unlucky ghost

But the Holy Majesty is the Holy Majesty after all, even if he was so panicked that he wanted to find his ancestors, he couldn't lose his majesty on the face.

In the court hall, all the ministers murmured to each other, this time the barbarians came here unkindly, they have retreated steadily in the past, but now they are so invincible, I am afraid that they have got the advice of an expert, and they are afraid to death, once the barbarians invade the Central Plains, their own Xiaoyao Nest could not be kept, so they all asked to send 15 heavy troops, and sent the two generals Pei and Yi to go out.

Is the Holy Majesty really arrogant? With a wave of his dragon robe, "Thinking of my Darui dynasty, the past half a hundred years of An Guo Ding Bang, the country has grown in power, the country's prestige has become stronger, and it is close to other countries. Whoever does not come to flatter and flatter, has never been invaded by foreigners. Li'er, dear friends, don't panic, he is a mere Bohan country, why does he need 15 heavy troops and two generals, in my opinion, just send Yilin alone with [-] troops to go."

All the ministers below were in an uproar, nodding their heads, shaking their heads, but they didn't know that the Holy One had plans for the Holy One.

His Majesty's underestimation of the enemy was just to show off to a group of indifferent courtiers below, in order to stabilize the hearts of the courtiers and the people, but he secretly sent Pei Sheng to follow him.

Although the imperial court had sent heavy troops, the barbarians were not afraid at all. As soon as the snow melted, the two armies fought at the foot of the Yin Mountain, and the fight was in full swing.

Although the land in Bohan Kingdom is not fertile and the water is not sweet, it produces a huge strange buffalo, commonly known as "mad cow". Being trained and beaten, he is not afraid of pain.When it came to the killing field, the Bohan people protected their vital parts with a thick layer of iron armor. Unless they could cut through the iron armor with a single blow, it would be extremely difficult to break through.

This battle was fought really hard, the two armies fought against each other without giving a single cent, and after three days and three nights of continuous fighting, it was General Yi and General Pei who lost the wind, because the rain was coming fast at that time, the loss outweighed the gain if it continued like this , So he ordered to retreat across the river temporarily, take a rest and make plans again, and at the same time sent someone to report to the Holy Majesty.

Yu Bu, Tang Cheng's group ran away at that time.

The situation at that time was beyond consideration, and if you run too slowly, your head will move, so a group of people got an order, just ran with their heads buried in the hills, and hid until the rain stopped, only to find that they had separated from the army and became confused. deserted.

The imperial court has always been strict in military law, especially for deserters.

At least they will be dealt with by military law, and at worst they will be executed. Most of these people still have their wives and children at home. Even if they want to be deserters, they don’t have the guts. Wait for the enemy soldiers to withdraw, and then go down the mountain to find the national army.

It's just that this class lasted for five months, and the top of the mountain would be smoothed out by this group of deserters.

Seeing that the midsummer is coming to an end, Tan Zishi picked up the branches and stretched his head to look down the mountain. In just a few months, Suicheng at the foot of the mountain has already changed its appearance. , the city is bustling and dying, but no women and girls are heard crying.

Tanzi's heart skipped a beat, he was afraid that the barbarians had slaughtered the city already.

Looking at the original Tanfu in a blink of an eye, I don't know when it has been razed to the ground.

The barbarian army outside Suicheng stayed in the midsummer, picked a very cool day and marched southward in a mighty way, and they were about to cross the Yellow River.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Ma Zhi saw that the army had finally left, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's considered to be gone, I'm afraid I'm going to die of old age here."

Tang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's only been three to five months, and you're already dying of old age, why are you so impatient."

In late autumn, Tan Zishi went down the mountain with this group of people, and Tan Xi had to go down the mountain with him.

Suicheng at the foot of the mountain was not slaughtered. At this time, it was surrounded by thousands of barbarians, and not even a fly could fly out.

