Chapter 30: The Battle between Western Shu and Great Chu
Dumplings, in fact, most southerners eat glutinous rice balls during the New Year.
The meaning of dumplings contains many kinds, but it does not have the meaning of auspiciousness and reunion.
But most southerners, like northerners, eat a bowl of dumplings at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.
This year was not comfortable, and Chen Bing of Xichu had no intention of leaving for a winter, as if he was going to spend time with Xishu. However, Yang Xiu is not in a hurry, Da Chu's treasury will not always be so abundant.
The young general who led the army believed that he understood this, so he would definitely take action.
The 200,000 Xishu infantry were not able to reunite with their families this year, and the 300,000 Dachu were not able to return to China.
The stalemate lasted for three whole months, and dozens of large and small wars were fought, but in general there were no losses.
In the Shu soldier camp in Qutang Gorge, this time the leader of the older generation of Western Shu, Song Qingchao, led the troops.
Song Qingchao is a generation of famous generals, and since eight years after the opening of the emperor, he has shown his fierce achievements.
In the Great Xia War of that year, he personally led 3,000 Shu cavalry to directly break through the encirclement of the 30,000 Great Xia Dynasty, creating the prerequisites for the entire Shu soldiers to attack the hinterland of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Later, in the battle with the Great Chu Dynasty, he killed Li Jingyi, a famous general in the Spring and Autumn Period at that time, Li Jingyi was the second-generation military god of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Song Qingchao became one of the top ten famous generals of the Great Sui during the twenty-five years of the emperor's reign, and guarded the western border to guard against the Great Chu Dynasty.
In the barracks, Song Qingchao looked at the generals below, and couldn't help but condense: "Da Chu, the junior general Chen Bing, has 300,000 soldiers, and he has been holding on to us for three months. There were casualties on both sides, but none of them were too serious. Their target is undoubtedly Qutang Gorge, but Qutang Gorge is absolutely inconcedible.
There are several big battles to fight in the future, so don't underestimate the enemy generals. ”
Cao Zige, the newly promoted famous general of Great Chu, is the grandson of Cao Yunfei, the military god of the Great Chu generation, and his intelligence and strategy are known as the top of this era, but unfortunately, it is a pity that he is too young.
Many people see it this way, but Song Qingchao, as the commander of the First Army, will not underestimate this enemy general at all. In these few times, the winning rate of both sides is half of each.
Song Qingchao was sure that if he put all his military forces into the battlefield, Cao Zige's 300,000 Cao family troops would definitely be driven away by himself.
But no one would do that. First, Cao Zige's 300,000 Cao family troops are also veterans of the Cao family, and they will definitely not fight for a piece of land, even if this land may affect the national situation, but this is also the foundation of the Cao family's foothold in Dachu, and they are absolutely reluctant to lose too much.
The same is true of Xishu, there are indeed many strong men in Xishu. Moreover, Xishu is the best soldier in the world, which is recognized by the entire five countries. If it's lost, then it's really painful.
However, since the two armies are facing each other, they must fight a war, otherwise these months will not be wasted. Great Chu didn't have to destroy the Xishu infantry, firstly, this was impossible, and secondly, they had to show their strong military capabilities, and it would be better if they could take the opportunity to occupy Qutang Gorge.
The orders were issued one by one, and everyone's eyes also focused on Qutang Gorge, the natural barrier of the Great Sui Dynasty, I don't know if the Xishu infantry will still be so brave after all these years of silence.
Qutang Gorge, it is rumored that sending 200,000 elite soldiers to garrison can block a million troops.
No one knows if this is true, because no one has ever tried it, and no one has been able to hit it from this place, and the natural first barrier is well deserved.
While the discussion was being made, a messenger from outside the tent quickly ran into the tent.
"Qi Qi Marshal, the enemy army has come to the envoy, and he asks to meet the marshal!"
Song Qingchao, a veteran of the Spring and Autumn Period, sighed, he already knew what it meant to be coming, but he had to see it, and he was not afraid to see it. The 200,000 foot soldiers of Xishu have never been afraid of others, especially Da Chu.
The people who came entered the big tent and looked at the generals but felt like they were wandering around their back garden. made everyone dislike, but it didn't show it, the Great Sui had the bearing of the Great Sui Dynasty.
"The handsome is polite, I am a guest of the Cao family of the Great Chu army, and I am specially ordered by my lord to send a battle post. With that, he took out a letter from his bosom.
And a hint of coldness flashed in Song Qingchao's eyes, he had naturally heard of the character Qu Buping. It's not that he is talented, but that this person is heinous, naturally for the people of the Great Sui Dynasty.
He dared to report his name, and it seemed that he was sure that he would not kill him. Naturally, from ancient times to the present, this is also the truth, the two armies do not fight each other.
The eight or so generals all showed unkind expressions when they looked at Qu Buping, but their eyes kept stopping at Song Qingchao's body, as long as the big commander spoke, then no matter what iron law he had, he would directly raise a knife and cut people.
If Yang Weiyang would definitely ignore them, he would just cut them directly. For him, what battlefield covenant is not an alliance, everything must go according to his heart.
And Song Qingchao didn't answer the post, but just looked at Qu Buping's body with a slight murderous aura.
Qu Buping was a little panicked at the moment, but he still pretended to be calm. He believed that the Great Sui Dynasty would not cultivate hooligans, and war hooligans were quite terrifying.
And if I die, it's really a pity to die!
Qu Buping pretended to be calm and said: "Why doesn't Song Dashuai dare to take the post!"
The others were angry, but they didn't speak, but the murderous spirit couldn't be concealed.
Song Qingchao smiled slightly, but his eyes were cold: "I'm just thinking about how to kill you!"
Qu Buping sneered: "Song Dashuai will not violate the battlefield covenant! The two armies are fighting, and if you don't kill them, it is difficult for you Song Dashuai to risk the heavens and kill me, the messenger." ”
Song Qingchao sneered: "If it were to others, I really wouldn't be like this, but you should die if you don't have peace." You reminded me of what the little prince often said, people have to be happy when they live, if they don't go well, what can they do if they are angry to death? So you should die!"
At this moment, Qu Buping was really panicked, but he didn't expect that this time he would die on an unintentional word from the prince of Xishu.
The grievances of death, the wrongs of death.
And Song Qingchao also knew that this person was sent by Da Chu for them to kill.
Great Chu can't tolerate him, the world can't tolerate him, and Chu State is not willing to do it himself, so he can only let the people of the Great Sui Dynasty do it.
This love must be inherited, and it has nothing to do with this war.
In the camp of the Great Chu army, Cao Zige, who was known as a famous general in the Spring and Autumn Period, looked in the direction of the Xishu army and said: "You deserve to die, but we have also accepted your love over the years." The general trend of the world, who can judge arbitrarily, the Cao family is just seeking a glimmer of life, don't blame me!"
