Chapter XXXVIII. Arise, you who do not want to be slaves

Yue Fei, who had just been promoted to the envoy of the military festival after the imperial camp, said: "The minister thinks it is appropriate to divide the troops and march west. It can be led by General Qu to join the troops of General Zongze of Kaifeng from the south of the Yellow River to cross the Yellow River to the north, and the other route to lead the troops to the west from the north of the Yellow River. Yue Fei pointed to the map, "Your Majesty, please see, the Jin army in Xinxiang and Ji County, when they learn that our army is coming to help, they will join forces." Qimen is the main road between the Yellow River and Qishui, and it is also the only way for our army to advance westward. At that time, our army blocked him to the east of Qimen, and General Qu and General Zong went north to cut off the enemy's southern route. Wu Jue and other generals dragged the Jin army to the west, and waited for General Liu to cross the Taihang Mountain in the east of Lingchuan to cut off his north road. There are also the Yellow River, Taihang Mountain, Qishui, and Qingshui, and the Jin Army cannot escape! ”

The generals were overjoyed, if they came to catch the turtle in an urn, the Jin army would be killed, and it would be a fatal blow to the Jinxia coalition army, and it would be difficult for them to have the strength to invade the south within a few years.

Qu Ping said: "To perform this script well, in addition to the cooperation of the Jin Army, the more important thing is that we have to grab a time difference, that is, to block the Jin Army, and to deny him the opportunity to escape to Xiangzhou and the Daimyo's Mansion!" ”

Zhao Gou thought so and said, "That's feasible. General Zong is now stationed 40,000 troops in Fengqiu, and immediately Pegasus sent a decree to let him join our army in two days at Wang Xianxi, and then sent an edict to Wu Jue and other generals, telling them that I had sent troops, and let them see the situation and make every effort to encircle and suppress the Jin army, and there must be no mistake! ”

"Yes!"

Qu Ping said to Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty, this battle can be said to be a decisive battle, and it is extremely dangerous. The minister implored the emperor to stay in Kyoto and strategize! ”

Zhao Gou said angrily: "I know your mind, I understand it, but I won't back down!" Not only will I fight with you, but I will also wave the flag for you, beat the drum for you, and cheer for you. I will be with you, you will be there, I will be there, you will die, I too will die! ”

All the generals were moved, and they swore to serve their lives and exterminate the gold thieves.

After everything is done, the moon has gone up to the treetops.

Qu Ping found an opportunity for no one to ask Li Cailian: "General Feitian, where is Xiao Lu?" ”

Li Cailian said: "Don't make fun of me, Sister Xiao has been waiting for you in the backyard for a long time, and she wants to wear it." ”

Qu Ping said goodbye to Li Cailian with a smile and went to find Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu was tired of waiting at the door, and finally saw Qu Ping appear, she rushed over with rain, and hit Qu Ping's chest with a small fist: "You are finally willing to appear!" I'm so afraid I won't see you! "A woman in love has opened her heart to him.

Qu Ping took Xiao Lu into his arms with a big hand and said, "I love the country and my family, how can I not show up?" ”

"What do I have to do with your family?"

"Me and you are home, and if there are more people in the future, we will be a big family."

Xiao Lu said angrily: "There will be more people in the future, how many more do you want?" She said coquettishly, "Aren't you satisfied with being like me?" ”

Qu Ping quipped: "I mean we will have a lot of children in the future, just one family." ”

"Who wants to have children with you, it seems like we don't get along much, right?"

"It's okay, we can speed things up." Qu Ping said, "Okay, to be serious, tomorrow I will lead troops west to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army, you will go back to the capital and live in my house first." ”

"No, I'm with you!"

"You're a woman, what are you doing with the army?"

"Why not, Sister Cailian is not also in the army, she also got a Flying Tiger General, and Sister Hongyu also got the name of Mrs. Protector, I want one too!"

Qu Ping thought to himself, how could he mix up the sisters so quickly, and it also exposed the natural nature of a woman's natural comparison. Qu Ping said: "Don't you mind your identity as the county lord of Liaoguo? ”

Xiao Lu said gloomily: "The old country is unbearable to look back on, and I don't mind what it does." Now that I've decided to be with you, I've long since abandoned my previous identity and uneasy thoughts. ”

"Of course it's best if you think so." Qu Ping said, "I will definitely destroy the Jin Kingdom, but if you have a heart, it can be regarded as a dowry for you, how about it?" ”

"Destroying the Jin Kingdom is considered a dowry, so when will I wait, everyone will be old."

"Then make it a token of love."

"It's not right to make a love token, haven't you made a love affair with me now?"

Qu Ping's head was big for a while, and he said, "Even if I lose, I shouldn't worry about women." ”

Xiao Lu shouted: "Qu Dashuai, pay attention to your words, I am a girl, not a woman." ”

"Slip of the tongue." Qu Ping thought to himself, is the dignified general about to be reduced to a strict wife? Then he comforted himself and said, forget it, someone must give in in love.

