Chapter 284: Opponent
"Hmph, if you lose in vain, it means that you should be convinced. Trisong Dezan narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Shang Jiezan. said, "What makes him special is that he stands at a height that is completely different from that of you generals and ministers. In the short time we met today, I felt his temperament. It doesn't feel like a little prince at all. But...... Compared with the coward in the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty, he is more like an emperor! You can't feel this kind of thing. I can. on his body. He did not have his duty as a courtier. Such a person is either a natural hegemon or an ambitious fanatic. But he still has a special temperament that is very inconsistent with his age and identity. Shang Jiezan, you are still a person who fought with him, and you don't know anything about him. It's sad! I'm getting more and more skeptical, are you too old?"
Shang Jiezan's body was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt down: "The old minister is confused, the old minister is confused!"
"Alright, get up!" Tri Song Dezan reprimanded Shang Jiezan without pain. The tone became calm again. Good words said to Shang Jiezan: "Being confused for a while is also understandable and forgiving. However, you can't always be confused. From now on, no one, including me, can no longer underestimate Xiao Yunhe. I had expected that. With this 200,000 army, it can almost scare the Shu people's courage. It can sweep through the West River effortlessly. Now it seems that things will not be as easy as I thought. Shang Jiezan, the soldiers and horses of Luo Xue Cheng and Nanzhao and other countries have all set off?"
Shang Jiezan stood up, didn't dare to raise his head and said, "Go back to Zampu." When we were reorganizing our troops and horses in Golmud, we had already issued orders to the cities of Raksha and Nanzhao. I believe that at this time, these armies should have already set off. The city of Luo will be led by Shang Xi Dongzan or Shang Zanmo with an army of 50,000 people, passing through Bowo and Jinsha River, and uniting the combined forces of Nanzhao and other countries to attack the Dongnu Kingdom together. It is estimated that the total number of soldiers and horses is no less than 100,000. Zampu, this is almost the largest military operation in the history of my Tibetans. β
"You want to say that it's not worth it for a small Xichuan and a mere Xiao Yunhe, right?" Trisong Dezan sneered and said, "You have always had this idea in your heart, but you just don't want to say it." β
Shang Jiezan lowered his head lower: "The old minister doesn't dare." β
"Forget it, you don't have to be so hypocritical and polite in front of me. If you do it, you do it, what else dare or don't you dare?" Trisong Detsen said, "I don't mean to blame you. You are a courtier, and it is your duty to raise objections to my affairs. I have always admired Emperor Taizong of Great Qi. Back then, he had a group of loyal ministers such as Wei Zheng who dared to speak out. Zhenguan's great Qi is so strong. Even our great King Tsangpo (Songtsen Gampo) had to reconcile with him. It's a pity, the descendants of Emperor Taizong are really incompetent. Take the old man of the current emperor as an example - hehe, this wretch. With him here, I will never have to worry about the day when Daqi will defeat us. There is only Xiao Yunhe, who is barely a character. It's a pity, it's a pity...... Daqi's gate valve system is too strict. Xiao Yunhe, the little prince of the side lineage, no matter how talented he is, he will never want to ascend to the throne in this life. This is what they call civilization! Hehe, it's ridiculous, isn't it? A person who is a scumbag should be an emperor no matter how useless he is; a person who is obviously very talented, no matter how wise and powerful he is, can only endure to kowtow to that. β
Shang Jiezan listened to these words, and his heart beat a drum. I only remember that when the young Akamatsu Zanpu took the throne, he was resolute and ruthless in eliminating dissidents. Tubo only advocates force, and the strong are kings. Chisong Zanpu is undoubtedly the strongest in Tibet. Even if he is still the most powerful and respected minister, in front of Zampu, he is insignificant and not worth mentioning.
"I suddenly felt a little sorry for Xiao Yunhe. When Trisong Detsen said this, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Xiao Yunhe returned to Victoria, and Xu Zhan's father knelt by the city gate with his family. Shouting thanksgiving and kowtowing. Xiao Yunhe got off the horse, helped Xu's father up, and told everyone else to stand up as well.
