When night fell, the whole Tang army withdrew to the city of Changzhou to defend it, while Gechila's army camped ten miles outside the city, and the two sides chose to truce at night.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the Changzhou camp, more than a dozen candles with thick arms were lit under the big tent, illuminating the entire big tent, Zheng Gu's body was placed on the table in the middle of the big tent, and the corpse's face was already blue, and it was a little terrifying in the candlelight.

Wu Xiao sat in the handsome seat not at all, Zhaohu stood behind him, and the nine black cavalry commanders were lined up on both sides of the big tent, standing behind the guards of Changzhou.

After returning to the camp, at the military meeting, several Changzhou generals reported the last words of Marshal Zheng Gu before his death, and the big tent of the Chinese army immediately exploded.

Most of the generals who followed Zheng Gu expressed their support, while Jiang Chenggan, the former deputy marshal, and Lu Gonggong, the chief eunuch of the supervising army, were obviously not convinced, and there was a quarrel below.

"Without the emperor's holy decree, how can the position of Marshal Mobei be decided so hastily, and I see that this General Ximing has only been in Mobei for a long time, and he is so young, how can he sit in the position of marshal, or Jiang Jun is more suitable, I will draft a fold tomorrow, please make a decision to the emperor" Gonggong Lu shouted with a sangzi

"Tomorrow the Turks will attack again, and you still write a fart song, whether you have the life to go back is not certain," a general stood up and said disdainfully

"This is Mobei, and the tradition of three generations of marshals is like this, and the emperor will approve it," said another general

Jiang Chenggan stood up and said, "You Tongze, don't be bored, I, Jiang Cheng, have been in Mobei for two years, and I am also the deputy marshal personally appointed by the emperor, according to the law of the court, I should take over the position of marshal, I pretend to be not thin on all the brothers on weekdays, and I hope that the brothers will support me at the critical moment"

After speaking, he swept the faces of the generals, and immediately several generals lowered their heads and turned sideways to look at him.

"Brother Jiang, it's not that I'm so kind, now at the moment of life and death, you and my brother can usually drink, do you think you are better than this General Xi when you go into battle?"

"That's right, if you're willing to lead a team of men and horses to fight against Na Gechila tomorrow, we can consider supporting you as the commander," a general chimed in, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Wu Xiao was fascinated by Qingqing, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and did not express his opinion.

When Jiang Chenggan heard the duel with Gechila, he immediately coughed twice and stopped talking, and slowly sat back in his place.

"Ximing, do you want to rebel? Little General Zhenyuan, the official rank of Wupin, also dares to grab the position of the commander?" Father-in-law Lu was anxious, stood up and pointed at Wu Xiao and shouted.

Wu Xiao opened his eyes and looked at him, his face expressionless, and after a moment he glanced at the commander standing behind.

The nine commanders immediately came out of the ranks, rushed out from behind, raised their swords in their hands, and beheaded Father-in-law Nalu on the spot. Jiang Chenggan saw that the momentum was not good, and he was about to rush out of the big tent, but he was caught up by a commander from the rear and stabbed him in the back to the chest.

After killing people, he took out his knife, wiped the knife on Jiang Chenggan's corpse, returned the knife to the sheath, and returned to the column.

After a moment of panic among the generals present, they slowly quieted down, Wu Xiao raised his head and said: "Jiang Chenggan and Father-in-law Lu, who died in the line of duty, performed bravely on the battlefield, write a memorabilia tomorrow, ask the emperor to commend it, and say that Marshal Zheng Gu has handed over the command of the whole army to me."

"Gonggong Lu is a supervising army, and supervising the army is not on the battlefield, so it's not appropriate to write it like this, do you want to revise it again?" said the military admonition

"No, just write it like this," Wu Xiao said

"If you do it, it's better not to do it and keep doing it, and kill the eunuch's people together," left forward Che Gui got up and said

"Is there a list?" Wu Xiao asked

"This is no secret in the army, I'll list it soon," Che Gui replied

Wu Xiao nodded, and as soon as the generals sitting were combined, the list was quickly listed, and Che Gui sent it to Wu Xiao's table

Che Gui added: "Zheng Shuai actually knew for a long time and has been on guard, these people have no actual military power, and they are all idle posts for them."

