Looking at the sun that was almost noon high in the sky, the soldiers in front were already thirsty from scolding. Even though the weather was still cold, Feng Chong still had some beads of sweat on his forehead. He became more and more irritable, so he called for his lieutenant. .
"Why has Qi Yunjun changed? We have been yelling and scolding all morning, but there is no movement on the mountain." Feng Chong asked impatiently.
The adjutant said helplessly: "It's strange, the general can't blame the brothers. You knocked on his door and shouted, and his voice was hoarse. Qi Yunjun just acted like a coward and refused to leave Ziyang Valley."
Feng Chong was anxious. General Liu in the tent had been beheaded on the spot. If he could not lead Qi Yun's army down the mountain, he might not be able to escape military law.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. When Feng Chong heard the soldiers yelling and cursing, he had an idea in his mind. He immediately took action and took off his heavy armor.
When the deputy general next to him saw it, he was shocked and stopped him: "General, no, if Qi Yun's army leaves the camp, the general will have no armor to protect himself..."
"Don't talk nonsense. We don't have armor. At most we will be injured. At worst, we will die for our country. But if we can't lure out Qi Yun's army, we will be beheaded by military law. Is it an unjust death?" Feng Chong pushed the deputy general away and took off his armor. Then he took off his inner lining and middle coat, stood up naked, picked up the horse's stall beside him, and got on the horse.
The forwards of the Jin army were getting tired from scolding when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind them. They all stopped shouting and looked back. They saw General Feng's naked upper body, showing his strong muscles. The general comes forward.
"Damn it, Qi Yun kids, you can't beat me... Why, now you don't even have the time to talk back?" Feng Chongzong stepped forward and shouted angrily at the silent Ziyang Valley.
Feng Chong was already a fierce general, and his angry curses were like thunder, breaking the silence and entering the Ziyang Valley. After waiting for a moment, the only response to Feng Chong was the long echo and the slight sound of the frightened creatures in the valley running around.
Seeing this, Feng Chong became even more anxious. He got off his horse, took a few steps forward, and continued to curse: "Qiyun turtles, your Grandpa Feng Chong has taken off his armor. Those who have the courage to come out of the valley to fight, you Grandpa Feng." I will fight with bare hands, but if you still don’t dare, Grandpa, I won’t use weapons, how about bare hands?”
The yelling and cursing is still there, the echo is lingering...
After burning the incense, Feng Chong saw that he couldn't respond to his scolding. He gasped angrily, rolled his eyes, and loudly asked the adjutant behind him to give instructions. When he saw the other's surprised and questioning eyes, he frowned and cursed: "I know What do you want to ask? Stop talking nonsense and go and deliver the order."
By the time the tea was served, hundreds of Jin troops were all shirtless, without armor or horses, holding only sabers, and lined up facing Ziyang Valley, shouting in unison.
"Child Qi Yun, you are so ridiculous, so timid, why don't you go home to nurse..."
The five thousand cavalry behind hundreds of Jin troops yelled and laughed loudly in unison. Feng Chong even sat shirtless in front of the formation, asked his adjutant to set up a fire for him, fetched the rations he carried with him, and grilled meat...
The smoke curls straight into the sky, and gradually enters the Ziyang Valley as the cold wind of early spring blows.
When I arrived at the Yanbei Army camp in the valley, I saw the appearance of General Qi Yun. At this moment, the commanders of the armies, who had just returned from Yanbei Army, down to the soldiers, cooks, and horse officers, all had their mouths twitching and their chests rising and falling rapidly. Their inverted eyebrows could tell that the anger in the hearts of these Qi Yun soldiers could no longer be suppressed.
Pei Shuai was sitting in the tent, looking at Gao Deng who closed his eyes and said nothing. He was so angry that he wanted to get up, but was pushed down by someone beside him. He signaled with his eyes to Prince Ning, who was also sitting next to Gao Deng. Your Highness.
Unlike Gao Deng, who was as calm as a mountain, Qi Tao frowned. Although he was sitting upright, he was like the Yanbei generals under the tent. Hearing the faint shouts and curses coming from the tent, the anger in his eyes grew stronger.
Just when Qi Tao was trying hard to control his anger and not be provoked, he heard the shouting and cursing had changed. When Qi Tao heard clearly what the Jin army was scolding, he couldn't help but start shouting...
