My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 78: Sweeping across the heaven and earth, like thunder sweeping across the sky
The scene of fighting and fighting strikes again.

The whole body is in pain. In the dim dream, the patter of spring rain dominates the field of vision. Enemies like a tide are coming here. The light of swords, the undercurrent of iron spears, and the waving of iron halberds are facing the tide of enemies. A man standing on a mound is like a rock in the sea.

Unknown how many enemies came up, and then turned into corpses and piled up at their feet. In the distance, there were familiar voices, leading soldiers to rush to the rescue.

"The whole army is covering up and killing... everyone is going up to cover up and kill!"

Guo Jia's voice suddenly rang in his ears. Su Chen opened his eyes suddenly and saw a white tent. The room was filled with the smell of medicine. Everything around him seemed strange. He was not in the army.

"Are you awake?" This was an old man's voice.

Su Chen moved his limbs. His body bones were still sore, but it did not prevent him from sitting up. The direction of the voice was Zhang Jue's back. He was sitting in the corner at the end of the bed, holding a cattail leaf fan and shaking the small fire in the stove and the medicine jar. It's steaming.

"Damn, I thought I was traveling through time again."

Seeing a familiar figure, Su Chen leaned against the bedside and looked at the window lattice. The spring day was beautiful outside, and a few birds landed on the plum blossoms outside and swayed the branches and leaves.

The merit bar in his mind has now returned to [-], which means that the [-] points to unlock Emperor Zhaolie were all returned in one breath after this fight.

Finally rich points are available.

After calming down, Su Chen looked at the old man over there.

"Great Master, how long have I slept?"

"Three days." Zhang Jiao was wearing a Taoist robe, with disheveled hair, and the yin and yang lines between his eyebrows became more and more vivid. He poured a bowl of medicine and put it on the bedside, then sat down next to the bed, "That night, you and Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Le Jin They killed many people, and when Dong Zhuo and the others found you, they had already killed them until they fainted from exhaustion, and have been sleeping till now."

After sleeping for three days, Su Chen was stunned.

"What's the situation now? Where are Zhang Liao Dianwei and the others?"

"There are too many casualties. Right now we only have more than 2 people and 130 injured. However, there are more than 6 prisoners, more than 3000 horses confiscated, countless armors and weapons, and by the way, there are also seven or eight Ghosts. Door crossbow.”

While Zhang Jiao was checking Su Chen's body, he told him the statistics of casualties and prisoners in the past three days, and then handed the medicine bowl over: "This is Baoyuan Decoction, drink it first, and then go out to find them. "

"Thank you, great teacher!"

After drinking the bitter soup, Su Chen definitely couldn't stay any longer. The military armor had been removed and cleaned and wiped. There was only one set of regular clothes in the room. After putting on shoes and socks, he opened the door, and then, Stunned again.

In front of the field of vision, in the pavilion by the pond, several figures were lying or leaning there.

This is the county government's back hall. The county magistrate's family members have temporarily moved out here. No outsiders have passed by. Su Chen endured the pain and walked to the pavilion step by step. When he saw the figure in the pavilion, he was immediately happy.

Dong Zhuo, with his bandaged belly exposed, sat on the bench with his head raised and fell asleep; Zhang Liao, dressed in regular clothes, sat on the bench on the other side, leaning his head against the pillar of the pavilion to breathe evenly; Guo Jia sat on the stone bench in the middle, He was lying on the stone table with a flushed face, still holding a wine glass in his hand, and he thought he was too drunk again. Le Jin was also there, but his whole body was bandaged, and his face was also covered with medicine. He leaned against the stone table and placed his two feet on Dong Zhuo's thighs. Snoring; Zhang Liang sat on the stone steps outside the pavilion and fell asleep holding the wine jar. Zhang Bao sat under a tree outside, holding his cheeks and pecking his head bit by bit.

"After they came back, they stayed there for two days. They drank here yesterday, and they didn't fall asleep until now." Zhang Jiao followed, stroking his beard and smiling, talking about how they drank and laughed yesterday. "They talked about In those days, when talking about the success or failure of the Yellow Turbans, they talked about Dong Zhuo’s cruel deeds, and started to curse while talking, and then laughed and cried, like a group of lunatics, it is difficult to imagine that they were all heroes at that time.”

"What about the great virtuous teacher?"

Zhang Jiao stroked his beard and raised his head with a smile: "I am a poor practitioner and will not participate."

Ha ha!