Wu Xiao looked at the list and handed it to the first commander on his right hand, he took it, bowed to Wu Xiaoyi, and went out to do something.

"Carry Zheng Shuai down, and see Zheng Shuai off in front of the whole army tomorrow morning," Wu Xiao said

The two sergeants carried Zheng Gu's body down smoothly, Wu Xiao swept over everyone's faces one by one, and said: "Most of your families have moved to Mobei, Mobei is dead, in your family is ruined, Mobei is ruined, Mobei is a life of glory and wealth, a certain Emperor Longen, Mrs. Anguo's love, and Zheng Shuai's respect, I am willing to lead all the brothers to fight a bloody road, to keep Mobei safe for decades, you are willing to protect me."

Wu Xiao raised the knife of Mrs. Anguo's deceased husband, the former legendary commander of Mobei, with a sonorous and powerful sentence, and every word was loud

The generals immediately got up and knelt down, and said in unison: "I am willing to follow to the death" At this moment, Mobei ushered in a young commander, and also ushered in the beginning of the legend of the Mobei Army.

After getting the inheritance of the commander of Mobei, Wu Xiao quickly issued a series of orders, which were specific and deficient, the arrangements for each general were completely appropriate, and the affairs of the army were clear and clear, which reassured the generals.

Everyone gambled, gambled on their own future, gambled on their own family's life, at this time they have no way out, they have announced that they are completely out of the eunuch group of the court, tomorrow is a battle of life and death, if they lose, they will be destroyed, strange at this time people are fearless.

Some people are born to be commanders, born to give orders, and the army needs such people, as long as the soldiers understand the three points, whose orders are they obeyed?, what should I do? Why are I fighting? Obviously, Wu Xiao is a natural commander.

At dawn the next day, a high platform was erected outside the city of Changzhou, all the generals wore white scarves, rode horses and stood under the stage, and Zheng Shuai's body lay quietly on the wood bed above the high platform.

Several military sacrificial wine sang on the stage, Wu Xiao held the torch high, and after the military sacrificial wine was sung, he shouted: "Revenge for the marshal", the generals below echoed in unison, and then the soldiers also echoed, wave after wave, when the 50,000 army shouted in unison, the sky was shaken and the earth was defended, and the sound reached ten miles away.

Wu Xiao lit the wood bed, Zheng Gu's body crackled in the raging fire, and the morale of the Tang army reached its peak at this moment.

Gechila watched all this from a distance, and he suddenly felt a little unreal, and every Turkic general also looked solemn, because they knew that they were going to face a real bloody battle today.

Wu Xiao shouted: "The whole army is arrayed"

Under the sound of trumpets and flags, the Tang army quickly spread out outside the city of Changzhou, this is a strange formation, the infantry phalanx is composed of small rings, all the small rings form a semicircle, the arch guard is in the north of Changzhou City, and the cavalry phalanx is in the middle of this semicircle.

Wu Xiaoduan sat on the high platform, Yan Nu stood nervously behind him, and the north wall of Changzhou was full of drummers and flag soldiers.

Gechila looked at it for a while, didn't see why he came, looked left and right, and said, "Which Han military division will you bring?"

Soon the military advisor brought: "What do you have to say?" Gechira rarely took the initiative to summon him, but he was still a little excited.

"Do you know which little hairy doll is in what formation," Gechila pointed with a horsewhip outside the city.

The military advisor was speechless for a while: "Lord Hui, the lower officer has just seen this formation, but, it's just that I don't know it, and I don't see it in the military book."

Gechira looked at him, bowed her head and was silent for a while, rarely without losing her temper, just waving him away.

At the same time, the generals of Changzhou have been in place, the nine commanders from the salt gang led the reinforcement of the cavalry battalion, and the former generals of Changzhou City all brought their headquarters to participate in the battle.

It's just that the commanders strengthened the memory of the drum and flag language last night, and for this group of rough soldiers, this seems to be more difficult than letting them go into battle to kill the enemy, but at this life-and-death juncture, everyone has to cheer up and remember.

There was a passionate trumpet sound in the distance, and the Turkic army actually attacked the whole army at the beginning, without making any reservations, and it seemed that Gechila was ready to fight hard.

I saw him taking the lead, the gray-black fur waving in the wind, and the endless cavalry behind him followed, like a black wolf king, leading the wolves to attack the prey in front.
