Zhang Quan and they don't look over, of course Ma Yan knows that these guys must be secretly wiping their tears, squinting slightly, for these generals who are brought up by themselves, Ma Yan doesn't know how to comfort them, these generals are subordinates and nephews in his heart, and now he has to leave so many people, he is really a little reluctant.

Killed the Mongolian Tartars all his life, but in the end he died at the hands of the Mongolian Tartars.

Ma Yan reluctantly stretched out his hand, patted Zhang Quan's hand pressed on the side of the bed, and smiled slightly: "The old man Rong Ma has been handsome all his life, he has killed I don't know how many Mongolian Tartars, I have seen the arrogance of the Mongolian Tartars in Dali, and I have also seen them flee in a hurry like lost dogs, and I have seen different customs in the South Seas, and even when I am old, I am still fighting with the Mongolian Tartars in this land that is thousands of miles away and the Chinese ancestors have never conquered, and I have killed the Mongolian Tartars for a lifetime, and it can be regarded as the final victory." In this life, there is no life in vain. ”

"Old General!" Even Zhang Gui, who is actually only a colleague with Ma Yan, couldn't help but be moved.

If there is anything outstanding in Ma Yan's life, it is probably only to kill the Tartars, but this alone is enough. When Ma Yan was young, he fought in Guangnan and guarded the back road for the Southern Song Dynasty; When he was old, he still led the army to fight in all directions, helped the Ming Dynasty to conquer the South Seas, and took a lone army to go overseas, which can definitely be said to be a great achievement.

What's more, Ma Yan alone brought out generals such as Lou Yong and Zhang Quan, who can take charge of themselves, and their contribution to the military cannot be ignored. For such a courageous, courageous, intelligent and wise old man and old general, Zhang Gui sincerely admires.

"Bochang." Ma Yan raised his head slightly, he did not call Zhang Gui according to his official position before, but called his cousin, indicating that Ma Yan was now talking to Zhang Gui as an elder.

Zhang Gui hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand respectfully: "The old general commands." ”

Ma Yan nodded: "Bochang, there is no way for the old man to go back alive, as soon as the old man leaves, everything here will be handed over to you, and the brothers of the army division and the navy will be brought back safely." As for the old man, just burn it and sprinkle it into the sea, old man······ Ahem······ Waiting for the day when you come back! ”

"The old general must not say that!" Zhang Gui hurriedly pressed Ma Yan's hand, "Don't worry, the old general is not terminally ill, the old general only needs to ······ at ease."

"Bochang!" Ma Yan's voice raised slightly, already full of anger, "Bochang, don't I know what the situation I am? The old man has lived a long time in this life, and he is content now. The general will inevitably die in battle, and the old man is still blessed to be able to support it until now. The old man usually takes General Han Fubo's horse aid as an example, General Fubo's horse leather shroud is returned, what if the old man is buried in this foreign country, not to mention that the old man also knows that this piece of world is my Ming sooner or later! ”

Ma Yan's call was very fast, quite hurried, his cheeks were already red, and Zhang Gui nodded again and again in fright: "Old general, slowly, slowly, the younger generations all understand, all follow the old general's orders!" ”

"Remember ······" Ma Yan grabbed Zhang Gui and Zhang Quan's hands, the old man's hands trembled slightly, and he didn't feel much strength, but Zhang Gui and Zhang Quan both knew that the old general had exhausted all his strength at this time. The two of them looked solemn and looked at the old man who was already the last to return to the light.

"Remember, kill back!" Ma Yan's voice rose suddenly, making Zhang Gui and the others feel shocked.

"Kill back!" The old man didn't know where the strength came from, Huo Ran's eyes widened, and his voice became louder and louder, "Kill back!" ”

The voice turned to slowly lower, and Ma Yan's hand slowly slipped out of Zhang Gui and Zhang Quan's hands.

"Kill······ Kill ······ back" The old general's voice gradually dissipated.

