Chapter 440: General, the soul of the army
In the early morning of the next day, the drums and horns were noisy and the flags were fluttering, and the Kansai Army of Dafeichuan assembled on the school grounds.
Li Daozong wore a battle robe and armor and wore a long-lost military uniform, standing on the platform with a sword at his waist and a sword, watching the soldiers gather from all directions, his expression has always been more serious.
The army in front of him gave him a very different feeling.
Rong Wu has been in his life for half a life, Li Daozong has seen any kind of army, Jฤซng is as sharp as the Xuanjia Army under the command of King Qin back then, and he does not have the fighting spirit and momentum exuded by the Guanxi Army in front of him. In fact, the Lanzhou Guanxi Army is still very young, and it has only been a few years since Qin Shubao entered Lanzhou.
Li Daozong couldn't understand what kind of magical power the Qin family, father and son, could build a young army so strong and tenacious in a short period of time, and at the same time they were very united.
It's not just rigorous training and good equipment that can be stacked up.
After pondering for a long time, Li Daozong vaguely thought of a factor: the Lanzhou Guanxi Army, except for a few soldiers and horses brought by the Qin father and son from Guanzhong and Liangjing, most of the rest were native soldiers in Lanzhou. Originally, Lanzhou was a place where soldiers fought for 1uan frequently, the people were strong, and the people were determined to yearn for peace and tranquility.
After the Qin father and son entered Lanzhou one after another, the most important thing is to give the people of Li a peaceful and happy life, and it is inconceivable to change the situation of poverty and poverty in Lanzhou in previous years.
Because of this alone, the Qin father and son are enough to have unparalleled prestige in Lanzhou. It is not surprising why every soldier in the Kansai army has an unusually deep affection for the Qin father and son.
Only those who have experienced the war know the preciousness of peace and the hard-won peace of tranquillity. When Lanzhou fought again in 1uan, the local people joined the army with little to no movement. But the bad news came one after another, and it was the Qin father and son who died in battle one after another. This was like a bolt from the blue for the soldiers and civilians of Lanzhou, and they suffered a great thorn.
To put it mildly, even if the emperor dies today, the soldiers and civilians of Lanzhou may not have any special feelings. There is no doubt that the Qin father and son have become the soul and pillar of the people of Lanzhou and the Kansai army!
Thinking of this, Li Daozong couldn't help but sigh secretly: No wonder during the first battle of Qingluoyuan yesterday, our soldiers would be so desperate to fight the Tubo people in such a desperate way. In other words, if the benefactor who killed me and the enemy of my father and brother were close at hand, how could I not fight to the death with a red eye and a mania? โฆโฆ I, Li Daozong, can confidently say that I can lead any army and horse in the world with ease, including the emperor's imperial forest army, and I can also be obedient. But the Kansai Army in front of me, I'm really not sure. Qin Shubao, Qin Mubai, their status in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Kansai Army, especially the local people and the old soldiers of Lanzhou, is absolutely irreplaceable!
A few drums sounded, and the army was assembled.
There were 90,477 men in the whole army, and all of them were present without any absence. Even the seriously wounded sergeant who was lying on the couch was carried on a stretcher and lay down on the colonel's ground.
Seeing this scene, Li Daozong, who was accustomed to seeing any big scene for half his life, felt very blocked in his heart inexplicably. An invisible pressure overwhelmed him.
"Probably these generals know what I'm talking about...... The hatred in their hearts is as irresolvable as their attachment to Da Fei Chuan. How do I tell them? Whether it is to give up revenge for the time being or to give up this military camp, it is unacceptable to them, and it is even more cruel......"
"Lord Wang, the army has been assembled." Xue Wanjun stepped forward and hugged his fists, ". YZUU dot com"
"Hmm......" Li Daozong took a deep breath and nodded, took a few steps forward and began to speak.
โฆโฆ
At this time, not far from the entrance of the large military camp, an ordinary carriage of civilian standard drove up. The cavalry of the patrol immediately rushed over, pointed at the warning and shouted: "The military aircraft are heavy, and all idlers will be avoided!" Leave, or be punished with jian! โ
Unexpectedly, instead of leaving in a hurry, the carriage was heading towards the camp. The sentry stepped forward to surround him and shouted, "Whoever trespasses on our army's camp, get out of the car!" โ
The curtain of the car window was lifted, and a beautiful woman wearing a black gauze brimmed hat walked out, and her posture was even more chic and neat, and she jumped off the carriage easily.
