On this day, for the first time, the one-eyed old man discovered that Ye Yinfeng got up later than himself. When he saw Ye Yinfeng's rickety figure, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Ye Yinfeng held his waist with his right hand and put on the belt on his face.
He looked at the other party with a bit of sullenness, and a touch of shame appeared on his face. The one-eyed old man's laughter startled the rising sun from the east, and his unbridled laughter dispersed the dark clouds in the sky. Ye Yin
Although the anger on Feng's face was getting stronger and stronger, he couldn't do anything to him.
"Young man, don't you know how to exercise restraint? It's not about life and death." The one-eyed old man had already packed his luggage, and the smile on his face had not dissipated. He joked to Ye Yinfeng. "Go, go, go,
Why don't you stay cool?" Ye Yinfeng naturally didn't look good on the other party, and he scolded the one-eyed old man. After saying that, he moved his limbs towards the rising sun, and there was a ray of blue light visible to the naked eye.
emerged from his body.
Ye Yinfeng faced the sun and stretched his limbs. He clearly felt that the true energy in his body seemed to have increased again. The true energy flowing around him began to merge into a gurgling stream. The true energy flowed around him.
Although there is only a trace of it circulating in the meridians all over the body, Ye Yinfeng is already very satisfied. The amount of true energy transferred into his body from Fan Bayi is a little more. Although these true essences are insignificant to Fan Bayi,
It's true, but for Ye Yinfeng, this is a miracle, and he is looking forward to the next miracle happening.
At this time, Aunt Fan was like a housewife. She only wore a coarse cloth and a little makeup on her face, but she still couldn't conceal her charming figure and charming aura. She would have breakfast
Already ready, the one-eyed old man sat down unceremoniously, but Ye Yinfeng was a little shy, and was finally forced to sit down by Aunt Fan. The three of them only focused on eating without any conversation. This atmosphere was
The first time, and maybe the last time.
Huangfuhui led several soldiers to the unknown wine shop. Ye Yinfeng gently mounted a horse. He looked back at the wine shop for several moments. The one-eyed old man had already left, and only this woman in coarse cloth was leaning against him.
She looked at herself quietly at the door frame, with a bit of shyness and a blush on her face. After this farewell, she didn't know when she would return. Maybe they would never meet again, or this farewell might be...
Goodbye forever.
The scorching sun is glaring, the wind is cutting the skin, and there is a depressing atmosphere between heaven and earth. The people and horses in the Tang camp in Cai Zhen are noisy. A gloomy atmosphere of an impending war spreads. At this time, Ye Yinfeng and Huangfu Huigao
Standing on the observation platform in the military camp, the observation platform is one foot high and can overlook the entire Caizhen Military Camp. Looking at the Tang Army training in the military camp, although they are well-trained and exude power and courage, Ye Yin
The wind always feels like something is missing.
"A thousand days of raising an army is spent in one moment. The Zhou army is about to go south, but our Tang army is used to a peaceful life. Look at these soldiers, although they are brave and brave, they are not brave enough on the battlefield. They meet on a narrow road.
The brave wins. This courage refers to courage, which requires the courage to risk death and survive. Compared with the Zhou army, the Tang army lacked this courage." Ye Yinfeng said what he was thinking.
.
"Wenyuan, you participated in the war between the Zhou Army and the Northern Han Dynasty. You know the Zhou Army, so I asked you to help. No matter what, we must win this battle, otherwise the fertile land of Huainan will be lost to the Great Zhou Army.
If Zhou and Huainan are lost, our Tang Dynasty will be in danger. The hardships of this battle are unpredictable. I am determined to die and defend every inch of our Tang Dynasty. Dingyuan is our homeland, and the city of Shouzhou must be preserved."
Huangfu Hui said loudly with bright eyes.
"The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have been arrogant for a long time. Although they are more fierce than brave, we need a victory so that we can truly improve our morale." Ye Yinfeng's eyes went north through the scorching sunshine, and he looked towards Huangfuhui.
