On the fifth day of Yu Chengfeng's reign in the army, Yu Chengfeng put on his new and dazzling armor early in the morning and ordered people to beat drums and gather generals.

Yu Dashuai sat majestically behind the handsome case, and after all the generals arrived, one by one, he spoke: "Our army has been resting for many days, and there is no time for me, and the thieves are still eyeing our army, and there is the ardent expectation of the saint and the desire of the people behind him. The commander ordered that from now on, our army will be divided into three ways to launch a frontal attack on the thieves, exterminate the bandits, and prosper in the middle of the Great Qi! ……”。

Before the words fell, General Yan took two steps forward and shook his beard and said eagerly: "Commander Yu, is it too hasty to send troops to attack today?" ……”。

Yu Chengfeng waved his hand with a straight face: "The Overseer doesn't need to say much, Ben Shuai has made up his mind!" General Qiu Shengrong and General Qiu are out of the ranks, and this marshal has appointed you as my vanguard in the middle, commanding 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Chinese army of Great Chu and capture the Emperor of Great Chu alive, are you willing to take the order? ”。

Qiu Shengrong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and replied loudly: "The last general is ordered, I am willing to fight to the death with my soldiers, and I will not return if I don't break the thief's oath!" ”。

Yu Chengfeng praised the case: "Very good, this is the heroic spirit that the soldiers of my new army should have!" ”。

He turned his head and said: "General Sun listens to the order, and this commander orders you to command 50,000 soldiers and horses, and mainly attack the Ma family army and thieves on the left road, do you dare to take it?" ”。

The General Sun hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but he raised his head but did not answer, but looked at General Yan hesitantly.

After a while, he turned his head and whispered: "Commander, kill the thief and make meritorious contributions, and the end will never give up." It's just that the marshal can consult with General Yan and other generals before giving orders? ”。

Yu Chengfeng's face suddenly turned pale, and he suddenly slapped the case, shouting: "Come on, take this person down for me!" ”。

Before the words fell, more than a dozen soldiers rushed up, and without saying a word, they pressed the pale and frightened General Sun to the ground.

All the generals were shocked, and they didn't understand what was going on, why this Yu Dashuai turned his face faster than he turned the book.

The general Sun shouted loudly while struggling desperately: "Yu Dashuai, what do you mean by this? ”。

Yu Chengfeng's face sank like water, and with a "snap", he slapped a delicate sword on the table, looked around at the generals and said: "Before leaving Beijing, the saint gave the sword of the handsome Shang Fang, and the soldiers who are afraid of the enemy and disobey the military order have the right to cut first and then play!" ”。

He gasped for a moment, then waved his hand resolutely: "Take off your armor for General Sun, tie it up and behead it to show the public!" ”。

General Sun sweated like rain, and hurriedly defended himself in a loud voice: "Marshal Yu, the last general will never dare to disobey the military order. It's just that in the first few battles, our army was unfavorable, the morale of the soldiers was not high, and the chances of winning were not great in a hurry, so I had the courage to admonish the marshal! This is also for my army, for my great qi! ”。

Yu Chengfeng waved his hand with a dark face: "Shut up!" It is clear that you are afraid of the enemy and cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, and you dare to quibble?! Needless to say, drag him out and behead him! ”。

Old General Yan, who was standing in the front row, sighed slightly, and knelt down with the other generals, clasped his fists and saluted: "Great commander, the enemy is at present, and it is really an ominous move to kill your own generals before the big war starts." What's more, General Sun has followed our army since he fought the battle to defend the capital, and he has been born and died, and has made many military exploits. I implore the big handsome to open up and allow him to make meritorious contributions! ”。

Yu Chengfeng took a step forward, straightened his waist and said: "The old general and the generals, please get up, we still need to work together to exterminate the thieves and bandits, and we will unite as one!" However, there is no joke in the army. When General Yan was the commander of the three armies, he tried his best to override public opinion, and he was famous all over the world for his strict management of the army. You don't have to intercede for General Sun anymore, Ben Shuai will kill him today! ”。

The generals stared at each other with wide eyes, but none of them could speak.

Old General Yan knelt on the ground and was silent for a long time, but did not get up. He bowed his hand again and said: "Since the commander has made up his mind, the last general is willing to take the initiative to ask for help, personally lead all the way to attack the thieves, bow to the end, and die!" ”。

Yu Chengfeng lowered his eyes, glanced at General Yan a few times from the corner of his eye, and said with a smile: "The old general is serious. The general is old and has not recovered from his injuries, not to mention the slaughtering knife used to kill chickens? The old general should stay with Ben Shuai and wait for the good news of the soldiers ahead. ”

The sun was shining, and on the high flagpole, the bloody head of General Sun was hung.

Under the flagpole, the Daqi soldiers dressed in Xuanjia and ready to go were in a roar, and for a time the flags fluttered, people shouted and neighed, and the new army of the Great Qi Protectorate launched a new round of attacks on the Great Chu coalition army.

Ten days after the army set out, good news came back from the front: the three roads of the Protector Army marched together, and they won successive battles.

Among them, the good news sent back by the pioneer officer Qiu Sheng Rongqiu and General Qiu in the middle lane was the most encouraging.

General Qiu said in the report: The 50,000 troops in the middle of our road have won three battles and three victories, and have captured countless swords, guns, and horses left behind by the fleeing thieves. The thieves led by Liu Qian, the puppet emperor of Great Chu, fled from the wind, and have now retreated to the front line of Xiaoshan in a vain attempt to resist stubbornly. Capture the thief and capture the king first, and implore the commander to dispatch men and horses to gather at the foot of Xiaoshan Mountain and annihilate the main force of the thieves in one fell swoop.

