Chapter Fifty-Six: Li Qi's Dream

Hebei Province, Qinghe battlefield, Youzhou military camp.

At this moment, it was already dinner time, outside each camp, a large cauldron was lined up, and each pot was tumbling and tumbling, and the fragrance of mutton and corn and wheat grains came out, and more than 40,000 soldiers of the Youzhou Army were standing in a chaotic line, and they kept looking at this cauldron, and the Adam's apple was rolling up and down, and saliva was about to flow out.

In front of them, the middle and lower-ranking officers of all levels were giving lectures according to the content of the professors: "...... Tomorrow, we will launch a general attack on the enemy in front of us! Today's five tentative attacks, everyone has also seen, what kind of enemy are we facing?

Those 3,000 Tiance veterans are indeed very strong, those 300 Tiance cavalry are stronger, they have the best war horses, the best weapons, and the best armor, but they only have more than 300 horses, and we have 30,000 horses! Will we 30,000 horsemen be afraid of them?

And those so-called Tiance soldiers, peasant soldiers, what are they? More than three months ago, they were farmers who farmed the land, workers working in workshops, and they could not be considered soldiers at all! Everyone saw it, they were hiding behind the ditches and deer barricades, and our charging sergeants were still more than a hundred paces away from them, and they trembled with fear, shouting and panicking, this is still a tentative attack of thousands of people, or only two percent of their strength, and they are scared like this!

They're a bunch of soft eggs, a bunch of bunnies, a bunch of timid burrowing marmots! And what are we? We are the wolf king of the steppe, we are the eagles of the sky, will the eagles and wolves be afraid of these rabbits and marmots?

Tomorrow our army of more than 40,000 will press on the whole line and take turns to launch attacks. Under such a powerful frontal offensive. No army in the world can resist it. Not to mention this army of rabbits and marmots. Maybe tomorrow when we attack, they'll cry and run away like rabbits!

As long as we defeat this face-to-face enemy, no army can stop us all the way to Dugi Road, King Dongping said, as long as we fight all the way to Dugi Road, hit Luoyang, and plunder for ten days without sealing the sword! Our money. The money of the South China Sea, the money of all the people in the whole Tang Dynasty, was robbed of Luoyang City by the Four Seas Trading Company, how rich Dugi Dao and Luoyang City are, I don't need to say more! ”

After some incitement, the reason has been explained very clearly, and with the encouragement of the money, wine, and beauties of Dugi Dao, the morale of more than 40,000 Youzhou troops is about to overflow, and the entire camp erupts with a roar that resounded through the sky: "Kill them all, kill them into Dugi Dao!" ”

"Kill them all. Entering the ...... of Togi-do"

On the Julu battlefield, which is about two hundred miles away from the Qinghe battlefield, Yan Zhuang, the first strategist under An Lushan, is analyzing the tactics of the Tiance army to An Lushan: "...... The intentions of the Tiance Army are already obvious. It is to use 9,000 Tiance veterans to drive 100,000 soldiers and peasant soldiers, that Xiao Qu is used to training, and the weapons of Tiance Mansion are indeed advanced, these 100,000 soldiers and peasant soldiers use strong crossbows.

The lord knows that crossbowmen are not as good as archers, archers must first have great strength, and they must be trained for more than a year to have combat effectiveness, while crossbowmen are different, as long as they train a little for a month or two to go to the battlefield.

As long as you have seen blood and experienced the victory of a big war, these 100,000 Tiance soldiers and peasant soldiers can really grow up, and it is not a problem to increase their combat effectiveness tenfold or tenfold.

At that time, they have morale, experience, no tension and panic, good equipment, and strong fortifications, as long as the first battle persists, they are fully capable of confronting our Youzhou army for a long time. Wait until the Tiance Army, Anxi Army, and Longyou Army who went out to conquer Nanzhao and Tubo come back, and then defeat us.

