The sunset fades away, and the twilight is confused. In addition, the summer wind has become particularly noisy in the past few days, which seems to slightly dilute the unbridled heat for several days to some extent. But I don't know if it's because it's still besieged by the Yellow Turban Thieves, but in Changshe City, which has become a large military camp, the atmosphere is still hot.

At this time, on a high platform temporarily built in the city to look out at the enemy, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the two festival generals, were dressed in plain clothes, and they rarely enjoyed some night breeze.

"In this way, Brother Yizhen actually has a strategy to break the enemy?" After talking a few words, Zhu Jun, who was sitting on the stage blowing the wind, couldn't help but look back seriously and asked.

"yes." Huangfu Song, who was sitting on the side, answered frankly. "Although Na Bocai has some talent, but his experience is insufficient, the grass and trees are flourishing in summer, and when he set up camp, he didn't know to remove the long grass and trees next to the camp, and even some handsome people put the military camp next to the woods because of the heat. Plus our army is in the east, and the thief army is in the west...... Hehe, the southeast wind is flourishing in summer, in such a situation, if we can follow Tiandan's strategy of going out of the city to attack the fire, wouldn't we be able to do our best in one battle? ”

"Indeed!" Zhu Jun thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but bow his head again and again. "Such a situation should be attacked, Brother Yizhen has an excellent strategy, but why is it delayed for a long time, and he only told me today?"

"Because there are two difficulties," Huang Fu Song replied earnestly.

"I want to hear about it."

"First, arson must be set by the wind." Huangfu Song raised his hand and pointed to the south. "The southeast wind rises in summer, and the enemy camp is a north and south camp, so it is necessary to have a brigade of elite and daring soldiers with torches, firewood and grass to venture out of the city and go around to the southernmost part of the enemy camp, so as to make the best arson strategy, and only then can the whole army march and kill the enemy while the fire is fired!"

"This matter is easy!" Zhu Jun immediately stood up proudly. "I ......"

"Why do you need the general to go in person?" Without waiting for Zhu Jun to finish speaking, Sun Jian, who was standing next to him, flashed out directly, and then replied proudly. "Please ask the two lieutenant generals to allocate enough supplies with me, and the more than 1,000 Huaiyang disciples in my headquarters are enough to break through the enemy formation and kill the southernmost side of the enemy camp and set fire to the wind!"

Zhu Jun did not hide his admiration and pride: "What do you think of Brother Yizhen, Wentai is so brave and can be driven?" ”

Huangfu Song also slightly pinched his head: "If you use this plan, you must take Wentai as the vanguard!" However, since it is mainly arson, when you can sneak, you will sneak, and it is really not too late to force the assault! ”

Sun Jian was overjoyed when he got the promise, so he naturally agreed again and again.

"But other than that," said the Emperor Fuzhenfu. "The reason why I have hesitated so often is that there is actually a second difficulty, that is, the White Horse General Gongsun Zhonglang after the water in the north is under the command of the ......"

"Is there any explanation for that?" Zhu Jun sat down again, but couldn't help frowning, and interjected to ask. "Now that we have such a brilliant plan, what if we don't have him?"

Huangfu Song shook his head again and again: "At first, he hesitated, but it was because he suddenly came with reinforcements, which made Bo Cai more or less vigilant, and made the thief army a lot more serious about protecting it day after day......"

"Then there's no need to worry about that now." Zhu Gongwei couldn't help but interject again. "This white horse general led 20,000 troops, but he just sat across the river all day to watch the success or failure, not to mention that our army was disappointed, but the thieves have relaxed a lot!"

"This is more and more communication!" Huangfu Song patted the other party's knee and said earnestly. "Gongwei, as I said before, looking at the past of this white horse general, he is by no means afraid to fight, nor is he unable to fight...... Listen to me...... I was still suspicious before, but in the past few days, I saw that the Yellow Turban Thief had become lax again, but I decided that he was deliberately paralyzing the thief and was going to make a surprise! You say, our department is divided into two, if the two sides have their own tricks, but do not communicate with each other, then sit back and watch the fighter planes not mention, in case it is self-defeating and mutual surprise, who is it that goes wrong? It's okay for you and me to enter Luo, I'm afraid that the situation will collapse, and the thieves will directly sweep Heluo! ”

Zhu Jun was silent for a while.

