After arranging the subsequent battle plan for Wu Shun, you turned to Xie Shuangcheng, who was standing on the side.

You sink your face. You asked, "Xie Shuangcheng." Who gave you the power to leak news to Junko? Since when did you become a mouthy rapper? ”

Xie Shuangcheng's face turned white. He knelt down with a puff and said in fear, "It's wrong." Please punish the general. ”

You say, "It's good to know what you're wrong." Listen. From now on, Shunzi, Guan Wenliang, you, Commander Liu, the four of you, all keep your mouths tightly shut and block this news. If there is a sixth person in the world who knows about this, all of you will be put to death. ”

You say, "I have to give this message to a specific person at the moment I allow." ”

Several people knelt down solemnly and said yes.

You say, "Go, and then pass on Commander Liu." He's alone. ”

You said to Commander Liu, "I've given you a very important task. Please give me 5 days and 5 nights. I'm talking about the kind of time that isn't distracted by pain, that you can move freely, and that you can go all out in battle. ”

You say, "All I need is these last five days." These five days are very important for the war, for the Han king, for the country, and for the world. ”

You said to Commander Liu, "Do you understand what I mean? I don't want to prolong my life, I don't want to reduce my suffering, I just want to move. You can sacrifice everything to try to do it. ”

You say, "Don't have any worries." Just give me the last five days. ”

Commander Liu said with tears in his eyes: "I understand what the general means. I will do my best. ”

You look at Commander Liu and say, "I believe in you." ”

From this moment on, you enter the last 120 hours of that life.

And the battle of Xiyuan, which is famous in history, kicked off from that moment.

It was the last battle of your life, the final battle you had been pursuing for a long time.

You've been preparing it for a long time. During your recuperation in Qingchuan, you sit under an ancient green pine. When I listened to the murmuring of the mountain stream, I was already preparing for it. You've walked such a hard road step by step, and now, it's finally begun!

You look at Guan Wenliang and Xie Shuangcheng. They choked with tears.

You say, "I thank you for your sadness, from the bottom of my heart." ”

You say, "But why do we need to be so sad?" You have all been officers for many years. For military personnel. Life and death are always idle things. Going from life to death is like walking out of the tent to going out of the tent, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. ”

Say, "Take back your tears and show your courage!" Prove to the world that you are the best officers of the New Han Army, and you will do your best to help me. Complete the final battle! ”

You say, "In any case, a person can be at peace of mind and in good spirits, and that is what is really good." ”

Now, there are 110 hours left until your death.

Training ground. The soldiers brought the moonlight from the stables.

You walk up to the moonlight.

Moonlight sees you coming, and it wags its long tail. It looks at you with moist eyes. It snorted lightly and bent its front legs to its knees. It knelt on the ground for you to ride on, and then stood up. It walked a few steps smoothly. It awaits your instructions.

It's been a while since you've ridden moonshine.

You hold on to the reins. Try to clamp the horse's belly with your legs.

Moonlight ran in small steps. You rode it around the field for two rounds.

You stand up with your stirrups on your horse, and see if you can still slash your horse. You draw your saber. You start sprinting. You skim over a stake. You swing your sword and slash away, and the stake breaks.

You circle the horse back, and you pass the stake again, and you make a horizontal cut, and you succeed.

Guan Wenliang and Xie Shuangcheng watched you gallop back and forth in the arena, practicing slashing repeatedly. My heart was heavy.

After practicing for a while, you have beads of sweat on your forehead. You feel tiredness coming from deep within.

You stopped. You twist the horse's head and gallop back to the starting point. You lift your legs and dismount. However, your injured leg is struggling and softening. The other leg did not succeed in crossing the saddle bridge. You fall off your horse all at once. The soldiers hurried over to help you.

Moonlight stomps on her front hooves guiltily and sticks out her neck to rub you.

You didn't fall very hard, and you reached out and patted the moonlight. You say, "It's not your fault. ”

Moonlight sticks out her tongue and licks your palm gently.

You pat the moonlight again.

The guards helped you up. You sit in your chair and breathe rapidly. You reach out and hold down the position of your heart, trying to suppress that weightless palpitation.

Commander Liu bows to the ground guiltily at you.

You gasp and say, "Is there a way for me to increase my strength?" Not fast enough to succeed. ”

It's now 109 hours until your death.

Your big tent.

Commander Liu cautiously opened a box painted with gold and lacquered wood.

He said, "General Hui, this medicinal herb is called Guiling Grass. A rarity that the King of Tubo Khan paid tribute to the King of Han. It grows only on a small sunny hillside and takes up to 50 years to mature. After it is harvested, the field will be devoid of grass for 50 years. Because all the energy is gathered by it. In fact, it can only be harvested once every 100 years. ”

Commander Liu said: "The king of Tubo Khan only paid tribute to 3 trees. One is in the Taishu Concubine, the other is in the Tai Hospital, and this one was given to the military doctor by the King of Han during the Huanglong Fortress, saying that it would be kept for the general at a critical juncture. ”

You look at the plants in that box, and from the outside, they look a bit like orchid flowers, and you don't think there's anything special.

You ask, "Will it work?" ”

Commander Liu said: "My subordinates have not actually used it, but they have only read the records in the medical books and the medical cases of the Tai Hospital, and they dare not pack the ticket, and they are about six or seven percent sure." ”

You say, "Then let's try." ”

Commander Liu wanted to speak and stopped.

You say, "Something to say." Don't waste any more time. ”

He said: "50 years of medicinal power, 100 years of earth essence, not everyone can afford it. The general is sick and weak, and with such a tiger and wolf medicine, it will definitely consume the true yuan and further shorten the number of days of survival. ”

You say, "Leave it alone." Give it to me. ”

(f)

Your heart beats violently, faster and faster. You feel the blood in your ears surging all over your body, and they roar like a waterfall falling down a cliff, and you can't hear anything in the middle of that roar.

You breathe sharply, your chest heaving violently. Through your clothes, you can feel the blood vessels in your body constantly contracting and expanding.

You feel like all your internal organs are starting to burn, and every meridian is breathing fire.

You feel like all the water in your body is burned dry all at once. You feel thirsty like never before. Your lips are starting to dry out. You keep asking for water, you drink a lot of water, but you still can't quench that thirst. You can't drink anymore, and the water in your stomach is about to overflow when you drink it, but you still feel thirsty.

You are burned to the ground by the power of the medicine that is seeping into your body. Your clothes are soaked with sweat.

You collapse on the bed, clutching your chest, so sad that you don't know what to do.

Wu Shun looked at you, reached out to hold your hand, and he nervously asked Commander Liu, "Could it be too much of a dose?" Why does the heart beat so fast? How can people stand it? ”

Commander Liu said: "However, it is recorded in the medical book that without such a dose, this medicine cannot work. ”

Before Commander Liu's words fell, you suddenly grabbed Wu Shun's hand hard.

Before Wu Shun could ask you how you felt, you vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Then you fainted. (To be continued.) )
