"The wind rises!" The person who came hurriedly replied to the exit order, "Cloud gathering!" As soon as he heard the password, the soldiers on the garrison stepped forward to talk. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "I'm Liu Wuchang, Han sent me back to explore the way, we have got the first batch of sheep on the grassland, there are thousands, have you opened your way?" Two days later, this batch of sheep will enter Qingyuan Mountain. The money was always returned: "You go back and let Lao Han rest assured, the road will definitely be open in two days, and we will be ready to work day and night in the next two days." You can't enter the city tonight, I'll ask them to pour a tent for you to rest, and you can go back tomorrow morning to report to Lao Han. Wang Zhuangbiao, take two cakes, and take out a piece of the jerky you hid for Liu Wuchang, it's not easy to go all the way to this trip. "Yes!" The big fat man happily agreed, "So there will be sheep in two days?!" Thousands, this is a big deal, this year's grassland is really fat. The two fan-sized hands kept rubbing back and forth, and the flesh on his face was trembling excitedly.

In the city, in the camp of wounded soldiers, a little light flickered. This light is not bright, it looks like it will go out at any moment, but it is enough to illuminate the entire military tent. The old medical officer Sun was drunk, but he grabbed the apprentice's wrist tightly, and asked over and over again: "Apprentice, you say, will Your Majesty be tough once, not bow to the Tuliao people, and not sign this alliance under the city?" Doctor Xiao Liu pursed his lips tightly and refused to answer again, with a grim expression on his face. After all, the old doctor Sun is old, and in addition to the fact that he has worked hard in the army for all these years, he has not been able to recuperate well, and now his body is getting weaker and weaker by injuries and diseases, and he will fall asleep after a while.

When the sky was bright, the people who were cutting wood outside the city returned to the city. Although everyone was tired after a night's work, everyone had a smile on their faces. After a while, you will be able to drink hot mutton soup, and everyone will carry a bundle of firewood, and they will still carry bread in their arms, can you not be happy? Li Deyi didn't even drink a sip of hot soup this time, so he rushed back to the wounded barracks, and the whole person was straight and crooked on the bed, and fell asleep.

As soon as he woke up, Li Deyi was confused, and suddenly he smelled a burst of mutton in his nose, and the hunger in his stomach directly woke people up completely. Looking around, I found that there were two cakes and a bowl of mutton on the table at some point, and the word 'eat' was written. Li Deyi threw himself in front of the table, shook off his cheeks and ate violently, and after eating, Li Deyi noticed that there were still a few pieces of paper and a calligraphy on the table next to him, and meticulously washed his hands, Li Deyi sat down at the table and began to practice calligraphy.

In the past two days, there has been mutton to eat, and occasionally you can eat a white bun, the first time you grow so big and eat so well, Li Deyi didn't say anything, he knew it in his heart. This must have been arranged by Grandpa Sun for himself, and the child's heart felt warm and practiced more and more seriously.

In the blink of an eye, two days flew by. Li Deyi remembered clearly that the first batch of sheep was about to arrive tonight, and the mountain path was opened today, connecting Dingbei County all the way to the north of Qingyuan Mountain. In a forest on the north side of Qingyuan Mountain, the people who cut wood gather here, waiting for outsiders or sheep from outside the forest. Beyond the forest is a grassland that stretches as far as the eye can see, and the grass is more than half a man's height.

Qian ordered everyone to rest in place, and he took a few soldiers to squat outside the forest to stand guard. The people knew that this was a critical time, and they held their breath one by one, and they didn't dare to breathe. Nearly 200 people waited silently, and the silent forest became more and more quiet, and the silence made people panic.

The silent wait did not last long, and suddenly someone smelled the smell of sheep, and first the soldiers who were guarding outside the forest stood up, looked up at the meadow, and then from the outside to the inside, everyone stood up and looked out of the forest.

A sheep took the lead in arching the half-man-high grass, showing its shape, and then more and more sheep came out of the grassland, from a high altitude, one by one white dots slowly gathered, forming a large white cloud on the grass.