Xu's father was gray-haired and looked to be at least sixty years old. His eyes became more cloudy because of tears, and he said excitedly: "Lord Han, it is the first time in the life of the old man to set foot on the land of Daqi. Qi-ζΈβ§ηΆ² is glad ah is happy. Our Xu family is finally able to return to the roots! The great kindness of Lord Han, the Xu family has been a slave for generations, and it can also be repaid in case!"
"Old lady Xu, you don't have to be so polite. Xiao Yunhe clapped his hand. said: "Now that you are home, let's live a good life." The life of your family, this king will hand over to a special person and arrange it for you. Kezhi is a filial son, and the old lady is blessed!"
Father Xu nodded again and again. Excited old tears: "The name of the dog has been changed well." Famous battles, words are kezhi. I hope he can follow under the command of the king of Han and win more battles. Many meritorious deeds. to atone for the sins of our Xu family!"
Xiao Yunhe comforted them a few more words, and everyone entered the city together.
It didn't take long for Wu Yuanheng to find him. Seeing the safe and sound return of King Han, Wu Yuanheng and the others were overjoyed.
After Xiao Yunhe rested for a while, Wu Yuanheng reported two important news. First, Yan Zhen, the envoy of Shannan Xidao, sent the general Ma Xun to lead an army of 20,000 and escort 100,000 stones of grain and grass. It has arrived in Chengdu Province. Waiting for reprimand. The second is that Dongnu sent someone to deliver a letter. It is a handwritten letter from Princess Dugu. Wu Yuanheng didn't dare to open it, so he waited for King Han to come and check it.
Xiao Yunhe opened the letter and read it, and his brows furrowed.
Wu Yuanheng was puzzled: "My lord, what happened?"
"Over there in the East Woman's Country. Nanzhao, Luo Numan, and White Wolf Yi led the crowd to raise troops to attack, and stationed troops at the border. Always ready to attack. It took seven days for the Dongnu State Order to move the clan inward, giving up the native land and moving into the Great Qiya Prefecture. Xiao Yunhe said with some depression: "Nanzhao and other countries, the number of soldiers and horses coming to the place is no less than 50,000. Mo Yi told me that the reason why these barbarians did not act seemed to be waiting for the main force of Tubo. Bo Cang, it seems that Trisong Dezan really didn't lie to me this time. He himself led 200,000 horses, plus 50,000 from Nanzhao and other barbarian states, there were 250,000 people. On the side of the city, there will definitely be Tibetan soldiers and horses to kill them. When the time comes, it will really not be less than 300,000. β
"300,000 ......" Wu Yuanheng groaned, and his expression was a little solemn. He said: "The relocation of the East Female Lady is expected. The soldiers and horses of Tubo, Nanzhao and other countries are coming from afar, and supply will be a big problem. There are tens of thousands of people in the country of Dongnu, which is their living granary. The internal relocation of the Qingye Ju clan in the strong wall of the Dongnu Kingdom can shorten and strengthen our defense line, and secondly, it can also restrict the supply of the barbarian army. It's just that tens of thousands of people from the Dongnu Kingdom have moved inward, and the project is huge, and eating will be a huge problem in the future. This will also be a very heavy burden for Nishikawa. β
"That's what war is all about. What is beaten is money and food. Xiao Yunhe sighed and said, "Now I only hope that the people of Xichuan can do a good job in production and ensure the supply of the army under the leadership of Wei Gao." Bo Cang, I want to transfer Yan Zhendi's soldiers and horses to Yazhou to help Dongnuguo defend the defense line of Yazhou, an important stronghold. What do you think?"
