As the saying goes, greed is like fire, and if it is not contained, it will burn the prairies. Desire is like water, and if it is not contained, it will be monstrous.

Today, Le Er and some of the sergeants of Wuci have died and lost their fortunes, all because of greed.

......

At this time, to the northeast of the Leer military camp, Wei Qi was making every effort to clean up the defense. The first section of Jean where he was located changed generals twice in a month, and was slaughtered by Le Er again a month ago, which was already unstable in the army, and the fierce offensive of Long Xiangwei a few hours ago made the morale of its soldiers fall to the lowest point.

However, this did not affect Wei Qi's morale, in his opinion, as long as his side defended properly and successfully held the enemy's first few rounds of attack, the two sides would inevitably enter the stalemate stage, and as long as they entered the stalemate stage, they would have the chance to wait for the emperor's pardon edict.

But when this Jean Zhonglang General Wei Qi had just sent someone to repair the washed out camp tent and camp fence, the stainless steel feather in the hand of Wei Kaihua, the captain of Long Xiang, smashed open the camp gate of the Jean Department again.

Seeing Long Xiang's heavy cavalry slowly pouring in like a torrent of steel, most of his soldiers surrendered, Wei Qian fell to the ground, he smiled miserably, gently stroked the long sword in his hand, and his eyes were a little gentle, "General Le!" You saved my life many years ago, I have been with you for so many years, and the favor can be repaid, and today, I will simply return the rest of my life! ”

Subsequently, Wei Qi lifted his sword, the sword intersected with his neck, and the general Jean, who had been in office for less than a month, left!

It is said that life is in a hurry, but for a few taels of broken silver, but a few taels of broken silver cannot be exchanged for a lifetime of frankness and safety, the years are ruthless, we wait, it is good to have affection!

The main general is dead, and in front of the dragon cavalry army that is eyeing the tiger, Jean's stubborn soldiers finally put down their soldiers and surrendered!

After Sima Shen Ni of the Wuning Central Army received the surrendered troops, Wei Kaihua waved his feather and shouted loudly, "Pass my military order, keep in formation, rush to the Wuci Central Army at full speed, and kill if you don't surrender!" ”

In the central grain field of the Wuci Army, the fierce and ferocious Luo Yue soldiers had already killed twice as many soldiers as they were in the saddle and the people were not as good as the armor, and they scattered and fled.

Le Jia, the military supervisor of the Wuci Army, who was in charge of commanding the military horses here, fled south to the Chinese army where Le Er was located, escorted by the sacrifice of a dead party.

Those who did not flee and fled in chaos all knelt on the ground and asked to surrender.

Cheng Gang stood with a dagger, looked at the direction in which he received the soldiers, snorted a mouthful of phlegm, looked up to the sky and shouted, 'Happy', and immediately ordered, "The whole battalion will attack south, capture Le Er alive, and pacify the rebellious soldiers!" ”

The five elements are impermanent, the four times are impermanent, the days are short and long, the months are dead and alive, and so are people.

Regarded as a triangular formation of steel barriers, Jean and Zhiniu were defeated, grain, grass and ordnance were destroyed, and in the blink of an eye, only the Wuci Chinese Army was left.

At this moment, Le Er sat alone in the big tent of the Chinese army, his square face was expressionless, his extremely asymmetrical single eyebrow was gently stretched, and a lump of fat was piled up on his belly, at this moment, he looked a little funny and cute.

He held a pot of wine and listened to the shouts outside the tent to kill the earth-shattering sky, and this earth-shattering shouting became more and more intense, and he heard it more and more clearly.

Le Er suddenly remembered that the last time he heard the shouts of the two armies fighting, it was more than 20 years ago, the last time, he was still the warrior with a reputation in his heart and invincible in a hundred battles.

With a glass of wine in his throat and old things coming back, he remembered that year when Jinyi entered Wuci, it was the most beautiful day of his life; He remembered that year when he went to the city in pairs to find happiness, it was the most comfortable day of his life; He remembered that his brother-in-law Liu Gan asked for money that year, and it was the most helpless day in his life; He remembered that Jin Zhao entered the camp to deliver gold and silver, and that was his most tangled day.

Later, there was no later, and there was no longer the young man in brocade clothes and angry horses!

Thinking about it, a breeze blew, and in the empty tent of the Chinese army, one person became two people.

