I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Night is falling, and the wind is bleak.

The army led by Gulha stopped at this time and stopped retreating. He retreated this way, and simply did not dare to stop, because once he stopped, he was worried that he would be covered and killed.

If he gets caught up, he can’t escape.

So I have been running away.

Everyone rests on the spot, but the cold wind blows, and each stomach rumbling with hunger is very uncomfortable.

Lan Jiuzhen has caught up with Gulha and is also by Gulha’s side. He ordered the soldiers to light up the fire quickly and lit the torch. Everyone, warm up around the fire.

After the soldiers settled down, Lan Jiuzhen began to count the number of people. After checking it out, Lan Jiu was really connected, completely black. There was no other reason. The loss was too great this time. There were only more than 800 people who escaped with them.

All of them are exhausted.

He even looked pale.

It’s not easy to escape all the way during the day.

Lan Jiuzhen walked to Gulha’s side, he sat down and burned, and said, “The king, there are only more than 800 soldiers who escaped with him. Our loss is enormous. . Under the current circumstances, it can only be withdrawn directly. But even so, it is still necessary for the king to stabilize the military and stabilize the hearts of all people. This is a top priority.”

The current army is already Senseless.

All the soldiers are worried. Under such circumstances, the situation is quite critical. Once handled properly, the military will continue to collapse, and even mutiny may be possible.

Gulha nodded.

Gulha’s face is even paler now.

He not only experienced the pain of losing his son, but also experienced the disastrous defeat of the army, and also had to face the subsequent crisis of Mingguo. He had to consider the subsequent threat of Du Qi. So at the moment, Gulha is the person most affected.

Gulha has a solemn expression, he has turned his grief and anger into strength, and there is already only revenge left.

He wants to avenge his son.

Even if he gave everything, he would not hesitate.

Gulha stood up and came to the center of the gathering of eight hundred soldiers. He looked at everyone and said directly: “Jiro, this battle, we lost, we lost very miserably. It’s miserable. The king’s son is dead, and the Crown Prince of the Great Ming country is dead.”

“There are even countless brothers who died on the battlefield.”

“In addition to this, there are also people who have become captives.”

“All of this is a great loss for us, and it is an irreparable loss. This king is also sad for this. , I feel even more sigh for this.”

Gulha’s eyes are sharp, said solemnly: “The matter has ended, it has already happened, it is useless to feel sad and immerse in the Sea of ​​Bitterness. Yes. What we have to do now is to take revenge and revenge.”

“If you don’t kill Du Qi, you will never give up.”

“Du Qi’s people say it is true, saying What the king is desperate to fight, even let the king surrender.”

“His words are irrational.”

“Once we surrender, we are slaves of the country. All the people It seems to be a benefit, but everyone can’t lift their heads up, and they can’t stand up straight to do things.”

Gulha said solemnly: “You are in Ming, but you are steadfast. Life. But when you are in Xia Country, you can only live a life of trembling with fear. Are you willing to live like this with your family?”

The eight hundred soldiers heard the words, Frown slightly.

It is true that the soldiers have been affected by Luo Binwang’s propaganda before, but many people are still loyal to Ming.

After all, this is my own country.

Of course, if it is not affected, it is impossible.

But at the moment, following what Gulha said, many people’s hearts were touched, and many people’s hearts recognized. Because no one wants to be a slave to the country, no one wants to live trembling with fear.

Gulha was silent for a moment, and when all the soldiers settled down, he said again: “You more than 800 soldiers are the ones who really escaped with me. You are all warriors on the battlefield. And heroes. Because of you, you have persisted to the end. When you return to Hongshan County and the capital, you will all be rewarded.”

“Everyone returned to the army, they were promoted one by one, and all were promoted one by one. Use it.”

“This is what you deserve.”

“Originally, when we were fighting before, this king said that there are great rewards for killing the enemy in this battle. Now, Naturally, I want to reward you. Although these rewards will come later, they are the king’s mind.”

Gulha said: “This king wants you to know that this king does things, always The rewards and punishments are distinct. If you make a meritorious service, you will be rewarded and rewarded, and you will not betray your trust.”

“Long live the king!”

800 Among the soldiers, someone suddenly shouted.

This was moved by the award mentioned by Gulha, who wanted to get promoted.

“Long live the king!”

“Long live the king!”

