Yao Hong listened to Yao Hedu's complaints, and looked at the map with his hands behind his back.

The Yellow River made a turn on the map, changing from north to south to west to east. The point of turning the corner also happens to be the place where Weishui is injected. The confluence of the two rivers is the Tongguan of the east gate of Chang'an. On the picture, this Xiongguan is marked with a cross, indicating that it has fallen. The Jin army Wang Zhen Evil Department is entrenched there. After Yao Shao's violent death, his deputy, Yao Shan Xiao Gui Cao Sui, held on to Dingcheng, like a resolute stone, blocking the wheels of the Jin army's chariot and preventing them from pushing further westward.

Looking up from Tongguan, there is also a short line, leading from the Yellow River in the east-west direction, pointing to the left bank of the Yellow River in the north-south direction, where the Jin army is trying to take Puban, which echoes Tongguan. Yao Pu, the general of Pusaka, is Yao Hong's half-brother, the prince of the plains of the Great Qin State. When the first emperor was alive, he said that Yao Pu was not good at field warfare, but he was a master of defense. With him, it is rare for the Jin army to aspire to the north.

Looking from Tongguan to the lower right of the map, Wuguan is also drawn with a cross. Starting from this fork, a line with a spearhead went straight from southeast to northwest, and had already forced to the Qingni area under the pass. In several fortresses on this line, the defenders fled without even a single arrow. But this decline stopped when it reached Yaoguan, because Yaoguan was in the hands of Yao Hedu. Yao He is the youngest commander of the Qin Army, and he is also Yao Hong's closest cousin.

Although the Jin army was aggressive, at least in three directions, it encountered good generals loyal to Great Qin.

Or they all met the brothers of the Great Qin royal family.

Yao Hong thought with a little sadness, the Han people said that they fought tiger brothers and went into battle as father and son soldiers, but if you look at the Jin army, how many of the people who worked for the Sima family are surnamed Sima? Looking at the Qin army again, the trustworthy generals are all blood relatives. Great Qin has been established for so many years, and he has not cultivated a few trustworthy people with different surnames!

This is due to heart disease: Daqin's own country was stolen from Fu Jian by taking advantage of the chaos, so it has almost become a national policy to take a self-portrait in the mirror and never trust a different race and surname. Until now, when a strong enemy knocks on the door, only Yao Jiaerlang gritted his teeth to protect the foundation of his ancestors.

It's okay, at least everyone is fighting for themselves, for their wives and children, there is no room for laziness and vacillation, and there is no way out for stealing and speculating.

Thinking of this, I looked at Yao Hedu's angry face and thought he was very cute.

"Leopard, dissipate your anger, you can't be angry with those villains. You did the right thing, everyone who retreated, and the generals above were all beheaded, but the colonels and soldiers were all exempted. ”

Yao He heard the emperor's small words calling himself, and a warm current surged into his heart, and after a closer look, he hadn't seen him for half a year, and the emperor's cousin's sideburns had white hair, and he was desolate. Of all the cousins, this brother was the one who didn't like to fight and win the battle, and he was not keen on war, so God forced war on him.

But this sentimental brother who likes to write poems and endowments actually has the courage to walk out of the deep palace and cross the horse to go on a personal expedition, which makes Yao He extremely excited. After all, what the Qin army on the southern front lacks most now is morale. The emperor did not need to charge into battle himself, as soon as his umbrella appeared on the horizon, the soldiers of the three armies would cheer and fight for the lead.

Yao Hong looked at Yao Hedu's eyes excitedly, smiled slightly, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Leopard, tell me how we can destroy the Jin army in front of us."

Yao Hedu has been thinking hard about countermeasures and collecting intelligence these days, and he has already made up his mind:

"The younger brother thinks that the only way to strangle Han Xin's road is to use Li Zuoche's strategy!"

Yao Hong nodded, not agreeing with Yao Hedu's attention, but appreciating his concise speech, and using an allusion, he made the whole meaning clear.

