On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, a sleepless night, the originally dark city was now bursting with fires everywhere to dye the previously peaceful snow scene with an uneasy red, and Bazhou Sima Yangji stood outside the barracks and watched the fire in the city.

"Sima, how is this good!" A soldier asked, they knew that there might be an accident tonight, but they didn't expect such a big thing to happen, it is said that Yuwen envoy didn't arrange everything, how could he let people set fire.

"Order, anyone who approaches the barracks will be shot if they don't heed the warning!" Yang Ji said that his task tonight is to guard the barracks, so the first priority is what happens

Static braking is to be used, and no one should leave the barracks without a new order or signal.

Seeing the anxious look of the soldiers, Yang Ji once again reiterated military discipline: no rumors and whispers are allowed, no inquiries are allowed to inquire about the military situation, and no movement in the camp without the permission of the superiors.

This is the military discipline that was repeatedly reiterated during the rectification of the state soldiers, and it is okay according to the implementation after the rectification, but tonight is different, because it is Chinese New Year's Eve, and there seems to be a fire in the direction of the military square where the relatives of the state soldiers live.

There are old and low people in the group, thinking about the situation at home carefully, they can't help but fidget, the team leader and the team owner, these team generals are also the neighbors of the state soldiers, don't talk about it, and even they are nervous.

Although it was Chinese New Year's Eve, it was now night, so it was strictly forbidden to make noise in the barracks, and the state soldiers on duty tonight lived in the barracks, but they all had family members in the barracks, and the soldiers below were even more restless when the team general hesitated.

The seeds of uneasiness quickly took root and then spread, Yang Ji patrolled around the barracks, found that the situation was spreading, and immediately took measures to gather all the soldiers of the military camp to the school field, these soldiers were like panicked sheep, and Yang Ji led the soldiers of the new army as helpers to guard the flock of sheep in the form of sheepdogs.

Under normal circumstances, if the morale of the army is fluctuating, gathering everyone together is the best way to stimulate the camp roar, which is the so-called self-defeating. Gossip and rumors with ulterior motives, which were originally confined to the barracks, were more likely to spread. But Yang Ji wanted to do the opposite.

"Martial law is known to everyone. It is strictly forbidden to talk to each other! Yang Ji stood on the stage and said loudly, in order to prevent someone from whispering, he also lit a torch, if he turned his head to ear, it could be seen at a glance.

"There is a small disturbance in the city, just a few rats, there is no need to panic, Yuwen makes his own arrangements."

"There is a patrol organized in the military workshop, even if the thieves make trouble, they can't make trouble, and our army will be stationed in the barracks before there is no new military order!"

"All of them! Sit down! ”

"The leaders and teams of each team are standing up, and any of the dishonest teams under their jurisdiction will stop it immediately!"

"Military law repeats that there is no exchange of words. No whispering, violators of the order will be punished with intent to rebel! ”

"The crossbow hand is wound, and those who intend to rebel will be shot immediately after listening to the order of this official!"

The snow was falling all over the sky, and it was a little impersonal to gather in the snow, so Yang Ji and the 'sheepdogs' were also standing in the snow, with these murderous people staring at the same time, the audience was silent, causing the personal thoughts in their hearts to be unable to communicate with others, fermentation, so the uneasiness that had just arisen gradually eased.

Because of the previous reorganization of military affairs, the newly issued military uniforms and boots were worn on the body, even if they stayed in the open air in the snow, it was not so cold, and some people lit piles of bonfires instead of torches to light up the school grounds.

Yang Ji stood motionless with more than ten 'shepherd dogs' behind him, motionless and without saying a word, looking at the state soldiers in front of him, except for the sentries who were normally on guard outwards and the sentries swimming in the camp, the rest of the soldiers calmed down under the pressure of their bullets.

But this is also temporary, Yang Ji knows in his heart that this is not the way, so he is also waiting for the signal, there may be an accident tonight, which is expected, but it is difficult to say how far it will go. To this end, Yuwen Wen made a series of deployments, so Yang Ji would not be disturbed by the fires that were spreading everywhere in the city.

"I haven't listened to it after a few persuasions, and I look like I'm sure of everything, don't overturn the boat in the gutter," Yang Ji thought. The north wind blows through the snowflakes that roll up catkins and drift towards the south of the city......

On the outskirts of the eastern part of the city, the new army barracks were slaughtered, and the sentry on duty at night on the upper floor found that there was movement on the bank of the Ba River in the east, and when he was on guard, he saw a number of people and horses coming to the barracks, and after the sentry sounded the gong to warn, the other party began to attack tentatively, and was shot over by the crossbowmen on duty at night, and more than ten people were scattered, and they squatted outside the camp gates in several places.

"The Lu clan really made a move, it seems that the water army camp over there in Bakou has been controlled by them." Fifth Brother Chen, the military master, looked at the looming figure in the wilderness and said, he is now on the arrow tower and several generals to observe the enemy situation outside the military camp.

The dilapidated water army camp in Bazhou is located on the west bank of Bakou and the east bank of the Lu Bahe City, which is very close to each other, because during this time I was busy rectifying state affairs and had no time to take care of the water army.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is very likely that something will happen - now that something has happened, not only Tian Zongguang, the head of the Tian clan who is about to lose his son and will be extinct, some people in Xiyang City who have suffered heavy losses because they were cleared by Yuwen Envoy Jun, and the Lu clan on the east bank of this Bakou may also do it - now it is really done.

