Chapter 377: The Last Sunset!
Wearing a suit of gold armor and a sword at his waist, standing quietly on the battlefield preset by the Yulin Army, Emperor Taishang Li Yu's face was full of smiles.
Compared with a day ago, he could only lie on the bed and speak weakly, the Emperor Taishang was much better in both his state and his complexion, at least he didn't need the support of others, he could stand firmly on the ground by himself, and to do this, he had to put the time at least two years ago.
However, when Emperor Taishang appeared on the preset battlefield, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Yulin Army around him fell into a state of almost madness, looking at these soldiers around him, Li Song's face was filled with a supreme glory and smile.
Refusing Zhang Taicheng's support behind him, wearing a heavy armor, he walked forward with difficulty but firmly.
The only thing is that this set of armor that has been weighted down is still too heavy when worn on the current emperor, and the emperor is already so weak that he is extremely angry because of his long-term illness.
Seeing the surrounding Yulin soldiers who were extremely excited, the Emperor Taishang was also more and more excited, just like that, step by step, difficult but firm, the Emperor Taishang wearing armor and fighting the sword slowly walked to the center of the battlefield in the preset.
"Well, tomorrow the enemy will arrive, do you have confidence?"
"Yes!"
"Soldiers, here I will witness your victory, Datang Wansheng!"
Li Yan, who was already very weak, didn't have a loud voice, but it was enough for the Yulin sergeant standing in front of him to hear it, and the young soldier who was already excited to the extreme said loudly without hesitation.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will do our best, Datang Wansheng!"
Soon, with Li Yu as the center, the voice of Datang Wansheng began to spread rapidly to the surroundings, and in just a few dozen breaths, it has spread to most of the valley, and the sound of Datang Wansheng like a tsunami in the mountains has a feeling of soaring into the sky.
The sound of the tsunami in the mountains was even transmitted to three miles away, and the Yulin Army was in the camp next to Weishui.
After hearing this sudden cheer and analyzing in detail the situation of the Dasanguan and the anti-Tang coalition forces brought back by Degang, Pei Zhi and Zhang Jieyi, who were preparing to make arrangements for tomorrow's battle, stopped the process of military discussion and led the generals and colonels in the Chinese army's tent to leave the military tent.
And at this time, in that indescribable state, the Yulin sergeants who stayed in the camp also shouted unconsciously.
Listen to the endless "Long live Your Majesty!" from different regions. "Datang Wansheng!" The voices of these decision-makers of the Yulin Army were instantly aroused, and they also began to chant along.
】
Listening to this voice and looking at the surrounding state, the Emperor Taishang suddenly pushed the already not low morale to the extent of bursting.
Looking at everything around him, Zhang Zhiyi silently raised his thumbs up to Pei Zhi.
"I thought that Your Majesty would improve morale, but I never thought that the Emperor Taishang could raise morale to this level with just an appearance."
"General, you have been by Your Majesty's side for too long, and you don't know how much Your Majesty has changed us and ordinary soldiers."
"You mean ......"
Looking at Zhang Qiyi's thoughtful expression, Pei Zhi nodded.
"But, Pei Zhi, this is risky after all."
"The general was by His Majesty's side when he was young, but I am different, I think the general should know that I am young and mixed......"
Zhang Qiyi didn't speak, but his expression showed that he did know what Pei Zhi had experienced when he was a teenager, after all, he had been Li Yu's personal bodyguard for too long.
"Pei's family is indeed very powerful, and there are many talents in each sect and each room, but it does not mean that every room can have enough opportunities...... Xuanzu was smart, and he got the art of war of Wei Guogong, but he was jealous of too many people, and Xuanzu was okay when he was alive, but with Xuanzu...... Martial Queen...... The representative of my father, who may still be honorable, may still look glamorous, but in fact it has fallen to the extreme, and the reason why I wandered in it is precisely to try to get a chance through them...... However......"
Thinking of his previous experience, a kind of sadness climbed into Pei Zhi's heart, and controlled the sourness in his heart, Pei Zhi continued.
"If it weren't for Your Majesty, if it weren't for the general, I'm afraid I'd die in that glamour......" Mengdi took a deep breath, "and I'm not a special case......"
Before Zhang Yiyi could speak, Pei Zhi added another sentence.
"General, after all, my surname is Pei, if I show my face, at least I won't starve to death, but what about the other soldiers, ......what about the people of Chang'an, the people of Guanzhong, and the Tang people of the world?"
Pei Zhi's words were very direct, and he almost said that Zhang Zhiyi was the second generation of officials who had not suffered hardships, but listening to Pei Zhi's words, Zhang Zhiyi did not have any discomfort or dissatisfaction, because he knew that what Pei Zhi said was not wrong at all.
