Volume II: The Waves Chapter 64: The Feast
In August, yesterday was the rainstorm, and today is the scorching sun, and many soldiers are sick under the alternation of cold and heat.
Morale in the army was even lower.
Han Shi'e sent scouts to report the military situation, it was already the afternoon of the second day, and he still hurried back, and only arrived at the camp, and after a while, a guard trotted out and said, "Zhang Wuchang, come with so-and-so." ”
Zhang Haigang came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw Gao Si standing at the door waiting for him.
Zhang Hai was moved in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug his fist and salute, "I've seen the handsome." ”
When Gao Si saw him saluting, he immediately stepped forward, picked him up and said, "It's hard to run all the way, let's talk about the military situation inside." ”
When you enter the account, you will have tea with you.
Zhang Hai took it, drank it in a big gulp, and then hurriedly said: "The situation of Qu Tutong's army has been clarified. I sneaked all the way to investigate and found that there was another wave of Sui troops flying the banner of General Chen. The army of officers and soldiers has already pursued Neixiang County, which is only a day and a half away.
After hearing this, Gao Si felt a little solemn in his heart, and said: "The reward banquet is already being prepared outside, and you came back just in time, Ben Shuai is about to reward the warriors, count you in." After receiving the reward, relax for a while, and arrange the march after listening. ”
Seeing that Zhang Hai was a little confused, Gao Si was a little gloomy, and said: "In the battle the day before yesterday, the brothers suffered heavy casualties, although I defeated Yuwen Chengdu this time and captured a large number of armor and grain and grass, but it did not improve the situation of our army. You are loyal and courageous, and you can take on great responsibilities in the future, so you tell the truth. ”
"After the news of this big victory spreads, if my prediction is correct, Qu Tutong will attack with all his strength, so be careful. This war is not far off, and the news cannot spread. ”
"Lord, the villain is white. No matter how many officers and soldiers come, I am not afraid. If the officers and soldiers dare to chase, we will dare to fight! Zhang Hai clenched his fists, quite morale.
"Go ahead. To Chang Ho Na to receive the order. ”
"Yes." Zhang Hai turned and left.
"Why do you attach so much importance to a captain?" Yang Min, who was dressed as a small soldier, couldn't help but be surprised.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!
Gao Si sighed, and said slowly for a while: "This son is dusty and does not forget the military order, the knife marks and arrow sores are all in front of him, and he must not be brave." Besides, I am calling you urgently, because there is something important that requires your intervention. During this time, the army fought hard continuously, with mixed victories and defeats, and it was urgent to appease the army. Especially for those who have made meritorious deeds and have not been rewarded, they must take this opportunity to be rewarded. Of course, deceased generals who have suitable children can also be compensated to the meritorious soldiers in the army.
I am an ordinary person, but now I am forced by the times to stand up. Please. ”
Yang Min got up, restrained his sorrow, and said: "Don't worry, there will be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the concubine still understands this truth." The Yang family is full of worries about survival, and I will arrange it. ”
"That's what it means." Gao Si was overjoyed, and as he spoke, he used his aura to look at the changes in the number of qi in the camp.
The evil aura in the army did not collapse, but at this time, the number of qi fell to the lowest point, the tiger talisman was already full of cracks, and even the number of qi was floating outside, and the slightest trace was dissipating.
The only thing worth being vigilant about is that the image of his natal carp spitting out the book has changed like pitch black, and the pages of the sealed book are floating and floating, barely controlling the public qi, but it is also on the verge of falling.
Gao Si introspected in his heart, if he can break through the encirclement this time, the tiger will enter the deep mountains, the dragon will return to the sea, and he will be able to make a comeback in the future.
The celebration banquet is a bull's head banquet.
The news spread at the right time, and at this time, the already low morale was quickly boosted.
Even Hu Sizheng, who was still recuperating in bed in the back camp, jumped up when he heard the news, covered his injured shoulder, and looked at the camp with anticipation.
On the morning of this day, Li Baiyao was busy non-stop, commanding the heavy battalion to slaughter cattle and cook them, and also approved military merits, and selected a list of meritorious soldiers to report.
