Staring at the map as if thousands of troops were galloping endlessly, Chen Geng didn't know that this war was His Majesty's suppression of the Changfeng Army. Once Lin Shuai was surrounded by Southern Chu, he finally managed to break through and return to the border. What is not lacking in any literati is words, especially His Majesty's hope that Lin Shuai will die at the border. Some people will always be an eyesore when they live, and only by dying can they live forever.

Chen Geng said: "Fortunately, you can't do this, this is taking a bet on the eighteen cities of Liang Nanjing." Lin Shuai had an order before the battle, even if the Changfeng Army was completely wiped out, the soldiers defending the city should not go out of the city for half a step. ”

Ma Duwei didn't understand the current situation, and it was good for the Changfeng army to face only the Southern Chu army. Pianpin's biggest prejudice is with the imperial court, and the armament salary will be delivered on time in the middle of the decade. Only the armaments and silver that arrived with the documents of the Ministry of War came the fastest, is this the imperial court's support for the Changfeng Army to achieve the merit of defending the country in Nanjing in the first war? Now everything is not as simple as imagined. A big hand controls everything, and this is in exchange for the lives of 100,000 people for stability.

After such a big incident didn't happen in the Changfeng Army for three months, Liu Zhixing was on the verge of an outbreak. Holding back a sullen breath in his chest, he asked, "General Chen, do you want the 100,000 Changfeng Army to die in a foreign land, or do you want to take Lin Shuai's place." Everyone patted their consciences and asked, without the Changfeng Army guarding Nanjing, there would be peace now. Now you are going to kill 100,000 soldiers because of a piece of waste paper? Or is it General Chen, you are confident that you will be able to defend the eighteen cities of Nanjing with less than 30,000 people. Do you think too highly of yourself, or do you underestimate the 200,000 army of Nanchu, how can Nanjing be so childish. ”

His fists slammed on the desk, and his eyes stared at Chen Geng. At this time, Liu Zhixing did not regard the deputy general in front of him as his boss, let alone as an elder. I only feel that such a character is not worthy of being a general, let alone guarding the frontier, and the life and death of a country in the hands of such a person is not a game to put a country's safety in danger.

Chen Geng, as Lin Xie, Lin Shuai's deputy general, could be left behind, how could he not have real talent and learning, staring at his hot eyes and clenching his fists tightly: "Liu Zhixing, do you know the duties of a soldier." ”

The young man stared at the veteran and still refused to admit defeat: "Obey the order, but it also depends on whose order to obey." Now I don't stop talking to anyone, I just know that if I don't occupy the 100,000 Changfeng Army, I will cut off the way home. ”

Turning around and walking out of the lobby with anger, Ma Duwei wanted to stop Chen Geng and shouted heavily: "Ma Duwei." ”

The three of them watched the young man leave, Chen Geng stared at Jiaokou and patted the case heavily and said, "Han Duwei, you go and spread the news of Liu Zhixing's trip to Jiaokou to Lin Zhong, remember that it was your slip of the tongue and not me." ”

Han Shijie, who was less than thirty years old, immediately understood what Vice General Chen meant, so he went out and rode in the direction of the residence city with a depressed and depressed look to find someone to drink. Ma Duwei, who stayed in the lobby, said: "General Lin Zhong and Liu Zhixing are like brothers, and they are good candidates. But does Lin Zhong have the courage to send troops privately? ”

Chen Geng stared at another place and said, "Huhe, who is the Huhe guard now by Ma Duwei." ”

"Huang Sanhe."

"You can lead 5,000 infantry to hold the Huhe River, and once the battle starts, even if you die, you have to defend it. Don't let a ship from Nanchu go ashore, everything can be used as long as you hold it for three days. Unless Lin Shuai comes back early, remember no. ”

Ma Duwei left the veteran and stared at the map that he didn't know how many times, and drew a large circle at the crossing. Huhe became more and more uneasy, and once the Changfeng army had a way to retreat once it captured Jiaokou. In Huhe is the best place for the Chu army to break through the border defense, through the Huhe River and Pingchuan will be five any obstacles. The Long Wind Army has just returned, and there is no time to start a water battle yet.