"Very good. That's what Your Majesty means. Wu Yuanheng said: "Now it seems that our original estimate is still very accurate. Tubo really wanted to take the Dongnu country as an important breakthrough. After the Dongnu Kingdom moved inward, the Dadushui area of Yazhou became an important military town directly facing the barbarian coalition army. There, that's the throat of the south side of my Xichuan. However, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Dongnu Kingdom, and the Jianchuan Army in Yazhou Military Town is only about 20,000, and most of them are recruits. This large army from Shannan Province should be a regular army that is brave and good at fighting, and it happens to be an excellent supplementary force. I have heard that Yan Zhen, the envoy of Shannan West Dao, has always been loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and has governed the army in a good way and his majesty is extremely strict. Ma Xun, the general under his command, is also known for his conspiracy. β
"That's fine. Xiao Yunhe handed the letter to Wu Yuanheng and said, "My princess actually wrote to me to ask for military power." She said that she wanted to be a soldier and horse envoy in Yazhou. You said...... Can a woman lead soldiers? I really can't laugh or cry. β
Wu Yuanheng read the letter and smiled: "Adults are not as good as ...... Just promise her. Princess Dugu led her people to move inward, which was also a huge sacrifice. Moreover, the defense of Yazhou will be dominated by the people of the Eastern Women's Country. When necessary, they will be all soldiers. What's more, no one who went to Yazhou would dare to support the princess! Princess Dugu wrote this letter asking for military power, which was also a reasonable thing. Perhaps, she also expected that in her own capacity, no one would dare to command her. It's better to simply lead Yazhou and appoint a capable assistant. β
Xiao Yunhe looked at Wu Yuanheng, smiled and said: "Moyi grew up in the Dongnu Country, although Bing Xue is smart, but he doesn't know much about the customs and customs of our Daqi. I guess it's your sister who is giving him advice again. Well, this time, this king made an exception and appointed Lone Moyi as the soldier and horse envoy of the Yazhou military town, and the general Ma Xun temporarily acted as the deputy soldier and horse envoy of the military town. He wrote back to Wei Gao in Chengdu and asked him to treat Ma Xun and others well. People come from afar to help us defend against the enemy, not only as guests, but also as allies. But don't be lazy. On the ink side, I will write to her personally. After all, it's a female streamer, just hang a leader......" At this point, Xiao Yunhe also stopped and laughed at Wu Yuanheng.
Wu Yuanheng also smiled: "King Han will consider it himself." These family affairs, the subordinates don't talk much. β
On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the full moon is like a plate. The cold moonlight poured down and sprinkled on the head of the city at the Xuanmen Pass.
Xiao Yunhe, who was full of worries, couldn't sleep well, so he simply left the room and walked to the city alone. This is the most important pass in the world today. The city pass, which is only one or two miles long, will have to withstand the impact of nearly 200,000 troops in Tibet. Xiao Yunhe walked to the wall of the city and patted the cold stone with his hand. A bone-chilling chill came, which calmed down his somewhat chaotic mood a little.
At this moment, a group of sentry guards passed by him, clasped their fists together and saluted, shouting in unison: "King Han!"
"Well, hard work. Go ahead. Xiao Yunhe smiled and raised his hand at them, and the group of soldiers walked in front of him. Xiao Yunhe looked at the backs of these soldiers, and suddenly had an irrepressible feeling in his heart.
This is the soldier of Daqi. From the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wude, to Zhenguan, and now Zhenyuan more than a hundred years later. At any given time, he had no less dealings with soldiers. In his Xiao Yunhe's heart, soldiers have always been the most admirable and respectable. Although he is also a disciple of Liu Ling who likes singing, opera, poetry, calligraphy and painting, his experience in the army at the age of 16 makes him have a particularly strong and special affection for soldiers.
Only those who have been on the battlefield in the army know how precious life is. In life, there are so many things to cherish. Take, for example, the group of soldiers who just walked in front of him. Most of them are in their twenties, the best age of their lives. Some people have wives and young children at home, parents and brothers. However, who would have thought that in two days, they would still be standing here alive?