"Old General!" Zhang Quan shouted, and the generals who had already surrounded him bowed their heads at the same time, not wanting to see the scene in front of them. Although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, there was still a cone pain in their hearts when it really came to this moment.

"Thousands of miles of expedition, force to break the dead; The light soldiers fought fiercely and died as they deserved. Zhang Gui sighed, looked at the old man's calm face, stretched out his hand to cover Ma Yan's face, and closed the old man's wide eyes, "The old general can rest assured, he will live up to his trust!" ”

"The old general can rest assured, he will live up to his trust!" A group of Ming army generals stood still and shouted loudly.

Everyone's posture is extraordinarily upright.

The Hui doctors standing on the side subconsciously glanced at each other with complicated expressions.

Apparently they realized that the departure of this old man had led the relationship between the two countries towards an even more irretrievable abyss.

Is the roar and roar of the dragon from the east really something the Ilkhanate can bear? And the Hui people, who were originally vassals of the Mongols, were really necessary to follow the Mongols into this bottomless abyss?

"Everyone!" Zhang Gui stretched out his hand and gently lowered the curtains on both sides of the bed to block Ma Yan's corpse, "The Si people have passed away, and we and other living people should not delay the business because of excessive grief." Before leaving, the old general instructed a certain commander-in-chief of the army division and the navy, and that a certain should assume this responsibility. The top priority at the moment is to properly handle the aftermath of the veteran general. This place is thousands of miles away from the South Seas, and it is even more from the south and north of the world from the Ming Dynasty, plus the climate is hot, so whether you bring the old general back or stay here, you should mourn as soon as possible and cremate according to the old general's orders. ”

After a pause, Zhang Gui turned his head to look at Zhang Quan, Zhang Quan was the commander of the First Army, and under the condition that Ma Quan was the general of the Jingjiang Army and the leader of the Jingjiang Army, Zhang Quan was naturally the second person, and now although Zhang Gui gave the order, he still had to consult Zhang Quan's idea.

Zhang Gui didn't want to be kind-hearted but saddled with the infamy of meddling in the land division, not to mention that what the imperial court wanted to see was the cooperation of the army division and the navy, but it was definitely not integrated.

"General, don't hesitate." Zhang Quan nodded.

Zhang Gui said slowly: "The old general is the pillar of the country, His Majesty once said that there is the old general Ma in the south and the old general Gao in the north, supporting my Ming Dynasty." When General Ma Lao died, he should have been honored by the whole army, and at the same time immediately reported the matter to Nanyang and the imperial court, first, to ask His Majesty's opinion, and secondly, to ask Nanjing to be prepared. ”

"Now please ask Your Majesty if it is ······" A general couldn't help but frown.

Zhang Quan also responded: "We don't have so much effort now." ”

"This ······" Zhang Gui hesitated for a moment and bowed his head slightly, "The general will not be affected by the king's life outside, let alone the sea and sky." In this case, then the opinion of a certain can listen to what the old general said, but not all of it, the ashes of the old general are divided into two halves, half of which is sprinkled in the sea off this Basra, and half of which is brought back to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise there is no way to explain to His Majesty and the government and the opposition. ”

"It makes sense." Zhang Quan said in a deep voice, "Zhongshan can't just enshrine the old general's clothed tomb. ”

Zhongshan is a place dedicated to the heroes and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty, this time the old general Ma was not protected, resulting in the old general indirectly dying on the battlefield, Zhang Quan and Zhang Gui were a little panicked in their hearts, if Ye Yingwu knew that he didn't even bring back the bones of the old general, I am afraid that the two of them would really not be able to eat and go around.