Qian talked to the three soldiers who were driving the sheep, and these three people and two horses, needless to say, were all stolen from the Tuliao people. Wang Zhuangbiao grinned and ordered people to get out of the way and drive the sheep into the forest. Thousands of sheep, as long as the first sheep is driven into the forest, the other sheep will follow up without any trouble. The soldiers in the woods walked along the path out of the woods, holding torches. The way back was to lead the team, and Wang Zhuangbiao took a dozen soldiers to stay in the forest near the grassland in the north and continue to guard, waiting to pick up the brothers behind. Minzhuang, who worked at night, also helped drive the sheep back. Along the way, everyone didn't speak, and they were busy hurrying and driving sheep. Li Deyi looked at the people around him, although they didn't speak, they all had a smile on their faces, and the smile was the same as that of the farmer who had harvested grain in the autumn of the village. Li Deyi looked at it and felt that this smile was a bit dazzling, and the Tuliao people who came to fight the grass valley also had this kind of smile on their faces. Shivering all over, Li Deyi didn't dare to think about it anymore. Hurry up to keep up with the team, with a smile on his face, and rush to the city overnight.

Li De drove the sheep on the side, and his heart was also beautiful, so many sheep, open to eat, and he couldn't finish eating, so he didn't have to starve this winter. The silly boy is just thinking that so many sheep are enough for himself to eat......

In the wounded barracks in the city, Old Medical Officer Sun had just received the latest military information from him, and called out to his apprentice: "I'm old, and I've been dizzy recently, you can help me take a look." "Master, you have cultivated to the gods, and I can't bear to look at it and say it directly." The little apprentice revealed the master's thoughts, took the note and began to read: "The soldiers besieged the capital, filled the trenches with the people, and killed and injured countless people. The city was not broken, and King Qin's soldiers and horses cowered. After hearing this, the old doctor Sun burst into tears: "The moat in the capital is more than ten zhang wide, how many people will have to die to fill it!" Your Majesty, do you dare to go up to the city and see how your people are dying miserably? Now, Your Majesty, can you have a trace of repentance? Old Doctor Sun stood up, dressed upright, and shook his head in the direction of the capital, and tears in his eyes spilled on the ground.

"Master, you ask knowingly, your majesty has never attended the Fuguo Military Academy created by Taizu himself, and he is not familiar with military affairs. is even more timid as a mouse, only knows pleasure, and the appointed ministers are kowtow worms who listen to him, how dare they go to the city to watch the battle? As for the life and death of the people, the current Son of Heaven has been given 13 times since he ascended the throne 20 years ago. As a result, countless people have broken their homes, and there are even those who planted grass and sold their sons and daughters. Can the Son of Heaven stop raising taxes? Master, wake up, this is a complete faint king. The little apprentice's face was full of grief and indignation, and his throat was choked.

"How can you not know as a teacher, how can you not know. It is the 600-year-old inheritance of my Pingzhou Dynasty that is crying for my teacher, and now it is dead at the hands of ignorant fools. I think Taizu was wise and martial back then, and he raised the three-foot Qingfeng in the troubled times, and with the spear army formation created by himself, he swept away the princes of the eight directions, united the universe, and recreated peace. He also personally made stirrups and horseshoes, and since then I have been fighting the cavalry of the Zhou Dynasty and the steppe barbarian cavalry has been holding the head of the rat. In this way, the northern barbarians who had occupied the Central Plains for a hundred years were expelled, and the Pingzhou Dynasty was established, and then the troops went out of the fortress to destroy the once powerful Xiongnu Khanate. After conquering the barbarians from all directions and sweeping away countless Hulu, the grassland barbarians began to call Taizu the Heavenly Khan. ”

After taking a breath, the old medical officer Sun continued to nag about Taizu's great achievements, "After Taizu swept the world, he returned to the dynasty to create the Fuguo Military Academy and served as the principal. In political affairs, it is also far-sighted, pioneering the separation of powers, separating military and political affairs, strictly prohibiting military interference in politics, and civilian commanding the army. Such a kind of wise decision-making, open a prosperous era unseen in a thousand years, protect the peace of the world for hundreds of years, and all countries will come to the dynasty. never thought that the younger generations would do nonsense, so Taizu's life's hard work was put into waste. The more Dr. Sun spoke, the louder his voice became, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. When Dr. Liu saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly stepped forward to support the master and helped the master to lie down on the bed. Turning around, he looked for a tranquilizing medicinal wine, "Master, drink some wine and rest, you're too tired these days." Old Doctor Sun drank the medicinal wine, chattered for a while, and fell asleep after a while.

