Chapter 167: The Dead City (1)
Captured for a month, he was finally released by Wang Shen today. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info thought of his mother who had not seen him for a long time, and thought of his sisters, Kong Xian was happy and worried.
In this troubled era, once the future heir of an army like himself, the leading general, is captured alive by the enemy, it is a habitable wonder, and it is basically impossible to return home safely.
Thinking about it, my mother should think so, she doesn't know what she will cry like in this month, whether the wrinkles on her face have increased a lot, and she is the only hope for the rest of her life!
Suddenly, Kong Xian's heart ached, and the wine woke up a lot.
During this month, Kong Xian not only did not receive any abuse, but was quite courteous. Today, when he was released, he not only gave a large number of gifts, but also sent four cavalry escorts.
Wang Daosi, a true benevolent and righteous gentleman!
The leader of the team, Yu Hou, whose surname was Fang Rong, was short and small, and his face was red from the sun. With rough skin and thick calluses on his hands, he looks like an honest farmer.
At the beginning, Kong Xian was still a little contemptuous. But as soon as this Fang Yuhou opened his mouth, he was taken aback.
This person talks elegantly, and when he hears it, he is not an ordinary person. When he speaks, he also quotes scriptures, showing a deep foundation in scripture.
Curiosity together, negotiated a few words, and learned that he was a student of Nanjing Yingtianfu. The country was ruined, and then he put pen to paper.
Kong Xian sighed in his heart, he is really a moral man, if it is a peaceful time, maybe he will be admitted to the Jinshi as an official now, but the world has forced him to pick up the sword and fight. He already had a strong interest in reading, so he discussed his knowledge with Fang Irong all the way, and after talking for a long time, the two of them felt that they hated each other.
Fang Irong smiled and said, "Boyuan, the dignified young general, went home today, but he was holding a dustpan in his hand? ”
It turned out that Kong Xian didn't pay attention to anything else when he was packing up before, but he couldn't let go of his new sprouts, so after thinking about it, he brought the flat sprouts with him.
Hearing Fang Irong say, he was a little shy: "The plaything is demoralized, the plaything is demoralized, it's a joke for Brother Fang." "He will be thrown to the ground.
Fang Wurong grabbed him and said, "Let's keep it, people always have some hobbies in life, and they can have a good time on this day." It can be seen that Bo Yuan is interested in farming, which is a good thing. For example, I also have a hobby that is not humane. ”
Kong Xian: "Hobbies? ”
Fang Wurong: "I was born in a peasant family, and I also worked in the fields every day when I was a teenager. The villagers in our place like to play with money on weekdays, and I also stuck to this problem, throwing dice, fighting cocks, fighting and weaving everything, and I was severely scolded by my family. Later, when I grew up, the money was no longer gambling, but I would still raise a few to promote weaving and play. ”
After that, he took out a cricket cage made of silver wire from his bosom, and said with a look of pity: "My allowance in the past few months or the rewards I received after meritorious service have all been used on this. This person's hobbies are varied, some people like money, sex, some people like weaving, some people like reading, some people like Gu Dong Jinshi, Bo Yuan, you like farming and it doesn't matter. You might as well keep this sprout, maybe you can use it when you go back to the city. ”
"The sprouts are used to eat, how can they be used when they go back to the city?" Kong Xian looked puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, Fang Irong smiled and didn't answer.
As they spoke, the team had already walked into the Qishui River.
In less than a month, the water in the river was completely invisible, and large pebbles that had been whitened by the sun were exposed in the riverbed.
Everywhere there were fallen broken siege machines, and in many places there were large piles of ashes. Looking at the ground again, there were large black marks everywhere.
Once they got closer, the black "boom" flew up, and it turned out to be thousands of flies.
There was no wind, and the hot air seemed to freeze, and a strong fishy stench floated around me. Don't do it, it's the smell of dead rot. Although the bodies had been removed and buried deeply, they still stinked terribly.
From time to time, a piece of white Sensen's bone appeared in the dry mud at the bottom of the pebble, and it was not known which part of the human body it belonged to.
One can imagine how fierce the fighting has been this month, and how heavy the casualties have been.
Fang Wurong, who had been talking and laughing before, was silent, and the horse's hooves sounded crisply, falling to the ground, raising dust.
Qi Chuncheng on the opposite side seemed to be overwhelmed by the heat, and he couldn't hear any sound quietly.
The closer you get to the walls, the stronger the stench becomes, making it impossible to breathe. There are also more flies, which keep falling on people's heads and faces, and they are inexhaustible and annoying.
Suddenly, a terrible shout sounded on the city wall: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, the devil of the Sizhou army has been killed!" ”
Then there was the sound of panicked gongs and drums, and immediately a bunch of soldiers stood up on the city wall, which had been dead and there was no single figure in sight, and they squeezed to the battlements with their weapons in a haphazard manner, waving them indiscriminately.
Suddenly, the fire used to make the golden soup was lit, and thick smoke rose straight into the sky, condensing but not dissipating.
"Boom" The huge sound of wind came, and a huge crossbow arrow of a three-bow bed crossbow shot over, startling Kong Xian to shrink his head behind his horse.
But Fang Irong and the others still straightened their bodies on the horse, letting the crossbow arrows pass overhead, and when they shot behind them, they stirred up a few sparks.
He raised his riding spear, with a white cloth tied to it, and shouted: "Blind your dogs, and don't see who is below." Is there anyone in charge, come out to speak, your major general Kong Xian is back. If you hurt him, even ten heads won't be enough to cut off. ”
I can't see that there is a huge amount of energy in his monkey-like body, which is really like a bell.
After speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head: "It's the first time to play the white flag, it's really a little unaccustomed!" ”
"Major General, what a young general, a straight thief, must be here to earn the city, release arrows, release arrows." The people above were still screaming in a mess.
At this time, a voice sounded: "Shut up, don't do anything, let me see!" ”
Hearing this voice, Kong Xian was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted: "General Liu Fu, it turned out to be you, I am Kong Xian, I'm back!" ”
It turned out that the person who shouted on the city wall just now was Liu Fu, the first general under Kong Yanzhou.
He looked at it fixedly, and was suddenly surprised and delighted: "Cangtian, it is indeed the young general." Young General, why did you come here, but the thief bet on you as a precursor, so that I could wait for the rat trap? ”
Before Kong Xian could answer, a few cavalrymen escorting him were annoyed next to him, and scolded in unison: "You shrunken turtles who only know how to hide in the city, if you want to take down Qi Chun, we know how to fight, how can you do this kind of thing, are you a rat like you when I am a hero in Sizhou?" ”
Kong Xian said repeatedly: "General Liu Fu, I was released by Wang Daosi. Wang Jun's envoy said that there is no point in continuing this battle, and it is better for the two families to strike troops and negotiate peace. ”
Liu Fu was overjoyed: "Young General, you wait, I will immediately ask someone to let you hang Lan and pull you up." ”
Fang Irong: "Okay, young general, I'll send you here, cherish." ”
Kong Xian: "Thank you Brother Fang for escorting me all the way, and I cherish goodbye." ”
"I'll see you soon." Fang Irong smiled faintly, turned the horse's head, and a few cavalrymen walked away like a splash.
