The next day, Ding Qian and Qiu Ju had just had breakfast, and before they could clean up the dishes and chopsticks, they heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the street, and then heard the horses' hooves stop in front of their yard, followed by a sound of a rapid knock on the courtyard door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Qian hurriedly ran over and opened, only to see a forbidden soldier standing at the door and said, "May I ask if this is the home of Lord Ding of the army!" ”

Ding Qian was stunned suddenly.

The forbidden soldier said again: "May I ask if this is the home of Lord Ding who joined the army!" ”

Ding Qian suddenly realized that he had forgotten that he was already an official of the court, so he hurriedly said: "It's not bad to be under Ding Qian." ”

The forbidden soldier straightened his chest and said, "Long live the mouth!" ”

Ding Qian hurriedly knelt down and said: "Minister, Ding Qian, take the order!" ”

The forbidden soldier said: "Ding Qian, who joined the army with six products, quickly rushed to the military field of the Vermilion Bird Gate Forbidden Military Academy, and went to the border with Yang Zongbao, the commander of the army, to serve the country." Make no mistake! Chin this. ”

Ding Qiandao: "The minister receives the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" With that, he stood up.

The forbidden soldier bowed to Ding Qianyi and said, "That's good to join the army, the little one has to inform the others, you are ready to hurry up and rush to the school military field!" After speaking, he jumped on the war horse and hit the horse, and ran away like a fly.

Ding Qian hurriedly turned around and ran to the house, picked up the sword on the table and ran out, Qiu Ju shouted behind him with a crying voice: "Ding Qian, you must not let me be widowed!" ”

Ding Qiantou didn't look back, and shouted as he ran: "Qiu Ju, don't worry, I will definitely return safely." As he spoke, he ran all the way to the forbidden military academy without touching the ground.

Qiu Ju threw herself on the bed and cried loudly, crying and scolding: "Ding Qian, you Wang Ba calf, don't you know that I am pregnant with a child!" You have to come back safely, and you can't let our children be born without a father! Crying and sitting up again, he stroked his belly and said, "Child, I can't complain about your father, my mother is afraid that he is worried and doesn't dare to tell you that he already has you!" Child, your father is really heartless, just threw our mother and son at home, how can this be good! ”

Besides, Ding Qian trotted all the way to the school military field, and saw that there was a neatly arranged team of teams ready to drive to the border, so he held on to a tethered horse post and breathed for a while, came to the handsome stage, and bowed his hand to Yang Zongbao, who was wearing a white helmet and white armor covered with a Suluo robe, and said: "Marshal, the last general will run all the way after receiving the notice, if you are late, please forgive the marshal." ”

Yang Zongbao said: "Fortunately, the head drum of Ding Senjun has just sounded, and you are not too late." ”

At that time, the point was to beat the drum three ways, if anyone did not arrive after the three drums, then he would have committed the crime of killing the head, Ding Qian secretly exhaled when he heard it.

At this time, I heard Yang Zongbao say: "Ding joins the army, you hurry up and follow the horse boy Yang Ji to change into a helmet, the army is about to start." ”

Ding Qian arched his hand again and said, "Thank you, Marshal." ”

Yang Ji walked over and said, "Ding joins the army, please come with the little one." ”

Ding Qian looked at Yang Ji and said with some surprise: "Hey, aren't you looking at Yang Ji at the gate in Tianbo Mansion!" ”

Yang Ji said with a smile: "Ding is really good eyesight to join the army, I have changed into a military uniform, you still recognize me at a glance, yes, it is Yang Ji who is the gatekeeper of Tianbo Mansion." ”

Ding Qian said strangely: "Then why did you come here!" ”

Yang Ji laughed and said: "Haha, Lord Joiner, it seems that you don't know much about our Great Song Army." ”

Ding Qian said humbly: "Yang Ji, I won't tell you, I used to be a businessman, I know these things, and I hope you will give me more advice!" ”

As soon as Yang Ji heard that the dignified adults who joined the army had to give his own advice, he said in his mouth: "Don't dare!" But immediately his chest straightened up and said: "My lord, that's the case, I belong to the family soldiers of Tianbo Mansion, from my grandfather's life, we followed Lao Yang Linggong to fight in the south and the north." ”

