A pontoon bridge was erected over the Merlinchu River, and at the middle of the junction was a large circular platform. At this moment, Su Erhu and Sima Yan were sitting on the platform face to face and were talking.

Su Erhu: "General Sima, are you still satisfied with the conditions Ben Khan said?" This is much more generous to Tuoba Honglie, how did General Sima think about it? ”

Sima Yan: "Su Erhu, this will be very strange, where do you get your confidence from being so ashamed?" ”

"General Sima, this is Ben Khan's secret, I can't tell you now, but after you agree to Ben Khan's conditions, Ben Khan will tell you exactly as it is."

"Hehe, if I don't come down, what will you do?"

"Oh? Did General Sima want to emulate Tuoba Honglie? That Khan can also fulfill you. ”

"Hahahaha. Su Erhu, Ben will finally know what it means to be lustful and shameless. Ben will tell you clearly that if you want the Far East, you have to pay the price. If you want the head of the general, it depends on whether you have the ability. ”

"Hahahaha. Sima Yan, you Dayan has a saying: Good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts, and that's what you're talking about. Ben Khan can tell you that Ben Khan is waiting for you to surrender. But the later you get, the less you get, Sima Yan, don't you think about it anymore? ”

"I live in the world, sitting on 100,000 miles of rivers and mountains. Tens of millions of people in Dayan will also consume your Rong Department one by one, I really don't know where you got your arrogant capital. With your hundreds of thousands of cavalry? Hahaha, let's find a way to cross this river first. ”

"Hehe, how can a mere river stop me. I will let you know that our Dongrong army has already burrowed into your belly, and it is too late for you to transfer troops now, so you can wait to see Ben Khan's army sweep through the Far East. ”

When Sima Yan heard this, his face changed suddenly. He secretly speculated, could it be that the cavalry of the Rong tribe had crossed the Meilinchu River? But why didn't I get any news?

While Sima Yan was thinking about it, the guards behind him suddenly pointed to the river upstream and shouted loudly.

"The Grand Overseer looks at the river."

Everyone looked at the river. I saw something black floating from the upper reaches of the river. Because there were so many of them, the black stuff covered the wide surface of the Merlin Chu River. Gradually, the piece of stuff approached the pontoon, and it became clear to both sides that the black stuff was actually a drowned man and a horse. When these dead men and horses were blocked by the pontoon bridge, they immediately gathered together to cover the entire surface of the river.

The corpses of the centaurs floated up and down with the waves, and the full moon golden wolf flag fluttered among the corpses. Su Erhu was already standing by the pontoon, his eyes narrowed into a slit. Dongrong's generals and nobles watched this scene in amazement.

"Hahahaha. Su Erhu, you have opened the eyes of Ben General today, and let Ben General know what a bear soldier is. Sure enough, it's a bear soldier, and there are more bears than there are. ”

Hahahaha, the soldiers of the Yan Army behind Sima Yan burst into laughter, repeating from time to time that it was really Xiong Bing.

Su Erhu turned around and stared at Sima Yan fiercely, his eyes like two sharp knives.

"Sima Yan, you will pay for today's words, Ben Khan promises."

After saying this, Su Erhu turned and left. The sergeants on both sides shouted trumpets and paddled their oars, and the pontoon bridge slowly parted from the middle, and the dead bodies on the river were unblocked and slowly drifted downstream downstream.

"Send scouts to find out where they came from. Then find out how these Rong cavalry were drowned, quickly. A conscription order was issued again to recruit young men over the age of 16 from all parts of the Far East to serve in the army, and to recruit young men from all departments to serve in the army. Fast! ”

Sima Yan was anxious. He had already keenly judged that a Rong cavalry had crossed the Merinchu River. No matter what the reason is so much drowned, then there must be no less left. Supply line. They must have been coming for the supply line. Sima Yan is now looking forward to a cavalry descending from the sky to help him kill all the Rong cavalry who crossed the river. Just as Sima Yan was hurrying back to Zhenyuan City, several fast horses galloped over.

