"Great handsome......" Shi Zhong looked at his general, his eyes full of confusion. The old rivers and lakes who have been in the mix for a little longer know that the so-called green forest morality is a blessing and a curse, and it is all a thing to fool the raw melons and eggs that have just entered the industry. The rules of the real green forest are cheap, I will go first, and you will do your best. Who knows what kind of confusion his own general made today, and he actually had to be a filial son and loyal minister for Dou Jiande?

"Don't be verbose, go pack up the team!" Shi Zan glanced at him and ordered in a deep voice. Then he sighed and pushed his shoulder, "Even if Lao Dou is gone, this place in Hebei will not be able to make it our master's turn." Go, Lao Dou, although it's not very interesting, but if you change someone else, our master's situation may not be as good as it is now! ”

What Shi Chong wanted to mention just now was to abandon Dou Jiande's suggestion to take the opportunity to replace him. Hearing Shi Zan say this, he knew that his general had made up his mind, so he grinned bitterly and went to carry out the order. Looking at his back and leaving, Shi Zan took a deep breath of the cold evening breeze, turned it into a full of helplessness, and spewed out: "He, *** Lao Tzu, is also a general now!" When you see the hard stubble, you run, how to mix on the road in the future! Someone came to Lao Tzu and gave Chai Shao a war letter, saying that Lao Tzu would not sneak attack him tonight, so that he could rest assured and boldly build a bridge. Tomorrow morning, Lao Tzu will fight him to the death on this side of the river! ”

"It's handsome!" Shi Zhan's personal guards were Zhang Chu stepped forward to receive the order and turned away. He couldn't guess what the big marshal was thinking today. But Zhang Chu himself fully agreed with the other party's last few words: "Lao Tzu is also a general, and when he sees hard stubble, he runs away, how can he mix on the road in the future?" ’

Through the mouth of the soldiers who were building a temporary pontoon bridge, Shi Zhan's challenge quickly reached Chai Shao's ears. The latter was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and laughed: "I'm scared to play this game with Lao Tzu, I'm really blinded by lard." Tell the brethren to continue to build bridges when it is time to build bridges, and continue to sleep when it is time to sleep. Tomorrow morning, General Ben will take them to cut off the enemy's head! ”

The generals in the tent laughed loudly, and the thieves on the other side of the road were beyond their means. Chai Shao thought about it for a while, nodded his hand, and called Chen Liangcheng, the general of Dingyuan, who had just been promoted by himself, and ordered in a low voice: "The errand of the guard tonight will be for you and the cavalry under your command." Don't expect thieves to believe their word! ”

"Subordinates obey!" Chen Liangcheng hugged his fists and gave a salute, and his heart was full of gratitude to Chai Shao. It has already turned out that on the narrow bridge deck, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is difficult to wield completely. Those who rushed forward were only slaughtered. And the errand of patrolling back and forth on the river beach to stand guard for the army was not at risk of death. And those cavalry brothers under his command who have just suffered a major blow can also take the opportunity to recover their strength and morale.

"Let's all go down and rest, it's already time, what if you let the thief live one more night?" Chai Shao waved his hand tiredly and ordered the soldiers to retreat.

The generals have been busy for several days in a row, and they have long been tired and weak, and when they heard Chai Shao say so compassionately, they thanked them and got up one after another. After the Chinese army's tent calmed down again, Zuo Yiwei's general Chai Shao shook his head at the beating lights and grinned bitterly: "Hehe, Lao Tzu is really a tiger falling into Pingyang, even a thief dares to play suspicious tactics with Lao Tzu!" Hehehehehe......he

If it had been a year ago, he wouldn't have cared what kind of strategy Shi Zan used, he would have led his troops to rush over directly. In any case, the final victory must be their own, and the difference is only a matter of how much the brothers under his command have lost. But now, when people are unlucky, they can't afford to lose so much capital. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the position of Zuo Yiwei, and he has beaten the brothers out, and he will not have to lead troops in the future.

Thinking of these nonsense things, he thought of his deceased wife again. If Wan'er is still alive, no matter how much she messes with herself, no one will dare to beat her own idea in her face. But what's the use of thinking about it now? She's been dead for almost a year. The corpses were not recovered, and the sacrifices were only a few pieces of armor that they usually wore to enjoy the sacrifices!

Speaking from the heart, there is not much husband and wife love between Chai Shao and Wan'er. Their marriage was entirely about connecting the two families, and both parties knew it. And the personalities of the two people are too strong, and it is difficult for each other to tolerate each other. As a suave and famous young talent in Beijing, Chai Shao needs a female lady with red sleeves and fragrance, and Wan'er is best at arranging troops, dancing knives and guns. It's not that there is no tenderness in her eyes, but that gentleness is never born for herself. Once, at a certain moment in a certain year, a certain month, Chai Shao saw Wan'er's charm. But as soon as she turned around, her face returned to the dignity that the daughter of Tang Gong should have.

