Volume 1: Young Ambition, Showing Signs Chapter 61 Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky, Waiting for a Long Time!
On the night of the seventh day after Qingcheng took command, the left and right vanguards of Zhenhai Hou and Wan Lijun each ordered their troops and horses, although the time was in a hurry, but the commander ordered that the generals could only obey the order. However, the soldiers are all ready to go, but the coach Duan Qingcheng has not been seen for a long time, which will inevitably make people feel that Qingcheng is exerting power.
The generals waited until the end of the day and still didn't see anyone coming, Lin Zheng, the left vanguard of the Wanli Army, was a little impatient, looked around, snorted coldly after a while, and said: "This boss is such a big shelf, let us wait all night and no one comes, I really don't know where to be happy." He was so arrogant when he first took charge, he really wanted to make him up, who of us would he put in his eyes? Hum! ”
Lin Zheng's voice was not small when he said this, and several generals present could hear it. Zhenhaihou didn't see any reaction, he was still waiting for Qingcheng, and the right pioneer Yang You seemed to be dissatisfied, and after hearing the complaints of his colleagues, he immediately echoed: "Yes, this is too unusual, the soldiers are still watching, really let us wait for a night?" Although he is handsome and we are generals, I don't want to think about what my identity is. ”
"Hmph, let's see. If he really has the talent of a general to suppress the bandits this time, and the ability to turn the tide and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, if he continues to lose, hum, then don't say that he can't stand the thunder and anger of the prince, and I can't get around him first! ”
The two generals of the Wan Li Army did not shy away from discussing Qingcheng and the suppression of bandits, Zhenhai Hou saw it in his eyes, Xu was worried that the army was unstable, hesitated for a moment and walked to the two of them, and smiled and persuaded: "Don't be impatient, with Ben Hou's understanding of Qingcheng, he is not the kind of person the two said." Maybe there is something important to discuss with the prince, so let's wait and see. ”
Although the Marquis of Zhenhai is the general of the defeated army, Wan Lijun is in charge of the Guhong King, and the left and right vanguards are even more confidants, but because the title of the Marquis of Zhenhai is higher than the two, Lin Zheng and Yang You can't say much, so they can only nod and stop speaking.
"Qingcheng, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
Zhenhai Hou is also very incomprehensible about Qingcheng's series of decisions, because he knows the Duan family of Qingyucheng, and knows that even if he has no solution, Qingcheng will never act rashly, not to mention that he clearly has the ability to strategize.
However, Qingcheng seemed to have other plans, and he had no intention of telling the public the truth, and it was inconvenient for Zhenhaihou to ask too much, so he had to press the doubts in his heart and wait for Qingcheng to come in person. However, after another half an hour, there was still no one to be seen, and the generals could not sit still more and more.
"What does that mean? Didn't you say that you set out early this morning, and you haven't even seen a figure yet, so you shouldn't be fooling us? ”
Truly. This is not because Lin Zheng and others are impatient, it is all because Qingcheng has already ordered to go to sea to suppress bandits this morning, but the coach can't do it, who ordered it? Zhenhai Hou understood that waiting like this was not a way, and after pondering for a while, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, let's appease the morale of the army first." Ben Hou went to Qingcheng's residence to see what he was up to. ”
Hearing that the Marquis of Zhenhai was going to find Qingcheng, Lin and Yang glanced at each other and gave a salute, and the former even said, "The diligent Hou has taken a trip." ”
"It's okay, you ......"
"It will be ordered! Zhenhai Hou receives the order! ”
At this moment, a soldier suddenly ran in, holding high the commander's general order, and shouting that Zhenhaihou received the order. When the generals saw it, they were even more puzzled, and they didn't know what Qingcheng's plans were.
"Ben Hou is here."
Zhenhai Hou summoned the man, took the order of the Qingcheng general, opened his eyes and took a closer look, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly. Since the man said that Zhenhaihou would receive the order, others naturally couldn't see it, which made Lin and Yang even more confused.
"Hmph, thanks to the prince's attention to him in every possible way, there is something to cross us and wait, and directly Zhao Shangzhen Haihou, it seems that he has never been a person all the way."
