() On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, there are decals for making cakes and steamed buns.

Only two days away from New Year's Eve, Taiyuan City is already full of New Year's flavor, and every household is waiting for the arrival of the New Year, but for the officers and soldiers of Yusuo Lake, the closer the New Year's Eve is, the more impetuous they will be.

On the morning of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed.

The snow didn't stop until noon, and it was distributed in large and small tents on the east bank of Yusuo Lake. The roofs of the tents were covered with a layer of snow. Except for the soldiers on routine patrols, most of the officers and soldiers hid in the tents to bake. On fire.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the low morale of the officers and soldiers makes their bodies colder.

Everyone wants to have a reunion year with their families, but for the officers and soldiers of Yusuo Lake, it is undoubtedly an extravagant hope. They don't even know if they can leave Yusuo Lake alive and return home to see their relatives.

There are no more than a thousand officers and soldiers on the east bank, and several watchtowers have been set up by the lake. There will be no shortage of people on the towers day and night, and they will always watch the situation in Yusuo Lake.

In charge of commanding the east is Lu Qianhu of the Yizhou Army.

Lu Qianhu was nearly fifty years old, and he was mature and prudent. Almost all of the one thousand soldiers guarding the east bank were the Yizhou army. Before setting off from Yizhou, Lu Qianhu did not expect that the war would fall into such a situation.

For most officers and soldiers, at the beginning, everyone thought that this was an action of countless hunters rounding up a prey. Soldiers relied on this opportunity to accumulate some military exploits.

Before setting off, Lu Qianhu even delivered a speech, encouraging his Yizhou Army to move forward bravely and to overshadow other state troops in the limelight. He also assured his soldiers that this battle would only last a few days. It will be over, and the whole army will distribute rewards at that time.

The Huang family was as rich as an enemy country, and everyone felt that after defeating Huang Tianyi, there must be a lot of confiscations, and it was naturally necessary to put them into the treasury and pay the imperial court, but it was also reasonable to draw a batch of them to reward the entire army.

But his rhetoric now seems to be a laughing stock.

The battle, which ended in a few days, has dragged on for more than a month. The most terrifying thing is that the Yizhou Army, who originally wanted to be hunters, now seems to be the prey being watched by the hunters.

Yusuo Lake hadn't been completely cleaned up yet. Occasionally, the wreckage of warships could be seen floating in the lake, and even burnt black stumps and broken legs could be seen floating to the shore.

Lu Qianhu's prestige in the Yizhou Army has been seriously damaged, and the closer the New Year is, the more serious the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the Yizhou Army soldiers.

Just two days ago, when Lu Qianhu was inspecting the camp, he even heard soldiers talking about him behind his back, some words were even quite unpleasant, the guards around Lu Qianhu were about to kill those tongue-tabbing soldiers on the spot , but was stopped by Lu Qianhu.

He is not young and energetic, but mature and prudent, who can understand the feelings of soldiers.

In the past two days, he has hardly been out of the camp, just because he felt a little ashamed, several generals under him took turns to drink with him, thinking that it was almost New Year's Eve, and on New Year's Eve, nearly a thousand Yizhou troops would definitely not be able to leave Yusuo Lake , can only celebrate the New Year here, so he has sent someone to the head of the Ministry of War to prepare the food for the New Year. At least let the soldiers spend a good year by the Yusuo Lake, so as to relieve the depressed mood of the officers and soldiers.

At dusk, several generals had already left, and Lu Qianhu was lying on a simple wooden couch, a little dizzy, and getting drunk easily when he was old.

In a daze, I suddenly heard a voice from outside the tent, "Report...!" The voice dragged on.

Lu Qianhu sat up with support, and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

A soldier entered the account and reported: "Master Qianhu, there is something wrong in the lake!"

Lu Qianhu's body shook, half sober, he pulled his boots onto the boat, and pointed to the armor on the wooden frame, "Quick, help me put it on." The soldiers stepped forward to help Lu Qianhu put on the armor, and Lu Qianhu matched it Put on the knife, get out of the big tent, and go straight to the lake.

At this time by the lake, many soldiers had already received the news, and they all gathered by the lake. When they saw Lu Qianhu approaching, several generals rushed forward to meet him, and someone said solemnly: "My lord, Yusuo Lake There is a situation over there!"

"What's the matter?" Lu Qianhu held the handle of the saber with one hand, and asked anxiously, "What the hell is Huang Tianyi going to do?" The First World War has already left a great shadow on the officers and soldiers.

"Their boat is moving," the general replied.

Lu Qianhu frowned, walked to the watchtower, and was about to climb up the watchtower, but the generals around him dissuaded him, but Lu Qianhu ignored them, went to the watchtower, and looked into the lake in the afterglow of the evening. He vaguely saw that the Huang family's boat was really moving, and seeing the movement, it seemed that it was going to come to the east bank. Seeing this, Lu Qianhu's face paled slightly.

