Chapter 688: The Way Home (I)
After autumn, the north was all yellow and pale gray, and the army continued to march eastward, with supplies and scouts galloping from city to city. Gongsun Zhi handed over the power of the generals to Hua Xiong and Lu Bu to take over temporarily, and left with three hundred guards and wolf horses.
Lu Lingqi carried the horse side by side with her father, looking at the departing team, "Dad, do you see the look of the Gongsun Dudu?" The eyebrows are different from usual......"
"In fact, every man is the same, what is superficial is just being strong or cowardly." Lu Bu was no longer wearing a golden crown that tied his hair, he simply tied up his hair, and the white traces were more conspicuous, he looked at the team calmly, and smiled: "Don't talk about ....., you haven't been home for seven years, and now your mother and brother should be in a hurry, let's go." β
Prevailing.
In the faint light of the day, the wind on the face had chilled, the four hills stood quietly in the place they once remembered, and the charred trees stood on the cliffs as before, as if they were looking at a group of people on horseback below. Gongsun Zhi raised his head and glanced at the hill where the fire had once been ignited, and then asked the cavalry behind him to stop and wait.
"Lao Gao, you go in with me."
The sun is sloping, there is not much temperature, approaching the hills, the ground is full of withered yellow fallen leaves, and the feet are rustling on it, after the death of the sour Confucian, Gongsun Zhi has been here once, and now it has been many years, the bare hills that have been burned by the fire are full of trees, and occasionally the fingers touch the cold rock wall, as if in this moment I heard the voices of many people in the past, and the cheerful and noisy sounded in the ears.
"The leader is backβ"
"..... should have killed those bastards!"
"Xianbei is still alive?"
"Chief, I'll ride a horse!"
The wind blows through the woods, the trees shake gently, making a swaying sound, the faint sound stops abruptly, the swaying woods under the sun, the gap of longing, the light spots cast in the valley shine into the pool, a sparkling, the air flow distorts the light dust, the once thin, familiar figure wears a shabby scholar's robe, standing there with a smile: "The leader straddles the horse and holds the knife, and the family business is guarded for you......"
"Chieftain ..... Chieftain ....."
A rough voice sounded behind him, and Gao Sheng saw that Gongsun Zhi was motionless and looked ahead, and approached with some worry, and called twice.
"It's fine."
Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and replied softly, and then looked over there, the water was still sparkling, and the light spots were gently swaying on the ground with the wind and branches, and there was no sour figure. He put down his hand and walked forward, walking through the place where the battle had been fought, and walking halfway up the mountain, the road here was covered with weeds, but he would not forget the location of the wolf's den.
A few small trees had grown from the entrance of the cave where the two of them could pass, and the entrance to the cave was still there, and when I walked inside, the rough stone steps were covered with dust, and in the stone hall, the fragments of the clay pot were scattered everywhere, and the first stone seat had become dilapidated, and the carved handrail was broken, and there were many traces on it.
Many places were covered with cobwebs, and occasionally a snake could be seen sliding past the feet of the two men, and after thinking that no one lived there, it became the dwelling place of other creatures. Gao Sheng swept away a few reptiles with a torch and followed him into another stone cave, "There is the stone room where Sour Ru used to sit, Lao Gao still remembers." β
"He's resting in there now, too." Gongsun Zhi said softly, walked through the collapsed wooden door, and entered inside. The light of the torches pushed away the darkness, and the scene in the stone room was reflected in the dim light of the fire, and the wooden couch that had been placed there was gone, but a high pile of rubble, lonely.
When Gao Sheng planted the torch on the nearby stone wall, Gongsun Zhi took off the iron helmet, put it aside, and sat down on the ground in front of the piled grave.
"Sour Ru, I haven't come to see you for a long time, and I didn't pass by here when I went on the expedition, and I didn't have time to tell you, it shouldn't be too late now, you see, I brought Lao Gao with me."
He didn't see any expression on his face, he just sat there calmly facing the grave, so that Gao Sheng didn't know what to do, so he sat down next to him, and after a while, Gongsun Zhi smiled suddenly: "...... Sour Confucian, tell me good news, we have won the victory, and we have killed all the way, the idiots in the Western Regions who are doing their own thing, they don't even have the strength to parry, Dawan also killed it by surprise, and took it directly, and rest in peace, but this is the most tricky, or the emperor of the Great Qin people, he is a hero, It's a pity that I'm too old, and my energy can't survive after all...... Also dead. β
"But ..... we've also killed a lot of people."
The hand on his knee was clenched into a fist, the smooth timbre, a little fluctuation, Gongsun Zhi closed his eyes in pain, and the enemy rushed over like a tide, and thousands of Han men beside him rode war horses, or galloped on foot and wielded spears and iron swords, and pounced on the enemy in front of him.
"Big man! Mightyβ"
"Kill!"
Hysterical shouts resounded in everything.
β¦β¦.
Xuchang in the Central Plains, dust and smoke such as a long dragon dance, high city wall, Cao Cao regardless of the guards to support, quickly climbed up, looked at the cavalry back, eyes have been a little moist, soon, riding out of the city gate, far away to meet the returning tiger and leopard horse, more than 3,000 people went out, now only 1,200 people returned.
The broken Han Banner and Cao Qi were swaying in the wind, and more than 1,000 horsemen dismounted and shouted: "We will not dishonor the king's order, and the enemy will ask for it even if it is far away." β
Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, walked slowly past, and walked among the cavalrymen with their heads held high, his drowsy eyes were mottled with knife marks, his fingertips caressed the sunken armor, and ...... The ash altar hanging from their waists, pursed their lips, and their gray heads nodded lightly, "Haven't you fallen into the prestige of my Han people?" β
"No!" 1,200 voices converged.
In the distance, the troops who followed out were all stopped in shock. Cao Cao walked out of the military formation and stretched out his hand to the person opposite, "Bring the wine-"
When the cart came with the jar of wine and distributed it to everyone. Cao Cao walked to the front, faced this warrior of a hundred battles, held up the wine lord, and his voice was high-pitched: "The foreign thief is in the north of my Han Dynasty, kill my brothers and sisters, and the kings will go on an expedition to ask for it, and pour this wine, celebrate the triumph of the kings, and drink to winββ"
"-Drink wins!"
β¦β¦.
"Many people can't come back, so they can only bring back their bones, and some people can't even find their bones in the end. The winter in the west is sometimes colder than on the grassland, covered with heavy snow, almost difficult to walk, even during the day, snowflakes can also obscure the sight, a white expanse, can not distinguish between east and west, north and south....... this battle has been fought for seven years, it is really not easy. β
"And the woman Stephanie...... She was still caught by you, and now she has given birth to a son for me, very good, blonde hair and black eyes, quite strong, and she will definitely be good-looking and tall in the future, but it's a pity that the woman is too paranoid...... I killed her. β
Gongsun Zhi's eyes did not blink, he looked at the grave and laughed 'haha', there were tears faintly in the laughter, his hands slapped on the ground, and his voice was a little hoarse and distorted: "...... Do you think she's a little stupid, why can't she see that I won't allow anyone other than my son to become the king of Germania when I come....... why doesn't she put a little more heart into Dimat, like this...... I wouldn't be as uncomfortable as I am now...... Sour Confucian..... I'm also a human being, and my heart is also fleshy, so it's uncomfortable. β
In the dim light, tears flowed out, he opened his mouth and choked slightly, and in a moment, the fist made into his knee slammed into the ground, and the nail leaf covering his finger made a striking sound.
"...... but I can only cry in front of you."
