Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 125 My Champion

The daylight slanted to the west, and the large fields in the southeast were no longer green.Remnants of limbs and broken arms, corpses everywhere and fields dyed red, the thick blood is caught in the spring breeze, which can be smelled from a long distance away.

Shi Congyun's nose has long been used to that smell, otherwise he might feel sick.

The lush and dark green wheat seedlings in the field were crushed into mud by soldiers in heavy armor, and then watered with warm blood.

The situation has changed beyond everyone's expectations.

Not only the officials and other people outside the battlefield, but also the Southern Tang Army in the battlefield, all of them were unexpected about such a change!

The soldiers of the first, second, and third armies of the Crane Control Army were encircling the Tang army from three sides in the southeast, and then quickly defeated them, chasing the Tang army in the fields.

The Tang army in the southeast corner was in a disorganized formation, and it was difficult to gather together. They just ran for their lives, and slowly turned into a plate of scattered sand, like chaotic ants, fleeing separately, and it was difficult to gather together to resist.
A large number of soldiers of the Crane Control Army with a tight formation drove the Southern Tang Army to the west. Many Tang soldiers had no fighting spirit and directly dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees in the fields.

Slowly, the central army in the front and the Tang army on the right also found that their commander had fled, and the elite in the rear were defeated, and they were about to be outflanked by the Zhou army. flee.

At the beginning, not many people escaped. The supervising army at the back of the army chopped down a few people to temporarily prevent the collapse. However, as the rear commander flag began to move, more and more people fled. The supervising army was afraid to escape first, and then collapse Difficult to stop.

The overall change only happened within half an hour. Ever since the banner of the Southern Tang Army began to move westward, the turmoil was like waves, centering on the Shuai Banner and spreading in all directions, quickly destroying the formation of the Tang Army.

At this point, in the overall situation, most of the Tang troops in the mountains and plains lost their fighting spirit and began to run and flee to the southwest. The situation of this tens of thousands of people's battle became more and more clear
Shi Congyun was so excited that he wanted to yell a few times to vent his emotions, but he held back.

On the surface, he still looks like a normal person, expressionless, looking at the distant battlefield calmly, full of force.

The soldiers around looked at everything in the distance, and their voices began to tremble with joy: "Xiangzhu! We won, we seem to have won!"

"Why are you excited?" Shi Congyun tried his best to remain calm, raised his hand slightly as if he was in control, "I knew the result two hours ago!
Don't make a fuss, go and inform Deputy Marshal Shi, the enemy army has fled and can pursue. "

Everyone looked at him with reverence, and when the messenger heard this, he straightened his waist and agreed loudly: "Your Majesty, I'm going here!" After finishing speaking, he quickly got on his horse and rode off towards the peach forest in the south.

After a while, the ground under his feet began to shake, and Shi Yanchao's army in the west began to go south again, chasing the defeated Southern Tang soldiers.

Just at this time, the sound of drums and horns sounded from the left rear, and a large number of flags and figures crossed the wheat field and began to advance southward. The Li Chongjinhu Jie army on the left rear also began to march southward.

"When we had the hardest beating, they didn't fart a single fart. Now they want to come here to take advantage!" Someone said dissatisfied.

Shi Congyun was also dissatisfied, but he couldn't help it. Li Chongjin's troops entered the battlefield only after the Southern Tang Army was defeated, and the battle reports would definitely credit Li Chongjin and Hu Jie.

This kind of thing is hard to say, anyway, the officials have the final say on the affairs of the world nowadays, and it is impossible to fight wars under the watchful eyes of the officials.

At this time, the entire situation in the south of Zhengyang has become that the Southern Tang army ran southward all over the mountains, and the Zhou army in the rear followed closely behind.

Luqiu Zhongqing admired him from the bottom of his heart: "The owner of the chamber is really commanding, with a strategy in his chest, and a hidden soldier in his belly!
At first, the old man thought that there were many soldiers in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Chongjin would not help us easily because he was just watching from the sidelines.
The owner of the chamber is young, such wisdom and determination are rare in the world. "

Luqiu Zhongqing stroked his beard, he didn't speak deliberately to please, but he was as calm as expressing emotion: "This old man spent half his life from Qidi to Hebei, Hedong, and out of Saibei, wandering and wandering. a lot of,
There are quite a few outstanding people among them, each with their own strengths, and they may be compared with the owner of the chamber, but I have never seen them.

But the host gave the old man a strange feeling. "

"Strange?" Shi Congyun looked at him curiously, and the joy of victory swept over him. At this moment, he relaxed. The sun was setting in the distance, and the horses on the plain cast long shadows. The situation had become a one-sided pursuit.

