By the evening, Wang Pu hadn't gone up the mountain. So Zuo You and Cao Bin left.

Guo Shao sent them to the door of the room, and went down the eaves to another room. The rain is still falling, and the water stays in pillars along the tiles. Guo Shao found that the door was only hidden, and he pushed it open. He saw a beautiful woman in plain clothes kneeling on the futon in front of the Buddha statue. She is Zhou Xian, although all the jewellery has been removed at this time, and no cosmetics are applied on her face; but the delicacy of her beautiful and white face is the appearance of the dust.

Blue lantern, ancient Buddha. However, the woman on the futon does have a graceful posture with a full chest. The kneeling posture makes the skirt taut and highlights the round buttocks. She was closing her eyes, her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, her smooth lips moved lightly as if she was meditating on this, and a string of Buddhist beads was counting on her hand.

Guo Shao was stunned. Zhou Xian was truly stunning. Different postures have different styles... She was originally the queen of the Southern Tang State, but Guo Shao thinks that such a beautiful lady does not belong to anyone, she Only belongs to the winner.

"What are you asking for before the Buddha?" Guo Shao asked.

Zhou Xian opened his eyes and looked back at Guo Shao, his eyebrows were filled with pity. Guo Shao then walked over and sat cross-legged on the futon next to her. The light outside has gradually dimmed, and the light rain is still falling.

Zhou Xian faintly said: "I'm sorry to the king, and even more to Jiamin...For myself, regardless of Jiamin's life and death, I don't know what's wrong with her now."

Guo Shao said kindly: "I told my subordinates not to disclose the temporary warning of Emperor E for the time being. I sent someone to Jiangning City to ask the crime and did not mention it. The Lord of Nantang should not know it, so he should not take E. What about the emperor’s sister, you don’t have to worry too much."

"He will know sooner or later." Zhou Xian said with a slight sway.

Guo Shao thought for a while, and heard the sound of wooden fish coming from a distance. He didn't say anything to Zhou Xian, and soon left the room.

……

The weather finally cleared. In February of the sixth year of Xiande (959), the spring was bright and the decisive battle finally arrived. On both sides of the Qinhuai River, there are huge crowds of people. The Southern Tang Army is on the north bank, and the Zhou army is on the south bank. The army extends along the river bank. There are at least 200,000 troops on both sides.

In such a large-scale scene, the drum horns on the two wings are inaudible to each other, and you can't see the situation in the distance. Guo Shao's army can't control the army immediately; each department has its main general, and the tactics have been discussed in advance. And strategies, and respond to them temporarily.

The generals were scattered to various ministries, and Guo Shao rode a horse to patrol the army among the front ranks, boosting morale. The soldiers saw him shouting loudly, and the sound was overwhelmed for a while. At this moment, Guo Shao strangled the horse's rein suddenly and turned over from the horse. The accompanying Wang Pu and the generals stopped and looked at them.

Guo Shao strode and walked straight to a soldier holding a tiger flag, and the soldier immediately tensed up, not daring to look at him. Guo Shao reached out and took the flagpole, handed it to the sergeant next to him, and then grabbed the soldier's hand.

A pair of cracked hands were spread out, covered with unwashable dirt, the cracked wounds were shocking, and a piece of rags was wrapped around the palms. Guo Shao turned to look at the crowd, and all his followers were silent. He personally untied the linen from the soldier's hand, tore off his shoulder scarf, and wrapped it around the soldier's hand again.

"Dashuai Guo..." The soldier couldn't say anything.

Guo Shao returned the flagpole to him and said: "I will not forget the soldiers who fought blood in the battlefield."

One military commander immediately raised his spear and shouted: "Fight for Marshal Guo!" The army was in an uproar, and the shouts became more and more majestic, and even the people in the distance looked here.

Guo Shao turned on his horse, glanced into the distance, and looked back at the left and right, and said: "Look at the difficulties and hardships of the soldiers, but the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty resisted, for his own selfishness, and uselessly caused more people to bleed! Many times to persuade the surrender to no avail, only to enter Jiangning City and recover Jiangnan!"

He drew out his sword and said loudly: "The king's unjust, the world will win!" The crowds of people successively shouted that they would win, and the power overwhelmed the Nantang army camp on the opposite side.

At this moment, a bright flame was seen in front of the left wing. Although the sky was sunny, the flame was stronger than the sun.

Several giant rafts carrying firewood swam from the west of the Qinhuai River, caught fire in the wind, and the flames soared into the sky and the smoke billowed straight to the Nantang Army Water Village on the opposite bank. It was Luo Yanhuan's tricks, which was used up in Wankou, and now he is doing the same trick again.

The twenty-three-foot-wide raft floated like a volcano. It moved slowly after the wind caught fire, but there was nothing to stop it on the water. The Southern Tang Army warship hung its sails, turned around and ran down the wind. The raft moved slowly to the vicinity of the water village on the opposite bank. After a short while, the flames spread to ignite the fenced ship in the water village, and the fire became even greater.

A large group of thick smoke spread, and the scorching temperature covered the surrounding upper and lower ground, and the Southern Tang Army retreated in front of it, causing chaos.

