On February 21, 1937, the Third Plenum of the Kuomintang Central Committee passed a resolution accepting the Communist Party's proposal to establish a united front. At this point, the 10-year civil war was basically over. The anti-Japanese national united front was basically formed.

——

It was an eventful night.

A group of soldiers went out of the large camp outside the city, led by several officers, and took advantage of the night to come to the city to call the door. As soon as the city gate was closed, the centurion who guarded the city carried a lantern up to the tower, and it was windy to climb up, and there was no shelter on the wall, especially cold. He craned his neck and looked down, and several officers under the city were vaguely familiar; He thought for a moment, and couldn't remember in whose army he had seen it.

"The general has an order to close the door at night. Who are the outsiders? So what's going on? ”

The officer leading the team took the torch in the hand of one of the people beside him and illuminated his face; In the red light and shadow of the fire, he raised his head and said with a smile: "General Shi? Under the command of General Chen, Li Laosan forgot to deliver the cold-proof materials to the city during the day, and pulled this point down; Early tomorrow morning, General Chen will personally inspect it. Okay, open the door; You know, General Shi, General Chen governs the army strictly, if Ming'er is discovered by him, our brothers will not be able to protect their heads. ”

Shuangcheng is located on a plateau, and it is extremely cold in winter; There were many inhabitants in the city, and it had only just gone through a siege battle, and many houses were destroyed, and it was impossible to do it without proper preparation. Deng She had earlier ordered that surplus cotton clothes and other goods from the counties outside the city be transferred, and all the trees in the mountains should be cut down and transported into the city; or for non-commissioned officers and officials, or for repairs and damage to people's houses.

The centurion, surnamed Shi, knew that the day was indeed carried for a day; Although he was a garrison directly under Shuangcheng, Chen Hu was strict in managing the army, but he had also heard of it. Having said that, Chen Hu is strict in managing the army, Deng She is even stricter in managing the army, and the military orders are like mountains, so he dare not disobey them.

He shook his head, unable to help, and said, "I'm sorry, brother." You're afraid of losing your head, and I'm afraid of losing your head. The general strictly ordered that after the city gate was closed, those who did not have a military order were forbidden to be released; Tomorrow morning, you can come back when the city gate is opened. ”

"Our family is also a family name, five hundred years ago. Dude forgot? Last time, General Ou had a treat, and we drank together. My own brother, my brother can't see death without help! ”

General Ou is the top boss of this centurion surnamed Shi, a thousand-year-old. The surname Shi is an alcoholic, he loves to drink two glasses when he has nothing to do, and when he drinks it, he will be high, and he will lose his memory when he is high; Listening to the officer's words, he tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember; I also know that I have a problem of forgetting things after drinking, and people give him a hot face, but I can't give him a cold ass.

At that moment, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Brother Shi, remember it." Family, family. Touching his face, the wind blew painfully, and he said, "The family doesn't speak two words." Since they are all from this family, brother, to tell you the truth, without a military order, my brother really doesn't dare to let you in. ”

After all, he had a friendship with the wine party, so he paused, helped the officer come up with an idea, and said, "General Chen Ming'er wants to check that it is not fake, and he will not get up too early in the cold." As soon as the gate opens here, you will come in, brother, you will definitely be in time! What do you think? ”

The officer whispered a few words to the people around him, smiled bitterly, and said, "Brother, I believe in your charter ticket; General Chen's package ticket, none of us know. Even if we don't sleep all night, stay outside the city, and enter the city early in the morning; I'm afraid of General Chen's whim,......" He slashed his hand to his neck, "I don't have a head!" ”

A person next to him said: "The general upstairs said that if there is a military order, it will be fine." We have a tiger talisman given by General Chen, why don't you come and show it to the general upstairs? ”

"Tiger Talisman, not a military order. That's it, don't embarrass our family,......, at most lose your head, but it's a pity that you didn't die on the battlefield, you died under military law, it's really a shame. ”

His words are the concept that Deng She usually transmits to the sergeants and soldiers: Hu Lu occupies my land and captivates my people, but all bloody men will be humiliated; A manly husband, when he dies on the battlefield, he is not in vain the body given by his father and mother, and he is worthy of his ancestors when he dies. All in all, in a word, it means that the soldiers are required to "be brave in public battles and cowardly in private fights".