Ding Qiandao: "What do you mean by a family soldier?" ”

Yang Ji said: "It is to follow the Yang family all his life, take care of the family and nursing home when there is no war in peacetime, and follow the master to gallop the field in wartime." ”

Ding Qian said: "Oh, so that's the case! ”

Yang Ji said: "My lord, don't underestimate us soldiers, we are all sworn to follow the old Yang family voluntarily, and we are also a member of the Yang family." It's not bragging, just pick out one of our family soldiers, and you can be a captain, but we don't disdain that, my Yang Ji's biggest wish is to follow the young general to kill more Liao dogs, and be happy! ”

Ding Qian felt a sense of admiration in his heart when he heard this, and said, "Okay, Yang Ji, this is the real man." ”

Yang Ji said: "Okay, don't talk too much, hurry up and change your armor!" ”

The two came to the armor warehouse as they spoke, and Yang Ji said to the guards and soldiers, "Open the door, and the army will change the armor." ”

The soldier guarding the warehouse hurriedly opened the door and said, "Lord Joiner, please come in!" ”

Ding Qian and Yang Ji walked into the armor warehouse, and Yang Ji pointed to the rows of armor hanging on the wall and said, "Lord Joiner, you can pick whatever color you like." ”

Ding Qian picked out a pair of khaki armor and put it on his body and said to Yang Ji: "Yang Ji, what do you think of this?" ”

Yang Ji looked back and forth, left and right, and said, "Okay!" Majestic, but also like a general! Let's go! The marshal is to blame for going late. ”

Ding Qian came to the front of the handsome platform and said to Yang Zongbao: "The marshal has already changed his armor!" ”

Yang Zongbao pointed to the left side of the Shuaitai and said, "Ding joins the army and stands on the left side!" ”

Ding Qian walked to the end of the general team on the left, raised his head with his chest straight, and pressed the sword at his waist in his hand, standing there feeling good about himself.

After listening to the two more drums, Yang Zongbao stood up from the handsome chair, looked down and said in a loud voice: "Are all the generals who went out with the army here!" ”

A flag officer of the Chinese army came out and said: "Marshal, all the generals have arrived." ”

Yang Zongbao nodded when he heard this, pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword on his left waist and said, "Generals! ”

All the generals said in unison: "The last general!" ”

Yang Zongbao said: "Ladies and gentlemen, after the first year of Jingde, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State after many years of the battle of Song and Liao, there is a wolf ambition to kill my Great Song Dynasty, this time and gathered 150,000 troops to attack the important town of our border pass, although the border soldiers fought bloodily, desperately resisted but after all they were outnumbered, now the Liao army has successively captured the two county towns of Xiongzhou Prefecture, Xiongzhou City is also in danger at present, the border pass army and people hope for help can be said to be hopeful, how can we as the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty let the Liao people be so rampant, For this reason, the commander will lead the troops in accordance with the will of Long Live and lead you to the border to kill the enemy and serve the country. ”

The generals shouted in unison: "Yes! Swear to kill the enemy and serve the country. Swear to kill the enemy and serve the country. ”

Yang Zongbao waved his hand and waited for everyone to be quiet, and said: "Okay, the whole team is leaving, now Banzai is already waiting at the victory gate to see off the army, you must show a passionate spirit, please Banzai look at the military might of our Great Song Dynasty." ”

The generals shouted in unison: "No! ”

Yang Zongbao picked up a small order flag and said, "The pioneer officer listens to the order." ”

I saw a tall man with a black and red face and a big axe on his shoulder, and said: "Marshal, the last general Jiao Meng listens to the order!" ”

Yang Zongbao said: "General Jiao, you lead the front team to start first. Open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water, and the itinerary of the army must not be delayed. ”

Jiao Meng said in a loud voice: "The last general obeys the order!" As he spoke, he walked out of the queue and set off with his 10,000 horses.

