"Report, General Dai, the vanguard of the Tang Army has arrived at the predetermined place!" Dai Siyuan pondered, and rode quickly.

Hearing the news, hundreds of soldiers of the Liang Army all stood up at the same time. Everyone knows what this news means for them. The sergeants who stood up looked resolute or hateful or excited, and even indifferent, but without exception, there was a strong bloodthirsty aura in everyone's eyes.

Dai Siyuan slowly stood up and ordered all the soldiers to assemble. Hundreds of soldiers destroyed the makeshift camp, and one after another emerged from the woods and lined up on the avenue. Dai Siyuan got on his horse and paced slowly in front of the military formation, examining the young men in front of him over and over again. The oldest of them was only in their thirties, and the younger ones, some of them were only fourteen or fifteen years old, their robes or rags, but all of them were ruddy and energetic. This is due to the abundant military rations that they have been "recruiting" all along.

Dai Siyuan's eyes were sharp, "In the first battle of Zhongdu, the army of a hundred battles defeated more than 10,000 of my army, the city was taken, the commander was killed, the people were destroyed, the farmland was destroyed, and the homeland was lost!" The Tang army attacked the city for less than half a day, and we had to retreat in a hurry, like a lost dog, 3,000 people went out of the city, and now there are less than half left! When the city was broken, I saw that General Wang Lao was killed in battle, and you and I could only watch from a distance, but we were helpless! This is a great shame, a shame for the beams, a shame for the general, and a shame for each of you! ”

"Today, the vanguard of the Tang Army is lone and deeper, and there are less than 10,000 people in the department, and it has reached our noses! These army of jackals will go and break through your capitals, capture your emperors, rob you of your wealth, rape your wives and daughters, and kill your parents and mothers! They have trampled on your dignity once, and they will crush your dignity again and again, do you promise?! ”

"When the monarch is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed; The puppet was furious, and the blood was splattered in five steps! Now, it is time for you to draw your swords and spears, to vent the anger in your hearts, to reclaim your dignity, to defend your homeland! The Tang army is in front of you, and you are all hot-blooded men, do you dare to fight to the death with this general? ”

"The method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be divided, and the enemy can fight it! This is a tactic of fighting more and fighting less, but today, I am going to show you what it means to fight more with less and win more with less! ”

"In this battle, you will glorify your ancestors and be famous for eternity! Your parents, your wives, your children, you will be proud of you. ”

"With the blood of the Tang Army, sacrifice my spear!"

"Let's go!"

……

Liang Du, big beam.

The Commander's Residence.

Huang Fulin smashed the tea bowl in his hand, got up suddenly, and roared: "Duan Ning, the family dog Xiao'er, how dare you despise the general so much?!" ”

In front of him, standing was the official who had just hurried back from the river to report on Duan Ning's reinforcements. The official shrunk his neck and lowered his head, not daring to look at Huang Fulin, the tea bowl shattered in front of his feet, and the debris was scattered and splashed, hitting his feet and calves, and there was a piercing pain, but he still didn't dare to move a bit, not even the slightest movement, and his face was full of fear of the young general in front of him.

It is this Huang Fulin, who has just been named the general of the Protector of the Country, in the past few days, he has killed more than a dozen officials who did not listen to orders or did not do things effectively, whether the other party was a relative of the emperor or a dignitary, there was no mercy at all, and more than a dozen heads were gone. Afterwards, the big people behind these people came to make trouble and ask for explanations, and before they entered the door, they were beaten out by the devil-like crane army, all of whom were beaten with knife handles, like beating dogs, and I don't know how many bones were broken.

In the end, Huang Fulin just said a word to these people viciously, "When the national disaster is at the head, those who don't think about Kuang Fu Sheji, and dare to steal and play tricks will be regarded as collaborating enemies, and they will be punished for treason, and they will be punished without forgiveness!" ”

In this regard, Emperor Zhu Youzhen surprised everyone, completely standing on the side of Huang Fulin and supporting him behind his back. Since then, no one has dared to challenge Huang Fulin's authority, and no one has dared to perfunctory his assignment.

Under Huang Fulin's iron-fisted means, there was peace in Daliang City, from the current dynasty to the scoundrels in the market, no one dared to talk about the danger of the Great Liang country. Not only that, but some people even found a blood book from the belly of the fish, on which it was clearly written that Huangfulin was the minister of the society, and he should be the main beam and destroy the pseudo-Tang Dynasty! At this point, the internal and external order of the girder is in order, and even the occasional stealing of chickens and dogs on weekdays has disappeared.

A large number of armored sergeants patrolling the streets, day and night, for a time, joining the army to serve the country became the focus of public opinion in Daliang City.

"Duan Ning didn't think that he had the power of the army, so the general would have nothing to do with him? He really thought that Ben would not dare to raze his nine clans, and would not dare to take off the head on his shoulder?! Huang Fulin pointed to the top of his head, "This day is the heaven of Daliang, the heaven of His Majesty, not the heaven of his Duan Ning!" ”

"Yes, yes......"

"If you only seek your own selfish interests and don't care about the world, won't you call yourself a manly man!"

After Huang Fulin said this, he probably remembered something, his face softened, he waved his hand, and ordered the officials in front of him to retreat, and sat back at the desk, contemplating deeply, and his eyes gradually returned to calm. In the middle of the sound, he showed a cruel smile, and said to himself: "Duan Ning, this is your own death, and you can't complain about my Emperor Fulin." After this battle is over, can you, a rebel who does not contribute to the defense of the country, continue to be in charge of the army on the river? Hehe, your 60,000 elite soldiers will be my Huangfulin's subordinates in the future. ”

It didn't take long for him to call the official in charge of recruitment, the so-called secretary of the military department. The military department Shangshu is an old minister over fifty years old, not only old, but also old, he has followed Zhu Wen when he was still the king of Liang, and his prestige in the court is enough for him to say nothing. But at this time, in the face of Huang Fulin, the military department Shangshu could only bend over, bow his body, and show a respectful look.

