Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other Chapter 59: (complete)

Thousands of miles of fighters, thousands of miles of yellow sand, the wind blows the robes and hunts, and the coolness hits people.

It has been almost half a month since I left the capital. The counties and capitals I passed along the way, except for a bit of desolation, are finally as peaceful as before. It can be seen that the Nie family army has not broken the defending army and headed north. In other words In other words, Zezhou and Tongguan should not fall for the time being.

For the past few days, I have been trying to get close to the road but failed to receive the relevant information in time. I am not sure whether the current security is because the imperial reinforcements rushed to Zezhou to defend the city, and I don't even know whether Song Langsheng's army broke through the canyon and turned the corner to safety or has the whole army. I didn’t dare to think about it, for fear that I would not be able to endure it if I thought too much. I still had a glimmer of hope in my heart. Finally, I came to Zezhou when several horses were exhausted and even I was about to die with the horses.

From the distance between the mountains, Zezhou City is already within sight, and we should be able to reach it within two hours.

Thanks to the personal protection of the 100 shadow guards of the Mingjian Division, oh, under my order, they put on the uniforms of the guards and followed me uprightly. In terms of it, it can be worth ten. In this way, I can barely be regarded as a thousand households leading a thousand troops. In case of any crisis, it should be easier to escape.

As the night approached, the trees in front of me suddenly burst into flames, illuminating the mountains and fields almost instantly. This well-trained and exacting order was naturally from the army. My guards drew their swords and stood up I was guarding the center, and I followed the firelight and looked fixedly. About a thousand or more black armored soldiers stood on their horses and slowly approached our direction. Judging from their clothes, they should be the local garrison guards.

I thought we would meet the enemy first, but what we didn't expect was that it was our own people who discovered our whereabouts first.

I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to reveal my identity, when I heard someone shout, "He Fang bandit, dare to attack Zezhou City at night!"

I was stunned for a while. This voice was so familiar. Although it seemed to be more powerful than the original one, it still couldn't hide the faintly funny meaning, but who wasn't Lu Lingjun?

I raised my voice: "My surname is Bai, and my two names are Yujing. They are the good brothers of the famous Lu Qianhu. I wonder if your Excellency has heard of it?"

As soon as these words came out, a black armored soldier dismounted first, and the fire was bright and dark, cutting out the handsome outline of the man, I rode the horse forward, he saw my face clearly, strode toward me, and couldn't hang his face. "Brother Bai, why are you here?"

I rolled over and dismounted, signalling the guards to put away their swords. I was waiting to have a good talk with Lu Lingjun. Who would have expected him to hug me as soon as he came forward, and said happily, "I miss you so much."

"..." The next moment, I heard the sound of the sword being drawn again behind me, and the stunned look of a soldier in front of me.

What I'd like to say is, Brother Lu, I'm wearing men's clothing at the moment. Is it really appropriate to do this in public?

Seeing my guards staring at him, Lu Lingjun waved his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, relax, I'm your master's friend, she doesn't mind, so don't be too stingy." Looking at me, "right brother Bai?"

I smiled slightly and said, "Brother Lu, have you considered my feelings when you embrace my soft cloth with this iron armor?"

Lu Lingjun let go immediately.

He couldn't help laughing when he saw me, knowing that I was deliberately making fun of him, and stuck out his tongue: "I'm not taking the opportunity? When I meet General Song, I'm afraid I won't have this chance."

I was overjoyed to hear him mention Song Langsheng, "Is he in Zezhou City? Is he safe and sound? Is he injured?"

Lu Lingjun said: "Guess what?"

Me: "..."

He smiled and said, "I'll tell you unless you say you've come all the way to find me."

I was stunned for a while, then turned back to the guard and ordered: "Shang, stab him!"

The speed of Ah Shang's sword is naturally very fast, Lu Lingjun spun his back and easily avoided, he took three steps away from me with lingering fears, patted his chest and said: "Princess, you are so stingy, you should even make a joke. It's going to cause death." Seeing that I was smiling, he quickly said, "Song's soldiers are in Zezhou City, so I'll take Brother Bai to see him."

Although I haven't figured out the situation yet, it seems that Song Langsheng has escaped the disaster successfully.

