Many years later, in countless dreams, I still dreamed that I was lying in a pile of corpses, looking like a corpse, in the bloody storm and the dense forest of the flowers on the island of Chami, the rain stars and the blood and fire splashed everywhere, and the sun seemed to ooze blood when the rain passed, and the sea was red and clear. www.biquge.infoDark clouds lingered between the volcanic peaks of Shami Island and Sanssouci Harbour, and from time to time a shower of rain brought by a rustle, washing the traces of the fierce battle, falling over the towering trees, strangulation vines, and Shami oleanders, and finally falling on my face with a clatter, and also on the corpse next to me, bleeding everywhere, and I looked up anxiously, as if I wanted to turn into a koi fish and open my mouth to the sky to suck the rain from the bridge of my nose, but I could not open my mouth anyway.

The drama always says that when making a choice between life and death, people's hearts will surge with infinite noble feelings, or deep thoughts for their parents, wives and children, and the drama also says that after the cruelty of the conquest, the famous generals who came out of the pile of dead people will often dream back at midnight, return to the realm of bleeding and drifting, cry blood and wake up, and see the souls of the dead who were killed under the knife asking for their lives. However, I did not fulfill these dramas at all. When I was on the verge of life and death, I didn't have time to have any sentiments, but I just held the belief to persevere, live and the effort not to give up, not that I didn't have those majestic or obsessive emotions and emotions, but at that time, I really didn't have time to think. As for the midnight dream, I have never had a nightmare, because almost every day is hard, most of the time I snore all night, and I have no dreams all night, that is, I dream, and often this night, I dream that I am lying in the corpse, or my tombstone is buried in the wild grass together with the tombstone of the comrades who once fought side by side, and on this Shami Island, with the morning light shimmering with a faint blue, until one day, the dry bones have rotted, the tomb carvings have been broken, and the sea breeze is still the same, and the seagulls are still soaring in the blue sky, The dream was so peaceful to me that when I woke up, only my eyes were wet, and I didn't have a lot of sweat on my forehead. Come to think of it, this is an ordinary dream for real people in the army who have experienced life and death and war.

With the dim moonlight floating in the east curtain, I woke up from my dream, walked down the densely woven bamboo mat that was spread under me, walked to the table, lit the fire fold, lit the candle in the tent, and put back the simple lampshade as thin as bright paper on the outside of the lamp and candle, pulled out the scimitar and dialed the wick, and the wick crackled. I lifted the copper teapot, shook it, but it was empty, saw that there was no water in the tent, and opened the curtain and asked the sentry outside the tent to help me get some fresh water, he carried the teapot and walked away, and came back with the teapot and an iron bucket, I looked at it, it was full of fresh water and a pot of tea, so I smiled and thanked him. This little sentry smiled like Sheng Zheng, who Prince Ning met for the first time outside the account two or three years ago, and there was a small pear vortex next to his round face, and said softly, "General Fu doesn't have to be polite, but he is sent by dispatch."

I thanked him again, and then I turned back to the tent, drank the tea, stared at the wick of the lamp and candle for a while, and finally walked to the bed again, and felt the wax pill secret letter under the pillow and opened it. I read it by the candlelight.

It's Huang Chun's secret letter. This letter is very long, written in Huzhou plain silk with a very soft texture, and Huang Chun's handwriting is very small, dense but very aesthetically covered with a plain silk. Among them, in addition to the fact that I contacted each other and subdued the spy who infiltrated Luo, the Yamaoka Heiro he subdued was one of the samurai of the Kuroda family, the first strategist under the current general's account, so he was quite literate, and when he came to the camp and was captured, he chanted a song "A dynasty plays nine heavens, and the sunset shines on the Chaozhou Road eight thousand." If you want to eliminate the evils for the Shengming, you will be wrapped in decay and cherish the last years. Where is Yunheng Qinling's home? The snow hugs the blue pass, and the horse does not move forward. If you come far away, you should be intentional, so that you can collect my bone miasma riverside. "It's probably what he said in his heart, so many of us took turns to inquire to nothing, I intended to kill him, but I didn't want Huang Chun to stop and save him later, I let him listen to some false news and wanted him to go back and do the opposite, who knew that he secretly and deliberately let him go. The scout who followed him said that instead of returning to the Navy, Yamaoka had gone to meet his lover, the military prostitute, Atong, in a stalactite natural cave on the atolls next to Hayama Island. They worshipped God together, swore an oath, and prepared to commit suicide by seppuku after a night of love. Who knew that at the last moment, Huang Chun rushed to stop him again, born into death, died into life, and after a few times, accompanied by such confidants, Shangang finally surrendered to Huang Chun. told him that because the robbery was supposed to lure the enemy to death, if he didn't die, it would be difficult to return to Luo Weishuishi, so he agreed with his confidante Ah Tong early in the morning that if he could not die, he asked Biyi to fly in the sky, and arranged for her to wait here for food and water, and so on. Later, he told the many factions and crises in the country in detail, and informed all the Luo Wei strongholds that were still in the shadows on Yushan Island. And now, the Liu family and the children of the Wu family, whom I drove into Luo Wei to denounce spies, have also settled down, so I will start to unite the eldest princess to suppress the spy forces in Luo Wei, and use General Luo Wei's newly acquired young son to wantonly kill heroes, so as to do something so as to cause internal division, so as to profit from it.

