The drums and horns in the Jinyang Palace were made from time to time, and the killing sound was fierce, but the front of the magnificent palace turned into a killing field at this time. The sergeants wore their swords and armor, slashing each other with all their might, as if the opposite side was a life-and-death feud, fierce and merciless.

Outside this battle circle, Emperor Gao Yang held a knife in his hand, followed by dozens of Baibao soldiers, whenever he saw someone in the battle circle who was timid and retreated and wanted to get out of the battle, he would enter the front and kill the other party with a knife, so that these soldiers could fight to the death in this battle circle.

Because only the winner can survive, so in the field, whether it is those Jinyang soldiers or the Baibao and warriors who have entered the Sansu Guard, they all fight hard and dare not relax, the sound of the sword clashing is endless, and the sound of broken muscles and bones is even more shocking.

In this tragic battle, after all, the guards performed better and their combat effectiveness was stronger. After all, they are carefully selected brave soldiers, although the Jinyang soldiers are also veterans of a hundred battles, but if it is specific to each soldier, not everyone may have outstanding bravery, and their combat experience and quality can only be reflected in the cooperation of a larger battle formation.

Due to the limitation of the venue, 100 people in the field fought for a team. When he saw that one of the sides had suffered all casualties and there were almost no more people able to continue fighting, Gao Yang would order Mingjin to make a truce, and let the winning side clean up the battlefield, kill all the wounded and disabled, and then give many gifts to these winners.

In successive battles, all of them were won by the guards, in other words, hundreds of Jinyang soldiers had already been killed in the martial arts arena in front of this palace. The bloody atmosphere here was extremely strong, and although after each battle, the palace slaves entered to clean and wash the field, but a thick layer of blood had accumulated on the masonry ground.

Rao is Duan Shao, who has been in battle for a long time and is accustomed to life and death, and he can't help but feel a little chilled when he sees this, because such a killing is really meaningless. Not to mention the defeated Jinyang soldiers who were all slaughtered, even if they were victorious Su Guard soldiers, they actually suffered a lot of casualties in such a killing.

But seeing that the emperor's eyes were getting more and more excited, and he had no intention of stopping at all, Duan Shao could only stand silently under the hall corridor and watch another group of frightened soldiers being driven in.

This time, the Jinyang soldiers who came on the field were obviously much stronger, it seems that they saw that they were defeated in a row and no one survived, and they were frightened and ashamed in their hearts, and they also used their minds to gather the elite soldiers into a team to fight.

Therefore, the next battle was also particularly tragic, which lasted for most of the hour, and in the end it was the Jinyang soldiers who won, but there were only a dozen soldiers left, and everyone was injured and crumbling.

"It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure!"

Gao Yang was not ashamed that the Jinyang soldiers had defeated his selected guards, but instead looked at the dozen wounded soldiers with admiration, and asked them about their respective names and positions in the army one by one.

When he learned that these dozen or so wounded soldiers were all corporals in the army, and the highest position was only a military master who led a thousand soldiers, Gao Yang's face became unkind again, and he ordered the direct superiors of these dozen wounded soldiers to be summoned.

Some of these generals were on the spot, and some were in the military camp outside the city, and they were all summoned to Jinyang Palace by their own personnel. By the time everyone involved had gathered, it was already dark.

Gao Yang held the lamp in front of the hall, and then looked at the commanders and generals and said: "These dozen brave soldiers can defeat the army of the guards selected by me in Gyeonggi, it can be seen that the courage is extraordinary, I want to appoint them as governors, do you and the others have any objections?" ”

The generals, whether they came first or later, were frightened by the bloody aura in front of the palace, and after hearing this, they shook their heads again and again to indicate that they had no objections. And the dozen or so wounded soldiers were even more overjoyed when they heard this, they thought that they would die today, but they didn't expect to be rewarded and awarded the governor first, and they couldn't care about their injuries for a while, and they kowtowed and thanked them again and again.

If these wounded soldiers were only appointed as governors, there would be no need to gather so many people to witness. Since Gao Yang summoned these people, there must be the following.

So then his face sank again, and he suddenly shouted angrily: "Such a brave soldier is silent and silent, but he can't rely on this courage to be rewarded and used by the above, can you wait for the general in charge of the army to be innocent?" Since you and others also think that they are capable of being governors, how dare you serve them before and not recommend them? ”

For His Majesty the Emperor's brain circuit, the generals really couldn't get around, but seeing the anger on the emperor's face, they looked even more terrifying, and they could only kowtow again and again to beg for mercy.

