When Ling Qingyu woke up again, the sky outside was completely dark, she blinked her eyes and just moved her hands, she felt something on her waist, and she was deeply surprised, and then heard a low and lazy voice behind her: " woke up?"

Uh? Ling Qingyu turned around and saw the handsome man with a flowery smile on his face. It took him a while to react, pointing at him in surprise, and then looked at the room, no, I didn't change places

"I just arrived in the afternoon. I was drenched in the rain for a long time. I took a bath and came in to rest." He Li explained briefly, and asked, "I heard that you slept for two days, are you hungry?" His voice had not finished yet , He heard a gurgling sound, saw her cheeks flushed immediately, suppressed a smile and said: "Get up, Sum is ready for dinner." Seeing that she was still staring at him silently, He Li simply went ahead Sitting up, he hugged her up and said: "Well, the master is not strong enough, so let the little servant get dressed."

"He Li!" Ling Qingyu sighed after being tossed by him to change out of his pajamas: "Why didn't I know you were like this before?"

Holding her up, he took a coat and put it on her. He Li lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said with a smile, "I've always been like this, but you didn't notice it before." Only Yang Zhao...

"Are you trying to settle accounts with me?" Ling Qingyu snorted.

"Huh? Are we the queen of autumn?" Seeing that her face was flushed again, He Li hugged her tightly with a smile, and then said in a low voice, "Don't leave again, okay?" For a long time, he didn't know how he got through his days. Worry, fear and longing tormented him almost all the time. He could only use military training, exit and single talisman to fight a few fights. Later, he simply regained Shuozhou. On the battlefield, between gold and iron horses, let his heart sink, wait, can only wait, this kind of feeling, he never wants to taste it again.

Ling Qingyu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Are you inviting me to go to the battlefield with you?"

"Well, even if He Li is smashed to pieces, it won't hurt you." He Li lowered his head and kissed her treacherously smiling lips. If she wants to get the highest position, she must not only have the support of the people, but also have the absolute support of the army. She already has prestige among the people, but her prestige in the army is only limited to generals like them and the old troops of Heishuiguan. The recruits did not fully recognize her. It is very simple to gain the approval of the soldiers, share weal and woe with them, stand on the front line of the battlefield, inspire the soldiers who fought for her on the battlefield, lead them to victory after victory, let their If you can get rewards for your efforts, you will definitely meet people's wishes, and its profits will cut through gold.

You must be able to do it, because you have always stood at the forefront, no matter what kind of storm, you have always stood at the bow of the ship, guiding the direction of the entire ship.

In the past, it was Yan San who protected you on the boat, so from now on, He Li will be my replacement...

He Li brought 50,000 cavalry first, and 50,000 infantry accompanied Yin Ting'an. Meng Su left 20,000 troops to garrison Tongguan, and the rest joined He Li's camp. The next day, Ying Thirteen After picking up Ye Shiyi's night soul, Ye Shiyi's thousand-man team also came back at the same time.

When he saw the thousand-man team and Ye Shiyi, He Li had an ambiguous smile on his lips. At that time, no one knew what that meant. It was not until many years later that Ye Shiyi had the chance to ask. Did you design me at that time, He Li replied with a smile, how can I, I'm not that bad, isn't that your original intention? I just saw your heart.

Chang'an, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, with its majestic city walls and continuous houses, is shrouded in mist and mist.

It has been raining for three days, first heavy rain and then light rain. The leaves in early summer have just turned from green to ripe, and the stone road in front of the courtyard is wet, and the few rose bushes that are open next to it are exposed. A shy face.

Seeing Zhou You, the trainer of the Chang'an Regiment, staring at the clumps of roses in front of the court without making a sound, the lieutenant said anxiously: "My lord! Please make a quick decision. We have 50,000 people now. It's raining and it's not good for the cavalry. If we don't attack again When their reinforcements arrive, we'll have no chance."

