Only God is left

Renshen, the emperor sent Daliang; November, Bingxu, to Zhenhuai Army, it was five drums in the night, Jihuai; Dinghai, to the west of Haozhou City.

There is a beach eighteen miles northeast of Haozhou, on which the Tang people fenced, surrounded by water and self-reinforcing, saying that Zhou soldiers must not cross it.Wuzi, the emperor attacked it himself, and ordered hundreds of warriors from Kangbao descendants of the inner palace to wade through the water on camels.Li Chongjin broke through Nanguan City in Haozhou.Guisi, the emperor attacked Haozhou himself, and Wang Shenqi pulled out its water village.The Tang people stationed hundreds of warships in the north of the city, and planted giant trees in the Huai River to limit Zhou soldiers.The emperor ordered the water army to attack it, pulled out its trees, burned more than [-] warships, beheaded more than [-] ranks, and attacked and pulled out its sheep and horses. The city was terrified.On the night of Bingshen, Guo Tingwei, the training envoy of the Haozhou Regiment of the Tang Dynasty, made a statement: "The minister's family is in the south of the Yangtze River. If he surrenders suddenly, he may be a descendant of the Tang Dynasty. Please send an envoy to Jinling to report his orders before surrendering." The emperor promised.

When the soldiers arrived at the city of Sizhou, he was ordered to attack the southern section of the fortress first, which was facing the strong defense of the main city. He could break it even if he fought hard, but the casualties were too heavy.After spending a whole morning in the city, he didn't make much progress. When he was looking upstairs and thinking, he suddenly saw a group of people and horses with vehicles coming from the west. .He went down to the watchtower and asked his men to go to inquire, and they came back after a while, reporting that Liu Shouzhong, the bodyguard from the direction of Haozhou, was going to send back to the camp with the army and supplies.After thinking for a while, he asked the clerk for pen and ink, bit the tip of the pen, moistened it, and hurriedly wrote a few lines, stamped it and handed it to the soldiers: "Look for Liu Shouzhong, General Liu, and tell him that I will lend him some cars of fuel."

The guard took the warrant and asked for the number. He wiped his mouth on his sleeve and answered casually: "How many cars are there?"

Hearing this, the young man looked embarrassed and hesitant, and he glared and urged: "Go quickly! I'll ask you if I'm late!"

It took me a while to go back and forth, but after noon, things were still brought in. After checking, there were 23 cars, and it was estimated that they were almost empty——Liu Shouzhong had dealt with him before, and he didn’t dare to deny his identity at this time. Do as he wants.He looked satisfied, and immediately asked people to make rockets on the spot, and found seven or eight broken tortoise carts, stuffed them with dry grass and dead branches, covered them with leather, and poured oil on them. They all withdrew; the defenders on the city did not know why they planned to put down the fire bombs and burn the cars, and the raging flames shot up into the sky in an instant. Zhou Jun took advantage of the situation and fired a rocket volley. The choking smell made people unable to open their eyes, and the black smoke covered half of the sky in the southern city with teeth and claws, and the vision was unclear. Bows and arrows at the top of the city were useless. Door.

By now, everyone who often accompanied him probably had a feeling: he is also a human being, but how can the emperor's energy be inexhaustible? Could it be that there is really a golden dragon protecting the law?

After several days of continuous marching, the emperor moved into the city tower as soon as he broke through the Acropolis of Sizhou, and urged the generals to attack the city overnight, without any signs of fatigue.The emperor had a golden dragon to protect him, but he didn't. He showed that he didn't want to fight for success for a while. Sizhou City couldn't be broken in one night, and he would really break it if he stayed up for another night.The emperor also thought it was a good deal to exchange a city gate for a night of sleep, so he allowed him to exchange value and leave the city that night.

As soon as he returned to the camp, he heard a noise of people, and he saw Gao Huaide coming straight towards him with three or four riders behind him full of anger. When he saw him, he shook off a note and asked, "Is there something missing when I go down to the camp to check the luggage?" Twenty-odd truckloads of oil, someone from the evacuation department handed in this, I am afraid that some traitors will make trouble, so I came here to ask General Zhao to have a look, I wonder if it is true?"

He glanced at it and nodded, "It's Zhao's handwriting."

No longer looking at him, Gao Huaide turned his head and asked behind him: "Who let this thing go?"

Liu Shouzhong bowed his head and answered in a low voice, Gao Huaide glared and said sharply: "You are so generous! You are the big shopkeeper of the grocery store! Give it away from the owner! I will issue an IOU tomorrow to lend you your head, do you want to borrow it?"

Most of those who have never worked with Gao Huaide in the army have never seen him get angry, but they can also imagine that someone who is so young can stand firmly as the high-level commander of the cavalry of the imperial army, and can come and go freely among the two horse troops guarding the front of the palace. It will be as simple as a modest gentleman with a quiet face.At this time, Gao Huaide was angry in public, clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai.Everyone on Zhao Kuangyin's side couldn't hold back their faces, so he hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "General Gao, this matter is also difficult for Zhao, so we can't blame it all on General Liu."

