The sun is rising. The grass leaves are still stained with last night's dew, the sun has not completely dispelled the mist in the sky, the morning air is relatively humid, and the red sun is very bright on the horizon.

The entrance of the camp where the Chinese army marched was very noisy, a simple wooden platform was built, as if it was a platform for singing opera in the countryside, there were many wooden boards on both sides, which were covered with paper, and there was a commotion near the wooden board, and many soldiers looked up there.

A soldier struck a gong and shouted: "The Tiger Ben army is over there, the town soldiers are on the side, and the Long Jie army is on this side." ”

There were also officials from the camp and military government standing in front of the list, and some of them were reading the words on it, because some soldiers were not very literate, and some of them could not squeeze in at the back, so it was good to listen to others read it. There are also officials who are speaking loudly: "Today, the promotion list and the amount of reward for each commander have been set, because there are still more than 200 miles of land from Songzhou to Beijing, and it is not convenient for the soldiers to be transported and safeguarded, so after returning to Beijing, the state treasury will allocate the amount within five days......

There was a lot of talk among the people, and it turned out that the things they saw last night were not money. But everyone doesn't care, as long as the Chinese army says how much money it has, there should be no mistakes, the Great Zhou court must have this bit of credit, and there is nothing to give back again, and there is no need to move so far by yourself.

Another official shouted: "Let's see, if any commander feels unconvinced, ask the commander of the respective army or the army to wait for an explanation, and the Chinese army can follow the principles of each command and revise it again." The commander with the greatest credit, and the one who did not mention the credit, can have a tenfold difference in reward level, everyone has to see clearly......"

Even if you follow along, as long as the army that participates in the battle will have a reward, but it is definitely different from those who charge into battle as sharp knives to conquer cities. Everyone is quite accepting of this kind of method, most of the soldiers have done a lot of battles, and they understand that fighting a tough battle in front is to fight with their heads and their lives, and of course they should be rewarded more.

Most of the rewards and punishments issued by Guo Shao, the commander of the Chinese army, are not problematic, because they are written in detail, which commander has fought what battle, what role he has played in the whole campaign, and what results he has ...... Some people also wonder why the Chinese army knows so well, it all depends on the heralds and the officials who record military orders, and every important order issued by each military general is prepared, and the officials of the military government can roughly understand what each commander has done according to those military orders.

The people here were noisily listening to the officials reading the merit books, and the people and horses behind them were also gathering in a phalanx, most of them were soldiers of the Tiger Army and the Long Jie Army. After the army is stationed, it will go out in the morning and then line up. Patches of men and horses, like clouds of banners, can only have such a magnificent scene in the army.

After a long time, they heard the neat footsteps of "Ka, Ka, Ka, Ka......", and the generals turned their heads to see that four columns of elite infantry were coming in line, and then separated from each other and lined up nearby for martial law.

When everyone saw this battle, they knew that the generals and officials of the Chinese army were coming. Sure enough, after a while, a large group of horsemen escorted a few people over, and the current person was Guo Shao, the commander of the Chinese army.

Guo Shaoxing walked to the gate of the camp, turned over from his horse, handed the reins to the soldiers next to him, and strode towards the simple wooden platform.

"Guo Dashuai!" When the generals of the Tiger Ben Army saw him, they shouted, and then the troops shouted "Guo Dashuai, Guo Dashuai ......", and the sound instantly spread throughout the barracks. At this time, Guo Shao didn't expect it, but it also inspired his courage. Look, the soldiers are embracing me!

Guo Shao's heart was pounding, if it weren't for exercising in public all these years, he would definitely be very nervous at this time. Because standing in this kind of place, it will become the focus of the audience's attention, and countless eyes will affect people's emotions.

He took a deep breath, raised his hands to signal, and when the noise stopped for a while, he spoke: "Today's reward for meritorious deeds!" The brothers fought bloodily for months, relying on the benefits of fighting. ”

Countless soldiers in the audience cheered. Guo Shao said again: "We are fighting not only for the good, but also for the common people in the world!" Shu and Southern Tang have been included in the territory of my Great Zhou, and the strength of the Great Zhou has grown! At this moment, we are cheering victory, but ...... A large area of land in more than a dozen states of Youyun is still in the hands of foreigners. He waved the scabbard in his hand and pointed at the north with the hilt of the sword, "The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have been the core territory of China (the dynasty near the Central Plains) since ancient times, and this is the shame of all Huaxia children!" ”

Guo Shao said loudly: "How big a place, how many clansmen survive there." Brothers, think about it, what are the lives of those people of the same race and clan now? Now he is being humiliated by the barbarians, and he is moaning in humiliation and misery under the sword and gun! We're waiting for us all the time. The war is far from over, we want to recover the whole of Hebei ......"

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of drums, and the playing of Rao and pan flutes followed, and then hundreds of people nearby slowly sang: "Great Zhou warriors, restore my rivers and mountains." Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce......"

Zhou Xian composed the song, originally she also filled in the lyrics; But Guo Shao saw that there were allusions in just a few sentences, which were too elegant, and he was afraid that the old and rough martial artists would not understand and learn it, so he tinkered with four sentences by himself.

The heroic and tragic military music, the slow and magnificent singing, and the vigorous momentum quickly spread in the barracks. There were only four simple sentences in total, and hundreds of soldiers sang it repeatedly, and soon the people in the big array gradually began to sing along.

Zhang Ying and others from Youzhou Capital of the First Army of the Left Chambers were the first to speak, they were the most excited, and many people were wiping their tears and kneeling on the ground. These people were the people who defected to the Zhou army during the first Northern Expedition, and they were all Youzhou Han'ers, and I am afraid they felt the deepest and most direct about this.

The singing is getting louder and louder, and more and more people are singing. Tens of thousands of people gathered here to sing military songs, and the tragic and majestic voice echoed in the world, floating on the vast plain on the bank of the Bianshui River, shocking the earth. It was not a song, it seemed to be a cry and an oath of unity, and if the enemy of the far north saw such a battle, he would feel a chill down his spine.

Under the rising sun, the crowd that was noisy not long ago now looked solemn and immersed in the magnificent momentum. The song swept in the wind, passing over the rows of weather-beaten faces that had survived a hundred battles.

Heaven and earth are also moved, the old Songzhou City Tower, the tall building doors and windows, from a distance seems to be a pair of eyes, is looking down at a large number of soldiers, listening to this grand voice.

Even Guo Shao himself was shocked by the momentum in front of him, he held the hilt of his sword tightly and snorted.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Guo Dashuai led the brothers to be invincible!" To recover the rivers and mountains, everyone is only willing to follow Guo Dashuai! ”
