Under the leadership of Dai Yuan, the Northern Expeditionary Army originally planned to wait for Sima Rui's holy decree to arrive, and then rush to the aid of the Beijing Division, but it never waited for the imperial court's holy decree to move troops, so it had to be temporarily stationed in Huaiyin.

On this day, Zu Ti and Yun Ru came to the barracks and asked the guards to inform them that they were going to join the army, but after the guards came in to report, Dai Yuan had no intention of recruiting troops and refused.

Zu Ti was looking for another way, and a few horses came galloping outside the camp, Zu Ti understood that he must have found urgent information, so he looked outside the camp.

Yun Ru said: "Big brother, forget it, the Northern Expeditionary Army is not recruiting now. ”

"Yunru, wait a minute, I think something big must happen in Jiankang, maybe things will take a turn for the better."

"Big deal? Of course, it was Wang Dun who rebelled against the imperial court. ”

"Don't rush yet, let's see."

These horsemen were the scouts of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and they found out that Wang Dun and Wang Dao of Jiankang had already started a war.

Dai Yuan hurriedly said: "How is it, how is the victory or defeat?" ”

"We don't know yet."

"Probe!"

"Yes!."

"Come, let Zu Yue come to see me."

"Yes!"

At this time, Zu Yue was nominally the history of Yuzhou Thorn, because after Zu Xiao "died", the people knew that it was the imperial court, and they were not willing to support the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Dai Yuan at all, Dai Yuan was very afraid, he knew that the people's hearts could not be lost, so he asked Zu Yue to be the history of Yuzhou Thorn, which slightly appeased the people's hearts.

When Zu Yue came, Dai Yuan asked him: "General Zu, now that the outcome of the court is unknown, do we want to enter King Qin in Beijing?" ”

"Marshal, the imperial court did not summon us to enter Beijing, it is a big crime to enter Beijing without permission, it is better to wait and see, besides, Shile has annexed the territory we withdrew, if we leave, then there will be no land in the north of the Yangtze River."

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you keep the imperial court, the lost land here will be recovered."

"This ......"

"Let's wait for two more days, if there is no news from the imperial court, we will wave our army into the capital and cut off Wang Dun's dog's head!"

"Marshal, if we leave, we will indeed be very passive, I have a way, it is better to recruit some more people, in case we want to leave, I can lead some soldiers to hold Huaiyin, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Dai Yuan sneered and said, "What, you don't want to leave, you want to stay here, don't you care about the emperor's safety?" ”

"Marshal, the emperor's safety is important, but the northern land cannot be lost, why do you have to lose the northern land?"

"Since you don't want to go back to Beijing, then okay, recruit some people on the spot, if there is something to do in Jiankang, you will occupy Huaiyin here, and our Northern Expeditionary Army may come back one day in the future."

"Marshal, not maybe, he will definitely come back."

"Okay, you can go and recruit troops, but there can't be too many people, five hundred is enough."

"What, five hundred?"

"Yes, the imperial treasury is empty, and now it is Yin to eat grain, how can there be so many military food supplies, and the military strength of five hundred people is enough."

"Marshal, five hundred people are all recruits, how can they resist Shile's soldiers and horses!"

"You can figure this out for yourself."

Zu Yue knew that Dai Yuan's mind was not in the north, so he had to go to recruit troops by himself, and as soon as the notice was put out, Zu Yi and Yunru came to answer the call.

"You two are lucky, you just said you didn't want to, and now it's time to recruit soldiers again, come, register your name."

"Zhanfei."

The sergeant boarded his name, and Zu Ti pointed to Yunru and said, "This is my cousin Zhansan." ”

After the registration was completed, the number of people who heard the news and came to apply for the recruitment also increased, and 500 people were recruited in just one afternoon.

Zu Yue wanted to train the recruits himself, and after a few days, Yun Ru couldn't stand it anymore, and felt that it was inconvenient to live, so Zu Yu found Zu Yue and asked Yun Ru to feed the horses, and Zu Yue agreed.

Yunru worked as a groom and only fed the horses every day, saving a lot of energy.

Zu Ti didn't want to explain the truth of the matter to Zu Yue, for fear that he would reveal the news, so he just followed the training every day.

During this period, Dai Yuan heard about Wang Dun's entry into the palace, and also knew that Wang Dun did not have a substantive rebellion, but only got the official position of prime minister and some rewards, and then moved to Wuchang, Dai Yuan finally put his mind at ease and had no intention of returning to Jiankang for the time being.