"Qi Shao, Qi Shao, usurpers, the cavalry of the Jin army, trampling through the river..." The shouts and curses continued to be heard in the tent, and the generals also rose up with His Highness Prince Ning, glaring at the new leader who remained unmoved. Gao Deng, the commander-in-chief of the northern territory.
Everyone in the tent was furious. Even Lao Chen, who was accompanying Gordon behind him, also showed anger. Although he tried his best to suppress the anger on his face, his rising and falling chest still showed his state of mind.
Qi Tao raised his sword eyebrows and looked at Gao Deng, seeing that he was still silent.
, the anger in his heart became even stronger... Hearing bursts of laughter coming from outside the valley, he finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"Pah!" Slapping his palm on the military case, Qi Tao finally said angrily: "Yan Qingchuan!"
"The end is here!" Yan Qingchuan had already become angry, but because of the imperial edict in Gao Deng's hand, otherwise he would have killed him down the mountain.
At this time, Qi Tao's eyes were capable of killing people. The anger in his eyes was burning, and he almost roared and ordered: "I order you to come out of the valley to fight. I will behead these Jin thieves and let them shut up their nonsense mouths." .”
"I have received the order, who among you is willing to lead the army to fight with Yan?" Yan Qingchuan clasped his fists and spoke to the generals in the tent. Before he finished speaking, he saw the commanders of all the armies in the tent stood up at the same time and shouted in unison.
"I will go there eventually."
Yan Qingchuan was overjoyed. He glanced at him and saw that the man in front was Commander Pei, the commander-in-chief of the right army. He immediately stepped forward and raised his arms and said, "Please ask General Pei to lead our troops and horses and follow Yan to kill the enemy!"
"Okay! I will go with Commander Yan for a while, just in time to relieve the anger in someone's heart." Pei Shuai lifted up his cloak and pressed his saber. Just as he was about to send out some troops, at this moment, Gordon's calm voice came.
"Everyone, wait a minute!"
The moment the voice was heard, all the generals turned their heads and looked at Gao Deng, their eyes full of confusion. What's more, they were already igniting the anger in their hearts towards Gao Deng.
"Gordon, what do you mean?"
"I think you want to commit treason..."
...
When the generals were scolding him, Commander Pei glanced at His Highness Prince Ning beside him and saw that he was suppressing his anger. He understood Prince Ning's thoughts and immediately yelled at Gao Deng angrily: "You idiot... if you are cowardly?" Fight, I ordered all my troops and horses to retreat..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Gao Deng had stood up from the table and had a bright yellow scroll in his hand. It was the imperial edict delivered by Yan Qingchuan who came first when he wanted to kill Bao Lei...
The moment they saw the imperial edict, everyone in the tent knelt down and kowtowed. They only heard the sound of Gao Deng shaking his fat body and walking quickly. He raised his head slightly and saw that he had already walked to King Ning's side. He held up his hands before speaking.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude. If I don't ask for the imperial edict, it may be difficult for Your Highness and the generals to calm down and listen to Gao Mou's words..." Supporting Prince Ning, Gao Deng hurriedly spoke to the generals. .
"Everyone, please get up quickly and listen to what Gao has to say."
With the imperial edict, no one dared to scold Gao Deng anymore. After all, when Yan Qingchuan delivered the edict, the generals had already heard it clearly. In any case, this idiot was now justified and took the position of commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory.
Seeing that everyone remained silent, Gao Deng said calmly: "Think about it, everyone, Ziyang Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the main entrance to Qiyun North. If there is a mistake, our army will have no choice but to retreat to Yanbei City. ...Yes or no?"
"So what, no matter how much the main force of our army has not been lost, even if Ziyang Valley is lost, Yanbei City is high and thick, and the Jin bandits are only good at charging. If they want to attack the city, they will not use the strength of the whole country to attack us. Even Yanbei Wengcheng cannot be entered."
"What General Li said is true..." All the generals agreed upon hearing this. Even Ning Wang Qitao also agreed with this statement, but because of the imperial edict, he stood aside and did not speak.
When Gao Deng saw these generals who usually boasted that they were well versed in the art of war, he couldn't help but secretly admire Wan Jun. He really didn't know how he had managed to secure Yanbei so impregnably for so many years, preventing the Jin army from taking a single step.
