Chapter 22: The Eagle Looks at the Wolf
When the smoke cleared, Jiang Wei led the Qiang people to quickly pour into the valley and push open the gate of the Wei army. The Qiang people have not been educated in etiquette, and they are bloodthirsty by nature and afraid of the soft and the hard. When they saw the Wei army lying on the ground and dying, they immediately rushed in and pulled out their scimitars and cut off their heads. Seeing Jiang Wei's serious expression, Cherrigi knew that his little brother must have angered a certain nerve of this demon, and immediately shouted: "Stop it all for me, no one dares to use a knife for me if there is no general." ”
Jiang Wei stepped forward and said loudly: "Except for the generals and colonel-level officers of the Wei Army, the rest of the knives give them a good time." Jiang Wei knew the barbaric behavior of the Qiang people, and it was one of their interests to abuse those who had lost their ability to resist, and he didn't want this group of iron-clad men to be insulted.
With that, he walked quickly to the Chinese military camp where Sun Li was located amid the wild laughter of the Qiang people.
Sun Li has followed Zhang He to fight in Mobei for many years, and his physical fitness is naturally nothing to say. In the entire Wei army camp, most of the people died of purple lips and poisoning, some people closed their eyes and were unconscious, and only about two or three hundred people were still sober, and Sun Li was one of them.
Sun Li sat on the ground in despair, and his ears were filled with the wails of the Bingzhou army like killing pigs. Five thousand wolf riders were joined by wolves, and the elite troops that Emperor Wu personally canonized before his death were defeated so easily. He was unwilling, and the army did not lose in the head-to-head confrontation, but was defeated on the left side of the door.
But he was defeated after all!
The cruel truth gave Sun Li a slap in the face. He once followed Cao Xiunan to reject Eastern Wu, established Wuxun and returned to the dynasty to serve as Shangshu. And because of his outspokenness, he was valued by the emperor as a confidant, but he didn't expect to sink into the sand in this small street pavilion, recalling that when he attacked Xianbei with General Zhang He in the north, he was still full of ambition and high spirits. Who would have thought that it would end up like this.
The man let out a long sigh, his despair enveloping him deeply, and he drew his sword with his backhand, and wiped it from his neck as soon as he closed his eyes.
"Why should the general take his own life." The right hand holding the sword was pulled by a huge force, Sun Li only felt that his arm was sore, numb and swollen, and the sword in his hand had been taken off and fell heavily to the ground. Sun Li opened his eyes, cheered himself up, and said loudly: "Jiang Wei, if you are a person, let me die a martyr for the country." ”
Jiang Wei tied the man's hands behind his back with a rope, and laughed loudly: "I thought so when I was caught by Zhuge Liang (how could it be), but I soon found that life is more important than honor and dignity. As long as there is a breath left, the shame can be washed away. Sun Li struggled and roared: "You shameless traitor to the enemy still have the face to live? Phew. ”
Jiang Wei sneered and kicked Sun Li in the chest, so painful that he almost lost his breath. "Soon, your good friend Cao Rui, his descendants will suffer a catastrophe, and the initiator of this tragedy is a person like you who is full of etiquette and morality." After that, Jiang Wei asked Cherrigie to take strict care of Sun Li, and then turned around and left.
A massacre without suspense finally ended before dawn. The Wei army of more than 4,000 and the wolf cavalry of the state were wiped out, and they never escaped a single one. Jiang Wei once again reversed the tide of the battle, which can be described as a complete victory.
When the first rays of sunlight broke, the Shu army finally cleaned up the battlefield. Cherrigi ran to report to Jiang Wei one by one, overjoyed in his heart, those Wei people who were arrogant to themselves were still defeated by Jiang Wei? The strong on the grassland are respected, and Cherrigi now even feels that he should worship Jiang Wei as the boss.
"General, our army won a complete victory in this battle, capturing more than 6,000 war horses. (The Wei cavalry is equipped with one person and two horses as standard, as the name suggests, that is, one person rides two war horses alternately to speed up the march) During the sweep, many enemy troops tried to resist, and all of them were beheaded for public display. According to your instructions, we have captured more than 20 lieutenants and three tooth keepers. ”
Now that Sun Li has arrived, Jiang Wei is not afraid that the Qiang people will kill the wrong people again, so he ordered Cheriji to persuade these generals to surrender. He leaned into Cherrigi's ear and said, "Remember, kill those who promise on the spot." Then ask again to behead the stubborn one. "He needs soldiers, neither capricious wallgrass nor stubborn hard stones.
Cherrigi nodded, and was about to turn away. Jiang Wei stopped him, thought for a moment, and then ordered: "You ask the Qiang brothers to strip off the military uniforms of the Wei soldiers and put them on, so that the army looks like Wei troops at a glance." ”
"Yes," Cherrigi nodded, and walked away. Jiang Wei immediately sighed and began to think about how to get rid of the golden cicada next. It's time to return to the Qishan camp.
In a few moments, there was a burst of snoring in the Wei army's camp, and the Qiang people were naturally too tired to be bloodied all day. But Sun Li couldn't fall asleep for a long time, he was not worried about his life, but Jiang Wei's words made him sniff out a hint of conspiracy. He suddenly thought of a person, the Martial Emperor had said that this person looked at the wolf again.
At this moment, Luoyang, the eastern capital of Luoyang, eight hundred miles away from the street pavilion, also has a person who has not yet fallen asleep. The sky gradually glowed with a white shimmer, and there was still silence in Luoyang City. In the huge Luoyang City, only the Taifu Sima Yi's mansion is brightly lit, and the wide door plaque is hung with white plain silk, although the heavy door is closed, the old man's mournful wail still comes clearly from the crack in the door.
"Woo...... My Chunhua, what should I do after you leave? ”
"Chunhua, my wife, why did you leave me alone and die alone."
"Chunhua, I'm sorry for you, I didn't accompany you well."
Outside the mourning hall, there were two young men with extremely similar appearances and figures, raising eyebrows and slender, warm as jade, both of them were first-class beautiful men.
The young man with a slightly childish face asked, "Brother, why did my father cry so sadly?" In the past eight years, my mother's health has deteriorated day by day, and I have never seen him feed a mouthful of medicine. ”
"Shhh The young man with a slightly gloomy face said, with a faint killing aura between his eyebrows.
"Go down first." He drank away the two maids who were standing at the door. Only then did he continue: "Father is naturally happy in his heart, but do you want the neighbors to know? His indifference to his mother is not a matter of one or two days, everyone knows it. Because of this, mourning for his deceased wife all night can show his father's affection. ”
"Master, that's enough." The old man kneeling on the futon suddenly stopped screaming, and his voice was cold and terrifying. The old man slowly got up and walked out of the mourning hall, and the majestic momentum made people breathe suffocating. I only heard him say: "Your brother is not sensible yet, it would be better a few years earlier." ”
The two young men both looked frightened and said goodbye to their father.
The old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned weirdly, and his eagle-like sharp gaze pierced people's hearts.
