67.Civil strife (2)
The further I went, the more I heard some voices, which were noisy, mixed with anger, and talked non-stop. Before he walked back to Zhu Di's tent, he had already seen the firelight in the sky, bright white, and at the entrance of the tent, there were more than a dozen strong men around, all of whom were at the level of generals. Sharp-eyed people have already seen Zhu Di, and everyone has attracted them as soon as they shout.
"Lord Wang."
"Lord Wang."
Although these people are still shouting about the prince, the expressions on their faces are not so polite, they are all fierce and vicious, especially when they see me beside Zhu Di, they are even more horizontal and sneering.
Zhu Di's face was still cold and angry, but at this time he had already put on a smiling face, in my opinion, that smiling face was even a little flattering, yes, he was flattering these people who were blocking his door, my heart couldn't help but tighten---- he lowered his body like this, it was for me.
"What is the matter with the generals? Let's go inside. Sanbao hurriedly lifted the curtain, Zhu Di glanced at me, I stepped aside, those people saw that I didn't go in, their faces looked a little better, and then they rushed in one by one, Sanbao saw me standing outside the tent alone, so he also stayed, stood beside me, and said in a low voice, "At this time, you really can't go in, their posture is simply to crusade against the prince." ”
"At such an important time, the prince went out to find me alone, he was confused, why are you confused? Don't you know how to stop it? I also lowered my voice and said beside Sanbao.
"I can't stop it, I originally said to let me pick you up, but the prince has to go in person. Say nothing and don't listen. But don't blame the prince for this, we all thought you were dead. You don't know how those heavenly kings survived. ”
I wanted to ask Sanbao what Zhu Di was like after I disappeared, but I was suddenly alarmed by the movement in the tent, Sanbao also listened sideways, and an excited voice inside said, "Lord Wang! It's been four years! Now there are fewer and fewer brothers who are still around, even Zhang Yu and Li Bin are dead, after fighting the Mongolian Tatars for so many years, the brothers are still alive and well, but they actually died because of their own people beating their own people, beating their former partners, former colleagues, and former brothers. We first attacked the city and the pool, but to no avail, and now we are preparing to fight against the water and directly attack the Beijing Division, but it is still like this, the brothers are getting less and less day by day, where can we still see hope? ”
After this person finished speaking, it finally quieted down, and it seemed that everyone was supporting these words with silence, and even more forcing Zhu Di to express his position with silence.
After a long time, Zhu Di said, "You are very right, and it is an indisputable fact, so what do you brothers want?" But what is the high idea to change the current situation? ”
There was silence again in the tent, and after a long time someone whispered, "Cross the river and retreat thirty miles back and set up camp." As soon as this voice came out, some people began to echo, "Yes, cross the river and retreat!" Don't do any more unnecessary casualties here. ”
"There is no advance or retreat in this battle." Zhu Di waited for all the voices to calm down, and said categorically, you brothers have followed this king for so many years, since you are tired of this kind of life, it is impossible for this king to force you, so let's do it, those who are willing to continue to move forward stand on the right, and those who do not want to move forward anymore stand on the left. ”
After Zhu Di finished speaking, there began to be a sound of rustling footsteps inside, Sanbao and I couldn't see it outside, I couldn't be in a hurry, Sanbao lifted a corner of the door curtain, I and he could see the scene inside, I saw Zhu Di sitting on a big chair, and the nearly twenty soldiers also chose their own teams, what was shocking was that except for a very small number of people who were still hesitating and standing still, everyone stood on the left!
Zhu Di's face was gloomy, he didn't say a word, and he looked extremely angry.
Sanbao also clenched his fists and stomped his feet in a hurry. I grabbed him and motioned for him not to make a move.
At this moment when people didn't dare to come out, Zhu Neng stood up, he stood on Zhu Di's right hand, and said loudly: "Back then, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was invincible in nine out of ten battles, just because of a pure heart, he persevered to the end, and after going through hardships, he finally occupied the world and called the emperor the king, so not majestic!" And those generals who followed him were feudal and land-divided, and they became famous. Now that the Southern Army is exhausted, sitting here, and our army's victory is in sight, how can it have the idea of retreating at such a time? It's like a duck that is about to arrive, it's not that the duck flies, but that we give up on our own. ”
The generals stopped talking after listening to Zhu Neng's words, after Zhang Yu's death, Zhu Neng became the first general of the Yan Division, known as prestige, and there were many cronies in the army, these generals weighed it, and slowly paced to Zhu Neng's side from the left.