It's just that in addition to this matter, it was very unexpected that Huang Chun also told me a lot of the situation he found in Beiming, such as General Feng Wenqing, General Ji Xisheng, Prince Ning's uncle Song Zhongfang, Xing Qiuyan's mother's brother and others are all bandits Zhao'an, and Beiming has also wantonly carried out sea looting for the initial accumulation of capital, and its looting objects naturally include Luo Wei, Xinyue, Persia, Jin Russia, Semu and other merchant fleets, and even some of Beiming's own merchant ships, but after Beiming officially established the country and issued a decree, he turned to join the army. The business of doing business has turned into a serious gentleman. When I looked at it carefully and slowly burned the plain silk letterhead, my heart was even more strange. Huang Chun has a calm personality, and is deeply strategic, rarely has any cynical words, and rarely sighs about this capital accumulation, and rarely wants to talk to me about Xinyue, but it seems that this letter deeply implies another kind of feelings, between the lines, something that touches my heart is rising, and I am quite irritable.

When the last bit of paper turned into green smoke and burned out, I raised the lamp and candle, held it and slowly moved it to the side of the bookcase, and began to write a reply letter to Huang Chun and Qin Qing until the sky was getting brighter, and then I sealed the letterhead. When I was about to sleep for a while, I could hear the horn of the whole army blowing fiercely, and the sound of swords and soldiers in Hong Kong was loud. I hurriedly got up, but before I could put on it, I lifted the curtain and asked the sentry, "What's the matter?" ”

"It seems that there is a raid on the naval warship, in the prismatic fortified harbor on the outside of our Sanssouci Harbor, I don't know why. Are our people going to help? ”

"You go to General Qin Qiong first to find out the news," I said three steps and two steps out of the tent, and was about to go straight to Sheng Zheng's tent, but he saw a green robe with a fluttering crown belt, and only a Jiao Shark gold silk soft armor vest taken from the Luo Wei warrior was wrapped outside, and Sheng Zheng, who had no other protection, was already running in a hurry not far away, so he hurried to the Chinese army tent together.

When more than a dozen big oil lamps were extinguished in the tent of the Chinese army in the early morning, General Feng Wenqing still did not organize the army, and as always, the plans were very scattered, in order to avoid problems with one team of men and horses or affect other teams when they worked carefully, so there were already twenty sentries outside the door to surround the city five meters away, and the account seemed to be deliberating, waiting for General Ding and General Ma to come out. Zhu Yinghong, who was the deputy general of the Chinese army at the time, directly named me and Sheng Zheng into the account, and the rest of the people were still waiting outside the door.

"The two of you still bring 5,000 people, divided into two Xinming ships, and go to Liudao to meet General Ji Xisheng. Hurry up. As soon as he entered the tent, he couldn't help but say, and General Feng Wenqing gave an order. Seeing that the two of us were a little confused, Zhu Yinghong next to him hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "This morning, Luo Wei once again sent three sail artillery warships to attack our sailors with human flesh fire dragon bullets, and injured the soldiers who were supervising the repair of the warships in our fortifications, and sent a palm seal eunuch outside, more than 400 military craftsmen were seriously injured, and more than 100 people died, which is very hateful. We'd better get rid of their strongholds as soon as possible. General Ji Xisheng had sent people to say that he had already broken free from the seizure of the remnants of Luo Wei and was holding on to the northern part of Ryukyu Island to wait for reinforcements, and General Feng had a comprehensive plan to wipe out the remnants of the Luo Wai Sailor Division on Ryukyu Island who might launch a suicide attack on our sailors again, so he ordered the two of you to go to meet General Ji Xisheng and attack the Ryukyu Sailor from the left flank. After saying that, he looked at General Feng and asked him with his eyes if what he had said was appropriate. After General Feng gave him a look, he opened the clasp of his breastplate, took out a letter from it, and handed it to me.

When I opened it, it was General Ji Xisheng's writing about his location and how he was captured and extricated, and it was a letter asking for help. However, presumably General Feng wanted to use this opportunity to ask for help, and Qi Zheng was in harmony with each other, and once again took out a Luo Wei stronghold on Liudao.