From childhood to adulthood, whenever I was in danger, I would rationally make various worst-case plans, so as to make myself mentally prepared not to be easily overwhelmed. Worse yet, the bad guys are always outrageous and treacherous beyond imagination. When I no longer had any hope in my life and gave up on the prospect, I suddenly dropped such a good news out of thin air. I felt a little unreal and erratic for no reason.

On the way, Lu Lingjun saw my impatient appearance, shook his head and said, "You are so happy when you mention the concubine, why do you have no reaction at all when you see me? Are you so obsessed with your friends?"

I gave him a sideways look and said, "I said Brother Lu, you are already a thousand households, why are you so unremarkable..."

Jun Lu Ling said: "No, now I am a member of the deputy general barracks..."

"You've been promoted again? It seems that you have made a contribution to the canyon battle. What's going on, tell me quickly..."

Lu Lingjun said mysteriously: "The princess should go and ask the greatest hero in person..."

The long night was silent. If it wasn't for the letter from Lu Lingjun, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to enter the city so smoothly.

As soon as he entered the city, Lu Lingjun put away his idle attitude, nodded slightly with me, and hurried to the barracks, waving the reins, I was a little surprised, and followed closely.

The streets of Zezhou City were deserted at night, but after a while, we arrived at the barracks. Following him all the way, it seems that Lu Lingjun is still somewhat recognizable in the army. I haven't seen the concubine for a long time, and the thought of reuniting soon makes me a little emotional, and I can't wait to appear in front of him immediately out of thin air.

However, fact and imagination have some way out.

When Lu Lingjun finished the announcement and brought me into the camp, what I saw were several generals standing in the room. When they saw Lu Lingjun brought me in, their expressions sank, "Who told me? You brought irrelevant people into the camp!"

Just as Lu Lingjun was about to explain, I walked closer and said, "General Zhao, General Wang, General Li, can't I recognize this palace even if I change my clothes?"

The generals Zhao Gan, Wang Yi, and Li Sheng often met with me in Beijing on weekdays. When they heard the voice, they saw me clearly. They quickly bowed and saluted. Zhao Gan first asked, "Your Highness, Princess, what are you doing? Will you come to Zezhou?"

"This princess has come to visit the military on the orders of Your Majesty." I took out the secret edict from my pocket and handed it to several generals. If I can get there safely, it will at least keep me clear of the barracks.

After reading it, the generals respectfully returned the secret edict to me. I asked, "Why don't you see General Song?"

They led me into the back room, and I saw the concubine lying on the bed at a glance. Seeing his eyes closed and his lips pale, I was so frightened that I rushed to the side to visit him. Snorted, and then regained some sense of sanity, "What's wrong with him?"

Zhao Gan said: "General Song was injured, but there is no fear of his life. He just fell asleep and has not woken up yet."

I lifted the quilt and found a thick bandage wrapped around his left side. I remembered that when Lu Lingjun was outside just now, he mentioned Song Langsheng from time to time. kind of situation? I hid my trembling hands in my sleeves and said, "So, you don't want outsiders to know about General Song's injury? What happened during these days?"

The three generals exchanged glances again, and Zhao Gan said, "This is a long story."

It turns out that long before the Battle of Canyon Pass, Song Langsheng and Huo Chuan discovered a cave in the side cliff of the Shili River Canyon when they were surveying the terrain. It's secret, the space inside is not small, and the shade is cool and not damp. Song Langsheng thought it was a good place to store food. However, this is just an idea after all. How can food be stored here in this wild country? Not to mention the enemy army, even the birds and beasts will eat all the food first.

Waiting for the rebels to crush the border, the emperor's military order came from the capital, ordering the army to lead the enemy to the canyon to attack and win. Huo Chuan was seriously injured that day, and several generals were not optimistic about this strategy. After all, we can think of it. Nie Guang may not have imagined that if Tongguan could not send troops for some reason, it would almost mean that the entire army would be wiped out. The words are to say that there will be something wrong with the orders of the foreign monarchs, but the new emperor blatantly disobeyed the first order after he ascended the throne, but he did not take the emperor's prestige seriously. The emperor will remember them when he returns to the imperial city in the future. For one stroke, Song Langsheng didn't care, but the other generals remained silent, lest one slip of their feet would turn into eternal hatred.

At the time of the dilemma, Song Langsheng remembered that cave. If someone could risk the danger to transfer military rations to that place silently overnight, and guard the cave to ensure that the military rations would not be eaten by insects and beasts, Maybe this battle can be an important part of reversing the situation.