That's when I was helping my sister Li Qian come up with an idea! Chai Shao still remembers why Ying'er left home at that time, and what the two sisters were talking about. But when he suddenly appeared beside him, the two sisters immediately changed the topic of Gu Zuo'er about him. It's infuriating! Isn't it just that little when you were young, who hasn't been young and frivolous? With his own Chai Daxia's mind, would he still care about these shadowless deeds?!

Thinking about it, Chai Shao fell asleep in a daze. In the haze, he now returned to the moment when the husband and wife escaped from Chang'an City a few years ago. When people were sleepy and tired, he inadvertently sang: 'Yu Xi Yu Xi Nao? Then he saw his wife smile faintly, turned to himself and suggested: "Xianggong, even if you leave, Wan'er has her own way to get out!" ”

"I didn't mean that!" Chai Shao was very angry and loudly defended himself. But the sound of horses' hooves in the night was getting closer and closer, and no matter how boring they were, neither of them could walk. So he turned and rode his horse to the fork in the road. I thought that Wan'er would soon succumb to catch up, but I didn't expect that until the mount under her crotch was exhausted, she didn't hear any calls after her death.

"I really didn't want to leave you behind!" In a blink of an eye, Chai Shao appeared again and came to the foot of the Great Wall. The Turks attacked like ants, but there were no guards left around him and Wan'er. "Xianggong just leave!" It's the same words, the same smile. Then Wan'er swung her sword and rushed towards the nearest enemy. A cold arrow suddenly shot from behind and shot into Wan'er's soft body. Chai Shao yelled and pounced, killing the Turks and snatching back his wife, and his heart was painful. Vaguely, I heard Wan'er whispering: "Don't avenge me, live by yourself!" ”

"I'm going to kill you—" Chai Shao knew whose quiver the arrow came from, put down his wife's quiver, and screamed loudly. With a bang, the sky cracked, and the entire Great Wall burst into flames, engulfing everything between heaven and earth in an instant. "I'm going to kill—" Chai Shao shouted, opening his eyes, only to find that his hand was touching the candle, and his palm was full of wax tears.

"General—" The soldiers all rushed in and formed a small circle around Chai Shao. "It's okay, it's okay, I'm dreaming!" Chai Shao waved his hand tiredly and ordered his soldiers to disperse. "What time is it?"

"It's three quarters of a year, and the sky is still dark!" The family looked Chai Rong out and responded in a low voice.

"How did I sleep for so long?" Chai Shao couldn't believe it, his ears swept his eyes outside the tent, and sure enough, he could already see the outline of the camp tent in the distance. Stretching, he slowly stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and continued to ask, "Is the bridge ready?" What's going on on the other side? ”

"When it was ugly, it was set up around the right and left, and it was only about half a foot away from the river beach on the opposite bank. You can basically jump over. "The general Chai Rong has been with him since he was a child, and he knows very well what the master needs most at this moment, while waiting for Chai Shao to wash his face, he whispered the latest situation of last night's life: "The enemy kept his promise and did not attack at night. A large section of the river beach where we landed was also vacated. But according to Duan Join's army, it is estimated that the thief will fight half-crossing! ”

"Just the thousands of people on the other side?" Chai Shao pursed his lips and sneered, took the hot hand towel sent by Chai Rong, and wiped a few handfuls on his face, "Unless they are all strange knife hands!" If Dou Jiande could afford to raise five thousand Mo swordsmen, he would have unified Hebei a long time ago, so why wait until now? ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Chai Rong scratched his head in embarrassment: "The general is right, the little one is confused!" ”

"It's right to be cautious for the generals!" Chai Shao threw the handkerchief back to the other party and smiled and encouraged. "What's new. Have all the scouts returned? You just tell me that you don't bother to read those reports again! ”

"Nothing else! There is no news from the two generals Li and Luo! Encouraged by Chai Rong's words, he became more and more organized: "The scouts also sent back intelligence last night, and the enemy troops on the other side are about 5,000 to 7,000. The leader surnamed Shi was the head of the Tang Dynasty under Dou Jiande. The day before yesterday, the Zhaozhou battalion, which was desperate with us, also inquired clearly. It is the subordinates of the thief Kou Cheng Mingzhen who are entrenched in the area of Pingen and Qingzhang who are now temporarily attached to Dou Jiande! ”

"Oh!" Chai Shao groaned in a low voice. "I vaguely heard of this person, and General Feng died in his hands back then! It should be a character! Is he on the other side? Is there a banner of him on the other side? ”

"This scout hasn't figured it out yet. Wu Tianxi, who was desperate with us the day before yesterday, was also on the other side. It's still the banner of the Zhaozhou battalion! Chai Rong thought about it and reported in as much detail as possible.

