Chapter 222: Is Your Heart As Hard as Iron?

The dust and mist like a sandstorm are rolling towards the side at a rapid speed, and who else can cause such a momentum except for the cavalry.

Jiang Wan suddenly remembered that after Liu Feng defeated Cao Ren, he surrendered a large number of Cao troops, among which there must be no shortage of cavalry.

In an instant, Jiang Wan's heart was hit hard.

The enemy is coming very quickly, and these hundreds of remnants of our side, who are sleepy and lacking horses, will catch up if they can't escape far, and with such a formation, they will be easily crushed by the enemy's cavalry.

Jiang Wan had no choice but to order three hundred defeated soldiers to line up against the mountain, ready to deal with the onslaught of the enemy cavalry.

In the wilderness, the only way to defend against cavalry was to fight in formation, and there was only one way to escape.

Among the three hundred soldiers, many of them had already discarded their weapons, and there were few archers, so Jiang Wan could only piece together a messy infantry army formation from time to time according to the existing situation.

In the blink of an eye, the sandstorm approached.

Jiang Wan was stationed in the horse formation, holding a sharp sword, his gray face was full of solemnity, and he looked ready to die generously and fight a bloody battle.

But the soldiers were not as strong as he was.

Jiang Wan read the book of sages, and had great ambitions such as being loyal to the two masters and generously going to righteousness, so he could fight to the death.

The soldiers are different, these Yizhou sons were originally coerced by Liu Bei to fight, and now the city has been lost, their own army is defeated, and the chasing soldiers are cavalry, and they are not fools.

They know very well that there is only one way to die if they fight again like this.

The hand holding the weapon was trembling, and the heartbeat was speeding up as the enemy approached.

When the raging cavalry, like a Shura from hell, rushed out of the sky-high fog, everyone's hearts thumped, as if they had been hit with a heavy punch, and the whole terrified heart almost burst out of the chest.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.

"Ah~~"

Under the pressure of such a powerful momentum, I don't know which person in the formation was the first to break down, screaming and holding his head and fleeing.

This messy infantry formation is like a fragile glass wall, which shatters with a single click.

Three hundred remnants of the soldiers, in a roar, howling and crying and fleeing in all directions.

"Stop, stop for me, and those who dare to trespass will be dealt with by military law."

Jiang Wan roared loudly, trying to suppress the chaos, and he even swung his sword to personally cut down a few soldiers who had escaped by his side, but to no avail.

The defeat was like a mountain.

Among Jiang Wan, there are only a few people left around.

The tide is over.

Jiang Wan let out a long sigh, turned around, and joined the fleeing team together.

He kept whipping, whipping the tired war horse under his crotch, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, until in the end, he was left alone and alone, running alone on this mountain road.

Behind him, the enemy is still in pursuit.

The horse of Shu can not be compared with the good horse in the north, the war horse under the crotch galloped wildly, and now it is exhausted, and it is forced to run out for several miles under the pressure of Jiang Wan, and soon it is panting like a cow, foaming at the mouth.

Suddenly, the horse's hooves stepped into a low depression hidden in the grass, and the horse's hooves went limp, and they fell to their knees like screams.

Jiang Wan didn't even have time to be surprised, and the whole person was thrown out.

After falling to the ground, because of his habitual surname, Jiang Wan rolled forward a full three feet away before stopping.

Fortunately, the ground was full of green grass without feet, which offset a lot of the impact force, Rao was so, under this impact, Jiang Wan also felt extremely painful in his muscles and bones, as if he had fallen apart.

When Jiang Wan got up according to what seemed to be a broken rib, the pursuers behind him were already dozens of paces away, and his poor mount was already lying on the ground foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

There is no hope of escaping, and trying to struggle again will only make the enemy laugh.

Jiang Wansuo sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, and he looked like he was sitting and waiting for death.

The sound of hooves gradually stopped, and the pursuers seemed to have stopped a few paces away, and all that could be heard was the snorting of the horses.

When Liu Feng saw the person sitting cross-legged, he recognized it as Jiang Wan at a glance.

Although he had never seen Jiang Wan before, since he was blocked by this opponent in Wuxian County, he ordered someone who knew his face to draw several shadow pictures.

Although the person in front of him looked like a gray face, he could still vaguely recognize a few parts of his face, as well as that kind of bearing that was difficult for others to understand, so Liu Feng naturally recognized it at a glance.

Jiang Wan, the successor of Zhuge Liang in history, one of the four great sages of Shu Han, is now sitting here in such a mess waiting for death, which is really a great irony.

Seeing this scene, Liu Feng's previous annoyance with Jiang Wan also disappeared, as a winner, he felt that Jiang Wan was a little aggrieved and pitiful.

Turning over and dismounting, Liu Feng walked slowly to Jiang Wan, looked at the iron-clad face with his eyes closed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gongyan, you are really interested in meditating cross-legged in this barren mountain and wilderness." ”

Jiang Wansuo's surname even closed his mouth, and he just sat there motionless like a statue, barely panting.

When Liu Feng saw Jiang Wan's demeanor, he felt more and more that the Confucian general from a literati in front of him was a little cute.

"Come on, bring the wine."

