"I think I was the ancestor of the dynasty, heroic, majestic and heroic, leveling the eight wildernesses, sweeping the Liuhe, Hun a universe, and recreating a peaceful and prosperous era for 600 years. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info 33 anti-kings in the inner peace, sweeping the thirteen major tribes of the Xiongnu Khanate in the north, winning the country, unprecedented. The establishment of the Pingzhou Dynasty, the ability of Taizu to govern the culture, the prosperity of Kaiping lasted for 80 years, and it was unprecedented. I don't want the younger generations to be so incompetent, these 600 years of good rivers and mountains will be destroyed overnight. "Old Doctor Sun has been in a bad mood these days, and he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and he couldn't help but start to ramble again after drinking too much.

Sitting next to him was Li Deyi, who could sweat a lot in the autumn and was busy practicing Chinese and calligraphy, but he didn't understand Grandpa Sun's mood at this time, so he raised his head and whispered to Doctor Liu: "What's going on with Grandpa Sun these days, he gets drunk every day, and he keeps muttering these words back and forth in his mouth." As soon as Medical Officer Xiao Liu was about to speak, a soldier came to report at the door: "The three generals have invited Sun Junshi to discuss the matter." ”

The old medical officer Sun, who was still drunk just now, suddenly regained his clarity, his eyes became bright and transparent again, he got up and walked out of the door quickly, and went straight to the staff camp. Li De was stunned: "It turns out that you are not really drunk." Doctor Liu next to him quipped: "Silly boy, when you practice to the master's realm, how can you get drunk, it's just to drink to drown your sorrows." Let's go, Master has ordered, in the future, all staff discussions will be called to join you. ”

Li Deyi hurriedly rushed to the staff camp with Medical Officer Xiao Liu, entered the door, and saw that the three General and Old Medical Officer Sun were all frowning, their faces were worried, and the four of them were staring at the sand table and thinking hard. The atmosphere in the tent was extremely solemn, Li Deyi didn't dare to breathe loudly, held his breath and cautiously walked to the side of Old Medical Officer Sun.

Among the four, Li Jiang was unable to stand for a long time after recovering from his serious injury, sighed, and sat down on the chair behind him, his eyes scattered and his face bitter. Old Doctor Sun also couldn't help but sigh sadly. Li Deyi saw that the situation was not right, and he didn't dare to ask questions, so he had to stare at the sand table tightly, hoping to see something.

After half an hour, Old Medical Officer Sun suddenly asked Li Deyi, "What do you see?" Everyone didn't expect that Old Master Sun would ask Li Deyi first, and they all threw curious glances at him for a while. Li De was a small person, and he couldn't understand the meaning of these eyes, so he replied in a daze: "I see that you are all staring at this big city." Now the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tuliao people are surrounding this city, I feel that this city is not easy to defend, but it is autumn, if it can be delayed for two months until it snows, then it is a problem to make a fire and eat on this side of the siege outside the city, maybe it can be defended, right? Li Deyi hesitated, and his voice was quiet. Old Medical Officer Sun nodded, and beckoned Medical Officer Xiao Liu: "Apprentice, you tell him, the teacher is not in good spirits today." ”

Medical Officer Xiao Liu was also not polite, and stretched out his hand: "Master, what about the latest military information?" Old Medical Officer Sun had a serious face, took out a small paper scroll from his arms and handed it to his apprentice. After quickly scanning the note a few times, Doctor Liu's face became as serious as that of his master, and he began to explain Li Deyi on the sand table.

"The battle is indeed stalemate, although the defending side has suffered heavy casualties, after all, the high walls of Zhongshen City are thick, and it can barely hold on to it with this advantage." As Dr. Liu spoke, Li Deyi nodded from time to time and listened carefully. Seeing that he was listening carefully, Dr. Liu continued to speak carefully for him: "In the first seven days, the Tuliao people attacked the city very fiercely, relying on the new type of explosive arrows to inflict heavy damage on the soldiers defending the city, and even climbed to the top of the city several times, but they were all repelled by the old general Shuai Jun himself. ”

