Chapter 80: The Fragrance of the Jade Leaves the King's Name
The warrior couldn't pull away from this man whose body was as heavy as iron due to heartache, how could he go. The warrior stood in front of him, shield-wielding. But all the enemy cavalry in front of him came towards Pang Tong.
"Hugh is presumptuous!"
The fierce general who protects the Lord comes alone, and kills with two halberds on both sides. The Xiliang cavalry must have thought that Pang Tong was going to die under his spear, and the distance was only a few feet. Unfortunately, a chilling murderous aura flashed, and Dian Wei cut his head in half with a halberd.
The Pang Tong army, which killed Ma Tiejun in the distance, had high morale. Zang Ba waved his halberd and said loudly: "There it is!" β
At this moment, the trapped camp rushed back and forth to kill the enemy formation, Ma Tiejun couldn't parry, and the mountain people gradually became safe. Xu Huang recognized Ma Teng's second son, Ma Tie, and carried a heavy axe to go out of battle alone, killing a bloody road. When the mountain people saw that this man was extremely brave and killed Ma Teng's army, they made way for them.
"Ma Tie descends early!"
When Ma Tie turned to look, the horse flew by, slashed past his back, and broke in two. The surrounding Ma Tiejun generals were all shocked when they saw it, and their morale was greatly reduced.
Pang Tong's army defeated Ma Tiejun to the ground, killing and wounding more than 20,000 people, and the rest surrendered. The dejected Xiliang people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the war horses were distributed to the mountain people as trophies by Pang Tong's army, so that they could travel easily.
However, the mountain people, who had lost loved ones weeping bitterly, were too heavy to take a step. Pang Tong turned over and dismounted, took a few slow steps, and knelt down in front of Xiangyi.
"Get out of here!"
Xiang Che scolded angrily, hugging his sister's body tightly. The body was losing temperature, the pale-faced pretty woman closed her eyes, blood spilling from her chest, and plasma clotted at the edges of the wound. She was no longer breathing.
"Are you a man, my sister likes you so much!"
He wept bitterly.
"You don't care about him, you're not human! I don't care about you! β
"You have so many men, and you have only come to act like a man now! You killed my sister! β
Pang Tong stretched out his trembling hand, and it was slapped away with a "snap".
"Your Excellency."
Dian Wei leaned over behind him and shouted. Pang Tong couldn't hear any other voices anymore, he knelt there sluggishly, staring at the girl's seemingly vivid body, motionless. Chancher looked at him with hatred. It made him even more miserable.
After leading the rest of the mountain people for a while, the army deliberately approached a hilly area. High up, in front of a grave stood an irregular stone six feet deep into the ground. It was five feet out of the ground, and the surrounding soil was filled in, and it was flattened, and the body of the stone was firm.
A middle-aged stonemason among the mountain people held a hammer and a chisel, and turned his head to look at the few people behind him: "What to carve, according to the rules of our Wasai tribe, if you don't engrave your husband's name, you will become a lonely ghost." β
"That's right, many people die early and casually carve a man's name."
Said the mountain man who had just helped on one side. Shandore fainted from the pain and injuries. Badar and Xiangche stood at the front, Pang Tong was choking back with tears, he was about to cry, and behind him were Dian Wei, Xu Huang, and Zang Ba.
Badar's eyes were red and silent. The stonemason asked again in confusion: "What the hell, write the name of any of you?" β
"You can't just write one!"
Xiang Che shouted.
At this time, the sky is stacked with dark clouds. The weather this season is strange and incomprehensible, and the current climate is shivering, but who would think of the dead leaves falling or the cold wind rolling on the ground.
There was silence again, and Pang Tong knew in his heart that Shandolei had promised to give Xiangyi to Badar, so he was the right person now. But the tall man turned around sharply and grabbed Pang Tong by the neck. Suddenly, Xu Huang and Dian Wei quickly pressed the man to the ground. Kamischer turned around and glanced at it indifferently, then turned back to look at her sister's blank tombstone.
Pang Tong leaned forward and touched the red marks on his neck, and looked at the dead man who was pressed, but he still struggled to raise one hand, wanting to point at him. Badal said with a look of rage: "Bastard! Why don't you speak! Shouldn't that be your thing? You damn it, you took her heart, don't you want to be responsible? β
Mu Ran's Pang Tong was shocked, and asked almost pleadingly, "Me?" May I? β
Badal shouted: "I really want to kill you! β
Xu Huang glared angrily, and Dian Wei immediately shouted: "Don't hurt him!" β
"Let him go, even if he beats me, it is my own sin!"
Pang Tong ordered, and Dian Wei and Xu Huang let Badar go. The strong man stood motionless like a corpse, looking up at the palm-sized dead leaves of the plane trees falling in the air, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
Pang Tong walked over from his left side and shouted loudly to the stonemason with a confused face: "Pang Tong! The stonemason chiseled as he asked, and Katachiu watched without saying a word.
