The weather is surprisingly good, the sky is clear and blue, there is no trace of clouds, and the rising sun sprinkles the golden light on the earth without hesitation, dazzling and painful. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under the rising sun, the main force of the Dou army, which was harassed by the Sui army's tactics, only left more than 10,000 auxiliary troops to guard the camp, and more than 80,000 armed troops poured out of the nest, under the leadership of Dou Jiande, they were fierce and killed at the east gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, the huge army went north to the Yellow River, west to Bishui, and south to Queshan, and the queue that marched according to the rank was as thick as five miles from east to west, and more than ten miles long from north to south.

After receiving the scout report, without waiting for Chen Fuliang's order, the generals of the Sui army couldn't wait to assemble the participating teams to prepare for the battle, but after carefully observing the weather conditions, the commander of the Sui army, Chen Fuliang, ordered loudly, "Pass the order, all the soldiers participating in the war will return to the barracks to rest, and each person will prepare a gourd of light salt water. Li Keshi, Yin Kaishan's army, continue to strictly defend the city, beware of the thief army taking the opportunity to attack the city! ”

The generals of the Sui army, who were ready to do a big job today, looked at each other and asked Chen Fuliang together, "Your Highness, why?" Have you changed your mind and don't want to fight the Dou thief today? ”

"Of course not." Chen Fuliang smiled and said: "Today's decisive battle will definitely be fought, but I saw today's weather and suddenly remembered something from before, so I temporarily decided to postpone the decisive battle." ”

After that, without waiting for the generals to ask Chen Fuliang what he remembered, Chen Fuliang had already turned to Guo Feng and the other four generals of the National Army, and asked with a smile: "Guo Feng, Zhao Yu, seeing today's weather, don't you remember anything from the past?" ”

"What do you remember?"

Guo Feng and Zhao Yu and other **** generals were confused, trying to recall, Chen Ci first woke up and blurted out: "Our first battle!" Your Highness, you took us to report the first battle of ****! The weather was the same at that time, the sun was very big, and then suddenly it rained heavily! ”

Chen Ci reminded him, and the three generals Guo Feng, Zhao Yu and Yu Le also thought about it, and echoed one after another: "Yes! It was that time, and the weather was the same as it is now! The last general still remembers, Your Highness, you begged Fan Lao to stay behind and plead to postpone the time of the attack, let us hide in the shade and rest, and let Yang Xuangan's thief army bask outside the city for a long time, and then you took us out of the city after the Yang rebel thief army fought a decisive battle. ”

Hearing the introduction of the four generals of the Baoguo Army, the generals of the Sui Army woke up, and Chen Fuliang also smiled and said: "Since the weather is so favorable to us, why do we need to rush out of the city to fight?" Let the Dou thief army bask outside the city for a few hours, and make them sleepy and sweaty, and then we will send troops to fight them again, won't we get a big advantage? ”

The generals of the Sui army laughed, and they all said that it was good, there was no need to rush out of the city for a decisive battle, but Wang Fubao, who had a serious personality, said suspiciously: "But Your Highness, we have already agreed with Dou Jiande for today's decisive battle?" Dou Jiande has sent troops as promised, but we have not moved, isn't this a breach of trust in the world? ”

Hearing Wang Fubao's question, Chen Fuliang laughed again, and the smile was extremely obscene and treacherous............

…………

At the same time that Chen Fuliang was smiling lewdly, the forward of the Dou army, who was slowly advancing in the sound of drums, also discovered a strange thing on a rock on the bank of the Bishui River - I don't know where a large group of ants emerged, and they actually crawled on the rock to form four big characters - beans into the mouth of the cow!

Many people have never even heard of the strange thing of ants forming fonts, so of course this wonder has attracted the attention of countless Dou army generals and soldiers, the brave general Yin Qiu barely knew a few words, and after reading these four words to his colleagues, the Dou army generals present were confused for a while, and did not understand what this sign was, but Fan Yuan, the general of the Dou army who was responsible for commanding the former army, came to the scene, and when he saw these four words, he suddenly remembered Dou Jiande's inauspicious words when he crossed the river at Niuzhukou. Shocked, Fan Yuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent someone to Dou Jiande to report the matter.

