Yao Shao lowered his head and walked a few steps, and suddenly realized that his wife had not followed. When he looked back, he was standing there, looking at him with a smile or a smile. Hurriedly took a few steps back, and gently grabbed Madame's hand:

"Do you think I'm going too fast?"

Yao Shao's wife Xiahou Yan is a descendant of Xiahou Yan, the younger brother of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, and is not the most beautiful among the Yao Qin noblewomen, but she is the most read and has the most quiet temperament. After 20 years of husband and wife, Yao Shao was stunned from a general to a Confucian general. The first emperor Yao Xing was free and uninhibited, and when he went to the generals' houses to drink, he was always open-mouthed, and there were no taboos when he made jokes about the hostess, and he was even more up-and-down when he drank too much. Only when he arrived at Yao Shao's house, his face was drunk into dates, and he wouldn't spit out a dirty word. Once when he returned to the palace and said to the queen, although the general of the chariot cavalry was good at fighting, the town house was the female Yuan Rong, the head of the imperial family, and the backbone of the gate, and the face was like a snowy mountain.

Yao Shao's hands used to be warm and dry, but today Xiahou Yan felt a layer of sweat in his palms.

The husband is too tired.

Yao Shao went out on this expedition, and in order to reassure the emperor, he brought his family to the front line. Naturally, the diet and living here cannot be compared with Chang'an, but Xiahou Yan doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. In the past, Yao Shao went to the east and west, leaving home for as little as a month, and as much as half a year, and finally returned home victorious, the rewards were very fat, but people became thin. This time I can finally take care of him closely, which is also a rare blessing.

It's just that this time he has less and less time to sleep and eat seriously when he returns home. I asked the soldiers about it, and the soldiers said that the general held up the lamp and looked at the map all night, talked secretly with the generals of various armies as soon as it was dawn, inspected the battalions during the day, ate and trained with the soldiers, and lay on the case for a while when he was very sleepy.

The pro-soldier finally said that the general had not done this before.

The husband has met a fierce rival.

Yao Shao rarely went home to sleep last night, but before dawn, he had already woken up. He was afraid of arguing with his wife, so he got out of bed lightly and walked out of the bedroom, went to the study to find a copy of "Sima Fa", and read it with or without a match.

"Since the general is not sleepy, why not accompany the little girl for a walk under the moon?"

Yao Shao looked back with a smile and saw his wife leaning on the door frame of the study in a pitiful manner.

From the worship church to the present, 20 years, Yao Shao has always had no resistance to his wife's tenderness.

Tonight the clouds are heavy, and the moon is hidden from time to time.

"Why can't you sleep when you're so tired?"

"Don't worry."

"What's not to worry about?"

"The man who sent out."

"Since it can be sent out, it means that it is not a mediocre person, why don't you feel at ease when you use it?"

"The opponent is too strong!"

Xia Houyan's heart suddenly became sour. Her husband, Hero I, was not only regarded as the Great Wall by the Qin State, but also respected by the neighboring Great Wei, who was as strong as a forest. For so many years, I have never heard such a thing as "the opponent is too strong" from his mouth. She never deliberately inquired about the battle situation in the army, but Yao Shao lost Tong Pass first, and a while ago, he sent troops twice to cut off the enemy's food route, and the rumors spread from the camp to her home, it seems that the opponent who killed from the south this time is indeed a ruthless character. He groaned slightly, and was about to comfort him, when he found that he had taken several steps forward on his own. Then let him go, count and see how many steps this man can take away from his wife. She counted secretly, silently thinking in her heart: If God blesses my man to pass this level, let him not take 10 steps.

Yao Shao stopped at step 8.

Thank God.

At this moment, wipe the sweat from his palms:

"I'm dragging you down, you can't go fast."

"Have you ever seen a dog's tail drag a dog?"

It's a good sign, he doesn't have enough congestion in his heart, and he can pretend to be joking.

Looking up at the sky, the moon had emerged from a pile of clouds, pouring a thin sheet of water into the courtyard. The leaves of the locust tree in the yard met this water, and there was a sound, as if they didn't want to live up to Chang'e's blue eyes. Xiahou Yan hugged Yao Shao's arm, walked in a row, tasted it slowly, and slowly read it out:

The moon shines on the general's tassels, and the tassels are as colored as the lips of a concubine.

In the bronze mirror of the concubine's lips, the flowers do not bloom as much as spring.

When the family is drunk, lie alone and dim.

When the beacon is quiet, the new makeup welcomes the capital.

Yao Shao chewed each word carefully, read it again by himself, thinking that the country had been broken and the three armies were fighting hard, I don't know how many women are worried about recruiting people, and I don't know how many women have become **, and then I think of the third wave of people sent out to attack the Jin army's grain road at night I don't know if they can succeed, "How to be quiet", it seems that the beacon is rarely quiet. For a while, my thoughts were tossing and turning, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, but I couldn't dispel the darkness in my heart, and I couldn't help but recite a sentence of Amitabha Buddha in my voice.

He said it unintentionally, but Madame listened to it intentionally.

"Your Buddha horn reminds me."

