Nightfall

In the 14th year of Datang Tianqi, a thousand-year-old barren who had lived in the extreme northern cold region for a long time returned to seize the large grassland of the left account of Wang Ting, which directly led to the harassment of Wang Ting cavalry on the southern Central Plains. In response to the dangerous situation that has not been encountered for ten years, the Xiling Temple issued an edict calling on believers of Haotian Dao and Zhengdao colleagues to assist Yan State to reach the barbarians' invasion.

At the same time, the Datang Empire sent West Roadside Army to aid Yan, and called the Yan Army.

Because of the arrival of reinforcements, the Zuohu Wangting tribe cavalry disturbed the border and it seemed to be much more constricted, especially when the pioneers of Datang Aid Yan Army came to the Yanbei wilderness along the rogue east of Shandong, Zuohu Wangting increased his attention to each other. Tribal constraints, the wild winds roaring in the wilderness, it is difficult to find the traces of barbarians.

The reason why the barbarian cavalry is not easy to deal with is because they have a large piece of grassland behind them ... and they can't chase them when they see the wrong momentum and escape into the long grass. Unless the kings of the world have the ambitions of the emperor of the great Tang Dynasty, there is no way to completely eliminate this threat.

Therefore, when the barbarian cavalry's invasion of Yanjing became less serious, after the Zuohe Wangting dispatched the peace talker, the Central Plains troops gathered in the north of Yanjing did not go northward, but chose to station on the spot and put their main minds. On the defense of the frontier fortresses everywhere, the situation of the frontiers became a lot calmer.

The more than one hundred thousand troops stationed outside Yan ’s territory are called coalition forces of the Central Plains. In fact, in addition to the young practitioners from the Southern Jin Yuelun countries, they are basically Yan ’s local troops and the Yan Army sent by the Datang Empire.

The so-called aid to the Yan Army is precisely the elite of the Western Roadside Army under the control of General Xiahou. This unit known for its cruelty and iron brutality even defeated the eleven cities of Yan State in the war ten years ago, leaving the Yan Guo people with extremely painful memories. In the Yan people's view, these Tang people who claim to be aid are more than the barbarian cavalry on the grassland. The abomination is even more terrible.

Based on such a simple comparison of emotion and strength, Yan Guo showed a considerable degree of vigilance to the Western Datang Aid Yan Army from the monarch to the ordinary army soldiers. Although on the surface, pig and cattle grains were still sent as condolences, but in reality The troops of the Chinese Yan Kingdom and the Tang Army maintained a considerable distance. The two sides divided the eastern and western fronts on the border of Yanbei. They ignored each other and even showed great spirits to pay attention to each other's movements.

Young practitioners from various countries who came to receive orders from the Xiling Temple naturally stayed with the Yan team, and the students from the Changan Chengnan Academy naturally stayed in the barracks of the Datang Aid Yan Army.

At the end of autumn, the north of the wasteland was cold first, breathing into a sharp moment, and the grass color was early yellow.

Somewhere outside Yanbei Junzun in Yanbei, there are few trees on a meadow. The leaves have already fallen. Standing here, the eyes can easily penetrate the clear sky and fall further. For example, the black smoke generated by the burning of unknown things in the distant wilderness, and the wounded soldiers lying on the whistling cart. Now that the situation in the frontier fortress is calm, peace talks may be held immediately, but in the depths of the wasteland, small-scale battles between the Datang cavalry and the prairie cavalry still happen occasionally. A few days later, the body and the wounded will be transported back.

Ning Que sat on the meadow and looked northwest, his hand resting on his knee slowly whirling a small sign. The material of this brand is a bit weird, not gold, jade, stone, wood, and very hard. It was stuffed by Sister Yulian before leaving the college. He didn't pay attention at the time, but he remembered it later on the journey. In his hands, he was a little curious about the purpose of this brand, and also used it to reduce his nostalgia for Chang'an City.

There is a blurry black line beneath the sky in the northwest, which is not obvious. But he had been there, he knew how tall and majestic the rolling hills there were, so he felt that the sky and the wilderness were wide and unspeakable.

That fuzzy black line is the male mountain that divided the northern part of the mainland into two parts. He and Sang Sang mainly lived in the eastern foothills when they were young. When they came out of the west cliff ten years ago, they met the destroyed home. Drow, that memory has been a long time ago, but it is still clear.

As you pass by, remember to go further north, there will be a naturally formed gap in the middle of Mangshan. Thousands of miles from the south to the north, the Mangshan Mountain Range divides the southern part of the wasteland into two halves, and also separates the Datang and Yan Kingdoms. If you do not want to bypass the northern part of the wasteland, the army can only pass through the gap.

