"Wen is dead, and martial arts are fighting to the death?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the Northern Wei Dynasty, from the generalissimo and the supervising army to the captains and pioneers, they were discussing military affairs, but they suddenly heard the Tanmalai newspaper, which summarized the actions of the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty in these six short words.

The people in the room hesitated for a moment, chewing on the true flavor of these words, and then most of them burst into laughter.

In just a moment, the full room of sergeants began to discuss:

"This Northern Qi monarch is already exhausted, isn't it because he wants to die with me?"

"At the end of the strong crossbow, I can't measure my strength!Hmph, they also deserve it?"

"Yecheng has been besieged by us for several days, seeing that there is no strong reinforcement outside the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the inner city is turbulent, if we take the opportunity to attack, we will definitely be able to capture Yecheng in a few days, and make this immortal achievement, generalissimo, the last general and so on!"

"Yes, Generalissimo, the last general is willing to lead the troops into battle!"

"The last general and others will join us in the battle!"

......

Before the words fell, a large number of people knelt in the hall, all of whom were generals who were attacking the main force.

Generalissimo Shuo Wang Xiao Tang stared in contemplation, calm, and did not rush to answer, but just glanced at the young prison soldier sitting with his right hand in his lower hand, wanting to see how he responded.

I pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt that the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty would say such bold words about the survival of the country, with a little appreciation and at the same time felt a little absurd, and regardless of the fact that the monarch of the Northern Qi Dynasty is no longer in Yecheng now, those ministers who only know the power on weekdays are really so bold and determined to dare to die for the country?

There may be some loyal servants, but not all!

When I raised my head, I received the generalissimo's probing gaze, and I felt that the corners of my mouth were raised, and I looked at the general who knelt down in the hall, waved his hand, and said with a smile:

"The generals' dedication to the war is admirable, and I ask you to get up quickly. ”

The generals heard what the overseer said, looked at the generalissimo again, and saw that the generalissimo bowed slightly, so the generals stood up and returned to their original places, listening quietly.

I made up my mind and continued:

"Just as the generals said, our army's morale is now high, if we want to storm Yecheng, it will be sooner or later, but the book of war also has a cloud: the soldiers who surrender without a fight are also the good ones! It can be seen that if we can cut down the enemy's forces as much as possible and minimize the casualties of our army, it is the most famous method of warfare. ”

Some generals are unhappy, especially the prison army crossed the generals to the Northern Qi to throw a "peace talk", although this discussion was supported by the generalissimo, but most of the generals and the Northern Qi Dynasty have a common hatred, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty have a hundred years of war, you attack me, the brothers and bones were killed, the family was killed, the country hated the family, a hundred years of precipitation, so far it has long been clear how to care about this blood debt, now the Northern Qi Yecheng is about to be breached, it is a good time for the generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty to kill the enemy to repay the country and eliminate the enemy, how can you let it go?

Immediately, the generals of the main station stood up one after another, and said indignantly:

"Hearing what the prison army said, is it in favor of peace talks with Qi thieves?"

"Needless to say, the so-called "Book of Discussion" has already been handed over, let's lower our posture and let the group of young people in Northern Qi laugh at it, and they are ashamed to say that they want to fight with us to the end, which is really beyond our strength!"

"The trapped beast is still fighting, resisting stubbornly, waiting for us to enter the city, and wash the city in blood!"

"Yes, go into the city and wash the city in blood!"

......

In just a moment, the slogan of "Bloody Yecheng" became more and more intense, and most of the sergeants were already a little restless and demanded to storm Yecheng.

I frowned, unconsciously slapped, and said angrily:

"Those who dare to say 'bloody Yecheng' again, the national law is first, the military law is last, and they will not be pardoned!"

Not comprehending the general's astonishment, I immediately let out a loud sigh and said:

"Someone, please come out of the talisman to warn the generals!"

The symbol represents the identity of the emperor, and all the envoys who hold the festival represent the emperor in person, symbolizing the emperor and the country, and such officials are the envoys, who can exercise the right on behalf of the emperor and kill civil and military officials below 2,000 stones.

