Chapter 239: Fighting for the River Bridge and Generous and Sad Song (11)
Between you and me, the Eastern Wei army chased farther and farther, although the Western Wei army was defeated and retreated, but he was also far away from Heyin City. If it was Yuwentai and Zhao Gui, the Western Wei army, it would be fine, and it had already retreated, so it should not chase the poor again. Gao Ao Cao refused to let go, and at this time, Li Mu, the governor of Western Wei, led a large army to reinforce him.
Li Mu's reinforcements deprived Gao Aocao of the best opportunity to collect his troops and return to Heyin. Moreover, Gao Aocao did not see Hou He, the general of the military guard sent by Gao Cheng to be his vanguard, and later Chen Yuankang ordered him to give him an order, so he didn't know that Gao Cheng called him not to chase the poor and return to Heyin quickly.
The key is that he can't go if he wants to, Li Mu waits for work, and everyone goes east to fight bravely. Even if Gao Ao Cao is brave, he is only one person, and he is not in a hurry, and he hurried from the tiger prison, and has been fighting fiercely with Yu Wentai and Zhao Gui for a long time, and there are no reinforcements, so it is already very dangerous for Gao Ao Cao, who is alone in the deep fight, and is against many parts of the Western Wei army.
Even so, Gao Aocao still lived up to his reputation as the first fierce general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. The Eastern Wei Dynasty had fewer enemies, and Gao Aocao led the remnants of the Eastern Wei army to fight with Yuwentai, Zhao Gui and Li Mu. Fortunately, in the end, he was able to break out of the siege and gather the remnants to retreat to Heyin City.
Gao Aocao didn't know anything about the situation in Heyin City.
When Hou Jing was still waiting in the courtyard of the county ya's house, he suddenly received a message sent by the deputy general of the city guard: Gao Aocao, the governor of the capital, had been defeated and had gone outside the city of Heyin, and the governor of Western Wei pursued Li Hu and was about to arrive at Heyin City.
Inside the room, the gold sore doctor was engrossed, the force in his hand increased slightly, and while staring at the wound, he continued to unleash the arrow cluster. The flesh and blood flew up, and the flesh continued to rot, and the purpose at this time was not to protect the flesh, but to remove the foreign body.
Chen Yuankang looked at Gao Cheng and turned pale again, sweating like pulp, and the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water. The bun was messy, and the strands of hair that fell on the corners of his forehead had been stuck to his forehead with sweat. Blood continued to ooze out of the wound, and even if the doctor sprinkled hemostatic powder, it did not completely stop. No one could care about this, and the part of the white tunic near the wound was already stained with blood.
The most worrying thing finally happened, because the wound was not open enough, and the cluster of arrows jammed halfway through the opening. This time, the gold sore doctor was even more sharp, reaching out with his left hand to take the lancet and go down to increase the wound, while holding the fork in his right hand and waiting. When the wound is large enough, the right hand exerts force, and in an instant, the arrow cluster is completely opened with greater force.
Although the intermediate medicine was spraying fennel and hemostatic powder, the analgesia did not work at all. The moment the arrow cluster was pulled out, the sharp pain reached its peak.
"Your Highness!!" Suddenly, the general Gao Cheng on the couch shouted, and then fainted and didn't know what to do.
This cry of anger shook the beam, and it was evident that he had concentrated all his strength to resist this pain, and all his strength poured out at this moment.
The Imperial Doctor's Order, Yizheng, and Golden Sore Doctor didn't care what the general shouted. It is very common for the injured person to call someone when they are in extreme pain, and it is nothing more than the most important person in their hearts or the person who cares about them the most, but it has nothing to do with them. On the contrary, the medical officers felt relieved, because the arrow cluster was fired, there was no accident, and the injured person would be fine as long as he took it externally and internally to recuperate. Especially for a young and healthy person like the general, don't look at the scary injuries at this time, and the recovery is also very fast.
Gao Cheng's shout shocked Chen Yuankang, looking at the fainting prince, Chen Yuankang knew clearly in his heart at this time, it turned out that the person who the prince was most worried about was the princess and Princess Feng Yi Yuan Zhonghua.
Maybe it was because Gao Cheng's exclamation was too loud, which startled Hou Jing, who was waiting in the courtyard. He had just instructed the people who came and went to deliver the news: do not open the city gate for the time being, lest the Western Wei army also take advantage of the gap to enter.
Hearing the voice of the great general Gao Cheng, Hou Jing's heart trembled, and even his deepest thoughts were shocked. Fortunately, he was quite determined, and when he calmed down, he was suddenly curious. So he called the servant and asked about the healing in the house. Knowing that the general had no painkillers, he couldn't bear the pain, and he screamed in pain, and Hou Jing became excited again. He thought that Gao Cheng had already put Nanliang's Princess Liyang aside, but he didn't expect that when he cried out in such pain, he was the first to remember that it was Princess Liyang. It's an interesting thing.
