Chapter 246: Fighting for the River Bridge and Generous and Sad Song (17)

"Lord!" Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Li Mu and others shouted in unison, and they still wanted to persuade them.

"Since Gao Cheng is cheating on death, where is he now?!" Yu Wentai suddenly asked a key question. If Gao Cheng really cheated to death, why didn't he show up? Where he is, perhaps, there is life. "Where is Hou Jing?" Yuwentai only then understood why Hou Jingli prevented him from attacking Heyin City, but now it seems that he is giving him life, but it is not easy to say it at the time. Thinking about it like this, Hou Jing still wants to leave a way back for himself.

"Where is Zhao Gui? Where is the Yuwen Black Otter? ”

Before he could analyze it carefully, another loud shout was heard, and the voice was almost close.

"Yuwen Black Otter is here!" Zhao Gui had already swung his sword and led people to meet him.

"Yuangui!" Yu Wentai subconsciously shouted and chased after him, but was pulled back by Li Mu and Yu Jin.

The three of them watched Zhao Gui's shadow disappear into the rain.

"General...... Yuwen Black Otter ......" There was a staccato sound in the distance.

"Western thief Zhao Gui......" There is another voice.

Yu Jin desperately pulled Yu Wentai to listen carefully, and then said, "Lord, only Chen Yuankang hates Brother Yuangui to the core, and he must find Brother Yuangui." If Chen Yuankang was searching for Yuangui in Heyin City, who was guarding the city gate? Yu Jin's eyes stared at Yu Wentai with burning eyes. If it is Hou Jing, then it may be a chance to get out of trouble.

Yu Wentai didn't speak, and glanced at the place where Zhao Gui's back disappeared from a distance. At this time, it was pale to say anything, and now there was a thought that finally became strong in his heart: he must escape from Heyin City. Only by escaping from Heyin can we talk about the rest of the matter.

"Go to Urn City!" Yuwentai turned around and walked with his sword, heading towards the direction of the urn city.

Yu Jin and Li Mu followed behind with people.

At this time, it is getting darker and the rain is getting lighter, so if you wait until it gets dark, I believe it will be a good time.

Sure enough, as Yu Jing expected, the urn city had quieted down at this time, and intuitively several people's hearts suddenly lit up.

The corpses are piled up like a mountain, almost all of them are the corpses of the Western Wei army, making it difficult for people to move an inch. Trampling on the corpses of his own soldiers, Yuwentai, Yu Jin, Li Mu and the rest of the Western Wei army were all like knives. Everyone clenched their weapons and waited for a fierce battle to come. However, life is just around the corner, as long as you rush out of the urn city and out of the gates of Heyin City, you are expected to return to Kim Yong City.

The way to go is as smooth as the way to come. When he got out of Heyin City, he still couldn't believe that he had escaped death. Yu Wentai ordered the rest to be assembled, and the rest was only a few hundred people, and hurried in the direction of Kim Yong City.

The moon and stars are scarce, the night has fallen, at this time the drizzle is like silk, the sky is gradually clearing, and the city of Heyin, which has been left behind, seems to be quiet and unusual.

At the head of Heyin City, Hou Jing, who looked at Yuwentai and his party in the distance, stood silently for a long time. It wasn't until he heard someone reply, "General Wuwei is coming to restore his life", that he turned around. watched his son Wuwei General Hou He also walk up to the city, from far to near.

Hou He walked to his father Hou Jing's side, subconsciously glanced into the distance, and did not shy away from the two black-haired men, and whispered to his father, "Grandpa just let go of Yuwen Black Otter and let his son let go of Zhao Gui, what if the general knew?" ”

Hou Jing was suddenly stabbed in the heart by his son's words, stared at Hou He and said angrily, "How is it good?" You only know how to ask each other, don't you know what you think? ”

Hou He was stunned when he was reprimanded, but he didn't expect his father to suddenly lose his temper, although he was dissatisfied, but he was clumsy in words, so he was silent.

"So will it be with the erector himself." Hou Jing whispered, not knowing whether to tell it to himself or to his son Hou He.

Hou He looked up at his father in disbelief.

After grabbing a few horses, Yu Wentai, Yu Jin, and Li Mu rushed towards Kim Yong City. The hundreds of soldiers and soldiers who could ride horses followed, and most of them, who had no horses, were also depressed and followed closely like headless flies. At this point, the Western Wei army had lost all its courage.

"Prime Minister, there is someone in front!" Suddenly, I heard a voice that I didn't know who it was.

Yu Wentai gradually slowed down and looked closely, taking advantage of the bright moonlight to see clearly, not far in front of him was the Eastern Wei sergeant who could not see the end at a glance. The general at the front rode a black horse, with a tall posture and bright armor. Yu Wentai's heart trembled suddenly.

This place has just left Heyin City, not far from Kim Yong City, and it is still far from Kim Yong City. Do you really want to die here?

The black horse general slowly rode forward, and the iron cavalry behind him also followed, and the black pressure wrapped towards the hundreds of remnants of the Western Wei army.

