As the sun set, on a plain thirty miles south of Qi County, a fierce battle was going on.
In the center of the battlefield, two armies are fighting each other, and someone will die tragically under the opponent's sword every moment. There is a certain gap in the number of the two armies, but the smaller one relies on sophisticated equipment and well-trained soldiers.
With this fighting method, he gained absolute initiative on the battlefield, but on the contrary, he killed the other side with more people and retreated steadily!
At the forefront of the battle between the two armies, a young general wearing silver armor, holding a big gun thicker than his wrist, and riding a white horse was fighting bravely to kill the enemy! Under his gun, almost no one
An enemy is his enemy! Even though this young general is young, he is decisive and ruthless in his attacks. Every shot hits the enemy's throat. One shot stabs out, and the other draws out, bringing up a bloody arrow.
Spray it out! And it was under the leadership of this young general that the motley army in front of them, which seemed to be poorly equipped, did not last long before being killed and completely defeated!
Looking at the defeated enemy soldiers, the young general wiped the blood stains on his face, revealing a handsome face, but he seemed to think that the killing was not satisfying enough, and was about to slap the horse and continue to chase them. At this time, a voice said
A voice came from behind him: "Shixin! Don't chase the poor enemy! We have already won this battle!"
"Uh!" Hearing this voice, the young general immediately reined in the reins. However, he glanced at the enemies fleeing in front of him, curled his mouth, and directly hit the ground with the big gun in his hand, provoking a few
With a wave of his hand, a few stones flew out. Immediately afterwards, several screams were heard, and those stones hit several fleeing enemies!
"You!" At this time, the previous voice rang in the young general's ears again. A middle-aged general with a long beard rode up to the young general's side. He looked at the young general and shook his head helplessly, but
From the way he looked at the young general, he was full of appreciation and affection. Looking at the middle-aged general, a set of plain armor was covered with scratches and blood stains. In this severe cold weather, it was still...
The hot ground was steaming, which showed that in the battle just now, the middle-aged general killed no less enemies than the young general! The middle-aged general just glanced at the fleeing enemies in front, and then said: "To put it bluntly, these people,
In fact, they are just some people who don’t have enough to eat! They were bewitched by the rebels and joined the thieves! If they give up resistance, it is better to let them live!"
"Zhang Shuai!" After hearing the middle-aged general's words, the young general curled his lips and said with some disapproval: "Thieves are thieves! We are officials, they are thieves! What's wrong with killing them? As citizens of the Sui Dynasty, they are now thieves
If you resist the imperial court and don't kill one person as a warning to others, wouldn't it mean that all the people in the world will learn to rebel?"
"This?" After hearing the young general's words, the middle-aged general didn't know how to answer for a while. He was stunned for a long time, and finally he could only sigh. In fact, anyone who is familiar with the middle-aged general knows that he is not usually like this.
An indecisive person.
Zhang Xutuo of Qi County! Although he has not been in the army for a long time, he is also a famous general in the Sui army! At that time, King Bo of Zhishilang raised his troops to rebel and marched across Shandong. The officers and soldiers of all counties and counties were invincible! Only Zhang
Xutuo! With less and more, he defeated Wang Bo several times. In the end, he even defeated Wang Bo, Sun Xuanya, Hao Xiaode and other coalition forces with a total of more than 100,000, and forced Wang Bo out of Qi County! After that, Pei Changcai, Guo Fangyu and others
The thieves were also defeated at the hands of Zhang Xutuo! Tens of thousands of thieves died under Zhang Xutuo's sword! Even today's emperor loves Zhang Xutuo very much, and even Zhang Xutuo secretly opened the
The emperor did not blame him for putting grain in the warehouse, but rewarded him! As soon as the Qijun soldiers heard Zhang Xutuo's name, they would tremble with fear and be in panic all day long!
After fighting for so many years, although Zhang Xutuo was brave and good at fighting, he watched the thieves in the world killing more and more, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Could he really solve the crisis in the Sui Dynasty if he continued to kill like this?
?Because of this, the conversation between Zhang Xutuo and the young general just happened.
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with an answer. Finally, Zhang Xutuo sighed and said to the young general: "Shi Xin! After this battle, all of Pei Changcai's remaining troops in Qi County have dispersed! At least those in Qi County have dispersed.
It will be peaceful for a while! You will set off in a few days and go to Luoyang on my behalf to report the results of this battle to the Ministry of War!"
This young general is Zhang Xutuo's most valued assistant, Luo Shixin, a native of Licheng! Although he is only nineteen years old, he has already been in the army for five years. He is brave and good at fighting, and has superb martial arts skills, especially a powerful gun. In recent years, Zhang
Xutuo was able to defeat the bandits in a row, and Luo Shixin also made a lot of contributions.
After hearing Zhang Xutuo's instructions, Luo Shixin's eyes lit up. He was a young man after all, and he always liked the excitement. Luoyang City was the imperial capital of the Sui Dynasty, and he had long heard that it was the most lively and prosperous place in the Sui Dynasty. So what happened to Luo Shixin?
