Outside the Great Wall, it¡¯s midwinter.
The Hu people's emergency supplies of grain and grass were attacked by a group of Wei's elite cavalry that penetrated deep into the hinterland unnoticed during transportation. All the grain and grass were burned to the ground. Then, the last all-out counterattack organized was met with ruthless sniping by Wei's frontline troops and was defeated.
The successive blows finally forced the Hu people to accept a reality.
Although they had been preparing for this day for a long time, they devoted all their efforts to go to war with Wei Dynasty.
This war started intermittently in the early summer of last year and continued in the middle of winter this year.
But wanting to defeat the army commanded by Duke Wei of the Great Wei Dynasty and seize the Hetao from his hands seems to have become an elusive dream.
Even God doesn¡¯t give me a way to survive. It snowed heavily for three days and three nights. For many days, many men and horses continued to die of hunger and cold. If they did not retreat, once the Wei people formed an encirclement, even if they still maintained the courage to drive their horses to fight to the death, the remaining men and horses would also die of hunger and cold.
That night, the Hu soldiers fled north. At dawn, the camp was in a mess in the snow, with only the corpses of the fallen cavalry and horses that had not had time to be buried.
The difficult battle to defend the Hetao, which had been fought for more than a year, finally came to an end with the decisive victory achieved by the Wei Dynasty.
This war was protracted and extremely difficult. After dawn, in the Wei army camp, cheers of victory resounded through the sky.
Jars of fine wine are brought in, and flocks of cattle and sheep are waiting to be slaughtered. This much-anticipated celebration banquet is now just waiting for the return of the elite cavalry warriors who risked their lives and broke into the hinterland of the barbarians to successfully carry out a surprise attack.
The leaders of this warrior team were Xiao Lie, the third prince of the current dynasty, and Pei Xian, the eldest son of Wei army coach Lao Wei Guogong.
This year, Xiao Lie was only eighteen years old.
Xiao Lie and Pei Xian grew up together, and they are like brothers. A year ago, war broke out outside the Great Wall. The seventeen-year-old Xiao Lie received the Holy Order from the emperor, and together with Pei Xian, he followed the old Duke Wei and served the imperial court.
Because of his status, the old Duke of Wei was afraid that he would suffer some losses at first. In the first battle, Pei Xian was the vanguard, while Xiao Lie was entrusted with the responsibility of dispatching food and grass. Xiao Lie went to the commander's tent to ask for a battle, and he was so impassioned that Old Duke Wei was infected by his enthusiasm and agreed that he could go to the battle, but as a precaution, he ordered him to follow him behind him and not to act without authorization. After several battles, Xiao Lie fought bravely, and he and Pei Xian cooperated tacitly and made many military exploits together. Only then did the old Duke of Wei gradually feel relieved, and this time he handed over the responsibility of the surprise attack to Xiao Lie and Pei Xian, who had asked for orders on their own. The two of them lived up to expectations, burning the Hu people's food and grass, and made great contributions to the end of the war.
It was snowing heavily, the north wind was howling, and they encountered such bad weather, but the elite light cavalry, which was all composed of young cavalry, returned quickly, but their horses' hooves were flying. Commander Xiao Lie and deputy commander Pei Xian were even more relaxed. That night, when they camped for the night, they slept in the same tent and shared the last half of the bag of wine left in the wine bag. They met to return to the military camp and asked for orders together. , taking advantage of the morale of victory, they went to attack a place called Mutuo that was captured by the barbarians during the previous dynasty. With some drunkenness, he drew his sword and started singing. The young man was passionate and excited. After singing, Pei Xian smiled and said: "Third Highness, you have been out of the capital for more than a year. You have made many meritorious deeds. Not only your father, but also all the soldiers in the army. He is also impressed by His Highness. The triumphal report sent to the capital is indispensable for the praise of His Highness, and Your Majesty will definitely be very happy. Your Highness, have you thought about what kind of reward you will give?"
