Chapter 162: Blood and Tears
Chu Feiyan didn't have time to make any preparations at all, Pang Deyi had already led Li Haishan, who was wearing a green shirt, into in.
Li Haishan was also a famous general in the Styx, and his reputation was only below Xie Yun and others, and he was known as one of the three heroes of the Styx.
Chu Feiyan had a relationship with him in Yangcheng back then, and Xie Yun specially invited him to echo in the north in order to go north to support smoothly.
After the Battle of Chishui River, Li Haishan successfully attracted most of the attention of the enemy coalition forces under extremely unfavorable circumstances, and was able to get Xie Yun to reach Jinghua City in time.
After realizing that he had been deceived, the enemy coalition launched a retaliatory onslaught against Li Haishan's troops, and finally heard that he had resisted for half a month in the small city of Pawa, and never gave up until he had a single soldier, but he ran out of manpower and finally lost his whereabouts.
Afterwards, even the commander-in-chief of the enemy army who participated in that battle was quite emotional: "General Lee's loyalty is unparalleled in the world."
Most people in the world think that he has been poisoned, and Chu Feiyan has always admired this young general who loves to laugh. As far as the marching formation is concerned, he may not be able to match him.
At this time, he saw the familiar side face again, as if he was in a different world, he lowered his body, his face was extremely respectful, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but the gray and bloodshot eyes could no longer see the look of the past.
"Come, Brother Li. Hurry up and see the Inspector." Pang Deyi was a little drunk, and slapped Li Haishan hard, pushing him in front of Chu Feiyan.
Li Haishan didn't care about Pang Deyi's rude behavior, raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Chu Feiyan, and soon fell again. Chu Feiyan turned his body slightly to the side, trying not to look at him.
"Sin General Li Haishan has seen an adult", he bent down respectfully, and didn't seem to recognize Chu Feiyan.
Chu Feiyan was very uncomfortable when he saw him making this big gift to himself, and twisted his head to the side. Pang Deyi thought he was displeased, his face immediately became gloomy, and he scolded Li Haishan: "Don't hurry up and kneel down for the inspector!"
Li Haishan was obviously stunned, but soon his eyes were lowered, and he wanted to kneel.
Chu Feiyan couldn't let him suffer such a great humiliation, so he walked up to Li Haishan with a smile and pulled him up affectionately: "I heard that General Li is loyal and righteous, and it is really my luck to be able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light today.
As soon as Pang Deyi heard this, he immediately smiled: "Then it all depends on your lord! To be honest, in order to persuade General Li to surrender, Pang Mou did spend a lot of effort." And then he bragged about how he knew how to reason, how he moved with emotion, and so on.
Chu Feiyan obviously didn't have any intention to listen to what he was preaching, because Li Haishan's thin fingers grabbed his wrist hard. Chu Feiyan was startled, it seemed that he still recognized himself, and at the same time, from the faint pulse from his fingertips, he sensed that he was already a waste at this time, his body was weak and weak, and he didn't know what kind of pain he had experienced to make one of the three heroes of the once high-spirited Stygian Water fall to this point.
Li Haishan's gray eyes showed a sincere light, Chu Feiyan knew that he had something to say to himself, so he deliberately coughed twice, and then changed his words: "However, Pang Zhoumu, you must not take it lightly." General Li Haishan's reputation for loyalty has long been known abroad, and whether this person is sincere in surrendering or has some other purpose will have to be interrogated separately."
"I wonder if the huge people think it should be?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Pang Deyi's eyes, he glanced at the two suspiciously, and then said with a smile on his face: "General Li is naturally reliable, my lord, please."
After the two turned around, Pang Deyi did not forget to advise: "The general must not live up to Chiyan's kindness." "There was a lot of threat in the words.
In a closed room, the two men looked at each other and fell into a brief silence, both trying to find something familiar in each other's eyes, only to find that they had become somewhat strange.
After a long time, the two said almost at the same time: "I believe in you".
Just one word is worth ten thousand words, and there is no time to sigh and sigh, Chu Feiyan asked directly: "What does the general want to tell me?"
After standing for a while, Li Haishan was already tired, and his legs were a little trembling: "Let me sit down first." He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe there is a providence in the dark, so that I can still hold this crippled body to see you"
"General!", Chu Feiyan saw deep sorrow in his eyes.
"You come closer. Li Haishan beckoned.
Chu Feiyan didn't know what he meant, but he still leaned his head over as he said. Suddenly, a withered palm groped at his face. The beard was a little wet and cool, as if something had stuck to his face.
"You have also experienced a lot of vicissitudes", Li Haishan smiled gently, as if returning to the warm days of the year.
"This is what General Li should look like", Li Haishan took out a bronze mirror and handed it to Chu Feiyan, and smiled with satisfaction.
What Chu Feiyan saw in the mirror was another face, which was exactly what Li Haishan was in high spirits back then.
Chu Feiyan was surprised: "Why is this so?"
Li Haishan gasped: "I can't go back, I want you to return to Jinghua City alive for me to see if she is okay?"
Chu Feiyan exclaimed: "You mean sister-in-law? No, I can find a way to take you back with me."
Li Haishan shook his head: "Do you know what they did to force me to surrender?"
With that, he laughed to himself, and his tone was so eerie and cold that his originally sickly face looked particularly hideous. Chu Feiyan subconsciously took a step back, and Li Haishan in front of him seemed to be a different person in an instant.
"When the city of Pawa fell, I crawled out of the pile of dead people and returned to Jinghua City with all my heart. Due to the tight lockdown and the number of injuries I suffered, I ended up stranded in River State. I sent several times to contact Jinghua City, hoping that a small group of soldiers would come to meet me, but there was no news. In desperation, I could only humbly hide under the noses of the enemy, waiting for the situation to change. ”
"However, my whereabouts leaked by someone half a year ago let Yao Wuyi know about my existence. Although Hezhou fell, there were still people in various places who resisted from time to time, and because of my prestige and reputation, they hoped to use me as an example of surrender. ”
"How could I agree?" Suddenly, Li Haishan's face became extremely remorseful: "Hehehe, I should have agreed earlier!"
"Yao Wuyi is ruthless and bloodthirsty, and in order to force me to submit, he has been slaughtering 100 people every day since half a year ago, regardless of men, women and children. And every time I kill someone, I have to declare to the public that they died because of me, Li Haishan."
"At first, the people of Hezhou were unmoved by this brutal act, but still regarded me as a hero, shouting that General Li must not give in. However, everyone including me far underestimated the brutality of Yao Wuyi. He made people understand a truth, blood and horror can change people's will, if not, it will be even more brutal and bloody!"
"The massacre lasted for 100 days, 10,000 people died, rivers of blood flowed, and every day the smell of fish filled the sky over Hezhou. The people began to grow terrified and frightened, not knowing when such a slaughter would end. The people of Hezhou began to become silent and began to question my decision, and then from three months ago, Yao Wuyi announced that 500 people would be slaughtered every day!"
"Ten days later, when Yao Wuyi escorted me out into the streets, I saw angry eyes. They shouted that I was a dog thief, and that I had no regard for the lives of the people of the city for the sake of my own honor."
Speaking of this, Li Haishan looked at Chu Feiyan with tears in his eyes: "You say... What do you think I'm going to do?"
