Chapter 83 A generation of heroes will show their prestige and fame, and the old and disabled body will miss their home and country
Killing the stubborn enemy in front of him, Shi Yanchao didn't have time to wipe the blood on his face, the shield in his left hand and the knife in his right hand habitually ran forward two steps, but he suddenly found that there was no enemy standing in front of him, he was slightly stunned, looked left and right, but there was only a corpse and the streets and alleys in the blood and fire.
The enemy has been killed.
Shi Yanchao rushed to the battlefield as a trapper, but when he swung his sword into the enemy formation, the thief army had already begun to retreat, and his comrades were attacking the city in a big way, and he and the Wuxin army led by him also lost the role of traps.
After receiving a military order, the marshal divided Chengdu City into several districts, and Wu Xinjun was ordered to clean up the stubborn enemy in one area of Nancheng.
There are many thieves hidden in the streets and alleys, and a batch of them emerges after killing, some of the thieves have already lost their eyes after burning and looting, and they have lost their minds, and they have forgotten to surrender when they see the soldiers of the Wang Division, and they only know that they pounce and bite like beasts, in this case, Wu Xinjun fought almost all night, whenever Shi Yanchao killed a group of thieves, thinking that there would be no more war, the horn sounded again.
Shi Yanchao even couldn't understand why there were so many thieves who came up to fight with them after Wang Shi announced the military order that those who surrendered would not be killed. Shi Yanchao only knew that Chengdu City was completely in chaos.
He didn't know that those thieves were also Wang Shi a few years ago, and they were also the party of Shu.
It's just that at that time, Guo Chongtao was unjustly killed, and the resentment in the hearts of these soldiers was instigated by Meng Zhixiang, Li Renhan and others for several years, and the seeds of hatred for the court planted in their hearts had already taken root and sprouted, and they had already completely placed themselves on the opposite side of the court, and from the bottom of their hearts they thought that the court was stupid and unfair.
Therefore, they fought fiercely with Wang Shi and rarely surrendered, and after Chengdu was breached, they would rather become the burial companions of Meng Zhixiang's shattered dream.
When the belief in their hearts and the dream of defending it are shattered, they would rather exile their bestiality and end their lives after venting than survive.
When the armor soldiers who appeared in front were not thieves but comrades, Shi Yanchao knew that the war was finally over, and he looked up at the gray sky, which was the time when the Heavenly General Buddha was dawning but not dawning.
The burning sensation from the wound was painful, Shi Yanchao threw the shield and horizontal knife at his feet, sat on the ground, and began to deal with his injuries.
Before dawn, before night, I was on the battlefield that survived.
When resting with his head against the wall, Shi Yanchao, who was extremely tired, laughed out loud for no reason.
The war was finally won, and when he returned to Suizhou in the coming days, he was now in the army and had enough power to take his mother and sister over.
They no longer have to suffer in the mountains, no longer have to worry about hunger, as long as they work harder, they can enjoy the glory and wealth of the younger sister is not young, you have to save a thick dowry for him, so that he can marry a good family in the future, the mother's body is weak, as soon as it comes to the autumn and winter, he will be sick, and his body is sore, and he should find a good doctor in the future to have a good life, and it is best to be cured
Shi Yanchao, who was fighting with his eyelids, untied his pocket, wiped a handful of blood and sweat from his face, and fell asleep against the cold wall with scars. He may have dreamed of the family he had missed for a long time, and there was always a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.
When Shi Yanchao was woken up by his companions, it was almost noon, and the tired body was uncomfortable to move, but Shi Yanchao almost jumped up, grabbed the hood and quickly put it on, and stood straight with his head held high.
He saw the big handsome man coming from the other side of the street.
All his comrades around him, like him, spontaneously stood on both sides of the street, consciously or unconsciously erecting their bodies like a javelin.
Li Congjing rode through here with a group of guards, he did not come here to comfort Wu Xinjun, so he did not stop and dismount, and rode his horse in the attention of the soldiers.
From the moment Li Congjing appeared, Shi Yanchao didn't squint - of course he couldn't look directly at Li Congjing, whether it was out of courtesy or out of awe of Li Congjing, he couldn't do it. It wasn't until Li Congjing passed in front of him that his gaze moved with the other party's tall horse, staring at the back of the majestic man for a long time.
It was this King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty who gave him such a place as the Yanwu Academy, and it was the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses who opened the battle at the most difficult time of the war in Suizhou, so that he did not die on the battlefield when he ran out of ammunition and food, and it was this young but white-haired immortal talent that allowed him to make countless military exploits in the invincible trend of the Wang Division.
Shi Yanchao knew that almost all of his qiē came from the other party's gifts, so he respected this handsome man like a god.
Just like those Wang Shi soldiers were in awe of Guo Chongtao a few years ago, and even surpassed it.
Li Congjing and his entourage galloped across the street, Shi Yanchao and others withdrew the welcome formation, he packed up his shield, horizontal knife, and prepared to find Xia Luqi, at this moment, one of the galloping cavalry suddenly turned back, came to Shi Yanchao, the cavalry looked at him on horseback, and ordered: "The commander summons, come with me!" ”
Shi Yanchao didn't expect Li Congjing to summon him, so he was excited, and hurriedly led his horse to follow the cavalryman.
