The runaway general of the black-bellied book

All the way north from Zhuojing, the temperature gradually began to drop.

On the way home, the spring blossoms and the vitality that represented the early spring began to turn into the barren scene that Li Yuze and the others were familiar with.

Li Yuze and Zhao Chengbi rode side by side, leading the team at the front.

As he walked, the sound of the wind in his ears gradually became louder. When it blew on people, it was no longer a warm warmth. His face would become icy cold after a while, and it might even be painful to be scratched.

But for them, good weather is something they can’t come by.I am used to staying in Shuobei, and the wind blade like this bone scraping knife is the test of Xuan Tieqi's familiarity.

But for Cho Seung-bi, who has been stationed in the west and central regions... the wind hits his face, it really hurts! ! !

He quietly glanced at Li Yuze who had no special reaction at all, and then at the black iron cavalry behind him who was advancing steadily without changing his expression, and finally gave in, and quietly suppressed his urge to cover his face with a cloth towel.

——So, people still have to be prepared for danger all the time... I just haven't been on the battlefield for a year, and I'm already... so unaccustomed to these things?

Zhao Chengbi shook his head in a self-deprecating manner, and couldn't help but silently smiled bitterly—ever since his right leg was disabled, he never thought that he would be able to go to the battlefield one day...

It can only be said that this time is also God's will - the war in the north is urgent, and with Li Yuze's ability alone, it may be difficult to resist the joint attack of the Qiang people, so His Majesty asked Zhao Chengbi to follow him to the north, even if he stayed in the camp. Li Yuze's role as a military adviser is definitely better than leaving this big treasure in Zhuojing to make ashes.

However, thinking of the expression on the princess's face that was so dark that she was about to kill him before he went out, Zhao Chengbi shrunk his neck guiltily - if he went back and coaxed him well, he should be able to coax him well...?

Li Yuze glanced at Zhao Chengbi's subconsciously squinted eyes, and asked, "Brother Zhao, are you not used to the weather in the Northland?"

Zhao Chengbi nodded honestly: "Indeed, I have been leading troops in Quezhou before. Congyi, to tell you the truth, I haven't been to Cangzhou further north."

Li Yuze took the rein in his hand, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao may have to suffer a little in the past few days... But the camp is warm, so you don't have to worry about sleeping at night. It’s all enough to eat, and it’s probably only a matter of time before you get used to it. But I’m a little worried, can your legs still hold up?”

Li Yuze was actually very happy that Zhao Chengbi could follow him to Shuobei—after all, the other party had more experience in leading troops and fighting than he did, and besides Quezhou, Zhao Chengbi also spent a lot of time in the west. In terms of the experience of fighting barbarians and foreign enemies, Zhao Chengbi only has a lot more experience than Li Yuze.

But the opponent's physical fitness is indeed not as good as before, especially that accident... Every time Li Yuze thinks about it, he feels extremely regretful.

He clearly understood Zhao Chengbi's talent in leading troops to fight. If such a war genius could only spend the rest of his life away from the battlefield due to accidents, he didn't know whether it was a pity or luck.

Back this time, Li Yuze didn't meet Zhao Chengbi in a serious way to say a few words, and more of them chatted a few words between the ups and downs on weekdays.

What relieved him a little was that despite the accident, Cho Seung-bi seemed to be in a good mental state, not as decadent as the veterans in Li Yuze's army who retired due to injuries, and the opponent's legs seemed to be recovering fairly well. He was able to walk up and down, but if he didn't look carefully, he probably wouldn't be able to see that his legs were disabled.

Zhao Chengbi said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not useless, and it's more than enough to run a horse on weekdays... But if I really let me kill the enemy in the mall, then I'm afraid I can only do a disservice to you Congyi gone."

"Brother, don't say that!" Li Yuze hurriedly said, "You can come to Shuobei with me, to be honest, when His Majesty gave the order, I was really surprised..."

He didn't even know how to express his thoughts, so he could only say frankly: "It's great that you and I can fight side by side."

"Is it cold in the north?" The horse walked steadily forward, and Zhao Chengbi casually brought up another topic. "I heard from the princess that it's quite cold over there."