Lin Zheng lowered his voice and said a few words to Yang You, who listened, nodded in agreement, and said: "The prince and the Duan family have always been at odds, and when I saw Duan Qingcheng earlier, I was also full of disgust. If it's not a small ...... Someone is prohibited, and the prince will not reuse him if he wants to come. However, I heard that he already had a marriage contract, and I am afraid that the prince's thoughts will inevitably be in vain. ”
I don't know why Yang You mentioned the marriage contract between Qingcheng and Ouyang Lan, but Lin Zheng and he seemed to know the reason why King Guhong reused Qingcheng, and when he talked about it, Lin Zheng just nodded with a sneer.
"Hmph, the declining family, who will keep his marriage contract. What's more, who is the other party? That's the Ouyang family, the emperor of the soil in the south. That person is the pearl of the contemporary head of the Ouyang family, even if he marries into the royal family, he will respect each other like a guest, if it were me, he would not marry such a sinner. However, I hope he doesn't know what to do, after all, the prince has the best face and the most important rules, if Duan Qingcheng really goes against the prince's mind, hum, then there will be a good show to watch. ”
Lin and Yang are naturally talking about the marriage contract between Qingcheng and Ouyang Lan, in fact, this matter can be said to be known to the whole country. At the beginning, the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family, the richest man in Daqi, married the son of the famous Duan family in the Daqi army, which was really a good story for a while.
After the accident of the Duan family, Ouyang Lan's father also talked to Duan Feiyan, perhaps Emperor Hui was worried that the forces of the two families would be difficult to control, so he took action against the Duan family at this time. Because Qingcheng was eighteen years old, it was the day when the two families agreed to get married.
The Ouyang family, as a famous family in the south of the Middle Earth, has risen since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and today it has long been a big family among the best in the Great Qi. He has great connections in the court, in the army, and in business, and in the words of the common people, the Ouyang family is almost the "soil emperor" in the south.
And the Duan family of Qingyucheng is also a general for several generations, and the prestige in the army is extremely high, and Qingcheng's grandfather Duan Chongling and father Duan Feiyan are even more famous marshals like the god of war. In this way, the two families are married and support each other, and there are few people who can compete with each other. Even royalty.
However, the imperial power was furious, the loyal ministers were demoted, the famous marshals were for the people, and the Duan family was completely stripped from the top of the Great Qi. In addition, Qingcheng insisted on marrying Ouyang Lan only after making contributions, which made many people think that the Ouyang family was going to regret their marriage.
But the fact is that the Ouyang family is extremely optimistic about Qingcheng's talent and the relatives of the two families, and the head of the Ouyang family is well-known for caring for his daughter, so he has always supported Ouyang Lan's choice, and he is also very satisfied with Qingcheng's prospective son-in-law, so the repentance of marriage is actually a rumor.
However, listening to Lin Zheng's meaning, it seems that King Guhong also has plans to recruit a son-in-law Qingcheng, and he doesn't know why. But let's put this matter aside for the time being, let's get back to the present.
After Zhenhaihou looked at the general order given to him by Qingcheng in detail, his frowning brows gradually eased, and after a while, he smiled loudly and said, "Wonderful, wonderful!" Qingcheng, you really live up to the name of your father, Duan Shuai can rest assured, hahahaha. ”
Seeing that the Marquis of Zhenhai was so excited, Lin and Yang couldn't care less about his title of the criminal minister Duan Feiyan, and hurriedly asked, "Master Hou, why are you so excited?" Segment...... What about the generals? Where are the others, why don't they come in person, but instead send orders? ”
While putting away the general's order, Zhenhaihou replied with a smile: "General Duan has his own clever plan, you can rest assured." Now is not the time to talk about this, Ben Hou now passed down the commander's order: The general of this battle section has another goal, and the bandit suppression army is led by Zhenhai Hou, and the troops will be sent at the beginning of this day, targeting Haichuan, and sailing at full speed. ”
Lin Zheng and Yang You didn't understand what medicine was sold in Qingcheng's gourd, but the two of them were not mediocre, after all, they were in important positions in the Wan Li Army, so after they listened to the general's order, although they didn't figure out Qingcheng's intentions, they also heard some deep meanings.
