    When he first woke up in this era, Lu Yao often looked up to the so-called big names who seemed to be in the clouds, and was full of awe for those names that stirred up the world and even left in the records of history.  Perhaps, it stems from the lack of self-confidence of ordinary people; or perhaps, it stems from the sense of powerlessness in the face of the surging historical tide.  However, when this awe collided with the strong belief deep in Lu Yao's heart, it quickly disappeared.  What followed was the grand ambition of "he can take his place", the ambition of "a man who is as determined as iron even to the point of death, just try his hand and mend the cracks in the sky".  Lu Yao was driven by this ambition to move forward bravely, fighting his way through a desperate confrontation with countless jackals and tigers.  Along the way, Jinyang fought against the Xiongnu, Yecheng fought against the evil bandits, Daijun defeated the barbarians, and Bashang defeated the Xianbei The remnants of the Eastern Wu Dynasty and the little military leader of Bingzhou have defeated countless so-called big shots.  The reputation of General Pingbei was built on the blood and bones of the losers.  And on this bloody road, only Shi Le repeatedly battled wits and courage with him, and suffered repeated defeats.  When the tens of thousands of troops under the command of the Pingbei Army became a huge variable in turning things around, Shi Le was still the same Shi Le, the terrifying hero who was extremely rare in thousands of history books. In the following years, the people of China were bleeding and drifting.  Pestle, the biggest murderer with a mountain of bones!  How can one not feel excited when fighting against such an opponent?  Lu Yao is full of pride and calm calculation.  Analyzing the current situation, he understood that every move of the Youji Allied Forces since they crossed the river had fallen into Shi Le's plan.  The fall of the Donghai King's shogunate caused the Youzhou and Ji armies to lose their common goal; Lu Jun's specious wish for peace affected the Youzhou army's general's determination to fight; and his status as an envoy further aroused the Jizhou generals' unwillingness to fight.  Appropriate association; at the same time, the Youzhou Army's behavior of secretly sheltering the King of the East China Sea was discovered by them, which even made some Jizhou generals have evil thoughts During the whole process, the Central Plains bandits did not make any particularly subtle moves, but  The stagnant situation of the thieves and bandits itself left enough time and space for the conflicts between the Youji coalition forces to intensify.  At this moment, the Jizhou Army rebelled on a large scale, and the two armies fought fiercely. Even if the Youzhou Army was able to suppress the rebellion, it would suffer a lot of damage.  In Shi Le's eyes, the situation of the defeated army of the King of the East China Sea was probably like the meat in the cauldron being finally cooked, ready for a pack of wolves to tear it apart and share it.  The army of thieves and bandits did not move even slightly, but they easily pushed the Youji Allied Forces into a desperate situation. It can be said that they were well-planned and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away.  Lu Yao felt that even if he doubled his strategy ten times, he still wouldn't be able to accomplish such a brilliant plan.  I don't know if Shi Le is getting more powerful or if he has recruited some strange people to be able to do this.  However, Lu Yao was not afraid at all.  As long as the bandits from the Central Plains dare to come, Lu Yao will dare to fight with them.  As a warrior, he firmly believes that all the enemy's plans can eventually be reversed on the battlefield; life and death are ultimately decided by the sword!  The head of Wating City.  Ma Zeming unfolded a volume of letters and read them repeatedly.  There were more than a dozen military officers on his left and right. Although more than half of them were injured, they were standing attentively and breathlessly, but their momentum did not diminish at all.  When the Youzhou army crossed the river, they killed Wang Yan, the brave general under Wang Mi who was stationed at Wating, and sent Mai Zeming to lead an elite attack on Wating, seizing this hub that controlled the upstream and downstream of the Pu Canal and guarded the road on the north bank of Yangqing Lake.  In the following days, General Pingbei led the Youzhou army to attack the main force of the bandits many times. With Wating City in hand, he always maintained the initiative on the battlefield.  But the pressure on the Wating garrison was also heavy.  Wating is a small city. The city wall is no more than a mile in circumference and no more than ten feet high.  Now there are cracks everywhere on the city wall, and many sections have collapsed, barely held up by wooden palisades by the defenders.  Both the city walls and the gaps were covered with bloodstains, and uncollected corpses were scattered everywhere.  Obviously, compared to the Jie thieves under Shi Le who were good at field combat, the Central Plains thieves who fought against them were better at attacking cities and plundering territory. Under the attack of the Central Plains thieves, more than 1,200 Youzhou soldiers who accompanied Maizeming to defend the city  Among the elite, there are now less than a thousand who retain combat capabilities.  Wating is only thirty miles away from the Youji Allied Forces camp. When the rebels rose up in the evening, they were so loud and the fire was soaring into the sky. All the soldiers in the city watched and heard, and they were all secretly worried.  