Chapter 141: Wood is like this, how can people be worthy
The long sword pierced through his chest with red blood, but it didn't hurt Li Meng's heart for half a minute.
However, Li Meng still felt a pain in his heart, tugging at the pain in his heart. He stared blankly at the sword on his chest, and also at the owner of the sword, his eyes full of surprise and unwillingness.
Zhao Cen!
In the past, he was the deputy general of Hugao Pass, and today he is one of the three major generals of Mengjin Pass.
It was the robe in his army, it was his brother who had died on the battlefield, and it was the one he dared to hand over his back. But why do you feel so strange when you look at him now?
Brother Li, I'm sorry!
Zhao Cen looked at the pathos in Li Meng's eyes and sighed, let go of the hand on the sword, silently took a step back, and stood side by side with several personal guards, a trace of pain looming in his eyes: "Dong Zhuo subverted the Han family and caused chaos in the world, and the whole world is the enemy." Although Zhao is not talented, he is also a person of Yan Zhao, how can he defile this innocent body? May it be today..."
"What do you wish for today?" Xu Rong, who was escorted by two columns of guards, walked over, his expression was flat and not angry, "Today I would like to cut off the head of my old brother who doesn't know the current affairs and give it to the Kwantung Coalition Army for promotion?" ”
Zhao Cen looked at Xu Rong, the shame and struggle in his eyes flashed, and a trace of indifference and murder gradually appeared on his eyelids: "Not bad! Anyone who stands in the way of my heavenly soldiers will be killed! ”
Xu Rong slowly walked in front of Li Meng, gently patted Li Meng's shoulder, turned his head, and looked at Zhao Cen sadly: "Have you forgotten that under Fufeng City, we are facing several times the bloody yellow sand of Qianghu, and it was Brother Li Meng who blocked the knife for you?" In Fengxiang City, there are still many traitors in the city where we initially decided to rebel, and it was Brother Li Meng who took a cold shot for you? ”
"Of course I didn't forget!" Zhao Cen raised his hand to interrupt Xu Rong's words, looked at Li Meng coldly and said, "And I still remember that in addition to Fufeng City and Fengxiang City, there was also in Qingfeng Canyon back then, and General Li Meng also saved me once." General Lee, am I right? ”
Li Meng slowly stepped forward and leaned against Xu Rong with the hand of the military doctor, looked at Zhao Cen and nodded.
"It's good if you don't deny it. So, General Li Meng, do you remember Yanmen County, Bishui Lake, Yulin County and Lijiaao? ”
"Yes, I remember, you saved me four times!"
Zhao Cen looked at Li Meng sarcastically: "So, you actually owe me my life, right?" ”
Li Meng's expression was gloomy, his face became more and more pale, but he still nodded firmly: "Yes, I still owe you my life, you can take it today!" ”
"General Zhao, you can't say that, if it weren't for the hard work of General Li Meng under Fufeng City at the beginning, where would you still have Yanmen County, Bishui Lake and Yulin County later?" Ignoring Li Meng's pull, Xu Rong Huoran stood in front of Li Meng and shouted, "Over the years, you and my brothers have followed Xiang Guorong and Ma Yu, and the blood stained the battlefield, you save me, I save you, our blood is almost melted together, can you still tell the difference?" ”
"I really can't tell the difference!"
"Since you can't tell the difference, then why do you choose to betray?" Xu Rong looked at Zhao Cen like a torch, and the light in his eyes seemed to pierce Zhao Cen's heart.
Zhao Cen sneered: "Why? Does this need to be why? Dong Zhuo plotted against him, murdered the young emperor and kidnapped the new monarch, and killed so many loyal ministers and innocent people. ”
"Tell the truth!"
"Isn't that true?"
"It's true, but it's not what you're talking about!"
"Truth? Really from the heart? Zhao Cen was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed, a trace of ridicule hung on the corner of his mouth, "Lies hurt people, the truth is sad, the handsome wants Zhao to tell the truth, Zhao dares to say it, but I am afraid that the handsome will listen."
