It's good to be a general, it's better to be a big general!

Thinking that the deputy general Qi Yun shouted every day to be loyal to the country, taking everything on his shoulders, but leaving the best enjoyment to him, even he felt that Qi Yun was a blessed general given to him by God, no different from the old scalper.

When he was enjoying life, the door was pushed open, and the housekeeper Li Zhong said in a panic: "General Zuo, the big thing is not good, Xue Qiu led the Li family sergeant into Qingshui Pass and fought with the defenders. Our army was defeated! ”

Zuo Ye pushed away the beauty in his arms and said sharply, "What did you say?" ”

Stared at by Zuo Ye's two round eyes, Li Zhong swallowed his saliva and told the military situation again.

Zuo Ye said sharply: "Where is the guard?" ”

The courtyard was silent.

"Where is the guard?" Zuo Ye repeated it loudly again.

He was flustered and wanted to gather the guards to leave the Guard's Mansion, anyway, the military noise that had been deducted over the years was enough for him and his women to spend a lifetime.

"General Zuo, are you looking for the palace guard in the courtyard?" Li Shimin and Xia Yu appeared, and the guards in the courtyard had long been restrained by them.

Zuo Ye's heart was shocked: "Isn't this Shimin, the third son of Tang Guogong?" I think when you were full moon, I also ate your full moon wine. I didn't expect it to grow so big. ”

Li Shimin stared at him coldly.

Zuo Ye continued like a clown: "I have received your letter, to clear the traitors around Emperor Sui, I support this matter and march into Chang'an with you." I'm going to tell you about it tomorrow. ”

Li Shimin was indifferent.

Zuo Ye smiled: "Virtuous nephew, let's have a drink for the time being, it's cold outside, warm up." ”

At this moment, a personal guard of Li Shimin came to report: "Third prince, we have counted the treasury of the Shoujiang's Mansion, and the total amount of silver is 700,000 taels!" ”

The wine glass in Zuo Ye's hand fell to the ground, fell to pieces, and begged Li Shimin: "Virtuous nephew, this money is my pension money, you can't confiscate it, you can't confiscate it!" ”

With a sneer, Li Shimin said: "Uncle Zuo, you have too much money for retirement." You are old and have no worries about food and clothing, but have you ever thought that the sergeants at Qingshuiguan are still wearing jackets in the winter? ”

Anyone can think of what Zuo Ye did, deduct the army, and fill his pockets.

Facing Li Shimin's awe-inspiring questioning, Zuo Ye said confidently: "Where is there anyone who is not greedy as an official, I am good enough for the defenders." ”

I have to admit that the selfish desires of officials of all sizes at the end of the Sui Dynasty were very heavy, and if it weren't for their greed, the Sui army would not have lost its combat effectiveness, which led to beacons everywhere at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Xue Qiulai turned out of the door, holding a steel knife, his eyebrows were angry, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I'll just say why the military salary is so small every time, and you still pretend to say that because the treasury is tight now, and the whole country is full of soldiers, and there is less allocated from above." ”

Zuo Ye suddenly saw Xue Qiu, and was taken away by the other party's momentum, and suddenly wilted: "Commander Xue, you listen to my explanation......"

Xue Qiu didn't give Zuo Ye a chance to explain at all, and with a slash of the long knife in his hand, Zuo Ye's head was separated from his body.

Throwing Zuo Ye's head on the ground, Xue Qiu kicked it angrily and scolded: "Old horseman! ”

The next day, the sergeant of the Li family, who did not participate in the battle of Qingshui Pass, under the leadership of the other two Lang generals and warriors Xun and Tian Chong, marched towards Qingshui Pass.

Looking at Qingshui Pass from afar, the two of them were still thinking about how to take Qingshui Pass in their hearts.

When they arrived at a place one mile away from Qingshui Pass, the military academy came to report that just last night, the third prince and Lang General Xia Yu had captured Qingshui Pass.

Tian Chong and Samurai Xun glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked the military academy to say it again.

The two men were overjoyed, ordered the whole army to rest on the spot, and passed on the good news.

"The third prince won Qingshui Pass last night, this is really incredible, it is really a general!"

"I was still thinking about fighting a tough battle today, but I didn't think that the third prince would sympathize with us and let us rest, he and his people have already taken Qingshui Pass first."

"What's it called? The soldiers were so fast that they took Qingshui Pass unconsciously, and at first I thought that my ears were wrong. ”

The sergeants gathered together and discussed in low voices.

In Qingshui Pass, the defeated Sui army was weak.

Li Shimin gathered them together, and instead of confiscating their weapons of war, he gave each of them two sets of cotton clothes for the winter.

Standing on the high platform, Li Shimin said impassionedly: "Soldiers, you have also seen this situation. If it weren't for the Li family's rebellion, it was actually that the Great Sui had a lot of moths such as Zuoye, who deducted military salaries and looted the people's fat and ointment, so that you still wore jackets during the winter......"

These words were heard in their ears, and they all clenched their fists in anger.

In order to ignite the hatred of the Sui army in Qingshui Pass, Xia Yu also intended to arrange several nurseries in the Sui army.

In the middle of Li Shimin's words, a nurse raised his arm: "General Li gave us cotton clothes, not to mention, but also to know the righteousness to us." What did we join the army for? In order to serve the country and make meritorious contributions, but some Sui army generals deliberately thought about themselves and deducted our military salaries, which really made my teeth cold, and I didn't care about anything, Lao Tzu wanted to follow General Li to Chang'an! ”

"Go to Chang'an!"

"Go to Chang'an!"

The Sui army shouted one by one, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic.

Finally, Li Shimin said: "If there are people who are unwilling to follow us to fight, they can receive ten taels of silver to go home and farm, everything is voluntary." ”

As a result, not one of them was willing to receive ten taels of silver.

At first, Li Shimin felt that Xia Yu's approach was not good, but after seeing the effect, he gave Xia Yu a thumbs up.

For Qi Yun, Xia Yu admires him very much, such a person can be called the general of the Great Sui. He inquired about Qi Yun's whereabouts from the defeated Sui army, but no one knew where he had gone.

Nearly two hours later, Pegasus, a military academy in Shimizu Pass, informed the samurai to find and Tian Chong and join the army.

They took their Li family sergeants to join Li Shimin.

It took most of the day to reorganize the Sui army, and it was getting late, and Li Shimin ordered to march again tomorrow.

Su Xun was called to the military tent, and when he saw Li Shimin and Xia Yu, he smiled and said: "I killed more than 50 people by myself, and one person has one military merit, and I now have more than 50 military merits." At this rate, I'll be able to rise to a thousand-torn in no time. ”

Li Shimin's expression was fierce: "Come on, drag the centurion Su Xun out for me, and beat fifty military sticks hard!" ”

Su Xun glared at him: "Lao Tzu has merit in killing people, what do you mean by this, Li Laosan?" ”

"What do you mean? I ordered you to guard the city gates, which is to entrust the lives of the whole army in your hands. Have you thought about it, in case after you leave, the Sui army will close the city gates, our army will inevitably fall into the point of isolation and helplessness, how dangerous it is, do you know? ”
