The sun has set, and the mountains, water, and houses are gradually shrouded in dim light. $.) There was a monotonous whistle sound from nowhere. It was a simple whistle made of grass and leaves. There was no melody and the voice was very small. The hoarse voice was inexplicably sad.

Yao Erniu has eaten dinner, and the wheat cake is covered with cold water; he is sitting on the thatch under a tree, his knees propped up, his hands hug his knees to keep warm... The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Ben Army in Shipo Mountain It is an unexposed ambush and requires concealment and is not allowed to burn. He looked to the north, and there was light on the edge of the sky. It was the southern Tang army camp a few miles away that lit the bonfire; it was early November, and the night was very cold, and the soldiers of the southern Tang were burning the fire to keep warm.

And Hu Ben soldiers can only survive the cold.

I heard that the Southern Tang Army has fifty thousand, and there are still twenty miles away to the east! The Southern Tang Army on the north bank of the Suoxi River was already very close, and even the flames could be seen. It is estimated that they will fight early tomorrow morning.

Several people around were trembling with the cold. Some were already wrapped in quilts, but everyone was silent; someone in the distance was talking quietly, and from time to time there was a horse making a sneezing sound. Hidden in the mountains and forests, the main reason is that you can't ignite and raise smoke, but the sound is not easy to spread.

At this moment, Yao Erniu took out an embroidered purse from his arms and looked at it in the dim light.

The scene of the day he left Tokyo appeared in his mind. After walking through a corner of the alley, a girl suddenly jumped out, stuffing this thing in his hand and turning around; the moment she wiped her shoulders and ran away, Yao Erniu saw that her ears were red... That lady was his cousin, the daughter brought by the fleeing aunt.

Perhaps my cousin thinks Yao Erniu can make money very much. In the difficult years, Yao Erniu's military salary reward is indeed very good.

Yao Erniu rubbed his purse for a while, and then remembered the old man who walked with sticks and sticks. Every day he went to the gate of the city to collect the vegetables that the farmers carried into the city at a low price. Then he took the old lady who sold vegetables at the gate, and other people. ...

He hopes that he won't die in tomorrow's battle, and hopes that he can win the battle and score the money in Jiangning City.

……

The Chinese Army Camp at the Quarry Wharf. Lanterns are hung on the wall to make the classical buildings appear more oriental and elegant, and the contrast between light and dark makes the environment slightly thicker.

Li Chuyun said sternly: "Just like Tian Ji's horse racing, our army uses the worst one (Gao Yanjian) to deal with the most elite forwards of the Southern Tang Army; then use the first-class sloppy army and the second-class elite Long Jiejun against the South The remaining main force of the Tang Jun. This is the way to secure the victory, to be invincible first... However, a complete victory is impossible. The Nantang forward will break through the defense to Dangtu."

"The main commander of the forward of the Southern Tang Army is Lin Renzhao, and the main commander is Huangfu Jixun despite the number of people on the side of Suoxihe." Guo Shao muttered.

Li Chuyun fell silent after listening. There were other generals in the lobby, and everyone did not speak. The atmosphere is a bit solemn, and people inevitably and sometimes face such difficult choices.

Guo Shao paced around in the middle of the lobby. There were a lot of people present, but they were very quiet. When he spoke, he seemed to whisper: "On the eve of this war, everyone has their own expectations and dreams. Soldiers want to make contributions, they want to appreciate their merits..."

He looked back around, with the light of lanterns in his eyes, "And I want to end the civil war as soon as possible; we still have a lot to do, but life is too short. I hope that one day the land of Kyushu will end the chaos, poverty, Weakness, restoration of the glory of Han and Tang Dynasties, every place name with a deep foundation can be circulated in the world, everyone can raise their heads and be able to live a life of food and clothing for their families, this country should have dignity."

Guo Shao was a bit moved when he said that, there is no false sense of acting, "We will bleed and die, but all this is worth it!"

His expression and voice were very provocative. Dong Zunzhuo was relatively young and was completely moved. He looked at Guo Shao with admiration. Even Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao were a little moved.

Dong Zunzuo said: "Uncle just give the order, regardless of the end of the war, you will never question your military order!"

Guo Shao's expression became firm, and he turned his head and said decisively to Li Chuyun: "General Li has to use more than 10,000 troops to stand alone against Huangfu Jixun's 50,000 army! If you find it hard to resist the quarry, let the navy generals Disembark!"

The generals present are very familiar with Guo Shao, and instinctively trust Guo Shao's decision. Without a word, Li Chuyun clasped his fist and said: "Take Ling!"

Guo Shao said again: "Shi Yanchao, Dong Zunzuo and I led the first, second, and third armies of the Tiger Cardinal Army to leave Shipo Mountain tomorrow morning and reinforce Gao Yanjian to the southeast, first defeating Lin Renzhao.

When dispatching, the movement should be large, light fireworks in Shipo Mountain; and flags should be erected and suspected soldiers should be arranged. Huangfu Jixun of Suoxihe discovered that there was an ambush in Shipo Mountain. He might be frightened, and he didn't dare to act rashly... It's best to delay the stay. We can make a time difference and turn around to deal with Huangfu Jixun. "

A group of generals clasped their fists in response.

After Guo Shao deployed his tactics, he and the generals in front of the palace rushed to Shipo Mountain overnight. Guo Shao was usually cautious, but at some point, he was still very courageous... he was not courageous and did not dare to launch a mutiny last year.