"Pass down the order, the arrows are wound, the knives are unsheathed, and the whole army is on alert." Lu Qianhu sternly said to the watchtower: "Hurry up and send someone to inform the north bank and the south bank, saying that the Huang family is going to attack the east bank."

The subordinate generals immediately issued an order to deploy soldiers and send people to ask for help.

There are also several watchtowers on Liyu Island. Huang Tianyi is dressed in fox fur. He is standing on one of the watchtowers, looking at the east bank. Although his eyes are small, his eyesight does not seem to be bad. The bank was already crowded with black crowds, scurrying around like ants, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of their mouths.

The watchtower is not small. Beside him, Huang Zhigui put his hands behind his back, thoughtfully, Huang Tianyi smiled and said: "Old Qi, what we said is right, the officers and soldiers of the Great Qin are no longer the Great Qin Iron Cavalry 20 years ago. A group of drunks and rice bags, look at our side, they are not doing well, they are already frightened, hahahaha...!" Amidst the loud laughter, they looked very complacent.

Seeing that Huang Zhigui didn't speak, Huang Tianyi turned his head and saw that Huang Zhigui looked thoughtful, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Old Qi, what's wrong with you?"

Huang Zhigui came back to his senses, turned his eyes to the shore, and asked, "Brother, is there anything wrong with this ghost?"

"Probably not." Huang Tianyi said: "Didn't you say to break them into parts? I think they should be here soon." He asked, "By the way, how long is it before the agreed time? "

"It's only half a stick of incense." Huang Zhigui frowned and said, "But there seems to be no movement over there."

Huang Tianyi sneered and said: "If the people from Guifang delay the important matter, I will turn around and let them have nothing left."

Huang Zhigui thought for a while and asked, "Brother, our task is to contain the officers and soldiers and give Taiyuan enough time, but now that the plan has changed, will it...!"

"Old Qi, Lao Qi, what do you want me to say about you?" Huang Tianyi frowned and said, "You are a smart man, why are you confused now? Do we really want to watch that shit General Mu take Taiyuan City? He said Li said that Taiyuan City would be handed over to us, but I don’t believe what he said. We and him are just using each other. At that time, we agreed to cooperate with him, but the situation forced us to do so. Now that we have teamed up with Guifang people, we have the strength to break through and fight to Taiyuan City, so naturally we cannot let go of this opportunity."

Huang Zhigui hesitated and said: "Brother, if we go to Taiyuan City at this time, will it...will there be a conflict with Tianmen Dao?"

"Are you scared?" Huang Tianyi's expression turned serious, "Lao Qi, remember, this Anyi is not from Yingyuan, let alone from Tianmen Dao, but from our Huang family. Several generations of our Huang family have worked hard here. In the past 20 years, Anyi has been the palm of our Huang family. If he can't take Yingyuan away, Tianmen Dao can't even try to grab our territory. Yaomen evil ways, what can really happen? We must rush to Tianmen Dao Before that, take Taiyuan City...!"

Huang Zhigui nodded slightly, and Huang Tianyi said earnestly: "Lao Qi, at this moment, our Huang family has no way out. Whether we want to or not, we can only go forward. Even if we are smashed to pieces, there is only one way out." Victory, we will take Taiyuan as the foundation, control Anyi, and recruit troops. In this chaotic world, recruiting talented people may not be able to compete for the top of the world. When the time comes, we will go to Luo'an and chop Yingyuan's head as a urinal. I share the world with my seventh brother. If you lose, hehe, it’s just a life. We died once in Taiyuan before, and now this life is picked up and used to fight.”

Huang Zhigui's eyebrows were originally furrowed, but at this moment they slowly opened up, and said: "Unrest in the northwest, war in the southeast, turmoil in Liaodong, war in Hebei... this imperial court has not much wealth, what my brother said is right, let's let it go One fight, the winner is a prince and the loser is Kou, even if it is for revenge, we have to gamble!"

Huang Tianyi patted Huang Zhigui on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This is my seventh younger brother. Brothers are of the same heart, and their benefits can cut through gold. Old Seventh, with you by my elder brother's side, you and my brother will surely be able to do great things."

Huang Zhigui smiled, his face suddenly changed, and he raised his hand, "Brother, look...!"

Before Huang Tianyi turned his head, he had already faintly heard the sound of overwhelming killing. He turned his head and looked over, only to see the shore where people were already scurrying around just now, and it was already a mess at this moment.

"Brother, the ghosts are here." Huang Zhigui's eyes lit up, "They have already killed them."

Huang Tianyi also showed excitement on his face, the sky was dim, and he couldn't see clearly what happened to the shore, but the sound of fighting was quite clear, and even the silhouettes on the shore could be seen fighting each other. Swords, swords, and figures flickered, but in this moment, the ghosts seemed to have completely rushed into the camp of the Yizhou Army.

"The people from Guifang are really brave and good at fighting." Huang Tianyi touched his chin and said excitedly: "Zhigui, although the people from Guifang are brutal and stupid like pigs, they are still unambiguous in fighting." Turning around, he said: "Our men and horses are also You can move, rush over, the Yizhou army will be vulnerable...!"
