    The Hall of Immortals was filled with sobs. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that the Queen Mother had passed away.  +¡ô The Empress Dowager was sitting behind the desk as usual, with her back leaning on the soft pillow.  Her snow-white hair was combed into a spotless style, with a black wooden hairpin pinned to her head.  The bright red palace dress is embroidered with gold thread, which makes it especially festive when worn on the body.  If it weren't for the somewhat darkened face, no one would believe that this was a person who had been sentenced to death by the imperial doctor.  "The men of the Dou family are so promising! What's wrong with me just lying on the ground crying and returning the tiger talisman to the emperor? It belongs to the Emperor of Han Dynasty, but it's your turn to come here to cry? Don't forget it, you worshiped me  Not only is she your aunt, she is also the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty. She has protected you all these years, but she has made you fat and bold, and you dare to have all kinds of ideas.  How wonderful, what do you want to do? Do you want the Dou family to become the Lu family? You all live in luxury and wealth, and you never told me how your grandfather died when you were alive.  During the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, our family had no food left. Your grandparents and I were living in poverty at that time.  That time our family had nothing to eat for two days, the crops died of drought, the birds and animals ran away, all the wild vegetables were dug, and the wild fruits were all gone. Your grandfather had no choice but to go into the mountain streams and pools to catch fish. As a result he fell into the mountain stream alive.  Falling to death. A few years later, your grandmother also went there. Later, the chief security officer said that the village wanted to send a girl to the palace to serve the emperor. No one was willing to let the girl go, but your aunt took the initiative to do so.  Just to save some food for the family. That year, I was only thirteen years old! I still remember the afternoon when I left home. I finally made a meal for my brother and washed my brother¡¯s hairbut I didn¡¯t finish it.  "I was dragged onto the bullock cart by the palace servants." The sunken eyes of the Empress Dowager seemed to have seen the scene, and two lines of muddy tears fell silently.  The Dou family¡¯s nephews stopped sobbing. They seemed to owe this aunt too much.  There is actually a limit to family affection. If you overdraw without limit, sooner or later you will go bankrupt.  They have overdrafted too much, and the family relationship with the Empress Dowager has long been bankrupt.  There was silence in the Immortal Palace.  For a long time, the Empress Dowager said: "I'm tired, go back and take care of yourself." The morning mist slowly dissipated, and Ou Zhenming happily looked forward to the arrival of his reinforcements.  There are a total of ten thousand people, all of whom are strong and capable soldiers.  Dongou's land is small and the population is poor. It is not easy to recruit more than 10,000 strong men.  He knew that his eldest brother had done his best to help him.  Looking at the deep canyon, Ou Zhenming revealed a sinister smile.  As long as you hold this mountain pass, even if you have millions of troops, they still won't be able to get through.  Wei Qing was equally troubled.  The scouting war in the mountains continues.  The elite Qimen Yulin was also exhausted by such brutal battles, and people came back with heads every day.  There are also people who will never come back, and their morale is getting lower day by day.  After more than a month of confrontation, the soldiers began to miss their hometown every time the silent night fell.  There are always soldiers singing hometown tunes, and at first they sing alone.  Then the whole camp hummed along, and finally the whole camp started chanting like wolves howling.  "General, this won't work! If this continues, soldiers will flee. Once such a thing happens, it will be impossible to stop it no matter how hard you try." The Lieutenant Colonel was a little anxious.  Although two thousand Dongou rural farmers were killed.  Report their heads to the court.  But morale is getting lower day by day, and the winter in Jiangnan ruthlessly tortures these people sleeping in the wild.  The slightest chill is more torturous than the killings on the battlefield.  "It's coming, there will be a turn of events soon. Maybe in a few days, we will be able to pass through this canyon." Wei Qing said while looking at the listless soldiers in the military camp.  The Lieutenant Colonel did not dare to speak. He knew that the current situation could only wait.  There is almost no possibility of rushing through forcefully. If so, we may not have marched to the valley entrance.  The team has collapsed.  He didn't know where the general's confidence came from. Maybe this was just an excuse for a young man.  Yun Xiao held Wei Qing's sincere letter in his hand, and the little boy who was good at cutting meat with a dagger flashed in his mind.  Wei Qing was so well-behaved and smart back then, what made him become like this?  He was even capable of killing civilians to gain military merit, killing two thousand people at a time.  He looks like a big butcher.  In the end, a little butcher was created.  It has been two days since we entered Poyang Lake.  silence!  This is Yun Xiao's only evaluation of China's largest freshwater lake.  There are traces of looting everywhere on the shore of the lake, and there are almost no boats visible on the huge lake.   