Important military sites like this are naturally firmly in the hands of the Datang Empire, where the most elite divisions of the North Army of the Empire are stationed, and the most important military mission of the North Army of the Empire is not to hold back dangerously and threaten In the eastern part of the grassland, Zuoying Wangting or Yan Kingdom really worried the empire that the most powerful Jinting Wangting in the wasteland was the place where Princess Li Yu once married.

Ning Que, who lived for many years, is one of the seven city fortresses. The seven city fortress is one of the most obscure frontier defense lines of the elite division of the North Road Army. , The hometown that really belongs to him and Sang Sang, can't help but give birth to some miss and warmth.

The old people in Weicheng do n’t know how they are going and how General Ma ’s body is. The silver tickets sent by the carriage in the spring do not know if they received them. How much wine do you drink to celebrate, and when should you and Sang Sang go back to see them? I have been stationed here for more than a month, and I always send this rider to scout, when will I really attack? In a few days, it will be winter, and then the wasteland, and the soldiers will pay more than they do now. "

A young military officer was sitting next to Ning Que, his light armor was polished, looking at the clear wilderness and the wounded soldiers on the carriage. Jianmei frowned angrily and said, "I really don't know what the general's house is thinking about. I heard that General Xiahou did not enter Yan at all, and is still in Tuyang City Mansion, which is really too ridiculous.

Ning Que looked at him and smiled, and said, "Where does it take a slaughter knife to kill chickens? For the cavalry of Zuoying Wangting, where does General Xiahou need to go out in person? The court sent half of the West Route Army to come, which was enough for that. The left account is on Yan Yan. General Xiahou stayed in Tuyang City and did not come to Frontier Fortress to personally command because he knew that this battle could not be fought at all. Since he did not have to go deep into the wasteland, what was the difference between the golden autumn and winter? "

Young military officers are the regular proof of college students. This military trainer with outstanding achievements in riding and shooting has once served in the Yulin Army. Today he came to the front of the Yanyan Army and was assigned to the northernmost and most dangerous fortress. However, he did not have any opinions, but instead Leaping to try to bring the cavalry into the wilderness, like the predecessors to make illustrious military exploits for the empire, but did not expect a sleepy is more than a month, the army did not mean to go out.

These days his mood was a bit depressed. At this time, listening to Ning Que said this, he retorted: "The Central Plains countries have made such a big movement, the temple issued an edict, and the empire sent reinforcements. It took so much money to gather the troops, how could it not be done? "

Ning Que said with a smile: "Do you think this looks like a fight?"

It is often proved that pointing to the carriages under the meadow, said: "Small-scale fighting has been happening, I don't see it not fighting, but the two sides of the coalition are pulling the skin, and there is no way to confirm when the large-scale attack will start."

Ning Que shook his head and said: "Small-scale battles will certainly continue, but that is for bargaining with Zuoying Wangting. You have to figure out what is the ultimate purpose of the two hundred thousand horses in the south of the wasteland. If you understand this, I know at a glance why this war can't be fought after all. "

"Why?" Often asked with frowns.

Ning Que asked: "Why did Zuoying Wangting bother?"

He often proves that he doesn't want to think about it, and replied: "Because the wild nature is cruel and greedy."

Ning Que didn't have a good air: "Nonsense ... How can anyone not be greedy."

He often proved hesitant and said, "Is it because the barren move south?"

Ning Que looked at the young military officer and said, "The real enemy of Zuoying Wang Ting Shan Yu is the barren tribe behind him. The Xiling Temple's decree also warned against the possible revival of the demon sect by the barren going south. As for my Datang Empire ... The barrens have been beaten into crippled by us, and of course we have to be wary of their revenge after they become strong. So in the final analysis, everyone is wary of those barren warriors in more distant places. "

The barren have been away from the wasteland for more than a thousand years. It is a legend that is far from memorable for the Central Plains. During the trip to the frontier, the academy's students made up for their knowledge and roughly understood that long history, but For them and the people of the Central Plains, this tribe is still extremely mysterious.

"But I heard that there are only a few hundred thousand people left in the desert, and even if the whole people are soldiers, it is impossible to pose any threat to the Central Plains. On the contrary, there are countless warrior knights under the left of Wang Ting, if they really go south like a worm ..."

"In your eyes, the powerful Zuo Wang Wangting, who was robbed of a large area of ​​grassland by the barren, was rushed to the south and was forced to cross the line that my Datang drew for them. Only hundreds of thousands of people can do this. If you give them time to stand firm in the north and multiply and grow, do n’t you think it is terrible? What reason do the Xiling Temple and the court not be nervous? "

Ning Que said with a smile: "Don't forget that as long as there is enough food, it is always simple to have children."

It often proves that silence is long and asks: "So what should we do?"

