Being loyal to Li Tang and supporting Li Tang is the foundation upheld in the hearts of many loyal and patriotic ministers.

The reason why Yang Deshan came out of the valley was also because Gu Zi let himself out of the valley to help Li Tang put down the chaos, which means that Li Tang had not yet reached the end of his life.

Li Keyong's disdain for Li Tang made him a little wavering whether to continue to help him make suggestions.

Li Keyong said: "This big victory is all due to Mr. Yang's strategy, and Mr. Yang should take the first credit for this credit." Come, the prison officer will give the first credit to the gentleman. ”

"Marshal, this credit is all exchanged for the lives of the soldiers, and the soldiers should be recorded as the first merit, and Deshan does not dare to be greedy for merit."

Yang Deshan knew that this time he made plans to help the Tang army fight a beautiful ambush battle. However, no officer or soldier of the three armed forces dared to work hard, how could their own strategy succeed. Therefore, he did not dare to be greedy for merit, so he could only resign from the first merit.

"Don't be modest, sir, how can you have this big victory without your advice." Li Keyong continued, hoping to put the first credit on Yang Deshan.

"Dashuai, there is really no way for a contemptible person to accept such a great achievement, I can't rob the soldiers of the credit that they have exchanged for their blood and lives." Yang Deshan continued to resign, he knew that many soldiers were pointing to the credit to support their families, and the credit earned in exchange for his life could not let himself be "greedy for ink".

"I hope that the commander will give the first credit to the soldiers who died in battle and were seriously wounded, so as to comfort their bravery and fearlessness."

"Good~"

Yang Deshan's words made the generals in the big tent applaud for a while, this Han man can not take credit, just by virtue of this, the Shatuo generals present gave a thumbs up in their hearts and believed in this Han man.

Li Keyong saw that everyone in the big tent was praising Yang Deshan for giving the first credit to the soldiers, and he couldn't provoke a heavy discussion, so he took the opportunity to say: "Okay." Mr.'s righteousness is respected by the people of Shatuo, and since this is the case, then according to Mr.'s words, the first-class merit of the soldiers who died in battle and was seriously injured will be compensated according to the first-class merit. ”

"Xie Dashuai~"

Li Keyong's words made all the Shatuo generals in the big tent happy, and they all thanked Li Keyong for their subordinates.

The first-class merit pension can allow the families of the deceased soldiers to survive in peace for more than ten years, and the marshal's government will provide for their minor children and the elderly.

……

Zhang Ye led his 3,000 troops across the Wei River and came to the logistics camp of the military division Zenghe. All I could see was the corpses that I didn't have time to bury, and all I could hear in my ears was the wails of pain.

"Military advisor, is there Song Shuai's whereabouts?"

When Zhang Ye saw Zeng He, who came out to greet him, he asked Song Zhongqiang's whereabouts in the first sentence.

"Song Shuai's life and death are unknown, I heard the soldiers who fled back say that Song Shuai is under siege, and there is more than luck."

When Zhang Ye heard Zeng He's words, he knew in his heart that Song Zhongqiang might be really lucky this time, but if he didn't see the corpse, there was still a glimmer of hope.

"I hope that Song Shuai can be auspicious, and people have their own natural appearance. Military division, this time His Majesty sent me to reinforce the military division and rescue Song Shuai. I brought my headquarters to join the military division. Zhang Ye told Zeng He, who was at a loss, the purpose of his visit.

Hearing that he was here to reinforce himself, and then there was also a task to rescue Song Zhongqiang, he said: "The life and death of this Song Shuai are uncertain, and now the army has no commander, what should I do?" If Song Zhongqiang is captured, there is still a possibility of rescue, if he really dies in battle? So the main thing for this army now is that someone comes out to lead it? His Majesty didn't order the arrangement, did he? ”

"General Zhang, I wonder if Your Majesty has any other wills to convey?"

Zhang Ye was stunned by Zeng He's words, what is the other will?

"Have I not come with any other purpose? Don't know the needs and intentions of the military advisor? Zhang Ye has a straightforward personality and directly asks the military advisor Zeng He.

"Oh, that's okay, I thought Your Majesty had other arrangements, now there is chaos in the barracks, I hope General Zhang can send troops to assist in reorganizing the army."

When Zhang Ye heard that he was going to reorganize the army, he thought that the military division was preparing to organize the army to fight and rescue Song Shuai, so he happily agreed: "Okay, everything is subject to the arrangement of the military division." ”

……

Pu Jia led his tribal cavalry to ambush on the south bank of the Wei River for three days, and he planned to attack the Huangchao army on both sides according to the previous plan tomorrow, but for some reason he received an order at noon today, so he continued to ambush and wait for orders.

"General, I heard that the commander won a big battle this morning, directly destroying the main force of the thief army." The lieutenant general told Pujia, who was lying in the grass nest, the news he had found out.

Hearing the adjutant general's words, Pu Jia opened his eyes suddenly, turned over and sat up cross-legged. His eyes were fixed on the adjutant, and the adjutant general was flustered and uncomfortable.

"Who did you listen to?"

The adjutant replied, "It was the man who sent the order to us, and when I sent him away, did I ask what was going on in the camp?" He told me that the marshal had followed the tactics of a new gentleman and fought a war of annihilation. ”

"Mr. New Kid? Who is it? ”

"I don't know about this, I heard that Li Cunzhang brought it back, and he seems to be very capable, and he directly predicted that the thief army would steal the camp, and this annihilation battle was from this person......" The deputy general told Pu Jia all the news he knew.

"In this way, this person is still very capable!"

