The old man sighed, his tone full of mixed feelings. When the Shatuo people were still in the moraine, they began to sell their lives to the Tang Dynasty, and later sold their lives to the Tubo people for a period of time. When he rejoined the Tang Dynasty, the man of Shatuo fought all his life, which seemed to be doomed.

It is precisely because of this that the men of Shatuo have hardly had to do anything else since they were young, and they specialize in practicing the art of riding and shooting, spears, spears, swords, and killing. The Han people in the Tang Dynasty were twenty-two years old, and the recruitment of sergeants was generally done by becoming a ding. But a boy from the Shatuo tribe is officially considered a warrior as long as he reaches the age of fourteen. Even many people have joined the army at the age of twelve or thirteen, such as Li Keyong, who was already famous in Daibei when he was young. When he was fourteen years old, he officially went south with Li Zhenwu to suppress the Pang Xun Rebellion with the Tang Army. In that year, he was captured by the sealed clouds. And the fourteen-year-old Han people cannot be compared with them.

"Do you have a woman?" The old soldier asked.

Li Siyuan shook his head a little shyly.

The old soldier smiled, "Fourteen years old, we are warriors in the Shatuo clan." What's more, you have now become the righteous son of the queen, and you don't have to worry about the future in the future. The early death of your father will make it more important for you to marry a wife and have children. The responsibility of the men of the Shatuo tribe is to fight a war, and the other is to give birth to a son. How's that, do you have a crush? ”

Li Siyuan shook his head, he had been staying in Shenwu River, where many Shatuo people lived. But he was only in a small village. There are already fewer girls his age. And because his father didn't let him read a little Han Chinese books. Therefore, his vision is inevitably a little like that of the Han people, and he does not have a good impression of those Shatuo women who are five big and three thick. What he admired more was the fair lady in the poetry book.

"You haven't paid for the taste of a little woman, and you don't understand anything. What is so beautiful about the women of the Han people, they are all soft and weak, like sick seedlings, and we can blow them away as soon as the wind blows. If you are looking for women, you have to find those who are long and stout. The kind that has big tits and big buttocks, you have to grow strong, so that you can work and give birth, especially remember that the baby will have milk in the future, and the child can be raised. And if the butt is big, you can have more children. ”

Li Siyuan suddenly looked up and saw a servant woman behind a carriage in front of him, about thirty years old. It's really strong, and it has a kind of tiger's back. The feeling of a big shoulder and a round waist. Those arms were almost as thick as her legs. And that waist is really thicker than a bucket. Especially the woman's buttocks, which were simply a mountain of meat, he thought to himself, if he married such a woman, if she quarreled and sat on her ass, she could suffocate people to death.

"Mrs. Liu is not what you say!" Li Siyuan suddenly thought of Li Keyong's wife, Liu, the woman who was now his stepmother. Before he went to Zhigu Pass, he came to Lingqiu City to meet the Liu family once. Liu's appearance is not as good as the veteran said, but like a gentle lady, with a beautiful face, Ana's posture, slender legs, and a graceful figure. She didn't look big at all, as if she were his sister.

She smiled beautifully, and the first time we met, she smiled toothlessly at his shallow face. Her eyes, in particular, were as dark as black, and when she looked at him, it was as if her eyes could speak. At that time, he blushed all at once.

How could she marry Li Ya'er, the young man suddenly felt a little irritated in his heart, and he was not used to calling Li Keyong his father-in-law. In his opinion, although Li Keyong has a brave reputation, he is blind in one eye and has a fierce face, which is really not worthy of the Liu family.

It's really a flower stuck in cow dung.

He suddenly remembered the general he had seen from afar during the thrilling raid at Naoya Pass. It is said that that person was Li Jing, the envoy of the Zhendong Army, who had even been praised by the Son of Heaven. In terms of age, I heard that he is two years older than Li Keyong, but looking at his appearance, Li Keyong seems to be ten years older than Li Jing. When Li Jing rode on a horse, he was really majestic.

Liu and Li Jing are very compatible, and a thought inexplicably flashed through his mind.

Then, suddenly, he thought about the four young generals who had almost left him behind. Those four demeanors were no less than Li Jing, it was the four of them who took a group of soldiers and horses to find a path to go around Zhigu Pass, and suddenly entered the Guancheng, and finally made the Guancheng lost.

Although he almost died at the hands of those four people several times, in retrospect, he was still amazed by the unstoppable demeanor of those four men. He even envied them a little, if only he had such a demeanor.

Li Siyuan didn't listen to what the veteran was saying on the side, until he woke up and heard the veteran ask him: "So, you are among the dozens of horsemen who entered the city in the evening?" ”

Li Siyuan nodded thoughtfully.