Cannot! ”
"As long as it's the truth, if you dare to say it, Ben Shuai will dare to listen!"
"Okay, since you want me to say it, then I'll tell you!" Zhao Cen's gaze swept around everyone, and a wisp of gloom hung on his face, "Zhao was born in Liangzhou, Zhao got up in Liangzhou, and has been in the army for more than ten years since he was seventeen years old, and he has never returned to his hometown.
I'm gone, I'm not at home; My aunt died, and I was not at home; My hometown was hit by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the whole village was slaughtered by thieves, and I was not at home! I gave with all my blood and the lives of my loved ones, and what did I get?
In yesterday's battle, the blood waves were rolling on the pontoon, and Mengjindu was in danger. But what about Dong Gong? What about Dong Gong, who I worked so hard for? Cowardly as a mouse, he didn't want to hold on, and rolled back to Luoyang City overnight, but left tens of thousands of brothers such as me to resist the formidable soldiers of the Kwantung Coalition Army with flesh and blood!
The banner is about to be broken, what will be the lonely general? Wang Deyu sang the hearts of our brothers, but does he know that we are the lords of the Lord? He didn't know that he was just thinking about being the emperor now, and he wanted to take the man off the dragon chair and sit on it himself.
Therefore, he now only has Yang Biao, Xun Shuang, Huang Wan, Ma Ri and other old ministers in his mind, and he only has Gate Valve, Gao Di and the family in his mind now. What about this group of generals who accompany him to fight the world? It's either suspicion or suspicion.
With him, I saw no hope. Following him, I also can't see the peace of the world. I'm already tired, and I'm even scared, I'm afraid that I haven't left my Zhao family with blood, so I will inexplicably block the blade for others. These days, as soon as I close my eyes, the faces of my mother, my father, and my fellow villagers will flash in my mind. ”
It is good to say that soldiers eat imperial food, but how many people really think about their thoughts and their relatives?
Looking at Zhao Cen's gloomy but crazy eyes, Xu Rong suddenly had palpitations, his face was sad, and there was a little sadness in his eyes: "If you want to lead the crowd to surrender to the enemy, this commander will definitely not object, but why did you assassinate General Li Meng?" ”
Zhao Cen sighed and looked at Xu Rong and Li Meng blankly: "Do you remember the elm money trees we planted back then?" ”
Xu Rong was stunned, but Li Meng's face was suddenly covered with a blur.
Back then, when Zhao Cen first came to the army, because he was most compatible with Li Meng, Yang Ding, Wang Fang and others in the army, several people planted a few elm money trees in the yellow sand when they had nothing to do, and also agreed that when the world returned to their hometowns in the future, they must gather under the elm money tree.
Zhao Cen wiped his eyes, and then said, "I know you haven't been to see it, right?" I went to see it, and now the little saplings are arm-thick. Wood is like this, how can people be worthy? Yang Ding and Wang Fang died on the battlefield, and only a few of us were still counting the days.
Good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord and do things, I want to live a few days of peace in the world as soon as possible, and I also want to marry a daughter-in-law to leave a seed for my Zhao family as soon as possible.
So, I had to make a new choice. Therefore, when you aim your arrows and bows at the coalition forces under the city, you will no longer be my brother, but my enemy! ”
Zhao Cen didn't have any grandiose words, but he said it with sincerity, and at the same time expressed the hearts of all the soldiers present.
Which of them does not desire peace in the world? Who doesn't aspire to be able to marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a litter of cubs, and rest at sunrise and sunset? After all, there are only a few people who want to make contributions and become marquises immediately!
What's more, under the fierce attack of the Kwantung Coalition Army, the lord they worship as gods has already abandoned them like straw sandals under the front of the Kwantung Coalition Army!
They held the swords in their hands tightly, and slowly gathered towards Zhao Cen, surrounding Zhao Cen in the middle
Beg.