These people are the heroes and big families in Bazhou, and Bazhou is on the edge of the Yangtze River, although the fields, houses and even ancestral houses are in Bazhou, but as the saying goes, "people are in a hurry to hang their dogs and jump over the wall", if they can't stay in Bazhou, they can escape to the territory of Chen State if they cross two or three miles to the south.

"Flee to Chen? Then who will make up for their losses? "The lord Xie Liangdou was a little puzzled, these heroes can breed in the local area for hundreds of years, so they can be hard and soft, and the rudder can be regarded as a housekeeper, and Yuwen envoy Jun has not confiscated their fields and family business, can they jump over the wall in such a hurry.

Two years ago, Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, led the Zhou army to capture the six states of Jiangbei, and the Tian and Lu families in Bazhou knew each other very well.

The New Year's uprising made trouble, and afterwards the army sent by the Huangzhou Governor's Office was not something that the two of them could resist, so whether they succeeded or not, they could only flee to Jiangnan tonight, and the generals of the new army couldn't figure out why the other party was so extreme.

Yuwen envoy did not occupy your fields, rob money and grain, and the mother-in-law is a very reasonable person, why do you want to treat him like this!

Now the Lu clan sent people to attack the military camp, which is nothing more than to restrain the new army from moving, so that the big families in the city and the Tian clan in the west can join forces. What had already happened tonight had been on their guard for a long time.

"Is there a signal in the city?" Fifth Brother Chen asked. Seeing the sentry shake his head, he told him to keep an eye on it. According to the prior agreement, even if the military camp is attacked, reinforcements will not be sent to the city, so as not to move the tiger away from the mountain.

Besides, there are at least 2,000 soldiers left in the barracks, and there are camp walls and watchtowers to rely on, and since the establishment of the new army, there have been meat meals and full meals, and they have practiced for three days and one day off, so they can't beat the soldiers of the small local tyrant clan, so they can really be killed by a head.

"They must be afraid to come, maybe they have taken the wrong medicine and are so arrogant."

"Could it be that someone from the south is coming over too?"

This kind of worry is not impossible, Xiyang City of Bazhou on the bank of the north of the Yangtze River and Wuchang City of Wuchang County on the south bank of the Yangtze River are separated by a river two or three miles wide, if the local snakes collude with Chen Jun, it is not surprising, but the problem is the aftermath of the previous discussion, after all, Bazhou is in Jiangbei, with the current situation of both sides, Chen Jun will not be able to hold Xiyang City even if he takes it.

For the sake of the battle of will, ignoring the inheritance left by the ancestors, this does not look like a century-old heroic style, and now the other party is really acting like this, is there a great benefit enough to make up for the loss?

Everyone looked southwest on the arrow tower, only to see that the river was dark and misty, and nothing could be seen clearly, and now the city seemed to be lit up with fire, maybe there was a small night to muddy the water, but according to the order, before the signal was sent in the city, the new army was not allowed to leave the barracks without permission to support.

"Didn't the envoy send a fine envoy across the river to investigate? It is said that everything is business as usual. ”

"In any case, since the city has not sent a signal for us to support, then deal with this group of people surnamed Lu first, they bully the villagers to grab water on weekdays, and if they go into battle, they are rookies!"

"When the rats are in a swarm, they think they can tease the old cat? Let's see how they die! ”

"Let the soldiers get ready and see the right time to go out and assault!"

After some deliberation, the generals walked down the arrow tower to arrange their own military affairs, and Fifth Brother Chen looked back at the direction of Xiyang City, and an inexplicable worry came to his heart: "It shouldn't be a sideshow......

In Xiyang City, the Chen army who entered the city from the south gate was divided into several roads and slaughtered violently to the mansion of Shi Yuwenwen in Bazhou, and the patrols that should have existed along the road are now gone, and even the night guards of the Wanghuo Towers in each square closed the doors and windows and did not dare to say anything.

"Quick, keep up!" A general of the Chen army shouted in a low voice, in order to achieve a surprise effect, after the army entered the city, it did not delay, and under the leadership of the local responders, it went to surround the Yuwen Wen Mansion in several ways, except for the few who led the lanterns, and the rest did not light torches.

"You can do whatever you want after taking Yuwenwen. Don't make a mistake! ”

The general of the Chen army stood under an eaves on the side of the street, supervising the march of his subordinates, and after passing more than halfway through, he ran forward, and when they were far away, his head suddenly poked out from the shadow of the eaves. It was a masked man dressed in gray clinging to the corner like a gecko.

Chen Jun, who had just passed by the street, and the generals standing under the eaves did not even notice that this person was overhead, and his body twisted and was as nimble as a cat to jump on the roof, and then quietly sneaked towards a nearby courtyard.

After learning to bark three long and two short, he fell into the courtyard, and several gray-clothed masked people who had been waiting for a long time surrounded him and asked how the situation was, and the man sneered and said that Yu Wenwen was playing with fire and burning himself, and the snake in the city attracted Jiangnan Chen Jun to enter the city.

"That's a tricky one!" A masked man said, "Chen Jun was actually brought in, but now there are eggs under the nest, how can we fish out the Yang family and the little girl from the mansion?" ”

"Boss! There are many people on the other side, and no one can do it! ”

"I waited until November to come to Bazhou, and it took nearly two months without progress, if something happens to the Yang mother and daughter, how can you let Kaifu explain to the one in Chang'an!"

"Someone's coming!"

Calm returned to the courtyard, and a moment later another cat meowed, and a man tumbled into the courtyard.

"How's it going?"

"Don't be impatient, Yuwen Wen seems to be prepared." The person who came said, seeing that his companion looked unbelieving, he said with a smile: "Let's watch the show with cold eyes first!" (To be continued.) )