Su Chen also smiled. Seeing that everyone in the pavilion was fine, he was relieved. He was about to call Dian Wei when he remembered that he hadn't seen anyone else since he woke up.

Probably guessing who Su Chen was looking for, Zhang Jiao pointed to the exit of the backyard.

"He is in the military camp, guarding the prisoners and the captured ordnance. Marquis Yunqi came several times and wanted to take some away. It can be seen that when Dian Wei Chu was in the camp, he did not dare to make any mistakes."

"Great Master, why don't you come with me to see it?"

"It just so happens that Pindao is bored here, so he might as well go for a walk outside the city with Changsheng."

Su Chen looked at the sleeping people in the pavilion, stretched out his hand and said, "Great sage, please come this way!"

"Please!"

The two of them made concessions and walked out of the backyard of the county government office together. In the front yard, the government officials and civil servants were busy as usual. The county magistrate here was surnamed Li. Because he surrendered to the court before, he now opened the city gate to surrender Su Chen. I don’t have the face to come over and pay my respects.

"I still took Changchuan County by force. It is normal for him to surrender to the imperial court. Now he has surrendered to me. He obviously knows that it is difficult to compete. This kind of person is good or bad, but he is doing good things to protect the soldiers and civilians in the city. .”

After leaving the yamen, Su Chen got on the horse brought by the guard, and walked side by side with Zhang Jiao for a while. He also looked at the Changchuan County town. Now that the soldiers had passed, few people came out of the muddy streets. Apart from rice noodles, the shops on the streets The shop was still open, with the doors and windows mostly closed, and there were Ding'an Army soldiers patrolling around. When they saw Su Chen and Zhang Jiao passing by, they all stepped aside and saluted.

"Don't even salute, get up." Su Chen got off his horse and helped the first soldier to his feet, and the rest of the soldiers followed suit.Su Chen opened their clothes and saw that there were more or less injuries on their bodies. Some of them were stained with blood, but no medicine had been used. He couldn't help feeling a little sour.

In the past, he only thought that the generals who led the troops to charge into battle and fight were so heroic, but he somewhat ignored these lower-level soldiers.

"You didn't apply any medicine? Maybe you swallowed the military food?"

Two questions in a row made the soldiers purse their lips and hesitated to speak. After a while, a shorter soldier in the middle, who was younger than Su Chen, stuttered and said: "General... General , there is enough food to eat...even though there is only one meal a day, and the herbs are not enough, the brothers give them to the seriously injured brothers."

"Big tiger!" An older soldier glared at him.

"One meal...can't blame him, this little brother is right."

Su Chen suddenly raised his hands: "Su Chen thanks all the soldiers!"

"General, what are you doing..." The soldiers were so frightened that they waved their hands or simply ducked away.

"You can afford to be worshiped."

Su Chen bowed his hands, then turned back, got on the horse, and said to them: "Don't worry, everyone, I will never let my generals win the battle and still be hungry!"

After saying that, he flicked his whip and urged the horse to cross the street and head out of the city.The soldiers watched for a while, and then the older soldier kicked the short soldier who had just spoken on the butt: "I told you to talk more."

"I was right again."

However, there was no angry expression on the older soldier's face. Instead, he smiled and patted his shoulder, inviting everyone to continue patrolling together.

Here, several war horses galloped out of Changchuan County. Five miles away was a temporary military camp. The wood used was taken from the camp where the imperial soldiers and horses were stationed.

More than 6 people were imprisoned, as well as thousands of horses. The military camp was built to an impossibly small size. More than 1 Ding'an troops were stationed here. All the prisoners were concentrated in the open space enclosed in the middle, surrounded by soldiers' tents, and from the edge of the open space. There is also a high platform for soldiers to view from a high place.

On the far right is the wounded soldiers' camp, one tent connected to another, almost all of which are seriously injured soldiers lying there, moaning in pain or screaming in agony from time to time.Most of the doctors from the army and those from Changchuan County were brought here to help treat the more than [-] injured. Even if all the doctors from the city were brought here, it would not be enough.

Mixed in with the painful groans and sobs were the whispered conversations of some lightly injured soldiers, and from time to time there were also boasting voices.

"...You don't know how brave I was that day. I slashed that guy once, but he didn't die. I wanted to resist, but I didn't give him a chance. I rushed up to hug him and bit his neck with all my strength. , and then bit that guy to death."

"You are a dog..."

Hahaha……

A group of wounded people burst into laughter, and some laughed so hard that their wounds were hurt: "Hiss...it hurts me to death."

