From the second day onwards, Liu Qi just insisted on it, Xu Wen either launched an attack before dawn, or suddenly attacked in the middle of the night, but Liu Qi saw through it. Xu Wen sent people to insult and challenge, but Liu Qi just cowered in that mountainous area and didn't come out.

Yang Yingqi said to Yang Kaiyuan after knowing it: "It seems that he is afraid of losing!" If you continue to consume like this, it will become an undefeated game in the end. But according to the rules, in the end, if there is no complete victory or defeat, you can only count the numbers. So in the end, he still had to lose! "The so-called number is borrowed from the expression of Go, which means to see which side has the most people left.

Yang Kaiyuan said: "Even if you lose this battle, you can't underestimate this person." ”

Yang Yingqi asked why, Yang Kaiyuan said: "If he retreats directly into the cottage, then I won't watch this exercise." But he didn't do it, but made great efforts to keep Xu Wen out of the mountainous area. There were many ways out of that mountainous area, and according to his strength, he could not assign troops to guard every exit. It can be said that his defense is facing the dilemma of more pits and fewer turnips. But every time Xu Wen divided his troops to attack, he could always guess the direction of Xu Wen's attack, and there were a few times when he was so accurate that even I couldn't figure out how he guessed! ”

Yang Yingqi asked: "Third brother, what do you mean ......?"

"In the art of war, this is called anticipating the enemy's first opportunity." Yang Kaiyuan said: "We have set up a military academy in Liaokou, how to train, how to organize, and even how to boost morale have summed up a set of methods that can be learned and taught. But this is a difficult to impart—or even a knowledge that cannot be taught. ”

Yang Yingqi was stunned, and then smiled: "Third brother, don't talk too much about this kid, he is not a famous general like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, so I don't believe that he has anything great." ”

Yang Kaiyuan said strangely: "Yue Fei? Han Shizhong? Which dynasty is that? ”

Yang Yingqi stuck out his tongue and said: "I'm talking about the seeds of famous generals, seeds of famous generals, well, these two are young people I am very optimistic about." ”

Yang Kaiyuan said disdainfully: "Famous general seeds? There will be good and bad, but whether you can become famous depends on luck. Many times the luck is so little bit worse, and the famous generals have to become a joke. ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said, "What the third brother said is true, what he said." ”

Yang Kaiyuan asked again: "Which army are the two people you are talking about?" If even you have alarmed you, I have no reason not to know. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "They shouldn't be in our Han Department." ”

Yang Kaiyuan was even more surprised when he heard it: "Where is that?" ”

"In the Great Song."

"Great Song? Why haven't I heard of it? What good battles have you fought? ”

"Most of them haven't made a name for themselves yet." Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "Actually, I have a congenital hexagram, so I know that there will be such two people who will become famous generals." ”

Yang Kaiyuan laughed and scolded when he heard this: "Congenital hexagram, I heard that you like to listen to strange stories recently, not only do you listen to it yourself, but you also make it up for the storyteller to say." Did you overdo it, and your head got up? ”

For four consecutive days, Liu Qi was always on the defensive, and he had no intention of attacking with half a point. The white soldiers slowly slackened, and some soldiers felt that such a fake battle without suspense day after day was too boring, and even wanted to die in battle to rest. Even Xu Wen thinks that Liu Qi is shrinking like this, so that he doesn't have to lose too badly in the end. But on the morning of the sixth day, the situation suddenly changed!

On this day, Xu Wen still commanded the attack as usual, and the attack did not last long, and the rear suddenly burst into flames, according to the rules, no matter what happened on this "battlefield", Yang Kaiyuan would not send someone to inform the generals on both sides, so Xu Wen was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the news, and only after inquiring did he know that Haizhai, the base of the White Army, was on fire, and the fire was not small!

This fire is naturally not an accident, it turned out that Liu Qi sent 500 elite soldiers last night to detour from an exit on the right side of the mountain and hide in the forest halfway between the two villages of the mountains and seas. After the east turned white, Xu Wen led his troops to attack Liu Qi as usual, but the five hundred soldiers and horses went around Xu Wen's back, "killed" the few defenders of Haizhai, and burned the village with a fire. Here, Xu Wen's main force was dragged by Liu Qi's main force, although the strength was superior, but still could not destroy the black army, and when he heard that the rear was on fire, he hurried back to rescue, Liu Qi commanded the soldiers and horses to follow the pursuit, and only one counterattack ate Xu Wen's five hundred soldiers and horses.