Ten thousand horses were deployed in the entire forest of Shipo Mountain, but at night they couldn't be seen at all, and several mountains were completely dark. Guo Shao and others went along a road in the forest to the third army, and inspected the situation of the soldiers along the road.

It's really bitter in this weather, and you are not allowed to burn. The soldiers piled up hay in the tent, then wrapped them with blankets and quilts, and drilled in the hay, so that they could barely keep out the cold. When Guo Shao walked to a camp, he drew near by moonlight and saw some soldiers trembling with cold.

"Meeting Marshal Guo." A burly man said.

Guo Shao recognized people: "You are Zhang Jiankui."

"Yes, it is the end general." Zhang Jiankui hurriedly said, "The end general strictly obeyed the Chinese military order, prohibiting soldiers from lighting and making noise. Look at this, the Southern Tang Army doesn't know that we are here. These are several low mountains. , No scouts came nearby."

Guo Shaozan said: "You are doing well." He turned around and said to Dong Zunzuo: "There is still no fire tonight, just in case Lin Renzhao knows the ambush here overnight, let him guess our possible intentions. Lin Renzhao This guy seems to be very good at using soldiers."

Dong Zun said: "Uncle's words are extremely true."

Guo Shao said: "Tomorrow we can start cooking and let everyone have a hot meal before the war."

Several people said a few words, and Guo Shao followed Zhang Jiankui to see the soldiers in the camp. Some people were already asleep, and those who did not fall asleep stretched out their heads, and when they saw it was the commander, they got up and paid respect.

"Dashuai Guo came to see the soldiers." Zhang Jiankui's voice said.

At this time, many people gathered around. Guo Shao said: "The weather is cold, no need to get up, you go to the bed."

After that, I saw a soldier standing behind, still wrapped in a quilt. Guo Shao noticed him and asked: "Can I get past the night?"

The soldier hesitated and didn't say a complete sentence.

"I want to ask you something!" Zhang Jiankui said irritably, "Yao Erniu, it's you again. No one else is wrapped in a quilt. You alone are the most precious! Can you freeze to death in a while?"

When Yao Erniu heard this, he quickly threw the quilt on the ground, hesitatingly said: "Director Zhang... Tell me if I can't speak, stop talking..."

Zhang Jiankui said annoyed: "His|mother| you have a wooden fish bump, I told you not to talk too much, not that you didn't answer!"

Guo Shao hurriedly stopped Zhang Jiankui: "Stop scolding. It's not on the battlefield, let's just come and see, don't have to be so strict."

He walked over, picked up the quilt on the ground with his own hands, wrapped it around Yao Erniu, and said, "It's cold, who is raised by parents and mothers who are not afraid of the cold?" All the soldiers around looked sideways.

Yao Erniu looked very nervous there, still not knowing how to speak.

Guo Shao patted Yao Erniu on the shoulder and said: "As long as you don't violate military discipline and don't get out of the battlefield. Don't talk about seeing me wrapped in a quilt, you just scold me in person, and I can't find a reason to punish you... Which military discipline says that you are not allowed to wrap your quilt when you see people at night?"

The soldiers laughed.

Guo Shao recalled all the soldiers and soldiers: "You and others have followed me in the South and North for several years. There are countless battles, big and small, and I know who I am. Whoever has the merits, who has the past, regardless of relatives or personal affair, treats everyone equally! No matter who it is , You will be rewarded if you do meritorious service, and you will be a commander if you do great merit!"

He said to the middle and low-level military commanders around him: "Brothers went into battle to bleed for the sake of the world and sacrifice for others. As long as you are not scorning the military law, you must be kind to the soldiers."

Guo Shao leaves here after saying so and takes a look at another place. All the troops respectfully said "Guo Dashuai" farewell.

……

In the Jiannan Army camp at this time, Gao Yanjian was also inspiring the soldiers of the Shu army. The commanders above were all in the Chinese army. The surrounding fire was blazing, and many soldiers were here.

Gao Yanjian said loudly: "Shu will return to the court sooner or later, and now the Kingdom of Shu no longer exists, but the people of Shu and our fathers and villagers have not been slaughtered and looted in their hometowns. Everyone is doing well. Restoring in this way is the best result.

Gao is also a general of Shu, and his brothers are not only from Shu, but also descendants of China. The current court wants to dominate the world, it is to end the separatist war between the same clan and the same clan! We are not working for others, but for the people of the same race in the whole world. "

People listened in silence. Maybe many people didn't care about this, but at least no one would hate the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, nor reject their minds. As Gao Yanjian said, the Central Plains and Shu are not aliens after all, unless the people in power are too cruel|violent, the people of Shu have never felt that they are uncomfortable.

Gao Yanjian continued: "After we Shu people join the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, tomorrow is the first battle. Brothers will definitely come with blood. Don't make the court look down on us Shu people, don't let the Southern Tang people look down on us.

In the future, the position of Gao and you in the court, and the reputation of the Jiannan Army in the eyes of the people of the world, depend on this battle! Ben will fight side by side with his brothers tomorrow, with the determination to win, and if he fails, he will be benevolent, and he will never take a step back! For those who fled the battle, the six relatives did not admit that they would not be amnesty, and Xiu blames him for disregarding the feelings of his fellow countrymen! "
