Commentary:

The two armies fought and killed each other, and there was a lot of blood in the city.

The sword flashed with murderous aura, and the feather arrow whizzed to snatch the soul.

The beans are fried and killed, and the struggle for power is true.

Each state capital is called the king of heaven, who is the visionary?

The next day, in the middle of Ping'an Prefecture, the drums sounded, and since the hour of the hour, it has been going from left to right. However, it was the Shunyi Army led by Chen Zhiyuan who held a military exercise celebration.

Chen Zhiyuan's generals had already lined up in the field of the West University of Honshu.

First, Chen Zhiyuan announced that the army would be based on Ping'an Prefecture, and Chen Zhiyuan would proclaim himself the king. The armies rejoice!

Then the herald asked Chen Zhiyuan to announce: The exercise has begun.

The second item is that Chen Zhiyuan's 50,000 horses are divided into five battalions, and among each battalion, send their elite soldiers to arrange them in a phalanx, and ask the king Chen Zhiyuan to review them.

The third item is the generals' military exercises. This is the main event. Performing martial arts has some meaning of martial arts.

Most of the generals under Chen Zhiyuan were soldiers who had served as low-level junior army commanders or something when they were in the battalion. Among them, the big sword often wins, but he is the one who has really been the commander.

Chang Sheng rode out and shouted: "Brothers, who will come to compete with me?"

However, the generals under Chen Zhiyuan all knew that the big sword was always powerful, and naturally no one dared to enter the field to ask for shame.

Chen Zhiyuan looked at it, yo, isn't it cold like this! Immediately said to Shi Qiangsheng: "General Shi, you can enter the competition with General Chang." ”

Shi Qiangsheng said: "Repay the king, the last general is only good at archery, and the competition is definitely not the opponent of General Chang!"

Speaking of which, Chen Zhiyuan's team of 50,000 horses, and its soldiers are all from the battalion of the household, but after being out of the army for a long time, it is inevitable to be looser. Chang Sheng's strong appearance is quite unorganized and undisciplined, but it is not a disturbance, but a dissatisfaction.

This person believes that his martial arts are superior to everyone in this army, and yesterday he had been politely agreed by Chen Zhiyuan to lead the troops to the west to slaughter the village today, but it was canceled again in the evening - the reason is this martial arts celebration!

This person also heard that during the military exercise, the army would elect a new general. When I inquired, it turned out to be a prisoner captured yesterday, and when I asked for his name, it was called Shi Qiangsheng. Chang Sheng knew that he had gone to slaughter the village, and it was also for this person.

Chang Sheng played like this, and really achieved his expected goal. Sure enough, Chen Zhiyuan, the king of heaven, had no choice but to send Shi Qiangsheng to enter the martial arts!

Chen Zhiyuan also knew the arrogance of the vanguard general under his command, and ordered at that time: Ordnance officer, give the generals on the scene to change the military weapons!

It turns out that this martial arts weapon is only used for performance, and it will not hurt people. For example, Chang Sheng used a knife, which was just a wooden knife, and Shi Qiangsheng used a bow and arrow, which had no arrowhead.

But he said that the big knife always wins, holding the big wooden knife, stationed in the racecourse, watching Shi Qiangsheng on the opposite side enter the field, and looking closely at this person, it is to make double maces or double whips, because the opponent holds two short sticks.

Shi Qiangsheng has the weakest fists and feet, the strongest bow and arrow, in fact, the double whip is used, although it is not comparable to the master, but it is far superior to the low hand. Chen Zhiyuan's generals can really beat Shi Qiangsheng, that is, this is often victorious.

Chang Sheng saw Shi Qiangsheng enter the scene, and immediately shouted: "You are the new Shi Qiangsheng?"

Shi Qiangsheng listened, although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it, but said modestly: "The last general is Shi Qiangsheng, the king of heaven ordered the last general to enter and accompany the general to a few moves, in order to set off the general's majesty!"

When Chang Sheng heard this, he felt that this person could also speak, and it made people happy to listen to it, so he laughed and said: "General Shi, don't be modest, let's start." ”

Shi Qiangsheng said: "Please be kind to the general's subordinates!"

So they turned their horses' heads, and each ran away from each other, and when they reached the ground, they turned their horses' heads again, and galloped toward the heart of the horse.

Shi Qiangsheng said in his heart, I don't know how capable these people are, and I have rarely fought with people, so it is better for me to use a bow and arrow to shock him first, so that he can know that I, Shi Qiangsheng, also have two brushes.

Thinking of this, Shi Qiangsheng hung up his double whip, took a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow with a "whoosh" when the horse rushed forward!

Chang Sheng is also a horse rushing forward, and at first glance he was naturally shocked when he saw this arrow: Yo, the arrow surnamed Shi is so fast!

Chang Sheng raised his big knife to block it, and he heard a muffled sound, but it was this arrow that shot at the head of the wooden big knife, and actually broke the head of the knife.

When Chang Sheng saw it, he was depressed and thought to himself, if this is my thick-backed machete, how can it be damaged by your arrow?!

