Chapter Seventy-Four: Miserable

You don't see, Qinghai head, no one collects the white bones in ancient times, the new ghosts are annoyed and the old ghosts are crying, and the sky is cloudy and rainy. - Du Fu's "Carriage Soldiers"

The sky was filled with gloomy dark clouds, the wind howled in the sky, and the smell of blood-red fish permeated the dead and noisy city. The city had long since become unrecognizable, and the wails and sword shadows that had just dissipated bloomed in the heavy snow, and the piles of debris were hideous and terrifying, and the thick aura was almost suffocating. At this time, both sides stopped, and the leaders who were facing each other in front of the two sides were tired and decisive, and the war between Dayuan and Taijue was already a tragic and catastrophe of blood.

How many people's wives and wives have been separated from this war, and their families have been ruined. And how many people will be uprooted from their homes.

Looking at the soldiers who fought bloodily on the city, holding their tired bodies, but their eyes were full of resolute gaze, the city was already a broken and wreckage, and the able-bodied soldiers, supporting their tired bodies, carried the wounded soldiers down for treatment, and the blood on the ground stained the whole earth red.

At some point, a light rain fell in the sky, not heavy, hitting the tiles of the city, making a ticking sound, not like it was raining, but like it was fogging, and the world in front of me was blocked in a dense network of rain. Chen Yi looked into the distance, and the streets, buildings, and pedestrians were all left with a somewhat vague wheel corridor. The raindrops were cold on the body, but even in the air, somehow, there was a chilling breath, and the remaining beacon fire was finally silently extinguished after that downpour.

"Pay attention, and if there is an enemy army coming to sneak attack, immediately warn you." After the general defending the city finished speaking, he hurried down.

After returning to the Huotou Army, Chen Shaoxuan and Goudan sat next to Chen Yi, silent on the side, Luo Xiao walked in from outside, grabbed the kettle on the table, and drank it in a big gulp, the originally bright armor was dark red.

After drinking the water, he took off the armor on his head, sat on the chair and gasped: "I'm tired, I don't know when our army will arrive." ”

Chen Yi said in a deep voice: "Haven't you heard any news from the rest of the army?" In order to save time, the army was divided into five routes, according to the time, the rest of the army was almost to Jinling City, for some reason Chen Yi was full of worries, feeling that things were not so simple.

The rest of the army and grain and grass supplies have not yet arrived, Luo Pengfei has an expedited three days, a special express for six days, and fast horses go back and forth to Chang'an every day.

Emperor Yuanjie looked at the urgent recital in his hand, and said angrily: "The military department is still in the book, the army has been on the march for more than a few months, and so far, only General Luo's army is stationed in Jinling, the border pass, why have the other armies not arrived?" ”

The military department Shangshu said calmly: "Your Majesty, Weichen will send someone to investigate, I believe there will be news soon."

"Report, Your Majesty is in a hurry for six hundred miles."

The emperor opened it and looked at it, and his voice grew from low to high, and gradually roared: "Bastard." The Emperor's face turned red and then blue, his neck swollen as if it was about to explode, and his fists crackled against the hammer on the table.

Prime Minister Feng Ziye saw that the emperor was suddenly furious, and asked anxiously, "What happened to Your Majesty?" ”

Yuan Jie sat on the dragon chair, exhaled deeply, calmed his mood, and said calmly: "The king of Xiliang has rebelled, and he has gathered 100,000 troops in Xiliang. I'm afraid that I will soon lead the army north to attack Chang'an. "Above the court, like a boulder falling into the calm lake, there was an uproar.

"King Xiliang? How so? "The hearts of everyone in the court are full of doubts, how could King Xiliang rebel?

Yelu Churen glanced at Yuan Jie and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if the King of Xiliang rebels, I am afraid that he will soon lead his army north to attack Chang'an, and I hope that Your Majesty will take emergency measures as soon as possible." ”

Yu Chi Yukun said loudly: "Your Majesty, the last general, Yu Chi Yukun, is willing to lead the army to quell the rebellion." ”

The military department Shangshu said worriedly: "Your Majesty, now there are Turks outside, and there are rebels of the King of Xiliang inside, and the minister thinks that he should first settle the inside if he wants to go outside, if the King of Xiliang and the Turks collude with each other, it will be very unfavorable to our Great Yuan." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Nangong's idea, and now only after quelling the rebels, he is starting to quell the foreign strife."

Pei Jiuchuan took the news from the secret agent, walked to the tent anxiously, and said worriedly: "Boss, the big thing is not good, the king of Xiliang has raised the flag and rebelled." ”

Luo Pengfei took the note in Pei Jiuchuan's hand and looked at it, thought about it for a while, and said worriedly: "What should this be?" I wonder if Your Majesty knows? ”

"Boss, the Turkic army has attacked."

With a loud and energetic horn, the Yuan army set out, and the Turkic army was as black as a pine forest.

Suddenly, the Turkic drums and horns sounded, and the banners hunted in the wind. The Turkic cavalry took the lead, while the soldiers of the Chinese army marched forward in orderly steps, shouting "kill" every three steps, and they actually rumbled forward calmly. The terrible sound of bull's horns spread across the plains, and could not be calmed down for a long time, the siege was not met by the roar, and the heavy infantry was also unstoppably arrogant and striking, like a black sea tide sweeping over the ground.

After the Turkic army reached the range of the bow and arrow, Luo Pengfei shouted fiercely: "Release the arrow." The dense rain of arrows was like locusts crossing the border, and the dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!

Iron men struck, dead and unwhirling, hideous faces, bloody swords, low howls, and smoke and dust, and the whole mountain was enveloped and annihilated by the tragic aura of this primitive fight.....

The war continues, the killing continues.

Chen Shaoxuan kicked the corpse at his feet and looked left and right, the brother on the left had an arrow stuck in his right arm, but he slashed desperately with his unskilled left hand, with a hideous face; The brother on the right was red-eyed, roared loudly, and even bled from the corners of his mouth. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, looked up at the moon shining on the red earth, and his heart was full of confusion. This is war. What is always to maintain the peace of the empire is always to be maintained, but how many people have thought about the scene of those new ghosts annoying and old ghosts crying. I'm afraid those dignitaries won't think about it.
