On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the cake is steamed and the applique flower is steamed.

It is only two days before the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the taste of the New Year in Taiyuan City is already full, and every household is waiting for the arrival of the New Year, but for the officers and men of Yusuo Lake, the closer they get to the end of the year, the more impetuous.

On the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, there was a snowfall.

The snow stopped until noon, and the tents of all sizes on the east bank of Yusuo Lake were covered with a layer of snow on the roofs of the sheds.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the low morale of the officers and soldiers made their bodies even colder.

Everyone wants to have a reunion with their families, but for the officers and soldiers of Yusuo Lake, it is undoubtedly a luxury, and they don't even know if they will be able to leave Yusuo Lake alive and return home to see their relatives.

There were only about 1,000 officers and soldiers on the east bank, and several watchtowers were erected by the lake, and there was no shortage of people on the towers day and night, always keeping an eye on the situation of Yusuo Lake.

The one in charge of the eastern command was Lu Qianhu of the Yizhou Army.

Lu Qianhu is nearly fifty years old, old and heavy, and the thousand soldiers and horses who stick to the east bank are almost all Yizhou troops, and before setting off from Yizhou, Lu Qianhu did not expect that the war would fall into such a situation.

For most officers and soldiers, at the beginning, everyone thought that this was an operation of countless hunters to round up a prey, and those who were soldiers relied on such an opportunity to accumulate some military exploits.

Before Lu Qianhu set out, he even made a speech, encouraging his Yizhou army to move forward bravely, and he would definitely overshadow other state troops in the limelight, and even assured his soldiers that this battle would end in a few days, and the rewards would be distributed throughout the army at that time.

The Huang family is rich and rivals the country, and everyone thinks that after defeating Huang Tianyi, there must be a rich seizure, and it is naturally indispensable to pay it to the imperial court, but it is also reasonable to draw a batch of rewards for the whole army.

But his rhetoric now seems to be a laughing stock.

The war, which ended in a few days, has dragged on for more than a month, and the most terrifying thing is that the Yizhou Army, which originally wanted to be a hunter, now seems to be the prey of hunters.

The lake has not yet been completely cleaned up, and the wreckage of warships can occasionally be seen floating in the lake, and even blackened stumps and broken legs can be seen floating to the shore.

Lu Qianhu's prestige in the Yizhou army has been seriously damaged, and the closer the New Year gets, the more serious the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the soldiers of the Yizhou army becomes.

Just two days ago, when Lu Qianhu was inspecting the camp, he even heard the soldiers talking to him behind his back, and some of the words were even quite ugly, and the guards around Lu Qianhu were about to slaughter the soldiers who chewed their tongues on the spot, but they were stopped by Lu Qianhu.

He is not a young and vigorous age, he is old and dignified, and he can understand the feelings of soldiers.

In the past two days, he hardly went out of the camp, just because he was a little ashamed in his heart, several generals under his command took turns to come over to drink with him, thinking that it was almost Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, nearly a thousand Yizhou troops would definitely not be able to leave Yusuo Lake, and could only spend the New Year here, so he had already sent people to the head of the military department to prepare food for the New Year, so that the soldiers could spend a good year by the Yusuo Lake, and slightly ease the low mood of the officers and soldiers.

At dusk, several generals had already left, and Lu Qianhu was lying on a simple wooden couch, his head was a little dizzy, and he was getting drunk when he was old and drank more.

In a daze, I suddenly heard a voice from outside the tent, "Report ......!" The voice dragged out.

Lu Qianhu sat up and said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

A soldier entered the account and reported: "Lord Qianhu, there is a situation in the lake!" ”

Lu Qianhu's body was shocked, half sobered up, pulled over the boots on the boat, and pointed to the armor on the wooden frame, "Quick, help Ben put it on." The soldiers stepped forward to serve Lu Qianhu and put on their armor, and Lu Qianhu put on his sword, got out of the big tent, and went straight to the lake.

At this time by the lake, there were already many soldiers and generals who got the news, and they all gathered by the lake, and when they saw Lu Qianhu coming, several generals hurriedly came forward, and someone had already said with a solemn expression: "My lord, there is a situation on the other side of Yusuo Lake!" ”

"What's going on?" Lu Qianhu held the handle of the saber in one hand and asked anxiously, "What the hell is Huang Tianyi going to do again?" He could see a trace of panic on the faces of the generals, and knew that the last battle had left a great shadow on the officers and soldiers.

"Their ship is moving." The ministry will reply.

Lu Qianhu frowned, walked to the watchtower, and was about to board the watchtower, the side will dissuade him, Lu Qianhu also ignored it, went to the watchtower, looked at the lake by the afterglow of dusk, and vaguely saw that the Huang family's boat was really moving, and looked at the movement, it seemed to be coming to the east coast, Lu Qianhu saw this, and his face was slightly discolored.

"Pass the order, the arrow is wound, the sword is unsheathed, and the whole army is on alert." Lu Qianhu shouted sharply to the watchtower: "Hurry up and send someone to inform the north and south banks, just say that the Huang family is preparing to attack the east bank." ”

The subordinate generals immediately gave orders, deploying soldiers and generals while sending people to hurry for help.