Said. At the same time, the figure of Ling Tianyun appeared in his mind. The head-on confrontation was about to begin. The confrontation between him and Ling Tianyun would also officially begin. The battle between Zhou and Tang Dynasty was about to break out.
Zhengyang Town, at this time, Zhengyang Town has become a walled city. The Zhou army used extremely fast fortification efficiency to turn a small town into a military walled city. To the east of Zhengyang Walled City is Yingshui, Yingshui
Water flows from Xuzhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Huaihe River, and the two rivers meet in the west of Shouzhou. Zhengyang Town is on the bank of the intersection of the two rivers, and the surging river water rushes down. Standing on the Zhengyang sentry tower, you can clearly see the two rivers.
The magnificent scene of the rushing water when the rivers meet.
Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun were in the Zhou military camp in Zhengyang. The Dazhou military camp was being built, and there was a busy scene of building a city. The two of them were walking among the densely packed tents. Next to the military camp were tall trees.
The lush dense forest, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty cutting down trees and building a camp, presented a strong and indestructible camp in front of their eyes. The towering banner of the Zhou Dynasty fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.
"The move of our army camp here can be said to be a geographical advantage. Shouzhou is on the other side of the Huaihe River. When the pontoon bridge is built, the Zhou army will send troops to Shouzhou, and they will be able to break through Shouzhou City in a few days. The fertile land of Huainan will be included as
Our territory is large. General Zhang needs to supervise the progress of the pontoon bridge as soon as possible. It will be delayed by one day, and the fighter plane will be delayed by one day. Although His Majesty is in the imperial capital, he pays close attention to the progress of our war." Zhao Kuangyin said to Zhang Yongde behind him with a solemn expression.
"Please rest assured, General Zhao. With the morale of our Zhou Dynasty at this time, we will definitely build the pontoon bridge tomorrow and launch the attack tomorrow. Now that the morale of our Zhou Dynasty officers is as high as a rainbow, Shouzhou will be easily captured." There was no expression on Zhang Yongde's face.
Regardless of any signs of nervousness, he said easily. "According to reports from spies, the Southern Tang Dynasty has sent reinforcements. It is estimated that they will arrive at Zijin Mountain in two or three days. The leader of the troops is Li Jingda, the emperor of Southern Tang Dynasty's younger brother." Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly.
He looked at the secret report in his hand, and then said to Ling Tianyun and Zhang Yongde.
"For example, if Li and Tang's army crosses the Huaihe River from Zijin Mountain and goes straight to Xuzhou, wouldn't it be dangerous? Zhengyang is attacked on both sides and has no way to retreat. The only way is to capture Shouzhou City first." Ling Tianyun still knows about military strategies.
, he immediately thought of a possibility and couldn't help but blurt out. "Yes, there is a possibility. If Li Jingda leads the army, he will definitely take a series of military actions. So we don't have much time. General Zhang ordered us to go down and build the pontoon bridge all night
, The pontoon bridge must be built early tomorrow morning." Zhao Kuangyin's face became a little solemn, and he immediately ordered to Zhang Yongde.
Zhang Yongde's face became solemn, and he left after accepting the order. Ling Tianyun followed Zhao Kuangyin's gaze and fell on the group of migrant workers making the pontoon. As soon as the Zhou army arrived in Zhengyang Town, they summoned hundreds of local people
In addition to the soldiers who built fortifications, most of the people were requisitioned. Zhengyang Town originally belonged to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and when the Great Monday came, Zhengyang Town had already surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
With a "pop", there was a sound of a whip hitting the human body, followed by a painful wail. Ling Tianyun saw a Dazhou soldier raising a long whip and lashing an ordinary citizen. The long whip was like rain.
It fell on the common people, but the man couldn't help wailing. Seeing this strange situation, he couldn't help but burst into anger. He swept his body, jumped behind the soldier, and grabbed
The soldier's arm was caught.
"Grandma, I told you to be lazy, let's see how I beat you to death today." The soldier yelled and cursed, but he didn't expect that someone suddenly grabbed his arm, making it impossible to bring down his whip. "Who doesn't?
