Wu Qiang no longer paid attention to Fan Qiang, turned his head to Geng Gong and said: "General Geng, you have defeated us several times and killed countless Qiang people, but all Qiang people hate you to the bone!" However, we Qiang people have always worshiped heroes, and we also admire you so much that you are the eagle soaring high in the sky above Xiqiang! After a pause, he said, "General Geng, I came this time to invite you to Xiqiang on the order of Marshal Qu!" ”

Fan Qiang and Yang Yan were stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked sad, and said: "General Geng, you go listen and take a look, how we Qiang people are bullied by the Han people!" ”

Geng Gong bowed his head and was silent. Wu Wu took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "General Geng, don't you dare to go?" When you killed countless Qiang people, did you have the same guts? ”

Fan Qiang was furious, brushed the knife out, and shouted: "Qiang is bold! Don't talk nonsense here, I'll kill you and talk about it! After speaking, a knife was swung away, as fast as lightning, and there was no confusion in moving, and a pair of eyes were staring at Geng Gong tightly.

Geng Gong suddenly burst out, only hearing the sound of "Ding Dong", Fan Qiang's knife was sideways, Fan Qiang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Brother......"

Geng Gong said slowly: "Brother Qiang, the two countries are at war, don't kill them!" He said to Wu Confusion again: "Respected messenger, you go back to report to Mi Wu, and five days later, I will ride to Xiqiang alone!" ”

Fan Qiang and Yang Yan both said: "Brother! ”

Geng Gong waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, no need to say more!" ”

Surprised, he really didn't expect that Geng Gong actually agreed, and couldn't help but be in awe, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Okay, General Geng, it's really a Han warrior!" We, Qiang people, should prepare delicious food and wine, waiting for you to come west! After speaking, he took a deep bow, went straight out of the tent, and crossed the horse.

Geng Gong sat down, the beating flames reflected on his face, flickering and dimming.

Yang Yan sighed: "Brother, how can you go to Xiqiang?" The emperor has ordered us to return to the east on the same day, do we want to resist and disobey the order? ”

Fan Qiang sat down, dialed the firewood, and the flames suddenly rushed up, illuminating the tent as bright as day, and he said loudly: "Brother, you went to Xiqiang, didn't you throw yourself into the net?" I have said that the Qiang people hate us to the bone, how can they let you go! ”

Geng Gong raised his head and sighed: "Brother Yan, Brother Qiang, why do the Qiang people want to rebel?" Only Han people treat Qiang people too harshly! This time, although we are victorious, we still kill the Qiang people like hemp, and the hatred of the Qiang people does not decrease but increases, how can they give up? It's better for me to go into Qiang alone, know the benefits and disadvantages, feel the virtue, and be able to relieve a little resentment, even if I die in Xiqiang, it is worth it! ”

Yang Yan and Fan Qiang were very moved, and said: "Brother, we are willing to follow you into Qiang, and we will not give up!" ”

Geng Gong said: "We are all gone, who will be in charge of the army?" He thought for a moment and said, "That's it, Brother Qiang, you go with me, and Brother Yan stays in the army as a follow-up." If the Qiang people want to kill me, I'm afraid it's not that easy! ”

Yang Yan had no choice but to agree. Fan Qiang was arrogant, stood up, and said excitedly: "Brother, at that time, we had 300 soldiers, and in the face of the 100,000 troops of the Huns, we could come and go freely, how could we have a trace of fear?" What are the Qiang people? He suddenly thought of Li Kang, his chest was stuffed, and he thought: "How good it would be if Li Kang was here!" ”1234

Geng Gong nodded and said, "Brother Qiang, don't be rash!" This trip is aimed at relieving grievances, not hating! Speaking of this, Geng Gong suddenly paused and shouted: "Whoever is eavesdropping outside the tent, come out quickly!" ”

Fan Qiang and Yang Yan were stunned, thinking, "Is there anyone?" At this time, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and a person lifted the curtain and entered, laughing in a low voice: "General Geng, it's me!" ”

Fan Qiang and Yang Yan lost their voices: "It's you?" Why do you want to be out of the tent? ”

This person is actually Wang Zhixing, the messenger sent by Emperor Zhang! He smiled slightly and said, "If you don't lie outside the tent, how can you know that General Geng is loyal?" However, looking at it from below, the general should return to Luoyang as soon as possible! ”

Fan Qiang said angrily: "If we don't go back to Luoyang, what can you do? ”

Wang Zhixing's face changed, and he said: "For the sake of the general, let's return to Luoyang quickly!" ”

Geng Gong didn't say a word, just stared at him tightly, and suddenly said, "It's you?" ”

Wang Zhixing smiled slightly, but there was sadness in his eyes, and said, "Doesn't the general know me?" I once accompanied the general to study and learn swords, and rode to the Luoyang River to enjoy the flowers......" paused, Wang Zhixing sighed again: "Time is so fast, decades, poor old general, actually died outside the Yumen Pass......" Speaking of this, his eyes were hazy with tears, he was sad for a while, and said: "The one who killed the old general is Liu Zhang, if Liu Zhang is still here, I will definitely kill this thief and avenge the old general!" ”

Fan Qiang and Yang Yan looked surprised, and only thought in their hearts: "Who is he?" ”

At this time, Geng Gong's eyebrows raised slightly, and said, "Are you Wang Zhida?" ”

Wang Zhixing nodded slowly and said in a low voice: "Little general, I am Wang Zhida!" God pity me, so that I can recognize the little general......" He couldn't cry, and he couldn't say the rest of the words.

Geng Gong was shocked, grabbed his shoulder, shook it gently, and said, "Are you really Wang Zhida?" Aren't you sick and dying? And what did you do with the messenger? ”

Wang Zhixing raised his head, looked Geng Gong up and down, and sighed with tears: "Little general, do you know? Over the years, you have faced 100,000 troops of the Huns with 300 soldiers outside the Saiwai, and you have held Shule for more than a year, and returned from a hundred battles, and finally become a tiger general like the old general! I—I don't know how happy I am! ”

Wang Zhixing choked up and didn't answer Geng Gong, and after a while, he calmed down and said, "Little general, that year, I didn't die of illness!" ”

Geng Gong was at a loss: "But where have you been?" Suddenly, he disappeared from Geng's Mansion without a trace. ”

Wang Zhixing sighed, those days of suffering poured out from the bottom of his heart, and a bitterness rushed straight to his heart. That year, Wang Zhixing was ten years old and still didn't understand the true meaning of death. He kept watch at the grave of his parents for seven days and seven nights, weeping dry tears, crying hoarse throat, and finally understood in ignorance that no matter how he called, his parents buried in the ground would never pity him again, and he would never take himself into his arms again. Wang Zhixing trembled, walked down step by step from the grassy mountain, and began the wandering of life. Three years later, when he went to the streets of Luoyang, he saw a rich man and went to steal his bag, but he was discovered, and the rich man called a domestic slave, beat him badly, and abandoned him in the ice and snow. The north wind blew, and passers-by passed by him, but none of them looked at him. People like him were like weeds, left to fend for themselves. After a cold night, he was dying in the morning, as if he saw his parents smiling from the other side of the world. Wang Zhixing stretched out his arms, he wanted to tell his parents how hard he had been over the years, and if he could, he was willing to leave the world. Finally, he closed his eyes, thinking it was a farewell. However, when he awoke, he was lying in a warm bed, a heroic general, sitting at the head of the bed, looking at himself with a pleasant face. Later, Wang Zhixing knew that this general was Geng Guang, Geng Gong's father. Since then, he has become a member of Geng's mansion.
