Standing on the edge of the mountain stream, Long Chen looked at the gurgling stream below and said, "This is where I fell into the mountain stream."
"When I woke up and crawled back here, there were only corpses everywhere."
Wu Jian's face was cold and he said in a calm tone: "If you turn over the turf now, you can still see the bones of our brothers."
Hundreds of thousands of Long family troops died in battle here, and no one was there to bury them. The overgrown weeds submerged the corpses.
After the war horses have finished eating the grass, you can still see the white bones that are not completely rotten, and you can also dig out the rusty swords and guns from the soil.
When he first arrived yesterday, Wu Jian looked at the bones and swords and cried for a long time.
"Tomorrow, we will use the blood of Xixia to pay homage to the 100,000 dead brothers!"
Long Chen looked at the mountain stream for a long time, then turned around and returned to the Chinese army's tent.
Sitting down in the tent, Wu Jian took the first seat on the left, and the others took their seats in turn.
"Tomorrow we will have a decisive battle with Shi Le. Let's start dividing our troops and deploy them now."
Everyone sat up straight and waited for Long Chen's general.
"Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun lead the infantry in formation in the middle!"
"Dugu Jiali led the archer battalion to form in front of the infantry, and Han Ziping led the archer cavalry to stand by on both wings."
"Zhang Qian and Zhao Ying are leading the Lancers on standby on both wings!"
"Gongsun Linglong's Thunder and Fire Legion is at the front! Just follow my command!"
"Old Wu is in command at the general station. When I am away, you will give the orders!"
It is impossible for Long Chen to command the general station all the time. He will definitely break into the enemy's formation to take revenge. At that time, Wu Jian will take over the army.
The generals each took their orders, and Long Chen asked them to go out and prepare. Only Wu Jian stayed.
"Major General, are you going to fight a tough battle tomorrow?"
According to Long Chen's formation just now, he was facing the enemy head-on, without any tricks or tricks.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, there is no need for any tricks tomorrow. I want to kill a person to show my dead brothers and let my father and brother see that our Long family army is back again!"
Wu Jian held the handle of the knife, nodded and said: "Okay, let's fight head-on! Kill with all your heart!"
Wu Jian's voice was a little trembling. He never thought that there would be a day of revenge.
When he left Bailang Mountain, Wu Jian was like a bereaved dog, living in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's purification room.
He thought he could only die with hatred in the cleansing room, but he didn't expect to meet Long Chen.
Nor did he expect that Long Chen could rebuild a Long family army and return to Bailang Mountain in just a few years.
This time, Wu Jian must take revenge and use the blood of Xixia people to honor the souls of the dead heroes.
"Where is Tuzhi?"
Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle, and the barbarian cavalry has not arrived yet, a little later than Long Chen expected.
Wu Jian said: "Scouts have been sent to the northwest to explore."
Just as he was talking, a scout came in and reported: "Sir, the barbarian cavalry has arrived!"
Long Chen immediately left the Chinese army's tent and rode north for more than ten miles, when he saw cavalry pouring over the mountains and plains.
In the middle, a large flag with a wolf's head is raised high. Under the flag is a man wearing a mink fur and a golden wolf crown. He is the barbarian Chanyu Tuzhi.
Tu Zhi ran over with the tribal leader. When he got there, he immediately dismounted and paid homage: "Greetings to King Wu!"
Tu Zhi and the tribal leaders all bowed down and bowed down, looking very respectful.
Back then, during Long Chen's Northern Expedition, he killed Yelu Hong, greatly defeating the barbarians and making them frightened.
Tu Zhi was even supported by Long Chen, and they were in awe of Long Chen.
Now, Long Chen has captured most of Xixia, like a god of war descending from the sky, and the barbarians fear Long Chen even more.
"No gift!"
Long Chen comforted him with a whip on his horse.
Everyone in Tuzhi raised their heads and bowed again: "Thank you, King Wu!"
Long Chen then got off the horse and gave Tu Zhi a bear hug: "Long time no see, brother!"
Long Chen's attitude was a little cold, and Tu Zhi was feeling uneasy. Now with a bear hug, Tu Zhi finally felt at ease.
"It has been several years since we parted ways on the grassland. King Wu defeated powerful enemies along the way and shocked the world. I admire you so much!"
