Chapter Seventy-Five: Loyalty and Righteousness
Pestilence! This word that makes people smell and scatter, let alone troubled times, even in the heyday, it is also a thing that all the princes and princes are afraid of, and now, the original plague that affected the south of Wei has already seemed to be inhumane, but at this time, the plague of Wei has not been completely alleviated, and the epidemic was deliberately transmitted to Jiangling City.
At this time, Gongsun Yu's army had already arrived near Gangneung City.
Recall the words of the overlord......
"Gongsun Yu, since you have such a belief, then this king will make an exception to let a just competent general send troops, and this king will give you 30,000 troops, I hope you can give this king a satisfactory result"
"My king can rest assured, even if the last general dies, he will give Gangneung City justice"
Thinking of this, he saw a scout and said, kneeling on one knee in the distance, Gongsun Yu was puzzled: "Why do you kneel so far?" β
"General Qiyu, most of the people in the city are suffering from the plague, the details are unknown, and the small ones are worried that they will be infected with the plague, so they dare not approach the army"
After listening to the words, Gongsun Yu understood the idea of the visit, so he agreed, and asked the reporter to settle himself first, at this time, a flying pigeon letter was shot down by the archer in the army.
opened the envelope, it happened to be Yan Xue's reply letter to the king of Wei: "King, the plague in Wei has been successfully transmitted to the people of Jiangling, right now, Zhan Xufeng has been persuaded by the last general, everything is carried out according to the plan, soon, Western Chu and Nanyue will be infected with the plague, but the last general does not know, whether our country really has an antidote, please make it clear to the king, my army will return to Pingyang, the capital of Wei."
Looking at the letter, Gongsun Yu's eyes were full of tears, and then Ke Qi, who joined the army, took the letter, and looked at it, thought twice, and asked Gongsun Yu's army to return, so that the Nanyue Kingdom could be framed, and the Chu army was fine: "Haha, God help me Xichu, such good news appears, we Xichu can crush the Nanyue Kingdom without blowing dust, now we return with the army and tell the king the good news"
After a moment of words, Gongsun Yu was motionless, and then under the questioning of Ke Qi, who joined the army, Gongsun Yu said with excitement: "Is the political game interesting?" β
"What?"
"In the struggle between nations, the people will be sacrificed?"
"What the hell is wrong with you? Tears for the people? Are you crazy? Joining the army, Ke Qi said.
But then Gongsun Yu gritted his teeth and said: "The battle between countries is originally a fair and righteous battle, and if you can't fight it, you can fight it again, and with such despicable means, it won't be glorious."
Ke Qi, who joined the army, said: "Right now, it is a conspiracy between Wei and Nanyue, what are you excited about?" β
"The people, the people of Jiangling City, Jiangling City was originally the land of my Western Chu, and now the people of the whole city don't care about it? Let them fend for themselves? Gongsun Yu asked Ke Qi to join the army.
But Ke Qi told Gongsun Yu: "You have to remember, what is the world, the righteousness of the world, is not limited to a few people in the dawn, what if a few people die, even if it is a city?" β
"What do you mean by that? The people were not born by their parents? Without the people of Limin, how can the world come? Do you have soldiers without the children of the people? Without the industriousness of the people, what do you eat and drink? The money you took is also because there are people, and the world is made up of people, and I am also born of people."
Ke Qi seemed to understand: "By the way, I forgot, General Gongsun Yu is from Jiangling City, I'm sorry, but, right now, we have to return to Western Chu"
"Are you the commander, or am I?"
"What if you are the Lord? To join the army is to correct your mistakes"
"My mistake was to go to Wei to get the antidote and save the people of Li in Jiangling City"
"Are you crazy? 30,000 troops to die? You ask them if they are willing to go crazy with you" After joining the army Ke Qi's words, I saw some soldiers full of tears, and said: "We are willing to go to Wei with General Gongsun to find an antidote"
"Are you crazy? What are you for? β
A soldier said, "We are all from Gangneung City."
Another soldier cried: "Which of you was not born by your parents?" Don't you care what happens to your hometown? It is their respective ambitions for the vassal states to fight, and we are soldiers to defend our families and the country, and we can't even protect our clansmen, is there any point in fighting this battle? β
After a moment of words, another soldier said: "Yes, fighting is a heroic act, fighting in the light, this conspiracy of the Wei royal envoy is not a contest between the vassal states and the vassal states, but a slaughter of the people, such an unrighteous act, the world is indignant, everyone should be punished."
With the words of the soldiers, Ke Qi felt as if he couldn't control the scene, in order to be able to have prestige in the army, Ke Qi drew his sword and pointed at Gongsun Yu's chest, everyone was surprised, but Gongsun Yu didn't seem to have the intention of retreating: "The general died on the battlefield, what are you afraid of, since the first day I became a soldier, I haven't thought about going back alive, isn't it just a death?" The words were accompanied by Gongsun Yu's slowly approaching body, and at this time, it was not the sword that stabbed Gongsun Yu, but the opposite was Gongsun Yu himself stabbing the sword.
The blood flowed down drop by drop, Gongsun Yu's eyes did not flinch at all, and his body was also getting closer step by step, at this moment, Ke Qi, who joined the army, felt as if there was no room for negotiation, so he drew his sword and said loudly: "If you don't listen to the command, you will die...... Ahh
"......"
With a sword stab, blood filled the hand holding the sword, and at this moment, Gongsun Yu turned his head and looked at Li Jue, the subordinate who stabbed Ke Qi with a sword.
