The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

He was greeted by Qin Yujing, the defender of Bishan County, who sent all the 8,000 troops of Bishan to Longshui Town, and waited for the 30,000 reinforcements transferred by An Xianggong, and immediately went north to attack Meng Hui's army.

30,000 against 30,000, the outcome is unknown.

Jiangjin in the south of Yongchuan City, the forbidden army gathered, just waiting for the deployment of troops in place, they will go all out to counterattack Yongchuan and recapture this important town, and the forbidden army is currently in an advantage on the Yongchuan front.

The forbidden army stationed in Longshui Town faced the imposing Li Pingyang Department and was at a disadvantage.

With the transfer of reinforcements from the Western Army to the Yuzhou defense line, and after determining that reinforcements would arrive in Changzhou City in a few days, Li Pingyang led the army to continue southward, intending to attack Yuzhou City after taking Bishan.

Longshui Town will inevitably fight.

In the early morning, the sun is shining, spring is in full swing, and the breeze and the scent of new green are everywhere.

In the military camp of Longshui Town, Li Ruyu stood first, the long sword at his waist was taken off, and he was on the ground in front of him, his hands were pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the morning breeze blew his long hair, which was very sassy and sassy of a general.

Xiahou Chi and Hua Xiaodao are one left and one right.

On the huge school field in front of them, 3,000 people were lined up in three formations, and in front of the formation, there were generals who commanded the team.

It's just that these 3,000 people are different.

Except for the 1,000 people behind Xu Xiao who were high-spirited and had distinct armor, the rest of the 2,000 people were much better than the previous two days, but they could still feel the decadence emanating from them.

Li Ruyu didn't know what method Xu Xiao used to revive the morale of those thousand people.

There is no time to learn Xu Xiao.

The scouts came back with the news that Li Pingyang led the army out of Changzhou City, and the 3,000 defeated soldiers in Longshui Town and the 8,000 reinforcements who were about to arrive must send troops to cross the Shiting River as soon as possible and take the initiative to attack.

hit Li Pingyang off guard.

In half an hour at most, 8,000 reinforcements will enter Longshui Town.

Half a day later than scheduled.

Li Ruyu took a heavy deep breath, took a long breath, and then shouted loudly: "My name is Li Ruyu, you may not have heard of my name, but it doesn't matter, you just need to know one thing, from today on, you three thousand, and the eight thousand people who are about to arrive, are all under the command of my Li Ruyu's military order!" ”

No one spoke.

Li Ruyu didn't need them to speak.

"Before the robe of Bishan County comes, I want you to take a look, look at yourself, and then look at the robe next to you, give me a serious look!" After Li Ruyu said this, he paused for a long time.

Everyone was inexplicable, constantly looking at themselves, and constantly looking at the robes around them, all of them were confused.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Li Ruyu sneered, "Didn't you find anything wrong?" ”

"It's right if you don't find anything wrong."

"This is what you look like now, this is what the defeated army should look like, what the defeated army should look like, it will be mercilessly ridiculed by the robes who come to reinforce it, not what the Great Liang Forbidden Army should look like."

Li Ruyu didn't speak seriously, but tried his best to let everyone hear.

But you can feel his anger.

Someone is not happy anymore.

Behind Xu Xiao, several people shouted: "General Li, I haven't lost my face, I haven't lost my face, I haven't lost your face, I haven't lost your face, and I haven't lost the face of the Daliang Forbidden Army, don't kill everyone with one rod!" ”

Xu Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth, but didn't stop it.

Li Ruyu was choked suddenly, and helplessly looked at the 1,000 soldiers with bright armor and rejuvenated spirit, and said with a dark face: "I didn't say you, shut up for me." ”

The group of men was happy.

But the faces of the remaining two thousand people are not good-looking, doesn't this make it clear that we are, but after looking up and down at their armor and sword, and then at the thousand people behind Xu Xiao, and then looking around, many people quietly lowered their heads.

I want to drill through the cracks.

There is no harm without comparison, and compared to those thousand people, I am like a beggar.

Li Ruyu was secretly happy in his heart when he saw this, snorted coldly a few times, and continued to suppress the emotions of these defeated soldiers, "Now I know that I am ashamed, now I know that I am embarrassed, as a big man, my self-esteem has been hurt?" ”

Li Ruyu knew that this attack must arouse the shame of the defeated soldiers, so that they would be ashamed and brave, so he continued while the iron was hot: "I don't blame you, everyone has unbearable fear. However, the defeat of Changzhou, this is a fact that no one can change, as a soldier, you may not be held accountable, and when this war ends, Xiahou Chi and Hua Xiaodao may be demoted and exiled or even beheaded in front of the army, you can not care, don't care, because it is not you who died. ”

Xiahou Chi and Hua Xiaodao, who were on the left and right, looked sad, and what Li Ruyu said was indeed right.

If they can't make meritorious contributions in the future, when the war in Yuzhou ends, they are really likely to be demoted and exiled, and if An Xianggong is stricter, it is possible to be beheaded.