The sergeants couldn't help but be half surprised, and their eyes lit up: good skills, good demeanor! โฆโฆ Hey, she also has a sword in her hand, it seems that she must be equipped with martial arts!
"My surname is Chen." The nvon arched his hand with a sword in both hands, opened the car and took out a xiaonv boy from inside, and said, "Her surname is Qin." โ
"Surname Qin?" All the sergeants were surprised, "You are the young marshal...... Who? โ
"I know, I know, the young marshal you are talking about is my father! My name is Qin Xiaolou, hehe! This is my mother! xiaonv Tong chuckled innocently and said first.
"It turned out to be the young marshal's family, and there were many !! of neglect" The sergeants hurriedly dismounted and saluted.
"No need to be polite." Chen Yan raised her eyes and glanced at the army in the village, and said, "At this time, is it convenient to enter the army?" โฆโฆ I only brought my son to pay tribute to his father. Nothing else. โ
"Convenient, convenient! Madame, please! Xiao will take the first step and inform the King of Jiangxia and the generals first! โ
"It's fine." Chen Yan didn't say much, so she hugged Xiao Lou'er and walked into the barracks with this group of sergeants. She thought to herself, no wonder I didn't see my father-in-law when I visited the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and I didn't expect him to come to Dafeichuan before me. Could it be that Mu Bai really had an accident? If this is not the case, how can he move his father-in-law from Lanzhou to preside over the overall situation?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan's heart was like a knife, so she hugged Xiao Lou'er tightly.
At this time, there was a crowd of people on the side of the stage, and the generals were making a big noise.
"I won't withdraw! I won't withdraw even if I am killed! Yuwen Hongtai rushed to the top of the general's platform and almost pointed at Li Daozong's nose and shouted, "This military order is fake!" It's definitely fake! King Jiangxia, I have always respected you, don't fool me! โ
"Yuwen Hongtai, Hugh is unreasonable, don't retreat!" Hou Junji shouted in a deep voice.
"Shut up!" Yuwen Hongtai yelled, "It's a shame that my third brother values you so much, Hou Junji!" As soon as my third brother leaves, you will take us and run away as a shrunken turtle! If you don't take revenge, you don't even want Dafeichuan! - It's clear that the two of you are working together to deceive, and nong a fake military order to deceive us! The third brother has been gone for so many days, where is the military order left for you? Bah! Swindler! โ
There are many generals in the audience who have the same idea as Yuwen Hongtai, especially these people in the Modao Battalion are Yuwen Hongtai's life and death, and they all shouted loudly at this time.
Li Daozong is not depressed!
According to his ordinary temper, he took down this Yuwen Hongtai a long time ago, and the military law dealt with it. But right now, it's really not going to work.
First, the military order left by Qin Mubai did feel a little incredible and inexplicable even to Li Daozong himself. If it weren't for the fact that this military order was given to him by his own son Li Xueyan, where did he get it, he wouldn't have believed half a point; Moreover, although Yuwen Hongtai is only a mere four-rank general now, his relationship with Qin Mubai is inseparable, just like his own brother. This is known to everyone in the Kansai Army. In addition, Yuwen Hongtai has always only recognized the father and son of the Qin family, and he doesn't care about any generals and princes, and he can do anything reckless if he is annoyed. Therefore, even Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun are usually in awe of this upright and fiery reckless man.
"What a headache!" Li Daozong couldn't help but secretly complain.
"Yuwen Hongtai, are you literate?" Hou Junji said suddenly.
"I'm illiterate, what's wrong?" Yuwen Hongtai said indignantly.
"Then it can't be helped." Hou Junji smiled helplessly as if sarcastic, "If you are literate, you can also identify whether this is the handwriting of the young marshal." โ
Yuwen Hongtai rolled his eyes, stepped forward and pulled the military order, "Show it to me!" โ
"Ahem, you took it!" Li Daozong almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
The audience was already laughing, and someone shouted, "General Yuwen, you better come down quickly, Hugh is going to collide with the prince!" That military order must be fake, so why should it be recognized! โ
"That's right! Hum! Yuwen Hongtai angrily threw the white silk military order to Li Daozong, glared at him a few times, and said, "Lord Wang, we invited you to come, so that you can take us to fight, clean up the Tubo people and avenge the young marshal." Why did you run away with us as soon as you came? - If that's the case, your old man should go back to Lanzhou! Without you, we can fight this battle ourselves! โ
"Yuwen Hongtai, don't shut up yet, get out!" Xue Wanjun shouted in a deep voice.