When Chu and Han were fighting, Han Xin went north on an expedition to the border of Zhao. Li Zuoche, a strategist of Zhao State, offered a plan to Chen Yu, the general of Jingcheng, and asked him to take advantage of the high road of Jingcheng Mountain and the difficulty of the army to deploy, block Han Xin's road, deep ditches and high bases, and hold on to avoid battle, and at the same time send small troops to attack the Han army's grain road in many ways. Han Xin came from afar, he couldn't fight, and he was afraid that he would be attacked by the heel when he retreated, and the food could no longer keep up, so he basically collapsed without a fight. It's a pity that Chen Yu didn't understand Han Xin, he was stubborn and underestimated the enemy, and did not adopt Li Zuoche's Jianyi, and was finally defeated by Han Xin in a backwater battle.

Obviously, Yao He did not advocate leaving the customs and fighting in the field of the Jin army.

"Your thoughts are the same as the teacher's."

Yao Hedu had also studied under Zhong Like, and he was a little excited when he heard the teacher resonate with him. But looking at Yao Hong's expression, he didn't seem to agree with the defensive position. He frowned, paced back and forth a few steps, stood in front of the map and looked at it for a while, then turned and made a knife gesture:

"No, you can't defend, you have to attack! For a while, the southeast front has been in a rout, and the morale of the army has fallen to the bottom. If I take 30,000 elites with me, and I shrink into the city and dare not go out, then the three armies will be even more depressed and desperate, and the Jin army will be even more arrogant. It must be fought out, and the Jin army must be given a dismount under the pass, and then take advantage of the victory to counterattack and drive this southern barbarian out of the Wuguan. Only in this way can we defend Guanzhong and ensure that Chang'an is safe. ”

Yao He felt that what the emperor said was reasonable, but after this period of observation, he felt that the Jin army was not easy to deal with.

"Your Majesty has good intentions, and my brother understands. It's just that the enemy situation outside the border is unknown, and it still needs to be investigated. In terms of numbers, the officers and soldiers at the front who retreated all said that the Jin army had at least 50,000 people, and some even said that it was 80,000. The younger brother thought that the Jin army should not exceed 30,000 at most. Now there are 10,000 people under his subordinates, and there are 30,000 or 40,000 of the elite veterans who can really charge into battle, and there are barely 20,000 of them. Judging from the fact that all the Yulin cavalry were annihilated today, the Jin army's combat effectiveness is superior. Such 20,000 or 30,000 is equal to our 40,000 or 50,000. In such a comparison, our army has no numerical superiority. In this form, instead of taking the risk of attacking, it is better to stick to the danger, and it is better to "

Yao Hong was playing with a piece of paperweight on the table, when he heard Yao Hedu suddenly stop talking, raised his head and smiled to encourage him to continue.

"The younger brother thought that it was best for His Majesty to organize a review in the customs and conduct a reward and punishment to boost morale. Then His Majesty quietly returned to Chang'an, leaving here the honor guard and a part of the feather forest to cover people's eyes and ears. When the time is ripe, the subordinate brother will lead the elite to attack, so it can be called perfect, I don't know your majesty."

Yao Hong knew in his heart that Yao He was all for his own good, but his anger swelled up, and he still slapped the paperweight on the desk. He had never deliberately practiced his strength, and in a fit of anger, he didn't know how much force he used, and he actually slapped a jade paperweight into two sections. The Yulin guards outside the door jumped in vigilantly, but they saw the shape clearly at a glance, and without waiting for Yao Hong's signal, they withdrew in panic.

Yao He was taken aback. He didn't expect Yao Hong's reaction to be so violent.

Yao Hong himself was also taken aback. Then I realized that I had lost my temper. It's not that you can't get angry with a loyal front commander, but it's very rude to get angry because people are worried about your safety. But as an emperor, he can't turn the rudder immediately. suppressed the anger and waved his hand at Yao Hedu:

"Out of the way, don't mind. I know you're worried I'm going to slip up. But have you thought about it, the dignified Emperor Qin, he didn't have the courage to risk the arrows and stones, put up an empty shelf to deceive the three armies, and hid in his comfort nest, and he didn't even have the courage to watch from the wall. Even if this battle is won, bearing such a stain of deceiving the world and stealing fame, greedy for life and afraid of death, how can I still have the face to see my ancestors and ancestors in the future, how can I still have the face to rule the world, and how can I still have the face to reward and punish those soldiers who were born and died! Don't mention this kind of trick in the future, otherwise I don't believe you are actually my upright leopard brother! ”

