Chapter 440 General, Soul of the Army

In the morning of the next day, the drums and horns fluttered, and the Kansai Army of Dafeichuan gathered on the school yard.

Li Daozong wore a long-lost uniform in his robe and armor. He stood on the platform with a knife in his fork. He saw the soldiers gathered from all directions, and his expression had always been more serious.

The army in front of him made him feel very unusual.

For half of his life, Li Daozong has seen any kind of army. The elite, like the Xuanjia army under the command of the King of Qin, did not have the fighting spirit and momentum emitted by the Kansai army in front of him. In fact, the Guanxi Army in Lanzhou is still very young, and it has only been a few years since Qin Shubao entered Lan.

Li Daozong can't figure out what kind of magic power the father and son of the Qin family have to build a young army so strong and tenacious in a short time, and at the same time very united.

This is not only the harsh training and good equipment that can be piled up.

After thinking for a long time, Li Daozong vaguely thought of a factor: the Lanzhou Kansai Army, except for a few soldiers and horses brought by Qin's father and son from Guanzhong and Beijing, most of them were native soldiers from Lanzhou. Originally, Lanzhou was a place where soldiers fought frequently. The people's customs were strong and the people were strong, and people were eager for peace and tranquility.

Since Qin's father and son entered Lanzhou one after another, not to mention the successive victories, the most important thing is to give this party Li people a life of living and work in peace and contentment, and it is incredible to change the situation of poor bureaucrats in Lanzhou in previous years. Agriculture, animal husbandry and commerce are active, and the people gradually become rich.

Just because of this, Qin's father and son are enough to have unparalleled prestige in Lanzhou. It is not surprising that every soldier in the Kansai army has an extremely deep affection for Qin's father and son.

Only those who have experienced war know that peace is precious and peace is hard-won. When Lanzhou was in war again, the local people hardly had to enthusiastically join the army. However, the bad news came one after another, and it was Qin's father and son who died one after another. This is simply a bolt from the blue for the Lanzhou military and civilians, and it has been greatly stimulated.

To put it a bad word, even if today's emperor dies, the army and people of Lanzhou may not have any special feelings. There is no doubt that Qin's father and son have become the soul and pillar of the people of Lanzhou and the Kansai army!

Thinking of this, Li Daozong couldn't help sighing secretly: No wonder during the Battle of Qingluoyuan yesterday, our soldiers would sacrifice their lives and fight with the Tubo people. If it were me, if the benefactor who killed me and the enemies of my father and brother were close in front of me, how could I fight to death without being jealous and manic? ... I, Li Daozong, can justly say that I can lead any soldier and horse in the world, and I can also be obedient, including the emperor's imperial army. But I'm really not sure about the Kansai army in front of me. Qin Shubao and Qin Mubai, their status in the eyes of the generals and soldiers of the Kansai army, especially the local people of Lanzhou and their fathers, is absolutely irreplaceable!

A few drums sounded, and the military array was assembled.

There were 90,477 people in the whole army, and none of them were absent. Even the seriously injured sergeant was carried on a stretcher and lying on the colonel.

Seeing this scene, Li Daozong, who was used to seeing any big scene for half his life, felt inexplicably blocked in his heart. An invisible pressure made him a little breathless.

"Maybe these generals know what I'm going to say... The hatred in their hearts, like their attachment to Da Feichuan, is insoluble. What should I tell them? Whether it is temporarily giving up revenge or giving up this barracks, it is unacceptable to them, and it is even more cruel..."

"Your Highness, the army has assembled." Xue Wanjun came forward and hugged his fist and said, "Please teach me."

"Uh-huh..." Li Daozong took a deep breath and nodded. He took a few steps forward and began to speak.

......

At this time, not far from the gate of the military camp, a civilian-style ordinary carriage came. The patrol cavalry immediately ran over and warned with a gun, shouting, "Military aircraft is heavy, and idle people will avoid it! Leave quickly, or you will be punished as a spy!"

And it was expected that the carriage did not leave in a hurry, but was driving towards the camp. The cavalry sentry came forward to surround it and shouted, "Who broke into our army camp and get out of the car!"