Li Ruyu paused for a moment, began to stir his blood, and continued: "If the Western Army goes south with a great victory and ravages the mountains and rivers and tramples on your homeland, how can you tell your wives and children when they face the Western Army's front? You will tell them, wife and son, it's not that my father is useless, it's that the Western Army is too powerful, and my father is a rout? You're going to tell them that they can't beat us anyway, so let them wreak havoc on our homes...... Will you! ”

Someone quietly raised his head.

Li Ruyu sneered and pointed to the south with his finger: "You are the most elite forbidden army in Daliang, the first barrier of the homeland behind you, and the guardian of the prosperity created by Her Majesty the Empress to enjoy your relatives." ”

"You can die standing up."

"But you must not retreat on your knees, because behind you is your homeland, your wife, children, and parents."

"It's not shameful to lose once, after all, not everyone can be like Yue Pingchuan, who has never lost a battle in his life, and it's a shame that after losing once, you lose the strength you should have as a man! You can choose, choose to continue to go to the battlefield with fear in this way, and then be killed by Li Pingyang again, and return to your homeland to guard your wife and children and wait for the Western Army to trample your homeland, you can also choose, choose to use the sword in your hand——"

Li Ruyu took a deep breath.

"Tell the Western Army that there are no weak soldiers in the Great Liang Forbidden Army."

"Tell the world that the policy of heaven is to determine the world."

"Use the big sword in your hands to beat Li Pingyang to cry, tell that little girl, tell her a word: Lao Tzu is still a man!"

"You're still not a man?"

"Say!"

These words are not impassioned, they are simply reasonable, but every sentence is like an arrow, stuck in the hearts of the three thousand defeated soldiers, deafening.

The thousand soldiers behind Xu Xiao became more and more high-spirited.

The other two thousand soldiers, who were all lowered by Li Ruyu's words, with Li Ruyu's last words, countless people raised their heads, and after their emotions were extremely suppressed by Li Ruyu, under this provocative sentence, they finally broke out.

Like a volcanic eruption, scorching the spring breeze.

The three thousand people all looked up, and their eyes flashed with pride that they had never felt before, because they were proud of being the Western Army, flashing with strength, shame and courage.

Three thousand people shouted with the greatest strength: "Yes! ”

Blood boil.

Its sound is like thunder, and the clouds are rolling.

Its blood is like fire, and its heart is scorching.

Its momentum is like a rainbow, and it is vast and sky-high.

Li Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "When you go out of the army today, you will be the vanguard, use the swords in your hands, and use your blood to wash away the shame you left in Changzhou!" ”

"Maybe you don't believe that we can break Li Pingyang, but I, Li Ruyu, tell you, nothing is impossible, who can kill Zhao Li, the former king of the Great Liang Qian?"

"I, Li Ruyu, killed him."

"A thousand old soldiers from Guanyucheng went south, and they wanted to break through the repeated pursuit and interception of the northern army of Zhenbei, and I, Li Ruyu, also did it."

"This time to recapture Changzhou City, I, Li Ruyu, still have to do it!"

After a pause, "Half an hour, I will only give you half an hour, I don't want to see anyone wearing ragged armor again, I don't want to see the slightest damage on any of the flags, I don't want to see any smudges on anyone's face and body, because you are the most elite forbidden army in the Great Liang world, and you are the Tiance army that determines the world!" ”

Li Ruyu waved his hand, "Gather in half an hour." ”

With Li Ruyu's order, the crowd dispersed like ants, and everyone ran quickly to their camp, they only wanted to do one thing now, wash their armor, wipe their swords, and sew flags.

Then beat Li Pingyang, that little girl!

Only the 1,000 people behind Xu Xiao remained motionless, and what Li Ruyu requested, they did it the night before.

Among the running defeated soldiers, a burly man with a saber suddenly stopped, then turned to look at Li Ruyu, and said with some pleasure: "General Li, can you ask a word?" ”

Li Ruyu snorted, "Ask." ”

The man laughed: "General Li, are you a man?" ”

The word "man" originally referred to a man, a manly man, and mostly referred to a married man.

This question made Li Ruyu suddenly have a black line on his face.

"What's your name?"

The man smiled, pressed the long knife on his waist, and looked heroic, "My name is Zhuo Zongtang, Zhuo is the outstanding Zhuo, the sect is the clan of the clan, and the Tang is the Tang of the begonia." ”

Begonias of the Zhuo family.

It's a good name.

Li Ruyu laughed, laughed heroically and roughly, and said loudly: "It's a good name, and then I'll answer your question: Am I a man, you are a defeated soldier, you are not qualified to know, if you want to know, kill enough of the head of the Western Army and ask again." Now, you can roll Lao Tzu. ”

The man named Zhuo Zongtang laughed happily, "Today's waist is not straight, I don't dare to fight with General Li, I'll get out first." When I have killed enough of the enemy's heads and my waist is straight, if General Li tells me to get out again, then I will not accept it. ”

Immediately made up the knife: "I'm a decent man, pure." ”

Li Ruyu sighed, and waved his hand without anger or confidence - he is indeed not a man.

