General, your beauty is gone

Wei Xiaohun returned to the room dejectedly, and fell heavily into the chair.There was nothing wrong with Xiao Tianlie's side, but after this incident, he was worried that Xiao Tianlie would treat him passively.Can't help holding his head and hammering hard.

"General, Mr. Yan, please see me..."

A notification came from outside the door, which stopped his uncontrolled behavior. He straightened his hair, straightened his clothes, stood up and said, "Master Yan, please come in!"

Yan Liangju pushed the door open and entered, looking up.

Wei Xiaohun tugged at the neckline guiltily, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Yan doesn't know what's going on..." Suddenly he felt that it was too direct, so he stretched out his hand to compare. "Haha... Sit down first and then talk, please sit inside..."

Yan Liang bowed his hands and walked in, Wei Xiaohun sat down with him and poured tea by the way.

"General Wei... Let me ask the next question."

Wei Xiaohun smiled. "Please speak up if you have something to say!"

"Looking at the actions of the general today, do you want to start a war with Marquis Ji?"

Wei Xiaohun asked for tea, then nodded, "Indeed... that's what I meant."

Yan Liangju frowned. "Didn't the general want the people to be peaceful and happy? Why do you want to fight? If Marquis Ji invades, we'll just fight back!"

Wei Xiaohun sighed, and turned to Yan Liangju with sharp eyes. "One moment and another moment. Now that the battle situation has been decided, Marquis Ji will definitely attack me, Gu Ye, and I swear he will not stop!"

"Why? They are the ones who are ashamed to break the covenant!"

"Covenant?!" Wei Xiaohun snorted coldly.

"That's just an illusion. They never wanted to form an alliance with me. Their purpose is to deceive us and get rid of us, so that people can pretend to be envoys to enter the customs smoothly!"

Yan Liangju was shocked, and yelled, "How can Ji dog do this!"

Wei Xiaohun drank tea slowly, and continued: "When this general fled, he wounded the son of Marquis Ji and burned his big tent. His... life or death is unknown. If he is safe, he will definitely retaliate. If he dies Falling... the consequences are even more unimaginable, Jihou and the whole country will definitely attack aggressively in grief, and will not give up if they don't regret it!"

Yan Liangju nodded slowly.

"So... our army must pre-emptively strike. We must not only strengthen our defenses, but also prepare for a surprise attack."

"So... the next official will understand!"

Wei Xiaohun turned his head, stared at him suddenly and said, "In case...what happens, you have to lead the people in the city to prepare for retreat. Except for food, other items in the city should be moved as much as possible, but don't panic the people."

Yan Liang raised his fist. "Your officer understands, the general rest assured!"

"Master Yan is doing things, the general is naturally relieved. It's just..."

"What orders does the general have?"

"Do you know He Zhongjie's network in the border town?"

"This... the lower officials didn't pay attention, but they can check it out!"

Wei Xiaohun stood up and bowed deeply to him. "Thank you, General Yan, for your understanding of righteousness!"

"This... how does this make..."

Yan Liangju lifted Wei Zhenhun up, and the two held hands tightly.

……

On the second day, Wei Xiaohun met with the scribes again, and the six essays written overnight were before his eyes.From Wei Xiaohun's point of view, implication and depth are important, but what he wants more is to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and spread by word of mouth.Therefore, he chose an article that is both incisive and profound, and also appealing to both refined and popular tastes.The name of the inscription is... Li Xuanqing.Wei Xiaohun smiled slightly, feeling that the name was very good.

"Which one is... Li Xuanqing?" Wei Xiaohun looked up.

"Your Majesty, Li Xuanqing, I have met the general!"

Wei Xiaohun heard the sound and saw a scholar in green clothes stepped forward, raised his head, his facial features were regular, elegant and refined, he looked a bit like He Zhongjie, Wei Xiaohun felt a little blocked in his heart.

