Chapter 257 A generation of loyal and good Cao Guogong

"Heavy armor, give it to me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Chen Yifan's face sank, he was calculated, Rong Guogong's reaction ability was beyond his medical treatment, and sure enough, under every fame, it was not false.

The battle entered the final stage, and he could have almost collapsed, if he hadn't reacted quickly enough, more people would have died, and a group of black soldiers came out from behind, wearing heavy armor and walking heavily.

Walking in the front, they took spears and weapons in their hands, step by step, shields in their hands, and gradually went up, the bows and arrows could not help them, and the soldiers who charged down could not get close to them.

It was as if all the soldiers, in front of this pile of iron, looked humble and weak.

Rong Guogong stared at the soldiers below, with a gloomy face, Daliang still has such soldiers, he only took it out at this time, the calculation is heavy enough, this kind of soldier, specially for fighting the cavalry, if his cavalry touches them, it will be a nightmare.

"Heavy armor."

Rao is he is well-informed, and he can't help but take a deep breath, these soldiers are not so to be cultivated, and the weight of the armor on their bodies is not something that ordinary people can bear, and it is valuable.

The armor and weapons on these soldiers alone, to say the least, cost almost dozens of taels of silver, these are all silver, and in a prosperous and powerful country like Datang, they would not dare to support such a soldier.

This has been a heavy armor soldier that has not been used for many years, and I didn't expect him to use it, so Rong Guogong definitely retreated and stopped entanglement.

"Let's go."

Don't think about it, just leave, they don't want to fight against the dark heavy armor, Chen Yifan watched them leave, with a gloomy face, and let them go.

"General, do you still want to chase?"

Meng Hao, who was bathed in blood, had a smile on his face, and he became more and more happy and proud after winning the battle, cavalry, this is the role of cavalry.

If you can't hit it with a blow, you can't catch up, you can't kill it, you can't disturb it, you can't keep disrupting it.

The enemy's grain and grass were all destroyed inadvertently, and this time Datang suffered heavy losses, without the arrogance at that time, it is estimated that in a short time, it will not be able to invade Daliang.

"Let's go."

Several people reluctantly watched Rong Guogong leave, returned to the city wall, counted the damage, Ma Long arranged the soldiers, as well as the people, and everything else was ready.

Half a day later, the results of the statistics came out, they lost almost 10,000 people, of which the cavalry was the heaviest, and there were less than 300 horses left, and they needed to expand their troops, as well as horses.

The other soldiers, most of them died on the top of the city walls, a few died outside, and the enemy died even more, walking less than 30,000, almost 30,000 soldiers were in this place, and they had no food and grass, so it was impossible to attack in a short time.

It is estimated that after going back, it is impossible for Datang to continue to attack Daliang, and several other countries, seeing a good opportunity, will definitely knock it out, and after the report, Ma Long looked at the general sitting above.

A white cloth was tied on his chest, and a wound was very obvious, he didn't dare to say anything about the wound, after speaking, the others looked at Chen Yifan, excited, excited, and happy.

killed 30,000 people on the other side, plus the previous 20,000 people, a total of 50,000 horses and horses were killed in Datang, severely damaging the enemy, and the remaining soldiers could not make an invasion, and they may be impeached a lot after returning to Datang.

They won the battle, they must be reported, and then promoted, all in Chen Yifan's words, Chen Yifan glanced at them, and said: "You don't have to be so happy, our side won, but Cao Guogong's side, there is no news yet, so there is no room for carelessness." ”

"Yes." Today, a few people bowed their heads, they were still very excited in their hearts, they all won, Cao Guogong's side, there should be no problem.

"General, the border pass has settled down, all the people have returned home, they don't dare to make a mistake, our army's food has also arrived, at present, the possibility of the enemy continuing to attack is very small, are we going to help Cao Guogong?"

On one side of them settled down, but on the other side, I don't know what the situation is, so many days have passed, and there is no news, so they are very anxious.

"What can you do?"

Ma Long took a step forward and analyzed: "Our army is now seriously injured, the number of soldiers has decreased, and it needs to expand its troops, but there is no suitable candidate here, and soldiers need to be transferred from other places, so it is better to ......." ”

Too many soldiers have died, especially Ma Long's people, there is no one out of ten, and if he doesn't expand his troops, it will be dangerous at that time, and now he is not a general, Ma Long does not dare to expand his troops privately.

"You can do this yourself, the matter of soldiers and horses, you look at the expansion of troops, you can't let the border pass fall into the hands of the enemy, and also, Cao Guogong's side, you arrange people to investigate, and after our side is ready, go over to support."

"Yes."

Another three days passed, the border pass was stable, the expansion of troops into the daily routine, from the border pass, or from the town near the border pass, anyone who has reached the age of 16, can join the army, enter the army, the food and salary is sufficient, guarantee that there will be no arrears, and so on, after saying it, many people do not believe it, but after hearing that after winning the battle, more people join the army.