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Neng who stood up to support him at this difficult moment, his eyes were full of gratitude, Zhu Neng just nodded at Zhu Di honestly, everything was silent.
The generals and soldiers jointly crusaded against Zhu Di this time, not only because the war was protracted and there was no hope, but there was also a fuse that had not been opened, but because of Zhu Di's face, he didn't dare to say anything. That is, Zhu Di actually left the entire camp at this important juncture, just for one woman. And that woman is me.
Now that they have made such a fuss, they should be angry out, and they know that the current situation cannot be changed, and they know that Zhu Di is right, there is no retreat in this battle, from the first day they followed Zhu Di, they also embarked on a road of no return, as long as they failed, they would be punished as anti-thieves, and one by one only the end of beheading. After all these people left, I walked into the tent, and when I arrived at Zhu Di's side, he was still sitting on the chair, but his straight body was now a little loose and crooked. I know that his situation is no less than the last battlefield, and the victory and defeat on the battlefield are not so serious, if all these generals quit the battle and leave, then this team will immediately collapse and become a plate of scattered sand, which will be disposed of by the imperial court.
I looked at his hand, only to see him clenching his fist tightly, pinching his index finger with his thumb, although the person was scattered, his hand still did not let go, I broke his hand away, only to see a deep nail mark on the index finger, my heart was distressed, squatting on his leg, holding his hand, kissing the mark on the index finger, and whispering, "It will pass, it will pass soon." ”
Zhu Di put his hand on my head, rubbed it gently, and muttered, "I have also been shaken, but the reality is too cruel, I must persevere." As always, no matter how difficult it is, as long as you persevere, there will be hope. You don't know, when I want to give up the most. ”
His voice was almost so low that I couldn't hear it, like a dream, and I looked up and looked at him stupidly, "When?" ”
Zhu Di looked at me and didn't answer, "I'm sorry, I brought you back but I couldn't let you rest for so long, why are you still standing outside, you look at your face, it's getting paler and paler, and there is no blood at all." Zhu Di grabbed my hand again, lowered his head, and said distressedly, "You have lost so much weight, what have you experienced, and I am not by your side." I'm sorry. ”
I hurriedly buried my head in his thigh, "Don't say it, don't say it." ”
Zhu Di stood up and pulled me up, "Don't go anywhere, just rest here with me." I'll get you something to eat. It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to get bird's nest for you to eat tonight. ”
I chuckled, "I'm like a gluttonous cat, and I'm going to die of hunger if I can't eat bird's nest for a day." ”
Zhu Di was also amused by me, and took me to a compartment inside, a simple bed, Zhu Di helped me lie down, squatted at the head of the bed, and kissed me lightly on the forehead, "You sleep first, I still have something to do, I'm outside, you can call me if you have something." ”
I nodded, "Okay, go, don't delay me any longer." ”
Zhu Di's face was full of apologies, and he walked out step by step. I looked at the candlelight outside, but I felt a sense of relief that I hadn't felt in months. I gradually fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long it took, Zhu Di's gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Ah Yi, wake up." ”
I opened my eyes in a daze, only to see Zhu Di put a hand into my back and helped me up, but there was a bowl of thick stuff in his hand, not to mention looking at it, just smelling it, I also know what it is, it is the bird's nest that I have been eating for many months. "Where did it come from? Didn't you say there wasn't one here?"
"Let them search in the kitchen." Zhu Di said with a smile, while already scooping a spoonful to my lips, "Drink it while it's hot." ”
Zhu Di's army must be very tight when he hits here, there must be no such thing in the army, I know that he is afraid that I will scold him so he deliberately said this. I swallowed the bird's nest, it was sweet, I just felt that I had never drunk such a delicious bird's nest. But tears gradually swirled in his eyes. Zhu Di immediately noticed the change in me, and before my tears could flow out, he had already reached out to wipe away my tears.
"Gluttonous and crying, what do you say you are not a child?"
I burst into laughter, couldn't hold back any longer, stretched my neck, put my lips to Zhu Di's lips, and kissed them fiercely, Zhu Di probably never imagined that I would have such a time in his life, his eyes widened, and he looked at me in surprise, I raised my eyes and looked at his eyes, with a smile in my eyes, and slowly closed my eyes.
With a "clang", the bowl and spoon in Zhu Di's hand fell to the ground, and Zhu Di tightly surrounded me and fought back more fiercely.