"According to the military intelligence sent by the Flying Eagle, it is estimated that the casualties of the defenders are close to 50,000, the Tuliao slave soldiers are killed and wounded more than 10,000, and the elite under the command of the Golden Horde has ascended the city three times, and there are only more than 2,000 casualties." Swallowing his saliva, Xiao Liu Medical Officer continued: "This time the Beijing division was surrounded suddenly, and the Tuliao people came unexpectedly fast, and only the old general of the Qin King successfully entered the city all the way, and it was thanks to the desperate battle of the general that the old general led the army into the city to drag out the time. The rest of the Qinwang soldiers and horses were sniped and killed outside the city by the Tuliao people, and most of the men and horses were directly beaten and scattered by the Tuliao people. Counting the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, there are more than 70,000 men and horses, and the casualties of these 50,000 must not be soldiers. Of the 50,000 dead and wounded, the people were probably more than 30,000, and the casualties among the soldiers of the Beijing division were acceptable. ”

After taking a breath, Doctor Xiao Liu continued, "The Tuliao people suddenly entered the Central Plains this time, and the soldiers surrounded the Beijing Division, and the incident happened suddenly. Judging from the intelligence collected these days, the Tuliao people did not expect such a smooth situation in advance, so they were bound to be underprepared for grain and grass, and most of them relied on looting local supplies. The North Gate Pass is thousands of miles away from the Beijing Division, and the small town of Dingbei is located in the west of the North Gate Pass, more than 400 miles away from the North Gate Pass. ”

As soon as Li De heard that more than 30,000 people had been killed or injured here, he was distracted, thinking of his father who was forcibly conscripted by Minzhuang when he was three years old and never returned. "Maybe my father also encountered this kind of big war back then, so he died on the battlefield." He thought to himself. In this kind of war, the lives of ordinary people are really worse than chickens and dogs, they were caught by the Tuliao people, used as sandbags to fill the river and attack the city, and were requisitioned by officers and soldiers, but they were just substitute ghosts when defending the city. Li Deyi was sad in his heart, "If it weren't for the fact that I entered this Weibei camp by chance and worshiped the old doctor Sun, I can't say that I can't be the same as my father, that is, a dead and injured people." No, it's thanks to the third grandfather that he left a little incense back then, otherwise why would I have been retained by Weibei Revenue. ”

"The problem of the Tuliao people now is only that there is a shortage of food and grass, if they can't quickly capture Zhongshen City, when it snows, the heavy snow will close the road, and it will be more difficult to collect food from all around, and then they can only choose to retreat. And the problem with our country is that we are in a hurry, and we don't have time to arm. Since his accession to the throne, His Majesty has had many constraints on the military ministers, and the old generals who want to defend the city are also heavily restrained by the civil ministers, and they have no place to make them, so they can only defend and delay time. The current situation is that the Tuliao people cannot be delayed, and it is very difficult for me to defend the city. As soon as the heavy snow arrives this year, according to the temperament of His Majesty today, most of the people will sign an alliance with the Tuliao people and negotiate peace with the Tuliao people. Doctor Xiao Liu made the final decision and said his judgment.

Old Medical Officer Sun nodded again and again, and said to Li Deyi: "Deyi, if you have any ideas, tell me about it." "Huh!?" Li Deyi was distracted, and was stunned by the question, so he had to frown and reluctantly reply: "This court is in charge of collecting taxes from these honest dealers on weekdays, urging us to serve all kinds of forced labor, and in wartime, we are actually forced to go to the battlefield as unarmed people. So many people died this time, and my father estimated that he would die like this back then. The taxes collected by the imperial court and the forced servitude were not left behind, but the court took the money but did not do anything, and they couldn't keep the pass, so that the Tuliao people were killed in the pass, and there was only one left of us who was killed. I have nothing to say about the siege of the Beijing division this time, what does it have to do with the victory or defeat of me? I only pity those people who died in vain, and pity those children who are as broken as me. ”

The more Li Deyi spoke, the more angry he became, and finally shouted loudly: "As soon as the Jingshi is broken, it is not us ordinary people who die the most. With that, he sat down with a huff, panting heavily, and said no more.

Old Doctor Sun's eyes flashed, and he asked, "If it depends on you, what should I do?" "Me? I'm nothing now, and I don't have the ability, I can't do anything......" Li Deyi's voice lowered, revealing helplessness. A ten-year-old child has already experienced such ups and downs and tribulations. Old Medical Officer Sun didn't scold Li Deyi, but just relieved: "Well, I'm not stupid, I know that I can't do anything if I don't have the ability." When you go back, you can think more about what to do in your free time. The people in the tent began to discuss the current situation, and Li Deyi felt that the buzzing voice lingered in his ears, but it had nothing to do with him, and he was alone.

