End of May.

When Anwar did not receive much assistance, Xiang Yiming and his party accepted Wenyuan's opinion.

Although Anhua County is still in a tense atmosphere on the surface, in the city, some soldiers are secretly ready to retreat.

In the camp where Xiang Yiming was located, Shu Liang had already led 2,000 troops, and followed Wen Yuan and a few people to Wanping, the richest of the nearby counties, and won the supply of the city. Xiang Yiming and the soldiers stationed in Anwar will immediately turn back to support Fang Yan, who is struggling to support him in the rear.

"It's not going to come too slowly.... Alas...."Xiang Yiming tilted his head and looked at the iron-gray sky, he knew that it would not be long before the heavy rain would pour.

..........

【River】

Hundreds of large ships are scattered in the winding river, and thousands of masts echo in the distance.

The rebel Yue ironclad soldiers went to Anwar in two ways, the deputy general Wang Xi led 40,000 troops to set off by land, and the general of Yue Guo Zhao Wuke led 60,000 troops by water.

A few red-billed sand gulls landed on the mast, and Zhao Wuke looked at it, standing on the deck with the hilt of his sword, his gray hair swaying against the wind.

"Father, it's windy outside..."Behind him, a man in black armor slowly approached him, holding a thick coat in his hand.

"Li'er, I remember that nine years ago, I said something to you. A smile appeared in Zhao Wuke's eyes, and he quickly became dark, "One day, if you defeat him, you can conquer the Quartet." "That's what I said to you nine years ago." ”

"Father, it's ten years left in six months. The man glanced at Zhao Wuke's back, and he added, "I still remember him, and I regard him as my opponent in this life." ”

"You're looking forward to this showdown, aren't you?" Zhao Wuwu muttered, "The person who has been beating you in the ring, you really want to prove yourself in front of him and get the other party's affirmation, right?"

The man behind him didn't speak, and when his eyes changed, the man slowly walked up, put on a thick coat for Zhao Wuke, and looked at Anwar's direction from afar.

A small piece of broken jade was touched by Zhao Wuke, he looked at the word 'Zhao' on it, sighed fiercely, and pinched it with his hand, "Li'er, do you want to hear my story?"

Zhao Li was stunned behind him, he didn't know why his father had such a melancholy expression recently.

"I entered the battle gate at the age of fifteen, and Xiang Yiming's father was actually the child of my junior brother. He didn't wait for Zhao Li to reply, he just said to himself, "He is smarter than me, and his combat thinking is far more intelligent than mine, but he is the most unsuitable person to go to the battlefield among the three of us in the same period." ”

When Zhao Wuwu spoke, he paused and began to laugh softly. He still remembered the young man who drank with a knife, smiled for the Pomeranian, and was willing to scatter his wealth.

"Brother Wu, do you know what the greatest luck in life is? A beautiful woman smiles and drinks good wine, this is the greatest blessing in life. ”

"If I can, I want to carry the beauty on my back to the battlefield, and hold hands with the Yiren in the Jin Ge Iron Horse and laugh at the rivers and mountains. ”

"No big brother, I'm in love with her, but I know it's a fox girl's trap, but the person who falls into it can't get up. ”

...........

"When I left the battle gate, I asked him what if we met him on the battlefield?" Zhao Wuwu said, his eyes becoming more and more trance-like, "At that time, he replied to me, if I am defeated, I will be his prisoner, if he is defeated, he will be my general." ”

Having said this, Zhao Li seemed to be thinking, when the Zhou State was destroyed, the general of the Zhou State, Xiang Ke, was trapped in the encirclement of the Six Nations Army, he faced the military horses of the Six Kingdoms, waved his sword and ran to the position of the Yue Army, in the dark, the man had chosen his own fate.

The people of the war gate are not prisoners, and if they are irretrievably defeated, they can only die.

"When he died, he asked me to take care of his family. After Zhao Wuke was silent for a moment, he spoke slowly again, "Under the sky in the night, I found Xiang Yiming, who was standing two hundred meters away from the opposite side, watching his father with his back to him and fall into my arms. ”

"Why are you saying this to me?" Zhao Li was silent for a while, and he slowly spoke, "His background, in the past few years, I have already guessed. ”

"If I die on the battlefield, you don't have to seek revenge on him. Zhao Wuwu said calmly, "My child can't hate a person because of a different position." ”

"Hmph..."Zhao Li snorted coldly, there are 100,000 people in the Yue Kingdom to crusade against the rebellion this time, and how many people are in the Xuzhou Business Alliance represented by Xiang Yiming, this is a war without suspense, when the sharp spear pierces the rotten shield, the shield will inevitably be disintegrated immediately.

"My father doesn't need to be sad and blame himself for what happened back then, it's just a matter of position. Zhao Wu couldn't reply, and his tone was already casual, "The winner lives, and the loser dies, this is the rule on the battlefield." Why should my father be so upset if he behaves in the rules?"

"Hehe...."

Zhao Wuwu laughed heavily, "Li'er, if you personally kill someone who is extremely close to you with a knife, you will know how uncomfortable it is." ”

Zhao Li was silent for a while again, his eyes were changing, and he spoke, "Father, I have never been... I heard from my mother that it was he who held your hand and swung the knife, and he..."

"Well, he said that among the armies of the Six Nations, it is the best ending to die at my hands. Zhao Wuwu interrupted Zhao Li's words and spoke in a self-absorbed manner.

Zhao Li stared at his father's back, lowered his head, as if he was evading, "The reason why you are so mean and cold to him is because you want him not to have to bear the same pain as you in the future?" he said, pausing, "I will not let him become a threat to his father, on the battlefield, Li'er will become his father's strongest thick shield." ”

"He is also ruthless to you, you don't hate me, every time you force you to fight him, because of your failure, you will target him, so that the kid doesn't like you. Zhao Wuwu laughed, and there was a joke in his tone.

"Hehe, I don't like that kid either. Zhao Li sneered, put the sword on the deck, and suddenly solemn, "Even if my father can't bear to kill him, if I meet him on the battlefield, I won't be soft!"

This is exactly what the Father wants to see. Zhao Wuwu turned around and patted Zhao Li's shoulder heavily, "You are ruthless to him, and you don't care about it on the battlefield." ”

Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, Zhao Wuke passed by him, he looked into the distance, there are still four or five days to reach Anwar, and the army that takes the dry road may be faster.
