Chapter 573: It's the gentlemen who go with me to fight
The winding moon is like a shining boat, floating in the night ocean.
The corpses in the town have been disposed of by the Luoyang Army, and a few Luoyang Army officers and soldiers are carrying torches to search for the dead bodies that can be missed.
Standing outside the door of a private house, Liu Wei pressed the hilt of his sword, twisted his brows tightly, and looked at the fires jumping in the night in the distance.
Although the dead bodies on the bluestone path had already been buried, there were still soldiers of the Luoyang Army who searched for scattered corpses from the houses.
The whole town has been slaughtered and cut off from its roots, and even half of the living people cannot be found.
Behind Liu Wei, stood Guan Qing, who was also wearing armor, and Cai Yan, who was wearing a plain white Luo skirt.
Liu Bian's face was full of solemnity, and neither of the two women spoke.
At this time, they don't know what to say!
Women's hearts are always softer than men's, and they feel better in the towns they have passed before, although there are no living people and no corpses have been seen.
But in the town in front of them, they saw the most desolate and miserable scene in the world, how could they still be at peace in their hearts?
"Akihime!" Standing silently for a long time, Liu Wei finally spoke and said softly to Cai Yan, who was standing behind him: "This king wants to hear you stroke a piece of Yaoqin, so as to appease the souls of those who are still wandering here!" ”
"No!" Liu Wei said that he wanted to hear her caress Yaoqin, Cai Yan responded gently, first bowed slightly, saluted Liu Wei, and then turned his head and beckoned to an accompanying maid behind him.
Seeing Cai Yan beckoning, the maid bowed, turned around and walked towards the place where Cai Yan's luggage was placed.
After a while, the two soldiers of the Luoyang Army, I don't know from which house, found a clean straw mat and a small low table.
Carrying the low table, when Liu Wei approached, the two Luoyang soldiers placed the low table and straw mat properly, clasped their fists and saluted Liu Wei, Guan Qing, and Cai Yan, and then turned around and left.
The maidservant who was ordered to fetch Yaoqin followed behind the two soldiers, and when the soldiers walked away, she knelt down beside the low table, lightly placed Yaoqin on the low table, and gently uncovered the silk wrapped around Yaoqin.
After the maidservant placed the yaoqin properly, Cai Yan moved the lotus step lightly, walked to the straw mat and knelt down.
She first stretched out her slender jade fingers, gently plucked the strings twice, and waited until the timbre was adjusted, and then she stroked it intently.
The sound of the piano tintin, and the thin moonlight of the first quarter moon, drifted faintly in the night.
Ten fingers were delicate, plucking the thin strings, and the strings trembled lightly, making a melodious sound. The sound of the piano is like the cold wind screaming in the wilderness, like the wandering souls in the town whimpering and singing, just the rhythm is full of sorrow and desolation, so that all the Luoyang soldiers who heard the sound of the piano stopped what they were busy doing, and their eye sockets flashed with tears, quietly listening to the sound of the piano fluttering in the night.
"Han Ji lost his authority, Dong Zhuo was always ......in turmoil" With the melodious sound of the piano floating, Cai Yan lightly opened her lips and sang the long poem she made improvised with a choked emphasis.
In the past, in the palace, Liu Wei had only heard Cai Yan play the yaoqin, and the songs were all sung for him by Diao Chan or Tang Ji.
What he didn't expect was that Cai Yan was not only a talented woman in the past and present, but also had a more graceful singing voice than a nightingale.
The song was beautiful and poignant, full of sad words that struck people's hearts.
"There is no left behind, and the corpses resist each other. Hanging the man's head on the side of the horse, carrying the woman behind the horse......" Accompanied by the music of Yaoqin, Cai Yan's singing voice became more and more poignant, when she sang this sentence, she couldn't help but raise her face, looking at the crescent moon in the night sky, thinking of the miserable scene she saw when she first entered the town, tears had already covered her face.
"Huns! I******! When Cai Yan sang this sentence "The head of the man is hung by the horse, and the woman is carried behind the horse", Liu Wei could no longer suppress the anger that had already accumulated in his chest, pulled out his long sword, slammed the long sword to the ground, and scolded loudly: "If Lao Tzu doesn't fight until you die and exterminate the species, I will never be the king of Luoyang again in this life!" ”
The long sword was inserted in the gap between the two bluestone slabs on the ground, and the body of the long sword stood diagonally upright, trembling slightly because the strength had not yet been completely exhausted.
Liu Bian's roar floated far away, and almost all the Luoyang soldiers who heard him roar were stunned, staring at the direction where Liu Biao was.
Since following Liu Wei, the soldiers of the Luoyang Army have never heard him swear.
In the minds of the officers and soldiers of the Luoyang Army, although Liu Wei is young, he has a kind of prestige that comes from the bottom of his bones without anger and self-authority.
was able to scold this sentence in front of the soldiers and in front of his wife, and everyone knew that Liu Wei was already angry.
Stopping the action of playing Yaoqin, Cai Yan turned his head sideways and raised his face to look at Liu Yan, who was pale and had tears on his face although he roared loudly.
