At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 809

Wang Xiongdan said angrily: "Pei Xingyan, although the King of Chu appreciates you, there is a limit to patience. If you dare to disrespect the King of Chu and stare at your face, I will make you eat noodles with a knife."

Pei Xingyan said disdainfully: "Although let the horse come over, just blink, I'm not a good guy."

Wang Xiongsheng drew his sword in anger, but was stopped by Du Fuwei's stern eyes. He had to vent his anger on the low table next to him, cut it in half with a knife, and left the tent angrily.

Du Fuwei ignored the news and just continued to drink, Pei Xingyan couldn't help swallowing when he saw this, thinking, what can I do if I drink it?After saying that I will not surrender, I will not surrender you, so I raised my neck and started drinking.

After not drinking for a long time, Pei Xingyan drank up the whole jar of wine in one breath, and then burped comfortably, but Du Fuwei had already finished drinking, took the empty wine jar in Pei Xingyan's hand and said, "Give it back to me." My lord, don't smash it anymore, it has to be used to hold wine."

After Du Fuwei finished speaking, he carried two empty wine jars and went outside the tent. A trace of doubt flashed in Pei Xingyan's eyes, and he frowned and said, "Du Fuwei, what big things can you do if you are so picky and searchy? Why don't you lower Qi Let’s go to the country, you are just right for an official who guards the warehouse.”

Du Fuwei ignored it and walked out of the tent. Pei Xingyan said angrily: "Du Fuwei, what are you planning? Stop playing tricks, I don't like this, Du Fuwei, get out, I asked What do you say!"

But there was no response. Du Fuwei had obviously gone far away. Pei Xingyan gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but his legs felt a sharp pain and he had to sit down again, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"This broken leg, it's good to be broken, it's half dead, when will it be healed!" Pei Xingyan exhaled helplessly.

"Pei Xingyan doesn't know what's good, he's stubborn, and he's disrespectful to you, his adoptive father. The child doesn't understand why his adoptive father treats him so generously and respectfully, so he can just kill him with one knife, so as not to waste food." Du Fuwei said angrily.

Du Fuwei didn't answer, and while going to Shuai Zhang, he asked back: "Does Xiong Dan think that Li Zitong can hold Jiangdu City?"

Wang Xiongdan was slightly stunned, thought for a moment and said: "Jiangdu city wall is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li Zitong should be able to defend it in a short time, but Gao Changqing is besieging and not attacking now, it seems that he intends to trap Li Zitong to death."

Du Fuwei nodded and said: "That's right, Gao Changqing obviously planned it this way. With the strength of Qi State, Li Zitong can be trapped to death slowly, but this is not a good thing for us."

Wang Xiongdan was puzzled and said, "Isn't the adoptive father worried that Li Zitong would be wiped out, and his lips would die and his teeth would be cold, so he did not hesitate to personally rescue Jiangdu? Now that the Qi army can't quickly capture Jiangdu, isn't it a good thing?"

Du Fuwei shook his head and said: "This time is not the same time, the Qi army's firearms are much stronger than what I expected, and I originally thought that the Qi army would cut through the mess quickly and attack Jiangdu with all its strength. Small fight big, but now that the Qi army is besieging Jiangdu and not attacking, more troops will surely be freed up to deal with us."

Wang Xiongdan suddenly said: "That's right, in this way, we will take the initiative to send Li Zitong to defend against the main forces of the Qi army. He will kindly rescue us, so what should we do? Should we just withdraw our troops like this?"

"Withdraw troops? I don't agree to withdraw troops!" Fu Gongyou strode over from not far away, staring at Wang Xiongdan dissatisfiedly: "What bad idea did you kid give the king of Chu? Shrink your head before the battle, Chu Do you want to lose the majesty of the king? Will we people be able to hold our heads up in the future, and the morale of the army will also be hit hard!"

Wang Xiongdan said depressedly: "When did the general advise the king of Chu to withdraw his troops, and the auxiliary general lost his temper at the general after only hearing a small and half claw. What's the reason?"

Fu Gongyou scratched his head when he heard the words: "Didn't you just say that you were withdrawing troops? Didn't I hear it wrong!"

"Ten percent heard it wrong." Wang Xiongdan rolled his eyes.

Du Fuwei said calmly: "Gongyou, please be safe and don't be impatient. Xiongdan did not suggest that the king withdraw his troops, and the king has no plans to withdraw troops."

Fu Gongyou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "That's good. In fact, the Qi army is really not as strong as imagined. The king of Chu doesn't have to be too jealous. Let's see how the general will defeat Liu Heita tomorrow."

Du Fuwei hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. In fact, ever since he saw the scene of the shelling, he already had the intention of accepting the offer, but he would not be reconciled if he didn't fight a fight, and the brothers in the army would not be convinced, either. Then fight the Qi army with real swords and guns, and you will know whether it is real gold or fake silver.

At this time, a sergeant rushed to report: "Report to the king of Chu and the auxiliary general that there is movement in the camp of the Qi army."

Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyou quickly got on their horses and rushed to the front of the camp. They climbed up the building and looked at the opposite Qi army camp.

Wang Xiongdan's face changed slightly and he said: "As the King of Chu expected, the Qi army sent reinforcements again, Gao Changqing is going to free up his hands to deal with us first."

