Gu Hui, the prefect of Jincheng, and Yan Chongwu, the commander of the Flying Bear Army, did not know what kind of consensus they had reached with each other, and after the army rested for three days, the Flying Bear Army, which was full of soldiers, gathered the three armies at the east gate of Jincheng and held a huge departure ceremony.

At this juncture, such an inexplicable departure ceremony is full of traces of deliberateness. Throughout history, there has never been a country that has gone back to the ceremony of departure after having already won a war. This is said to be the ancestral ritual, but after all, the handsome flag of the enemy leader Guo Xiao has been spread at the gate of the Yongling Hall in the Youbei Imperial Palace to commemorate the emperor's tablet; Is it a celebration ceremony? Guo Xing, the son of the family, led 50,000 elite armor soldiers are still eyeing the northern capital; What if it was deliberately done for Yan Day, the prince of the prison state? There's really no need for such a big battle. After all, Yan Tian has been blocked by Guo Xing at the door of his house for several days, if Yan Chongwu is really concerned about the safety of the royal family, then he should also return to help quickly, how can he have time to delay his work at the expedition ceremony.

And now in the eyes of the prince of the prison country, compared with face, he still hopes that 'Lizi' can be more comfortable.

But Yan Chongwu held this departure ceremony when everyone was confused.

Today's Yan Chongwu put on a new general armor made of fine iron, and the sword of the Son of Heaven worn on his waist was even polished shiny; And the ride he rode under his crotch was also replaced by a majestic war horse with a jet-black body and only four snow-white hooves. This horse is called 'Wu Hu', which was collected by the cattle dealer Yu Liang An for Shen Gui, and was given by Shen Gui to this new best friend.

In addition to these, Yan Chongwu, who has always adhered to the principle of 'practicality first', also put on a gorgeous and magnificent scarlet cloak behind the armor for the first time. In addition to the extremely bright color, this cloak also has a hand-embroidered dark blue pattern on it. This pattern is embroidered with the totem beast on the Flying Bear banner: it is a majestic adult black bear with a pair of goshawk-like wings growing from its back.

Moreover, this pattern was also stabbed by Mrs. Huang, the 'tigress' in Gu Huigu's family. Don't look at this Mrs. Huang's usual pungent and somewhat illiterate manners; But once you take care of these boudoir jobs in a woman's house, it can really be described as 'a pair of scissors on the kang and a shovel on the kang', which is enough to be called a pillar of virtue who can be inside and out.

Yan Chongwu jumped up from a high height, exerted his waist and abdomen in mid-air, and only borrowed a slight force with his feet, and then landed steadily on a general platform, and the cold north wind blew the scarlet cloak behind him. His eyes slowly swept over the comrades and siblings under the general's platform, and after a long time, he suddenly pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven that he was wearing at his waist, and the tip of the sword pointed obliquely in the direction of the capital:

"Soldiers! We have just won a great victory that can be recorded in the annals of Youbei, completely annihilating the 100,000 Beiyan enemy troops who invaded our Youbei Third Road, and slashing the enemy chieftain Pingbei Marquis Guo Xiao. The reason why this battle was able to succeed was to rely on the blessing of the Son of Heaven and the bloody battle of you.

But despite this, now under Fengjing, the capital of the northern part of China, there is Guo Xing, the son of Guo Xiao, and the army of 50,000 tigers and wolves led by him are eyeing our capital. Some people say that Guo Xing's 50,000 remnants of soldiers are the army of tigers and wolves who have a deep hatred of blood, and they should avoid their edge, and after the enemy is exhausted, they will be captured again; But Yan thought that Guo Xing and the remnants of his soldiers were no different from lambs to be slaughtered at this time! My Flying Bear Army soldiers are invincible in the world, and now what are you afraid of in the face of a group of lost dogs? ”

The camp of the Flying Bear Army outside Jincheng was 'smashed' by Guo Xing and his 8,000 cavalry before being personally 'smashed', and then it was burned; although he deliberately left the empty camp to lure the enemy, he was somewhat resentful in the hearts of the soldiers; in addition, Fang Junping, the commander of the guard battalion, who was very popular on weekdays, was also shot in the stomach by Guo Xing, and to this day he is still unconscious, and his life and death are unknown. These hatreds, every soldier of the Flying Bear Army present, have long been firmly in their hearts. In front of him, his own marshal used words to stir up, and all the emotions hidden in the hearts of the soldiers came up; The infantrymen who did not participate in the Battle of Puhe were even more ambitious and eager for a battle. I don't know under whose leadership, 50,000 soldiers shouted in unison, and the words they shouted were extremely simple, just one word:

"Fight! War! War! ”

Although there is only one word 'war', the momentum contained in it seems to be able to break through the nine skies! Even Gu Hui, who was born as a civil official, also roared out the green tendons on his neck at this time.

Yan Chongwu couldn't help nodding secretly when he saw that the military heart was available, and then swiped the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand, and the sword body raised a cold light, and the tip of the sword pointed obliquely at the sky:

"Pass on a certain general, the three armies will set off immediately!"