Thatched houses that were burned to ashes, and there were still unburied corpses and victims like walking corpses on the land by the lake.  This is all a good thing Gongsun Gui did, relying on the gunpowder prepared by Huo Yu.  The Poyang Lake water bandits who received the news were still wiped out.  When it comes to robbery, Mr. Gongsun has a rather unbiased attitude.  He made no distinction between the poor and the common people, the water bandits or the officers and soldiers.  As soon as he saw it, he would say a word before saying it.  When the Yun family¡¯s ship appeared on the water a hundred miles away in Poyang Lake, Gongsun Gui ran away resolutely.  When leaving, King Dongou didn't even say hello.  Ou Zhenfu in Dongou City never imagined that an army like tigers and wolves was rushing towards Dongou.  The robbery that lasted for one and a half months almost completely destroyed the entire Poyang Lake basin.  Both the official offices in Dongou and the Han Dynasty were all plundered by Gongsun Gui.  Tolerance officials were either killed or fled.  Yun Xiao set foot on the land of Dongou Kingdom very easily, without any resistance or welcome.  Even people were indifferent to the arrival of this army. What they cared about was whether the bark on the roadside was delicious.  Can some bamboo shoots be dug out in the bamboo forest?  Can I catch one more fish by the pond? Is there a wild vegetable growing in the field?  "Master Marquis, it has been found out. Gongsun Gui started to plunder the shores of Poyang Lake two months ago. Almost no chickens or dogs were left behind wherever he went. At first, he only plundered the Han territory, but later he even raided the territory of Dongou Kingdom.  Looting. It is said that our fleet is still a hundred miles away, so he fled south. The scouts are still checking where he has fled. I believe there will be a reply soon." Zhang Shisan stood in front of Yun Xiao, fully clothed.  , this guy has been in Jiangnan for many years.  Although we are in Dongting Lake, we know a lot about Poyang Lake.  In addition, most of his men were from Jiangnan, including many from Dongou, so they were quite handy at getting information.  "Ha! Ou Zhenfu raised a good dog, but he saw that the owner's time was short. So he grabbed a ticket and ran away. He deserves to be misfortune for raising such a dog that can cause trouble and cannot be peaceful. Let's go straight to Taimu Mountain.  , Let¡¯s kill the main force of Dongou Army first.¡± In Yunxiao¡¯s battle, we always focus on destroying the enemy¡¯s effective forces.  Although the Eastern European city was empty at this time, there were not many Dongou soldiers and generals there, and Ou Zhenfu would definitely not defend a city that he could not bear.  By doing this, Yun Xiao could only force Ou Zhen to flee far away.  Ou Zhenming will also lead troops into the mountains. They are all locals who are familiar with the area. It will be even more difficult to wipe out these tens of thousands of troops.  Marching all the way covertly, without any flags.  The people in Dongou didn't know where the army was, and even local officials came to work for the army.  Yun Xiao, of course, smiled and accepted such a sensible person, and even seized the gifts he brought.  Now there are more than 300 people in the prisoner camp, all officials and long-term followers of Dongou.  "Master Marquis, the scouts are here to report that they have found the Dongou Army camp fifty miles ahead. According to the map, it should be some kind of bird general Ou Zhenming who is facing off against Wei Qing." Little Bear reported to Yun Xiao.  Little Xiong, who had repeatedly gotten into trouble, could no longer lead troops. Yun Xiao kept Cang Xiong by his side because of his contribution.  Assist his fourth uncle Goshawk in managing things like scouting and security.  "Without learning or skills, that word is pronounced Yi. General Yiniao." Yun Xiao couldn't help but smile when he heard what he said about General Bird.  This guy must not know the word "yi".  "Master Hou, this Dongou man has a very strange name. He is a good general, and I heard he is the younger brother of King Dongou. Why is he given such a title? General Yiniao sounds like a birdman." "Shut up.  "It's no big deal to talk nonsense in front of the Marquis. Get out!" Cang Ying stopped and kicked Cang Xiong out.  "Master Marquis, Little Bear has a vulgar temperament" "Well, after all these years, you still need to tell me. It's easy to change a country's nature, so just don't let him lead troops in the future. He is still a fierce general when charging in battle. Let's talk about that bird.  General, I want to take advantage of the full moon tonight before he finds us. How about we rob him of the camp in the middle of the night?¡±  They are all facing the valley. Use gunpowder crossbows to destroy the outer perimeter and shoot them with crossbows. When the enemy troops are defeated, they can send cavalry to chase them. " Goshawk watched.  The scout drew back the defense map of the Eastern European Army and said thoughtfully.  "Hahaha, the Eagle has finally gained experience. This is how the Dongou Army has never seen gunpowder crossbows. A series of explosions will destroy their morale, as long as they escape. There is only one way to die. In the army, those who were defeated were killed.  There are always more people than those who can be killed. Call in Da Yuanjun and Fusang. I will assign tasks at midnight. We will attack the Eastern European Army camp first."  In front of Yun Xiao??, these 20,000 people are just scum.  If he brings these 10,000 Yun family and Hyogo soldiers, he can easily crush them into powder.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