Cai Yan's snow-white neck was also twitching slightly, and tears were all over her face.
Guan Qing, who was standing behind Liu Wei, clenched her fists tightly, as if she was holding something in her palm, and she was trying her best to crush and flatten what she was trying to grasp.
She closed her eyes slightly, and slowly raised her face, trying to stop the tears that were rolling in her eye sockets.
But the moment she raised her face and closed her eyelids, two tears as bright as pearls still slipped down her fair face.
Serenity! There was a suffocating silence.
The town where 50,000 Luoyang troops gathered fell into an extremely strange tranquility in this night!
"Woo woo ......" I don't know how long it took, a man's whimper came from a distance, followed by countless whimpering sounds, the whole town seemed to be infected by the sad atmosphere, and many Luoyang soldiers couldn't help but squat on the ground to hide their faces and cry.
"Cry! Cry! Cry a mother! There were more and more Luoyang soldiers hiding their faces and crying, and just when the cries were almost connected, a rough voice echoed in the town: "It's all gentlemen, there is a kind of going to fight the Huns with Lao Tzu!" Squatting here and crying, damn it, don't say you're the Luoyang Army in the future! ”
It was none other than Dian Wei, who was named "the evil of the ancients" because of his ugly appearance and fierce appearance.
When this "ancient evil" roared, he didn't know it, although his shout was full of momentum, but tears were already surging in his eye sockets.
After Dian Wei let out a roar, many Luoyang soldiers stopped crying, but there were also a few who were relatively emotionally fragile and did not immediately put away their tears.
Striding to the side of a Luoyang army who did not stop in time, Dian Wei raised his foot and kicked the Luoyang army's buttocks.
Due to Liu Wei's strict discipline on weekdays, there has never been a general or officer beating or scolding a soldier in the Luoyang army, and it is precisely because of this that Dian Wei's kick is not too hard.
was kicked on the buttocks, and the Luoyang army stumbled, rushed forward two steps, and almost fell to the ground.
Kicking on the buttocks of the Luoyang soldiers, Dian Wei stretched out his hand and pulled out the double halberds from his back, and shouted at the Luoyang soldiers present with the double halberds: "Take the seeds, come with me to find the Huns to fight!" Don't be a here! ”
As he spoke, he was already holding a halberd and strode towards the entrance of the town.
Dian Wei had just walked a few steps when Liu Wei, who heard him shouting and walked towards him, stopped in front of him.
"Dian Wei!" Blocking Dian Wei's way head-on, Liu Wei glared at him and shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”
"The Huns killed us Central Plains people, and they will fight with them in the end!" With a double halberd in his hand, seeing Liu Wei blocking the way, Dian Wei hurriedly stopped his steps and answered loudly.
"Where are the Huns? Where are you going to fight them? Glaring at Dian Wei fiercely, Liu Wei asked him: "I don't even know where people are, so I shout to fight!" At that time, if you fall into an ambush by the Huns, you will have to put your life in the hands of the Huns? ”
was asked by Liu Bian, Dian Wei was stunned, opened his mouth a few times, and failed to answer the question raised by Liu Bian.
"Soldiers!" Glaring at Dian Wei again, Liu Wei pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, raised the other hand high, and shouted to the soldiers of the Luoyang Army in the town: "The Huns slaughtered the civilians of our Central Plains, and we were born as Han officials, how can we endure it?" ”
When Liu Wei shouted to the soldiers, all the Luoyang troops in the town fell silent, silently listening to Liu Wei's shouting to them.
"The Xiongnu slaughtered civilians in Bingzhou, if our army does not break it in time, one day, they will kill Hedong! Kill Hongnong! Enter Luoyang! Standing straight, Liu Wei still had tears on his face that had not yet been wiped away, and shouted loudly to the soldiers of the Luoyang Army: "Our home is behind, and our relatives are still waiting for the good news of our triumph!" Do you tell this king that it is not us who you are willing to let your relatives wait, but the Huns? ”
"I don't want to!" As soon as Liu Wei's shout fell, the 50,000 Luoyang troops in the town all raised their arms high and let out a roar in unison.
"Since you don't want to, then follow this king to kill the Huns! Drive them out of our land! Raising his arm, Liu Wei raised his arm and let out a shout: "If you don't break the Huns, you will be in vain for the world!" ”
"If you don't break the Huns, you will be in vain for the world!" All the Luoyang troops shouted with Liu Wei's raised arms, their roars shook the sky, and the crescent moon in the night sky seemed to tremble slightly a few times as if in their shouts.
When the shouts of the soldiers fell, the rhythm of Yaoqin sounded again, and Cai Yan's poignant singing once again knocked on people's hearts.
"Your Highness!" Just when Liu Wei and the soldiers were silent, listening to Cai Yan's singing and the fairy-like tune, a dragoon guard ran towards him quickly, and when Liu Wei approached, he bowed down to Liu Wei and said, "I found a living one!" ”
"What?" Hearing that he had found a living one, Liu Wei suddenly opened his eyes, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he shouted to the dragoon: "Quickly lead this king forward!" ”