Ning Que looked at the black smoke in the distance of the wild wilderness. After thinking for a moment, "Looking at the current situation, I guess the Xiling Temple and the imperial court had the same idea. Responsible for giving him ordnance equipment and food, they are responsible for fighting. "

It often proves that he is unexplainable and asks: "The talents who can't win the drought are forced to move south, why is Zuoying Wangting so stupid as to go back and fight?"

"So we will only be here now ... The temple and the court are now making their posture very clear, and they have written a multiple choice question for Shan Yu to do, either you will have a fight with us, or you will go on with our support and The barren will fight one more time. You must be dead in the former, and you may be dead in the latter. There must always be a difference. "

It often proves stunned. I didn't expect this to be so complicated. I said with emotion: "This multiple choice question is really not easy to do."

Ning Que patted his shoulder and said, "Dan Yu thinks so."

At this time, dozens of the most elite West Road Army light horses appeared behind the meadow. The leader ’s capable captain looked at Ning Que ’s face above the meadow and appeared anxious. . It often proves that looking at the elite cavalry under the meadow like an enemy, and recognizing that it should be a direct cavalry under the General's Mansion, he could not help but slightly surprised, and subconsciously looked at Ning Que next to him.

The captain of the Tang military under the meadow looked up at Ning Que and said sadly: "Mr. Thirteen, it is too close to a pretty ride. It is really unsafe. Let's return to the barracks?

"Mr. Thirteen?" Asked Chang Ningque, who often proved to be watching.

Ning Que looked at the nervous cavalry under the meadow, but he sighed lightly, patted his **** and stood up, explaining to Chang Chang: "They don't know who I am, they only know that I rank thirteen."

It often proves to stand up

"My college leader, although not responsible for your life and death, always care about what you are doing."

Ning Que looked at him and said, "I came to see your situation today. Since I was urged, I had to leave early. Tomorrow I will go to Bishui Camp, but Yilan and Wang Ying are over there."

"You have worked hard." Chang Chang said seriously.

"It's just an inspector entrusted to the platform, eating and drinking and screaming. What's the hard work?"

Ning Que laughed at herself, waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to send it, patted his **** and walked down the meadow.

Walking down the meadow, he looked at the border guard lieutenant who had followed him for a whole month, and those soldiers who were watching closely, as if they might meet the prairie cavalry at any time, but said helplessly:

"This is still my Datang military camp, why is it so nervous? Do you really want to follow me like this every day?"

The school lieutenant replied seriously: "On the peak, you must be guaranteed your safety if you belong to others."

Ning Que thought about the free but boring frontier life of the past month. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I'm just an ordinary trainee. As a result, I now have dozens of elite cavalry around me. What's the matter? I ’m not General Xiahou, where can I afford such treatment? "

The captain explained respectfully: "Mr. Thirteen, although we do not know your true identity, it is clearly stated in the military command of the General Mansion that your safety is more important than that of the general."

This is a very chalky answer.

Not many people in the West Roadside Army knew Ning Que ’s true chalky identity. The reason why General House cares so much about Ning Que ’s safety is not because General Xiahou knew his dark bodyguard ’s identity and came with His Majesty ’s surveillance mission, so I want to isolate him from the strength of the army, but for a very simple reason.

Dozens of students in the college are practicing on the front line, and it is the practice of the Tang Dynasty to sharpen their combat skills and abilities with real swords and guns. Therefore, from the ministers of the DPRK and China to the generals of the frontiers, they will only treat these young people as ordinary officers. However, Ning Que is not an ordinary college student. He is a student on the second floor of the college. ~ Www.wuxiaspot.com ~ In these years, no student on the second floor of the college has been enlisted in the military for practical training. Only Ning lacks this special case as a master. If you let such a person have a problem on the front line, even if you lose a hair, it will cause an uproar.

General Xiahou may be able to withstand the anger of His Majesty, but he has no guts to face the disappointment of the Master.

So after coming from Chang'an to Yanbei Wasteland Frontier Fortress, Ning Que did not return to the familiar years of conquering the iron and blood, but was generally provided by the West Road Front Army as an ancestor.

The barracks carefully guarded his safety, whether drinking or eating meat, to meet any of his requirements ... but he would never be allowed to be slightly close to some possible dangers. So, except for the gentle curves along the side to go to the military camps to visit the students in the academy as often proved, he has nothing to do now.

Ning Que looked at the cavalry who respectfully waited to **** him away, could not help but sighed, put his finger in the entrance and hit a whistle, and saw a **** horse in the diagonal stabbing behind the meadow, This **** horse carries heavy luggage like a hill, but still walks like a hoof, chewing things in its mouth, and does not know what it can eat on this leaf-covered meadow covered with autumn grass and frost. Eat so happy