Ma Zhitangcheng and others squatted at the foot of the mountain and looked towards the north city gate. They saw a crowd of heads, all wearing black and gray armor, patrolling back and forth.

When Ma Zhi saw someone wearing iron armor, he felt very kind, no matter if he was an enemy or a friend, he would shout when he jumped up.

Not far ahead, two young soldiers were resting under an old locust tree. They turned their heads to look at the sound.

Seeing this, Ma Zhi was startled.

Seeing these two little soldiers with beards and beards and round eyes, they looked very different from the Central Plains people, so they knew they were enemy soldiers. Fortunately, Tang Cheng had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he hurriedly pulled his braids and dragged them back.

A group of people squatted peacefully until it was dark, before the moon was up, they ran to the south in a hurry.Hidden along the way and finally crossed the Yellow River.

There's a lot of commotion on this side of the river.

In wars in the past, General Yi was most particular about ostentation. Every place where military camps were stationed had to be cleaned up first, and the tents were also carefully set up. They had to face south and be neat and tidy.Now the army hastily withdrew and retreated to the south bank, and there were barbarian troops approaching from the north, and they were about to cross the river.

Ma Zhi, Tang Cheng and his group went ashore like dead water ghosts, lying on the ground coughing and spitting water.

Tangcheng took Tanzi to cross the river, especially strenuously. Seeing that Tanzi was still holding on to his belt tightly after landing on the shore, he patted his face, "Hey, boy, you are still grabbing after landing on the shore. What are you doing with my belt, is it possible that you want to untie my pants?"

Tan Zishi turned his face away, spat out a mouthful of water, wiped his mouth, stood up with a smile.

Tanxi shook helplessly, and raised her hand to brush off the water on her body.

Ma Zhi saw that the army in this room was in chaos, so he said: "Brothers, the army is in chaos at the moment, so we can get in, hurry up and go."

Everyone got up from the ground one after another, followed Ma Zhi and mixed into the army.

Ma Zhi looked for a group of people he had known in the past, and took Tan Zi to fill the army.

On the evening of the second day, Tang Cheng took the half-worn iron armor and handed it to Tan Zishi.

Tan Zishi took it, and was very happy to wear it for a while, then picked up a bald iron halberd on the ground, and swung it at the moon a few times, so as not to cut off Tangcheng's nose.

"Brother Tang, am I considered a soldier now?"

Tang Cheng rubbed his nose happily, "Forget it...forget it..."

Tanxi shook her head helplessly, she didn't even have a military registration, it's just a waste of effort for others.

Tan Zishi ate the military rations for a few days, his face became bitter, and he cursed secretly, how can this be eaten by people.

Tang Cheng was drinking clear soup with a big bowl in his hand. Seeing that he tilted his head and didn't know what he was thinking, he raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, "Boy, what are you thinking? Why don't you eat?" Tan Zishi's chopsticks With a shake, he almost threw the small piece of meat foam on the ground, stuffed it into his mouth quickly, and said, "Brother Tang, when can I ride a horse?" As he spoke, he pointed at a horse not far away with his chopsticks to graze grass with his head bowed. old horse.

Tang Cheng took a sip of the soup and said with a smile, "Riding a horse?"

Tan Zishi nodded, "I want to be a general."

"Pfft..." Tang Cheng sprayed a mouthful of soup, covered his belly and smiled, turned his head and said to Ma Zhi: "Listen quickly, this kid said he wants to be a general."

Ma Zhi and Yu didn't wait for others to hear it, they put down their bowls and laughed.

Yu Bu wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "Boy, you are ambitious, but you don't look at where this is, you look behind you, there are [-] to [-] people who can vent their anger, not to mention those who died earlier. Yes, who didn't take his life to live, heh, he is still a general, as long as he doesn't take his life into it, he will be lucky."

Tang Cheng also patted him, and said: "Our group has been fighting with the two generals Pei and Yi for a few years. I only saw the brothers around me die, but we didn't see any of them alive to be an official. Yes, Zuo is just going out to sell his life for his wife and children at home, if one day he can return home alive, he should burn incense."

