then Li Sao

Soon after the King of Yue set off for the expedition, the people sent by King Ning proposed to send a supervising army to assist Zhou Tang.

Speaking of this, they naturally wanted to recommend their own people, but this was strongly opposed by Deputy Envoy Luo.

"The people have already gone far. If you send the supervising army to chase after you at this time, you will inevitably be suspicious of the general. Of course, it is really not reassuring for King Yue to go out for the first time. It is understandable to send someone to take care of him. But even if you want to send a team King Ning shouldn’t be the one to choose the position of the supervisor, but His Majesty should name it. I’m afraid it’s against the rules for Yue Zu to do it for him.”

Luo Ping opened his mouth sharply, took one step back and one hundred steps forward, forcing King Ning to be speechless.

This time King Yue returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Although he stayed for a short time, King Ning also noticed his drastic changes.They were deeply disturbed that a willful and weak child would suddenly grow into such a remarkable man where they could not see it.

Now the fourth and fifth princes are in a safe place, not involved in government affairs, the sixth prince is forbidden to be a hostage, and the third prince is forced to guard the mausoleum. The second prince originally thought that he only needs to deal with the little nephew at ease, but unexpectedly, a king of Yue was killed halfway, which made him feel like a stick in his throat.

However, his plan to place his eyeliner around King Yue was also killed by Luo Ping.

——everything goes wrong.

In the end, the little emperor hand-picked a Xiaoqi Lieutenant to go to Mozhou with a letter of appointment.

When he retreated from the court, King Ning glanced at Luo Ping with a gloomy expression.

Luo Ping bowed and saluted, and sent him out of the gate of Zhenyang Hall in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

desert state.school grounds.

Chi Ting is conducting formation training with the Nanshan Army who just transferred from Yuezhou.

The Nanshan Army was formally organized after the little emperor's approval. At present, these 1000 people are classified as the vanguard of the Dingbei Army. Together with the original Dingbei Army, they are under the jurisdiction of the King of Yue, the current General Dingbei.

Fang Jin came out of Dingbei General's Mansion and went all the way to the school grounds to find his prince.

Asked Chi Ting, Chi Ting pointed to the shooting range.

Fang Jin went to take a look, and saw that the king of Yue was naked except for his outer robe. The sweat on his body was dripping under the scorching sun, and the muscles on his arms were tense.

With a bang, the arrow flew out through the air, but it was not the target in the field, but Gao Tian in the south.

Fang Jin closed his fan and said with a smile: "You are dressed in green clouds and white clothes, and you shoot the sky wolf with a long arrow. The prince is in good shape, but the arrow is tall and far away. If it hits innocent people, the prince will be in trouble."

The King of Yue snorted coldly: "Where are the innocent people here in the Gobi Thousand Miles?"

"Could it be that the prince wants to falcon?"

The king of Yue didn't answer, but took his bow and arrow and went back to the mansion.

Looking at his straight back, Fang Jin shook his head and smiled: "No matter how strong your arm is, this arrow can't go back to Mocheng, and it can't hit that person's heart."

The King of Yue took two steps, then turned his head and said, "There is a military division of Lao Fang who brought back my arrow."

Fang Jin sighed secretly, this master would find someone to vent his anger on.

Following the trajectory of the arrow, Fang Jin walked several hundred meters to the south. When he saw what he saw clearly, he couldn't help being stunned.

A big yellow-spotted snake was nailed to a decaying old tree, its tail struggled and twisted, and the arrow feather it twisted was the one shot by King Yue.

When did this kid become so powerful?

Fang Jin sighed, and threw the yellow-spotted snake to the Dingbei army's fireman: "The prince hunted it, and I will make it up for everyone."

As the meal approached, the soldiers wailed with excitement when they smelled the scent of snake meat.

The guard brought a bowl of snake soup to King Yue, but was startled by King Yue's cold eyes.

People asked what happened.

He replied: "My lord said he hates snakes the most, and he doesn't even want to see them."

So everyone scrambled to share the bowl of snake soup.

The noisy voices outside the tent did not interrupt Zhou Tang's thoughts at all.