The curtain on the window of the car was lifted open, and a beautiful woman in a black gauze hat came out. In addition to her graceful posture, she acted neatly and easily jumped down the carriage.

The sergeants couldn't help but be surprised, and their eyes lit up: good skills, good demeanor! ...Well, she also holds a sword in her hand. It seems that she must be armed with martial arts!

"My surname is Chen." The woman arched her hand with her sword in her hands, opened the door and took out a little girl from inside and said, "Her surname is Qin."

"Surname Qin?" The sergeants were all surprised, "You are the young commanders... Who are you?"

"I know, I know, the young commander you are talking about is my father! My name is Qin Xiaolou, hee hee! This is my mother!" The little girl giggled innocently and said first.

"It turned out to be the young commander's family, and there is a lot of neglect!!!" The sergeants hurriedly fell down and saluted.

"Don't be polite." Chen Yan raised her eyes and looked at the large military fortress and said, "Is it convenient to enter the army at this time? ...I only brought my daughter to pay tribute to his father. There is nothing else."

"Convenient, convenient! Madam, please! The young general will go first and inform the king of Jiangxia and the generals!"

"It's good." Chen Yan didn't say much, so she hugged the small building and walked into the barracks with this group of sergeants. She thought to herself, no wonder she didn't see her adoptive father when she visited the governor's mansion. Unexpectedly, he came to Dafeichuan before me. Is there really something wrong with Mu Bai? If not, how can you invite your godfather from Lanzhou to preside over the overall situation?

Thinking of this, Chen Yan's heart was like a knife, so she held the small building tightly.

At this time, there was a group of passionate people on the stage, and the generals were making a big noise.

"I won't withdraw! I won't withdraw even if I beat it to death!" Yuwen Hongtai rushed first and didn't care about the etiquette in the army. He rushed to the general stage excitedly and almost pointed to Li Daozong's nose and shouted, "This military order is fake! It must be fake! King of Jiangxia, I have always respected you. Don't slander me!"

"Yuwen Hongtai, don't be unreasonable, why don't you retreat!" Hou Junji shouted in a low voice.

"Shut up!" Yuwen Hongtai roared, "Thanks to my third brother who valued you so much, Hou Junji! As soon as my third brother left, you will take us to run away as a shrinking turtle! If you don't take revenge, you don't even want Da Feichuan! - It's clear that you two get together to cheat and get a fake military order to deceive us! The third brother has been gone for so many days. Where did the military order leave you? Bah! Liar!"

There are many generals with the same idea as Yuwen Hongtai under the stage, especially these people in the Modao Camp are the life and death of Yuwen Hongtai. At this time, they are all together and shouting loudly.

Li Daozong is so bored!

According to his ordinary temper, he took down Yuwen Hongtai and disposed of it. But now, it really doesn't work.

First of all, even Li Daozong himself felt that the military order left by Qin Mubai was a little strange. If this military order had not been given to him by his own daughter Li Xueyan, he would not have believed it. In addition, although Yuwen Hongtai is only a general now, his relationship with Qin Mubai is inseparable, just like a biological brother. Everyone in the Kansai Army knows this. In addition, Yuwen Hongtai has always only recognized the father and son of the Qin family. He doesn't pay attention to any generals and princes, and he can do anything recklessly. Therefore, even Hou Junji and Xue Wanjun are usually in awe of this upright and fierce man.

"What a headache!" Li Daozong couldn't help crying secretly.

"Yuwen Hongtai, can you read?" Hou Junji suddenly said.

"I can't read. What's wrong?" Yuwen Hongtai said angrily.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Hou Junji smiled sarcastically and helplessly, "If you can read, you can also identify whether this is the handwriting of the young commander."

Yuwen Hongtai turned his eyes and pulled the military order, "Take it to show me!"

"Well, you knocked it down!" Li Daozong almost couldn't help laughing.

The stage was already laughing. Someone shouted, "General Yuwen, you'd better come down quickly. Don't contradict the prince!" That military order must be false, and there is no need to identify it!"