——When he came out this time, the princess forcibly stuffed several large cotton-padded clothes into his originally small luggage, which made the whole luggage bulging, which was particularly conspicuous among the simplified luggage of the soldiers.

"It's quite cold. I feel like I should cover myself with the quilt carefully at night. Otherwise, when I wake up in the morning, my toes may be frozen and it will take several hours to turn around..."

Li Yuze described it to him carefully, and explained a few things to pay attention to when living in Shuobei.He suddenly realized something was wrong, raised his head and asked, "Brother Zhao just said... the princess?"

Zhao Chengbi nodded and said: "That's right. You may not know about Congyi. The princess used to stay in Beidi before. At that time, the northern part of Cangzhou didn't belong to us... At that time, you should have been a teenager. In his early years?"

Li Yuze really didn't know about this matter, so he couldn't help being a little surprised, and sighed: "I didn't expect a princess to be so brave! She really deserves to be a role model for my generation!"

——He has nothing to do with the princess, but Li Yuze has heard a lot about the other party's deeds... The princess is kind-hearted and talented.Both the late emperor and the empress left early. Apart from His Majesty, the princess doesn't seem to communicate with outsiders very much.

Zhao Chengbi sighed, and couldn't help sighing: "At that time, the situation was turbulent, and the princess and Your Majesty depended on each other...it was not easy. Fortunately, everything is over now."

He didn't even realize that when he said these words, pity for people inadvertently ran out of his eyes.

Li Yuze was a little strange, and asked casually: "Brother Zhao and the princess are very familiar?"

——The princess didn't even show up at the banquet very much in the past few years, and she didn't even care about the government at all. In Li Yuze's perception, the other party was like a reclusive golden branch and jade leaf.

...Will such a person have anything to do with Cho Seung-bi?

Zhao Chengbi coughed unnaturally: "No, no, no... I just know these things... Besides, didn't the princess also stay in Beidi for a while? Before I set off, I learned from others , I will naturally get a little familiar with it after going back and forth."

Li Yuze asked with concern: "Then what did His Majesty ask you to do? Wouldn't it be better to let the princess come?"

——Although it seems a bit inconvenient for a girl to come...

Zhao Chengbi explained: "I took the initiative to tell His Majesty that I would come, and the princess will not come."

Li Yuze became even more confused: "Then why didn't the princess come when you came?"

—Of course I don’t want him to come…

Only then did Zhao Chengbi realize later that he and Li Yuze both came out to be quails? ——Good guy...he hides from the princess, who does Li Yuze hide from?Hiding from Fang Yimin?

He tried to cover up and explained: "Are you stupid, Cong Yi? Think about it, who is the princess, a golden branch and a jade leaf! Besides, he is a princess, and he is inconvenient..."

——The identity of the princess cannot be disclosed to the public, but it is convenient for Zhao Chengbi to find a legitimate reason for his wanting to go out to catch his breath.

——But Xiao Congyi, you...hehehehehe, then what are you hiding?

Zhao Chengbi couldn't say it clearly, he could only signal Li Yuze with his eyes, making Li Yuze even more confused - Zhao Chengbi looked at him like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, it was so fat and fat, it made Li Yuze's heart shudder.

He shook his arms to shake off the goose bumps on his body, and the two "sick and sympathetic" people rode side by side again, heading towards Shuobei.

------

It was different from the leisurely pace when we went back. This time, the military situation in Shuobei was urgent, and Li Yuze and his team rushed back to Shuobei in less than half a month.

Xuan Tieqi established a temporary camp in Shuobei, but it was different from those camps in the central mainland—the camps built on the grasslands were more mobile and less rigid, so that they could move at any time according to military conditions and combat plans. It can also meet certain training requirements.

The area of ​​the camp should not be too large, the soldiers were crowded in tents, and even Li Yuze, who was the commander, had to share a tent with Zhao Chengbi.

"Here, brother, drink some, warm up first."

Li Yuze took out his water bag, but it wasn't filled with water - as soon as the lid was unscrewed, the pungent and spicy smell of wine came out.

