Inside and outside Yingfeng Village, together with the official road, it became a huge military camp connected with Chu troops in front and behind, and in the middle were surrendered enemy troops. Because they came from many countries and had poor language, they were called the "Hundred Family Army" by the Chu people.

This army only has armor but no weapons. According to the original plan, the weapons will be distributed until the moment before the decisive battle. Most of the original objects of these people were lost. Although some of them were retrieved, the number was still far from enough. It needed to be supplemented by the Chu army. As for whether they were used smoothly or not, they were not considered at all.

At the beginning, there were few Chu troops and many hundred families. Both sides were wary of each other and were all worried. The Chu army was worried that the surrendered army would resist, and the surrendered army was afraid that the Chu army would kill people to eliminate the trouble.

Not long after, the number of Chu troops increased, most of them were deployed in the rear, with camps ranging from scattered to the point of view, and the vigilance of both sides decreased a lot.

Only the Chu people themselves knew that in this huge army that suddenly emerged, most of them were temporarily recruited. From a distance, they looked like a group of people. They really came to the battlefield, but they were afraid that they would not play much role. Most generals were not sure whether they could even let these people rush into the battlefield.

The only person with full confidence is the emperor.

Han Ruzi retreated from the complex Yiwei, usually only brought more than fifty guards in and out of the military camp, and did not open the way in advance. The soldiers could make it aside temporarily. In short, he was more like a general who led the way, rather than the arrogant emperor of the Great Chu.

He kept making promises, promising generals to increase their ranks, promised soldiers gold, silver and cloth, and promised civilians to reduce their quotas... Four historians followed, the emperor followed, and they recorded them to show that all this was not empty talk.

On the third day after rushing to the military camp, Han Ruzi went to the Baijia Army Camp and still only brought more than fifty guards.

The soldiers of the alien race were even more curious about the Emperor of Chu. Everyone watched wherever Han Ruzi went.

It is difficult to make promises to these people. At most, five interpreters need to cooperate. Fortunately, Han Ruzi's words are very simple, "Help the gods and ghosts, you will never go home, help Da Chu, and you will be able to reunite with your family soon."

Every time I walked past a camp, the Chu army distributed weapons.

Over the past few days, the morale of the entire army was greatly boosted, and even the most pessimistic general in advance developed a little confidence.

Han Ruzi set up the central army tent in Yingfeng Village. A wooden watchtower was built on the edge of the village. When the weather was clear, you could see the open land in the distance, which would be the battlefield.

On the 11th day of the twelfth lunar month, the enemy arrived and found a large army in front of him. The enemy was obviously surprised and immediately set up camp dozens of miles away.

Han Ruzi sent an envoy to send a letter of war. The content was extremely simple, with only four words: a decisive battle tomorrow.

The envoy returned to the camp that night and brought back more than ten heads, all of whom were the generals of the Chu army, including Cui Hong and Nan Zhijin.

The Minister of War finally had a whereabouts. Cui Teng cried with his head, vowed to avenge his father, and asked to act as a pioneer.

Of course, Han Ruzi couldn't let Cui Tengchong be in the front and forced him to stay by his side. The forward sent was still Fan Chushan.

Fan Chushan's injuries were still healed, but it was no longer a serious problem. He urgently requested to join the war, and asked for it five times in a day. Han Ruzi finally agreed, "The general will not be able to break the enemy's battle, but to show the might of our great Chu to the Hundred Family Army. You must not advance rashly."

Han Ruzi was worried and divided half of his guards to Fan Chushan. His only task was to protect the general's safety.

The second group of troops is the Baijia Army. They will line up in front of the formation and enter the battlefield one after another according to the orders.

Although the Chu army lacked real soldiers, there were many military officers. They calculated the numbers day and night, then arranged troops and arranged more than fifty armies properly, which one was ahead, who was the leader, who was the assistant, what flags and what orders they listened to, they all made it clear.

The third group of troops was the Chu army temporarily recruited, with a large number, but Han Ruzi did not intend to send them out. The role of these people was to defend the rear and give the army ahead some confidence.

Han Ruzi did not reveal his true thoughts to anyone, and the combat plan was still formulated and assigned in detail, so that everyone could know what to do tomorrow.

Han Ruzi ordered people to send the heads of the Chu generals to the high platform and face the northern battlefield, so that they could see tomorrow's victory.

As the night became darker, Han Ruzi invited the generals in the lobby of the village, without tables and chairs, and everyone stood.

Yingfeng Village is not big. When the enemy passed by for the first time, it was not time to completely demolish it. The hall was still very complete. The torches were illuminated as bright as daytime. Han Ruzi personally held the wine and toasted three cups in a row. He said to the general of Chu: "The capital city is no longer guards, and the people are still on the way eastward. The Chu army will never retreat. Whether to win or lose, it depends on tomorrow's battle. I hope you will work hard."

The generals drank loudly, and Han Ruzi toasted the generals of the Hundred Schools of the Army again, "After all, I want to go home. If I escape back, I will still fall into the hands of the gods and ghosts. If I fight back, I can reunite with my family and get rid of slavery from then on."

The cheers of the alien generals became louder.

The banquet was very short. After a few glasses of wine, everyone said goodbye, went back to rest, and prepared for a big battle.

Han Ruzi stayed in the hall, looking at the broken wine glasses on the ground, all her thoughts were tomorrow's battle, thinking about every detail, and striving to avoid accidents.

If the Hundred Family Army cannot win, the temporary army in the rear will have to join the war. That is the worst result, and the possibility of victory is slim...

Someone walked into the hall, and Han Ruzi looked at it, Cui Teng and the guard leader Wang He.

Han Ruzi sat on the only chair in the hall. The two of them stepped forward and saluted under the steps. Cui Teng said first, "Do you have the final preparation?"