At this time, the two of them were nearly sixty steps away, and the two horses rushed forward, and Shi Qiangsheng was counting arrows, and he shot them in a row, and he was even more surprised when he saw it: This surnamed Shi's archery skills are clever!

At that time, Chang Sheng danced his knife to block the arrow, but after all, an arrow was not dodged and was shot in the shoulder socket. If the arrow has no arrow, it will naturally not die, but this is actually equivalent to winning and losing!

Everyone outside the stadium saw clearly, but no one dared to say it. Chen Zhiyuan naturally saw it, but he also pretended not to see it. Why, in the mind of this Chen Tianwang, it is more important to win the big sword.

But he said that Chang Sheng was hit by this arrow, his face turned red, and his heart said that I am ashamed to be in front of everyone! No, I have to earn this face back!

At this time, the two of them had already met each other, and the big knife in Chang Sheng's hand had become a big stick, but Shi Qiangsheng was holding two short sticks in his hand. Chang Sheng held a stick as a knife, and he also felt a little awkward. However, the two fought each other, and after all, they were always victorious:

Just when the two horses intersected, Chang Sheng swung his knife and slashed, and the big stick was hitting Shi Qiangsheng's horse's buttocks.

Shi Qiangsheng was taken by surprise and fell off the horse at that time. Chang Sheng came back to his horse, pointed at Shi Qiangsheng with a big stick, and shouted: "You are not my opponent after all!"

Shi Qiangsheng has already seen that this person is very strong. At that time, Shi Qiangsheng thought secretly, since I did it here, this person should not be offended. Besides, I am no match for him when it comes to weapons.

So Shi Qiangsheng arched his hand and said: "General Chang is really worthy of being a pioneer general, with strong swordsmanship, and the last general is willing to admit defeat!"

When Chen Zhiyuan and the generals met, they all applauded: "General Chang is good at swordsmanship!"

Chang Sheng consciously earned back his face, and he got off the donkey down the slope: "Accept, accept!"

Chen Zhiyuan also wants to comfort Shi Qiangsheng, after all, he is not a fool, and it can be seen that Shi Qiangsheng actually has his strengths, and he is really clever in archery. At that time, he poured two glasses of wine, sent for them, and ordered:

"Next, ask General Shi to perform archery!"

So someone set up a stack of arrows on one side of the school grounds—that is, targets.

Hearing that Shi Qiangsheng was asked to perform archery, the generals had already seen Shi Qiangsheng's ability to shoot arrows and swords, and they were all applauded.

Shi Qiangsheng got the order, changed his horse, and rushed forward from 200 paces away. The generals were amazed: what is he?

Seeing the horse rushing forward, Shi Qiangsheng was more than 150 steps away from the arrow stack and had already opened his bow! It was a series of arrows, nine arrows in a row, "whoosh" to the ground, all nine arrows hit the red heart, and the last arrow was in the middle of the red heart!

At this time, Shi Qiangsheng was almost a hundred steps away from the arrow target, and everyone was applauding, and they saw Shi Qiangsheng standing on the war horse, and "whoosh" another arrow!

I saw this arrow, flying through the air, just the arrow that was in the center of the red heart among the previous nine arrows, forcefully pushed out, penetrated the target, and fell to the ground, but the last arrow was steadily shot at the bull's-eye, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling!

At this time, the whole school hall was cheering! Since then, Shi Qiangsheng has earned the reputation of a marksman.

Just when the Shunyi Army of Ping'an Prefecture was cheering here, there was a boom, and several cannons rang out from outside the east gate!

Chen Zhiyuan's army was shocked!

Chen Zhiyuan immediately ordered: "Where is the sentry horse? Hurry up and give this Heavenly King a sentry to find out the situation at the east gate!"

Before the sentry horses left here, the military report from the East City Gate over there came: Outside the East City Gate, there are 100,000 men and horses under the command of Lu Jiu, who are camping! The 5,000 men and horses of his vanguard battalion are attacking the East City Gate!

When Chen Zhiyuan heard the report, he was naturally surprised: This Lu Jiugong and I belong to the same Shunyi army, why do you want to attack our army?

Although he was surprised, Chen Zhiyuan still ordered Chang Sheng to lead the troops of his headquarters to rescue Dongcheng on the one hand, and led the troops on his own while on the other. He didn't forget to say to Shi Qiangsheng: "General Shi, put on armor and weapons, and go to the east gate with this Heavenly King to meet the enemy!"

Shi Qiangsheng was thinking about it, and said in his heart that it turned out to be your infighting! The infighting is good, you infighting, Lao Tzu and I just took the opportunity to escape, and my sister still doesn't know where to flee!

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhiyuan was very worried about himself, and Shi Qiangsheng had no choice but to say: "Yes!

However, he said that Chen Zhiyuan led the troops to the East Gate, and he was extremely inexplicable in his heart along the way: Why did Lu Jiugong come to attack him?