"Hehe, I understand, General Duan used us as bait to restrain Haichuan and go to sea to be a surprise soldier, which is indeed clever. However, it is always a little unpleasant to be teased by him like this. ”
Zhenhaihou heard the dissatisfaction in Lin Zheng's tone, and hurriedly laughed: "Why should Lin Xianfeng be like him, Qingcheng is young and ignorant, and he will have more time to deal with him in the future." At the moment, it is still important to suppress the bandits, so please give the order of the two pioneers and let the soldiers of each department board the ship one after another. At the beginning of the hour, the army will go on the march! ”
"Whoa."
The order was in the hands of the Marquis of Zhenhai, and Qingcheng also said that the army was under his command, so Lin and Yang naturally respected him and acted as ordered. And after the two of them left, the smile on Zhenhaihou's face gradually faded, and turned into a worried look, looking at the direction of his confidant's beloved general's house somewhere in the city, and secretly thought: Qingcheng, be careful in everything......
At the beginning of the next day, the Haichuan people arrived at the target place, but it was not any coastal city in Daqi, but an island in the sea.
This time, Haichuan is also the best of the best, and the 30,000 troops personally selected by Kamiizumi Shingen are all soldiers who have been tempered by him and have experienced a hundred battles. Shangquan Shingen intends to take advantage of this battle to kill Qingcheng and other famous generals of the Great Qi and weaken the military strength of the Great Qi, which is bound to be won.
After the army landed on the island one after another, Kamiizumi Shingen looked at the soldiers lined up neatly, gave orders, and said: "The sixth, eighth, and ninth teams stay here, watch the ships, and send a letter if they find anything." Team 4 is going to pick up the 'Man in the Urn' and let them be disarmed. The rest of the team, led by me and Xinyi, patrolled the whole island. ”
"Yes!"
Kamiizumi Shingen's army, every thousand people was divided into a squad, a total of thirty squads. I don't know what he meant by "man in the urn", but after he gave the order, a small team did run towards a place on the island and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
After that, Kamiizumi Shingen and Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi each led thirteen squads to patrol the island to the east and west respectively. About half an hour later, Nobuyoshi Kamiizumi and Fujiwara, who had not been found, rested on the spot and waited for their brother to come and join them.
Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi looked around, then sat cross-legged on the ground, took out the wine gourd on his waist, poured a large sip of wine, put it against Fujiwara, and said with a smile: "Young master, don't be so nervous, this battle has my brother here, everything is fine." Come on, sit down and have a drink. ”
When Fujiwara heard what Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi said, he frowned slightly after a moment of silence, and took the wine gourd but didn't drink it, but said, "I don't know why, I have a bad premonition. It was too quiet and it was night, and the master once said, 'Ambush can be set up where you can't see, and there is danger when you don't expect it.'" It's not easy for us to control the current environment, so I don't like it. ”
Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi felt that Fujiwara was a little worried, so he smiled helplessly and said, "Young master, this is our 'base camp', what is there to worry about?" Could it be that the people of Daqi are really divine soldiers descending from heaven? ”
"Perhaps, but ......"
"Bang!" "Boom!"
Just as the two were talking, the flames soared into the sky in an instant, and the distance was like a huge thunder falling from the sky, and the sound was terrifying. Hearing this, Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi and Fujiwara hurriedly judged the direction of the cannon, and then the two of them were startled at the same time, and said in unison: "Battleship!" ”
"Bang!"
The two of them were about to go to check, not wanting to take half a step before they moved, when suddenly, countless cannonballs fell on the high slope above them, which exploded instantly after landing, and the flames took advantage of the situation to disperse, and the team suffered more than half of the casualties in an instant, and the formation was chaotic.
"Don't panic! Heal the wounded and retreat quickly! ”
"Nobuyoshi Kamiizumi! Daqi Duan Qingcheng has been waiting for a long time! ”
