[Sword Three] The general will return or not

Li Huaiyuan was still very nervous about going to see Li Wangsheng tomorrow, if Li Wangsheng disagreed, he didn't know if Ling Yan would go with him.

It was night, Li Huaiyuan hugged the lamb and asked about Li Wangsheng's likes and dislikes, but Ling Yan didn't know the difference between men and women, and only said that Master would not refuse.

Naturally, Li Huaiyuan couldn't tell him that love between men was against human relations, so he could only abandon the idea of ​​finding a breakthrough from Xiao Yang.

Seeing that Li Huaiyuan was preoccupied, Ling Yan stretched his arms around his neck, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Why don't we go to the master, the master likes you very much, as long as the master agrees, the master will definitely not object."

Li Huaiyuan was stunned, and asked, "When did Lu Zu meet me?"

Ling Yan blinked, "Have you forgotten, that day when I went to Feiyu pond with you to feed the Taihua tortoise, the master was beside me, and the master praised you when you entered the water."

The corner of Li Huaiyuan's mouth twitched, "Is that the old man who bullied the turtle with you?"

Ling Yan rubbed Li Huaiyuan's chest guiltily, "It's...not bullying."

That day, the grandparent and grandson used Qinfang pills to lure the Taihua turtle out of the pool, and then used Jasper and Poria cocos to make the little tortoise turn around. Finally, the old man dropped a bottle of Qinfang pills into the pool by mistake.

Ling Yan wanted to go into the water to fish, but the water in the non-fish pond was icy cold, and the bottom could not be seen from above. Li Huaiyuan was not willing to let his sweetheart go down, so he immediately stopped Ling Yan, and dived into the pond to search for it. The view from the bottom of the pond was extremely poor, and Li Huaiyuan searched for a long time. I just touched the pill bottle, and when it came up, I was half frozen to death.

Ling Yan told Li Huaiyuan with a smile: "Master said you are a good person." You were just a little stupid.

Li Huaiyuan: "...Oh."

The two discussed for a long time, and decided to report to Li Wangsheng first, and if Li Wangsheng refused, then go to Lu Dongbin, Ling Yan patted his chest and promised that Lu Zu would definitely agree.

After making a plan, Li Huaiyuan saw Ling Yan leaning in his arms, dozing off little by little, knowing that he had exhausted his energy participating in the sacrifice today, and now he was exhausted, so he made the bed and went to bed early with Ling Yan.

-

When he was approaching Chou, there was a sudden knock on the door outside Ling Yan's room. Even in his sleep, Li Huaiyuan was always alert to his surroundings.

Outside the door was a Tiance soldier who sent a message. When he saw Li Huaiyuan, he knelt down and reported loudly: "Report to General..."

"Shhh!" The messenger's voice was very loud, Li Huaiyuan was afraid of disturbing Ling Yan, so he hurriedly signaled him to keep silent, but when he looked back, he found that the lamb had been woken up, rubbing his eyes and looking at the door in a daze.

Li Huaiyuan said a few words of comfort, and led the messenger soldiers to stand still in the courtyard. The soldiers were shocked by the scene just now and opened their mouths. It took a long time for them to recover their words, and continued to report: "General Qi, the Uighurs suddenly gathered soldiers to invade our Tang Dynasty. Commander Li has already led the army to go out, and ordered the general to set off for Yanmen Pass immediately, and Commander Li will meet you at Yanmen Pass."

Li Huaiyuan took the letter from Director Li with a frown, glanced at it roughly, and found that it was no different from what the soldier who sent the letter said. At the end of the letter was the military seal that would only be stamped when the Tiance Government issued an emergency military order. It seemed that the situation was urgent and there was no delay. room for.

Li Huaiyuan sent away the messenger soldiers and was about to go back to pack up his things. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ling Yan standing by the door wearing a thin coat with a pale face. He obviously heard the conversation just now, "Is the general leaving?"

Li Huaiyuan felt like he was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say any comforting words, he could only nod his head, "Yes, the military situation is urgent, I must leave immediately."

"I see..." Ling Yan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something else, but finally chose to remain silent, and turned around to help Li Huaiyuan pack things silently.

