Chapter 39 Fate hangs by a thread

At the turn of day and night, the wilderness is desolate. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info(

Outside Zuli City, there was a scene of corpses scattered across the field, and everything was silent, except for foraging vultures pecking at the corpses that were rapidly decomposing in the summer.

Puff puff clatter

A vulture that was biting at the corpse suddenly flapped its wings and flew up, and below it, there was movement in the pile of dead people, and a blood-stained arm moved slightly.

Pushing away the corpse pressed on his body with difficulty, he opened his mouth and breathed heavily, but a bloody and foul smell came from his nose, and when he opened his eyes, the clear sky was not yet bright, and the light at the time of alternating light and dark made him look left and right at the scene around him.

The expressions of the comrades who died tragically were different, the blood flowed into streams and stained the earth, and the young soldier was just about to sit up with his elbows propped up, but let out a heart-rending scream.

"Ahh

gasped, and cold sweat continued to break out on his already weak face.

Looking down at the left arm that was in sharp pain, the young man stared at the wound where the skin was open and even the bones could be seen, the already scabbed scar cracked open, and the blood flowed out, which was shocking.

Standing up with one arm propped up, the young man used his teeth to tear a strip of cloth from the clothes of his right arm and bandage the wound on his left arm.

Looking at the stump and the corpse, the scarred young man shook two steps, and suddenly bent down and frantically picked up the stack of corpses with his right arm.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, fifth brother, fifth brother......"

Gan Gui didn't know why he survived, the advantage of the Xiliang Army was enough to wipe them out, but now he didn't even clean the battlefield, looking at the four gates closed like a dead city, the Xiliang Army should no longer be among them.

At the last moment before losing consciousness, Gan Gui only remembered that he fell before Guo Ye, and then there was no way to know what happened later.

Constantly looking at the corpses around him, Gan Gui lost his soul and was depressed, and kept shouting the fifth brother in his mouth, every time he opened a corpse and did not find Guo Ye, Gan Gui had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't want the cold and rancid corpse at hand to be Guo Ye, but he wanted to find Guo Ye's whereabouts, but he was afraid to face the fact that Guo Ye had passed away.

Just when Gan Gui was desperate, he finally found Guo Ye and pushed away the corpse that was pressing on Guo Ye's body, Gan Gui's eyes bloomed with surprise, but in an instant, his face was pale and frightened, and he stretched out his hand and snorted tremblingly towards Guo Ye.

As if waiting for the judgment of fate, Gan Gui closed his eyes and felt his breath with his fingers.

Every time his heart beat like hitting a bell, tears flowed from the corners of Gan Gui's eyes, he was a little desperate, and pounced on Guo Ye and cried out in pain: "Fifth brother! ”

Suddenly, Gan Gui, who was lying on Guo Ye's body, quickly wiped away his tears, reached into Guo Ye's tattered and blood-stained clothes, and put his palm against his chest, Gan Gui showed a smirk, he didn't feel the coldness of the corpse, and quickly pulled out his right hand that could still move normally to feel Guo Ye's snort again.

Gan Gui picked up Guo Ye and was suddenly startled, Guo Ye's entire back was torn, and his back was full of blood red.

Knowing that Guo Ye's life was hanging by a thread at this moment, if he was not treated, he would definitely die here, Gan Gui carried him on his back with difficulty, with a heavy burden on his shoulders, and his arms were about to exert force, and the sudden sharp pain in his left arm made Gan Gui lose his center of gravity while unloading his strength, and just took a step but fell to the ground, Guo Ye fell to the ground from his back.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

Gan Gui couldn't care about his pain, crawled to Guo Ye's side and cried bitterly, and hurriedly checked to see if there were any wounds on Guo Ye's body that were broken and bleeding, fortunately, there were no new injuries, and the old injuries were not torn, Gan Gui carefully carried him on his back again, this time, no matter how much the injured left arm hurt, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Under the bright sky, Gan Gui's body, which was slightly thinner than an adult, carried Guo Ye from the pile of dead people and walked towards Jincheng step by step.

……

Changan

Since Pound came to Chang'an to recuperate, Guo Jia will come to visit him every day, and now, Pound has almost recovered, and the former majestic and mighty warrior is once again majestic.

On this day, Guo Jia and Pang De walked in the barracks, and the two chatted about the topic of governing the army.

"Ling Ming, I mean that you will still be a partial general under Meng Qi in the future, maybe this has wronged you, but I plan to go to the imperial court in a few days and let Meng Qi serve as the governor of Liangzhou Assassin Shi Northwest War, Meng Qi's men have no available people, only if you understand him, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort."

Pound did not hesitate and immediately clenched his fists to take his life.

He still followed Ma Chao, but this pair of ministers has now become ministers.

When the two walked towards the outside of the barracks together, Xu Shu came in a hurry, bowed in front of Guo Jia and said: "Lord, Jincheng sent an urgent report, Meng Da led the army to encounter Han Sui's heavy troops in Zuli, and Dianman rushed back to Jincheng in time to deliver the news, however, Ye Gongzi did not return to Jincheng, and his life and death are unknown. ”

Guo Jia was expressionless and silent.

Send him to the battlefield, and he should have the consciousness of the current situation.

At this moment, Guo Jia's heart was beating like thunder, and it seemed that the whole heart was falling at an accelerated pace.

Call.

Take a long breath.

