Han Ruzi slept until the early hours of the morning, the guard Wang He and a eunuch came in to wake him up, the eunuch served the emperor to dress, Wang He said: "There was a little riot in the Baijia Army, it is said that someone shouted that the Chu army wanted to do it, and the generals in the battalion pressed it by themselves, and it was all right, and they came to report the situation in the middle of the night." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Han Ruzi snorted, this is not the time to drink together last night, now he is the emperor and the master of the army.

Wang He has always been calm, but today he was a little uncomposed, hesitated again and again, and asked, "How did Your Majesty guess that the Hundred Families Army would not rebel?" I just don't understand. ”

"For the Hundred Families Army, the time has passed, if they want to rebel, they should have done it earlier, and then go north to meet the gods and ghosts Da Shan Yu, now that the enemy chieftain has arrived, the formation is in front, even if the Hundred Families Army carries my head to invite merit, it is still a capital crime."

Han Ruzi put on his clothes and armor, "I know the gods and ghosts, and the hundred army knows even better, they have been forced to a desperate situation, and they have no choice but to join forces with the Chu army." ”

Wang He admired it, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty knows people, I am stupid, I can't think of so much." ”

Han Ruzi smiled slightly, as an emperor, his authority is getting higher and higher, but there is no one around him to tell the truth, he will never tell someone how panicked he is in his heart, his eyes are closed but he can't sleep, and he finally fell asleep and his dreams were full of scenes of his being killed......

He won't speak, everything is hidden in his heart, and everyone can only see or hear about a far-sighted and calm emperor.

It was not yet dawn outside, and the soldiers had already gotten up, and all kinds of sounds in the camp converged, drums, gongs, trumpets, roars, whips...... Different armies gathered their soldiers in different ways, distributed breakfast, and conducted a training and agitation.

Cui Teng and the others were already waiting outside the hall, and at this time, they all greeted them and hugged the emperor to climb the watchtower.

Upstairs, more than a dozen heads lined up, facing the open area to the north, ready to "witness" a big battle.

Cui Teng knelt in front of his father, muttered a few words in a low voice, and then got up and stayed by the emperor's side.

The battle plan had already been arranged, the emperor symbolically struck the drum upstairs, and the officials of the military department immediately notified the heralds downstairs, and more than a dozen soldiers carried flags on their backs and galloped out of the village to spread the holy decree.

At the beginning of the rising sun, Han Ruzi said: "Today's sunny day is a good day for a decisive battle." ”

Cui Teng looked at it from afar and said with a smile: "There don't seem to be many enemy troops. ”

The number of enemy troops is indeed not very large, but it is by no means less than the Chu army, and they are all elite soldiers of his own clan who are gods and ghosts, and it is by relying on this army that he conquered the entire west and drove a large number of soldiers to attack Great Chu.

The Chu army at the forefront has already lined up in formation, and the first one should be Fan Bangshan, but the distance is too far for the people on the watchtower to see clearly.

The sun rose a little more, and the two armies began to shoot arrows at each other, causing minimal casualties, and after three rounds they all stopped wasting and sent their first team to charge.

Cui Teng's heart was anxious, "Which one is General Fan?" You must give the enemy a dismount. ”

Wang He cared more about the emperor, so he was the first to see the abnormality and whispered: "Your Majesty......"

Han Ruzi shook his head solemnly, and also whispered, "It's okay." ”

Wang He looked at the emperor's pale face, knowing that this was by no means "nothing", he clearly saw the emperor's face in pain just now, obviously unwell.

During the last night battle in the capital, Han Ruzi was injured in the chest and broke a rib, and he was only treated by the imperial doctor hastily afterwards, and Han Ruzi forbade the imperial doctor to come again, let alone reveal the news to the outside world.

He believed that he could stand it, and he had to, and that at such times, the slightest surprise of the Emperor could provoke countless suspicions.

The battle between the two armies in the distance must have been a fierce battle, but from a distance it was not like that, all the horses were running too slowly, the neighing could not be heard clearly, and the scene of blood splashing could not be seen.

