Ji Tang

Chapter 1085 A battle caused by a painting!

It's so realistic. When you see this painting, it's like being in an extremely tragic battlefield!
The big cannibal holding a scimitar and the Tang Dynasty soldier holding a horizontal sword, without delicate depiction and heavy ink, a person's expression can be portrayed to the bone with just a few strokes!

In the first picture, this is a huge battleship. The high-flying Chinese characters "Tang" and the "Ji" flag all indicate that this is the ship of Ji Song, the general manager of the Nanhai Navy Fleet of the Tang Dynasty.
But at this time, on the ship, they saw a group of giant cannibals with scimitars in their hands. They rushed forward one after another and kept charging forward. The person in front was a man wearing red tassels in battle armor and holding a horizontal sword. Tang warship.His back was turned to the painter, but everyone recognized the figure.

"Is that Ji Song?"

Whoa!
Everyone in the hall was in an uproar. The soldiers in the front were fighting with the enemy, but the commander in the rear was attacked by the enemy. Could it be that all pro-military camps were useless?

"To shut up!"

Li Shimin glared at the speaker, who immediately turned pale and shut up!
Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin continued to read. At this time, the scroll had been unfolded to more than ten feet.Due to space problems, the two eunuchs have now stopped consciously!
The style of painting on the scroll is extremely crude. A ship, a person, the sea water, and the sky are all drawn randomly, perhaps because the sea is unstable, and the different strokes of strokes can be seen everywhere in the painting!
But even such a scrawled scroll looks like a peerless treasure in the eyes of everyone.The brushwork is simple and the painting method is sloppy, but when combined organically, it appears so natural and harmonious, as if it should be that way.

"Who drew this?"

Gu Yanzhi looked sad and said, "It's your Majesty!"

Li Shimin did not look back, but simply said: "The painting is very good, this is the best painting I have ever seen!"

Then he continued to look at the scroll, and the second one turned to a farther place. At this time, everyone took a breath and saw the sea full of beacon smoke, and countless warships were emitting thick smoke. During this period, the two armies were fighting each other. You can feel how brutal it is just by looking at the scroll!

A flag in the distance stood out in the painting because it was written in a sloppy way. After looking at it for a long time, I realized that the word "Liu" was on it.

"Liu Rengui?"

Gu Yanzhi nodded and said: "It was Liu Rengui, the deputy general of the army. At the most intense moment, it was he who led the soldiers to shoot arrows and boost their morale!"

"In addition, there are Commander Shen Zhen and many generals. They all take the lead and never take a step back even in the most dangerous times!"

Li Shimin nodded and continued reading.

The third picture is a very strange picture. There is a commotion in the cannibal fleet in the distance above. A group of people are fighting on the other side's ship with weapons that look like horizontal knives!

"This is?"

Gu Yanzhi took a look and said: "That's the personal guard of Duke Xin. He was ordered to lead a death camp of 500 people to lurk into the opponent's camp from underwater and assassinate the opponent's coach!"

But then he smiled bitterly and said: "Perhaps the heroes have the same view. We didn't expect that at the same time that we assassinated each other, the Great Eater also sent more than a thousand dead soldiers to assassinate Duke Xin!"

"This Maimon should not be underestimated!"

There are really not many people who can make that kid Ji Song suffer, but Mai Meng actually thought of going together with Ji Song.

Now that Maimeng is not dead and is captured by Datang, this shows that the assassination failed in the end!

"However, although Maimon was not killed, he still forced the opponent to flee everywhere. By blocking his military orders, the Dashi army in front fought rigidly, which gave our army a fighting chance and laid the foundation for victory."

"That's right! Since the Tang Dynasty's focus has shifted to the sea, an army that can lurk in the water for such a long time must be popular among the navy!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and looked worriedly at Ji Song, who was surrounded by enemies.At this time, he was sure that this group of dead soldiers had nothing to do with Ji Song's accident!

The fourth picture immediately caught everyone's attention, and this picture was even more strange.

I saw the 'Ji' flag on a battleship disappearing, and a 'Liu' flag appeared at the highest point.Everyone's hearts trembled when they saw this, and Ji Run, who was beside him, could no longer keep calm.

"Gu Yanzhi, where is my father? Why is the coach's flag missing?"

Everyone also discovered the problem at this time. Yes, the coach is still there, why was the general changed?Or was it when the fighting was at its most brutal?
"The general manager was surrounded by dead enemy soldiers at that time. For the sake of the army, the general manager could not follow in Maimeng's footsteps, so he ordered Liu Rengui to take over the army immediately and continue to command the battle."

