The night is gloomy and the snow is falling. The church
The old wolf couldn't sleep, so he simply put on his clothes and walked out of the tent. He sat alone by the fire, staring at the blazing flames in a daze.
The night wind blew in, and the flying snow rolled in.
After a while, subtle footsteps suddenly came from behind, making a squeaking sound in the snow.
After hearing the sound, Lao Lang turned his head and saw the military advisor and General Agui coming over. He quickly stood up and saluted: "Military advisor!"
Lu Heng waved his hand, signaling for him to let go. He walked to the fire, found a piece of wood as a cushion, and sat down. He smiled and asked, "Why don't you sleep?"
The old wolf smiled awkwardly and said humbly: "I can't sleep!"
Lu Heng smiled, pointed to where the old wolf was standing and said, "Sit down and talk!"
"Yes!" Old Wolf nodded, with a very nervous expression.
Lu Heng took the water bag handed over by Agui, opened it and took a sip. Then he threw the water bag to the old wolf and raised his chin, indicating that he could have a taste.
The old wolf smiled cautiously, raised his water bag and took a sip.
After waiting for the liquid to enter, the old wolf's eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed the water bag and said in surprise: "Wine?"
"Drinking is not allowed in the army, but this time is a special case!" Lu Heng nodded and said with a smile: "From the time I heard that you became a member of this army, until now, I haven't said a word to you.
.This wine can be regarded as catching the wind for you!"
"Welcome to the Central Army!" Lu Heng laughed, raised his head and took a sip of wine, then handed the wine bag to the old wolf again.
The old wolf took the water bag, took a sip, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, and said gratefully: "Thank you, military advisor, little man!"
Lu Heng smiled and shook his head, pointed at the wooden stake on the ground and said, "Sit down and talk!"
"Yes!" Old Wolf sat down again, still shy and reserved.
"I heard that you are from Dingxiang?" Lu Heng took a sip of strong wine and stuffed the wine bag back into Agui. He stretched out his hand to light the fire, turned around, looked at the old wolf and said, "Where are you from Dingxiang?
"
"Baideng! The little man is in Baideng Mountain!" Old Wolf hurriedly replied. ""
"The place where Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was besieged!" Lu Heng smiled slightly, threw a piece of charcoal into the fire, clapped his hands, and said lightly.
"Yeah!" Old Wolf nodded, then with a touch of sweet memories on his face, he smiled and said: "There is a stone tablet on the hill behind the village. I heard from the old people in the village that it was left from that time!"
After saying this, the old wolf lowered his head, looked gloomy, and sighed in a low voice.
The stone monument is still there, but the village is gone, and the people are gone. After so many years, it is estimated that the villagers buried deep in the loess have long been reduced to a handful of bones.
Why……
Seeing the sad expression on the old wolf's face, Lu Heng reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
The old wolf nodded gratefully and said nothing.
Unknowingly, the sky gradually became brighter.
The snow also stopped, and the wind blew away the remaining clouds in the sky. The stars behind the clouds shone brightly.
The sky in the east has already turned red.
The flames of the fire have gradually extinguished, and the wind is blowing, causing sparks to fly.
After Lu Heng tightened his clothes, he stood up. Before leaving, he turned around, stared at the old wolf and said, "Do you want revenge?"
The old wolf was stunned for a moment, then stood up immediately, nodded excitedly and said: "Yes!"
Lu Heng smiled slightly, stared at him and said, "How much do you want?"
"Day and night!" Old Wolf clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Every moment!".
"Okay!" Lu Heng nodded, stared at the old wolf, then turned and left: "After arriving at Yanmen Pass, you go to the Central Army and I have something to do with you!"
"Yes!" Old Wolf said in a deep voice, stroking his chest with one hand.
…
The next day, the red sun rose in the east. The morning glow filled the eastern sky with red.
It snowed heavily for two days and finally stopped.
The vast mountains are covered in silver. ("") Like giant silver dragons, lying across the vast earth under the blue sky.
In the valley, the horn sounded throughout the military camp, and the army, which had rested for a night, geared up and set off again.
The messengers rode horses and ran back and forth quickly in front of and behind the team, conveying the orders of the Chinese army.
Horse hooves flew and snow flew.
Tens of thousands of troops trampled on the snow, marching steadily along the winding mountain road.
An eagle soared in the blue sky, hovering above the army for a while, then suddenly circled down.
The scout on horseback stretched out his arm to let the goshawk land on it, and then quickly untied the small wooden box tied to the eagle's leg.
"Commander, General, report to the West Route Army!" The scout galloped all the way to the front of the army and said to Lu Heng and Wang Xirang who were chatting.
Lu Heng took the wooden box and opened it, took out the military report and took a look at it. He laughed loudly and handed the general report to Wang Xirang beside him.
"Tell King Huainan that after the Loop is captured, Lu will treat him to a drink!"
"Yes." The scout was stunned for a moment, and then, after seeing the military advisor in a good mood, he nodded happily and rode away.