At the end of the meeting, Li Deyi walked all the way back to the tent with his head bored, sat down at the table and began to learn words hard. Doctor Liu looked at him for a while and asked, "You figured this out?" In the past, you were the most painful to learn words, and you didn't want to learn more than a moment, how did you get up today? Li De didn't raise his head, and replied in a muffled voice: "I don't know, I just think that I should have memorized all the words earlier, so that I could start cultivating the original qi as soon as possible." But I looked at the old medical officer Sun's great ability, and I couldn't just look at the military situation in the military newspaper and be anxious. I don't know how useful it can be to learn like this, it's better than not having the ability, right? There was hesitation in his tone.

Doctor Xiao Liu raised his hand and slapped Li De's head, interrupting the child's useless sorrow, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, first learn the skills you can learn, and then talk about it, and teach you a few more words every day from today." ”

Before I knew it, a month had passed. Li Deyi had an extremely fulfilling month, he got up before dawn in the morning, went to the Huotou camp to help Wang Da Fat kill sheep, cut mutton, and eat breakfast with mutton by the way, and then returned to the wounded barracks to start reviewing the words he learned yesterday. I studied for an hour in the morning, and the rest of the time helped Dr. Xiao Liu tidy up the hygiene of the wounded barracks. In the entire barracks, the camp for wounded soldiers has the strictest hygiene requirements, and the work is also the most tiring. After eating, I followed Dr. Xiao Liu to learn new words in the afternoon, and practiced the knife skills taught by the third grandfather a few times before dinner.

When it was evening, I went to listen to Grandpa Sun talk about the previous war. Li Deyi privately felt that Grandpa Sun spoke much better than the third grandfather, and it was still very useful to be more literate at this time. When the third grandfather talks about fighting, there are always two or three sets, or the big guys rush up, each fights hard, and then wins. Either his old man came up with an idea, took the big guy around behind the enemy, poured some curtain, and then won. Grandpa Sun talked in much more detail, how to reconnoiter the enemy's situation before the war, how to observe the terrain and landforms, how to grasp the changes in the weather, how to judge the rain, snow and wind, how to boost morale, how to set up tactics, how to command in wartime, and so on.

Li De is a small person, he is in a time of not knowing sorrow, and he is living an extremely fulfilling life every day, but he doesn't notice that the atmosphere in the entire military camp has been low for a month, and no one has a smile on everyone's face.

The autumn wind is blowing stronger day by day, and the autumn rain is getting cooler and cooler. Today's Northern style is extraordinary, bringing heavy black clouds to weigh heavily over the city. Old Medical Officer Sun stood at the head of the city, looked at the direction of the Divine City in the Jingshi, and muttered to himself: "The Jingshi has been besieged for nearly two months, and it should be clear whether the city is broken or not in the next few days." On the ground, Dr. Liu shouted: "It's thundering, it's raining to collect clothes, Master, come down quickly, be careful that your old cold legs are drenched in the rain, and they are about to have a seizure again!" Old Doctor Sun looked at his little apprentice with tears and laughter, and slowly walked down the city.

Old Medical Officer Sun came to the little apprentice's side, and Zhengse instructed the little apprentice: "Count the days, there should be a military intelligence from the Jingshi sent recently, you go to the camp gate to guard, if you arrive, report to me immediately." Doctor Liu raised his head and looked at the sky: "Master, it will snow later, can you bear to let your apprentice and I wait stupidly in the first snow of the year." The old medical officer Sun was about to fight, and the little apprentice hurriedly ran to the camp, shouting as he ran: "Master, I'll go to Wang Da Fatzi's place to get a pot of hot wine to warm your body." "Doctor Xiao Liu has been looking at the old man of the master for more than a month without a smile, and he deliberately entertains his relatives in colorful clothes, making a fuss to make the master change his mood.

The cold wind blew the first snowflakes and slowly fell to the ground, and a black spot suddenly appeared in the sky and swirled and fell in the snowflakes, and it was a letter eagle that fell from the sky, fluttering its wings and landing in the Weibei military camp.

Han shook his hands and untied the small tube tied to the eagle's legs. I took it in my hand and checked it, this half-finger-long, chopstick-thick tube seemed to weigh a thousand gold, Han Jiang always held this copper tube in his hand, and he trembled when he walked. hurried back to the staff camp all the way, and as soon as he entered the tent gate, there were two generals and old medical officers in it, and the eyes of the three of them were directly focused on the small tube in the hands of General Han Jiang.