"Well, the owner of the chamber has a lot of talent and strategy. He seems to be a person who wants to do big things, but he seems not ready for big things."

Shi Congyun nodded, "You are right."

"Order the whole army to pursue. Mr. Luqiu will follow the army to command and dispatch. I will stand here for a while." Shi Congyun said deeply.

Luqiu Zhongqing nodded: "If you have something important to think about, I will try my best to do it well."

He nodded, in fact, because he stood for a whole day, he was too nervous and didn't pay attention before, but now he relaxed and found that his whole leg was numb, almost without any feeling, if he moved, he might fall down, that would be It's so embarrassing.

In the distance, the sky gradually dimmed. Two or three stars away from the sky, many light spots flickered below. It was the chasing army who began to light torches. It was even more dazzling than the evening starry sky. For a while, it was hard to tell which was the sky and which was the earth. up.

Since he couldn't stand upright, Shi Congyun simply sat down where he was, thinking that if a pretty girl came to rub his legs at this time, it would be so much.

The same thing, in the eyes of different people, is a different situation, and people's ideas are always different.

So the view of this victory is another scene in the eyes of others.

At dusk, the mountains and rivers were bathed in blood, and thousands of miles of land turned into a fiery red world.

The top of the mountain in the southeast of Zhengyang is guarded by many soldiers. The blood-colored sunset is reflected in the canal below. It seems like a channel of hot blood is flowing, scorching the eyes. The fire in the distance flickers and forms a long dragon. The fire dragons all over the mountains are slowly moving south, wandering in the wilderness. .

It was Zhou Jun who was chasing the defeated soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, all the way south.

A lot of chaos fell into Fuhou's eyes. Half a day ago, the overwhelming Southern Tang army spread all over the mountains and plains, which made her tremble and fear, made Wang Pu and others uneasy, and made Li Jixun rush to persuade the officials to retreat to the north bank of the Huaihe River. He also hesitated, and sat down with the Southern Tang army preparing to cross the Huaihe River in the north...

At this time, the army was defeated, as if sand was scattered all over the ground, throwing away their helmets and armor, they fled southward.

Armors, weapons, and flags discarded everywhere in the fields reflected beautiful light in the setting sun.

Everything is like a dream, a dream and an illusion, and reality is like a two-hour long dream. I can't believe that this is actually done by human beings, and it is something that people can do.

Empress Fu stared blankly at everything in the distance, and forgot what expression to use to decorate her beautiful and dignified oval face, just like she used to do.

I also forgot to pay attention to the conversations between the officials and the people at both ears. Looking at the calm and calm figure standing behind the army from a distance, it became more and more blurred, and I felt a strange emotion in my heart.

For a moment, she even wanted to speak abruptly and ask someone to call the legendary Shi Congyun who was only sixteen or seventeen. She had a good look in person. , what kind of young man.

What kind of person can be calm and calm in front of thousands of troops, as immobile as a mountain, and strategize
It was as if he was standing there like a mountain, thousands of people would not be able to get over it, and nothing would happen if the sky fell, and he ignored all the people across the mountains and plains.

Empress Fu felt that this might be the most man-like man she had ever seen in her life.
Such thoughts made her very nervous and scared, and her heart beat fast. Fortunately, others didn't know it. Everyone was looking there, so she wouldn't look so abruptly. No one cared what she thought.

Today's events are too dramatic, and the variables involved are unpredictable.

She is the one who can understand everyone's thoughts best when she is present, because women's thoughts are more delicate.

At the beginning, even the officials felt that they could not win the fight, thinking that Shi Congyun was fighting indiscriminately.

The officials asked Dongxiban to guard the pontoon, and asked Li Chongjin and Shi Yanchao to protect themselves. They already felt that there was no chance of winning.

But when Shi Congyun concentrated all the soldiers in the east, the army formation lagged behind from left to right.

She didn't know what kind of play this was, but when the two sides really started fighting, the official's expression became gradually surprised, and Wang Shenqi made several guesses.

At first he said, "Perhaps Brother Yun wants Deputy Marshal Shi to attack the right wing", but later he vetoed it, saying "Brother Yun may want to find out the truth of the Tang army" and "Brother Yun may want to deceive the enemy with himself".
In short, she could see that Wang Shenqi was trying to defend Shi Congyun in front of the officials. The relationship between the two should be very good, and Wang Shenqi was really worried about Shi Congyun.

But neither the officials nor Wang Shenqi understood Shi Congyun's true intentions, and she could see this clearly
Until the battle situation in the distance gradually became clear, and the faces of the officials gradually showed joy, Wang Pu suddenly realized in surprise, "The Lord Shixiang used his handsome flag as a bait to attract the Southern Tang army and deceive them. Take the handsome flag?"