Next to him, Wang Xirang opened the military newspaper and took a look, and shouted in surprise: "Chang'an City has been captured?"
Lu Heng shook the reins, nodded with a smile and said: "Ning Gong's reputation as the God of War is not for nothing! Once this old man gets angry and his domineering power leaks out, it's not something you or I can imagine, haha!"
Wang Xirang smiled, put away the military report, returned it to the military advisor, and said with a smile: "The general estimates that the military report that you sent to the old prince two days ago, military advisor, played a role!"
"The King of Huainan has a high-minded attitude and a temper that refuses to be accepted by anyone. I guess he was very angry when he saw your military report. Then he didn't wait for Duan Peng and the others and directly launched an attack on Chang'an City!" Wang Xirang smiled and held up his hands.
road.
Wang Xirang found it funny when he thought of the military report Lu Heng sent to the King of Huainan a few days ago after returning from White Horse Temple.
In fact, the military advisor didn't say anything, let alone irritated the old prince.
In the military newspaper, Lu Heng just drew a big question mark with a brush.
At that time, Wang Xirang took the military newspaper and looked at the big ditch on the paper with a confused look on his face.
He asked the military advisor what the hook meant? Can the prince understand it? Lu Heng smiled slightly and told him: "Don't worry, the King of Huainan will definitely know!"
So, the shortest military report in history was sent out.
One day later, Taiyuan Prefecture received a military report from Shaanxi.
The prince's reply was equally simple. The white paper was only written with a brush, vertically and horizontally.
At that time, the generals who had read the military reports were all confused and puzzled by the military reports of these two men.
However, the only two people involved who knew the inside story shook their heads and smiled in silence.
Later, after leaving Taiyuan City, Wang Xirang felt itchy and asked again what the military report meant.
When Lu Heng came to have nothing to do, he smiled and explained: "That symbol means asking. Lu's original intention was to ask the King of Huainan, is that okay?"
"How about the prince's cock?" Wang Xirang couldn't help but asked curiously.
"That's an exclamation mark!" Lu Heng smiled slightly and said, "The prince said, no problem!"
"Then what does the prince mean?" Wang Xirang was still confused, scratching his head and asking in confusion.
"You'll know in two days!"
At that time, Lu Heng blinked at Wang Xirang mysteriously, then picked up the tea and took a sip, smiling silently with an unpredictable expression on his face.
Now, after hearing the good news from the army on the West Route that Chang'an City had been conquered and the army was advancing north, Wang Xirang finally understood the meaning of the strange military report between the military advisor and the prince.
Two symbols can represent each other's meaning. What a perfect understanding!
Wang Xirang shook his horse's reins, and after catching up two steps, he breathed heavily and said to Lu Heng with a smile: "At first, military advisor, you asked Lao Duan not to reinforce Chang'an, but instead to directly cross the Luliang Mountains and advance into the Hetao area. In the end, we will return.
I'm a little confused, but now it seems that the military advisor has confidence in the prince to win!"
Lu Heng smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not that I have confidence in the prince, but Ning Yuangong makes all of us have this confidence! The Great Zhou War God is not in vain!"
Wang Xirang nodded heavily when he heard the words: "Yes, that's the truth. Back then, I admired the prince very much, but it's a pity that I never had the opportunity to meet him. I hope I have a chance this time!"
"There will definitely be one!" Lu Heng laughed loudly, shook the reins vigorously, and galloped forward on his horse.
Behind him, Wang Xirang looked happy. After being stunned for a moment, he saw that the military advisor had gone away. He laughed loudly, shook the reins, shouted, and galloped over.
…
a long distance away.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the earth is covered with snow.
The ancient capital of Chang'an has just experienced the flames of war, but the smoke of war has not yet been extinguished.
The smoke of gunpowder rose from all over the city, reaching into the sky.
A large group of soldiers, armed with spears and steel knives, patrolled back and forth in this city that had just gone through the flames of war.
On the streets and alleys of the city, corpses of rebels lying in the rubble can be seen everywhere.
Soldiers carrying knives dragged the body away in groups. Occasionally they would look at the closed shops next to the street.
After seeing a little girl with braids looking at him in horror in the gap at the door of the shop, the soldiers quickly lined up in a row and blocked the body behind them.
Then with a command, the soldiers all made faces at the little girl.
The little girl was frightened by this group of bad uncles. After being startled, she quickly hid back and closed the door tightly.
"Ha ha!"
When the soldiers saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"What the hell, are you laughing so happily?" After the lieutenant on horseback came over, he saw his soldiers standing in a row and giggled. In anger, he glared and cursed.
The soldiers were scolded and dispersed. Then they turned around and continued carrying the bodies.
"After moving, hurry up and go outside the palace." The lieutenant licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "The prince has set up three large pots outside the palace, saying he wants to cook meat to reward everyone!
"
After hearing the good news, the soldiers were immediately overjoyed and asked Shangguan in surprise: "Really?"
"Is that still false?" Shangguan laughed loudly and rode away.