"...You deserve it. Who told you to rush so fast? I'm still behind. What did General Dong say before? Try to stay close together and help each other. It's better for you to get hot and run after a four-legged guy. Attribute No dog can run as fast as you."

"Hey, you're swearing!" The wounded soldier who spoke first took a sip at his fellow countryman who was also on the bed next to him.

He turned his head and saw Su Chen and Zhang Jiao standing outside the tent. He quickly closed his mouth and turned his face to the side. There were also soldiers around who saw the situation outside. Someone boldly shouted: "General, we were beaten that day. How about it? Drive away those sons of bitches from the imperial court!"

Su Chen tried his best to appear relaxed and kind, and then smiled and said: "Good fight, I have never seen such powerful soldiers as you. If you fight a few more battles, if you still survive, I will promote you to the rank of uncle!"

"I am originally Du Bo, a soldier of the Imperial City! I was imprisoned for more than half a month under the command of General Dong who entered Ding'an City!"

Su Chen was also infected by their emotions, and promised with a smile: "Then let General Dong appoint you as the captain!"

"General, you can keep your word... But don't worry, General, we will never lose your face..." The soldier who was negotiating the price did not expect that Su Chen actually nodded in agreement. He wanted to stand up and say thank you, but Su Chen was Come over, reach out and press back to lie down.

The soldier's face put away the joking expression and replaced it with a simple smile.

"... I have been guarding the imperial city in Yanjing for more than ten years. I am very familiar with it. If I attack the imperial city in the future, I will know where to attack. There are also many brothers in the city. I am not willing to open the door. Haha! My family has been here for generations. He was the one who guarded the imperial city. After his father died, he passed it on to his son. Anyway, it will be passed on until there are no more sons. My father passed it on to me and used his salary to eat, drink and gamble every day. My mother-in-law didn't marry either, just because I didn't want to have any more children. Just like me, I will guard the imperial city every day in the future. When I joined the Ding'an Army, it was what the general said that day that made me feel that soldiers should wield their swords for the people instead of just sitting idly by..."

Next to him, the soldier who was blind in one eye stood up: "You only know now? But it's not too late. When you become a captain, my brother will protect me when I come under your command!"

The sound of talking here spread, and many wounded soldiers heard the movement here, and saw the figures who had been standing for a long time. They raised their heads excitedly and wanted to speak. There were soldiers patrolling in the distance and came over. I was afraid that wounded soldiers would attack the general.

Suddenly, the surrounding tents were filled with soldiers. Dian Wei, who was on the other side of the camp, rushed over when he heard the news. He waved his hands to push away the soldiers in front, and then he squeezed in next to Su Chen.

"Lord, why don't you rest more in the city?"

"If you rest in the room, you won't hear the voices of the soldiers below."

The noisy voices were buzzing, the wounded soldiers were talking, or they were shouting excitedly. Su Chen, who was gradually becoming stronger, took two steps, looked at everyone for a while, then slowly raised his hand, and the noisy voices around him followed. After disappearing, a pair of eyes intertwined on the young general.

"The defeat of the imperial court's [-] troops was all due to the bravery of all the soldiers to kill the enemy." After saying this, Su Chen cupped his hands and bowed to the soldiers in the wounded camp.

This scene made the surrounding soldiers dumbfounded. The densely packed figures were holding their own weapons, hanging their arms, or leaning against each other with familiar comrades. The soldiers walking from a distance were all bowing and bowing. The figure stopped and stared blankly. …

Yunqi County.

Fang Xuejun took out the knife from the house, stepped on the kicked down door, and walked out of the Crescent Gate. The maid tried to persuade her, but she ignored her. When she came to the front yard, she heard her father Fang Jinxue's voice drinking with someone. scold.

"What now? The imperial army has been defeated... If it weren't for the instigation of your eldest and second eldest wives, my family would have broken off the engagement? Now Marquis Yunqi has rebelled, and so has the governor. What should the Fang family do now?!"

In the hall, Fang Wenye sat on a chair, closing his eyes and listening to the quarrel between the first, second and third bedrooms without any expression.

The Fang family has been operating in Yunqi for hundreds of years and can be considered a wealthy family. Except for the Marquis of Yunqi, it can be said that it is quite powerful in the local area. There are many literati in the family, and there are also many disciples and former officials in various states. The Su family suffered a disaster a few years ago and the family was confiscated. He was eager to get rid of the relationship. Later, the Su family rebelled and the court's [-] troops pressed on the country. He felt that breaking off the engagement was right.