When he was looking at it, General Feng Wenqing took out the order letter and handed it over, "You can determine the specific battle plan by yourself, but the soldiers are fast. Ben Shuai uses the two of you, but also because the two of you rescued the prince that day to become famous, and Ben Shuai is not allowed to have a reputation under the fact that it is difficult to be a deputy general, so I hope to use the two of you more and sharpen more, it is also the meaning of tempering, I hope you will live up to the painstaking efforts of Ben Shuai. After speaking, he looked at me and Sheng Zheng meaningfully, I understood that this was what we meant, Fang hurriedly took the token and said, "The last general will not give up until he dies." ”

Sheng Zheng seemed to be a little hesitant, after all, the introduction of the battle situation was very sparse, which was a little different from Prince Ning or Prince Jing's habit of unifying the overall situation of the whole army, so he naturally had some doubts, but when he saw me give him a look, he seemed to know in his heart, and he seemed to cheer me up, and said, "The last general will not be dishonored." I don't know how many men and horses the general will arrange for the last general, how to attack, and I hope the general will show it. ”

"Five thousand people," General Feng Wenqing sat as tall as a pine, standing still, not looking at us, but only said loudly, "but give you two Xinming ships, you don't have to sail this time, and you must act cheaply in case of emergency." The commander also has to arrange the next team, if there is no objection, you can go and prepare for the battle. ”

"The last general commands." Saying that, Sheng Zheng and I saluted together and said goodbye.

The color of the near mountains of the morning sun is dark into the dark lacquer, the distant mountains are as pale as mica, and the white bamboo, strangled vine, rainforest beech and summer oleander are all brilliant colors in the mist, and the smell of summer heat is full of people, making people forget that this is the early winter season of Beiming in November. Sheng Zheng turned a handsome face to the side, the son was like jade, the cat-like keen and shining eyes, the body was shrouded in morning mist, the handsome was spotless, and the voice was clear and moving, but he said to me gloomily: "This General Feng is really a commander who can't figure out his thoughts." ”

I was thinking about the situation in Ji Xisheng's letter, and only comforted him: "General Feng also has his difficulties, after all, he is not the prince of Beiming, although he is the commander, but after all, the seniority is also limited, and the situation in the imperial court will inevitably affect the army, Xia Mi garrison, and the factions in the army are different, and it is difficult to surrender all at once, so it is also a good thing to be prepared, we just have to do our own thing." ”

"It's just ......," Sheng Zheng looked a little pale, "It's just that why did we suddenly attack urgently?" ”

"I don't know," I spread out my hands and shook Sheng Zheng's long fingers with one hand, "Maybe it was because of this sneak attack that General Feng suddenly made up his mind, or guessed that the Luo Wei Secret Whistle Ninja would find out about this sneak attack, I guess we are busy cleaning up the mess, and there will be no new action for a while, but General Feng wants to surprise him and attack his unpreparedness, let's take this move." ”

I looked at Sheng Zheng's face with some irritability, and couldn't help but shake his hand again, the hot and humid temperature bloomed between the palms of the two, and his complexion gradually eased. He only smiled bitterly and said, "I hope we are not the people General Feng suspects." ”

After we had reached the sweltering cabin and arranged the ships and personnel, Sheng Zheng had been habitually pacing on the deck and thinking, while I sat in the scout sentry chair of the scout sentry, staring at the charts and the letterhead of General Ji Xisheng in a daze. The order to pull the anchor and set sail has been given, and the peaks and valleys are bumpy, but I seem to have become accustomed to it, and I don't realize it. Sheng Zheng finished the team, and inspected the rotation of various positions on one side, and the situation of the sail and helmsman, before coming to my side.

After entering the cabin together, Sheng Zheng opened the cotton belt wrapped in the wound on his hand, unscrewed a bottle of soju in the cabin that he had snatched last time, and cleaned the bullet wound that had not fully recovered due to the summer heat. Then he couldn't help but untie the soft armor cover and placket on my back, and wipe it down. He also put on a layer of peppermint-scented plaster in the jade bottle he carried, and then helped me wrap the wound again. "This Xiami Island, the weather is extremely hot, once you are injured, it is quite difficult to heal, many of the wounded soldiers under my command are dying of wounds and ulcers, General Fu himself must care, don't think that a small injury, don't be careful."

His voice was soft, and from the light in the cabin, the window was already glowing with brilliant gold. The golden color hit his long eyelashes, and I couldn't help but think of Qin Qing and the unborn child. Thinking of this, a warm current surged through my chest, I looked at Sheng Zheng in front of me, met his concerned gaze, and said deeply, "Thank you." ”

Sheng Zheng frowned, he made a gesture of booing in his hand, and quickly ran out and put his ear on the side of the boat, and I also urged my internal strength to listen as much as I could, but I didn't hear it very clearly. But seeing Sheng Zheng gesticulating, I would also learn him to put his ear to the side of the boat, and immediately heard the sound of an underwater boat. I couldn't help but feel a tense in my heart, and my hands were clasped tightly on the side of the boat.