However, he still opened his mouth and said: "Mr.'s proclamation is in line with the general's intentions. I don't know if you...do you intend to stay in the army?"

He bowed slowly and said: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders!"

Wei Xiaohun nodded, and ordered someone to take Li Xuanqing down to resettle him.The rest will each be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver.A hundred taels of silver is a lot for ordinary people, but as a potential follow-up advertising fee, Wei Xiaohun thinks it is worth the money.

Masonry craftsmen, cast ironworkers, painters, etc. are all left behind. The construction projects are complicated and must be completed in a short period of time. There should be more masonry craftsmen than few.The blacksmith and the painter teamed up to transform the weapons described by Wei Xiaohun. The time was tight and the task was big, and even one of them was indispensable.

Wei Xiaohun inspected their work, and went to guide the drills of the sergeants.Xin thought that it was time to read out the call to action and show the soldiers their determination to fight.

The preparations for the battle have been done step by step, but there is still one thing that upsets Wei Xiaohun, and that is——Xiao Tianlie!

Wei Xiaohun sent someone to inquire, and learned that Xiao Tianlie didn't even eat!Is this bastard trying to get revenge on him by starving himself?How stupid.It's a fool to use this trick on people who don't care about themselves!

But... Wei Xiaohun was restless and couldn't sit still.He couldn't deceive himself that he didn't care, but he didn't want to give in easily.

He came to the city tower to blow the cold wind, and suddenly realized that his original self was far away.Even for Tang Jin, that kind of jealousy, that kind of love and hatred like lightning and thunder.

From the beginning to the end, there was only that person beside him, and he seemed to hear his deep and melodious voice like a Qiang flute: I am happy with the king, and my heart is full, I only wish to beat the drums together, and live and die with the king.

Wei Xiaohun closed his eyes fiercely, but... just... I really can't deserve it...

Wei Xiaohun was really cold-hearted, he devoted himself to preparing for the battle, and never went to visit Xiao Tianlie, he knew...some things still need to be figured out by the eldest brother, besides, Mr. Yan will never look at him for trouble.

On the third day, Wei Xiaohun ordered the whole army to assemble, and officially announced the crusade.

He stood on the tall city tower, and Li Xuanqing, the newly appointed soldier beside him, read out the call to action.

Li Xuanqing said in a loud voice: "There is a Marquis of Ji in the north who lives near the grass. He is not gentle in nature. He lives with livestock and hides his shame with animal skins. It is not for my generation. I flourished in the Tang Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, inherited from Yao and Shun, and ruled the country with benevolence. , Convince the public with virtue, and be the admiration of all countries; the benevolent emperor is gentle with the people, and he is on the verge of a poor war, and he leaves Qiongzhi to the wolf; Going forward, there is a general of Zhennan, who is famous for his loyalty in the world, and swears to follow him to the death; however, Ji Hou's tiger and wolf's heart is not dead. The hearts of the world are chilling. However, the sky will live up to the king's way, and the gods will assassinate the wolf Lord and pay him back. He will be sad for the blame of the deceased Lord; now a man is raising his arms, supporting the banners and armour, and sweeping the march; Drive off the barbarians to avenge this hatred!"

After reading the call to action, all the soldiers in the city were solemn and silent.

Looking at the darkness below the city, Wei Xiaohun slowly opened his mouth and said: "This proclamation is my Wei Zhenhun's heart to avenge my shame. I, Gu Ye, exchanged my sincerity and kindness for Jihou's betrayal today. If the country is strong, it is bound to have no scruples and invade our land on a large scale, causing the lives of the people to suffer. Therefore..."

He paused, staring and scanning slowly. "Today I will announce this call to action, not only for the shame of today, but also for the danger of the future. I hope that all the soldiers will remember my heart, unite as one, and help me drive out the Tartars together, and give the tigers and wolves a head-on blow. I hope everyone I will keep in mind...you are all the soldiers of Gu Ye, the people of Gu Ye rely on you, and you are also the heroes of Gu Ye who have left their names in history!"