This is a daunting task, and food keepers not only need extremely high resilience and courage, but also be prepared to die at any time. Whether on the way or in the cave, as long as the enemy receives a little wind, the result is self-evident.

Just as the generals were considering candidates for food delivery, one of them volunteered.

This person is Lu Lingjun.

Lu Lingjun lived up to his expectations, and the general rations were successfully delivered to the caves in the canyon, so the next key is to deploy the strategy of the battle.

"Strategy?" After hearing this, I already understood a little, "If you have planned from the beginning that the enemy will hinder the dispatch of troops from Tongguan, then you have to borrow troops from Tongguan at the beginning."

Zhao Gan nodded and said: "What the princess said is very true. If Tongguan refuses to make no troops, only 50,000 troops and horses can stop the enemy's attack. In this way, we borrowed another 50,000 elite horses from Tongguan."

I said: "But the enemy's main army has more than 300,000 troops, and I thought that the back-road army could reach at most 100,000, but who expected it to be more than 100,000 troops and horses than we thought, and The 50,000 cavalry of Zezhou and Tongguan did not exceed 300,000, so how did you finally win?"

Lu Lingjun smiled softly, "How did the princess know that our army has won?"

I glanced at him, "If you lose, Zezhou will be at stake at this moment, how can you guys still be in the mood to talk about the war with me in detail here?"

Zhao Gan said: "General Song and the last general led 150,000 elite soldiers to raid the enemy's army camp. After fighting for a whole day, they deliberately let the enemy army cut off our food and grass, and were defeated in the Shili River Canyon."

My heart still lingered: "150,000 versus 300,000 troops? You guys are crazy."

Li Sheng interjected: "General Zhao's formation technique is exquisite, and it was intentional to lose the battle. If you really want to fight with blood and fight to the death, it is still unknown who will kill the deer."

I glanced at the young general, and it seemed that he admired Zhao Gan very much, and I smiled slightly: "So, you have finally retreated? In this case, Nie Guang will not underestimate the enemy, they have already If you lose your food and grass, it would be better to trap you in the Shili River Canyon and wait for their back-road army, and then catch them all in one go, waiting for you to work at ease, and then you will fall into your trap."

Li Sheng glanced at me in surprise, Zhao Gan nodded and said, "That's right."

Just when Nie Guang thought that our military horses were forced into a dead end, Song Langsheng and Zhao Gan led everyone to recharge their energy and sleep well after five days. , Nie Guang thought it was a good time to attack in one fell swoop, but he didn't want Song Langsheng to bring the well-fed soldiers back to life and kill a carbine. Although the local militia was uneven, the rescued soldiers were all powerful. In the end, Nie Guang scattered the army because he underestimated the enemy, and was defeated by our army one by one. Nearly half of his troops were lost and he could only retreat in a hurry.

It's just... in a disadvantageous situation, breaking through the enemy's main army with 150,000 troops was originally a gamble. In this battle of life and death, the rebel generals were ordered to besiege Song Langsheng, thousands of Knives and swords were all attacking him. He was hit with two knives and one arrow, and it was a fortune among misfortunes that he could barely leave his life and return to Zezhou.

I can imagine the cruelty and tragic on the battlefield, but when I hear the process of the concubine escaping from the dead, I can still hear the vibrato in my heart. Fortunately, he is still alive, and he is still alive. is the best thing.

Several generals were stunned and silent when they saw me, but they didn't know how to continue the words, or Lu Lingjun knew my intention and said: "The princess and the concubine meet again after a long time, so I won't disturb the princess to rest. , your subordinates will retire first."

As soon as he said this, the other three generals also came to their senses, and they quickly said goodbye and left. Finally, there were only me and the concubine left in the whole room.

The sky outside the window was dark, and the breeze was blowing the candles to extinguish. I saw his face was pale, and I guessed that he was freezing. Thinking of this, I took off his coat and got into his bedding to keep him warm. I didn't expect his bed for a seriously injured patient to be so warm. After so many days on the road, I was really exhausted. As soon as I closed my eyes, the layers of softness hit him. Fell asleep.

I slept till dawn.

I was awakened by the chirping of birds. When I woke up, the sunrise had not yet fully risen, and the sky was still bright. I rubbed my eyes, my mind was a little confused, and I didn't realize where I was for a while. When I saw the concubine who was still sleeping in front of me, I remembered that he escaped from death, and I shared the bed with him all night, and my heart was inexplicably calmed down.