Yang Zongbao said again: "The generals are in a whole team, and they will be reviewed by Banzai through the victory gate with this commander. ”

Immediately walked off the platform, Yang Ji hurriedly led Yang Zongbao's mount White Dragon Horse over, Yang Zongbao turned over and jumped on the war horse, and said loudly: "Pull out!" Before the words fell, the pilot team played out 24 flying dragon flags, 24 flying tiger flags, 24 flying bear flags, 24 flying leopard flags, followed by 24 "dong dong dong" big cowhide war drums that shook the sky.

Yang Ji was wearing a blue horse children's costume and led Yang Zongbao's war horse to follow, Yang Zongbao was just behind the distance of a horse and there were sixty generals on the left and right, and Ding Qian was in the team of generals on the left.

Soon the army came to the victory gate, only to see that it was already crowded with people, and almost all the people of the capital came to see off their soldiers.

Emperor Zhenzong wore a crown of heaven and sat on a chair in a rolling dragon robe, and she Lao Taijun sat beside the emperor with a dragon head cane.

Prime Minister Kou Zhun, Auxiliary Cheng Wang Qinruo, Governor Ding Qian and other civil and military generals stood straight behind the emperor and She Lao Taijun.

Emperor Zhenzong saw the army coming over, stood up and waved.

Yang Zongbao raised his right hand, only to hear the army shouting in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!" Then he shouted: "The Great Song will win, the Great Song will win!" The onlookers also shouted in unison: "The Great Song Dynasty will win, the Great Song Dynasty will win!" ”

Emperor Zhenzong happily said to the old lady beside him: "Old lady, it seems that this expedition is very supported by the people. ”

She Lao Taijun said: "Yes, Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty sent troops to resist foreign insults this time, and it is deeply popular with the people. ”

Emperor Zhenzong nodded and said: "I have a brave and loyal person like Lao Taijun in the Great Song Dynasty, so why not be afraid of the rampant of the Liao dog." As he spoke, he walked to the city wall and held the city wall in a loud voice: "Soldiers, I am waiting for the news of your victory, and I look forward to your triumphant return. ”

The army shouted again long live.

At this time, Ding Qian, who was riding on a horse, was condescending, and suddenly saw his parents looking at the army in the crowd, so he hurriedly pressed down on his helmet, for fear that the two old men would see him.

The 100,000-strong army walked one after another for nearly an hour before leaving the victory gate.

In the evening, 50 miles away from Bianliang City in Tokyo, they set up camp and cooked in a pot, and after everyone had eaten, Marshal Yang Zongbao held a combat meeting in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Yang Zongbao pointed to the large topographic map hanging on the wall of the tent and said, "Everyone. From us to Xiongzhou, with a daily march of 50 miles, the fastest army has to be in 15 days to rush to Xiongzhou, this rescue is like a fire, it is an urgent thing, we arrive a day early, the certainty of defeating the Liao army is greater, but with such a marching speed, in case the city of Xiongzhou is lost, our army will definitely lose the opportunity. What do you have to do? ”

Most of the generals were born in the army, and they were all heroes who were not afraid of death when they fought, but they were still lacking in strategy, so they looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

Yang Zongbao saw that all the generals were silent, so he said: "Then it is better to lead a team of light cavalry by this commander himself, and rush to Xiongzhou as quickly as possible, and fight the enemy together with the defenders there, and you all lead a large group of men and horses to speed up." ”

Deputy Marshal Yue Cheng said: "Marshal, no, since ancient times, the marshal of the Dao Dao has not left his position, how can you, as the marshal of the unified army, leave the army easily!" It's better for me to lead a detachment of men. ”

Yang Zongbao looked at Yue Chengdao: "Then there is Deputy Marshal Lao!" As he spoke, he looked at everyone and said, "Do you have any different opinions?" ”

At this time, Ding Qian stood up and said, "Marshal, the last general has something to say." ”

All the generals looked at Ding Qian, and they all felt very funny, what do you know as a businessman! It's just that he is relying on Ding Wei as a backer, and he wants to go to the border to be gilded, and he will be honest for a while, don't come out and be embarrassed.

Yang Zongbao is not optimistic about Ding Qian, but as a member of the army, it is the duty of the marshal to give advice to the marshal of the unified army, although the staff officer does not want to fart without the commander, but he also has to give people the right to speak! Thinking of this, Yang Zongbao smiled and said: "I don't know what is the best way to join the army, please speak!" ”
