"Where are your parents, wives and children, and ancestors' tombs?"

This question repeatedly hits the hearts of the soldiers in the southeast camp like an iron hammer. In order to prevent the unstable morale of the army, this is a question of taboos and even strict prohibition in the camp. People are not plants and trees, and the heavy wounds in the hearts of many people were torn open at this moment. The river wind blew by, with a humid smell. Thousands of soldiers were silent at this moment, and they were silent and depressed.

"Where are your parents, wives and children, and ancestors' tombs? In—"

Zhao Xingde took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Jiangbei!" He shook his right arm, his eyes slowly flew across the faces of thousands of soldiers, and said loudly, "How can there be a complete egg when the nest is destroyed? The Liao gang went south to herd horses, and no one in the world can live in peace. As a warrior, we are willing to be slaves of the Liao gang, which shamed our ancestors, or are willing to sacrifice our lives to the country and fight to the death, and be remembered forever! What kind of virtue is Zhao? A man who can lead the southeast camp? Hebei has fallen, Henan has fallen, and Bianliang has fallen. This big river is our last line of defense! Jiangbei is the hometown of you, how can you give up your wife, children, and ancestors' tombs? "

"A real man can make it fold in an instant, but not soft around his fingers!"

"Today, Zhao crossed the river--" Zhao Xingde pulled out his sword, pointed at Jiangbei, and shouted, "I will never return until I defeated the Liao thief!" The mount felt the excitement in his master's heart and was walking uneasy. The soldiers' eyes also moved with the horse's body, revealing an extremely hot and exciting light. The war horses snorted and circled in an anxious circle among the crowd. The soldiers made way for Zhao Xingde in awe.

"All the heroes in my camp will follow me to cross the river," Zhao Xingde shouted loudly: "If you don't defeat the Liao bandits, you won't go back to the army!" As soon as he lifted the reins of the horse, the white horse passed through the crowd and slowly walked towards the river bank. The soldiers around the surrounding southeast camp, whether they were watching the fun, making trouble intentionally, or watching success or failure, were stunned. Taking over the position of commander is extremely important in the eyes of many people, General Zhao did not mention a word! He just crossed the river! As long as he fights the Liao bandits to the death! Recovering the hometown of Jiangbei, he won't go back to the army! Many people raised their right arms like a forest, covering people's expressions, some of their throats choked, some of their breathing, and some of their eyes gradually turned red.

"I will never return to the army until I defeat the Liao thief!" Teng Ying said loudly, and a heat surged in his chest, following Zhao Xingde's horse.

"Jiangbei!" "Jiangbei!" "Jiangbei!" Many soldiers from the southeast camp followed Zhao Xingde's horse and shouted rhythmically while walking, "Jiangbei!" "Jiangbei!" Countless right arms were waving vigorously. The crowd was excited, and the shouts were like an angry tide. The scene was like a camp roar. More and more soldiers followed Zhao Xingde. The scene of the swearing to go to the expedition just now was passed by word of mouth, wrapping more soldiers in the crowd, and even the officers could not control the scene. Li Jing was originally going to break the deployment of Xindu, but at this time he followed the crowd and walked to the riverside with the crowd. He witnessed Zhao Xingde dismounting, and then took the horse for more than ten steps onto a small boat that was originally parked on the bank of the river. When the soldiers on the boat saw Zhao Xingde boarding the boat, they untied the cables, and the boat carried one man and one horse slowly left the riverside.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were crowded on the bank of the river, watching the new officers deployed to cross the river alone. Some were in a complicated mood, some were stunned, and some were excited. But no one thought why it happened so much. This small boat seemed to be waiting for Zhao Xingde here. There were crowds of people on the bank of the river, and countless people were staring at the middle of the river. The back of a small boat on the waves was engraved in the minds of many soldiers.

"Great send to Mr. Zhao!" Someone fell to his knees and said loudly.

"The last general sent Zhao to the commander!" "The Prime Minister Zhao forgives the crime of the last general!"

"The villain gave me the chance to Mr. Zhao!" "Don't abandon me and leave!"

"Give me a gift to Mr. Zhao!"

Countless people just recovered, knelt on one knee, and acted according to the highest manner of picking up Shangguan. The shouts were chaotic at first, but later they gradually became tidy. Thousands of camps shouted together, as if they had practiced before, and seemed to call Zhao Xingde back from the river, but that small boat did not linger at all, and sailed straight to the opposite shore. In the vast waves, it seemed as if the heaven and earth were condensed on his back. The war horses on the boat were still looking back frequently, and their backs stood on the bow of the boat like steel cast iron, always facing the north of the Yangtze River, without looking back.

After Zhao Xingde crossed the river, on the south bank of the river, some brave soldiers jumped onto the boat and shouted to let the boatman ferry to the north bank." Hi-"Teng Ying slapped his sword and turned around and said, "Yudutou, I will follow General Zhao across the river. What are you planning?" Yu Xitian said with a sigh: "What else can I say? I will go back and gather my brothers. I will follow General Zhao. I will be lucky in my life." The two turned around, pushed everyone away, and walked towards the camp. Many soldiers, like them, did not cross the river immediately, but made up their minds to pack up their luggage and cross the river. They would rather die in battle than defeat the Liao bandits, and never return to the army. The crowds of people did not disperse for a long time on the south bank of the river.

