Chapter 57: Dispatching the Driver (Part I)

"This is going to the driver, there is death and no life, there is no return, have you thought about it?" Geng Gong said slowly. "Think about it, don't give up!" The generals shouted loudly, and the majestic voice was earth-shattering! Geng Gong looked at Wu Meng, Fan Qiang, Li Kang, Shi Xiu, Gao Yuan and others one by one, and said in a trembling voice: "I can't bear to go any of them." However, we are warriors of the Han Dynasty, soldiers, and it is our duty to protect our families and defend the country! It stands to reason that this trip should be carried out by me, but the Huns poured their troops into the car division, aiming for revenge, if I go to the car division, Jin Mancheng is not handsome, how to resist? Therefore, this time, the soldiers were divided into two routes, one way to the rescue division, all the way back to Jinman, and the city was firmly defended and adapted. Among the generals, only Wu Meng and Fan Qiang are both wise and brave, Fan Qiang is good at archery and good at defending the city. ”

"Thank you, big brother, for entrusting me with this important task!" Wu Meng was excited and pushed to the end.

Geng Gong slowly walked to Wu Meng's side, put his hand on his shoulder, and choked up: "Brother Meng, you follow me to fight in the south and the north, you can go into battle to kill the enemy, and you can talk about the army when you retreat, you will contribute the most and have the most credit!" In time, it must be a tiger general of my big man! Alas, this time to go to the driver's division, a hundred times more dangerous, death and life are unpredictable, you have to be careful, if you can return, brother and you drink for three days! When they heard this, they burst into tears.

Wu Meng cried: "Big brother, I, Wu Meng, am a huge thief, I will not give up on you, use it as a right and left, and then put my heart in my heart and talk about everything, how can I Wu Meng, how can I have a good big brother like you in this life!" Not only devoted to the Han soldiers, but also shrouded in horse leather, and died on the battlefield, this is the supreme glory of the soldiers! Big brother, my whole family was killed by the Huns, this hatred and hatred, not the same day, only hatred in my lifetime, I can't see the pacification of the Western Regions and the Huns for a day! Li Dang rushed forward, hugged Wu Meng tightly, and cried: "Brother, I also want to go to the Cheshi!" ”

Wu Meng said: "Brother Dare, you and I meet in Pingshui, and there is time in the troubled hills, sharing joys and sorrows, and gathering for joy." You are usually impatient and straightforward, after I went to the driver's office, you followed the eldest brother, fight well, and you must not be willful, do you hear? One day, after pacifying the Western Regions and the Xiongnu, you go to your brother's grave and tell your brother to let him know! Li Dang cried: "No, I also want to go to the driver!" I'm going to the Driver too! Wu Meng frowned and said angrily: "Don't you listen to me? ”

Geng Gong also came to persuade: "Brother Dare, you go to Jinman with me, after the Huns break through the Cheshi, they will definitely come to attack Jinman, at that time, we will kill the Huns again, okay?" Li dared not say any more, but just hugged Wu Meng and cried bitterly. There was mourning in the tent, and it was a long time to rest. Geng Gong discussed the military situation with the generals and went back to the tent to rest.

Geng Gong's heart is surging, his thoughts are thousands, where can he sleep? Suddenly, someone shouted softly: "General Geng, General Geng." Geng Gong got up and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"I am the messenger Huer from the charioteer."

Geng Gong opened the door, and the man came in with his hands rubbed. Geng Gong was stunned: "I have to travel a long way tomorrow, and in the middle of the night, if you don't have a good rest in the camp, why do you come to me?" Hu Er said: "General, I am the confidant of Ruyan, the queen of the Cheshi, she sent me here, I have a few words to tell the general, another messenger is there during the day, I can't say it clearly, so I have to come in the middle of the night to disturb." The beautiful woman immediately appeared in front of Geng Gong, paused, and said, "Queen Ruyan? I have nothing to do with her, what is the matter with me? ”

