Chapter 210: Yin and Yang: The Death of Zhuge (2)
"Handsome! Zhao Nan's side has already met Zhu Mu's family. Shen Yu rode to Lu Ping's side and said.
"Well, is Your Highness still adapting?" Lu Ping licked his dry chapped lips and asked, This damn grassland, it's already March, and it's still very cold at night, and there has been snow falling in the past few days.
"Your Highness is fine, it's just that we have to find the water source as soon as possible, and the soldiers don't have much water in their hands."
It's not that there is not much water, but Zhuge Xingchen has done too much, all the water sources have been polluted by him, although it is not poison, but diarrhea hurts people even more.
"The people of the Ming Jian Division are already looking for it, this damn Zhuge Xingchen!" Lu Ping scolded Zhuge angrily, looking at the boundless grassland.
"Just now, Gu Si came over and said that he could move to the Derge Ministry, and he has already sent someone to contact the Deg Ministry." Shen Yu hesitated for a moment and said it, Gu Siman did this for the sake of the army, but he did not get a military order.
"Forget it, Zhuge Xingchen did this to find our traces, and it's not bad to go to the Derge Department, tell Gu Siman, let him lead a team of people and horses to quickly approach the Derge Department." Lu Ping didn't want to or wanted to pursue his own private affairs at this time.
It didn't take long for the news that the army was biased towards the Derge Department spread, in fact, this was also done by Lu Ping on purpose, just to make Zhuge Xingchen in the Shiqu Department believe that he had been dragged down and could only go to the Derge Department to repair, if Zhuge Xingchen could be allowed to encircle the Derge Department, this would save the army from the hard work of finding a decisive battle on the grassland.
"Taishi, you always say that the people of the Central Plains are smart, and this king thinks they are nothing more than that!" Left-wing Wang Gao Shuoyanhe said disdainfully.
After Zhuge Xingchen and King Shiqu fled into Bayan Mountain, he persuaded King Gao Shuo with his three-inch tongue, King Gao Shuo was very yearning for the drunken gold fans and Yingge Yan Dance in the Central Plains, and named Zhuge Xingchen as the Taishi, and even King Shiqu was named the commander of Gao Shuo's Weishuo army.
"King, our opposite is the Meng's generals, we have suffered losses on Geng Chao, these people are no worse than Geng Chao." Zhuge Xingchen endured the nausea and unhappiness in his heart, and he was very worried about Gao Shuoren's arrogance.
"Geng Chao is just lucky, the right-wing king is a waste, if it weren't for the king's own brother, he would have been sent to the wolves as food a long time ago, this king is unmatched in the grassland, even if the opposite side is the Meng Yan you said, what is there to fear!" Gao Shuoyanhe looked down on the Central Plains people with all his heart, and for many generations the Central Plains wanted to cross Bayan Mountain to subdue Gao Shuo people, but everyone was defeated and defeated.
"The king is mighty, this time the Mengshi sent the fierce general Lu Ping and Meng Yan's second son, if you can take them down and enter the Central Plains, it is just around the corner!" Zhuge Xingchen tried hard to suppress his temper and patted his ass.
Gao Shuoyanhe snorted coldly, glanced at Zhuge Xingchen and said: "If the Taishi wants to go straight to Jinchuan City, then go, this king is not an unsympathetic person, I don't want what you did before to be in vain, give you 20,000 fine horses to take Jinchuan City, and wait for the king's army there!" ”
"Thank you Lord Wang, the old minister will live up to his trust!"
It is not a problem for 20,000 elite horsemen to gallop on the grassland, but Zhuge Xingchen is worried about Meng Yan's habit of using troops, and he will leave a detachment of soldiers who have no orders at any time.
