Chapter 62: Marching in the Rain
readx; Li Yuan and Pang De slowly slowed down the speed of the march, stopped twenty miles in the confusion of the soldiers, and entered the hillside and grass one after another, hiding their shapes, only then did they know that there was a battle next, and everyone's hearts were covered with frost. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Li Yuan lay on the grass, leisurely looking at the cloudy night sky, the soldiers saw it, their hearts were a little relieved, and they all felt that this was a relaxed ambush.
"General, the scouts have reported that the rebels have crossed thousands of soldiers."
Li Yuan nodded, then closed his eyes, he felt a little tired, his eyelids were fighting, although the night was a little shady, but he still fell asleep.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had a good night's sleep, and he was fighting for fame and fortune in and out of his dreams, which was disturbing and uneasy.
Dian Wei put the pair of eighty-pound halberds at his feet, and the old man was about to be successful again tonight, and his rough big hand subconsciously stroked the halberd shaft.
I don't know how long it has been, Li Yuan was awakened, and the first thing he felt was a chill, and I don't know when it rained in the sky.
"Why is it raining in this weather?"
Li Yuan raised his head, saw a thin layer of clouds in the sky, sprinkled with scattered raindrops, and knew that this was a short conversation between heaven and earth, and there was no threat to his plan.
"What time is it?" He stood up and looked at the dark west, there was not even a figure, he thought he had only slept for a while.
"It's almost time." Dian Wei also stood up, looking tired.
"What?" I squinted my eyes and slept for an hour and a half. Li Yuan looked left and right, and sure enough, he saw that some soldiers couldn't survive sleepiness, sleeping back to back, shoulder to shoulder.
Li Yuan wiped the rain from his face and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation of the rebels?" ”
"The rebels have already crossed the river, but they don't pursue us, as if they were encamped." Dian Wei hesitated.
The rebels were able to cross the river so quickly, and Li Yuan knew that they were secretly collecting boats, so he set up an ambush, but he didn't chase and kill him, could he see through his plan? Or are you not going to hunt yourself down at all? Hearing Dian Wei's ambiguous answer again, he said unhappily: "What do you mean? Yes yes, no yes no. ”
Dian Wei saw that the eldest brother, who had always been kind and pleasant, was angry with himself, and said a little aggrieved: "This is the information that the scouts heard, why did the eldest brother blame me?" ”
Li Yuan also knew that he had overreacted, but he couldn't apologize, just had a cold face. But after a while, perhaps because of the cool raindrops, he realized that he had changed. He used to say to himself that no matter what the future holds, his character will not change. But at this moment, I am deeply aware of the superficiality of the past. But he knew that the "promise" had not changed, it was there, and it was himself who had changed, so he decided to reflect on it in the future, and not be changed by this era of profit.
"What? Big brother said that you are still wronged? Li Yuan smashed Dian Wei with a fist.
Dian Wei saw his brother's behavior like this, his black face turned red, and he just smiled shyly.
"How long did the scouts leave?" Li Yuan asked.
"A moment ago." Dian Wei thought for a moment.
"Hmm!" Li Yuan was relieved, this scout, a total of nine people, not professional, was improvised by him, requiring them to report every moment, and now the next scout is coming, and the movements of the rebels can be known. If it is really encamped, then the army can only be withdrawn.
He looked at the soldiers in his sight again, and secretly sighed that he was immature in military affairs, not to mention famous generals such as Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, I am afraid that even Dong Zhuo is not much higher than himself.
While he was pondering over his military gains and losses, the scouts came on horseback, and when he approached, without waiting for him to report, he was the first to ask, "What is the movement of the rebels?" ”
"Back to the general, after they crossed the river, they set up camp, and there was no movement to march at all."
Li Yuan laughed at himself when he heard the scout's answer, and sure enough, he thought about the war easily. However, he has no regrets, and by analyzing the reasons for his defeat, his military capabilities can be improved.
"You continue to monitor and report anything at any time." Li Yuan saw the scouts with a tired face, and wanted them all to come back, so they didn't have to monitor, but he suppressed this trace of pity, "It's enough to report once every half an hour." ”
Ci is not in charge of the army, the net worth and life of the three armies are tied to one, how can he be careless.
"Inform Pang De that the rebels will not come, and we will return to Ji County." Although the soldiers are sleepy, it is not a good thing to sleep in the cold rainy night, so it is better to return to Ji County as soon as possible and sleep peacefully.
The army set off again, but the military appearance was unbearable, and only the prestige of the Yangwei battalion did not change, which made Li Yuan very satisfied.
The time had come, and although the rain had stopped, the sky was still gloomy and gloomy, pressing on people's hearts, adding some thoughts to the soldiers who were fighting outside and worried about their wives and children.
Li Yuan was also depressed, and ordered cooking, and the hot things hoped to drive away the haze in everyone's hearts.
But at this time, the autumn wind slowly drifted in, and it seemed to arrive here from a long distance, and the dead branches and leaves raised made people even more disturbed.
Li Yuan had appreciated this kind of scenery before, but at that time he was already alone, and he had no worries, and he still admired this bleak scene, but now it made him extremely tired.
As soon as the soldiers heard about the fire cooking, their faces gradually dissipated, and they each gathered to collect firewood and support the kettle.
This "melancholy cloud" is a symbol of this era, not formed at two ends in three days. Who wants to go to war? They are all forced to take up arms, if you don't fight others, they will come to fight you, and if you are not a soldier, you will not have food.
The smoke gradually drifted away with the wind, and because of the wind, the place where everyone cooked was chosen to be sheltered, and the army dispersed widely.
Li Yuan leaned under a big stone, holding a bowl of gruel, drinking slowly, taking a sip of hot porridge, his body was hot from the inside out, warm.
Dian Wei took half a bowl in one bite, ate three bowls in a blink of an eye, and licked the rice bowl clean every time, this habit made Li Yuan nod silently, what is a bitter background!
Han Yuanyuan came over with a snort, her steps were a little vain, and Li Yuan asked, "What's wrong, Yuanyuan?" ”
"Hey! Are you still in the mood to tease at this time? Han Yuanyuan sat beside him, and now he wanted the sun to come out and shine on him.
"Huh? Are you burned? Li Yuan leaned over and probed his forehead, and it was really hot.
"You can't imagine that this image is actually in my heart, right?" Han Yuanyuan opened her eyelids and smiled weakly.
Li Yuan tightened the robe on his body, it was actually wet, but he didn't pay attention to his armor, and complained: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"What if I say it? Aren't all the soldiers like that? Han Yuanyuan was already complaining when she said this.
Li Yuan didn't care about him, and ordered someone to forcibly feed him a bowl of porridge, and let him sit on the grain cart for a while!
He poured the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth, but he heard the sound of ten thousand horses galloping, he hurriedly looked west, but while he was staring, the autumn wind sent sand into his eyes, but there was a cry of soldiers in his ears: "The rebels are coming!" ”