"Get out of here!" Seeing that Li Daozong's face was about to change, Yuwen Hongtai jumped off the platform with interest, patted his buttocks, and stood back in the train like a winner.
Li Daozong and Hou Junji glanced at each other, and their faces were difficult to sรจ.
This situation is really difficult to clean up. It's not that the generals didn't even listen to Qin Mubai's military order, the main thing is that this military order is really strange, and it can't help but make people doubt his authenticity. Originally, everyone didn't want to retreat in their hearts, so they naturally subjectively decided that it was fake.
"Xue Wanjun, this king hopes that you will focus on the overall situation." Li Daozong said in a low voice, "Qin Mubai's special font is called 'Thin Gold', and even His Majesty the Emperor has praised his calligraphy and paintings, saying, 'There is no match in the world, and nothing can be imitated'." And you are the central general, and you are quite familiar with Qin Mubai's handwriting, aren't you? โ
Xue Wanjun said: "Naturally. The last general knows what the prince wants to say. Although the last general could not believe it, the last general knew that this military order was indeed true and was from the hand of the young marshal. But ......"
"Don't 'but'!" Li Daozong's eyebrows sank and said, "The military situation is like fire, how can it be delayed?" The top priority is to evacuate Dafeichuan! โ
"I just don't understand, why do you want to withdraw?" Xue Wanjun finally shouted out what he thought in his heart.
"Military orders are for obedience, not for questioning and explaining!" Li Daozong shouted, "Since you believe that this military order is true, carry it out!" โ
"Fake, fake, fake!!" Yuwen Hongtai in the audience shouted again.
"Yuwen Hongtai, you have to be frivolous again! Otherwise, the sixteen red-clothed executioners on the stage will be ordered, but the law will not be merciful! โ
โฆโฆ
In front of the stage, the quarrel became a pot of porridge. They are all martial artists with strong blood, and their words are full of anger, and the scene is extremely hot.
Chen Yan walked to the vicinity of Dianjiangtai with Xiao Lou'er in her arms, and saw Li Daozong and others making a lot of noise there from a distance, she couldn't help but feel worried and angry in her heart, and said secretly: As soon as Mu Bai left, why did the army under his command make a fuss? Even my stepfather can't hold back the table!
"Auntie, look, grandpa is there! And Uncle Black, why did they quarrel? Xiao Lou'er pointed over there and said a little scared.
Chen Yan asked the sergeant who led the way what was the matter. The sergeant told the truth and said that the generals were arguing with the prince because of the authenticity of the military orders left by Young Marshal Qin.
"It's so easy, I know the words of your young marshal!" After that, Chen Yan walked to the Dianjiang platform with Xiao Lou'er in her arms.
As soon as her figure appeared, it attracted the attention of many people. Li Daozong, Yuwen Hongtai and the others also stopped making noise for the time being, and looked at her in unison.
"Chen Yan? What are you doing here! Li Daozong said in surprise.
"Grandpa! Uncle Black! Xiao Lou'er was not timid at all, she was not afraid of the countless people present, and she called people with a smile.
As soon as Yuwen Hongtai saw Xiao Lou'er, he was immediately surprised, rushed to the point and hugged her, laughed and hugged her a few circles, and then said loudly: "Brothers, this is our young marshal's wife and NV!" - Don't hurry up and see you! โ
"I've seen Madame!" Tens of thousands of people clasped their fists one after another, and the momentum was impressive!
"Wow, there are so many people...... Xiao Lou'er was a little scared at this time, and hugged Yuwen Hongtai's neck tightly, "Uncle Hei, I'm afraid!" There are so many people here, you can take me away! โ
"Lou'er is good, don't go. Come down, don't pester Uncle Hei. Chen Yan took Xiao Lou'er and put it on the ground and let her stand by herself, hugged Li Daozong, and said, "Lord Wang, I heard that you will not make a decision on the authenticity of the military order left by Mu Bai. Minv please, can you show me this military order? I recognize his handwriting! โ
Li Daozong suddenly took a long breath and said, "It's so best - soldiers, have you all heard it?" Her name is Chen Yan, and she is the wife of the young marshal. It's up to her to identify the handwriting, so everyone will believe it, right? โ
Yuwen Hongtai was stunned for a while, looked at Chen Yan blankly, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, then you have to ...... See clearly, huh? โ
"Don't worry." Chen Yan smiled slightly, "I am willing to ask the prince to give the military order to take a look." โ
"Look!" Li Daozong gave the military order to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan took the military order written on white silk and looked at it carefully word by word.
