Chapter 758: Lonely Night
The clouds were thick and swirling in the whimpering night wind, and in the dim field there were long torches lit up, and among the silhouettes of running figures, from time to time there was a sound of 'Ride! 'Loud and drunk, and ran to the wall ahead.
After the winter, the battle between Dantu and Xuzhou Guangling Pavilion stopped for the time being, Jianye's defense still showed no signs of relaxation, and late at night, there were not many lights in the streets and alleys of the city, a thin face, a general with a thick beard on his chin inspected the city, patted the soldiers standing guard, said a few words, and went to the front.
The light of the torches at the head of the city stretched together, and a crowd of people came over with torches, led by a general named Quan Zong, who arched his hand to Zhu Huan on the opposite side: "Hugh Mu is tired, this second half of the night will be handed over to Zong." ”
"I'll hand it over, please!"
When Quan Zong made a gesture towards him, suddenly a soldier's voice sounded: "Two generals, there are footsteps outside the city." The next moment, before Quan and Zhu could ask, a rocket had already shot out of the city, falling into the darkness with the firelight, and in the wilderness outside the city, a group of soldiers and horses that came along stopped in front of the fire arrow.
The Law of Sighs –
With a high-pitched horse roar, the old man who pulled the reins shouted at the figures looking at the probe: "I am Huang Gai, which general is on duty in the city?" Please also open the city gate for a convenient line! ”
"It turned out to be the old general...... Quan Zong glanced at Zhu Huan next to him, the latter pinched his chin and thick beard, squinted his eyes, and raised his hand to salute: "The old general is also a veteran general in the army, you should know that you don't open the city gate after dark, not to mention that the general is not in Yangxian, and he came here, but there is a token sent by the lord?" ”
Huang Gai turned around the war horse and nodded, it was natural for the other party not to open the city gate at this time, and then the white qi rose from his mouth together: "This is not true, when you see the lord, you can ask for another copy, the two generals will not hesitate, let me enter the city to meet the lord first, and then come to make amends to the two." ”
"That's not going to work...... The lord has an order, this is the time of war, beware of the night to steal the city at night, so the old general should wait until tomorrow daylight to enter the city....."
"Shut up—"
The rising white gas was suddenly scattered by the raised voice, and on the back of the war horse, Huang Gai raised his horsewhip and pointed at the city, "The old man has been in the third term, and he has turned to the north and south in armor, and whenever he takes the lead in the war, how can he become a small man who attacks the city in the mouth of you!" Open the city gate quickly, the old man wants the lord! ”
The old man has been serious and resolute all his life, his temperament is fiery and can't be mixed with gravel, and he is a general from Sun Jian, in terms of qualifications, how can they be offended by these juniors, the two people in the city realized that they had made a slip of the tongue just now, and now the other party is angry again, forcing it too much, which is somewhat bad. Quan Zong pondered for a moment, "First open the city gate and let the old general in, and Hugh Mu sent someone to inform the lord immediately." ”
"Well, that's exactly what I thought." Zhu Huan nodded, turned around and walked to the rear, and waved to the soldiers under the city: "Open the city gate and let the old general in." ”
When Huang Gai heard the reply, he snorted, and turned his head to the soldiers who followed behind him: "The guards will follow, and the rest of the people will stay outside the city and wait for the old man to come back." ”
After speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly, took dozens of guards into the city gate, and after thanking the two generals Quan and Zhu who had gone down the city wall, he rushed straight to the side of the palace.
After three terms of success, Huang Gai is already the oldest and oldest group of people in Jiangdong, and he has watched the descendants of the Sun family grow up little by little, and now occupies the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, the old man's feelings for Sun Ce are different from the current Sun Quan, he almost teaches his own skills in one war after another, just like watching his children grow up a generation of heroes, when there is news of Sun Ce, his heart is indescribably excited.
He hurried for four or five days in a row, just hoping to make peace with this matter, and the old man felt that no matter how much trouble there was at home, they were all brothers, and they could still go back to the past.
