Chapter 50: The Warrior Unloads His Armor
Pang Hui took Zhao Gui's corpse back to the camp, when Peng Hui put Zhao Gui's corpse in front of Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi was silent for a long time, only tears flowed, in the end there were still feelings, once followed his father together, fought in all directions, but now they are fighting separately, born in troubled times, and no wonder others. A hundred years later, you and I are a handful of loess, which is nothing more than a matter of leaving early and leaving late.
"After going down, build a good coffin and bury it with the gifts of the princes." Zhao Yi remembered that he was disobedient when he was a child, which made his father unhappy, and Zhao Gui was the first to stand up and speak for himself.
grew up, followed his father, fought in the south and the north, and every time he encountered danger, he was also Zhao Gui, the first to stand up and rush to rescue himself. But today's Zhao Gui can't get through, like Zhao Gui ten years ago, after ten years of peace, he has already wiped his heart clean, and only eats, drinks and has fun to get by.
"Your wife, sons, and daughters, I will also order people to raise them well, so that they know that their father is a great hero. That's all I can do for you. I hope you can find peace under the nine springs. ”
Zhao Yi carefully looked at Zhao Gui's corpse, he had never seen him since he was crowned king, and he would never see him again.
Even Zhong Ai didn't expect that his simple agitation method could really trick Zhao Gui out of the city and even cause Zhao Gui to die there. He originally thought that he would be able to capture Zhao Gui alive after the city was broken, and let Zhao Gui take his wife and children to Qingzhou to spend his old age in peace, but he didn't expect that the sword had no eyes. This will deepen the estrangement between him and the lord, and this estrangement will also make Zhong Ai never able to replace Tang Qing's position in Zhao Yi's heart.
Zhong Ai stepped forward and said: "Please mourn on the Lord's Day, I just got a report from Pegasus that the Taiping Army has taken Chengyang City, and we also need to plan early, so that Tang Qing can give us grain, grass and various equipment in Qinzhou."
Zhao Yi took a deep breath, his expression was a little melancholy, and he lamented: "Our brothers, snatching a throne, in the end, I don't know how many can survive, the book says, the most ruthless emperor's family, today I finally saw it, Zhong Ai, you say, is it right or wrong for me to enter Qingzhou?" ”
"What the lord should think about in his heart is great benevolence and righteousness, the world is in chaos, the people who suffer the most are the people, and the people who don't want to be peaceful in the world, but who can really make the world peaceful, in my opinion, there is only the lord alone, and the others don't know it, they just want to make the world more chaotic." Zhong Aiwan couldn't let Zhao Yi have this idea again, so he had to say so.
"Pang Hui, go down, carry the body down together, remember what I told you, every day before his death was beautiful, so the funeral should also be beautiful."
"Lord, the last general will retire!"
After Pang Hui went down, Zhao Yi said to Zhong Ai: "Write to Tang Qing immediately, tell Tang Qing about our affairs in Qingzhou, and let him make his own decisions." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."
Zhong Ai, you also know that what the lord needs most now is quiet, so he immediately retreated after receiving the order.
When Zhao Yi was a child, because he was born with great strength, he caused a lot of trouble, and Zhao Gui has been a gentleman since he was a child, and his other brothers are the most obedient to his father's words, so as long as he causes trouble, the first thing that comes to mind is Zhao Gui, and Zhao Gui can hide from his father every time and handle everything well. Therefore, the relationship between the two is the most intimate, and it is because of this that my father leaned their fiefs together, one was sealed in Xuzhou, and the other was divided in Qingzhou, Zhao Yi thought about it and gradually fell asleep.
On the other side, the Taiping army, which had already taken Chengyang City, was summoning eighteen Qu Marshals and ordering them to go to Chengyang City. Wait for the arrival of the Northern Barbarians.
The Northern Barbarian, outside Antelope City, has been waiting for more than half a month, but he has not attacked the city for a long time, and no one knows what the reason is.
On this day, Yelu Juehe found Yelu Dehe and asked: "Brother, you have a better brain than me, you tell me, why the king is still unwilling to attack the city, my northern barbarian army is a million troops here, but there is no sign of attacking the city, if this continues, we will be laughed at by others to death."
"In fact, it's nothing more than that the losses of the Wanyan family when they attacked the Yuqi Pass were too heavy, how could they make a profit, when the armies from all walks of life arrived a few days ago, Wanyan Wushu's face turned blue, and he thought that at least a lot of people and horses were folded in, and one of his generals was gone, and it was estimated that he also died there." Yelu Dehe smiled indifferently, Wanyan Wushu's ability was still far from his father's Wanyan Aguta.
"Didn't the king deliver a message today, is there something important?" Yelu Juehe suddenly thought.
"He wants Wanyan Wushu to retreat, abandon the Central Plains, and defend in the Northern Barbarians, otherwise the Central Plains will take the opportunity to attack my Northern Barbarians." Jerodh explained.
Of course, Yelu Juehe didn't believe that things were so simple, so he asked, "It's that simple?"
"Of course not, our powerful families have basically brought the soldiers of the whole clan to Antelope City, there are many family forces, and they are not willing to obey the orders of the Wanyan family again, and this time the army will retreat back. I guess it's to oppress us and make us re-honor the orders of the Wanyan family. Jerodh explained.
"Wanyan Agu made this move, it was very damaging, completely cut off our back road, if we go back, what awaits us is to return to his rule, so we can only go south, and only go south, plundering more land, until all our land in the north is exchanged." Only then did Yelu Juehe understand the true purpose of Wanyan Agu's move.
"At this moment, maybe our relatives are already under the control of the Wanyan family, as long as Wanyan Wushu can return to the north safely, we can start attacking the city." Jerodh said.
It is not only the Northern Barbarians who are waiting to attack the city, even the group of dragon guards in Antelope City are in a hurry, they can all come to this point by relying on the prestige of killing the Northern Barbarians at the beginning, and now after twenty years, the Northern Barbarians dare to go south again, and this time they will definitely have no return.
Wen Yu's injury is almost healed, but the injury in his heart is indeed more serious, not to mention that he lost the Jade Gate Pass, he can't even want to die with Long Wuwei.
Cui Zheng pushed open Wen Yu's door, this is the first time Cui Zheng did not wear armor, walked to the side of the bed and sat down and said earnestly: "I followed the first emperor to conquer the south and the north, large and small combined with hundreds of battles, the first emperor said a word to me, I still remember, he said that in the troubled times, no one can not die, you and I are the same, we only have one life, so you have to spare your life, you can live one more day is a day, it is possible that you were still killing the enemy on the battlefield a moment ago, and you fell on the battlefield in the blink of an eye, that's right, But as our predecessors, we always hope to leave something for future generations.
Now the Beiban has gathered a million troops, and now it is under the Antelope City, but my Zhao clan is now only concerned with infighting, if there is really a day, let the iron horses of the Beiban trample on the land of my Zhao clan, we predecessors are all sinners, what about me, I am lucky, the day the Antelope City is broken is the day I die, after all, I don't have to suffer that anger.
My Long Wuwei's integrity will also last for a hundred years, and there will be people who will remember Long Wuwei's name for the next thousand years, and this can be regarded as the last thing I left for you in this future life. ”
Cui Zheng said that, smiled, stood up, and said with a smile: "Boy, I told you so much today, you have to remember, and I will go to Qingzhou with Dong Jun tomorrow." ”
Wen Yu used all his strength, knelt on the ground, and cried with his head against the floor: "General! ”
Cui Zheng waved his hand and left.