"What the general said is very true." Huang Fu Song also suddenly flashed out behind him at this time, he bowed his hand slightly to the two people who were sitting, and said directly. "The situation on the battlefield is extremely complicated today, there are cities, rivers, summer winds, scorching sun, and fires...... If you are not careful, under the chaos of the 160,000 army, what will not be crushed into powder? Therefore, communication is necessary. And Xie Bucai is willing to go to the north bank of Weishui and make a contact for the three generals! ”

Zhu Jun finally nodded reluctantly: "I am not a person who does not know the overall situation, if Nanrong is willing to go, it is naturally excellent, you are the same door of the white horse general, and it is easy to talk if you want to come there." It's just that...... It's so far back and forth, is it still too late now, will it be lost on the fighter? ”

"Please rest assured." Fu Xie immediately said. "In order to prevent delays in the military situation, I will not cross the river from behind me and make a detour, but go directly out of the city overnight to the north!"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were stunned together, even Sun Jian couldn't help but take a second look at Sima, a tall soldier who had always followed Huangfu Song and looked like a scholar more than a general, and greatly changed his opinion of him. After all, the so-called overnight out of the city to the north undoubtedly meant that he was going to give up the safer but more remote road to the east behind him, and instead risk crossing directly in front of the two armies, and then swim across the river to find Gongsun Xun...... The latter road, although fast, will undoubtedly take a lot of risks, and it is not uncommon to lose your life.

You must know that the so-called son of a daughter does not sit in the hall, unlike Sun Jian's heroic background, Fu Xie was born in a famous family in Liangzhou and has a good future, but he dares to ignore his personal life and death for the sake of the battle situation, no wonder the other three people present have turned their eyes.

However, just now, Sun Wentai has already come out of the ranks and invited himself to be a pioneer, at this time the heroic spirit is still there, but Huangfu Song is not easy to persuade much, and he can only barely bow his head for a long time: "In this case, why not take a few more people?" ”

"Not necessarily." Fu Xie, who is extremely tall, is still calm in the night. "Sneaking in front of the two armies, there are too many people, but it is easy to attract the attention of thieves, I can do it alone!"

Zuo Zhonglang will become more and more speechless.

Seeing this, Fu Xie didn't delay any longer, and actually gave up his hand directly, preparing to go down to clean up, and go out of the city overnight.

However, when Sun Jian saw the other party's demeanor, he also admired this famous disciple in his heart, so he immediately stopped the other party: "Fu Sima is heroic, he shouldn't have said anything more." But Sima went this time, I am afraid that he will have to swim across the water, and there is a trustworthy hero beside me, called Jiang Qin and Jiang Gongyi, who is a native of Jiujiang, and his water nature is excellent...... How about taking him with you? ”

Fu Xie thought about it for a while, but there was no reason to refuse this, so he directly thanked and agreed. Then he made an appointment with this Sun Wentai, and after half an hour, let Jiang Qin go to the east gate of Changshe City to meet him, and then go out of the city directly by night.

After that, the two stepped down directly and went back to prepare. At this point, the two generals didn't have the heart to blow the wind, so they also dispersed.

In this way, Fu Xie returned to his residence to prepare, but when he said that he was preparing, he only asked the two soldiers to help with his clothes, weapons, and horses, so there was nothing to do, but the time was early, so he had to sit in the courtyard of the private house where he lived and wait for the sky.

However, not long after he sat down, he heard a commotion in front of the door, and then a familiar voice suddenly came:

"Is Nan Rong there?"

Fu Xie knew that it was Huangfu Song when he heard it, of course he didn't dare to slack off, he got up directly and opened the door to greet him, and then said that the general was more than a general.

"I knew Nanrong had nothing to prepare." Huangfu Song came to the courtyard and couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"It's just to inform the other party so that the other party doesn't misjudge, so what is there to prepare?" Fu Xie also replied with a smile.

"You can't say that." Huangfu Song waved his hand, and a guard immediately walked out from behind him with a tray. "Since that White Horse General is your fellow senior brother, you might as well bring this!"

Another guard tore off the cloth from the tray, revealing four large and four small, so-called eight pieces and four pairs of crystal clear white jade.

Fu Xie was stunned for a while, but then suddenly realized - this is a gift to Gongsun Xun.