When the centurion surnamed Shi upstairs heard that his family had died at the hands of the Mongols, he suddenly had a good feeling, and he hesitated for a moment, stopped the group of people who turned around to leave, and asked, "Tiger Fu?" Did General Chen give it? ”

"yes. Brother, you know, going to the mountains to cut wood, going to the counties to collect cotton clothes and other things, you need to mobilize the army, for convenience, General Chen gave us half of the tiger talisman to calm down the ten thousand households, so that we can act. ”

The rank of the hundred households surnamed Shi is not high, and he has never heard of things such as tiger charms, but he knows that this is a certificate for the transfer of troops. Looking at the people downstairs again, his earnest face, he thought in his heart: "General Chen is a close confidant of the general, and he has his tiger talisman,...... but there is still a question, he asked: "There is a tiger talisman,...... How long does it take for dude to enter the city? ”

"Half an hour at most."

Look at the officer under the city, he is not very old, he is already a deputy Qianhu military position, and he wants to have a great future; He only needs to enter the city for half an hour, and when he enters, he will go out, and no one will know. The officer surnamed Shi made a decision and said, "Okay, let's make an exception for my family." As long as you can bring the Tiger Talisman, I will let you into the city. ”

The tiger talisman is not something that anyone can ask for, if he can really come, the background must not be small. The officer under the city was overjoyed, turned and left; After a while, I brought a tiger talisman. The evaluation of the hundred households surnamed Shi suddenly rose to a new level: the future is great.

is in the same army, give him a convenience today, and say that he will have to take care of him tomorrow. The hundred households surnamed Shi pretended to be pretending to be the tiger talisman, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and more than 100 people were let into the city.

"Half an hour?"

None of the people who entered the city wore weapons, and the surnamed Shi briefly checked a few carts of the materials they had advanced, and there was nothing unusual.

His family smiled slightly, looked at the sky, and said, "If it's fast, two quarters of an hour is enough." ”

……

Two more and two moments.

The soldiers who entered the city did not go far, and out of sight of the tower, they abandoned their carts and torches; Drawing a short sword saber from under the car, it shook brightly, and the sword light was cold in the cold night.

"According to the inside line, since * returned to the city, there was no one who slept before the third watch. Every night three watches, he will eat a bowl of ginseng soup; The hour is approaching, and the brothers hurry up. Gentlemen, General Qian treats you and me like a mountain, and without General Qian, there will be no you and me. It will be done, everyone will have 100 households, 1,000 households; Defeat is just death. …… It's a matter of success or failure. ”

The people whispered their promises and divided into four teams; three small strands, a team of about 20 people; A large one, more than 80 people. Led by an officer, they stepped on the frosty stone floor and disappeared into the night.

……

The night watchman, the sound of the bang, echoed in the night for a long time.

Deng Sheshuai's mansion is not far away, in the adjacent Hong Jixun's mansion. Hong Jixun has not yet rested, and in the study, red candles are burning everywhere. He carried a tube of brushes and pondered; On the Goryeo paper spread out on the desk, half of it was already written densely.

Two pretty maids waited for him, grinding ink and pouring tea for him.

Red sleeves add fragrance to read at night, Hong Jixun is different from Deng She, whenever he does things and writes, there must be several beautiful women around him to accompany and serve. The sound alarmed him, he raised his head in a trance, and asked, "Just more drums, how many times?" ”

"It's going to be three more."

Hong Jixun nodded, the hour was still early, far from the time to rest. He has a lot of energy and only needs to sleep two hours a day. There are so many things to do, too many ambitions to achieve. People only see him, and they scold Fang Xuan in front of people and point out the wisdom of the country; No one has ever seen him sleep late at night, and he picks up the lamp.

There is no genius in the world, and the hard-working people live up to the sky.

Outside the window, the night was dark, and the cold wind was whimpering. In the silence of time and space, there was a burst of piano sounds. Hong Jixun suddenly poured his pen and played the piano in the cold night, but he didn't expect that there were such elegant people in the small twin cities? He got up, pushed the window, and the faint sound of the piano came from the west.

The sound of the wind, the shadow of the trees, he heard the tune, and the man played a song "Jieshi Tune • Youlan". According to legend, this song was made by Qiu Ming at the end of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, the tune is low, melodious, and euphemistic; Its voice is small and ambitious, and when you hear it at night, you will be like a wise man expressing his feelings.

The person who played the music was not precise, but the artistic conception in the song was expressed very thoroughly. Hong Jixun followed the sound of the piano and vaguely saw that the spring breeze was blowing, everything was recovering, and the orchids were blooming in the orchid, mixed with wild grasses. It has the name of a gentleman, known as the crown of fragrant flowers, but it was born at the wrong time, so it had to bend over and be with the weeds; I am unwilling, but I am helpless.

The lonely demeanor, the helpless and resentful heart, is lifelike, just like the eyes.

