Liu Polu that he wanted to discuss for the time being.

He also only heard about this from Bai Yansheng a few days ago, thinking that Yanfeng had captured this person a month ago and put him under house arrest. .

The idea behind Bai Yansheng was that he would have had it since he came out of Linxi, otherwise he would go all over his family, from south to north, what would he seek?It has been in ancient times to hold the emperor to order the princes.Since ancient times, extraordinary achievements must be given to extraordinary people.Letting go of the little things means righteousness, and taking the right and keeping the right is what a man does.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that it was not the time to be self-reliant.For one thing, even though Bai Yansheng's mind and vision have improved a lot after returning from the catastrophe, he always feels that he is still lacking in maturity.The so-called gentleman can't bear to abandon his lord, because of his generosity.Bai Yansheng does not let go of his support for the old dynasty, it is difficult to establish a new dynasty, and the world is in trouble.Reluctantly persuaded to advance, he lacks the consciousness of taking the world as his own responsibility. Not only can he not kill lions and tigers and sweep up the world, but he will be killed.

If someone pushes Bai Yansheng at this time...

He thought maliciously in his heart, the sky never tires of chaos, if anyone can fan the flames and make this happen, all the guilt will be borne by me.

After noon, Li Xiangnan ran back sweating profusely alone.At that time, Bai Yansheng and Sun Shuye were checking the accounts in the accounting room, and seeing her panting, he said, "General, Miss Xiao has a letter for you."

Seeing that there was nothing behind her, Bai Yansheng's face sank, and he said, "She doesn't want to come back?"

Li Xiangnan took a sip of tea and said, "I went out of the city to chase Miss Xiao, and I saw her fighting with someone ten miles outside the city..."

Bai Yansheng's expression became even worse, Sun Shuye wanted to laugh but held back.

"Miss Xiao is very skilled, and she knocked this person to the ground in three or two blows. The two seemed to know each other, and they communicated in Xianbei for a long time, and Miss Xiao's complexion became worse as they got to the back. In the end, Miss Xiao let him go. I found another person to borrow paper and pen, and wrote two letters for me to bring back." She took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Bai Yansheng. Sun Shuye saw it and couldn't help but praise: "Good Character!"

On the paper, there is a word "Xie" in official script, with silkworm head and swallow tail, which is straight and simple, which shows the extraordinary skill of the writer.

Bai Yansheng was not surprised, he had seen Xiao Yu's handwriting in Shengle, and he was also used to ancient scriptures, so it was similar in style but equally effective.At this time, I looked at the word "thank you" over and over again, and wondered in my heart, is she saying goodbye to me and thanking me for taking care of me all the way?As soon as he thought of this, he shook his head and laughed dumbly, Xiao Rongyue came like the wind and went like lightning, how could he be such a pedantic person!Or, do you have other ideas?

Suddenly his eyes lit up, holding the piece of paper in his hand, he hurriedly said to Sun Shuye: "Shuye, I'm going out of town for a few days, I'm tired of you."

Sun Shuye made a "Please go ahead" gesture, watched Bai Yansheng stepping out the door, smiled and said to Li Xiangnan: "Miss Li, you said that there are two letters, could it be that the other letter is for me?"

Since Xiao Rongyue arrived in Xuzhou, she had only met Sun Shuye once. Just this morning, without saying a word, a letter was brought to him!

Fortunately, Li Xiangnan was not an uncommon and eccentric person, so he took out a letter from the other sleeve and gave it to him.Sun Shuye read all the ten lines at a glance. It turned out that the letter had detailed the backgrounds of Yu Desheng, a newcomer to Xuzhou, and the other three. After reading it, he was deeply impressed.

This Hu woman's recklessness implies subtleties, and this letter will be very useful later, so I won't go into details at this time.

Besides, Bai Yansheng led a coiled horse out of the city, traveled ten miles to the place Li Xiangnan said, and saw a man and a horse under an old willow tree. Someone came from a distance, stretched out his feet to wipe off the traces on the ground, and then looked up.

Zhao Yebai came galloping with a person in a light robe and a belt on his back.There was a flash of joy in her eyes, and in a blink of an eye, she said coldly: "Is it just you?"

Bai Yansheng dismounted, walked up to her, and asked solemnly: "Miss Xiao, who did you meet, can you tell me? Does the word thank you in the letter refer to Xie Kun?"

