Chapter 464: The Sorrow of a Strong Man
This arrangement was really prescient, just when the Yan army retreated north, Sheng Yong gave an order as the "General of Pingyan", so that the southern army of Zhending and Dingzhou pursued and killed from the halfway, but the other defenders did not have that ability, and Ping An had just been repulsed, so in the end, only Wu Jie led the troops. As a result, they were ambushed by Xue Lu and Zheng Heng, and it didn't take long to shoot them back, and the Yan army returned to Beiping almost smoothly.
The whole army set up a large camp in the western suburbs of Beiping, and the generals did not disperse without any of them, and followed Zhu Di all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army.
No one spoke, and there was a dead silence in the tent......
Although he knew that everyone's morale was very low at this time, when he saw the vacancy in the first place of the generals on weekdays, Zhu Di still couldn't control his crying,
"Zhang Yu, he's not here......"
"Your Highness......"
Zhu Neng's tears couldn't stop flowing, and he stepped forward and knelt down,
"Please forgive the last general for the crime of being disadvantageous in battle!"
When the other generals saw this, they also fell to their knees, and they all said in unison,
"Please forgive me for the crime of being unfavorable in battle!"
"Generals,"
Seeing this scene, Zhu Di tried his best to hold back his sadness and waved his hand,
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, what is everyone's guilt, but unfortunately, at such a difficult time, losing a good assistant like Zhang Yu, King Gu feels like cutting off an arm and cutting out his heart......"
After that, Fu Yu cried bitterly again on the case, and the generals also cried when they saw it......
There was sadness in the camp, and after a while, Zhu Neng first wiped his tears,
"Your Highness, don't be sad anymore, it's better to take care of your health."
"Oh......"
At this time, Zhu Di, who was already crying dizzy, came to his senses, raised his head, and saw that all the generals in the camp were still kneeling in front of him, and quickly wiped his tears.
"Everyone has worked hard, get up quickly and go to rest, and after that, if there is anything, this king will send someone to find you."
"We will obey ......"
When the generals heard this, they got up and left the tent one after another.
Zhu Di still sat in place and did not move, at this moment, he really felt that he was unable to support it, and he didn't know if he would collapse if he suffered another blow. Indeed, he is not a person who can easily admit defeat, if that is the case, there is no such "martyrdom" at all, in his opinion, if he does not fight, then the days after that are meaningless are meaningless, and the days of living meaninglessly are tantamount to the walking dead, and this life will be over.
However, he is a very emotional person, Zhu Di can't be moved by what happened around him, and he can't help but be sad because of the loss of someone who has deep feelings. The shadow of Yu Liang and Zhou Duo's murder had hung over his heart for a long time, and now it was the departure of Zhang Yu, who was both a subordinate and a close friend, which made him almost heartbroken.
Zhu Di hated it very much, but he didn't know who to hate, and this hatred caused by the loss of his loved ones was later transformed into a kind of cruelty, and it was completely vented......
"Lord, fourth master......"
Zheng He, who had been guarding the side, reminded softly,
"Let's go back too, the princess and the prince will definitely get the news and know that you have returned, and they must still be waiting for you in the palace."
"Oh, good ......"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, looked around, as if he didn't know where he was, and only turned his head after a while, and saw that Zheng He and the three of them, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhang Fu were still by his side, so he pulled Zhang Fu to his eyes,
"Go home now, spend time with your mother, and tell her that King Gu will take the time to send someone to visit her."
"Subordinates obey."
Zhang Fu wiped his tears and walked away.
Zhu Di, accompanied by his entourage, entered Beiping City and walked on the street. At this time, it was the first month of the year, and although the Spring Festival had just passed, there was not much festive atmosphere in the capital of the previous dynasty due to the tight war.
After walking slowly for a while, Zhu Di asked Gao Xu to return to the palace with his own soldiers and guards, and he took Zheng He and the three of them to turn their horses' heads and run directly to Qingshou Temple to see Daoyan.
Dao Yan still had the demeanor of his Buddha, not happy, not angry, not happy or sad, seeing him coming, he made tea as usual and asked Zhu Di to sit down opposite. Zheng He naturally stood aside, while Wu Pingwen and Chai Jingnan stayed outside the meditation room.
"The master is really still so leisurely,"
Looking at the unfazed appearance of the old monk in front of him, Zhu Di said sarcastically,
"It's better for the lonely king to let go of all this, become a monk with you, and enjoy this pure day, which is also good."
"Your Highness, is what you said true?"
Dao Yan glanced at him and asked.
Zhu Di was asked by this, but he didn't know how to answer, of course he knew that this was impossible at all, and naturally it was not true, but since the other party asked, he replied casually,
"Yes, I have already lost Yu Liang, Zhou Duo, and now Zhang Yu again, I really don't want to lose anyone anymore......"
"Your Highness, did you go to war on your first day? It's the first time I've heard of people dying on the battlefield! ”
Dao Yan's eyes, which were often in a half-open state, widened suddenly, and then as soon as he stepped in, he grabbed Zhu Di's wrist and said,
"We can't turn back, we're already thieves! If you fail, let alone Your Highness, I won't be able to be a monk anymore! Your Highness, how could you say such a depressing word? ”
"You ......"
The old monk's move really startled Zhu Di.
The two of them have known each other for nearly 20 years, Zhu Di and Dao Yan are not only friends, but also treat him as teachers, Dao Yan has always treated him with courtesy, and even has the friendship of monarchs and ministers, and has never seen him behave excessively towards himself. But now Dao Yan actually pulled him and roared, and that expression was completely like an elder reprimanding an ignorant junior.
Before this, Zhu Di never knew that the old monk's hand strength was so big, he was obviously more than 20 years younger than the other party, but after being caught by him, he couldn't move even if he wanted to, when he looked up again, the other party's eyes widened, and suddenly he remembered what Yuan Heng had said, Dao Yan "has a pair of tiger eyes", and now he finally understands.
The two of them were frozen on the spot for a moment, and Zheng He, who was standing on the side, was also very surprised by this scene, and instinctively wanted to step forward to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he retreated back to the same place.
After being stunned for a long time, Zhu Di lowered his head and said,
"Of course Xiao Wang knows that what you said is right, but now, the morale of the three armies has been greatly reduced, what should I do......
"Of course, a big drop in morale is a morale boost,"
Dao Yan softened his tone, and gently pressed the wrist held in the palm of his hand on the tea table in a very natural way.
"Zhang Yu's death shouldn't only bring sadness, but more of a power of resistance, right? Should the lives of those soldiers be lost in vain? ”