Outside Heyin City, in the dark night, Gao Aocao, who finally rushed to Heyin City, barely took a breath, and immediately ordered someone to knock on the city gate, saying that Gao Aocao, the governor of the capital, led the troops to return, and ordered the guards to open the city gate immediately.
Gao Aocao didn't even think about letting the city soldiers go back to the defenders of Heyin City. He didn't remember who the defender of Heyin City was at this time. If he wants to open the gates, who else will dare not open them?
However, it backfired, and it was so unexpected. Gao Aocao realized when he was in danger that not everything was under his control. And the part that he couldn't control, which he didn't think was very important, was actually important enough to overturn him.
The governor of Western Wei seized the opportunity to chase Li Hu to the city of Heyin. This was followed by the Western Wei army. Gao Aocao was defeated by the remnants of the army at this time, but Li Hu came by force. The governors of the Western Wei Dynasty will fight in turn, but Gao Aocao is always alone. What's even worse is that at this time, the gate of Heyin City was closed, and there was no door to accept it, and not even a single soldier came out to help Gao Aocao fight against Li Hu. It was as if Heyin City was an empty city, and no one had heard of the battle between the two Wei armies outside the city.
The division was tired and the army was defeated, no matter how brave Gao Aocao was, he was also a flesh and blood body, and he was naturally no match for Li Hu's department, which was indeed like a wolf and a tiger at this time. So the retreating army suffered another heavy blow, and Gao Aocao's side was almost wiped out, leaving only a dozen people to defend the main general.
Gao Aocao had no choice but to go to the west of Heyin City. After years of war, the village house was abandoned and no one lived in it, Gao Aocao and the last dozen people hid in the village. Knowing that the general trend had gone, Gao Aocao calmed down and calmed down at this time.
For the time being, the Western Wei army has not yet caught up, and this is also the last precious moment. Gao Aocao, who was already extremely tired, got off his horse and rested under the ruins for a while, in fact, he was already thinking about how to arrange the future. The general died in a hundred battles, and he was not afraid when it came to the end, but some things were too strange.
The countryside is particularly quiet at this moment. In the dark night, the slight touch of the moon in the sky seems to be asleep, I don't know why it makes people deeply reflected. The starry sky is no different from the past, and no one can believe that this will be the end. What was originally commonplace has become the last sight.
Gao Aocao sat under the broken wall, closed his eyes, and drowsiness suddenly hit. I don't feel cold because I don't care, there are too many things to care about. If this is just a dream, he can sleep peacefully on the couch and wake up from a full sleep, he is willing to lead the Eastern Wei army to fight the Xikou to the death with a hundred times the spirit.
But there was no such opportunity, and he knew it very well. Closing his eyes is a scene of the past, how happy Gao Aocao was in the past. Suddenly feeling extremely thirsty, he opened his eyes and looked around. Around him were the generals who were also so tired that they couldn't get up anymore, and the last people followed him.
"Grand Governor, why does the general refuse to open the city gate?" A soldier who looked young looked at Gao Aocao very seriously and asked, his gaze very persistent.
Gao Aocao stared at his round and big eyes, really like a tomb beast, his eyes were full of anger, and his mind also boiled down to this point. Why don't the gates of Heyin City open? The soldier's question was a reminder to him, and this was what he wanted to understand the most. He is not afraid of death, who has not died since ancient times, but who did he die for? At whose hands did they die? Of course, he didn't really think that he was dying at the hands of Xikou Li Hu.
"The Metropolitan Governor...... The thief is coming......" Suddenly, a nervous and deliberately suppressed voice interrupted Gao Aocao's thoughts.
Gao Ao Cao pulled the soldier who asked him the question just now, stared at him in the dark and whispered, "Who is the guard of Heyin City?" ”
The status of the soldier is low, and he has never seen this murderous first general of Great Wei so close before. But although he was young, he was facing life and death at this time, but he was able to hold on without panicking, and after thinking about it, he replied, "I heard that the general said that it was the prince of Puyang County." ”
The general in the mouth of this soldier should be a partial general and deputy general, if it is said to be "Puyang County Duke", it must be Hou Jing.
Gao Aocao felt indescribable regret and hatred in his heart. He has no grievances with Hou Jing, why did Hou Jing turn him away from the city? Isn't Hou Jing who it is? Is it really the great general Gao Cheng? His first instinct was not to believe, and he did not want to believe. He and Gao Cheng had a gap in the past, but in his heart, he had turned hostility into jade, and he treated each other sincerely. Why did Gao Cheng put him in danger?
I heard the shouting in my ears that it was near, and I knew that it was useless to hide. "Capture Gao Aocao alive!" The voice is really heard, if he is really going to be captured alive, he will be humiliated if he falls into the hands of the western thief, how can he Gao Ao Cao be a person who can be humiliated?
