Chapter Twenty-Four: Even if we meet, we don't know each other
Night fell quietly. But this night was different, as the sky was dyed red by the light of the fire.
Killing, wailing...... Those are far away from Liu Yue. Liu Yu just stood at the mouth of the cave, looking at the red flames, admiring, and then in a daze. A war that shouldn't have belonged to him, he really became an outsider, standing in the distance and admiring the masterpiece directed by him.
The battle situation is impermanent, and Liu Yu does not know what the outcome of the frontline battlefield will be.
In the cave, Xu Xuanzhu had already woken up, and could only see a man silently chanting something to the sky against the backdrop of the fire at the entrance of the cave, she wanted to struggle to stand up, but she couldn't do it, so she had to lean against the wall in the cave. I wanted to call him, but Liu Yu had already turned his head, but unfortunately his back was to the light and he couldn't see his face clearly.
"It's unimaginable, magnificent psalms." Liu Yu didn't know if Lu Dao was talking to Xu Xuanzhu, or if he was talking to himself, "I don't know if Lu Dao won or lost." If you lose, things can be a headache. β
Crazy! Xu Xuanzhu was angry, a general, left the front-line post and hid in a cave to talk to a madman. Although this madman was her lifesaver, she had no intention of repaying the favor to him.
"You deserter, why don't you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" Xu Xuanzhu roared angrily.
"Kill? My strength is so small that I can barely carry you, so I can only be regarded as a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken. Liu Yu was a little self-deprecating, and said helplessly.
Xu Xuanzhu suddenly felt very bored, his own roar, this person actually just replied lightly, everything seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Xu Xuanzhu wanted to return to the battlefield to be with the soldiers of his daughter's army, and he wanted to call this madman to come over to help, but he felt that asking a madman to help would lose face.
At this moment, several townsmen hurriedly returned, all of whom had been with Liu Yushun just now, and reported to him the battle they had heard from the front.
"General, the Turkic barbarians threw down the corpse and ran away, and General Zhang is leading people to chase and kill him." Xiang Yong didn't know the exact origin of Liu Yu and others in Ludao, but he only knew that the officials in the Ludao barracks should be called generals, and the officials and junior officials should also be called generals.
The villagers were brave and rushed to the "General Liu" in front of them like a god. A group of barbarians, just won without much effort. The victory in front of us was too tragic to be remembered for a lifetime.
"This horseman, let him take care of his injuries, and actually lead people to chase the enemy, thinking that his four legs can be faster than the four legs of the Iron Wolf Guard?" Liu Yu instructed, "Hurry up and inform Qi ...... General, let him recover those people, he can't lose his lives in vain, it's more important to come back and clean up the battlefield! β
Xiang Yong immediately took the order.
Liu Yu turned his head, and under the light of the fire, the face of the woman opposite was a little more grim and beautiful, although she seemed to be angry. The angry look is also very good.
"You're a general?" Xu Xuanzhu asked suddenly.
"Oh, I'm just a mediocre person, I don't dare to compare with General Xu." Liu Yu was also humble at this time.
Xu Xuanzhu asked solemnly, "Why are you here?" Who is your manager? Who's the order to come here to ambush? β
These questions are all things that Liu Yu will not be able to say for a while, and if he can't say it, he won't say it, anyway, there will be an opportunity to say it in the future, and he is not in a hurry. Liu Yu turned his head and continued to look at the bright sky outside the cave, and suddenly said: "I don't know how many souls have been buried under the flames of the road."
Xu Xuanzhu really wanted to step forward and smack him, but he didn't answer the question, and his tone was really unbearable. Could it be the strange temper peculiar to literati? Looking at his appearance as a commander of his subordinates, he should be a Confucian general with qualifications, and he turned over all the well-known generals in his mind, and none of them were right.
"General Ben asks you, what is your last name?"
Liu Yu turned to look at her, wanting to tell her that he was your fiancΓ©, but when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't speak. If she had been willing to accept someone she didn't know as her husband, they would have been married a long time ago, and they wouldn't have met like today, without even knowing their names.
"Sometimes my people and my name are confused by myself."
Another crazy word.
Xu Xuanzhu angrily touched a stone from the ground and threw it at Liu Yue, who dodged lightly and smiled slightly.
