Chapter II
Yu Hua closed his eyes, his expression was slightly drunk, as if he was self-absorbed, indulging in some of the good things he had been: "Shan Mu was ordered to lead the army to expel Beisen and Xi Miao's army, because Xi Miao was in charge of Marshal Sun at the beginning, and Shan Mu led a small number of troops to fight against Beisen, who only had a few military forces. And I was only a commander who followed your father at that time, because at that time the army was dissatisfied with Shan Mu, and did not believe that this young man could bring us a victory that would increase our morale, so the morale of the army was not suitable for war. He saw that the sergeants were already like this at that time, and he dared to arrange us to camp next to the Beisen military camp for training, so that the soldiers did not dare to relax for a moment. ”
Shan Guyue was unconsciously slightly proud when he heard this, and he didn't realize that these things were not related to his life.
But just then, the king of Beisen happened to die of illness, and the eldest prince of Beisen, Haskeley, was besieged by the army sent by the second prince of Beisen in the military camp. Obviously, this is a competition for the throne between the royal family. Later, only one of the eldest princes escaped, and fled all the way to our military camp, where he became acquainted with Shan Mu. ”
"After that, my father saved him?"
"No, not at first. At first, Haskeley was stealing our rations and was discovered by the soldiers. I didn't expect him to put down half of the people in the Speed Leopard Battalion with his bare hands, including me, who couldn't stop him from ten moves. It wasn't until Shan Mu arrived that Shan Mu Dwarf Haskeley had a whole head, but he stepped forward and easily caught Haskeley's fist, and threw it to the ground with a turn. After that, it can be said that they don't know each other, and Shan Mu agrees to help Haskeley kill his brother, but Beisen must retire from the army. As a result, Shan Mu left me there to guard the rest of the Beisen army, and he took the tiger head battalion to Beisen. As you know, Haskeli kept his promise, and Haskeley returned to China and succeeded to the throne to revoke the alliance relationship with Xi Miao, and after Beisen withdrew, Emperor Xin married his sister in order to consolidate the relationship with Beisen. ”
Shan Guyue nodded, thoughtfully, the acquaintance between her father and the second prince of Beisen can probably explain why Beisen chose to send reinforcements over at the beginning, instead of letting Dongyan fight with Zhongxin about the same time, and then a yellow finch will follow.
Yu Hua drank a few sips of wine, as if he was missing something, it was very delicious: "When Shan Mu came back with the Tiger Head Battalion without any casualties, everyone in the army didn't know that the Tiger Head Battalion, which had more than 100 people, why from that time on, they were all obedient to Shan Mu, and they couldn't even listen to other soldiers say that Shan Mu was not." Even the most fierce tiger head battalion is obedient to Shan Muxin, why are we still not convinced? Later, the whole army began to try to believe in him and began to train hard, especially because we let Beisen retire without spending a single soldier and a general, and we were rewarded when we returned to Zhongxin, which was something that had never happened before. Then came the battle report, saying that Marshal Sun was poisoned by an arrow when he resisted Xi Miao. Since then, Generalissimo has ceased to be just a title. Behind is the fact that Commander Shan led us to defeat Xi Miao in Zhongxin, and then we fought all the way to Deep Sea City. ”
At this point in the story, Shan Guyue remembered the question she wanted to ask, and immediately said, "What about me?" What's going on with me? ”
Yu Hua looked at Shan Guyue, sighed and said: "It was also in the 212th year of the Dao calendar, when we were attacking Ximiao, and Nanyao took the opportunity to march into the south of Zhongxin. Mrs. Shan, before going on the expedition with Shan Mu, Shan Mu only hugged the son who was not yet a month old. Both mother and son are in Lingcheng in the south of Zhongxin. Back then, the guards of Lingcheng were guarded by Sun Rongjing, the son of Marshal Sun, but the warriors of Nanyao were bloodthirsty and too powerful, and Lingcheng was slaughtered. ”
Shan Guyue asked: "Is this why the Sun family has no descendants?" ”
"Yes, this is also the reason why your father and the emperor will be so good to the descendants of the Sun family. To get back to the point, I received a military letter with Shan Mu before marching into Hongcheng. It was the light cavalry messenger of Lingcheng, and I received the letter, but I didn't tell you about the tragic situation of my father, Lingcheng. Until we captured the whole of Ximiao and rushed back to Zhongxin at dusk. When we were camping outside Hongcheng, we received a Pegasus letter from Haskeley, who told us that the killer organization "Snow Without a Trace", which was close to the second prince during his lifetime, had sent several top killers to ask for Shan Mu's life, and Dong Yan had spent a lot of money to buy Shan Mu's life. Therefore, whether it is for love or profit, the purpose of Xue Wuji's action is self-evident. ”
Shan Guyue listened very carefully and asked, "What's next?" ”
Yu Hua drank wine and continued: "During that period, because I hid from your father and did not tell him about Lingcheng, in a panic, I mistakenly took the letter written by Haskeley and sent it to Shan Mu in the big tent camp as a letter of Lingcheng battle report. After reading it, Shan Mu actually took off the armor that he never took off during the battle, as if he had lost his mind, and thought angrily: 'The troubled times are uneven, who can be safe! I want to settle down for the people of the world, who will settle for me! Then he laughed and rushed out, the first and only time I had ever seen him do that. I was stunned, and after a while I came back to my senses and called out to all the soldiers to stop him, who knew that as soon as I rushed out, all the soldiers around the tent had already been put to the ground. I had to call a few fast riders to look for him, and finally found him in an unknown nearby village. ”
"So, what's next?" Shan Guyue's heart became inexplicably nervous.
