Not Deer City.

Tie Kuang only returned with more than a hundred scouts, and he couldn't say that he got nothing, but it was too far from his expectations, so he felt that he had no shame to face his father, not to mention that he lost the iron gun that his father gave him, for so many years he had regarded that iron gun as his most precious thing, it was the only thing he could feel his father's love.

General's Mansion, when Tie Kuang entered the door, he looked around, the mansion was already very empty, basically the things that needed to be taken away had been loaded, and the things that could not be taken away had been destroyed, and he knew that his father would never leave it for Ning Ren, not even a piece of paper.

There is a lotus pond in the yard that is not very big, and the lotus pond is bare this season, and even the originally cheerful fish do not know where to hide, let alone know if they can survive this winter without feeding them.

His father was standing on the edge of the lotus pond, and at the moment he saw his father, he was stunned, because he found that his father's waist was not as straight as he had remembered, and then he came to his senses, and before he knew it, his father was almost sixty years old.

"Father."

Tie Kuang took a few steps and bowed.

"Suffered?"

Jash didn't look back, still looking at the lotus pond and asked.

"Yes......"

"If only you could come back."

Jash let out a sigh, "But you're wrong. ”

"I ......"

Tie Kuang knelt down on one knee: "Please punish the general." ”

This big general is his last stubbornness.

"Get up, I wanted to punish you, but this time is not right, I said that you are wrong is different from my thinking, if you put aside this and talk about your approach, it is not wrong, you are a soldier, my son, and the person I taught, so you have a kind of courage and responsibility in your bones, you want to protect Tubo, protect every inch of land here, because of this you went to find trouble with the Ning people, I have no reason to punish a soldier who wants to protect his family and defend the country, let alone lose his temper with a son who remembers his father's teachings."

Tie Kuang's nose was sour: "Father...... It was me who was wrong. ”

"Where there is so much right and wrong."

Tie Kuang turned to look at his son, and there was a rare love in his eyes that he rarely appeared.

"Right or False......

He pointed to the pavilion not far away, and Tie Kuang immediately stepped along.

Jash said as he walked: "I secretly contacted the Ning people in order to send the young master to the royal court safely, do you say it is right or wrong?" ”

Tie Kuang was stunned, this question is really difficult to answer.

"Father can't be wrong."

"I don't know right or wrong...... I have said to my subordinates more than once that from the moment they put on the military uniform, everyone's life is not their own, but this country, when this country needs us to pay for our lives, that is our glory, but people will always face all kinds of difficult choices, rest and Houque Lou Ran people occupy our royal court, the royal court will not return, Tubo will be destroyed, what is the country? The country is the faith in the hearts of the people, and if the country cannot be taken back, the faith is not there. ”

"I've always been conflicted, if we stick to this place, it should be the best choice, don't care about the royal court, as long as you don't assist the young master in this city, you may not be able to persevere, but the kid ...... The Ning people will not let us live in peace and according to their own hearts, the Ning people will not attack us, and they will also release the rest of the people and the armies of the Western Regions, rather than this, it is better for us to cooperate with the Ning people, and give it to the Ning people here, so that we can go out safely and fight with the rest of the people and fight those traitors. ”

"Tubo is not just us, when the young master returns to the royal court and shouts, I believe that there will be countless Tubo people rushing there

The royal court, they will take up arms to guard the capital and guard the last dignity of Tibet. ”

This is the first time in so many years that Yash and Tie Kuang have talked a lot, so Tie Kuang was in a trance for a while, he didn't hear everything his father said, but he thought that it would be good if it went on like this, his father said that he listened, as if his father held him on his lap when he was a child, and gave him those mythical stories.

There are heroes in every mythological story, either one or many, so from that time on, Tie Kuang wanted to be a hero, and later he found that the original hero was by his side, and his father was the most real hero.

"Kid."

Jash sat down in the gazebo and patted the place next to him, "Come." ”

Tie Kuang was a little flattered, and hurriedly sat down beside his father, but he was a little cramped and uneasy, and Yash was a little distressed to see his reaction.

"I know that I've been too harsh with you all these years, and I haven't praised you no matter what you do, you think I'm biased...... I'm not biased, I want to hand over these tens of thousands of troops to you, no matter how good you do, I don't think it's good enough because I know you can do better, if there is no war, the Shenlu Army will be in your hands, not Ye Nianyuan. ”

Tie Kuang's eyes were red, and he got up and fell to the ground: "I disappointed my father." ”

"Nope."

Jash stretched out his hand to help Tie Kuang up: "You have never let me down, I know everything you have done, and I want to praise you, but I don't want you to be complacent, I told you when you were a child, and in the future you will also wear battle armor and become a hero of Tibet...... But now, it doesn't matter whether we are heroes or not, the important thing is that we must return to the royal court no matter what means we use, so that the banner of Tubo will continue to flutter in the city of the royal court. ”

He beckoned into the distance: "Bring the things over." ”

Two soldiers came over with a spear, and Jash got up and grabbed the spear: "I have used three iron spears in my life, the one I gave you before was my first weapon, I used it from the age of fifteen to twenty-six, and I used it for eleven years, and this spear was the heaviest one of the spears I used from the age of twenty-six to the age of forty-five, and now I don't have so much strength to use it all the time, I will pass it on to you." ”

He threw the spear out, and Tie Kuang grabbed it.

