"The famous general of the Southern Liang mentioned in the 'famous teacher and general Mo Zijiao, thousands of troops and horses avoid white robes' is my great-grandfather?" Chen Kedi's face was incredulous, the boy began to learn literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he respected many famous generals in history, especially the generals of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Because he was born in the south, he admired Chen Qingzhi, a famous general of the Southern Liang who had defeated 300,000 with 7,000, even more.

It's just that he never thought that one day, he would be told that he was the great-grandson of the invincible god of war.

In an instant, Chen Kedi was a little dazed, slightly open his mouth and wanted to laugh but didn't know how to express it, just stood so blankly. Chen Qingzhi, the most famous general of the Southern Dynasty for hundreds of years, defeated 300,000 enemy troops with 7,000 soldiers and horses in the Northern Expedition, and did not lose a single defeat in dozens of battles. Such a hero is actually his great-grandfather. It is strange to say that Chen Qingzhi died at the age of fifty-six, and as soon as the hero died, the once powerful Southern Liang began to move towards destruction. On the contrary, although the originally chaotic Northern Wei Dynasty was later divided into two, there was still a Great Sui that unified the north in the end. And the strong Southern Liang, in the end, changed eleven emperors in eleven years, and finally completely destroyed, Hou Jing's rebellion, and even completely destroyed the Southern Dynasty, countless Jiangnan clans were wiped out, and prosperous cities such as Jiankang became white, so the south became weaker and weaker, and finally the Northern and Southern Dynasties across the river for hundreds of years also ended.

As a descendant of the Southern Dynasty, Chen Kefu knew very well in his heart that although the troubled times of the Southern Liang gave the ancestor Chen Ba the opportunity to take Liang Jianchen first, in the end, the entire Southern Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Regime, which was actually the lead laid from that time.

Today, I can see the descendants of the famous Nanliang general Chen Qingzhi again, and Chen Kefu's heart is full of surprise and excitement. Chen Kedi's appearance made him feel as if God was reminding him not to repeat the mistakes of Nanliang Xiaoyan. Xiao Yan was wise for a lifetime, but the last ten years were extremely deprived. So much so that at the age of eighty-seven, the capital was broken by the rebels. Finally starved to death.

"Defeat the enemy, are you willing to join the Chen army?"

"General, yes." Chen Kedi said firmly.

"From this day onwards. You can be my guard, and with your ability, you can be a silver armor guard. But you start with the Black Iron Imperial Guard and give you the rank of Seventh, are you willing? Chen Kefu looked at the young man and said.

The young man was stunned for a moment, his face full of doubts.

Chen Lei on the side said with a smile: "This is His Majesty Emperor Da Chen, when you see Your Majesty, don't hurry up and salute!" ”

"You are the Son of Heaven?" The young man looked at Chen Kefu, who was still dressed as a Yulin officer, and asked hesitantly.

"That's right, I am Chen Kefu, the son of Da Chen, my name is Chen Kefu. Your name is Chen Kedi, and our name sounds like two brothers. Defeat the enemy, I heard you say that you haven't married yet?

"Yes. Please also ask Your Majesty to give me words. Chen Kedi's reaction was not slow. As soon as he saw the emperor say this, he immediately went up the slope.

Chen Kefu smiled. Looking at Chen Kedi at this time, it was as if he saw himself a few years ago. At that time, if he hadn't crossed over, he was afraid that he would only be a young farmer of a Hebei farm who was bigger than Chen Kedi.

"You and I meet today because of fate, my name is restored, and your name is defeated. The word I was taken by the Sui Emperor of the previous dynasty, and the word broke the army, which means killing and conquering. Today, I see that you also have the ambition to make meritorious contributions, so I will take the word greedy wolf for you. Fierce as a tiger, ruthless as a sheep. Greedy as a wolf! The name is to defeat the enemy, the word is greedy wolf, I hope you will go to the battlefield in the future to defeat the enemy and make contributions. ”

"Greedy wolf. Greedy wolf. The young man silently read the words given by the emperor twice, and his heart was excited. The emperor's words are broken, and his words are greedy wolves, both of which are one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper, and it is a supreme blessing to be able to get involved with the emperor.