"How?"

"Master Tanyun went to Chang'an from Pingcheng, stayed at Dongguan Buddhist Temple last night, and prepared to get up tomorrow. You should ask him to stay for a few days, one is to do a ritual for the fallen soldiers in front, and the other is that he has a wide range of experience, and he can also ask for advice on the current situation. If you think it's good, I'll bring a generous gift after dawn. ”

Tan Yun is the youngest disciple of the high monk Kumarosh, and he is a Hu man. He first toured the four counties of Hexi to teach the Fa, and after Fu Jian unified the north, he has been working as a protector in the Qin Palace, and has a deep friendship with Wang Meng. Fu Jian was defeated, and once traveled south to Jiangdong, and later returned to Guanzhong. After Yao Chang established the country, he was invited to the palace many times to preach the Fa, and since then he has been going back and forth between Qin and Wei.

Yao Shao doesn't believe in Buddhism in his bones, and he doesn't think that the fallen soldiers need anything excessive, but Tan Yun's experience cannot be underestimated, so he can ask for advice.

At lunch that day, Yao Shao had not received any news from Changshi Yao Qia, could it be that 2,000 people had set up an ambush late at night and encountered ghosts? was anxious, and the soldiers came to report, saying that Master Tanyun had accepted the invitation of his wife, and returned to the camp with his wife, and was already in the house at this moment.

Although Tan Yun is already a little rickety, he is still a head taller than ordinary people with a straight waist. The bridge of the nose is very high, the eye sockets are deep, the eyeballs are not black or yellow, and at first glance they are the seeds of the Hu people from the west of the Green Mountains, but since they were children, they can talk to the Han people, Xianbei people, Huns, and Qiang people freely. When Yao Shao crossed the threshold, he heard this old monk with a spirit on his tongue chatting with his wife in authentic Guanzhong Chinese. When he saw Yao Shao coming in, he immediately got up and greeted him in Qiang, and Yao Shao immediately said that we would speak Chinese.

Tan Yun stared at Yao Shao for a while, and smiled slightly:

"The general's heart is bitter."

Yao Shao said that he hadn't been in battle these days, and he didn't work hard.

"I mean, the general has pain in his heart."

Yao Shao knew that Tan Yunyu was sharp, and he was determined to try this world-famous monk with thorns.

"The great monk is wrong, the heart is not the guts, how can he be bitter?"

"The general is wrong, if the heart is not courage, how can it be called ambition?"

"The great monk is not thorough, if his heart is gall, why is it said that the king of Xuan cut Bigan's heart, not his gall?"

"The general is stubborn, more than dry, and the loyal ministers are cold."

"The great monk jumped, if the heart and gall are one thing, then the qin heart sword gall, isn't the qin the sword the sword?"

Tan Yun suddenly used his hand to fear the case, like a knife and gun, ending the fight:

"Toot! Zhuge Liang stroked the qin and retired Sima, Liu Kun and Hu Ji scattered Hu Qi, who said that the piano is not a sword!? ”

Yao Shao was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed:

"The wisdom of a monk, ordinary people are really not as good as ordinary people! Yao Shaoban got the axe, please the great monk Haihan. ”

Tan Yun finished laughing and put away his smile:

"The poor monk knows the general's purpose in summoning me. It's just that the poor monks don't understand the killing of the army, and can only recite the scriptures and worship the Buddha. ”

Yao Shao got up and said:

"Yao Shao doesn't want the great monk to talk about fighting, but values the dà monk's profound knowledge, reading thousands of scriptures, traveling thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and wants the great monk to get rid of the lost way, so that Yao Shao can be freed from the chaos. A piece of sincerity, please be considerate of the great monk. ”

Tan Yun stared at Yao Shao for a long time, his tone suddenly became gloomy, and Xiahou Yan on the side felt a chill on her back.

"The old monk was fortunate to live to be 88 years old; The old monk is unfortunate again, he has lived for so long, and he has not seen the peace of the world, only to see a stubble of the emperor lose his head, and one by one the powerful countries have become clouds. The old monk was ignorant and couldn't pick up a road, so he could only tell General Sù a look. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, slowly blew the tea leaves, and took several sips of tea in a row.

Yao Shao didn't rush either, and waited patiently.

He had a hunch that what Tan Yun was going to say was not what he wanted to hear.

Tan Yun closed his eyes, as if savoring the sweetness of tea.

Then he opened his eyes and stared at Yao Shao like a torch:

"The old monk has seen nothing else, nothing more than when the building is about to collapse, and it is never possible to support it alone!"

Xiahou Yan suddenly regretted very much that she invited Tan Yun to come.

He said that he broke through the deepest pain in his and her husband's hearts.

And this kind of dissemination does nothing to drive away this suffering.

There was silence in the room.

Yao Shao felt a cold current rising from the bottom of his heart, slowly freezing his meridians, bones, and flesh, freezing all his strategies and schemes, and also freezing his inner hope for Daqin to survive this great crisis.

But does Daqin really want the building to collapse?

