Why
Don’t you have any idea
Qishan's eyes made Kang Shi furious.
He wanted to immediately use his eloquence to scold Qi Shan and let his cousin know what "generational suppression" meant, but he stopped abruptly when the words he wanted to say came to the tip of his tongue. His face vividly portrayed the colorful black.
Qi Shan smiled innocently: "What does Ji Shou want to say?"
"I, I, you..."
Kang Shi endured it again and again, but finally he was defeated.
But in his heart, he took note of his wronged cousin. Is Tan Lezheng really abominable? Or is Yuanliang pure and kind and can be deceived...
Oh no, pure, kind and considerate.
Qi Shan added: "Ji Shou's scholarly ways should be used properly when they are needed, otherwise it would be a waste, wouldn't it?"
The only thing he didn't say explicitly was that Kang Shi had no chance of military achievement.
Kang Shi: “…”
At this time, the Lord jumped out to save Kang Shi's reputation. Shen Tang scolded Qi Shan in a bad mood: "What nonsense is Yuan Liang talking about? The way of scholars is only used in the wrong place, not useless. Ji Shou is sacrificing his own self for the sake of the greater self, do you understand?"
Kang Shi: “…”
My lord, you'd better not say anything.
Is this how he uses his scribe skills
Among all the people present, only Gu Chi understood his sadness.
The jokes succeeded in breaking up the serious atmosphere in front of the battle. Even those who didn't like to laugh couldn't help laughing or had a little smile in their eyes. Since the attack on Nanyu County, Shen Tang began to prepare for the battle. After Beishang County, everything was ready, except for the selection of generals. Shen Tang randomly picked an auspicious day for breaking ground and moving graves, built a platform for selecting generals, and offered sacrifices to the flags before the battle.
The weather was fine, and the wind was blowing and the sky was overcast.
In this era, everything we do has a sense of ritual.
Going on an expedition is no exception.
In general, three animals are used as sacrifices, either pigs, cows, and sheep, or chickens, fish, and pigs, depending on the local customs. This is used to worship the gods and pray for good luck and success in military operations. Of course, it would be better to have the heads of enemies.
At the same time, it achieves the purpose of boosting the morale of the three armed forces.
Shen Tang, dressed in red and silver armor, slowly stepped onto the stage to select generals. He turned his gaze to the audience below the stage. He saw the three armies in neat uniforms, as if they were one body, with resolute eyes. Although silent, murderous intent was brewing in silence. This was a sharp knife that had not yet been truly sharpened.
She nodded with satisfaction.
All I could hear was the flags fluttering in the wind.
"Do you know what day it is today?"
Although the sixteen-year-old Shen Tang had passed the voice change period, his voice was still not deep and did not sound "dignified" in the traditional sense. If you closed your eyes and listened carefully, you would think he was a handsome boy from a noble family. However, the soldiers and generals below the stage did not dare to be disrespectful.
The lord is not at all weak when fighting in the martial arts arena.
Bai Su said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "The day of revenge."
Shen Tang smiled and said, "Yes, the day of revenge."
She raised her sword and lifted the red cloth covering the offerings. In addition to the three animals and their blood, there were two heads that smelled slightly rotten. Because of the rough preservation methods, the heads did not look that fresh.
"Do you know who these two heads belong to?"
Bai Su said: "It's the enemy."
Shen Tang did not agree with her this time.
"No, they are sacrifices sent by the enemy!"
"It is precisely because they are sacrifices that they are here today. They—" Shen Tang pointed the tip of her sword at the head. She did not need to raise her voice deliberately. She only needed to sink her Qi into her Dantian and use the martial energy to bless her. Then, she could use the wind to transmit her voice clearly to everyone's ears. "They plundered the food we worked so hard to grow, destroyed the fertile land we diligently opened up, and slaughtered the common people we worked hard to protect. They made four or five hundred households wear mourning clothes! The cries spread all over the place! What do you think, should they die?"
"Should!"
"Should!"
"Should!"
This time, it was not Bai Su who responded to her, but the three armies below the stage. They spoke in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.
Shen Tang waited for their voices to fall, and under his seemingly calm face, a strong fighting spirit surged: "They really deserve to die! But they are not the only ones who deserve to die! Who is the culprit of all this? He is still in Sibao County! He comfortably enjoys the food we have spent so much effort to grow, and smugly laughs at our incompetence! Gentlemen, are you really cowardly and incompetent, and afraid of fighting?"
"Don't be timid, don't be afraid!"
"Don't be timid, don't be afraid!"
"Don't be timid, don't be afraid!"
Shen Tang took a deep breath, raised his hand and slashed off the hair of the two heads with a sword: "I am not afraid, I am willing to fight with you!"
"I am willing to fight with my lord!"
Tu Rong in the audience blushed with excitement.
He raised his weapon high, shouted with all his might, and even broke his voice for a few words, but no one laughed at him. Instead, they shouted together: We are willing to fight with the Lord! The shouts of killing shook the heavens, and morale rose again. Perhaps it was the blood rushing to their heads, or perhaps it was the unanimous infection of the three armies, and they were eager to put their lives aside and immediately rushed to Qiu Cheng to grab a wave of military merits.
Shen Tang: "Destroy Sibao County!"
"Trash Sibao County!"
They didn't stop.
Waves, louder than the last, roared and spread out.
Even the dark clouds under the sky trembled.
Shen Tang said excitedly: "Capture Qiu Wenyan alive!"
"Capture Qiu Wenyan alive!"
Shen Tang simply ignored the long speech required for the flag-off ceremony. All the soldiers in the audience were illiterate. Even if she asked someone to write a ghostwriting for her, no matter how gorgeous and passionate it was, people would not understand it. It would be better to use plain language that they all understood.
Below the stage, Qi Shan looked dazed.
It took him a while to come back to his senses.
Taking advantage of the gap, he whispered to Chu Yao.
"Why did I feel that she was kind and quiet back then?"
Chu Yao glanced at him calmly: "You are blind."
Qi Shan asked back, “Aren’t you the same?”
Chu Yao was not afraid at all: "I am also blind."
Qishan: “…”
Sincerity is indeed the greatest killer move.
He exhaled a breath of foul air, looked at the young master on the stage, who was full of vigor and ambition, and raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips: "Is that a blind cat meeting a dead mouse?"
"You are a blind cat, but the lord is not a dead mouse." Chu Yao frowned. It was such an auspicious day, but he spoke in such an unlucky way.
There is no need to go into details about the conversation between the civil and military officials on the stage.
Shen Tang pulled out a scroll and opened it casually.
The above is the list of players that have already been decided.
She appointed herself the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
At the same time, most of the family assets were taken out.
The only surprise was that Gong Shuwu stayed behind to look after the house.
This move prevented Qiu Cheng or Qiu Cheng's reinforcements from switching positions. As for the main force of the generals attacking the battlefield -
Haha, she does it herself!
Unless Qiu Cheng has a brave warrior of Gong Xichou's level under his command, otherwise, he will defeat her all the way!
The command of the main force was handed over to two veterans recommended by Chu Jie.
The first battle was in Linshan County.
Kang Jishou, as a military strategist and scholar, worked with Xian Yujian and a veteran general, leading 2,000 troops to provide interference, coordinate flexibly, and launch feint attacks to confuse firepower.
Lin Feng was also assigned at the same time.
Ensure the supply of food and fodder for this army.
The remaining main force did not play tricks and headed straight for Linshan County.
"Three armies, move out!"