Seeing that the master was sleeping peacefully, Medical Officer Xiao Liu turned around and walked to the table and sat down, and began to sort out the military reports of these days one by one, from the Tuliao people breaking the North Gate Pass, to the soldiers coming to the Remnant Yang Pass, and breaking the Remnant Yang Pass to besiege the Beijing Division. Listed by day, it took only a little more than a month to count the days. "North Gate Pass to Beijing Division, thousands of miles away, the cavalry of the Tuliao people to move forward day and night for half a month, six or seven passes on the way, Beimen Pass, Dasan Pass, and Remnant Yang Pass, the Tuliao people actually took only more than a month to capture them all!" Gasping, Medical Officer Xiao Liu secretly thought: "The Tuliao people's siege this time is as fast as lightning, and there are many 'explosive arrows' skills, I am caught off guard, and the casualties must be great." With the current appearance of our Korean army, such a large casualty will definitely scatter and flee immediately, where can it still stop the Tuliao people from moving south. Having said that, the soldiers and horses of the world have become more and more unbearable in recent years, and they have long been rotten to the core, and it is not surprising that His Majesty has sent many civilian officials and leading troops who are not familiar with military affairs, and they have been defeated so quickly. "At this moment, the little light in the wounded barracks kept swaying with the cold wind blowing into the camp tent, and it seemed that it would go out at any moment.

Li Deyi followed the brigade to drive the sheep, and came to the city with a beautiful look, although it was late at night, because there was a discussion, the west city gate was not closed, and the magistrate took several officials to wait here, and even people took the sheep around the west gate and began to enter the city. After entering the city, the county commander took the people to divide the part of the sheep that had been agreed in advance, and the rest was slaughtered on the spot in the barracks. For a while, the smell of sheep mixed with blood in the barracks permeated. When he arrived at the place, the sergeant who had been arranged came over to personally guide Li Deyi to learn to kill sheep, which was also arranged by the old doctor Sun, in order to let Li Deyi see the blood at first sight.

The first time he killed a sheep, he stabbed it with a knife, and Li Deyi was splashed with sheep's blood, although he was so frightened that his legs and stomach swirled, he didn't fall down on the spot. At this time, the sky was almost bright, and the sergeants in charge of the palace in the mountains and forests also returned to the barracks one after another, and the Huotou battalion also began to make breakfast, and made mutton bone soup from local materials. Those people who followed the Weibei camp into the mountains to cut wood, today each of them got a bowl of broth with mutton bones, many Minzhuang were reluctant to eat, took out the mutton bones from the bowl secretly, dried the mutton soup attached to it with their mouths, and then put it into their arms, planning to take it back to their parents, wives and children to taste.

Li Deyi naturally has a small stove, as usual, a big bowl of mutton soup with meat, and a few cakes, and eats a beautiful meal. After eating, wiping his mouth, Li Deyi was about to fall asleep, and Medical Officer Xiao Liu came over, still holding a bow in his hand, "From now on, you will have to practice archery every day, and you won't be able to shoot archery in the future when you fight with the Tuliao people, this is a stone bow specially prepared for you, which is used for practice on weekdays." Li Deyi listened patiently, and as soon as Dr. Liu left, he suddenly fell asleep, jumped up from the bed, held the bow in both hands and looked at it carefully, the more he looked, the happier he became, and he laughed unconsciously. Li Deyi was overjoyed, but after all, he was a child, and he couldn't resist sleepiness, so he actually fell asleep with a bow in his hand in the end.