"What kind of reinforcements can they have? Isn't the Ling family's base camp on Guangnan Road? Can they come from Guangnan Road?" Another lieutenant cupped his hands and said, "My lord, they are going deep alone, and they may not bring much food and grass. Now this year's The food has not been confiscated. If we go out and burn all the food in the Ling family farm, then they will have no food and no way out, and the morale of the army will be in turmoil. If we take advantage of the situation to defeat them, then Tongguan in Weinan can be taken back. Qin Chuan is your lord world!"

Qin Ziqi stood in the corner of the room, watching the generals persuade Zhou You, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. If Meng Su had just come down and intercepted on favorable terrain, he might still have a chance of winning, but now Meng Su It took more than half a month to rest in Tongguan. There are so many Ling family farms on the Weinan Plain, how could they have no food reserves? Even if they don't have reinforcements, that army is not something that 50,000 soldiers can resist. They can hold on to the city for a while. , Going out of the city to take the initiative to fight, you were all bribed by the Ling family, right

"If we just ignore it, what if the court blames us?"

"The court? Which court?"

"Stop arguing! Dialect, you take 30,000 soldiers to Weinan and burn all the farmland of the Ling family. Zheng Fai, gather strong men in the city and prepare to defend the city. Qin Ziqi, Ouyang Gou, Weng Qing, go out of the city to collect food and grass , Empty all the surrounding villages and towns, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, I will see what Meng Su feeds his people!" Zhou You finally spoke, and several generals walked out after receiving the order.

"My husband," Qin An said in a low voice while helping her husband put on the armor, "my father-in-law has brought a message. The fields at home are being re-measured. Our family has a large population, so we can share more fields. My father-in-law said that we can start the land as before." I owe it on credit, and I can pay it back later in the fall, or I can pay it now, the father-in-law has made the calculations, and thinks it would be more cost-effective to pay it now, and the silver is still short of thirty taels."

Qin Ziqi snapped his hand. The father-in-law that the wife said was his own father. In the early years, the family was poor and there were too many children to support him, so he was sent to the Qin family in Chang'an City. At first, it was fine that the Qin family had no children. After giving birth to his own child, he was sent to the army to join the army. When his biological parents found out, they found the army and gave the little money they had at home to his boss, begging the boss to take care of his son. He served in the army for ten years He was promoted and returned to Chang'an, and then went back to find his biological parents. Only then did he realize that his family was in a panic. The whole family almost starved to death. It was the Ling family who went to Weinan at that time, not only bought those fields, but also gave them a low rent. He even bought food for them before saving the whole family. Even this caring daughter-in-law was married to him from Zhuangzi.

Seeing that her husband had a cold face and no response, Qin Anshi lowered her eyes and knelt down to bandage his feet and put on his boots. After finishing everything, Qin Zi wondered, "Tell father, get out of here as soon as possible. "

Qin An raised her head sharply and asked, "Are you going to fight against the Ling family?"

"not me…"

Qin An secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was her brother who came to deliver the letter, and there were some things that she didn't tell Qin Ziqi, that is, whether Qin Ziqi's brothers or her own brothers, they all joined the Ling family's troops, My brother came here to ask her to leave the city.

After three days of rain, the Weihe River swelled. The river was dark yellow and rolled down with mud, hitting the high dams on both banks.

Ling Qingyu was wearing a light armor, the metal armor made her skin uncomfortable, making her move from time to time, and then she immediately turned serious, looking at the vast field below the mountain and the Wei River that circled the plain like a yellow ribbon. .

Without giving her any time to react, He Li brought her here, mobilized the 70,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry who had just recruited without armor and weapons before the battle, and then was put on by He Li and brought her here Armor, walked up this hill.