"Two in the name of me and Zhu Gongwei, and two in the name of you and Sun Wentai...... Since Sun Wentai has sent a henchman with you, you have to prepare one for others, otherwise it won't look good. Huangfu Song explained. And gentlemen fellowship and give jade to each other, which can neither be called bribery nor shabby. However, if you encounter a thief on the road, you don't have to worry about throwing Yugui to the ground, maybe you can delay it for a while. ”

Fu Xie thought about it for a long time, and in the end he could only secretly sigh that Huangfu Song was thoughtful, so he immediately smiled bitterly, first thanked the other party, and then personally took the four pieces of jade and put them under the corridor.

On the other side, Huangfu Song sent Yugui off, but he didn't mean to leave, but took advantage of the situation to sit in the courtyard and waved his hand to rebuke left and right.

"Nanrong." After retreating left and right, Huangfu Song rarely got up. "I have been guarding the northern land for several years, and you are the only one in the county who has won my heart, and I have always drawn you to my heart...... This time, I didn't even bring my own children and nephews, but I recommended you to join the army, do you know my heart? ”

Fu Xie was silent for a moment, but he suddenly saluted respectfully to the other party in the courtyard: "How can I not know the love of Ming Gong?" It's just that I'm worried about national affairs, so how can I not do my best? ”

"It's not that you don't want to do your best!" Huangfu Song, who has always been calm, rarely has a good temperament. "But what's the point of crossing the front line of an army of more than 100,000 alone? Can't we send a few messengers? Do you have to learn from that Sun Wentai and fight again and again? ”

"Sun Wentai is also a hero!" Fu Xie replied with a stiff neck.

"I knew you were afraid of losing my face, so you took the initiative to invite you!" Huangfu Song became more and more angry. "Why bother?"

"I do mean to meet my senior brother for a while." Fu Xie bowed his head in embarrassment. "Counting the time, the last time I met him was when the Xiping Stone Sutra was first formed...... At that time, I was under the Liu Gongmen with the three brothers of Gongsun and Wang Wendu of Taiyuan, and I continued to study all day, but the three brothers were good at dancing with long sleeves and doing many social things...... And in a blink of an eye, it's been almost ten years, and I have a lot of emotion in my heart, I really want to see him, I want to see how he has done so many great things in the past few years, how he has moved the world, and how he has left us all behind! ”

"Let's not talk about that." Huangfu Song said awe-inspiringly. "After all, there are three points to compete with Sun Wentai, right?"

Fu Xie silently should not.

"That's not right!" Huangfu Song was even more helpless when he saw this. "Nanrong, are you and I the same thing as Sun Wentai and Zhu Gongwei!"

Hearing this, Fu Xie suddenly raised his head and looked at the person in front of him: "General, I know what you mean, you mean to say that we are border generals who study, they are border generals who don't study, and Liangzhou Sanming, including Uncle Huang Fugong, parted ways because he didn't read." But in my opinion, whether it is Sun Wentai or Zhu Gong, they are all people with great righteousness in their hearts......"

"I didn't say they weren't heroes." Unexpectedly, Huangfu Song actually calmed down. Moreover, the difference between us and them is not whether we can read or not, but whether we can survive, or what we want! Let me ask you, Zhu Gongwei was born in a poor family, Sun Wentai was a strong faction, and both of them forgot their lives lightly, like outlaws, is it a coincidence? ”

Fu Xie was slightly stunned, and then calmed down.

"Whether it's a poor family or a strong family, how difficult is it to match purple and green?" Huangfu Song also sighed a little. "So in order to seek a future, they are somewhat disregarding their lives and even their reputation...... But if you do this, I'm afraid that sooner or later you will hurt yourself, and then you will die without a place to bury! ”

Fu Xie bowed his head and was silent.

"And what about us? We have long passed the point of seeking fame and a future. Huangfu Song continued. The so-called Kanto is the prime minister, Kansai is the general, we are the general, the famous family, as long as we don't cause trouble, we can naturally be officials to 2,000 stones, and in the event of war, we can naturally seal the Hou Rongzu...... However, after all, this world belongs to the Son of Heaven and the scholars, and we warriors cannot compare with them, so what we ask for is to find a balance between the Son of Heaven and the scholars! It is to let the Son of Heaven use us, and let the scholars respect us! Mencius has a saying, if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, this is the most reasonable saying! ”

Huangfu Song rarely lost his temper and spoke for a long time, but Fu Xie still bowed his head and remained silent.