Li Jing said to the people around him: "Tell General Tian, ​​Mr. Li has crossed the river." He strode to Jiangbei, and found a boat to jump on it. When the soldiers on the boat saw him coming up, he praised him, "Good man!" Li Jing said "hmm" on his nose, saying hello, turned his face, looked at the gradually distant Nanban, and looked at the face of the complicated expression flashed. In his heart, it seemed that he was getting further and further away from yesterday himself. I don't know whether this step was right or wrong.

"well--"

Deng Su stood there for a long time, the river breeze blew, and a grain of sand blew into his eyes, and then turned around. In a rush, he sighed to the Xijing general beside him: "I have been with Zhao Yuanzhi for more than ten years, and I have only really known this person today."

The deputy general was also moved and sighed, "If all the generals who commanded the troops were like Zhao Gong, the Liao bandits could come here again." After saying this, he felt abrupt and turned to look elsewhere.

Deng Su smiled slightly, but did not point it out. While sighing, he put the imperial edict in his hand into his arms and said to himself: "Zhao Yuanzhi just left without hesitation, and still left the big stall of the Southeast Camp. How to deal with it? Leave it to Cao Di for a headache." Seeing the scene just now, at this moment, he felt that the imperial edict in his hand was very light and no longer worried about Cao Di's monopoly of military power.

On the north bank of the river, Zhao Xingde jumped onto the boat board and walked ashore quickly. The war horses were human and did not wait for anyone to lead. They neighed gently, jumped into the water, and followed behind them with a few steps. On the Hanyang Wharf, Ouyang Shan saw Zhao Xingde crossing the river and comforting him. Ouyang Shan looked excited and knelt down on one knee and said, "I will welcome Zhao's commander!"

A group of officers in Hanyang City were waiting for a long time on the dock. Just now, the shouts of shouts came across the other side of the river. The officers were puzzled. But, in what way, Zhao Xingde was willing to cross the river to seek comfort, and always comforted the morale of the army. Following Ouyang Shan, the troops knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Welcome to the Zhao commander!" The wind was howling in the river. Hanyang City has turned to Ezhou since today.

"No need for too much politeness." Zhao Xingde helped Ouyang Shan up. He looked at the generals and said, "Please get up. Just now, Zhao has already swore with the army. If he does not defeat the Liao thieves, he will not return. From now on, Zhao will be in the same boat with you through thick and thin."

He was kind-hearted, and the officers who were waiting were anxiously at ease, and they all came to greet Zhao Xingde. Ouyang Shan quietly pulled the soldiers who were ferrying Zhao Xingde across the river to the side and asked him what happened on the other side just now. After learning that the opposite side had just announced the order that Liu Yanqing had lost his military power and Zhao Xingde had made the deployment of the Southeast Camp, Ouyang Shan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, immediately pushed everyone away, and bowed again: "Last general Ouyang Shan, please see the deployment of the capital."

There are two fortresses in the north of Jiangbei, Hanyang City and Yangluo Fort. Among them, Yangluo Fort is in a dangerous terrain, which blocks the waterway where the Han River enters the river. Hanyang is opposite to Ezhou City in Jiangdong. The three cities are three of them, which are the keys to control the Jianghan Waterway. Cao Di wanted to preserve his strength, but was unwilling to leave his trusted subordinates to face the attack of the Liao Kingdom, and was reluctant to give up the important land in Jiangbei, so he handed over Hanyang City and Yangluo Fort to the Southeast Camp to defend. After Liu Yanqing's army retreated across the Yangtze River, most of the people who stayed in Jiangbei were platooned in the Southeast Camp.

The crowded camps, the fire gun battalions were created by Wang Yan, and there were almost no Liu Yanqing's confidant generals. After Liu Yanqing took charge of the southeast camp, he regarded the fire gun battalion as a secondary camp that could not pull the crossbow. This time, most of the fire gun battalions were left in Jiangbei on the grounds that the musketeers were suitable for defending the city. Seeing that the building was about to collapse, he became an abandoned son. The soldiers of the camp were heartbroken, and under the instigation of Ouyang Shan and other Zhao Xingde's old subordinates, not only the generals of Hanyang, but also the remaining soldiers of Yangluobao decided to join Ezhou together after discussing.

When the generals saw Ouyang Shan change his name, they were extremely shocked. Ouyang Shan laughed loudly: "From now on, Zhao Zhengzheng will be the host of our Southeast Camp." Seeing the generals' unbelievable eyes, he smiled: "Zhao Zhengzheng is Wang Jieshuai's favorite general. The battle between Hejian is famous all over the world and has repeatedly defeated the Liao soldiers. If he doesn't do it, who else can take over my Southeast Camp!"

Other generals were surprised and some saluted the hosts again, while others whispered. Everyone celebrated each other with every move and every move, and their spirits were full of spirit. As for Zhao Xingde, it turned out to be the garrison of Ezhou, why was suddenly appointed as the Southeast Camp to deploy? No one asked for the final answer for a while.

In Fangzhou, a carrier pigeon fell lightly on the wooden platform of the pigeon's chamber. The sergeant untied the reed tube tied to the legs of the pigeon, referred to a large number on the silk and handed it to the marching chief Gao Gongmao. When Gao Gongmao saw it, he was shocked and immediately went to find Wu Jie. As soon as he met, he did not care about the greetings and politeness, and he said loudly: "Things have changed. Ezhou and Xiangyang have been negotiated with peace alliances. Liu Yanqing has resigned, and Zhao Xingde was appointed as the Southeast Camp.