Facing an old ebony bow on the wall, he remained silent the whole time, wondering what he was thinking.

Fang Jin came to ask: "Isn't your lord going back to the mansion today? How can this camp be as comfortable as a general's mansion?"

Zhou Tang waved his hand: "I live there alone, what's the point?"

Fang Jin was speechless, did the Prince of Dare never treat him as a human being?

Samsam quit the tent, and heard Yue Wang muttering in a daze: "I can't live a day without him..."

Fang Jin shook his head and sighed: "My lord, there is no one who can't live without him."

Mu Quan, Mu Quan, do you know that this kid will be much harder to serve without you.

"The first emperor really predicted everything like a god." Luo Ping sighed deeply after reading the list of congratulations presented by the ceremonial officer.

"Yes, many things have been well arranged for the community that Grandpa Huang handed over to me."

The first emperor knew that after his death, Beiling would inevitably be restless, so he left a will for the emperor's grandson early on, and the troops on the border of Mozhou were also properly deployed, just waiting for the formal declaration of war with Beiling.

Sure enough, in the congratulatory gift for the new emperor's ascension to the throne, Beiling showed his attitude.Xizhao and Nanlai sent congratulatory gifts as usual. In the past, although Beiling reduced the tribute year by year, it was still on the table, but this time...

The only thing that came with the Beiling envoy was an iron box weighing more than ten catties, and what was locked inside was the letter of war written by King Mengsuda of Beiling.

The little emperor replied awe-inspiringly: "If you want to fight, I promise to accompany you to the end!"

After the envoy was sent back, the little emperor immediately ordered the king of Yue to prepare for the battle. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers of Mozhou, Lizhou, and Qiongzhou to obey the king of Yue. Offend Dacheng Tianwei!

Seeing that the imperial decree was drawn up, Luo Ping felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Now the total number of soldiers in those three states is 20, which is equivalent to one-third of the entire military force. Zhou Tang's military power is a bargaining chip to flex his muscles.

The little emperor put down the vermilion pen, and said with concern: "Luo Qing, I see that your brows are deeply furrowed, is there any trouble?"

Luo Ping bowed: "I have something to ask Your Majesty."

The little emperor laughed: "There are no outsiders here, so Aiqing just tell me what's going on."

"My minister begged the emperor to melt the iron box in which Beiling's war letter was placed."

"Huh? Iron box? What happened to the iron box?"

"Your Majesty, the iron box was forged by Beiling Han Xuantie. Beiling used it to send the letter of challenge to show its strong military strength and well-equipped. The way of man also heals his body."

"What does Luo Qing mean?"

"Melted it, recast it into a sharp sword, and presented it to General Dingbei as a token of divine grace. Order the general to kill Beiling King Mengsuda with this sword, and walk the way of heaven on behalf of the Son of Heaven."

"Okay! Luo Qing's words really please me! Let's do this, and I will let the best craftsmen make this sword immediately!"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Luo Ping felt that he was becoming more and more like a courtier, just like back then.

After the supervisor met the king of Yue, he received a very high courtesy.

The King of Yue personally took him to inspect the military training, took him to visit the barracks, respected his opinions, and let him supervise a small battle in which the Dingbei Army defeated the Beiling Rangers.

In this battle, the Dingbei Army reacted quickly and dispatched reasonably, and captured most of the rangers in a very short period of time, which made the supervising army very satisfied, and praised the King of Yue in his report to the little emperor.

On that day, the emperor's imperial edict was delivered, and after receiving the edict, Zhou Tang was handed over a three-foot long sword.

The whole body of this sword is silvery white, the blade is as bright as the cold air, the iron cuts like mud, the fracture is neat, it is a rare magic weapon.

Zhou Tang recognized it immediately: "Han Xuantie?"

The herald said: "The general has a good eye. This sword is made of Beilinghan Xuantie. The emperor entrusted it to the general. I hope the general will use it to kill all the northern invaders and live up to the emperor's grace."

"That's natural." Zhou Tang admired the sword, quite pleased, "I wonder what name the emperor bestowed on this sword?"