Arrived at the door of the mansion, the door had been opened at this time, as if he had received the news, there were already people waiting outside to invite the old man in, through the front yard, the guards in the backyard were not reduced, but it seemed quiet, when they arrived at the study, the servant who led the way bowed down and retreated to the side: "The master's family is in the study to approve official business, and the old general will go in by himself." ”
Here, Huang Gai waved his hand to the guards behind him: "You guys are waiting nearby." With a command, he strode over and pushed open the door, and the wooden door slowly opened in a unique low voice, and the dusk light and the figure of the long case handling official business came into view.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Sun Quan, who was dressed in a robe, stopped his pen and ink and stretched out his hand to the old man who was bypassing Huoding: "The old general is not afraid of the wind and cold when he returns to the city late at night, so take a seat." Then he summoned the servant to pour warm wine.
"Thank you, Lord."
Huang Gai took the bronze jue handed over, and after the servant bowed down and closed the door, he put down the wine and arched his hand: "Lord, you should also pay attention to your body when you are busy with official business, how can you handle all the affairs of Jiangdong by yourself, otherwise Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others should play the board." ”
On the other side, Sun Quan tightened the robe on his shoulders with a smile, his purple hair was still stained with a little wine droplets, and he raised his hand to ask him not to be polite, "Quan doesn't have the talent of his father and brother, so he has to work hard day and night to be worthy of the foundation left by his father and brother, and it is better than losing in his hands, otherwise it will be difficult to see them in the future under Jiuquan." ”
However, the old man in the seat did not answer, but just looked at the flames burning in the ding wordlessly.
After a while, Huang Gai took a breath, and then turned his gaze to the first purple-haired and blue-eyed figure, and opened his mouth first.
"Gai studied these battles when he was in Yangxian, and accidentally found that the other party was quite familiar with the tactics of water warfare, and several of them were arranged in my hands, and Gai thought that the other party should be a person from Jiangdong."
The hand that was pouring wine stopped, Sun Quan raised his gaze and focused on the old man who was looking over, looked at him for a moment, suddenly nodded with a solemn face, and slowly got up: "When the old general said this, Quan was really a little surprised, in this case, who learned the old general's art of war?" ”
"There will be no one else, only Jiangdong Sun Bofu." Huang Gai said so, looked at Sun Quan, who got up and walked out of the long case, and also stood up, but his tone was gentle and gentle: "Lord..... you and Bo Fu are brothers after all, no matter how big the contradiction is, there will be a time when the conflict is solved, between brothers, at most, there will be a fight, how can there be a grudge that cannot be resolved, not to mention that you have no grudge at all." ”
Sun Quan stopped in front of Huoding, pursed his lips, and lowered his eyes a little evasively: "It turns out that the old general ..... already knows, Quan and his brother do have no grudges, but the old general can't understand the things in the middle, and I also know that I have done something wrong, but when I think of my brother coming back from the west, I, as a younger brother, will make trouble for him in the back, and I feel a little guilty in my heart, and I dare not face him......"
"Lord, these are all things that you are doing with your guilt as a younger brother, in fact, in the final analysis, they are all trivial matters, and Gai doesn't believe that Bo Fu will embarrass the lord for this little thing." The old man took two steps and came to the opposite side, with a smile on his face, and looked at Sun Quan with a kind look, "Two brothers, as long as the matter is said, it can always be resolved, and Bo Fu is probably also homesick, so ......"
The light of dusk flickered on the old man's smiling face, and after a pause, he arched his hand: "...... Gai will go to Dantu, and while there is no war yet, cross the river to see Bo Fu in person, and explain the matter clearly, if he is embarrassed to come back, Gai will resist him even if he resists, and let you two brothers lock up in the house and explain things clearly, how about it?" ”
In the room, the burning fire was like a wall between the two, Sun Quan and the smiling old man looked at each other for a while, nodded with red eyes, and bowed down.
"In this way..... Quan thanked the old general for fulfilling my brotherhood."
……
The night wind howled under the eaves, and the old man with a red face and a smile came out of the house satisfied, and left with his personal guards. The door behind him slowly closed, and Sun Quan in the gap looked at the weapons hanging on the wall for a while.
Soon, the burly and sturdy Zhou Tai walked in in armor and stood silently at the door.
"In the previous words, Huang Gongbi was vaguely suspected of defecting to the enemy, early tomorrow morning, you take someone to follow, see where he goes, if he goes to the other side of the river........"
Sun Quan closed his gaze, tilted his head and closed his eyes.
“.…… and killed him. ”
The flickering flames flickered on the side of his face.