"It's true! Humph!" Yuwen Hongtai angrily threw the Bai silk military order to Li Daozong, stared at him a few times, and said, "Your Majesty, we invite you to come here to take us to war and pick up the Tubo people to avenge the young commander. Why did you take us to escape as soon as you came? - If it's really like this, you'd better go back to Lanzhou! If it weren't for you, we could fight this battle by ourselves!"

"Yuwen Hongtai, don't shut up and get out!" Xue Wanjun shouted in a low voice.

"Get out of here!" Seeing that Li Daozong's face was about to change, Yuwen Hongtai jumped off the platform knowingly, patted his buttocks, and stood back into the train like a winner.

Li Daozong and Hou Junji looked at each other and looked embarrassed.

This situation is really not easy to deal with. It's not that the generals and soldiers don't even listen to Qin Mubai's military order. The main reason is that this military order is really strange, and it can't but make people doubt his authenticity. Originally, everyone didn't want to retreat, so naturally they subjectively thought it was fake.

"Xue Wanjun, I hope you put the overall situation first." Li Daozong whispered, "Qin Mubai's special font is called 'thin gold'. Even His Majesty the emperor has praised his calligraphy and painting, saying that 'the world is unparalleled and can't be imitated'. And you are the general of the center, and you are quite familiar with Qin Mubai's handwriting, aren't you?

Xue Wanjun said, "Of course it is. The last general knew what the prince wanted to say. Although the last general is hard to believe, the last general knows that this military order is indeed true and is from the hands of the young commander. But..."

"Don't be!" Li Daozong's eyebrows sank and said, "The military situation is like fire. How can it be delayed? The most urgent thing is to evacuate Dafeichuan!"

"I just don't understand why I have to withdraw?" Xue Wanjun finally roared out what he thought.

"The military order is for obedience, not for doubting and explaining!" Li Daozong shouted, "Since you believe that this military order is true, execute it!"

"Fake, fake, fake!!" Yuwen Hongtai under the stage shouted again.

"Yuwen Hongtai, you have to be impatient again! Otherwise, the sixteen red-dressed knives on the stage will be unbearable!"

......

In front of the stage, they quarreled into a pot of porridge. They are all bloody warriors. The words are full of anger, and the scene is extremely hot.

Chen Yan took the small building and walked to the vicinity of the general platform. From afar, she saw Li Daozong and others quarreling there. She couldn't help but feel worried and angry. She secretly said: As soon as Mu Bai left, why did the army under his command make civil strife? Even my godfather can't control the table!

"Mom, look, Grandpa is there! And Uncle Black, why did they quarrel? The small building pointed over there and said with a little fear.

Chen Yan asked the sergeant who led the way what was going on. The sergeant told the truth, saying that the generals were quarreling with the prince because of the authenticity of the military order left by Qin Shaoshuai.

"It's so simple. I can recognize the words of your young commander!" After saying that, Chen Yan walked to the general stage with the small building in her arms.

As soon as her figure appeared, it attracted the attention of many people. Li Daozong, Yuwen Hongtai and others also temporarily stopped quarreling and looked at her at the same time.

"Chen Yan? Why are you here!" Li Daozong said in surprise.

"Dunpa! Black uncle!" The small building was not timid at all. She was not afraid of countless people present and called people with a smile.

As soon as Yuwen Hongtai saw the small building, he was immediately surprised. He rushed to the platform and picked her up. He laughed and hugged her in a few circles, and then shouted, "Brothers, this is our young commander's wife and daughter! - Why don't you see the gift!"

"I've met your wife!" Tens of thousands of people held their fists one after another, and the momentum was great!

"Wow, there are so many people..." Xiao Louer was a little scared and hugged Yuwen Hongtai's neck tightly. "Uncle Black, I'm afraid! There are a lot of people here. Take me and go!"

"Good building, don't go. Come down and don't pester Uncle Hei. Chen Yan took the small building and put it on the ground and let her stand by herself. She punched Li Daozong and said, "Your Highness, I heard that you will never accept the authenticity of the military order you left for Mu Bai. The people are willing to invite, can you show me this military order? I know his handwriting!"

Li Daozong sighed for a long time and said, "It's the best - soldiers, have you heard it? Her name is Chen Yan, and she is the wife of the young commander. It's up to her to identify the handwriting. Everyone must believe it, right?

