They didn't wear their usual robes and robes today, but like all my own soldiers, with a strong suit inside and a layer of chain mail on the outside, because from this day on, they will be touring with me in the hostile country of Wajima, and I can't joke with their lives for their safety.

"I've seen Shizun!" Liu Yue is like the leader of his junior brothers, always seems so confident and not humble or arrogant, which is what I appreciate the most, even the old man privately praised me Liu Yue is a gentleman, and is good at coordinating the relationship between them, he said that if there is an achievement, it must be not small.

"Hmm! It's good to be here, how about it, you're still used to wearing this armor, right? This was built by the teacher according to his body size when he was in Chang'an. I smiled and took a few steps forward, patted Liu Yue on the shoulder, and then held on to this helmet, like a loving father who felt sorry for his children, soothing their hearts.

The emotion overflowing from the students' eyes made me feel a sense of déjà vu, I didn't have the idea and idea of putting on a show, after more than three years of getting along, I have regarded them as a member of our family, and my words and deeds to the students are completely subconscious. "Thank you for the kindness of the teacher, the students are waiting for the ......" The eyes of the youngest student were red, I gently patted his helmet, and deliberately made a straight face: "Mount Tai collapsed and did not change color, Fang is a manly husband, rest as the posture of that child, your best reward for the teacher, that is, study hard, and later, the knowledge taught to you by the teacher, from generation to generation, carry forward." ”

"Yes! We will certainly live up to the high expectations of our master. They all received the command. When I heard their vows, my face was full of relief: "Good! He is worthy of being a student of the teacher. ”

Immediately, I asked Bo Narjin and Fang Zhu to arrange their accommodation, and then entered the Chinese army tent with General Zhang and others, and praised each other for their performance in this war. In the end, General Zhang, who was relieved and smiling, left me alone, and the big guys all resigned from the big tent very interestingly, and everyone knew that there must be important matters to be discussed between the chief manager and the deputy general manager.

General Zhang hooked his finger at me, led me towards the inner tent behind the big tent, and then motioned for me to sit with him on the carpet that had just been assisted: "Sit down, today we will win the battle, and after all the heavy work will arrive on the shore, the old man is afraid that he should also go, so the old man will come to you today and talk well...... Come on, get a pot of that stuff for the old man. ”

General Zhang's expression when he spoke, as well as the expressions of his own soldiers, all looked very obscene, and not long after he disappeared, he appeared again, holding a leather bag with a red gourd mark in his hand, I finally understood why General Zhang looked like that just now.

--------------------------------------------------- "Hehehe, this thing is still easy to use, the old man has been fighting for many years, this spleen and stomach have always been not very good, I can't really eat without this thing." General Zhang said this with a cheeky face, I naturally didn't dare to refute, so I could only respond: "That's natural, the general has been fighting horses all his life, and he has worked hard, so he should naturally be more careful, this thing is really good for appetite." ”

As soon as this remark came out, General Zhang frequently bowed his head, I looked at General Zhang and smiled, in the big tent, General Zhang and I sat face to face, there were fragrant dishes on the table, and, there was a pot of wine, well, it was wrong, this should be a special disinfectant for injuries and diseases, but because I and General Zhang had an uncomfortable spleen and stomach, I applied to the military medical officer for a pot to carry out a thorough and comprehensive disinfection of the stomach and intestines.

took a sip of wine, tore off a leg of mutton and held it to his mouth and chewed it, General Zhang's appetite was not strong, so I was not welcome, after all, wasting food is definitely not a good habit.

"Virtuous nephew, you have to be careful, although you have also been in a lot of battle formations, but after all, this is your first time leading troops, it is inevitable that there will be inappropriateness, the old man left you a few veterans, if you have any questions, you can ask them, in addition, the old man Liu Renliang put him here with you, that is because the old man knows that your eyes are poisonous, you can recognize people, and you can use people, you kid is good at everything, but there is a little bit of bad." General Zhang's face also had a wine red, but it was strangely red, different from the way ordinary people were red, he was just the red under his eyelids, and in other places, it should be white or the same.