Of the three sons, Xiao Lie, the youngest, has the most outstanding qualifications, and the emperor also favors him. However, Xiao Lie's biological mother died early, and he had no uncle to rely on. In addition, he was born with a lively personality. In the eyes of others, the prince was kind and the second prince was stable, but the third prince was arrogant and favored, and was secretly called the devil. .
"Bo Ming, if I say that after I capture Mutuo and return to the capital, I don't want any reward from my father, but only want a treasure from your father, my commander-in-chief, what do you think?"
Xiao Lie called out Pei Xian's name, looked at Pei Xian, and smiled.
Pei Xian was startled and looked at him. Seeing him staring at him, his eyes shining slightly, he immediately understood.
His Highness Third Prince and his sister Wen Jing were in love with each other. He was not sure whether his parents knew about this, but he had noticed it a long time ago, but he never revealed it.
I still remember that during the Lantern Festival that year, he took his sister to the lantern market to enjoy the lanterns. There were too many people and he accidentally got separated. Fortunately, his sister was accompanied by a loyal servant. In addition, he had agreed before that if he got separated, he would be there at the lantern market. Meet at the bridge.
When he looked for her, he saw the figure of the Third Highness next to his sister from a distance. The two of them were standing under a willow tree. The Third Highness hung an object that looked like a jade pendant on the willow branch. He didn¡¯t know what he said.man.
But his feeling was so familiar - as if that man was the closest person in his life.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Lie slowly got up from where he was sleeping, stood up, and asked.
Because of that terrible dream, his voice was trembling slightly.
The man stared at him and said: "I came here to tell you something. His Majesty the Emperor will pass away soon. If you go to attack Mutuo again, after you finish the battle, you will return to the capital next spring. By then, the Prince will Having asked His Majesty the Emperor for marriage, she will no longer be your wife for the rest of her life."
The prince has already grown up, but some experts have concluded from the horoscope of the prince's birth date that it is not appropriate for the prince to establish a crown princess early. In addition, in recent years, the prince himself has not cared about this, so he has not been able to appoint a crown prince.
Xiao Lie immediately remembered what he had just seen in his dream and became even more horrified: "Who are you? Where did you come from such ridiculous words? How could the prince ask his father to marry Wen Jing?"
The man stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Xiao Lie immediately chased after him, but couldn't catch up with the man. He watched helplessly as the figure from behind, with his clothes fluttering, was about to disappear from sight at the end of the snowy night.
He was so anxious that he stepped forward to catch up again. He accidentally fell into the snow and screamed. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice beside his ears. Someone called "Your Highness". He woke up and opened his eyes again. , unexpectedly saw Pei Xian sitting up and looking at him. He had just woken him up, and he was still in the tent.
Could everything just now be a dream within a dream?
"Your Highness, what kind of nightmare did you have? I just heard you yelling non-stop, and I was woken up by you. When I woke up, you were still asleep."
Pei Xian said with concern in his eyes.
Xiao Lie was covered in cold sweat. On such a winter night, he felt as if he had just been fished out of the water. He sat there blankly, staring straight ahead, as if there was something there. After a moment, he suddenly He jumped up and rushed out of the tent, only to see the snow in front of him. Under the dark night sky, where was the figure of the man in the dream?
"Your Highness, what happened?"
Pei Xian chased him out and was extremely surprised and suspicious when he saw him standing barefoot in the snow.
Xiao Lie's figure froze for a long time, then turned around suddenly and said in a trembling voice: "Bo Ming, I have something important to do and I must leave for Beijing immediately tonight!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and hurried into the tent, put on his armor, ran quickly to the horse tent, took out his war horse, climbed on the horse's back, and drove away.
In the snowy wilderness, a majestic war horse, driven by a young prince who had just turned eighteen, galloped towards the capital.
Just before waking up from the dream, he was still singing with his sword in high spirits, but at this moment, his heart was full of horror, fear and anxiety. He wished he could spread his wings and immediately fly back to the city in the four directions that was thousands of miles away from him at the moment. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