Han put the thin copper cylinder in his hand on the table, "Which of you will read it?" The tent suddenly fell silent, and the four of them sat around the table, their eight eyes staring at the small tube, and no one was willing to make the first move. In the end, Dr. Xiao Liu, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, took two steps forward, reached out and picked up the small tube, unscrewed it, and took out the small paper roll inside.

Medical Officer Xiao Liu opened the note and glanced at it quickly, and read in a low voice: "There are more than 100,000 casualties among the soldiers and civilians in Beijing, and the casualties of the Tuliao people are unknown. After the Tuliao people ran out of arrows, the Beijing division defended. The peace faction ran around. After reading it, he slowly put the note on the table and stood back without saying a word.

After a long time, Li Jiang always said in a trembling voice: "The matter has come to this, everyone, go back." "Han, Qian, the two generals, and the old doctor Sun all stood up in silence and walked out of the tent. Old Doctor Sun walked out of the tent, was blown by the cold wind, and actually hit a stumble, if it wasn't for the quick help of Medical Officer Liu, he would have fallen to the ground.

In the Divine City in the Beijing Division, the old general stood at the head of the city facing the cold wind, his white hair dancing with the whistling north wind, his eyes were bloodshot, and his upright body could not hide the haggard face of his old man. Behind him, Ran Tuhu, Wei Chi Yong, and two up-and-coming young generals followed closely on both sides. The city wall has been damaged in several places, and the people are carrying corpses and wounded back and forth. There were blood stains everywhere, and the cold wind that whistled over couldn't suppress the heavy bloody breath and choked into people's hearts and lungs. There were bold soldiers patrolling back and forth at the head of the city, and when they encountered a Turk who was not dead, they went up and stabbed them.

After these days of bloody battles, the three walls of Zhongshen City have been stained red with blood, and from a distance, it looks like the imperial city made of red bricks in the middle.

Ran Tuhu opened his mouth and said: "This should be the last time the Tuliao people attack the city today, the Tuliao people are not good at this kind of hard-fought siege method, and they are even more powerless to attack the city after dark, so they can only shoot rockets to harass them." ”

The old general analyzed the battle situation to the two young generals in a tired voice: "The Tuliao people have been attacking the city for days, and those who have landed in the city in recent days are only wearing cotton armor or even no armor, and it must be those small tribes of Tuliao who were forced to come up and die by the Golden Horde to consume the strength of our army." You two look at this black cloud is so thick, if I expect it to be good, it will snow in the near future, and the various departments of Tuliao are already full of contradictions, and this time they can work together to attack the city is expected to be able to loot after breaking the city in one fell swoop, so as to supplement the loss of the siege of each department. Now that the siege has been frustrated, the tribes are bound to quarrel, and the Golden Horde will definitely take the opportunity to consume the strength of the small tribes, and those small tribes will inevitably use the snow as an excuse to demand to return to the grassland. ”

"I can't let the Tuliao people leave so cheaply, and at the end of the day, I will take people to attack and kill, and come back with more heads." "The last general is willing to go with him." The two who already had official bodies said in unison.

"I'm afraid it won't be as you two want." The old general sighed, "To tell you the truth, the lord of the DPRK and the ministers of the faction have made a lot of trouble recently, and His Majesty has also been shaken. There are even more officials who have participated in the old man's defense of the city many times, and he is already fabricating charges to take down the old man. ”

"Ahh The two of them were taken aback when they heard this, "Old general, this!!" The brothers suffered so many casualties, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of our dynasty died under the city, and every inch of the bricks and stones on this city wall were soaked in the blood of the brothers, but now we want to negotiate peace?! And to put the old general in prison? The blood of more than 100,000 of our soldiers and civilians was shed in vain? Just let the Tuliao people withdraw safely? Ran Tuhu said in a lost voice.

"The blood of more than 100,000 people is so white? The last general saw that the Tuliao people under the city were already exhausted, and when they retreated, they avoided the elite and raided their weakness, and they would definitely be able to hit the Tuliao people in one fell swoop. Wei Chiyong couldn't help but roar.

"Hey, the blood and bones of 100,000 soldiers and civilians have set a precedent for our dynasty to negotiate peace with the barbarians...... I don't know what Taizu will think of the spirit in the sky......" The old general was speechless at this time.

In the imperial city, the Son of Heaven was receiving a young official, and the green-shirted official knelt on the ground and replied loudly: "If Your Majesty uses the strategy of his ministers, he will be able to break through Beiping in five years, and he will be ashamed of today!" ”
