"It's a lot to ask for." Liu Zhang looked at the girl. Although the girl was full of lies and was full of lies, she was still very cute. She kept complaining about pain and couldn't really hit her. He said in a deep voice: "Well, you'd better go back.
The wounded soldiers are lying in the camp. If they dare to escape, it will not be as simple as beating the fifth army with a stick."
"I know, I know, little girl knows." The girl patted her bulging chest: "I'm scared to death."
…………
In the Tsing Yi Qiang camp, Gao Ta was wiping his scimitar over and over again. Gao Ta raised the scimitar and the bright blade came into his eyes.
The confidants on the side watched intently. His arm was wrapped with a rag. He was injured during the day's attack on the city. Ma Chao refused to treat the Qingyi Qiang soldiers' injuries on the grounds of insufficient medicinal herbs. There was not even any medicine in the rag.
"Scimitar, scimitar, when will you be able to kill my enemy for me and return the glory to Qiang Yi?" Gao Ta gently stroked the blade of the blade.
After looking at the scimitar for a long time, Gao Ta suddenly slashed the table with the knife. With an angry look on his face, the blade cut open the coffee table and was exposed from under the table. Gao Ta said bitterly: "That's a lot. Let's start with Ling Qiang and Ma."
The troops of Xiliang all deserve to die, I will make you pay with blood."
"Quietly, softly, leader." The confidant said hurriedly. Although he now hates the Xianling Qiang and the Ma family's Xiliang Army, the situation is stronger than the people. There are thousands of Qingyi Qiang people in the district, and the family is still controlled by the Xianling Qiang.
What's more, the mighty general Ma Chao led the army and was unable to resist.
"Leader, keep your voice down. It would be terrible if there are so many cronies who hear it. We should wait until we return to the Qiang tribe, rescue the monk, and then we can seek revenge with the leader of Xi Fengchi and the Baima Qiang people."
"It's easier said than done." Gaota sighed, the Tsing Yi Qiang had already been torn apart, and they were ruled by puppets. Even if the people of Xifengchi and Baima Qiang combined, they were not enough to be one-fifth of the Xian Ling Qiang.
What's more, even if Qingyi Qiang is dissatisfied, who dares to resist Ma Chao easily?
At this moment, a Qiang soldier came to report: "Chief, an old friend is here to visit."
"Old friend?" Gao Ta asked doubtfully: "Our Shatuo tribe is either controlled by Xianling Qiang. Or we are in the camp. Where can we find our old friend?"
"Leader, take a look and then talk." The confidant said.
"Forget it, call in."
Hu Che'er walked in from the outside. As soon as Gaota saw Hu Che'er's pointed head, his eyes opened immediately and he was overjoyed. He laughed loudly and said: "Che'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you here? You're not
Are you working as an official for the Han people?"
The gloom of the tower was swept away, and he put down his scimitar. He strode up to Hu Che'er and slapped Hu Che'er hard: "I heard that you have become the captain of the Han army. You are doing well."
"Oh, be gentle, your whole body is bruised." Hu Che'er gritted his teeth and glared at Gaota.
Gao Ta tore off Hu Che'er's clothes, and there were indeed scars inside. He said angrily: "But Liu Zhang knew you were a Qiang, so he kicked you out and beat you up? Humph, when Yangping Pass is captured, brother
I will take revenge on you."
"Fart, you've got the wrong target for revenge, haven't you? Ling Qiang and Ma Chao are Qing Yi Qiang's enemies first. I'm here to avenge Qing Yi Qiang this time. Also, I am a general now. My salary is eight hundred shi.
Moreover, he is a trusted general of the Marquis of Shu, not a captain." Hu Cheer said proudly.
"Look at how I dragged you." After finishing speaking, Gao Ta frowned and said, "Brother Che'er, do you also know about this?"
Hu Che'er walked to the desk and sat down. He pulled out the machete and played with it, as if he was recalling the days in the grassland. He said to Gaota: "Then who doesn't know? Xianling Qiang pretended to be Wu Ban and assassinated
He killed the old leader just to dominate the thirteen tribes of Xiqiang. Who doesn’t know this?
This time I am serving the orders of Shu, and I have come to invite you and my Qingyi Qiang warriors. When the Sichuan army attacked the Xiliang army, we took the opportunity to attack and kill the Xianling Qiang, so as to restore the glory of our Qingyi Qiang.
"
Hu Che'er spoke impassionedly, and Gao Ta said: "Brothers Emotional Che'er are here to lobby for Liu Zhang."
"Lobbyist? Am I a lobbyist?" Hu Che'er looked at Gaota in confusion. How could he still have a relationship with a lobbyist in his life? It's incredible.