There were densely packed cavalry hidden under the cliffs on the two wings. Those infantry had no chance to go to the battlefield. According to what He Li and Meng Su said, they would have to train for at least half a year before they could become real soldiers. Although she had experienced a thousand-mile raid with Yang Zhao and the others, she was like an accessory like a backpack, but now she is standing under this big banner, wearing a very majestic armor, watching her with excited and worshipful eyes all over the mountains and plains. Next, as the main general of this battle.

Commander, what a fart! How can you die, your soldiers were trained for half a year, but I didn't have half an hour for me. My head is still pale, and I, a dead duck, have been chased by you!

Her resentful and contemptuous eyes kept sweeping towards him from the corners of her eyes, and she tried to maintain a solemn expression. From time to time, she twisted her body in the armor that did not fit well. What he said.

Facing the dark crowd on the plain, she said loudly: Brothers, you and I come from different places, but we live together in this land called Dazhou, and so do our parents, brothers and sisters, But we work hard but can't get enough food to eat, and the wealth we get from hard work can't be guaranteed. Even, there are soldiers from Heishuiguan among you, right? Even, you shed blood and desperately resisted foreign enemies, but in the end you were betrayed and plotted by your own people. How many soldiers' blood was shed in the Black Water Pass, how many soldiers' heroic souls were buried, and how many died not at the hands of the enemy but in the conspiracy of the court Calculating hand? The land is sick and the regime is rotten! Those in power don't regard us as human beings. In their eyes, human life is just a calculation and a number under the profit! However, who among us is not born of a mother? Where is the difference between high and low in human life? If this regime, these rulers are not there for us ordinary people, then why should we obey them? Today, I come among you, and I will go to the battlefield with you, not for recreation or entertainment, but determined to share life and death with you, to overthrow this unreasonable regime, and to obtain our reasonable rights! Equality, Liberty, and Dignity! To this I will sacrifice my honor, my blood, and even my body. Of course, I know that I only have the body of a weak woman, maybe you can knock me down with a fist (laughter rang out), but I have a firm heart, a willingness to build that equality and freedom so that all people have dignity A heart that gave everything to the living kingdom! Wait a minute, we will meet the first batch of enemies, and we will face more enemies in the future, some of you will be injured, some may even lose their lives, but I want everyone to understand that this war is not for the powerful Our war, but for yourselves, for your family and children, so that our children and grandchildren can stand tall and live happily! Do princes and generals care about each other? I will watch over you and reward each of you for your courage and merit on the battlefield! Seeing your indomitable spirit, I already know that you will be invincible without perseverance! You are worthy of reward, worthy of the glory and laurels you deserve! From this time on, it won't be long before we will overthrow this decadent dynasty and establish a new dynasty that belongs to all of us! must win!

Her words were repeated sentence by sentence by Ye Shiyi and Ye Po using internal force, and passed on across the entire plain. When the last two words fell, there was a thunderous sound, not only the soldiers, but also the people who were watching. He knelt down and saluted her.

"Master," Ying Thirteen asked in a low voice, "What is a laurel crown?"

Uh? Ling Qingyu stared at him blankly. You looked like a thinker and thought about it for two hours before you thought of asking me this? He whispered: "This is Greece, which belongs to a country on the continent of Europa. The crown is made of laurel leaves. It is used as a reward for victory or glory, and it means that you have won a very high honor."

"Is it something like the battle medal you mentioned?" He Li whispered beside him.

"Well, it's the highest level of medal." Ling Qingyu nodded, then pointed to a cavalry team that had run out down the mountain and asked, "What is that for?"

"Get the bait to lure the enemy over." He Li waved his hand, and the flag bearer next to him began to play flags. Seeing that the formation below had changed slightly, He Li waved his hand to stop the team, and then looked towards the distance and came along the Wei River dust and smoke. It is very dangerous to lure the enemy deep into the team. This time, there are so many people rushing to do it. Some people even said that the master went to the battlefield with the weak body of a woman. Can we old men still be afraid of death? , Don't give up.