On Liyu Island, there are also several watchtowers, Huang Tianyi is wearing a fox fur, at this time he is standing on a watchtower, also looking at the east coast, although his eyes are small, but his eyesight does not seem to be bad, seeing that the east coast has been crowded with black people, just like ants are moving, the corners of his mouth can't help but smile.

The watchtower is not small, beside him, Huang Zhigui put his hands behind his back, thoughtfully, Huang Tianyi smiled and said: "Old Seven, what we said is right, the officers and soldiers of Daqin are no longer the Great Qin Iron Cavalry of twenty years ago, they are just a group of wine bags and rice bags, you see that we are not doing anything here, they are already scared, hahahaha......!" He laughed loudly, looking very proud.

Seeing that Huang Zhigui didn't speak, Huang Tianyi turned his head over, and seeing Huang Zhigui's thoughtful appearance, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Old Seven, what's wrong with you?" ”

Huang Zhigui came back to his senses, looked at the shore, and asked, "Big brother, there shouldn't be anything wrong with this ghost person, right?" ”

"Probably not." Huang Tianyi said: "Didn't you say that they would be broken into pieces?" I think they're almost there. He asked, "By the way, how long is there until the appointed time?" ”

"It's only half a pillar of incense." Huang Zhigui frowned and said, "But there doesn't seem to be any movement over there." ”

Huang Tianyi sneered: "If the ghost people delay the big event, Lao Tzu will turn around and let them have no chickens and dogs left." ”

Huang Zhigui thought for a while and asked: "Big brother, our task is to contain the officers and soldiers and give Taiyuan enough time, but now that this plan has changed, will it ......!" ”

"Seventh, seventh, what do you want me to say about you." Huang Tianyi frowned and said, "You are a smart person, why are you confused now?" Do we really want to watch that bullshit General Mu take Taiyuan City? He said that he would hand over Taiyuan City to us, but I don't believe his words. We and him are just using each other, he wants to use us to contain the officers and soldiers, and we also want to use him to make trouble behind us to solve our predicament. At that time, we agreed to cooperate with him, but the situation was really compelling, and now we have joined forces with the ghost people, and we have the strength to break through to Taiyuan City, so naturally we can't let go of this opportunity. ”

Huang Zhigui hesitated a little and said, "Big brother, if we go to Taiyuan City at this time, will it ...... Will there be a conflict with Tianmen Dao because of this? ”

"Are you scared?" Huang Tianyi's expression became cold, "Old Seven, you remember, this Anyi is not Yingyuan's, let alone Tianmendao's, but our Huang family's." Our Huang family has been working hard here for generations, and in the past 20 years, Anyi has been the palm of our Huang family, and if he can't take Yingyuan, Tianmen Dao will not want to rob our territory. What kind of climate can the demon sect really become? We must rush to take the ...... Taiyuan City before Tianmen Dao! ”

Huang Zhigui bowed slightly, and Huang Tianyi said earnestly: "Old Seven, as of today, our Huang family has no way out, whether we want it or not, whether we can or not, we can only move forward, even if it is broken, there is only such a way." Victory, let's take Taiyuan as the foundation, control Anyi, recruit troops, in this troubled world, recruit talents, may not be able to compete for the world, when the time comes, kill Luo'an, cut off Yingyuan's head as a urinal, this world, I share with my seventh brother. If you lose, hehe, it's just a life, we were in Taiyuan before, and we have already died once, and now this life is picked up and used to fight. ”

Huang Zhigui's eyebrows were originally locked, but at this time, he slowly stretched out, and said: "The northwest is restless, the southeast is in trouble, Liaodong is in turmoil, and Hebei is in turmoil...... This court doesn't have much family foundation, what the eldest brother said is right, let's give it a go, the prince and the loser, even if it is to take revenge, we have to gamble! ”

Huang Tianyi patted Huang Zhigui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is my seventh brother, brothers are of the same heart, their profits are gold, the seventh, with you by the side of the eldest brother, you and my brother will be able to do something great." ”

Huang Zhigui smiled, the expression on his face changed sharply, and he raised his hand, "Big brother, look at ......!" ”

Before Huang Tianyi turned his head, he had faintly heard the sound of killing in the mountains and seas, and turned his head to look over, only to see the shore where people were already scurrying around, and it was already a mess at this time.

"Big brother, the ghost party has arrived." Huang Zhigui's eyes lit up, "They have already killed them." ”

Huang Tianyi's face also showed excitement, the sky was dark, what was going on the shore, he couldn't see it too clearly, but the sound of the fight was quite clear, and he could even see that the figures on the shore had already exchanged hands, swords and swords, and the figures flickered, but in a moment, the ghost people seemed to have completely rushed into the camp of the Yizhou army.

"The ghost people are really brave and good at fighting." Huang Tianyi touched his chin and said excitedly: "Zhigui, although the ghost people are barbaric and stupid like pigs, they are still not ambiguous when it comes to fighting. He turned around and said: "Our men and horses can also move, rush over, and the Yizhou army will definitely be vulnerable ......!" ”