No, it won't! Although the Jin army's vanguard was fierce, it was blocked in Tongguan, like a wolf being tightly sandwiched in the crack of the door, unable to advance or retreat, hungry, as long as he swung the stick again, it was enough to smash its skull. After defeating the vanguard of Wang Zhenxi, Shen Linzi, and Tan Daoji, and recapturing Tongguan, even if Liu Yu's army arrived, he could only face the victorious division above the fortified city, and that kind of embarrassing situation was something that any experienced veteran soldier could avoid.

Is Daqin so desperate?

Thinking of this, he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and then shook his head at Tan Yun:

"Is the Great Monk saying that Great Qin is going to collapse?"

Tan Yun began to rub his belly:

"The poor monk is hungry!"

Xiahou Yan hurriedly stood up and wanted to say that the feast was ready, but Tan Yun gestured:

"Bring me such a big pancake first!"

Surprised.

Do so.

Tan Yun seriously spread the cake on the table, looked at the direction, dipped it in tea, and wrote the words east, west, south, north and south around the cake, and then tore off a piece from the east and ate it, and then ate three pieces in turn, and finally rolled up the remaining part of the middle and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Stand up and stretch:

"The bottom of the cake is at the bottom, so you can eat some soup. When you have eaten enough, you will go to the practice. ”

Xiahou Yan hurriedly Zhang Luo, originally wanted Yao Shao to accompany her, but when she saw that Yao Shao was not guarding her soul and turned a blind eye, she had to take Tan Yun to the next door first.

Yao Shao had to admire this monk who looked like a chattering god.

With a piece of cake, he has clearly played the danger facing the country. The Jin army divided the troops into three routes, grabbed Tongguan, detained Wuguan, and forced Puban, which was the encroachment of the three mouths in the southeast and west, while the north was Rouran who had been pressing step by step, intending to take advantage of the chaos to swallow the whale. If the Quartet is not protected, the piece of bread in the middle will of course be swept away by a strong enemy.

No, he can't care about eating now, and he doesn't want to eat, he wants to write a recital to the emperor immediately, and ask him to immediately requisition men between the ages of 16 and 50 in the territory, recall all retired veterans, and form a new main force, and at the same time immediately take out the treasures in the palace, plus the wealth of the princes and nobles, and go to negotiate with Rouran, asking them to stop the invasion, so that the country can dissolve the two-front combat posture and concentrate on dealing with the tiger and wolf army from the south.

He writes very quickly.

There are no blockages.

Twice sent people to cut off the enemy's grain routes, and twice suffered defeats, but the emperor did not even spit out a word of reproach.

The more silent, the more stressful.

Well, let me break this awkward silence with a thunderclap.

He rustled as he wrote, the sound making the room quieter.

I vaguely heard the laughter of Tan Yun next door.

A pro-soldier walked in, and without waiting for him to speak, Yao Shao first raised his hand and made a gesture to stop:

"I can't take care of eating now, I sue the monk for how much I have offended, please ask my wife to accompany him."

The pro-soldiers don't seem to have any intention of leaving.

He looked up and was ready to say, Are you deaf?

Seeing that the soldier's face turned pale.

"General Yu, the Jin army sent someone to send three boxes, which contained"

Three boxes?

"What?"

A big tear fell from the eyes of this young man in his early 20s:

"Pretending to be Yao Changshi's head!"

Xiahou Yan was about to sandwich a dish into Tanyun's plate, when she suddenly heard her husband screaming next door, followed by a heavy crash, and then another person's exclamation, her hand shook, the dish fell into the soup pot, and the spilled soup fell on Tanyun's monk's robe.

rushed into the next room and saw Yao Shao lying on his back facing the ground, and there was a piece of paper with a lot of words written on the desk, and the paper was sprinkled with red juice.

Her legs were already weak, but she still struggled to rush to Yao Shao's side, trying to hold him in her arms. She saw blood gurgling out of Yao Shao's mouth, stretched out her hand to try, and her fingers suddenly retracted as if they were burned by fire.

Yao Shao was out of breath.

The moment Tan Yun slowly walked into the house, he heard Xiahou Yan's heart-rending cry.

He knew that Yao Shao would be martyred for Great Qin, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, in such a grief-stricken and heartbroken way.

The soldiers poured in, and the cries spread from the room to the court, and then to the outside of the courtyard, and soon the entire camp was drowned in the tears of thousands of men. It won't be long before countless men who have fought with this veteran will wash their faces with tears. In the sky of this country, a huge star will fall.

Tan Yun picked up the blood-soaked paper on the desk and saw the last few lines:

"Although the minister is alone, he wants to save ten thousand trees and the sky; The king has all the qiang, and he can unite the people and defend the country. Wuhou bowed to his best, and his ministers were ashamed of his wisdom and dared to serve his loyalty; The overlord broke the cauldron and sank the boat, and the ministers had no power and admired their bravery. Break the white head and kill the enemy, and break a thousand intestines to repay the king. Now the strong enemy is in the claws, and the suburbs are in all directions."

Sigh lightly.

Amitabha!

Yao Shao, the hero of the Qiang people, died like this, but he didn't know if it was not his blessing?
