Although the Spring Festival is coming, the Jiangnan region is still full of war.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, people from other places are reuniting as a family and eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

In Jiangsu, Sun Dingzong, the governor of Liangjiang, was rushing to the city of Suzhou with his men and horses at night.

"Inform the brothers to hurry up, be sure to take Suzhou City before dawn, and then the official will personally cook dumplings for you to eat!"

Although Sun Dingzong was born in a noble family, he did not have the slightest shelf.

If there was still a little bit of a shelf, after enlisting in the army, it was completely wiped out.

He has been in the army for more than 20 years, and Sun Dingzong has long forgotten his previous habits.

often drank wine in large bowls and ate meat, and his voice was much louder than before.

Another point is that after Sun Dingzong joined the army, whenever he encountered a victory, he would personally cook and cook a 'sumptuous' meal for his soldiers.

What's more, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and naturally it is no exception.

On the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Sun Dingzong received a secret report from Jinyiwei.

It turned out that there were several gentry families in Suzhou City, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they had the intention of returning to the imperial court.

Through the contact of the secret agents of Jinyiwei, they finally persuaded these families to open the gate of Suzhou City on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve and welcome Wang Shi into the city.

Therefore, Sun Dingzong did not even eat a bite of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and couldn't wait to rush to Suzhou.

In this regard, the soldiers below naturally complained.

After all, in the barracks, the wine and food have been prepared, and more than ten fat pigs have been slaughtered, just waiting to be cooked.

But at this time, the governor of his own country suddenly issued an order to march to Suzhou City, and it was impossible for the soldiers to have no resentment in their hearts.

But fortunately, Sun Dingzong's words completely crushed the soldiers' complaints.

"Alas, have you heard, Lord Governor said that if we can successfully take Suzhou City tonight, Lord Governor will personally cook for us for Chinese New Year's Eve!"

"Are you kidding? What is the status of the Governor? Will you cook for us these 'Qiu Ba' practices? "Obviously, some people don't believe that Sun Dingzong will cook for them.

"I say to you, don't believe you. When I was in Dingxiang, I served under the command of the Governor, and whenever I met a victory, the Governor would definitely cook a sumptuous meal for us. ”

"Really?" There are still people who don't believe it, "Why haven't I heard about it?" ”

"That's your loneliness!" The man who spoke pouted and said, "Go and ask those brothers from Dingxiang, who hasn't eaten the food cooked by the Governor?" ”

When this man said this, the people believed seven or eight times out of ten.

But then a word from the top boss made them completely believe this statement.

I saw a lieutenant rushing over from the rear, coming to his team, and shouting: "Brothers, just now the Governor said that as long as we can take Suzhou City before dawn, the Governor will personally cook a sumptuous meal for us!" ”

"It's true!"

"Actually, I believed it a long time ago!"

The lieutenant shouted, "Brothers, do you want to eat the food cooked by the Governor's own hands?" ”

"Yes!"

"I've thought about it for a long time!"

The tsunami sound comes to mind.

"If you want to, then speed up the pace and hurry, and strive to take Suzhou before dawn, and it will be a hot meal!" The lieutenant smiled lightly and said loudly.

"Brothers, the food cooked by the Governor is not so delicious! The Governor said that his meal was for the bravest soldiers.

The Governor told the official that the first group of people to climb the city wall of Suzhou was eligible to enjoy the food cooked by his old man!

Brothers, which is the bravest army in the whole of Jiangnan? ”

"Naturally, it's us!" The soldiers below shouted loudly, and their voices were very enthusiastic.

"Brothers, do you have the confidence to be the first to climb the walls of Suzhou City?"

"Yes!" The sound of the mountain whirring came again, and the captain's ears were 'buzzing'.

Seeing this, the captain nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Since this is the case, then the brothers should hurry up and hurry, and we will strive to become the first team to reach the city of Suzhou!" ”

As he spoke, as soon as the captain raised his horsewhip, the soldiers below couldn't help but speed up a little, as if they had inexhaustible strength......

However, at the back of the team, hearing the sound of mountains and tsunamis in his ears, Sun Dingzong's mood was not so optimistic, on the contrary, he was a little sad.

Because Sun Dingzong understood that the enthusiasm of the soldiers at this moment would turn into a tragedy on the battlefield in a few hours.

Sun Dingzong has encountered such a scene countless times.

Each time, the soldiers would take the unhesitating steps to charge at the enemy.

Each time, many soldiers perished with the enemy.

It is an extremely positive word for the general to mingle with the soldiers below, or to share the weal and woe with the soldiers.

But behind the praise, it is often the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of the generals.

Because the generals did this, the soldiers often died for them.

is like Wu Qi during the Warring States Period, sharing weal and sorrow with the soldiers, and even sucking sores for the soldiers.

But every time such a situation was encountered, the parents of the soldiers would cry.

Why?

Because they knew that as long as Wu Qi did this, his son would definitely fight to the death on the battlefield.

Often, too, their sons do not survive!

Sun Dingzong did this, and Wu Qi had the same trick.

Because Sun Ding always understood that every time he said that he would cook for them personally, the soldiers did not hesitate to fight and did not hesitate......

This has happened not once or twice, but many times.

But mercy is not in charge of the army.

Sun Dingzong was only sad for a while, and he didn't even leave a crocodile tear, so he packed up his mood and continued to lead the team to Suzhou City......

In the city of Suzhou, the local gentry came to the barracks early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, pulling carts of wine and meat.

Although the war is now tight, and it can even be said that the defeat is decided, the gentry group still fantasizes about being able to redeem the defeat.

Or rather, they are not willing to fail.

How to salvage the defeat?

They haven't thought of a way yet, but they understand that their morale can't be vented anymore.

If not, I am afraid that before the imperial army arrives in the city, these Qiu Ba will turn against each other.

Therefore, the gentry group began to actively win over the soldiers below.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, wine and meat are naturally indispensable.

But what is more attractive than wine and meat is naturally silver with white flowers......