At this time, Zhao Gou suddenly appeared from behind him and said, "Or, who are you chatting with so happily?" ”

Qu Ping's heart was miserable, and he was about to explain, Xiao Lu preemptively said: "The people's daughter sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Zhao Gou looked at Xiao Lu strangely, and only after half a sound did he suddenly realize that it was a female companion in men's clothes, looking at his handsome appearance, he had a sense of déjà vu. Zhao Gou said: "Besides, you have a golden house, and your life is quite nourishing!" What is this girl's name, it seems to be a little familiar? ”

Qu Ping hurriedly explained: "Her name is Xiao Lu. Your Majesty, there are so many people in the world who look alike, not to mention that the emperor is still the king of a country, and the whole world is not a prince and minister, everyone is your people, and you look familiar......."

Before Qu Ping could finish speaking, Xiao Lu suddenly took off her hat and revealed her waist-length hair, which stunned Qu Ping. How can you talk and do things without saying hello in advance?

Zhao Gou was also stunned: "You...... You...... You, you're not the one in Xiangzhou......"

Xiao Lu said: "The emperor is wise, and the folk girl is the Oiran that night!" ”

Zhao Gouxin said, I didn't expect Qu Ping to take the lead.

Xiao Lu continued: "Thanks to General Qu's righteous rescue that night, otherwise the people and the emperor would have suffered. The people's daughter is grateful to General Qu in the narrow sense, and she has already secretly promised that the emperor can fulfill it. ”

Zhao Gouxin wanted to be a hero to save the beauty of himself, but fortunately, such a stunning woman was cheap by his right-hand man, General Qu Ping, and that could be regarded as having something to do with me. Zhao Gou encouraged himself with the spirit of Ah Q, so he was no longer jealous, but sincerely happy for Qu Ping. He said, "Well, when the war is over, I will marry you and personally officiate for you!" ”

"Your Majesty." Xiao Lu pulled Qu Ping and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Qu Ping thanked the emperor, thinking that he was looking for a barbaric princess!

Xiao Lu was not shocked, she said: "I heard that the emperor is going to drive the emperor again, and the people are willing to go together, beat the drum and sing gold, and cheer for the soldiers!" ”

Qu Ping hurriedly stopped: "Ridiculous, how can drumming before the war be child's play!" ”

The emperor said: "Or, what you said is biased, you must know that women do not let their eyebrows be bearded, and the grass needs safflower more." Think about it, if there is a heroic female general who comes to beat the drums, the soldiers will definitely be heroic and morale will be high! ”

Qu Ping thought, how can there be such unreliable two people, are they a natural pair.

Xiao Lu looked at Qu Ping with victorious eyes, and pouted proudly.

Qu Ping had no choice, so she had to explain that she hurriedly asked Li Cailian to learn the rhythm and momentum of drumming. Waiting for Xiao Lu to leave happily, Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, you let a weak woman beat the drum, I don't know if it's right or wrong." ”

"It's okay, won't I still be on the sidelines?" Zhao Gou said, "Today you pretended to invite me back to Beijing, but I sternly refused, which greatly boosted the ambition of the generals, and it is wonderful that you and I cooperated!" ”

Qu Ping said: "I really ask you to go back to Beijing. ”

"Really? That's what I thought you would. But I really want to do it myself. This time, I will not let an inch of land be trampled in front of my eyes! ”

The next day, Zhao Gou and the generals stood on a high platform, facing the 60,000 soldiers who were about to go on the expedition, and said loudly: "Soldiers, yesterday we ended the arrogance of the Jin army with a beautiful victory, and today, we will take a victorious posture to further wipe out the enemy army in the Central Plains, so that their corpses cannot be returned to their souls!" I will always be with you, guarding every inch of land, you are here, I am here, if you die, I can also die! ”

Qu Ping led the soldiers and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Of the 60,000 soldiers, there were 20,000 cavalry, including 5,000 crossbow cavalry, another 20,000 soldiers with bows and arrows, 20 catapults, and 1,000 bed crossbows. It can be said that it is the most elite troops.

Qu Ping picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Soldiers, this will be a decisive battle that will determine the future, only with the determination to win, with the courage not to fear death, can we defeat the strong enemy, can we fight the enemy, can we engrave fear deeply in their bones." Soldiers, let us drive out the Tartars and restore China for the sake of our homeland and our families! ”

The morale of the warriors was high, the crowd was angry, their chests were held high, and the weapons in their hands were clenched.

Qu Ping paused and sang in a high-pitched voice: "Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall! The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time, and everyone is forced to let out the last roar! Get up! Get up! Get up! We are united as one, braving the enemy's artillery fire, forward, braving the enemy's artillery fire, forward! Advance! Advance! Enter!!! ”

"Onward! Advance!! Advance!!! "The whole army shouted, deafening.

Qu Ping and Yue Fei each led 30,000 elite soldiers and set off immediately. Qu Ping and Yue Feiyuan's respective generals returned to their respective departments. Qu Ping's 30,000 elite soldiers, including 10,000 cavalry, including 5,000 crossbow cavalry, 20 catapults and 1,000 bed crossbows were drawn by horses, and they moved forward as soon as possible.

Because it is an official road close to Gyeonggi, it is much faster than walking on a rugged mountain road.
