On this day, the one-eyed old man found out that Ye Yinfeng got up later than himself, and when he saw Ye Yinfeng with some rickety figures, he couldn't help but laugh. And Ye Yinfeng held his waist with his right hand, and looked at the other party with a little sadness on his face, and a touch of shame flashed from his face. The one-eyed old man's laughter startled the rising sun from the east, and his unbridled laughter shook the dark clouds all over the sky, although the sorrow on Ye Yinfeng's face became stronger and stronger, but he couldn't help the other party.

"Young man, don't you know moderation, and it's not life and death." The one-eyed old man had already packed his bags, and the smile on his face had not yet dissipated, and he quipped to Ye Yinfeng. "Go, go, go, stay where it's cool." Ye Yinfeng naturally didn't have a good face to pass through the other party, and he scolded the one-eyed old man. After speaking, he moved his limbs against the rising sun, and a wisp of cyan aura visible to the naked eye flashed from his body.

Ye Yinfeng greeted the sun, he stretched his limbs, and he clearly felt that the true qi in his body seemed to increase again, and the true yuan circulating around him began to merge into a trickling stream. Running the true yuan in the meridians around the body, although there is only a trace, but Ye Yinfeng is already very satisfied, and the true yuan in his body is a little more from Aunt Fan, although these true elements are insignificant to Aunt Fan, but for Ye Yinfeng, this is a miracle, and he is looking forward to the next miracle.

At this time, Aunt Fan was like a housewife, she was just wearing a coarse cloth coat and her face was slightly powdered, but it was still difficult to hide her charming figure and charming atmosphere. She had already prepared breakfast, and the one-eyed old man sat down very unceremoniously, but Ye Yinfeng was a little shy, and was finally pulled down by Aunt Fan. The three of them were only concerned about eating, but there was no conversation, this atmosphere was the first and perhaps the last.

Huang Fuhui came to the nameless wine shop with several soldiers, Ye Yinfeng gently stepped on a horse, and he looked back at the wine shop for a few moments. The one-eyed old man had already left, and only the coarse-clothed woman was leaning against the doorframe and looking at her quietly, her face a little shy and red. After this farewell, they don't know when they will return, maybe they won't see each other again, or maybe this goodbye will be goodbye.

The scorching sun is dazzling, the wind cuts the skin, there is a depressing atmosphere between heaven and earth, and the people and horses in the Tang camp in Cai Zhen are noisy. A gloomy atmosphere of the impending war spread, and at this time, Ye Yinfeng and Huang Fuhui stood high on the observation platform in the barracks, which was one foot high and could overlook the entire Caizhen barracks. Looking at the Tang army training in the military camp, although they were well-trained and exuded a mighty and brave momentum, Ye Yinfeng always felt that something was missing.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, the Great Zhou army is about to go south, but my Tang army is used to a peaceful and good life. Looking at these soldiers, although they are more than brave in momentum, they are not brave enough to meet on the battlefield, and the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road. This courage refers to the courage and courage, to have the courage to die and be born later, compared with the Tang army and the Great Zhou army, it is the courage to lack this courage. Ye Yinfeng said what was in his heart.

"Wen Yuan, you participated in the war between the Great Zhou Army and the Northern Han Dynasty, and you know the Great Zhou Army, so I ask you to help. No matter what, we must win this battle, otherwise the fertile land of Huainan will be attached to the Great Zhou, and if Huainan is lost, my Datang will be in danger. The hardships of this battle are unpredictable, and I am determined to die and stick to every inch of my Datang. Dingyuan is our homeland, and the city of Shouzhou must be preserved. Huang Fuhui said with blazing eyes.

"The Tang soldiers have been arrogant for a long time, although they are more than fierce but not brave, we need to win a battle, so that we can really improve morale." Ye Yinfeng's gaze passed through the scorching sunlight and headed north, and he said to Huang Fuhui. At the same time, Ling Tianyun's figure appeared in his mind

The confrontation was about to begin, and the confrontation between him and Ling Tianyun would officially kick off, and the battle between Zhou and Tang was about to break out.

