Where do you wake up tonight? The willow bank, the wind and the waning moon.

After drinking all night, when Guan Yu woke up from a deep dream, the sun was already shining outside the tent.

He opened his eyes, glanced at the "hairy worm" lying beside him, raised his hand and carefully moved a big thick leg he pressed on his body to the side, stretched a long lazy waist, did not alarm the other drunk generals, opened the curtain and quietly retreated.

When he returned to his camp, he ordered his personal guards to wash his face with a basin of cold water a few times, and then he was completely sober.

coincided with the arrival of Du Zhongnian and Cui Dakui, two deputy generals, Guan Yu hurriedly got up to greet the two.

Du Zhongnian smiled and hugged his fists and saluted: "General Guan, did you go to the Ma Jiajun camp to drink last night?" Li Jingcheng, the imperial history of the Qincha, came to my camp with the holy decree, and you could not be found everywhere, and I and Vice President Cui received the decree and entertained the Lord Qincha, but he was shallow in drinking, and he was drunk without drinking two glasses, and now he is still sleeping in the tent. ”

Guan Yu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Jingcheng is here, let him sleep more." What does the Emperor's Decree say? ”。

Cui Dakui continued: "The Holy Lord urges us to send troops as soon as possible, spare no effort to exterminate the remnants of the Great Qi bandits, and attack the capital as soon as possible." Li Jingcheng, the imperial historian of the Imperial Mission, stayed in our military camp to assist in government affairs, while Shi Dazai, together with King Pingnan and Ma Jiajun, parted ways with our army, attacked the designated Daqi fortress prefecture, and finally joined our army in Dadu. ”

Guan Yu raised his head and meditated for a moment, and ordered: "It's going to be a lot of hard work for the two of you in the past few days, and in three days, our army will pull out the camp and go straight to the capital of Daqi!" Artillery ammunition, follow-up grain and grass should be fully prepared, this way we should see God kill God, see Buddha*, non-stop, let the Great Qi Dynasty die as soon as possible, and return the people of the world to a long peaceful life. ”

Du Zhongnian hurriedly saluted again: "General Guan, the brothers in my battalion have experienced a hundred battles, and it is not a problem to raise troops in three days. It's just that what to do with those seriously injured soldiers? You can't take them all the way to fight, can you? ”。

Guan Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then turned his face and ordered: "Call Wang Ermao to come and listen to the order." ”

After a while, Wang Ermao hurriedly came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wang Ermao was about to kneel down and salute, Guan Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There are no outsiders here, they are all their own brothers, so they are exempt." When the general heard that you were brave enough to kill the enemy in front of the battle, he promoted you to the rank of commander and assigned you a sentry today. Our army is about to go on a march, and the wounded brethren can no longer let them suffer from traveling. This general will leave you with enough food and grass, and you will lead your subordinates to stay where they are for the time being, protect their safety, and wait for the general's orders at any time, are you willing? ”。

Wang Ermao hesitated for a moment, bowed down and saluted: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Ni Feiyan, who was lying on the couch, opened her eyes slightly, feeling top-heavy and groggy.

She was greeted by Guan Yu's concerned gaze, and behind him stood Du Zhongnian and Cui Dakui, two deputy generals, and Wang Ermao also followed.

Seeing that she woke up, Guan Yu smiled slightly and instructed left and right: "You go down first, go and visit the other seriously injured brothers, and I will come later." General Ben wants to say a few words to Ni Dutong alone. ”

Everyone turned around and retreated in amusement, Guan Yu took a step forward, bent down to sit beside Ni Feiyan, quickly grabbed her little hand and asked in a low voice, "Do you feel better?" Does the wound still hurt? ”。

Ni Feiyan closed her lips tightly, looked back at him with infinite affection, and shook her head gently.

The warm current from Guan Yu's heavy palm made her heart hot, and her eyes were a little blurry for some reason.

Guan Yu gently pulled up her little hand and put it on her cheek, and said softly: "The army will be pulled out today, but you are seriously injured, I can't bear to let you suffer from bumps again, so as not to recur the wound, so I sent Wang Ermao and others to stay to protect you, and the rest of the seriously injured people also stayed to recuperate." ”

Ni Feiyan's body moved slightly, and under the pain and anxiety, a layer of fine sweat broke out on her forehead.

She was about to speak, when Guan Yu's two fingers pressed lightly against her thin lips.

"Listen to me: the soldiers are fast, I must lead the army to go straight to the capital of Daqi. But it is by no means that abandoning you is equal to ignoring, our army will attack the city and plunder the land all the way, pass the pass and kill the generals, I will send someone to inform Wang Ermao at any time to protect you slowly forward. When our army captures the capital, it will be the time for you and me to get married, and I hope that you will be back to normal by then. I promise you, in this life and this life, you will not marry! ”。

A faint flush rippled on Ni Feiyan's pale cheeks, but for some reason, her heart was empty, and her beautiful eyes that couldn't lie revealed deep reluctance and loss.

On the vast field, the long wind is mighty, and the yellow dust is everywhere. The hustle and bustle of the battlefields of the past is long gone.

The slender panther leisurely munched on the grass on a small hillside, occasionally looking up curiously at the lonely owner who was squatting on the ground at the bottom of the hillside, without saying a word.

At the foot of the hillside was a small new grave, with a mess of thatched grass trampled and staggered beside it. There are three open wine jars lined up on the ground, and the aroma of wine is overflowing.