Putting down the good news, in the face of such a good situation, Yu Dashuai stretched his brows, smiled, and was extremely happy.

He immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet and quickly invited General Yan to come, and he wanted to have a drink with him.

After General Yan arrived, in the face of good news, the deeply locked brows were not stretched, but locked tighter.

Yu Chengfeng, who was very interested and ruddy-faced, put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "Overseer, why are you sullen when our army is victorious?" ”。

Old General Yan raised his hand and stroked the heavy silver beard under his chin and asked, "Great Marshal, didn't you realize that this might be a trick of thieves to lure the enemy?" ”。

Yu Chengfeng was slightly stunned, put down the wine glass in his hand, and lowered his head to ponder for a moment. Then he looked up at General Yan's eyes, and suddenly laughed heartily: "The overseer is too worried, the thieves are already a plate of scattered sand, fighting for each other, and deceiving and luring the enemy?" Hahaha, you can figure it out! ”。

After filling the glass and drinking it again, put the glass down. Yu Chengfeng put away his smile, held his breath, stared at General Yan for a while, and sighed slightly: "Shibo, I should first toast you with a glass of wine to make amends, and kill the general Liwei, I don't plan to hide it from you." If this is not the case, I will not be able to really control the army, and it is also for the sake of the great Qi society, so I have to do it as a last resort. ”

Old General Yan lowered his head slightly, shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

Yu Chengfeng stretched, stood up and continued: "This is the second, with all due respect, the little nephew said bluntly: you are old, too conservative, cautious, and resting on your laurels. lacks the pride and sharpness that a military general should have, which is why you are not good at the division and my little nephew is victorious! ”。

Old General Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head, and still shook his head slightly and smiled without saying a word.

Yu Chengfeng suddenly felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart, and he waved his hand lightly and said, "You keep drinking, I'm going to go back and draft a good news for the saint." You and I are both human ministers, and it is incumbent on us to share our worries for the saints! In fact, in my heart, I am still very grateful and admired for you, and you have worked hard to create such an iron-blooded king division and support half of my Daqi. It's a pity, you are really as the ministers said: old and stupid are useless! ”。

After speaking, he gave a deep swipe to General Yan, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Old General Yan lowered his head again, stretched out his thin fingers, filled himself with a glass of wine, held it and put it to his lips, and after sighing softly, two lines of turbid tears were silently left in the corners of his wrinkled eyes.

At the foot of Xiao Mountain, the banner is hunting, and the corpses are everywhere.

From a distance, I saw the red "Guan" character under the handsome flag, majestic riding on horseback, silver helmet and silver armor of the Great Chu Dingbei King Guan Yu, General Qiu Shengrong Qiu hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked a few steps, and bowed forward.

"I've seen the North Lord below." In General Qiu's heart, he had both some admiration and a little fear of this "thief general" who had captured him.

Guan Yu turned over and dismounted with a smile, stretched out his hands to clasp each other, and said: "General Qiu doesn't need to be polite, my imperial brother has already set up a banquet, and he is specially ordered to come down to greet General Qiu." ”

General Qiu Shengrong's face turned red, and he waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

Guan Yu said: "General Qiu's words are outward, and he will be his own brother in the future." It is rare that General Qiu understands the righteousness, and these two secret reports are also very accurate and timely, and this time he personally led 50,000 troops into our ambush circle, which is a great gift for us, and the contribution is indispensable! ”。

Qiu Shengrong grinned hard, but he couldn't smile on his face. Although the northern prince in front of him praised and praised him, no matter how he sounded, it seemed so awkward, more like he was pointing at his nose and scolding.

Entering the big tent, Qiu Shengrong suddenly felt much more comfortable in his heart, and the warm atmosphere came to his face. Liu Qian, the emperor of Great Chu, got up and left his seat to greet him with a smile on his face.

Qiu Shengrong was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

Liu Qian hurriedly laughed and stretched out a pair of warm and powerful hands to help him up. Of course, this seemingly inadvertent support was just right after General Qiu finished his big gift.

General Qiu Shengrong had the courage to sneak a glance at the new owner, and the two thick broom eyebrows left a deep impression on him.

After everyone was seated, the banquet began.

General Qiu Shengrong Qiu was still a little restrained, and his heart was also uneasy. On either side of him sat the Great Chu Dynasty, Dazai, Shi Tiangong, and Dingbei King Guan Yu. Shi Dazai seemed to sense his uneasiness, and whispered in his ear: "The general does not need to be restrained, my imperial brother is generous, benevolent, and approachable, and you brothers are also heart-to-heart, you will naturally understand after a long time." ”

At this time, Liu Qian, the emperor of Great Chu, stood up and raised his glass and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is not only a celebration banquet but also a reception banquet. I specially named him as my Great Chu Suzaku General, and after I set the capital in the coming day, I will have a place for you among the five tiger generals who made great contributions to the founding of the Great Chu! ……”。

General Qiu Shengrong Qiu was flattered, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Guan Yu, the king of Dingbei beside him, couldn't help but whisper with a wine glass: "General Qiu, you drank too fast, my imperial brother hasn't spoken yet, let everyone get up and drink the wine together." ”

General Qiu Shengrong was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, holding the empty cup in his hand, and he looked even more helpless.