As a generation of destitute nouveau riche buns, Dou Jiande of course wants to be as superstitious as he is, after hearing the news, he was shocked, and hurriedly walked off the imperial chariot Pegasus to check the situation, and when he saw the four big characters composed of ants, Dou Jiande's face turned pale, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask left and right: "What is this sign?" Have you ever heard of ants crawling into words before? ”

The generals of the Dou army, who were mostly illiterate, shook their heads one after another, but Liu Bin, a strategist that Dou Jiande trusted very much, said: "Your Majesty has heard of it, I heard that when Chen Yingliang and Yang Xuangan fought a decisive battle in Hongnong, before the war? There was such a strange thing, the ants crawled into the words 'Yang Xuangan died in Hongnong', then ......, and then ......, Yang Xuangan ...... and ....... ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bin didn't dare to continue to talk no matter what, but the generals of the Dou army still changed color on their faces, and their hearts were terrified, and Dou Jiande's dark face was also full of surprise, and he was extremely worried in his heart. After a long time, Dou Jiande said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not called Niukou anymore, I Jinkou Yuyan, I have already changed the name of this ferry to Fakou." Besides, I am just surnamed Dou, and Dou is just the same sound as Dou, and the meaning is completely different. So it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”

After that, Dou Jiande pretended to laugh heartily, but every Dou Army civil and military official present could hear it, and Dou Jiande had no smile in this laughter, and it was completely forced to laugh. Then, although Dou Jiande ordered a fire to burn these damned ants, it was also strictly forbidden to spread and talk about it. However, the four unlucky words of 'beans into the cow's mouth' were gradually spread widely within the Dou army through word of mouth among the Dou soldiers, and directly affected the morale of the main force of the Dou army, which was not very high.

In front of Dou Jiande, there is not only the question of ant grouping, but also the problem is that the Sui army of the Eastern Expedition who took the initiative to make an appointment has not made any movement, and the Dou army has already lined up on the east bank of the river, and the time is already at the beginning of the hour, but the east gate of the Tiger Prison Pass is still not moving, and no half of the Sui soldiers have come out. Dou Jiande felt strange in his heart, so he simply sent a messenger to shout under the Tiger Prison Pass with a white flag, asking Chen Fuliang why he didn't believe his words, and he hadn't left the city to fight Dou Jun until now?

It was Chen Fuliang's bird thief cousin Li Keshi who came forward to answer Dou Jun's envoy, and said loudly: "Go back and tell Dou Jiande and ask him what is in a hurry?" We have agreed with him that we will fight a decisive battle at the end of the day, and it is only the beginning of the hour, and it is still early before the decisive battle, and our army is still preparing, and we can't get out of the city yet! ”

"Is it agreed that there will be a decisive battle before the time?"

Dou Jun's envoy was inexplicable, and hurriedly rushed back to Dou Jiande's palace to report the situation, Dou Jiande was also confused when he heard it, and quickly sent someone back to the camp to get Chen Fuliang's national letter, but when he took a closer look at the content of the letter, Dou Jiande was even more confused to find that Chen Fuliang only made an appointment to fight today's decisive battle in the national letter, and did not agree on a specific time. After carefully recalling that Chen Fuliang's envoy Zhang Yongtong did not say the specific time of the battle, Dou Jiande hurriedly sent an envoy to the city to negotiate with the Sui army and ask the specific reason.

Zhang Yongtong was pushed out as a scapegoat, and on the city wall, Zhang Yongtong frankly admitted that he had forgotten to explain to Dou Jiande the specific time of today's decisive battle, apologized to the envoy of Dou Jun and apologized, and Li Keshi also carried out the military order for Chen Fuliang, tying Zhang Yongtong to the city and whipping him in public -- of course, Zhang Yongtong's clothes naturally had to be padded with a layer of leather cushions. The envoy of the Dou army had no choice but to rush back to Dou Jiande and report the specific situation to Dou Jiande.

After receiving such a reply, Dou Jiande and the Dou army were of course angry and scolded, and some Dou military officials also took the opportunity to persuade Dou Jiande to retire, but Dou Jiande refused to comply, and shouted: "If it's not time, it's not time, anyway, there isn't much time!" Command the whole army, wait for the place and wait until the thief Chen sends out the troops, and we will fight him to the death! ”

After the will was conveyed, the soldiers of the Dou army, who had gradually been exposed to the unbearable sun, of course complained bitterly, but they did not dare to resist the order, so they could only continue to stand under the scorching sun and suffer from the sun, Dou Jiande sat under the royal cover and closed his eyes to recuperate, patiently waiting for the decisive battle time to wait, and because he had not slept all night on the first night, Dou Jiande quickly took a nap and fell asleep, completely unaware that his army soldiers were gradually declining in physical strength by the sun, and their morale was also slowly declining. There were also a few Dou Jun officials next to him who planned to remind Dou Jiande of this, but seeing that Dou Jiande was already asleep, no one dared to open this mouth to wake up Dou Jiande, who said that the emperor's temper was getting bigger and bigger.