"Which one is attacking Zhigu Pass, Zhang Gongsu, Li Maoxun or Li Keju, or Li Jing?"

"It's Li Jing's Zhendong Army, with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. However, the Gao family general in Yanzhou has already attached himself to Li Jing. ”

The old army was surprised for a while, he didn't expect it to be the result he thought was the most unlikely, he shook his head and said: "It's not bad, although Zhigu Pass is dangerous, there are only 1,000 men and horses, and the opponent has 20,000 soldiers." ”

Li Siyuan felt as if his face was on fire, and hurriedly explained: "Although Li Jing has 20,000 soldiers and horses, they only used 1,000 people to break through the Zhigu Pass. ”

"Ahh After a long time, he asked again: "Do you say that the city guard of Ulzhou lives?" ”

"Can't hold it!"

"For what?"

"Because that's what Mrs. Liu said." The boy said firmly. For Mrs. Liu's words, he seemed to be unconditionally convinced. "I feel that Li Zhenwu and the Empress Stay were a little careless this time, and the reaction of the imperial court was too intense. Mrs. Liu said that it was too impulsive to stay, and we will suffer a big loss this time. Especially the soldiers and horses of the east and west, Li Jing and Yu Xuan, are very powerful for the master and apprentice, and Mrs. Liu is very jealous of them. Said that if they hadn't come to beg for it, maybe they would have been able to fight a dozen, but they killed from both sides. We don't have the slightest hope. ”

Although Mrs. Liu is a one-price woman. But the whole Shatuo army seemed to have a lot of respect for her. And not just because she is the wife of the young patriarch. It's the kind of natural kindness that this woman shows, as well as the kind of virtuous and intelligent, and now some people in the army even begin to call her the female Han Xin. Li Ya'er is like a fierce horse, no one can surrender, but in front of her, she can always moisten him in the spring breeze and drizzle.

"Won't Mrs. Liu go with you?" The old soldier asked.

"Mrs. Liu is in the city, she wants to leave the last." Li Siyuan had finally mustered up the courage and planned to stay to protect her. But she smiled and arranged for him to be responsible for escorting the convoy back to the Shatuo base camp in Shuozhou first.

The autumn rain was misty, and Liu Yunniang stood on the head of the city a little dazedly, looking into the distance silently, just like a Wangfu stone.

On such a rainy night, she couldn't see anything, and she didn't want to see him come back in her heart. When you come back at such a time, there is only one possibility, and that is that the husband loses.

But if she didn't come back, she was worried that she would not be able to come back after being injured on the battlefield, or even simply died in battle?

She was the only one on the city wall and a group of maids. This group of maids are some orphan girls carefully selected by her, and they all have great strength. With a little training, she became her sword guard. They are all Shatuo people, and even if they are women, they can ride horses from an early age.

There was no one else in the city but them. As early as after Li Siyuan fled back from Zhigu Pass City and brought back the news that Li Jing of the Zhendong Army led 20,000 troops to kill and had broken through Zhigu Pass, she had already decided to evacuate Lingqiu City as soon as possible.

There were originally 3,000 people in Lingqiu City, but most of these soldiers were old and weak and newly recruited, and even if there was a city wall, they would never be Li Jing's opponents. He had heard the name Li Jing, and a lot of things about him had been heard from the merchants on the plug. The Dengzhou goods of Ziqing have long become the most popular commodities of merchants from all over the world. Countless merchants flocked to Dengzhou, and then sold Dengzhou's goods to various places, and by the way, brought all kinds of rumors about Dengzhou Li Jing and Zhendongjun to various places.

The rumored Li Jing is young but promising, born in a peasant family, but in a short period of time, he has become a prince of a town. Although he does not have the name of the festival marshal, he has already had the reality of Fang Zhen. The Zhendong Legion he formed single-handedly was brave and good at fighting, and his martial arts were impressive. Shamen Town and Dengzhou, which he single-handedly operated, have become rare stable and prosperous places in the Tang Dynasty. I heard that the place does not close its doors at night, the road is not picked, and even supper is not forbidden, and the night market is held every night until dawn, and merchants from all over the world and even from overseas come to buy their goods.

This is such a person, but there is another side. It is rumored that he assassinated the governor Shi when he was still the head of the team, and when he was a town general, he had already killed his boss and soldiers, and when the soldiers and horses were strong, he directly drove away the Dengzhou Assassin Shi and made himself the assassin Shi. He entered Liaodong, and dozens of powerful forces in southern Liaoning, which were originally large and small, were all brought out by his means and integrated into one under his command.