The two of them were relatively speechless, and silently packed up their things. Li Huaiyuan hugged Jiyou who was still asleep, and said to Ling Yan: "I will take Jiyou away, and let Feng Ting accompany you for me when I'm not around." .”

Ling Yan nodded, without saying a word, Li Huaiyuan pretended to be relaxed and continued, "Perhaps in two months, the general will return with a big victory, obediently wait in Chunyang for me to come back to marry you."

"When the general is not around, the Daoist can't... um..." Before he finished speaking, Ling Yan suddenly stood on tiptoe, raised his head and kissed Li Huaiyuan's lips, his soft tongue wandered between his lips and teeth, and finally found a trace Gap, drilled in.

This is the second time Ling Yan kissed Li Huaiyuan on his own initiative, different from the one-touch kiss that day, this time the kiss was young but lingering, with the attachment and reluctance of separation.

"One day, if the Taoist leader falls in love with this general, he can naturally kiss me at will." Ling Yan always remembered the casual joke that day.

After Li Huaiyuan left, Ling Yan stumbled back to the house, picked up the tortoise shell and did a divination, but the divination was vague, and he could barely see that there was nothing wrong in the near future, and he couldn't calculate it further away.

-

The general fought far away, and no one returned for three years.

Li Huaiyuan did not expect that when he set off for the expedition, the battle would last for three years.In the past three years, the Uighurs of the Tang Dynasty won and lost each other, but they were unable to deal a fatal blow to the enemy. The two sides were at a stalemate near Yanmen Pass and fought a tug-of-war.

The tug-of-war was extremely costly in terms of manpower and material resources, and there were more and more voices of dissatisfaction in the court. Fortunately, the emperor resisted all opinions and fully supported the battle.

Nearly all the food in the surrounding counties had been confiscated, and they could only mobilize food and grass from the farther south of the Yangtze River. Due to the long distance, delays in food and grass often occurred.

Now that the winter moon is approaching, the roads are blocked by heavy snow, the roads are far away in cold weather, and the time for the arrival of military supplies has been delayed again and again. Tiance's soldiers are struggling to eat and clothe themselves. Among them, the forwards led by Li Huaiyuan are the most affected. Troops up.

People in the army were panicked and morale was low. Li Huaiyuan knew the truth that mourning soldiers would be defeated. What he feared most in marching and fighting was not the devouring hunger and cold, but the broken morale of the army.

Li Huaiyuan looked at the sand table and frowned, one of his subordinates proposed to act urgently, instead of plundering the surrounding villages and towns for military supplies, he scolded him and kicked him out of the army tent.

If wanton looting of civilian food, how is their behavior different from that of barbarians?If we lose the support of the people at that time, I am afraid that this battle will be more difficult to fight.But the food of the common people cannot be robbed, but that of the Uighurs can be.

The Uighur general is also a man who is well versed in the use of troops. He kept the food and grass in the rear of the army, and the surrounding terrain is dangerous. The reason for the forage idea.

Li Huaiyuan chose a route where the opponent's defense was relatively weak, and decided to make a quick decision, using the cover of night to catch him by surprise.

When ordering troops on the battlefield, Li Huaiyuan saw that the soldiers were wearing thin armor, and their faces were pale from the cold. His heart was sad, and he ordered all the food in the camp to be made into meals and distributed, and all the forage was fed to the horses. , Fight to the last stand, there is no way out.

The battle flag of Tiance was blown away by the howling wind, and the whole army was in an uproar, "Destroy" the flag!

When encountering gods and killing gods, when encountering Buddhas and killing Buddhas, wherever the Miezi Banner goes, gods and ghosts will be wiped out, jade and rocks will be destroyed, there is no longer any hope of survival, only victory or... death in battle!

As soon as the Miezi flag came out, the morale of the army was great and the crowd was excited, and they attacked the enemy's hinterland with the momentum of breaking bamboo. Anyone who blocked the wolves of the Eastern Capital was torn to pieces.

But the Uighur chief general was not an easy opponent to deal with, so he immediately dispatched troops to encircle Tiance and the others.Tiance soldiers grabbed food and grass, and were slowed down when they came out. Seeing the gap in front of them being filled by Uighurs, they fell into a siege.