The "Metropolitan Governor ......" soldier was still being pulled by him, because he had never seen such a scene, and his whole body trembled, and his voice trembled slightly. But he didn't throw off Gao Aocao and ran for his life. Gu Bu was already in tears, and said loudly with a trembling voice, "Dadu Governor, while the western thieves have not left this place quickly, I am willing to protect Dadudu, even if I lose my life." ”
Gao Aocao staggered to his feet. At the end of his life, there were still people who were willing to treat each other so sincerely and were willing to give away their lives, and then he suddenly understood how precious a person's life is. In the past, he had always regarded human life as a mustard, and only at such a moment of life and death did he know how precious the mustard in his eyes was in the eyes of others.
He rested, since he is a military general, he can only live by standing, how can he die while sitting? can't make people laugh at him for running away and ruining his reputation.
"The Grand Duke!" More than a dozen soldiers and soldiers surrounded him and asked in unison, "I am willing to live and die with the Metropolitan Governor!" ”
This is the greatest consolation for Gao Aocao, who is about to end his life.
He looked around, shook off the young soldier who was still holding him, and bowed to him suddenly.
The soldier was stunned and speechless. Of course, he also knew the notoriety of this tomb beast governor, and he didn't understand why he was like this.
The other soldiers and soldiers all quieted down and looked at Gao Aocao.
Gao Aocao straightened up and looked at the soldier, "Gao Gao is just dead, but he is not willing to be framed by others, if he can tell King Gao in detail, Gao Aocao is grateful for his death." ”
I see. The soldier was entrusted with this heavy trust, and his heart boiled, and he was speechless, but only nodded.
Gao Ao Cao clearly saw him nodding, his heart was worried, he no longer hesitated, turned around and strode towards the shouting and killing, and shouted, "Mention my Shuo!" ”
The soldiers brought it to Ma Shuo and presented it, and Gao Ao Cao copied it in his hand, without stopping, without hesitation, without fear. Gao Aocao is famous all over the world for a horse, and naturally will rely on this horse to the end of his life. Dying on the battlefield has no regrets for him, even the greatest blessing.
The shouting and killing of the Western Wei army was deafening, and countless figures had already surrounded him, but Gao Aocao's back was alone, just one person.
The sky was cloudy and bright, and the Heyin County Ya became unusually quiet. Not just anomalous, even weird.
There was no one in the courtyard of the back house, and even the servants knew that Hou Jing had been waiting here for a day and night, but because he was too worried about the general's injury, he was overly relieved, afraid, and sad and happy after the golden sore doctor opened the arrow cluster and knew that it was okay, and he was overwhelmed and fainted. After not knowing the personnel, he was carried out and returned to his station to rest.
I don't know when Hou Jing will wake up, but the general Gao Cheng has never woken up.
In that room, Chen Yuankang, Taiyi Ling, Yizheng, Golden Sore Doctor, and servants did not dare to leave. The sky was bright, the lights were out, and the room was still a little dark. The room was quiet as if no one was there. Taiyi Ling, Yizheng and Doctor Jin Sore were all busy for a long time, and when they saw that there was no abnormal situation, although they didn't dare to leave, they also relaxed their spirits, and just stayed in this room drowsily.
The servants stood in inconspicuous corners, waiting for orders.
Only Chen Yuankang has been staying in front of the bed, and he is full of energy, and he does not dare to relax for a moment.
Gao Cheng, who was lying on the couch, was still pale because of excessive blood loss, and he looked especially weak and weak when he slept with his eyes closed. The wound that was wrapped around was bleeding incessantly, and the blood soaked through was very scary. Fortunately, the powder that stopped the bleeding was still effective, and the blood finally flowed less, and there was a possibility of stopping.
Chen Yuankang stretched out his hand again and stroked Gao Cheng's forehead, still a little overheated. But seeing him sleep peacefully. After the cluster of arrows was launched last night, he fainted from severe pain and was bleeding profusely. The doctor rescued and gradually stopped the bleeding, and Gao Cheng also woke up. He didn't say anything, and soon fell asleep from overwork. I haven't woken up from this sleep until now, and it's really because I haven't slept well for a few days, and I'm too worried to sleep peacefully.
The blood-stained midcoat was soaked in blood because of the continuous blood loss before, and it was later taken off. At this time, Gao Cheng****'s upper body was wrapped in a quilt and lay on the couch and fell asleep. I don't know where to find the quilt, it looks cold and hard like iron, and it must not be comfortable to wrap on the body, but Gao Cheng, who is sleeping, is unaware.
Seeing that the prince was sleeping peacefully, Chen Yuankang instructed the imperial doctor to take good care of him and walked out of the house by himself.