It turned out that there was a great rebellion in the East Eight Prefectures, and the first to rebel was Zhu Wu, a native of Shunyi Prefecture. After this rebellion, because he lived in Honshu, after capturing Honshu, he proclaimed himself the king of Shunyi, and his army was called the Shunyi army.

The eight eastern states were in turmoil, and several forces were soon formed. Between several forces, they may merge or divide. At the beginning, they all responded to Zhu Wu under the banner of the Shunyi Army. Gradually, some people grew up and wanted to be independent.

Although Zhu Wu was the first to raise troops, after several major forces were formed, he could not control these ambitious people.

Several forces of the Shunyi Army, including: Lu Jiugong, Yang Qingcai, Zhang Yousan, and Zhu Wu's headquarters.

Today, Zhu Wu was the first to raise troops, and his headquarters was based on Shunyi Prefecture and occupied the land of the neighboring Haizhou and Nan'an Prefectures. Zhang Yousan occupied the ground of Daming Prefecture and Daxing Prefecture, and snatched the land of Mazhou, but squeezed away Lu Jiugong, who originally occupied Mazhou.

Then Yang Qingcai occupied Huangzhou and Hongzhou, and saw that there was no land to grab in the eastern eight states, and marched to the northwest, and successively defeated Dafeng Prefecture and Xiaofeng Prefecture, occupying the ground of the four states. Lu Jiugong knew that he couldn't afford to provoke others, so he marched west and seized the ground in Anshun Prefecture.

Now, Lu Jiugong heard that Ping'an Prefecture to the west of Anshun Prefecture was occupied by Chen Zhiyuan, so he bullied him into having few troops and wanted to seize Ping'an Prefecture and expand his land.

Speaking of which, by this time, the four forces of the Eastern Eight Prefectures were within the reach of the soldiers, not only the Eastern Eight Prefectures, but also the four prefectures of Fengzhou, Anshun Prefecture and Ping'an Prefecture had become the sphere of influence of the Shunyi Army.

Speaking of which, these twelve states are already nearly one-third of the territory of the Datong Khanate.

The Eastern Eight Prefectures were in turmoil, so why didn't the court of the Datong Khanate send troops to suppress it?

In fact, the soldiers have been out, but they just don't fight. The current emperor of the Datong Khanate is a mediocre lord born in the deep palace and grown up in the hands of women.

There were originally four pillars in the court today, and among the four pillars, only one of the Nanting pillars was really doing things for the court, but this person was excluded and could not be positioned, and he had been demoted to death. The other three, one is Fang Ying, the Duke of Beiting Zhu, the other is Tang Zirong, the Duke of Xiting Zhu, and the other is Du Huaibiao, the Duke of Dongting Zhu.

The person in charge of suppressing the bandits is none other than Du Huaibiao, the prince of Dongting Zhu. Du Huaibiao led the army and left the capital, but he was stationed at Qingliu Pass and did not move. Why?

The imperial court did not move, so the Shunyi army rebelled internally, grabbed the territory, and fought for power. That Lu Jiugong, seeing that others were in Dazhou, and he was robbed of the original territory by that Zhang Yousan and overthrew Mazhou, so he led his troops westward, first going down to Shunyi Prefecture, and then attacking Ping'an Prefecture.

Someone had already reported to Lu Jiugong that Chen Zhiyuan's troops had captured Ping'an Prefecture. Lu Jiu said fairly: "No matter who he occupies Ping'an Prefecture, this Heavenly King will also take it down!"

Lu Jiugong had 100,000 men and horses, leaving 30,000 to guard Anshun Prefecture, and sent 70,000 troops, known as 100,000, to attack Ping'an Prefecture. Lu Jiugong's subordinates, there is a person who is quite resourceful, named Chang Sichen.

Chang Sichen said to Lu Jiu: "King Lu Tian, according to the villain's opinion, we will be taken by surprise and sneak attack!"

Lu Jiu said fairly: "Reasonable!"

At that time, Lu Jiugong ordered his subordinates to get water, lead 5,000 troops as the vanguard, and seize the east gate of Ping'an Prefecture first, and he himself led the army to follow.

Unexpectedly, in the city of Ping'anzhou, after Li Shijian's big trouble, the four gates were closed and not opened;

So after Lu Jiugong's vanguard Yu Deshui led the troops, he had to take advantage of the fact that the guards did not expect that they would come to attack the city, attack the east gate first, and report to Lu Jiugong at the same time. Lu Jiugong's army then arrived, and while setting up camp, he released a trumpet cannon to storm Ping'an Zhou City!

At this time, there were 5,000 people in the Yudeshui Division, while there were only 1,000 guards around the East City Gate. These 1,000 people are the original 500 people who unified the people, plus the 500 people who were added when Li Shijian was encircled and suppressed that day, a total of two unified people.

However, it is always difficult for the besiegers to gain the upper hand, no, the defenders reported in time, and Chen Zhiyuan's vanguard Chang Sheng's men and horses also arrived at the east gate to help defend them.

However, after Lu Jiugong's army arrived, the whole army came out together, and the four gates attacked at the same time!