In the second year after Li Yu became the crown prince, he came to Li Xu's side and became the prince's companion and personal guard, until Li Yu used the Changying Army created by Guo Rong as a template to establish the second forbidden army Yulin Army, and became the commander of the Yulin Army, which was regarded as leaving Li Xu's side, and it was Zhang Taicheng who took over Zhang Zhiyi and Li Chen's personal guard.
Although he didn't have the opportunity to spend a lot of money, and he couldn't indulge in dogs and horses like those second-generation, he never worried about food, clothing, or safety.
Although he has not experienced the kind of suffering where a penny overwhelms a hero, Zhang Jieyi is not a fool, and a real fool will not be left by Li Yu's side.
Through Pei Zhi's encounters before and after, thinking about the gap between other forbidden soldiers before and after joining the forbidden army, and then thinking about the changes in the imperial court, Chang'an, Guanzhong, and the Tang Dynasty after the emperor really took control of power, as well as the oath of the emperor, Zhang Yiyi already understood the meaning of Pei Zhi's words.
"General!"
Zhang Yiyi understood what Pei Zhi meant, and also understood the reason why Pei Zhi dared to choose the most risky plan, but when he really made a decision, he still hesitated.
Regarding Zhang Yiyi's reaction, Pei Zhi was not surprised.
Just as he said when he persuaded Zhang to do so, everyone's experience and experience will affect their thoughts, judgments, and decisions.
Zhang Quyi's loyalty to his mother is doubtful, and under the guidance of many famous generals, Zhang Quyi's leadership, formation, march, and battle formation are all superior.
Therefore, decision is the biggest weakness of Zhang Quyi, who has never encountered decisions and crises, and at the critical time, Zhang Quyi does not have the decisiveness of Li Yu and Li Chun, the emperor's father and son, and does not have the determination and will of Guo Rong and Li Yu on the battlefield.
The etheric emperor Li Yu knew about Zhang Jieyi, how could he not know Zhang Jieyi's weaknesses, but he still chose to let Zhang Jieyi become the real commander of the Imperial Forest Army around him.
If there was no Pei Zhi, then Zhang Jieyi's determination would have been fatal, but Emperor Li Yu had already configured the most suitable deputy for Zhang Zhiyi.
"Today is just a simple inspection of the Emperor Taishang, if the Emperor Taishang appears on the battlefield tomorrow, do you dare to imagine how the soldiers will behave? You must know that tomorrow is the last day of the three-day deadline requested by the Emperor Taishang and Zhang Jiaxuan! ”
"Tomorrow? Three-day appointment! ”
Hearing Pei Zhi's last words, Zhang Zhiyi raised his head reluctantly and looked into the distance, to be precise, where the Emperor Taishang was located.
Because of the distance, Zhang Jieyi couldn't see the exact location of the Emperor, let alone the expression of the Emperor, but Zhang Jieyi, who had followed the Emperor for 30 years, knew too well the character of the masters around him.
"General, the Emperor wants to ......"
"Say no more!"
"Later, it will be arranged according to your plan, I will lead the foot soldiers to carry it at the front, and you are responsible for the command of the whole army," Zhang Zhiyi raised his hand as he saw Pei Zhi trying to say something.
"It's so decided, I know what I'm good at, and I know what I'm not good at, strategizing, winning thousands of miles, Linji decision, you are unsurpassed in the Yulin Army, the calculation is placed in the entire forbidden army, there are not many who are better than you, only you can bring the master a brilliant victory he expects."
"It doesn't matter if we kill all these fifteen thousand people, if we eat our entire fifteen thousand Yulin Army, I don't believe that those Tubo miscellaneous and that damn traitor can still march into Chang'an in a short time!"
Looking at Zhang Zhiyi, who had made up his mind, Pei Zhi nodded solemnly, which also meant that the two main decision-makers of the Yulin Army had reached a consensus thoroughly.
"Alright, gentlemen!" In fact, after obtaining the supreme command, Bae Zhi did not waste any more time, but quickly opened his mouth loudly, diverting the attention of the surrounding generals from cheers to himself.
"The Emperor has already told us what he can do for us, so the next thing is to see what we can do for the Emperor!"
Pei Zhi looked around, and after making sure that everyone was looking at him, he turned around directly and looked at the last ray of the sunset on the horizon.
"The sunset is infinitely good, but it is almost dusk, we want to leave the most beautiful twilight for the emperor!"
After the words fell, Pei Zhi turned around again, opened the big tent of the Chinese army, and said as he walked inside.
"Now, let's go ahead and make the final preparations!"
With Pei Zhi's voice, the military academies quickly retracted their attention, followed Pei Zhi's footsteps and quickly entered the military tent, and then focused their eyes on the somewhat rough topographic map in the center of the Chinese army's tent.