"General, if you always have something to say, the little nephew will definitely listen to it." I wiped my grease mouth and said with a smile, after getting along with each other during this time, General Zhang's spleen surname I also touched it thoroughly, although the old guy sometimes likes yin people, but in general, he is still a kind old man, and he has a lot of support for me, of course, here, there is not only the reason why I am Uncle Li's most favored son-in-law, and I am the beloved son of the house, but also his love for the younger generation out of an elder, which makes me very moved, especially when no one is around, the old guy never puts on a shelf, very easy-going, As long as you don't mess with this Tang general, under normal circumstances, he is still very good at talking in private.

"You can listen to people and be good at understanding talents, this is your advantage, but you are not authentic, and if the old man doesn't make you ideas, you can pretend to be stunned from the beginning to the end." General Zhang took a sip of wine, glared at me hatefully and said: "Now that you are the general of an army, this kind of thinking is not wanted, all the generals are waiting for you to take the idea, on the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, you must no longer hide it, if something happens at that time, even if Your Majesty does not punish you, you kid will not be able to escape the old man's military stick, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Believe, naturally believe, little nephew, thank you for the general's teachings." I sincerely thank General Zhang. General Zhang smiled with satisfaction: "Virtuous nephew, don't forget, Your Majesty also told the old man in private, leave the matter here to you to deal with, otherwise, the old man really can't make up his mind to let you lead an army alone......"

General Zhang is also real enough, not only handed over the right to lead the troops to me, but also revealed his views on Wajima to me, although I also know it clearly, but, his mind, I still wrote it down, finally, General Zhang told me, if the battle is unfavorable, you can retreat to Songjiang, he will send a special fleet to cruise in the waters of Songjiang, if you learn the news here, he will quickly respond to deal with it, so as not to bury 50,000 Tang elites.

"Thank you for the general's care, but, according to the last general, my Datang, the 50,000 Datang, is slowly advancing, no matter how the enemy moves, as long as our army does not divide the troops, it will definitely be worry-free." I thought the old boy was worried too much, and couldn't help but say what I thought.

--------------------------------------------------- General Zhang stroked his long gray beard and nodded: "Well, what you said is also reasonable, but you have to remember one sentence, the water is impermanent, the army is impermanent, although it is good to win in stability, but you must also be careful, and you must not be too arrogant." ”

We talked until late at night, and General Zhang signaled me to leave with a full stomach. The next day, after all the accompanying troops had been sent to the coast, the Datang sailors finally left the coast to complete their other mission. And I, as the deputy commander of the march of Yangping Province and now the land commander of the Tang Dynasty Naval Division, began to march along the northern edge of Honshu Island towards Fujiwara-kyo, the capital of the Japanese Kingdom.

In my army, including my personal guards, there were more than 5,000 cavalry, and in addition, General Zhang was worried that our siege strength was insufficient, so in addition to handing over 500 mortars to us, he also transferred another 10 artillery pieces to us. This has strengthened our long-range firepower, and in this era, there should be no city that can withstand the bombardment of our Tang artillery.

The army of 50,000, the front army is 5,000 elite cavalry, led by Xi Jun, a famous general who has broken through thousands of enemies with 100 cavalry. The Chinese army of 35,000 people, led by Ben Gongzi himself, and the rear army of 10,000, commanded by Liu Renliang, including ten artillery pieces and weights, were handed over to him for safekeeping. Each army was less than ten miles apart, and in the middle there was a fast horse message, and the three armies moved in unison, advancing at a speed of fifty miles each, heading east.

At this rate, if there is no accident, it will only take about half a month for our army to enter the capital of Fujiwara, the capital of the Wa Kingdom. As our army moved, and in front of us, the Japanese army holding Matsue saw that our army was strong, and did not intend to carry out another suicide attack, but retreated towards Tottori Castle.

Tottori, which can be regarded as the most important military town of the Wa Kingdom, is firmly on the way on the way for our Tang Dynasty army to go to the capital of the Wa Kingdom, and the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom naturally received the news that the elite of the Tang Dynasty Navy Division has landed on the Wa Island, and was shocked, on the one hand, the troops from all over the country gathered towards Tottori Castle and Fujiwara Kyo, and on the other hand, sent envoys with a large number of gold, silver and jewels to greet them, intending to seek peace.

"Oh? The Japanese sent an envoy? I couldn't help but be stunned, raised my head from the military report on the case, and asked curiously, the herald sent by Xi Junpai nodded affirmatively: "Exactly, therefore, General Xi has detained the envoy team of the Japanese State, and ordered his subordinates to come and report to the general, hoping that the general will decide." ”
