Fang Shao and his fleet finally arrived at the scene of the shocking incident, in fact, the imperial camp had sunk into the water along with the high ground, allowing Fang Shao to identify the location of the corpses and flags floating everywhere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The fleet seemed to sail into the River Styx, which carried the souls of the dead, and the horrific sight made even veterans who had fought a hundred battles and killed countless people feel terrified.

The boats abandoned their formation and spread out into the scene, searching for survivors.

Because of the 100,000 troops that followed the expedition, most of them were from Guanzhong, and the physical fitness of these northern sons was stronger than that of the Jingzhou soldiers in the early years, but unfortunately most of them were landlubbers who couldn't water, and falling into the water like this was probably a dead end.

However, there are also a small number of lucky people who cleverly grabbed the floating objects such as planks floating on the water, and in this cold and biting water, they were lucky enough to survive the arrival of the rescue fleet.

However, the survivors rescued did not include Liu Bei, which made Fang Shao more and more worried.

Fang Shao ordered all the soldiers on the boat to hold torches, dozens of boats lit up the water in a radius of red, and the soldiers lay on the side of the boat and shouted, listening to the sound of crying for help.

Deng Ai was ordered to search to the southeast, this is the place where the collapse first occurred, the soldiers were completely unprepared, so there were very few survivors, half an hour passed, Deng Ai found nothing.

Looking at the vast water, Deng Ai was about to give up the search in this area, and turned around to meet Fang Shao to the north.

Suddenly, a thin mosquito buzzing sound seemed to be heard in my ears.

Deng Ai's nerves immediately became alert, and he rushed to the side of the boat in a few steps, staring at the water, his ears erected much straighter.

"Help me...... Help me......" faintly, as if a subtle cry for help was heard.

Deng Ai's expression shook up, his hand pointed out, and he shouted excitedly: "Quick, hurry over there, there are still living people." ”

The ship changed its rudder in time and headed towards Deng Ai's direction, and a moment later, in the light of the fire, everyone found the survivor lying on a plank.

"Get the boat up and get him up."

Under the command of Deng Ai, the boat slowly approached, and the soldiers dragged the man on the plank onto the boat, and they didn't have time to see who it was, so they carried him directly into the cabin and wrapped him in a quilt to keep warm.

The man was stiff and numb, his face was as white as paper, and his lips were frozen dark purple.

Deng Ai brushed away the man's wet and scattered hair on his face, and when he saw the man's face clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that this survivor was none other than Zuo Da Sima Fazheng.

It turned out to be him, and his life was really big. Deng Ai snorted coldly.

Deng Ai knew that this person was the de facto leader of the Guanlong Group, and not only did he have a major conflict of interests with the Jingzhou Group to which he belonged, but also that this person had previously designed his benefactor Fang Shao to be forced to send an envoy to Soochow at the risk of never returning. Moreover, it was this person who planned to marry Wu for the emperor back then, thus giving birth to the prince Liu Shan, and becoming a favorable contender for the crown prince with Liu Tai, the king of Chu.

It was this person, but he was in a coma in front of him, lying half-dead in front of his eyes.

Deng Ai suddenly regretted a little, if his ears were not so bright at that time, or if he didn't care much when he heard it, and didn't go to the rescue without pain, then at this moment, this Zuo Da Sima should still be soaked in the cold water, and if he soaked it for a while, he would have died, wouldn't everyone be happy.

Thinking of this, Deng Ai's heart suddenly moved, and he shouted: "What are you still doing here, hurry up and go out to save other companions." ”

Under Deng Ai's reprimand, the soldiers scattered in a swarm, and Deng Ai also went out, but after a while, he quietly slipped into the cabin while others were not paying attention.

"Da Sima, Da Sima." Deng Ai approached him and called softly.

Because his body gradually warmed up, Fa Zheng in a daze gradually sobered up a little, he opened his eyes slightly, looked at the young man in front of him, and was in a trance for a while before remembering who this person was.

When he realized that he had escaped death and had escaped, his pale face couldn't help but show a little joy, and he said tremblingly: "Shi...... Shizai, did you save me? ”

Deng Ai sighed: "Fa Da Sima, it is true that the last general saved you, but the last general thinks that it is better not to save you." ”

When Deng Ai said this, Fa Zheng was taken aback: "You...... What did you say? ”

"Da Sima, you see that you have come up with this plan, not only have you harmed tens of thousands of innocent soldiers, but even Your Majesty's supreme body has also harmed you, how should you face such a crime?"

was questioned by Deng Ai like this, Fa Zheng was speechless for a while, and his expression was full of discouragement.

Deng Ai continued: "If you die, Da Sima, you will still be regarded as a martyr who died in the line of duty, and now, you will live in the world with the charge of being a sinner of the country, and it will be my life, I would rather die a hundred, I don't know what do you think, Da Sima?" ”

As Deng Ai spoke, the murderous aura between his eyebrows gradually revealed.