"I sought to be virtuous in Zhucheng, but I didn't expect that there were people around me who didn't meet talents. This is my rerequiretion. Hong Jixun blamed himself. He ordered the little guy outside the door: "Go and see whose piano sounds." ”

……

The sound of the piano is deep and graceful.

If you compare it to indignation; Then hundreds of miles away outside Liaoyang City, it's like a song. Jin Ge Iron Horse, Frost Night Crossing, has the fierceness of "Ambush on All Sides".

The arrival of winter urged Naha to attack day and night. On the city of Liaoyang, the sound of killing shook the sky. Torches, fires everywhere! Arrows, when they enter the eye, are flying flesh and blood. The generals wearing high helmets and heavy armor are swaying their courage and fighting for their lives on this life-and-death battlefield.

The cannon roared and the fire rained down.

The wall in the left corner, which has collapsed twice, is the focus of contention. The warriors and soldiers of our enemies are gathered here like a cloud. The two sides are like two angry beasts, and they will not back down from each other. Whoever dies, let him die on the battlefield; The living, in the eyes of the dead, continue to fight.

"Tonight! If you don't conquer Liaoyang, you will not retreat. ”

Naha's military orders spread throughout the three armies, and a new force of troops, from the camps in all directions, forward, forward; Behind them, another army of reserves, lined up, ready to fill up. They were the waves of iron, wave after wave, almost engulfing the towering Liaoyang.

The Yuan army was in a two-front battle, attacking the city in the front and blocking Mao Jujing in the rear.

Mao Jujing realized Naha's intentions, he didn't want to drag it out any longer, he couldn't drag it out any longer, the sight of the entire Liaodong was here, and this siege battle had been fought for too long. He's going to fight.

Decisive battle tonight.

"How long will it take?" He didn't have a head and didn't have a brain, and asked Xu Ren a word.

"The Tartar siege is in full swing, and attention is ahead; The strategy of the marshal to harass the tired enemy a few days ago was used so well that the rear of the Tartar had no idea what we were going to do. Xu Ren first briefly summarized the battle of the past few days, and then said, "It is going well, and it will take a quarter of an hour at most." ”

"Tell the tribes, the Tartars will be destroyed, just tonight!"

Tonight's decisive battle.

……

Deng She finished reading the official document sent by the governor's office. He stretched and sat for a long time, and his neck ached; A pair of soft little hands gently rested on his shoulders: "The general is tired?" ”

It was Li Jixiu who spoke. After she followed Deng She to Shuangcheng, she officially became a maid like Luo Guannu and others. Her little hands were soft and gentle, pinching Dunshe's neck, and Dunshe closed her eyes comfortably.

"Why does the general have to work so hard?"

Dunsher smiled. Millions of people, tens of thousands of soldiers, don't work hard, can you do it? The bigger the stall, the more responsibility you need to bear; He is no longer just for himself, no longer just for his old brother who got on the horse thief, but for the entire Shuangcheng, the people of Pyongyang, and the Han people.

But he didn't want to talk to Li Jixiu about these words. Why should a woman be sued in the matter of a man's child? He relaxed his mind and enjoyed the rare peace of mind. A little piano sound, into the ear.

He didn't know the rhythm, he couldn't hear any music, but he could hear the sound of the piano close at hand. He was slightly strange: "Who plays the piano?" ”

"General Luo downstairs, I've been playing for a long time, and the general only heard it?"

Reading the official document at the right time, Deng She was so engrossed in it that he didn't notice. He sighed and opened his eyes, why is Luo Guoqi in his mansion? During the day, Deng She inspected the counties, accompanied by Luo Guoqi. After returning to the city, he said that he had something to tell Deng She, and it happened that Wu Henian sent an official document, so Deng She asked him to wait downstairs for the time being.

"But they forgot about him." Deng She pushed Li Jixiu's hand away and called the guards outside the door, "Quick, go and ask General Luo to come up." ”

……

The place where Deng She lived was originally Li Chenggui's mansion, and the Li family was a eunuch for several generations, and he had piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Dunshe was not very kind to this, and never paid attention to it; Luo Guoqi waited downstairs for a long time, and saw that there was a piano on the table, he sat for a long time, and just happened to be depressed, so he played it.

After soothing a song of Youlan, it is still difficult to get rid of it.

He stood up and walked to the door. The night was dark and the clouds were dense. Occasionally, the cold moon reveals a little, and it is less fleeting. The trees in the courtyard are squeezing, and winter is coming. He couldn't help but think of when he was a teenager, studying at Nishan Academy, every winter, there might be snowfall; It is inevitable that three or five friends will step on the snow to find poetry, how elegant, come late, curl up in the warm quilt, take advantage of the snow outside the window, read forbidden books.

