That night, Zhang Yunwen was arranged to live in the Tang camp.

I took a refreshing bath, washed away the mud and exhaustion, and slept in my clothes.

On the second day, Zhang Yunwen heard the sound of the drum horn in the army, got up from the ground, quickly put on his clothes and armor, and went out to see that it was the Tang battalion dealing with a few deserters

Since Li Shimin led his army to besiege Luoyang, this is already the seventh month. In addition, he fought with Wang Shichong in Qingcheng Palace before, and the soldiers were killed and wounded. Now, the siege of Luoyang for seven consecutive months has made ** exhausted, and deserters have appeared repeatedly. Although Li Shimin governed the army strictly, he could not execute all of them, so as not to chill the morale of the army.

Compared with **, Luoyang City is even more miserable, almost ten rooms and nine empty, starving all over the wilderness. The last time Zhang Yunwen woke up, the gruel and buns that Liu Yong found were also just snatched from a large family by him and a team of sergeants. And this family is said to be related to Wang Shichong.

I don't know what happened to the two brothers. Zhang Yunwen misses this pair of brothers a little.

On the school field of the battalion, five soldiers were tied to a pillar, and a large number of non-commissioned officers were surrounded by them.

A tall lieutenant walked back and forth between the five: "Look at these people, full of cowards, cowardly as rats, greedy for life and afraid of death, it is a shame for us." And they will be bound here today for five days! ”

The lieutenant drew his sword from his waist and swung it. The shiny blades shone in the early morning sun.

"No, we're not deserters!" One of the deserters shouted hoarsely with his head bowed. The entire forehead also turned red from shouting, "We are fighting here, fighting Wang Shichong, it has been seven months, how much grain has been transported from Chang'an." Hungry for war, I admit it. But we are fighting here, and the northern Turks have also come down. Poor my mother, who was killed by the Turks. My wife, who was five months pregnant, fled to a relative's house in Mihara to send me a letter of emission. As a man, his face can't be saved by his mother, and even his wife and children are sent to the fence, is this a dignified man! When I returned to Guanzhong, I just wanted to settle my wife and kill a few more Turks to avenge my mother! ”

The other four also shouted: "We will kill the Turks to take revenge!" ”

For a moment, there was silence on the school field, and the captain slowly put down the horizontal knife in his hand.

Countless soldiers whose families are north of Guanzhong are worried about their relatives coming to their families.

Zhang Yunwen looked at the deserter, but he didn't think so. As a man, it should be, but as a soldier, it can't be like this.

Ignoring the lively mood, Zhang Yunwen came to Li Shimin's big tent. He had come to negotiate his affiliation.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the big tent, he saw two guards glaring at him and unceremoniously blocking the way with knives.

Zhang Yunwen smiled embarrassedly, he quietly entered the big tent last night, and regarded the two guards as if they were nothing, no wonder they were angry.

"I'm tired of reporting that Zhang Yunwen came to report!" Zhang Yunwen waved his hand, which made the two guards resentful a lot.

"You wait!" One person went in to report, and after a while, the man opened the curtain and said to Zhang Yunwen: "Go in!" ”

Zhang Yunwen stepped into the big tent, only to see two columns of generals sitting neatly on both sides, and the gold-armored general sitting on the top of the big tent was Li Shimin.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Qin!" Zhang Yunwen bowed.

"Yunwen, you're here! Come, let me introduce you to the generals who are here! Li Shimin got up, took Zhang Yunwen's hand, and introduced the generals present to him one by one.

On this expedition to Luoyang, Li Shimin brought the main force of Li Tang, with a total of 50,000 foot riders. Among them, there were more than 20 generals, including enemy generals who surrendered during the war.

"This is Qu Tutong, this is Qiu Xinggong, this is Guo Xiaoke......"

A personal name came out of Li Shimin's mouth, if it weren't for Zhang Yunwen's previous life in the Soviet special forces to learn quick memory, he really couldn't remember so many names.

are all famous generals, Zhang Yunwen was excited. Although in the early Tang Dynasty, the generals first recommended Li Jing, but now these generals present are not trivial. If Qu Tutong is passed, he is a fierce general during the great cause of the Sui Dynasty. Guo Xiaoke, who later served as the protector of Anxi, was in charge of the Western Regions.

However, the generals had no good impression of Zhang Yunwen, who had entered the Tang camp late at night and wanted to do that assassination, and looked at Zhang Yunwen's eyes and was also full of disdain. However, because of Li Shimin's hand-holding introduction, he had to show a reluctant smile.

"Gentlemen, don't underestimate Yunwen!" Seeing the expressions of the generals, Li Shimin couldn't help but remind, "If you talk about assassination and reconnaissance, no one present can match Yunwen!" ”

"Assassination, but the villain's business, it's hard to be elegant!" Said one of the generals.

Zhang Yunwen looked at the person, but it was Qiu Xinggong, the person he met last night.

"Then dare to ask General Qiu, how can there be a distinction between a big and a villain in the matter of war? The so-called 'all those who fight, with the right combination, with the odd victory', the generals led the troops to fight against each other, taking a 'positive' word, and the soldiers led by the boy, what they did, but took a 'strange' word. Only when the odds complement each other can we achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost. Zhang Yunwen glanced at Qiu Xinggong and said.

Qiu Xinggong snorted coldly and stood up: "What you just said is 'win with righteousness and victory', then I don't know if your kung fu is good, can you afford this 'strange' word?" If the surprise attack fails and is killed, it will become a laughing stock for the ages! ”

The implication is to try Zhang Yunwen's skills.

The generals present looked at each other, as if they hadn't heard Qiu Xinggong's words, and no one came out to stop Qiu Xinggong's provocative move.

Li Shimin was about to speak, but suddenly remembered something, and turned his head and didn't look at the two.

After observing the performance of everyone in the field, Zhang Yunwen knew that this battle was inevitable. If you win this Qiu Xinggong, you will inevitably reduce the hostility of the generals, and even get the appreciation of some people; If he loses, I'm afraid that Li Shimin will not be able to protect himself anymore, and he will have no face to mix in the **.

"It turns out that General Qiu wants to try his skills. That's not easy! The kid is only fifteen years old, and General Qiu has been riding horses for half his life, and he is in the prime of life, so the kid is probably not an opponent! ”

"That's easy, if you can stick to a hundred moves in the hands of this general, even if you win. I heard you talk about the need for manpower to train that reconnaissance unit last night, and if you win, the general will give you the elite soldiers in your hands! ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhang Yunwen immediately high-fived and made an appointment with Qiu Xinggong.

The generals and Zhang Yunwen came to the outside of the big tent. On the school grounds, the five soldiers were still tied up and roasted in the sun. Seeing a group of generals come out, the soldiers who had been watching the five people looked at these generals one after another.

Scattered in all directions, leaving a clearing in the middle.

On the clearing, Qiu Xinggong, who was dressed in an earthy yellow cloak, threw the cloak on his back, took off the iron armor, opened the formation, and looked at Zhang Yunwen.

Zhang Yunwen was dressed in ochre armor, and when he saw Qiu Xinggong take off his armor, he also took off his leather armor.

"Hey, boy, Lao Qiu is very powerful, even if you put on leather armor and fight him, we won't feel unfair! You better put it on! Zhang Yunwen looked at the person who spoke, but it was Qin Qiong, a yellow-faced man, and nodded to him to express his gratitude. But he did not put on leather armor as he said.

"Hey, boy, are you ready?" Qiu Xinggong saw Zhang Yunwen stretching his limbs as much as he could, and couldn't help asking.

"That's it!" Zhang Yunwen shook his limbs, and suddenly made a "crackling" sound.