"And... and ordered that no one should leave his post without authorization. Anyone who disobeys the order will die!"

boom!
Everyone seemed to hear thunder exploding in their ears again. This was because they were determined to die!
Gu Yanzhi expressed what Ji Song said at that time without expression:
".Tell Shen Zhen and Liu Rengui!"

"This will be the last military order. It must be executed after receiving it, otherwise they will be the sinners of the Tang Dynasty!"

"From now on, the entire army will accept the command of Liu Rengui, and all soldiers must execute military orders. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"

"Dong Nian of the Tang Dynasty, Grand Administrative Order of Nankai Road!"

"Generals are not allowed to look back on matters in the rear. From the moment they receive the order, the commander of the army will be Liu Rengui. All generals must obey their orders. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

"As generals of the Tang Dynasty, you should live up to the trust of your family and country and kill the traitors bravely. This battle is as important as Mount Tai. If you win, the east of the strait will become the inland sea of ​​the Tang Dynasty, and the barbarians will not dare to move rashly. If you lose, Everything is at a standstill. There will never be peace along the coast of the Tang Dynasty. Enemies can come and leave whenever they want. The Tang Dynasty's road to sea development has completely failed. We will be the eternal sinners of Central Plains China!"

"Since the day I set up the army, I have been determined to die. Now that victory is in sight, you must not lose the big because of the small. I have accepted the holy order and died for the Tang Dynasty. How can I be honored? As a general, you should The body will be returned to you after being wrapped in horse leather. It is Song's destiny to die in the right place. I will live up to your majesty's kindness above and my family and country and the world below."

"We are facing a formidable enemy. All of you, please move forward bravely and do not let the thieves underestimate our Tang soldiers. This order will be my last general order!"

"The military song should be sung with a ring of swords and an oath to destroy the Hu Nu from the south.

Only undo the battlefield and die for the country, why return the shrouded body of horse leather. "

"Generals, listen to my order: All foreigners, both internal and external, who dare to declare war will be killed!"

"I hope you will return in triumph!"

Gu Yanzhi's words still linger in his ears, and it sounds like he was not thinking about himself or others in the most critical moment, but his own responsibility!
"The military song should be sung with a ring of swords and an oath to destroy the Hu Nu from the south.

Only undo the battlefield and die for the country, why return the shrouded body of horse leather. "

"A good military song should be sung with a ring of swords, but a good one should be returned wrapped in horse leather."

"A man should be like this!"

Cheng Yaojin's blood boiled when he heard this, and he wished he could go to the South China Sea to fight alongside Ji Song immediately!

"Anyone inside or outside who dares to declare war will be killed!"

Fang Xuanling took a breath: "What a domineering declaration! What a murderous aura!"

Du Ruhui danced excitedly: "But damn, listen! This is what the Tang Dynasty should be like. If you dare to show your sword in front of the Tang Dynasty, you must be prepared to die!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

An old master burst into tears with excitement and said loudly: "The strong man has Zhang Tang's declaration that 'anyone who offends my strong man will be punished no matter how far away', which frightened the Yi Di and greatly boosted our ambition in the Central Plains. Even a weak scholar can do it in the Central Plains." The enemy country is doing whatever they want, and even their king dare not do any harm!"

"Anyone inside or outside who dares to declare war will be killed!"

"Anyone who dares to declare war, both internal and external, will be killed!" "Anyone, both internal and external, who dares to declare war, will be killed!"

Everyone shouted loudly with all their strength, first inside the Tai Chi Hall, and then from the guards outside the hall.They didn't know what it was about, but it sounded so damn exciting.

As a soldier, who doesn’t love this quote?

The shouts continued to spread and spread all the way out of the palace. The guards guarding the palace stood on the wall in front of the Suzaku Gate and shouted loudly, "Anyone inside or outside who dares to declare war will be killed!" ' Declaration.

The people were confused at first, but eventually joined in. The key is that it’s so exciting!
Honglu Temple was the place where the imperial court received foreign envoys. When this sentence came here, all the envoys' faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly ran out of the street to see what happened!
The voice slowly faded away, but the words were firmly engraved in everyone's minds.

Everyone in the palace gradually calmed down. They did not expect that a mere word could have such power. The earth-shattering shouts from outside the palace were even more overwhelming.

"nice!"

Li Shimin looked at everyone's expressions and knew that this huge picture could no longer be seen by everyone.It was so inflammatory that even he had the urge to kill someone with a knife just now!
If we continue to watch, these bastards might go to Honglu Temple and Chang'an West City to kill people after leaving the palace.You must know that a large number of foreigners can survive there.

"Put it away!"

Under everyone's reluctant gazes, Li Shimin pretended not to notice their resentful looks, and cruelly put the scroll away!