Those open-minded guys who dare to interfere with my business are simply tired of living." The soldier turned his head and cursed angrily. He was still angry at first, but when he saw Ling Tianyun's face clearly, he was stunned.
.
"It turns out to be General Ling. I didn't know he was the general. General, please forgive me." The soldier threw away the whip in his hand and knelt on the ground in fear. Ling Tianyun looked at the soldier with an expressionless face.
At a glance, his eyes fell on the common man who was beaten. He saw that this common man was in ragged clothes and his body was already covered in blood. He was squatting on the ground and shivering, and his eyes were full of sorrow and sorrow.
Then, Ling Tianyun's eyes fell on several other people carrying rough logs. Their eyes were indifferent and dull. It seemed that they were used to this, or maybe they were numb to their own experiences. Looking at
This group of people with numb expressions on their faces made Ling Tianyun suddenly feel sad for no reason. These people were the most innocent. The purpose of the war was to let this group of people live and work in peace and contentment. However, he did not expect that this group of people would become
The earliest casualty of war.
Ling Tianyun looked coldly at the soldier who was kneeling on the ground. He knew that what the soldier did was not wrong. Now in order to speed up the construction of the pontoon bridge, the military order had been issued and no one could neglect it. He did not punish the soldier.
He stopped all this and walked away silently. These migrant workers who were recruited had no other choice but to work hard. Perhaps when the war is over, they should have a life of their own.
"Third brother, those in charge of the army cannot be benevolent as women. In every war, there will be sacrifices, but some people sacrifice in different ways. If the pontoon bridge is not completed on time, what awaits us will be a fierce attack by the Southern Tang Army, and
These migrant workers are the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they must have a grudge against me, the Zhou Dynasty. Although our Zhou army did something wrong last time, in order to avoid riots, they could only take expedient measures." Zhao Kuangyin patted Ling Tianyun on the shoulder.
, and then said comfortingly.
Ling Tianyun then remembered that the Zhou army went all the way south and captured several states in the Southern Tang Dynasty north of the Huaihe River. Although the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty welcomed the arrival of the Zhou army, due to the improper handling of some Zhou troops, some soldiers looted arbitrarily.
Treating the people like nothing led to the White Armor Army incident. Although the incident was effectively suppressed, the bad habits of the Zhou Army left a particularly bad impression in Ling Tianyun's mind.
"Whether they are the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty or the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are all the people of the Chinese Han people in China. Why are we fighting? The reason is to unify the world and make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. But I don't understand.
Yes, wars often make innocent civilians die first. Is this the imperial hegemony we have been pursuing? Second brother, I really don’t understand. Look at those ragged civilians, what have they done wrong?
?" Ling Tianyun asked Zhao Kuangyin sadly and angrily.
"Third brother, you are too kind-hearted. No one will die in a war. You must know that this is only temporary. The soldiers charge into the battle and the people provide supplies. This is all natural. The sacrifice at this moment can bring peace to the world. This is
What's wrong? As the king of a country, does the elder brother not have these people in his heart? In fact, he feels more miserable than us." Zhao Kuangyin patted Ling Tianyun's shoulders and explained.
"Second brother, whatever you say makes sense, but I can't say anything. Also, there may be people lurking in the camp tonight, and we will arrange for patrol officers to be on guard." Ling Tianyun helplessly laughed at himself, and then he turned his eyes and saw a few people.
His eyes flickered. "Naturally, the Southern Tang Dynasty will not be willing to let us build the pontoon bridge. They will definitely send people to disturb the camp. Brother, I have already thought of this." Zhao Kuangyin said to Ling Tianyun confidently.
"There will inevitably be a fierce battle tonight. I'm going to rest first." Ling Tianyun nodded and said to Zhao Kuangyin. For such a trivial matter, he naturally knew that Zhao Kuangyin had already made arrangements. But what he had in mind was another matter.
, he felt that the contest between him and Ye Yinfeng was beginning to begin, and the contest between them would begin tonight. "Will you come?" He murmured in a voice that only he could hear.