"How's the recruitment going?" Huang Fulin didn't deliberately despise him, but he didn't deliberately pay attention to what he meant, and asked in a light tone.

"General Huangfu, since the old man presided over the recruitment of troops, a total of 20,392 soldiers have been recruited in the past few days." Bing Shushang Shu carefully said word by word, and when he said this, he seemed to realize that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly added: "But all of them are young and strong men, and none of them are old and weak." After these people heard that General Huangfu was in charge, they all took the initiative to join the army to serve the country, and followed General Huangfu to make meritorious contributions, and their fighting spirit was very high! ”

"Twenty thousand ......," Huang Fulin groaned.

Seeing that Huang Fu Lin did not express his position, the face immediately darkened, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "General Huang Fu, it's not that he is old and doesn't make a difference, it's really ......."

Before he finished speaking, Huang Fulin had already waved his hand, "20,000 people are 20,000 people, and with these people guarding the city, it is enough for 100,000 Tang troops to not be able to go up to the head of the city for half a step!" Lao Shangshu, you should immediately open the treasury now, transfer out the armor, equip these new soldiers, and each of them will be paid three months' salary, but you have to tell them that the Tang army will not retreat and will not be allowed to return home! Ben will arrange additional manpower to use these few days to organize their training, so that they can immediately enter the battle of defending the city. ”

After speaking, he paused, and seeing the hesitation of the military department, Huang Fulin raised his pen and said: "Old Shangshu rest assured, I will not embarrass you, I will immediately start Your Majesty with these things, and ask Your Majesty to issue an order to the Sixth Department." After writing the chapter, I looked up and saw Lao Shangshu still standing in front of him with his waist bowed, and said, "Lao Shangshu can go down." ”

Only then did the military department retreat.

……

Soon after the army set up camp, he received a military report from the pioneer Li Siyuan and his son and Li Shaorong, and after reading it, Li Cunqiao called Guo Chongtao, and handed the general the report to Guo Chongtao, and the two of them talked secretly with candles.

Guo Chongtao read the military report, pondered the deep meaning revealed in it, and saw that Li Cunqiao was not in a hurry to express his position, and said ambiguously: "Wherever the vanguard army went, there were few battles, and the cities along the way basically opened the city and surrendered. The pseudo-Liang officials in various places were wise to protect themselves, which just gave us an opportunity. His Majesty's fifteen years of crusade in the east and west, expanding the territory, and winning many battles and victories have accumulated the general trend, which seems to be enough to make the heroes of the world look sideways. These days, where our army has passed, there are many Liang Chen who have taken the initiative to surrender, and it seems that this battle to destroy Liang has become the general trend. ”

Guo Chongtao's words were half-true, and Li Cunqiao was not so bored as to analyze them sentence by sentence, "The military newspaper of Li Siyuan's father and son is full of mentioning the strange situation on the front line, but after I sent Li Shaorong to rush over, there is no intention of staying, and the progress has been very rapid these days. What does Aiqing think of Li Siyuan's father and son, especially Li Congjing's recital in this dispute? ”

"Li Siyuan's father and son want us to pay attention to the movements of the Liang army on the river to prevent them from sneaking attack, this is an old concern and should be considered. According to the minister's opinion, the rangers can be widely distributed in the direction of the river to monitor the movements of the Liang army on the river. Guo Chongtao said.

"And what about Li Congjing's recital?" Li Cunqiao didn't intend to give Guo Chongtao a chance to play tricks, and asked.

Guo Chongtao pondered for a while, and finally chose to say bluntly, "Li Congjing's request to transfer the Hundred Battles Army to support quickly, although it seems reckless, it is not without purpose. ”

"Oh? Aiqing and elaborate. ”

"Since Li Congjing led the army alone, he has always led a hundred battle troops to fight, and the soldiers are familiar with it, like an arm command, so that they can be invincible. In the battle between Heshang and Wang Yanzhang, at first the ministers were not optimistic that the Hundred Battles Army would win, thinking that as long as they were not defeated too badly, they could hold the military city. But things developed unexpectedly, and Li Congjing's familiarity with his generals and his grasp of the combat strength and hidden potential of each department had reached an amazing point. It is precisely because of his proper scheduling that he has the record of defeating Wang Yanzhang in battle. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Chongtao saw that Li Cunmiao's face was as usual, so he continued: "This time, Li Siyuan's father and son are the vanguard of the army, attacking the city all the way, and they are about to approach the beam. The battle to destroy the country is not trivial, the lone army is deep, the situation is unpredictable, and it is difficult to deal with various situations without an army like an arm. If you go to the Liangdu, in order to deal with the big war, you should indeed send a hundred battle troops to it, if you don't advance, Your Majesty wants to attack the Liangdu in person, then you can go with the army, and make Li Siyuan and his son stop moving forward. ”

Li Cunqiao was silent.

Guo Chongtao gritted his teeth and said: "Li Siyuan father and son, loyalty can be learned, there will never be two hearts, otherwise it is tantamount to self-destruction!" ”

Li Cunqiao glanced at Guo Chongtao deeply.

"Since I sent Li Siyuan and his son as pioneers, I can naturally trust them! I am not Zhu Youzhen, I will not be suspicious of the country's heroes for no reason, if I don't have this open-mindedness, what else will I fight for the world? Li Cun said, "Order: The headquarters of the Hundred Battles Army, set off immediately, travel lightly, day and night, and support the vanguard army!" ”