Fa Zheng suddenly felt something, and exclaimed, "Deng Ai, you ...... What do you want to do? ”

Deng Ai sneered: "Da Sima, the last general is for your own good, you better go obediently, so that you can still keep your reputation." ”

"Deng Ai, are you crazy!" Fa Zheng was overwhelmed.

"Close your eyes, soon." Deng Ai slowly stretched out his hands with a murderous aura.

………… To the north, Fang Shaoshang was directing the fleet to continue the search, and more than an hour had passed, and there were only one or two hundred survivors who had been rescued, and there was still no trace of Liu Bei.

The hope was getting slimmer and slimmer, and Fang Shao was already thinking about how to deal with Liu Bei's sudden death and the huge impact it would have on the Great Han Kingdom.

Right here, a loud voice came from the front: "Help! ”

"Isn't this Chen Zhi's voice? Quick, get up there. Fang Shao perked up and shouted.

The boat leaned forward very much, and after a while, Fang Shao, who was standing at the bow of the boat, saw Chen Zhi lying on a log, and there was another person beside him, who was dressed like Liu Bei.

Fang Shao was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to drag the two people in the water up.

Chen Dao, who climbed onto the boat, although he was stiff and trembling from being soaked in cold water, he still kept a clear head, he couldn't care about himself, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty has passed out for a long time, Fang Sima, save Your Majesty." ”

Sure enough, it was Liu Bei.

Fang Shao was originally delighted, but listening to Chen Zhi's shouting and looking at Liu Bei, who was frozen like a zombie and dying, his heart became nervous again, and he quickly ordered the soldiers to carry Liu Bei into the cabin to warm him.

Even if Liu Bei was found, the others Fang Shao couldn't care about it, so he ordered the rest of the ships to stay and continue to search for survivors, and the ship carried Liu Bei to the Zhanghe camp at high speed.

When the boat docked, Fang Shao was the first to jump off the shore, and when he met Jiang Wei and others who were waiting anxiously, Jiang Wei asked anxiously: "Da Sima, how is Beiying, is Your Majesty okay?" ”

"Your Majesty is still here, but he has been immersed in water for too long and is unconscious, go and send all the Langzhong in the camp." Fang Shao commanded, and on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers to move quickly, and carried Liu Bei straight to the camp.

When I went to the camp, the fire had already been lit, and the big tent was baked extremely hot, and five or six Lang Zhong were hurriedly called, and several people hurriedly diagnosed and treated the unconscious Liu Bei.

After being busy, Fang Shao finally took a breath and retreated outside the tent with a tired body, at this moment, all the generals had already gathered outside the tent, and as soon as they saw Fang Shao come out, they rushed to ask about the situation of the Son of Heaven.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lang Zhong is still treating Your Majesty, Your Majesty has the protection of God, I think it will be fine, don't worry too much. At this critical juncture, we should stay calm, and there is no need for us to stay here. ”

The generals dispersed with uneasiness, Fang Shao looked up, but the east was gradually turning white, and the sky was about to dawn.

Just as he was anxiously waiting for the news of Liu Bei's condition, Deng Ai hurriedly returned, and the few people behind him also raised their heads with a single frame, and when they saw Fang Shao, they didn't have time to salute, so they hurriedly asked: "Great Sima, the last general heard that His Majesty has found it, but is there such a thing?" ”

Fang Shao nodded and said, "Yes, I found it, but I have been immersed in the water for too long, and I have passed out, and I am now being treated inside." ”

Deng Ai breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Shao glanced behind him and asked, "Who is this, did you save it?" ”

Deng Ai then remembered, and hurriedly said: "On the stretcher is Zuo Da Sima, who was rescued by the last general, but-"

"But what?" Hearing that Fa Zheng was also rescued, Fang Shao didn't seem very excited.

Deng Ai sighed lightly: "Fa Sima was trapped in the water for too long, his whole body was frozen and stiff, and the last general found it too late, not long after he rescued him, Fa Sima ...... And he was unfortunate to go. ”

"What?" Fang Shao exclaimed, looking very shocked.

He ran over in a few steps, but saw that the body had been covered with a white cloth, Fang Shao lifted the white cloth on his head, only to see that Fa Zheng's eyes were closed and he didn't move, he stretched out his hand and tried it under his nose, and sure enough, there was no breath.

At that moment, Fang Shao's emotions were quite complicated, and he naturally felt a little sorry for Fa Zheng's death, but he had to admit that in his subconscious, he was also a little happy about the death of this political enemy and colleague.

As a colleague who assisted Liu Bei in achieving great causes and made great contributions to the common cause, as a wise man with outstanding strategy, and as an old colleague who had worked together for a long time, Fang Shao would of course be a little sad about the death of Fa Zheng.

However, as the leader of the Guanlong Group, as a political enemy who had even used means to almost leave Soochow and never return in order to compete for political interests, Fa Zheng's death would naturally make Fang Shao feel a little lucky.

"Alas, Fa Xiaozhi was clever for a while, which put His Majesty in such a situation, but I am afraid that even if he lives, it will be difficult to raise his head, and such an ending is not a good thing for him. Let's put his body in place first, and then dispose of it when His Majesty wakes up. ”