However, a few days ago, the 12-strong army was destroyed in two days, the general died in battle, and Marquis Yunqi followed in rebellion, which was difficult for him to accept. But now the marriage has been cancelled. He is the head of the Fang family and always thinks of the Fang family. way out.

"If any of you bully my father again, I will kill you with a knife!" Fang Xuejun stood next to his father and pulled out a blade, scaring the people in the second room of the big house opposite to take a step back.

boom!
The old man at the head of the table banged the table to silence the noisy scene.Fang Wenye was silent for a moment, then looked at his third son Fang Jinxue and his granddaughter Fang Xuejun.

"Let's break up."

……

In the wounded barracks, the wind carried the sound in everyone's ears.

There were many figures in the camp approaching the wounded soldiers camp, and the bound prisoners looked curiously at what the local county soldiers were doing.

distance.

Countless figures gathered together, surrounded by three layers inside and three outside, looking at Su Chen in front of him. The surroundings were quiet and he could hear the sound of the wind, the deliberately suppressed moans of the wounded soldiers, and the wind blowing the tents and people's robes.

White clouds floated in the sky, blocking the bright sunshine.

Su Chen straightened up and put down his hands. In his field of vision were faces covered with stains and wounds from stab wounds. His voice sounded clear and upright.

"I saw a lot in the camp today, and I had a different feeling in my heart!"

……

In the county government pavilion, the blocked time was retracting from the pavilion. Guo Jia was lying on the stone table, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The news of the defeat of the imperial court's [-]-strong army caused countless fast horses and boats to rush to various states in the past few days, causing countless waves.

The convoy escorting the grain and fodder finally arrived at the border of Changchuan. The one-armed man looked at the outline of the city from a distance. He heard some news on the way, and his face finally showed a happy look.

Su Ting, who was sitting in the car, excitedly told the driver and the police about Su Chen's childhood. He probably thought that Brother Su was the one who did great things since he was a child.

……

"I have always thought that leading an army is very simple. You just need to point in a direction on horseback, and the soldiers obey perfectly, then kill the enemy, win the victory, and get the fruits you deserve, and that's it. But today I passed by In the city, I learned from a patrolling soldier that you won the battle, but you didn't even get a bite to eat. The stab wounds and gunshot marks on your body, as long as they are not serious, will be over with a little patience."

Flags were flying, and Su Chen stood among the crowd. His voice was choked with sobs, and then he raised his voice and said, "But to me, this is a dereliction of duty as a general!"

……

In Yunqi County, Wu Huizhi put on his armor, mounted his beloved war horse, and led Tang Huaiyuan, who was engaged in the expedition, through the prosperous market. Amid the shouts of the traders, he left the city and came to the military camp. There was vigorous training in the school field, and the cavalry galloped across the fields through the dust and smoke.

In the Fang family, the blade split the large round table where they were eating in half. Before the strong-tempered woman could say yes, her father pulled her and shook his head. He was probably reluctant to separate the family.

The woman was so angry that she dropped her weapon, turned around and left angrily.

To the south, on the flat fields, acres and acres of fields, green shoots emerged from the soil. The people who had survived the drought for several months wiped the sweat from their faces with hoes, looking in the direction of Ding'an, showing a gentle smile. Smile.

……

In the quiet wounded barracks, the doctor was still busy, and the bonfire for heating was swaying in the wind.

"...Everyone knows that there is not much food left in Ding'an City to help the victims. The court doesn't care about us. It doesn't matter. The worst thing is that the Yan Kingdom of the Beigong clan will be rebelled... The soldiers and horses of the two states came to fight, and they were destroyed. We got With some food, we could hold on for a while. We thought we would get more food after defeating the [-]-strong army this time. Unfortunately, after defeating them, we found out that the food of these people had been burned, and the little left was only enough for everyone. After a meal, my soldiers won the battle, but they couldn’t even fill their stomachs——

The roaring sound came from the figures intertwined around him. Su Chen stood among countless soldiers, and his voice echoed over the camp.

"...My soldiers should not be treated like this, and my soldiers should not live in such a humble way. How is that different from before!"

Su Chen clenched his hands into fists, his robes fluttering slightly in the wind, and scanned the faces around him. His body stood among the crowd, as if giving people the illusion of a pillar of heaven.

"...The city in front of you now was built with your swords and spears. The land you stand on was watered by your blood. If you own the land and the city and let you starve, that's a big deal. What a joke...I will kill anyone who makes you hungry again, even if it is the emperor, I will chop off his head..."

