Chapter 440: A Big Gamble
Happily stunned, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he stared straight at Yang Jian. The latter looked at each other with joy without fear, his eyes were as calm as water, there was no anger, no hatred, only a faint longing and concern.
After a long time, he said softly: "She is very good, but she often misses you and her brother at home." ”
When Yang Jian heard this, the smile on his face couldn't help but brighten, making his pale face a little more bloody. At this moment, Yang Jian is not a high-profile general, a prince, just a father who misses his children, with a kind and peaceful face.
After a while, the smile on Yang Jian's face was slightly reduced, and he said with some emotion: "This kid is also ill-fated!" Gao Gongzi, I know that you are the dragon and phoenix among people, and your achievements in the future must be limitless, and Lihua will never be humiliated if she follows you. Here, I ask you, as a father, to take care of her. ”
Happy was silent for a while, and then nodded: "She is my wife, and I will take good care of her and not let her be hurt in the slightest." ”
"That's it!" Yang Jian's face suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression was very relaxed.
He smiled happily: "General Yang, since you miss your daughter, why don't you leave with me, so that Lihua can serve and enjoy a peaceful family from now on?" ”
When Yang Jian heard this, he couldn't help but be a little distracted, and it took him for a while before he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Gao Gongzi has a good intention Yang Jian has received it, but his wife and children are all in Zhou Kingdom, how can I ignore them?" ”
After a pause, Yang Jian continued: "Master Gao, you are Qi Chen, I am Zhou General, with different positions, each is its own master, today I fell into your hands, I knew that I would die, so I didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes, I only begged you to let my brothers live." ”
As if thinking of something, Yang Jian added: "Don't worry, I will force them to make a heavy oath that they will not join the army again in this life, let alone step into the territory of Qi State for half a step, and never mention today's affairs." ”
"General, how can I live alone as a person who is a general in life and a ghost as a general in death?"
"I don't want to be born on the same day and month as the same year, but I want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same **, and I hope the general will be perfect!"
"Yes, swear to live and die with the general!"
The guards around Yang Jian were immediately grateful, knelt on the ground one after another, and said loudly.
"Good brother, good brother, even so, today we will go to Huangquan together, and we will be good brothers in the next life!" Yang Jian knelt on the ground with a touched face, looked at each other with his arms with tears in his eyes, and his words were sincere.
"Good brother, hahaha!" When the guards heard this, they immediately raised their heads to the sky and laughed, and their laughter was full of tragic and heroic feelings.
happily looked at Yang Jian and the others who hugged each other, crying and laughing, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but show a playful smile, "General Yang, did I say I wanted to kill you?" Don't you want to live? ”
Yang Jian's laughter suddenly stopped, and he looked at him happily in surprise: "What do you mean?" ”
"Let's go!" Happy shook his head slightly, then turned the horse's head and walked slowly towards the way he came, and his faint voice came from the air.
Yang Jian was stunned, almost unable to believe his ears, until he was happy to organize the team and was about to leave, he didn't react, and couldn't help but ask in a loud voice, "Why?" ”
"Didn't you already know why?" He didn't look back when he was happy, and his voice was still flat: "General Yang, you are an excellent gambler and a crazy gambler!" I hope you and I don't meet on the battlefield again in the future, otherwise I will be really embarrassed. ”
When the words fell, the happy right hand suddenly slapped the horse's buttocks, shouted "drive" in his mouth, and rode the horse towards Jinyang City first. Behind him, all the cavalry also galloped on horseback, and soon disappeared, leaving only the smoke and dust in the sky.
Yang Jian looked at the direction of Happy Departure as if he had been struck by lightning, and remained motionless. However, his heart was set off by a monstrous Lang, and his hands and feet were even colder.
I saw through it, but he actually saw through it?
Yang Jian secretly repeated this sentence, and the horror in his heart was simply incomprehensible. He never imagined that his plan would be seen through by joy, and at this moment, he seemed to be exposed to the air as if he didn't find a wisp of it, and there was no trace of secrets.
Happy was right, when Happy didn't kill Yang Jian with a single move, the latter had already planned everything in his heart and was ready to make a big gamble.
If you just look at the historical data, then you will definitely find that the process of Yang Jian's acquisition of the throne is really a bit dramatic, in other words, his luck is too good, so good that people are jealous.
Yang Jian can be said to have no major achievements in the first half of his life, his titles and official positions were inherited from his father, and his performance in the battle of Yuwen Yong and Qi was not eye-catching. When Yuwenyong died, Yuwenyun succeeded to the throne, and he was the ruler of the country, so he rose to the top and soared into the sky. Later, Yu Wenyun died of wine, Yang Jian became an auxiliary minister, and his power was unmatched for a while, and the usurpation of the throne in a certain dynasty was almost a matter of course.
However, Yang Jian was able to finally dominate the world and sit on Kyushu's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, although he has the favor of God, but if he is just a mediocre and incompetent person, how can all this be realized?