The rolling speed of dust and smoke in the distance has obviously accelerated. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the huge dust and smoke coming from the Weihe plain and entering this land surrounded by mountains. The Ling family's large field, He Li's setting the ambush here was a surprise from a military point of view, and also avoided bringing the battlefield to the Ling family's field.

Ling Qingyu glanced at He Li quietly again, this guy, why didn't he think he was insidious before? I just took a peek, but unexpectedly, He Li just turned his head and smiled brightly in response to her contemptuous gaze, and then the semaphore changed again, and the cavalry on the left wing had already circled the enemy's rear from the side of the mountain.

"Attack!" With a roar, He Li rode his horse and jumped down the hillside, followed closely by the red-armored cavalry who roared higher and higher.

The red torrent rushed towards the dust and smoke that was aggressively chasing the small group of people like a huge wave, and the horseshoes stamped on the ground, making a huge roar.

"Aren't we going?" Looking at Ying Shisan who was holding his reins tightly, Ling Qingyu asked, didn't he mean that we will live together and die together

"Did you see the coach charge?" Ying Shisan glanced at him, and surrounded her with the teenagers.

"My lord! Just look at us!"

"Yeah, we won't be inferior to a woman!"

The red cavalry walked around her from both sides and rushed down. Someone even turned around and said that, with a bright smile, they rushed towards the place of killing.

Ling Qingyu maintained a serious expression, and then asked Ying Shisan in a low voice: "Are what I said stupid?" All of them were in vernacular, without losing any old accents. Does it sound weird? Sure enough, what should I use? But this is the truth.

Ying Shisan glanced at her and didn't make a sound, are you stupid? That red soldier knelt down and shouted long live the lord, that excited mood that he could die for her immediately, does this woman know what she said? No, she didn't think those were inciting words, because that was her true heart, she just spoke her true words.

After the rain, the plain was muddy, and the horseshoes stepped on the mud flakes, which were then dyed bright red.

"Didn't they say they are still in Tongguan? And there are so many people!" Fang Yan shouted in horror, looking at the red cavalry rushing out like a huge wave.

"My lord! Now is not the time to talk about this, there are too many of them!" The deputy general shouted from the side. Not only were there a lot of people, but they were all cavalry, and the killing intent and aura like a rainbow were definitely not comparable to those pampered soldiers like them, it was an army that had experienced many battles!

"Retreat! Go back to the city!" Dialect shouted.

Seeing the red chasing the gray at the foot of the mountain, the gray running in front was blocked by the red that circled behind the mountain, swallowing those gray partitions piece by piece and finally obliterating them. Being replaced, half-ripe wheat was trampled into mud, and human life was trampled into mud.

The battle didn't last long, the red had already completely covered the plain below the mountain, and then the leading flag waved, and the scattered red gathered into a red stream, heading straight towards Chang'an.

"They're just going to attack Chang'an, master, let's follow." Ying Shisan jumped onto Ling Qingyu's horse, put his arms around her waist, pinched the horse's belly, and rode up from the mountain to catch up.

Before they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw the Kang family bringing a group of troops back. Seeing them, they smiled and said, "The general led the team to directly attack Chang'an, let's go and watch the excitement."

The gray on the surface was blocked back by the red that circled behind the mountain, swallowing those gray partitions piece by piece and finally obliterating them. The original blue-yellow brilliant colors on the Weinan Plain were completely replaced, and the half-ripe wheat was trampled into mud, killing people. And was trampled into mud.

The battle didn't last long, the red had already completely covered the plain below the mountain, and then the leading flag waved, and the scattered red gathered into a red stream, heading straight towards Chang'an.

"They're just going to attack Chang'an, master, let's follow." Ying Shisan jumped onto Ling Qingyu's horse, put his arms around her waist, pinched the horse's belly, and rode up from the mountain to catch up.

Before they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw the Kang family bringing a group of troops back. Seeing them, they smiled and said, "The general led the team to directly attack Chang'an, let's go and watch the excitement."