So, my lord, tomorrow's battle is very important, and we must go all out to defeat them in one fell swoop! ”

Tian Qianzhen nodded in agreement and said, "What Yan Junshi said is right, in tomorrow's battle, we can only win and not lose." However, he Li Qi thought very well, with a Tiance veteran to drive ten recruits who have only been trained for three months, if they can really bring it up, it will be very good, but these 100,000 Tiance soldiers and peasant soldiers are too weak, tomorrow under our powerful offensive, I am afraid that they will not last long, they will be defeated, and then these wolf rush recruits will not only not be able to help these veterans, but will drag them down! ”

"I didn't say it, I'll beat them down in a battle tomorrow!" Cui Qianyou, Tian Chengsi, Yin Ziqi, Ashina Congli and other senior generals also nodded again and again, and their emotions were warm.

Tian Qianzhen said again: "The only thing I am worried about now is that I am afraid that the Tiance Army will have some new tricks, and the secret weapon has not been taken out, which has to be guarded against." ”

As soon as they said this, everyone stopped squeaking again, although after a day's temptation, the Tiance Army did not play any new tricks, but who knows if they will suddenly come when they launch a general attack, just like Li Qiyin An Shouzhong.

An Lushan looked around at the generals in the tent, his eyes were cold: "No matter how big the price is, we will break through it in a battle, tear apart the 40,000 heavenly soldiers who are stopped in front of us, and make all the enemies who dare to resist tremble when they see us, and after defeating them, no army can stop us from advancing!"

Within seven days, the vanguard army will cross the Yellow River, ten days later will enter the Wugao Pass, and after twelve days, I will enter Luoyang City; That Jianning King Li Qi, I want you to capture him alive and send him to us, and I want to chop him alive with my own hands! ”

When the Youzhou Army was mobilizing, the Tiance Army was also doing the same thing in the Tiance Camp five miles to the south.

Behind the position, in the camps, a thousand people stood neatly, in front of them, there were instructors at all levels, next to the instructors, there were ten Youzhou soldiers with their hands tied, and more than a dozen Youzhou refugees who escaped from the north.

One by one, these trainers shouted out as if they were pulling gongs: "I always say that the beast soldiers in Youzhou are brutal, killing people and slaughtering villages, and doing all kinds of evil, I don't need to say more, everyone understands that these refugee brothers who fled from the north are the proof, and each of their homes has been destroyed by these beasts from Youzhou, and everyone wants their relatives to be killed by these Hu people and beast soldiers, and I don't need to say more."

Someone will think. These Youzhou beast soldiers have done so many bad things. Killed so many people. It must be very powerful if it is so ferocious, otherwise how could they kill so many people and fight all the way here?

Bullshit! They have the most powerful army in the Youzhou army, called the Luoluo River, which is the elite of the elite selected by the hundred, but the eight thousand Luluo River encountered the 1,500 Tiance cavalry led by the King of Jianning. The advantage of five to one is a force advantage, but the result is that these 8,000 Luohe were beaten by 1,500 Tiance cavalry to lose their armor and flee in the wilderness, killing more than 5,000 on the spot, more than 1,000 captured, and only a thousand people who escaped back were just over 1,000!

They also launched several attacks during the day today, but what was the result? As a result, we were repulsed once and again, lost their armor again and again, and captured so many people by us. The reason why these beasts were able to kill so many people before. Not because they're powerful, just because they're vicious. They are savage, they gather together, they have weapons in their hands, they fight more and less, and they are still facing unarmed civilians!

In fact, this group of Youzhou beast soldiers are all waste, in terms of fighting alone, everyone present is stronger than them, and it is not a problem for individual strong ones to even fight one or two! ”

The instructor roared hoarsely, his throat was about to catch fire, and the peasant soldiers who were fighting in line on the opposite side were also divided into two reactions at this time, and they were filled with righteous indignation and thought to themselves that yes, these Youzhou beast soldiers also have a little ability to bully the unarmed people, in fact, they are just a waste, otherwise how could the eight thousand most powerful Drag River be defeated by the 1,500 Tiance cavalry? Why didn't every time they attacked during the day, the 500 Tiance cavalry would be able to chase down 5,000 Youzhou soldiers and flee in embarrassment?

And there are still many timid and weak people, but what they think in their hearts is: That's because you veterans of Tiance are powerful, especially these cavalrymen, all of them are meritorious and heroic, martial arts families, martial arts and experienced in a hundred battles, and other infantry have also undergone more than two years of arduous and uninterrupted training.

