Chapter 720: Flying General of the Martial Kingdom
In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the news that Emperor Zhao died at the hands of a divine doctor was transmitted back to Wuguo, and the whole country was shaken. Emperor Zhao posthumously named the divine doctor as the holy hand of the country, loyal and righteous marquis, and erected a monument for the divine doctor, and the name was passed on to future generations.
Emperor Zhao Yan, the new emperor was replaced, the court was turbulent, Zhao was unable to wage war with foreign countries in the short term, and Wu was able to recuperate. However, Emperor Zhao had great ambitions, secretly thought about annexing the Zhao State, avenged the previous revenge, drilled the army day and night, and put the martial arts system on the agenda, paying equal attention to civil and military affairs, as a national policy.
In the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Zhao and Zhou Guo, after solving their worries, sent 300,000 troops to the north to conquer Zhao!
Ten years! After ten years of conquest and war, Zhao and Wu had their own victories and defeats, and there was a stalemate, and Emperor Zhao and the new Emperor Zhao thought of wasting their national strength empty, and they both had the intention of striking out the army and making peace.
However, in this year, the country of Wu produced a martial champion who was both civil and military.
His name is Su Heng.
The Su family lived on the border between Zhao and Wu, but because the Yuan and Ding dynasties were ravaged by the iron hooves of the Zhao State in the early years, the city was almost slaughtered, and a few survivors had to leave their homes and migrate to the interior on foot to avoid the scourge of war.
In the fourth year of Yuan Ding, Su Heng was born, influenced by his father, he hated Zhao Guo deeply, practiced martial arts since he was a child, and wanted to serve the country one day, pacify Zhao State, and sweep the world. And the object of his admiration since childhood is the holy hand of the country who serves the country with his body, Doctor Su.
Su Heng once said when he was a child: The Holy Hand's surname is Su, and I am also surnamed Su; the Holy Hand killed Emperor Zhao, I, Su Heng, want to level the Zhao State!
At a young age, he had such great ambitions, and his neighbors were deeply surprised.
In the twenty-first year of Yuan Ding, Su Heng lived up to his ambition and won the martial arts. After entering the palace to face the saint, Emperor Zhao asked, "What is the way to general?"
Su Heng replied: "For the general to march, first observe the time, then look at the location, and know the people." Use it with text, use it with force, keep it quiet, and move it. Death can survive, death can live, weak can be strong, soft and strong, danger can be safe, disaster can be blessed, unpredictable changes, decisive victory. From above heaven and from under the earth, omniscience. The crowd of 100,000 people, all of them are ineffective, and the scope is curved, and each is extremely wonderful. The law of nature is determined by the opportunity to decide the winner, and the power of God to use it is the wisdom of the inexhaustible, which is the way to pass. ”
Emperor Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and talked with Su Heng about it, and found that this person really had the style of a general. Su Heng and Emperor Zhao Xu said: "Give 100,000 soldiers to the ministers, and within five years, the Zhao State will be defeated! If you can't win, you are willing to bear the crime of bullying the king!"
Emperor Zhao saw his sincere attitude, and pondered Su Heng's talent, not only by force, but also by literary talent, and not weaker than others. After thinking about it repeatedly, Emperor Zhao decided to give Su Heng a chance, Feng Heng as the general of Tianbao, commanded 100,000 troops, and attacked Zhao State in the north on the same day.
In the autumn of the 21st year of the Yuan Dynasty, Su Heng, who was only 17 years old, went north to attack Zhao, displayed his talents, and used the unpredictable opportunity of ghosts and gods to fiddle with the warp and weft, marched and arranged the formation, and in just three months, won the 39th battle of the Zhao State, and annexed the 14 cities of the Zhao State with a furious and rapid advance! At this point, the deadlock between the two countries was completely broken.
When the news reached the imperial capital, the court shook, the whole country shook, and Emperor Zhao crowned Su Heng as General Fei!