"General, now in the big camp, even the marshal respects him very much. This time, I have to credit the first credit to him, but I heard that he pushed it off later. ”

"What's this man's name?" Pu Jia was curious about this person, so he asked.

"It seems that his name is Yang Deshan, and he is a Han man."

"Han Chinese? Resign from the first credit? Pu Jia fell into thought.

When the deputy general saw that Pu Jia did not speak, as if he was thinking about something, he kept silent and waited.

After a while, the deputy general saw that Pu Jia was still thinking about things, and felt that his squatting legs were a little numb, so he stood up and prepared to wander around and invigorate his blood.

Pu Jia suddenly stood up, startling the lieutenant general who was standing up, Pu Jia said to the lieutenant general: "Pass my military order, reorganize the army, and set off after dinner." ”

The adjutant general hurriedly spoke: "General, where are you going?" ”

"Go and destroy the thieves on the riverside for me."

The adjutant general said in surprise: "The military order of the marshal is to let us wait in place, this?" ”

"The Han people have a saying that 'generals are outside, and the military life is not affected', and they can't miss the opportunity of this great achievement." Pu Jia directly took out the words he learned and disobeyed the military orders to prevaricate the deputy general.

"But, do you want to report it to the marshal? Send troops without authorization, and the commander will kill us. The adjutant general asked worriedly.

"What are you afraid of, I'll carry it if something goes wrong." Pu Jia said arrogantly.

"Yes!" The adjutant general had to comply, but in fact, he also wanted to fight and earn military merits in his heart.

……

That night, Pu Jia led his men to hide on the south bank of the Wei River.

The north wind swept the ground, rushing in all directions, the waning moon in the sky only emitted a faint silver light, the birds and beasts on the earth were nowhere to be seen, the trees were swaying in the wind, and the withered grass was swaying with the wind.

In the woods, in the depression pits, groups of people were densely crowded.

"How many days is it?"

The people of the Puga tribe were dressed in sheepskin felt clothes, and their hands were clasped to their chests, huddled together to keep warm, but the roaring north did not drill seamlessly, and all the people who blew trembled.

"General, it should be the second watch soon."

After hearing the answer, Pu Jia stood up and shouted to his subordinates: "Get up for me, quickly move your hands and feet, and then set off." ”

……

The north wind is cold, the Wei River is cold, and the water is covered with a thick layer of ice.

In the Daqi military camp on the north bank of the Wei River, Zhang Ye, who thought he was going out to rescue Song Zhongqiang, was lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. I thought in my heart: "This day has passed, Song Shuai is in danger nine times out of ten, hey!" The hateful Zeng He just didn't send troops with me to find Song Shuai's whereabouts, and once my 3,000 soldiers and horses were scattered, it would be useless. ”

Zhang Ye, who couldn't sleep, stood up and walked around the tent, thinking of the battle of Tongguan that year, he led his subordinates to guard Tongguan to resist the crazy counterattack of the Tang army, and watched the soldiers around him fall one after another.

Zhang Ye, who felt that he was going to die at Tong Pass, saw Song Zhongqiang leading his soldiers and horses to kill, fighting with the Tang army under the pass, and finally beat the Tang army back who counterattacked. Song Shuai personally led the troops to help, and there were no less than ten wounds on his body, and a wound on his left chest almost killed Song Shuai. The victory in this battle also laid the foundation for the later Daqi to become the ruler of Chang'an.

"Hey, I can't go to find and rescue Song Shuai, I'm ashamed. Song Shuai hopes that you will be safe and sound. Zhang Ye knelt in the big tent and kowtowed three times to the moon.

Zhang Ye, who had finished snorting, stood up, feeling the earth shaking again, thinking that he kowtowed too hard, causing dizziness. Quickly close your eyes and sit on the bed to relax.

After a while, Zhang Ye felt that something was wrong, it was not dizziness, it should be the shock caused by the charge of a large number of cavalry. Quickly picked up his sword, ran out of the tent and shouted: "Enemy attack, hurry up to defend against the enemy." ”

Zhang Ye ran to the tent near him, calling out to the sleeping soldiers. The soldiers slept in a state of ignorance, not knowing what was going on.

The 3,000 cavalry of Pujia had already broken through the camp gate, and seeing that there were only a few patrols, they commanded the scattered soldiers and horses, and asked some of them to burn tents and grain and grass, while the rest went straight to the tent.

The night was full of fire, and the wounded and sick camp, which had been calmed down, wailed in vain, and cursed and complained one after another.

……

In the Shatuo camp, in the handsome tent, Li Keyong, who was wearing a wide white robe, sat on the handsome seat, looked at the generals in the tent, and asked, "Can anyone tell me what's going on?" ”

The camp of the Qi army was stolen by someone, and it was not his own person, so Li Keyong was both surprised and worried. The surprise is that the thief army must have suffered heavy casualties, and the worry is that His Majesty Li Tang has sent other people to compete with him.

There was no one down there.

"Nobody knows? What about scouts? Where's the new scout! Rick yelled.

"Sir, the scout hasn't come back yet. We'll have news in a moment. Sahan, the military advisor, stood up and said.

"It's such a big deal, no one knows what's going on, what is this scout for!"

"Marshal, the scout is back."

"Let him in."

"Marshal Qiyu, it was Pu Jia who led his own headquarters to attack the enemy camp on the riverbank, burning grain, grass and tents."

"Puga? This brute, why didn't you listen to my orders and dare to send troops privately! Someone came to arrest him for me, and he will be dealt with by military law. ”

The Shatuo camp, which was tossed up by Pujia's stealing camp, returned to calm.

……

"Your Majesty, it's not good again, the camp on the south bank has been stolen~"