"Tomorrow, for the sake of the Emperor and for the Tang Dynasty, Lao Tzu is ready to play a big ticket!"
As Pei Zhi said, the sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk, and in the last less than half an hour before sunset, the Emperor Taishang enjoyed the love of the soldiers for the last time, and then returned to his military tent in the barracks under the escort of Zhang Taicheng and Zhang Jiaxuan.
However, at this time, after not needing to show it in front of the soldiers, the Emperor Taishang is no longer the radiant appearance just now, and the golden armor is still worn on his body, but the whole person is already angry, and he is in a state of severe coma again.
Seeing this, Zhang Jieyi took out the water bladder, poured some reddish-brown juice into the bowl, heated it slightly, and sent it into the mouth of the emperor, and at the same time took off the golden iron stomach on the emperor's head, took out his own silver needle, and pierced it into the emperor's head one by one.
Half an hour later, Li Yu opened his eyes reluctantly, coughed reluctantly, and only after a bloody arrow with a fishy smell was spit out did he regain even breathing.
After another quarter of an hour, Emperor Li Yu slowly woke up from a deep coma.
opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Taicheng with a sad face, and then looked at Zhang Jiaxuan with a serious expression like a terracotta figurine, and smiled with difficulty.
"It's okay, I'm still alive, ahem! Ahem! It seems that God is ready to give me one last chance~! Ahem! Ahem! ”
After a fierce cough, Zhang Jiaxuan, who couldn't bear it, fed the Emperor Taishang some decoction again, and soon, the Emperor's pale face was replaced by a deep flush again, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of air greedily, the Emperor Taishang spoke softly again.
"Bae Zhi, are they ready?"
"Your Majesty, General Zhang came here just now, and he has already handed over the command of tomorrow to Pei Zhonglang, and he himself will be on the front line tomorrow ......"
Li Yu nodded slightly.
"It's hard for these two guys, even if it's the last time I've been willful in my life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuan coughed violently again, and then Zhang Jiaxuan was in a hurry for a while, waiting for Li Xuan to regain his stability again.
"Your Majesty, if possible, try to rest and conserve your strength, there is really not much medicine in the minister's hands."
Hearing Zhang Jiaxuan's words, Li Yu couldn't help but have an embarrassed smile on his face, and then stretched out a finger with difficulty, and Zhang Jiaxuan also nodded helplessly.
"Taicheng, go and help me call the righteousness, and by the way, bring the letters that Guo Rong has sent over the years."
Zhang Taicheng nodded and turned to leave, leaving only Zhang Jiaxuan and Li Yu in the military tent.
"Jiaxuan, there is no resentment that I instigated Guo Rong to almost hollow out the Daomen."
"Your Majesty, the minister understands that this is all for the sake of the Daomen, otherwise those bald donkeys will definitely collude......"
Li Yu nodded with satisfaction and said in a weak voice.
"It's good that you can understand, don't worry, I have already instructed Chun'er that the only one who can gain a foothold in my Datang is the Daomen rooted in my Datang, and after defeating the Tubo and the rebels, the Daomen will become the state religion of my Datang."
"And there are so many Daomen disciples in the army who have made great achievements, cough cough! As long as Daomen does not try to interfere in politics, no one will interfere with the cultivation of Daomen's disciples, and Daomen will always be the best weapon for my Tang Dynasty to defend against other ZJs. ”
Just two sentences later, Zhang Taicheng and Zhang Jieyi had already come to the military tent together, and Zhang Taicheng was still holding a huge box in his hand.
Looking at the armor on Li Chen's body, Zhang Jieyi was ready to remove the armor for Li Xu, so that Li Yu would be a little more comfortable.
However, as soon as his hand stretched out, he was stopped by Zhang Jiaxuan, looking at Zhang Taicheng's puzzled gaze, Zhang Jiaxuan closed his eyes and said after taking a long breath.
"General Zhang, don't take off your armor for Your Majesty, you can't take it off anymore, if you take it off, I may never be able to put it on again!"
Hearing Zhang Jiaxuan's words and seeing Li Yu's appearance, Zhang Taicheng's eyes turned red all of a sudden.
Looking at Zhang Taicheng's appearance, a smile hung on the corner of Li Chen's mouth, he stretched out his hand lightly but did not reach Zhang Yiyi, seeing this, Zhang Yuyi's tears instantly spilled, and the whole person knelt down beside Li Yu.
"Take righteousness, don't be sad, I don't have any regrets in my life, help me read it, I want to see how this stinky boy grew up all the way."
Zhang Yiyi wiped the tears on his face, took the box in Zhang Taicheng's hand, took out a thick stack of paper from the box, and began to read the first letter.