Guo Jia looked up at the sky and muttered, "Zu Li, Zu Li." ”

Maybe he hasn't reached the age where the white-haired man sends the black-haired man, but his son's life and death are unknown, which will always make his always calm state of mind fall into a panic.

"Yuan Zhi, you take 10,000 soldiers and horses from Chang'an to support Jincheng, camp fifty miles outside Jincheng, and inquire about the movement of Jincheng, if you arrive when the enemy besieges Jincheng, you can go forward and kill the enemy by surprise, if there is no enemy army besieging the city, you will camp outside the city and wait for the changes."

Guo Jia didn't mention Guo Ye's name, but just responded to the situation in Jincheng.

This coping strategy was thought out long before the army marched westward.

Jincheng is a bait, if Han Sui takes the bait, then Chang'an only needs to send 10,000 soldiers and horses to guarantee that the city is worry-free, and the front Wuwei has fallen, and Han Sui goes to fight Jincheng's soldiers and horses is a dead end, and Guo Jia can calmly catch turtles in the urn.

"My lord, the last general is willing to go to Jincheng with Lord Xu."

Pound hugged Guo Jia with a fist.

Guo Jia nodded in agreement, and said to him: "Ling Ming go and prepare first, and go on the road before sunset." ”

Chang'an's soldiers and horses had already been prepared, Guo Jia was just waiting for the news ahead, although he expected this situation, he still felt a little surprised, at least Han Sui should seize the fighter, or the opportunity to try to turn things around, Han Sui did not let go.

If such an enemy cannot be eliminated in one fell swoop, it will definitely be a great disaster in the future.

The so-called snake does not die, but suffers from it.

Pang De left to prepare for the expedition, Xu Shu also planned to retire, but Guo Jia grabbed his hand and came to him, Xu Shu was shocked to find that he had not seen Guo Jia show a violent and ruthless color for many years.

"Yuan Zhi, send someone to send a message of mine to Xingba, conquer the northwest, but if there is no resistance, the three tribes, whether Han or Qianghu!"

Xu Shu frowned slightly, but finally spoke up to receive his life.

The Northwest was negligent in governance at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and because of the oppression of the Kansai people in the Kanto, politics and local people's livelihood are like this, there will be continuous rebellions, and the people in the Northwest have the blood of disobedience and resistance in their bones.

But Xu Shu also understood that Guo Jia had only asked him to pass such an order to the front line now, most likely because of Guo Ye, Guo Jia may have had a trace of kindness, but at this moment, it is gone.

After Xu Shu left, Guo Jia looked at the sky and was stunned.

Am I wrong?

The jade is not cut into a device, Jackie Chan becomes an insect, and the big waves rush to the sand to see gold.

Guo Jia's expression showed a hint of struggle.

To this day, he has no room to take a step back and open the sky, which naturally includes his heirs.

If Guo Ye really dies early, it will be a heavy blow to Guo Jia.

He didn't even know how to face his sons in the future, whether to continue to protect them, or to put them on a dangerous and murderous battlefield again.

Not only in troubled times, even in peaceful and prosperous times, Guo Jia also hopes that his children can realize the hardships of the world and the dangers of people's hearts.

But the price of losing his son, he seems to be not mentally prepared to bear it.

"Ye'er, this path is your choice, tens of thousands, come back alive."

After returning to Jincheng to report the letter, after a short rest, he came to meet Fei Shi with Xu Yi.

"Lord Fei, I plan to go out of the city to Zuli to find the surviving soldiers."

Dian Man came to see Fei Shi after all the preparations were thorough, so it can be seen that he came to make a report, not a request.

Fei Shi saw his appearance and sighed silently.

In the final analysis, Dianman can be restrained if he is not within his authority, what Dianman wants to do, unless it is to hinder official affairs, he can take care of it, and Dianman's intention to find survivors is actually to find Guo Ye and Gan Gui, both public and private, and Fei Shi has no reason to stop Dianman.

"Dianman, you should know that if you go this time, if you encounter Han Sui's army, you may be in danger of your life."

Dian Man said firmly: "I was ordered to report the news, the military situation has been brought, this city defense is not my strength, Lord Fei is sitting in the town and the lord is strategizing, Jincheng is worry-free, I say goodbye." ”

Dian Man does not answer Fei Shi's question, everyone knows this situation, and Fei Shi does not need to remind him.

But the decision to go has been decided, Xu Yi also bowed to the side and retreated, and the two rode on fast horses and galloped away after leaving the house.

In the scorching sun, the trance-like Gan Gui staggered with the dying Guo Ye on his back, and his legs could no longer be lifted, as if he was dragging his body forward against the ground.

"Fifth brother, I have a knife around my waist, if you and I are unlucky enough to run into the enemy, I will leave my last breath to kill you first, and then I will commit suicide. I know that the fifth brother does not want to be captured, not because of your honor and disgrace, but because the fifth brother does not want to be a burden to the lord, nor does he want the lord to be humiliated because of this, I am the same, I don't want to be humiliated because of me, my father said that he was looked down upon before, and after following the lord, at least no one dares to look down on him openly, if I let my father lose face, then I might as well die if I live. ”

His physical strength has long exceeded the limit, Gan Gui carried Guo Ye, who was stronger than his physique, for a day and a night, in this afternoon, the loess under his feet made him not even have the strength to drag his body forward, seeing that he was about to pass out, Gan Gui closed his eyes at the last moment, in the gap in his eyes, two fast horses were galloping from the front, the smoke and dust were blowing, he couldn't care too much, and fell to the ground head-on.