"Nanrong." Huangfu Song couldn't help but grab the other party's hand. "Liangzhou is withered and turbulent, we have too few readers, and even fewer excellent readers like you. In addition, Duan Xi and his family turned against us, which can be called unsettled, but at this time, the DPRK and China saw that there was another dispute...... Nanrong, I'm fifty years old, and this time I gritted my teeth and opened my eyes for the party, which has already attracted the hatred in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and now I can't wait to bring you out, I hope you can pick up the burden! Liangzhou Jiangmen will depend on you to maintain it in the future, how can you learn that Sun Wentai on the battlefield to be so frivolous? ”

"General." Fu Xie suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining in the dark night. "I understand what you said, but now that the Han is crumbling, the Son of Heaven is having trouble sleeping, and the people are panicking, at this time, shouldn't they learn from Sun Wentai and they will fight to the death for the country first? If this campaign is unfavorable, then what is the use of what you are talking about? ”

Huangfu Song looked at the other party's eyes for a while, and finally was speechless, so he patted the other party's shoulder, looked up to the sky and sighed and left.

As soon as the other party left, Fu Xie no longer had the awe-inspiring look he had just now, but instead sat back under the porch with some hesitation, as if he was a little disturbed by Huangfu Song's words. However, when his eyes flashed over the white jade gui under the torch and he picked up one of them, his face suddenly became solemn.

It is said that when Fu Xie was crowning, the original character was young, but when I read the "Book of Songs" one day, I read one of them, and the poem said:

The defilement of the white defilement can still be grinded;

Words are defiled, and they cannot be done.

The meaning of the poem is that if there is a stain on the white jade, it can be rubbed off, but if a person does something wrong, it is impossible to take it back.

At that time, Fu Xie was grateful for his words, recited several times, and then suddenly thought of an allusion in history, that is, Confucius's disciple Nangong Kuo (the word Nanrong) couldn't help but read this poem several times, and Confucius was greatly appreciated, and his niece was married to the other party...... As soon as he thought of this, Fu Xie immediately changed the word Nanrong, in order to motivate himself not to act against his will and morality.

And now, Fu Nanrong touched Yugui again in the night, but he regained his faith...... What is right is right, what is wrong is wrong, what should be done should be done, and what should not be done should not be done...... When the national disaster is at hand, is it the time to cherish one's life?

"I don't want that Fu Nanrong to be a little arrogant!" Sun Jiantun, this Jiangdong hero was actually talking to Zhu Jun in private, and he had a lot of respect for Fu Xie.

"Fu Nanrong is a straightforward person." Zhu Jun couldn't help but sigh in admiration. "It's much stronger than General Huangfu's delicate heart."

Sun Wentai was helpless: "Zhu Gong, what's wrong?" In my opinion, General Gongsun and General Huangfu are all rare heroes, why can't you look down on them one by one? ”

"What's wrong with it?" Zhu Jun spread his hands and asked awe-inspiringly. "I didn't impeach them, I didn't scold them to my face, and I didn't secretly stumble on them, don't I dare to look down on them in my heart?!"

"That's not what I mean." Sun Jian said more and more helplessly. "It's just that I think both of them ...... It's really remarkable...... General Huangfu treats his subordinates very well and is very strategic; As for the white horse general, I didn't lie, in the battle of Khan Mountain that day, he was indeed a hero, and my Sun Jian still feels nostalgic! ”

"And then?" Zhu Jun sneered. "And now one of them did not hesitate to delay the fighter plane in order not to offend his colleagues; A successful and famous, young with double seals and double ribbons, but still want to enjoy the work alone, without ventilating with us...... How can I not look down on it? ”

Sun Jian was speechless.