When Ah Zheng invited the runes out, the generals immediately looked at each other, and they all retreated back to their original places, not daring to say fierce words again.

I flicked my sleeves angrily, left my seat, bowed to the generalissimo, and when the generalissimo nodded in agreement, I turned to look at the generals, and saw that they were unwilling on all sides, and it was clear that they were not afraid of me, but of the royal power represented behind me.

"Gao Chen knows in his heart that the generals will not obey my Gao Chen, just because I Gao Chen has no merit for the country, but I have to invite the holy favor, give me a high position, and mingle in the court; now I am fortunate to be loved by the Empress Dowager, and I have the responsibility of supervising the actions of the generals and rewarding the good and punishing the evil, although Gao Chen has no talent and no virtue, but he does not dare to disobey the holy grace of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor and slack off a little, Gao Chen strictly obeys the holy decree, and no one dares to openly disobey the imperial decree!"

Seeing that I was filled with righteous indignation and had words, the generals suddenly felt aggrieved in their hearts, and some people stood up to refute it.

"The words of the senior supervisor are serious, the generals are dedicated to the country, regard death as home, bravely kill the enemy, destroy the enemy, splash blood on the battlefield, raise the prestige of my Northern Wei Dynasty, comfort my soul of loyalty, and now this move has made me become a disloyal and unfilial person in the mouth of the prison army, this crime, the last general can not afford it!"

I was moved with affection, knew with righteousness, and said:

"Wei Qi's hundred-year dispute, the conquest of soldiers, countless casualties, such a sea of blood and deep hatred, how could Gao Chen not know? But today, if the generals are angry for a while, and the blood washes Yecheng, then the generals will not only be disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, but also the sinners of the Northern Wei Dynasty!"

At this point, all the generals felt shudder in their hearts, and they all thought that what the young prisoner said was really exaggerated, and there was a suspicion of alarmism, so some people could not wait to speak out to refute it.

"High Supervisor ......"

Without waiting for anyone to refute it, I spoke sharply, reprimanded him severely, and said:

"Have the generals ever remembered that on the eve of the army's expedition, the Empress Dowager personally issued an edict that if the Eastern Expeditionary Army conquered one place and one city, it must not infringe on the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and those who said 'blood washed Yecheng' are blatantly disobeying the will of the imperial court and are disloyal!"

As soon as they heard this, the generals were silent and silent.

"Today, there are 500,000 soldiers and civilians in Yecheng, less than 30,000 garrisons, and more than 400,000 innocent people in the city.

I argued with reason, and continued:

"Even if in the end, our army can break through Yecheng, at that time, do you want to kill all the men, women, and children in the city, and leave no one behind?

If this is the case, what is the difference between the tyranny of my Northern Wei Dynasty and the tyranny of the Lord of Qi?! The battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, the Qin army killed the Zhao army and surrendered 400,000 soldiers, since then the history books on the Qin State tyrannical and ferocious infamy is endless, with tigers and wolves evil, hate, if my Northern Wei slaughtered 500,000 soldiers and civilians in Yecheng, justice and people's hearts, the world criticizes, and what kind of situation do you want to put my Northern Wei in? Such a misguided country and a mistaken king, after a hundred years of monarchs, what face will they see under the ancestors and the nine springs, this is unkindness and unfilial piety!"

After a period of subdued speeches, there was already a dead silence all around, and I confided all the thoughts and thoughts in my heart in one breath, and my heart was full of anger, but I suddenly felt that my heart was empty, and there was still a bit of sourness and unwillingness......

I didn't realize that my eyes had already been covered with a layer of mist, and it was difficult to be a courtier who was loyal to the monarch and the country, and it was even more difficult to be a courtier who cared for the world and the country and the people.

"Gao Chen, never do this disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous thing, and never do this eternal sinner!"

After finishing his words, the generalissimo, who had been sitting upright, couldn't help but praise and said:

"Okay, the senior superintendent's words are far-sighted and deafening, and the generals should be ashamed when they hear it!"