Tu Zhi's words are flattering, but also true.
Long Chen has been invincible in the world in recent years. The Tianxiahui that controls the world, Xixia, which has been a country for hundreds of years, and Li Chengdao are all manipulated by Long Chen.
Looking around the world, no one is Long Chen’s rival.
"You and my brothers still praise me so much, let's go have a drink."
Long Chen took Tuzhi back to the Chinese army's tent, and Tuzhi ordered the tribal leaders to collect their cavalry and station them on the spot.
After returning to the Chinese army tent and sitting down, Wu Jian brought some strong wine and some food to go with the wine.
Long Chen poured two bowls of wine and said with a smile: "Come on! Do it!"
Long Chen raised his head and drank a bowl, and Tuzhi also drank a bowl.
"Tsk, is this what my brother brewed?"
Tu Zhi likes to drink the strong liquor from Dongzhou Ministry of Industry the most. This taste is the best.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Yes, I brewed it. Are you used to drinking it, brother?"
Tu Zhi smiled and said: "It's not just a habit. I love drinking the strong wine brewed by my brother. But this wine is so expensive to sell in our grassland."
"It used to be Tianxiahui, but now it's Jujintang. We only have ten sheep in exchange for a bowl of wine."
Long Chen was a little surprised and asked: "So expensive?"
Tu Zhi nodded very seriously: "It's so expensive!"
Long Chen sighed: "This old guy makes so much money!"
Long Chen had never cared about the price of liquor. Only after listening to Tu Zhi did he realize that Shen Wanjin had earned so much.
"Old Wu"
Wu Jian walked in and bowed: "Sir."
Long Chen said: "Take out all our wine and distribute it to the warriors on the grassland. Let's drink tonight!"
The barbarian cavalry had probably never even smelled the strong liquor that even Tuzhi, the Chanyu, thought was valuable.
Just use this precious liquor to win over people's hearts and let them fight to the death tomorrow.
Wu Jian immediately asked the soldiers to share the wine. It was almost the first time for the barbarian cavalry to drink such good wine. Everyone drank to their heart's content and shouted in unison that "long live King Wu".
Zhang Qian and others were originally worried about the barbarian cavalry causing trouble, but when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "They were bribed with a jar of wine."
Dugu Jiali looked at the cavalry all over the mountains and plains, and said: "Shi Le has almost 400,000 soldiers and horses, and our Long family army has 200,000. Plus the barbarian cavalry, we also have an advantage in numbers."
Bai Tingting said: "This Tu Zhi has a conscience and knows how to repay Tu Zhi."
Wu Chuchu sneered and said: "I don't think it's about gratitude, it's about fear."
Zhang Qian agreed with Wu Chuchu's point of view and said: "I think he is also afraid of your reputation. If he doesn't come, when you free up your hands, he will definitely be killed and replaced by a Shanyu."
There are only interests between people, and there is no such thing as friendship and gratitude.
When interests are consistent, enemies can also shake hands and make peace.
When interests conflict, siblings will turn against each other.
Tu Zhi is not a grateful person, he is just afraid of Long Chen.
"They drink so much, they won't be able to get up tomorrow, right?"
Wu Xiangyun was a little worried that these barbarian cavalry were drunk and would cause trouble.
Zhang Qian smiled and said: "Impossible, there is so much wine, I'm just tipsy at most."
Dugu Jiali said: "There was still a little bit of alcohol left on the second day, just enough for them to charge into battle."
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Long Chen entertained him with good wine and meat.
South of Bailang Mountain, the Xixia tent.
Xiao Liang entered Shi Le's tent and said with an ugly face: "Your Majesty, the barbarian cavalry has arrived, at least 300,000!"
Shi Le and Kong Ji were planning tomorrow's decisive battle. They had just talked about the barbarian cavalry.
Shi Le had always believed that the barbarian cavalry would participate in this decisive battle, but he was lucky and hoped that the barbarian cavalry would not be able to catch up.
Kong Ji has the same view. As long as the direction of Yuncheng is guarded and the barbarian cavalry is not allowed to pass, the matter will be settled.
After tomorrow's decisive battle and the Long family's army is defeated, even if the barbarian cavalry comes, there is nothing to fear.
But fearing that something might happen, the barbarian cavalry arrived anyway.