When my mind returned, I propped up and looked down at his face. A small cut on my eyebrows had scabbed over. It must have been caused by the blade of the enemy that was almost avoided on the battlefield. I caressed it. After touching his scars, he couldn't help but touch his eyebrows and eyes, then the bridge of his nose, and finally when he touched his mouth, his fingers were disobediently replaced by my lips.

I have longed for too long, lest it be a beautiful dream in front of me, I kissed him carefully, but saw his eyebrows move slightly, I stopped in a daze, and saw that he slowly opened his eyes, under the reflection of the morning light , those clear eyes were fluctuating, I stared at him in a daze, for a moment I didn't react, he woke up, the next moment, he wrapped his arms around me, his body trembled slightly, "A Tang..."

I bit my lip and was about to speak when he suddenly said, "Don't talk, every time you talk, you will disappear."

I froze all over. When I understood what he meant, I felt my eyes warm and tears fell unsatisfactorily. He saw me crying and reached out his hand to wipe away my tears. I heard my own choked voice: "Am I also a crybaby in my dream?"

Song Langsheng's fingers flicked, he was almost completely stupid, after a while, he asked me softly: "A Tang...is it really you?"

I raised my hand and wiped my tears, "Didn't you say that I will disappear as soon as I speak? If I don't disappear, it means I am real."

"You, why did you come here? Do you know how dangerous this is?" He couldn't help but scold me, but his hand tightened around me. I was afraid that I would press on his wound, He pushed it out a little bit and said angrily, "You said I was dangerous? Who was it? If it wasn't for Lu Lingjun, Zhao Gan, and the others, I couldn't believe it. When were you so brave that you could even risk your life?"

He smiled slightly and stroked my hair, "I know that I will be able to overcome this disaster. Since I promised to go back to find you, I will never break my promise."

I hugged him aggrievedly, "Anyway, I don't want to leave you anymore, I don't want to pretend to be righteous anymore, I want you to be safe."

He said softly: "Okay, I promise. But you have to tell me what happened?"

I stayed for a while, "What's the matter?"

He sighed: "You must have been wronged in your heart, otherwise, why would you cry when you saw me?"

I stopped crying, looked at him quietly for a while, and said softly: "Consort, I... Royal Father... Before I died, he told me a secret, he told me about my life..."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but I felt his whole body froze slightly, and when he raised his eyes again, he looked as usual, "History?"

"Yeah." I nodded, "He told me... I'm not his biological daughter..."

I told my father and me that day slowly and eloquently.

Those truths that make my heart hurt have been lingering in my heart, I feel like a bird that can't find its homing, flying aimlessly in the vast sky, until I return to Song Langsheng By his side, I can remove all the shackles and burdens, cry unbridled, and tell him my sadness and sadness without any worries.

He will wipe my tears when I cry badly, and pat me on the back when I can't talk, as if the feathers of a bird are injured, although it hurts, the wound is licked lightly , ticklish, warm, nothing reassures me more than him.

At the end, I sobbed: "So...I'm not a princess at all, even my own mother doesn't recognize me, and now, I'm all alone..."

"Who said you were alone?" Song Langsheng nodded my nose, and his voice like a breeze brushed against my ear, "You are my person."

Feeling something violently moving in my chest, I nodded vigorously, thought about it, and then felt that something was wrong, "Your wife is no longer a princess, and you won't be a concubine in the future, why are you acting like nothing... …”

He smiled, "It's good that my wife is you. What difference does it make to me if you are a princess or not?"

I lowered my head and said slowly: "But, the royal father said that the queen mother will not spare me, and I do not want to be enemies with them. I am... I can't go back..."

Song Langsheng said: "Then I won't go back."

"Huh?"

He fixed me in his arms, "The general situation of this battle is set, and Nie Guang's qi will be exhausted. As long as the victory is pursued, the world will be peaceful in the near future."

He said: "At that time, I will carry you away and fly away, and no longer be disturbed by these mundane things."

----------------------------Second update ----------------- -------------------

There is a person in this world who has the same heart as me, and knows what I want without me speaking.

I stared at Song Langsheng in a daze, "The escaped princess and the escaped general, I'm afraid that after we fly away, there will be more mortal worlds to worry about."