From afar, the viewer can only use imagination to describe the tragedy on the battlefield.

Cui Teng clenched his fists, leaned out of the watchtower halfway, and was dragged back by two guards to prevent him from falling.

Han Ruzi looked at it for a while, sat on the only chair upstairs, and smiled at the accompanying generals and officials: "There is nothing to do left and right, let's make a bet, when will the winner of today's battle be decided?" ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, especially the two generals of the Hundred Families, who were even more surprised than the Chu people when they heard the interpreter speak in a whisper.

"My bet ends around noon, and I bet a hundred taels of silver, is anyone willing to bet? Cui Teng. ”

Cui Teng glanced at the battlefield in the distance again, "I'm betting on the end of the game, and I'm betting on ...... One hundred thousand taels. ”

Han Ruzi reprimanded: "Nonsense, you can only bet one hundred taels, is your Cui family richer than the royal family?" ”

Cui Teng laughed embarrassedly twice, "Then one hundred taels, Shen Shi...... Before and after, a quarter of an hour is considered my win, right? ”

"Of course."

The others still didn't have the enthusiasm to participate, and Han Ruzi continued to roll call, "Wang He, you can also guess the time." ”

"I hope the sooner the better, the sooner."

"There is less than an hour left, Wang He, you obviously want to send money." Cui Teng said with a glare.

Wang He smiled, "It's hard to say, maybe I won?" If everyone didn't bet on it, wouldn't I make a lot of money on my own? ”

"Hey, everyone bet a hundred taels, and there aren't many ...... in total" Cui Teng came up with interest, urging the others upstairs to say that the time bet, even the guards and the two foreign generals did not let go.

The crowd had no choice but to place bets, and the vast majority of them bet on the end of the hour or the end of the day, when it was already dark and the battle could only end.

It's a head-to-head confrontation and no one wants to fight at night.

An officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs wrote them down one by one, feeling nervous and amusing at the same time.

Han Ruzi looked at the youngest general in the crowd, "Xie Cun, you haven't placed a bet yet, have you?" ”

Xie Cun once assisted Qu Zixi to guard the capital, made great contributions, and has not yet been rewarded, and when the capital army went to support Cui Hong, he did not follow and escaped.

"Is it to bet on the end of the battle, or on the winner?" Xie Cun asked.

"Decide the winner."

"Do you have to bet today?"

"Not necessarily." Han Ruzi said.

Xie Cun thought for a while, "I'll postpone the day." ”

Cui Teng shook his head, "You can only bet on a certain hour, not a day." ”

"The day after tomorrow at noon...... No, not before and after. Xie Cun said.

"Have you written it all?" Cui Teng asked, and the military officer nodded.

Cui Teng was very excited, rubbing his hands, "Actually, I also think that there will be no winner today, Your Majesty, can I bet again?" ”

"No, one person can guess once."

Cui Teng thought for a while, "I made a bet for my father, and he is also here, so he should be counted as a share, right?" ”

"Okay." Han Ruzi agreed.

"The day after tomorrow, when Shen is shining, it is one hour later than Xie Cun." Cui Teng said, supervising the officials of the military department to write.

The sound of gongs and drums in the distance suddenly became louder, Cui Teng was more anxious than anyone else, and ran to the side of the building to look at it from afar, "The hundred armies have joined the war." ”

It was a critical moment, and two foreign generals also came to the side of the building, tiptoeing to watch the battle, saying something to each other.

The interpreter stepped forward to interpret to the emperor, but Han Ruzi waved his hand and said no.

After a full two quarters of an hour, Cui Teng turned around and said to the emperor very solemnly: "The hundred army is brave and fearless. ”

Han Ruzi snorted, looking very unconcerned.

Wang He was the first to lose, and the morning had passed, and the war was raging in the distance, with no end in sight.

"Bring me a hundred taels of silver." Cui Teng stretched out his hand to beg, he has always been serious about gambling.

Wang He patted his body and said embarrassedly: "I didn't bring it, wait for me to get it when I go back to the account." ”

"Is that okay?" Cui Teng asked.

"Sign and bookkeeping." Han Ruzi said.