After taking the table name for Chen Kedi, Chen Kefu, who was in a good mood, immediately asked the palace to prepare the imperial meal, which was to celebrate the good news of the two marshals outside the Saiwai, and to be happy to receive such a brave young general as the descendants of the famous general Chen Qingzhi. The other ministers in Taiyuan City were busy with war and government affairs, and none of them had time to drink with the emperor. However, Chen Kefu didn't care, and pulled Chen Lei and other guards, just as Yang Shanhui, Qu Tutong brothers and other generals who were originally stationed in Huainan and other places went north to pass through Taiyuan one after another, Chen Kefu just pulled them into the palace to go to the banquet, on the one hand, it was a celebration, and on the other hand, it was also for the generals to catch the wind. …,

During the war, there was not much pomp and circumstance in the palace banquet, just a lively wine banquet, knowing that the imperial court had just won a big victory, and the generals who went to the banquet were also happy to drink until midnight.

The monarchs and ministers on Da Chen's side were overjoyed, but Ye Hu, the Turkic Great Khan Tong Ye Hu stationed in Yuanyang Town, had completely become an angry red-eyed wolf at this time.

In a short period of time, the soldiers were lost, the old brothers were killed in battle, the Khan generals were captured, the grain and grass were burned, and before the war began, 130,000 soldiers and horses had been lost, which was a great shame. If the loss of 130,000 horses can be exchanged for the heavy damage of the Chen army, it is fine, but such a loss, but the Chen army only lost about 20,000 soldiers and horses. A loss of one to six, where does this put his face on the Turkic Great Khan?

What made him even more angry was that he had sent several arrows in a row to Mo Helu and the other three little khans, asking them to speed up and rush to converge. But by today, his son Ye Tale had arrived with 90,000 soldiers and horses, but Mo Helu and them were still far away. This situation made Tong Yehu's heart even more angry.

At the beginning, he teamed up with the little Yili Khan, and the two major tribes joined forces to defeat the Daro Khan, snatched the position of the Western Turk Khan in his hands, and then unified the Eastern and Western Turks. But now, the most loyal old man of the little Khan, the Turks, has died in battle, and the tribes under the command of Yili have begun to be chaotic. Losing Yili's strong support, and successively losing high-ranking Khan generals such as Que Dushe, Ashina, Da Knightler, Ashina, and Simo, Tong Yehu has begun to feel a thick chill in his heart.

The Turkic steppes emphasize the respect of the strong, and it is because of this that he was able to snatch the throne of Khan from his nephew. But now, without Yili's support, he can't completely deter Mo Helu and the others.

Before the war began, Tong Ye Hu had already begun to feel that he had lost the victory in this war. Although less than 30,000 of the 130,000 people killed in the battle were directly under the Khan, the Yili tribe was basically crippled, and several other tribes attached to the Khan were also basically crippled. Although he received 90,000 horses and horses from Tiele surnamed Jiu brought by his son Yanye. However, the combined number of soldiers and horses in the hands of the three khans of Mohedu, Niyi, and Tong'e will also reach more than 100,000, and if they knew about the defeat here, they might even add more soldiers and horses privately. At that time, the strength of the two sides will be almost the same.

Fight this battlefield. The original purpose of Tong Yehu was not only to suppress the power of the Central Plains, but also to extort from the Central Plains, and the main purpose was to borrow the southern expedition. Use the hand of Chen Dynasty to weaken the strength of the three little khans of Mohedu, who are secretly opposed to him, in order to increase the prestige of his great khan of Turkic unity.

Pity. It wasn't as he thought. First of all, the hard-line attitude of Chen Kefu, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, surprised him. Chen Chao not only did not have the slightest intention of peace, but took the initiative to attack, it seems that Chen Chao is the one who really takes the reason, he mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, Chen Chao is not willing to give them even a little grain and grass to ease the relationship.

On the other hand, Mo Helu and the others were also delayed, and finally the Chen Dynasty suddenly sent troops, which finally led to a situation that he was most unwilling to see. Not only did he fail to weaken the strength of either the Chen Dynasty or Mo Helu, but his own direct forces suffered a serious blow. Until now. He was already riding a tiger south, and he couldn't advance or retreat.

Going forward, there was a Chen Pojun who was even more ruthless and tough than him, in front of Yanmen Pass. Don't give an inch.

Back. Mo Helu and the others may have been waiting to see his jokes. If you don't succeed here, go back in disgrace. This is tantamount to a serious blow to his prestige, how will he command the vast Turkic Khanate in the future?

According to his temper, after being so humiliated at this time, Tong Ye Hu dispatched his eagle and his hound to peel off all the skins of Chen Jun in Dali City, and make a blanket to spread in his sweat tent from now on, and trample under his feet forever. But reason told him that he could not do this, and that there was a purpose in the war. It's just hatred or fighting with blood, that's just the work of mediocrity. …,

At this time, even if he really annihilated the tens of thousands of Chen troops in Dali City, it would not mean much to him. That would only consume his already small number of rich troops.

