In the spring of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, on the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

Yecheng.

After the New Year, the cold weather fades away, and the green willow branches on both sides of the street signal the arrival of spring. Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and Wei County and Ji County have rarely enjoyed peace.

But in the hearts of the officials of the Zhengbei General's Mansion, this is the last peace.

Although spring is coming, when I get up early in the morning, it is still cold and windy.

"Peaceful days are rare, and people's livelihood is difficult." A new house, but two streets away from the General's Mansion.

The house has six rooms, which are small but elegantly decorated.

The light rain in the sky street is as moist as a crisp, and the grass color is close but there is none. There was a drizzle in the sky, falling like silk threads.

A scribe dressed in a black robe and holding an oil-paper umbrella walked to the courtyard and quietly looked at the sky.

This person has a resolute appearance, tough eyebrows, and a graceful demeanor, and he is Wei Zheng who is going out to discuss matters.

"Husband, be careful on the road." The woman in the house earnestly admonished.

Wei Zheng didn't say a word, turned around and went out to leave.

………………

White/Tiger Festival Hall.

In the general mansion of Zhengbei, in the wide hall, there are many people. Outside, guards in iron armor patrolled back and forth, staring slowly at the passers-by.

Wei Zheng was familiar with the road and was led in by the guards.

When the important personnel arrived, Gao Si announced the start of the meeting.

The military priest Cui Luo said with a smile: "Now that our army has two counties, and Liyang Cang is in hand, we should strive to move forward and sweep away Yang Yichen and Dou Jiande with the power of thunder. As for Xue Shixiong, the general who is about to go south, he can be put to deal with it later. What do you think? “

"A certain family thought it would be a direct fight." Wei Chigong stood up and said loudly, looking around to see those who were in favor of and who were against.

"Don't be moved." Another general suddenly raised his head to object, but it was He Huailiang, "As for the strategy of using troops, we must pull one to fight another." Whoever strikes first is all at the command of the lord. ”

The ancestors of the He family have been generals for two generations, and they all died of saying things that should not be said, so he learned a lesson and talked a lot less.

Others, such as Liuzhuang and Hu Sizheng, have their own opinions, or immediately send troops, or deal with Yang Yichen, and so on.

Bai // Tiger Festival Hall is Gao Si's headquarters, and military affairs are discussed here, but at this moment, there is no conclusion.

"Send troops ......" Gao Si subconsciously glanced at Wei Zheng.

This guy looked unfathomable and calm, so he asked, "Wei Xuancheng, why didn't you say a word?" Let's talk about it. ”

Wei Zheng had already planned, and at this moment he said confidently: "There is a countermeasure, please decide on it." ”

Gao Si smiled: "Take it." ”

The entourage took Wei Zheng's handwritten note Chen. I saw the opening paragraph:

"Emperor Yang Kaihuang opened the Sui Dynasty as a relative of Guan Longmen and a relative of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and in the prosperous era of thirty years, except for the Goryeo barbarians, there was no one who could resist.

Now, the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty led hundreds of officials to Yangzhou, watching the success or failure of the world, and trying to reorganize the rivers and mountains, which must be observed.

Secondly, the first righteous person is not the king, and the world has not yet reached a complete collapse situation. Since the general asked, his subordinates told him frankly. The general can rise in Wei County, refine a strong army, and enter the homeland of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but he still can't make enemies on many sides.

Nowadays, when he regards himself as a loyal minister of the Great Sui, once there is a change in the world, he can raise a righteous army, raise troops to ask for guilt, and force all parts of the country to surrender with the general trend, and occupy the land of Hebei without blood. ”

Gao Si was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then continued to watch.

Later, he continued: "Sui Ting also has a lot of intentions to attract generals. Today, the Son of Heaven not only marries his daughter, but also gives you the position of general, and allows you to open a mansion and set up officials. ”

Gao Si took a long breath and made a decision: "The real iron army...... toward

It's ...... I command! ”

This pre-war arrangement took about an hour.

When the soldiers and horses were dispatched and everyone walked out of the festival hall, Wei Chigong, He Huailiang, Hu Sizheng and others were elated and full of confidence.

Cui Luo laughed heartily: "Haha, the lord's strategy has been decided, this sacrificial wine will set up a feast to reward everyone, all the generals are coming, if you don't get drunk today, you can't miss any of them." ”

And all the people answered with their loud voices.

Wei Zheng turned his face: "I disagree with you, so I won't go to the banquet." “

Gao Si vetoed Wei Zheng's proposal for the first time, and he was slightly uneasy. Nai stepped out of the gate of the mansion and led a team of guards directly to Tongque Terrace.

There are already people on the high platform!

I saw Yuan Ziyan standing quietly on the edge of the steps, with a feather coat and a star crown, and her skin was better than blood, like a plum blossom blooming on a cliff, poetic and picturesque.

The beauty suddenly turned around and looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Gao Si, who had just come to the stage, was moved when he saw Yuan Ziyan, so he hugged the beauty and called softly: "Ziyan ......"

Yuan Ziyan turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, and moved sideways, "The world fights for dragons, either you win or die, this is a war between men." You're going to pull me into the water, but think about the consequences? ”

Plum blossoms are arrogant, how can they be idle?

Looking closely, Yuan Ziyan was much colder, her chin was slightly pointed, and her expression was solemn. Those eyes are even more dark and bright, and the charm is compelling, just looking at him quietly and deeply, to shine to the bottom of his heart.

Gao Si's miscellaneous thoughts disappeared suddenly, he took a sharp breath, saluted, and said seriously: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Master Yuan...... Seems to sense something. ”

"The Destiny True Dragon was born, your fate is on the line!" Yuan Ziyan's words were amazing.