When Xu Wen returned to the beach, the village had turned into a sea of fire, and in a fit of rage, he sent people to complain to Yang Kaiyuan, the chief supervisor of the military exercise, that Liu Qi was unruly. When Yang Kaiyuan heard this, he scolded the envoy sent by Xu Wen and said, "If you are allowed to attack at night, why don't you burn the village?" You still call yate yons to be generals! Now that even the base camp has been lost, I see how you will fight this battle! ”

Xu Wen was annoyed and angry, and while the soldiers still had strength, he commanded the army to counterattack in the mountainous area where Liu Qi was located. Liu Qi still did not go out of the city to face the battle, but instead shrunk the battle line and relied on the cottage to defend the base area without leaking. At this time, there were more than 4,000 people under Xu Wen, and there were only more than 3,000 under Liu Qi, so in terms of troops, Xu Wen still had the advantage. But the Black Army had just burned down the White Army's stockade, and morale was high. Although Xu Wen's counterattack offensive was fierce, he couldn't take advantage of half a point.

The day gradually moved westward, both sides slowly fought hungry and tired, Liu Qi collected his troops and horses and returned to the village, taking turns to eat and rest, but the white army over there could only run to the river to drink water, at this time they only had to admit defeat to get supplies, but where could Xu Wen and others swallow this breath? In order that the soldiers would have the strength to fight tomorrow, they ordered the soldiers to take bark and grass roots to satisfy their hunger.

If this is a real battlefield, in order to save your life when food and grass are exhausted, you have to eat bark and grass roots. But now after all, it's just a drill, and no matter how the battle goes, it will only lose, and it won't die - those "dead" comrades-in-arms are eating and drinking spicy food in the barracks next to it! Therefore, Xu Wen's order to eat the roots of the turf not only did not achieve the effect he expected, but aroused the rebellious psychology of the soldiers, and everyone was eager to die in battle.

Fortunately, the military orders of the Han Department were strict after all, and these generals still persevered. But they were hungry during the day, slept in the open air at night, and by the next day, the last day of the military exercise, they all had bumps in their heads, and they had neither the energy nor the strength. Many generals who had been struggling for victory and honor also wanted Liu Qi to launch a general offensive as soon as possible, and everyone went down to fill their stomachs.

But Liu Qi was still not in a hurry, and waited until dusk to launch a full-scale attack, Xu Wen looked at the momentum of the white soldiers, and then looked back at the hungry soldiers under his command, knowing that the battle had been lost, and was infected by the atmosphere of the sun and desperation on the eve of the present, his head was in a mess, and he didn't distinguish between the real and the fake, and suddenly pulled out his sword and cut it to his throat.

This came suddenly, left and right were all shocked, an arrow flew from the ground, hitting Xu Wen's wrist, this arrow was so fierce, although he went to the arrow, Xu Wen still shook Xu Wen in a sharp pain, Xu Wen was so painful, his hand stopped, his head was a little clearer, and he hurriedly grabbed the sword by pressing his hand and holding his waist, and shouted: "General!" It's just a drill! ”

Xu Wen screamed in shame, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a young general approaching on horseback in front of him, with an empty bow in his hand, the bow was given by Wanyan Hu, but the person was Liu Qi. Xu Wen sighed and said, "General Liu, I, Xu Wen, have lost this battle!" I lost. ”

The white generals were frustrated when they heard this, but the black soldiers erupted in thunderous cheers. Liu Qi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, held Xu Wen's hand and said, "General Xu, this is an exercise after all, and it can't be taken seriously." If there was a real war, General Xu would not have made the mistake of burning the walled city. ”

Xu Wenzheng said: "Winning is winning, losing is losing, what is there to say!" In short, I am convinced of this battle! ”

Liu Qi saw that he was so upright, and he also admired him in his heart, and the two cherished each other and became good friends since then.