On the battlefield, no one could have predicted it. Do you have a tomorrow? Especially...... Faced with an uncertain war. Death is actually not terrible, Xiao Yunhe died once. The moment life leaves the body, in fact, people are really detached. I didn't think about any fame and wealth. I just knew in the dark that I was dead. But when I think of it, my death will bring a lot of pain to those who love me. I will feel very sad in my heart.
This sadness will be far greater than the fear of death.
This may ...... It's the meaning of life! Live for the people you love and those who love you.
Xuanmen Pass, compared to the Great Qi Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains, is really an insignificant place. But from this moment on, it has carried the spiritual sustenance of hundreds of millions of people. He Xiao Yunhe's few feet mortal body. It also provokes the love, hatred and expectation of hundreds of millions of people on his shoulders.
If the Xuanmen does not fall, Huaxia will not die! The King of Han will not fall, and the Great Qi will not die!
"Xuanmen Pass!" Xiao Yunhe took a deep breath, stared at the place where the troops were stationed in Tubo in the north, and remembered a poem he had written before. couldn't help but chant in a long voice: "Stroke the long sword, how can you invite the world." The star flag is raised, and the sun feather is in the sky. Ten thousand horses all over the field. Linyuan was stationed in the fifth battalion. Mountaineering and martial arts festivals, backwater and gods. In Xirong, now the universe is flat. β
"Good poem!" A voice came from behind him, "This poem by Emperor Taizong "Returning Shaanxi Shuhuai", his subordinates also like it very much. β
Xiao Yunhe turned his head and smiled slightly: "Bo Cang can't sleep either?"
Wu Yuanheng bowed his hand slightly: "The big war is imminent, and it is inevitable to be a little anxious." King Han, in fact, his subordinates have been thinking about a small problem. β
"What's the problem?"
Wu Yuanheng said: "King Han still remembers. Shi Jingfeng and those 200 dead soldiers? I was really a little surprised how the King of Han agreed to him at that time. β
"Why don't you agree?" Xiao Yunhe chuckled, looked at the north with a silent face, and said, "Two hundred." Compared to the 200,000 Tibetan army, it is too insignificant. Jianchuan Army. There are not many of these two hundred, and there are not many of them. If Shi Jingfeng can really use these 200 people to turn the rear of the Tubo people upside down as he said, it will undoubtedly be the most cost-effective. β
"Han Wang believes they can succeed?"
"Believe. Xiao Yunhe smiled a little sadly, "Or rather, I'd rather believe it." β
Wu Yuanheng was slightly stunned, then sighed lightly and said, "It turns out that this is war, this is the battlefield. When I used to read books, my subordinates were often moved by many hot-blooded and brave men. But I never thought that after this thin and thin pen and ink, the real soldiers and war are even more emotional. Dead soldiers, two simple words, how easy it is to say from the mouths of those of us scholars who sit and talk. But...... The real dead soldiers, they all put themselves to death first, and then do something that needs to be done. This kind of spirit is something that the vast majority of people cannot understand and experience. β
"If a man is a piece of iron, then the battlefield is the fiercest fire. Xiao Yunhe said, "Agni fire can produce good steel, and the battlefield can also test and hone a man the most." In the face of life and death, the nature of man and earth will be undoubtedly exposed. Standing on the edge of the battlefield, you can see the appearance of beings who are almost naked. If someone is so scared that they pee their pants, you must not laugh at them. Because, it's almost an instinct. Some people are so scared that they cry, some people become fierce and abnormal, and some people hide behind others, unable to pick up knives and guns, or even run away. These are the true temperaments of a person buried deep in his heart. β
Wu Yuanheng nodded thoughtfully, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I can now understand why Emperor Taizong built the Lingyan Pavilion back then. β
Xiao Yunhe's heart trembled slightly: "Why?"