Holding back the curse words in his heart, Gao Deng took the time to speak: "As you just said, the Jin army is good at charge combat. Their cavalry is better than eighteen years ago. If our army relies on Gu Qi, Road, with it consumed, Gao Mou asserted that the Jin army will retreat in less than a month..."
As he spoke, he walked slowly to the center of the generals. He looked around the generals and continued to speak: "If our army uses short attacks to attack the long ones and gets out of the valley, how should we deal with the enemy's ambush?"
When Qi Tao heard this, the anger in his eyes subsided slightly. He had been aroused by the Jin army's insults before and lost his mind. Now that he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
"Our army has been defeated three times in a row. If we fail to get out of Ziyang Valley again, the enemy army will take advantage of the opportunity to break through the valley and advance towards Yanbei. By then, we will be outnumbered and we will be outnumbered. We will still be able to return home if we die for our country. But you can I once thought that the people in Yanbei City
how? How are the people of Qiyun? "
Although Gao Deng's tone was slow, his words were like the sound of a drum, deafening and enlightening, awakening everyone present from the rage and madness. The Yanbei generals led by Commander Pei were all speechless and no longer as aggressive as before. The anger in Yan Qingchuan's tiger eyes disappeared and he stood still.
Ning Wang Qi Tao showed a look of astonishment, thought for a moment, stepped forward quickly, held Gao Deng's arm and said: "Hearing General Gao Tong's words, Qi Tao suddenly opened his eyes. Fortunately, he did not attack rashly, otherwise he would have fallen into a catastrophe... "
All the generals had long been convinced by Gao Deng's words, and no one spoke. They just couldn't let go of their dignity and bowed their heads to this idiot general whom they despised most in the past. But this time when they saw that His Highness Prince Ning was already convinced, they all felt ashamed. , apologize to Gordon.
Even Commander Pei, who was the most resentful before, had secretly wondered whether His Majesty was an old fool, but now he had to admire His Majesty's vision in selecting people. Unexpectedly, Gao Deng, the most coward among the generals in Yanbei, became the leader. Yanbei Army's life-saving straw.
After calming down, Commander Pei couldn't help but look at Gao Deng and saw the light of wisdom flashing in his small eyes. His heart trembled. Thinking about it carefully, how could this idiot suddenly see through the plan of the Jin thief? Like this, all these years, he has been pretending to be stupid...
"Unexpectedly, he took charge of the Northern Territory and became the commander-in-chief of Yanbei... So, behind him is..." Commander Pei immediately understood the mystery and hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects.
"The last general, Commander Pei, failed to detect the plot of the Jin thief, and almost harmed His Highness. Please forgive me, Your Highness, and please forgive me, Commander-in-Chief." Commander Pei gestured to kneel down, but Qi Tao had already sensed his intentions. With a busy look, Qi Tao finally understood his father's good intentions and admired his father's accuracy in judging people, which he could not match.
Gao Deng naturally understood His Highness's intentions, and hurriedly held Pei Shuai's arm and said, "General Pei, please don't do this, or you will offend Gao."
The generals saw that Commander Pei was already convinced, and King Ning was also supporting Gao Deng with his actions. There was no reason to be dissatisfied. Although these generals were still thinking about Wan Jun in their hearts, things had changed now and they could only surrender.
"Everyone, please get up quickly. The most important thing right now is for you all to work together to help His Royal Highness Prince Ning retreat from the enemy." Gordon hurriedly opened his mouth to rouse everyone, knowing that the generals did not sincerely worship him, but were just worried about the imperial edict. With the prince beside him, his thoughts turned to His Highness Prince Ning.
If we can defeat the enemy this time, it will be King Ning's contribution. I think it will please His Majesty, and it will also alleviate some of the grudges that Prince Ning had because of that boy.
King Ning heard Gao Deng's words and understood his good intentions, but he was not actually in charge of the army and needed to rely on Gao Deng to retreat from the enemy.
Thinking of this, he spoke bluntly: "General Gao is the commander-in-chief personally appointed by the emperor. I am here to follow the army and listen to you. General Gao does not have to give in... It's just that these Jin thieves are always making noise outside the valley." , you have to give some lessons.”
After finishing speaking, he saw that Gao Deng had straightened up his fat waist and felt confident.
"Your Highness, don't worry, Gao has a plan to defeat the enemy!"
