On the battlefield outside the plug, the spring breeze wept blood. The war ahead is also becoming more and more urgent. There was no time to make any preparations, so he had to take the imperial order and rush to Tongguan. That year, peach blossoms flew all over the sky, as if he was making a final farewell for his departure......

A.D. 605

The next day, the princess came to a temple with a large tree praying for peace and marriage. Thousands of red strings and red notes are tied on it, expressing the wishes of thousands of people.

Li Zhaoyu picked up a long red note, held a pen and ink, and wrote: Evil!

I want to know you,

Longevity is endless.

Mountains without edges,

The river is exhausted,

winter thunder and earthquake,

summer rain and snow,

Heaven and earth are combined,

Dare to fight with you!

After finishing the pen, he hung the note on the tree, folded his hands, and prayed sincerely: May the general win every battle on the battlefield and be safe and smooth!

Tongguan

On the battlefield outside the fortress, there were many fires, battles, and heavy casualties. This year, it was spring again, and the wind and air were mixed with the smell of blood, which was as strong as wine. A few geese flew back from the distant firelight, whimpering and chirping in the air, as if crying, and the sound echoed high in the air, as if to transmit this echo far away......

In the evening, Zheng Qianyi was alone in the barracks thinking about how to defend against the enemy. Suddenly, a young general hurriedly walked in and reported: "Oh no, general, the Turkic soldiers have attacked at night and have killed many of our soldiers patrolling outside. Now, it's about to attack the camp. ”

"What?" Zheng Qianyi was shocked, but he immediately adjusted his mood and ordered: "You quickly assemble the soldiers and ask them to wait for me outside the camp tent." ”

"Yes, General!" After the young general finished speaking, he retreated.

After a while, Zheng Qianyi put on his armor and walked out of the camp. I saw all the soldiers dressed neatly and standing solemnly outside the tent. Looking at the soldiers in high spirits and boiling blood, Zheng Qianyi felt a little relieved in his heart. He boosted his morale and said: "Turkic soldiers, just ahead of you. They are strong, fierce, and ferocious! You may be afraid, you may be afraid, but we cannot retreat, we are guarding our home. If the Turks break through here, our parents, wives and children will be slaughtered, and our homes will be trampled on. So, even if I have blood on my hands, protect my beloved! Soldiers, are you willing to defend your home and country with me and fight until the last moment? ”

As soon as these words fell, I saw that all the soldiers were immediately full of energy. They raised their weapons as a sign of military prestige and shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!" ”

Seeing that the soldiers were high-spirited, Zheng Qianyi also puffed up and shouted: "Soldiers, rush!" ”

At the sound of the order, everyone ran out to fight the enemy.

Yu'er, for your sake, I will never lose!

- Zheng Qianyi

In this battle, the struggle was fierce, and there were countless casualties. Because the Turks came prepared for a sneak attack, and their side was unsuspecting and desperately fighting. Therefore, in this battle, Zheng Qianyi's side suffered a big loss, which can be said to be the annihilation of the whole army, and in the end, only Zheng Qianyi broke out of the encirclement, but he was also seriously injured.

In the evening, the night is as cool as water.

He dragged his wounded body alone and limped to a clearing, and walked for an unknown amount of time before he sat down under a large tree.

There were blood stains and wounds all over the body, pain, naked pain, like fire burning. But he is also a general anyway, and he has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, and there are countless wounds on his body, so he has long been accustomed to it.

He looked around him, it was desolate, but the wounds on his body should not be delayed any longer, because they had begun to fester, and they had to be treated immediately.

Even though he thought so, the consciousness in his mind became more and more blurred, as if he was about to lose consciousness.

He looked up at the full moon in the sky and said with a wry smile: Yu'er, this time, I seem to have really lost. If I can't go back, you must forget me, find someone who is good to you, and you must be happy!

Zheng Qianyi's head gradually lowered, and the heavy fainting made him faint to death.

I don't know how long it took, and the voices of reinforcements sounded not far away.

"General, where are you? General ......"

Listening to the uneven voice, it seems that there is more than one person. Soon, a group of soldiers wearing armor found Zheng Qianyi fainting under a large tree and rescued him.

In December 605 A.D., heavy snow!

Luoyang

On the palace of the Sui Dynasty, the ministers stood in the hall solemnly and neatly. Zheng Qianyi walked into the hall wearing armor, saw the king of a country on the dragon chair, knelt down on one knee and said: "Minister Zheng Yiyi knocks on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" ”

"Aiqing is flat, Aiqing, I went to Tongguan to calm the war, and I haven't returned to the DPRK for a year! Aiqing is really hard! Emperor Yang Guang of Sui praised with a smile

"Weichen shares worries for His Majesty, not to mention the word hard work."

"Aiqing, since I came back this time, I have to reward Aiqing well. Aiqing is now a big man, and she hasn't married a wife yet. I am sympathetic to Aiqing's hard work, so I want to give Aiqing a marriage. ”

"This matter ......" Zheng Qianyi just wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui.

"Alas! I give Aiqing a beautiful companion, Aiqing, don't refute my face! Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was smiling on the surface, but the tone of the order could not be refused.

Anyway, at my age, I'm no longer worthy of her. In addition, her father rebelled, and I, as a general of the Sui Dynasty, would one day oppose his father, but at that time, how should she deal with herself? What's more, this battlefield is extremely dangerous, if one day, I die on the battlefield, then wouldn't she ...... Zheng Qianyi didn't dare to think about the consequences, Li Zhaoyu had a strong temperament, and she loved herself to the core, if she died on the battlefield because of herself, if she did something radical for herself because of love, then she probably wouldn't even be blind to death.

