? "Emperoration?" Chen Shujian was a little surprised when he heard this. The Zhou army marched south to invade Yingzhou, Chen State in April this year. No manifesto was issued at that time. Later, there was no manifesto after provoking war again. Now that Yuwen Wen attacked Xisai Mountain, he would have an inexplicable manifesto for him.

After all, it was all the things that Chen Shuling, the dead King of Shixing, committed. If he had not attacked Xiyang City, Bazhou, the Zhou State in Jiangbei, at night at the beginning of the year, the Zhou army would not have used this as an excuse to retaliate against Chen State.

But then again, there is no shortage of excuses for the Zhou army to really want to launch troops to invade the south. Anyway, since the Zhou army captured the north of Chen State and Huainan three years ago, the two countries have been in a state of war, and the issue of undeclared war is not a problem at all.

"What did it say above?" Uncle Chen asked. Without guessing, he could know that the content of the manifesto would not sound good. He just wanted to know what the general intention was.

The messenger took out a roll of brocade from his arms and was about to serve him, but when he heard Chen Shujian say this, he was stunned. He looked at each other for a moment with the other two soldiers and whispered: "We are not very literate."

These days, almost all soldiers are illiterate, and not many of them can write their own names. Sometimes, in order to avoid leaks during the military information transmission, even the military information delivery is illiterate soldiers, so it is impossible for them to understand such acts of manifesto.

A follower took the brocade (proverb), opened it and looked at it, then his face changed drastically. Seeing this, Chen Shujian asked what was written on it. The follower kept saying that the content was unsightly. Zhou Jun asked the king not to take it seriously.

"Remember." Uncle Chen didn't care. Yuwen Wen's manifesto must have nothing good to say, but if he didn't even know the content, it would be a laughing stock.

"King, this manifesto is very rude..."

"read!"

After hearing this, the entourage coughed several times and held the manifesto and said, "Letter to Chen Shujian, the King of Changsha, Chen State..."

"At present, the State of Chen retreated to Jiangnan because of the unfavorable war and became a stray dog. If he had any self-knowledge, the Chen army should have been defending the city, castle and village according to the principle. However, you ignore the intention of the vast number of soldiers to cease the war. You blatantly sent assassins to Xiyang for assassination purely for the purpose of usurping the throne against Zhou, and staged a farce of serious humiliation, threatening and intimidating the military and civilians of Bazhou."

"You're every move to Bazhou this time is like finding two scoundrels who are urinating in front of others' doors, or like a trash who kicks a widow's door and digs out a grave."

"Repaying goodwill with goodwill and repaying reason with reason is the minimum morality of a member of the party. However, Chen Shujian, a scum, who is inferior to dogs, has no limit and commits the shameless act of buying an assassination."

"Although you covet the throne and have ambition, you did not dare to make trouble and observe the words and expressions when the late emperor and Shixing King Chen Shuling were alive. In the critical period when the new emperor ascended the throne, you think that the time has finally come and began to reveal your true form..."

The entourage stopped here and glanced at Chen Shujian. Seeing him looking at him expressionlessly, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. When he saw the other party signaling him to continue chanting, he swallowed his saliva and continued to chant:

"There is news that you take advantage of the opportunity of entering the palace to meet the emperor frequently, trying to show that you are a similar existence to the emperor, and use this to fantasize that you are the lord of the State of Chen."

"This time, you led your army westward, and you cleverly arranged your confidants to enter the army to control military power, gathered all kinds of outlaws in the army and were dissatisfied with the court, so as to avoid the military power of disobedience to the generals, or force them to lead the elderly, weak, sick and disabled to fight our army, so as to kill people by using a knife."

"I have ulterior motives and try to constantly provoke Zhou and Chen to control the military power on the front line. In order to control the military power of the military and political power, I will not hesitate to adopt vulgar and shameless behavior..."

"The assassin whom you sent to Xiyang City to assassinate has been captured alive by the soldiers and people in our city. Under the inspiration of righteousness, the two have confessed their many sins and attempts one by one..."

"I am the governor of Bazhou, Dazhou, Yu Wen Wen, solemnly declares to you that your conspiracy and tricks will end in failure. This time, I personally led a large army of water and land to Xisai Mountain, so I was shocked to let you return to the road..."

"If you are stubborn and continue to carry out the evil deeds of provoking war in order to monopolize military power and wait for an opportunity to launch a mutiny to usurp the throne, I will surely use the outbreak of a huge anger among the millions of soldiers and civilians in Bazhou to drive you into a land of no return."

The follower finished reading the manifesto with a sweaty head, and the surroundings were silent. Everyone hated why they didn't leave the scene on excuses before reading the manifesto. That one-legged bronze man, no, I don't know who made the manifesto by Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou of Zhou. The content was unbearable and cursed Uncle Chen so hard that he was bloody.

The key is that the writing is weird and the sentences are not very understandable. It would be fine if this Yuwen envoy was illiterate, but it would be not difficult to find someone to write for him. As a result, the content of the manifesto was filled with a strange atmosphere, but the weirdness could not be described in words.

It was sharp to curse people, but everyone did not dare to get involved in such a thing. Seeing that Chen Shujian's face turned pale, he quickly scolded Yuwen Wen, "This guy is rude, extremely rude."

Chen Shujian was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed to the sky. The laughter was chilling. Everyone else was silent and did not dare to say anything. After Chen Shujian laughed enough, he issued an order: "Beat the drum! Call the generals to discuss matters!"

......

On the side of Wei Yuankou, the broken Chen flag leaned against a carriage. It was surrounded by the bodies of the dead, most of which were soldiers who died in the battle of the Chen army. Several lonely war horses were walking on the battlefield. The saddles on their backs were empty, and the original owner had no idea of ​​life and death.

