Fireworks rose at the border of the Tang Dynasty, and dust rose in the northeast. The generals of the Tang Dynasty left home to break the cruel border thieves. The soldiers were invincible on the battlefield, and the emperor gave them rich rewards. The sound of gongs and drums resounded through the heavy drums, out of Shanhaiguan, and the standard was hunting in Jieshi Mountain. Captain Yu Shu flew over the vast sand sea, Xiongnu Khan held fire hunting, and the light came to my Wolf Mountain. The mountains and rivers are barren and desolate to the edge of the soil. The sound of the Hu people cavalry fighting powerful weapons was caught in the wind and rain. In the first half of my life, the soldiers were defeated, and the beauty was still singing and dancing in the camp! It is late autumn, the grass outside the desert has withered, the lonely city is reflected in the sunset, and fewer and fewer soldiers are fighting. Deeply indebted to the royal family, he often thinks about serving his country and underestimating his enemy. The frontier fortress has tried its best to break the encirclement of Xiongnu. I haven't worked hard in a remote battlefield in armor for a long time. My husband left and cried alone. The young woman lives alone in the south of the city, crying and heartbroken, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force frequently look back in the air in northern Hebei. The border is foggy and far away. How can you come and go freely? What's more, it is far away and even more uninhabited. Murder, spring, summer and autumn are like dark clouds, and the cold wind sounds even more shocking overnight. Watching each other fly around with blood and dying to serve the country, is it still asking for success? You don't see how miserable it is to fight on the battlefield, and you are still thinking about General Li, who is brave and good at fighting.