Yao He was first ashamed, then ashamed, and when he heard it, he was overjoyed. People say that this emperor's brother is weak and weak, but today it seems that after all, it is the blood and blood of Emperor Zhaowu and Emperor Wen. Yao He was born in the court, his father was in the prime minister, and he was used to deceiving and manipulating the whole person's job, he was used to seeing people who would do anything for the end, people who were used to the yang and yin, and people who were used to hiding knives behind their mouths with honey on their mouths, and they had long since stopped treating conspiracy as a bad thing. He thought that as long as he could win the battle, it would be okay to deceive his subordinates as a monarch, but when he understood Yao Hong's intentions, he immediately felt that this was the real mind of the Son of Heaven. Then a trace of sadness passed through his mind:

God bless me Daqin, such a good emperor, but he encountered such a dangerous situation.

Another thought: Maybe it is because God wants to bless me Daqin that he will use such a situation to test this emperor's brother to see if he has the power to return to heaven. If he can pass this hurdle, then Daqin will be very blessed, and he will definitely be extremely prosperous, prosperous, and glorify the ancestral foundation. And I, Yao Hedu, want to assist him in such a difficult situation to turn the tide and achieve world-class martial arts.

Thinking of this, he knelt down and paused:

"Brother Chen's words are gaffes, please add your majesty."

After Yao Hong finished expressing his chest, his mentality had calmed down slightly, and he felt that the room was a little stuffy, so he stretched out his arms to expand his chest, and leaned over to help Yao He up:

"Okay, brother, go straight, don't mind. I've been in the house for a long time, so come and go with me to the barracks. ”

The crescent moon flashed out in the sky, like a stealth warrior, accidentally exposing the corner of Changge.

The Milky Way is full of joy, running through the long sky, and thousands of immortal chariots and horses may be coming and going on this avenue, but mortals are entangled in endless troubles and cannot see their whereabouts.

Yao Hong's palace is actually an abandoned Taoist temple that was urgently repaired. There is a hill behind the Taoist temple, and many tents are set up at the foot of the mountain.

The brothers walked slowly up the hill, the guards hanging far behind.

Yao Hong unfastened her belt on the top of the mountain, let the wind blow open her clothes, and suddenly felt refreshed. Looking up at the starry sky, looking at the bright sky, thinking that countless ** characters have already turned into dust, and the universe has no borders, and the big stars seem to never fade, and suddenly feel that any success or failure can be as light as a goose feather. If Jiangshan Sheji could pack it into a burden, he would be willing to do it immediately, put this heavy burden on the top of the mountain, and jump lightly, like the masters who got rid of the world, and lived in the fairy world from now on. If he was a prince in his previous life and a prince himself, he can let go of a qiē, why can't this prince?

His chest swelled up, and he just wanted to occupy a small poem, but after thinking about it, Yao He was afraid that he would think that I was not doing my job. After this setback, he lost all interest, sighed lightly, and decided to go down the mountain.

When I walked to the bottom of the mountain, I suddenly felt the urge to urinate.

"Kazuto, you wait for me, I'll pee in the bushes."

Yao He just wanted to say that it was appropriate to go back to the palace, but Yao Hong had already lifted the corners of his robe and walked into the bushes. The Son of Heaven peed, the weeds and rain were wet, but the courtiers were not allowed to watch, but Yao He was afraid that Yao Hong would fall under the dark light, so he had to follow closely.

Yao Hong finished urinating silently along the trunk of a tree, and was about to leave after straightening his robe and pants, when he suddenly heard someone chatting in the nearest tent, and subconsciously stopped.

Apparently two soldiers who couldn't sleep were talking about the battle situation:

"Do you think His Majesty can defeat the Nanban?"

"Yulin Riding has been used, it should be possible."

"Don't be superstitious about any Yulin riding, Tongguan is lost by Yulin riding."

"That's General Yao Shao, General Yao, underestimating the enemy."

"Anyway, I think Nanban is very powerful, and he fought all the way from Wuguan, and no one could stop him."

"You save it, it's not that no one can stop it, it's that no one can stop it at all!"

That's when an older voice interjected:

"You two dog heads, don't sleep in the middle of the night, and don't ask others to sleep, quickly close your dog's mouth and go to the corpse!"

One of the soldiers who spoke earlier asked flatteringly:

"Brother Half Immortal, you are our Zhiduoxing, you should tell me, Emperor Xi à personally conquest, can we defeat the Jin army?"