However, Tong Yehu was indeed sensible, or in the mouths of other Turkic nobles, it was the Great Khan who was deceived by the pillow wind of the Central Plains woman. But the Turkic nobles refused to give up, especially the tribal leaders to whom the little Khan of Yili belonged. Although all the Turkic tribes were under the jurisdiction of the Great Turkic Khan, according to the old rules, they only listened to the little Khan of Yili, and did not have to listen to the protector of the Emperor.

The Great Khan said that it was forbidden to fight, but there were still many leaders who were unwilling to accept it.

The distance between Dali City and Yuanyang Town is not far, only a day's distance, and the fast horse is even a little more than half a day. Since Tong Ye Hu led his troops to retreat to Yuanyang Town, the Chen army in Dali City has almost finished resting. The Turks retreated, but Chen's army came up again.

Every evening, there would always be some Chen Jun scout cavalry squads and squads near Yuanyang, trying their best to tease and lure them into battle. The more they refused to fight, the more rampant they became. Sometimes even in broad daylight, horses are driven straight to within bow and arrow distance of the main camp.

Tong Yehu was unwilling to fight this senseless battle, but Ye Yetler felt that it was incompatible with the art of war. If you go out to battle rashly, you will only fall for Chen Jun's plan and be dragged by Chen Jun. Therefore, both the Tongye Protector and the Wild Leaf strictly forbade all armies to go to war. However, Tong Ye Hu has been refusing to come out of the golden tent since he returned to Yuanyang, and he only said that he was recuperating from his injuries. And although the Great Khan's son, Satler, tried his best to explain this to the nobles, this had little effect on the nobles, who had long been carried away by anger. Although Eli had been dead for many days, it only made them angrier.

By the third day, the anger of the nobles finally broke out irrepressibly. A group of young nobles belonging to Yili ignored the order to prohibit attack, and led their own military horses out of the camp and attacked the Chen army's rangers. Chen Qi, who was originally a big look, seemed to be caught off guard and fled, leaving behind a lot of supplies, and even some horses.

The nobles of Yili's department laughed and mocked: "These guys are running away so fast, they don't have the real ability to fight, but they run really fast." ”

'What a trick! That's not it! I don't think Yetler has grown up yet, there is no hair on his mouth, and he can't do things well! ‘

The young nobles then plundered some of the armor, weapons, and horses left behind by Chen's army, and returned triumphantly and proudly. But waiting for the return of this group of victorious young nobles in the big camp was a stern order.

'The Great Khan and the Khatar have forbidden to attack, but you have violated the military orders and fought the enemy without authorization, and your crimes are serious and should be dealt with according to military law. After the violators of military regulations disarmed, they were all escorted to the gate of the camp and beheaded by the public, and the whole battalion was passed on as a warning! ‘

As the eldest son of Tong Yehu, although he is not yet thirty years old, he has the style of a father. Tong Yehu temporarily ignored the military, and the military camp was temporarily under his control. The reason why he gave such a stern order was also a matter of course and imperative to maintain the organizational order of the army. Otherwise, if it is not pursued because of a small victory, then there will be a precedent to follow for violating the order of the big peach leaf in the future, which will cause a bad impact.

Although he is a Turkic, he is also the same as his uncle and cousin Daro Khan, etc., who have received a complete education in Han culture since he was a child, especially the art of war and strategy, and he is very familiar with it. Generations of Khans have been trying to use Han culture to change the traditional system of the Turkic people, and change the loose tribal alliance of the khanate into a centralized khanate like the Central Plains Dynasty. In his opinion, the steppe tribes are inherently stronger than the Central Plains, but there are few steppe khanates that can continue undefeated for hundreds of years, and in this regard, he greatly admires the system of the Central Plains.

But the hearts of the young nobles were filled with resentment and resentment. All the people were intoxicated with the momentary victory, and thought that they were heroes who did not need to live forever. Dadath, the leader of the tribe with the title of Qi Jin, tore off his leather helmet and threw it to the ground angrily, shouting loudly: 'I am not afraid of death, but if I do not fight the enemy and die on the battlefield, but I die in the hands of a little guy who cannot distinguish between right and wrong, and does not even know anything about courage and self-esteem, I cannot bear it! I don't need you to execute me, I'd rather kill myself on the spot now! ‘

There were even other tribal leaders who shouted: "We belong to the command of Yili Khan, what qualifications does the Khan have to punish us?" Yili Khan is already dead, what are we going to fight, let's go back to the tribe, the cattle and sheep in the tribe are still waiting for the winter hay. ”

"That's it, that's it, Yili Khan is dead, what are we still doing here, let's go. Let's go now! "More and more leaders are starting to shout!
