Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 436: The Battle of Quarrying (5)

The sun has set, and the mountains, water, and houses are gradually shrouded in dim light. $.. There was a monotonous whistle sound from nowhere. It was a simple whistle made of grass and leaves. There was no melody and the voice was very small. The hoarse voice was inexplicably sad.

Yao Erniu has eaten dinner, and the wheat cakes are covered with cold water; he is sitting on the thatch under a tree, his knees propped up, his hands hug his knees to keep warm... The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Ben Army in Shipo Mountain are unexposed The ambush soldiers need concealment and are not allowed to burn fire. He looked to the north, and there was light on the edge of the sky. It was the southern Tang army camp a few miles away that lit the bonfire; it was early November, and the night was very cold, and the soldiers of the southern Tang were burning the fire to keep warm.

The Tiger Ben Army soldiers can only survive the cold.

I heard that the Southern Tang Army has fifty thousand, and there are still twenty miles away to the east! The Southern Tang Army on the north bank of the Suoxi River was already very close, and even the flames could be seen. It is estimated that they will be fighting early tomorrow morning.

Several people around were trembling from the cold. Some people were already wrapped in quilts, but everyone was silent; someone in the distance was talking quietly, and from time to time there was a horse making a sneezing sound. Hidden in the mountains and forests, the main reason is that you can't ignite and raise smoke, but the sound is not easy to spread.

At this moment, Yao Erniu took out an embroidered purse from his arms and looked at it in the dim light.

The scene of the day he left Tokyo appeared in his mind. When he walked through a corner of the alley, a lady suddenly appeared, stuffed this thing in his hand and turned around; the moment she ran away, Yao Erniu Seeing that her ears were red... that girl was his cousin, the daughter brought by the aunt who fled.

Perhaps the cousin thinks Yao Erniu can make money very well. In the difficult years, Yao Erniu's military pay and rewards are indeed very good.

Yao Erniu rubbed his purse for a while, and remembered the old man who walked with sticks, and went to the city gate every day to collect the vegetables that the farmers carried into the city at a low price, and then took the old lady who sold vegetables at the gate, and other people...

He hopes that he won't die in tomorrow's battle, and hopes that he can win the battle and score the money in Jiangning City.

...

The quarry wharf Chinese army camp. Lanterns are hung on the wall to make the classical buildings appear more oriental and elegant, and the contrast between light and dark makes the environment slightly thicker.

Li Chuyun said sternly: "Just like Tian Ji's horse racing, the worst part of our military (Gao Yanjian) is the best against the forwards of the Southern Tang Army; then the first-class men are sloppy and the second-class soldiers, Long Jiejun, will face the rest of the Southern Tang Army. This is the main force of the team. This is the way to secure the victory, to be invincible first... However, a complete victory is impossible. The Nantang forward will break through the defense to Dangtu."

"The main commander of the forward of the Southern Tang Army is Lin Renzhao, and the main commander is Huangfu Jixun despite the number of people on the side of Suoxihe." Guo Shao thought.

Li Chuyun fell silent after listening. There were other generals in the lobby, and everyone didn't speak. The atmosphere is a bit solemn, and people inevitably and sometimes face such difficult choices.

Guo Shao paced around in the middle of the lobby. There were a lot of people present, but they were very quiet. When he spoke, he seemed to whisper: "On the eve of this war, everyone has their own expectations and dreams. Soldiers want to make contributions, they want to appreciate their merits..."

He looked back around, with the light of lanterns in his eyes, "And I want to end the civil war as soon as possible; we still have a lot to do, but life is too short. I hope that one day the land of Kyushu can end the chaos, poverty, and weakness and recover. The glory of the Han and Tang dynasties, every place name with deep foundation can be circulated among the nations, everyone can raise their heads to be a man, and can let their families live a life of food and clothing. This country should have dignity."

Guo Shao said it a little moved, without any false sense of acting, "We will bleed and die, but all this is worth it!"

His expression and voice were very provocative. Dong Zunzuo was relatively young and was completely moved. He looked at Guo Shao with admiration. Even Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao were a little moved.

Dong Zunzuo said: "Uncle just give the order, no matter how hard it is, you will never question your military order!"

Guo Shao's expression became firm, and he turned his head and said decisively to Li Chuyun: "General Li has to use more than 10,000 troops to stand alone against Huangfu Jixun's 50,000 army! If you find it hard to resist the quarry, let the navy generals come ashore. Array!"

The generals present are very familiar with Guo Shao, and instinctively trust Guo Shao's decision. Without saying a word, Li Chuyun clasped his fist and said, "Take Ling!"

Guo Shao added: "Shi Yanchao, Dong Zunhao and I led the First, Second, and Third Armies of the Tigers and Cardinals to leave Shipo Mountain tomorrow morning and reinforce Gao Yanjian to the southeast, first defeating Lin Renzhao.

When dispatching, the movement should be large and the fireworks should be lit at Shipo Mountain; flags should be erected and suspected soldiers should be arranged. Huangfu Jixun of Suoxihe discovered that there was an ambush in Shipo Mountain. He might be frightened, and he didn't dare to act rashly... It is best to delay the stay. We can make a time difference and turn around to deal with Huangfu Jixun. "

A group of generals clasped their fists to answer.

After Guo Shao deployed his tactics, he and the generals in front of the palace rushed to Shipo Mountain overnight. Guo Shao was usually cautious, but at some point, he was still very courageous... he was not courageous and did not dare to launch a mutiny last year.