There is nothing more joyful in life than this.

In a hurry, the world was in turmoil, and after a few years, the former scholar became the martial artist of the Prancing Horse. He looked at the sky with his hands in his hands and sighed. Fortunately, Fengzhou was defeated, and by mistake, he followed Deng She. Compared with the red scarf generals, Corporal Deng Shelixian, respecting the elderly, and finally having a few days of comfortable life.

However, it is like a blue orchid and a weed. When he reads the books of the saints, how can he be willing to be in the company of vulgar warriors? Seeing that the situation of these twin cities is getting better day by day, not long ago, Deng She even laid down Gaizhou and Liaozuo, which are thriving, and the development is unlimited. He has also gone from a small hundred households to an official position of ten thousand households. To say, it's time to be content.

But, does he really want to go from literature to martial arts from now on? The courage of the martial arts, five steps of blood splashing; Even if he became the head of ten thousand husbands, in his mind, he was far inferior to the scholars in the academy in the past. Self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world, this is the words taught by the sage, and it is also where he is unwilling.

He had the heart to ask Dunshe, but he was afraid that he would not agree.

The night is as cold as ice, and the wind is as cold as a knife. Luo Guoqi tossed and turned, returned to the front of the hall, and sat down again. If Deng Shezhen didn't agree, he couldn't help it. Who told him to be born in troubled times? The edges and corners of his past have long been wiped out by the generals of the red scarf; He looked down on the warriors, and in order to survive, he did not dare to fight up.

A human being is like a morning dew. It's a pity that the body can't be turned into a flowing cloud. He put his left hand on the string and plucked it slightly. He couldn't do Tao Yuanming, and five buckets of rice forced him to bend his waist; He can't do Lin Hejing, the things of the world, what he can't do is just dung and chess.

The strings are stirred, and the sound is insignificant. Luo Guoqi is contradictory, struggling, bowing to reality, it does not mean that his heart is willing to sink, and then stroke the song "Liezi Resists the Wind", Fu Liezi walks against the wind, and he is good, and there are five days in ten and then the opposite.

Although he is surrounded by dark nights, although he is powerless to break away, he is willing to learn from the sages who broke away and saw through it thousands of years ago. Pulling the clouds as clothes, beckoning the wind and clearing the outline, closing his eyes and galloping, and swimming outside the four seas every day. How free?

He couldn't do it, but he wanted to.

……

Hong Jixun turned his head when he heard the sound: "This wise man has the idea of being out of the dust." ”

……

Deng She was slightly surprised: "What tune did you change?" It's like a fresh breeze. ”

……

Outside Liaoyang City, Naha is ten miles out of the company camp; I can't see the end at a glance, at the very end, inside Mao Jujing's handsome tent.

Xu Ren's face was happy: "Report, handsome." The tunnels were dug and waited for the warriors to enter the enemy camp. ”

……

The sound of the piano is clear.

Luo Guoqi has two hands and ten fingers. The right hand wipes, picks, hooks, and ticks, and the left hand kneels, punches, groans, and hits.

The sound of the piano pierced the night sky and resounded throughout the twin cities.

……

Yao Haogu pondered deeply around the room, and suddenly raised his head, his expression changed slightly: "This piano sound,......? ”

……

The little guy who went to find out where the piano sound came from has not returned for a long time.

Hong Jixun couldn't wait to push the door out and go to visit in person. The door was pushed open, and the hand was not withdrawn. He suddenly stopped, surprised: "The sound of the piano pierces through the air and comes to my ears." Why is there ,......?? Killing Voices! ”

……

The sound wave reversed, from Hong Jixun's ears, and went backwards along the route he had come. Passing by the outer wall of the door of Dunshe's mansion, passing through the light and shadow of the dagger and the saber,—— the light and shadow, breaking through the cold night. Ripple paused and left, returning to Luo Guoqi's men.

Luo Guoqi's sorrow was suppressed to the extreme, the sound of the piano was intense, the sky was frosty, and the sun was rising in the east. Suddenly, there was a "pop"; He was stunned, and his hand stopped in mid-air.

The strings are broken.

……

"There are people outside the house, who is eavesdropping?"

……

The third watch is approaching, and Deng She goes downstairs in his clothes.

Li Jixiu took the ginseng soup that was just delivered: "The general has eaten, will he go to meet the guests again?" ”

——

1, why not just bear dung and chess.

Lin Kui, the word and Jing, a young man who is studious, proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but does not know how to play chess, and often says to people: "Everything in the world can be done, but you can't take dung and chess." Although there is a witty element, it can also be seen that he is indifferent by nature.