According to the intelligence, this partial division is led by Di Xin, which is troublesome, Zhuge Xingchen in the Xuan Army in Western Sichuan is most concerned about Zhou Ce and Di Xin, Zhou Ce has been transferred, I thought Di Xin would be the commander of the Chinese army, and now a Lu Ping has been transferred to take over the command of the Chinese army, and it is difficult to let Di Xin lead the partial division alone, but Meng Yan sent his son to the Chinese army, which aroused the interest of Gao Shuoyanhe.
"Taishi, are we really going to Jinchuan?" He asked cautiously.
Since fleeing from Chengdu, there are fewer and fewer people who have followed him, and the few remaining relatives have died almost over the years, Zhuge Xingchen has long regarded them as family members, and the identity of the former master and servant is gradually disappearing.
"Go, if we want to go back to Chengdu, this is the last chance, if the Gaoshuo people fail this time, they won't go down to Bayan Mountain again, of course, whether that madman Meng Yan will go up is not necessarily." Zhuge Xingchen's words were very sad.
The cold wind of the grassland mixed with snowflakes blew away Zhuge Xingchen's full of white hair, he has aged very fast over the years, and the people around him continue to die and flee, these are all thanks to Quan Bo and Meng Yan, after the news of Quan Bo was placed under house arrest, Zhuge Xingchen rarely got drunk, and now his enemy is only Meng Yan, although he understands that Meng Yan's strength is not something he can compete with, but as long as he can make Meng Yan unable to sleep in peace, even if he has not lived in vain!
Although Lu Ping is an idiot in politics, he is a first-class general in the Great Xuan Army in military affairs, and the army has been well cultivated in the Derge Department, Lu Ping even drinks a pot of wine every day, he is waiting, waiting for the rebel army to encircle him.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Aren't we looking for a decisive battle against the rebels? What is this? Shen Yu whispered to Meng Jingyi and asked.
Meng Jingyi is still fighting for his leg of mutton, he has recently learned new roast leg of lamb and hunting skills with many old people of the tribe, and has established a deep friendship with the people of the tribe, it can be seen from the leg of mutton in the tent these days, almost every day there will be herdsmen to King Yong to drink wine and barbecue chat, and by the way, also give a leg of mutton.
"He is the commander of the Chinese army, he naturally has his plan, what are you in a hurry, don't worry, even if we lose, we will be fine, what do you think Jing Mu and An Gong are doing?" Meng Jingyi's focus on the leg of lamb is greater than that of war.
"You mean we're already in the midst of a chaotic army?" Shen Yu has been by Meng Jingyi's side for a long time, and his brain is spinning quickly.
"It's not stupid, this king knows what he wants to do when Lu Shuai changed the marching route, and it just so happens that no one came to chat today, you can talk to this king."
Shen Yu saw that the prince was not nervous, so he relaxed, sat on the ground and picked up a meat cleaver and ate it independently, the corners of Meng Jingyi's mouth moved slightly, this kid cut a piece of the most tender.
"Old Shen, do you know why my father sent Lu Ping over?"
"I don't know, most of the generals of our dynasty are in Jiangxia, Hanzhong and Changsha, and the western Sichuan side is naturally stretched." Shen Yu, who was full of oil, said.
Meng Jingyi said with a disgusted face: "What you said has a certain truth, but what Sichuan needs is a strong general, a reckless commander, whether it is Jiangxia's Xuanshuai or Tiger Shuai or even Eleven Uncle, they are all people who love soldiers like children, this set is not applicable on the grassland, your days in the grassland are not short, when have you ever seen Di Hou soft?" ”
Shen Yu's mind immediately flashed Di Xin's cruel methods, no matter what else, I don't know how many lives were lost in Di Xin's hands, and he always killed uncooperative aliens.
Seeing that Shen Yu was surprised, Meng Jingyi cut off the last piece of fresh meat and put it on his plate and said: "Although Lu Shuai is not outstanding among the generals of our dynasty, he can't underestimate his commanding ability, if he wasn't caught up in political disputes, his status at this time would not be lower than Xuan Shuai and others." ”
"So Your Majesty reactivated him, but his subordinates felt that Lu Shuai had a lot of thoughts and always wanted to grab credit?" Meng Jingyi had some doubts.