Zhang Gui nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a sentry scout rushed to the door: "Enlightened generals, the cavalry of the Mongol Tatars is three hundred miles away from here, and there are two other teams of 1,000 people coming from the coastal direction, I am afraid they are also rushing to this Basra." ”

"It's coming so fast!" Zhang Gui frowned, and turned his head to look at Zhang Quan, who also had a solemn look on his face, "Although the Mongolian Tatars are arriving one after another, once they are assembled, we will have to go around without food, and the top priority is to quickly determine how to make the Mongolian Tatars eat a lesson, and then retreat from Basra." ”

"We retreated from Karbala easily, but now it's not so easy to get us out of Basra!" Zhang Quan stomped his feet, "So-and-so, let's order all the soldiers and horses, since the two thousand-strong Mongolian Tatars are coming along the seaside, don't think about having good fruits to eat." ”

"A certain treasure ship will be dispatched to support you, even if there is really a fraud, you can support it." Zhang Gui stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Quan's shoulder, "Let's give the Mongolian Tartars a little surprise in this battle." ”

Zhang Quan exhaled lightly, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the low-hanging curtain.

Old general, you are too ordinary to go like this, so you will take the head of the Mongolian Tartar to pay tribute for you, and you will wait.

————————————————-

In the city of Nanjing, the night is as cool as water, and the stars in the sky are shining with dazzling light.

The city of Nanjing on a winter night is already chilly, and the water in the pond even has a thin layer of ice. The trees in the garden are also gently swaying in the wind. Because the weather is getting colder, of course, there are not many people who stay outside at night, and occasionally they are in a hurry.

But fortunately, there are lanterns in the corners of the cloister in Miyagi, which illuminate the road, and the dots are like stars, so even if you walk alone, you will not be afraid.

Ye Yingwu rubbed his hands and walked through the corridor towards the harem, the cold of winter in this era made him still a little uncomfortable.

"Husband, don't freeze." Seeing Ye Yingwu coming head-on, Gesang, who was standing at the entrance of the Water Pavilion, hurriedly greeted him with several maidservants, took the robe from the handmaiden and carefully draped it on Ye Yingwu's body.

Ye Yingwu was stunned for a moment: "Gesang, why are you here?" ”

"The husband returned late in the imperial study, and the queen planned to come over to greet her in person, but after all, the queen was pregnant with Liujia and her body was delicate, so the concubine volunteered to come over." Gesang said with a smile, "The soup has been boiled in the imperial dining room, and the concubine has been placed in the Nuanqing Pavilion, can the husband go over?" ”

"I'm afraid you're the only one in the harem who is still in the mood to run around outside on a cold day." Ye Yingwu gently scraped Gesang's upturned nose, what he said was the truth, the concubines in the harem are generally delicate, although Ye Yingwu urges them to move every day, but after all, a healthy body and bones can not be exercised in a day or two, and this kind of cold weather is probably only Gesang can stand it.

Gesang chuckled lightly and stretched out his hand to button Ye Yingwu's coat: "Although it is cold this day, it is much worse than the snow-capped mountains of the Tubo Plateau, the concubine has grown up in the snow field since she was a child, of course she is not afraid of the cold." What's more, husband, you see, today's stars are exceptionally bright, I originally thought that I would not be able to see such bright stars without Tubo, but I didn't expect that today I would fulfill this wish. ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned for a moment: "What, homesick?" ”

Gesang wrinkled his small nose, was silent for a moment, raised his head again to look at Ye Yingwu, and nodded solemnly.

"Homesick ······" Ye Yingwu muttered and repeated, subconsciously looking back at the sky full of stars, although Tubo is far away from Gesang, it is a place that can be reached after all, and he has been in this era for several years unconsciously, and I am afraid that there is no way to go back and return to that home.

Gesang hurriedly waved his hand: "The concubine body is just talking about ······"

Ye Yingwu gently took her into his arms: "It's okay, it's not easy to be homesick, when you want to go back, go back and see, although Tubo is far away, but it is only a few months to go back and forth, if you have time, I really want to go with you to see it." ”

"Really?!" Gesang trembled violently, staring at Ye Yingwu with a pair of starry eyes.