Several cavalrymen in black uniforms rode their horses slowly approached. Some of them threw whips and dismounted, slowly walked towards these unowned war horses, pulled the reins and gently stroked the horse's neck. The panicked war horse quickly calmed down and left with the new master.

By the river, Yuwen Shiwu squatted beside a war horse lying on the ground. He had several arrows in his armor, and his whole body was wet and looked like a chicken falling from afar. The lying war horse was also caught in several arrows. His front legs were broken, and his chest was covered in blood and blood. He lay on the ground and gasped in pain.

"Old guy, it's been more than a year in the blink of an eye..." Yuwen Shiwu sighed, gently stroked the horse's head with one hand, and the horse's eyes watched him with tears.

The Langzhu Yuwen Wen formed a new army at the beginning of last year, and Yuwen Shiwu served as the master of the cavalry. Since then, this war horse has been his mount. Today, he has experienced more than ten battles of all sizes and big battles together. The two of them are old partners.

A few days ago, the Zhou army attacked Xisai Mountain. After successfully succeeding, they rolled away with their captives. However, some of the troops turned to the mountains on the south side of Luzhai to lurk. Yuwen Shiwu and the cavalry under the pagoda were one of them.

The Chen army who came to rescue Xisai Mountain rushed to the sky. They camped in Xisai Mountain, which had almost turned into white land, waiting for the subsequent troops to arrive to rebuild the camp. The Zhou army in the upper reaches moved again and used the power of boats to attack Weiyuankou shu twenty miles downstream of Xisai Mountain.

The Chen army in Xisaishan returned to Weiyuankou to attack the Zhou army, who was landing inside and outside with the defenders. As a result, they were followed by Yuwen Shiwu, the strange soldier. The prey turned into a hunter, and the hunter turned into a prey.

Chen Jun, who was originally attacking inside and outside, was in a stalemate with the Zhou army, but was caught off guard by the Zhou cavalry behind him. The main general was killed by Yuwen Shiwu's arrow from the chaotic army. The Chen soldiers were in chaos in an instant.

The defeated soldiers who fled on the banks of the Weiyuankou River were countless casualties. Some died of trampling on each other, some shot them to death by arrows while swimming across the east bank, and some escaped to the east bank by luck but were still waiting by the landing Zhou soldiers.

Yuwen Shiwu and his subordinates were very unhappy in chasing the defeated soldiers, but they fell out in front of the horses by the river. Fortunately, they fell into the softer wetland by the river and fell into a dog and chewing mud. If they fell on the hard ground, they would probably have to recover from the injury for more than half a month before they could heal.

However, the mount under the crotch was not so lucky. His front legs were broken and his chest was scratched on a large scale. Even if Ma Yi was cured, he would be disabled and he could not even stand up.

When it was time to part, Yuwen Shiwu decided to talk to the old friend. The northwest wind blew, and the smell of blood was stirred up. Yuwen Shiwu was silent for a moment and reached out to block the eyes of the war horse.

The cold light swept past, and Yuwen Shiwu cut the war horse's neck with a dagger to give it a pleasure.

"If a person fails, horses will lose their hooves, don't think too much." A familiar voice came from behind. Yuwen Shiwu turned his head and looked at the boss Yuwen Wen. Of course, on the battlefield, he must be called the position, which is the "Envoy".

"Envoy..." Yuwen Shiwu was a little dull, and there were inevitably casualties when he fought in battle. He was quite 'feeling' for the war horse, so he was not impressed in front of the Langzhu.

"Just remember it in your heart, don't make people laugh." Yuwen Wen patted his shoulder and said. When cavalry warfare, war horses are "consumables", especially when maneuvering warfare, one man, two horses or even three horses are the norm. One is to rotate the rider to maintain speed, and the other is to die and one horse to change the other.

Yuwen Shiwu nodded, suddenly turned his head and seemed to wipe his tears. After a moment, he returned to normal and rushed to command the cavalry under his command. Seeing this, Yuwen Wen sighed helplessly: This guy is indeed a "sentimental" battlefield recruit like himself.

It is normal for a cavalry to have feelings for his war horses, and Yuwen Wen also has feelings for his soldiers. Since he fought with the new army, many familiar faces have disappeared. The feeling of melancholy cannot be described in words. The only thing he can do is to reward him according to his merits, and he also paid a lot of pensions to his family.

Yuwen Wen's body was covered in blood, but these were all the blood of the enemy. As the main general of the "Military Corps" who landed on the raid of Wei Yuankoushu this time, he did not hesitate to join the others as bait to fall into danger. Of course, he did not want to make meritorious service, but his main purpose was to boost morale.

After harassing Chen State, fighting bloody battles to capture the city and siege, but retreating, many soldiers were a little puzzled. Of course, Yuwen Wen could not explain what it means to "avoid falling into the war swamp". The offensive targets he selected were all good and heavy. This was not a bad battle game that made the soldiers die in vain.

Not to mention how many seductive prisoners were captured in Xisai Mountain, the food and grass they hoarded alone made Bazhou add food for several months, which was still the amount after distribution. Today, Weiyuankoushu is a food and grass transit place for reinforcements in Xisai Mountain, and there will be no less food and grass that can be removed this time.

As long as the war is fought, there will be casualties. Such harassing wars that do not aim to expand territory can only continue if they are in a "profit" state. The food stolen from Xisaishan and Weiyuankoushu is worth more than half of the harvest of Xiyang's boundary fields.

'It's true that it's better to rob it than to plant it. Some people are so unwilling to farm.' Yuwen Wen thought so, but he agreed with the strategy of "building high walls and storing grain".