Medical Officer Xiao Liu came back from outside the camp, looked at Li Deyi's sleeping image, shook his head, and took the bow out of Li Deyi's arms with a smile. "I'm not afraid of breaking the strings." Turned around and gave Li De a bow and hung it on the wall.

In the next ten days, flocks of sheep were driven into the Weibei camp every few days. The Weibei camp suddenly became lively, and the smell of sheep and blood permeated the entire camp, and the people in the whole camp mobilized to help kill the sheep. The sheepskin was plucked and hung in the sun to dry in the winter to make a thick leather jacket, which kept warm and could defend oneself, and the mutton was hung in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and the sheep was first opened to the soldiers when they went into the water.

In the end, the soldiers who went out to fight the Liao people in the grass valley came back and were warmly welcomed by the soldiers in the camp like heroes. When the firehead brings sheep blood sausage and lamb stew to these heroes. The heroes changed their faces one by one, and waved their hands again and again saying that they had vomited from eating mutton these days, and strongly demanded that they be replaced with the crooked cakes and pickles they usually eat.

The whole Weibei camp was bustling, and everyone was happy that they had enough to eat this winter.

Jingshi, the whistling autumn wind has dried the blood stains on the city, and a gray-bearded veteran is tightly wrapped in a cloak, observing the movements of the Tuliao people under the city in isolation. Not long after, a personal guard came to his side, "Old general, the gold juice and equipment for defending the city today are complete, please check." The veteran waved his hand excitedly, "No need, you can check it for me." I'll observe the situation of the Tuliao people for a while, and you go down first. The pro-soldier hurried away with the order, passing by an official in a red bullfighting suit, and in his hurry, the pro-soldier seemed to have deliberately forgotten to salute. The official didn't care, walked straight forward, came to the veteran's side, arched his hand, and said loudly: "I have learned about my brother's affairs, and I mourn." The veteran turned around and saluted, "In order to cover the army into the city, the younger brother led the troops alone to deal with the Tuliao army, although the soldiers were defeated and died, but although they died, they were still honored, and they were worthy of being the children of my family!" Worthy of my ancestors. He turned his head away and didn't want to say anything more.

The person who came had no choice but to take the initiative to take two steps forward, stood side by side with the old general, and said: "The princes of the court and the central government are afraid of the Tuliao people like tigers, and they dare not open the city gate to receive the small seed Jinglu into the city, resulting in the tragic death of the small seed Jinglu under the city gate, and the 10,000 western soldiers and horses under the command were also completely defeated by the Tuliao people. This matter is indeed the fault of the court and the court, but now the life and death of the people in the city are tied to the old Jingluo, and I hope that the old Jingluo will try his best to guard the city regardless of his previous suspicions. "Wang Fuhe, the old man respects you as the only soldier in the court, so he talks to you. Why do you want to come here to make noise, even if the old man loses the city gate, this Manchu official can surrender to the Tuliao people and continue to be their minister's doctor. The old man tried his best to defend the city not for these corpses, but for the lives of the people of the city behind him, these millions of people! As he said this, the old general's hair was full of hair, and it was evident that he was already trying to control his anger.

Wang Shao, Wang Fuhe saw that the old general was on the verge of anger, and he stopped talking nonsense, and instead said: "I don't know what difficulties the old general has in defending the city today, I will try my best to do it for you." The old general pointed to the city with his hand: "Now that the moat is still two zhang to be filled, I see that the Tuliao people have already built siege equipment, and once these weapons go to the city when the siege is carried out, our army may not be able to defend it." The soldiers I brought with me have suffered heavy casualties in the past three days, and I have no choice but to replenish many men and horses in the Beijing camp, you know that the soldiers of the Beijing camp are as timid as rats and lack of training, how can they resist the Tuliao tiger wolf? I have prepared the remaining elite of the western soldiers, and when the Tuliao people attack the city, I personally led the team to kill from the side gate, burn the siege equipment of the Tuliao people, if successful, you can still hold the capital, if you fail, please Wang Xianggong escape from the water gate in the south as soon as possible. ”

Wang Shao said: "Why do you need the old general to go into battle in person? "Ha, ha, ha...... Now the generals in Beijing, who else dare to go out of the city to fight with the Tuliao people!? The old man smiled instead of being angry.