Yu Hua continued: "At first, I saw smoke coming from a house in the village, and I thought that there should be no refugees moving out of the city to live in these places at this time, but when I went in, I saw that a couple had already died in the house. Suddenly, there was a baby's cry in the next house, so I took a few soldiers to the next room, and saw your little baby crying on the bed at the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as a soldier entered the door, a throwing knife was pierced through his throat, and I immediately retreated with a few people. Then six killers appeared in front of us. One of the killers, with two swords on his back, thought I was Shan Mu, so he rushed forward to fight me. After many rounds of fighting, they couldn't tell the winner, and some of them laughed at Shan Mu's martial arts, but so, I remember that I was in a hurry, and I was almost killed. It's just that later, Shan Mu suddenly walked out of the house with you in his arms, and with a wave of his fingers, he bounced off the stone and hit the killer with the double sword. After that, he hugged you, fought with six killers alone, and didn't allow us to help. That night, Shan Mu hugged you, single-handedly eliminated four top masters, and two escaped back to Beisen. ”
"And what about the dead couple?" Shan Guyue felt a little lost in her heart, but still asked in a natural tone.
Commander Shan thought that the place was too chaotic and wanted them to rest in peace, so he led his soldiers to bury them on the top of a nearby hill so that the moonlight could guide them in the afterlife. When he was about to go down the mountain, he looked at the waning moon and pointed to you who was crying, saying, 'This crying bag is now my son of Shan Mu, and his name is Shan Guyue.' At that time, Shan Mu's eyes could no longer see the previous anger, but as calm as a pool of clear water, maybe this is what he often says, this is the case in troubled times. ”
Shan Guyue stood up and walked to the place where she had been standing. After taking two sips of wine, he looked up at Yue'er and said, "The troubled times are like this, there is nothing to think about, and my father only has a single herd." ”
Yu Hua sat on the stool and asked, "Do you want to hear about the next thing until you go into battle?" ”
"No need, Yu Huabo." Shan Guyue replied decisively.
Yu Hua's wine strength came up, but he didn't do it: "What are you doing, it's obvious that you asked me, and now that my story is not finished, you don't listen to half of it!" ”
Shan Guyue turned around and said with a smile: "Oh, Uncle Hua, don't I know what happened behind this." ”
Yu Hua was angry when he heard it: "Just kidding! In the same year, our army rushed back non-stop, and your father led 100,000 troops to beat Nanyao's army back to Nanyao in one go. Then he led us all the way to Nanyao's house. Quicksand River, do you think the Quicksand River was a dead river in the first place? ”
Shan Guyue smiled and coaxed: "No, no." I have heard a lot of stories about the Liusha River, saying that the Liusha River was originally a very rapid river, and the flowing water once washed away the mountains of Ximiao. When Nanyao once owned this river, there were plants and trees growing on both banks, and later this river was not buried by Nanyao as a desert? ”
Yu Hua suddenly looked at Shan Guyue seriously: "You really don't know? ”
Shan Guyue's expression also changed, turned around, and replied arrogantly: "The whole world knows about this." At that time, his father led 100,000 troops, and defeated 500,000 warriors in Nanyao in quicksand with the morale of one enemy and five enemies. The battle was unprecedentedly brutal, causing the River of Quicksand to become a dead river. In the end, his father broke through the Red Refining City of the Liusha River, and captured the 200,000 troops who were unarmed and cut off their military rations. He could have saved them or left them to fend for themselves, but outsiders don't know, we all know", Shan Guyue's voice softened and paused, "In the end, he trapped all 200,000 Nanyao troops in the Red Refining City and burned them to death. Since then, there has been no word for quicksand in the world, and no one can find the ghost town that can only be found by the river. Since then, his father has become a murderous and bloodthirsty demon king in the world. "For his father's elimination of 700,000 troops in Nanyao that year, Shan Guyue was not proud, but helpless, and more sad. Why did the father do this? He may not be able to figure it out until he dies, and the world only thinks that Shan Mu buried alive is only 500,000 flying sand army, but he doesn't know that there are still 200,000 Red Refining Army, let alone what Shan Mu's purpose is.
Shan Guyue turned around and looked at Yu Hua, Yu Hua lowered his head and didn't know what to think.
"Uncle Hua, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Hua suddenly stood up, walked towards the stairs, stood at the top of the stairs and said; "I'll go to Deep Sea City tomorrow, and I'll be there for seven days, and it's going to take three days to get to Deep Sea City, so you have to rush to Deep Sea City before I go to Beisen." After Yu Hua finished speaking, he went downstairs.
Shan Guyue only sighed, looked out of the city, and said softly, "Are you going home?"
