Chapter 44 A General's Heart

A battle between the armies of the two vassal kings of Chu and the king of the East China Sea in Xiling City, for the people who were used to war, did not pay too much attention, it was not that they did not care, they were really numb.

Because the result is nothing more than the defeat of one side, the death and wounding of some of the troops, the loss of one or several cities, and then the other forces take the opportunity to take advantage of it, and so on.

It's better to hear that the stupid son of the Zhang family actually took his daughter-in-law, the daughter of the Li family, who was already angry, could also receive a rich bride price, how many times did the eldest man and his new daughter-in-law come in one night, and so on.

News like this can make ordinary people more concerned, and it can also be talked about among the villagers.

Of course, there will be times when there is the unexpected.

It is reported that when the army of the king of the East China Sea entered Jiangxia County in Chu and the king of Chu sent his army to meet the attack, the Taoist sage Nie Shidao, who had always promoted the "grand wish to stop killing", did not appear in front of the opposing two armies for the first time, and let the two armies in front of Xiling City fight to the death, and the blood flowed like a river.

There are some people with good deeds, so they deliberately went to the Ziji Palace in Luofu Mountain, wanting to see if the saint had any accidents, but they all went away with excitement and returned disappointed, and they were all stopped by a little Taoist boy outside the mountain gate.

Xiao Daotong said that his master was in retreat and did not see anyone.

However, these things on the table, ordinary people can't do this idle mind, but the 20,000 troops of Dongyue were all annihilated by the Chu army outside Xiling City, and even the Huwei general Liu Ba was killed in front of the battle, which is unexpected.

Even Dongyue reassessed the strength of the Chu State. The Dongyue temple was more concerned about the 20,000-strong army being wiped out by the Chu army, while the Donghai royal palace was more concerned about who in the Chu army killed Liu Ba.

Before the war, all parties were not optimistic about the old Chu king, because the strength of the two sides was too different. At present, only Rong Guo dares to take the edge of the King of the East China Sea in the world.

The news of the assassination of Xuanyuan Ge, the second prince of Dongyue, not only made the people of the six states of Dongyue and the neighboring Jingzhou and Yangzhou in an uproar, but even the king of Rongguo in the west and the king of Chengdu in Bashu, as well as Zhuhu in the north, were also sideways.

This is the real one who rejoices and some who are sad, but after all, there are more people who rejoice than those who are sad, just like a man of God who is so high that a mortal dares to punch and kick him, and even cut off a small piece of meat.

The myth was broken, which surprised most people, but what everyone was most concerned about was the person who dared to pull the tiger beard of the king of the East China Sea.

------

Huaizhou City, located in the south of Jiangxia County, has been completely martial law.

On the same day, Zhao Yi, Yan Chong, and Wild Cat Zi, after waiting for the opportunity to leave Fang County, rushed all the way non-stop, and finally rushed back to Huaizhou City before dark, and reported to Wei Tian the military situation of the army led by Hu Yanzhuo, the general of Dongyue Fenwei, to attack Huaizhou.

On the next day, Wei Tian received another secret order from the general Jinghu, telling him to hold Huaizhou City and hold off Huyanzhuo's army, and there was also a death order: to hold Huyanzhuo's army for three days.

These three days were prepared to encircle and annihilate Liu Ba's army, Wei Tian knew, so he had to complete this task no matter what.

Although the news that the East Vietnamese army was coming to attack Huaizhou City was blocked by Weitian, the paper could not contain the fire after all.

The news spread quickly in the city of Huaizhou, and the people in the city began to panic, and even began to be chaotic.

General Wei Tian urgently issued three military orders:

The first is to post notices in the city, telling the people in the city that those who do not want to stay and defend the city together are limited to one day, and leave the city on their own, and will not be blocked.

Second, all the 1,000 soldiers and horses outside the city withdrew to the city, and the 4,000 soldiers and horses inside the city joined together to defend the city.

The third is that the 100 scouts of the scout battalion also joined the defending army after returning to the city.

Wei Tian stood on the tower of the South Gate, wearing battle armor and a long sword hanging from his waist, his figure was not tall and majestic, but he had a sharp spirit.

Wei Tian looked ordinary, with a young face, rough and dark, only the sword eyebrows were impressive.

The official road under the city was crowded with people with their families, and they rushed to run out of the city, most of them looking panicked. When Wei Tian in the city saw this scene, he was not angry or blamed at all, but he felt a trace of unbearability in his heart.

He was originally an ordinary farmer's child, and he knew that the life that the people wanted most in their hearts was not high-ranking officials, glory and wealth, but the life of his wife and children on the hot kangtou, with a family of four, a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and a hot meal to eat every day, and that's it.

It's just that years of war have broken the simplest wish in the hearts of the people.

Wei Tian went from an ordinary soldier in the Shenfeng Army to a soldier monk with an adventure, and he was never afraid of death when he started fighting, so he accumulated military merits step by step, and moved to the current first military captain, a general who stands alone.