Wang Shao took over: "The old general must not be moved lightly when he sits on the city, and even if the siege equipment of the Tuliao people is successfully burned, the old general will inevitably be trapped in the enemy camp." At that time, there must be no one to rescue the old general, and if the old general dies, who will defend the city? At that time, the Tuliao people only need to attack slowly, and Zhongshen City will definitely be broken soon. The old general pondered for a long time, and sighed: "Alas, I don't know, but now if I don't go out of the city to fight, I'm afraid that in three or five days, the Tuliao people will break through the city wall." Now there is no one but me who has the courage to lead the army. If the younger brother is still alive, he is not afraid, but now what can he do about it? ”

"Don't worry, old general, I'll lead the troops for the old general, how about it?" Wang Shao stepped forward and grabbed the old man's arms and said directly. General Zhong was surprised: "Wang Xianggong, if there is no supreme order, how dare the old man assign Xianggong to fight." Besides, this time in the battle, there is no life. Wang ......" Wang Shao directly interrupted the old scripture, "Needless to say, I have already prepared for today's battle, you can come and see." With that, he directly tore off the big red bullfighting suit on the outside, revealing a suit of armor inside. A ray of sunlight in the early morning shone directly on this armor, reflecting a dazzling light, and Wang Shao was like a heavenly man at this time.

"Xianggong Wang, this, this ......" The old general was stunned and speechless for a while. As a privy deputy envoy, I have the right to control the generals, and the old breed receives orders! "The last will be." The old breed couldn't help but clench his fists in response. "Military order, the old general is to defend the city wall, and he is not allowed to fight without authorization, and I will personally lead the army to snipe the siege team of Tuliao." "The last general will take the order!"

After speaking, Wang Shao was afraid of another incident, so he hugged his fist with the old general, asked for the old general's token, and hurried away.

"Come on, transport the war drums to the city, and the old man will personally beat the drums to cheer for the prince!" The old general shouted the order.

Under the city, more than 2,000 soldiers and horses who were ready to attack were feeding black beans, eggs and other fine ingredients to the war horses. Wang Shao walked down the city wall, and under the escort of several of his own personal soldiers, he came directly to the middle of the soldiers, raised the old general's token, and shouted: "This official is Wang Shao, the deputy envoy of the privy council, this time on behalf of the old general, you will go out of the city to meet the enemy, I hope you will fight to the death and return triumphantly!" Here is the Old General Bell Token! When the soldiers below heard that they were about to change generals, they suddenly felt a little fried, "Wang Shao, is it the one who recovered Hehuang?" "It's him, I heard that the Xiqiang he killed back then was full of blood, and he said that his name could cure children's night crying in Hehuang." "Yes, yes, it's him, and he will lead the troops, and he will definitely return triumphantly." This is Wang Shao's long time ago arranged for his own personal soldiers to blend into the crowd and deliberately speak loudly, in order to grasp the military heart in a short time. Although the Western army accounted for the majority, the Western army suffered heavy casualties and could not gather enough men and horses to attack, so there were many other soldiers mixed in it, so it was enough to gather 2,000 cavalry.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "May I fight to the death with the prime minister!" Immediately, someone shouted and said, "May you fight to the death with the prime minister!" Wang Shao saw that the army's heart was available, nodded, and began to form the team.

Seeing that Wang Shao had completed the army in a short period of time, the old general nodded and secretly praised: "Although Wang Xianggong is a civil official, he is the general who recovered Hehuang, and his ability has never been corrupted by the power and wealth of this court, but it is extraordinary. ”

"Woo ......" outside the city, the wolf horn of the Liao people attacked, with the fierce autumn wind into the city, "This year's autumn wind is really fierce." The old general muttered, shook his cloak, lifted his spirits, beat the war drums, and commanded the sons and daughters to meet the enemy.
