Chapter 566: Black Wind Chaser
Chapter 566: Black Wind Chaser
It's dark, but the hot wind is still blowing, and the Chang'an City in the north can't be quiet.
When I returned home, the courtyard was so calm, looking at Linglong's soft and weeping face, Fang Yiai's heart seemed to have been pricked by a needle. Needless to say, they already knew about the expedition, and as far as they could see, the women were all there, but only Changle was missing.
"Husband, how can you say that a war is a war?" Linglong said that tears flowed out, I wanted to spend this summer with peace of mind, but who knew that this man had only been back for a few days, and such a thing happened.
Touching Linglong's face, Fang Yiai smiled worriedly, "Who would have expected this, if you fight, you will fight, can you laugh, you can't let your husband cry and leave, right?" ”
"Hmm!" Linglong wiped the corners of his eyes with interest, and led Fang Yiai into the house, only to find Changle lying on the couch wrapped in a quilt as an ostrich.
Seeing Changle like this, the women had to disperse, there was no one in the house, Fang Yiai slowly walked towards the collapse, patted Changle's buttocks left outside, Fang Yiai said loudly, "Changle, what are you doing, this hot day is covered with a quilt, aren't you afraid of going wrong?" ”
Changle was angry in her heart, and after listening to Fang Yuai's words, she pulled her body out, she stood on the edge of the couch, regardless of the tears in the corners of her eyes, and beat her arms fiercely, "You ruthless husband, such a big deal, why didn't you tell the concubine earlier?" ”
Fang Yiai grinned secretly, saying that it was like this later, if you say it early, then I don't know what it will become, "Changle, don't be like this, everyone in our courtyard looks at your face, I don't want to be like this for my husband." ”
"No, the concubines are going to cry, whoever wants to laugh will let them laugh!" Changle shook her head stubbornly, she raised her hazy eyes, and her jade hand trembled slightly and touched Fang Yiai's rough cheeks, "Husband, you said how long we have been married, but you always run out, this time it's good, and you have to go with the army to Puchanghai, the concubine is really worried!" ”
The pain in Changle's heart is indescribable, this pain is partly due to the worry about the love of the house, and the other part is due to the fear of the future.
Fang Yiai couldn't say anything comforting, no matter what kind of guarantee he made, he was so confident, because he had promised many times before, but he always broke his oath, so this time, Fang Yiai didn't say anything at all.
After a long time, Fang Yiai patted Changle's pink back, "Changle, I believe that if you are a husband, you will be fine!" ”
"Well, husband, this expedition is no longer than usual, and the concubine hopes that you can think more about the people in your family!"
This dinner before leaving is always so depressing, Fang Yiai doesn't want to be like this, but it can't change the mood of the women, not to mention that there is a Lu who is secretly crying. The atmosphere on the table was a little dull, Fang Xuanling was also eating a little awkwardly, he knocked on the table and said with a kind smile, "Okay, it's all a face, Jun'er is not the first time to go on the expedition!" ”
Cheng Ling'er doesn't think so, who can say for sure about this war, "Father, why do you want Fang Jun to go to this war?" Cheng Ling'er was angry, everything else had blood and bones, and he didn't know how Li Shimin would agree to Hou Junji's proposal.
"Ling'er, Hugh has to talk nonsense!" Fang Yiai turned her head and glared at Cheng Ling'er, causing Cheng Ling'er to pout and pick up the meal.
Fang Xuanling didn't care about this scratch, but stroked his beard and smiled, "What Ling'er said is right, but the court has already decided, and there is no possibility of changing." ”
After dinner, Fang Xuanling led his two sons to the study, and Fang Xuanling understood that the old man had something to explain.
"Jun'er, you must be very careful when you go to Puchanghai this time, and Your Majesty will let Shubao garrison Suzhou as a backup!"
Fang Yiai seemed to understand what the old man meant, he frowned and thought about it, and said in a low voice, "Father, you mean Hou Junji?" ”
"Hehe, I can't say for my father, it's better to be more careful, now you are too conspicuous!"
"Well, the child will pay attention, but the affairs of Jiangnan will trouble the father to take care of it more!"
