Chapter 538: Truth or Truth

Inside and outside the windward village, together with the official road, it has become a huge military camp that is connected, the front and back are the Chu army, and the middle is the surrendered enemy army, because it comes from many countries and the language barrier, it is called the "Hundred Families Army" by the Chu people.

This army only has armor and no weapons, according to the original plan, until the moment before the decisive battle, the weapons will be distributed, most of the original artifacts of these people are scattered, although some are recovered, the number is still far from enough, the need for the Chu army to replenish, as for whether it is used smoothly, it is not considered at all.

At the beginning, the Chu army was small and the hundred armies were many, the two sides were wary of each other, and they were all worried in their hearts, the Chu army was worried that the army would resist, and the army was afraid that the Chu army would kill people and get rid of trouble.

It didn't take long for the Chu army to become more and more numerous, mostly deployed in the rear, and the camps were in patches, with no end in sight, and the vigilance of both sides was reduced a lot.

Only the Chu people themselves know that most of the people in this huge army that suddenly appeared are ordinary people who have been temporarily recruited, and they look majestic from a distance, but when they really arrive on the battlefield, they are afraid that they will not play a big role, and most of the generals are not sure whether they can even let these people rush into the battlefield.

The only person who was confident was the emperor.

Han Ruzi retreated from the complicated honor guards, usually only took more than fifty guards in and out of the barracks, and did not open the way in advance, the soldiers could get out of the way temporarily, in short, he was more like a general who took the lead, rather than the high-ranking Great Chu Tianzi.

He kept making promises, promising generals to be promoted to knighthood, soldiers to be crowned with gold and silver cloth, and civilians to be reduced from their homes...... Four historians followed left and right, and the emperor said as he pleased, and they wrote down as he preached, to show that all this was not unfounded.

On the third day of rushing to the barracks, Han Ruzi went to the camp of the Baijia Army, still with only about 50 guards.

The alien soldiers were even more curious about the Great Chu Emperor, and everywhere Han Ruzi went, everyone watched.

It is more difficult to make promises to these people, and at most it requires the cooperation of five interpreters, but fortunately, Han Ruzi's words are very simple, "Help the gods and ghosts Da Danyu, you will never go home, help Da Chu, and you will be able to reunite with your family soon." ”

Every time they walked through a camp, there were Chu troops who distributed weapons.

Within a few days, the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted, and even the most pessimistic generals in advance had some confidence.

Han Ruzi set up the Chinese military tent in the windward village, and built a wooden watchtower on the edge of the village, when the weather is clear, you can see the open land in the distance, which will be the battlefield.

On the eleventh day of the lunar month, the enemy army arrived and found that there was a large army in front of him, and the enemy army was obviously very surprised, and immediately set up camp dozens of miles away.

Han Ruzi sent a messenger to send a war letter, the content was extremely simple, only four words: tomorrow's decisive battle.

The envoy returned to the camp that night and brought back more than ten heads, all of whom were generals of the Chu army, including Cui Hong and Nan Zhijin.

The military department Shangshu finally had his whereabouts, Cui Teng held his head and cried, vowed to avenge his father, and asked to be a pioneer.

Of course, Han Ruzi couldn't let Cui Tengchong be at the front, and forced him to stay by his side, and the forward sent was still Fan Bangshan.

Fan Bangshan's injuries are still healed, but there is no major problem, he urgently asked to join the war, five times in a day, Han Ruzi finally agreed, "The general is not in this battle, not to break the enemy, but to show the hundred army that I am mighty, and must not rush forward." ”

Han Ruzi was not at ease, so he divided half of his guards to Fan Bangshan, and his only task was to protect the safety of the general.

The second group of troops is the Hundred Army, which will line up in front of the formation and enter the battlefield one by one according to the order.

Although the Chu army lacked real soldiers, there were quite a few military officials, who counted the numbers day and night, and then arranged the troops in formation, and arranged the more than 50 armies properly.

