More than two hours later, He Ruobi, the governor of Wuzhou of the Sui army, was taking more than a dozen accompanying generals and colonels to rein on the high slopes of Jiangshan (now Zhongshan), where the mountain is not too high, only about 400 meters, but in the Jiankang area, which is full of low hills, it is already a commanding height.

With the opening of the Yanxi Gate in the northeast corner of Jiankang City and the Donghua Gate in the east of the city, a group of elite Chen Army infantry cavalry sang war songs, held spears, swords and battle axes, carried bows and arrows, and came out in array.

He Ruobi's face was gloomy, watching Chen Jun's foot cavalry come out, and in the face of such a high-morale enemy army, the generals and colonels around him all had solemn expressions and solemn faces.

Ming, the commander of the march, was a strong man in his forties, who was powerful and powerful, stepped forward and whispered: "General He, the enemy army is strong and vigorous, and it seems that our army had better not be strong." Now the 50,000 troops of the rear army are still in the camp and have not set off, and our army has only more than 10,000 people in the front army, so I think it is better to temporarily avoid the enemy's front, return to the camp to defend, and wait for the enemy's momentum to weaken, and then attack with General Han, so as to win a complete victory. ”

Yuan Ming expressed the thoughts of the generals and colonels present, and Yang Ya, Su Xiaoci and other marching managers also held the same opinion.

He Ruobi laughed, and pointed at the enemy with a horsewhip: "You all say that the enemy army is powerful, but in my eyes, it is just a mustard that is inserted into the head."

Now the enemy army out of the city is by a breath, if our army retreats, then their momentum will rise, even if our army attacks the city next, will encounter the enemy's desperate resistance, the army under the fortified city, has always been a taboo for soldiers, they are willing to go out of the city to die, how can we let go of this opportunity for a decisive battle!"

In his early forties, Yang Ya, who was thin and small, changed his face and said: "General He, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a will, if we are not allowed to go to war without authorization, we must go hand in hand with General Han, if you want to fight a decisive battle with the Chen army now, but you will violate the military order." ”

He Ruobi glanced back at Yang Ya, and said coldly: "The so-called general is outside, the king's order is not granted, and when the King of Jin gave this order, he didn't know the actual situation on the battlefield. He is still in Jiangbei, if he has to wait for his order to come, our army will not have to fight, now I am the general of the front line, I am responsible for anything, and you will not be implicated. ”

The generals looked at the well-groomed enemy army, and when they thought of Yang Guang's order, they all looked embarrassed, but everyone was afraid of He Ruobi's generals, and no one dared to speak again.

He Ruobi turned his horse's head and said to the generals: "You have come to Jiangnan for meritorious service, if you besiege the city unhurriedly, there will be enough soldiers in Jiankang City to last for two or three years, and if the enemy reinforcements in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiujiang come at that time, it is not yet known what the outcome will be." I think that Houjing besieged Jiankang for two years before it was captured, if we had to fight for such a long time, would the emperor still give us a reward?

And now, it is our best opportunity, Chen Guo Jiankang's elite are all out, as long as they are defeated, then Jiankang can go down without a fight.

And now our army is behind the river, in front of the enemy, there is no way to retreat, fight a battle here, advance will be glorious and rich, retreat will die without a place to bury, the soldiers will be able to burst out the greatest strength! Guys, what are you waiting for? ”

Over sixty years old, the gray-haired veteran Su Xiaoci said loudly: "General He is right, since our army crossed the river, it has been moving forward, if it takes the initiative to retreat, then the morale will decline, fight a battle here, presumably General Han will also make some moves in the south of the city, Chen Jun looks forward and backwards, must not be able to play his full strength, I agree with General He's opinion, a decisive battle here." ”

Yang Ya, Yuan Ming and the others also nodded yes after hearing Su Xiaoci, who was the oldest in qualifications, say yes.

He Ruobi laughed and said: "General Su and General Yang rushed back to the camp, and within two hours, they must bring the 50,000 troops in the camp to come here in formation, as a backup, General Yuan commanded the front army, set up a formation at the bottom of the mountain, and prepared to meet the enemy, everyone quickly split up!"

