On the 19th month of August, General Yuchi led his troops to Jingyang to defeat the Turks.

The battle report was sent back to Chang'an, and the capital was excited.

In the past seven days, Li Shimin received more than ten expedited battle reports in succession, all of whom were defeated and asked for help.

The Turkic soldiers were in a state of unstoppable training under the Liang Shidu, and they fought and defeated them repeatedly. The Han people's cities were as pale as paper. Even at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the land of the Han people had never been so devastated by the Turks.

This is the seventeenth day after Li Shimin ascended the throne, and it is the first time he has faced a major challenge since he ascended the throne.

He is a horse emperor and is never afraid of war. He has never suffered a defeat so far.

"If Jili Khan dares to cross the Wei River, I will use his head to sacrifice to the sky."

This is what Li Shimin said when he was encouraging morale.

It is unknown how much effect his words can play, but Yuchi Jingde's victory indeed inspired the morale of the army.

When Yan Cun and Wu Guan set out to leave Shangjin City, the southern garrison was moving northwards. They took water routes, and the water routes were faster. Therefore, the river channels were restricted and merchant ships were not allowed to travel.

Wu Guan originally wanted to take a boat back to Chang'an, but when he got on the boat, Shi Buhui had no room for escape, and he and Yan Cun could save the fatigue of riding horses.

pity……

"Why……"

Half a day after leaving the city, Wu Guan's inner thigh was hurt by the saddle again, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be depressed, you won't be afraid if you get a calluse," Yan Cun said: "I heard that lotus flowers are building ships. If you want to take a boat in the future, you will have a chance."

"You are really not very good at comforting people." Wu Guan said.

The two of them rode horses, and Shi Buhui also rode horses.

He was tied up with his hands, and his horse was tied behind Yan Cun's horse, following him step by step.

Seeing Wu Guan and Yan Cun talking, Shi Buhui wanted to participate, but unfortunately he stuffed a piece of rag into his mouth and could only keep making whine.

Wu Guan raised his hand and took off the rag from his mouth and said, "The person who has been punished is more energetic than me, the person who has not been punished. I am convinced of you."

Shi Buhui smiled and said, "You don't understand this."

"Then do you teach me?" Wu Guan said.

"Okay," he grabbed the horse's belly and went along with Wu Guan. "I know you won't kill me, what else is there to be scary?"

"Aren't you afraid of pain?" Wu Guan said: "I know many hard bones that are not afraid of even death, but I can't stand the pain."

"It hurts? Haha... Let me tell you a secret..." Shi Buhui lowered his voice.

He lowered his voice, and Wu Guan could only lean towards him, and Yan Cun grabbed the back of the neck.

"If you have something to say, don't be sneaky." Yan Cun took the rag from Wu Guan's hand and shook it at Shi Buhui, "I'll put it back for you if you dare to play tricks."

Shi Buhui was very disdainful of Yan Cun's nervousness. He laughed out loudly and followed Yan Cun's request without revealing any trace, using the normal volume.

"Tell you, pain and something... hahaha, I've been using it as fun for a long time. As you said, not only my parents, but also I have lived in more than a hundred years, are there anything I haven't tried? Ha... it's just you, it's too young."

"I see."

Wu Guan just nodded and did not express too much emotion.

"Even if you are a pervert who is not afraid of pain, there are so many people who can be the first to eat crabs. It's not your turn to take this risk no matter what. Why are you?"

"Is it fun? Can I get tired of living?" Shi Buhui said: "They sent you to kill me, but not only did you not do it, but also chatted with me. Isn't this very interesting? What else is more exciting than this?"

"I should thank you. You made me understand a truth." Yan Cun suddenly interrupted.

"oh?"

"You let me understand..."

Yan Cun didn't finish speaking because he suddenly saw a horse.

A horse in armor.

It's a war horse!

But there is no master!

Yan Cun tied the reins vigilantly.

Wu Guan also discovered the clues, and the hairs behind him stood up. The pictures in front of him were easily reminded of information such as "ambush" and "battlefield".

"Is it someone on the back of the horse...?" Wu Guan asked with a squinted look.

He couldn't see clearly when he was far away.

"You stay." Yan Cun drove forward alone.

There is indeed a man wearing mountain armor, and he is dying from injury.

"Hey, brother, wake up..." After exploring his pulse and confirming that the other party was still alive, Yan Cun helped the person who was lying down.

But the other party was still unconscious and had no response to the call from the outside world.

Yan Cun untied the water bag on his side and tentatively fed him a small saliva.

The man's soul seemed to be hooked back by the saliva, and his eyelids trembled a few times and finally opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he yelled: "Kill!"

The fierce explosive power almost pushed Yan Cun off his horse.

"Brother, good skills." Yan Cun said after stabilizing his body.

While speaking, he looked at the cavalry in front of him carefully.

He is in his early twenties, perhaps under 20 years old, with a medium figure and calluses on his hands, which shows that he is good at using long weapons.

A spear, or a long horn.

When Yan Cun saw his hand, she sighed secretly.

He has a hand and you completely turn purple and black. Healthy skin will not show this color.

The purple-black hand had a broken arrow inserted into its arm, just in its elbow.

A circle of rags was tightly wrapped around the arrow, and it was reddish-brown by the blood.

His blood vessel was shot through and he was not treated in time, so he might not be able to save half of his arm.

The cavalry also noticed his arm. He was frightened and screamed "ah" and fell off his horse.

"No, no, no..." He slapped his purple-black arm with his other healthy hand.

But without any sense.

He was unwilling to give up, so he pulled out a short knife and raised his hand and cut it down on his black arm.

If you can still feel pain, there is hope?

"Stop!" Yan Cun snatched his knife.

"What's your name?" Yan Cun asked while prosecuting his wound.

"Yuan Si." The cavalry replied.

"Yuan Si." Yan Cun repeated it and was officially acquainted, "Which team are you from? How did you come here?"

"The front line... was defeated... it was a big defeat... Chang'an is over."

Wu Guancha, who watched the movement slowly approached, heard this and hurriedly asked, "Where did you lose?"

"General Yuchi."

"What?!" Wu Guan was shocked and shook his head and said, "Impossible!"

But he couldn't convince himself that Yuan Si in front of him had obviously just returned from the front line.

Yan Cun reached out and patted Wu Guan on the shoulder, signaling him not to worry, and asked, "When will you be defeated?"

"The night before yesterday, General Yuchi inferred that the Turks were coming to attack the camp and ordered us to ambush the enemy's must-pass road at night, wait for him to enter the camp and catch him off guard.

We followed the military order and indeed killed some Turks. General Yuchi also killed one of their chief generals.

But the Turks were divided into two groups, and somehow they broke into another team of troops and attacked our army from front to back.

There were many Turkic people, and our army could not be defeated, and many of them were dispersed.

General Yuchi was surrounded, and the situation was very critical. He broke through - plus me, I only knew that there were two people breaking through.

another……"

Yuan Si took a deep breath and continued: "He was seriously injured than me. If he didn't persist in Chang'an, he would...ah!

Are you almost here in Chang'an? You have to go and inform us and save our Lord."

"You've walked through," Yan Cun said: "This place is half a day away from Chang'an."

"Ah!" Yuan Si was shocked and pulled the wound on his arm and frowned.

"Does it hurt?" Yan Cun asked.

"Not worry, I..."
