Chapter 151
Chapter 151
The night breeze rises again, blowing from the far north, through the entire valley, endlessly.
It seems to have been blowing for thousands of years, and it will never stop.
As if feeling a little cool, the patriarch sighed, stretched his body, slowly stood up, and then held the hard stone beside him with his hand, looking south in the dark night.
In that direction, south of Dingbian, bypassing the entire patriotic border, what are the people doing there?
Is it like him, looking into the distance and reminiscing about the past in the inky night?
Thinking of this, he suddenly shook his head, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, he was still old in the end, and he always loved to think nonsense.
He sighed faintly.
Hearing him sigh, Zhang Kui, who had been frowning and silent beside him, flashed his eyes, coughed lightly, came to the patriarch's side, hesitated for a moment, and asked:
"Patriarch, just now you said that if we raise the village and surrender, Wanyan Shuo will never attack us, could it be that you know him?"
The patriarch frowned when he heard this, turned his head and said:
"He won't do anything to us because we're useful," he said, putting his hands behind him, looking up, and said leisurely:
"As for the rest, you don't have to ask."
In the dim candlelight of the night, Zhang Kui's eyes flashed and fell silent.
The air seemed to be dull in an instant, and after a while, the patriarch suddenly sighed and said to Zhang Kui:
"At present, everyone in the village wants to go south, take refuge in Yan Shuo to survive, in order to protect the villagers, the old man will find a way to make Yan Shuo agree, let the villagers form an army of their own, incorporated into the Patriotic Army, then the old man will let you be the main general of this army, and go north with the Patriotic Army to attack Yan, Zhang Kui, the old man saw that you are a general, and you also have ambitions, so he said this to you, but the old man also warned you that taking refuge in the Patriotic State is a road of no return, from now on, you will be with Yan Guo in the past, become an enemy, if you don't want to, the old man will find someone elseand never forcefully. ”
Zhang Kui's body shook when he heard this, and his eyes tightened, as if something suddenly pressed on his shoulder, making him feel extremely heavy.
A question that he had only thought about in the middle of the night, when he was alone, was brought up by the patriarch and placed in front of him.
For him, this is a golden opportunity to spread his wings and never be in the company of the finch again, and he will be depressed all day long.
He subconsciously clenched his fists, took a deep breath, bowed to the patriarch, and said, "The villain is willing!" If you can really give me a military position, for Zhang Kui, the patriarch can be described as a reborn parent! Zhang Kui was grateful. ”
After hearing this, the patriarch's eyes narrowed, and he replied:
"You have to be prepared, once you take this road, you will be the enemy of the entire Yan Kingdom, if you win with the Wei Kingdom and destroy the Yan Kingdom,"
At this, he paused suddenly, and his face showed a look of struggle, as if an unbearable memory came to his mind, and after a moment, he took a breath and continued:
"According to your talent, in the battle of the Northern Expedition, you will definitely make countless meritorious contributions, if you destroy the Yan Kingdom, you will become famous, and even famous all over the world, but once you can't defeat the Yan Kingdom, the guards are defeated and retreat, you will also bear the infamy of the ages, and be ridiculed by the historians, can you bear these things?"
Zhang Kui's eyes flashed, but he didn't hesitate, and replied directly: "Yes." ”
There was a dead silence, and after a long time, the patriarch smiled, turned his head to look at Zhang Kui, and said, "Zhang Kui, you are still young, and you don't know the pain you endure alone after leaving the country, let alone you."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Kui suddenly speak and said coldly: "Those are not important, what I want is that even if it can't be famous, it will be remembered for thousands of years." ”
The patriarch was shocked when he heard this, and silently turned his head to look at Zhang Kui.
The north wind suddenly became stronger, and with a whistling sound across the deep valley, blowing the clothes of the two men, and it sounded fiercely, and the candle flame in the lantern flickered a few times, and finally with a silent moan. The groan was extinguished.
The two of them fell back into darkness, and the patriarch suddenly had an illusion in an instant, as if the two had not been in the light all along.
It seems that he has never really seen Zhang Kui clearly.
What did he want? And I am not a person all the way!
It was as if someone was in the dark, sighing silently.
Between heaven and earth, the night is like ink, and the boundless darkness envelops the earth, and there is a beauty that makes the heart roar and shout.
It's a mood you don't experience during the day.
In the dark, no one lit the lamp, and the atmosphere between the two seemed to be a little dull, and no one spoke for a long time.