Du Fuwei looked far away, and said solemnly: "I'm afraid that Gao Changqing will come in person."

Fu Gongyou said with a sinister smile: "It's better to come here, clean up together, Pei Xingyan is known as the enemy of ten thousand people, and in the end he is not a prisoner of the King of Chu, so how can Gao Changqing be forced?"

Du Fuwei's face darkened, and he reprimanded: "Fart, have you heard that Gao Changqing lost the battle?"

Fu Gongyou said embarrassingly: "Although I haven't heard of it, the rumors must be too exaggerated."

Du Fuwei said in a deep voice: "How can it be accidental that Gao Changqing has become a horse peddler to today's position? Apart from other things, his martial arts alone is rare. We were on the dragon boat back then. The assassination of the faint king Yang Guang was ruined by this son. We have all seen his martial arts with our own eyes. Li Zitong is stronger than us but not weaker. In the end, he was killed by Gao Changqing in two or three strokes. How do you compare yourself to Li Zitong?"

Fu Gongyou blushed and was speechless.

Du Fuwei slowed down his tone and said: "Gongyou, it's not that this king grows others' aspirations and destroys his own prestige. If you saw how the Qi army bombarded Jiangdu City with your own eyes, you must not say such arrogant words again. As the saying goes, drive carefully You got the Ten Thousand Years Ship, you must be cautious when fighting tomorrow, I don’t want to collect the corpse for my good brother.”

The weight of these words was extremely heavy, Fu Gongyou was extremely ashamed, clasped his fists and said: "The general understands."

Du Fuwei nodded and said: "Go and prepare carefully, the Qi army may not wait until tomorrow to launch an attack."

"The last general has an order!" Fu Gongyou retreated despondently to prepare for the battle.

Du Fuwei stood on the tower and continued to observe for a while, and then sighed: "Qi Guo really has a lot of talents, and this Liu Heita came out of nowhere."

Wang Xiongchan nodded and said: "Well, this guy is brave and resourceful, and he is very stable. He has built a strong camp. It is very difficult to sneak attack on their camp."

Du Fuwei didn't make a sound, and didn't know what he was thinking.

At the moment behind the Qi army's camp, Liu Heitai was leading his generals to welcome Gao Bufan's arrival. That's right, just as Du Fuwei expected, Gao Bufan came in person.

"See the emperor." Liu Heitai led the generals to kneel on one knee and salute.

Gao Bufan was riding on a big green horse, and Bai Yunshang next to him had a rare change of light green clothes, and his beautiful hair that was scattered behind his head was also tied up in a bun, which was dry and soft.Gao Bufan's current state is not stable yet, so Bai Yunshang is naturally worried, so he has been following him like a shadow to protect him.

Gao Bufan dismounted from his horse, and said with a pleasant face, "All officers and men are safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Heitai and the others stood up respectfully. When they saw Bai Yunshang next to them, their eyes were a little straightened, but they didn't dare to look too much, so they all looked away.

Surrounded by all the generals, Gao Bufan entered the main tent, without any nonsense, immediately held a battle meeting.

"General Liu and the Chu army have fought against each other twice, so I must have a certain understanding of the Chu army. Let me tell you what you think first." Gao Bufan said.

Liu Heikai respectfully said: "Returning to the emperor, according to the observation of the general, the combat power of the Chu army is very strong, not much weaker than ours, especially Du Fuwei's recruiting army, they are extremely brave in combat, and they are not afraid of death when they charge into battle. , but the number of recruited troops is small, only [-], as long as Du Fuwei's recruited army is defeated, the morale of the Chu army will definitely be hit."

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "Okay, is General Liu confident?"

Liu Heita said proudly: "Yes!"

Gao Bufan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then I will give you the fifty artillery pieces and two thousand Youzhou cavalry that I brought to you for unified command."

Liu Heita pounded his chest with a bang, and said loudly: "The final general will live up to the emperor's expectations and defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop tomorrow."

Next, Gao Bufan discussed some details with the generals, and then ordered the three armies to recharge their batteries and prepare for the battle tomorrow.

The morale of the Qi army is booming at present, and now with the emperor's personal visit, the morale is even higher, so everyone is gearing up, ready to fight a beautiful victory in front of the emperor.

The morning sun finally rose, and the hot June sun quickly evaporated the dewdrops on the weeds and leaves. The well-fed Qi army rushed out of the camp like a tide, and formed a formation in front of the camp. Like forest knives like the sea, horses like dragons and flags like rainbows, with murderous aura, they rushed straight to Xiaohan.

The Chu army over there was not to be outdone, and rushed out of the camp amidst the sound of majestic horns, but saw rows of infantry phalanxes, the light of swords filled the sky, and the sun was cold!

Du Fuwei rode on his horse and stood under the banner of the Chinese army with a long knife in his hand. His eyes were majestic and desolate, and he looked intently at the opposite Qi army battle formation. He saw an eight-foot-high Qi character dragon flag flying high. Flying majestically in the wind.

Du Fuwei's pupils shrank slightly, and the dragon flag was here. It was obvious that Gao Changqing, the emperor of Qi, came in person.
