"Old ...... Master, why don't you sleep in bed too! Yuechan lay on the bed and struggled for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak, although the voice was very small, and nervous with a trill, but in this silent night, she could still hear it very clearly, but after speaking, Yuechan herself was ashamed to cover her head with a quilt, and the blood in her whole body seemed to be all pouring to her head, and she could only hear her heart beating non-stop.

However, Yuechan waited for a long time under the quilt, but found that there was no movement outside, which made her a little strange, and finally mustered up the courage to pull the quilt again, only to find that Li Xiu, who was lying on the floor, did not move, but found a slight snoring, as if he had already fallen asleep.

This discovery made Yuechan can't help but show a disappointed expression, and then she covered her head again with some anger, but in the bed, she couldn't help whispering to herself: "I never heard you snore, but today you snore!" ”

Early the next morning, when Li Xiu got up, he thought that Yuechan would prepare breakfast for herself, but she found that Yuechan was lying on the bed and had not woken up, and he did not wake her up, but went to make something by himself, and then woke up Yuechan to eat together, but Yuechan seemed very uncomfortable.

After breakfast, Li Xiu and they immediately went on the road again, day and night to Shuozhou, although Yuechan can ride a horse, but after all, it can't be compared with a man, so later Li Xiu let her sit in the carriage of animal items, after all, they have so many people traveling, they must carry a lot of things, so there are also some carriages in the team, of course, it is certainly not as comfortable as the carriage that sits on people.

After nearly ten days of hurrying, Li Xiu and his party finally came out of Yanmen Pass to Shuozhou, in Li Xiu's mind, since Shuozhou is a military town, it must be a military fortress with high walls and deep cities, but when he came to Shuozhou, he found that although heavy troops are stationed here, the city wall is not very high, the only advantage is that the terrain is very dangerous, except for the east, the other three sides are surrounded by high mountains, so the city wall is only built in the east pass.

However, even if there is only one city wall, it is now very dilapidated, the city wall is full of holes, revealing the loess layer inside, it is said that this city wall was built by the Qin Dynasty, and there is an interesting legend about this city wall, because Shuozhou is mainly built by the Qin Dynasty in order to prevent the Huns, but when the city wall was first built, the city wall was always collapsed by itself, and then there was a god horse running back and forth outside the city wall, which made the officials who built the city wall very strange, Later, the wall was built according to the footprints of the horse, and it never collapsed again.

After the Qin Dynasty built this city wall, although there were several wars here, the descendants generally only repaired the original city wall, so the main body of this city wall was still built by the Qin Dynasty, but no matter how strong the city wall is, it can't withstand the erosion of time, making this city wall look extremely dilapidated now, which also makes Li Xiu can't help but worry about whether it can block the enemy's attack?

"The last general, Zhang Gongjin, see Yan Guogong!" As soon as Li Xiu came to the outside of Shuozhou City, he saw a middle-aged general with someone coming forward to greet him, only to see that the other party was of medium stature, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and good facial features, and three strands of long beard floating on his chest, looking extremely heroic, it was the far-sighted Zhang Gongjin.

"General Zhang is polite, I saw the general's twists and turns in His Majesty, and I also agree very much with the six reasons listed by the general to attack the Turks, and I have long wanted to talk to the general. Li Xiu also hurriedly stepped forward to salute Zhang Gongjin when he saw him, he was also the first time he saw Zhang Gongjin, and he had always admired talented people very much.

Seeing Li Xiu so polite, Zhang Gongjin was also very happy, and warmly welcomed them into Shuozhou City, he was appointed as the deputy commander of the Middle Route Army, and he was previously serving as the governor of Daizhou, very close to Shuozhou, so he came to Shuozhou earlier than Li Xiu, and had already taken over the defense here, and even the army had been mobilized, waiting for Li Jing to come and preside over military affairs.

"Brother Zhang, you are very powerful this time, as the main force to attack the Turks, I am afraid I don't know how many people will be jealous of you!" Just as he was entering the city, he suddenly saw Ma Ye also step forward and smile at Zhang Gongjin.

"Brother Ma, why are you here?" When Zhang Gongjin saw Ma Ye, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression and said, there were so many people just now, he only cared about greeting Li Xiu, and didn't see Ma Ye in the crowd at all, and he remembered that Ma Ye was not appointed, so it shouldn't be possible to appear in the army attacking the Turks this time, right?

"Haha, I'm not worried about this kid, so this time I temporarily served as the head of his guard, so as not to hurt the princess and feel distressed!" Ma Ye laughed at this time and pointed at Li Xiudao, he and Zhang Gongjin are acquaintances, although they don't have much friendship, but they also admire each other's strategy and talent, so they took the initiative to show up.

Hearing Ma Ye's words, Li Xiu also smiled slightly, in fact, Ma Ye followed him this time not only for his safety, because Li Shimin had handed over the Fei Nu Division to Ma Ye again, and this time the attack on the Turks needed the assistance of the Fei Nu Division, so after Ma Ye came to the front line, he could better use the power of the Fei Nu Division to assist the army in attacking the Turks.

"Haha~, the horse and the princess have a deep relationship, and it is also a beautiful conversation in my Tang Dynasty, with the protection of Brother Ma, we will be more assured of the safety of the rear!" Zhang Gongjin is also very good at talking, and laughed again at the moment.

Li Xiu and Zhang Gongjin met for the first time, and they didn't know what to say, but having such an acquaintance as Ma Ye alleviated the strangeness of the two, and the three of them talked and laughed along the way, and finally came to the Governor's Mansion of Shuozhou City.

At this time, it was already afternoon, Zhang Gongjin received the news that Li Xiu and they were coming yesterday, so he had already prepared a reception banquet in the Governor's Mansion, Li Xiu and Ma Ye, Xu Jingzong, Cen Wenwen and others also entered the banquet, at this time Li Xiu found that Zhang Gongjin and Cen Wenwen were also very familiar, but it is not surprising to think about it, after all, they were all Li Shimin's henchmen before, and it is normal to know each other.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Xiu and Zhang Gongjin are also familiar with each other, Zhang Gongjin first asked about Li Xiu's itinerary on the road, to which Li Xiu also answered, and then their words turned to the topic, only to see Li Xiu said with a solemn face at this time: "General Zhang, I don't know what the situation on the grassland is now, and how many troops are stationed here in Shuozhou City, and how many grain and grass materials have been prepared?" ”