Liu Zhixing pushed open a heavy wooden door, and a silver gun was inserted into the weapon rack. This silver spear is the spear used by Lin Xie in middle age, and he uses it less and less as the commander-in-chief. After being dusty for ten years, Liu Zhixing, who was close to Lin Xie, held the spear tightly with one hand and said, "No one, let's go." ”

Carrying a spear, he went out to the stable and pulled out a red and brown war horse, but was stopped by a group of soldiers. Liu Zhixing turned over and drove straight away, shouting: "Get out of the way of the master, the silver gun is not long-sighted." ”

With a shot, he picked up the door railing and grabbed a soldier's long sword and straddled his waist, and the red, brown, silver, spear, and white-clothed general, the long sword galloped at his waist.

Tens of thousands of troops in Nanchu marched day and night, and the decisive battle more than a month ago did not actually distinguish the winner or loser. Seven days ago, he was turned to a decisive battle by the Southern Chu army, and Lin Xie, who was in a difficult situation, won a small victory at the least cost. Half a month ago, it was surrounded by 200,000 Southern Chu legions, and the 100,000 army was heavily damaged. 30,000 soldiers stayed in a foreign land, and the rear road of the army was directly cut off as soon as it entered the territory of Southern Chu.

Along the way, he found an empty city within a hundred miles of the border, and it was obvious that Nan Chu already knew the contents of the military department's documents. War with the country is a trap, or the problem occurs in the imperial court. The water battle of the Great Liang soldiers in the First Battle of Huaishui has always been a weakness, and this time the choice of breaking through the entrance is also the plain. has been chasing the defeated army of Southern Chu and falling into encirclement, how could Lin Xie not understand that this is an obvious trap. Knowing that the trap must also be entered, he used his life to block a mouth of the imperial court.

Looking at the mountains surrounded by the exhaustion of the army, the food and grass were exhausted for more than a month. The 70,000 people did not nourish the Southern Chu army, and the pursuit became more and more relaxed, forcing the Changfeng army into the mountains. In fact, the biggest purpose is to shake the military soul of this army, and Nanjing, who does not have the Changfeng Army, is another big beam. In particular, Lin Xie is the soul of the entire legion, and once the veteran dies in the territory of Southern Chu, it will hit the entire Liang. Southern Chu took the entire border in one fell swoop, and the hegemony of Daliang was bound to waver.

The veteran staggered and looked ahead, and after the mountain was the girder. The biggest shame in this war, not to mention winning a hundred battles since joining the army, at least I have never been so aggrieved. Knowing that he could not violate it, he buried the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers with his own hands. The veteran is distressed and regretful, and there is nothing wrong with a boy being born with the responsibility of protecting his family and defending the country. But because the garrison at the border was suspicious, it was necessary to use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to block the mouths of those people.

The veteran in his forties was by his side, and he heard the old general ask, "How old is Your Majesty this year?" ”

"Three out of fifty, how could Lin Shuai remember to ask about His Majesty's age."

The veteran glanced at the clear blue sky and said, "It's going to be windy." ”

I felt that the incredible feeling of reaching out was just a breeze, and it was about to be like a mountain wind, and no matter how strong the wind was, what did it matter to the march. If you want to say that it is impossible to rain in the scorching sun, I don't know that the veteran secretly said: "Your Majesty, you are joking with the life of your old brother and Daliang Jiangshan." ”

After walking for half a day, I watched the sun set. Looking at the mountains, he shouted, "Bring the map." ”

Turning over and dismounting, the two soldiers unfolded the map, and Lin Xie's fingers drew the marching route until he was at his current position. Turning his head to look at the mountain more than ten miles away, he said, "The front is Jiaokou." ”

"The front is a crossing, and after the crossing, even if you go out of Nanchu, you can be considered to have entered the territory of Daliang."

The old general stared at the map for a long time and asked, "Do you know if there is a road to Daliang besides the road of Jiaokou?" It doesn't matter if you're not afraid of a long way or a little harder, as long as you can reach the girder. ”

Four or five generals looked around the map for a long time, and a general in his thirties said: "Lin Shuai didn't miss it, but he missed it, and now when I think about it, it seems that Nanchu has no substantive attack because of the constant harassment, but in fact, I have to take this one in order to get here." Now it is impossible to turn back, and all the way to the plains will be a hungry battle. Nanchu will not give me another chance to enter the hinterland, and if one encirclement and suppression fails, there should not be another time. ”

Looking up at the tired soldiers, especially the carriages in the center of the army. The veterans are bitter in their hearts, who knows, they are giving their lives to themselves. said: "Camp in place, rebel three watches, and pass through the intersection at dawn. ”

The army trimmed the veteran and walked to a hill, accompanied by a veteran in his forties. Looking at the mountains that I don't know how many times I have walked through, I feel emotional, and I vaguely remember which of the four princes of the current majesty took the lead. There are still a few brothers now, and there is still friendship among those who are alive.

