Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mighty Soldiers of the Yin Soldiers
Su Jun saw Wang Dun attacking the city, Dai Yuan led the Northern Expeditionary Army to resist desperately, and the troops of King Qin came sporadically, except for the military horses of the royal family, few others came.
Su Jun knew that his time for meritorious service had finally come, he came to the camp of the 3,000 orphan army, blew the horn in his hand, and suddenly the 3,000 people were assembled, Su Jun ascended and said: "Brothers, the time has finally come for you to show your skills, put on your rattan armor and pick up the knife!" ”
The three thousand men were each armed, dressed neatly according to Su Jun's requirements, holding large knives in their hands, and their faces were smeared with various colors of paint, becoming a grimace, and they also covered their previous civilian clothes on the outside of the rattan armor, and also painted their clothes, so that they looked like a group of ghosts coming to the world.
"Brothers, Wang Dun rebelled, is attacking Jiankang City, the emperor is in danger, the time has come for you to show your skills, you don't have to be afraid, just kill the enemy bravely, the rattan armor on your body has been demonstrated many times, no matter the sword, gun, sword and halberd can not hurt you at all, you are a divine soldier!"
The three thousand vine armor soldiers all nodded, and Su Jun said again: "You can't speak, I feel very sorry for everyone, but I can't help it, I'm afraid that if you show the news, the plan will fall short, and when this battle is over, I will give you an antidote immediately." ”
The rattan armor soldier nodded again, and Su Jun said: "The big boat by the river is ready, after going ashore, look at my orders, and wait until I let go of the smoke, then rush to Wang Dun's soldiers and horses, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”
The rattan armor soldiers began to set off, and went to the riverside to take dozens of boats to wait under Jiankang City, all the boats were converted from civilian boats, and the situation inside could not be seen from the outside.
Su Jun also sent Zu Yue to lead 10,000 horses to Jiankang with great fanfare.
Dai Yuan in Jiankang City was about to be unable to withstand it, he personally put on the head of the city, commanded to defend the city, suddenly an arrow hit his chest, shot through the armor, Dai Yuan was injured, the morale of the Northern Expeditionary Army was frustrated, Wang Dun looked, personally beat the war drum to attack the city, for a while, the rebels attacked the city with all their strength, and saw that Jiankang City was about to be breached, at this time, Zu Yue led the army to kill.
Zu Yue led the army to fight for a while, and Dai Yuan in the city saw that the opportunity had come, and ordered someone to open the city gate and take the initiative to attack and fight Wang Dun.
The two armies faced each other and suffered losses from each other, but Wang Dun was heavy after all, and the Jin army was still at a disadvantage.
Wang Dun saw that it was only a matter of time before he would win, and laughed happily.
A burst of smoke blew, and the two armies couldn't see clearly, east and west, north and south, and with the fog, there was a faint branch of men and horses screaming and rushing towards the rebels, it was Su Jun's orphan army.
The rebels felt strange when they saw this army of soldiers and horses, not only did they not wear military uniforms, but they also looked strange, like ghosts and gods, and they couldn't parry as soon as they joined the battle, because the rebels' arrows did not work on them at all, and they all fell to the ground, whether it was swords, guns, swords, halberds, or any weapons, they were stabbed unscathed, but the rebels were brutally killed, and the rebels cried out for hell, and they retreated in a swarm.
Zuyo and the Northern Expeditionary Army took advantage of the situation to rush and kill, and the rebels were defeated like a mountain, losing their armor for a while, and they were unable to form an army.
The Jin army was fighting and rising, and another burst of smoke hit, and when the smoke cleared, those people just now were gone.
Wang Dun was killed, the head of the owl was shown to the public, spread all over the place, Wang Dun's remnants did not dare to make any more moves, Wang Dun's rebellion was finally pacified, Dai Yuan was wounded by an arrow, and he was martyred.
At the end of this battle, Sima Shao rewarded meritorious deeds, posthumously rewarded Dai Yuan, rewarded Zu Yue and others, especially Su Jun, Sima Shao was even more preferential, and gave the title of champion general, envoy to the festival, scattered cavalry and permanent servants, Liyang internal history, Shao Linggong, and 2,000 households in Shiyi.