All right! Whether it is accepted or accepted by this marriage, it can be regarded as breaking the thoughts in her heart. Zheng Qianyi thought of this, and he was still reluctant in his heart, but in the end, he still made up his mind and said against his will: "Minister Zheng Qianyi, lead the order, thank the lord Longen!" It's just that Rong Chen dared to ask, which girl is this married daughter? ”

"The daughter of the Changzhou Thorn History, Liu!" Emperor Yang Guang of Sui said lightly.

A.D. 608

Li Zhaoyu was sad because Zheng Qianyi married another woman. But she still deceived herself in her heart: The general will not fail me, he must have a hard time to marry another woman, and he must love me in his heart.

She lay on the couch and thought about it over and over again, but in the end, she still wanted to find out what was going on and figure it out.

Because, since the general married another woman, she has not dared to face this fact. However, after she meditated for a few days, she was still unwilling in her heart, she didn't want to watch the general marry another woman without knowing it, so she had an idea in her heart, a bold idea.

If you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die! She thought that she was going to find the general to express her love, and she wanted the general to take her away, to take her out of here forever, to a paradise, and to live their sweet life.

General, although you have married another woman, I know that you must be involuntarily. So, you leave everything behind and take me away! The world is big, and I believe that there is always a place that belongs to you and me. There, we can live happily ever after!

- Li Zhaoyu

On this day, Li Zhaoyu dressed himself up and made an appointment with Zheng Qianyi to meet on the edge of a beautiful cliff. Zheng Qianyi came as promised.

Today's Li Zhaoyu is wearing a bright red wedding dress, which is beautiful! Under the illumination of the bright sun, the wedding dress was like fire, burning the world. And Zheng Yiyi is wearing armor, compared with the first time I met, there are a few more vicissitudes in his handsome face.

Li Zhaoyu stabilized her emotions, she smiled in her eyes, and said shyly: "General, I came today to ask you." In the past, I chanted the evil spirit, which was to promise you a love that would never be separated. Now, I have come to you in my wedding dress, will the general marry me? ”

Zheng Qianyi carefully looked at the wedding dress on her body, which was even more beautiful than that painting. Li Zhaoyu has a beautiful appearance, a pair of peach blossom eyes, smart eyes, and thin red lips. The remnants of the slanting sun shine through his body, shining her silhouette, this princess who is as beautiful as an ink painting, today's side, is deeply imprinted on Zheng Qianyi's heart like cinnabar. From now on, it will never be forgotten.

"I made this promise back then, and I would naturally marry you. But......" Zheng Qianyi's tone was mixed with a hint of hesitation

"No, General, if you want to marry me, now is your chance. General, I'm willing to leave everything behind, so take me away! Li Zhaoyu interrupted and said excitedly.

"I'm sorry, Yu'er, as a general, I am responsible for guarding the frontier fortress, I can't just leave like this!" Although these words are calm, they are sad in their hearts. Zheng Qianyi knew that Yu'er was born noble and pampered since she was a child, but now, she was very determined to abandon everything for him and fly away with him. However, he has long been unable to match her in terms of age. Moreover, Yu'er's father Li Yuan rebelled and wanted to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, as a general of the Sui Dynasty, he was favored by the emperor, how could he marry the daughter of a rebellious minister and thief to help attack the Sui Dynasty?

"General, what did you say?" Li Zhaoyu was incredible, the tears in his eyes were like flowing water, and they kept falling to the ground. Li Zhaoyu said word by word, as if she was heartache and disappointment, for a while, her emotions were mixed, she cried: "General, you said this, it really disappointed me!" It's not that you don't want to go with me at all, but you think I'm the daughter of the enemy, and my father rebelled and wanted to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, so you don't want to marry me, right? In the end, it almost collapsed, and the last sentence was almost roared out with all his might.

Li Zhaoyu poked Zheng Qianyi's sadness every word, he turned his back to Li Zhaoyu, his heart ached, a tear slipped on his beautiful face, he endured his sadness, and explained calmly: "Yu'er, it's not like this, how could I break my promise because your father rebelled?" Yu'er, it's just that at my current age, I don't match you anymore, you are only twenty-two years old, which is the best age, why do you spend your youth on me! So, Yu'er, you go, forget about me, and look for a better one! ”

"I understand, it turns out that you don't want to marry me, but that you are a coward, a coward who doesn't dare to face yourself!" Li Zhaoyu's hoarse voice roared and cried.

It is said that the beautiful family of Ruhua can't reach the year of the water, but she was defeated by the year of the water, she was defeated by the world, and lost to his belief as a general.

Looking at Zheng Qianyi's indifferent back, Li Zhaoyu left with a heartache.

However, this turn is goodbye. The promise of the year was easily disappointed......

Yu'er, if you weren't a princess and I'm not a general, how good would it be? If we are just ordinary people, then what does this national affairs have to do with us? Yu'er, I'm sorry, you and I have no fate in this life. I hope that in the next life, ordinary people, tea and coarse clothes, will stay together!

- Zheng Qianyi

In the eighth year of the Sui Dynasty (613 AD), on April 17, Zheng Qianyi died in the mansion at the age of 52. Mrs. Liu died on October 7 in the sixth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (624 AD) at the age of 57.
