Ning Yuanhou looked back at the cheering teenagers, then looked at Xu Xiaozhen, and said with a smile: "Don't you think they are very similar to us back then?"
Xu Xiaozhen was stunned for a long time, then looked at the teenagers and fell into deep thought.
Marquis Ning Yuan patted Xu Xiaozhen on the shoulder: "Let them go. They are all sensible children. We can't protect them forever!"
Xu Xiaozhen thought about it, and in the end he could only shake his head helplessly: "Why, the eldest brother has another child now, but has he chosen a name?"
Ning Yuanhou couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and then he put his arms around Xu Xiaozhen's shoulders: "You still have time to care about whether I have chosen a good name, but you, have you ever written a letter to your future wife?"
"I'm not dumbfounded, of course I mean it!" Xu Xiaozhen's expression suddenly became very gentle, "It's just that although we have been engaged, but now that I am at the border, I don't know what will happen in the future, so I I told her that if I had a bad relationship, I would ask her family to cancel the engagement, but unexpectedly, she actually said that she would wait for me, and she would wait for me no matter what!"
Ning Yuanhou looked at his younger brother who was forced to divorce his wife in middle age by a Wen family woman. He always felt a little apologetic in his heart. He would occasionally blame himself for this matter. If he could have stopped him back then and prevented him from being If people are confused, maybe there won’t be so many things, and people won’t be able to have children even when they reach middle age!
Xu Xiaozhen and Ning Yuanhou were brothers, and they grew up playing and fighting together. Although Xu Xiaozhen had no ability, Ning Yuanhou never treated him badly and tried every means to take him with him, so that he could grow from a young man like himself. Start as a small soldier and then climb up bit by bit.
Therefore, although he is not very powerful, now, at least he is an official in the same dynasty and protects the world.
When Xu Xiaozhen saw Ning Yuanhou's appearance, he knew what he was thinking now, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry about those past events! There are some things that only I have experienced. , only then do you understand right and wrong, just like those children, only when you really stand on the battlefield can you understand the hard-won glory and wealth!"
Marquis Ning Yuan patted Xu Xiaozhen on the shoulder and said nothing more.
Marquis Ning Yuan had never been able to think of a good name, so he kept putting off the matter until the first heavy snowfall of the year fell in Northern Xinjiang.
The snow was so heavy that it almost buried the entire city. Marquis Ningyuan received reports from people from all directions early in the morning. The snow was so heavy that almost all roads were blocked. The mountains were blocked by the heavy snow. Supplies and reinforcements were needed. , cannot be delivered in a short time.
Ningyuan Hou stood in front of the camp, looking at the soldiers who were cleaning the camp, with a solemn expression on his face.
Xu Yanquan trotted over, but almost fell because the soles of his feet slipped. Ning Yuanhou looked at it and couldn't help but frown: "Be careful!"
Xu Yanquan climbed up and kicked the shoes on his feet: "These shoes are still not slippery enough. They will still slip when stepping on ice and snow!"
"What happened?" Ning Yuanhou glanced at the shoes on Xu Yanquan's feet and asked.
"A few horses are sick. It's probably because the weather is too cold!" Xu Yanquan was a little anxious. "It snowed heavily just now. I'm afraid the people from Northern Xinjiang will attack soon. The horses are sick at this time. It's really a delay. !”
"The weather was suddenly cold, and I don't know how many soldiers were woken up by the cold last night. Fortunately, there was a lot of ginger in this batch of supplies. The military doctor made ginger soup overnight and let everyone drink it, so no big mistakes happened! "Meng Hetong also came over without knowing it.
Marquis Ningyuan frowned slightly: "Northern Xinjiang is cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is particularly large. In previous years, many people froze to death. We have made preparations in advance this year, but the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. The food we stocked up cannot actually withstand the snow melting in spring. ! We have to shorten the time of this battle as much as possible!"
As soon as Ning Yuanhou said this, Xu Yanquan and Meng Hetong fell silent.
A battle was shortened wherever possible, and the enemy insisted on dragging it out until winter, just to completely drag them to death in this winter.
Marquis Ningyuan knew what they were thinking. He was silent for a while, and then said: "Strengthen patrols and do everything possible to protect food and grass. At this time, whether it is us or Northern Xinjiang, the most important thing is food and grass. The mountains are closed due to heavy snow. Without support, so will they!”
Xu Yanquan and Meng Hetong agreed.
But they never expected that the Northern Xinjiang people, who had been patiently dealing with them all summer and autumn, would launch a general attack that night.
Marquis Ning Yuan gathered his troops and stood on a high place, looking at the slowly approaching army on the plain not far away.
"General, look at that military vehicle walking at the front. The one sitting on it is the Sanger Group!" Xu Xiaozhen stood beside Ning Yuanhou and said in his ear.
Marquis Ning Yuan frowned slightly.
He has guarded Northern Xinjiang for many years and has never experienced any major battles, but this is the first time someone has launched a general attack at night. Even Marquis Ningyuan was a little cautious when facing this Sanger group who were fighting against each other for the first time.
"Marquis Ningyuan, you Central Plains people often say that an old man can reach a thousand miles even when he is in trouble. Now that you are an old man and you are still struggling here, aren't you afraid that I, the wave behind the Yangtze River, will push you, the wave ahead?" Sanggequn started shouting. .
Marquis Ningyuan looked coldly at the army holding torches in front of him, sneered and said nothing.
Xu Yanquan, who was standing aside, glanced at Marquis Ning Yuan, and then said: "General, let me go!"
Marquis Ningyuan glanced at Meng Hetong, then shook his head: "Let Meng Hetong go!"
Meng Hetong was stunned for a moment when his name was called, and looked at Marquis Ning Yuan in disbelief: "Am I going alone?"
Ning Yuanhou laughed: "What? Are you scared?"
Meng Hetong took the spear thrown from the side: "How could it be? I just didn't expect the general to trust me so much. I'm a little ecstatic!"
"Go ahead and win, but remember to retain some strength, understand?" Xu Yanquan patted Meng Hetong's arm, "If you get scared, just shout and I'll save you!"
"Get out of here!" Meng Hetong kicked Xu Yanquan and rushed out with Yusheng.
The city gate opened wide, and Meng Hetong didn't even ride his own horse. He just grabbed a war horse and rushed out.
"Who is coming? Tell me your name!" The generals around Sanggequn rode out of the formation.
"If you want to know your grandpa's name, I have to call your grandpa first!" Meng Hetong sneered.
"You little kid! Don't be so scared that you wet your pants!"