When the generals heard this, they knelt down on one knee and said in unison:

"The last general is ashamed, and he doesn't dare to mention such rash words as 'slaughtering the city'!"

The generalissimo bowed his head slightly and said:

"Now that the war is a key battle, I hope that the generals will not be anxious for quick success, guard against arrogance and rashness, and think of the common people in the world and loyalty to the country, complement each other with civil and military forces, work together, and subdue the land of Northern Qi as peacefully as possible, so as to build the immortal merit of my Northern Wei Dynasty!"

"The last general and others must obey the generalissimo's orders!"

"Get up!"

"Generalissimo Xie!"

When the generals got up, they all saluted me with their fists and said:

"I also thanked the senior supervisor for his righteous advice!"

I was also busy and replied politely:

"Confession!"

With that, he went back to his seat.

The bloody battle over Yecheng came to an end, but the army had not yet determined whether the battle strategy for Yecheng was to attack or persuade to surrender, but after a while, some generals raised their own questions.

"Generalissimo, since the Peace Document has been submitted, there is no need to discuss whether or not to negotiate peace. Now my army of more than 100,000 troops besieged Yecheng, the daily loss of grain and grass is huge, and in order to rescue more than 200,000 Northern Qi refugees who fled to Yecheng, the army has evenly distributed more than half of the grain and grass military supplies for assistance, according to this calculation, within a month, our army will be short of food and grass, before that, if we do not break through Yecheng as soon as possible, I am afraid that the good situation of our Northern Wei Dynasty's Eastern Expedition will no longer exist. ”

"Yes, Generalissimo, since they don't want to negotiate peace, then it's not too much for me to wait for the first salute and then the soldiers. ”

"Generalissimo, we can't wait any longer, I'll wait for the war!"

......

In a few moments, the argument began to intensify again, and the generals used the shortage of food and grass as an excuse to take the opportunity to silence me, the overseer, who had proposed to use military rations to relieve the victims of the disaster, because they were already well aware of my position, that is, they wanted to end the war through peace.

As a sergeant who uses military industry as a means of promotion, capturing Yecheng, the capital of Northern Qi, is an immortal achievement, and no one will easily agree to this excellent opportunity for meritorious service on the battlefield.

Seeing that there was no hope for the peace agreement advocated by the prison army and endorsed by the generalissimo, the generals naturally rejoiced in their hearts, and one by one they began to stand up again and ask for battle.

These literati only know how to dance and write, and show off their literary talents, where do they know the harshness of the battlefield, only the city captured by iron-blooded suppression is the most solid, if the enemy is not convinced, then fight until they are served!

If I can't understand the thoughts of their group of generals, it's just that I've been planning for this matter for a long time, and I definitely can't let this group of generals stir up chaos.

Facing the generalissimo, he clasped his fists and saluted, saying:

"Generalissimo, please forgive Gao Chen for his rudeness, Gao Chen wants to ask the generals first, if the overall planning is done properly, how long will it take for the generals to capture Yecheng?"

When the generals heard that the prison army also had the idea of attacking the city, they couldn't help but feel proud in their hearts, and sure enough, in the end, it still had to rely on their generals to come out!

The triumphant feeling was overflowing, and then a military general replied:

"At the latest, you can capture Yecheng in half a month!"

I pondered for a moment, and then I spoke:

"If Gao Chen can make a bloodless sword within three days and let the monarchs and ministers of Yecheng go out of the city to surrender, are the generals willing to let Gao Chen give it a try?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they all felt that this weak scholar was too arrogant, and he didn't know how thick the sky was!

Someone saw in it that there was something that could make a big fuss, and they were afraid that this senior supervisor would talk back, so he immediately jumped out and said:

"Please also ask the senior supervisor to be cautious, you must know that there is no joke in the army!"

I nodded solemnly and replied very seriously:

"Gao Chen is willing to make a military order in front of all the generals, and if this trip fails, he is willing to ambush him!"

