Chapter 3 Flashy (2b) "Jingde, you are injured. Come on, please ask for a military doctor! Seeing that Wei Chi Jingde's hands were bleeding, Li Shimin didn't care about sending people to chase and kill Shan Xiongxin, rushed forward, and hugged the shoulders of his confidant and favorite general.

"It's okay, it's just a skin injury!" Wei Chi Jingde smiled and shook his head slightly, "Just pack the bag casually, don't mess with the morale of the army." The sky is too dark, and the enemy generals are very skilled in martial arts. It is not advisable to chase and kill! ”

"It's up to you!" Li Shimin hesitated slightly, nodded and accepted Wei Chi Jingde's suggestion. When Shan Xiongxin stabbed himself just now, more than 20 guards stepped forward to stop him, and they were all stabbed to death by Shan Xiongxin under the horse one by one. Chasing and killing such a peerless general, sending fewer manpower is equivalent to sending him to death in vain. If too many soldiers were mobilized, the command system of the Zhaozhou battalion would be completely disrupted, and if Shan Xiongxin ambushed soldiers and horses nearby, the Zhaozhou battalion, which only had about 5,000 people, would be in danger. Therefore, it is better not to chase and leave freely. Wait for the future to meet on the battlefield, and then repay today's blood debt.

"Just now, if it weren't for General Cheng's arrows to interfere, the last general wouldn't have been able to take Shan Xiongxin's long lance." Wei Chi Jingde thought about it and continued to remind.

After only two or three breaths, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had recovered from shock and anger to normalcy. nodded, smiled and hugged his fists at Cheng Mingzhen and the others, "Lone's life was saved by General Wei Chi and Brother Cheng together." Great grace is not grateful, if General Cheng is useful to a lonely place in the future, just speak! ”

"Your Highness has killed the last general!" Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly took a few steps forward and reached the ground for a long time, "Your Highness doesn't care about the crime of poor protection, which has already made us ashamed. Don't mention the word 'great grace' again! ”

"Lone shouldn't have traveled in a micro-suit, even if there is a mistake, you can't be blamed." Li Shimin smiled and shook his head slightly. "I didn't expect that Wang Shichong would have such a wise and brave general under his command, and he was caught off guard by killing Lone. What about the casualties of the brothers, and how well did the army have enough medicine? ”

"I haven't had time to count yet!" Cheng Mingzhen gave another salute and replied truthfully. "The scouts on the periphery of the southwest side are estimated to have been wiped out, and the last general's personal soldiers just fought with Shan Xiongxin's subordinates, and the losses were also very heavy!"

While speaking, Wang Fei, Zhang Jin and the others had already arrived in June, and while they were looking for their own soldiers to treat the wounded soldiers in the army, they also dispatched soldiers and horses to search around, so as not to hide more assassins nearby. Everyone yelled and tossed for a while before reconfirming the safety of the surroundings.

"Seventeen scouts were killed, all with a single sword. Twenty-one of the general's personal guards were killed, nine were seriously wounded, and fourteen were hung in the lottery! On the side of His Royal Highness King Qin, six guards were killed in battle and fifteen people were seriously injured! Zhang Jin stepped forward and reported with a bit of grief and indignation.

It was only a quarter of an hour before and after, and such a person died. Hearing the report, both Li Shimin and Cheng Mingzhen couldn't help but be stunned. "Are the enemy alive?" "What about Bao Shouxin? How was he hurt? After hesitating, they spoke almost simultaneously. Then they looked at each other and closed their mouths at the same time.

"King Qin, the enemy army is all dead. All those who didn't have time to evacuate committed suicide! Zhang Jin arched his hand and responded with red eyes. Then he turned his face to Cheng Mingzhen, "Brother Bao, I'm afraid it won't be." Lang Zhong was trying his best to save him, but the blood kept gushing out of his mouth. General, if the general is free, try to find time to see him. ”

Cheng Mingzhen was originally a little annoyed that Bao Shouxin did not respect military orders, which led to the attack of King Qin. After listening to Zhang Jin's report, a sadness surged in his heart, he nodded, and responded in a deep voice: "I'll go over now." There are still old ginseng in the army, and they all came to General Bao to boil and drink! ”

"Lonely, come with you!" Li Shimin quickly interjected, and followed behind Cheng Mingzhen. With years of experience, he could see that Bao Shouxin enjoyed a certain prestige in the Yuzhou camp. Although this person committed the crime of guiding the enemy general, the other person was already dying, and there was no need to pursue it further, and then he would lose the support of the entire Zhaozhou battalion.

The soldiers quickly made way of a passage and led Cheng Mingzhen, Li Shimin and others with torches to the temporary medical hall. I saw three or four people dressed in Langzhong, busy around Bao Shouxin alone. Golden needles, white arrowroots, red medicine and other things that could be used were all beckoned, but they still couldn't stop a large stream of blood from pouring out from the corners of Bao Shouxin's mouth and nostrils.