Time is difficult for the soldiers of the Dou Army under the scorching sun, but for the soldiers of the Sui Army who are hiding in the shade of the barracks, it is already noon, and Chen Fuliang, who keeps his promise, orders the officers and soldiers of the whole army to receive lunch, so that the soldiers can eat and drink enough, and the preparations for the battle are completed before two o'clock in the afternoon. At the same time, Chen Fuliang also arranged the order of going out of the city early, and ordered Wang Fubao to lead the infantry to open the way, covering the artillery team led by Qian Xiangmin to go out of the city and serve as the vanguard, and reported that the **** was arranged in the second team by Chen Fuliang unexpectedly, and the third team was Qin Qiong's 3,000 cavalry, and Wei Chi Jingde, Luo Shixin, Shi Wanbao and He Yanyu and other generals led the main force out of the city at the end.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the main force of the Sui army, numbering about 25,000, was assembled, and Chen Fuliang ordered to gather the generals in front of the Baoguo army for the final pre-war mobilization. The generals of the Sui army quickly arrived, and then Chen Fuliang did not rush to lecture, but suddenly shouted to the team of the national army: "In the ninth year of the great cause, the **** soldiers who participated in the Hongnong War were all listed!" ”

"No!"

The answer was very sparse, and it was only after all the **** soldiers who were ordered to be listed that the generals and soldiers of the Sui army were surprised to find that more than 800 **** old men who participated in the Hongnong War eight years ago, including Guo Feng and Chen Ci and other four captains, there were only 23 people left!

"Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three......." Chen Fuliang counted the number of people loudly, and when he counted to twenty-three, Chen Fuliang's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, and he said with a choked voice: "Twenty-three, more than 800 brothers, only you 23 brothers are left who can live to this day." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Fuliang suddenly knelt down to the twenty-three **** soldiers and said loudly: "Brothers, I'm sorry for you!" Eight years ago, I told you in Hongnong City that after fighting Yang Xuangan, you can go home and reunite with your family, but almost eight years have passed, and you still have to follow me to fight in the east and west, fight in the south and in the north, suffer from the military, and rarely get together with your wives and children! It's me who broke my word, and I'm sorry for you! Don't blame me! ”

Speaking loudly, tears had already flowed out of Chen Fuliang's eyes, and the twenty-three **** old men had already returned the salute to Chen Fuliang, hearing Chen Fuliang's sincere words, Guo Feng and Chen Ci and others couldn't help but cry one after another, and desperately kowtowed to Chen Fuliang to return the salute, crying and said: "Your Highness, the last general will not dare, dare not." ”

Chen Fuliang stood up, with tears in his eyes, he helped the twenty-three old people up one by one, and then walked to the other **** soldiers, while inspecting the ranks of the army of the country, he choked up and said: "Brothers, the brothers of the army of serving the country that I formed with my own hands, you may have heard of it, you may not have heard of it, eight years ago, when I took the army to fight with Yang Xuangan, I once read a poem, fifteen from the army, eighty years to return. At that time, after I finished reading this poem, I once told the **** soldiers at that time that after the battle, they could be allowed to go home and reunite with their families, but I never did. ”

"It's not that I don't want to fulfill my promise, it's not that I want to live up to the old brother back then, it's that this troubled world is forcing me! After beating Yang Xuangan to fight Goguryeo, after fighting Goguryeo to fight the Turks, Zhai Rang Li Mi, Li Yuan, Xue Ju, Taiyuan, Wang Shichong, and now Dou Jiande! After one battle after another, there is no time to rest at all, and I have never dared to let you, the soldiers I trust and rely on the most, leave my side, so your return home has always been far away, and there is no end in sight! ”

"But!" Chen Fuliang stopped, stood in the crowd of the army and said loudly: "I can tell you today that the time for you to go home and reunite with your parents, wives and children is just around the corner!" In today's battle, we only need to break the main force of the Dou thief in one fell swoop and capture the head of the Dou Jiande thief, and you can go home! ”