"Not a lobbyist?"
"A lobbyist?"
"Isn't it?"
"Oh, that's it." Hu Che'er yelled, patted his head and said, "Whether you are a lobbyist or not, just ask my brother, do you want to do this?"
"Leader." The confidant said to Gaota: "No matter what, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Sichuan army has more than 50,000 people. If we join, there will be 60,000, while the Xiliang army will become 60,000, and the number will be basically the same.
, we launched a temporary attack again, and the winning rate is very high."
"Can the Xiliang Army's 60,000 people be measured against the Sichuan Army's 60,000 people?" Gao Ta scolded.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Hu Che'er stood up and said angrily: "You are looking down on our Sichuan Army by saying this? I tell you, this time we go to Xiliang, Xiliang will be defeated."
"Brother Che'er, I don't mean to slander you Sichuan Army, I'm just discussing the matter. It's not like you didn't see the last battle. The Sichuan Army's tens of thousands of people's formation was completely defeated before it lasted for an hour. How can I believe you?
?”
"You...Okay, since you look down on me so much, break up our relationship." Hu Che'er said angrily.
"Don't, don't, don't." The confidant hurriedly advised Hu Che'er, and then said to Gaota: "But chief, even if the Sichuan army can't defeat the Xiliang army..." The confidant stared when he saw Hu Che'er, and then said: "Back off.
At ten thousand steps, if the Sichuan army really cannot defeat the Xiliang army.
But the Sichuan army has 50,000 men, which is much more than the Xifengchi and Baima Qiang. If we return to the grassland and are under the surveillance of the Xianling Qiang, it will be even more difficult to take revenge. In any case, it is worth a try."
The confidant looked at the tower expectantly. The tower pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said: "No, you can't fight back."
"Gaota, do you want to recognize a thief as your father? I call you my eldest brother in vain. You are so shameless and obscene, without knowing the difference between good and evil, and forgetting about your origins. Okay, we'll see you on the battlefield."
Hu Che'er said that he was about to leave, but his cronies quickly stopped him and said repeatedly: "Brother Che'er, can you act like a lobbyist? How can a lobbyist give up and leave if he doesn't get along with you?"
He asked the tower anxiously: "Chief, why?"
Gao Ta said to his confidant: "You are right. Cooperating with the Sichuan Army does have a better chance of winning than cooperating with the Xifengchi Baima Qiang, but have you ever thought about it, our ranch, horse farm, and the whole family are all under surveillance by the Xianling Qiang.
If we rebel here, even if we defeat the Xiliang army, what will happen to our grassland? If the grassland is gone, what's the use of our victory?"
The confidant suddenly became serious.
"I said high tower. Are you willing or not?" Hu Che'er asked impatiently.
"Are there any lobbyists as pushy as you?" Gao Ta looked at Hu Che'er's anger with a solemn expression. On one hand, he had a golden opportunity for revenge, and on the other hand, he was concerned about the safety of his relatives on the grassland. Gao Ta really couldn't make up his mind.
Chengdu.
Huang Yue was wearing light yellow clothes and writing something in front of the desk. The maid He Hua was teasing Liu Kang on the bed.
"Come, grab, grab." He Hua handed a pen to Liu Kang's hand. Liu Kang grabbed it in his hand, and then handed it a wooden dagger. "Catch, grab." Liu Kang grabbed another one in his hand, and He Hua
He immediately laughed happily.
"Madam, madam, you see, the young master has an ink pen in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. He governs both civil and military affairs. He is a wise master."
Huang Yue turned around and said to Hehua: "Hehua, how many times have I told you, wait until the lord comes back and let Kang'er do the half-year-old ceremony, and..."
Huang Yue said to He Hua seriously: "Do you know that it is a capital crime to discuss the throne in vain? Mr. Xun is the eldest son, and Kang'er is the younger brother. I will spare you today. If I hear anything about civil and military governance from you again in the future,
.With the words of a wise master, I will directly punish your sins."
"Oh." He Hua agreed: "I just want to let the young master get acquainted with him so that I can catch him and make the adults happy. He Hua will never dare to speak nonsense again."
Huang Yue nodded. His hand was filled with a piece of paper. He gently put down the pen and picked it up with both hands to read line by line.
"It's just." Hehua said again: "The military report from the front came back, saying that the master suffered a huge defeat as soon as he went to the front line this time. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back soon. Can he make it in time for the half-year-old gift of the young master?"
Huang Yue's face became lonely. She also knew about the military report and was worried about Liu Zhang's safety. However, as a woman, she really shouldn't talk nonsense about military affairs. "If you can't catch up, we won't do it. Let's wait until we are one year old."