"What is the origin of this Shi Yanchao, how could the big marshal specially summon him?" After Shi Yanchao left, the soldiers of the Wuxin Army talked a lot.
"People don't need to come back, just the military exploits they have made are enough to attract the attention of the marshal!" An old soldier with a high status glanced at his comrade beside him, "Don't be red, if you can also make enough military achievements, the commander will summon you, this has long been a common practice." ”
Shi Yanchao was about to look for Xia Ruqi, but he didn't know when he had followed Li Congjing, Shi Yanchao followed and asked Xia Ruqi why Li Congjing saw him, but he didn't expect Xia Ruqi to glare at him.
The destination of Li Congjing's trip was the city wall, he came to inspect the damage to the city defense, and when he dismounted and walked on the road, he called Shi Yanchao to come with him.
"When I saw you at the mountain gate of Yanwuyuan in the second year of Tiancheng, you were just a reckless country boy, fighting with Shi Chonggui and Fu Yanlin, but now only two years later, you have become a member of the Tang Dynasty and have become famous in the army." With a smile on his face, Li Congjing walked up the steps to the city wall in front, and Shi Yanchao followed behind him, receiving praise, and his face turned slightly red.
"Thank you for your appreciation, I dare not be ashamed." Although Shi Yanchao is no longer the wooden boy he was at the beginning, he is still not good at words, so he can only respond with a red face and fists.
"The war in Shuzhong is over, you don't have to go back to Suizhou, go back to Luoyang with Ben Shuai, how about it?" After the initial cleaning of the battlefield on the city wall, the flesh and blood are no longer blurred, but the scars of the war are still clear, Li Congjing looked around, suddenly stopped and looked at Shi Yanchao and said.
Shi Yanchao didn't expect Li Congjing to come to him for this reason, and the sudden surprise made him feel at a loss, and he couldn't help but look at Xia Ruqi.
Xia Luqi said to Li Congjing with a dark face: "Wu Xinjun finally came up with such a brave one, the last general's hand has not yet covered the heat, and the marshal is about to rob it, which is inevitably a little unkind." ”
Li Congjing laughed, "Old general, Shi Yanchao is a good seedling, not something that can be accommodated by one city and one place, why don't you look away?" ”
What he said was good, when Zhou Shizong was Rong, Shi Yanchao was the first brave general he relied on, and he broke the army and pulled out the city easily, when Zhao Kuangyin had not yet shown his edge, Shi Yanchao was almost the first general of the Later Zhou - but unfortunately he died earlier.
"The general will not accept the words of the marshal, although the temple of Wuxin Army is small, but this time he will go back to the end of the general is ready to promote Shi Yanchao to the commander of the horse army, and bring out an elite army for the Tang Dynasty, which is enough for him to toss for a few years." Charucci was unwilling to back down.
Li Congjing shook his head a little helplessly, and said with a smile: "Old general, old general, don't think that this commander doesn't know what you're thinking, are you worried that Shi Yanchao won't be reused if he goes to the forbidden army?" Don't worry, since the old general has even taken out the official position of the commander of a town to scare Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai will not treat him badly! ”
Xia Luqi snorted sulkingly, and seeing that Shi Yanchao was still dumbfounded, he kicked his ass in annoyance, "Don't thank you for being handsome?" ”
"Xie Dashuai!" Shi Yanchao hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said to Xia Luqi: "General Xie!" ”
Charucci looked up at the sky with an expression of being out of sight and out of mind.
"The two rivers have changed, old general." Li Congjing stroked the knife marks on the wall buttress with his hand and sighed, "Four years ago, Liangchuan should have become the grain depot and money bank of the Tang Dynasty, but unexpectedly, there were chaotic ministers and thieves such as Meng Zhixiang and Li Shaobin, who caused chaos and lost money and money. Old general, now that the imperial court has set two rivers, you say, how long is there to go for the revival of the Tang Dynasty? ”
Xia Luqi put away his sulking look and said sincerely: "With a generation of virtuous kings like Majesty Xià and Dashuai, why can't the prosperous Tang Dynasty reappear?" The handsome man has a fist in his heart, just don't worry too much. ”
Li Congjing smiled, "The old general praised it falsely. It's just that every time Ben Shuai thinks of the exploits of Gaozu Taizong, and then looks at the current Kyushu, he can't help but be earnest. The prosperity of the dynasty is inseparable from talents, and the twenty-four virtuous ministers of Lingyan Pavilion are in front of Zhuyu, how can my generation not try their best to promote talents for the country? How far Shi Yanchao can go depends on himself, the old general is in his prime, and he should also make meritorious contributions to the empire and set an example for future generations. ”
"The country is driven, why should the last general care the old and crippled body?" Charucci bowed his head and bowed again, his old eyes moist and hot.
Li Congjing turned around and saluted seriously, "Hard work old general." ”
Perhaps many years later, some people will still remember this scene that marked the beginning of a good story of a wise man and a virtuous minister.