"Unite as one, drive out the Tartars, and give the tigers and wolves a head-on blow..."

All the soldiers shouted in unison, and saw tens of thousands raised their arms and shouted, and the excited voice continued for a long time...

Wei Xiaohun set a time limit of four days, and ordered the repair of the city wall and the improvement of weapons to be completed.He himself led the army to step up offensive and defensive drills.

Four days later, a group of cavalry quietly left the city and headed for the Cangjia Mountains between the two countries.

Wei Xiaohun stood on the tower of the outer city, waiting...

Suddenly, he raised the simple windmill in his hand high to test the wind direction and speed, and saw the windmill whirring in the direction of Jihou, Wei Xiaohun slowly showed a satisfied smile.

Soon, the provocative cavalry sent to the border of Jihou to light fire and beat drums appeared on the distant mountains.Sure enough, General Jihou thought he was tough, and even led a large group of people to chase after him.

Wei Xiaohun raised the command flag and ordered to fight.At this time, the hanging door of the outer city was slowly lowered.

A row of archers stood on the city tower, a team of five, with an iron-plated catapult set up in the middle of each team.

The Jingqi who fled back quickly rushed back, and rushed up the hanging door in a rush of dust and smoke, and the hanging door was pulled shut.

When Jihou's army came to the city, they were already in vain.However, their cavalry and shooting made the soldiers of Gu Ye most terrified. They saw the sharpshooters shoot arrows towards the city with their bows drawn.

Suddenly, a burst of strong light dazzled their eyes. They raised their hands to cover their eyes, and saw that silver plates stood up on the city wall, covering the archers.Then the silver plates moved, turning up one by one, revealing gaps one after another.

Just when they couldn't figure out what it was, a rain of arrows flew down from the gap, instantly throwing them all off their feet.

General Jihou had never seen such weapons before, so he was naturally quite frightened, he stopped fighting and shouted to retreat.Seeing that they were about to escape in a panic, Wei Xiaohun waved the command flag, and saw that the trebuchet was equipped with oiled grass-covered stones, and when it was fired, it was thrown out immediately. in front of the enemy.

In an instant, flames erupted everywhere, and several fireballs hit them mercilessly.The horses were frightened and roared loudly, and the Jihou cavalry was thrown off their horses, causing heavy casualties.

At this moment, Wei Xiaohun slowly raised his bow and arrow, and shot towards the Lord Marquis Ji, the arrow was so powerful that it hit his horse's hoof, and the horse of the chief general was also frightened, but he had the courage to subdue the horse .

He bent down and drew the arrow, and after a closer look, it was indeed a letter of war.Without saying a word, he yelled "Retreat!"

Wei Xiaohun watched them flee in a hurry, he knew that today was just a small trial, and it was showing initial results.But when the real Jihou army came, it would not be so easy to deal with.

General Najihou fled away, picked up the letter of war and read the content carefully.The book said: Duo Duoyan came to fight before he died, and if he died, call He Zhongjie!The arrogance in his tone made him grit his teeth, and he couldn't help but rein in his horse and look back.

I saw a silver general flag erected on the city wall, but on it was the word "Wei" as red as blood.He couldn't help being stunned, it turns out that this general is Wei Zhenhun who is famous all over the world!

Wei Xiaohun was about to go down the tower when he saw a man wearing thick clothes standing not far behind him supported by others, he didn't know how long he had been here.

His heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to reprimand the servant: "How can you bring the general out!"

"Little soul, well done!"

Xiao Tianlie's words shocked him, he didn't dare to look at him, so he quickly turned around and said: "You see, now without you, big brother... I can still lead the army to fight, and... I want to win the battle!"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, did not dare to meet his eyes, but hurriedly walked past Xiao Tianlie...

The author has something to say: that silver plate is the shutter principle!
