Since Liu Chengyou took charge of the Longqi Army, the control of this army has been extremely strict, and now, the corporal and soldiers have gradually become accustomed to that constraint. However, life in the barracks is extremely boring, in addition to training day after day, the rotation of the rotation can leave the camp for a moment of relaxation. Of course, there are many singles in the army, and more people will choose to go to Jinyang to be chic, and spend a small amount of money in taverns, music shops, brothels and other places.

Occasionally, in their spare time, the sergeants mostly like to get together and gossip and gossip. At this moment, a captain walked to Li Dutou with a bowl of water, handed it to him, and said with some emotion and curiosity: "Dutou, this Great Jin Dynasty really died like this?" ”

His tongue rolled between his teeth, swallowed the meat crumbs into his stomach, took the water bowl and drank a big sip, Li Dutou shook his legs and said: "Yes, the emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty were all captured by the Khitans and taken to the northern Khitan country. ”

"Hey, there are so many soldiers and horses in the Great Jin, and they can't beat the Khitans!"

"What's so strange about this, I heard that the emperor's child was in the capital, building palaces on a large scale, searching for beauties everywhere, and even putting his widowed aunt Madame Feng into the harem for him to fish. He danced and listened to music all day long, ignoring national affairs, not caring about the military situation, and not sympathetic to the soldiers. If you end up like this, you can still save your life, and it's good luck! Li Dutou seemed to know a lot of things, and explained to his subordinates.

The conversation between the two had already attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers, and they all pricked up their ears. When one of the soldiers heard this, he immediately shouted: "The emperor is so mediocre, no wonder he can't keep the country!" ”

"It's a pity that those soldiers who fought to the death against the Khitan and defended their homeland and hometown." This remark seemed to resonate with Li Dutou, and he saw indignation on his rough face that had been blown by wind and frost.

"I heard, captain, you also participated in the Battle of Yangcheng back then?" Then, the captain suddenly asked.

"yes!" This remark seemed to scratch the smugness of Li Du's head, and he looked like he was in good spirits, his body sat up straight, and he said with a reminiscence on his face: "Two years ago, the Khitan launched a large-scale southern expedition, and the imperial court sent troops to resist, but the initial battle was unfavorable, and the army was besieged by the enemy in the south of Yangcheng. The Khitan people were very insidious, and they actually cut off the food and water sources of our army, and the soldiers could not stand the hunger and thirst, so they could only drink muddy water to quench their thirst. ”

"Isn't that army dangerous?" The captain quickly took over the situation and asked nervously.

Hearing this, Li Dutou's mood became more in place, and his speech speed increased a lot: "That's natural, the situation was extremely urgent at that time, and tens of thousands of troops were in danger. But—"

Like telling a story, the voice changed sharply, Li Dutou sold a pass, and only then under the urging of the soldiers, he said in a low voice: "But our army is blessed by heaven, and in Yangcheng, suddenly the wind is fierce, the sand and dust cover the sun, and it is as dark as night. The Khitan army was extremely arrogant before, wanting to capture all of us and march into Daliang, so they looked down on us so that the officers and soldiers of the army were enraged, and they had already had the heart to fight to the death. So the general ordered, the whole army took the opportunity to fight hard, broke the Khitan in a battle, and chased more than 20 miles north before collecting the troops. It is rumored that the lord of the Khitan country was so frightened that he fled all the way to Youzhou before he dared to look south......"

After a lot of spittle, he described the situation of the battle of Yangcheng to his subordinates, and Li Dutou glanced around, and they all listened carefully, and they were very satisfied with their reactions.

"The Jin army is strong!" Someone exclaimed excitedly.

Dutou shook his head: "Who would have thought that in just a year or two, Bianjing was broken by the Khitan, and the emperor was captured by him." What a shame! ”

"The faint king misunderstands the country!"

However, at this time, the captain blinked his eyes a few times and said suspiciously: "I don't know the head, how many Khitan thieves were killed in the first battle back then, and how much credit was made?" ”

Hearing this, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on Li Dutou's face, and he immediately glared at the captain: "Although he was only a small army commander under the command of General Fu (Fu Yanqing) at that time, he broke the formation and attacked the enemy, but he always charged at the front. A certain pair of hands can personally cut off the heads of two Khitans. Later, Fu Jun's envoy also praised a certain bravery......"

"Then how did you get to the king of Beiping?"

Seeing the stunned appearance of the captain who asked the question, he was angry, patted his head, and hummed: "Naturally, I admire the prestige of the king of Beiping, and I have come to meet each other!" ”

At this point, the Clever Man realized that the captain was bragging, but no one debunked him. And Li Dutou's expression gradually became serious, and his brown pupils revealed a little bit of kinship, as if he recalled the difficult battlefield experience back then.

Li Dutou naturally participated in the battle of Yangcheng, and when the Jin army counterattacked to the death, he was also charging the array, but before he could get close, he was shot down by the Khitan people's bows and arrows. Luckily, he survived; Unfortunately, all of his brothers died, and he was left behind in the wilderness. Later, he crawled out of the pile of dead people with difficulty, was rescued by the farmers in the mountains, and after recovering from his injuries, he was also reduced to a straggler. It happened that Liu Zhiyuan was recruiting soldiers in Hedong, and Li Dutou, who did not want to return to the Later Jin Forbidden Army, heard about it and crossed Taihang to vote.

With Li Du's first heavy sigh, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became a little depressing.

"Now that the old emperor is gone, I don't know who the new emperor is?" A soldier muttered, breaking the slightly stagnant atmosphere.

"Who else could it be?" As if he had been reminded, Li Dutou suddenly returned to his soul, and scolded in his mouth: "I heard that just the day before yesterday, the Khitan lord ascended the throne in Bianliang and became the emperor!" ”

"What?" There was an uproar in the tent, and the captain next to him widened his eyes: "Khitans, how did you get the emperor of our Central Plains?" ”

"How could it be?" Li Dutou showed his insight at this time, and snorted coldly: "For so many years, it is not who is strong and strong that can be the emperor. The Khitan lord has hundreds of thousands of troops, so he can naturally be the emperor. ”

Hearing him say this, some soldiers began to lament: "Could it be that in the future, we will respect the Khitan Emperor as the master and fight for him?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Li Dutou's tone became meaningful at this time.

The captain raised his eyebrows, and then echoed and asked, "Du Touchang, what news have you heard again?" ”

At the mention of this, the captain's eyes wandered, looked around, moved his buttocks, and then lowered his voice and said carefully: "Listen to the commander, the Marquis of Duyu and the other military envoys do not want to surrender to the Khitan Hulu, and are secretly planning to serve the king of Beiping as the son of heaven!" ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone looked at each other, only the captain reacted very quickly, slapped his thigh hard, and said excitedly: "That's right! I'm waiting for Huaxia Erlang, how can I serve Hu Kou as the master! The king of Beiping is highly respected, and his reputation is magnificent, and he should be the son of heaven! ”

"That's right, today, apart from our King of Beiping, who else is qualified and capable of being the emperor?"

"If the king of Beiping is the Son of Heaven, what is the Khitan afraid of?"

"If the king of Beiping is crowned as the emperor, we can all enjoy wealth and wealth!"

......

The atmosphere was heated all of a sudden, and a cadre of soldiers blindly made both excited and depressed remarks, while Li Dutou and the captain looked at each other tacitly.