Fang Yiai nodded with a smile, "Okay, Jun'er, you don't have to have too much burden, I think the Turks don't plan to be a comprehensive enemy of my Datang this time, maybe this Gaochang matter can be done without a fight." ”
Fang Yiai smiled bitterly and shook his head, this old man is too optimistic, it is still possible to put the original history, this time, there is not much hope, since the Turks dare to drink Ma Tianshan, they are ready to meet the Tang Army.
At three o'clock the next day, martial law began at the west gate of Chang'an, and the army of the Western Expedition slowly walked by, and Fang Yiai, who was dressed in military uniform, rode a horse and walked in front. Riding on the horse, feeling the breeze of the early morning, Fang Yiai just looked closely at the Yangguan Ancient Road in front of him, but as for the people behind him, he couldn't bear to look back.
Li Ji, Hou Junji, Xue Wanjun, Qin Qiong, Zhang Liang, the five generals are lined up, and the final outcome of this western expedition depends on how these five bigwigs strategize.
The sun rose, but the army gradually moved away with the morning sun on his back, Li Mingda was younger in the end, and he cried in the arms of Empress Sun Changsun, "Mother, Mingda is afraid, woo woo!" ”
"Little son, don't be afraid, since you are a Tang man, you should be like this!" Empress Changsun had to say something against her will, she didn't know how long she could deceive Li Mingda with such words, she was also a man, Fang Yiai was going to fight on the battlefield, but the princes stayed in Chang'an City to watch the scenery.
The army left, the crowd dispersed, Xu Hui also got into the carriage by himself, looking at Xu Hui who was leaving coldly, Xu Xian sighed silently, why should this sister be like this, her brother-in-law is going to go on the expedition, but she didn't say a word of nostalgia.
Gave up Xu Xian, but Xu Hui hugged her head and was sad in the carriage, she was really embarrassed, looking at the love of Fang under the morning sun, she had a feeling of worry for the first time. As for why this is so, Xu Hui can't say clearly.
Two days later, the westward army arrived in Yizhou, and with the yellow sand and fierce screams in the sky, the men of the Tang Dynasty finally saw what it means to be difficult to travel.
The land of the Western Regions has complex terrain, especially in the Yizhou area, where the south is a desert and the west is also the Gobi Desert. If it's good in winter, but in this July day, if you walk through the desert, you will not die and will shed your skin.
Pu Changhai can stop the Turkic 8,000 Left Guard Division, no matter how difficult it is, you have to drive this group of people away first, otherwise with these people, the Tang Army will not let alone enter Gaochang Country in the west, and it is estimated that even Yizhou will not dare to come out.
Who to send to Puchanghai, Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun glanced at each other, and they set their eyes on Fang Yiai.
"Fang Jun, this time you will lead the people of the headquarters to coerce Pu Changhai, can you have confidence?" Xue Wanjun raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Fang Yiai scolded his mother in his love, can this be said to be okay, this soldier hates others the most and asks this, looking at Xue Wanjun's eyes, Fang Yiai immediately arched his hand and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”
"Good!" Hou Junji applauded applauded, despite this, Fang Yiai always felt that this Hou Junji had ulterior motives, could it be that someone in his room had a black belly again?
Back to the camp, Fang Yiai gathered his subordinates, this expedition, Long Huwei sent 10,000 troops, Zuo Wuwei 20,000, it can be said that Fang Yiai has become a veritable boss in the army, there are many people, there are many things. As soon as I heard Hou Junji and their nagging, Fang Yiai had to hold a meeting with his own small team.
"Brother Xiang, Ming said that Ben will lead half of the men and horses to the south to force Pu Changhai, and you will lead the others to stay in Yizhou City!"
"Yes, Major General!" Xiang Shuo will not argue about anything, because from which point of view, Fang Yiai is the most suitable person to lead the army, although he Xiang Shuo is a little capable, but he doesn't know much about this desert Gobi Desert, let alone fighting in the desert.