Zhao Chengbi took it and took a sip. The wine tasted clear. Although it is not expensive, it is still a good wine for now.

He smiled and praised: "Good boy, I didn't expect you to hide some good things!"

Li Yuze also smiled and said, "It's too cold here, what can I do if I don't drink some of these...By the way, brother, remember not to do other strenuous things before your body warms up one day, or you will be easily injured."

Cho Seung-bi nodded in agreement.In fact, he could feel it as soon as he entered the tent. This place was different from any place he had stayed in before—the stove hadn’t been lit yet in the tent, and it was as cold as an ice cellar. I'm afraid it's going to be so cold that my teeth chatter.

Although the tent is windproof, it can't completely cover the howling wind outside - the bottom is blown and rattled, and some wind always comes in through the gaps. Fortunately, the nails are firmly nailed so that people will not be blown off their feet .

After many years of fighting, even though he took a year off due to injuries, Cho Seung-bi's physical foundation is still sufficient.It's just that his legs... aren't great.

——Zhao Chengbi's leg injury, the imperial doctor said that damp places are the most taboo. Although the humidity in Shuobei is not heavy, the temperature is so low that even the bones are cold.

After sitting like this for a while, his knees felt a slight pain like needle pricks, as if reminding him that the rest of his life after the catastrophe was not easy, and everything that was left had to be taken care of.

Zhao Chengbi didn't dare to make fun of his body - Li Yuze was the commander of Xuan Tieqi, and he only came here to help the other party, but don't be too busy to help the other party, so that it will hinder the other party.

Thinking of this, he quickly got up and took out the leg equipment he had prepared in his luggage.

This set is a bit like a hand stove, but it's a little different-it consists of a stove and a fox fur cloak. The stove is covered with a layer of gauze and twisted with layers of twisted wire to prevent the cloak from falling on the ground. The coals of the stove were burning.When a person stretches his legs into the cloak, the knees can be completely wrapped airtight. For people like Zhao Chengbi in Shuobei, it is like a life-saving thing.

"Hey, big brother, what are you..." Li Yuze walked over after putting out the water bag, and saw something on Zhao Chengbi's leg, feeling a little strange. "This is a good thing!"

The fur of the fox is delicate and soft, Li Yuze touched it a few times, and it still feels very fresh.

Zhao Chengbi nodded, his tone couldn't be more natural: "Well, before I came out, the princess asked someone to make it for me."

Li Yuze: ...

(Why does it feel like I'm being fed dog food again? Is it my illusion? Or do they really have something?!)

Li Yuze shook his head and emptied his mind of these irrelevant thoughts, and when he opened his eyes again, there were only these things that Shuobei had to worry about.

"In short, tonight should be the most difficult. Don't worry too much. Since the Qiang people are standing still, let's get a good sleep and get up tomorrow to see what they are planning."

Zhao Chengbi nodded and agreed.

------

This time, Li Yuze didn't sleep soundly. He always felt as if he had forgotten something important. Even in his dream, his brows were furrowed.

"What's going on?!" Suddenly, he heard the noise outside, and he woke up from his sleep instantly.

"General, there's water in the back kitchen! But it's not serious, the soldiers are trying their best to fight it, so please don't worry, general!"

Li Yuze looked through the wind-proof tent, and the distant flames were filtered by the tarpaulin, leaving only a hazy layer of orange-red.

Although the soldiers who came to report said so, Li Yuze always felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, as if he was trying to remind him of some important details he had forgotten.

After all, he was used to licking blood with the tip of a knife on the battlefield. Li Yuze believed in judgment, but at this time, he believed in his own reason even more.

He then said: "Wait for me for a while, let's go out and have a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put on the outer robe that had been placed on the bedside, and followed the soldiers out of the tent while tying it.

The fire was controlled in time, and it was extinguished by the soldiers who heard the news before it burned much.Only a small part of the barracks of the back kitchen was burned, leaving a shocking blackness on the green grass.

"General, this matter is all my fault... If you want to punish, punish me!"

A cook in the back kitchen lowered his head guiltily, anxiously waiting for Li Yuze's punishment.