Gao Si laughed loudly: "My life is up to me!" ”

The storm is rising.

-

Wagang Village.

Hundreds of thousands of peasant rebels gathered, commanders from all walks of life arrived one after another, and the guards were in high spirits, staring at the movements outside the city to prevent conflicts.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a convoy of horses and carts to come from a distance.

The horses' hooves were clanging, the wheels were rolling, and when they came, there was a kind of extravagance that made the soldiers of the city patrol can't help but bow their heads.

Soon, a short and fat green-shirted scribe stepped forward and called the door arrogantly: "Go and tell the Duke of Pushan that my son has arrived, come out to greet him." ”

The carriage stopped a stone's throw outside the city, escorted by two teams of knights, covered in black armor, and full of evil, at first glance, it was the elite of a hundred battles. What's even more eye-catching is the Tang Guogong flag planted on it.

Since repelling the invasion of the Ashina Hu iron cavalry, the prestige of Tang Guogong has spread all over the Great Sui, and countless heroes have vied to serve it. Li Shimin's name as the son of Jishi has also become golden, and there are talents to associate with him everywhere.

The gatekeeper did not dare to slack off, and quickly separated one person to report, and quickly disappeared at the door.

"Too bad." Rushing to the departing Wagang soldiers, the scribe commented disdainfully, and turned to the front of the horse team.

In the spacious carriage, Li Shimin leaned on the back of a silk-paved chair, enjoying the service of Guanyin, and was extremely happy.

"Auxiliary, you are more restrained, there are still some talents in the Wagang Army." Seeing his brother-in-law returning from the front, Li Shimin said lightly.

"Yes, Childe. Get ready to enter the city. The scribe replied respectfully.

The woman in the car is Li Shimin's newlywed wife, the eldest grandson is innocent, and her nickname is Guanyin.

The outside scribe is his elder brother, the eldest grandson Wuji, who is quite powerful.

The leader of the knights who led the team was Sun Shunde, the patriarch of the two, who was good at riding and archery and was brave.

"Hmph, the rabble can be so arrogant, the soldiers surround the eastern capital, and the Great Sui is really exhausted!" This feeling makes people happy, and the eldest grandson Shunde grinned.

This smile, on this person's face, is a little hideous, and there is even more unwilling resentment condensation, and the precipitation is getting stronger and stronger, so that this veteran can't wait to overturn the Great Sui River.

The eldest grandson came from the Xianbei aristocracy, the Wei Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty, and the talents of the generals emerged in endlessly, which can be described as a hairpin family.

It's just that when the Great Sui Dynasty was founded, the head of the contemporary Changsun family sided with the abolished prince Yang Yong and was brutally purged.

Nuoda's wealthy family has only a few descendants left, and even he has to take refuge under the command of Tang Guogong.

"If Uncle Eldest Sun wants to fight, just fight!" Glancing at the general standing in front of him with an indignant expression, Li Shimin spoke in an astonishing voice, and ordered: "Soon I will take you into battle, and when I encounter an opponent, I will kill you directly, and I don't have to show mercy this time." ”

"Yes!" The eldest grandson Shunde lifted the horse lance, breathed a few breaths of fresh air, and showed a relaxed look on his face, which had been rigid.

No matter who the enemy is, as long as there is a zhang to fight, arrogance is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

"Ah, although Erlang is good at using soldiers, the Wagang Army is known as a million people, so they are fighting here, isn't it...... Too impulsive? After all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, I, I don't worry about you! The eldest grandson's innocent pearl round and jade voice sounded.

"Don't be afraid, I'm measured. Of course, it's not Watagang, and as for the target of the troops, there is another place. Li Shimin smiled and comforted.

As he spoke, the gates of the city were opened.

"Let's go." Li Shimin gave the order.

The eldest grandson, Shunde, took the lead, followed by the guards, and after a while, he drove towards the city in a carriage.

At this time, in the city, Li Mi's face was full of anger at first, "This Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Guogong, is not small. Dare to underestimate me, I will give you a good look. “

Suddenly thinking of Gao Si, he gritted his teeth and quickly changed his face, pretended to be overjoyed, and ordered his relatives: "Follow me to welcome the prince of Jishi." “

The two sides soon met on the streets of the city.

Li Mi looked at it, and saw that the leader was a handsome young man, with an extraordinary appearance, looking at this side, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze.

Before he could speak, the young man stepped forward and took the lead in saluting.

I only heard Li Shimin say respectfully: "I have heard my uncle Wen Taowu for a long time, and it is better to meet him. “

"Hahaha, the ability of the prince of Ji Shi to retreat from the outside iron horse, my father also appreciates it, please inside!"

Li Mi welcomed Li Shimin and his entourage into the city, completely regarded himself as the master, and left the big dragon leader Zhai Rang aside.

This scene was all seen in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji.

…………

March 3, Halloween, Dali killing.

The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and they were prepared for another month.

Gao Si gave an order and rewarded the soldiers in the military camp outside Yecheng. After the third day, he used the people, chariots and horses, and Hu Sizheng led 3,000 men and horses to escort the first batch of grain and grass to the north along the official road.

Further to the front line, the battle documents were sent to Han Shi'e and Wang Boren by messengers, and Changshuidu and Wucheng all stepped up preparations for war.

Looking at the Yecheng city defense and the tall and sturdy Tongque/Dragon Tiger/Bingjing Santai from afar, coupled with the boundless ironclad army in front and back, Gao Si's cautious heart was completely different from when he first came out of the mountain, and he had a feeling of invincibility.

Jia Yuandu led a horse with knowledge and interest, and Gao Si got on the horse, and then commanded the army to set off.

I will go to the army to open the peace, and I will be the king in the peacetime.

"Let's go!" The army is moving.