"Just because, a love word. Wu Yuanheng said, "As adults say, on the battlefield, in the face of life and death, people's true nature will be exposed. And the friendship on the battlefield is also the strongest friendship of life. Sometimes, it is even better than affection. Emperor Taizong joined the army as a young man, conquered the world for decades, and finally the world was flat and the four seas were subdued. But when he sat on the dragon chair, he had a distance from the advisors and generals around him before. People who used to depend on each other in life and death have gradually become estranged. This feeling must have made Emperor Taizong very uncomfortable in his later years. So, he built the Lingyan Pavilion. His Majesty believes that the King of Han is very similar to Emperor Taizong in this regard, and they are both temperamental. Although you never say it, you don't say it. But I can see it in your eyes and your casual movements. You love these soldiers very much. β
Xiao Yunhe glanced at Wu Yuanheng a few times, turned his head and laughed a few times. Wu Yuanhengdi's words undoubtedly entered his heart.
Sometimes, some emotions don't need to be expressed and can't be expressed. It's like Xiao Yunhe's special feelings for the soldiers of Daqi.
After being quiet for a long time, Xiao Yunhe said, "Bo Cang." If this time, we can win in Nishikawa, and you and I can survive. What's the one thing you'd like to do?"
Wu Yuanheng thought for a moment, then showed his trademark smile: "Call my sister back." Shut up in the house and curse for a day. β
Xiao Yunhe was slightly stunned, and then laughed. Wu Yuanheng also laughed along. The two men laughed inexplicably, and it spread far away in the quiet night. In the laughter, there is pride and tragedy. There is also a love for life and incomparable attachment to relatives.
The silver moon is shining, and everything is quiet.
This may be the last peaceful night in Nishikawa.
Yazhou. Lushan County.
Tonight, there are also two people who can't sleep.
Moyi dipped a pen in ink and applied the final strokes to the floor in his hand. She put the pen on her hand, held the mask in her hand, looked at it carefully, and smiled.
Wu Qiyun on the side came over to take a few looks, and smiled happily: "It's finally done, put it on and take a look!"
"Let's wait until tomorrow to wear it, the ink is dry. Moyi placed the mask on the windowsill. The windows were opened so that the ink dries faster.
The cold wind of midwinter penetrated in, and Wu Qiyun's somewhat thin body trembled slightly.
"Good sister, go back and rest. Moyi walked up to her and stroked her shoulder. "These days, you have been bumpy and tired with my people. It's really hard for you. β
"I'm fine. Wu Qiyun smiled slightly, held Moyi's cold hand, and said, "You are not the same, your fingers are cold." You don't care about the queen and the princess, so what am I afraid of? Maybe in the next day or two, the combined army of Tubo and Nanzhao is about to attack. If we want to get together and talk again, I'm afraid it's not that easy. β
Mo Yi smiled, pulled Wu Qiyun to sit down on the edge of the bed, and said, "You tell the truth." Are you afraid?"
Wu Qiyun smiled hesitantly: "It's a little ...... It's the first time I've seen a real war with my own eyes. For the first time, I also felt that war was really hateful. So many people are going to die on the battlefield. Won't their relatives feel grief-stricken?"
"Yes...... Mo Yi smiled slightly and said, "War is hateful. However, if the war is to be stopped, it must be achieved through the guΓ² war. Therefore, when war befalls us, it is useless to avoid it, only to rise up and resist. Actually, if it weren't for Lord Han...... I'm afraid I've reached the plateau thousands of miles away at this moment, and I've become the end of Tufan Zampu. Where can I talk to you here?Sister Yun'er, tell me the truth, do you also like King Han very much?"
"Ah?......" Wu Qiyun was taken aback with some surprise, and then shook his head in some panic, "No, I didn't!"
"Hehe, don't lie to yourself. Mo Yi looked at Wu Qiyun like an eldest sister, and said with a smile, "A woman's feelings are always the keenest. You came with me to Dongnu Kingdom to do these things, just to make King Han pay more attention to you, didn't you?"