He was in Dengzhou, and even sent troops to help Song Wei drive away the tooth general Wang Jingwu, and he was in southern Liaoning, but he helped Li Maoxun drive away Zhang Gongsu, the marshal of Lulong.

Right now, this legendary man has taken his army to Daibei.

Liu is a weak woman, and there is no luck in her heart.

Although her husband Li Ke is fierce, he is too young. Although his father-in-law Li Guochang is brave, he has no overall view. Just like this rebellion, if it is handled better, it is not impossible for the Li family to seek Datong. But it was because they were not tactful enough that they finally led to the encirclement and suppression of the Seven Towns. It also attracted evil tigers like Li Jing.

Liu Yunniang didn't take too long to marry Li Ke, even only half a year. But she couldn't be more familiar with Li Keyong, and she couldn't understand what she knew anymore. Li Keyong married her, but he actually half-rushed into the door. The Li family is the most powerful family in Daibei, and the Liu family, although the ancestors are also a wealthy family in Daibei and a family of military generals, when they came to her, they had already declined. Li Keyong saw her inadvertently, and then after inquiring about her identity, he almost used robbery to marry her into the Li family.

Although she has lived in the border area for many years and lives with Zhuhu, she is still a Han woman. I have the concept of marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog. Although at first, Li Keyong was completely different from what she had expected when she was a girl, he was rude, good-looking, and a little ugly because he was missing an eye. And she is lustful and murderous, and has no mood, which is too far from her expectations.

But after getting married, she still forgot the thoughts in her heart and became his wife.

Liu Yunniang's biggest wish after marriage is to teach her husband and children, hoping that she can help her husband change some of his children's habits. It's just that she didn't expect that when she insisted on following him to Yunzhou, there would still be such a terrifying thing as Yunzhou Cockfighting Terrace cutting the officials of the court alive and eating human flesh.

The maid with the umbrella whispered behind her: "Madam, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain are heavy in the city, so let's go back." ”

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the girl whispered bitterly.

At this time, the commander of the female sword guard, Jing Niang, wore a black cloak and carried a long sword to the city. "Madam, it's getting late, it's time to go. If you don't leave, it is estimated that the enemy soldiers will arrive. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a noisy sound in the distance under the city, and in the fluttering wind and rain, a muffled sound of horses' hooves sounded. Immediately after, dozens of fires flickered.

Liu Yunniang's heart tightened.

Dozens of cavalry arrived in an instant, and the arrival of this cavalry caused a wave of confusion among the people who were leaving the city one after another. At first, I thought it was the enemy soldiers who had killed me, and I screamed in fright. When it got closer, it was only after the end that I found that it was all the black clothes and black armor of the Shatuo Department. A knight at the head seems to be somewhat familiar. Like, one of those knights who entered the city in the evening.

Jing Niang was the first to recognize them, and whispered to Liu Yunniang: "It's Madame's righteous son Li Siyuan, why did he come back again?" ”

Li Siyuan rode his horse back to Lingqiu City, turned over and jumped off his horse, quickly climbed to the top of the city, knelt down in front of Liu Yunniang and said, "Madam, the situation is not good, Li Jing's vanguard of the Zhendong Army has already been killed." We're slaughtering our team right now, and I expect the follow-up force to arrive soon. Madam, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Si Yuan escorts Mrs. to return to Shuozhou immediately! ”

Li Siyuan was originally the outpost guard of this evacuation team, but who knew that Lu Dao was halfway through the road, and he actually encountered a ranger of the Zhendong Army. Due to the heavy rain and dark sky, no one found the other party in advance, and when they got closer, they realized that the two sides had an encounter, and there were nearly 100 cavalry on Li Siyuan's side. The two sides fought in a scuffle, but the Zhendong Army rangers did not love to fight, and broke through while fighting, and left more than ten corpses to break through and go north. He estimated that the other party must have gone to report the movements of the army. Perhaps, it won't be long before a large force of cavalry will chase after you.

Liu Yunniang didn't expect the other party to come so quickly, "But what about these people's families?" ”

"Now I can't take care of this, Madame's safety is the most important, if you have a horse to walk, go immediately, if you don't have a horse, let everyone disperse and flee into the mountains first, and I will escort Madame away." Li Siyuan said a little anxiously.

Liu Yunniang pondered for a moment, then nodded, and took a hundred female sword guards and dozens of horsemen under Li Siyuan, and transferred more than 300 horsemen over, and together they gathered 500 horses, and did not bring any extra things, all of them rode south, and disappeared into the rainy night after the most reluctance.