This one named Zhuo Zongtang is a little crazy.

However, this is the elite soldier he wants to see, not a defeated soldier who is lifeless and full of fear in his heart.

No one cares about Zhuo Zongtang's arrogance.

Xiahou Chi and Hua Xiaodao, looking at this scene, couldn't react, that's it?

The two thousand defeated soldiers who were originally lifeless, this rekindled the will to fight?

I have been talking bitterly for so many days, and in the end, my feelings are not as good as the effect of Li Ruyu just saying something so casually, it is really more popular than a person, no wonder Junziqi is so favored by Li Ruyu.

And I feel that the words Li Ruyu said are not very impassioned or impassioned, let alone the promise of fame and fortune, why did those defeated soldiers get as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood?

Only Xu Xiao saw the essence.

Li Ruyu's words are indeed simple, but they get to the point of one thing: homeland, homeland and dignity.

Men, what they care about most is actually as simple as that.

Those righteousness of the family and the country, those lofty truths, not everyone can listen to them, such people are a minority in the world after all, and these few people are the so-called heroes.

But there are more ordinary men in the world, they only care about whether their homeland is peaceful, whether their homeland is happy and complete, and whether their dignity will be trampled on.

In fact, these are the three things they want to protect.

Xu Xiao somewhat admired the young Li Ruyu who was not yet a man - well, it should be the young Li Ruyu.

As for understanding why the gentleman's banner is willing to submit to him.

Li Ruyu has the spirit of a hero.

A soldier hurriedly came to report that the reinforcements had arrived outside Longshui Town, and asked Li Ruyu to go and receive them.

Li Ruyu waved his hand and asked Xu Xiao to be in charge of the assembly and formation of the three thousand defeated soldiers after half an hour, and then took Xiahou Chi and Hua Xiaodao to the south of Longshui Town to receive the eight thousand reinforcements.

After seeing the leader of the 8,000 reinforcements, Li Ruyu finally knew why the reinforcements were coming a little slowly.

Leading these 8,000 people to Longshui Town to support was the deputy of Qin Yujing, the former defender of Bishan County, the royal family of the Daliang Zhao family, and the kind of royal descendant who was not very biased, was the eldest son of Zhao Lin, the youngest son of Zhao Fangde, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, who served in the Guozi Prison.

Zhao Kuo, the county prince.

Zhao Kuo, the eldest son of Zhao Lin, after the empress ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the Zhao clan, he gave this guy a county duke, and then Zhao Kuo Zuyin entered the office, successively served in the secretary province and the Hanlin Academy, and then transferred to the Privy Council.

Of course, the guerrilla generals are recent.

As the news that the empress wanted to succeed Zhao Lin's youngest son Zhao Zhen as her son spread all over the world, the empress no longer hid it, and took advantage of this war to simply reward the children of the Zhao family who were in the line of Zhao Fangde.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Kuo rose to become a guerrilla general.

And Zhao Kuo at this moment is only eighteen years old.

The eighteen-year-old young man is also a relative of the Zhao family, and his younger brother will be the prince of Daliang in the future.

When he was in Bishan County, when Zhao Kuo was positioned as Bai Yujing's deputy by An Xianggong, this guy was already very dissatisfied, and now he finally led 8,000 people alone, but he wants to become Li Ruyu's subordinate, can he be happy?

This guy has a thought now: Why didn't Li Ruyu die?

As long as Li Ruyu is dead, the army will be commanded by himself for more than 10,000 days, and when the time comes, if he surprises his troops and defeats Li Pingyang with fewer victories and more victories, what a brilliant record it should be.

With such military merits, in the future, the younger brother will become the prince or ascend the throne as the emperor, and it will not be easy to play as a privy envoy himself?

As for whether he can defeat Li Pingyang, Zhao Kuo feels that this is a very idiotic question, not to mention that he has read military books, he is familiar with ancient and modern battle examples, he is well versed in the famous tactics of ancient and modern famous generals, and he has a complete set of strategies and tactics in his chest.

Even Lu Xiangsheng lost to himself once.

Even Di Xianggong once said that my Zhao Kuo's tactical talent is enough to reach half of the Privy Council!

Not to mention, just saying that Li Pingyang is a little girl, it is just a surprise sneak attack on Changzhou that succeeds, besides, Xiahou Chi's goods are a scum in Guanyu City, and it is reasonable to lose to the Western Army.

After all, not every female general is a Northern Barbarian Pear Flower.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo deliberately slowed down the speed of the march, just like when he arrived at Longshui Town, Li Pingyang had already called, and Li Ruyu was also dead in Longshui Town, and he just happened to take advantage of the fisherman.

However, he still saw Li Ruyu's face that was a little mean and annoying at first sight.

Very unpleasant!