The horse's hooves were slow and calm, and finally he reached the front of him, the bright moon and the clear light of the moon sprinkled on the face under the hood, through the bright moonlight and the torches held by the soldiers rushing behind him, this face clearly appeared in Yuwentai's eyes, so that he could see it very clearly.

Yu Wentai's heart jumped, and there was an indescribable sense of excitement in it.

That face that captivated the country and the city was full of vitality at the moment, and it was really Gao Cheng.

"Where does my uncle want to go?" Gao Cheng smiled and asked a little lazily, with a slight sense of cat and mouse teasing. While asking, he glanced at Yu Wentai, Yu Jin, and Li Mu.

Needless to say, the three of them were covered in blood, and their armor was crooked. Yuwentai's hood has been thrown away at some point, showing a messy bun, and the embarrassed state can be seen at a glance.

Yu Wentai took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly, then slowly exhaled again, and then slowly opened his eyes, staring at Gao Cheng fixedly, "Since Brother Cheng is already waiting here, I have nothing to say, it is nothing more than taking my life, Brother Cheng, please do it." ”

Gao Cheng's green eyes stared at Yu Wentai coldly, seeing that he was disheartened and calmly asked him to die. Is he sure that he will not kill him? That's why you deliberately show him this? Everyone in the iron cavalry behind Gao Cheng stared at the defeated remnants of the Xikou army in front of them, as if they were eager to devour them alive.

"When Zhao Gui shot me with an arrow, did my uncle also look forward to my death? Did you think there was today? Gao Cheng had no sharp blades in his hands, no bows and arrows, and looked at Yuwentai waiting for him to answer him. Since he was willing to die at this time, didn't he know that he had today?

He clearly saw the starlight in Yu Wentai's eyes gently rippling, and the ripples in his eyes slowly calmed down. Both men are staring at each other, looking into each other's eyes. Whether it is the iron cavalry of the Eastern Wei Dynasty or the remnants of the Western Wei Dynasty, they are silent at this time.

Yu Wentai suddenly smiled, a little sad. Rhetorically asked, "That's what the general thinks in his heart?" He didn't explain a word, and there was a hint of joking sarcasm in his tone. The wild and uninhibited at the tips of the eyebrows suddenly made Gao Cheng seem to have returned to Jiankang a few years ago, when he first met by the Yangtze River.

Yuwentai stared at his face. This face that is so beautiful that there is no second in the world has been dyed with a faint touch of vicissitudes, and there are faint traces of scheming in his beautiful emerald eyes, he is no longer the young man with a frank demeanor and clear eyes.

Gao Cheng calmed down, and his demeanor became deep and cold. "I don't intend to take the prime minister's life, and the prime minister doesn't have to."

"The matter has come to this point, Yuwen Black Otter is willing to bear it alone, what else does the general command, but please tell me bluntly, no need to whitewash your words." Yuwentai simply let go of his heart, there is just death, and there is no regret to die in the hands of an opponent like Gao Cheng. In fact, what can't be put down?

In an instant, the weak figure of the eldest princess Yuan Yuying on the sickbed flashed in front of her. Suddenly remembered what she said before leaving, she had dissuaded him. It's just that at that time, his mind was already floating and he couldn't listen to it at all.

Gao Cheng's mount spun around in place with a snort and tail, as if he was in a pretty good mood. Gao Cheng carried the reins and patiently controlled his mount like a child. When his mount quieted down, his demeanor became calm, as if everything was already in his chest. "Since the prime minister has said this, I might as well tell him bluntly. I don't intend to take the prime minister's life, what should I do with the prime minister's life? ”

Gao Cheng stared at Yuwentai, and the eyes of the two people touched again. Gao Cheng didn't look like he was joking at all, Yuwentai stared at him and didn't speak, for him, this feeling was actually not good. And Yu Jin and Li Mu were also a little incredulous.

"The prime minister and I will be recuperating for three years?" The corners of Gao Cheng's lips revealed a slight smile.

Yu Wentai's heart trembled. It's not because Gao Cheng actually let him live again, it's because he suddenly saw his mind in his confident smile. Gao Cheng has become his biggest rival in the world. He dared to let him go back, there must have been his own considerations, but it also aroused his ambition.

"Doesn't the general regret it?" Yu Wentai asked rhetorically. If he had been given another chance, he would not have failed so badly.

"What do I have to regret?" Gao Cheng smiled lightly, that kind of light wind is the arrogance after letting go.

Yu Wentai nodded slightly, "In that case, the black otter will say goodbye to the general, and there will be a period later." ”

Yuwentai whipped his hand, and his mount sped out, heading in the direction of Kim Yong City in the distance.

Yu Jin and Li Mu glanced at Gao Cheng and really didn't mean to stop them, and they also whipped their horses away, always a little surprised in their hearts.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the remnants of the Western Wei army soon disappeared into the desolate suburbs outside Heyin City.