"Great Governor, there is information from the outpost of Bamudun that there are cavalry from the Rong tribe crossing the river, and the number is about five thousand. The crossing takes place at the Terebank. The Eight Wood Pier outpost Zheng Niu Tianci has already led people to check. ”

Sima Yan chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart that this was terrible. Five thousand horsemen came and went without a trace, cutting off supply lines and raiding towns to cause huge losses and unrest throughout the south coast. You can't do without sending troops. But where do they send troops from? The defense line of the Meilin Chu River was already weak, and it was absolutely impossible to transfer troops from there. For today's plan, one is to recruit young and strong people to serve in the army, the second is to recruit various departments to help in the war, and the third is to immediately ask the court for help, and there is no other way. Sima Yan was busy rushing back to Zhenyuan City to dispatch troops, ignoring the words of the messenger just now, and ignoring the situation that there is a team in Bamudun now.

In the tent of the commander of the northern army camp of the Wurakan Defense Line, Ye Yuanzheng and all the generals listened carefully to Niu Tianci's report. When Ye Yuanzheng learned that the Rong Department had crossed the Meilinchu River and planned to cut off the supply lines in the Far East, he punched Shuai on the case.

"Abominable, really abominable. If Yan Shuai is still there, needless to say, pull out the people and kill them. Not to mention that a few thousand people are a hundred and eighty thousand, and they will not come back. But now we are tied hand and foot, and we can only stay within this line of defense and watch our brothers in the Far East struggle to support us. It's just too much of a jerk, too much of a jerk. ”

The generals also talked a lot and were filled with righteous indignation. shouted one by one that it didn't matter what it was, it was natural for a soldier to kill the enemy and serve the country, and he would send troops first. Changshi said on the side: "If you go out against the order, even if you win a big victory, it will be fruitless." Moreover, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and casualties are inevitable. If I go out against the order, the brothers who died in battle will not even get the compensation and honor they deserve, which makes me feel unbearable. ”

"Then you can't just watch the brothers in the Far East being trapped by wolf cubs, the supplies are useless, the Meilin Chu River defense line can't stand it at all, the Meilin Chu River defense line collapses, and the Far East is over."

The generals talked about you and me, Ye Yuanzheng clenched his fists for a while, and shook his head and sighed for a while. It's not that he doesn't want to send troops, it's that there are too many things that hinder him.

"Commander, I'm going to borrow troops from you. The military situation is urgent, please ask the commander to lend me 3,000 iron cavalry. ”

As soon as Niu Tianci's words fell, the generals were in an uproar.

"Niu Tianci, did you command the soldiers that you commanded? Besides, even if you lend you soldiers, they are still soldiers of the Zhenbei Army. After the fact, the crime of sending troops without authorization was investigated, and there was still no escape. ”

Niu Tianci knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute to Ye Yuanzheng.

"Great Commander, the military situation is urgent, and I can't wait for you to discuss and discuss. The last general is now subordinate to the Far East Governor's Protectorate, and has nothing to do with the Zhenbei Army, and Niu Tianci bears all the consequences. The Great Commander, the generals, God has offended. ”

After finishing speaking, Niu Tianci got up and threw out the account. The drumstick was picked up and the drum was struck. The rapid sound of drums resounded throughout the camp, and in a moment, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army gathered neatly in front of the point general's platform. When the soldiers saw a young lieutenant standing on the platform, they didn't know what he was going to do.