Not far from the southeast of the water village, Shi Yanchao, who was already ready, waved his iron spear and shouted: "Kill!" The horse galloped out of the crowd first, and the nearby iron horses swarmed up yelling. The horses rushed straight into the river, and the water in this area was found to be very shallow, and the water was not too deep for horses. The cavalry trudged in the water, splashing water everywhere.

Shi Yanchao took the lead to cross the Qinhuai River, the front was filled with smoke, and the Southern Tang Army was in chaos. But from nowhere, thick-armed crossbow bolts flew up, and even the bang of the bed crossbow was heard in the noise. Someone was hit by a crossbow arrow and fell from the horse screaming. Shi Yanchao did not rectify the troops, and rushed straight into the rebellion of the Southern Tang Army, and many elite soldiers behind, hurriedly rushed forward.

The nearby Southern Tang soldiers were in chaos and there was no resistance. Shi Yanchao and the others almost ignored the enemy soldiers and drove the rebels straight to the north. People and horses cross the river relatively slowly, and the river slows down the subsequent horse teams; the people in front rush faster, and Shi Yanchao's soldiers and horses become like a long snake formation. In the smoke, there was a rebel who had no time to run away, and was slashed by the immediate sergeant Zhou. The soldier put his hand on his head and screamed.

The forward Shi Yanchao went from the chaos to the east flank of the big camp. The front was like a forest of swords and guns, a thick square formation, and a sea of ​​people made his men extremely thin. However, Shi Yanchao, regardless of the number, took the lead and slammed the front of the central formation of the Southern Tang Army.

In the army, he seems to be a bigger man, taller and more aggressive than everyone else. "Huh!" A heavy gun shot with iron all over the body, he let go of his hand and flew forward. There was a scream not far away. The heavy and powerful iron gun directly broke the armor of a soldier and pierced its torso. ! A crowd of spears whizzed away, and the long spears of the leader of the Southern Tang Army camp fell quite a bit. Shi Yanchao was sitting on a galloping iron horse, and quickly rushed into the enemy lineup. The iron gun he held again in his hand slammed into the chest of a soldier on the side. The blood was chaotic. The soldier was violently violent. With a lift, the body slammed backward, knocking over two more people.

The crowd around was crowded, and all the footmen turned to look at the horsemen from here. Before they could react, Shi Yanchao led his troops directly through the phalanx and entered with one blow. The morale of the Southern Tang army here was very low, and they couldn't help fighting. Only a few people died, and a large group of people lost their weapons and fled.

The arrow shot on Shi Yanchao's armor clinked and clashed, and the elite soldiers rushed up to protect his wings, and the horses crisscrossed the enemy camp, no one could stop him. Many soldiers began to run from a distance before Shi Yanchao rushed over. Shi Yanchao was excited, with blood on his body. He held a saber in his left hand and an iron spear in his right. The two two-handed weapons were extremely light in his hands. He was completely ignoring the feelings of the other soldiers.

"Kill!" Shi Yanchao pointed to the south with his saber, and an iron cavalry followed him towards the river. In front were the long-range light soldiers of the Southern Tang Army, guarding the men and horses by the river with their bows and crossbows, and they had to turn around and countless arrows to greet Zhou Jun's cavalry from behind. The people and horses around Shi Yanchao lost a lot, mainly because the horses were injured and the soldiers were left behind.

But as soon as the iron cavalry rushed into the crowd of light soldiers, it was devastated, and the crowd scattered like ants frightened.

...... On the Qinhuai River, a large number of Zhou army boats rowed troops across the river. No one extinguished the fire on the west side, and even the surface of the river was enveloped with a faint layer of smoke, and the black and gray rustles burned by reeds in the sky fell down, besides there were a lot of arrows. Arrows fell into the water, "dingdong" rang, water splashed, and the surface of the river really looked like it was raining.

There are several shallow waters in this section of the river. Zhou's warships can't get in, and the troops are small boats and various civilian ships temporarily requisitioned. The several boats here are even awning boats. The soldiers on the boats are holding rough wooden shields on their heads, because the awnings on their heads are already riddled with holes, and arrows are constantly falling.

"Ah!" Suddenly there was a painful cry. All the soldiers turned around and saw that a soldier who was rowing dropped the oar, his hand was nailed to the side of the boat, blood stained the board, his face Show the color of pain.

The shouting outside got louder and louder, and the man in the bow jumped straight into the river, wading from the river to the shore. A young general yelled and shouted: "Come on, kill!" A group of people threw away the broken wooden shield with many arrows, took up the weapon and rushed out.

The water on the riverside and the bank are shining, and the metal luster of the plate armor is particularly conspicuous in the sun. This group of men and horses belonged to Zhang Jiankui, the left arm of the Tigers and Cardinals. Armored weapons were the most sophisticated infantrymen, and the infantrymen who played forward were usually the first to go. Even the Third Army Corps Yuhou Zhoutong personally charged in the crowd.

The light troops of the Southern Tang Army were in chaos on the river bank, and the cavalry of the Zhou Army rushed around. Some people in Zhang Jiankui's department also crossed the river and climbed up from the water in a mess, but no one rectified the queue at all. Zhang Jiankui had already made it by himself with a large axe, and the army also rushed with arrows.

The whole river bank, the shouts of "Chong..." "Kill..." resounded across the earth, and large swaths of soldiers spread forward, full of insurgent soldiers, but the momentum was raging.