"Wentai." Zhu Jun let out a rare sigh, and then took a few steps forward in the night. "They are all from famous families, such as Huangfu Song and Fu Xie, and they are not worried about their future as soon as they are born; For example, Gongsun Xun, maybe because of his failure when he was young, he had to work hard, but now he doesn't have to work so hard...... It's you and me, a poor family, a strong man, what else is there besides taking your life to fight for a background? And since you need to fight for your life all the time, why do you need to care about the eyes of outsiders? ”

Sun Jian's heart was rarely moved, and he couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask the general, what should our group care about?" ”

"I care about the Son of Heaven, I care about the center, I care about Luoyang, and then I don't live up to the lord, I don't live up to my kindness, and I don't live up to my hometown...... If one day it really comes out, then it will live up to the world! Zhu Jun stopped, looked back at his most admired subordinate, and said frankly. In this way, it is enough to be proud of the heroes of the world! ”

Sun Jian pondered for a moment, took a few steps back, and saluted respectfully.

"Actually, it's not that mysterious." Zhu Jun helped the other party up, and sneered again. "In my opinion, we are fighting for our lives, and we don't know where we will die on which day. But those people are all calculating and working hard, but they may not be able to grasp the situation, and they may be swallowed up by the general trend of the world in the future! It's better that you and I can live happily! So, Wentai, don't think too much, you fight this battle well, as long as the fire burns, you will be the first merit...... I don't believe in your Sun Wentai's bravery, you can't do 2,000 stones in this life, and you can't seal it! ”

Sun Jian bowed his head again, and when he got up again, his heart was already full of fighting spirit.

After a while, Sun Wentai sent Jiang Qin to the east gate to meet Fu Xie, but he only bowed his hand slightly, and then turned back in a dashing manner, and Fu Nanrong and Jiang Qin also went out of the city at night, rode side by side, and went straight to the north.

I have to say that this Jiujiang hero, who is called Jiang Qinzi Gongyi, is really outstanding, and the two of them first encountered a team of Yellow Turban Army sentry horses on the way, but he killed three people in a row and drove them away. And when he came to Weishui, he was very good at water, and he easily found a convenient place to swim in the dark night, and then easily crossed the river and went straight to the Han army camp on the north bank of the river.

The existence of this person made Fu Nanrong easily see Gongsun Xun, who he hadn't seen for many years, but he was immediately stunned on the spot, and he was dumbfounded for a while.

"Nanrong hasn't seen me for many years, but today is just the right time." Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the horse, laughed when he saw someone coming. "This Jiang Qin and Jiang Gongyi are also wonderful, you two might as well go with us!"

"Brother Wenqi, what are you going to do?" Fu Xie, who came back to his senses, didn't have time to greet him, so he first grabbed Gongsun Xun's reins in a panic.

It's really not Fu Xie's fuss...... It turned out that the front of the Han army camp at this time was dark and quiet as usual, but nearly 10,000 knights and thousands of horses had gathered in the melon field behind the camp. Under the torches, I saw that these knights were all fully equipped, and everyone was ready to stop, and the horses were tied with firewood and grass and unlit torches.

Obviously, this white horse general is about to do a big thing!

"As you can see," Gongsun Xun replied with a condescending smile as he sat on his white horse. "I was about to sneak overnight, go upstream to cross the river, and then go around to the south side of the enemy, and set fire to the wind......"

"This ......," Fu Xie wanted to say and stopped.

"You don't have to go back to report it!" Gongsun Xun leaned over and held his little brother's palm. "I've already sent someone across the river to Changshe City, and I should have arrived at this time...... You don't have to tell me about the plan of the two generals in the city, for if they can't think of setting fires, wouldn't it be in vain? ”

Fu Xie was silent.

Gongsun Xun patted the other party's palm, then spread his hand, and then turned back to the generals around him and said proudly: "Let's go, the whole army is slowly silent, and after a hard night, tomorrow will make 100,000 thieves annihilated!" ”

After that, he actually took the lead by directly hitting the horse, and the generals were also awe-inspiring, urging the people of each department to contain a piece and a horse to tie their mouths, and follow closely.

Fu Xie looked at the senior brother he hadn't seen for nearly ten years in a daze, and was speechless for a while...... There is only one thought in his mind, the head of Huangfu Song's analysis is the Tao, what kind of side generals who read, what kind of border generals who don't read, what kind of generals who want to find a balance between the Son of Heaven and scholars, and desperately seek a poor and strong man from a background...... However, can all of this really be applied to his senior brother?

What kind of general is this white horse?

Fu Xie was dazed for a long time, but he saw that the army was flowing like a stream, advancing continuously, but he finally glanced at Jiang Qin behind him, and then cheered up, turned over their wet mounts again, and joined the cavalry army like a torrent.