He smiled, "Anyway, if I marry you, I'm doomed to not have a peaceful life."

I glanced at him, "Who, who said that. You see, you are the one who cares about the world's peace, otherwise, we will leave immediately and no one will find us."

He froze for a moment, "You want to run away with me now? That's great too." He straightened up, put on a robe, and was about to get out of bed, "Wait, I'll pack up now. "

I hurriedly hugged his waist to keep him from moving, "How can we leave silently at this juncture? Don't let Nie Guang take advantage of the gap and let Nie Guang get in the way."

Song Langsheng looked at me with a smile, and said leisurely, "So who cares about the world's peace?"

I let go and don't look away, "I won't tell you, I'm hungry, I'll go eat."

Good news always follows.

On the second day after Song Langsheng woke up, Huo Chuan, the general who had been in a coma for a long time, also woke up. For the three armies, the return of the two generals was more exciting than the 200,000 reinforcements from the imperial court. . Now that the rebels have lost a lot of strength, and our army is abundant, several generals agreed that they intend to send troops with all their strength before the rebels have time to raise their troops, and take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture the remaining party in one fell swoop.

Victory seems to be in front of you, and you can feel the high morale of the soldiers everywhere in the barracks. Oh, they heard that even my noble royal relative was sent by the emperor to join the rebels with the soldiers. I always greeted me with respect and respect, but I didn't know that I still had such prestige in the army, but Song Langsheng said lightly: "This is not all thanks to your friend Lu Lingjun, who is often in the army. The rhetoric about you, over time, the soldiers believed it too."

I said: "What does it mean to believe it is true, but I have the real ability, okay?"

Speaking of Lu Lingjun, since Song Langsheng heard that he hugged me in full view of the public, he inadvertently asked Lu Xiaoshen, who was training soldiers on the school grounds, to practice horse stance until he came back. until. More than an hour later, when Song Langsheng said he was going to take me to a good noodle restaurant in Zezhou, I couldn't help reminding him that Lu Lingjun was still on the school grounds. Then he remembered Lu Lingjun's existence. When he went to watch, Brother Lu was sweating profusely. He looked at Song Langsheng and gritted his teeth and said, "Public revenge..."

Song Langsheng said leisurely: "The horse stance that disturbed the princess and punished you for an hour is considered merciful. The military orders are like mountains, why are you dissatisfied?"

When Lu Lingjun heard this, he raised his head and glanced at me, and couldn't help but ask: "So, if I stick it for another hour, I can disturb the princess' phoenix body again?"

Me: "..."

Song Langsheng: "I originally wanted to stop it, but it doesn't seem necessary. A-Tang, let's go and eat noodles."

Lu Lingjun: "..."

Seeing that Song Langsheng had gone a few steps away, I quietly retreated, patted Lu Lingjun on the shoulder and said, "Don't be angry, I'll come back at night and sneak a drink for you, you can just squat for a while, no need. Take care of him."

At this time, Song Langsheng looked back at me impatiently. I chased after him as if nothing had happened, wrapped his arms around him and said, "Come here."

He squinted at me, "Why, still reluctant to part with him?"

"You are such a small-minded person that he is so carefree when he is my friend. If he really thinks of me badly, it's too late to avoid suspicion, and Brother Lu, he is a talented person... "

Song Langsheng said: "It is precisely because he is a man that can be made, but he does not know how to restrain himself, and he acts according to his own temperament in the eyes of the public. late."

I nodded and smiled: "So you're doing it for him, not jealous..."

Song Lang said: "I have never been jealous."

Me: "..."

The night of the military camp is not as colorful and prosperous as the people in the city. Some are often bonfires under the starry sky and the bright moon, talking and laughing, and the soldiers drink and eat meat unscrupulously. Oh, there is no more booze. Tomorrow the army will send troops to attack the rebels. The war is imminent, and alcohol is prohibited in the army. However, Lu Lingjun had no problem drinking a little secretly. He did not accompany him in this expedition. Song Langsheng arranged for 100,000 elite soldiers to guard the city and let him stay and sit.

Not being able to go into battle to kill the enemy is more sad for Lu Lingjun than not letting him drink and eat meat. The other soldiers were playing wrestling and sword fighting by the bonfire. I sat beside him with a small jug and quietly handed it to him, "Hey, did I break my promise?"

