Chinese dining table

Chapter 358 Destroy this dynasty
Those who quickly post up as soon as they say hello are called licking dogs.

Those who take the initiative to come up to you when they treat you a little better are called cheap bastards.

However, if people come to invite you to go to the battlefield over and over again, if you don't go, you are called a coward.

Therefore, there is a big problem between going and not going.

Dog licking is not eligible to put forward conditions, for example, to take care of one's own people.

The bitch is not qualified to ask the boss for gunpowder, which is an unreasonable demand.

It's also on the battlefield, the difference is very big, the initiative is your own, let alone your own.

Back then, when he was in the city of Kucha, the Kucha Guanling Yamen led by He Yuanshan belonged to the kind of people who did not have any autonomy.

So, except for Guo Yunchu who survived by chance, everyone else died.

Where is the army?
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that military orders are like mountains. Since they are all mountains, there is no reason to talk about them when they fall down.

What's more, the army is not a place where you can reason.

The timing is just right now. Not only has he shown to the boss and the emperor that he has no ambitions for the army, but he has also placed himself in the army as a rare commodity, so that it is not easy for him to become cannon fodder.

Ever since Wannian County received the military order to conscript [-] government soldiers, Yunchu was already ready to participate in this war of annihilation, because he knew that he would never be able to avoid it.

Li Ji hopes to see Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian and him Yunchu emerge in his lifetime. The destruction of Goguryeo this time is a battle to test Li Ji's vision.

In a grand narrative, Li Ji's will has included the will of everyone in the Tang Dynasty, and Yunchu's personal will is insignificant under the direction of everyone.

When Yun Chu was about to leave his home in armor to enter the barracks, Yu Xiurong brought the whole family of the Yun family to wish Yun Chu a triumphant return.

They looked very proud and didn't have any sad emotions. Only Naha, who had seen the post-war scene, cried to death. To this day, she still remembers the fact that her brother went to fight and locked her in a dark tunnel.

"Don't cry!" Yu Xiurong yelled. Although she was also very scared and worried about her husband, the woman in Guanzhong couldn't cry when she sent her husband off to war. Once she cried, it meant that her husband would not come back.

Naha hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, but the tears still flowed down in strings.

Yun Chu touched Naha's head with a smile, then smiled at Yu Xiurong, picked up Yun Jin and kissed Yun Jin on their cheeks without saying a word, and said to Fei Jiu who was guarding the door: "At home Please."

Fei Jiu clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty, don't worry."

Yunchu looked at the excited Liu Yi again and said, "I finished what I needed to say yesterday. In the days when I'm not around, just follow our agreement."

Liu Yi bent down and saluted, "Wei!"

Yunchu finally handed the child to Yu Xiurong and said, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

After speaking, he left home accompanied by his deputy Zhong Kui.

Today is the day when the generals from all walks of life are stationed in the barracks. At this time, there are many officers who are different from their families. The scene is the same, the etiquette is the same, but I don't know how many people will come back when they triumph in the future.

Zaohong immediately went to Suzaku Street, Yunchu and his party had horseshoes, and Zhong Kui held a dark red banner in his hand, writing to Dingyuan General Yun.

When passers-by saw the red tassels on the flag, they knew it was General Dingyuan's expedition flag. Passers-by stopped, saluted and gave way.

After a while, there were many such banners on Suzaku Street, but the content written on them was different.

Behind General Dingyuan is General Mingwei, behind General Mingwei is General Ningyuan, and behind General Mingwei is General Huaihua Zhonglang. When Yunchu saw the flag of General Xuanwei from the fourth rank, he became very angry. one place.

Because under the flag is Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian was followed by Lieutenant General Wang Fangyi, who knew how to bow his hands when he saw Yunchu, but Pei Xingjian pretended not to see Yunchu with a high-spirited look.

Gradually the flags on Suzaku Street became denser, and the flags of General Yunhui, General Guide, General Huaihua, General Huaihua, General Champion, these high-ranking military officers appeared one after another.

However, what can walk in the middle of Suzaku Avenue is an uncovered four-horse carriage. Li Ji, who is in armor, is sitting on the carriage, holding a sword in his left hand and a small pennant in his right. , Behind his carriage, there were two guards as strong as bears, one was holding a flag, the other was holding a box of arrows.

There is a huge handsome character written on the flag, except for the dense tassels, there is nothing else.

Since the appearance of Li Ji's handsome flag, the originally chaotic flags immediately formed a neat team.

Behind the Shuai flag are General Huaihua, General Champion, and behind it are the flags of General Huaihua and General Guide. Although Yunchu’s flag of General Dingyuan is not at the front, it is not at the end either. After all, there are many sixth-rank flags. , the flag of the seventh-rank military general is at the bottom.

Xue Rengui's armor is very flamboyant, bright silver, standing among a group of generals in black armor is very eye-catching.

Yun Chu threw a stone with his backhand, and the stone went very quickly. Even in the noisy environment, Xue Rengui still heard the sound of the stone breaking through the air, and let the stone hit his armor, breaking into powder.

Xue Rengui glanced at Yunchu, then turned his head and continued on his way in a serious manner.

When Yun Chu came out of the house, the people in Chang'an City just clasped their fists and saluted. When Li Ji appeared, the people in Chang'an City began to bow down.

This is what an extremely human minister looks like.

After leaving Chang'an City, the generals dispersed with a bang and went straight to the location of their barracks.

Naturally, Yun Chu didn't dare to be negligent. Anyone in the army knew that Li Ji had the habit of killing people and offering sacrifices to the flag before the war.