An hour later, the military envoy Qi Ye arrived and told Jizhou General Bo Sheng about the rebellion, and ordered all the troops to guard their posts to avoid being taken advantage of.  The officers and soldiers in the city hurriedly reorganized the city defense. While they were in a hurry, the second military envoy came galloping over.  This time, I came with a military order saying: The rebels are temporarily difficult to control. All units in the army are preparing for war.  Since such a military order was issued, it proves that the situation in the camp is already quite bad!  While all the soldiers were looking at each other in shock, a third military envoy rushed over. This time he brought a letter written by Pingbei General Lu Yao.  People in the army are usually illiterate.Therefore, orders in the military are mostly delivered orally, which is simple and clear even when written down.  However, Ma Zeming was born as a general in northern Xinjiang and had both civil and military qualifications, so Lu Yao specially wrote the order in handwriting to show his solemnity.  There is no flashy rhetoric in the letter. First, he talks a few words and truthfully explains the complex situation currently faced and the inference of the future war situation. Then he explains that he is determined to put down the rebellion in the shortest possible time, reorganize the Youji Allied Forces, and then fight the Central Plains bandits.  For this reason, Maizeming's troops needed to prevent the southern bandit army from moving northward at all costs. It was not until noon that they were allowed to open the road and retreat on their own.  During this period, Daying was unable to provide any assistance.  The last few sentences of the letter were written hastily and neatly: "Perhaps the chief culprit will be crowned the leader, and he will build a legacy that will be praised for eternity; or he will be defeated and die, leaving no one alive in our robes. This is a critical moment. Wating is blocking the enemy's mission.  It¡¯s not unimportant; where to go, please work hard, general.¡± Mai Zeming read the letter twice and handed it to his deputy. The deputy read it and passed it on to the next person.  Someone quietly explained the words in the letter so that everyone could understand its meaning.  There was silence on the city platform, except for the crackling sound of burning pine torches.  After a long while, a voice said bitterly: "This battle is so difficult" In the past few days, Mai Zeming's troops defended the city and repelled several attacks by bandits, but this was at Lu Yao's headquarters.  With the army supporting and responding to it.  With only a thousand troops and a small city in front of you, do you want to block the surging offensive of the bandits?  This is simply an order to send Maize Ming¡¯s troops to death.  Most of the generals and commanders of Mai Zeming¡¯s headquarters who were present were the children of his hometown who had followed him for generations and were related by blood to each other¡¯s families; some of them were also generals under Wang Jun¡¯s Youzhou shogunate, and they had known Ma Zeming for a long time.  Therefore, these people have never scrupled with their words.  "There are only a thousand people in the city now, right? How many thieves are there? Yesterday I heard them shouting that there were fifty thousand!" "That's a claim! Bragging! Can you believe it?" "There is not fifty thousand, there are always more than ten thousand, right? I still  I heard that Wang Mi's troops are coming in this direction, and they are probably arriving soon How do we fight? " Wang Mi is the leader of the bandits in the Central Plains. He is known as the "Flying Leopard" and is known for his ferocity and cunning.  In the past few years, he has been rampaging across the four states of Qingxu, Yanyu and Henan, overthrowing the army and killing countless generals, and his reputation shocked the world.  If he leads his army into battle, he will really have the power to overwhelm Mount Tai.  Everyone was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.  After a while, the first general looked at Ma Zeming's face and said: "General Lu's camp is only thirty miles away from us. Let's send people back immediately to ask for reinforcements. If the reinforcements come quickly, they will arrive in Chenshi. It doesn't take much,  It would be nice to have two thousand people" "Bah! Where are the two thousand people with you? Look at the fire in the direction of the camp in the north! The camp is in chaos now. General Lu wants to put down the rebellion, and there is no reinforcement.  "How to fight this battle? You tell me!" Everyone was suddenly silent again.  They looked at each other in disbelief, and a thought emerged uncontrollably in their minds: Did General Lu regard the Wating defenders as abandoned sons?  "What nonsense are you talking aboutListen to General Mai! We will do whatever General Mai says!" someone said sternly.  What is hidden in these words is somewhat intriguing.  However, as soon as these words were spoken, several people immediately sneered in unison: "Don't think too much, General Mai you have to listen to the lord!" Half of the troops in Wating City are passed by Lu Yao  The elite troops under the command of Ma Zeming were temporarily assigned to them after Dahe.  This force was formed in Dai County, with Lu Yao's old Bingzhou Army as its backbone officers. It can be called a direct lineage, with outstanding fighting will and loyalty.  At this time, these officers held their swords in their hands, which immediately made all the generals afraid to talk nonsense.  Seeing this situation, Mai Zeming sighed to himself.  It has not been more than a year since Wang Pengzu's Youzhou shogunate fell.  