The weather is getting warmer. Under the clear sky, several yellow birds were wearing black feathers and combing their newly built nests. Tender green grass grew in the sunny place. The river has melted safely and the water in the spring flood has risen.

The dead leaves that have not yet been lost in winter float on the turquoise water surface, flowing south quickly.

With the arrival of spring, the Hebei Battle began again. The Sui army mobilized 100,000 elite troops to station in Zhuo County and Boling County, like two teeth with only pliers, north-west, staring at the river with covetous eyes.

In the county, another 40,000 troops, led by the chief general Xu Shiji, set off from Pujin in hundreds of large ships and arrived in Liyang City, preparing to launch an attack on Hebei from the south.

The Sui Dynasty had only 20 soldiers in the Hedong area, and the Hebei Battle mobilized 140,000 troops, almost a huge army that was swaying.

In mid-February, Yang Yuanqing arrived at the Sui Army camp in Zhuo County under the escort of three thousand cavalry. This time his general changed slightly. He personally served as the chief general of the Northern Army and appointed Li Jing as the Sima of the Northern Army and Pei Xingyan as the

Deputy General, while Qin Qiong was transferred to Boling County as the commander of the Western Army, and Luo Shixin as the deputy general. This battle was extraordinary and needed to win with stability. Relatively speaking, Qin Qiong's calmness made him feel more at ease.

The Northern Army Army is located on the south bank of Juma River in the southern part of Zhuojun. There are 70,000 troops. They set up a camp that stretches for nearly ten miles. The military tents in the camp are neat, and the soldiers and horses are on their own. In the middle of the camp, there is a wide area.

In the nearly five miles of training ground, there will be troops training here regardless of day or night.

Yang Yuanqing rode a horse and walked slowly through the next horse path. He looked at Yang Sien and the Qianmodao recruits led by Yang Sien from afar. This was the group of recruits recruits recruits recruited last year, mainly from the 100,000 troops.

Out, each person is tall and strong. According to the standards of the Modao soldier, his height cannot be less than six feet and five. He must lift a 100-pound stone lock for five consecutive times, and he must be able to carry a 100-pound stone lock for three miles. The conditions are very good.

Only by being strict can one select people from nearly a hundred people.

This made the Modao soldiers reach 6,000, and together with 5,000 heavy cavalry, it became the most elite army of the Sui army.

The shouting sounded like thunder on the school ground. When Yang Sien saw the coach coming, he shouted, and suddenly waved the sword to Yang Yuanqing. Thousands of soldiers also yelled with him, and at the same time, slashed the sword to Yang Yuanqing, with a spectacular momentum. Yang Yuanqing smiled

He waved to them and turned around to ask Li Jing: "Li Sima thinks that if he uses five thousand heavy armored cavalry to fight against six thousand Modao Army, who is more likely to win?"

Li Jing and Pei Xingyan defended the Turks in Dingxiang County some time ago, but did not participate in the Youzhou Battle. After the Sui Dynasty Turks signed a settlement agreement, Yang Yuanqing transferred them back, leaving only two thousand troops in Dingxiang County, this time he was against Dou Jiande.

In the battle, Li Jing served as the Sima of the General March, and Pei Xingyan became the deputy general of Yang Yuanqing.

Li Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I don't know. If the Modao heavy armored infantry can withstand the impact of the heavy armored cavalry, then it should be the heavy armored infantry.

The advantage, if you can't bear it, then the heavy armored cavalry can defeat the Modao infantry."

"I think Sima Li's idea is very interesting!"

Pei Xingyan next to him smiled and said, "It is best to let the two armies compete. Whoever is stronger and who is weaker, then don't you understand? Manager, can you arrange it?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled without saying a word and asked Pei Xingyan, "General Pei is very confident in his martial arts. Who do you think has higher martial arts skills than Luo Shixin?"

"Of course I'm a little bit higher." Pei Xingyan replied confidently.

"But I also asked Luo Shixin, and he also said confidently that his martial arts skills are slightly higher than yours, what should I do?"

"Then let's compare the field, see who is higher and who is lower!"

At this time, Li Jing had already understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, and smiled and patted Pei Xingyan on the shoulder and explained: "The general manager means that if the heavy armored cavalry and heavy armored infantry do not compete, the soldiers will feel that they have two strongest troops.

If the competition is over, there are only ones left. The winner is proud, but the loser is deeply hit. It is better to maintain a mystery, so that both armies feel that they are the strongest, giving the soldiers double hopes, General Pei and Luo

The same is true for the general.”

Yang Yuanqing hehe—laughing, “Li Sima knows my heart!”

They spoke and walked, and soon arrived at the Central Army's tent. Yang Yuanqing immediately ordered: "I order all the generals and above to come to the tent to concentrate. I have something to say!"

....

The Sui army camp was located on the south bank of Juma River, about fifty miles away from Hejian County. At this time, in Wen'an County, Hejian County, a scout cavalry with more than a hundred people was slowly walking on a mountain road with thick shade.

"Uncle Cheng Shi, has my father really owed you five hundred yuan in money for hanging wine?"

In front of the team, the 17-year-old young player Xiao Yannian looked confused, and he felt a little unbelievable. His father never owed any favors, but the serious appearance of Uncle Cheng Shi beside him forced him to believe it a little.

Since Cheng Yaojin was beaten to the last time, his injuries have gradually healed. He was bored in the army. Yang Yuanqing gave him a task to help him take Xiao Yannian to become familiar with the actual combat. Xiao Yannian even though he was with his father Yuwen.