These Youzhou soldiers have eyes like wolves, even if they are captured, their eyes are full of fierce light, as if they want to eat people, they are extremely fierce, they are very powerful at first glance, they don't dare to fight them alone, even if they look at each other, they feel empty.

The instructor paused his throat and continued to shout, "If you don't believe me, we can do an experiment. Did you see, these are all refugees who fled from the Northland, they were all farmers before, and their relatives died at the hands of these Youzhou beast soldiers, now I will give them a chance to take revenge! ”

Everyone was stunned, the Tiance soldiers and peasant soldiers were stunned, these refugees were also stunned, and those Youzhou prisoners of war were frightened, revenge, didn't they want to kill themselves and sacrifice the flag?

Some of them couldn't help but start to tremble, and some of them really fierce said that it was death anyway, so they showed their fierce faces, and their eyes widened angrily and scolded loudly.

"You guys these days, the time of death is coming, and the king of Dongping will avenge us!"

"Tomorrow the 50,000 Youzhou army will set foot here, and if the chickens and dogs are not left, you will all die!"

"Tiance rapes the dog, and has the ability to fight alone!"

They were dying one by one, their voices were violent, to be honest, some people were frightened, and others were so angry that they were going to die, several trainers kept shouting every day, kept talking to the soldiers to channel their emotions, and their voices were almost dumb, but some soldiers were obviously a bad breed, and they were really angry, and these trainers were holding back the fire in their stomachs, and at this time, they pumped wildly at these Youzhou beast soldiers, and their hearts were much smoother.

After the fight, the instructor named Zhao Xiaogang clapped his hands and said loudly to one of the Youzhou soldiers: "This Youzhou dog said well, I just want them to fight with you." ”

Everyone was stunned again, Zhao Xiaogang came to the side of those refugees, and said loudly: "These Youzhou beasts, they killed your relatives, burned your homes, and ruined your wives and daughters, and they are your enemies.

Now I give you a chance to go head-to-head with them, and as long as you win, you can kill them with your own hands and avenge your family, and there will be a reward of ten silver coins; However, if you lose, I will let them go, do you dare? ”

More than a dozen refugees were red in their eyes and full of anger, but they were obviously a little hesitant, not because they were afraid of death, nor because they didn't dare, but because they were afraid that if they lost, these Youzhou beast soldiers would be let go.

At this time, Zhao Xiaogang said something even more unacceptable to them: "I have dozens of voices, if no one dares to go single-handedly if they count to one, I will let them all go!"

Ten! ”

A dozen refugees, look at me. I'll look at you. He hesitated for about four or five seconds. One of them, who looked to be in his early twenties, tall and thin, stepped forward, and the seven or eight instructors couldn't help but nod, this refugee looked the thinnest, but he was the first to stand up, there was a kind!

"What's this brother's name and why did he stand up?"

"My name is Mu Feng, these Youzhou beasts. Killed my father and mother, and ruined my mother to death, ten people, they are not people, they are beasts! I'm going to kill them for revenge! ”

"They look so fierce, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, I'll pour this blood out on him! It's a big deal to fight with him! ”

"Good man! Do you pick a bamboo knife or choose to be empty-handed, which of these ten Youzhou soldiers do you choose? ”

In the confusion of everyone, Zhao Xiaogang explained the rules, each refugee can stand up and choose one or two opponents to fight alone. You can choose to slash with a bamboo knife or fight with your bare hands.

As long as you knock the opponent down, you win. If you win, you can personally dispose of this Youzhou soldier, whether it is a thousand knives, or a belly and heart, it is up to you, and there are ten silver coins for winning one; But if he loses, this Youzhou soldier will be let go.

After the rules were explained, these refugees were in different moods, but these Youzhou soldiers were overjoyed, they were all veterans of a hundred battles, born warriors, strong and strong, and experienced in combat; And the other party is a farmer, do you need to talk about this result?

Is this Tiance army stupid? It's still in the water, otherwise how would you do such a stupid thing?

In fact, not only these Youzhou soldiers think so, but many Tiance peasant soldiers think the same way.