"General, Queen Ruyan ordered me to hand over something to you." After speaking, Huer took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, which was exquisitely translucent, warm and silky, exquisite and meticulous, and handed it to Geng Gong. In ancient times, with jade as her heart, Ruyan handed over the jade pendant to Geng Gong, clearly telling Geng Gong that she had fallen in love with him! Of course, Geng Gong understood, and said angrily: "Since Ruyan is the queen, she should respect herself, why do you want to do this? ”

Hu Er was not in a hurry, and said: "For the sake of the general, it is appropriate to accept this jade pendant." The general imagines, although the chariot division is subordinate to the Han Dynasty, but far away in the Western Regions, and the enemy is current, the queen Ande, three thousand favors, are all on Ru Yan, if Ru Yan into the slander, Ande surrendered to the Huns, a blow against the enemy, try to ask the general is not worth the loss? And although Queen Ruyan loves the general, she has never exceeded the norm at all, and she only sends it with a jade pendant to express her heart, so what if she accepts it? The general must not miss the world's major events because of a piece of jade. ”

Although this is a threat, it is very reasonable. Geng Gong is a smart person, how can he not understand? I had no choice but to take it. The jade pendant was in his hand, he felt a little heavy, extremely cold, and he held it for a while, and he was ashamed to be warm. Hu Er said: "General Geng, this jade pendant is something that Queen Ruyan carries with her, and she never gives it away. ”

Geng Gong was silent.

Huer said: "General, people say goodbye." There is a saying in the Han Dynasty that "come and don't be rude", and the queen should give the general something in return, and also show the queen that the person has given something to the general. He glanced at it and saw that there was a jade bead on the tail of the sword hanging from Geng Gong's waist, so he stepped forward to take it off, put it in his arms, and said goodbye.

Geng Gong was at a loss and let him take it. Hu'er left, he sat at the table, holding the jade pendant, looking at the bean-sized candle, the beautiful woman flashed in front of him, sad, light, resentful, and thought slightly: "The Huns are coming to the city, what is she doing?" ”。 At this time, someone outside the tent whispered: "Big brother, haven't you slept?" Without waiting for Geng Gong to answer, the man stepped in, but it was Wu Meng. Geng Gong said: "Brother Meng, I will go to the Cheshi tomorrow, the road is dangerous, and it will be a vicious battle when I get to the Cheshi, why don't you rest early?" ”

Wu Meng shook his head and said slowly: "Big brother, I can't sleep, so I came out to relax, and when I saw that the moon was like practice, cold and refined, I couldn't help but feel sad, walking and walking, all the way to the eldest brother, I saw a slight light, I knew that the eldest brother was not asleep yet, and I thought that I would see you again in the future, so I came to see him." Wu Meng saw the jade pendant in Geng Gong's hand, which was obviously a woman's ornament, and felt slightly strange, but he was silent.

Geng Gong stood up, thinking that Wu Meng had arrived at the car division, and there was no return, his heart was gloomy, and he said melancholy: "I can't sleep peacefully, go, it happens that the moon is full today, let's go to enjoy the moon." ”

The two men walked out of the tent side by side, picked a clean place, lay on the ground, and looked up at the moon. Wu Meng sighed and said, "The moon is full in the sky, and there are people on the ground." When I saw the moon, I remembered my father, my mother, my wife, and my children, alas, but they all died at the hands of the Huns. Geng Gong also sighed and said: "The Huns owe me a big man, most of the blood debts!" The blood debt can only be washed away with blood! In my lifetime, I must be like Wei Qing and Huo Quai, expelling the Huns, so that the Huns will never dare to invade my Han! Wu Meng stared at the moon for a long time and said, "Big brother, what do you think when you see the moon?" ”

"I lost my father, and my mother pulled me up. Before I set out, my mother was seriously ill and I didn't want to leave her old home. My mother forced me to die and wanted me to be a hero like my father! But when I asked about my father's death, both my mother and my uncle were silent. Alas! Now it's been a year since I left home, and I don't know how my mother is, is she okay? Brother Meng, you are right, the moon is so round, but the moon is not round, the world is in trouble, and there is no choice but to do it in October. This time I fought against the Huns, and I don't know how many Han warriors will die heroically on the battlefield! Alas, pity their family, who look at the moon every day, hoping for their return, but they will never wait for ......"