The smile was very bright, although Xu Xuanzhu couldn't see it clearly, but she could feel a sincere, flawless smile. In her memory, no one had ever laughed so indifferently to her. It's like a mockery.
Hateful! Sooner or later, I will know who you are, and I am afraid that I will run away from you? For some reason, Xu Xuanzhu also had a little smile on his face when he made up his mind, and the thief man's smile was too infectious.
"Master! I...... I'm here......" Su Yan looked dehydrated, appeared at the mouth of the cave, was helped by Liu Yu, raised his head and smiled, and then grinned a little exaggeratedly, and smiled but couldn't laugh.
"Master...... What a fucking miserable ...... We won...... Hahaha...... The Turkic Iron Wolf Guard ran a little way, and the more than 20,000 cavalry that followed their legs almost all declined, some were burned, drowned, and stoned...... Master...... Am I dreaming? β
Su Yan seemed to see his own Juelu, a splendid future, as if he saw all the people who despised him bowing down and admitting their mistakes in front of him. Thinking too much, the whole person is a little carried away.
"Be restrained, don't be ashamed." Liu Yu's eyes glanced at the inside of the cave, and Su Yan noticed that there were people in the cave, and when he saw that it was General Xu in a red robe, he was in awe, put away his arrogant hand and said, "Say hello to General Xu." β
Immediately afterwards, Li Mi and Sui Yi hurriedly came to the cave.
"I've finally found you, Brother Liu." Li Mi was out of breath, "The fire on the river bank is almost extinguished, and the daughter army is looking for General Xu's whereabouts everywhere, saying that the whole army wants to continue to chase the remnants of the Turkic Iron Wolf Guard, and we ...... Do you want to cooperate with them in the pursuit of the enemy? β
The damage of the daughter army is not much better than that of the Turkic cavalry, and the people in the ambush circle are not enough to stop the iron wolf guards who are against God.
"Our task is to clear the battlefield, and the extra ones should be handed over to the daughter army and subsequent reinforcements."
Lu Chu'er also arrived with several guards from the daughter army, flashed out of the crowd, and looked at him expectantly.
"Captain Lu, your general seems to be injured in there, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the fatigue of the carriage and horses."
When Lu Chuer and several female guards first heard that General Xu was still alive, they were excited, especially Lu Chuer, who was not dead, and was finally able to return to the team to see General Xu, whom they admired, as if they were in a different world.
"Don't bother with this general." Although Xu Xuanzhu may have broken his ribs after falling from a horse, he still gritted his teeth and walked out of the cave step by step with his sword, Lu Chu'er went up and hugged Xu Xuanzhu tightly, his eyes were full of tears, a thousand words, and he only said one sentence in Xu Xuanzhu's ear.
"Original...... The boy who painted outside Chang'an City that day was you. Xu Xuan Zhuxing tried his best to see Liu Yu's appearance clearly, but the light was too dim and he still couldn't see it clearly. Xu Xuanzhu was about to rush to organize the daughter army to chase the remnants of the Turkic Iron Wolf Guard, and parted, but he bowed his head slightly and said: "If you are really a scholar who is powerless, thank you." β
Until she watched the figure of the jade man disappear into the bushes, Liu Yu didn't understand whether she thanked him for saving her, or thanked him for helping her draw a picture.
Even if they meet, they don't know each other, and even Xie Ren is so ambiguous.
Now Liu Yu no longer has the heart to think about this, a tragic battle, tens of thousands of corpses were left alone, burying the corpses, treating the wounded, dealing with prisoners, and dealing with the imperial court...... Anyway, there is a lot of work in the next few days.
As the group walked on the way to the riverbank, there were sporadic small-scale battles, usually a few people or villagers gathered around to stab the stubborn Turks like hedgehogs. Whenever he passed by, Liu Yu would also stop and remind those people and villagers that Turks are also people, and as long as they surrender, they cannot be killed.
Seeing that Liu Yue was sullen, Su Yan couldn't help but ask, "Master, is that General Xu...... Is it the future teacher? β
"Huh?"
Liu Yu was too focused on thinking about how to write a recital for the imperial court, he was stunned for a while, looked back slightly, and smiled slightly: "Is it?" It should be, I just hope that when your master marries me in the future, she will be willing, instead of hitting me with a stone like today. β