Everyone was silent, even the officials didn't talk too much. Wang Shenqi showed joy, nodded half-understanding, and responded with a sentence, "What Mr. Xiang said seems to make sense."

She doesn't understand military affairs, but she knows that those present must not understand what Shi Congyun did.
She only saw that even though the large black army of the Southern Tang Dynasty kept approaching, and the situation became more and more dangerous, Shi Congyun and his handsome flag on the hillside were still standing there, not moving half a step, as if the large army of Southern Tang soldiers in front of them could not move. Shake him a little.

Until later, when the sun slanted to the west, after a short but extremely long fight for more than an hour, the Tang army all over the mountains and plains began to run, and Li Chongjin and Shi Yanchao's brigade began to chase after them. Won!Shi Congyun won.

Wang Pu, Wang Shenqi and many civil and military officials congratulated each other. Only Li Jixun was silent, with a very ugly face, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

As the sky gradually darkened, the officials were still very excited and did not leave the hill overlooking the entire battlefield.

If he didn't leave, no one dared to leave, and the evening wind was a bit chilly, so the accompanying eunuchs sent cloaks to put on the officials and queen to keep out the cold.

Wang Pu excitedly looked at the flames in the southern wilderness, and said to the officials: "After this battle, the Southern Tang Kingdom has been injured. I don't think it will be possible to organize a large army to counterattack within half a year. We can take the Huaihe River with peace of mind." Zhuzhou."

Hearing such words, the official was very happy, and then said: "I want to call Shi Congyun and ask him how he fought today's battle and why he fought like this. I also feel that he has been fighting for a day. Tired and sleepy, I'd better ask again tomorrow, and tell Li Gu by the way, so that he doesn't have to come to see me, and tomorrow I will be in the army.

I am very satisfied with his reassignment and the arrangements are made properly. "

The officials around him were ordered to go to Zhengyang camp to find Li Gu.

Wang Pu was still amazed: "I heard from the generals that they have never seen such a strange style of play like Shi Congyun, nor have they seen it used by others. It has never been mentioned in the military books I read. It is really interesting. Perhaps he acted accordingly and came up with it on the spur of the moment.

If that's the case, he is a rare general. He is still young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is as immovable as a mountain in the face of thousands of troops.

Tang Jun rushed within a hundred paces of him several times, and even the old man was sweating for him, and he stood there stiffly without moving half a step. "

The official nodded when he heard it. Everyone was happy to win the big battle. The official smiled and said, "It's really rare, not to mention young people, many veterans and veterans don't have that ability."

"That's right, the officials are really astute, and they use talents in an eclectic manner. With such a striker, it's no wonder that he played so well in Guanzhong against the Kingdom of Shu." Wang Pu was half a step behind the officials.

"There is a saying in the art of war, if you are smooth, don't be overjoyed; if you are against, don't be discouraged; if you are safe, don't be extravagant; if you are in danger, don't be frightened; if you have thunder in your chest and your face is as flat as a lake, you can worship the general.

In my superficial opinion, although Shi Congyun is young, he looks like a general! "

Wang Pu's words made the officials very happy, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Empress Fu's heart is clear, not because Wang Pu said that Shi Congyun is so powerful, but because he said that officials have "smart eyes like torches" and "eclectic use of talents". .

Officials have always compared themselves with the ancient Mingjun.

So she was smart and said: "At the beginning, the champion Hou joined the army at the age of 16, and he made great achievements at the age of [-]; in fact, it was because of his good luck that he met Wu Dixiong.

Now that Shi Congyun is sixteen or seventeen years old, he has such a credit, and it is also because he met an official. If there is no official who knows people and handles them well, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to use his fists.

At the beginning, Emperor Wu asked the champion Hou to read more military books, but the champion Hou said, "How good is Gu Fanglue, so I don't want to learn the ancient art of war."

Now Shi Congyun doesn't learn from the ancients, he doesn't use the methods in military books, he has his own way of fighting, and he is somewhat similar to the champion Hou back then. "

She spoke gracefully, and when she finished speaking, everyone looked over, Wang Pu and Wang Shenqi both cupped their hands and said: "The empress is wise."

After hearing this, the official's eyes gradually lit up, and he didn't say anything, just gently took her hand.

After this subtle gesture, she immediately understood that she was right. This was what the officials wanted to hear the most. The point of this remark was not whether Shi Congyun was a champion, but to compare the officials to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"When the battle is settled, I must meet my champion in person!" The official said happily, and everyone listened to his words.