"Since each of them knows that he has sinned, how can he not be prosecuted? These brave soldiers are known to me because they compete with their lives, and you and others are their officials, so they naturally want to be more courageous. If you can win, you will have no merit and merit, and you will be rewarded. If you can't win, you'll die! ”

Gao Yang looked at the crowd and said with a sneer.

When the generals heard this, they were naturally shocked. They have seen the strength of the combat effectiveness of these guards, and they can serve as generals, not necessarily by their own bravery, if they really fight with swords, they are afraid that they will definitely die, so they have kowtowed and begged for mercy, not daring to enter the battle.

"For the generals are so cowardly, how can the army win? You deceive the world and steal it, you really deserve to die! They did not dare to fight, but they seized their official positions and sent them to the governors as slaves! ”

Gao Yang had his own set of standards for doing things, and seeing that these generals did not dare to fight, he simply dismissed them from their official positions, punished them as slaves, and then rewarded them to those old subordinates who were appointed governors.

Although his voice was full of evil taste, it was by no means a joke. When the guards and court servants came in front of them, they stripped them of their robes, shaved off their beards, and put iron rings around their necks, and inscribed the names of their new masters on the iron rings, and gave them to the new governors.

"What a blessing for the last general to be so loved and rewarded by the Lord! I will serve the Lord and be faithful, and I will not hesitate to do anything! ”

After the dozen or so governors received this reward, some of them were happy and grateful, only to say that they had not met in the past, and now they were finally appreciated by the British Lord, and some of them did not react for a while, but they also bowed to the ground one after another, and bowed their heads and thanked them again and again.

When Gao Yang heard this, he laughed, and took out all kinds of precious medicinal materials and gorgeous brocade robes to reward these people.

Originally, the Jinyang soldiers had a lot of ferocity and cruelty in their hearts to slander this new monarch, but when they saw that these dozen or so soldiers had obtained the promotion of their status and the reversal of their situation by virtue of winning a battle, they were also excited in their hearts, and imagined that they could also have such opportunities and treatment.

They are outlaws who lick their blood with knives, and if this life can be sold for a price, why are they afraid of death? Now His Majesty the Emperor is eclectic in employing people and rewarding soldiers, but he has considerable courage and is immediately selected and appointed, for many Jinyang soldiers from humble backgrounds and silent below, that is the wise lord!

Soon this battle in Jinyang Palace spread in Jinyang City, although the process was bloody and cruel, but it gave people great encouragement and hope.

Many Jinyang soldiers and subordinates were also keen to spread this deed, especially when it came to the fact that those generals who were in the position of vegetarian were rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor to his old subordinates as slaves, their eyebrows fluttered and they were overjoyed.

Because Gao Yang was low-key and withdrawn before, many Jinyang soldiers only knew that there were big and small kings, and they had never even heard of this second son of King Gao, who was ordered in danger, and naturally they didn't have any reverence in their hearts.

But after this incident, the reputation of this new monarch quickly spread among the bottom, and everyone who had a discussion admired it.

Therefore, when Gao Yang led the troops to the eastern city of Jinyang, inspected the army and lined up to fight, what he saw was no longer those indifferent and critical eyes, but reverent and enthusiastic eyes! Everywhere you go, the joy is thundering, the voice is pointing to, and the trend is like a cloud!

Compared with the prohibition of Jinyang's orders and the morale of the Great Boost, the Western Wei army that had already arrived in Jianzhou was much weaker.

When the army crossed the river before, it was already raining. I thought that it would improve after the season entered winter, but I didn't expect that several heavy rains would fall one after another, causing the mountain streams to swell like floods, and the army was trapped in Jianzhou Carriage City and could not move forward.

The rain in autumn and winter was unusually frozen, and even if people could bear it, the cattle, horses, and livestock in the army could not stand it, and the death of large groups and large groups soon exceeded half of the casualties.

Originally, before crossing the river, the generals who were still in high morale were also depressed at this time, and they advised Daxingtai one after another, saying that the time was contrary to the sky and the sharpness had been lost, so it was better to withdraw from the army for the time being, and then try to come to the future.

Although Yu Wentai was also shaken in his heart, he was still a little unwilling when he thought of the pride before leaving, and sent a few light cavalry scouts north to find out how the enemy was doing.

But in the end, the news that came back also disappointed Yuwentai, and the scouts returned to tell Gao Yang's army that the army was neat and strong, and there were no fighters that could take advantage of the chaos.

After learning about this, the losses of the war horses in the army were greater, and the morale was becoming more and more sluggish, and Yuwentai could only sigh: "Gao Huan is not dead!" "Ordered the withdrawal of troops.

At the same time as the withdrawal of troops, Yuwentai also informed Li Tai of the Heluo side that it was up to him to decide how to end the follow-up situation on the Heluo side.
