Chapter 44: The Heart of a Warrior
On the battlefield, Xiao Zhan rode a good war horse, and at this time, the dragon rode the horse, appeared, and told Xiao Zhan with a serious attitude: "Soldier, listen up, Ben Shuai is now telling you that the war horse you are riding right now is the best horse that my Chu people got from the Northern Barbarians, and these war horses are the mounts of the high-class generals, so the bloodlines of the horses are very expensive, of course, today's battle, give you a fair chance to fight with the commander, since you are a nobody, today's battle, in order to give you a little thin face, I can't embarrass you to die, Ben Shuai will kill you with one shot."
"Are you done?" Xiao Zhan was indifferent, and Xiao Wen on the side felt that something was wrong: "It's a disaster, will killing the general even me, or save the life of my Xiao family?"
Thinking of this, I only heard Xiao Wen shouting: "Handsome! ”
"What? Do you pray that I will keep him whole? Long said.
But I only heard Xiao Wen say: "No, my Xiao family is just the two of us, since Xiao Zhan was killed by the handsome, how about leaving a root for our family and letting me leave"
"That's why you think he's going to lose?" Long asked.
And at this time, Xiao Wen said: "If he loses, at most one person will die, who will let him be a hero, in case you are ...... Don't you punish the nine clans? ”
"Huh?" Long He was puzzled, and at this time, Long He roared angrily: "Coward, whether he wins or loses, he will save you and your whole family from death, is this okay?" ”
"That's okay" Xiao Wen smiled lewdly, and then Xiao Zhan turned his eyes and glared: "Here it is again, coward, without your brother, I am on"
"Good" dragon and horse forward, the two fought together, and suddenly, the collision between the weapons was very intense, but then, a few rounds, the dragon and did not fight to death.
"It's a little interesting, it seems that you are not an ordinary soldier, okay, I'm going to let go of the fight" Long He was furious, and suddenly, the Frozen Hundred Dragon Spear came out fiercely, and assassinated Xiao Zhan with all his might, but by chance, Long He still did not kill this nobody, of course, not only that, the nobody didn't seem to have even a little scar.
In the blink of an eye, Long Ji's anger turned into appreciation, and he thought a lot in his heart: "This person is extraordinary, if he can be reused by the army of Western Chu, he will definitely be able to achieve a career one day."
Long and Zhi thought more about the future of Xichu, and now Xiao Zhan's purpose is to defeat Long Zhan with all his might, different concepts produce different results, the two sides fight again, and then Long He obviously feels powerless, I don't know why, Long He feels that Xiao Zhan's combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger, and he doesn't seem to be able to control Xiao Zhan.
After a few big axes, I saw the dragon accidentally fall off the horse, and everyone was armed and ready to guard.
"Stand down!" After Long Ji spoke, he saw Xiao Zhan's right hand axe swing towards Long Ji, and in an instant, the air flow hit Long Ji's helmet, and then his scattered hair came head-on.
"Why don't you cut off Ben Shuai's head," Long Shuai said.
Then Xiao Zhan's leading general, Cao Ji, was stupid: "Xiao Zhan, don't retreat yet"
"Don't worry, Xiao Zhan won't kill him" Xiao Zhan's words were full of confidence.
And at this time, Long He smiled: "Hao will die on the battlefield, what is the fear, cut it down"
Long He didn't seem to understand what Xiao Zhan meant at the moment: "Xiao Zhan respects you as a big hero, so you won't cut it down" Then Xiao Zhan put away the big swing axe, and shouted to his brother at this time: "Xiao Wen, Lord Long feels the wind and cold, treat it quickly"
In an instant, Long He fell, and everyone was surprised, and at this time, there were guards who hurriedly helped Long He up, and at this time, Long He said with weak words: "What Brother Xiao said is really good, Ben Shuai has always felt weak recently."
Xiao Wen said: "Due to the tossing of the army in the north and south, coupled with the repeated battles, excessive fatigue, and the wind and cold in the north."