When everyone heard this, they didn't feel a little more appreciative and good impression of this handsome prison army.

Immediately someone sneered and said:

"The senior supervisor army is the empress dowager's hand-picked escort supervisor, and he is also a horse supervisor, wearing many hats, who dares to be so rebellious and kill the court officials?"

Full of sarcasm and slander.

I sneered and said:

"Since Gao Chen is the superintendent of the army, he is subject to military law, and the generalissimo is in charge of the army, the military and political commanders of the three armies, and he can kill the envoys of the festival in his hand, and the law will not be merciful! If Gao Chen violates the military law, the generalissimo will be punished according to the law, and he will not show favoritism, and Gao Chen will be killed by the neck, and he will never regret it!"

Hearing this, someone immediately praised:

"The senior superintendent army is so bold and courageous!"

As soon as he had finished speaking, the man turned to the generalissimo and said:

"If the senior supervisor army can really make such miraculous feats for the country, its courage and strategy are by no means comparable to ordinary people, why don't the generalissimo pity his sincere heart, and the quasi-senior supervisor army is invited, so that the senior supervisor army will make a military order in public to secure the three armies, and three days later, we can be in the Yecheng Imperial Palace, and celebrate the success of the senior supervisor!"

"The last general seconded!"

......

After speaking, another military general jumped out and echoed it, and everyone looked at the generalissimo, wondering what the generalissimo would do.

The generalissimo saw that my eyes were firm, and there was no joke, and he knew that I had made up my mind, and if I hadn't prepared in advance, I would never dare to boast about such a sea mouth at will, but it was a matter of life and death, and the generalissimo still didn't want to make a decision too hastily, so he asked solemnly:

"Does the senior superintendent really want to make this military order? There is no joke in the army!"

I got up and solemnly bowed to the generalissimo, and said in a solemn voice:

"Gao Chen is willing to make a military order, but before that, he also promised to make three chapters with the generals!"

Chapter 3 of the Covenant?

Hearing this, there was a lot of commotion among the generals, but it was more of a mockery and ridicule, and some people whispered:

"This hasn't taken Yecheng yet, so I'm starting to learn the Han Gaozu Xianyang Covenant!"

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard this.

"If the senior superintendent army is willing to make that military order, I don't want to say that it is the third chapter of the law, even the fourth or fifth chapter, generals, do you say?"

No one believed that Gao Chen could make the Yecheng monarchs and ministers raise troops and surrender within three days on their own, if so, what else would they want their group of warriors to do in the future?

Soon, the generals present nodded yes in agreement.

I saw that there was no objection from everyone, and as I expected, I said with a smile:

"There is no joke in the army, and the generals will say yes. The three chapters of the covenant mentioned by Gao Chen are also the covenant between Han Gaozu and his father in Xianyang: those who kill people die, those who injure others are punished, and those who steal are punished! After taking Yecheng, when the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty entered Yecheng, generals and officials at all levels violated this law and left behind farmers and businessmen.

When the generals heard this, their faces couldn't help but change, the Northern Wei sergeants could still take action against those big officials and wealthy businessmen before, but if these rules were really strictly enforced, they would have to do nothing against the people of Yecheng, and it would be easier to restrict themselves, but if they wanted to limit their subordinates like wolves, they had to cut off their arms by themselves and kill people to legislate as a deterrent.

Only then did the generals gradually appreciate the power of this weak scholar in front of him, even if he died, he wanted to pull a group of backs!

It's really hateful!

I laughed out loud, and then exclaimed:

"Bring pen and paper!"

The clerk immediately presented the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Without further ado, I picked up a pen dipped in ink, and in the uneasy astonishment of the generals, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and this paper military order was completed in one fell swoop!

"Military orders are like mountains, and they must not be disobeyed! If they violate this situation, they are willing to be the head of the war!

With a loud shout, I threw the brush in my hand at will, a group of literati arrogant, unwilling to give in easily!

No one shall be proud, but he shall not be without pride!

Immediately, I laughed, turned around, and strode away...... 166 Reading Network