……

The rest of the soldiers also chanted.

The original noisy shouts gradually unified and gradually became neat. All voices are one voice. All the people are high-spirited, and they are no longer as sloppy and listless as before.

The so-called wealth is touching.

After fighting, especially after losing, everyone has lost their fighting spirit. Encouraged by interests, everyone regained their spirits. After all, they have gotten rid of the pursuit, and the next step is to return.

As long as I return to the county seat, everything is fine.

They can be rewarded.

Gulha looked at the scene before him, his mind turned, and suddenly seemed to be a little touched. He felt that he suddenly seemed to have grasped the knack of fighting Du Qi this time.

He is already not in almost everything.

His son is dead, Mingguo has no heir, everything about him is meaningless.

All thoughts are revenge.

He just wants revenge.

In order to inspire people, especially the scene before him, Gulha thinks that as long as he is to give a great reward, as long as he is willing to spend all the remaining money, he is willing to give a great reward to his soldiers, even if he is Du Qi is here to fight, he is also capable of fighting.

Next, he did so.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Naturally some people are willing to fight.

Gulha allowed the soldiers to shout, and after a long time, he recovered. Everyone’s eyes looked towards Gulha again, waiting for Gulha to continue speaking.

Gulha continued: “My brothers, we have been fighting with Du Qi continuously, and it is indeed a great loss. However, please rest assured that we will fight with Du Qi next, not just us , There will be other forces involved.”

“At that time, I will turn to the rest of the forces and other countries for help.”

“So we have enough strength.”

” p>

Gulha said solemnly: “This is our confidence to contend with Du Qi. As long as we persist, everything will be victorious. Although we have lost consecutive battles, please remember that we don’t We will always lose, we won’t always lose.”

“Kill!”

Gulha clenched his fists and shouted.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

All eight hundred soldiers shouted together.

The shout of Kill Kill Kill reverberates in the night sky constantly. With this kind of voice, it gradually gained cohesion and battle strength.

Everyone wants to kill the enemy and do meritorious service.

Because Gulha will not treat them badly next, this is what they like most.

Gulha smiled more on his face.

Although his body is very uncomfortable. Although his body is already exhausted. Even his spirit is sluggish. But at this moment, Gulha felt very relieved.

Because the soldiers under his command have the power of a battle, they can still follow the dispatch.

This is his opportunity.

His chance of revenge.

Gulha waited quietly, letting the soldiers shout. After a long time, all the soldiers stopped shouting. At this time, the eyes of all the soldiers looked towards Gulha were more pious, joyful and excited.

Gulha instructed: “Well, the night is deep, everyone is leaning on the fire, closing their eyes and resting. We will cultivate a little bit and regain our spirits before we can start on the road and return home earlier. All.”

“Yes!”

All the soldiers answered together.

All the people have been stabilized, and they have no more worry.

At this time, Gulha’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit suddenly relaxed, even more exhausted. He returned to Lan Jiuzhen’s side, and after sitting down, he started to cough. No way, the previous hysterical shouts involved the whole body, and the whole person was quite uncomfortable.

“Cough! Cough!!!”

Gulha kept coughing.

After a long while, Gulha recovered, but he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Gulha looked towards Lan Jiuzhen, and said, “Lan Qing, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on for long. You said, can I still take revenge for Chengye?”

Lan Jiuzhen said: “My lord, you have been worrying too much. You have never rested now, and you are a little uncomfortable because of the sadness of the passing of Crown Prince. Waiting for you to make adjustments. Fan will recover.”

Gulha smiled, shook the head.

He knows his own body.

From the very beginning of the battle with Du Qi, he was bombarded. Later, Zhang Ji died and his mind was even more affected. Now this time the war, especially the death of Gu Chengye, has caused Gulha to suffer an unprecedented blow.

This is the most uncomfortable for Gulha.

Lan Jiuzhen continued: “My lord, what you said just now is truly brilliant. After a few words, morale has been completely reversed. Look at the soldiers, there is no more decadence, and then It’s not like what it used to be. Now, they already have battle strength. So we can still fight a battle next.”

Gulha said: “I know it’s a fight. Fighting is just in the present. This cannot be accomplished overnight. It will take a certain amount of time to completely reverse the military spirit. Therefore, the king has some ideas at the moment.”

