One of the two Qianban sent by the Tingwei Mansion was Nie Ye and the other was Fang Baijing, Fang Baijing stayed in La Jia City to assist the general in talking about Kyushu, Nie Ye came to Tubo, and when he was halfway there, he and Fang Bailu rock-paper-scissors, he won, so he followed Shen Leng, but Fang Baijing said that after returning to Chang'an, Nie Ye had to invite him to drink, otherwise whoever lost would go to Shen Leng.

"Rest for a few days before going."

Shen Leng glanced at Nie Ye: "Don't worry." ”

"No, you don't."

Nie Ye took a sip of hot tea, he had already eaten a full meal, and having another sip of hot tea in his stomach couldn't be more beautiful.

"I'll leave tomorrow afternoon, and I'll familiarize myself with your map in the morning."

Shen Leng said: "How many people did you bring?" ”

"Not much, there are too many things in the Chang'an Tingwei Mansion, and the manpower that can be transferred is really limited, only one hundred and twenty people are brought."

"You pick more than two dozen of the most experienced people from your people, and I will ask Chen Ran to select a group of people for you from the scout team, and the scouts in the army are more familiar with the battlefield than your people."

"Okay."

Nie Ye looked at the bed not far away: "I'll rest for a while." ”

Shen Leng: "My ......"

Nie Ye: "What's yours and mine." ”

Chen Ran said: "Silently recorded, An Guogong's bed ushered in a new man. ”

Shen Leng raised his feet, and Chen Ran had already jumped to the side.

"You don't have to bring a lot of people."

Nie Ye threw himself on the bed: "A few dozen people are fine, but the goal is too big." ”

"There's a young man who lent you first, and he's a good seedling."

Shen Leng looked at Chen Ran: "Go and tell Luo Ran, let him prepare to go south with Nie Ye tomorrow." ”

Chen Ran snorted, knowing that Shen Leng was going to promote that young man, but I have to say that Luo Shot is really a good seedling, this person can be in charge of himself with a little more experience, if nothing else, Shen Leng will definitely ask for someone from Kyushu soon.

"I'm going to talk to him."

Chen Ran turned around and went out.

Blackeye asked, "What about us?" What am I doing with Erben? ”

"I want to go too."

The second Daoist looked at Shen Leng: "I also want to go to the south." ”

"Neither of you can go."

"Why?!"

Erben Taoist: "Do you believe that I will give you a coquette?" ”

Shen Leng: "......"

"It's dangerous to go to the south this time, you are not soldiers, although you have fought the battle of Houque, in fact, you are worse than qualified scouts, if you two go with you, I am afraid that you will trap yourself in."

"I'll go."

The second Taoist came over and pulled Shen Leng's arm and shook it back and forth: "No, no, no, people are going to go." ”

Shen Leng kicked out, and Erben jumped aside: "You are a ruthless person, and you still want to beat people." ”

Shen Leng: "Uncle, uncle, you go, you go." ”

Erben laughed: "Don't worry, it's just Tibet, not Heiwu." ”

Blackeye asked, "Do you want to talk to Modeo?" After all, it was in Tibet, and it would have been easier to have someone from him as a guide. ”

"Don't."

Shen Leng immediately shook his head: "Don't treat the Tubo people as allies, don't treat anyone other than Daning as allies, the strong have no allies, and the weak do." ”

The black eye didn't feel any deep meaning in this sentence at first, and it took a while to react, the strong have no allies is not a boast, but a true portrayal, the weak will not be sincere allies with the strong, the purpose must be to take advantage of the strong, and the weak who look humble and obedient in front of the strong have evil intentions in their hearts.

Early the next morning, Chen Ran selected twenty-four experienced veterans from the scout team, plus twenty-four court captains, a total of more than fifty people set off after sorting out their equipment, and this small team quietly left the camp and headed towards the unknown place.

After walking for most of the day, the team found a place to rest, although there was a map, but after all, no one had come, and the Tubo general Yash was a person who was extremely hostile to the Ning people, and when he entered the southeast area of Tubo, he had to be careful with every step.

Arranged for people to take turns on duty at night, Nie Ye ordered that no fire should be lit, and not a single spark should appear, so dinner could only be eaten with a few mouthfuls of dry food and washed down with water, fortunately, even the two Dao people have adapted to such a life.

"Two copies."

The black eye leaned against the dirt slope and asked in a soft voice, "Why don't you go back?" ”

"Why should I go back?"

"Leng Zi asked you to escort Xiao Zhang Zhenren back to Chang'an, but you refused to go back, you are a Taoist, and Taoists should be in the Taoist temple, not on the battlefield."

"You're still a bastard, and you shouldn't be on the battlefield."

"I'm not like you, I'm an official bastard."

“......”

The second Taoist lay there looking at the stars, and suddenly smiled: "It's addictive." ”

"What?"

