Chapter 39: Be a Great General for You
The eagle strikes the sky, the fish soars to the bottom of the pool, the tiger roars deep in the mountains, and the camel walks away the desert.
All things are blooming their own lives, not to mention human beings, only by letting go of their hearts, climbing the peak forever, and even sacrificing their lives for righteousness, can they enjoy the value of life and let life shine.
At this moment, Mo Chu didn't have time to think about this. He didn't wait for Hu Jun to finish speaking, and he had already swept out a few zhang away.
He tried his best to find the location of the handsome banner of the Vietnamese army, and he ran rapidly, dozens of sharp arrows kept shooting at him. He dodged left and right and finally approached the banner, and then raised his sword and slashed hard, only to feel a sharp pain in his back, and the eight-foot spear of Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Vietnamese army, had pierced his back.
Mo Chu gritted his teeth and cut down the banner, and then with a backhand wave, Zhang Sheng's spear had been cut into two pieces. Zhang Sheng was intimidated by his momentum and spurred his horse to flee.
Mo Chu shouted, "The flag of the Vietnamese army has fallen, put down your arms and surrender immediately!"
The soldiers of the Chu army also shouted. As soon as the Vietnamese army saw that the general situation was gone, they began to flee.
Soon, 100,000 Vietnamese troops, those who died and those who fled, and the Chu army won a complete victory.
Seeing that the Vietnamese army had been defeated, the taut strings on Mo Chu's body finally broke, and he fell to the ground and passed out.
When he woke up, it was noon the next day. When he opened his eyes, he saw Nangong Xin, Zhen Cheng, and Hu Jun standing anxiously at the head of the bed looking at him.
"Brother Chu, you scared me to death, didn't you even want your life for the sake of victory?" Nangong Xin said while crying.
A smile squeezed out of Mo Chu's pale face, "Silly girl, don't you see that I'm good, why are you crying." ”
Hu Jun also stepped forward, "Mo Shaoxia, this is the best gold sore medicine, change it once a day, and in less than half a month, I will ensure that you will live and survive." ”
"Thank you, General Hu. Mo Chu replied weakly.
"Mo Shaoxia, you're polite, I'll be your person in the future, if you let me go east, I will never go west!" Hu Jun patted his chest and said.
Mo Chu smiled faintly, "General Hu, if you don't dislike it, I will call you big brother in the future." ”
"I can't ask for it, good brother!" Hu Jun held Mo Chu's hand tightly.
Half a month later, Mo Chu's injuries healed. During this period, the news of Gongsun Qi's martyrdom and the good news of the defeat of the Yue army have been submitted to the king of Chu. The king of Chu posthumously crowned Gongsun Qi, rewarded the generals, and sent Nangong Qing to visit Mo Chu, hoping that he could serve as a general. Mo Chu was still hesitating.
"Chu'er, after so much, it's time for you to mature, you have to shoulder the burden on your shoulders. Besides, the King of Chu treats you well and values you very much, so you should also make a career!" Nangong Qing said seriously.
"Brother Chu, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about me, for my sake, you should accept the position of general. The state of Chu needs you, and I need you too. Nangong Xin's eyes were hazy with tears.
"Brother Mo, it was you who recommended Brother Gongsun to be the general, and now that he is gone, should you do something for him, I think Brother Gongsun Jiuquan also wants you to replace him." Besides, this defeat of the Yue army, the Yue State will definitely not give up, and will definitely gather a large army to attack the Chu State, and the Chu State will be really dangerous at that time. Zhen Cheng choked up.
"Little brother, I have seen many people in my life, but no one is more suitable to be the general of the Chu State than you. Hu Jun also persuaded.
It was late at night, Mo Chu couldn't sleep in bed, everyone's words echoed in his ears, he wanted to follow everyone's advice, but he was afraid of becoming the person he hated.
Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a small noise, and then a dark shadow leaped into the room. He was about to call out when the shadow had already swept over, and he immediately shut his mouth, because he already knew who it was.
"Why don't you shout, don't think I'll thank you if you don't say anything?" the dark shadow rebuked in a low voice.
"The General's Mansion is so heavily guarded, you still dare to come, you don't want to die?" Mo Chu also lowered his voice.
"You beat Yue Guo so badly, can I not come, I will be killed by you sooner or later anyway, what am I afraid of?" the black shadow said resentfully.
"If you hadn't broken the embankment and killed Gongsun Qi and came to attack us, would there have been this ending?" Mo Chu was also furious.
"Yes, that's right, you are a great hero, a great sage! Now because of this defeat, the people of the Yue country blame it on my father, and my father's life is even more difficult. Ouyang Xue was heartbroken.
"Is your father sad, I told you a long time ago, don't invade the Chu State, you just don't listen. Because 60,000 people died in this war, 60,000 people!" Mo Chu said hatefully.
"I hate war, as long as there is a war, no matter whether you win or lose, many people will die, which is why I have always rejected the king of Chu and did not want to be a general. Mo Chu continued.
"I hate war, too, but it's up to the two of us to decide. If it weren't for you in this war, I don't know how many people would have died in the Yue Kingdom. Although I hate you, hate your bravery and shrewdness, and hate you for giving us the defeat of the Yue Kingdom, I still have to thank you, without you, we would have died at least 80,000 people, not the current 50,000. For the sake of the people of the two countries of Yue Chu, I hope that you will come to serve as the general of the Chu State. Ouyang Xue asked.
"Do you really want me to be the general of the Chu State?" asked Mo Chu.
"To be honest, I don't want to, I hope that Chu State does not have a person like you. Because of your existence, the Yue Kingdom will never be able to swallow the Chu State, but I also hope that other people in the Chu State will serve as generals, so that more people will die in the Yue Kingdom. The lesser of the two can only be compared. Ouyang Xue said helplessly.
"Why do you have to annex the Chu State, isn't it good for everyone to live in peace?" Mo Chu said sharply.
"You're a fool and you think everyone is as kind as you. Ouyang Xuejiao scolded.
"What's so bad about being a fool, why do you have to bleed. Mo Chujun's brows furrowed.
"I won't tell you, for the sake of the people of the world, I hope you will agree to my request. Ouyang Xue stared at Mo Chu.
Mo Chu sighed, although he didn't want to be the person he hated, but if his existence could avoid war, killing, and peace in the world, what if he was aggrieved.
Even if you can't completely get rid of the war, it's not a good thing that you shed less blood, a few fewer deaths, and a few fewer orphans. If you can help more people with the power in your hands, why not make yourself hate yourself.
For so many years, I have been like a speck of dust, and it is annoying wherever it falls, but now I seem to have a little value, and my existence can change something, so seize this opportunity to make my disliked grassroots a little bit into a small tree.
Thinking of this, his heart cleared up, and he had found his direction.
"It's late at night, you go back, I promise you to be the general of Chu State. ”
A smile appeared on Ouyang Xue's face.
"I knew you'd figure it out, you never disappoint. ”
"Are you really so optimistic about me?"
"It's not just me, a lot of people think you're amazing. ”
It was already exciting to be respected by his opponent, and now he was praised by a strong opponent, Mo Chu felt extremely satisfied, and the other party was a smart, cold, and noble princess.
Ouyang Xue glanced at him affectionately, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