At the same time, outside the Xuanwu Gate of Jiankang Inner Palace, Chen Shubao, who was dressed in a dragon robe, was looking at the generals of the Chen army kneeling in front of him, Chen Shubao was only thirty-five years old this year, but he looked like he was fifty-three years old, his face was pale, his skin was loose, his eye sockets were deep, and his whole body was full of alcohol, and the whole person was also depressed and weak.

Since Chen Shubao ascended the throne eight years ago, his only goal in life has been to enjoy life. Drinking and playing with women became the whole of his life, because of excessive indulgence and became the appearance of this tuberculosis ghost, which made him live in a simple place, and did not dare to face his courtiers, and all the state affairs were entrusted to the hands of Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing, until now the Sui army was in the city, he finally left the palace and issued the order for today's decisive battle. ”

Xiao Maha was fully armed, kneeling on one knee in front of Chen Shubao, and behind him were the three generals Lu Guangda, Fan Yi, and Ren Zhong, and Shi Wenqing's two cronies, Kong Fan and Tian Rui, who would be in charge of today's decisive battle.

Chen Shubao took a jue of wine from the hands of the eunuchs beside him, handed it to Xiao Maha who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "General Xiao, when the emperor went eight years ago, Chen Shuling made a rebellion, and it was you who saved my life when it was the most dangerous, today, I can only rely on you again to save my Da Chen and save the people of the world, I am here waiting for the general's good news!"

Xiao Maha stood up, but there was no expression on his face, took Chen Shubao's wine, drank it all, threw it to the ground, and said loudly: "Today's battle is not only for the country, but also for my Xiao Maha's wife!" It's up to me. ”

Xiao Mahayan stopped, turned over on his horse without looking back, took the long-handled thick-backed machete weighing more than seventy pounds from his entourage, shook his spirits, and galloped out.

The other generals also drank and rode away, only Chen Shubao stood in place in a daze, unable to say a word.

The eunuch Cai Tu'er, who was standing on the side, took two steps forward and said quietly: "Your Majesty, just now Mrs. Xiao asked someone to send a message, saying that she hadn't seen the emperor for a while, and she missed it very much, she went to the palace today to meet Zhang Guifei and wanted to see the emperor." ”

Chen Shubao suddenly yelled irritably: "When is it, see you still a fart, can you have a little brain, don't force Xiao Maha to rebel, you are not satisfied, right?!"

Chen Shubao's love erupted like a volcano, and his face, which was originally so white that there was no blood, also turned red, frightening the surrounding eunuchs to their knees.

This Mrs. Xiao is the continuation of Xiao Maha and the granddaughter of Ren Zhong. Xiao Maha's wife passed away a few years ago, when Ren Zhong had just been taken away from his own army and became the commander of the light pole, so he was ruthless, so that Ren Yingying, who was at a young age and beautiful as a flower, married Xiao Maha, who was over fifty years old.

Although Ren Yingying is the daughter of Jiangmen, she prefers the literati of the Southern Dynasty, and the mood of wine and song, and she is naturally disgusted with rude warriors like Xiao Maha, plus Xiao Maha is old enough to be his grandfather, and there is no husband and wife relationship at all.

Two years ago, when the wife of the Chinese martial arts entered the palace to visit the noble concubine Zhang Lihua, Chen Shubao happened to pass by, and at a glance he saw Ren Yingying with a hint of sadness, Chen Shubao also drank a few more cups that day, and actually took advantage of the situation to return Ren Yingying to the dragon bed, and Ren Yingying had long admired Chen Shubao's talent, and the song "Behind the Jade Tree - Garden Flower" was sung by him countless times, so he half-pushed and half-done, and achieved good things.

Afterwards, Chen Shubao appreciated the stimulation of this cheating, and Ren Yingying also got great satisfaction from Chen Shubao's body, because Xiao Maha was a general of the Chen Dynasty after all, and the pillar of the court, Chen Shubao did not dare to blatantly accept Ren Yingying into the **, but often took advantage of Xiao Maha to lead the troops outside, in the name of Zhang Lihua, announced that Ren Yingying entered the palace and continued to cheat.

After a long time, Xiao Maha also heard the rumors, but he just endured it silently, but Xiao Maha's words just now, with a pun, made Chen Shubao so frightened that he couldn't give up, and finally began to regret his affair.