He took it easily, opened the lid and smelled it, "Are you top grade?"

"That is, I bought it, can it be bad?"

He smiled slightly, put the jug aside, and sighed: "Brother Bai, do you think General Song and the others are not optimistic about me?"

"If I don't like you, why should I let you guard the city? You don't even think about it, who is staying with you this time?" I pointed to my nose and said, "It's me, Song Langsheng. By staying to protect me, you are actually believing in your ability."

Lu Lingjun nodded and said, "You seem to have a little bit of truth in what you said..."

I said: "This time, the enemy's army will take the lead, as long as there is no big difference, victory is inevitable, but defending the city is different. Zezhou and Tongguan are the most important lines of defense in Daqing. Defend it well. , to ensure that we remain invincible, you see, even this does not understand that you have fought for so long."

Lu Lingjun thought for a while, and his expression immediately opened up, "Brother Bai, it's fortunate that you told me, otherwise I'd have to hate the concubine to death."

He can fully believe my nonsense words. It seems that Song Langsheng is right. He needs more experience before he can take on the important task. I held my cheeks and looked at him, suddenly remembered a question, and asked him: "Brother Lu, you have fought for so long, do you know if Nie Ran has personally led his troops to fight?"

"I don't seem to have heard of him... He's not the heir of the previous dynasty. How could Nie Guang, a noble person, be willing to let him show his face? If one of his hands and feet is accidentally cut off, wouldn't he be in vain?" Lu Lingjun tilted his head slightly, "Why did you ask him?"

I said: "It's nothing, I just think it's strange. It stands to reason... He has to establish his dignity to get twice the result with half the effort. With such a passive fighting attitude, there is no rebel spirit at all, isn't it?"

Lu Lingjun squinted, "Why does this sound a little weird to me? You care so much about him, does your concubine know?"

I stepped on the toe of his shoe, "Who cares about him? I just care about the situation of the battle, the situation of the enemy. However, if I ask you, you are not allowed to tell..."

A faint voice came from behind, "Don't tell anyone?"

I patted Lu Lingjun on the shoulder and said, "I have a good conversation with Brother Lu tonight about my ideals in life, and I have learned a lot. I have to digest it and leave..." After I finished speaking, I immediately ran forward. As soon as I took a step, a hand grabbed the collar and pulled me into my arms. I looked back at Song Langsheng without changing my face and said, "Consort, why are you here? What a coincidence."

Song Langsheng smiled slightly, "What do you think?"

At this time, Lu Lingjun had disappeared in a matter of seconds. I laughed and coughed, "I thought you were still discussing with General Huo about the expedition..."

He stared at me for a long time, saw my head drooping, and sighed helplessly: "You, you, I really don't worry about leaving you alone in Zezhou..."

I was overjoyed: "Is that willing to take me to the battlefield?"

"...you want to be beautiful."

I spread my hands and said, "10,000 soldiers are more than enough to defend a city. If you keep 100,000 soldiers, even if 500,000 enemy troops come to attack the city and play wheel battles, it will take ten to eight days at the fastest. The city is taken... Could it be that Nie Guang can produce a new batch of troops out of thin air? Now, Zezhou City is sure to be golden, so you can rest assured."

He took my shoulders and said: "If there is any accident, you will immediately order someone to send you away overnight. I don't want Zezhou to be impregnable, I just want you to be safe."

I shook his arm, "Okay, I promise you, it will be fine, you have to promise me too."

He rubbed my hair and looked down at me, "When I return, I will join hands with you to the end of the world."

When the army set off again, Lu Lingjun and I stood in a row on the city wall and watched from afar. The flags were flying. When Lu Lingjun saw that I was reluctant to part, he couldn't help but ask me why he was obviously reluctant to part with him. Do not stop or stay.

I leaned against the wall and blocked the dazzling sun with my hands, "Sometimes, people can't live for their own selfish desires, can they?"

Ten days later, Zezhou received a military report from the front. Huo Chuan and Song Langsheng each led an army all the way to attack Huguang, and they fought with each other for several days. They broke through the enemy's line of defense and arrived in Guiyang. The two sides fought **** battles for days, and finally defeated the Nie family's army and took back Guizhou, capturing 58,000 enemies. May.

Nie Guang was greedy for a long time, and he fought and retreated. The morale of the anti-rebel army was high, and it was like a broken bamboo.

