I said, "Just looking at the back of King Han leaving, I remembered something. ”

I said, "Many years ago, the general and my father went to meet your brother in Dongcheng, and when he came back, he told me that the weakest part of the defense of Dongcheng was not the east gate, but the north gate. He said that although the north gate was recently built, it was the deepest, widest and stronger, but the foundation under the gate was the softest. To break the city, you can use the dense volley of siege towers to form protection, and then send troops to dig a deep tunnel under the moat to the north of the city, dig a huge crater, fill it with gunpowder, and blow open the city gates. ”

I said, "At that time, the general told me that I could concentrate all the arrow towers and carts, make a strong feint to attack the other gates, attract the attention of the enemy, and at the same time, after nightfall, send troops to secretly dig the passage to the northern city. He said that this kind of breach of the city is the fastest and the least casualty. ”

Liu Shen looked at me, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Did the general say that back then? ”

I said, "Yes." When he came back from the city, I asked him what kind of place it was, and he said these things. ”

Liu Shen said: "Are you sure that you are not mistaken? ”

I nodded, and I said, "Qin'er is very convinced, and I am not mistaken. I was surprised that he would answer my question from this angle, so I was surprised and remembered everything he said. ”

Liu Shen said: "What else did he tell you at that time? ”

I replied, "At that time, he said that he had to build an arrow tower to shoot arrows from a high place to suppress the defenders at the head of the city, and that after the city was broken, he would have to go through fierce street battles to get close to the royal city. He said that the north city gate was the closest city gate to the royal city, and the violent explosion under the north city gate could not only send the entire city gate into the air, but also tear a crack in the wall of the royal city, so as to facilitate the long drive of the siege troops into the city. ”

I said, "King Han." Chen Shouye may still have underestimated the severity of the battle. He may not have enough arrows and crossbows to prepare. The general once said that at least 800,000 arrows are needed, and even, it is necessary to collect all the iron tools in the country to smelt arrows, and the battle of Dongcheng can be expected to succeed in the first battle! ”

Liu Shen suddenly stretched out his arm and hugged me tightly.

He said, "Jean." Qin'er, you are really my lucky star! It was my father who was specially chosen in heaven to help me accomplish the great cause of unification! Okay, I'll send Xu Zaitian to do this right away, even if I melt all the iron tools in the country, I must ensure the supply of arrows to the battlefield. I will also explain all other things to them, and do them one by one according to the instructions of the general. ”

I hesitated, "However, Jean is not sure if this is appropriate." ”

I said, "King Han and the Great General obviously spent Chinese New Year's Eve together." He had held a meeting in Huanglong for so many days before, why didn't the general tell Han Wang Chen about the siege strategy before his death? Qin'er is worried that the current war situation and city defense situation have changed greatly, and the method he said at that time may no longer be appropriate? ”

Liu Shen shook his head. He said, "You don't know, but he said to me at that time that he had not kept his father's will and had not chosen the king to whom his father was loyal as a son. It is a great unfilial piety, and it is difficult to see his father underground after death. ”

Liu Shen said: "He said. Sometimes it is difficult to do the right thing in the world and be filial to your father. He said that as soon as the city was broken, the monarch to whom his father was loyal would no longer be a monarch. He begged me to allow him not to participate in the battle of the city, nor to make plans for the siege. He said. This battle is a war between me and my brother, and I should settle it myself. He said it was his last and almost only filial piety to his father. ”

I was stunned. It turned out that day. When you came back from the city with my father, you didn't answer me like that on a whim, and you didn't say it casually.

It turns out that you deliberately meant to say this to me that day.

On the day I went home, you not only gave me a bouquet of colorful wildflowers, but also gave me the key to the end of the world and the opening of the peace.

Because I hold this key, my value in troubled times is even more different. Even if I can't be with you, the key I have, this value, is enough for me to exchange for an honorable position and a prosperous and healthy life.

It turns out that you have already handed over to me the last gift you gave Liu Shen and us today.

Just when I was shocked by your plan so far-reaching, Liu Shen hugged me tightly again.

He said, "Qin'er, thank you so much!" You are also a great hero in this battle! ”

He said, "When I return from victory, I will thank you on behalf of the new country!" ”

From then on, for days after that day, I was in shock.

That day, I was in shock, and even when Liu Shen left me and how he left, I have no memory at all in hindsight.

The decisive battle of Dongcheng was an important battle that Liu Shen personally commanded in his life. In this battle, he showed bravery, determination, foresight and insight, which convinced the Han army. He fully exhibited all the good qualities that a founding monarch of a new nation should have.

Although his life was recorded in history as benevolent and virtuous, he was supported and loved by the Han army throughout his life, and his prestige in the army never wavered.

Liu Shen stood in front of the Taihe main hall in full armor.

He faced the incomparably powerful Northern Han New Army that you forged with your life.

He faced a crowd of black, a forest of shining armor and swords and guns.

He drew his saber from his waist.

He raised the sword in his hand and said loudly: "The wish of the great general in his life is to eliminate the war and restore the people of the world to a peaceful life." The best thing for the generals of our army is to persevere and work hard to fulfill his last wish! ”

Liu Shen said loudly: "Han army soldiers! The time for the decisive battle has arrived. The overall situation of the world, fight here! Follow me! Go conquer the city! To unify the world! Go and start a new dynasty of peace! Let's go and end the war on the Southern Front! ”

The Han army array erupted in a resounding response: "Unify the world!" Turn on the peace! Long live King Han! Long live the new dynasty! ”

In the entire Yunjing City, from the palace attendants of Shangyang Palace, where Concubine Wang Taishu lived, to the streets and markets, the peddlers and pawns, people held their breath and listened to this earth-shaking sound.

In an atmosphere of grief, all the vegetarian Han troops, led by Liu Shen himself, rushed to the southern front and attacked the city surrounded on all sides.

Concubine Wang and I stood side by side on the top floor of Wenyuan Pavilion, our hands clasped tightly, and we watched as this white army continued to rush out of the south gate of Yunjing like a raging tide of the Qiantang River.

Just as you left me and entered the final war through the north gate, now, it is my husband's turn, and he also left me, leaving us through the south gate and entering the final war.

In order to do the right thing, even the unforgettable deep love, he does not hesitate to sacrifice categorically, this is a man.

In that ancient world, in my mind at that time, only such a person was worthy of being called a man.

And, in order to do the right thing, even the deep love of such a heroic man, a woman who can give up can be worthy of being loved by such a man.

Love is sacrifice.

To love is to endure sacrifice. (To be continued.) )