And in the confusion and incomprehension of most people, a twenty-one-year-old Hebei farmer named Mu Feng chose one of them, the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms soldier with short red hair and green eyes and beard, and he clearly remembered that he had raped his wife at the beginning, and there was this person!

The soldier of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms was very excited, and after untying the rope in his hand, he took the bamboo knife handed to him by the trainer, and said to Zhao Xiaogang with some suspicion: "You didn't lie to me, do you really let me go if you win?" ”

"Really."

"You swear!"

Zhao Xiaogang pulled out a horizontal knife and slapped him in the face, and scolded: "I swear by your mother, can Lao Tzu deceive you?" You are the ones who are going to die, what is there to deceive, if you don't fight it, right, if you don't fight Lao Tzu, I'll kill you now! ”

The Youzhou soldier from the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms thought to himself, anyway, he was dead, so he simply fought hard, and he only said: "I'll fight, I'll fight." ”

"Boy, just like you, I can fight three of them at all, I want revenge, in the next life." In the center of the venue, a Youzhou soldier named An Moyan held a bamboo knife with both hands and posed, and provoked very arrogantly.

"I'll kill you! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

On the other side, the farmer named Mu Feng Han's chest rose and fell violently, his eyes almost spewed fire, and he rushed over with a bamboo knife held high.

Mu Feng obviously doesn't know how to fight, his hands are raised high and slash down, the power is indeed great, but the flaws are even greater, if it is a fight with his life on the battlefield, the opponent only needs to stick to the front, and when he has not chopped down, he can be killed with a straight stab, and he can also use his shoulders to support the opponent's arm, so that the knife can't fall.

However, An Moyan is not a martial arts master, he has a crush on the thin and weak farmer opposite him, so he plans to break the force with force, An Moyan also raised the bamboo knife and slashed down, the bamboo knife touched, and Mu Feng was immediately beaten back a step.

An Moyan sneered, and wanted to stride forward, a bamboo knife slashed heavily on Mu Feng's shoulder, saying that it was a bamboo knife, but in fact, it was three pieces of slivers wrapped together with linen, similar to a stick, An Moyan believed that this knife would definitely be able to knock this thin opponent down, if not, he would have another knife, and then he could regain his freedom!

However, just as An Moyan took a step forward and used all the strength of his body to slash down, a piercing pain suddenly came from his waist on one side, in fact, he felt a trace of dull pain in his waist when he fought hard just now, what was going on?

At this time, Mu Feng, who took a step back and stabilized his figure, had already rushed over again with red eyes, this time he directly hit An Moyan, knocking him staggering, An Moyan was in a hurry, trying to stabilize his body but found that the waist on the left side could not exert any strength at all, and at this time Mu Feng was already crazy, and slashed three times in his chest in succession, An Moyan staggered backwards, and then arched his body and was speechless.

"Ahh Yes! Yes...... I'll kill you! The farmer named Mu Feng still went crazy and kicked at An Moyan. An Moyan vomited blood and couldn't speak.

Zhao Xiaogang came over and pulled Mu Feng away. Say loudly: "You won." This person can be dragged aside and at your disposal. ”

Two law enforcement soldiers came over and dragged An Moyan aside, Zhao Xiaogang gave the horizontal knife in his hand to Mu Feng along with ten silver coins, Mu Feng took the horizontal knife but did not take ten silver coins, he knelt down.

"What's going on?" It took a lot of effort for Zhao Xiaogang to pull him up from the ground.

"I don't want silver coins, I don't have a home now, I want to join the Tiance Army and kill the Youzhou rebels with you."

Zhao Xiaogang looked at the officers next to him. The officers nodded approvingly, Zhao Xiaogang slapped the silver coin on Mu Feng's hand again, and said with a smile: "Okay, I accepted you, but not everyone can add the Tiance Army, you start with the auxiliaries first, if you pass the layers of assessments, you can officially join the Tiance Army." ”

Mu Feng was overjoyed and hurriedly said that he would work hard, and then went over to execute An Moyan with the horizontal knife, this time he slashed at An Moyan's chest. Blood shot out and squirted onto his face. The fishy smell was tangy, he was slightly stunned, and his hands were still a little trembling, but in the next second, he slashed the second and third knives, and his mouth was already crying: "Daddy, Auntie, Xiaocui, I avenge you!" ”

Over there, the other nine Youzhou Army prisoners of war were stunned, they couldn't understand why this was happening at all, An Moyan seemed to be frozen all of a sudden; On the other side, a dozen other refugees were surprised and regretful, eager to try; And the Thousand Days Soldiers and Peasant Soldiers whispered about it.