Gao Cheng saw Yuwentai leave, and was about to return to Heyin City, when he suddenly saw Chen Yuankang galloping towards him from far and near in the direction of Heyin. Gao Cheng did not give the order to return to Heyin, and quietly stayed in place, watching Chen Yuankang's figure gradually become clearer, until he approached.

"Shizi?" Chen Yuankang glanced into the distance and stared at Gao Cheng suspiciously.

"Brother Changyou." Gao Cheng called him, then turned around and signaled the iron horse behind him to stand by, and he rode his horse slowly and jogged towards the smoke trees in the deserted village in the distance.

Chen Yuankang glanced behind him and followed.

"The prince released the Yuwen black otter?" Chen Yuankang finally asked in disbelief.

"After all, brothers." Gao Cheng looked up at the extremely distant mountains, and the sky was already bright. Apparently his heart was no longer on the matter.

"When the son of the world is a brother of Yuwen Black Otter, has he ever been a brother of the son of the world? has endangered the life of the son of the world several times, and this time he let Yuwen Black Otter go, but I am afraid that there will be no such good opportunity in the future. Although Chen Yuankang believes that Gao Cheng must have his own reasons for doing things, he can't help but feel regretful.

"Brother Changyou," Gao Cheng was not in a hurry or regret, and retracted his gaze to look at Chen Yuankang, "It doesn't matter if Yuwen Black Otter dies or not. The important thing is that even if the Yuwen black otter is dead, we will not be able to eat it in the land of Guanlong. ”

Chen Yuankang was silent. If you think about it, it's true. This battle is too laborious, not only Xikou, but also the loss of soldiers, the fatigue of the division, where is the energy to drive lightly and take Chang'an? Even if the Yuwen Black Otter died at this time, it did not mean that the Western Wei Dynasty was immediately defeated. How can it be effortless to reunify the society?

Even if you really take the land of Guanlong, you may not be able to defend it. Rouran and Nanliang are all eyeing each other, waiting for the opportunity. If you run out of strength in order to take Guan Long, I am afraid that you will be in danger of losing your country by then. It is not the most important thing how much territory to occupy, the key is to have the strength to make people surrender and not dare to attack.

"It's also good for the son of the world to send a favor." Thinking of this, Chen Yuankang's tone changed.

"I have agreed with Yuwen Black Otter for a period of three years, and I will decide the winner in the future." Gao Cheng's words are worth a million soldiers, and these three years of recuperation are very important for both the Eastern Wei and the Western Wei. Although they don't meet each other on the battlefield, they are also secretly invisible.

Chen Yuankang saw the sun in his heart, "The son of the world is eloquent." Instead of being chaotic and busy, it is better to settle down and enrich the country and strengthen the army, and then divide the superiority on a different day. ”

Gao Cheng didn't pick up his topic again, and slowly urged the horse to go back.

At this time, the sun rises high, and the spring sun is warm, and it is very comfortable to shine on people. Gao Cheng has been injured for a long time, recuperating on the couch for many days, and has not been out of the house for many days in order to cheat his death, and he is very attached to such sunshine at this time. In fact, Yu Wentai didn't know that Gao Cheng was also holding on with all his might, his arrow wound could not heal so quickly, the wound was always a faint pain, and even now he could no longer slash as vigorously as before when he raised his sword.

Chen Yuankang followed silently, and the two walked side by side.

"Brother Changyou, the disaster of swords and soldiers and the pain of leaving chaos have been delayed for a long time, how can the people of the world endure it again and again?" Gao Cheng suddenly sighed, as if he had a lot of emotion.

Chen Yuankang was stunned, and looked sideways at Gao Cheng, the son of the world has been so compassionate since he was a child, he felt a little unaware of Gao Cheng.

"The son of the world doesn't have to be sad, he was born in troubled times, and he can't help himself." Chen Yuankang was also a little sad in his heart.

"You and I can't help ourselves." Gao Cheng also glanced sideways at him. But he suddenly said, "Yuwen Black Otter is also a minister who rules the world, and let's see how he behaves in the future." ”

After saying this, Gao Cheng sped up his speed, let his mount gallop, and headed in the direction of Heyin City.

After this battle, the Eastern Wei Dynasty lost all the counties in Henan after the defeat in the Battle of Shayuan, and the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty returned to its former state. Heyin City did not lose, and kept the river bridge and the tiger prison, which is the chance of winning the next showdown. The two Wei agreed to recuperate for a period of three years, which can be regarded as the result of the Battle of Heqiao.

When Yu Wentai returned to Kim Yong City, the first thing he did was to order someone to sew Gao Aocao's head and body together, put them in a coffin and send them to Heyin City to return them to Gao Cheng, which can be regarded as a sign of his heart.

A few days later, the two Wei armies went east and west and parted ways to collect their troops and returned, and at this point, the battle for the river bridge was completely over.

Although the cold winter is slow and long, there will always be a time when it passes, and spring finally comes.