The name of General Fei shook the world, and Zhao State, in order to resist the momentum of the Wu State, dispatched eighty percent of the domestic famous to meet the enemy at the border in the future. In the following year, General Fei and many famous generals of Zhao State fought with each other, fighting wits and strength, but they never lost a single defeat, and the world called it a myth.
Finally, at a certain time, after Zhao Guo paid a heavy price, he finally lured General Fei into the hinterland and attacked from all sides. Seeing that the defeat was decided, General Fei rose up and led 3,000 cavalry to kill the Quartet, like the arrival of the gods, the gods were majestic and unstoppable, and the young general shouted, it was like thunder, and the Zhao army retreated again and again.
In the end, General Fei repelled the 50,000 troops of Zhao with 3,000 men and horses, and even did not give up, and continued to lead the remaining 500 soldiers to go deep into the hinterland of Zhao and chase and kill the Zhao army for 180 miles. The soldiers and horses were exhausted and could no longer be killed, General Fei said left and right: "This time to fight back to kill an army, if you take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill the remaining few generals of Zhao Guo, the overall situation can be determined." Wait until you go back first, and see me set the best for the martial arts!"
After General Fei said that, he chased after him alone, and the five hundred soldiers had already been scattered, so he withdrew his troops first and brought the news back after receiving the order.
After this battle, General Fei's prestige is as high as the sky, and even three-year-old children know his name in the martial arts.
When Emperor Zhao heard the good news, the dragon's heart was happy, and he personally named General Fei as the god of war of the martial arts.
However, just as the whole country was celebrating, an accident happened.
General Fei never came back!
It turned out that General Fei saw that the big thing was about to happen, so he was finally in a hurry, and after chasing Zhao Jun for forty or fifty miles alone, he was lost. At this time, it was a cold winter, the north was cold, the snow covered the mountains, General Fei was hungry and cold, and Zhao Bing was gone, as soon as the heartstrings were loosened, the breath in his chest was dispersed, and the scars that had fallen from the previous rush in the army also began to attack, and the pain was unbearable.
Hunger, cold, exhaustion, pain...... Rushing together, General Fei could no longer support it, dropped his horse, and rolled down the hill.
I don't know how long later, when General Fei opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a wooden bed in a grass hut. The snow outside the house had stopped, leaving only the ground full of crystals, and a full moon hung in the dark night sky, like the moonlight of water sprinkled on the snow, reflecting a little light.
Seeing this scene, General Fei's heart gradually calmed down and enjoyed this unprecedented tranquility.
Without the endless war of blood and fire, this place is like a fairyland on earth. For a while, General Fei was a little stupid.
At this time, the door of the house was pushed open, and a woman dressed as a village girl with Chai He on her back walked in, and when she saw General Fei, she was surprised: "Are you awake?"
"Did you save me?" the general asked.
The moonlight shone in through the window, and fell on the delicate face of the village girl, glowing with a little golden light, holy and flawless. This village girl is extremely moving.
The village girl nodded, "I went to the mountains to collect firewood to fight the cold, and I happened to run into you unconscious on the side of the road, so I dragged you back." ”
As she spoke, the village girl wrinkled her nose and complained, "However, you are so heavy, you almost exhausted me to death." ”
The general smiled slightly, "Thank you." ”
The village girl waved her hand disapprovingly, and took a closer look at the general, "Look at your dress, and the injuries on your body, you must be a soldier fighting on the front line, right?"
The general's expression was sluggish, but he still nodded.
When the village girl heard this, she sighed and looked gloomy.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
The village girl hesitated for a while and said, "Actually, I don't live here. ”
"Where does the girl live?"
"Yuzhou, in a small village in Wan County. ”
The village girl's words made the general's body stiffen suddenly, and the little girl was sad, but she didn't pay attention, "I, as well as my father, my mother, my sister, and my younger brother, all live there." Originally, a family of five, although poor, lived a carefree life and lived a decent life. ”
"More than ten years ago, the state of Wu launched a war against the state of Zhao, and the border between the two countries has never been peaceful. Wanxian County is still some distance from the border, and the impact is not very great, but since more than a year ago, Wu Guo produced a flying general, and all this has changed. That flying general conquered the city, conquered everything, was invincible, and directly burned the flames of war to us. My family, and the whole village, almost all died in that massacre......"