The veteran snorted:

"His Majesty the Emperor's personal expedition, that's what the Emperor Majesty is worried about, your year's military salary, you can't even afford a meal for His Majesty the Emperor, you are so idle, what are you worried about the country and the people, and then don't sleep Lao Tzu kicks you!"

But the two soldiers did not retreat:

"You just tell me, it's right, next month's military pay is down, I will invite you to drink wine and eat dog meat."

A few more soldiers followed and coaxed, but the old soldier could not stand up, as if he sat up, and his voice changed:

"You bunnies, you rabbits, you don't know how to see the will of heaven just by knowing who has the most soldiers and whose generals are powerful."

The soldiers complimented who is as profound and profound as the big brother.

"Do you know what a place name is? Pang Tong during the Three Kingdoms, known as the phoenix, died in Luofengpo, Yizhou, which is called committing a place name. Xiang Yu has a feather in his name, which was supposed to fly in the sky, but he met the feather, the bird should fall, and it couldn't fly, so Xiang Yu was completely finished under the wall. Fu Jian's younger brother Fu Rong, a hibiscus, should stay in a quiet pond, but he went to the water, the water is very big and urgent, as a result, the hibiscus was washed away, and Fu Rong died in the chaos of the battle of the water. If you are literate, you will go through ancient books, and there will be a lot of such things. ”

A soldier said that this has something to do with us.

There was a slap on the head in the tent, followed by a low laugh:

"You kid is in a hurry to eat, but I haven't it today. Think about it, what's the name of this level? ”

A few people said one by one.

"Whose family is our Daqin?"

Needless to say, of course it's the Yao family.

"That's right! 峣關峣峣, Guan 峣峣, is to lock up the Yao family! It's all locked up, how much better can it be? ”

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

The veteran seemed to realize in an instant that he had violated one of the strictest military disciplines, and he was already the leader of the bewitching and shaking the morale of the army, and there was a trace of panic in his voice:

"Hey, hey, I'm just talking nonsense, it's a joke, I can't take it seriously. You guys are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense, and you are not allowed to spread nonsense, or don't blame me for being unkind. ”

A few soldiers said in a panic, you didn't say anything, we didn't hear anything, go to sleep, hurry up and go to bed.

There was silence.

Yao Hong saw with his spare eyes that Yao He was already drawing his sword.

No Lord will forgive such a soldier.

He wanted to say that it doesn't have to be like this, could it be that my Great Qin's national fortune can really be ruined by the stinky mouth of a soldier, but another voice stubbornly suppressed the willingness to forgive. The people of this tent must die! Otherwise, tomorrow the rumor of the name of the place will spread and soon spread throughout the barracks.

But why do you care so much? Can't you just listen to what you say? He was frightened by this inner question. Just now, he listened to every word of the little soldier almost with bated breath, and he didn't miss a word. Every sentence made his heart tremble. At the end of his hearing, he almost regretted why he had come to this unlucky ghost place with an unlucky name. Odd! I have been unaware of this terrible place name homonym, and in the end it was actually broken by a small soldier.

He was crushed by this creep.

The back is full of cold sweat.

Silently watched Yao Hedu wave his hand and signal to the guards. The guards rushed over, Yao He whispered a few words to them, and one of the guards hurried away, bringing a dozen guards after a while.

Yao Hedu whispered a few words again.

The guards waited quietly for a long time, and when they heard the sound of snoring coming from the tent, they drew their scimitars and quietly touched them.

It should be covering his mouth before moving his hand, because Yao Hong didn't hear a scream.

Suddenly, the guards came out, carrying seven or eight heads, and even in the night, they could see the dripping bits and pieces.

Yao Hong couldn't hold back, rushed to the side, and spit into the bushes.

The guards watched him silently.

On the way back to the palace with him, Yao Hedu seemed to tell and seemed to say to himself:

"Tomorrow, hang up all these heads to show the public, and post another example, saying that they tried to desert at night, but they were intercepted and killed by the Yulin Cavalry, and the heads of the owls were shown to the public to set an example. However, in private, he should still send more money and food to his family, which is said to be the grace of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Yao Hong waved his hand silently, meaning that you can do whatever you want.

He didn't expect that after the expedition, the first killing would be such an unknown appearance of a chicken and a dog thief.

He's going to fall asleep.

Escape this filthy night.