Ten thousand horses were deployed in the entire forest of Shipo Mountain, but at night they could not be seen at all, and several mountains were completely dark. Guo Shao and the others went along a road in the forest to the third army, and inspected the situation of the soldiers along the road.

It was really bitter in this weather, and no fire was allowed. The soldiers piled up hay in the tent, then wrapped them with blankets and quilts, and drilled into the hay, so that they could barely keep out the cold. When Guo Shao walked to a camp, he drew near by moonlight and saw some soldiers trembling with cold.

"Meet Mr. Guo," a burly man said.

Guo Shao recognized someone: "You are Zhang Jiankui."

"Yes, it is the end general." Zhang Jiankui hurriedly said, "The end general strictly complies with the Chinese military order, prohibiting soldiers from setting fire and making noise. Look at this, the Southern Tang Army doesn't know that we are here. These are several low mountains. See the scout coming."

Guo Shaozan said: "You are doing well." He turned around and said to Dong Zunzhu: "I still can't light the fire tonight, just in case Lin Renzhao learns about the ambush here overnight, so that he can guess our possible intentions. Lin Renzhao seems to be a servant. Very good at using soldiers."

Dong Zunzuo said: "Uncle's words are extremely true."

Guo Shao said: "You can start cooking tomorrow morning. Let everyone have a hot meal before the war."

A few people said a few words, and Guo Shao followed Zhang Jiankui to the camp to see the soldiers. Some people were already asleep, and they stretched out their heads that weren't asleep, and when they saw it was the commander, they got up and paid respect.

"Dashuai Guo comes to see the soldiers." Zhang Jiankui's voice said.

At this time, many people gathered around. Guo Shao said: "It's cold, don't get up, you go to the bed."

After that, I saw a soldier standing behind with a quilt wrapped around him. Guo Shao noticed him and asked, "Can I get past the night?"

The soldier hesitated and didn't say a complete sentence.

"I ask you something!" Zhang Jiankui said grimly, "Yao Erniu, it's you again. Others don't get up in a quilt, you alone are the most precious! Can you freeze to death in a while?"

When Yao Erniu heard this, he quickly threw the quilt on the ground, hesitatingly said: "Director Zhang... Tell me if I can't speak, stop talking..."

Zhang Jiankui said annoyed: "His|mother, you have a pimple, I told you not to talk too much, not that you didn't answer!"

Guo Shao hurriedly stopped Zhang Jiankui: "Stop scolding. It's not on the battlefield, let's just come and see, don't have to be so strict."

He walked over, picked up the quilt on the ground with his own hands, wrapped it around Yao Erniu, and said, "It's cold, who is not afraid of the cold if it is raised by parents?" The soldiers around were all looking sideways.

Yao Erniu looked very nervous there, still not knowing how to speak.

Guo Shao patted Yao Erniu on the shoulder and said, "As long as you don’t violate military discipline, you don’t get out of the battlefield. Don’t talk about seeing me wrapped in a quilt, you just scold me in person, and I can’t find a reason to punish you... It says that people are not allowed to wrap the quilt at night?"

All the soldiers laughed.

Guo Shao recalled all the soldiers and soldiers: "You and others have followed me for several years in the South and North wars. There are countless battles, big and small, and I know who I am. Whoever has meritorious deeds, regardless of relatives or personal affiliations, is treated equally! No matter who it is, stand up. You will be rewarded for your work, and you will be a commander if you do great work!"

He also said to the low- and middle-level military commanders around him: "Brothers went into battle to bleed for the sake of the world and sacrifice for others. As long as you are not scorned by military law, you must be kind to the soldiers."

Guo Shao left here and changed places. All the troops respectfully said goodbye to "Dashuai Guo".

...

In the Jiannan Army camp at this time, Gao Yanjian was also agitating the generals of the Shu army. The commanders and generals above were all in the Chinese army. The surrounding fire was blazing, and many soldiers were here.

Gao Yanjian said loudly: "Shu will return to the court sooner or later, and now the Kingdom of Shu no longer exists, but the people of the Kingdom of Shu and our fathers and villagers have not been slaughtered and looted in their hometowns~www.readwn.com~ Everyone will pass by. Very good. Restoration in this way is the best result.

Gao is also a general of Shu, and his brothers are not only from Shu, but also descendants of China. The current court wants to dominate the world, it is to end the separatist war between the same clan and the same clan! We are not selling our lives for others, but for the people of the same race in the whole world. "

People listened silently, maybe many people didn't care about this, but at least no one would hate the court of the Great Zhou, nor reject their minds. As Gao Yanjian said, the Central Plains and Shu are not alien races after all, unless the people in power are too cruel|violent, the people of Shu have never felt that they are uncomfortable.

Gao Yanjian continued: "After we Shu people join the Great Zhou court, tomorrow is the first battle. Brothers must come bravely with blood. Don't let the court look down on us Shu people, don't let the Southern Tang people look down on us.

In the future, the position of Gao and you in the court, and the reputation of the Jiannan Army in the eyes of the people of the world, depend on this battle! Ben will fight side by side with his brothers tomorrow, with the determination to win, and if he fails, he will be benevolent, and he will never take a step back! For those who fled the battle, the six relatives do not recognize that they will not be amnesty, and Xiu blames this for disregarding the feelings of the fellows! "