Zhengyang Town, at this time, Zhengyang Town has become a walled city, and the Great Zhou Army turned a small town into a military walled city with extremely fast fortification efficiency. The east of Zhengyang Walled City is Yingshui, Yingshui flows from Xuzhou in the territory of the Great Zhou to the Huai River, and the two rivers meet in the west of Shouzhou. Zhengyang Town is located on the bank of the confluence of the two rivers, the surging river rushes down, standing on the Zhengyang sentry tower, you can clearly see the magnificent scene of the river rushing when the two rivers meet.

Zhao Kuangyin and Ling Tianyun were in the Zhengyang Great Zhou military camp, the Great Zhou military camp was being built, and it was a busy scene of repairing the city and setting up a village. The two walked between the dense camp tents, and next to the military camp was a lush dense forest, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty cut down the wood base camp, presenting a strong and indestructible camp in front of the two of them. The towering Great Zhou flag fluttered in the wind and made a rustling sound.

"My army camp moved to this place, can be called to occupy the geographical advantage, the other side of the Huai River is Shouzhou, to be built on the pontoon bridge, the Great Zhou army waved Shouzhou, and the city of Shouzhou can be broken in a few days. The fertile land of Huainan will be included in the territory of my Great Zhou. General Zhang needs to supervise the progress of the pontoon bridge as soon as possible, postpone it by one day, and delay the fighter plane by one day. Zhao Kuangyin's face was solemn and said to Zhang Yongde behind him.

"Please rest assured General Zhao, with the morale of my Great Zhou at this time, the pontoon bridge will be built tomorrow, and the attack will be launched tomorrow. Zhang Yongde didn't show any nervousness on his face, he said lightly. "According to the spies' report, the Southern Tang Dynasty has sent reinforcements, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach the Purple Mountain in two or three days, and the leader of the troops is Li Jingda, the younger brother of the Southern Tang Emperor, King of Qi." Zhao Kuangyin looked at the secret report in his hand slightly, and then said to Ling Tianyun and Zhang Yongde.

"For example, if Li Tang's army crossed the Huai River from the Purple Mountain and went straight to Xuzhou, wouldn't it be dangerous. Zhengyang was attacked on both sides, and there was no way to retreat, so he had to capture Shouzhou City first. Ling Tianyun still knew about military strategy, and he immediately thought of a possibility, and couldn't help blurting it out. Yes, there is this possibility, if Li Jingda arrives with his army, he will definitely take a series of military actions. So we didn't have much time, General Zhang ordered to go down and build a pontoon bridge all night, and tomorrow morning, the pontoon bridge must be built. Zhao Kuangyin's face became a little solemn, and he immediately ordered Zhang Yongde.

Zhang Yongde's face was pale, and he left after receiving the order, while Ling Tianyun followed Zhao Kuangyin's gaze to the group of migrant workers who made the pontoon bridge. As soon as the Great Zhou army arrived in Zhengyang Town, they gathered hundreds of local people, and in addition to the soldiers who built fortifications, most of the people were requisitioned. Zhengyang Town originally belonged to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and when the Great Monday arrived, Zhengyang Town had already been attached to the Great Zhou.

With a "snap", a whip sounded on the human body, followed by a wail of pain, and Ling Tianyun saw a Great Zhou soldier raising a long whip and whipping an ordinary person's body. The long whip rained down on the people, and the man's mouth was wailing, and he could not help but be angry at the sight of this strange situation. He swept his body and leaped behind the soldier, grabbing the soldier's arm.

"Grandma, tell you to be lazy, look at how Lao Tzu beat you to death today." The soldier shouted and cursed, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by the arm so coldly that his whip could not fall. "Who doesn't open his eyes, who dares to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs, is simply tired of living." The soldier turned his head and cursed. He was still angry at the beginning just now, but when he saw Ling Tianyun's face clearly, he was stunned.