Seeing this scene, Wei Chi Jingde couldn't help but shake his head lightly. At that time, others were busy protecting King Qin, and they didn't see it clearly, but the scene where Bao Shouxin flew in front of Shan Xiongxin was what he saw with his own eyes. With Shan Xiongxin's strength, that lance was enough to smash Bao Shouxin's abdomen and six organs, although there was no injury visible through the armor and skin at the moment, but even if Hua Tuo was alive, he couldn't be saved.

Hearing the noisy footsteps around him, Bao Shouxin, who had been struggling to persevere, slowly opened his eyes. His mouth opened, and before he could say a word, a mouthful of blood spurted out again.

"Brother Bao!" Cheng Mingzhen stepped forward and pressed Bao Shouxin's shoulder, "Don't say anything, I know, I can't blame you for tonight's incident!" The enemy will be too strong, and it will come too suddenly! ”

Bao Shouxin smiled, revealing his scarlet teeth. "I, I'm ......." he gasped hard, his eyes full of unwillingness. After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, he finally relieved a trace of anger, "I, I, therefore, deliberately, let him be captured alive!" It's dark, it's dark. Gotta have to have someone, report, call the police! ”

In an instant, everyone understood Bao Shouxin's distress, and his face was full of solemnity. The enemy took advantage of the darkness of the night to touch it and attacked it cleanly. As a scout commander, being able to warn the main general in time is a hundred times more important than his personal honor and disgrace. So he would rather be captured alive by the other party, pretending to be honest and cooperative. It is to paralyze the enemy army in order to find an opportunity to give their own people a wake-up call in time.

Otherwise, even if he died on the spot. After solving the peripheral scouts, Shan Xiongxin and the others could also grab the medicine according to the prescription, and touch it all the way to Cheng Mingzhen, and suddenly struck a blow. In that case, the consequences would be even more dire.

"You're doing a great job. Say no more. I have sent someone to fetch the old ginseng. Luo Cheng's injury was worse than this back then, was it not the same that he was cured? Cheng Mingzhen sniffled, held back the tears in his eyes, and whispered comfort.

"Yes, if there are not enough old ginseng in the army, Lone will immediately send someone back to the main camp to get it! You take good care of your injuries, and after breaking Luoyang, you will arrest Shan Xiongxin and let you kill him with your own hands! Li Shimin also stepped forward and said with a smile.

He is gifted and heroic, and his mind is far sharper than ordinary people. After hurrying over tonight's events in my heart, I understood that if it weren't for the proper handling of the scout surnamed Bao, he would have died in the hands of Shan Xiongxin. He can't help but repay this great favor, if the scout surnamed Bao can survive the current hurdle, as long as he lives for one day in the future, he must ensure that this person is rich and prosperous for a day.

"Xie, Xie..." Bao Shouxin gasped, barely squeezing out a smile to Li Shimin. The reason why he tried his best to persist and strive to see Cheng Mingzhen and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, for the last time, was not to take revenge, nor to show merit. Instead, he hoped to explain the whole thing clearly and avoid King Qin's misunderstanding.

The battle between the crown prince Jiancheng and the Qin king Shimin is known to almost everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty. As a scout leader, Bao Shouxin consciously spoke softly and could not influence Cheng Mingzhen's choice. However, with years of experience in the rivers and lakes, he stubbornly believes that Cheng Mingzhen's current approach seems to be innocent of both ends, but in fact he has offended both ends. Before the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Qin was distinguished, everything was okay. In case one of the princes and the king of Qin wins the final victory, waiting for the result of the Zhaozhou camp may not be very wonderful.

Therefore, he couldn't make King Qin feel any slack. For the sake of myself and my family, and for the sake of the brothers around me who share weal and woe. It is not easy for the people of Juluze to struggle to get to where they are today in the troubled times, and everyone has the responsibility to maintain it. For the sake of this hard-won peace, even if it is broken, Bao Shouxin will not hesitate.

Seeing that Bao Shouxin's eyes were getting more and more distracted, Wang Ermao silently stepped forward and put his ear to the other party's mouth. "Brother Bao, do you have any other wishes? Just speak up, and the brethren promise to live up to you! ”

"Child, child......." Bao Shouxin's eyes gathered the last faint light and muttered.

"Your eldest son will succeed you in office. The other children, male and female, I sent them to be raised. The man is under my account, and I will personally send her to marry my daughter! Seeing that the life-saving benefactor was about to die, Li Shimin, who was surrounded by everyone, seemed to be moved by true feelings, leaned down, and shouted loudly.