Xiao Rongyue raised her sword and chopped down the weeds and thorns under the tree, lazily said: "Do you think Xie Kun's life or death has anything to do with me?"

Bai Yansheng's face turned ashen, and said: "Miss Xiao, the enemy is now, why did you lure me out of Xuzhou? Can you tell me clearly."

Xiao Rongyue had conflicts in her heart, and she couldn't express them all, but she was not good at lying in her life, so she could only bite her lip and cut down thorns.

Bai Yansheng turned around and left, Xiao Rongyue anxiously shouted: "Bai Yansheng! Do you dare to follow me to Yongjing?"

Bai Yansheng stopped, turned to look at her suspiciously: "Meng Ziyou surrounded Yongjing like an iron barrel, are you going to Yongjing now?"

Xiao Rongyue rolled her eyes, and thanks to her quick wit, she thought of a moderate reason: "I have never been to the Southern Dynasty. Mr. Dong once wrote poems. Luo Chengxing. If you are willing to accompany me to Yongjing to see and see, I will treat you as a repayment, and I will not owe anyone any more!"

The hot wind in June blows across the field, the summer grass is luxuriant, and the heat is approaching. The wind and rain are combined, and the land becomes a river.

Bai Yansheng thought of Xianbei's staring tigers, Jiangdong's political chaos, Xichuan's tigers and whales, the world's turmoil, and all kinds of complicated things. It was really not the time to accompany this little girl wandering around. He just wanted to say:

Jiangdong is in chaos, how could the daughter of the princess not know how to cherish it?But when he saw Xiao Rongyue's eager and eager look in his eyes, he couldn't help feeling pity.

Tens of thousands of races have their own support, but a lonely cloud has no support.He was born in a humble background, experienced ups and downs, prepared for dangers, had no parents, no wives and children, and thought that this girl, like himself, had left her hometown and probably would never return to the North, so he couldn't easily refuse her.

By accident, Bai Yansheng overlapped her and Yan Rong's shadows.

"Okay. I'll accompany you to Yongjing. But you have to listen to me along the way. You can't argue with others, and you can't think of anything to do. After you meet the person you want to see, you have to go back to Xuzhou immediately."

He was still rambling about the three chapters of the agreement, Xiao Rongyue laughed and got on the horse, yanked the horse's weight, the rouge horse spread its hooves, and ran straight to the south happily.

The two traveled south all the way and entered the Jianghuai area in a few days.After Bai Yanfeng and Sun Jiren led troops south from Xuzhou, they swept all the way, and now they are stationed in Shouchun City at the foot of Bagong Mountain, and they have fought several times with the Shu soldiers sporadically, seesawing between the Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers.

Bai Yansheng agreed to go south, in fact, he also wanted to inquire about the military situation by the way, and examine the reality of Yanfeng's troops.Passing by Shouchun, I saw that the military equipment at the head of the city was in order, the soldiers were full of energy, and they felt at ease, so they walked around the city without disturbing them.

A few days later, when we arrived in Luzhou, we suddenly saw more and more refugees along the road, many of whom had brought their families from the south of the Yangtze River.He inquired about it, and said that the Shu bandits were attacking so fiercely that Yongjing was about to be unable to resist, so he felt at a loss.

Xiao Rongyue walked with him all the way, and as expected, she put on a human skin mask according to the previous agreement, and did not fight or cause trouble, behaved like a cat.The two traveled south this time, and the atmosphere was much better than when they escaped from Yanmen Pass that day.At that time, they were in the Absolute Territory, rushing to their deaths day and night, and in a bad mood, both of them had sullen faces and didn't have a few good words to say.This time, along the way, the mountains and rivers in the hinterland of the Central Plains were picturesque and fascinating. Xiao Rongyue looked east and west, and the time passed without knowing it.When she really had time to rest and chat, Xiao Rongyue would ask him for advice on fighting in battle.Xianbei regards horses as heroes. Although she is a daughter, she traveled with her father and brother when she was young, and she has been influenced by what she has seen and heard, and she often has unique insights.At the beginning, Bai Yansheng felt that men and women were very defensive, and traveling would be inconvenient and taboo, but later saw that she was innocent and easygoing, so she gradually let go of her guard, and felt relieved along the way, as if she had an extra girl and a confidant.