Chengdu has learned real skills, but he has no practical experience. Although Cheng Yaojin is relatively sloppy, he has rich experience, especially good at saving lives. This is very important to Xiao Yannian. Yang Yuanqing does not want Xiao Yannian to die on the battlefield.

.

These days, Cheng Yaojin led Xiao Yannian to serve as a scout in Hejian County and taught him a lot of things. Xiao Yannian was born into a general and was very young. He spent many years in strict and closed training. His father Yuwen Chengdu was also a stern and stern person.

He was a very serious person, which made Xiao Yannian very simple in his mind. He believed Cheng Yaojin's words and admired him very much.

However, Xiao Yannian was a little unbelievable when he said that his father actually owed him five hundred dollars. Cheng Yaojin smiled slightly, "I just talked about this matter casually, but I didn't mean to ask you for money. Don't get me wrong.

”

Xiao Yannian nodded silently, and asked curiously for a moment, "My father said that he only owed the love of the late emperor and the general manager in his life, and others did not owe it. How could he owe Uncle Shi five hundred yuan to hang money? I don't understand, Shi

Uncle, tell me, if this is the case, I will definitely give you back to Daddy."

At this time, a soldier leaned forward and blinked and smiled, "General Xiao, don't listen to him talking nonsense. He is cheating on you!"

Cheng Yaojin slapped the soldiers away with his palm and cursed with a smile: "Get out, go ahead, be careful that I will cut you and put you in the wine."

Everyone laughed, and then Cheng Yaojin said to Xiao Yannian proudly: "You know Yang Wei! That big fat man."

Xiao Yannian nodded, "I have seen him, riding a camel, which is unique."

"It's him, this kid is called a desperate man. When he was young, he was a playboy in the capital. He caused trouble all day long. It was probably in the second year of Daye. Once, he and I were drinking in a restaurant in Luoyang, but your father led his troops to patrol the streets.

Come on, your father was praised as the best general in the world by the emperor. However, Yang Wei was dissatisfied and ran out of the restaurant to challenge him. As a result, your father kicked the wine truck at the door of the restaurant and was crushed.

There were dozens of jars of wine, your father left, and in the end I paid the money from the wine shop.”

Xiao Yannian frowned slightly, "That's it, General Yang Wei owes you the money, it has nothing to do with my father! And dozens of jars of wine are not worth five hundred yuan."

"This... your father's phoenix winged gilded cliff sweep accidentally injured the restaurant clerk and interrupted his arm. I had to pay another 500 yuan in medical expenses."

Although Xiao Yannian was simple in his mind, he was extremely smart. He asked in confusion: "Didn't Cheng Shi's uncle say yesterday that Renshou had been admitted to the second place in the martial arts examination in the fourth year of Renshou, but was beaten by someone, so he left the sad place in Chang'an and never again

When I returned to Chang'an and Luoyang, why did Daye appear on the streets of Luoyang again in the second year?”

"Maybe... I remembered the time wrong, haha! It's too long, I won't mention it anymore! I won't mention it anymore!"

But Xiao Yannian understood, and he smiled sly: "Uncle Shi is coaxing me to play!"

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, reached out and put his hand on Xiao Yannian's shoulder and patted him, "I just want you to invite me to have a drink. You are just a child, how can you really want your five hundred yuan to hang out? I'll make you play with it.

, Your father and I only met in Renshou for four years, and competed with him. Damn, I only persisted for twenty rounds and lost. It's so embarrassing to say."

"But my father said that except for the general manager, he never had a three-way general."

Everyone burst into laughter, and at this moment, the famous scout rushed from a distance and shouted, "There is an enemy army ahead, with a total of five thousand people, and is coming towards us, but there are no more

Three hundred steps.”

Cheng Yaojin's face changed, Laxiao Yannian, "Mu and I retreat!"

Xiao Yannian said anxiously: "But Uncle Shi, we are scouts..."

"Don't talk nonsense, save your life first and then be a scout."

Cheng Yuanjin Sama ran wildly towards the road to turn back, Xiao Yannian had no choice but to follow him - to run away. In fact, according to his idea, the scout should hide, observe the situation of the enemy, and then find a way to capture two prisoners.

The enemy fled to escape, but it was not like the Sui army.

——After running for more than ten miles, everyone stopped slowly, Cheng Yaojin then said to Xiao Yannian: “You must understand, the enemy is only three hundred steps away from us, and you cannot risk hiding at this time, so you will run away first.

Long distance, and then think about spy on intelligence. At any time, saving your life is the most important thing, followed by the task. Do you remember it?"

A veteran next to him added, "General Xiao, General Cheng is right. When he is a scout, the important task is not to be caught by the enemy, otherwise the enemy's intelligence will not be obtained, and we will leak the military planes ourselves."

"The same is true on the battlefield. First of all, you must save your life in order to serve the country. Moreover, if you have no brothers, if you die happily, how can you tell the manager to explain to your father? How can your mother survive in the future?" Cheng

Yao Jin's face became extremely serious.

Xiao Yannian nodded silently, "Uncle Cheng Shi, I remember it!"

Cheng Yaojin patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Since you call me - Uncle Shengshi, I will naturally not let you scream in vain."

Cheng Yaojin took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it down the hillside from a distance. The silver swayed in the sun and was particularly dazzling.

"Uncle Shi, what are you doing?" Xiao Yannian asked in confusion.