“What is the ‘last preparation’?”

Cui Teng and Wang He looked at each other, but Cui Teng said, "The victory of tomorrow is unpredictable. If there is any possibility, the Chu army can stop it for a while, and Your Majesty can retreat to Kanto, but the route needs to be arranged in advance."

Han Ruzi laughed and looked at Wang He, thinking that this was his idea, "The outcome is unpredictable? Do everyone have such an idea?"

Wang He was stared at by the emperor and his face turned slightly red, and he could no longer remain silent. "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and there is never a reason to win."

"There is no reason to win, but it has the intention to win. I have been thinking for a long time and thought that the Chu army will win. Why? The so-called "energy" will lose. The gods and ghosts will win every battle, but they were forced to retreat when they attacked the capital. Although it was a trick, it was a big blow to the morale of the army. Although the enemy was prosperous, it was actually at the end of the strong crossbow. Once the sharp edge was broken, it would undoubtedly be defeated. The hundreds of families were oppressed for a long time, and with the intention of going home, they would definitely be able to fight more and more courageously, not to mention the Chu army's subordinates."

Cui Teng had already cried for his father, and at this time he only cared about the emperor, and stepped forward and said, "It's these hundred armies, really... it's not worth believing. They first surrendered to the gods and ghosts, and now they surrendered to the Great Chu. I can't guarantee which side they will stand in front of the formation tomorrow."

"I don't doubt the employment of people, but I think the Baijia Army is credible."

Cui Teng had nothing to say and looked at Wang He, "You'd better advise him."

Wang He said: "Just just in case, Your Majesty should prepare a way out."

"You reminded me to call the people from the Ministry of War in."

Wang He quickly called seven or eight people in, and the only officials left in the Ministry of War in the capital were the first buffer for the emperor to issue orders to the entire army.

Han Ruzi issued two decrees, one was to order the Chu army in the rear to close the barriers, and all the doors were nailed to death, and no one was allowed to enter and exit. The other was to send a letter to the generals of the Hundred Family Army to take them to the West and hand them over to Deng Cui and Huang Pugong at the right time.

Officials from the Ministry of War left with the order, Cui Teng and Wang He were stunned.

"I've told you a long time ago." Cui Teng whispered.

Wang He had no choice but to persuade the emperor to prepare a way out, but the emperor blocked the only way.

The two of them took their leave, but Han Ruzi refused to allow it, "Stay behind to have a few drinks with me."

There were some wines, but not many of them were complete. Cui Teng found two, gave Wang He one, and wiped them carefully with his sleeves.

Wang He brought the wine jar and poured wine for the emperor first, Cui Teng and himself finally.

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "There are no monarch and ministers here tonight. You and I will drink hard, so there is no need to be polite."

Wang He drank politely, but Cui Teng took the emperor's words seriously, drank a few drinks, and shouted: "It's a pity that King Donghai is not here, and I don't know if he is still alive."

"He is not in the head of the person sent back, he is still alive."

Thinking of his father's death, Cui Teng was sad and angry. He drank three cups again without Wang He pouring wine. He held the wine jar and drank it himself. He felt drunk and asked, "Why didn't Your Majesty send me to the front?"

"Because you are not Fan Chuanshan." Han Ruzi answered very directly.

Fan Chishan is famous. Not only the Chu army, but also the Baijia Army knows that it is this invincible general. Cui Teng is naturally inferior, but he is not convinced. "It's okay to let me be a follower of General Fan, so as not to say that I am timid and will not avenge you if you have any grudges."

"When you go to fight," Han Ruzi drank two drinks, "Don't always think about tomorrow's battle, say something else."

Wang He didn't say anything, but Cui Teng's drunkenness became even more obvious, and he squinted his eyes: "Do your Majesty want to hear my truth?"

"certainly."

Cui Teng pondered for a moment, "My brother died in the army, but that was his own fault and had nothing to do with His Majesty. My father died at the opponent, but he was accidentally and could not blame His Majesty. Xiaojun's sister was deeply favored by His Majesty, let alone nothing to say. Cui Zhao was sent to the Huns by His Majesty. Now that I think about it, it may be a good thing for her. As for the reduction of official positions and titles, I don't care. There is only one thing that I am worried about. I will never say it when it is not today."

Wang Helian winked, Cui Teng pretended not to see it, stared at the emperor and said, "Zhang Qinyan is an assassin, but she is dead. I really feel heartbroken. Even now, my heart is still hurting."

"What do you need me to do?" Han Ruzi asked.

Cui Teng sighed, poured himself a cup, raised it and said, "No, it's much better to say it. Usually, you are always careful in front of His Majesty, pretending not to care about anything. Being able to tell the truth is His Majesty's greatest grace."

Han Ruzi laughed and picked up the cup. Wang He immediately came over to pour the wine, "Okay, I'll punish myself for one."

Han Ruzi was about to raise her glass to drink, and a military official hurried in, panic and did not even kneel down, "The big thing is not good, the Baijia Army has rebelled!"

Cui Teng threw away the wine glass and turned around and was about to rush out. Han Ruzi shouted, "Cui Teng stayed." Then he said to the official: "Is the entire army rebelling, or is it a single army causing trouble?"

The official was stunned for a while, "I don't know yet."

"What's there to panic? The Hundreds of Army soldiers have their own generals. When they report the news, they will come to see me again and go down."

The officials were a little relieved, but they were still uneasy, "Don't you have to send someone to check the situation?"

"It's time to sleep, it's time to night, no one can act rashly." Han Ruzi paused and drank the wine in the glass, "Get out, I'm going to rest."

A faint shouting came from afar, but Han Ruzi yawned and showed tiredness. (To be continued.)