The third group of troops was the Chu army that was temporarily recruited, and there were a lot of them, but Han Ruzi didn't plan to really send them out, the role of these people was to hold the rear and give the front army a little confidence.

Han Ruzi did not reveal his true thoughts to anyone, and the battle plan was still formulated and assigned in detail, so that everyone knew what to do tomorrow.

Han Ruzi ordered the heads of the generals of the Chu army to be sent to a high platform, facing the northern battlefield, so that they could see tomorrow's great victory.

As the night deepened, Han Ruzi feasted the generals in the hall of the village, and there were no tables and chairs, and everyone was standing.

The windward village is not big, the enemy did not have time to completely dismantle it when it passed by for the first time, the hall is still very intact, the torches shine as bright as day, Han Ruzi personally held the wine, toasted three glasses in a row, and said to the Chu general: "The capital is no longer guarded, the people are still on the way east, the Chu army will never retreat, whether it is victory or defeat, it all depends on tomorrow's battle, I hope you will work hard." ”

The generals drank heavily, and Han Ruzi toasted to the generals of the Hundred Families Army, "After all, I want to go home, and if I flee back, I will still fall into the hands of the gods and ghosts, and I will fight back, but I can reunite with my family and get rid of slavery." ”

The cheers of the alien generals were even louder.

The banquet was short, a few glasses of wine were served, everyone took their leave, went back to rest, and prepared for the big battle.

Han Ruzi stayed in the hall, looking at the scattered and broken wine glasses, all he thought about was tomorrow's battle, thinking about every detail, and trying not to have accidents.

If the Hundred Army does not win, the Provisional Army in the rear will have to enter the battle, which is the worst outcome, and the chances of victory are minimal......

Someone walked into the hall, and Han Ruzi saw that it was Cui Teng and Wang He, the leader of the guards.

Han Ruzi sat on the only chair in the hall, the two stepped forward and saluted down the steps, Cui Teng spoke first, "Your Majesty has the final preparations?" ”

"What is the 'final preparation'?"

Cui Teng and Wang He glanced at each other, but Cui Teng spoke, "Tomorrow's victory is unpredictable, if there is a case, the Chu army can block for a while, and Your Majesty can retreat to the Kanto, but you need to arrange the route in advance." ”

Han Ruzi laughed, looked at Wang He, and felt that this was his idea, "Is it unpredictable?" Do you all think like this? ”

Wang He's face was slightly red when he was stared at by the emperor, and he couldn't remain silent anymore, "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and there is never a reason to win." ”

"There is no reason to win, but there is a heart to win. I thought about it for a long time, thinking that the Chu army would win, why? The so-called profit will be lost, the gods and ghosts are victorious in a hundred battles, but they were forced to retreat when attacking the capital, although it is a trick, but it is a big blow to the army's heart. Although the enemy army is strong, it is actually the end of the strong crossbow, and once the sharp is broken, there is no doubt about defeat. The Hundred Army has been oppressed for a long time, and with the heart of going home, it will be able to fight more and more bravely, not to mention that the Chu army is postponed. ”

Cui Teng had already cried for his father, and at this time he only cared about the emperor, and stepped forward and said: "It's these hundred armies, really...... It's not worth believing, they first surrendered to the gods and ghosts Da Dan Yu, and now they have surrendered to Da Chu, so they don't know which side they will stand on before tomorrow's battle. ”

"There is no doubt about employing people, I think the Hundred Families Army is credible."

Cui Teng had nothing to say, and looked at Wang He, "It's better for you to persuade you." ”

Wang He said: "Just in case, Your Majesty should also prepare a back road." ”

"You reminded me and called someone from the military department in."

Wang He quickly called in seven or eight people, and only these officials were left in the military department of the capital, but they were the first layer of buffer for the emperor to issue orders to the whole army.

