Chapter 35: The Khitan Attack [4] (Revised Version)
Chapter 35: The Khitans Attack [4]
Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside, which undoubtedly added a fire to Li Cunxiao's irritable heart, and immediately a nameless fire broke out for 3,000 zhang. Murderously shouted angrily outside: "What kind of people are making noise outside! ”
The commotion outside was silent, and after a while, An Sichun, the captain of Li Cunxiao's personal soldiers, hurriedly walked into the big tent.
"What's going on out there!" Seeing this distant cousin of his own family, Li Cunxiao's anger disappeared, but his tone was still full of murder.
Li Cunxiaoyuan's original surname was An Ming Jingsi, and he was later accepted as a righteous son by Li Keyong, which was then given the name Li Cunxiao by Li Keyong. So although the names of the two are different, An Sichun is a real distant cousin of Li Cunxiao.
An Sichun glanced at Li Cunxiao with a somewhat strange face, I don't know whether it was schadenfreude or sighing, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Outside, Li Tingshi's personal soldiers escorted Sha Yuke, the leader of the pro-soldiers, to beat the military stick outside the camp tent. ”
"What's going on?" Li Cunxiao frowned, Sha Yu Ke Li Cunxiao knew that it was Li Cunhuan's henchman. Before Li Cunhuan made his career, he had followed Li Cunhuan. Usually, wherever Li Cunhuan goes, Sha Yuke will follow him. Some of the do-gooders also gave Sha Eucalyptus a nickname, Shadow. means that he is Li Cunhuan's shadow, and when Li Cunhuan heard it, he said even more arrogantly: "Anyone will betray me, but my shadow will not betray me!" ”
From here, it can be seen that Sha Eucalyptus has a position in Li Cunhuan's heart, but now that he is being beaten with a military stick in front of his camp tent, something big must have happened, otherwise such a thing would not have happened.
An Sichun was a little angry and a little embarrassed to tell Li Cunxiao the reason why Sha Yuke was beaten. Li Cunxiao was stunned when he heard this, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm not a person who does big things after all!" ”
When An Sichun heard this, he asked suspiciously, "Brother, what are you talking about?" Why can't I understand it? ”
Li Cunxiao pondered for a moment, and said frankly: "Cunhuan has seen through my thoughts. ”
An Sichun, as a close person around Li Cunxiao, naturally knew a little bit of Li Cunxiao's recent thoughts, and when he heard this, his face changed greatly, and his voice trembled involuntarily, "Brother, should we strike first!" It's a big deal to escape into the grassland! ”
Li Cunxiao shook his head and said, "What are you talking about, Cunhuan is telling me that he is willing to give up everything." You see, his henchmen were beaten with fifty sticks for just one complaint. My heart is not as good as his! As the saying goes, how big the heart is, how great the achievement. The person who can support the boat in his belly is the prime minister, and I, Li Cunxiao, estimate that at most, I will become a festival envoy! ”
When An Sichun heard this, he said angrily: "Brother, what are you talking about!" In terms of troops, that Li Cunhuan just relied on Li Kuangshou's short-sighted puppet! In terms of force, ten Li Cunhuan is not your opponent, why should you show weakness! Since he now has you as Lord, why should we be polite to Him! ”
"Can't! How can I, Li Cunxiao, be an ungrateful person! That's it, that's it! Let's talk about that later! You personally go to Cunhuan and plead with that kid in Sha Yu on my behalf! Li Cunxiao thought for a while, shook his head and said.
When An Sichun heard this, he pursed his lips and said unwillingly: "Brother, you are such a good person!" However, he still walked out of the camp tent and walked in the direction of Li Cunhuan's Chinese army tent.
Li Cunxiao sighed, feeling that he had become a mess in his heart. If Li Cunhuan uses him, Li Cunxiao is not afraid, but Li Cunhuan's soft move makes Li Cunxiao's heart a little more excited, and his heart is even more chaotic!
"Shayuk, are you blaming me!" Li Cunhuan walked into Sha Euca's tent, Sha Eucalyptus's butt was facing the sky, his head was sideways, facing the camp wall, and he didn't say a word.
Li Cunhuan pondered for a moment and said, "What you just said is not wrong. But you have to understand where we are now. ”
Sha Juk remained silent.
Li Cunhuan sighed faintly, "I thought that after becoming a thorn in history, I would be able to relax no matter what." But now I find that everything is wrong, from the moment we embark on this road of no return, it is estimated that only the moment we reach the end, or the moment of death, will we be relaxed. How many people does my eldest brother Li Cunxiao have? How many centaurs do I have? How many enemies do I have in Youzhou City? Do you know all of this? If I don't scold you and make this gesture, will I be able to gain the approval of my eldest brother Li Cunxiao? Maybe you're not angry, but have you ever thought that there are impermeable walls in this world? In the future, Li Cunxiao knew what you just said, and he had greater scruples about me, so how should I resolve it? Now I'm walking the tightrope, carelessly, taking a wrong step. No! is a mistake, every bit of a point, all of them are shattered, and there is no room for luck at all. ”
Sha Yuke's body was shocked, and Sha Yuke said hoarsely: "Brother Huan, you, you don't need to say it...... I...... I get it...... It's Eucalyptus Am sorry for you! For the sake of Brother Huan, Sha Eucalyptus is even dead...... Also willingly! ”
Li Cunhuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a firm face: "It's still the same sentence, if I can have a bite of rice to eat, I will never let you eat gruel!" And this mouthful, we divided it equally! ”
Sha Eucalyptus showed an excited look, holding Li Cunhuan's big hand tightly, and the separation between the two, with this grip, had dissipated without a trace.
Li Cunhuan also breathed a sigh of relief for himself to dissipate this crisis. Although Li Cunxiao is not reckless, he will definitely not be a very rational and calm person. Li Cunhuan was afraid that Li Cunxiao would explode in his heart at this time. So on the one hand, Li Cunhuan had to do it, and on the other hand, it was also to appease Li Cunxiao, which made people scold Sha Cunke.
…… Khitan camp...... The Great Tent of the Chinese Army......
By the time the camp was set up, it was already dusk, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, Sa Shude was lying on the Hu bed in an ugly posture, and below and on the left were Yeluyi, Chi Yueli, and a group of chiefs and generals.
A fat roast sheep was set up on the bonfire in the middle of the tent with an iron bracket, and the chef skillfully turned the bracket to make the flame roast the sheep more evenly. From time to time, the roast sheep is sprinkled with spices and coated with wild honey, and the tempting fragrance wafts on the tent of the Chinese army. But up to Sathed, down to the chiefs of the small tribes. No one has the heart to eat roast lamb. Especially Sasted, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the dragon meat for him now.
After a while, the chef had already cooked the roast lamb, skillfully dismembered the whole sheep with a special scimitar, and personally brought the fattest mutton to the table of the Sard, and then respectfully led the people to retreat.
Sapped pondered for a moment, picked up a piece of mutton and chewed it in his mouth a few times, but he couldn't eat the sweet and delicious taste of Pingyu. In an irritable mood, he drank a glass of mare's milk wine, and the wine glass made of silver was slammed on the table, and he asked irritably, "What should we do now?" ”;