On the school grounds, the wind is rising. The yellow sand is flying, and the flag is hunting. The white silk also flew in Chen Yan's hands.
The handwriting on the white silk is so familiar...... In front of Chen Yan's eyes, he couldn't help but think of the thousand paper cranes flying in the wind tied to the window edge in the water building outside Xiangyang City.
The past is gone, and the deceased is gone......
"This trace is true......" After a long time, Chen Yan mechanically spit out these words.
"How could it be! No way! Yuwen Hongtai shouted, "Sister-in-law, you must recognize it clearly!" โ
"You can't be wrong." Chen Yan took a deep breath, held back the tears in her eyes, and said, "If I can still remember a person's handwriting in this world, it must be Xiao Lou'er's father." โ
After that, Chen Yan took out a xiao cloth bag from her arms and opened it, and inside was a folded thousand paper crane. She unfolded it, and there were a few lines of xiao poems on it.
"You can compare it yourself. This is the ...... of the year Verses written by Mubai. โ
"Don't look, I don't look!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted twice, and shouted to the sky very unwillingly, "Why! Third brother, why did you let us retreat! โ
The audience was silent.
"Uncle Hei, don't be angry......" Xiao Lou'er timidly pulled the corner of Yuwen Hongtai's clothes.
"Okay, I'm not angry! ......" Yuwen Hongtai hurriedly stopped, bent down and picked up Xiao Lou'er, but couldn't help but whimper, "Xiao Lou'er, your Uncle Hei is useless, he is a waste and a bad seed!" Even if you fight for your life, you can't cut off the dog's head in Garqinling, and you haven't avenged your father! โ
"Revenge for my father? Why? Xiao Lou'er tilted her head and blinked her big black eyes, and asked curiously.
"Lou'er, come here." Chen Yan called, "Come, read the military order written by your father to your uncles." โ
"Oh!" Xiao Lou'er responded with a smile, Yuwen Hongtai hugged her over and put her down, and Chen Yan opened the white silk with both hands.
"Auntie, I don't know a lot of words on it! โฆโฆ I only know a few! Xiao Lou'er stuck out her tongue and said a little shyly with a grimace.
"Come, A-Niang will teach you to read."
"Oh!"
"General!" Chen Yan's voice was extremely resolute.
"General!" Xiao Lou'er snorted, learned the tone of her mother, and shouted vigorously in her childish voice.
"All the officers and men of the Kansai Army ......"
"All the officers and men of the Kansai Army! โฆโฆ Ah Niang, I recognize this word! โ
"Abandon all baggage ......"
One NV and one child, one after the other, repeatedly chanted the words in the military order. The sound was not loud, but it resounded unusually clearly in the clear sky of the Ofikawa.
"The Grand Commander of the Guanxi Road Marching Army-Qin Mubai!" After reading the last sentence, Chen Yan's tears finally burst out of her eyes.
"Qin Mubai, it's my father! โฆโฆ Mother, why are you crying? Xiao Lou'er hurriedly went up and hugged Chen Yan's tuว.
"Woo! โโ" On the side, Yuwen Hongtai suddenly let out a loud cry and roared, "Brothers, did you hear the military order read by Madame clearly?" โ
"Hear me clearly!!" The soldiers of the three armies shouted with sorrow.
"That's a fart! Pack up the guys and get ready to go!! Yuwen Hongtai shouted hysterically, strode forward and picked up Xiao Lou'er, holding him tightly in his arms and refusing to let go. himself, but he cried loudly, crying like a xiao child.
"Uncle Hei, don't cry!" Xiao Lou'er hugged Yuwen Hongtai's neck, patted him on the back like an adult, and said, "Who bullied you?" When my dad comes back, I'll help you tell him! Let him, hit that bad guy's board! โ
Yuwen Hongtai cried even harder.
The officers and men of the three armies dispersed silently......
"Hey! ......" Li Daozong sighed, and he didn't know whether he exhaled with relief or sighed with sadness, he said to himself, "General, the soul of the army!" The Kansai Army has been deeply branded by Qin Mubai, and no one can erase it! โฆโฆ It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a shame, it's a shame! โ