Do you want to go and have a look? Luo Shixin was immediately overjoyed. He clasped his fists at Zhang Xutuo and shouted: "Yes! Zhang Shuai! The final general will definitely live up to his mission!"
Luo Shixin was promoted by Zhang Xutuo. How could Zhang Xutuo not know about Luo Shixin's temperament? Although he liked Luo Shixin very much, Zhang Xutuo did not forget to mention: "Shixin! Luoyang City is not comparable to this one."
County! It is at the foot of the emperor, and there are dignitaries everywhere. You and I cannot afford to offend you! When you get there, be sure not to cause trouble, so as not to cause unreasonable disasters! Remember!"
"Zhang Shuai! Don't worry!" Luo Shixin's mind was now full of thoughts about going to Luoyang to see things. He naturally agreed to Zhang Xutuo's instructions, but no one knew whether he took it into his heart!
Looking at Luo Shixin with a wry smile, Zhang Xutuo couldn't feel relieved at all. After thinking about it, Zhang Xutuo decided that it would be safer to put someone else beside Luo Shixin. Immediately, Zhang Xutuo shouted behind him:
"Where is Uncle Bao?"
"The last general is here!" Zhang Xutuo's shout had just settled down, and then, a louder voice came from not far away. Not long after, a young general with a strong back and a strong waist was seen.
The horse rushed over. When he reached Zhang Xutuo and Luo Shixin, the general tightened the reins hard and stopped the fast-moving horse. Then he turned over and dismounted. He gave Zhang Xutuo a fist salute and shouted
: "Qin Qiong is here! What are Zhang Shuai's orders?"
Not to mention that this man has a strong back and strong waist, his face is also square and square, showing resoluteness, and his complexion is red. At first glance, he is a decisive and decisive person. This man is Zhang Xutuo's general, who has just surrendered to Zhang Xutuo.
Qin Qiong, who has been under Xutuo's account for a short time! Although Qin Qiong is not very old, he has a more calm temperament than Luo Shixin. Zhang Xutuo has also valued this person very much recently. After recruiting him, Zhang Xutuo is
Said: "Uncle Bao! You and Shixin will go to Luoyang in a few days! Remember, your mission is to keep a good watch on him! Don't let him get into trouble!"
"This..." After hearing Zhang Xutuo's order, Qin Qiong hesitated and glanced at Luo Shixin. Although Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin were from the same hometown and they had a good personal relationship, Qin Qiong also knew Luo Shixin's temper. If he really got angry,
I'm afraid that no one can suppress him except Zhang Xutuo! The task assigned by Zhang Xutuo was a bit difficult, but after a while, Qin Qiong's face darkened and he shouted: "General, take your orders."
!”
Qin Qiong agreed, but Luo Shixin was a little unhappy. Isn't it obvious that he was being screwed? He opened his mouth to object, but when Zhang Xutuo glared at him, Luo Shixin immediately became honest and stood aside honestly.
In my heart, I was thinking about how to discuss it with Qin Qiong later. When I arrived in Luoyang, I didn’t have to worry about it!
Zhang Xutuo did not care about Luo Shi's calculations. Zhang Xutuo still understood Qin Qiong's temperament. Since he agreed, he would never let him down. Zhang Xutuo immediately ordered other soldiers to take stock of the battle situation.
, since Luo Shixin is going to go to Luoyang to report the results of the battle in a few days, it is natural that there must be a charter.
Not long after, another general rode up to Zhang Xutuo. This person was Zhang Xutuo's deputy general Pei Renji. Although Zhang Xutuo valued Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong and other young generals, they were still too young.
Although he is young, his experience is still not as good as that of veterans who have been in the army for many years, so Zhang Xutuo usually entrusts many military affairs to his old subordinate Pei Renji. Pei Renji came to Zhang Xutuo and asked Zhang Xutuo
He saluted and said: "Zhang Shuai! The results of the battle have been counted!" After saying that, Pei Renji picked up an account book and sent it directly to Zhang Xutuo.
Zhang Xutuo briefly looked through it, and after confirming that there were no problems, Zhang Xutuo returned the account book to Pei Renji and said, "I'll polish up the results of the battle, and then give them to Shixin and let them submit them in a few days."
!" The embellishment in Zhang Xutuo's mouth does not mean to add false reports of battle results. Zhang Xutuo is different from other Sui generals. He will never falsely report his battle results. One is one, two is two. Some people were jealous of Zhang Xutuo's battle results.
He tried to slander the emperor, but the emperor sent people to repeatedly inquire. However, the battle results reported by Zhang Xutuo were completely without any problems. This actually made the emperor value Zhang Xutuo more and more. And the polishing that Zhang Xutuo had just ordered was just
Ask Pei Renji to copy this account book again. After all, this is going to be submitted to the emperor. It is very likely that it will be presented to the emperor for inspection. You can't go there with this mess! This kind of appearance skills are still needed!
After dealing with all this, Zhang Xutuo took another look at the corpses on the ground. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, shook his head slightly, and turned to look to the west at Luoyang. The emperor was fatuous and his traitorous ministers were in power. The great Sui Dynasty was already
It has become riddled with holes. Although he can still fight to eliminate thieves, this is only a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. Is the Sui Dynasty really exhausted?