The news that Liu Qi burned Xu Wenhaizhai reached the Seven Generals' Mansion as early as yesterday, when Yang Yingqi had already left the matter of the military exercise behind, and was shocked when he heard the news: "This kid! I even wanted to get this trick! Xu Wen is doomed now! ”

Chen Zhenghui asked on the side: "Seventh General, can the military exercise also burn the opponent's stockade?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "There is no provision in advance, why can't it be burned!" Besides, burning grain to trap the enemy is a great skill of soldiers, so this trick is not nonsense, but a strategy that can also be used on the battlefield. This Liu Qi seems to be really a talent! Don't let it go! ”

After the end of the military exercise on the second day, according to the procedure, the soldiers who performed well in the exercise will be awarded to the generals who have performed well in the exercise - Liu Qi is naturally the first prize in the first prize! Yang Yingqi rewarded him with his general's biennial salary on behalf of the privy council, and Yang Kaiyuan rewarded him with his general's robe on behalf of the military. Liu Qi was proud of the spring breeze at that time, and he did not doubt him, so he put on his robe on the spot amid the applause of the sergeants.

After returning to the city in the evening, Xu Wen and other generals came to invite him to drink again, not only expressing his intention to abandon his previous suspicions, but also congratulating him on getting an important position in the army as soon as he came to the Han Department. Liu Qi was shocked: "When did I get an important position in the Han military?" ”

Xu Wen pointed to the robe on Liu Qi and said: "This is a robe that only senior generals in our army can have, and besides, you have already received the general's double salary, so you are naturally a person in our army." ”

Liu Qi exclaimed: "Isn't this the reward of the exercise?" ”

Xu Wen said with a smile: "It's not only a reward, but also a promotion." He added: "Now our Han Department is expanding the army, and the military system has also changed slightly. General Lang could only command 1,000 people, but now General Lang has added a deputy general as the commander of 1,000 people, and General Lang can command 5,000 soldiers and horses. Brother Liu got this position as soon as he came, which is an unprecedented thing. ”

Liu Qi hurriedly said: "I am an official of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I be a general of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Xu Wendao: "Why can't you do it? Da Song saw that it was about to collapse, and people of insight in the world cut their heads to drill here, and Brother Liu got an important position as soon as he came, which is enough, it is rare that the tiger princess and several generals obviously value Brother Liu, and the elders and young in the army are also quite obedient to Brother Liu after this incident. As soldiers, what we look forward to most is to have a good lord above and a good brother below. Brother Liu is the best of both worlds at the moment, is there anything not satisfied? ”

Liu Qi hurriedly said: "It's not appropriate, it's very inappropriate!" As a subordinate of the Great Song Dynasty, how can Liu Qi be an official here? Tomorrow I will go to the third and seventh generals and ask them to take back their robes and salaries. ”

Xu Wen and the others dispersed sullenly, and Xu Wen thought to himself that he needed to say hello to the three generals first. At this time, Yang Kaiyuan had not returned to Liaokou, and lived in the Seven Generals' Mansion like Liu Qi, Yang Yingqi was also there when Xu Wen came to ask to see him, and Xu Wen didn't dare to ask more, but just said Liu Qi's words.

Yang Yingqi nodded and said: "General Xu has worked hard, we will naturally have plans for this matter, you go back first, the third general and I will deal with it." ”

After Xu Wen left, Yang Kaiyuan said, "He actually refused to stay, but this is also what we expected." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Since he got on our thief ship, how can it be so easy to go down again!" Besides, among the people who pushed him on the thief ship, I'm afraid that the Seed Master Dao also has a share! Since Lao Chong arranged for his Liu family to marry his second brother, there will never be no reason for this. The person who 'pits' him is the one who should be inside and outside, but he himself is still in the dark, how can he get out? ”

Yang Kaiyuan said: "You see the old seed doing this, but what is it for?" ”

Yang Yingqi sighed: "Although he is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, deep down he is probably not optimistic about the future of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Yang Kaiyuan said: "You mean, he is paving the way for his descendants?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Even if you don't win, I'm afraid it's not far away." ”