Li Yuze raised his eyelids and glanced at him - Xuan Tieqi had a hard life, and his itinerary was erratic, unlike the general frontier garrison, who usually ate dry food when marching and fighting.

Later, it was Li Yuze who saw that they had stayed in Shuobei for too long, eating black bean pancakes every day was outrageous, so he asked His Majesty to add three cooks to improve the food.The two of them were from the original team from the beginning, only this one... because the last cook came home to Ding You, he was recommended by a soldier and joined.

Li Yuze stared at him for a while, then said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Tell me about it."

"Today I want to make a delicious meal for the soldiers..." The cook rubbed his hands nervously, "This braised pork will be boring for a long time, so I lit the fire first, and planned to cook something else in the middle... …Unexpectedly, I was called away later, and I didn’t extinguish it without paying attention, and accidentally burned the firewood next to me..."

The soldiers next to them watched the cook mention the braised pork that was supposed to be an extra meal for them, and then looked at the tent that had been burned to ashes, and swallowed with heartache.

Li Yuze turned his head to look at these people, then turned back to the cook and asked in a flat tone, "An extra meal today? Is today a big day?"

——The content of his question was plain, but the tone was too straightforward, with a kind of undisguised accusation.

Li Yuze has always been more than a deterrent to his subordinates, but he is not strict.He has always treated his subordinates seriously, so when he showed this attitude today, even the soldiers standing next to him became afraid.

The cook was a little nervous, and argued: "It's not a big day, I just want to cook something delicious for everyone, after all, I just came back..."

"Our meat has always been limited. In the past, even if we won a battle, we didn't have to eat it. Only when we win a big battle, will the army cook a meal." Li Yuze looked at him and continued, "You have been with him for a year, don't tell me I don't know you."

The soldiers next to him saw that the atmosphere was not right, and wanted to persuade him: "Commander, don't be angry..."

"Yes, yes! It's been a long time since I led you back, and the soldiers haven't seen you for a long time..."

Before the cook could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yuze: "I'm back, so what? So have we won the battle? Now that the Qiang people are overwhelming, don't tell me that you are still in this state, and you only want to drink and eat all day long." Meat! Let me tell you, we don't have the qualifications yet!"

Li Yuze's words shocked everyone, and the scene fell silent for a moment.

The cook saw that something was wrong with the surrounding situation, and knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he suddenly burst out laughing.

The soldiers next to him looked at each other, only Li Yuze stared at the out-of-control cook with an unclear expression.

At this moment, a cry came from outside: "General, it's not good! Our spies came to report that the Qiang army stationed [-] miles away was rushing towards us... there are about half of them left." The hour is coming to us!"

The cook laughed a few times: "Li Yuze! I have finally waited for this day, and you have today too... Hahahahahahahahaha! Let me tell you, we have made a perfect plan, and we must take your head today!"

Li Yuze looked at him with a calm expression: "It's you, right? Why?"

"For the sake of my fellow clans that you killed, do you know that I have been staying at the place closest to you for more than 300 days and moons, just for this kind of day..." The cook gritted his teeth and looked at him, "You The scum who killed thousands of knives... I must avenge them!"

Li Yuze glanced at him and pointed out the loopholes in the cook's words: "If you hadn't taken the initiative to invade, I wouldn't have done this. So you are going to say, are you all forced? Then our people, you are forced to do it at will. Robbery, murder, kidnapping and bullying are all owed to you? How big is your face?!"

Li Yuze sneered: "It's really an inherent ability of you Qiang people to beat back."

The cook was torn off his disguise by Li Yuze, and became angry from embarrassment. He rushed up and shouted: "Li Yuze, I want to fight you!!!"

The soldiers next to him had already tightly controlled him, but the cook was still hiding a little bit. As soon as he threw his arms away from the soldiers who were holding him down, he rushed towards Li Yuze.

With a flash of sword light and a flash of cold light, the sword around Li Yuze's waist was unsheathed, and in an instant, the head of the cook fell to the ground.

Li Yuze's military boots stepped on the cook's distorted face, with a grim expression.

He said in a deep voice: "Everyone, follow me and retreat first!"