"Wang He, deputy captain of the Sword Halberd Battalion of the Su Guards, owes one hundred taels of silver, a certain year, month and day." Cui Teng dictated, asked the officials of the military department to write it down, and then said to Wang He: "Sign." ”

Wang He was helpless, and he signed with a pen, and everyone was surprised, and even cared less about the battle in the distance.

The second one to lose was the emperor himself, it was past noon, Cui Teng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty lost, Your Majesty won't bring no silver, right?" ”

"Wait, I'm talking about noon, a quarter of an hour to go."

Someone in the army specially recorded the time, every quarter of an hour, there would be a gong downstairs, Cui Teng listened attentively, and even forgot to watch the battle, as soon as the gong sounded, he immediately smiled to the emperor: "It's here." ”

"Isn't it over?" The battlefield could not be seen where Han Ruzi was sitting.

"No, the battle is fierce, and almost half of the hundred armies are participating in the war."

Han Ruzi really didn't have any silver on him, and neither did the eunuchs around him, "Okay, I admit defeat and keep accounts." ”

The officials of the military department did not dare to put pen to paper, and did not know how to write.

Han Ruzi beckoned, called a pen and paper, and wrote down in person: I owe a hundred taels of silver, a certain year, month and day. A small circle is drawn on the inscription.

Cui Teng glanced at it and said with a smile: "If I win, I don't want silver, I want Your Majesty's words, take them back and seal them, they are worth a fortune." ”

Han Ruzi snorted, his handwriting was not very good-looking.

Fortunately, Cui Teng didn't win, this battle was fought from morning to night, the two sides were deadlocked, and after dark, they didn't tell the winner, so they had to retreat.

Fan Bangshan came back alive, covered in bloodstains, and the wine and meat had already been prepared in the village, he first grabbed a piece of meat and chewed a few bites, and then complained to the guards sent by the emperor, "It's more important than the enemy, and you won't let me charge at all." ”

The guards told a different scene, Fan Bangshan entered and exited the battlefield several times, changed three horses and a dozen spears before and after, and picked down at least 20 enemy soldiers.

Cui Teng stepped to Fan Bangshan's side and whispered, "Let's make a bet." ”

"Well, what's the note?"

Although Cui Teng lost, the gambling interest was higher, and he showed the paper of the bet, "Bet when you can divide the winner and loser, everyone lost today, so I will guess the day after tomorrow." ”

"We are fighting bloody battles on the front lines, but you are betting our lives in the rear?"

Cui Teng's face changed color, and he hurriedly said, "This is Your Majesty...... Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to war with you and bet my life. ”

Fan Bangshan laughed, "I'll bet tomorrow before dark." ”

"That's around the time of unitary."

"Bet 10,000 taels."

Cui Teng praised "refreshing", and then shook his head regretfully, "Your Majesty is only allowed to bet one hundred taels." ”

"Then bet a hundred taels, wait, can my soldiers bet?"

Cui Teng turned his head to look at the emperor.

Han Ruzi nodded.

"Yes."

"Can a dead man bet?"

Cui Teng once made a bet for his deceased father, and he didn't need to ask the emperor anymore, and said directly: "Yes." ”

"Okay, then bet, the forward army is 1,160 people, all bet on tomorrow's chieftain, one hundred silver, win everyone's points, lose me out."

Cui Teng kindly reminded, "That's more than 110,000 taels." ”

Fan Bangshan didn't expect so much, and he was vague all of a sudden.

Han Ruzi opened his mouth and said: "A hundred taels for a general and ten taels for a soldier are enough." ”

Cui Teng said with a smile as he wrote: "General Fan is not very good at gambling, you should divide more than 1,000 people into several bets, bet on different times, and win more." ”

Fan Bangshan waved his hand, "Bet big, what do you want to win?" ”

The gambling game expanded all of a sudden, and several generals crowded over to bet on themselves and their soldiers, and even the generals of the Hundred Army surrounded the interpreter to ask for the details of the gambling game.

Han Ruzi whispered to the eunuch beside him: "You can also make a bet, and bet on noon after tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