In three days, enough soldiers were collected, and Ma Long also began to slow down, no longer recruiting soldiers on a large scale, new soldiers, separate various parts, Meng Hao was the first to choose, no way, this time, he suffered the most serious losses and the greatest credit.

Fortunately, there were not many people he selected, and several other people chose those who were born one after another, joined his army, and started training again.

The training was on the right track, and Chen Yifan sent a letter to Luodu, counted the results of these days, and sent it over, and in three days, he almost arrived in Luodu.

In the Luodu Palace, Zhu Youtu coughed non-stop, his face was gloomy, and sitting on the dragon chair on it, he found that he seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and his body was getting worse day by day.

Sitting in this position, he found that he was becoming more and more lonely, not as chic and free as before, and the people who used to have a good relationship with him became courtiers, and some were trying to keep their distance in order to avoid it.

He was very lonely, there was not even a person to talk to, and on this day, he was also sitting on it in a daze, and a letter was delivered, and the eunuch happily shouted: "Your Majesty, victory." ”

"Your Majesty, victory, General Chen has won."

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Youtu got up suddenly, staring at the eunuch, like a tiger descending the mountain, domineering, the eunuch's excitement weakened suddenly, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, General Chen has won, and the Tang Dynasty has withdrawn." ”

"Show me." took the letter, which was written in Chen Yifan's familiar font, and he could see at a glance that it was Chen Yifan's self, and after a glance, his pale face showed a flush.

"Okay, very good, hurry up and gather all the ministers, I want to share it with them."

After a while, the ministers came to the palace, heard the news, and expressed their excitement, Datang retreated, which means that Chen Yifan won, and their country can be saved.

"You Aiqing have seen it, Chen Yifan did not disappoint me, exterminated 50,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and died less than 10,000 soldiers, a big victory, it is a big victory, you Aiqing discuss how to reward the soldiers who are far away on the battlefield, you can't chill their hearts."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks there will be a big reward." Feng Zhi stood up and was the first to speak.

"Big prize." The officials behind him spoke one after another, at this time, His Majesty was happy, who would not have long eyes to impeach Chen Yifan, isn't that looking for death?

"Ji Aiqing, what do you think?"

Ji Chunqiu arched his hand and said, "According to Your Majesty's wishes." ”

"Where's Bao Aiqing?"

Bao Longyu replied expressionlessly: "Big prize." ”

"What about you Aiqing, do you have different opinions?"

A group of officials shook their heads one after another, which one dared to say a word, isn't this looking for death?

So, the palace was ready to reward a group of soldiers, not to chill their hearts, but also to give an explanation to the Liang, at this time, a letter came.

From the other side of the battlefield, Cao Guogong's army, Zhu Youtu looked at himself above, his eyes were red, his hand slowly put down the letter, and his lips were full of words.

"Your Majesty, what happened to Your Majesty?"

The officials were puzzled, took the letter from the eunuch's hand, and when they saw it, their faces suddenly darkened, and everyone had the same expression, and there was no excitement in the court, and there was no joy of victory.

With a faint sadness, they bowed their heads to each other, their eyes red.

died, the old general Cao Guogong died suddenly in the army, working day and night, for the sake of the beam, the first-class loyal general, and the curtain came to an end.

The enemy did not leave, but died first.

A generation of loyalty and goodness is buried.

Cao Guogong, who has struggled for the Great Liang for decades, from the first emperor to the founding of the Great Liang, until now, has been fighting and has made great contributions to the Great Liang, even if all the officials present here are not as prominent as Cao Guogong.

Moreover, Cao Guogong is not greedy for power, he only dedicates his life to Daliang, and now, he died in the army, how sad.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the prince of the country is gone, and I am sad."

Crying bitterly, crying sadly, everyone bowed their heads in silence, Cao Guogong, and went.

A letter was passed to everyone in Luodu, the old boy trembled his hands, looked at the letter in his hand, this was a letter sent to him, and a few words were written on it: "Brother, I'm gone, I can't hold on anymore, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll leave you alone." ”

In a word, it represents how sad and sad he was when he wrote this letter.

The old boy cried, his eyes were red, no one outside dared to go in and disturb him, they all knew, Cao Guogong was dead, and the old boy's friend was dead.

A handful of friends also went.

"Why do you bother? Why do you want to go when you're not in good health? ”

Rubbing the letter, he looked faintly at the ground, and at this moment, the sky was black, and the ground was dead gray.

There is no emotion, no sadness, only a touch of sorrow.

The sorrow of parting, the old boy sat on the ground weakly, like a child, crying so much that the sky was falling apart, crying so much that the pear blossoms were raining, crying for a whole hour, alone, hiding in the room.

"Old friend, you're gone, I'm alone, what's the point?"

"You abandoned me one by one, they were like this back then, and now, you are like this, and I ......."