"Because among the thieves in the world, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande are the two biggest thieves, and now Wang Shichong has been surrounded by us, and it is only a matter of time before he is completely destroyed! Dou Jiande killed himself, and personally brought his nest soldiers to this tiger prison to kill himself, as long as we break Dou Jiande, we can free up our hands to eradicate Wang Shichong with all our might! After killing these two thieves, it is only a matter of time before this chaotic world ends, and you can no longer have to tie your head to the belt of your pants and charge into battle, you can go home and enjoy the joy of family with your parents and family, and enjoy the joy of the countryside! ”

"However, if we can't eradicate the main force of the Dou thieves in one fell swoop today, we can't kill the head of the Dou Jiande thieves in one fell swoop! Let the thief flee back to ...... lair. Chen Fuliang raised his voice again and shouted: "Then, we don't know how many battles we have to fight, and we don't know how much time it will take to eradicate this thief and end this troubled world!" Our future destiny is now in our hands, only by breaking through the thief army and capturing the thief, we can have the hope of going home early and ending this troubled world as soon as possible! ”

"Defeat the thief army! Capture the Dou thief! ”

Guo Feng and Chen Ci, who were familiar with Chen Fuliang's methods, and other four captains of the newspaper army roared in unison, driving more than 1,000 **** soldiers to roar together, "Break the thief army!" Capture the Dou thief! Defeat the Thieves! Capture the Dou thief! ”

After the **** soldiers shouted this slogan many times and stopped by themselves, Chen Fuliang spoke again and said: "According to the usual practice, we should sing the military song next, this time before singing the military song, there is something I must tell you." In fact, like you, after receiving the news of the murder of the former emperor, I was also confused, His Majesty the emperor is no longer there, what country should we report? To whom are you loyal? This question has been bothering me for a long time. ”

"Later, I figured it out!" Chen Fuliang raised his voice again and shouted: "The object of our loyalty is the country!" It is the land that gave birth to us and raised us! It's the people of this country! It is this country that provides us with the environment to be born and grow up, it is the grain and vegetables that grow in the land of China that raise us, and it is the people of Li who work hard in this land and take out money and grain to provide us with clothes to eat and drink! Without this country, without this land, without these toiling people, there would be no us! Therefore, first of all, we must repay the loyalty, it is this country, this land, and the people of Li who have worked hard to support us! You say, don't you?! ”

"Yes!" More than 1,000 **** soldiers replied neatly, and their voices were like thunder.

"Good!" Chen Fuliang nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Soldiers, soldiers who report ****, the time has come to repay this country, this land and the people of Limin!" Sing our military songs! Sing our military song and go out of the city, defeat the enemies outside the city, and capture and kill Dou Jiande, the culprit who is trying to make this cruel and chaotic world continue! Serve one’s country with true allegiance! End this troubled world in one fell swoop! Put an end to this troubled world! ”

"The wolf smoke rises and the country looks north

The dragon curled the horse, and the sword qi was like frost

The heart is like the Yellow River

Who can resist for thousands of years

How many siblings and loyal souls are buried in other places by the long knife of hatred......"

Driven by Chen Fuliang personally, the **** soldiers sang the long-lost military song again, and it was also in this loud military song that Chen Fuliang issued a combat order and instructed the generals of the Sui army: "The tactics of this battle are very simple, after the whole army goes out of the city, first bombard the enemy's front with artillery, and the artillery only puts three rounds to deter the enemy's heart, and then Wang Fubao You directly flow through the water, impact the front of the thief army, completely disrupt the defensive position of the thief army, and open the way forward for the national army and cavalry." I personally led the ****, Qin Qiong, you lead the cavalry, and directly attack the Dou Jiande banner formation one after the other! Wei Chi Jingde and Luo Shixin, you followed with the infantry, marching in all directions, without array, without reserves, and with all your might! ”

"No!"

The generals of the Sui army sang their promises in unison, and Mulan asked to accompany Chen Fuliang Chen Fuliang, Chen Fuliang nodded in agreement, and then carefully found that Mulan's eyes were red, obviously just cried, Chen Fuliang scattered the opportunity to return to the team, and whispered to Mulan: "Girl, after this battle, Wang Shichong is eliminated, let me give you a home, okay?" ”

Mulan subconsciously wanted to nod, but halfway through the nod, she turned her face away and hummed, "I'll talk about it then." ”

Chen Fuliang smiled, and seeing that the generals had quickly returned to the team, he ordered: "Order, open the city gate, and the whole army will go out of the city!" ”
