That night, the Wei troops stationed in the desert chatted with each other, or made jokes, or missed their homeland, or complained about the restlessness here. There were scolding, laughter, and probably one or two choking sounds in the camp.
Drinking the warm soup from their mouths made this cold night not so cold, and the dry biscuits in their mouths were hard, but that night, they all slept peacefully, even though they all knew that tomorrow, they We have to continue on the road to expedition to Mobei.
When the sun rose the next day, the army formed a team and walked northwestward in the desert. No one knew what the road ahead would be. With spears on their shoulders and helmets on their foreheads, they just walked away from the homeland they still missed last night, without thinking about the way home.
Not because of anything, just because they are in the army, most of the time they always have no choice. However, maybe when they embarked on this road, they still had a little bit of blood in their hearts, a little bit of heroism, a little bit of sound, and they couldn't return.
Do you still remember the veteran who proposed to compete with Gu Nan? He had a scar on his face, stretching from the corner of his mouth to the eyes. In fact, his military merits are long enough. Gao Changgong once wanted to transfer him to another department to be an officer, but he didn't go.
When he talked about this with Gu Nan, he smiled and pointed to the scar on his face, "My old Chen's life was saved by the general, and I can't leave until I repay the favor.
Gu Nan followed Wei Jun to the north, and she couldn't remember the big and small battles along the way, but she only remembered that once, she asked Gao Changgong.
"Where do you want to end on your way north?"
Gao Changgong thought for a while, looked at Northwest for a long time, and suddenly smiled.
"Why not, how about sealing the wolf as a living?"
Just like the hussar general Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty, he killed all the way, making the Turks frightened by the news, and dared not enter the Han soil.
Gu Nan raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction Gao Changgong was looking at.
"This road is not close."
But Gao Changgong said: "I still want to go further."
Lead the army all the way, rein in the horse as the frontier, until the whole world is the king's land.
At the end of the second year, the Turks were already in a mess, and there was a ballad sung among them, to the effect of this.
The horseshoes of the evil spirits sounded, the warriors left without returning, the unmanned horses ran on the grassland, the women who lost their husbands shed tears, and the cries echoed among the mountains at night.
This is war, there is never right or wrong, only winning or losing, the Turkic soldiers retreated again and again.
But at this moment, an order came from Guanzhong, which required all the soldiers and horses in Mobei to return to Guanzhong immediately.
Wei Guo's army stopped, and then retreated towards Guanzhong in the eyes of the Turkic people who survived the catastrophe.
Beyond the Great Wall.
After walking for about ten miles, it was the boundary of Guanzhong, and the army stopped.
Gu Nan didn't plan to go back to Guanzhong, or he didn't plan to go back with Gao Changgong and the others. When she joined the army, she said that she would leave when it was time to leave, and now it is time to leave.
When leaving, Gao Changgong came out to see him off. He held a jar of wine and threw a wine bowl to Gu Nan.
"Brother Gu, you really don't plan to go back with me?"
Gao Changgong asked, although he knew how Gu Nan would answer, he still asked.
Gu Nan caught the wine bowl and shook his head: "No need."
It's just a simple farewell for two people with a jar of wine, but it's just right for her.
She has experienced many differences, but the simpler ones can make people think less.
Gao Changgong unsealed the wine jar in his hand, poured wine for Gu Nan, and then poured another bowl for himself.
When he raised the wine bowl, he smiled at Gu Nan.
"Then I won't persuade you any more, but Brother Gu, don't forget to come to Xuchang in the future and take you to see the fireworks in Xuchang."
"Heh." Gu Nan raised his mouth and smiled faintly, lifted his own bowl and touched his.
"If there is a chance, I will come."
"Say yes!"
"we have a deal."
The two wine glasses were raised up and drank in one gulp. Gu Nan put down the wine bowls and wiped his mouth.
Suddenly she smiled and said to Gao Changgong: "By the way, Brother Gao, there is one thing I haven't told you all this time."
"Oh?" Gao Changgong asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
Gu Nan let go of the internal force that was pressing on his throat, his voice was no longer that thick male voice, but changed back to his original voice, and he said with a smile.
"I am indeed a woman."