"So when you were in the Guandong camp under the Tiger Prison, you already chose Yuan Shao, right?" Xu Rong sighed, with an indescribable sarcasm in the corners of his eyes, "Do you think that if you choose Yuan Shao, you can really see the peace of the world?" ”
"Maybe not, but Yuan Benchu is the leader of the Fourth and Third Gongguan Eastern Alliance, and it is better than Dong Zhuo who is trapped in a lonely city and turns his back on us, isn't it!"
Xu Rong shook his head, handed Li Meng to the guards beside him, and with a "clang", the light of the waist knife flashed out of the sheath, and a cool bend reflected his calm face: "Yes, you are right, it is better to have hope than no hope, and there is always hope in life!"
You took refuge in Yuan Shao and betrayed Xiangguo, and Ben Shuai can understand it. But you shouldn't have given General Li Meng a sword behind his back! Because, he is also Ben Shuai's brother! ”
After finishing speaking, Xu Rong jumped up, the long knife was like a dragon, and a silver dragon fell towards Zhao Cen's head.
"Dang!"
Before Zhao Cen could resist, the silver light flashed, and a wisp of Jin Ge's voice exploded in his head, Zhao Cen hurriedly retreated, and one person had already flown to the head of the city, with a long knife in his hand on his head, just against Xu Rong.
"I'm a senior cadre under the account of Duke Yuan, how long will you wait if you surrender?" Gao Gan let out a long roar, and all the soldiers were stunned, and then saw a burst of silver and bright soldiers flying up to the city, and several generals descended from the sky as if they were gods.
The spear swims the dragon, the black spear spirit snake, the big sword tiger, and the silver halberd bright moon.
The generals and colonels were like tigers entering the flock, and between the dance of their weapons, the soldiers who resisted by the arrows fell to the ground like hemp rods in the field.
The carved bow, tiger bow, waist crossbow, horn bow, and the crossbow and bed crossbow on the side also could not escape fate, or the bow broke or broke the string, or scattered into a mess.
Zhao Yun, the leader of the general, shot out, and a bed crossbow weighing hundreds of pounds flew up in the city like a huge wave, turned over several times in mid-air, and smashed on the city head, raising a huge puff of smoke and dust, and the city head was shaken, as if the earth dragon turned over under Mengjin Pass.
When the dust and smoke dissipated, Zhao Yun's spear pointed straight into the air, and he looked at everyone in white: "How long will you wait if you surrender?" ”
"If you don't surrender, when will you wait?" Xiahou, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Cao Ren and Zhang Fei and other generals stood side by side in a row like thunder, the soldiers were cold, and a few people actually had the momentum of thousands of troops.
The Xiliang soldiers had long since risen to the slightest confidence in the duel.
Dong Zhuo's sudden betrayal and Zhao Cen's counterattack dealt them a fatal blow. They glanced at each other, silently pointing their swords and crossbows to the ground, but the duties of the soldiers kept their weapons tightly in their hands.
There was no longer any barrier on the top of the city, and the arrows, logs, boiling water, and boulders were like birds and flying insects in spring, and they fled back to the forest and hibernate underground in a frightening lightning.
More and more Kwantung soldiers climbed onto the top of the city and stood tightly behind the generals.
Xu Rong clenched his fists tightly, looked gloomily at the robe that fell in a pool of blood, looked at the more and more Kwantung soldiers on the city, looked at the majestic tiger general who pointed at the world not far away, and also looked at Li Meng, who was breathing weaker and weaker beside him: "The generals listen to the order, Dong Gong abandons the city and flees, Ben Shuai can't bear to wait for you to wait for the innocent to die, Ben Shuai ordered you to put down your weapons as soon as possible, don't make senseless resistance!" ”
The solemn atmosphere in the air was blown away by Xu Rong's words, and the swords, bows and crossbows in the hands of the Xiliang soldiers were abandoned to the ground one after another, and the sonorous sounds were endless.
The sound of "Ka Cha Ka Cha" sounded, and the stone gate closed by Meng Jin slowly hung up to the city, and the huge city gate instantly turned into a passage from hell to heaven.
One thought of hell, one thought of heaven.