Since he decided to hold a bull head banquet to reward the soldiers, Gao Si made an appointment with several generals respectively, such as the remaining generals and colonels of the Chu army, some of them were panicked and did not know what the way forward was.
This made Gao Si show a difference, he had already seen where the way of life was, and he was not afraid to say: "What are you afraid of, there are already a large number of displaced people in Hebei, as long as you detour west to Hongnong Palace, and cross the Yellow River from Longmen in Shaanzhou into Shanxi, then everyone can live." ”
He talked so much that he believed it.
The initial reassurance was made, and the hour was already in the afternoon. Yang Min took the list of school-age women in his family and read it in a clear voice.
When he thought of Yang Yuer, the daughter of Yang Gongdao, who was sixteen years old and had reached the age of leaving the cabinet, Gao Si suddenly raised his head in surprise and hurriedly stopped.
"What do you want to do, are you going to marry another one?" This aroused Yang Min's vigilance, and the sharp color of the phoenix eyes spread, and she looked at her husband from time to time.
Gao Si knew that there was a misunderstanding, and after laughing, he said, "Where, Madame is too worried." I think Han Shi'e is resourceful and good at fighting, and he was born in a general, which is his good match. ”
"Hmph, count you as acquaintances. Yu'er's sister lost her father suddenly, which is already pitiful, and she should find a wishful husband for her. After confirming this, Yang Min also relaxed.
But at the end of the queue, when it comes to a name, I can't help but hesitate. This pause surprised Gao Si, and when he took it over, he found that it was the name of Yang Min's sister Yang Xue.
"My sister is also willing to remarry?" Gao Si couldn't help but exclaim: "Li Mike is still alive." ”
mentioned Li Mi, Yang Min was very angry, and couldn't help but say the reason.
"Li Mi, when you are frustrated, you can hide in the countryside, and you will soar above the nine heavens on the day of your ambition. can hide and fly, although he can be a dragon among people, but he is not the son-in-law of my Yang family. Now that he has abandoned his wife and daughter, I should cut him off and find the other two. This is Yang Xue's attitude.
"Li Mi, this guy is going to have a little green on his head."
Gao Si was relieved, but couldn't help but be curious, just abandoned by her husband, she was able to get out of the emotional shadow, and this big sister is not mortal.
My heart moved, and I couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be that my sister has a sweetheart?" ”
"Ah——, how do you know?" Yang Min was subconsciously surprised.
"Who is it?" "Who else could it be, the black stupid big man Wei Chi Gong."
Poof-Gao Si choked on the tea in surprise.
Yang Xue and Yu Chigong, isn't this an ancient version of Beauty and the Beast?
It's just that this annoyed Yang Min, and she said coquettishly: "Don't laugh." My sister is gentle and virtuous, and she wanted to find a reliable man, but who knew that Li Mi would only care about her own life when she was coming. Tell you, the rear battalion was also in danger many times during the march, and Wei Chigong was brave and good at fighting, and saved his sister in danger three times and twice. It's not unusual for the two to have a relationship. ”
Speaking of this, he shook Gao Si's arm, and did not forget to plead: "Before my brother died, he appointed his husband to be the head of the Yang family." You can't object to that. ”
After listening, Gao Si went in with a sad face, and said in a back breath: "Lady, don't worry." Wei Chi Gong is loyal and brave, and he is a talented general in the world. How can I not fulfill the matter of the eldest sister and him? ”
"Who is available and who is not, I naturally know. You bring me the list you just had, and I'd like to think about it again. Thinking of the degree of reward and punishment, Gao Si hurriedly said.
Seeing this, Yang Min sighed secretly, took the list of family members and meritorious service, and handed it to her husband.
After carefully reading the above content twice, Gao Si's heart was a little more stable, he picked up the brush and crossed out one of the names, and said: "Wei Jue is pregnant, so she won't arrange it for the time being." ”
Seeing that Gao Si had arranged properly, Yang Min's face did not change color, but his heart was surprised and sour.
In terms of having a soul, he really can't compare to Xu Xiaohui. Because, persuading my sister to marry Wei Chi Jingde, the mastermind is not her.