Lu Lingjun said with a smile: "It seems that the day when the princess and the concubine meet again is imminent."

I should have been overjoyed to hear the good news, but I am still a little uneasy in my heart. Nie Guang is very cunning, is it true that he will not leave behind? For the sake of safety, I ordered Mingjian Division to investigate carefully, but if there is any clue, I will report it, but I don't want to, I really got a terrible information.

An enemy army bypassing the Taihang Mountains is gathering in Lingchuan to form a navy, intending to break through the canal defense line unexpectedly. If they are forced to cross the Yangtze River, the rebels will most likely head towards the capital!

Lu Lingjun asked me with a pale face: "How many sailors does the enemy have?"

I closed my eyes, rubbed my forehead and said, "At least 200,000... But the main army of the 5th and 3,000th battalions have all gone south with Huo Chuan. Even if they were to rush back immediately, the fastest would be ten thousand. Japan...it would be a **** battle just for the Yulin Army and the Huben team in the capital to stop the enemy..."

Lu Lingjun knocked on the table angrily, "Sure enough, he is a sinister! However, Nie Guang is losing to Guiyang, so who is the commander of the rebel navy?"

I sighed and put the secret letter on the table, "Nie Ran."

In the past six months or so, Nie Guang led the army to attack the north again and again, forcing the court to dispatch most of the troops to compete with it. This is Nie Guang's first move. If he can win, it will be great. If he loses in the end, they will at least lead our most elite troops away from the imperial city.

The next step is to let Nie Ran, who has been dormant for a long time, lead the army to attack. They cut off the waterway hub and delay the news. When the capital hears the news, I am afraid that Nie Ran's army is approaching step by step, and then the commanders and envoys It is extremely dangerous for the Secretary to dispatch the local army.

This army is the most important move in the enemy's entire planning round!

The strong wind opened the doors and windows. I walked to the window and looked at the distant mountains. The mountain road was endless, like a long life. I thought about it for a long time and looked back at Lu Lingjun, "The closest place to Lingchuan is Ze The only way to stop Nie Ran now is to stop Huo Chuan's army from going back..."

Lu Lingjun raised his head suddenly, he understood what I said, "Today the north wind is blowing, they can't cross the river... If they travel all night, they should be able to go to Lingchuan before dawn, I will immediately..."

"Brother Lu..." My eyes slowly blurred, "We only have 100,000 soldiers and horses, while the enemy has 200,000... In this case, only the entire army will be wiped out, and there will be no way out..."

"Yeah." He had turned around and held the sword on the table, then knelt down on one knee, "Subordinate, you will not disgrace your mission, take more time for the emperor and the princess, and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop!"

My heart felt like a thousand needles pierced my heart, and I squeezed my fingers tightly, "Ling-Jun Lu, in fact, if you..."

"Princess." Lu Lingjun has stood up again and smiled at me, "You said that people can't always live for their own selfish desires, can't they?"

Really?

I can't answer.

It's just that after Jun Lu Ling led his troops out of the city, I asked myself over and over again, is the life of the king a life, and the life of the 100,000 Xuan Tie Army is not a life? When the soldiers sacrificed their lives to protect the territory of course, did those in the upper ranks sacrifice themselves for the people of the world?

Xiao Qitang ah Xiao Qitang, even you, when you found out about your life, thought of abandoning all responsibilities and lived your own life, what qualifications do you have to blame?

The night was too thick to melt. This night, there were no stars and no moon, and no one in the army could sleep peacefully.

The next day before dawn, there was a continuous sound of bugles outside. It was so abrupt that people couldn't help but be distracted.

When I rushed to the tower in a hurry, the soldiers guarding the city also ran out at the same time. I stood on the city wall and looked out, but I saw a fast horse galloping, far away. Across the moat, he shouted: "The Central Military Camp is exploring Sun Ping! There is a large group of people coming to Zezhou from the direction of Anyang! It seems to be an iron cavalry of the Liang State!"

Someone on the city wall panicked, "The country of Liang? Isn't the country of Liang and us a state of friendship? How could the army of the country of Liang come?"

I stared blankly at the endless mountains in the distance. The dark clouds blocked the sky, the dark shadows approached from afar, and the forced people could not breathe.

If you don't give in, you don't have internal worries, but you must have external troubles.

This time, both internal and external troubles came, but there were very few defenders in Zezhou.