Inscription: Tomb of Pang Tong's wife Xiangyi.
Pang Tong knelt in front of the grave until dawn.
The boy soldier falls on Mount Wata,
A Chinese woman's love falls into the sky and Fenglang;
Male slightly waved his fingers to provoke the fire,
The plain sword is full of sorrow.
The more than ten days of travel finally ended, and the army and mountain people entered from the south gate of Chencang County. When the people saw that the scenery of Pangtong was still the same, they all welcomed and cheered.
Pang Tong looked back, and the distance, unreachable Watta Mountain Range was the place of his dreams. He returned, but his heart remained at the grave of Xiangyi.
Pang Tong immediately summoned the civil and military forces to understand the war situation.
After the Battle of Tangping, Ma Teng's army took advantage of the situation to capture Mudu County. With the assistance of the strategists, Lu Bu stabilized his position and broke through the enemy siege twice. In October, LΓΌ Bu, who had planned to fight back, imprisoned Li Ru at Jia Xu's repeated requests. Subsequently, Dian Wei, who came to Chencang in a zigzag manner, was still alive and living in the Watta Mountains, and was in a crisis situation. LΓΌ Bu decided to send 30,000 cavalry to rescue him, and personally attacked Linwei County with Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, and Lu Su with 150,000 troops.
At this time, Lu Bu's army should be engaged in battle with Ma Teng's army. Pang Tong then ordered the next day's expedition.
After Pang Tong settled the mountain people, he slept peacefully in Chencang County. But how could he know that a major event was happening in Luoyang, the "base area" in the east, that was closely related to him.
The maids in the big house were busy, and Hua Ying stood anxiously by the door. People walked back and forth with basins of water and towels in their hands. And behind the dragon and phoenix screen, you can faintly see the woman who is struggling. The scream made Hua Ying's hairs stand on end. It was a moan she had never heard before. The two midwives were sweating at the bedside, their cheeks flushed, and their hearts were uneasy.
"How's it going?"
Lu Buxian's wife, Diao Chan, frowned and walked in.
"No...... I don't know ......."
As Hua Ying was answering, there was a scream from inside that seemed to be made by a person who had been tortured from hell. Three months ago, Diao Chan was also the manager of this big battle, and hearing this terrifying voice at this moment evokes the memory of that time. She sighed endlessly: "Hey, we women are really bitter." β
Hua Ying held the edge of the door with one hand, biting her lower lip, and her forehead was as sweaty as a bean. She thought to herself, "It's really a terrible thing for both sisters to be so miserable......"
In the middle of the night, there was no good news, and the two women of the main family were pacing back and forth at the door. Twilight floated in the garden, slowly disturbing all the big rooms, and the sound of birdsong breaking through the silence in the early morning knocked at the door of the hearts of the two women.
The sun has not yet risen, and only the sound of "wah-wah" is heard. Hua Ying strode away, but was pulled by Diao Chan.
"Sister, don't worry, there's chaos inside."
Hua Ying turned her head and smiled: "It's born, it's finally born!" β
At this time, the midwife wrapped a snow-white, fat baby in a red embroidered cloth and carried it out. The two women greeted happily, Hua Ying took it, and looked at the closed eyes and slightly open mouth with pity.
The midwife's face turned pale with exhaustion, and she gasped: "Boy, a good thing, a great thing! β
Diao Chan said happily: "It's good now, I gave birth to a daughter, and I can really make a pair." β
Hua Ying also smiled: "That's, that's." What a white and tender son. As she spoke, she bypassed the collapsible barrier and came to the bed, where the maid was wiping the sweat of the bloodless Zhang Shuang.
"My sister gave birth to a good son, Shiyuan's good son!"
Zhang Shuangjiao's body trembled slightly, and said: "This is great joy, great joy, Shiyuan must be fine." β
Diao Chan hurriedly said: "Hey! I forgot. I just received a letter from Feng Xian, saying that Dian Wei is back and Shi Yuan is still alive! β
Zhang Shuang and Hua Ying cried with joy when they heard this.
After the fifth watch, Pang Tong's army had a full meal, and the hour was complete, and 30,000 horsemen set off from the West Gate under the command of Pang Tong, accompanied by Xu Huang, Dian Wei, and Gao Shun. Zang Ba led 30,000 soldiers to guard Chencang County.
That night, Zhuge Liang saw the light falling from the north on the edge of the cliff, and he fixed his eyes on the thick light. The light was shrinking, but it would be a day before it shrank to disappear. He pondered for a moment, showed a smile with an expression of amazement, waved his sleeve with his right hand, turned away, and the little boy on one side followed behind. The boy muttered in a low voice, "That Liu Bei came again today, and it's already the second time." He was so unlucky, if he stayed two more hours, he would have met Master. β
Zhuge Liang was silent.