At this moment, Long He looked at Xiao Wen, in his eyes, the seemingly inconspicuous sycophant, unexpectedly knew how to use medical skills, which made Long He look at the two brothers of the Xiao family with admiration, in fact, in Long He's eyes, he already had plans to reward the two, but he had to take care of his body first due to excessive fatigue.
In the Central Plains, due to Tian Du's large-scale reduction of troops, the Chu army regained its strong combat effectiveness, and the food in the army instantly felt full, at this time, an inconspicuous little messenger, dressed in black, and came to the foot of Pengcheng.
At this time, the moonlight peak is high, and for the sudden messenger, the city tower seekers think that it is the enemy's spies, and from time to time they use arrow feathers to aim and shoot downward.
"Don't! I am the envoy of Chu" In the dark night, the signal is difficult to see, and the voice of the messenger is also suppressed by the relentless sound of piercing arrows.
At this time, the messenger lifted the curtain covering his face, and then Chifeng appeared in front of us.
It turned out that Tian Du had communicated with Chifeng privately at this moment.
Flashback......
In the tent, Chifeng, as usual, held the guqin in the army, and began to cultivate himself, the slowly picturesque Tian Du was not discovered, and at this time, Tian Du signaled his retainers to leave, and he enjoyed the sound of Chifeng alone.
Ye trembled slightly, and then Chifeng put away the piano and was about to turn around and go to bed, but the sudden arrival of Tian Du made Chifeng jump.
"General Tian, how could you?"
"How did I end up here?"
"The retainers don't tell me, it's a long way off, please don't blame Chifeng"
"It was Tian Du who asked the retainers not to say it"
"General Tian, is there an arrangement for this?"
"Nope"
"Oh"
"Originally, I was just looking for General Chifeng to have a small party for a drink, and I didn't mean anything else"
"Okay"
"The general's life is so free, now that Pengcheng is in crisis, aren't you worried?"
"Isn't it you?"
"This is tormenting Tian"
"No, Chifeng is a rough man, he doesn't like to talk around the corner, General Tian, Chifeng just trusts you"
"Why?"
"Need a reason?"
"Need" Tian Du asked, Chifeng was difficult to answer for a long time, and at this time Tian Du walked towards Fuqin: "Can you borrow the piano?" ”
"Please, but the piano is a little old, due to the long years of fighting, Gu doesn't have much time to tidy up, if General Tian doesn't dislike it, you can use it" After Chifeng spoke, I saw Tian Du sitting steadily, and then began to stroke the timbre of the qin, and suddenly, ten miles of good sound, beautiful world, and on the other side, Chifeng pondered in his heart: "The rhythm is so familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere...... Is it ......?"
Suddenly, Chifeng's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "General Tian is playing a bosom friend?" ”
"Haha, I can't see it, General Chifeng is thick and thin, and there is Yaxing Aiqin at such a time of war, wonderful"
Chifeng lowered his head, as if he was ashamed: "The enemy is current, but Chifeng has not completed the task, only Fuqin, venting his inner displeasure, and now General Tian is a bosom friend, and suddenly Chifeng's inner doubts are all solved."
"Oh? Let's listen to it" Tian Du smiled peacefully, and at this time, Chifeng knelt down on one knee: "General Tian must have an arrangement, and it is extraordinary"
"Haha, Chifeng, Chifeng, we are really bosom friends, and Tian Du's thoughts are not in vain, okay!"
At this time, Chifeng invited Tian Du to sit and drink tea.
After a few cups of tea, Chi Feng nodded and responded: "It turns out that General Tian secretly sent me to go alone, it seems that this matter is indeed related to the comfort of the entire Western Chu army."
"Tian's letter, General Chifeng must send it to the city, and then Tian has his own arrangements"
"Yes, you are right, the general messenger sent this letter, I'm afraid there will be some interception, and I go, especially under the moon, riding alone, will be able to complete the mission, or you think thoughtfully, rest assured, last time I was defeated, in order to wash away the shame, such a good opportunity for meritorious service, Chifeng can always wait for it" Chifeng patted his chest, and then Tian Du and his hand thanked him: "The future of the Western Chu army depends on General Chifeng"
"If anyone asks?"