Wu Qiyun's heart thumped, he bit his lip and lowered his head. "A man like King Han is something that women will like. Even if he is not the king of Han, just a civilian man, it is the same. Mo Yi still smiled, took Wu Qiyun's hand, and said, "We people in the East Women's Country never hide our emotions. If you like it, you have to go for it. Only if you fight for it, you will have no regrets. In this life, it is rare for a woman to meet a wishful husband who she really likes. I wouldn't mind sharing half of the pillow with a good sister like you. β
"Don't say it, I'm ashamed!" Wu Qiyun's face turned red, and he shook his hand anxiously, "It's going to be a war, and you still have the heart to say this." β
"The more we face life and death, the more real our feelings become. You'll get the idea. Mo Yi patted Wu Qiyun's hand and said, "Back then, King Han and I were pierced by a sword. From that moment I understood. King Han is the man I love the most in my life. I am willing to give anything for him, including my life. In men's hearts, there are the world, brothers, and hegemony, but in the hearts of our women, only the man we love deeply is a qiΔ. Sister Yun'er, one day, you will understand this. Although I am a small guest in the East Women's Country, I am also a woman. When my heart has something to rely on, it doesn't matter to me anymore. As long as I have him in my heart, I will never give up and never compromise. From the moment he draped his robe over me...... I understand that my life belongs only to him Wu Qiyun's face was red, and he stretched out a hand to gently caress the crimson robe folded at the head of the bed, and said, "That's it...... Is this one?"
"Yes......" Mo Yi's face was also a little red, she remembered how she was naked and picked up by the King of Han, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "At that time, I was bathing in the marriage lake, and I was about to marry in Tibet." It was the King of Han who carried me back with this robe. From now on, I only belong to him and to Daqi. β
Wu Qiyun took the robe to his knee and gently stroked it with his hand: "I really envy you......"
"Silly sister...... "Mo Yi sighed and said, "Don't talk about that." Speaking of which, I want to thank you for giving me this idea. Put on a hideous mask and go to war, and it will definitely work wonders. β
"I'm just imitating the ancients. Wu Qiyun smiled and said, "The Lanling King of Northern Qi is brave and invincible. But because he was too feminine, neither the sergeant nor the enemy was afraid of him. He then made a hideous and fearful mask and put it on and went into battle, and from then on made the enemy fearful. Sister Dugu is too beautiful, and the sergeant and the enemy appreciate the beauty when they see it, where will you remember that you are a general? But my sister's craftsmanship is good, and the mask painted is really beautiful! Coupled with this fiery bright light armor and scarlet robe, the whole person is like a fiery phoenix!"
"That's it, Phoenix. Agni isn't bad. Mo Yi smiled, "From now on, I will be the Agni General in the Tang Army." I want to make the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army forget my true identity. Just remember the fire!"
On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, it was sunny and windy.
Tri Song Detsen rode on his horse and looked at the city of Victoria that was approaching.
The entrance was closed, and a huge red flag with Tang characters was fluttering. Tang Jun's gorgeous armor and sharp knives and guns, reflecting the sunlight, made him feel a little dazzling.
The strong wind blew and drummed, and the wool on the leather robe of Tubo flew for a while.
180,000 troops! 180,000 of the most elite iron cavalry in Tibet!
It has been more than 20 years since he held the position of Zampu, and it is the first time that Trisong Detsen has personally led such a large army to personally conquer. Looking at the soldiers around him who were as majestic as bears and tigers, Trisong Detsen's mustache was raised lightly and a smile was revealed.
Beside him were some of the most powerful courtiers and generals in Tibet. The prime minister is still praising it, and the general is talking about the promise. Everyone sat silently on their horses, silent. They were all waiting for the supreme Zamp, who raised the horsewhip in an extremely domineering manner and pointed at Victoria City.
But for a long time, Trisong Dezan still didn't move, just looked at the entrance gate with a smile.
Shang Jiezan couldn't help but whispered, "Zampu, when will you attack." β
"There's no hurry. With a confident and satisfied smile, Trisong Dezan said, "The most astute hunter is never satisfied with the mere harvest of wild beasts. What he enjoys is the process of hunting. It was a pleasure to watch the beast panic, panic, and tremble in front of you. Now, I'm going to let Xiao Yunhe feel this mood more. When I put myself in his shoes, I feel very satisfied. β
Shang Jiezan was speechless, and only said in his heart: Zampu has long been Zhizhu holding his chest, just like a cat playing with a mouse. It's terrible to go against such a man...... It's just that he is defeated, but he has to be completely defeated, completely teased and humiliated......