As Huang Yue spoke, she opened the gauze cover, handed the letter in her hand to the oil lamp, lit it and burned it little by little. Hehua said: "Madam, you write letters to the Lord every day, but you don't send them out. What's the use of it?"
"Your Majesty didn't say that Madam can't write letters to Your Majesty. Wouldn't it be better if Madam writes the letter and asks the sergeant to take it over?"
Huang Yue put the lit letter into the porcelain plate, sighed quietly, and did not answer. Under the gauze lamp, he began to write again. This was the only thing he could do every night after Liu Zhang left. In the past, Liu Zhang went to Jingzhou, and he
I also want to write a letter, but I don’t know in what name.
Isn't it a blessing to be able to write letters openly now?
Jiange Pass.
After Liu Zhang left, the barbarian troops arrived in batches. Xiao Furong and Baoer accepted the barbarian troops into the pass and followed Liu Zhang's instructions without making any announcement.
In order to keep it secret, the barbarian army could not train, so they were led by the flower children Shamoko and Bao'er in the mountains. Xiao Furong was left alone, wandering around the Jiange town with Mulberry Ye, her face a little lonely.
A woman with a big belly walked up the street and caught Xiao Furong's attention. Xiao Furong touched her belly with a depressed expression. Sang Ye said: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Furong shook her head, "It's nothing." The big-bellied woman walked past Xiao Furong, and proudly touched her belly and glanced at Xiao Furong. Xiao Furong was so angry that she stamped her feet fiercely, and Sang Ye pursed her lips and smiled.
At this time, the two of them wandered in front of a fortune-telling stall. The fortune-teller was a one-eyed dragon. It was unclear whether he was really alone or fake. Anyway, he was wearing a black eye patch that was slung over his body.
"Hey, girl, tell me your fortune." The one-eyed dragon greeted him warmly. Looking at Xiao Furong, who was bitter and resentful, she looked like she was being taken advantage of. As long as she said a few nice words, she wouldn't get a lot of money?
Xiao Furong didn't even look at the one-eyed dragon and said angrily: "It doesn't count."
"Girl, your hall is dark." The one-eyed dragon did not give up.
"You just have a black head." Xiao Furong looked at the one-eyed dragon and was furious. The one-eyed dragon chuckled, made an incomprehensible gesture, and said to Xiao Furong: "Hey, the girl's head is black, and she doesn't know it yet. If there is no guidance from this great immortal,
I'm afraid that disaster is coming soon. If you have the guidance of this great immortal, you can turn the danger into safety and become rich and wealthy."
The one-eyed dragon held a paper fan and turned his head proudly.
"What do you want to tell me?" Xiao Furong said coldly.
"Girl, there is a black air on your face, which means there is an evil star coming. You cannot go west within twenty days, otherwise you will encounter an enemy that will haunt you for life."
"Why do I want to go west?"
The one-eyed dragon shook his head: "Young people are persistent, but it doesn't matter. I have a pill here, which is only worth two hundred dollars. As long as the girl takes it, even if the girl goes west, everything will be fine, and the palm print is the best in the world.
The rare phoenix pattern, the shimmering forehead, and the red bird and two stars guarding her, are the signs of the mother's honor in the world, and the girl is the queen's destiny."
Xiao Furong was fine when she heard the first few sentences, but she was a little impatient. When she heard the last two sentences, she suddenly remembered the fortune-telling thing in Chengdu and became furious. She snatched the pill from Cyclops' hand and threw it on Cyclops' face.
Kicked over the one-eyed dragon's fortune-telling stall.
He picked up the cloth coat next to him and hit the one-eyed dragon. While hitting him, he said: "I want you to talk nonsense, and I want you to be the queen. I am still a concubine now, and I don't even have a son. If I want you to talk nonsense, I want you."
Nonsense."
The one-eyed dragon was beaten until he was crawling all over the ground, begging loudly for mercy. Sang Ye looked at Xiao Furong with bulging cheeks, laughing and pulling at Xiao Furong.
"Alright ma'am, one dozen is enough."
At this time, a soldier in plain clothes came over and said to Xiao Furong: "Madam, my lord's military order has arrived at the sword pavilion."
Xiao Furong nodded, angrily smashed the cloth coat on the one-eyed dragon, turned and left, surrounded by a large group of people watching the fun, Sang Ye shouted to the people around him: "Folks, please don't believe this blind man's nonsense in the future. In the first half of this year
My wife is pregnant. He said she would give birth to a boy, but unexpectedly she gave birth to a girl, which made my wife disliked by her husband. Don’t be fooled."