Sima Shao looked at the courtiers with a look of dissatisfaction, and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know Su Jun's merits?" ”
Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, no one can say what credit he has to get such a big reward.
Seeing the ministers shaking their heads, Sima Shao said: "Everyone knows that when fighting with the rebels, a group of men and horses came in, they were like divine soldiers descending, invulnerable, killing countless corpses of the rebels, and with the heroic killing of the generals to defeat Wang Dun, do you know where this divine soldier came from?" ”
"Your Majesty, we did see the divine soldiers, after a burst of smoke, these divine soldiers came to the battlefield, and they did kill the rebels without the power to fight back, but where did this divine soldier come from, does it have anything to do with General Su?" The person who asked the question was Geng Liang.
Sima Shao's queen is Geng Wenjun, Geng Liang is Geng Wenliang's own brother, because he also participated in the battle, he was named Yongchang Gong, the general of the army, and the reward is still under Su Jun, so it is inevitable that he will not be convinced.
"General Geng, don't you know, these divine soldiers are not strictly called divine soldiers, they can only be called Yin soldiers."
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand."
"Okay, since everyone doesn't understand, let General Su tell everyone about it, Su Jun, you can talk about it, otherwise everyone will not be convinced by your reward."
Su Jun said: "That's the case, when I crossed to the south, I got a secret technique of cultivation, and I can command the Yin soldiers to help when I cultivated this technique, at that time, Wang Dun had the heart of disobedience, and the emperor ordered me to actively prepare for war in order to prevent him. ”
"So that's the case, I heard earlier that there is a technique of exorcism soldiers, but legend has it that only Jiang Ziya can use this technique, and I can learn this technique in the court, which means that my emperor is blessed with Qitian, and I am prosperous for ten thousand years." A courtier said.
"Hearing Su Jun say this, no one is jealous of his reward anymore, right?"
"The emperor is heroic and martial, Su Jun deserves this reward."
After the reward is completed, Wang Dao will be crowned as the prime minister and the general leader of the government.
Su Jun played again at this time: "Your Majesty, do you remember what you said at the beginning?" ”
"Huh? What did I say? ”
"The emperor said that if my Yin Exorcism Soldier Technique has made a war achievement, I will be allowed to command 100,000 horses, and now I ......" Although he said this, he did not dare to look up at Sima Rui.
Sima Shao did say it, but if he really wanted to give him 100,000 soldiers and horses, how could he rest assured.
Geng Liang couldn't hold his breath for a while: "Your Majesty, Su Jun's qualifications are still shallow, and I only have 60,000 soldiers and horses for Tao Kan, how can he, Su Jun, be proud of his achievements and insist on military power." ”
As soon as the courtiers heard this, this Su Jun was too much, and he wanted to his tail just after a little credit, if he followed his wishes, he would not become Wang Dun's second!
Hearing that the courtiers in the main hall snorted and some coughed dryly, Su Jun knew that he was in a hurry, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, Weichen just wants to share the burden for the country, and he has no intention of doing it for himself." ”
Sima Shao followed him and said: "Su Jun is loyal to me and understands in my heart that although there are not so many soldiers and horses now, I once promised you, so I will first pull out 10,000 horses with you, and choose from the Northern Expeditionary Army, as for the matter of 100,000 soldiers and horses, after you arrive in Liyang, you can recruit soldiers and horses by yourself." ”
Geng Liang heard it, what kind of thing is this, isn't this a legacy of raising tigers, but think about it again, after Su Jun arrived at the place, how could he have so much financial resources to support soldiers and horses, and what could he do with just relying on the food of 2,000 households, it seems that the emperor also knows what he said, so he will no longer speak.
Su Jun said: "Emperor Xie, after Su Jun arrives in Liyang, he can recruit his own soldiers and horses, provide for his own military supplies, and never add a burden to the imperial court." ”
Sima Shao said in his heart, Su Jun, how can I have 100,000 soldiers and horses in my hands, allowing you to raise your own money is just to make you retreat, with your 2,000 households can raise a few soldiers, in addition to the 20,000 horses in your hand, I don't give much money for one or two silver.