"Thanks, thanks," Bao Shouxin muttered in response. His eyes did not look at King Qin, but stared directly at Cheng Mingzhen. Cheng Mingzhen wiped away his tears and leaned down, "Keep your word, King Qin is a person who keeps his promises." What he promised, he will definitely be able to do. Rest assured, whether you get better or not, the brothers will take care of your family! ”

"Old Bao, hold on a little longer. The medicine is coming soon! ”

"Old Bao, you are not allowed to die. Your son hasn't married yet! ”

The generals saw that Bao Shouxin had run out of oil, and they surrounded him and shouted loudly. Over the years, life and death have been seen a lot, and everyone's feelings are almost the same

It's already numb, and it is easy not to cry because of death. But now that the good days have come, I didn't expect to say goodbye to a brother again, who doesn't have a heart like a knife?

Bao Shouxin smiled, his face full of relief. There was no blood in his mouth, and the sound of his breathing became more and more slight, "Teach, teach the head!" I, I didn't expect that we, we would still be able to walk out of the giant deer! ”

"What are you talking about? You have a good rest, the medicine will be delivered immediately! Cheng Ming shook his head and reached out to hold Bao Shouxin's already cold palm. The medicine will come soon, you, you hold on a little longer! ”

"Lao Bao, you are unproductive, hold on a little longer, hold on a little more!" Wang Ermao grabbed Bao Shouxin's other arm, as if trying to pull him back from the bull's head and horse face.

A line of tears flowed from the corners of Bao Shouxin's eyes, but his face was a little satisfied and happy, "Yes, I can see, see today's day, I, I, content!" ”

With that, he tilted his head to the side and fell asleep for a long time.

Feeling that the temperature between his palms was getting colder and colder, Cheng Mingzhen stretched out his other hand and silently wiped the blood stains on Bao Shouxin's face. He didn't want to say anything more, all the words were redundant at the moment, and Bao Shouxin had already expressed it clearly before he died. He is content with today's peaceful days, and he has no regrets about it.

From life to death, even if he wore the brocade robe of General Wupin in the end, in essence, Bao Shouxin was still a grass man. He doesn't have too high goals in life, what "to worship the marquis" and "immediately seize the immortal fame", these words will only be said as jokes when he is drunk, and he never takes it seriously when he wakes up. He was born into mediocrity, and he was willing to be mediocre. I feel extremely happy to be able to eat two pig's trotters in one meal, and I feel extremely satisfied when I can watch the seedlings on my own land thrive. When his peaceful life was ruined, he had to pick up a knife and resist angrily. But when the troubled times are over, his most hopeful choice is not to follow the hero to win the championship, but to return to his wife and children and continue to live an ordinary life.

Up and down the camp in Zhaozhou, there are ten ** people like Bao Shouxin. On the land of the Central Plains, there are countless lives of Bao Shouxin. They are cunning, greedy, lazy, and stingy, but deep down, they have never lost their good nature as human beings. In the eyes of the ambitious, they are short-sighted and incorrigible. However, they can give everything they have for the meager dreams in their hearts.

"Let's go, carry the Yellow Tooth Abalone back to the barracks!" I don't know who whispered it, and it was immediately responded to by everyone. Wang Ermao stepped forward, bent down and lifted one end of the stretcher. Zhang Jin leaned over and lifted the other head. Cheng Mingzhen raised the torch, and Wang Fei smiled and covered Bao Shouxin's body with white gezu. Everyone did not ask for the opinion of King Qin, the highest authority present, and King Li Shimin of Qin did not express any dissatisfaction. just glanced at Wei Chi Jingde and silently followed behind the stretcher.

Like Bao Shouxin, Li Shimin can support a dozen of five-grade sesame mung beans at will. But today, watching a five-grade sesame mung bean die in front of him, his heart was deeply shocked. The eldest husband only wished that the horse leather would be returned, and almost since he could remember, Li Shimin's heart was surging with the blood of a hero. He was not afraid of death, nor was he tired of the sound of drums. Whether it is in front of the two armies or on another battlefield, he will choose to move forward bravely, even if he falls short in the end, he is not willing to be mediocre in this life.

However, Bao Shouxin's death made him see a completely different life. It is incompatible with the education he received since he was a child and what he has seen and heard over the years. If it weren't for the fact that his wife and children were all in the rear of the Yuzhou battalion, whether Bao Shouxin would really surrender to the enemy, Li Shimin was not sure about this. He felt that the other party would do that. Because in the eyes of people like Bao Shouxin, I'm afraid that the king of Qin is not worth his death, and even Cheng Mingzhen is not worthy of his life. He lives, not for righteousness, destiny. There is no pursuit, just to live happily and less harm for himself and his family.

So much for!

Humble as grass, mediocre as grass, even if it grows as tall as a small tree, inside the body, there is still a mind of grass mustard. This kind of person is not of great use, and he cannot bear too much trust. However, it is one after another Bao Shouxin who holds up the entire Central Plains!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's gaze at the soldiers in Zhaozhou softened. He finally understood Cheng Mingzhen's choice. In the future, I will not be jealous, even if there is no relationship between Bao Shouxin and sacrificing his life to save him, he will not be jealous