Over the years, Wei Tian has been following the general Jinghu to resist foreign enemies, and has worked tirelessly and lived and died to defend the peace of the two states of Chu.

It's just that the more battles are fought, the more people are displaced and their wives are separated.

The Gale Dynasty has become fragmented, the Hu people in the north have taken the opportunity to go south, and Wei Tian has been dealing with the southern Xinjiang for several years, and those barbarian tribes are often restless.

Sometimes in Wei Tian's heart, there will be some doubts that he can't understand, why this world is getting more and more chaotic, and this war seems to be endless.

A scout who returned to the city from the east interrupted Wei Tian's thoughts, and this scout brought a military information that Hu Yanzhuo's forward soldiers and horses had arrived at Broken Snake Mountain, fifty miles away from Huaizhou City, and strangely they were stationed in Broken Snake Mountain, and they were not in a hurry to attack the city.

Wei Tian glanced at the scout, and saw that he was not very strong, with a handsome face like a woman, and a pair of beautiful eyes that were sharp and restrained, with an occasional flash of essence.

turned out to be a handsome young man, who didn't look like a scout who was often in a brutal fight, but more like a scholar who danced and wrote in the academy.

Just as the young scout was about to leave, Wei Tian stopped him, and the young scout quickly turned around and waited, his movements clean.

"What's your name, how old are you this year?" asked Wei Tian.

The young scout replied: "General Yu, my name is Zhao Yi, and I am eighteen years old this year. ”

Wei Tian nodded and said, "Encountered the enemy?"

Zhao Yi took a look at the blood stains on his body and said: "I encountered the other party's scouts in a village twenty miles outside the city, there were five people on the other side, three of us, the other party was completely wiped out by us, one of us was seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured. ”

The young man spoke in a steady and meticulous tone.

Wei Tian nodded with satisfaction, took two steps forward and reached out to pat Zhao Yi's shoulder, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Who else is at home?"

Zhao Yi hesitated, he didn't know how to answer this question for a while, Zhao Yi thought for a moment, and finally said honestly: "There is also an uncle." ”

Wei Tian looked at Zhao Yi again, the more he looked at the young man in front of him, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help blurting out: "You come and follow me." ”

Zhao Yi also looked up at Wei Tian, the tall general in front of him was full of an amazing sharp aura, like a flying sword hidden in the sword box, which would break out at any time.

The battlefield general was originally sharp, and if he was still a soldier monk, it would be even more extraordinary.

Wei Tian saw that Zhao Yi was silent, and said with a smile: "How about being my guard?"

Zhao Yi grinned, showing a hint of emotion, and said, "Thank you for the general's kindness, but I don't want to leave the scout camp." ”

Wei Tian looked at the young man in front of him with interest, and was a little surprised, letting him be his own guard was tantamount to paving a way for him to be promoted, but he didn't want to be easily rejected by this young man, and still chose to be a scout who would die at any time.

"Oh, like to be a scout?" asked Wei Tian.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said calmly: "I also want to avenge our Commander." ”

Wei Tian's sharp eyes stared closely at the young scout in front of him who said hatred so plainly, and was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "Go down!"

Zhao Yi clenched his fists and turned to leave.

Looking at Zhao Yi's departing figure, Wei Tian suddenly felt a little emotion in his heart, as if he saw himself when he was a teenager.

Since that day in Fang County, Zhao Yi has never seen the two of them again, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he blames himself in his heart, in order to behave like an ordinary soldier, he lost two good brothers.

Also this time, the three of them were on a mission in a place called Xiazhuang Village, and they met a group of Dongyue scouts, and in the battle, Yan Chong blocked a sword for him, losing a right arm.

After the battle, Zhao Yi hugged Yan Chong, who had passed out due to excessive blood loss, and shed tears for the first time since joining the scout camp.

The wild cat who was on the side at the time also cried bitterly, he stayed with Yan Chong for a longer time, and his brotherhood was deep.

When he escaped from Los Angeles and mixed with the homeless people, Zhao Yi suffered a lot, suffered a lot of white eyes and bullying, and later entered the army, and in life and death battles again and again, he felt the fate of his brothers on the battlefield again and again.

Zhao Yi believes that there is sincerity and Akagi in this world, and there is care without asking for anything in return, even if it is a loss of life for this.

Since Zhao Yi came to the scout camp, he felt this kind of care again, every time the old man eats, he is afraid that he will not be full, so he will give him a portion of his own food.

Every time after training, Yan Chong felt that he was a new recruit, and he would run over to help him massage and relax regardless of his hard work.

Every time the clever ghost wildcat doesn't know where to get something interesting, he will also come to share it with him, and the honest brute bull will always giggle on the side and silently encourage him.

Zhao Yi secretly swore that after this battle, he must go to Fang County to find the old man and the wild cow, regardless of life or death.

Similarly, Zhao Yi also warned himself that he was no longer afraid of revealing his identity, and when the crisis came, he hid his strength.
