Chapter 29: The Battle of Gwangjong (4)
In the still dim back hall, an old man in a green shirt next to a low bed was holding Taishi Gong's book and reading silently in front of the oil lamp. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old man was tall and gray, and looked like he was over the age of six. But if you look closely, its face is thin and has a breathing spirit. When the eyes open and close, they only shine like a little cold star.
Watching the old man read, it is as if the master is reviewing the students' articles, calm, atmospheric, and confident, so that he points out the country! In a trance, Ma Xiu felt that this was his previous life, and he was holding his homework and waiting for the teacher to review it.
Every breath of the old man can make his heart beat unnaturally faster. When the old man's thick knuckles rubbed the paper in his hand, it came out:
Rustling...
Rustling...
At the sound of the sound, Matthew felt that it seemed to be the sound of the ice blade plowing his own flesh.
But there is no pain, only coldness!
Suddenly:
The oil lamp on Hu's bed came with the sound of sparks burning out the wick.
The light in the room is swaying.
Laugh at~
Matthew suddenly became alert, and it seemed that he had stepped into the door of death!
Lu Zhi, as a Confucian and high-ranking official from Youyan, and a general who led troops outside, it was impossible for him not to care about his hometown Zhuojun, where the yellow turbans were raging at this time.
That is to say, he was in the Taishou Mansion before, and it is very likely that Lu Zhi already knew everything clearly, and even as one of the few cadres in the current Han Dynasty who has heavy troops, he may have a higher understanding of those things than those upper-class nobles in Youzhou.
Then the question is, as a great Confucian who has studied Confucianism deeply and has engraved the idea of loyalty and filial piety almost in his bone marrow, he will deal with this matter.
As a loyal minister and filial son, Lu Zhi should correct Ma Xiu on the spot at this time. But thinking about it the other way, as a leading general, he cut the general before the battle, and it was the local reinforcements that were killed. It is impossible for Lu Zhi to commit this kind of taboo in soldiers. After all, the big war is imminent, and the nerves of every soldier under him are tense, and once there is a wind and grass that they can't understand, they don't need to open their horns to attack at that time, and hundreds of thousands of troops will mutini in an instant. After all, before that, Lu Zhi was a Guangzong who retreated all the way to Guangzong.
Lu Zhi, who was reflected in the flickering firelight, frowned, and a member of the Ming Kai generals standing by the bed under the window hurriedly walked forward, flicked his index finger, and a strong wind flew by, and the burning wick broke in response.
A little episode didn't seem to affect Lu Zhi's interest in reading the book, I saw him staring at the scroll with both eyes, and his left hand kept rubbing the pages, as if he was silently chanting and thinking.
In short, at this time, the feeling to Ma Xiu is that he is not like he is in a military village, he is fighting.
"Damn, what the hell does this old man want to do" Matthew moved his legs, which were already a little numb, and since he came in, the guards who led him the way withdrew silently. Leaving him alone, he didn't know what to do.
"Big ....."
Well~
“.... people...."
Matthew opened his mouth, wanting to take the initiative to break the silence, but he just whispered a word. I felt two golden rays of light pierce my eyes, and then my head went blank. The latter word was swallowed back into his stomach raw.
"His grandmother's, what kind of people are Lu Zhi around him, how can one be more perverted than the other. Just now, he just glanced up at the general beside Lu Zhi, and was almost broken through by the sharp blade-like aura on that person's body. ”
Ma Xiu knew that he could not be presumptuous here, so he quickly lowered his head again and quietly waited for Lu Zhi's decision. He knew that Lu Zhi would not treat him well, but would reuse him on the contrary.
It's very simple, it's too easy to kill him, since he entered Guangzong City, he has become a piece of meat on a chopping block, and even killing him only needs a pawn, why bother with today's big battle. And if you want to let it go, you won't waste so much time on him Matthew. The big war is coming, and Lu Zhi will definitely not be as idle as he appears.
After thinking about this, and then looking at Lu Zhi's posture, I wanted to laugh a little, Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan must have no one available at this time, and they were defeated several times before, and more than half of the officers and soldiers under him were lost, and the reinforcements from the counties that he relied on his deep background and prestige were mixed. Some even sent him some old, weak, sick and disabled people in order to preserve their strength. At this time, Lu Zigan needs a few provoking leaders in the reinforcements to come to a few exciting battles, in order to revive the prestige of the official army, stifle the offensive of the Yellow Turban, and give his own officers and troops and the surrounding counties to guard too much, so that the princes in power in the court can be destroyed with a yellow scarf, and Lu Zhi's confidence in the future!
Alas!
Lu Zhi seemed to think of this, his hands holding the book were a little trembling, his eyes kept shaking, the fire shone out, and a few faint old tears soaked his eyes.
"Your Excellency!"
General Ming Kai, holding the candlestick, covered the side with his hand and gently pinched his footsteps to the front:
"The lights are dim, and the adults have been watching for a long time, so they should take a break so as not to hurt their eyes."
Lu Zhi turned sideways, tried to close his eyes, cleared his cloudy eyeballs with almost dry tears, and sighed silently in his heart: "The war is difficult, how difficult the country is..."
glanced at Ma Xiu, who looked down and looked like a good baby, and walked straight to Hu's bed and knelt down and sat down:
"Ma Zishuo"
"No!"