"The name was not chosen by the emperor." The herald said bluntly, "Because it was Lord Luo's suggestion, the emperor asked Lord Luo to name this sword, and Lord Luo named it 'Cunxue'."

Zhou Tang's hand stroking the sword paused, and quickly covered it up, only responding: "Oh."

After the herald left, the supervising army looked at Cun Xuejian very enviously: "Master Luo is a civil servant, but he is very concerned about the war in Beiling. In order to let the general deal with the enemy with peace of mind, it is he who tried his best to let the subordinates fight against the enemy. Replaced King Ning's confidant."

Zhou Tang raised his eyebrows: "My lord speaks like this, it seems inappropriate."

The superintendent said calmly: "The subordinate respects the general and trusts the general very much. There is no need to hide some things. The faction of King Ning in the court really hopes that the general will die in battle. If Master Luo did not come forward to fight for it, the prisoner who came at this time Army, I'm afraid it can annoy the general to death."

"Really." Zhou Tang was noncommittal.Is it for him?Or is it for his official career with the little emperor?

"Hey, it's just that Lord Luo is too sharp, and I'm a little worried that he will be punished by King Ning. The general doesn't know, but now King Ning regards Lord Luo as a thorn in his side."

Zhou Tang swallowed the sentence "what right do you have to worry about him", and walked into the coach's tent with a gloomy face.

After discussing the sneak attack and declaration of war with Fang Jin and others, it was almost the second watch.

When Zhou Tang returned to his tent, Cunxue came out of the sheath with a choke, and chopped off a desk.

Still angry, he threw the sword viciously on the ground, and without looking at it, he lay down on the step and fell asleep with his head covered.

Sleep until midnight and wake up again.

The silver light flickered on the ground.

Zhou Tang walked over as if sleepwalking, picked up the sword and put it in his arms, rubbing it repeatedly.

——Green clothes drag the Kunlun inch by inch of snow...Little master, I know the meaning of this poem!

--tell me the story.

The young man tugged at his own clothes, and then grabbed the man's sleeves: "I am Qingshang, and my master is Cunxue. As long as the two of us are together, we can turn the world upside down!"

The man didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you doing? What a mess. This poem was written by Emperor Taizu during the Northern Expedition. At that time, Emperor Taizu led his troops to Kunlun in the northwest. At night, he dreamed that the Goddess of Kunlun came here wearing green clothes and stepping on the snow..."

It was night, King Yue shared the pillow with Cunxue, and fell asleep lightly.

At dawn, Zhou Tang woke up suddenly when he heard a commotion outside the tent.

The spies came to report: "General, the northern bandits invaded the border in the middle of the night. One thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry attacked Bianyue Pass. The guards of Bianyue lost [-] soldiers and asked our army for reinforcements!"

The overseer said anxiously: "How could it be so fast!"

Fang Jin said: "Beiling's horses marched very fast, and they quietly approached thirty miles in one night. It seems that they are bound to win this time."

"Then let's mobilize our troops!"

"No, General..."

Zhou Tang raised his hand to stop their argument, and ordered decisively: "Abandon Bianyue and retreat to guard Yelang!"

"General?!"

The supervisor was very surprised, but Fang Jin smiled.

Zhou Tang sneered and said, "So what if they have a checkpoint? Since they want to play a sneak attack, I will have fun with them! Give me two thousand tigers! I will let them in, but not out!"

General Secretary.

A single lamp was still on.

The person under the lamp is writing with a pen, as if he has finished a manuscript, and the end of the pen is like flowing water, talking eloquently——

In the first year of Anshi, Beiling invaded.

The Bianyue Pass was attacked by the enemy at night, and the king of Yue entered the desert alone with the Tianzi sword, entered the enemy's rear, and quickly counterattacked.

The fire burned Bianyue Pass, the city wall was smoked to black, and the northern and central Guanzhong were trapped.

The King of Yue killed Gu Ali, the general of the northern bandits, handed over 110 and five horses, and lost more than [-] enemy troops.

The first battle was won.

Of course...

Luo Ping silently wrote "Chengtian Tongjian" and stopped here.

He has unreasonable knots.In this life, there will always be variables.

After thinking about it, he burned the paper on the candle.