After Sang Ye finished speaking, he followed Xiao Furong. A group of people looked at the one-eyed dragon with a look of injustice on their faces. An aunt was surprised and said: "Ha, no wonder the last time I asked him for divination and asked whether my son passed the four imperial examinations, he said
You tried to go west, but my son went west for half a month and is still working at home, you big liar."
"Hit him."
"Hit him."
A group of people attacked the one-eyed dragon.
"Madam, my lord's military order is to have my wife lead all the Wuxi troops to pass through Tazhong. Within five days, they will go straight to the wooden platform, Guan Tielong and other key checkpoints, cut off the Xiliang army's retreat, and set up tight defenses."
"Five days?" Xiao Furong frowned and said in a deep voice, "I know."
After the soldiers retreated, Xiao Furong drew her sword and thrust it back with a "swish" sound. With worry on her face, Sang Ye said, "Madam, are you afraid that you won't be able to arrive on time?"
Xiao Furong said: "Five days is a bit tight, but with the speed at which Wuxi people climb mountains and ridges, it can be done. I will follow your husband's orders and do my best. There is nothing to worry about."
Xiao Furong said, suddenly turned to Sang Ye and said: "Sister Sang Ye, do you think there is something wrong with me?"
Xiao Furong frowned and asked seriously. Sang Ye smiled. She had never heard of anyone saying that she had something wrong.
"How could Madam have such thoughts?"
"Isn't it?" Xiao Furong turned around and said with a blushing face: "I have been following my husband for two years, almost all the time, always together. Sister Yue was born just a month ago, and I still haven't...like this, I am
Isn’t there something really wrong?”
After Xiao Furong finished speaking hesitantly, she looked at the mulberry leaves with her dark eyes.
Sang Ye knew what Xiao Furong was thinking and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, this kind of thing will happen when it should happen."
"Really?" Xiao Furong glanced at Sang Ye distrustfully.
…
At Yangping Pass, the Xiliang army attacked the city on the fourteenth day. Liu Zhang stepped onto the city, this time taking the girl from the Western Regions with him.
Liu Zhang did not believe that she could defeat the enemy, but the girl said that she could quickly treat wounds and brought two bottles of medicine that could quickly treat wounds to help the Sichuan army.
This medicine is produced from a plant in the Western Regions. It can quickly coagulate and stop bleeding in relatively shallow wounds and restore combat effectiveness. It is suitable for minor injuries and can also delay serious injuries. It is said that the girl's father, Hu Shang, sold it and the girl used this medicine.
Only after being seriously injured, he escaped from Guanzhong to Hanzhong and survived.
Liu Zhang asked her to conduct an experiment on a wounded soldier, and the curative effect was miraculous. Liu Zhang then allowed the girl to go to the city. Once on the city wall, the girl did not seem to feel the pressure of the Xiliang army in front of her.
If you haven’t heard of it, you’ll be cheering on the city wall.
"Wow, your city wall is so high. You can build three or four of our walls here."
"Wow, your spears look so sharp. We all use bronze, but we also have some swords that are sharper than yours. They can break hair when blown."
"Woo, woo." The melodious horn sounded, and the Xiliang army began to attack. Tens of thousands of horse hooves trampled the earth, and everything trembled.
"Wow, you have so many people in every battle. You are so impressive. If any country in our Western Region has so many people, it will definitely dominate."
"Wow, look, your arrows shoot very high, but they are not as far as the hard bows we bought from Anxi. Wow..."
"Have you had enough? Are you done yet?" Liu Zhang felt for the first time what it means to be really verbose. According to research by scientists, the brain structure of chatty people is indeed different from that of ordinary people. The nerves are mismatched. To put it simply, they are short-circuited in the brain.
This girl from the Western Region has a typical brain short circuit.
"Aren't you helping me defeat the enemy? Hey, take a sword and kill the enemy. Don't bother others here." Liu Zhang asked the soldier to hand the girl a sword. The girl was unhappy and grabbed the swords one by one and looked at them.
, pouted aggrievedly and said: "I can't fight, and I'm still injured. I was killed by the enemy as soon as I went up, so I won't go."
"Someone, take her to the Tibetan Soldier Cave."
Seeing the Xiliang army attacking the city, Liu Zhang became impatient. He frowned and observed the enemy's situation. Just like yesterday, the Xiliang army piled up earth in front of the pass, and then the army rushed towards Yangping Pass to fight.
Ma Chao reined up his horse and came out, and said loudly to the Xiliang general behind him: "You all have listened carefully and prepare to charge. Our Xiliang army will break through Yangping Pass today."