Although Lu Yao used strong military power to subdue the powerful forces in northern Xinjiang, the barriers between the old and new armies were not easily resolved, and the minds of the soldiers were even less united.  Now that I think about it, the Youzhou Army itself has not been able to achieve unity, so Lu Daoming expected that the Youzhou and Hebei armies could cooperate seamlessly. That was indeed too optimistic.  However, the Donghai King Shogunate was still there at that time, and the situation in the Central Plains was not out of control. All the above problems were not originally a problem.  Who would have thought that the King of the East China Sea and his men would be so incompetent that the reinforcements would cross the river and the hundreds of thousands of shogunate soldiers would disappear Just as he was helpless with the mood of the generals on both sides, he suddenly heard someone from the outside saying in a deep voice: "  We can fight, but we can't defend the city. "We're outnumbered. How can we go out and fight in the field if we don't defend the city?"  Just as he was about to say something else, Ma Zeming glared at him and signaled to shut up.  "Old Song, tell me, why can't you defend the city?" Ma Zeming immediately asked the person who spoke.  He is called Lao SongHe is a weathered old soldier, about fifty or sixty years old.  It was Song He who was praised by General Pingbei for his effective command during the battle across the river.  Ma Zeming is a good judge of circumstances. Since Lu Yao valued this old soldier, he found a reason to promote him to the position of Governor of a Hundred People the day before yesterday.  Therefore, they are eligible to participate in military meetings.  No matter what environment he is in, Song Hye always looks dull.  Hearing Ma Zeming's inquiry, he said slowly: "Although Wating is an important transportation road, there is no terrain to support it. If we sit and defend the city, the bandits only need to use partial troops to siege the city, and the main force can march northward in a brazen manner.  In other words, if the bandits want to leave, it will be useless for us to defend the city; if the bandits want to attack, we will not be able to defend the city Therefore, defending the city will definitely not work. " "Then what should we do?  "General Pingbei's purpose is not to stop the enemy, but to delay the enemy." Song He took a piece of firewood and pointed on the ground: "Ten miles to the east are Puqu and Yang."  The intersection of Qinghu is a place where bandits must pass. The terrain there is narrow, and there are wide swamps on both sides of the road. The reeds are deep and muddy, which is not conducive to fighting with the army. However, we can distribute our troops in the swamps and repeatedly harass the bandits.  We can also lure the bandits into the depths of the swamp and annihilate them. If everything goes well, we should be able to entangle the bandits there for a long time, enough to meet General Lu's requirements." Mai Zeming nodded: "The bandits will not move.  "Hold on, if you want to intercept there, you have to start immediately." The general hesitated and said, "That swamp is full of deep pools and pits. It's very dangerous. It's even more dangerous to go there at night because you can't see clearly."  We haven't seen the enemy yet, so we should sacrifice a hundred lives first." Song He glanced at him and said, "These hundred lives are just the beginning. When we fight in the daytime, our troops are dispersed and it is difficult to mobilize in the swamp.  It is easy to be surrounded and divided by bandits. Even if we win this battle, at least hundreds of lives will be lost. On the other hand, the people sitting in Wating can survive as long as the bandits don't attack the city  Are you willing to sit guard in the city and beg the bandits for mercy?" The hesitant general retreated with a look of shame on his face.  "The military situation is urgent, we don't need to discuss it anymore. Just do what Lao Song said." Ma Zeming stood up with emotion.  He looked at several generals on one side and said in a deep voice: "On the day when Ruyuan was defeated, many of us were frightened by the power of the lord, so we had to surrender. To be honest, after that, I often worried that the lord favored one and favored others.  We, the people of Youzhou, cannot treat each other equally. However, everyone should see how much the lord trusted us. Based on the current situation, if the lord does not regard us as a trustworthy force, will he give us such an important task?  " He took off the ring-headed sword from his waist, held it tightly in his hand, and continued: "Since the Han Dynasty, I, Youzhou, have been the place where elite soldiers come from. Youzhou's men have been the country's chief city for generations.  Although the situation is delicate at this moment, it is a good time for a man to make contributions! Please don¡¯t live up to the honor of your fathers and ancestors, and don¡¯t live up to the lord¡¯s kindness.¡± He turned and looked at the other side: ¡°Although we have only followed the lord for a short time,  My confidence and loyalty to him are the same as yours. My lord has been victorious and conquered every battle since he started his army. It is my honor to follow my lord to challenge the powerful enemy. " He Qiang Ran.  He drew his sword and cut a bloody gash on his left arm. He looked around at everyone with piercing eyes: "In this battle, I am determined to complete the mission entrusted to me by my lord, regardless of sacrifice or cost." All the generals around me drew their swords together, cutting their arms and bleeding:  "I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"
