Chapter 115: The White Flag Dies
White flag dead letter
Liu Bei stared at Deng Ai deadly, he didn't know why Deng Ai would do something contrary to common sense at this time; A family visit actually needs to ask himself, and he can't help but shake his head, "The army is about to start, send the old man home" Liu Bei said in a deep voice, and the faint eyes shot a little helpless disappointment.
Deng Ai looked at Liu Bei's expression and reacted immediately, but the burden in his hand still had to be handed over to Liu Bei, "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the things in this burden are very necessary to take a look; After all, the old man walked from Jiangyang County to Hanzhong for more than half a month, just to hand over this burden to his son," Deng Ai knelt on the ground, holding the burden with his hands folded and holding it up.
Liu Bei's cold eyes, Deng Ai's back couldn't help but feel cold; But he still carried the burden and never retreated, just as Zhao Yun stepped out and prepared to be an old peacemaker;
"Turn it on," Liu Bei said in a deep voice. After all, Deng Ai has been an official for two years and has never made a mistake, how can he make such a mistake now.
As soon as the words fell, Deng Ai easily pulled out the flag inside and presented it in Liu Bei's eyes; It is an ordinary white cloth that can no longer be ordinary, but in the middle of the white cloth is written a big and vigorous and powerful word 'death'. On the left and right sides of the word 'death' are written these lines: on the right, 'I don't want you to be filial before me; May you be faithful to the survival of your country. 'Left,' Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, and the Han dynasty declined. The rise and fall of the country has a share. I wanted to serve, but I was too old. Fortunately, I have a son, and I consciously ask for help. Give a flag and carry it with you at all times. Wipe blood when wounded, and wrap up after death. Go forward bravely, don't forget your duty! β
The moment the banner was unfurled, Liu Bei was like an evil spirit like the guard at the camp gate just now, unable to move, only his eyes were a little deep and hot. This trance is like Yan Zhao's tragic song, a strong man's broken arm. A short number is worth a lot of words. With a few inks, he opened up the way of life in a pool of blood.
Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Chen Zhi were also infected by the silence brought by this flag, and their eyes stared at the black font on it for a long time. There are some touches, some are bloody, and even more tearful.
Liu Bei's eyes widened, and it was hard to imagine how his father's much-weathered hand shook and swept when he held the bucket pen! But it is safe to say that when the old father wrote the sentence of the word 'death' and the sentence of 'shrouded body at death', what a magnanimity, how tragic and tragic the old father's mind was!
It's just that I can know that the old father has made the banner of the word 'death', and the son is about to go to the battlefield, and the rest is only silent mourning.
Exhaled softly, "Shizai, bring the old man" Coming back to his senses, Liu Bei said softly to Deng Ai.
"No," said Deng Ai, and then retreated.
In less than half an hour, Deng Ai turned back again, but there was an emaciated old man beside him; "The grass people meet the emperor" has not yet approached, and when the old man saw Liu Bei for the first time, he knelt down and bowed.
Without thinking too much, Liu Bei walked forward quickly and prepared to help the old man up, but the old man avoided it vigorously, not letting Liu Bei get close to him; However, Liu Bei's hands were fast, and he grabbed the old man's delicate hand and refused to relax.
"Your Majesty, the grass people can't afford it," the old man responded anxiously.
"How can Mr. not bear it, if there is no support from a loyal person like Mr., how can my Han family prosper" Liu Bei took the old man's hand and said softly.
"I don't know what to call Mr." Liu Bei saw that the old man had calmed down and asked softly.
"Back to the emperor, the grass people's surname is Pan, the name ginseng, the word inscription, the people of Jiangyang County; This time, I just want to hand over this flag to my son Pan Xiang, and I ask Your Majesty for permission" The old man's voice was mixed with a little trembling, and he responded slowly.
"Mr. Mingzhang, if you can trust me, please rest assured that this banner will definitely be handed over to Lingzi Pan Xiang; It's just that the army is about to be pulled out, and now I have to forgive me for the inconvenience," Liu Bei bent down and bowed to the old man; This is also the only time since Liu Bei ascended the throne in addition to worshiping the gods of heaven and earth and the temple of the Han family. In the subsequent preaching, it was known as the 'worship of the country'.
When Pan Shen saw it, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and hurriedly said; "The emperor must not do this, the grass people believe it; Since the army is about to be launched, the grass people will also go back to Jiangyang."
"Deng Ai," Liu Bei shouted.
"In"
"Find a carriage at once, prepare dry food, and use it for Mr. Mingzhang on his way home," Liu Bei instructed Deng Ai; Originally, Liu Bei planned to give Pan Shen a sum of money for the elderly, but after thinking about it, he gave up this idea, after all, there are thousands of old fathers in the entire Shu Han who sent their children to the military camp, if Pan Shen is set today, the consequences will be immeasurable; And if you use money to measure the countryman in front of you at this time, it will also seem rude.
"No" Deng Ai responded with a fist.
Immediately, Liu Bei said goodbye to Pan Shen, and the soldiers around him also erected this flag, and suddenly the dead word flag fluttered in the wind; Make every one of the schoolyards visible.
According to Liu Bei's instructions, the Imperial Forest Army formed a circle around the Dianjiangtai at this time, as if they were waiting for some order.
Zhang Fei stood in front of the banner that had just been erected, his eyes were completely on the flag; After a few drums, Zhang Fei began to shout, "Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, the Han family declinedγγγ the country rose and fell, and the husband had a γγγ." The Imperial Forest Army followed Zhang Fei's shout, and also spread this sentence to the ears of all the soldiers in the entire school field, and all the soldiers immediately understood and read itγγγγγγ
Pan Shen, who was sitting in the carriage and was about to go home, kept looking back and felt the shouts of his son in the military camp at this time. Perhaps this was a special way for Liu Bei to see his son without letting him see him, and the carriage slowly drove out of the barracks with the call of the soldiers.
According to Zhuge Liang's battle situation deployment, Zhao Yun, one of the five tiger generals of Shu Han, led 20,000 troops to be the vanguard of the entire Northern Expedition army, and marched towards the Baoxie Valley, preparing to become a breakthrough for the army here, break through the Yi State, and thus march into Guanzhong; Of course, this is just such propaganda to the outside world, as for the Shu Han army, it is quietly marching towards Qishan at this time.
and Wei Yan and Zhuge Qiao were recuperating in Hanzhong at this time, waiting for the opportunity to go on the expedition; When proposing the Meridian Valley strategy, Wei Yan never expected that Zhuge Qiao would stand on his side, let alone that Liu Bei would give his elite Hubu battalion soldiers, after all, in addition to Wudang and the first two armies, the Hubu battalion was the most exquisite in crossing mountains and mountains; Therefore, in order to ensure the speed of the march and the concealment of the army, Wei Yan and Zhuge Qiao discussed giving up the logistics escort of grain and grass, and prepared for the whole army to carry the 13th day of dry food into the Meridian Valley.
[Chen Shou: "Wei Yan is not only good at raising soldiers, brave and fierce, but also has a high temperament, so he avoided him at that time. βγ