"You killed him?"
"Yes"
"Killing and joining the army is tantamount to mutiny"
"The last general is willing to die and apologize" paused, and Li Jue prepared to kill himself.
"Slow"
"What's wrong General"
"Why did you kill him? You and I are not friends of life and death."
"For the people of the world"
"Huh? You're also from Gangneung City? β
"No, I'm from Tianshui"
"Then why?"
"Who doesn't have parents, who doesn't have family? Joining the army in order to protect the family and defend the country, in the eyes of the general, the last general learned that if Tianshui was like this, the general would also transfer troops there, right? Li Jue's question was quickly responded by Gongsun Yu: "Yes"
"Hmm"
"Don't you need to distinguish between the real and the fake?"
"The general is not a virtual person" snapped...... Li Jue knelt on one knee, and then said: "Li Jue is willing to follow the general before and after the saddle and gallop to kill the enemy, but at the moment, the first thing is to force the King of Wei to come up with an antidote to help the people."
"Would you like to?" Gongsun Yu's words were quickly embraced by the whole army.
"We will follow the general to the death, and the righteousness of the photovoltaic world ......"
"Brothers, you don't have to follow me, now, as long as you bring the antidote to the people of Gangneung City, my Gongsun Yu will be grateful to everyone" After Gongsun Yu's words, everyone encouraged and supported.
"Smack!" As the overlord slapped the table with one hand, a pair of big bright eyes were picturesque: "He was reversed"
The overlord was furious, and heard that Gongsun Yu killed and joined the army, and then mobilized a large army to go north to Wei, which made the overlord angry to the limit, but at this time, Li Yi persuaded: "King, it is not a bad thing for Gongsun Yu to mobilize 30,000 troops to go north right now"
"How can I see it?"
"Maybe Gongsun Yu did this on purpose, taking the opportunity to attack the Wei State, and then handed it over to the king"
"Is it that good?" The overlord's tone softened slightly, but then Li Yi said: "The person recommended by Tian Du will not be wrong, why don't we observe it again?" β
"Tian Du? Okay, this king will read in Tian Du's face, see what tricks Gongsun Yu plays, if he captures Wei Di, hands it over to me, and kills Ke Qi in the army, this king can not blame the past" The overlord thought for a moment, said his words, and then had a counselor to cater to him.
But at this time, there is a person who is unhappy in his heart, this is Long And, Long And's heart, Tian Du's death has such a big impact, it is really infuriating, strictly speaking, Long Ji was reused by Xiang Yu first, but now he is far from being out of favor.
At the same time, in the state of Wei, the king of Wei was furious: "What? Gongsun Yu actually killed the army and ran all the way to my Pingyang? β
"Yes"
"Is there any reason for this, is there a solution?"
"King, Gongsun Yu has 30,000 troops, can he fight all the way to Pingyang? It's just a fool's dream, naΓ―ve enough," Stuart said.
At this moment, Xiangguo Liao Ying came out of the queue and told the King of Wei: "King, everything has been arranged for Xiangguo, and the four generals Lu An, Yao Yun, Ke Zhi, and Long Qin have gone to the front line to mobilize the Wei army for city defense, a total of 80,000 iron troops, and wait for Gongsun Yu to come and die."
"Haha, you courtiers, there are a lot of sycophants on weekdays, at critical moments, use troops fast enough, and this king is worry-free" King Wei was overjoyed, and learned that Xiang Yu would not send troops, this time the troops were sent by Gongsun Yu privately, and they could only win and not lose, and there would be no reinforcements.
"Haha...... Great, then let him give us Wei Jun training, we can take this opportunity to teach a good lesson, this! The lone Chu army, the secret letter told the generals on the front line to play "the high-profile words of the king of Wei, accompanied by the reply of Xiangguo Liao Ying: "Yes, my king, this is the draft, the flying pigeon will pass the book"
"Haha......"
With the laughter of King Wei, it was accompanied by Lu An's laughter: "Haha, you have an army of 30,000, you can't do it yourself, come on, today, General Ben first cut off your dog's head, and then kill your general, a lone army, what else is there to be happy about?" β
Words three points, only to see two generals riding horses, Wei general Lu An, it is said that the three major axes can cut off the enemy's head, the power is huge, incomparable, and Chu will be Li Jue at this time, the weapon used is a double sword, both horses meet the shoulder, only to see Lu An's head landing, an instant uproar, and then, the city of southern Wei was lost, there were Yao Yun, Ke Zhi, Long Qin, fell off the horse in turn, Li Jue was almost a sword and a person, invincible, soon, Li Jue's reputation was greatly boosted, and resounded throughout the entire West Chu realm.
When Xiang Yu heard this, he was amazed: "I, Xichu, actually suppressed so many generals? Haha, it's my Xiang Yu's fault" Xiang Yu's words are more about Li Jue's appreciation, and at the same time, his inner expectations for Gongsun Yu: "Gongsun Yu, this king believes in Tian Du's vision, and I hope you don't let this king down"
Long He looked at the overlord on the side, and was a little sad in his heart: "Long Ji's spear has not shown its sword for a long time, it seems that there are many newcomers, although my dragon and I am not very old, but I have been ignored by my king outside the nine days, hey"
On the other side, Han Xin rode a white horse, and when he heard about the situation in the Central Plains, Han Xin said in his heart: "Gongsun Yu is a general, but he ignores a problem" With Han Xin's thoughts, the white horse galloped on a simple road.