It's just that this time his son-in-law didn't come even if he was beaten to death, and he didn't know which unlucky guy he would choose to sacrifice the flag.

If you don't want to be that unlucky guy, the first thing to do is not to be caught by Li Ji.

Don't think that the sacrifice flag is just a joke, it will really be chopped off and hung on the gate as a warning to others.

Yunchu hurried into his own barracks, the marching commander Shi Wenrou had already integrated the army, and was just waiting for Yunchu and Zhong Kui to arrive.

"Hurry up, the assembly point is in the east of the city, and those who don't come within three drums will be killed! After His Majesty ascends the altar to worship the general, the army will immediately travel thirty miles."

As soon as Wen Wen's words fell, a hundred scouts had already left the gate of the camp on horseback and headed straight to the east of the city.

As soon as the scouts left, the already loaded luggage set off slowly amidst the yelling of the government soldiers, followed by the infantry, followed by Yunchu's cavalry team.

Yunchu doesn't need to worry about the marching, it's all a matter of the long history of Wenrou, in fact, there is no need to worry about Wenrou, Yunchu also has two Captains Zhiguo, ten Captains Yuhu, thirty Captains Renyong, These talents are the generals who are in charge of managing the soldiers on weekdays.

This is the military law of the Tang Dynasty. General Dingyuan like Yunchu is no fart on weekdays, and he doesn't even have the power to command any soldiers.

Not to mention Dingyuan generals like Yunchu, even Li Ji, a second-rank general of the town army, doesn't have the qualifications.

When it comes to wartime, the Ministry of War will naturally assign Yunchu, General Dingyuan, a mansion soldier. This is called a general who does not know the soldiers, and a soldier who does not know the general. Although it is not very good, it can effectively prevent the warriors from rebelling.

Seeing the army leaving the barracks in an orderly manner, Yunchu felt that this method was really good, but later on, a foolish emperor gave too much power to Jiedushi, which led to the disaster of overthrowing the country.

Yunchu's army was stationed in the south of the city, not far from the east of the city. When he heard the first drumbeat, he had already seen the tower of worship.

At this time, there were only four courtiers in complicated clothes standing at the four corners of the worshiping platform, and there was a giant cauldron in the middle that was emitting thick smoke.

Quite a few troops had already arrived around the general worship platform, and the scouts sent by Yunchu earlier had already used their positions to mark the gathering location of Yunchu's army.

For some reason, when Yunchu saw the big cauldron with thick smoke, he couldn't help being a little excited.

The great affairs of the country lie in worship and Rong.

The army is more than ten thousand, boundless, and the army that left Chang'an this time has a total of [-] people. Now they are all standing around the general worship platform, so mighty that they can almost cover the sky.

It was only at this moment that Yunchu had a clear understanding of Datang's strength.

With the end of the three drumbeats, the scene of more than 5 people immediately fell silent, except for the occasional neighing of war horses, there was no sound.

A band of hundreds of people dressed in colorful clothes came out from the gap in the north, playing and drumming. Behind these drummers were hundreds of officials in full official uniforms. Behind the hundred officials was the emperor's elder brother. Relying on the team of more than 200 meters.

Li Zhi, who was wearing a dress, came down from the Luanjia. Li Ji stepped forward to greet him, bowed down, and then waved the robe wrapped around his armor. He took a step forward, then a step back, and then a step forward, and bowed like dancing. Li Zhi three times.

After the third kneeling ceremony was over, Li Zhi supported Li Ji, and the two climbed up to the platform step by step hand in hand.

Immediately, a two-foot-high flame rose from the giant cauldron, and then, a large group of ceremony officials, holding various sacrifices, threw them into the giant cauldron one by one.

The distance was too far, and Yun Chu couldn't hear clearly what the bearded ceremony official was reading. It was probably a document for worshiping heaven, because after he finished reading, he threw the imperial edict in his hand into the giant cauldron.

That's right, the emperor is the son of heaven. Before going to war, it's better to tell God first.

"The east wind rises—"

"The south wind rises—"

"West Wind Rises—"

"North wind blows—"

The ceremony officials standing in the four corners of the southeast, northwest and north must have used all their strength, so much so that Yun Chu, who was farther away in the team, could hear their roars clearly.

Holding a joss stick, Li Zhi personally threw the joss stick into the flaming giant cauldron, and then, facing the due east position, just like Li Ji just now, danced and worshiped the sky.

Then Li Ji, who held a joss stick in his hand, repeated Li Zhi's actions just now. It seemed that he was also praying to the sky.

Then the two stood facing each other, this time Li Zhi was actually intervening in Li Jixing, Li Ji accepted it calmly.

Every time Li Zhi bent down, Li Ji yelled - he will definitely live up to his trust.

After three times, Li Ji bowed to the ground and raised his hands high. Li Zhi took out a seal ribbon from the plate held by the ceremonial officer, first held it high, then showed it to all directions, and finally put it in Li Ji's hand.

Then, Li Zhi left the platform to worship the general, and watched the ceremony with all the officials under the platform.

The ceremonial officials also left one after another. When Li Ji was the only one left on the stage, he held up his seal and ribbon so that the soldiers from all directions could see clearly. Finally, he stood in the north and shouted to the whole army: "Your Majesty has orders. , Conquer Goguryeo, and destroy this imperial food!"

The 5 people under the stage clasped their fists together and shouted loudly: "Here! Destroy this Chaoshi!"

　see you tomorrow