Han Ruzi issued two orders, one was to order the Chu army in the rear, close the barriers, nail all the gates, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and the other was to send a letter to the generals of the Baijia Army, asking them to take them to the west and hand them over to Deng Cui and Huang Pugong at the right time.

The officials of the military department took the order and left, and Cui Teng and Wang He were dumbfounded.

"I told you earlier." Cui Teng whispered.

Wang He was helpless, and wanted to persuade the emperor to prepare a way back, but the emperor blocked the only way.

The two of them retired, but Han Ruzi did not allow it, "Stay and have a few drinks with me." ”

There was wine, but the cups were not very complete, Cui Teng found two, gave one to Wang He, one for himself, and carefully wiped them with his sleeve.

Wang He brought the wine jar and poured wine for the emperor first, then Cui Teng, and finally himself.

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "There are no monarchs and ministers here tonight, you and I drink hard, there is no need to be formal." ”

Wang He drank politely, but Cui Teng took the emperor's words seriously, drank a few glasses, and said loudly: "Happy, it's a pity that the king of the East China Sea is not here, and I don't know if he is still alive." ”

"If he is not in the head of the person who is sent back, he is still alive."

Thinking of his father's death, Cui Teng was sad and angry, drank three glasses in a row again, and did not need Wang He to pour wine, he poured himself a drink with the wine jar, and was three points drunk, and asked: "Why didn't Your Majesty send me to take the lead?" ”

"Because you're not Fan Bangshan." Han Ruzi replied very directly.

Fan Bangshan is famous, not only the Chu army, but also the hundred army know that he is an invincible general, Cui Teng is naturally inferior, but he is not convinced, "Let me be General Fan's follower, lest someone say in the future that I am cowardly and will not take revenge." ”

"There's a time for you to fight." Han Ruzi drank two glasses, "You don't have to always think about tomorrow's big battle and say something else." ”

Wang He didn't squeak, but Cui Teng's drunkenness was even more obvious, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Your Majesty wants to hear my sincere words?" ”

"Of course."

Cui Teng pondered for a moment, "My brother died in the army, but he asked for it, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, my father died at the hands of the enemy, but it was his own carelessness, and he can't complain about His Majesty, Xiaojun's sister is deeply favored by His Majesty, and there is nothing to say, Cui Zhao was sent to the Huns by His Majesty, and now that I think about it, it may be a good thing for her, as for cutting officials and winning the title, I don't care, there is only one thing, I am obsessed, not at a time like today, I will never say it." ”

Wang Helian made a look, Cui Tengquan didn't see it, stared at the emperor, and said: "Zhang Qinyan is an assassin, but she died, I really feel heartache, even now, my heart is still hurting." ”

"What do you need me to do?" Han Ruzi asked.

Cui Teng sighed, poured himself another glass, raised it and said: "No, it's much better to say it, I am always cautious in front of Your Majesty, pretending not to care about anything, and being able to tell the truth is Your Majesty's greatest grace." ”

Han Ruzi laughed and picked up the cup as well, Wang He immediately came over to pour the wine, "Okay, I will punish myself with a glass." ”

Han Ruzi was about to raise his glass and drink, when an official of the military department hurriedly ran in, panicked, and didn't even kneel, "It's not a good thing, the hundred armies have rebelled!" ”

Cui Teng threw away the wine glass, turned around and was about to rush out, Han Ruzi shouted: "Cui Teng stays." Then he said to the officials: "Is the whole army rebelling, or is it the whole army making trouble?" ”

The official was stunned for a moment, "It's not clear." ”

"So what's there to be afraid of? The Hundred Families Army has its own generals, wait for them to report the news, come to see me again, go down. ”

The official was a little relieved, but he was still not steady, "Don't you need to send someone to check the situation?" ”

"You should go to sleep, you should be on duty all night, and no one should act rashly." Han Ruzi paused for a moment and drank the wine in the cup, "Let's all retreat, I will also rest." ”

There was a faint shout in the distance, but Han Ruzi yawned and looked tired. (To be continued.) )