"Pei Lian, which prince did your majesty fancy today."

The veteran suddenly understood why the veteran general had to risk life and death and gamble with 100,000 people on an impossible war. said: "Your Majesty has established the crown prince, is there now a word to abolish the prince." I've never heard of it, could it be that Lin Shuai entered the party struggle and was the eldest prince King Qi? ”

Looking at Lin Xie half-understandingly, the veteran said: "Xiao Kun, the king of Qi, was born with divine power, and he once led the army in Nanjing for a period of time when he was young. I can see that you like this kid a lot, and I actually like this kid a lot. It's just that you know why His Majesty sent him from Nanjing to Beijing, and why he let the army of Nanjing attack Nanchu, which is impossible to capture. ”

Before waiting for an answer, he continued: "King Qi has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in Beijing, and his prestige in the army is very high, and he has a team that is not weak at a young age. Two years ago, he was transferred back to Kyoto and was crowned King of Qi, and it seems that he has the form of resisting the crown prince. But this kid shouldn't have too much contact with the military department, do you say that the prince can rest assured that a king of Qi who has a high prestige in the army and is closer to the military department exists? Not to mention that the prince is afraid, even His Majesty is afraid. ”

Pei Lin knew that the party struggle now involved Nanjing, and he was afraid that it would be so stormy in Taiping City. I'm afraid that because Lin Shuai is the eldest brother of King Qi's biological mother, Concubine Xin, Beijing can still control once Lin Xie participates in King Qi's side. The 100,000 Changfeng Army is not as simple as putting it in Nanjing, once it develops to the point where the King of Qi is far more terrible than the crown prince.

said: "Could it be that the documents from the Ministry of War are the means of the prince or the means of the king of Qi." ”

The old general shook his head and said, "The crown prince He Qi King can't move the army yet, I'm afraid Your Majesty is afraid." ”

Fenyang Town, wearing a white-armored, silver-speared, and red-horse, galloped all the way to the south, and the black-armored young man near the border pointed a spear at the white-armored young man and said fiercely: "Come and report who is named." ”

Liu Zhixing heard a familiar voice, and immediately pointed at the black-armored young man and asked, "Lin Zhong even stopped me from you, did Chen Geng's old puppet let you come." ”

However, the twenty-two-three young man smiled slightly, and immediately pointed at Liu Zhixing and said, "The kid is not too brave to dare to yell at General Chen, I Lin Zhong have been thinking about this for a long time. I've never dared to do it, but my brother is still amazing. Since my brother is here, let's go with my brother. ”

There was violence in his eyes, and he pointed a gun at Lin Zhong and said, "Go with you, don't you even want to save Lin Shuai." ”

Lin Zhong smiled and said, "It's good for you and your brother to go, why do you have to ask so much." ”

"And go back to confess? I Liu Zhixing can't do it. Since even you don't dare to go, I'll go myself. ”

I saw Lin Zhong turn the horse's head and say, "Fortunately, let's go." ”

He asked incomprehensibly, "Where is Lin Zhong going?" ”

"Jiaokou, where can I go. Do you really think that Lin Zhong doesn't even have the courage of you Liu Zhixing? Is 3,000 cavalry enough? ”

Liu Zhixing said boldly: "Okay, today you and my brother should let Nan Chu take a look at the good man of Daliang." ”

The two war horses galloped and could only hear Lin Zhong shouting: "Where has the kid been for three months, there has been no news." ”

Approaching the frontier, three thousand cavalry followed and galloped towards the crossing, Liu Zhixing said: "Of course I was injured, and I will recuperate in a good place." I can talk to you when I turn around, and I will make a deal first. ”

Three thousand horsemen in black and white double-armor galloped across the border of Daliang, and the mountain stream imprinted in the eyes of the young man was full of mystery. Liu Zhixing, who was on the long mountainside, said, "Do you want to do it? ”

Lin Zhong shouted, "Fuck it." ”