"Yes, that's his weakness, and that's why I'm in the Chinese Army." Meng Jingyi's face was grieved, and to put it bluntly, he preferred to fight on the battlefield like a general, rather than maintain national identity here.
That night, nearly 100,000 elite horsemen in the eighty miles outside the garrison of the Derge Department slowly approached, and it was rare for the Tanma Military Division to cooperate with the Mingjian Division, and one of them said: "My lord, they are here!" ”
The commander of the Ming Jian Division said with a grass: "! When we die, you will report to the commander immediately. ”
A spy and a scout in the army, everyone knows the importance of the matter, and a team of horse scouts quickly disappeared in the night.
And Di Xin, who has been wandering on the grassland, felt the taste of Zhuge Xingchen with his sense of smell, and Zhuge Xingchen also relied on his years of experience to perfectly avoid Di Xin's army three times.
However, Di Xin was not a clay sculpture, and soon found the traces of Zhuge Xingchen at the mouth of the soil, and he immediately led the army into the grassland in person, and finally fell on Zhuge Xingchen two days after discovering the traces.
Zhuge Xingchen didn't hide either, because Jinchuan was behind him, if Di Xin could be solved at the mouth of the soil, Jinchuan City would basically be in the bag, so the army and horses were moved out of the grassland, and now both sides are the most tired time, and the so-called narrow road meets the brave and wins at this moment.
Both sides understand that at this time, what formations, what strategies are useless, draw swords against each other, fight for endurance, fight for physical strength.
Zhuge Xingchen's subordinates are all men who are in the plateau all the year round, and this kind of fatigue can be recovered quickly, although most of Di Xin's subordinates are men from the Central Plains, but they survive and fight on the grassland all year round, and they are not much worse than them.
Di Xin was still very excited to see the strange man in His Majesty's mouth, and after the two sides set up a battle, Di Xince immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Daxuan Jinchuan General Di Xin, please see Mr. Zhuge !" ”
Zhuge Xingchen was also unambiguous, and urged the horse to step forward and said politely: "Di Xin? It's an honor for Meng Yan to have someone like you under his subordinates! ”
"Sir is false! Your Majesty has promoted me from the end of the day, and it is my luck to have the status I have now. ”
"Hahaha! Good! A certain family won't talk nonsense with you anymore, let's get started! Zhuge Xingchen didn't want to fight anymore, so he turned his horse and returned.
Di Xin turned his horse and stopped, shouting at his subordinates: "The marshal is besieged in the Derg department!" We need a quick fix! Ladies and gentlemen! Fight with me, do you dare?! ”
"Fight! War! War! "There was an unprecedented burst of energy in the Great Xuan Army, and everyone knew that this was about to be a bitter battle, a battle that would never stop fighting.
In an instant, the two sides converged, Di Xin's Mo knife no longer knew how much blood was contaminated, Zhuge Xingchen's big knife was also rolled, and Da Xuan Erlang's blood soaked his battle robe.
Until the sun set, the two sides fought, there were no accidents, no reinforcements helped, no one won, no one lost, Di Xin's hands were trembling, and Zhuge Xingchen was almost standing with his personal support.
The entire grassland was filled with blood, and the blood formed a trickle on the ground, eager to converge.
"Sir, take the troops!" Dickson shouted.
Zhuge Xingchen closed his eyes, aged a lot in an instant, held a breath in his chest, and responded: "Tell Meng Yan!" I'm defeated! I hope he treats Zhuge well! ”
Zhuge Xingchen was desperate, suddenly his throat was sweet, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and a generation of heroes fell like this, there was no shame, only endless sadness.
Di Xin arched his hand at Zhuge Xingchen and said weakly: "Go back to Jinchuan..."
