"Second brother always feels that he hasn't taken care of things for us, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Do you feel any regrets?"
"I'm very happy." Gao Mingyue whispered: "There are a few shortcomings... Didn't I tell you? I want to hear you propose marriage to me by the Erhai Lake. I will make glutinous rice cakes for you. Unfortunately, I still have nothing today...
Do you think my dowry is too small?"
In the last sentence, she asked Li Xia with a rare smile.
"There is still a chance to make more dowry before getting married." Li Xia said, "You can also take care of some business later. It would be good to use the money as dowry."
The two of them were not supposed to meet tonight. But during this period of time, they had become accustomed to staying together and talking about the mountains and terrain every day, and they didn't pay much attention to customs and rules.
This is probably one of the few benefits brought about by the war.
"Actually... I'm engaged to be married to you, and I still feel like it's a dream."
Gao Mingyue gradually became able to speak more to Li Xia, and chatted: "When I first met you in the north, I thought you were... um..."
"What do you think of me?"
"That look makes you look down on all the women in the world."
"That sounds disgusting."
"I don't hate it, I just feel aloof and aloof, and I thought you wouldn't like me... But later, when you told me that you wanted to have many concubines, I realized that you didn't just dislike me, but that you liked me a lot."
"I didn't say 'a lot', did I?"
Gao Mingyue smiled and said, "Can I tease you like this once in a while?"
"Well, it's cold though."
"cold?"
"It means a joke is not funny. How to explain it? Let me tell you one... Liu Bei's horse ran towards the cliff as if it had lost its reins. Zhang Fei shouted, 'Brother, rein in your horse!' So Liu Bei replied
'I'm so happy'..."
Gao Mingyue couldn't help laughing, her eyes were so beautiful.
This is probably her original look, the look she had when she was carefree before the country was destroyed and her family was destroyed.
…
This night, the time the two chatted seemed to fly by very quickly. After Li Xia sent Gao Mingyue back to her tent, she returned and stared at the map and began to meditate again.
He has an idea in mind, but hasn't made a decision yet.
There were two plans weighing in his mind. It was difficult to decide at the moment, but tonight when Gao Mingyue said "proposing marriage to me at the Erhai Lake", he was more inclined to one of the plans.
Li Xia rubbed his head and told himself not to worry about such reasons and to make a more rational judgment.
However, all kinds of rational reasons have been listed in his mind, and he is just waiting for a decision. He can't help but ask himself, what do he want to do about his inner conflict?
When the sky was slightly bright, Li Xia got up and walked out of the camp. He saw nine hundred generals, including Xu Kui, already at the school and preparing to start camp.
They plan to return to Qingfu County today.
Li Xia called Song He, took out a letter and handed it over, saying, "Send a group of people back to Qingfu as soon as possible and give this letter to Mr. Han."
Song He still didn't even ask, just accepted and sent someone to make arrangements.
Li Xia turned around and looked at the Qingfu Army standing in the morning light. There was a thought in his heart that became increasingly hot.
Pass through Dali and take the Lingguan Road to reach Chengdu.
This is the fighting method taught to him by his first opponent and teacher A Shu on the battlefield, sneaking out of the way, outflanking, and surprise attacks...
In Shanchan City, Yang Yuan has led his troops to station here.
He just thought about how to explain Ye Xian's defeat to Duan Shi, but he got news that Duan Shi had rebelled against the Great Mongolia and committed suicide out of fear of crime.
Yang Yuan didn't know how to return to Dali City to face Duan Xingzhi.
Perhaps it was to report to the general manager of Dali, "The demon monk's rebellion has been put down, the invaders have been expelled, and the war has been decided?"
In his heart, the war has indeed been calmed down, and peace has returned to Dali...
April 30th, Momi Qianhu Mansion.
The place where Huimi Qianhu Mansion is located is what Li Xia calls "Qujing", which borders Weining.
The guard on the top of the city closed his eyes and looked at the nearly nine hundred soldiers and horses coming from the north, and shouted loudly: "Who is coming?!"
"The guarding general has also returned from the northern expedition. Open the city gate quickly!"
