Five years of martial virtue and three years of innovation.

Taiyuan County, Hedong.

One day in February, the wind and rain are dull, the winter snow has just begun to melt, and the soil on the ground is muddy.

There was drizzling drizzle in the sky, and the air that was breathing into the tip of the nose was still very cold. At present, Li Chen, the general of the East Army of Li Tanghe, looked at the vast marsh ahead, as if waiting for something.

The Daze in front of you is Zhaoyuqi, located at the junction of Taiyuan County and Xihe County, and it is also the dividing line between Zhao and Tang. Now the floating ice on Zhaoyuqi is reflected, and in a blink of an eye, after passing the Daze, two hundred miles north of Jinyang City is.

In the dense forest on the south bank of Zhaoyuqi, the soldiers of the Tang army were holding iron horse bowls and burying their heads to eat. After a day of march, everyone was extremely hungry. In this era, except for the nobles, most people had two meals, and the same was true for the soldiers.

As a Tang army soldier, he usually farms at home. Although taxes are exempted, his life is not easy at all. As a Tang army soldier, he not only has to bring his own weapons and dry food, but the court also stipulates that each group of soldiers must have six pack horses.

Therefore, the expenses of supporting pack horses are also a huge expense in daily life for the soldiers of the government. As the government soldiers of the East Hetang Dynasty, it is not easy to raise horses in Hedong, and it is not as convenient as the troops of the Longyou government soldiers of the Great War, so they live a very tight life.

However, Hedong Road and Longyou Road were very important to the Tang army. This was the second town of the prefecture army, and the scale of the troops was only inferior to Guanzhong Road. This time, when he went to fight against Zhao, Hedong Road was full of troops, and Longyou Road did not move in order to prevent the Turks from attacking the border. However, the soldiers were also waiting for the sword to prevent the Turks from attacking the border.

At the moment of rest, the Tang soldiers took out the fried rice and dried food they brought from their homes, put it in the iron horse bowl and hydrated it, and then stirred it with their hands to eat it. Li Chen was also kind to the soldiers and asked them to have a meal. Each soldier had a piece of bacon that was two fingers wide in his hand.

After each Tang army soldier got the piece of bacon, his eyes turned green. He bit his teeth several times before swallowing it, then put it in his mouth and chewed it. He ate it so hard that he finally swallowed it with unsatisfactory feelings.

"The prince is really a generous soldier." Wen Daya praised on the side. Wen Daya is now the Minister of the Taiwan Works Department of the Li Tang East Road, and he is also the brother of Wen Yanbo, the prime minister of Zhao State.

Li Chen nodded and said, "Soldiers left home and came to fight for their generals. These are all loyal and brave people. This general can do something within their ability."

Speaking of this, Li Chen looked at the sky and said, "It's almost the same as the time."

Wen Daya said: "Yes, at this time, Guo Ke's troops should be coming soon. This person is the friendship of General Wu's eight worships. He is a promise of a daughter and will definitely not lose the promise."

Li Chen nodded and said, "That's good. Now that I am with Guo Ke, a local snake, I have much more confidence in capturing Jinyang."

Wen Daya said: "Prince, we want to restrain Taiyuan, not to capture Taiyuan. According to the edict given to me by Your Majesty, as long as we can capture Qi County and cut off the passage from Taiyuan County to Shangdang County, we not only focus on the 30,000 elite Zhao troops in Taiyuan County, but also Shangdang County is worry-free."

As he spoke, a dozen riders suddenly came. After seeing the opponent's armor in the rain and fog, the Tang army scout who was ambushing the woods put down the bow and arrow in his hand.

The leader was a general wearing armor. Seeing him swaying the stirrups, Li Chen rode his horse to meet him and asked, "Does General Wu contact Guo Ke?"

The other party clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to the prince, you have already contacted him. Guo Ke is a friend of a certain person and will not let him down. The prince can trust him."

Li Chen smiled and said, "That's fine. I'm still worried that things will be bad."

This general named Wu, named Wu Shiqi, was named Wu Shiqi. When Li Yuan raised an army in Jinyang, he made great contributions and was granted the death. The Wu family was very powerful in Jinyang. Wu Shiqi's father Wu Hua had five sons. They all followed Li Yuan to raise an army in Jinyang. Li Yuan had a special trust in Wu Shiqi. He was his confidant, and was one of the few generals in the Tang army who could take charge of the troops.

This time, in order to attack Taiyuan County, Li Yuan sent warriors, Wen Daya and two men to assist Li Chen. Before the battle, the warriors instigated the Taiyuan tyrant Guo Ke to compete for the success. Guo Ke was a local tyrant and had a strong strong villager. After receiving the news about the warriors, Guo Ke contacted several green forest horse thieves in Taiyuan County, gathered more than 3,000 people, and joined Li Tang as the vanguard to attack Zhao this time.

The soldiers of the Tang army had just had a full meal, and Li Chen ordered the warriors to lead three thousand death-death troops to attack Qi County at night with Guo Ke. Li Chen himself led the army to attack the formation behind him.

As the sky gradually darkened, the wind blew, and each of the Tang soldiers led by the warriors was a lambskin raft, crossing Zhaoyuqi at night. In the marsh, there were water and grass growing, and the ice on the lake was shattered. No one would have expected that a group of people were quietly crossing the lake from here.

After crossing Zhaoyuqi, the Tang army soldiers pulled the sheepskin rafts closer to the reeds beside the big lake and hid in it. The spring night was cold, and the Tang army waited here for a night. After the sky was getting brighter, three low sounds in front of them were the secret code that Guo Ke and his men came to receive.

The warrior stood up from the reeds and walked towards him.

Be careful! A soldier suddenly pulled the warrior over, but saw an arrow shot from the secret!

Stroke through the samurai's neck.

The warrior was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. He half knelt on the ground and quickly drew his sword!

At this time, a whistle sounded loudly beside the reeds. After the whistle of three long and one short, several rockets cut through the night sky and shot into the depths of the reeds.

At this time, the sound of paddling sounded loudly, and countless small boats were drawn out from the reeds in the hazy dimness.

"I ambushed!"

The warrior shouted "Not good" and immediately organized soldiers to organize resistance on the shore. Countless arrows on the boat shot towards the Tang army on the shore, and the killing sounds were loud.

The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and in the morning mist, a big flag of Yuchi fluttered in the wind. Under the flag, a general wearing a full body came on the horse with an iron whip in his hand. The iron cavalry rolled behind him, and countless cavalrymen showed their bodies from the mist, including people and horses.

The warrior was shocked and said to himself: "Is it Yuchi Gong, a famous general of the Zhao army?"

The war horses were sniffing, and the Zhao army did not launch a charge as soon as they arrived. The general shouted immediately: "I am Yuchi Gong. You are smart and want to collude with Guo Ke to attack Qi County. Who knows that your every move has been under the surveillance of our army. An hour ago, Guo Ke was already the leader, but you are kept in the dark and still don't know. Now the general doesn't want to start another killing, so you can guarantee that you will not die!"