"This matter is confidential, even the king doesn't know, I will have something to open up for the general, this general just rest assured, right now, all the military affairs of the entire Western Chu army, the king is in my hands, General Chifeng!" Remember, safety first, stay in Qingshan without fear of no firewood, and the coming day will be long" Tian Du's meaning, Chifeng is very clear, because the issues involved in the letter are related to the secrets of the entire Tian Du dispatch, once leaked out, maybe the future of the Western Chu army will be difficult to say.
Flashback......
Chifeng stood below the city wall: "The mission must be completed, even if I die, I will send the letter to the city" for a moment, only to see Chifeng's arm injured, and there were blood stains on the scratches, while Chifeng ripped off his sleeves, tied up the wound, gritted his teeth and lay under the city wall, the moonlight was indifferent, and Chifeng was trembling with a few wisps of cold wind, thinking for a moment, only to see Chifeng take out the wine bag on his waist and drink wine to keep warm, of course, all this is to buy time.
Of course, at the moment, for Chifeng, or for the entire Western Chu army, it is a one-night test: "I can't fall" Chifeng's eyes were firm.
And from the other side, Han Xin sat down peacefully, and there were Korean generals who came to Han Xin to seek benefits, good tea, and a few luxury gifts, Han Xin smiled and said.
"Lu Ping, you are really, look, so many things, too real"
"Han Shuai, Lu Ping doesn't have too many hobbies in his life, he just likes to collect treasures, you see, there are many treasures"
In an instant, all kinds of rare treasures appeared in front of Han Xin's eyes, and then, Han Xin said in a mocking tone: "There are so many good things, I don't know what you want to seek?" ”
Lu Ping smiled, and Han Xin asked: "Seeking an official?" No, your current official position in South Korea is not small, and you are also a thousand-commander anyway...... But "
Han Xin didn't finish speaking, only to see Lu Ping shaking his head and saying: "Han Shuai, I don't ask for more, it's okay to be a centurion under you."
"Why is that?"
"Hehe, Han Shuai, in fact, I used to be a businessman"
"Dare to ask, which line of business?"
"Hey, that's it, we're wearing it."
"Oh, clothes, okay, I'm a big man in the hinterland, this kind of talent is just lacking, I approved your proposal, but you South Korea ......"
"Don't worry about this, I have my own arrangements, so I won't let you worry about it" Lu Ping then bowed his head and left, looking at the figure of Lu Ping leaving, Han Xin smiled slightly, and then Xu Mao came out of the queue and asked Han Xin: "Such a villain, Han Shuai also uses it?" ”
Han Xin smiled and said nothing, and at this time, he only heard Chen Chi on the side say: "You and I were also mortal people back then, why not?"
"That's right, our Han Shuai is a person who will use an inconspicuous person as the greatest strength, so as to assist the king and achieve hegemony" Xu Mao concluded, and then Han Xin glanced at Xu Mao, and then said: "Okay, I've heard enough of sycophants, can I change something else?" ”
Xu Mao said: "Yes, but Han Shuai, there is a prodigal son who is lazy all day long and likes to flirt with women from good families, please beg his subordinates and say, ......"
"Okay, don't talk about it" Han Xin said, and Xu Mao added on the side: "Their family is particularly rich in the hinterland of South Korea, and they can support our military expenses a lot" After Xu Mao spoke, Han Xin turned around and smiled, and said calmly: "Chen Chi, take a team of people, go to this person's house, kill everyone who should be killed, and get the money back"
Xu Mao was puzzled, and Chen Chi said: "Han Shuai hates this kind of shameless person who molests women from good families the most, and his family is probably a rich businessman who has no morals, so ...... cough" Chen Chi said, Xu Mao suddenly brightened.
