don't fight the general

Spring is cold.

The army is marching southward, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, but spring has not yet fully entered, just like at this moment, even though the sun is shining brightly above the head, you can still feel the bone-chilling cold wind, which really annoyed Yan Jing I couldn't help but tightened the cloak on my body, trying to use it to resist the cold a little bit.

On the other hand, the boy next to him, although he was wearing thinner clothes, did not change his face, and was not affected at all. When he noticed Yan Jing's movements, he couldn't help but glanced at him, and asked in a low voice. He said: "Brother Jing, do you want me to send someone to find another robe for you?"

Yan Jing couldn't help but cast a glance at the boy, at the simple black robe on his body, and said helplessly, "Why don't you add one yourself first?"

Cui Wei tugged at his body casually: "I have been in the northwest for a long time, and I have never seen any severe cold weather. This is enough to wear on my body. But you, Brother Jing, the wind and cold are just right, so you should wear more to save yourself from catching a cold?"

"Ah Wei," Yan Jing couldn't help but said, "I'm really not as weak as you think."

While the two were talking, a young couple in shabby clothes came from the opposite side pushing an equally dilapidated car. When they saw the oncoming mighty army, the expressions on their faces were obviously full of fear, and they immediately He stopped in his tracks and looked around, as if he wanted to find a place to hide, but the official road was only so wide that it was inevitable, almost subconsciously, the young woman stood in front of the carriage , and at the same time, her thin husband also stood in front of him.

The smile on Yan Jing's face faded, his eyes paused a little on the faces of the two, and the hand holding the rein slightly exerted force, deflecting the horse's head slightly, and the direction of the whole horse's travel was deflected inward. Many, and the team that was marching behind him, as if they had received an order, actually moved accordingly, and they just left enough space for a carriage to move forward on the official road, which was not considered wide at all.

Everything was carried out in silence. There were obviously tens of thousands of people walking on this official road, but apart from the sound of horseshoes and footsteps, nothing else could be heard.

The rein in Yan Jing's hand was wrapped a few times on his palm, leaving a circle of red marks. He drove the horse, passing by the two people calmly, looking past the thin bodies of the two people, looking at the car On the dilapidated wooden cart, I saw a white-haired old woman with a baby in her arms who was sleeping soundly without knowing what happened to the outside world.

Yan Jing's eyes darkened, and she subconsciously thought of Yan Jue in Yunzhou City, thousands of miles away, and couldn't help but glance at the milk baby again. She was too able to distinguish the ages of these babies, only seeing that they should be about the same age as Yan Jue, but they looked a little thinner, their small faces were slightly yellow, probably blown by the cold wind in their sleep, and the whole face was wrinkled The ball, even then, looks cute and tight.

Yan Jing lowered her eyes slightly, and suddenly raised her hand to untie the cloak on her body, and threw the cloak on it at the last moment of crossing the wooden cart.But he didn't even look back.

Cui Wei, who was quietly walking beside him, didn't speak, but couldn't help but look back, seeing the old woman pick up the cloak, she was stunned, looked around in a daze, and finally covered the baby in her arms .

"Which group is this today?" Yan Jing asked suddenly, causing Cui Wei to look away, gave him a slightly blank look, and then realized what he was asking, and then replied, "Fourth, or fifth Bar?"

There was no time to wait for the opportunity to fight. After taking Luozhou City, the army only took a short rest before continuing to move south, all the way to the capital.What I saw along the way, apart from the gradual burst of spring, there were also people fleeing with their families, just like the family just now.

If it is not necessary, who would like to stay away from their homeland?How many people in this world will care about how many thousands of miles of rivers and mountains have changed hands in just a few months. What they want is for the family to eat, clothe and live in peace. Wishes are hard to come true at this time.

First, Emperor Yongchu died and Yan Cong took control of the court. He didn't mean to be harsh on purpose, but in order to deal with the ensuing war, he ordered his soldiers to conscript troops everywhere. The people around the capital were miserable, but Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning. Not long after, Chen Qi led the Southwest Army and the South Vietnam Army into the capital.

The Southwest Army may still have some scruples. The Nanyue people who have long coveted the wealth of the Central Plains have not let go of the people around the capital. In their eyes, they have never regarded the people of the Great Wei as the same as themselves, and they will intensify without stopping. humiliation and slaughter.

The northwest garrison came all the way to the capital, passing by two villages that were slaughtered.Yan Jing still remembers those rotting corpses, dilapidated houses, or the remains of bones after being burned.