The next day, before dawn, a team of camels slowly left Yizhou City, Fang Yiai became a father this time, and more than half of the baggage of the whole army was water, and even the dry food did not bring much. This goes to the desert, the first is afraid of sandstorms, the second is afraid of no water to drink, Fang Yiai doesn't want his group of people to pee and drink, although the human body is circulating, green and pollution-free, but who can stand the smell of scratching.
Wen Luo had a big hat wrapped around his head, his face was also tightly covered, and his clothes were still black, at first glance, he looked like an Arab refugee.
Fang Yiai wiped the sweat on his head while walking, "Luo girl, don't let you come, you will come, you will suffer later!" ”
I didn't want to take a woman with me on this expedition, but I couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the women's army, and finally led the Luo Woman out.
Swallowing his saliva, Wen Luo blinked painfully, "Fang Jun, don't you talk nonsense, you should be willing to be this girl, if it weren't for my sister's force, this girl wouldn't have come to Yizhou with you to suffer this crime." After scratching the jail, Wen Luo stretched out a small white hand.
"What?" Fang Yiai is inexplicable, why do you have nothing to do with your hand, do you feel the temperature of the desert?
"Don't play stupid, water, give me the water bag, I'm thirsty!" Wen Luo glared very seriously.
Fang Yiai pursed her mouth and said speechlessly, "Luo girl, don't you have a water bag, what do you want me to do?" ”
"Can it be the same, this girl is reluctant!" Wen Luo's words are quite domineering, which makes Fang Yiai almost crazy, this woman is too unreasonable, and she doesn't feel distressed when she drinks other people's together.
"If you don't give it, you have to drink your own!" Fang Yiai covered his water bag with both hands, and the bull's eyes glared at the boss, Luo Nuxia would not listen to this, and reached out to grab it, so Fang Yiai ran up, and the speed was much stronger than that of a camel.
Western Tarim, the masterpiece of heaven, if you say that the most complicated place in the Western Regions, it is around the Tarim Basin, there are oases, deserts, and rivers. The Tarim Desert is the most testing area, walking here, maybe you can't bear it at this moment, but you can see the gratifying oasis in the next step, maybe you are still tasting the sweet rain of the lake at this moment, but the next moment you may suffer the baptism of tornadoes.
The camel team walked very slowly, but Fang Yiai did not dare to relax a little, he was always on guard, on guard against this annoying God, and even more on guard against the Turks in the distance.
In the desert not far away, there were thousands of hazy figures, all of them in black robes, and even their faces were tightly wrapped in a long black cloth, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. The horses chiseled through the soft sand and made a series of snorts.
"General Zheriye, the Han people are already twenty miles away from the hard beach!"
A black-robed man nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the sons behind him drew the scimitar at his waist. The scimitars used by these people were very different from the usual Turkic scimitars, which were longer and thinner.
"A team of 100 people, wait for the Han people to enter the hard ground, and attack immediately! Kill them all, whether it's a human or a camel! ”
As soon as the black-robed man gave the order, there was a cry of "wow" around him.
Fang Yiai walked with difficulty, with this marching speed, Ma Yue can reach Puchanghai in the Year of the Monkey. At this time, Wen Luo was in no mood to make trouble with Fang Yiai, this woman was as hot as a pug, fanning the wind vigorously, but unfortunately all the fans were hot air, except for wasting effort, it was useless.
Coming all the way from the desert, Fang Yiai admired Mo Qishi a little, he really deserved to be a child who grew up in the Gobi Desert, and he was better than others when he walked into the desert.
Although the walk was painful, Fang Yiai was still a little relieved, because he could already see some camel grass, and he thought that he had reached the edge of the desert. After this relaxation, Fang Yiai planned to let the brothers rest, and as soon as he raised his hand to look at the sun, he heard Mo Qishi cry out in panic.
"Major General, quick, there is an enemy!"
As Mo Qishi shouted, he saw hazy figures appear in the sand dunes not far away, they were not wearing cloth armor, but they were all dressed in black robes.
Instinctively, Fang Yiai felt that he had met a strong enemy, "Mo Qishi, who are these people?" ”
"Left Guard, Moon Sword Wind Chaser!" (To be continued.) )