"Be my vanguard."

Jash let out a breath slowly: "If our father and son can escort the young master back to the royal court, at least we are worthy of this battle robe on our body, and we are also worthy of the iron spear in our hands." ”

"Yes!"

Tie Kuang knelt down on one knee with an iron gun in both hands: "I will take the vanguard army to the forefront!" ”

Ningjun camp.

Shen Leng looked at the map in front of him, playing with a golden hairpin in his hand, this hairpin he took out from time to time and held it in his hand, because this hairpin was not collected by him to give to the tea master during this time, but the first golden hairpin he gave to the tea master, at that time he had just entered the water division not long ago, and used a gold ingot to create the first hairpin for the tea master, and the rest of the gold was also put into the purse and put in the tea master's hand.

Later, the tea master wanted to take his hairpin with him all the time, and the tea master engraved two words on the golden hairpin, one is cold, and the other is tea.

He looked down at the hairpin, and suddenly laughed, and he remembered the scene when the tea master handed him the hairpin.

"Why is it a cold word and a tea word?"

Shen Leng looked at the tea master: "Shouldn't it be Yanzi?" ”

The tea master replied as a matter of course: "It's not good." ”

Shen sneered, put the hairpin into his arms, and he turned his head to look at Chen Ran and them: "Give the Wuzi battalion an order, if Yash's army arrives, open the city gate and let it go." ”

Chen Ran immediately responded and ordered the herald to rush to the Demon Mountain Pass.

"Are you hesitating?"

Chen Ran looked at Shen Leng after arranging people: "What are you hesitating about?" ”

"Jash is a respectable enemy, and so is his son Tie Kuang."

Shen Leng looked away from the map: "I've always wondered if I were replaced by them, would my choice be the same as his...... There aren't so many ifs, so I don't know the answer, but I think we should give them a chance to protect their dignity, let it go, Tie Kuang also let it go, and think about it for a few days, let him kill a few more resters. ”

Fang Baijing and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, because they knew that this decision was the right one.

"Send someone to contact Jash."

Shen Leng looked at Nie Ye: "I want to meet him." ”

Nie Ye nodded: "I'll arrange someone now." ”

Shen Leng looked at Yang Hatshui, the general of the Gengzi battalion standing on the side: "After Yash's people left Bulu City, General Lao Fu brought 10,000 troops over, Bulu City is an important place in the southeast, and it can hold Bulu City steadily, not only can control this area, but also open a passage to the big branch country, and send people to lead the army to attack the big branch country, the Western Regions Alliance will be more dispersed, although the big branch country only has less than 10,000 troops over there, but as soon as the big branch country withdraws its troops, other small countries in the Western Regions will also be shaken." ”

Yang hated the water and leaned over: "Humble immediately go and rectify the soldiers and horses." ”

"There's no hurry."

Shen Leng said: "Wait until I meet with Yash before I bring the troops over." ”

Yang Hatshui was a little puzzled: "Why wait until after meeting?" ”

Shen Leng was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Let him go on the road with peace of mind." ”

He walked slowly to the door and looked at the world outside that was gradually depressed: "Send someone to send a letter to General Tan, winter is coming, it's time to end this messy war, and it's time to let those self-righteous people in the Western Regions experience what it means to be hurt." ”

"Yes!"

All stood in silence.

Shen Leng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "They have been making trouble for long enough. ”

At the same time, Chang'an, Weiyang Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

The emperor sat at the desk and looked at the map of the Hundred Kingdoms of the Western Regions spread on the table, frowned and pondered for a while, and got up: "This battle has dragged on long enough, from the beginning of the war, Kyushu sent someone to send me a note, he said that the end of this battle should be in winter, I understand what he means, the food and grass consumption of the people in the Western Regions has reached the limit, and they will have a very difficult time in winter...... They are uncomfortable, but I can't make my soldiers who are fighting for the country in the western frontier uncomfortable. ”

He looked at Lai Cheng: "Did I ask the cabinet to inform the ministries that the supplies prepared had been sent?" ”

"It was sent out two months ago, it was escorted by the group of young people from the Martial Academy, calculating that the day should be almost to La Liga City, according to His Majesty's orders, at least two winter coats per person, to be able to change and wash, and more than two pairs of cotton boots per person, these materials have been counted by the ministers, and there are no omissions."

Lai Cheng leaned over and said: "In addition to winter clothes, the military rations dispatched by the household department should also be sent to La Liga City, and the most important thing is that the team in the north can also be withdrawn." ”

The emperor snorted: "After this battle is over, I can also completely arrange the last unstable place in Daning." ”

He let out a sigh of relief: "Prairie, ......"

His gaze fell on the map, the vast grassland.

"I haven't been to the prairie yet."

The emperor looked at Lai Cheng: "Who do you think is suitable for the first protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate?" ”

"Isn't Your Majesty already having someone in mind?"

Lai Cheng smiled: "Who else is more suitable than Lord Han?" ”

The emperor also laughed: "Yes...... I promised him. ”