Therefore, he could understand how much courage it took for these people who had lost their lives at the hands of the South Vietnamese to flee their homeland with everything they cherished before seeing the war coming again.

After all, there is nothing more important than being alive.

Yan Jing let out a very light sigh, and was quickly blown away in the wind. He slowly let go of the rein that he had been holding tightly to just now, glanced at his red palm, and asked in a low voice : "Ah Wei, tell me, in the eyes of these common people, wouldn't it be better for such a country, such a country, to perish?"

Cui Wei's breath was stagnant for a long time before he said softly, "Brother Jing, it's not your fault."

"Maybe it wasn't in the past," Yan Jing said slowly, "but on that day, I accepted my father's will in front of the officials, that is, I accepted all the people in this world. After that, they left their homes and homes, and they were bullied. It was all my fault that I was brutally murdered." Speaking of this, he shook his head lightly, "But, what can I do with such a waste like me? Apart from my useless words in the eyes of others The decree can show a little different identity, isn't it actually a family ruined and a family left?"

He wanted to escape countless times, but in the end, that majestic imperial city, that affluent capital city was his homeland.A few months ago, he was stained with the blood of his mother and concubine, holding the young Yan Jue in his arms, and escaped from there in a panic.He once thought desperately, the two brothers were isolated and helpless, and Cui Wei's life and death were unknown. Could it be that in this life, he would never have the chance to come back here again?

Unexpectedly, only a few months later, he brought an army of tens of thousands, and together with Cui Wei, he came back here again.But this time, he took on a new identity and shouldered an unprecedented mission.He wants to return to his homeland, and one day, he will always let the people who fled in a hurry along the way return to their homeland.

He raised his hand, touched the long sword on his waist, raised his eyes again, just turned around an intersection, and saw a tall city gate standing at the end of the road at a glance.Yan Jing lowered his eyes slightly, carelessly smoothed the mane of the horse that didn't know when it stopped, and then said softly: "Ah Wei, we are back."

This is Yan Jing's hometown, so why not Cui Wei's, and among the tens of thousands of soldiers behind them, how many wives, children and children are also in this city. The team that was moving forward in an orderly manner stopped slowly. They all looked over, that was the purpose of their trek all the way here, and it was also the concern they put aside in their hearts along the way.

Cui Wei's eyes flickered slightly, and there was an inexplicable emotion in those always bright eyes: "Since you're back, let's say hello." As he said, he slowly raised his right hand and moved toward the soldiers behind him. He made a gesture, and the next moment, the sound of war drums shook the sky, as if they sounded from all directions, locking the entire capital firmly inside.

The gates of the capital are still tightly closed. After all, the news of the fall of Luozhou City should have spread long ago. No matter how conceited Chen Qi is, it is impossible for him not to take precautions.Sure enough, the next moment, countless gunmen appeared on the seemingly empty city wall, each holding a longbow with a sharp arrow on the bow, pointing directly at the northwest garrison below the city, followed by a man in red A middle-aged man in yellow emperor uniform appeared on the city wall surrounded by several followers.

Cui Wei and Yan Jing glanced at each other, the hand holding the rein tightly, and then it was on the hilt of the sword at the waist. Yan Jing glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and showed him a comforting gesture. She smiled, and then raised her head to look at the shining figure on the city wall.The familiar red-yellow robe made Yan Jing's eyes glow red, but in the end he just hooked his lower lip and showed a faint smile: "It seems that this is King Kang."

Chen Qiju looked condescendingly at the Northwest Garrison Army below the city, and was besieged by this army. He didn't feel embarrassed or afraid on his face. Instead, he turned his eyes casually, and finally turned from Yan Jing's face to Cui Wei's face: "Well, Xuan Pinghou is really fateful. It’s fine if he didn’t die in Beiliang. He was safe and sound during this journey. He didn’t even get hurt at all. It seems that the members of your Cui family are indeed natural born generals. The Yan family. Although this is not the result I expected, Ah Qiao should be very happy to see you."

Hearing Cui Qiao's name, Cui Wei's horse took two steps forward as if it was out of control. Cui Wei clenched his teeth and tightened the rein hard. He didn't know whether it was to control the horse under him or to control himself. A cold voice came out: "My sister, where are you now?"

Chen Qi looked at him, tilted his head slightly, and then glanced behind him: "Since you want to see, then let you meet, who made me happy with your sister, I only hope for her well .”