Lan Jiuzhen said: “Great King What do you plan to do?”

Gulha said solemnly: “My plan is to seek help from the Fire Country.”

The Fire Country is located to the east of the Ming Country.

The Ming State of Gulha was once the area of ​​Wakada County and a part of Ming State. And this fire country, in fact, used to be the border of Mingzhou and the area where Hua County was located.

The prefect of Hua County took advantage of the chaos in Great Rome and took advantage of the situation. The reason why it was named Huoguo was because the prefect of Huajun was named Chen Can, who caused fire when he hit. A master said that it takes fire to last, so it was named Huoguo.

Chen Can’s strength is not only in Hua County, but also in Xizhou to the east of Mingzhou.

Chen Can’s strength far exceeds that of Gulha.

Be aware that Gulha is known as Ming Kingdom, but in fact, the entire Mingzhou is split into several countries. He is mainly in that’s all in Wakada County.

When Lan Jiuzhen heard that, the complexion was greatly changed, and he quickly said: “Great King, no! We and Huo Nation have hatred. In the past, Chen Can sent troops several times to capture Wakada. In the county, the two sides fought several times. Chen Can eventually returned in low spirits after failing. This time, if you ask Chen Can for help, don’t you mean to admit to him?”

Gulha said: “Lan Qing, now that the king is now, already not in is about this. What about the hatred, as long as Chen Can can avenge me, even if I let the king kneel down in front of him, it doesn’t hurt. Even, Even if you let the king submit to him, it doesn’t matter. So as long as he sends troops, everything will be fine.”

Lan Jiuzhen frowned.

He doesn’t like this, and he doesn’t want Gulha to be poignant, because it concerns the future of Mingguo.

Lan Jiuzhen said: “My lord, you still have to think twice. Of course, when it comes to this matter, the minister thinks that after returning to the capital, he should discuss with the prime minister. The prime minister is best at To analyze the situation, the Prime Minister, after analyzing it, consider the follow-up strategy. As for whether to return to the Fire Nation, consider it later.”

Gulha shook his head and said, “Lan Qing, I will I’ll ask you the simplest question. Now Mingguo, um, our Wakada County, can we still withstand Du Qi’s army attack? I have boosted morale in front of all the soldiers. Even, I Back in the capital, you can also use rewards to recruit soldiers. But can you really resist it?”

“Difficult!”

Lan Jiuzhen also nodded and answered,

This thing does indeed exist, and it can’t be resisted by brazenly saying it can be resisted.

If you can stop it, it’s not like the present situation.

Xia Country is too strong.

Gulha sighed and said, “Yes, it is already difficult to resist Du Qi based on our strength alone. Even more how, is to take revenge, to deal with Du Qi. So. , I can only seek foreign aid. I know that Chen Can has always wanted to annex us and occupy Wakada County so that he can successfully attack Du Qi’s area. Therefore, I am willing to submit to him now. The premise is that as long as he can destroy Du Qi, give me revenge.”

Lan Jiu really sighed.

He knows the reason why Gulha did this. Everything is because Gu Chengye died. If Gu Chengye is still alive, this is not the case, and Gulha will insist no matter how much.

At the moment, it’s impossible.

Lan Jiu really knows that he can’t persuade, and he also knows that Gulha’s analysis is actually the most reasonable.

There is no choice right now.

This can only be done.

Lan Jiuzhen nodded, said: “The king, the minister supports your decision. Next, we will choose to use the strength of the fire country. After returning to the capital, we will discuss with the prime minister. The minister is willing to go to Huoguo by himself and ask Chen Can for help.”

“Okay!”

Gulha was busy nodded.

He seriously said: “Lan Qing, thank you.”

Lan Jiuzhen said: “You will be out of sight, and it will be a shameless minister. These things are all It’s what the minister should do.”

Gulha said: “Well, don’t talk nonsense, take a rest early. Tomorrow morning, we will rush directly to the capital. Then, discuss the next plan. .”

“Yes!”

Lan Jiuzhen said no more.

He got close to the fire, but he glanced at Gulha with the foresight. Gulha, who was no longer talking, fell silent, as if he was full of lifelessness. Feeling heavy.

He knows clearly that what supports Gulha is the belief in revenge. Without this enthusiasm, Gulha might have been unable to hold on to fall.

Lan Jiu really sighed, then stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes and rested.