After a long time, the patriarch sighed faintly and said with a wry smile: "I still underestimate you." ”
As if a chuckle came from the mouth of a deceitful man in the darkness, he whispered:
"The patriarch has won the award, I just don't want to waste a lot of time in vain, I walked in this world for a while, but I didn't leave anything, not even known to the world,"
After saying this, he lowered his body to light the lamp, and in the candlelight, his face was uncertain, but he could see a trace of fanaticism: "When a husband stands in the world, he should learn to soar eagles and fly high, how can he be like a bird, stick to the insects and grass seeds, and live in the world!" Patriarch," he said, looking at the patriarch with his fingers on the top of his head, in a proud look:
"The eagle flying in the sky, how can he care about the opinion of the bird's nest below! Mind the sky, only fly! ”
After a while, he calmed down, withdrew his hand, looked at the patriarch and chuckled: "Patriarch, what do you say?" ”
The patriarch looked at Zhang Kui's uncertain face reflected in the candlelight, and a complicated and inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, puzzled, admired, awakened, and even had a trace of regret.
He nodded and said to Zhang Kui: "What you said is right, since this is the case, pack up, let's set off as much as possible, go to Dingbian City as soon as possible, and meet the world-famous Lord Wanyan for a while?" ”
Zhang Kui bowed down and responded, "Yes." ”
In the dark night, under the faint candlelight, the shadows of the two people seemed to sway and coincide in the wind, as if they were different figures.
An important border town, in the city of Dingbian.
Wang Huaiyi, the deputy general of the Middle Route Army, took a deep breath, calmed down, and slowly walked into the general's mansion, where the main general Wan Yan Shuo was.
Along the way, he didn't dare to raise his head, as if he had done something wrong, waiting to be reprimanded by Wan Yanshuo.
Shangguan Yu built this mansion extremely luxurious, the spacious mansion has many rooms, and the road is winding and winding, if no one leads it, if you don't pay attention to it, you will get lost.
And now, Wan Yanshuo has been busy with official business in the past few days, neglecting to take care of it, and the mansion has slowly shown a dilapidated appearance, and many places have fallen on a layer of yellow sand, which looks very desolate from a distance.
This is true for one government, and so for one country.
He sighed, put away his feelings, and quickened his pace.
In the council hall, Wan Yanshuo was already sitting there waiting for him.
Seeing this, Wang Huaiyi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said, "My subordinates have seen adults!" ”
Wan Yanshuo smiled slightly, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "General Wang sit." ”
Wang Huaiyi obeyed the order and stood up and sat down beside Wan Yanshuo.
Wan Yan Shuo was just about to continue to look at the file in his hand, but he glanced at Wang Huaiyi's face and seemed to be a little uneasy, so he put the file down, looked at Wang Huaiyi, and said with a smile:
"What's going on, look at your sad face."
Wang Huaiyi's eyes flashed, he suddenly stood up, and said to Wan Yan Shuo: "My lord, during the routine night inspection of his subordinates in the past few days, he found some things, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”
After hearing this, Yan Shuo leaned back and said, "General Wang, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
Wang Huaiyi nodded, for some reason, his mouth was a little dry, and he groaned for a long time before he said astringently:
"My lord, my subordinates have found that the soldiers guarding the city are changing almost every night in the past few days, and my subordinates are suspicious and want to come forward to interrogate every time, but they are stopped and not allowed to approach, they, they say that they are on your orders"
Wan Yanshuo's eyes flashed, he turned his neck, moved his muscles, looked out the window for a while, and said slowly: "Oh? Is it? When was it? ”
Wang Huaiyi swallowed his saliva and said, "It's been three days in a row." ”
After hearing this, Yan Shuo chuckled, shifted his gaze to Wang Huaiyi, and said, "It's been three days, and now it's only reported to me, I wonder if General Wang has sent someone to deliver this news to Pingyan?" ”
Wang Huaiyi's heart sank after hearing this, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't dare!" ”
Wan Yan Shuo waved his hand, sighed, shook his head and said: "You are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, which is understandable, but I told you before that you will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside, how I march and arrange the city defense, I have my own reason, what you said is right, I arranged the change of the city defense army, as for the reason, you will know it then." ”
Wang Huaiyi nodded, took a step back, and remained silent.
Wan Yanshuo looked at him, smiled, and said slowly: "General Wang, there are some things, before you can say it, it is not the intention of alienating you, I hope you can understand." ”
Wang Huaiyi's face showed a look of panic, and he hurriedly said: "My subordinates don't dare!" ”
Wan Yanshuo stared, nodded, and said, "This is the best, our army is about to march north in the near future, have you done all the arrangements?" ”
After hearing this, Wang Huaiyi nodded and responded: "My subordinates have already sent someone to respond, and in less than ten days, the grain and grass should arrive." ”
Wan Yan Shuo smiled faintly and said, "Okay, if you prepare again, it's time to leave, and now when the cold wind is biting, go north to Zhongliang and lead out the main force of Yan Kingdom." ”
Wang Huaiyi nodded, and was just about to speak, but before he could speak, he heard a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the door.
The two hurriedly looked up, only to see a dusty soldier staggering in, and as soon as they arrived at the two, they "pounced" and knelt on the ground, kowtowed: "Qiqi two generals, something happened!" ”
Wan Yanshuo frowned, and before he could speak, he saw Wang Huaiyi stand up suddenly, looked at the soldier and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”R1058