Someone laughed and said, "If you want to be a general, you have to wait until some general dies."

Everyone was worried about having no fun, so they laughed and laughed for a while.

Tan Zishi lowered his head and said nothing, he gnawed on the hard cornbread unwillingly, and looked straight at the horse.

But it is said that the barbarian army marched to the north bank of the Yellow River, but stopped and called their heels, stopped their flags and drums, and stationed there.

General Yi expected that there might be another bloody battle in the near future, so he ordered his soldiers to rally and stand guard on the south bank with swords drawn.

Unexpectedly, after half a month, the barbarian army remained still. Tens of thousands of troops were stationed on the north bank, and the river was brightly reflected by the bonfire for cooking at night. Soldiers often jumped into the water to take a bath, and the laughter spread across the river. When he came over, he actually spent so much time with the imperial court's soldiers.

It turns out that the Bohan people don't understand water skills, and the mad cows they ride are even more afraid of water. They are determined not to act rashly now, so they quietly send soldiers into the water every day to practice water skills. On the surface, they pretend to be extremely calm. Calmness, in order to attract them to cross the river, but also to bluff to scare people.

General Yi got angry when he saw it, "What a rampant barbarian, he dares to play tricks in front of your great-grandfather without fear of death. You have only tens of thousands of people, and you dare to openly provoke me. If you don't ask you to try it, I'm afraid No more."

General Pei followed behind to persuade him, "A gentleman doesn't care about villains. They are so presumptuous. I'm afraid it's just a way of aggressiveness. You must not fall into their tricks."

In the past, General Yi always followed General Pei as deputy commander, but now it was his turn to be the commander in chief. He only looked up to the sky, and he only wanted to win the battle so that he could feel proud in front of him. "Brother Pei, why are you still such a mother-in-law and not a real man? Could it be that we are still afraid of a group of barbarians?"

"This..." Pei Sheng knew that he would not listen to the persuasion, and had nothing to say.

Immediately, Yi Lin showed his military talisman, dispatched the whole army, crossed the river at night, and fought the barbarian army without waiting for a moment.

The barbarians didn't expect the court's soldiers to be so provocative, and they were on the defensive. It was no good to fight hastily. They retreated steadily, and retreated to the vicinity of Yinshan Mountain, and stationed at Jinwenguan.

Seeing that he had the upper hand, Yi Lin became complacent, and at the same time sent people back to Beijing to announce the good news, and at the same time wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Pei Sheng panicked, and hurriedly stopped the fearless man and said, "Brother Yi, the barbarians have entered the pass and occupied all the ground. You will attack with a large army, I'm afraid you won't get any good results."

If someone else said this, maybe he could still hear it, but only this person surnamed Pei couldn't hear it, so he patted the case and said: "I am the coach or you are the coach, do you want me to let you bring this soldier talisman?" ?”

Pei Sheng left the tent with a dark face.

General Yi originally planned to raise his troops to attack the pass on the second day, strike while the iron is hot, and beat the barbarians away in a fit of anger. Unexpectedly, the north wind blew up at night, and it snowed heavily all night. On the second day, the ground was covered with snow up to knee level Hundreds of old horses and disabled horses froze to death, and many seriously injured soldiers also froze to death. The barracks were full of wailing, General Yi had to stay where he was for the time being, and only made plans when the weather warmed up.

This year's luck is also bad, the snow has been falling intermittently for several months, and the snow on the ground has not been digested until the end of the year.

The Holy Majesty personally issued an imperial decree, only ordering when to drive the barbarians away and when to return to the court.

General Yilu knelt in the snow and shivered from the cold, gritted his teeth and took the imperial decree, scolding his father and mother in his heart, and could only say: "Thank you, my lord, for your great respect, and I will never fail to honor your grace."

The imperial court sent troops twice to bring food, grass and winter clothes, and the tens of thousands of troops barely survived the long winter.