Yuwen Hongtai was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Yan in a daze, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, do you have to... see clearly?"

"Don't worry." Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "I'm willing to invite the prince to give me a military order to have a look."

"Look at it!" Li Daozong gave the general order to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan took the military order written by white silk and looked at it word by word.

Above the school grounds, the wind rises. Yellow sand is flying, and banners are hunting. The white silk also fluttered in Chen Yan's hands.

The handwriting on the white silk is so familiar... In front of Chen Yan's eyes, she couldn't help but appear in the small water building outside Xiangyang City, the paper crane tied to the window edges and flying in the wind.

The past, the deceased has passed away...

"This handwriting is real..." After a long time, Chen Yan mechanically spit out these words.

"How come! Impossible!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted, "Sister-in-law, you must recognize it clearly!"

"It can't be wrong." Chen Yan took a deep breath, held back the tears in her eyes, and said, "If I can still remember a person's handwriting in this world, it must be Xiao Lou'er's father."

After saying that, Chen Yan took out a small cloth bag from her arms and opened it. Inside was a folded paper crane. She unfolded it with a few small poems on it.

"You can compare by yourself. This is the poem written by Mu Bai in those years.

"I don't watch it, I don't watch it!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted twice and roared unwillingly, "Why! Third brother, why do you want us to retreat!"

The whole audience was silent.

"Uncle Black, don't be angry..." Xiao Louer timidly pulled the corner of Yuwen Hongtai's clothes.

"Okay, I'm not angry! ..." Yuwen Hongtai stopped in a hurry and bent down to pick up the small building, but couldn't help sobbing, "Little building, your black uncle is useless. He is a waste and a bastard! Even if you fight for your life, you can't cut off the dog's head of garqinling, and you didn't avenge your father!"

"Revenge my father? Why?" Xiao Louer tilted her head and blinked her big black eyes and asked curiously.

"Building, come here." Chen Yan called out, "Come on, read the military order written by your father to your uncles."

"Oh!" Xiao Louer answered with a smile. Yuwen Hongtai took her over and put her down, and Chen Yan stretched out her white silk with both hands.

"Mother, I don't know many words on it! ...I only know a few!" Xiao Louer spit out her tongue and said with a grimace and a little shy.

"Come on, my mother will teach you how to read."

"Good!"

"Jingling!" Chen Yan's voice is extremely resolute in Congo.

"Jingling!" Xiaolouer learned the language, learned from her mother's tone, and shouted vigorically in her childish voice.

"All the soldiers of the Kansai Army..."

"All the soldiers of the Kansai Army! ...Mother, I can recognize this word!"

"Abando all the weight..."

A girl and a child recited the words in the military order over and over again. The sound was not loud, but it was unusually clear in the clear sky of Dafeichuan.

"The general manager of the march in Kansai Province - Qin Mubai!" After reading the last sentence, Chen Yan's tears finally came out of her eyes.

"Qin Mubai, it's my father! ...Mom, why are you crying?" The small building hurried up and hugged Chen Yan's leg.

"Wow!--" On the side, Yuwen Hongtai suddenly cried loudly and roared, "Brothers, have you heard the military order read by your wife?"

"Listen clearly!!" The generals of the three armies roared with sadness.

"That's still a fart! Pack up the guys and get ready to go!!!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted hysterically, stepped forward and picked up the small building, holding it tightly in his arms and refused to let go. I cried loudly and cried like a child.

"Black uncle, don't cry!" Xiao Louer hugged Yuwen Hongtai's neck, patted him on the back like an adult, and said, "Who bullied you? When my father comes back, I'll tell him for you! Let him hit that bad guy's board!"

Yuwen Hongtai cried harder.

The generals and soldiers of the three armies dispersed in silence...

"Hey! ..." Li Daozong sighed, and I don't know if he breathed a sigh of relief or a sad sigh. He said to himself, "General, the soul of the army! The Kansai army has been deeply branded with Qin Mubai, and no one can erase it! ...It's a pity, it's lamentable, it's respectable!"