Su Chen looked at them and said loudly: "Do you believe me?!"

The wind blew through the tents, making a roaring sound. As the burning flames swayed, flecks of sparks floated around him and rose into the sky. More soldiers came over, pursed their lips and watched in silence, with a slight smile on their faces. Moved.

……

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses were defeated!All the news was delivered to the states by fast horses and boats, and was secretly transmitted to the states and counties and delivered to every household.

Some people laughed heartily, took their weapons, led the soldiers in the mansion, mounted their horses and left the city; some people read the news, clapped their big hands on the table, and then fell silent again, looking towards Yanjing in the north; some people held the imperial edict given by the late emperor. , violently tore it apart, the emotions that had been suppressed for many years burst out, with red eyes, he called the soldiers to gather, and also called in the scribes to write down a message!
In Yanzhou, beacon smoke was everywhere, another grain depot was set alight, black smoke rose into the sky like a dragon, and the roaring cavalry continued to gallop across the plains.

A fiery red figure stopped for a moment, as if feeling something in his heart, he looked towards the south.

……

"We believe in the General——"

The sound of shouts like a sea wave swept over the camp, creating a chilling atmosphere. The tall man rubbed his palms and roared excitedly. In the distance, the gathered prisoners were also shocked by these countless shouts and listened quietly. The words of an invisible person.

"...We will also get more land. Dayan is a huge land with high mountain snowfields, rich in various furs, ginseng, and fertile land for growing food. There is more underground in Youyan Mountain to the west. Countless copper and iron. Across Yantang Pass, there is an endless grassland where you can graze cattle, horses and flocks of sheep. One day in the future, I will take you there and ask for it. If you don’t give it, I will put the knife on it. on their necks.

You have already defeated 10,000+ enemies. How many such enemies are there in the world to challenge you? We have swept through Dayan, captured the grasslands, and crossed the Hun River. We don’t care if we fight another 10,000+ people. Our heirs will not be able to defeat you. No matter how hungry you are, the land under your feet will be the food we grew, don’t you think about it! ! "

"Think!!" Everyone roared in unison, creating a huge smoke of energy.

……

In Ding'an County, Tianyun was walking slowly. A scribe named Xun Yu took the tea from the servant, glanced at Cao Cao who came to speak, turned back to the study, took the pen and ink, and then dropped it on the unfinished paper. Ink stains.

His opening line: "Ping Yan Ce"

In the quiet courtyard, Liu Bei walked in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and came under the eaves of the mansion gate. He looked at the bustling and lively streets with a smile on his face.

Thirteen yawned and glanced at Su Congfang who was anxious. He hugged the sword and continued to guard with all his strength. Occasionally, he thought of his dead friend and showed melancholy.

Su Huan, who was supporting the old woman, suddenly covered her mouth and ran to the wall to vomit. Soon, the family doctor came in a hurry.

barracks.

Zhang Jiao looked at Su Chen in the crowd and nodded happily.

……

The sun was shining through the clouds again, and the sky was crowded with people. There was a dense forest of guns, flags standing in the wind, and cavalry running around the camp.

Su Chen raised his face, feeling the warmth of the sun shining on his face, then opened his eyes, and his voice sounded like thunder.

"In order not to starve, you have to follow them and tell them with swords and guns who the land of Yan belongs to?! I tell you, it belongs to you! What if the enemy doesn't give it to you?!"

Around them, countless people raised their arms and waved their weapons, "Tear them apart——"

"it is good--"

"Then let them tremble under the soldiers' front, and let this land roar and vibrate under our feet. The fields, land, and cities wherever we pass will belong to us. Today, I, Su Chen, swear on my life that anyone who follows me will Soldiers who attack cities and plunder territory, open up territories and expand territory, and those who shed their blood and sacrifice their lives and make great achievements will be granted the title of marquis and general!"

Su Chen paused for a moment, then pulled out the long knife from his waist and roared: "Let those dignitaries hiding behind the thick city walls see that there are soldiers running across the world -"

"——What kind of bravery!"

The bright spring light shone on the blade, reflecting a dazzling light, and cut it in everyone's sight, "You should be invincible and dominate the world!"

Around him, Zhang Jue's face turned red. He had not been so excited for a long time. Dian Wei unfurled his thick beard and raised his halberds. Countless soldiers in the camp stretched out and smashed the ground with their weapons raised high. A huge roar swept through them. Sky.

"Long live the general!!!"

The world will change color.