Zhao Xiaogang shouted again in a voice like a broken gong: "See, this Mu Feng is thinner than all of you, and he doesn't know kung fu, he just dares to work hard!" The result? As a result, these Youzhou beast soldiers were defeated in two clicks!

Each of you eats better than Mu Feng and is stronger than him, and if he can win, you will have no problem; These Youzhou arms are ferocious, but they are also human beings, and they will hurt, bleed, and die if they are cut down with a knife!

As I said a long time ago, they are just a bunch of rubbish, just because they are very fierce and scare you, in fact, as long as you dare to fight hard, they are not your opponents! ”

In the military array, Wang Laosan carefully observed the remaining Nine Lives Youzhou prisoners of war, and found that they were still menacing before, but now there was obvious fear in their eyes, it turned out that they were all pretending to be scary before. Since this thin and weak farmer Mu Feng has won the battle, he must have no problem, it seems that these Youzhou soldiers are all like this, and he was really afraid of it before!

Then Wang Laosan began to be jealous again, these homeless people are really easy to earn ten silver coins, but unfortunately they can't move forward. He was joined by a dozen other refugees who rushed to join the heads-up.

Zhao Xiaogang picked a few that were pleasing to the eye, and singled them out in turn, and the result was that all the refugees knocked the Youzhou prisoners of war to the ground within two or three moves.

Then the more they went to the back, the more frightened these remaining Youzhou prisoners of war became, and they trembled and weakened before they even played, and seeing them behave like this, the more confident the refugees became, and the more fierce they played, and the more suspenseful the result became.

Of course, there are also a few people who are fierce and unbelieving by nature, and they burst out with the greatest strength to fight to the death, but as a result, their waists hurt as soon as they exerted their strength, and then they were put down in one round.

As a result, the entire Tiance Army camp was simply boiling!

Entering the mother, it turns out that these Youzhou beast soldiers are all such goods, relying on their fierce appearance to kill so many people, in fact, they are all a group of waste, just such a group of waste, and dare to come to rob our Duji Dao!

Is there any reason for this? If you don't say it, you must have killed them to the point that you can't even recognize his aunt!

Zhao Xiaogang shouted loudly again: "See, it's such a group of brutal wastes who want to kill into Dugi Dao, rob our things, kill your parents and children, and spoil your wives and daughters!"

How do we do it? ”

"Kill him ~ Niang ~ Youzhou Hu Dog!"

"Kill them all!"

"All of them, King Jianning has an order, tomorrow's war, you must strictly abide by the battlefield discipline, obey orders and commands, we will definitely be able to win!"

King Jianning said, King Lanling is the god of war, and now he has been poisoned to death by Gu, his heroic spirit is not far away, and he will definitely bless us in heaven, and tomorrow's war, our army will definitely win. The Youzhou army will definitely be defeated! ”

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

A thunderous roar remembered. At this moment, the morale of tens of thousands of Tiance troops suddenly became extremely high. And if someone has very good hearing, they can hear that in the Youzhou camp five miles to the north, the morale of more than 40,000 Youzhou troops is also extremely high.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Qubing listened to the same loud cheers and shouts in the camps of both sides, and carefully gave Li Qi a blood test, and about ten minutes later, Li Qi put on his shirt. The two began to eat.