The village girl held her cheek raiser and recalled the past, "I am lucky to have survived the war, but I am also unfortunate that I am the only one left in the vast world. ”
"Living here alone, sometimes I'm scared, I don't know what awaits me in the future, and I'm not sure if the wolf-like army will fight here. I'm so uncomfortable, I miss my father, my sister, and my brother. I also want to die in the past and meet my family under Jiuquan, but every time I think of my father and mother, I use myself
My life is so good for me, how can I let them down? Therefore, I can only live strongly, and I can live one day at ......a time."
The village girl paused, glanced at the general, and shook her head helplessly, "Hey, why am I telling you this? The two countries are at war, you are also a victim, and you can't change anything, I will only make you more troubled by telling you this, I'm sorry." ”
The general was silent, just shook his head.
A gentle smile appeared on the village girl's face, "By the way, my name is Wen Zilan, what's your name?"
The general looked up at the village girl and looked at each other, he took the lead in looking away, and was speechless for a while.
The village girl was very understanding, and when she saw this, she said: "It's inconvenient for you to say? Then I'll call you a snow fan in the future, right?
As she spoke, the village girl herself giggled first.
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of the general's mouth.
"You've just woken up, you're probably hungry, aren't you? I'll make you something to eat." ”
The village girl turned and left, leaving the general alone in deep thought.
After that, the general stayed here to recuperate from his wounds. A few months later, although the injury was healed, due to the long cold winter in the north, he could not leave, so he had to stay and live with the village girl.
"Miss Wen, why are you so good to me?"
"Because...... I think you're familiar, like someone I've known since a previous life. ”
"Did you know each other in a previous life? I feel that way. ”
"Ah, really? Maybe we met in the previous life, and we met again in this life. Hee-hee, you say...... Is this a fate arranged by God?"
"Perhaps. ”
"It must be. ”
The general smiled dotingly, looking at the village girl's eyes full of love.
The village girl's face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "Snow fan, when spring returns to the earth, the ice melts, are you going to leave here?"
The general nodded.
The village girl's beautiful eyes were red, and she pursed her lips and did not speak.
After a while, she said, "Snow fan, can you not leave and stay with me, okay?"
The general looked at her.
The village girl's eyes dodged for a while, and finally she stopped shying away, plucked up her courage, and said stubbornly: "I like you! Can you stay for me? I don't want to be alone anymore." ”
The general stared at the village girl for a long time, looked up to the sky and sighed, "Zilan, there is something I should tell you." ”
Looking directly into the eyes of the village girl, the general said: "I am the flying general of the Wu Kingdom! The murderer who brought the flames of war to your village, caused a massacre, and caused great disaster to your family......! The culprit ......"
The village girl was stunned, her pretty face turned pale.
The general knelt on the ground, "I'm sorry, I never thought about making contributions to the Wu country, expanding the territory, and avenging the enmity between the two countries back then, but I didn't expect that it would cause you so much harm." ”
The village girl was speechless, and the general knelt silently.
Half an hour later, the village girl suddenly hid her face and wept, and threw herself into the general's arms.
"In love and war, all things are fair. You didn't feel sorry for me, you and I are not wrong, the fault is wrong, we were born in the wrong era, born in two countries. ”
The general felt a pain in his heart, and hugged the village girl tightly in his arms, "Zilan, if you agree, I am willing to marry you and take you out of here." I will no longer be that flying general, nor will I open up any territory, I will ask the Holy Lord for an order, unload my armor and return to the field, ignore everything in the red dust, and go to live a secluded life with you. We work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and live this life quietly. Zilan, would you like to?"
The village girl was teary-eyed and choked with a trembling voice, "I do!