Under such circumstances, no amount of tactics would be in vain. The only way to fight is to fight a bloody path with flesh and blood.Li Huaiyuan's eyes were red, and he led the army to fight hard, all those who blocked him became the souls of his guns, and the Uighur soldiers were so frightened that they did not dare to go forward for a while.

At this time, the Uyghurs had only one thought in their minds: crazy, a group of crazy wolves!

But even Li Huaiyuan couldn't fight tens of thousands of enemies with his own strength. Seeing Tiance's soldiers getting closer and closer to the edge of the encirclement, their physical strength became less and less. let go.

Is that all there?The sound of the tiger's roar gradually weakened, Li Huaiyuan supported the ground with his gun, and couldn't help panting. There were dozens of wounds on his body, but he couldn't feel any pain.

It's a pity for the thousands of soldiers buried here with him, it's a pity for his beloved horse Tayan, it's a pity that he will never see again... his lamb.

Li Huaiyuan shouted loudly, and suddenly raised his gun and stabbed forward, taking the life of the opponent's general. The way of fighting is to burn jade and stone, when it grows into the enemy's chest, the surrounding Uighur soldiers have already raised their weapons and stabbed Li Huaiyuan.

Li Huaiyuan closed his eyes and heard the sound of a sharp knife piercing through the armor. After a long time, he didn't feel any pain. Is this the feeling of real death?

Li Huaiyuan slowly opened his eyes, only to see the Uighur soldiers looking at him in horror, the sharp knife passed through his chest, but did not leave any wounds.

Li Huaiyuan swept across with his spear, and swept away the enemy in front of him. He turned around and looked back at his strategists, with a look of astonishment.

There was a long sword stuck at his feet, the long sword was emitting light blue light, the light beam went straight to the sky, with the long sword as the center, the blue light rippled away in circles, protecting all Tiance soldiers.

Zhenshanhe!

Suddenly, there was a howling sound from wolves, which overwhelmed the sound, and there was a commotion in the enemies ahead. Li Huaiyuan looked up and his heart stopped suddenly.

I saw a person wearing a blue and white Taoist robe and carrying a scarlet sky red lotus, walking towards him step by step. Five qi swords swirled around him, and all enemies who approached were killed by the qi sword.

Behind him was a pack of war wolves. The leader, one black and one white, followed him, growling and threatening the Uighur soldiers who tried to step forward.

The originally impenetrable encirclement was torn out a bloody path by the wolves. The man stepped on countless corpses and walked up to Li Huaiyuan.

Although I can't protect the entire Chunyang like Master, but with the sword in my hand, it is still possible to open up a world and protect you and the thousands of soldiers of Tiance Mansion temporarily.

Li Huaiyuan raised the corners of his lips, led Tayan Wuzhi over, carried the man on his horse, waved the Miezi flag in his hand, and led Tiance soldiers to fight bloody battles under the protection of Zhenshanhe.

Ling Yan leaned against Li Huaiyuan's arms with a pale complexion, and passed out the moment he broke out of the encirclement.

-

Brain hole, Li Huaiyuan stationed in the frontier:

Recently, everyone in the barracks is in danger, not daring to make a half-step mistake. If you ask the reason, the Tiance officers and soldiers will tell you that the monthly days of our General Li Huaiyuan have come again.

The frontier was bitterly cold, and it was difficult to get information. Only once a month, the messenger would bring letters from outside, and many relatives of soldiers and soldiers dragged the messenger to bring some things.

For example, last month, the girl from Qixiufang brought a beautifully crafted dress to her sweetheart, and told him to add more clothes as the weather turned cold.

Last month, the girl from Wanhua Valley brought several bottles of high-quality wound medicine to her husband, both for external application and internal use, and told him that if he was injured, he must be treated in time.

This month, the young master of Hidden Sword Villa brought a large bag of gold, silver and jewels to Lao Gong for him to spend as he wished, and told him not to suffer himself when he was away from home.

Although the frontier is bitterly cold and there is no place to spend money, he has no choice but to collect the gold, silver and jewelry with a large pile of belongings he sent before, but at least it is his little Huangji who cares about it.

Every time the messenger officer came, Li Huaiyuan was always the first to rush out, and then returned angrily. If anyone unfortunately provoked him in the next few days, it would basically end badly.