The entrance was closed, and Xiao Yunhe stood tall and stood beside the banner. on his body. He was dressed in a new crimson robe, and his armor was shiny. It became the most dazzling point when the door was closed.
There was only silence on his face.
Looking at the Tubo army in front of him, Xiao Yunhe's heart was as calm as water. Holding the hilt of the sword in one hand and crossing his waist with the other, he looked fixedly at the QiΔ in front of the Xuanmen Gate. Beside him, a dozen unusually stout drummers. In the winter, the upper body was stripped naked. Holding the drum hammer with both hands, he waited for the king of Han to give an order to beat the war drums. On the edge of the city, five teams of soldiers in front and behind, totaling 10,000 people, stood neatly. Not a single person moved.
Almost everyone, holding their breath. But the heart was pounding, almost jumping out of the throat. There was hardly a single one of them. I've seen such a huge enemy army. Never before has there been such a huge battle.
Minutes and seconds passed. Within a radius of dozens of miles, only the bitter north wind was heard howling wantonly. Layers of yellow sand flew into the air, rolling up the ruined leaves. Forming a whirlpool.
The Tibetan people have no fear, and they are all confident and eager to try. The Tang army fell silent. No one spoke, but no one knew in their hearts that today's battle would be more than lucky. I don't know how many people can survive from the Xuanmen Gate.
Xiao Yunhe stood quietly for a long time, taking care of his mood with ease. Experienced in a hundred battles, he smoothly kept himself as calm as an outsider. Because he knows how the war will continue and how it will evolve. He, the commander-in-chief, must also have a vision of the overall situation and become the support of everyone's beliefs. But he also knew that soldiers were flesh and blood after all. Before this kind of life-and-death duel, the fear from the heart will make everyone's body weak, trance-like and even hysterical.
"Drumming!" Xiao Yunhe suddenly shouted loudly. The Tang army at the head of the city was shocked. Everyone shuddered as if they had been initiated. The soldiers who were about to swim in the void just now, and at this moment, they received their souls into their bodies.
Behind Xiao Yunhe. More than 30 musicians who had been arranged here early rang the chimes and drums to play a tune.
"Brothers, sing it!" Xiao Yunhe said loudly, "Sing the pent-up fear and tension in your hearts with the loudest voice." This song is the military song of our Tang Army, which has lasted for a hundred years. I believe everyone should be able to sing!"
Gao Gu was closest to Xiao Yunhe, and at this time he led the singing loudly: "How can you have no clothes early, and you are in the same robe as your son!"
His voice was thick, high-pitched, and with a sand that almost tore his throat, which was not at all pleasant.
However, to the ears of Xiao Yunhe and all the soldiers, it was the most beautiful voice in the world!
Immediately, many soldiers sang along, "Do you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and share the same enmity with the son. How can you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd, and work with the son. Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are clothed with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with my son!"
Xiao Yunhe also raised his arms and finished singing the military song of "Qin Feng.Yi" with all the soldiers.
Many officers and soldiers of the Tang Army involuntarily brandished their swords and guns as if they had drunk strong wine, and their faces turned red. All emotions are vented in this song. Whether it's fear or attachment, after singing this song, there will only be a life-and-death battle in front of you!
The Tubo people were surprised to see that when the originally calm and normal Xuanmen closed, all the Tang troops brandished their swords and guns and sang loudly. And it is obvious that the Tang Army, who was so nervous that they almost collapsed, are all full of unprecedented vitality at this time. It's as if they've woken up from a deep sleep, and they're like two people before. Chi Song Dezan frowned slightly, and muttered to himself: Xiao Yunhe is really an experienced commander...... Marching and fighting wars pay attention to the right time, place and people. This person is, in fact, the most easily overlooked. Many generals are accustomed to treating soldiers as puppets and livestock, and do not take their emotions into account. Only experienced commanders know that when they are about to fight, especially when they are facing disadvantages, the hearts of soldiers are the most complicated. Fear is instinctive for all people. Once the war starts, it will become insensitive, and even fall into madness, making it impossible for the generals to command. Singing a song can give vent to your emotions. Relax your tense mind.