Yang Jian has long known that some people in the court say that he has different intentions, because he has always been Taoguang and obscure, his performance is mediocre, and he is as far away from Chang'an as possible, and he never does anything beyond the bounds, which is also an important reason why he has survived so far.
This time in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian never thought about how to fight for merit, all he thought about was to show Yu Wenyong what a loyal minister should do, only in this way could he guarantee his life and maintain the glory of the family.
If Yang Jian's volunteering to serve as a pioneer was planned a long time ago, then wearing Yuwenyong's golden armor to lead away the pursuers was a big gamble, betting on the status of the eldest daughter Yang Lihua in Xingxin's heart, and betting that Xingxing would let him leave for Yang Lihua.
Happiness did not disappoint Yang Jian in the end, and when Yang Jian was willing to die without the slightest resentment, he opened the net and let him go. It's just that to Yang Jian's expectation, Xing was able to see through all his calculations.
At this moment, the luck of the rest of his life in Yang Jian's heart had completely dissipated, and some were only full of fear. In his life, Yang Jian had never seen anyone with such martial arts as happiness, and the most terrifying thing was his mind that saw everything.
If you encounter it again in the future...... Yang Jian shook his head vigorously, he really didn't dare to imagine whether he would be able to escape from being happy in the future. Although he has only a few relationships with Happy, now he has a mysterious but sure feeling that Happy will definitely become the biggest rival in his life.
"General, what's wrong with you, doesn't it matter?" Seeing that Yang Jian's face was cloudy and cloudy, and his forehead was full of sweat, a guard couldn't help but ask with concern.
"Whew-"
Yang Jian came to his senses, hurriedly dispelled the thoughts in his heart, and said with a long breath: "It's okay, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly!" ”
"Yes!" The guards immediately agreed, then lifted Yang Jian onto his horse and continued to walk towards the west.
Yang Jian couldn't help but look back at the southeast direction, a beautiful figure with a clever smile appeared in his mind, and it became clearer and clearer, and he muttered in his mouth: "Lihua." ”
……
On the way back, Xing Xing was very silent, the expression on his face was also faint, and the cavalry behind him did not disturb him, but just followed him quietly, marching unhurriedly.
Let go of Yang Jian twice, let go of the enemy who may become the most powerful enemy in his life, happy and not regretful, whether it was past, present or future. Although history chose Yang Jian, when he was happy, history had already changed, and his fate was only in his own hands.
It's just that Yang Jian's appearance makes it inevitable that he will miss his beloved wife and parents at home.
In his previous life, he was a lone wolf wandering in the night, dancing alone on the tip of the knife, but now, he has to for the faith in his heart, for the survival and happiness of his family, he can only silently chew on the unique loneliness, endless fighting.
"General!"
Happy to believe in the reins, just recalling the happiness of getting together with the family, I don't know how long it took, suddenly a gentle call came from behind him, and happiness instantly woke up from his thoughts.
"Stop!" With a happy wave of his hand, the cavalry behind him suddenly stopped in unison, and together they set their eyes on the galloping horseman in front of him.
The person who came soon came to the front, dressed in black, with a serious expression, a calm breath, and bright eyes.
"Your Excellency!" Without waiting for the horse to stop, Zhang Shunzhi conveniently turned over and dismounted, landed steadily in front of Xing, and saluted respectfully.
He waved his hand happily and said, "No need to be polite, just say anything about it!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Shunyi arched his hand, and then said: "Lord Hui, the war in Jinyang has ended, and the siege of Jinyang has been resolved." In this battle, more than 10,000 Zhou soldiers were captured, and the others had fled to Jinzhou, and Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong was not captured alive. ”
He hummed happily, and then sighed: "Capturing 10,000 enemies, this result is really unsatisfactory, it seems that Zhou Jun is really not easy to match!" ”
There is nothing to be dissatisfied with this result, after all, the Zhou army is an elite division, and although the rout of the West will affect the other three sides, it will not hurt the fundamentals. As long as Yuwen Yong does not die, the Zhou army can still rise and make a comeback.
If he was happy to pursue Yu Wenyong with all his might, it would be very likely to catch up, but he didn't do so. Now that the situation is unclear, everything is still self-preservation, otherwise it is really not good to make a wedding dress for others.
"What about Uncle Bao, what about them? What about our casualties? Happy pondered for a moment, then asked.
"General Qin suffered some skin injuries in order to capture Zhou General Gao Ying, but it was fine, and now he has retreated to the woods thirty miles away to rest according to the orders of the adults. This time, our 5,000 cavalry lost a total of 500 men, 300 were killed on the spot, 200 were disabled and could not go to the battlefield again, and almost everyone else was wounded. ”
Hearing this, he was happy for a while, his face suddenly became ugly, his eyes were full of regret, and he clenched his bite and said: "It's me who is not good, and I have affected five hundred brothers!" ”
After a while, his happy and ugly face recovered a little, and he continued: "The order is to go down, collect the remains of the dead brothers, and bury them in the Heroes' Tomb in Xinghua City, and the pension will be doubled. Those who are disabled should also be resettled, and the livelihood of their families will be taken care of by the government! ”