This news alone is obviously not enough to meet the operational needs. But Chai Shao can't expect more thousands of miles to run, and the scouts who are not familiar with the place can find out the situation of the enemy army to such a point, which is already very rare. Just as he was about to make some deliberations on the latest knowledge of the enemy's situation, a horn suddenly sounded outside: "Woo woo"

In the silence of the early morning, the sound of horns was particularly harsh. Chai Shao stepped out of the military tent, pressed the handle of the knife and asked, "What's the matter?" Who's making trouble on purpose! ”

It was not yet dawn, and the soldiers were sleeping soundly. After being woken up by the sudden sound of the horn, they rushed out of the tent one by one. Fortunately, the training is strict, and the guys are not completely messed up. Under the reprimand of the officer on duty, he quickly regained his stability and put the team in order. At this time, Chen Liangcheng, who was in charge of guarding outside the camp, also rode his horse to the Chinese army, threw the stirrup off the saddle, bowed down and reported to Chai Shao: "General Qiqi, the thief on the other side will call the horn to invite our army to fight." ”

"How many? How to move? Chai Shao frowned and asked with a calm face.

"The whole army gathered on the other side of the river and set up a huge phalanx!" Chen Liangcheng straightened up and replied loudly.

"Look for death!" Chai Shao scolded in a low voice. Squeezing more than 5,000 people together, even the left and right, the three armies, and the three armies are purely a one-shot deal. In case of a burst of collapse, the Lord will die, and he won't know how to die. But the more brutal he is, the more troublesome it will be for Li Jiajun. Because the six pontoon bridges can kill the soldiers who cross the river at the same time, after all, there are only a limited number of soldiers, and it is difficult to form a local breakthrough.

"Let him go. We can't let people lead us by the nose! Duan Zhixuan, who joined the army in the Ming Law, stepped forward and suggested to Chai Shao in a low voice.

It's a good idea. No matter what tactics the other side uses, the difference in numbers between the enemy and us is there. As long as you fight in a decent manner, you can crush this phalanx sooner or later. Chai Shao thought about it, felt that Duan Zhixuan's words were very reasonable, smiled and waved his hand, and ordered loudly: "That's right, he has a thousand clever plans, and there are certain rules." Let everyone disperse for dinner, gather at three o'clock, and cross the river according to the original plan. ”

"Disperse for breakfast. Three times to assemble and cross the river! In the midst of the loud shouts of the heralds, the soldiers of the Li family, who were awakened by the toss, yawned and cursed, and the relatives of the enemy soldiers dispersed. There is still some time before the assembly time, but I will definitely not be able to sleep when I return to sleep. This feeling of tightening and loosening is the most painful, which makes everyone feel sour all over their bodies. But the immoral guys on the other side got cheap, and they sold obediently, and they blew the horn of provocation endlessly.

The sound of the horn was terrible, and it ran into the ears of the people, and then turned into a ball of pig's bristles, and stuck in the heart. If there was a choice, the soldiers of the Li family would rather go hungry and start a war with the enemy army now than endure this kind of devastation. But they are not in a position to question the manager's decision. I could only drag my tired body and slowly suffer in the morning light. Eyelids fight up and down.

I don't know how long it took to finally stop the sound of the horn on the other side. The war drums of his own camp exploded. Immediately afterward, the junior officer scolded and gave orders. "Drop the bowl, drop the bowl. The whole team, the whole team, you foodies. The whole team prepares to cross the river. Fuck it! ”

"Cross the river, cross the river!" A jumble of voices responds that there is no difference between having eaten and not eating. Soldiers, you push me, you curse in a low voice, I don't know if you are cursing the damned enemy or your own boss. The team gradually took shape in the busyness, scolding and scolding, and walked to the riverbank with one foot and one shallow foot. The thin morning mist on the riverbank gradually turned into a pale pink with the sun, swirling around and steaming repeatedly.

In the pale pink morning mist, Li Jiajun slowly forced onto the pontoon bridge. Lined up in long queues and marched in unison.

A pale pink morning mist envelops them. The shallows under the bridge are the source of the fog. The corpses that floated down from the upstream were tripped up by the dry reeds in the river, and one by one was silent, as if sleeping. Occasionally, the sunlight penetrates the mist, and the shadows of the living immediately sprinkle the eyelids of the dead, and the living and the dead are instantly connected by the pink morning mist, and they can't tell where hell is and where is the earth?