Ye Yingwu chuckled: "What's the matter, if you don't want to go back, you ······ Not! ”

Gesang was already tall, stood on tiptoe slightly, and kissed Ye Yingwu directly on the lips, hugging Ye Yingwu tightly, not knowing what to say.

Reaching out and gently brushing Gesang's hair, Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "Look at your excitement, the stars in the sky today are really good, are you interested in enjoying the stars together?" ”

"Whatever the husband says, the concubine must accompany him." Gesang said excitedly.

If you say the best place for stargazing in Nanjing, the secluded Yuhuatai on the mountain behind the palace is definitely one. Ye Yingwu asked Qing'er to bring some snacks from the imperial dining room, and spread them out directly on the lawn, and the starry sky was flowing quietly above his and Gesang's heads.

"Lie down and look at Morning Glory Vega, Gesang, guess the sky is full of stars, which one is Morning Glory and which one is Vega?" Ye Yingwu muttered.

Gesang was about to speak, when he suddenly found something, and stretched out his hand to point in the sky: "Husband, look, it's a meteor!" ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, a meteor streaked across the sky, skimming the shining and flowing Xinghan Milky Way, and disappeared into the sky in an instant. Immediately, Ye Yingwu was inexplicably shocked in his heart, as a good child who was born and grew up under the red flag, of course he would not be superstitious about anything, but this meteor still gave him an ominous premonition.

"Husband?" Gesang looked at Ye Yingwu, who was stunned.

Ye Yingwu opened his mouth, and just wanted to speak, when footsteps suddenly sounded, and Qing'er, who was supposed to go to the imperial dining room to bring the reheated soup pot, hurried: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Nanyang Emergency! ”

"Nanyang?!" Ye Yingwu was stunned for a moment, and Gesang also subconsciously grabbed Ye Yingwu's hand, obviously she had always been smart and noticed something from Qing'er's expression.

Qing'er came in a hurry all the way, and said breathlessly: "Yes······ It's a mourning! ”

Ye Yingwu slowly closed his eyes, and only after letting out a sigh of relief did he open his eyes and take the piece of music from Qing'er's hand, which was obviously sent from eight hundred miles in an emergency.

The recital bears the names of Zhang Gui and Lou Yong.

But there is one more.

"Old general, go······" Ye Yingwu opened the piece and glanced at it, then suddenly looked back at the sky, where is there still a trace of the meteor that flashed away?

Is that meteor the soul of the old general saying its final goodbye to himself?

The piece in Ye Yingwu's hand fell to the ground and stood solemnly on the hillside.

For Ma Yan, Ye Yingwu's emotions can be said to be complicated. At the beginning, Ye Yingwu ordered all the state capitals in Huzhou, except for the Sichuan and Shu side that Ye Yingwu had already done a good job, among the other state capitals in power, the first to respond to Ye Yingwu was the old general Ma Yanma. After the conquest of Dali, the southern conquest of Annan and Zhenla, the old general did not have a word, and everything was done perfectly.

In the face of the mighty Mongol army, Ye Yingwu relieved himself to hand over Nanyang to Ma Jia, and even approved Ma Jia's plan to take risks, and it was also clearly written on the chapter that Ma Yan and Zhang Gui did not live up to Ye Yingwu's expectations and stirred up chaos in the Ilkhanate, while Lou Yong also did a good job, fighting to the death in Xihui Town to buy enough time for the expeditionary navy and land division.

But the only flaw is that Ma Yan did not return to his homeland alive after all.

When he saw the first moment of the recital, Ye Yingwu wanted to scold Zhang Gui and Zhang Quan, but after thinking about it carefully, the old general had already been mentally prepared to return the horse leather shroud when he formulated this plan, and he finally approved it, so it can be said that the one who really sent Ma Yan to death, even if it was not just him, had nothing to do with him.