Shang Jiezan narrowed his eagle-like eyes and scanned the gate closed, and said with a cold snort: "Is Tang Jun singing a funeral song for himself?"
"If you think so, you can do that. To Shang Jiezan's surprise, Trisong Dezan actually heard it and said, "You may not know that this is the military song of the Tang Army." The lyrics of the song are taken from "Qin Feng. Clothing. The meaning of it is that it is said that it is very large. The soldiers depend on each other for life and death, never abandon each other, and regard death as home. It can be seen that Xiao Yunhe's preparation is very sufficient. Although there are few of them, they have not fallen behind at all in terms of momentum. β
Shang Jiezan was slightly surprised. Then he was stunned and said, "Zampu is really ...... It seems that in the future, Lao Chen will also have to read more Han music books and understand a little bit of their culture. Zampu is right, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles. β
"It's good to understand. Trisong Dezan glanced at him. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Let them sing." We're not in a hurry. The beast in the cage, no matter how much it opens its teeth, cannot scare the hunter. When they are tired of tossing and turning, we will go and clean them up with leisure. β
"Zan Pu is smart!" "Shang praised some officials and generals next to him, and patted their farts together.
Xiao Yunhe looked at the Tubo people and horses under the Xuanmen Gate, but he didn't move at all, and he thought in his heart: This Chisong Dezan is too arrogant and unreasonable, is he playing with cats and mice?
"Herald. When the flag died down, everyone sat down and rested. Xiao Yunhe ordered loudly, "Drum band, play a few festive songs." The louder, the better!"
Although they were a little stunned, everyone carried out the military order in an instant.
Pause. The swords, guns, swords, halberds that were lined up when the Xuanmen was closed were gone, and all the Tang troops sat down. The city is closed. There was a loud and noisy sound of drumming.
Chi Song Dezan was also stunned when he saw it: "Tang Jun, you actually played the wedding music......?" Hehe, Xiao Yunhe, you are really an interesting person!" The Tubo people burst out laughing.
At the same time, the Tang soldiers who were closing the gate couldn't help but laugh when they heard this familiar music.
This is good, it is obviously a big battlefield of life and death, and the people on both sides actually laughed.
With this smile, everyone's mood was actually relaxed. The solemn atmosphere that was almost frozen in the air before suddenly disappeared a lot.
Laughing and laughing, Xiao Yunhe still paid close attention to the movements of the Tubo army.
Tri Songde praised and raised his hand, stopped the laughter and noise of the army, and said, "On Mangluo, take 10,000 men and march slowly." Remember, it's tardigrade. β
"Yes!" said in an extremely rude voice, rode his horse to the side of the phalanx, counted the men, and walked out of the formation.
10,000 Tibetan cavalry, lined up in a cone-shaped shock array, slowly approached the Xuanmen Pass.
In the middle of the Xuanmen Pass, I don't know who shouted loudly in panic: "Coming, the Tubo people are coming!" This shout was like dropping a bomb in everyone's hearts, and there was a burst of coaxing, and many people couldn't help but stand up.
"Bold! Whoever shouted, and who made you stand up!" Xiao Yunhe reprimanded angrily and said loudly, "Everyone, you must act according to the order, and whoever violates the order will be beheaded! Whoever dares to commit it again will not be tolerated!"
Suddenly, all the Tang troops sat down obediently again, and no one dared to say anything.
Chi Song Dezan watched the door close, and couldn't help frowning again, and secretly thought to himself: This Xiao Yunhe is really calm, and he is indeed an opponent with chess and drums!