"Brothers of the Zhenbei Army, my name is Niu Tianci. Subordinate to the Far Eastern Governor's Office, he is currently the head of the Yamudun Outpost. What I want to tell you brothers is that the Rong wolf riders have crossed the Merlinchu River, intending to cut off the Far Eastern supply lines and plunder the Far Eastern towns. If they succeed, the defense line of the Merlin Chu River will be in danger. The Far East is in danger, and Dayan is in danger. Therefore I must lead an army and destroy the future enemy cleanly and completely. But I have no soldiers in my hands, and I also know that the Zhenbei Army is eager to fight from top to bottom, but due to His Majesty's strict orders, it cannot send troops to rescue. Heaven is here to kneel and beg you to follow me on the expedition to save the Far East. Tianci explained here that when I went on the expedition, I must withdraw from the Zhenbei Army sequence and unconditionally obey my command. God's gift is here to assure you. All the soldiers who go out with me will never be stingy with rewards and official positions. In case of casualties. Heaven gave him ten times the benefit to his family. On the battlefield, one person who kills the enemy will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the merit will be recorded in the book. Those who behead the third person or more will be promoted to one level, rewarded with 500 silver, and recorded in the merit. Kill the enemy 100 people, and the elder officer will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be 1,000 taels of silver. Those who kill the enemy and above are rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold. The officer was promoted to the fifth level. If Niu Tianci does not fulfill his promise, heaven and earth will be destroyed. In order to reassure everyone, all the money here will be rewarded to the soldiers who accompanied me on the expedition. ”

Bang bang, a slip of ten large boxes was kicked to the ground by Niu Tianci, and gold and silver were scattered all over the ground.

"Brothers. You used to be the Zhenbei Army that was mighty in the world, and your prestige once made the enemy tremble with fear, and the enemy army pointed to by the battle flag of the Zhenbei Army was invincible. At this critical moment, the brothers of the Far East are eagerly awaiting your arrival, and the people of the Far East are waiting for you to protect them. So, what are you waiting for? Can you still hold knives and guns in your hands? Can you still ride a war horse? Is your courage still there? Tianci does not want to say more, and may those who go with me take the money and go with me immediately. Those who do not want to go with me can also take the money. But after taking the money, leave the army, leave the Zhenbei army. Because you are not worthy of being a soldier of Dayan, a member of the Zhenbei Army, and a subordinate of my Niu Tianci. Even if none of you follow me, I, Niu Tianci, will fight to the death with the wolf cavalry of the Rong Division, only in this way can I be worthy of the people of Dayan and the prestige of my ancestors. Brothers, come with me. ”

After finishing speaking, Niu Tianci jumped off the platform, turned over, rode on Chiyan's urging horse, and ran to the camp gate, where there was his brother and five hundred war horses waiting for him.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers in front of the general stage were silent, they looked at Ye Yuanzheng and the generals who ran out, and did not say a word. Suddenly, Qin Wuyang walked out of the queue, put the waist card on the platform, turned around and got on his horse and ran towards the camp gate. After him, a team of soldiers of the Zhenbei Army took off their waist cards and solemnly put them on the point platform, and the teams walked out of the camp gate. The waist cards on the table were piled up into a small mountain, and no one looked at the gold and silver.

Ye Yuanzheng is crying, and the generals are crying.

"You guys, you bunnies can't rebel, you're all gone, what kind of officer is Lao Tzu, you bunch of unconscionable things. You wait for me, and I'll go. ”

One of the generals threw down his waist card and quickly chased after the camp gate. The generals around Ye Yuanzheng chased out of the camp one after another, and it didn't take long for the generals to be empty. Ye Yuanzheng ran to the point platform and beat the war drum violently. This is the general's order, also called the marching drum, in order to encourage the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy and move forward bravely.

"Niu Tianci~~~~, you bastard, take my soldiers, one less general will pick your skin ~~~~~. Yes!!! ”

"Changshi, remove all these people and inform General Sima that these people will be the soldiers of the Far Eastern Governor's Mansion in the future. Long history, my Ye Expedition is not the most cowardly commander of the Zhenbei Army in history. ”

"Grand Commander~~~~, you are the best Grand Commander of the Zhenbei Army, and you serve under the command of the Great Commander, and you feel honored to be lowly!"

Knock knock knock, the war drums roared, and the generals who stayed behind beat the war drums together with Ye Yuanzheng. (To be continued.) )