One day the white geese came back from asking for directions, but Xiao Rongyue was nowhere to be seen, so he looked around anxiously, only to hear horses neighing in the grass in the distance, mixed with human voices.He yelled inwardly that he was not good, and hurried away, but before he got close, a figure flew across.

He dodged slightly, and the man fell to the ground, his limbs and ribs were broken, he vomited blood wildly, and wailed again and again.Looking forward, Xiao Rongyue was surrounded by three or four people, and said angrily: "Go away, you want to eat my General Rouge, it's a good idea!" Although she is strong in martial arts, she can't beat four hands with two fists. One person's eyes were red with hunger again, and he kept pestering her. One of them sneaked around her and rushed towards the bay red horse with a broken knife in his hand.

It was so fast that the sound of Bai Yan had no time to stop it, Xiao Rongyue swiped the Fengming sword behind his back, the cold light passed by, and the man's body and head were separated.The bay red horse raised its front hooves in shock and kicked his broken head like a ball.In the eyes of everyone, it seemed that a horse descended from the gods, stomping on its head, breaking its neck and spurting blood.

The remaining three were terrified, and retreated a little. Xiao Rongyue once said that she would never punish innocent people with the sword, and once she met a villain, she would be merciless in raising her sword and falling with her sword. If she caught up with one or two, she would die with one blow .The last person fled to Bai Yansheng's side, and fell to the ground with his feet, unable to get up again.

Xiao Rongyue caught up and raised her sword to stab her, but was blocked by Bai Yansheng's hand. She lost her temper and said coldly, "They wanted to eat my horse and kill me just now!"

After all, Bai Yansheng was a Han Chinese, and he didn't want to see her kill people who had no resistance, and he was afraid of the opposite effect when he said it clearly, so he said: "Wait, wait until I ask him a few words before killing."

The man was so obedient, and immediately wailed and begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, and woman, spare your life! Don't dare to think of the horse again!"

Xiao Rongyue had just been attacked suddenly, so she didn't have time to take a closer look, but now she calmed down and looked at this man, she saw that he was in his early thirties, his head was battered, his face looked hungry, and his clothes were torn, but it was undoubtedly a military uniform .So he put his sword back into its sheath temporarily, and signaled Bai Yan to ask.

Bai Yansheng stepped forward and stepped on his chest, causing him to vomit blood. In fact, he was secretly helping him to vomit the blood in his lungs. Seeing that Xiao Rongyue was deceived by revenge, he said to the man: "Which soldiers are you from? Yongjing is under siege, why did you leave your post and steal people and horses here?"

The man had been beaten bloody by Xiao Rongyue long ago, and he howled, "Good man, good man, please spare us. We are the Jiangbei army. The camp by the riverside was broken by the Shu army a few days ago. Mencius You's subordinates Yongjing has already been captured, and our remnants have been defeated, and we are going to flee back to our hometown together."

Bai Yansheng and Xiao Rongyue looked at each other, shocked, so fast!

It was only [-] days ago that Mencius You came to Yongjing.It was only ten days ago that Bai Yansheng ordered Yanfeng to lead troops to King Qin, could it be that Yongjing couldn't even defend these few days?

Bai Yansheng still couldn't believe it, and asked in a trembling voice: "This happened a few days ago? Are you lying to me? There are 5 elite soldiers staying in Yongjing every day. There are 10 people, how can a total of [-] horses not be able to defend?"

The man wailed and said: "Don't dare to lie, the city was destroyed three or four days ago. What about a hundred thousand elite soldiers, the army has been in arrears of food and wages for several years, each has his own family, who is willing to sacrifice his life if he can't get the money? Your Majesty When the Taishanghuang left two months ago, even the Imperial Forest Army fled for half of the news. When the Shu thieves besieged the city, they all pretended to be dead and refused to fight. When they heard the alarm, they fled in anticipation of the battle and guarded the city!"

When he spoke rudely, Xiao Rongyue burst out laughing, knelt down and patted his face and said, "The emperor is not short on hungry soldiers! You are right!"

