Five years of martial virtue and three years of innovation.

Taiyuan County, Hedong.

One day in February, the winter snow was just beginning to melt, and the ground was muddy.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and the air that breathed into the tip of the nose was still very cold, and at the moment, Li Chen, the general of the Eastern Army of Li Tang River, Xiangwu Wang, looked at the reckless Daze in front of him, as if he was waiting for something.

The Daze in front of him is Zhaoyu Qi, located at the junction of Taiyuan County and Xihe County, and it is also the dividing line between Zhao and Tang at present. Now Zhao Yuqi is reflected on the ice floes, blinking an eye, and after this Daze, two hundred miles to the north is Jinyang City.

In the dense forest on the south bank of Zhaoyu Qi, the Tang soldiers were holding iron horse bowls and burying their heads in eating. After a day's march, everyone was hungry. In this era, except for the nobles, most people had two meals, and the same was true for the soldiers.

As a soldier of the Tang Army, he farmed at home on weekdays, and although he was exempted from taxes, his life was not easy at all. As a soldier of the Tang Army, not only must you bring your own weapons and dry food, but the imperial court also stipulates that each group of government soldiers must have six pack horses.

Therefore, the cost of raising pack horses is also a large daily expense of the government soldiers. As a soldier of the East Dao of Li Tang River, it is not easy to raise horses in Hedong, and it is not as convenient as the soldiers of Longyou Dao to raise horses, so life is very tight in ordinary times.

However, Hedong Road and Longyou Road were very important to the Tang Army, as they were the secondary towns of the Fu Army, and the size of the troops was only inferior to that of Guanzhong Road. This time to attack Zhao, Hedong Dao was exhausted, and Longyou Dao did not move in order to guard against the Turks, but the soldiers were also waiting for the Turks to beware of the Turkic attack.

And now that he was resting, Sergeant Tang took out the fried rice and dry food he brought from home, put it in the iron horse bowl and added water to it, and after mixing it, he ate it with his hands. Li Chen was also sympathetic to the soldiers, and let them have an extra meal, and each soldier was given a slice of bacon two fingers wide in his hand.

After each Tang sergeant was assigned the piece of bacon, his eyes were green. I bit it between my teeth several times before swallowing it, and then put it in my mouth and chewed it all over again, and finally swallowed it unfinished.

"The king of the county is really a generous soldier." Wen Daya said in praise on the side. Wen Daya is currently the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of Li Tang and Shaanxi Dongdao, and he is also the brother of Wen Yanbo, the prime minister of Zhao State.

Li Chen nodded and said, "The soldiers left home to fight for the general, and these are all loyal and brave people." Ben will do what he can. ”

Speaking of which, Li Chen looked at the sky above his head and said, "It's almost the same time." ”

Wen Daya said: "Yes, according to this time, Guo Ke's people should be almost there." This person is a friend of General Wu's eight worships, and he is a daughter, and he will definitely not miss the appointment. ”

Li Chen nodded and said, "That's good." At present, the king has Guo Ke, the head snake, and he has a lot of control over the capture of Jinyang. ”

Wen Daya said: "The king of the county." We want to contain Taiyuan, not capture it. According to the edict given to me by His Majesty, as long as we can capture Qi County and cut off the passage from Taiyuan County to Shangdang County, we will not only keep an eye on the 30,000 elite Zhao troops in Taiyuan County, but Shangdang County will also be worry-free. ”

As he spoke, suddenly more than a dozen horsemen galloped over. After seeing the opponent's armor in the rain and fog, the Tang army scout who was ambushed in the woods put down the bow and arrow in his hand.

The person for this was a general wearing armor, and when he saw him throw his stirrups and dismount, Li Chen rode his horse to meet him and asked, "Is General Wu in touch with Guo Ke?" ”

The other party hugged his fists and said: "Back to the county king, I have already been contacted, Guo Ke is the friend of the general horn of a certain person, and he will not lose a certain person, and the county king can trust him." ”

Li Chen smiled slightly and said, "That's good." I'm also worried that things are going to go wrong. ”

This general surnamed Wu, named Wu Shi Tong, was a minister of Yuan Cong when Li Yuan Jinyang raised his army, and he made great contributions and was saved from death. The martial arts family was very powerful in Jinyang, and the samurai Tong had five sons with his father, Wu Hua. They all followed Li Yuan to raise troops in Jinyang. And Li Yuan has a special trust in Wushi Tong, and together with Qian Jiulong, the general of Zuo Wuwei, they are all his confidants, and they are also one of the few in the Tang army. A general of a non-Li clan who can command the army.

This time, in order to attack Taiyuan County, Li Yuan sent Wu Shi Tong and Wen Daya to assist Li Chen. Before the battle, Wu Shi Tong instigated the Taiyuan Haoqiang Guo Ke to serve, Guo Ke is a local wealthy family, raising thousands of strong Zhuang guests, after getting the news of Wu Shi Tong, Guo Ke contacted several green forest horse thieves in Taiyuan County, gathered more than 3,000 people, and joined Li Tang as the vanguard of this attack on Zhao.

The Tang soldiers had just had a full meal, and Li Chen immediately ordered Wu Shi Tong to lead an army of 3,000 people who dared to die and attacked Qi County at night with Guo Ke. And Li Chen himself led a large army to press the rear formation.

The sky gradually darkened, the wind was bleak, and the Tang soldiers led by Wu Shi Tong each had a small sheepskin raft and were crossing Zhao Yuqi at night. In the middle of the great ze, the water and grass are overgrown, and the ice on the lake is dingdong, and no one will expect that there is a group of people and horses who are quietly crossing the lake from here.

After crossing Zhaoyuqi, the Tang soldiers pulled the sheepskin rafts close to the reeds by Daze and hid in them. The spring night was cold, and after Tang Jun waited here all night, the sky gradually brightened, and the three low whistles in front of him were the secret signals that Guo Ke's people came to answer.

At that moment, the samurai stood up from the reeds and walked head-on.

General be careful! A soldier suddenly pulls the samurai over, but sees an arrow coming from the shadows!

Across the neck of the samurai.

Wu Shi Tong was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, he half-knelt on the ground, and hurriedly pulled out his sword!

At this time, by the reeds, the whistle sounded. After three long whistles and one short whistle, several rockets pierced the night sky and shot deep into the reeds.

At this time, the sound of paddling was loud, and countless small boats rowed out of the reeds in the haze.

"Ambush!"

The samurai shouted that it was not good, and immediately organized the soldiers to organize resistance on the shore. And countless arrows on the boat shot at the Tang army on the shore, and the killing on the shore was loud.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and in the early morning mist, a large banner was waving in the wind. Under the banner, a general dressed in a whole body, holding an iron whip, stepped on a horse, and the iron cavalry rolled behind him, and countless cavalry showed his body from the mist.

Wu Shi Tong was taken aback and said to himself: "Could it be the famous general of the Zhao Army, Captain Chi Gong?" ”

The war horse snorted, and the Zhao army did not charge as soon as he came, and the general immediately shouted: "I am Wei Chi Gong, you are smart, and you want to collude with Guo Ke to attack Qi County, but you don't know that your every move has long been under the surveillance of our army, an hour ago, Guo Ke was already awarded, but you were kept in the dark, and you still don't know." At the moment, Ben will not want to kill again, let you and others surrender, and you can guarantee that you will not die! ”

As soon as the words fell, the samurai Tong's face suddenly turned pale.