On this day, Dai Yuan suddenly received a holy decree asking him to move back to Jiankang, and Dai Yuan immediately prepared to leave.

It turned out that Sima Rui's illness had worsened at this time, and he was afraid that he would have a good one, and Wang Dun would take the opportunity to enter, so he first transferred the Northern Expeditionary Army back to Beijing.

Dai Yuan announced that he had ordered him to return to the division, and Zu Yue left behind with 500 recruits according to the agreement.

When he heard that the Northern Expeditionary Army had returned to the division, he happily said to the military division Zhang Bin: "God really helps me, Zu Le is dead, and the Northern Expeditionary Army is gone, it seems that my Shile is going to dominate the world!" ”

"Congratulations! Lord, it seems that this time we can advance to the river. Zhang Bin said conceitedly.

"Well, as long as we push to the riverside, we will prepare to cross the Yangtze River by warship and get the land south of the Yangtze River, and I, Shile, will also be the first emperor of the ages! Hahahaha......"

"When are we going to send troops, King?"

"I'll send troops tomorrow, I can't wait!."

"Yes, my lord."

"Come on, invite Master Buddha Tucheng!"

"Yes."

Buddha Tucheng was invited, Shi Le respectfully asked him to sit down, and then asked, "Master, you know divination, can you tell me when I will win the world?" ”

"Donor, the world is so big, how can you get it alone?"

"Hahahaha, the master said that he laughed, I mean when to unify the world."

"Unify the world? If you follow the will of the people, you can unify the world, and the unification of the world cannot be completed without the heroic lord, and you ...... donor."

"Master, do you mean to say that I am not qualified for Shile, do you mean that I am not the Lord of the World!?" Shi Leyuan said with his eyes open.

"Donor, you are wrong, how can I be qualified to be a hero? Heroes are not something I say casually, they are what everyone in the world wants, and heroes are not self-appointed. ”

"I didn't call myself a hero! I, Shile, have been a hard-working child since I was a child, suffered a lot, and were sold into slavery, but then I became a general step by step and became an emperor! Am I not a hero of the world? If I can't be called, then what is a hero? ”

"Donor, I don't want to fight with a Buddhist disciple, if you talk about heroes, your brother Zu Ti is one."

"What does he have? He's just an unpopular general, how can he compare to me! He doesn't deserve to be called a brother to me! ”

"Zu Ti has the world in mind, but he has never fought for the world, this is a hero."

"He has the world in his heart and does not fight for the world, master, I don't understand, he doesn't want to get the world, but he has the world in his heart, ......?"

"A real hero has the world in mind, and he has put the people of the world into his heart."

"Master, I understand, real heroes have the world in mind, they will fight for the world in order to save the world, and I, just to get the world, I will fight for the world!"

Buddha Tucheng clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha Buddha ......"

Zhang Bin said: "King, the master is a person in Buddhism, his views are out of place, what is the mind of the world and not fighting for the world, if we don't fight, we will be wiped out by Liu Yao long ago!" King, don't talk about the world with Buddhists. ”

Shi Le said: "I don't care who is the hero of the world, I only know that only by killing can I get the world!" Master, let's get straight to the point, the master can accurately predict that I will be a slave, and can predict the outcome of many wars, you can directly tell me whether I can get the world or not! ”

Fotu Cheng knew Shi Le's ultimate fate, but he couldn't tell him the truth, he knew that he was powerless to change, and the only thing he could do was to let Shi Le kill fewer innocents.

"If the benefactor can act as a soldier of benevolence and righteousness, perhaps he will ......," Buddha Tucheng said tentatively.

"Since the master doesn't want to say it clearly, forget it, my fate is up to me, why can't I Shile get the world!"

"What the king said is very true!" Zhang Bin agreed.

"Report!" The herald marched into the road.

"Speak"

"According to the report of Tan Malay, the troops of Huaiyin have withdrawn, and only a few hundred people are left!"

"Pass my military order and march into Huaiyin early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

Shi Le gave an order, and Buddha Tucheng folded his hands together and said, "Amitabha, this battle will be lost." ”

"What? Master, you...... ...... you want to curse me? ”

"Destiny is like this, Lao Qu is telling the truth." After Buddha Tucheng finished speaking, he left.

Zhang Bin said: "King, don't listen to his nonsense. ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that he took me in Luoyang back then, I would have killed him! Needless to say, march on time tomorrow! Shile said fiercely.