"It turned out to be Major General Ling, my subordinates don't know if it's a general, please forgive the general" The soldier threw away the long whip in his hand in a panic

Kneeling on the ground, he said in fear. Ling Tianyun, on the other hand, glanced at the soldier with an expressionless face, and his gaze fell on the person who was beaten. I saw that this man was dressed in rags, and his body was already covered with blood, and he squatted on the ground and shivered, and his eyes were full of sorrow and sorrow.

Then, Ling Tianyun's gaze fell on several other people carrying rough wood, their eyes were not only indifferent but indifferent, as if they had long been accustomed to this, or perhaps they had become numb to what happened to them. Looking at this group of people with numb expressions on their faces, Ling Tianyun suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart for no reason, these people are the most innocent, the purpose of the war is to let this group of people live and work in peace and contentment, but he didn't expect that this group of people became the earliest victims of the war.

Ling Tianyun looked coldly at the soldier who was kneeling on the ground, he knew that what this soldier did was not wrong, now in order to speed up the construction of the pontoon bridge, the military order had been issued, and no one could slack off. He didn't punish the soldier, he stopped it all, but walked away silently. These conscripted migrant workers have no choice but to work hard, and perhaps when the war is over, they should have a life of their own.

"Third brother, the person in charge of the army cannot have the kindness of a woman, there will be sacrifices in every war, but some people sacrifice in different ways. If the pontoon bridge is not completed on time, what awaits us will be a fierce attack by the Southern Tang Army, and these migrant workers are the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they must have a grudge against me in their hearts. Although my Great Zhou Army did something wrong last time, in order to avoid riots, it can only be expedient. Zhao Kuangyin patted Ling Tianyun's shoulder, and then said comfortingly.

Only then did Ling Tianyun remember that the Great Zhou army went all the way south and captured several states of Southern Tang north of the Huai River. Although the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty welcomed the arrival of the Great Zhou Army, due to the improper handling of some Zhou troops, some soldiers arbitrarily plundered and treated the people as mustard, which led to the White Armor Army incident. Although this matter was effectively suppressed, the bad habits of the Great Zhou Army had always left a particularly bad impression in Ling Tianyun's mind.

"Whether it is the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty or the people of my Great Zhou, they are all the people of the Han people of my Shenzhou. What is the purpose of the war, is to unify the world, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment. But what I don't understand is that wars often make those innocent civilians sacrifice first, is this the hegemony we have been pursuing? Second brother, I really don't understand, you look at those ragged ordinary people, what did they do wrong? Ling Tianyun asked Zhao Kuangyin angrily.

"Third brother, you are too kind-hearted, how can there be immortals in war, you must know that this is only temporary. The soldiers charged into battle, and the people were logistically supplied, which was all justified. What is wrong with the sacrifice of this moment can be exchanged for peace in the world. As the king of a country, doesn't the eldest brother have these people in his heart, in fact, his heart is more bitter than ours. Zhao Kuangyin patted Ling Tianyun's shoulders and explained.

"Second brother, what you say is reasonable, but the younger brother can't say it. In addition, there may be people sneaking into the camp tonight and arranging patrol soldiers to be on strict alert. Ling Tianyun laughed at himself helplessly, and then he turned his gaze and saw a few flickering glances. Naturally, the Southern Tang Kingdom will not be willing to let us build the pontoon bridge, they will definitely send people to disturb the camp, which Brother Wei has thought of a long time ago. Zhao Kuangyin said to Ling Tianyun with confidence.

"There will inevitably be a fierce battle tonight, so I'll go and rest first." Ling Tianyun nodded and said to Zhao Kuangyin, for this kind of trivial matter, he naturally knew that Zhao Kuangyin had already made arrangements. He had another thing in his heart, he felt that the battle between him and Ye Yinfeng had begun to kick off, and the battle between them would start tonight. "Will you come?" He muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