"Fighting a war will be addictive, living this kind of seemingly bitter but very exciting days will be addictive, the more dangerous it is, the more exciting it is, the more interesting it is, I thought about it seriously that day, if I go back and read and practice every day, I squatted on the street to watch the passing women when I had nothing to do, is it really meaningful to have such a day?"

He looked at the black eyes and said seriously: "Except for squatting on the street and looking at beautiful girls, the others are really boring." ”

Black-eyed burst out laughing.

"I also want to be a big man who is praised and praised."

The second Taoist smiled: "Since the founding of Daning, only the first generation of real people in Longhu Mountain have fought with His Majesty Taizu, and no one has ever gone out with the army since then. ”

He let out a long breath: "A manly man, be a hero." ”

Black-eyed nodded: "Be a masterpiece." ”

About twenty miles away from them, in a small camp of hundreds of people, a Turk man who looked very strong squatted there and said in a low voice: "This time I brought you out to find out the intelligence of the Ning army, everyone needs to remember one thing, once someone is captured alive, you must not say that it is our general's person, and you would rather die than bow to the Ning people." ”

"Yes!"

Hundreds of people all responded, but their voices were kept low.

"You know, the general is my father, but I never mentioned it in the army, because I don't want people to say that I can lead the army because of my father, and this time I personally brought you here, but also to let the whole army know that I rely on my own ability."

He looked around: "One more day will be almost to Modio's fiefdom, and then according to the tactics I formulated before, ten people will be a team, divided into thirty teams to sneak in to find out the news, leaving five ten-person teams as backup, we only need to have two goals, one, kill Modio if he has the opportunity to assassinate, and second, burn the grain and grass of the Ning army." ”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Take turns to rest, and hurry after dawn." ”

After giving the order, he retreated and sat down against a tree, thinking that if he could burn the grain and grass of the Ning army with a fire this time, and then cut Modio with a knife, his father should be impressed with him, right? He is the eldest son, he is not afraid of death, he has been training with his father since he was a teenager, he thinks he has done well enough, but he just doesn't understand why his father cares more about his younger brother Noenhara.

His mother died when he was eleven years old, and before he died, he told him that he must become his father's right-hand man, not to let his father think that he was a waste, he always remembered his mother's words, and no matter what he did, he thought that he would not be appreciated and praised by his father, but shortly after his mother's death, he thought that his father, who cared about his mother, would soon marry a Ning man, and the next year he had an additional brother, and now twenty years have passed, and his father has even forgotten his mother's sacrifice day, and he knows how much his father hates that Ning man, It's just how much I care about her.

His name was Tie Kuang, and he hated his father as well as his brother.

But he hated the Ning people even more.

If it weren't for the cheap woman coming, his father would at least remember his mother's sacrifice day every year, at least he would put on the pillar incense, the most unbearable thing for him was that since his younger brother Ye Nian Yuan was born, he has never felt his father's loving eyes, that kind of look his father gave his younger brother, no matter how hard he tried, his father still only felt that Ye Nian Yuan was better.

"General."

His men lowered their voices and said, "Rest for a while, you haven't rested much along the way." ”

"Hmm."

Tie Kuang snorted: "This time we came out without the general, so we must succeed, only success can be rewarded, if we fail, we will become a joke in other people's mouths." ”

He brought all his own soldiers, of course he knew how aggrieved this eldest prince was, although he was much higher than the second prince in terms of military rank, but he led the troops all the year round, and he didn't see the general a few times a year, and the general didn't allow him to come back casually, because his younger brother didn't like this brother either.

"General, don't worry."

The soldier said: "This time it will definitely succeed, let everyone see that it is you who can really do things, not a person who is a mouthful." ”

Tie Kuang was stunned, and said to himself: "If you are showing off your mouth and saying some sweet words to make your father care, why bother desperately?" Who wants to work hard? ”

The pro-soldiers were speechless for a moment.

"I have been training with the army since I was eleven years old, and the scars on my body can add up to hundreds, how my father trains the army, I will redouble my requirements, you have suffered less than half of me, but my father still thinks that I am not good enough, I think I am useless, I led the army to exterminate thousands of Liukou, and wrote a letter to my father to report the good news, and my father replied with only three words...... Got it. ”

He lay there looking at the night sky: "I didn't even bother to praise me for a word, I later led the army to the southwest to attack a border pass in the Dazhi country, killing hundreds of border troops in the Dazhi country, and seizing countless weapons and armor...... In vain? ”

He smiled bitterly: "Ye Nianyuan shook his head in front of his father all day long, he thought that Wild Nianhara was very good, I made myself scarred, and he thought I was stupid." ”

The soldiers around him didn't know how to talk, so they had to listen quietly.

"If I have the opportunity, I must fulfill my father's wish, if I kill more Ning people, my father will understand that I am his helper."

Tie Kuang touched the scimitar beside him: "In the future, I will definitely kill him with my own hands, he is also half a Ning person." ”