Xiao Quzhi said suddenly: "Li Tianxi just received news three days ago that His Majesty has appointed Du Qianyun as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and Li Fu has replaced General Li Chengen as General Lin Wei of Youyu, you know, right?" ”

As the intelligence leader of Tiance Mansion and the number one leader, Li Qi naturally didn't know, he sighed and said: "He also vigorously rewarded the officials of the Chang'an Forbidden Army, inspected the three forbidden army teams two days ago, and rewarded them again. Grandpa Huang, this is guarding against us! ”

"I have ordered the members of the Tiance Secret Guard to go to Taiyuan to kidnap or assassinate Du Qianyun, and asked Li Tianxi to order people to spread Li Fu's old bottom in Jiannan Province in Chang'an City. Once Du Qianyun is killed, our people will win over and buy the officers and men of the Hedong Army and ask them to nominate Li Guangbi as the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu. At that time, Your Majesty will definitely be suspicious of us, Xiaoqi, what do you think we should do? ”

Li Qi looked at Xiao Quai's eyes, and said sincerely: "Master, I know what you mean, what kind of person the emperor is, Master knows it, and Xiao Qi also knows it." For the sake of the throne, he imprisoned his brothers, imprisoned his sons, and his three biological sons, and he was killed by him just because he complained a little.

Once the emperor knows that we have done these things, he will definitely do something to us, and Master wants me to make a choice, right? ”

Xiao Quzhi looked at him and said, "How will you choose?" ”

Li Qi said, "Master, what do you want?" ”

Xiao Quzhi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "What I want, you should know, except for the one I told you and Yanjian before, find a way to solve the problem that a society, or a dynasty, will collapse at a certain stage of development."

There is also what I want to make our Datang extremely strong, there are fewer and fewer poor people in Datang, as long as they want, everyone can go to school, no one will go hungry, let alone famine, everyone can enjoy the rights they deserve, can live with dignity, and have a sense of security;

We Tang people will be the masters of the whole world, the most noble, the proudest, and the most wanton people in the world, this whole world, some places, we must firmly occupy, and other places, although not the land of the Tang Dynasty, but the things there, the people there, must be at our disposal!

What I want is that before I retire at the age of thirty-five, the territory of Datang will be twice as large as it is now, and there will be no foreign enemies, no matter how they curse us in their hearts, but in front of us, they must lie on the ground and tremble;

What I want is that our Han culture, the civilization of the Han family, will spread to the whole world, at least within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, all people must identify with the culture we say we admire, identify with and love the country of the Tang Dynasty, all Tang people are proud of being Tang people, and all non-Tang people are eager to become a Tang people, and take pride in learning the Han civilization;

What I want is that before I retire, Datang's science and technology can be fully developed, people's living standards will be generally improved, and the railways running through the north and south and across the east and west can be built! The civilized Tang people, especially the Han people, who are the main body of the Tang people, will never be threatened by foreign enemies! ”

Li Qi said excitedly and seriously: "Master, what you think is what Xiao Qi thinks, Master's dream is to realize these, and Xiao Qi's dream is to realize these dreams for Master!" ”

Xiao Quzhi said: "What if I want you to be the emperor? ”

Li Qi looked at Xiao Quai's eyes: "Then Xiao Qi will be the emperor!" ”

"If it was like the time of Emperor Taizong, the emperor who ruled the world together with the monarch and the ministers, could not be the emperor who monopolized power and dictated the cadres like now? Or that the emperor can't make his own decisions about most things, His Majesty consults with the ministers, and the emperor must also abide by the law, but the formulation of the law is not up to the emperor, are you willing to do such an emperor? ”

"I do!" Li Qi agreed without hesitation, and then after a while, he suddenly said, "What are you going to do with Grandpa Huang and my Daddy?" ”

Xiao Quzhi said: "Naturally, they will give birth first, and when the political situation stabilizes, they can no longer or will not have an impact on the court situation, so they can do whatever they want." ”

Li Qi said happily: "Then let's start working hard, the sooner we realize this day, we can also go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers and enjoy life earlier." Xiao Qi really wanted the Youzhou army to start attacking now, and Xiao Qi took a thousand Tiance cavalry to rush to the Chinese army and capture the fat man alive. ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled, this apprentice is still so excited and straightforward, but he can say such a thing and make such a statement today, it is really not in vain that he has worked hard.

"As long as we can win tomorrow, it will be successful, and it doesn't make much sense to capture An Lushan alive. Also, from now on, you have to follow me every time you go to battle. ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled and said: "On the battlefield, I am the king of Jianning, and you are the iron guard of Jianning." (To be continued.) )