The soldiers were anxious to untie the two bags of wine, Liu Feng took one bag by himself, and put the other bag in front of Jiang Wan, and said heartily: "Mr. Gongyan, the scenery here is pleasant, and the so-called beautiful and delicious food is good." At the moment of delicacies, how can there be no wine, come, I will accompany you to have a good drink. ”

Jiang Wan's eyelids trembled slightly, but he still didn't respond.

Liu Feng didn't care about him, and he raised his head and poured a lot of anger.

"Good wine, happy." Liu Feng wiped his mouth and praised.

Jiang Wan's brows furrowed faintly, as if he was quite puzzled by Liu Feng's actions, and he couldn't figure out what kind of trick this kid was playing.

Liu Feng poked his head up, stared at Jiang Wan with wide eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth, and showed a sly smile, so he put the wine bag in front of Jiang Wan's nose.

"Mr. Gongyan, you can really bear such a good wine."

Jiang Wan fled all night, the dripping water was not exhausted, the grain of rice was not stained, and at this moment it was the time when hunger was unbearable, and the wine-colored breath came to his nose, which immediately caused him to be greedy, and instinctively swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Liu Feng shook his head and sighed: "It seems that you are planning to die generously, since this is the case, this wine should be seen off for you, are you still afraid that I will not be able to poison this wine." ”

Jiang Wan couldn't bear it anymore, so he thought that it was a dead end anyway, so why not drink it before he died.

As soon as his thoughts opened, Jiang Wan suddenly opened his eyes, glared at Liu Feng, picked up the bag of good wine in front of him, raised his head and poured it endlessly.

In front of everyone's eyes, Jiang Wan actually poured the whole bag of wine clean, and there was not a drop left.

After drinking, he threw the wine bag to the ground, and said with horizontal eyebrows: "If you want to kill, kill it, how can I, Jiang Wan, be afraid of death." ”

A literati actually has a bit of the pride of a martial artist, and he really deserves to be Zhuge Liang's successor.

It's not difficult to kill someone, it's just a sword in your hand.

It is the heart that is the most painful, and what Liu Feng wants to punish is the hearts of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Jiang Wan is the sword that kills the heart.

"Gongyan, it's easy for people to die, it's just a moment, but if you die, what will happen to your wife and children left in Jingzhou?"

Liu Feng took out his most advantageous weapon.

Jiang Wan's heart was suddenly shocked, it was originally a generous determination to die, but because of the word "wife and children", it was reduced a lot at once.

"Not only your wife and children, but also your mother, as the head of the family, you abandoned the family, but died for Liu Bei, a hypocritical and righteous person, do you think it's worth it?"

Jiang Wan knew that Liu Feng moved out of his family to persuade him to surrender, knowing this, but when he thought of the faces of his mother, wife and children, that firm belief still began to melt unconsciously.

"I am favored by Uncle Liu, how can I betray him. I know that General Liu, you have the style of a benevolent gentleman, and I don't think I will embarrass my family. ”

Jiang Wan's tone was finally no longer so resolute, although he still claimed that he would not betray Liu Bei in his tone, Liu Feng could feel that his will was already wavering.

Liu Feng smiled faintly: "The two armies are fighting, and the disaster will not affect the family, how can I Liu Feng not know this, otherwise, I can be like Liu Bei, take the family members of the Yizhou soldiers as hostages, and coerce them to die for him." ”

With Liu Feng's promise, Jiang Wan felt a lot more at ease, and his resistance and hostility towards Liu Feng seemed to have disappeared.

Seeing this, Liu Feng took out a letter from his arms, "I have always looked up to Mr. Gongyan, before entering Shu, I went to visit the old lady in the house, and she has a letter from the old man here, so I asked me to forward it to Gongyan." ”

As soon as he heard the letter from his mother, Jiang Wan suddenly became excited, snatched the letter, unfolded it and read it carefully, and gradually couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

In fact, where did Liu Feng visit Jiang Wan's mother, but he just temporarily sent someone back to Jingzhou and asked Pang Tong to go to Jiang Wan's house to ask for a letter.

However, this letter was not obtained by coercion, and the content of the letter was probably the old lady reporting safety to her son, hoping that the family could be reunited as soon as possible.

It's just that Jiang Wan saw it, but his mood fluctuated greatly.

The intention of generously begging for death, because of this motherly word, was swept away in a blink of an eye.

"Since Mr. Gongyan is unwilling to surrender to me, I, Liu Feng, am not the kind of person who is difficult for a strong man, but now, I can't let Mr. Liu Bei go to Liu Bei to continue to be my enemy, so how can I explain to the soldiers who fought bloodily.

In this way, I will send my husband back to Jingzhou to reunite with his family, and as for the future, I will talk about it later. ”

Liu Feng is giving Jiang Wan a step down, so that you will not bear the name of betraying Liu Bei in name, and you can comfort yourself in your heart.

As for your return to Jingzhou, when the time comes, you will be on my Liu Feng's territory, and after the matter has passed, it will not be used by me sooner or later.

Liu Feng's abacus played very well, and Jiang Wan also understood people, so he naturally knew the intention.

It's just that now, he misses his mother and has no choice.

Liu Feng has already given him enough face, and if he doesn't let go, he will really be separated from his old mother, wife and children.

After weighing it for a long time, Jiang Wan shook his head and smiled bitterly and sighed.