After speaking, Yan Chongwu put away his sword and returned it to the sheath, picked up the two drumsticks on the platform, rounded his arms, and beat the thick and majestic marching drums. The drumbeat of the general's drum went straight to the hearts of the people, and the footsteps of the 50,000 soldiers set off seemed to shake the earth.

It wasn't until the last figure of the rear army disappeared outside the horizon that Yan Chongwu used all his strength, raised his hands and drumsticks high, and in just one moment, he smashed the huge snare drum in front of him. Master Gu Hui Gu stood under the podium, squinting at Yan Chongwu who was trembling all over, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

How could Master Gu not know Yan Chongwu's thoughts? After all, this Yan Shuai and Pingbei Marquis Guo Xiao have been fighting in front of the East Customs for more than ten years; Now he is facing a low-hanging fruit of the Eastern Customs, but he has to give up this excellent fighter, and can only go back to the capital Fengjing, which is not dangerous. And in order to encourage the morale of the army, Fang Cai had to come up with such a long story to excuse Yan Hunt and Yan Day's father and son. Now the resentment and sourness in his heart can be known without asking.

After Yan Chongwu smashed the snare drum, he fell from the platform. After he took a breath, he put on a smiling face and walked in front of Gu Hui and his wife:

"Brother Gu, sister-in-law, I have been taken care of by Lao and Lao in the past few days, and Yan is very grateful. Today, the foolish brother is going back to the capital to help. At present, when the war is in chaos, I hope that the brother and sister-in-law will be careful in everything. Brother Gu, if you are undecided, you must ask your sister-in-law for more advice. ”

If Gu Hui was in between, when he heard Yan Chongwu's slightly humiliating words of persuasion, he must have brushed his sleeves away in anger; But now that he has gone through the catastrophe of life and death, in the face of these words, he just nodded calmly, and said no more after answering a sentence. Instead, Mrs. Huang stepped forward and took Yan Chongwu's big rough hands, and her mouth nagged with small instructions.

It wasn't until she could no longer see the scarlet cloak that she had sewn by herself, that Mrs. Huang put down her arms waving from side to side, looked at her husband who was 'reforming her heart', and said with a worried expression:

"Sir, have you seen it? Let's go to the north of the third road, I'm afraid it's going to change the sky......"

And Lord Gu also smiled miserably after hearing this, took his wife's hand, and turned around and walked towards Jincheng. The mouth also nagged as if talking to himself:

"Throughout the ages, this change of old and new has never stopped. According to the husband, I am afraid that it is not just this three roads in the north that will change the sky......"

So, Yan Chongwu led his 50,000 soldiers and began to march unhurriedly to Fengjing along the official road. Half a day later, the news reached the ears of Zhou Chang'an, the fourth prince in Yanjing City.

Before a stick of incense burned out, Zhou Changan rushed to the imperial study of Emperor Zhou Yuanqing with the news.

"What? Yan Chongwu moved? And you want to lead the army back to Fengjing? There was also a departure ceremony? What does that mean? ”

Emperor Tianyou couldn't help but smile dumbly when he heard the news, and asked his fourth son with a smile on his face. And Zhou Changan, who brought the news, also pursed his lips and smiled, and then habitually touched his head, shook his head and said:

"Although this thing is strange, I think that judging from Yan Chongwu's previous style, there will be such strange behaviors, which should not be just to boost the morale of the army......

"Oh? In my opinion, what is his intention in this coquettish manner? ”

Zhou Changan knew that this was his father teaching him, so he tilted his head and thought carefully for a while before he spoke:

"I thought that he should have deliberately acted for the prince of Youbei. Since Yan Chongwu didn't want to incur the grudge of Yan's father and son, he simply played the play bigger. In this way, can you still make a good impression in the future? ”

Zhou Yuanqing listened to the answer of the fourth prince, squinted his eyes and looked at him with a smile on his face for a while, then stretched out his index finger and nodded his eyebrows:

"If you think about it like this, I'm afraid it's easy to think about this Yan Dashuai! Judging by the talent he had shown before, it would never have been so straightforward for this person to do it. I'm here to ask you, how fast is the Flying Bear Army's march now? ”

Zhou Changan didn't even stumble, and immediately replied:

According to the news obtained by Erchen, Yan Chongwu led the army to set off today, and the army marched for three hours, and after walking about fifty miles, the army was stationed on the spot...... Oh, I see! It is true that Erchen has thought about this matter simply, and the Flying Bear Army is indeed more than a star and a half slow when marching at this speed. But...... Not without reason. After all, he had just seized the disconnect between Pingbei Hou and the march to steal the Puhe victory. Now that the man who marched a thousand miles has become himself, of course he will be extra careful! ”

When Zhou Changan said this, his eyes immediately widened, like a child who had received a new toy, showing his father the 'subtlety' of it.

As soon as Emperor Zhou Yuanqing heard his answer, he poked the eyebrows of the four princes again, stroked his palms and laughed:

"Yes, yes, it's rare to think of this. But you still don't have a deep understanding of Yan Chongwu's cunning! ”