Gao Huaide turned back and sneered: "'This incident' happened in the guards, no one can blame General Zhao!"

Luo Yanhuan, the commander of the scattered troops here, was impatient, and interjected: "General Gao, at that time, the military situation was so hot that there was no room to think too much. Besides, isn't the thing sent back to Sizhou is also for the use of the city?"

Gao Huaide raised his whip, pointed at his face, and shouted angrily: "Long mouth! Who will allow you to speak!——You are like a fire in the army, and you are like a fire in one place! Everyone else is just sitting around and eating!"

Luo Yanhuan's face was livid due to choking, but he couldn't make another sound: Although he is old, Gao Huaide's rank is higher than him now, not to mention reprimanding him face to face, even if he gets angry, he will give him a whip in the face.

Turning to Zhao Kuangyin again, Gao Huaide's eyes were as cold as frost, and his words were like sharp knives: "Sir, you speak casually, Zhao Taibao, your subordinates are really talented!"

The atmosphere was tense and getting more and more tense. At any time, Zhao Kuangyin gave in first, and smoothed things over in the middle: "Zhao is not strict with his subordinates. If you offend him, please ask General Gao Haihan." After finishing speaking, he shouted to Luo Yanhuan in a deep voice: "Don't make an apology to General Gao yet. !"

Luo Yanhuan was very reluctant, but seeing that Zhao Kuangyin had already made his attitude clear, he could only bow his head and bow his hands. Gao Huaide just nodded his head without showing any joy or anger. Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a moment: "Zhao asked General Gao to borrow a word."

Screening everyone away and turning into the inner tent, Gao Huaide slapped the note on the table with a slap and his voice was still full of anger: "Privately transferred military funds, you still stamped the IOU? Don't you know that military supplies have to go through the imperial camp first? I was the one who intercepted it, what do you want to say when this thing is passed in front of the eyes of the superiors?"

Zhao Kuangyin stared at him intently for a while, picked up the note from the table and put it on the lamp to burn, then looked up with a smile on his face: "You have passed so many notes to me, and I will also pass one in return, see you It’s not easy on one side.”

Gao Huaide was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that he had been tricked, and then became even more angry: "Are you still busy?"

"This matter is more important," he said, "That matter, I always wanted to explain it to you in person, but I couldn't find you all the time. Could it be that you just came here, so I'll apologize to you face to face."

Zhao Kuangyin reached out to reach his shoulder, Gao Huaide felt as if he was burned, twisted his body and waved his arm away, stared at him and gritted his teeth: "You think I'm angry with you because of a woman? What do you think of me? ? What do you think of yourself?"

"Anyway, I owe you a debt, I don't know what you've heard, but you know me," Zhao Kuangyin still didn't let go, and took a step forward to grab his shoulders and drag him to the front: "I won't Explain, you can do whatever you like, but don't do it?"

Gao Huaide suddenly raised his head and furrowed his brows, he was extremely excited: "What's wrong with 'this'? How old are you this year? Thirty is it? No one is 'that' after thirty! We have to move on! He raised his voice a little higher: "—let go and move on! Like 'this'!"

After speaking, the two were silent for a while, but Zhao Kuangyin was still very calm when he spoke: "Do you want to leave?"

Gao Huaide turned his face away: "We will continue to communicate, but we will not communicate in private anymore."

After another moment of silence, he slowly asked, "Why?"

Still not looking at him: "Do you know my age next year? 32!"

After being stunned for a while, Zhao Kuangyin smiled again: "You are only one year older than me."

"Don't you understand! This kind of thing doesn't matter when you're in your 20s, but it's unreasonable after [-]!" Throwing off Zhao Kuangyin's hand on his shoulder, his tone became serious: "When you were young, others said you were romantic, Older people will only say disgusting!"

Zhao Kuangyin lowered his head slightly when he heard the words, and when he raised it up again, his smile was even wider: "You think I'm with you just to go to bed?"

Gao Huaide didn't speak, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him closer: "I told you earlier that I'm not good at that, and I did it to you because it was you—"

Life is too short, but too long to always taste the madness we all know.That fire burns away all pretense, and then you don't know what you're going to say, things you thought you'd never say in your life.

He looked into those golden eyes, and said firmly, "—because I love you."

The tightly grasped hand no longer struggled, and after a moment of stiffness, it trembled violently. The bugle sounded outside the tent, and Gao Huaide broke away from him with all his strength, took a few steps back, took a deep look at him, turned around and left .

Pushing open the door, the light from outside came in, Gao Huaide stepped out and stopped suddenly, turned his head and said loudly: "Since General Zhao is a happy person, and my surname Gao is not a troublesome person, just according to what General Zhao said, the oil is as good as it is." The same forty cartloads of beans will be sent to Xiying tomorrow, and the matter will be written off."

The muscles at the corners of Zhao Kuangyin's mouth twitched, saying that he wanted to be slashed or cut at will, but he was unambiguously cut: Although the canal has been opened, there is still a certain amount of military resources, and he has had a tense life for more than half a month after being hit like this.