Everyone knows that this scroll will become a treasure of the Tang Dynasty. If you miss it this time, it will be a blessing to see it in the future. How can you achieve your wish?

No, as soon as he finished speaking, someone jumped out.

Cheng Yaojin covered the re-covered box and glared at the two eunuchs.

"Ok?"

Li Shimin's eyes widened. He immediately gave up, but he still licked his face and said, "Your Majesty, look, you haven't finished reading this yet. Such a realistic battlefield picture is the only one in the world. It is proof of the bravery of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. It is the spirit of our Tang Dynasty soldiers. Do you think it would be more effective if placed in Wuying Pavilion? When you have nothing to do, let the Tang generals take a good look at how the Tang soldiers fight, and they will surely know how to fight. Inspire the morale of the soldiers."

So he rubbed his hands and said, "Look."

"What Duke Lu said is wrong!"

Seeing that the emperor was a little moved, Fang Xuanling stared at the civil servants and couldn't sit still.

"Your Majesty, this scroll is the work of Gu Changshi with painstaking efforts. As a civil servant, Gu Changshi was able to create such an immersive battlefield scroll. This shows that the courage of scholars is not inferior to that of military generals. If he is released, In Qilin Pavilion, it can not only inspire the bravery of civil servants, but also exercise their minds."

"I think it would be more appropriate to place it in Qilin Pavilion!"

"fart!"

Now Cheng Yaojin was anxious. This old boy was so bad that he dared to steal his own things?You usually rob others, but now you dare to rob yourself?If this old boy really succeeded, how could he be laughed at?
"rude!"

Fang Xuanling snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "What appreciation do you, a military general, know? It would be more appropriate to put it in Qilin Pavilion!"

"you"

Cheng Yaojin was completely offended by this, and he was about to roll up his sleeves and take action.

But someone was more anxious than him. An official from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has always been responsible for educating people. If this scroll is placed in the Ministry of Rites, it will be put to its best use, so that students all over the world can look up to the afternoon of the Tang Dynasty." martial arts."

"Your Majesty, please fulfill it!"

Li Shimin frowned and wanted to scold him, but before he could speak, someone else jumped out.

"Minister of the Ministry of War"

"Chen Honglu Temple."

"Ministry of Punishment"

"House Department."

The whole hall was in chaos, and everyone knew the importance of this painting.Rather than saying that it is just a picture of a battlefield, it is better to say that it is the pinnacle of the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a masterpiece that will leave its name in history and be passed down for thousands of years.

If I could have something to do with this painting, maybe I could leave a mark in the history books.This is much better than any merit. If you think about this clearly, can they still sit still?
So, everyone agreed to keep the painting in their own territory.Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin, who had been arguing just now and were about to perform a full martial arts show, were stunned.

Looking at the excited crowd, they were also Alexander.

The rolled up sleeves were wiped off without leaving a trace. Although Cheng Yaojin was often unreasonable, it didn't matter when.If I dare to do something, these hungry wolves will not eat me?

"quiet!"

Li Shimin scolded with a headache.

At this time, everyone reacted. Seeing His Majesty's anger, they quickly returned to their seats in a polite manner.

But looking at the people who were watching eagerly, Li Shimin was also terrified!
When he saw Gu Yanzhi standing in the hall, his eyes lit up.As the saying goes, the man who untie the bell must tie it, this painting was made by him, so just let him make another one.

"Gu Aiqing!"

Li Shimin shouted kindly.

"Chen is here!"

Gu Yan, who was still in a dazed state, said quickly.

He didn't expect that one of his paintings would be fought over by everyone. Is this painting really of such great value?
Why don't you know?
Seeing Gu Yanzhi's appearance, Li Shimin smiled slightly: "Ai Qing also saw it. All the ministers like your painting very much!"

Pointing at the hungry ministers in the palace, he said, "In this case, I wonder if Aiqing can paint another one?"

"This"

Gu Yanzhi glanced at the people who were watching eagerly, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of your majesty and everyone's jokes. I think that although my painting skills are good, they are only average compared with other painters."

"I also painted this painting at the request of Duke Tan. At that time, I somehow entered a wonderful state. The original nervousness disappeared, and the fighting on the battlefield also disappeared. At that time, my mind was full of thoughts. Painting.”

"As the soldiers who guarded Cheng said at that time, Cheng seemed to be a different person, and after this state disappeared, I also had an envoy to copy it."

"But no matter what, I can't paint another painting with the same artistic conception, so I can only disappoint His Majesty!"

After speaking, he bowed and looked at the emperor with some anxiety.I don’t know if I can convince the emperor of what I said?If the emperor thought that he had lied to him, that would be a great injustice!