Guan Yu's eyes looked into the distance a little confused, and he said to himself: "Fat Yao, I know that you are a drunkard, and I am afraid that you will get drunk and make mistakes on weekdays, so I have tightened my restraint on you." Now that you're completely clean, let it go! ”。

As he spoke, he picked up a jar of wine, opened his mouth and rushed down, "Goo Dong Dong", and poured the jar full of wine in front of Yao Taihe's grave without a drop.

After doing all this, Guan Yu threw the empty wine jar aside, sat cross-legged on the ground again, and continued: "Speaking of which, our brothers are still quite fateful, as the so-called don't fight, don't know each other, right?" When I was in Suzhou City, when we met for the first time, I picked you off the horse with one shot, and you kid threw me a hammer. I originally expected that after I and Zhong Nian, Da Kui and other brothers went all the way into the capital, they would drink and talk happily, but who would have thought that your kid was really not righteous, and he would leave us here and go happy alone! ……”。

Speaking of this, Guan Yu stopped, lowered his head and raised his hand to wipe his eyes that were blown into the wind and sand.

Huaiyuan's general soldier Cheng Hongzhuo's face was pale, and his eyes stared blankly at the holy decree spread out on the table, stunned.

In his opinion, this will that ordered him to rush to the capital with his army was a mantra, and it was like a talisman.

As the saying goes: good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Cheng Zongbing also heard the bad news of the recent defeat of the Protector Army led by General Yan not long ago.

There is still some distance away from the capital, Cheng Hongzhuo, as the chief soldier, is far away from the emperor of the mountain, and there are no strong opponents around, and he lived very freely in the past.

A year ago, in order to protect himself, he led his subordinates to exterminate a small group of peasant rebels who had taken the initiative to attack and send them to death.

After the great victory, in addition to personally playing and boasting in front of the saints, he also called on the civilian officials accompanying the army to go all out and write a special account of his achievements, so that he could unceremoniously reach out to the imperial court to ask for fiefs, official titles, money and food, and so on.

And after that, he put his knives and guns into the warehouse, put the horses in Nanshan, and every day with his generals in the wine pond and meat forest, wandering among the flowers, so that he was not happy.

But now his intestines are about to repent!

As the saying goes, people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, maybe it was not so high-profile at that time, and at this time of crisis, the son may not be able to think of him today, let alone put himself in the embarrassing situation of the current dilemma.

He once claimed to the outside world that he had 50,000 or 60,000 elite soldiers under his command, but as the chief soldier, he actually knew best in his heart: how many of the team were his seven aunts and eight aunts who were nominally eating empty salaries! Even if these vain heads are removed, what is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers who can really go into battle to kill the enemy, as the supreme commander of the local area, he is also dumb and eats dumplings - he knows it in his heart.

But now that fateful decree is spread out on the table in front of him, there is no way to avoid it.

Disrespectful? Not only is it a dead end, but also the reputation of serving the country loyally in his life will be ruined, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be exterminated by his family, and he will be scolded by people early and stinking for thousands of years.

Bite the bullet? The paper can't always contain the fire. It will definitely be exposed, not to mention, the Great Chu thief Kou is a real knife and a real gun, and even the iron-blooded king master trained by the smelly and hard old man Yan was defeated by the thief, and his two brushes can only be given for nothing, and he can only die faster!

The more Cheng Zongbing, who was at a loss, thought about it, the more he had a headache, and even broke out in a cold sweat. I had to sullenly order someone to arrange a sedan chair and go back to my house first.

Stepping into the mansion, Cheng Zongbing came to the eldest lady's room first.

Mrs. Mi saw that her husband had a disparate face, and her brows were sad, and she had lost all her smiling and high-spirited spirits, and she couldn't help but be full of doubts.

Hurriedly took two steps forward and asked, "The concubine saw the old man with a sad face, but what happened?" ”。

This warm greeting made Cheng Zongbing's nose sour, and he almost didn't shed tears.

He glanced up at the eldest lady, sighed and said, "Don't hide it from the lady, the Holy Majesty ordered me to lead the army to Dadu immediately and prepare to face the Great Chu thieves. It's a blessing or a curse, for my husband, I have nothing in my heart! ”。

Mrs. Mi was stunned when she heard this, and then pouted: "Why did the master say this? Now that the national crisis is at hand, the Son of Heaven personally decrees that the Holy God attaches great importance to you, and it is also the glory of our house! A manly man, when you stand up to the sky, serve the country loyally, and stain the battlefield with blood, isn't this your lifelong wish, master? ”。

Cheng Zongbing almost didn't choke on his back, he glared at Mrs. Mi angrily, trembling his long beard and reprimanded: "Mother-in-law, you know a brush!" The bandit scratched fiercely, and the swords and guns on the battlefield were not long-sighted, and this time he led the army to Hajing City, maybe it was the time when you and I parted from life and death, yin and yang. Serving the country for the sake of the husband's loyalty, and dying on the battlefield is a small matter, how can our family play in the future? ! ”。

Hearing this, Mrs. Mi's face turned pale, and only then did she begin to get really nervous.

She said weakly: "The old man is reasonable, or ...... Sir, you can't tell you if you're sick, let someone else take the troops? ”。

Cheng Zongbing took a breath, thought about it seriously, shook his head again and again, and said: "No, the eunuch just met a certain family today, and I will suddenly fall ill tomorrow, I really can't say it." If you don't do it, you will be guilty of bullying the king, and you will be beheaded all over the house! The gains outweigh the losses, the gains outweigh the losses! ”。

At this time, Mrs. Mi was completely panicked, almost burst into tears, and hurriedly said with a crying voice: "Then how are you going to deal with it, master?" ”。