The guard at the head of the city squinted and saw that the flag signal was indeed the first one. He also saw a rider rushing to the city, holding a golden talisman, and ordered: "Why don't you open the city gate quickly?!"
"Yes, we will open the city soon..."
On the city tower, Momi's leader, now the Mongolian commander Amendi, stuck his head out and shouted: "What's going on?!"
"Maybe the general is back!"
"Very good!"
Amenti shouted, retracted his head, and said to himself: "Damn it, Meng Tartar is here to show his dominance again... No!"
He recalled that according to what Yang Yuan said, General Ye Xian must have been defeated, so why did he come back to lead his troops?
"Give it all to me..."
Before Amenti could finish his words, a scream was heard from the city gate.
Nine hundred soldiers quickly rushed to the city gate, stabbing with spears in their hands, and immediately killed a group of defenders.
…
"prick!"
Yang Ben struggled to thrust out the spear, and blood splashed into his mouth. He spat out with all his strength...
A few days ago, Hong Aliu said that in terms of merit, Yang Ben would definitely be promoted to a high position. If he could make more achievements, he would not necessarily be promoted to a hundred generals.
"Besides, the county captain will definitely need to expand his army, and it is possible to expand it to 1,500 people. I heard from General Xu Bai that General Liu Bai is still recruiting and training troops in Qingfu..."
When Yang Ben heard this, he felt disdainful.
It seems like he really wants to be promoted in Qingfu Army, which is ridiculous.
In fact, what he was thinking was that when Li Xia promoted him to a hundred generals, he would just leave with his seal. It was equivalent to giving Li Xia a slap in the face and telling him, "You don't know how to employ people. You just promoted me now, and I won't serve you anymore."
"
Unexpectedly, Li Xia did not go straight back to Qingfu County, but instead led his troops through Lingguan Road.
This plan was not stated directly, and Li Xia only summoned nine hundred generals to discuss it, and then left Kedu Pass again and headed south. But Yang Ben knew the route as soon as he saw it.
"Surprise attack on Chengdu? It must be a surprise attack on Chengdu! Chengdu will be recaptured this year. Lieutenant Lu has long said that there is no way out for Sichuan and Shu to defend themselves so stubbornly. Only by counterattacking Chengdu and then Hanzhong can the situation be restored..."
He couldn't help but feel trembling at Li Xia's crazy boldness.
"This Li Feiyu is already 80% as good as Liu Wuzhong! Did the Song Dynasty produce another famous general after Liu Wuzhong?"
Yang Ben finally calmed down his excitement.
He told himself that the plan had not yet been completed, and there was no need to praise Li Xia too much. A small county captain who could not even recognize his own generals might just have high vision and low hand...
On the one hand, Yang Ben remained arrogant, but on the other hand, Yang Ben was also very annoyed.
He really got angry every time Li Xia approached those nine country men to discuss matters.
This plan of surprise attack on Chengdu came from these people. He should be allowed to advise the military aircraft.
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Yaben kept thrusting with the spear in his hand.
"puff!"
Another Mo Mi garrison fell. In the blood mist, I saw that the garrison in the city had collapsed and was running madly towards the south gate.
Xiong Shan shouted: "Stop the pursuit! Occupy the city gate, search and treat the wounded immediately..."
Yang Ben wanted to pursue them. In his opinion, if he wanted to pass through Dali and take the Lingguan Road, he would have to hide his whereabouts. How could he let these deserters go?
But he still stopped.
I want to be promoted, I want to be a general...
Li Xia has stood on the top of the city, looking down at this small house of thousands of households.
He also saw Yang Ben. In the recent battles, the spy sent by Jia Sidao and Lu Wende had performed very well.
It can be regarded as a gift from a high-ranking official in the DPRK.
Now that we are dealing with foreign enemies, there is no need to pay too much attention...
After the thought in his mind turned around, Li Xia looked at the fleeing Momi defenders again.
He knew that these deserting troops would spread the news of the Qingfu Army's comeback, but there was no point in stopping them. It was impossible to completely annihilate the enemy on the battlefield forever. Rather than increase casualties and waste food and energy on encirclement, it was better to think of other ways.
This time he returned to Dali, he was more confident than the last time...