After finishing speaking, he put down the wine bowl, put on the robe behind him, turned around and walked away, and waved slowly behind him while walking.
Only Gao Changgong was left standing there holding the wine bowl in a daze.
······
At the end of the Wei Dynasty, when the Turks entered the country, they sent troops to the north, defeated the Turks, and entered the courtyard of Mobei.
However, it was also at this time that the court suddenly changed and the ministers rebelled, so the court hurriedly ordered soldiers and horses to return to the court to put down the chaos. Even so, this chaos still damaged the foundation of Wei State.
After the soldiers and horses from all walks of life pacified the rebellious army, they led the army back to the court, and the Wei Emperor gave rewards one by one.
When he saw Gao Changgong, he saw the mask on his face, clapped his hands and praised him, and besides the original one last time, he also gave him a golden mask.
It was the end of the year.
A few nights later, Xuchang opened a night market and held gatherings in the city as in previous years.
Many people gathered on the street, some stood by the side of the street watching the performances and sacrifices on the long platform, some walked around, bought small things from the vendors in the market, and some sat in a tea stand Drink tea here, waiting for the fireworks in the evening.
A young man was walking on the street. His handsome appearance attracted the girls on both sides of the road to look back.
At this time, with a sound, a flame flew into the night sky.
"Bang!" The flames exploded, turning the sky red, the city red, and the cheeks of passers-by on the road red.
Immediately afterwards, countless fire lights followed the sound, one after another, reflecting the stars and the moon in the night sky, making everyone stop and look. That scenery is really beautiful in the world.
The handsome young man also stopped, looked up at the fireworks, and looked at the scene of this prosperous age. He was fascinated and thought about many things.
Emperor Wei Xuan died of illness in 574 AD, and Emperor Wei Ling succeeded to the throne. However, after he succeeded, he was dissolute and ignored the government. Originally, Emperor Xuan had many expeditions so that the army and the people were exhausted. dropped a lot. Now I meet such a licentious monarch again, which makes the subjects lament.
In 580 A.D., Yang Jian, an important official, rose up in response to public opinion and sent troops to Beijing. None of the soldiers and generals in the state of Wei had the will to fight, and many soldiers and civilians followed, so that Yang Jian's momentum became more and more powerful until he invaded Xuchang.
Outside the main hall, the sound of fighting came from the palace road, and the smell of blood could be faintly smelled.
In front of the palace, a man stood under the golden-red palace gate, holding a sharp sword in his hand without a scabbard, and the tip of the sword rested on the ground. The armor on his body was gilded, and a solemn black robe was padded inside, which fluttered slightly with the wind.
He was wearing a mask, and the golden mask portrayed the appearance of a ghost, with a ferocious face.
It's just that under this ferocious mask, there are a pair of plain eyes, quietly looking at the palace wall in the distance.
The sound of swords and soldiers in the palace wall and the sound of fighting were getting closer and closer. When those sounds stopped, an army walked in along the palace wall.
They carried their swords and walked towards the palace with blood on their bodies.
Under the gate of the palace, the masked general lifted the long sword standing on the ground, and walked down the steps towards the army. He was not walking fast, and the cloak behind him was slowly dragged across the steps.
A man came out from the army that entered the palace. He looked at the masked general and said loudly.
"Gao Changgong, why do you have to do this for the dying state of Wei? If you surrender at this time, I will ignore the past and use it for you!"
"I won't surrender." The man with the golden mask said as he walked, he didn't say why, only he knew the answer.
He once made an oath that he would serve a prosperous world with this life, even if that scene is no longer there.
Seeing that he couldn't make sense, the people in front of the army stopped talking nonsense and raised a hand.
Gao Changgong stopped, facing the soldiers and horses, and raised his sword. On the golden mask, the ghost showed its fangs.
Under the mask, he smiled slightly.
"kill!!"
Among the army horses, the sound of killing suddenly resounded, shaking the sky.
In front of the palace, the man held his sword and charged at the army.
They rushed together, the blood splashed on the golden armor, staining the ghost face red, just like Beyond the Great Wall.
Brother Gu, you have never been to Xuchang. It is a pity that I have not been able to see the scene with you.