Regardless of the imminent arrival of the chasing soldiers, Gao Si strongly advocated holding a bull head banquet to reward the meritorious soldiers and win the hearts of the army.
It was not dark, and all the torches were lit.
The battalions were divided, and the drums were gathered. The beef is fragrant, and the spirits are ready.
Li Baiyao stood on the left with the merit book in his hand, and Yang Min stood on the right with the marriage book.
Gao Si ascended to the stage, pressed his hands forward, the drum stopped, and the scene suddenly became silent.
He suddenly asked, "The one who beheads ten people can be described as a warrior." My brother, who is it? ”
"Bianzhou Zhang Hai, Bianzhou Wang Qing, Bianzhou Wang Boren, Bianzhou Chang He, Liyang Hantong, Liyang Xu San, Jijun Fang Daniu, Qian Yuan, etc." Li Baiyao turned the first page and read a total of twenty-two people.
For each person, Gao Si ordered the whole army to roll call, make them come to the stage, be named centurion according to merit, and allow him to take a large piece of beef first and drink three bowls of wine.
After everyone cheered, Gao Si read it again.
Breaking the enemy in battle and killing the meritorious service, who is my brother?
"Wei Chi Gong bravely climbed first, beheaded three generals, and blocked the enemy with merit, and gave Zheng Zheng the post of Jiupin Battalion, with 2,000 soldiers. In addition, he married Yang Xue, the daughter of the Yang family, to him. ”
"The centurion Hu Sizheng sacrificed his life to savior, was loyal and courageous, promoted him to the head of the halberd, commanded eight hundred soldiers, and gave him a woman as his wife."
"Appoint Han Shi'e as the commander of the rear camp, give him the position of captain of the ninth grade, take charge of 5,000 soldiers, and give Yang Yu'er, the daughter of the Sui Yang clan, to be his wife."
"Appoint Yang Jishan, Yang Minxing, and He Huailiang as deputy captains, each in charge of 2,000 soldiers, and reward them again for meritorious service in the future."
"The above appointments will take effect immediately, and after the bull's head banquet is celebrated, they will each take office."
Gao Si issued several appointments in a row, plus all kinds of rewards, which suddenly made Wen Wen's heart jump, and he left behind any fears of the officers and soldiers.
"Open the table!"
The bonfire dinner has begun.
The protagonists are naturally the warriors who have made meritorious contributions, as well as the generals who have been promoted, and through this series of appointments, the ordinary soldiers and the children of the gate lords in the camp are tied together by marriage.
Now, although the army is not out of danger and resists the army of a country with the strength of one army, although this pressure is as heavy as Mount Tai, it will also force out the true potential and cohesion of the remnants of the Chu army.
In the process of condensing the soul of an army, it will inevitably encounter all kinds of crises, most of which may not be able to resist, and once defeated, they will be wiped out immediately. If the last torch is collected, as long as the backbone remains, it will definitely form a prairie fire in the future and sweep the world like a sweep.
For example, Shang Ying's change of law created a million tigers and wolves of Qiang Qin.
For example, the Han Wu whipped and attacked the Huns, and laid down the immortal majesty of those who committed the great Han Tianwei, although they were far away.
Once the soul of the army is cast, it is a steel lion that cannot be defeated or dragged down!
"Batch iron armor, carry a long knife. The battle with the son is long.
Fight with the enemy, die and live together. Fight with your son, and your heart will not be slack. Stepping on the eight wilderness, the song is invincible. ”
drunk, Gao Si danced the sword and sang, singing the Han army military song that he didn't know the truth or falsehood in his previous life.
The generals will be together, and the sound will shake all over the world.
When the reward was passed on to Wang Boren, who was guarding against the Sui army in the front camp, and Han Shi'e, who was monitoring Qu Tutong in the rear camp, the camp was full of joy.
The difference is that Han Shi'e is as plain as water, Wang Boren is fierce as fire, and he vows that in the future, he will not be compared with each other, and meritorious service will be a first-class meritorious service.
On the second day, Gao Si ordered the army to march.
Flag hunting, 16,000 troops, like a forest, marched towards the Hongnong Palace in Shaanzhou.