The voice of Bai Yan still did not give up, and he said again: "The city of Yongjing is strong and has enough food, and the Yangtze River is a natural moat. Some soldiers escape, and even a general can guard for years. What's more, there is the prince and grand tutor Xie Kun, who is full of loyalty and good generals. , Xie Liancheng, Xie Feng, and Xie Rui are all in the army, how can we sit idly by?"

"If only dozens of people escape, they can be punished by military law. Today there are more than [-] people, and everyone wants to escape. Even with Sun Wu's military orders, it is difficult to stop them!" The man rolled his eyes on the ground, took a breath and sneered, " Xie Kun? Although the emperor ordered him to stay behind, he can’t be the master. Yongjing city is guarded by Han Xianzong, led by the eunuchs and supervised by eunuchs. When the city was broken three days ago, Xie Kun had committed suicide and apologized.”

Bai Yan sounded like thunder, shaking his body, it took him a long time to come back to his senses, he grabbed the man from the ground and looked at him carefully.Although the man was disheveled, but his moves were very bright, and he spoke clearly, he was not a confused person.Bai Yansheng gritted his teeth and said: "I'll ask you something, if you tell the truth, I will spare your life."

"What position do you have in the army? How did the Shu army destroy Yongjing? Why didn't anyone rush to help the Jiangbei camp? Where was the navy?"

The man stood up, also tall and arrogant, and said with a bit of arrogance: "I am a centurion in the Jiangbei army. More than 20 years ago, the Meng bandits claimed that 5 people came out of Xiangyang and broke into the Jianghuai area. At that time, the Jiangbei camp In the area of ​​Chuzhou and Guangling, Xie Feng and Xie Rui brothers were leading the army, and strongly advocated to attack westward. But Han Xianzong in Yongjing city feared that they would be too far away from the Yangtze River defense line and could not protect the capital, so he ordered them not to attack. General Xie Feng refused to listen, and supervised Jun Li eunuch took his seal of command, tied him to Yangzhou, and handed him over to the emperor. Han Xianzong sent another confidant officer to command." He said here with righteous indignation, and spit on the ground .

Xiao Rongyue watched from the sidelines, listening to other people's bloody and tearful stories of country ruin and family destruction, and commented: "This Xie Feng is not a pussy! Without the buffer of the Jianghuai land, the Yangtze River's natural moat is not dangerous. Once the soldiers approach the city, it will be a big deal. ! Well, why don't you continue talking?"

The man continued: "A few days after the dog officer came, the Meng thief came over, and had no choice but to go out to fight. Although the Meng thief claims to be [-], I see that the number of [-] is not enough. Fighting and fighting A strange wind blew up in the dark, dark clouds filled the sky, and it was difficult to distinguish the enemy from five feet away. At this time, the dog officer ordered the army to light the torches, so that the enemy and the enemy could be clearly seen..."

"Ah, idiot, idiot!" Xiao Rongyue, who had been in the army for a long time and understood the key, jumped and scolded at this moment.

The man glanced at Xiao Rongyue, and said sarcastically: "Even a little girl like you understands the truth, but the general who commands tens of thousands of troops doesn't understand it, and none of his subordinates speaks out. What is the dead self? Light up the torch and illuminate yourself, the enemy army is in the dark, but our army is in the light, it is like a living target, and the army will be defeated immediately."

Bai Yansheng showed grief and indignation, this is really an unprecedented defeat!

"Fortunately, the sky is dark again in less than a stick of incense. If you rectify the formation at this time and temporarily retreat to the camp to defend, there is still a chance of victory. Who would have thought that the dog officer was so frightened that he was so frightened that Jiangbei didn't dare Wait any longer, and order the remnant army to immediately retreat across the river to the south."

Another trick!This time Xiao Rongyue was no longer unusual and weird, she just curled her lips.

"How can there be a half-battle that turns around and crosses the river to escape, revealing its back to the enemy? As a result, the Meng thief took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill. Not only was the Jiangbei camp destroyed, but tens of thousands of comrades bleed into a river, turning the river red. I felt bad at the time, and instead of going south, I took a few of my men and ran north instead, killing a bloody path in the rebellious army, but I just fled here, and there are not many brothers left." He said here , the tiger's eyes turned red, and two tears of blood flowed down his face.

The author has something to say: This is how the defense of Yongjing is described side-by-side.In addition, there are very few comments in these chapters. Is it because I collapsed?