In the tent, where the gilded bronze deer light could not reach, a thin figure floated in the corner, and he didn't see his face, but he heard someone whisper, "Old man, Cangzhou bandits, after many years, today, I am here to give you a ride!" ”

"Hmph, I thought it was who, the brother who was still alive back then, just count you Saibeili at ease." Le Er pouted and said quietly, "But then again, what should I call you?" Green River Tigers? Long water Lang general? Or is it the leader of the Tiger Gang? You're really capable of tossing. ”

It is the leader of the Tiger Gang who is now famous, Sai Beili.

"They are all dreamers of the heavenly family, you can call them whatever you want!" Sai Beili sighed shortly, "If you can, call me Lao Li!" After so many years, you have been a powerful man, and it is worth it! In terms of chic and wealth, I am not as good as you. ”

"If you don't come, I may be able to deal with this herd of cattle and horses outside. Hey, you're here, it's time for me to go! Le Er touched the scar on his face and asked softly, "Is it Jin Zhao that you sent someone to kill?" ”

Sebeli was categorical, "Yes! ”

Le Er muttered to himself, "It's so good to kill!" ”

Sebeili stood upright and said to Le Er in a serious tone, "Brother, do you know why His Majesty sent you to the East Border back then? ”

Le Er took a sip of wine and shook his head slightly.

Sai Beili let out a long sigh, "Your Majesty has long had the intention to promote the unification of the country and eradicate the troubles of the world. However, after the Gyeonggi Rebellion, His Majesty was limited in strength and powerless, and could not rely on force to conquer the powerful local clans. Therefore, he selected talents, let these people go to the local office, and waited for the opportunity. ”

Le Er's mouth was full, but he still didn't speak.

Sebeiri paused for a moment and continued, "Brother, you and I are both carefully selected talents by His Majesty. Your Majesty lined me up and went away to be his eyes. And sent you and Mu Yu to the east, haven't you thought about why? ”

Le Er's eyes were confused, and he blurted out, "Taibai, Wuci, Wuning, Xiangping, and Houcheng are collectively referred to as the five armies in the east, among the five armies, Taibai General Mo Jingchun is loyal to His Majesty, and the two armies of Xiangping and Houcheng are in the hands of Liu Han and Liu Qin, and they have gradually become self-reliant. ”

Sebei Tribo was unfazed, "You're not stupid!" But why didn't you think of this relationship at the time? ”

Le Er sighed, "In the world, where is there a way back?" ”

The shouting and killing outside the camp got closer and closer, and Sebeili glanced at Le Er slightly in the shadows, and said, "I have a pot of wine, and I will honor the old man tonight." See you in the next life, old man. ”

A pot of wine floated in the air under the gilded bronze deer lamp in front of Le Er, and it was a light breeze.

"The afterlife? Hehe, if you can choose, let me be a pig in the next life! It's good to go to bed after eating. ”

Le Er lifted the pot of poisonous wine on the table and drank it neatly, and then he looked out the window, with a trace of reluctance and a hint of epiphany.

......

Lock gold armor, hold the carving, remember the day, the beginning of the gate, the spirit of Lingyun spirit.

The mountains are green, the horses are over the peaks, who leans on the cane, chases without regrets, and returns to the dust with sorrow and rain.

......

This martial general Le Er, who was ambitious in the first half of his life and extremely vicious in the second half of his life, slowly closed his eyes and did not suffer much!

Twenty-eight years later, Gong Zhuang, a hermit god in Nanchuan County, Mingzhou, wrote "The Great Han. Fengyun Spectrum", commented: Le Er was heroic and ambitious, skilled in archers and horses, proficient in battle formations, and later suffered from his family background and was willing to indulge, so he promised fame and fortune, was cruel and rape, greedy and excessive, and finally died. Pity and pity! Think and quit!

......

The main general hated the northwest, and in the military camp of Wuci, there was already chaos.

Some people surrender like Sun Yun, some people are willing to die like Le Er, and of course, there are also unwilling!

After Lequan, who was entangled with Mu Xiao, heard the news of Le Er's death from his subordinates, he let out a sad cry, and the copper hammer swung violently, forcing Mu Xiao to retreat temporarily, and then transferred his horse and left.

He broke through left and right, and found an important general such as Le Jia, the supervisor of the Chinese army, Li Qifeng, and Le Kai, the chief of the guard, in the chaos of the army.

Said that the time is slow and fast, after reaching an agreement, they immediately gathered the Chinese army soldiers and horses, and immediately broke through to the east, the Chinese army officers and Wu Cishan were mostly Le clan people and Lejia eagle dogs, and the soldiers also burned and plundered with Le Er on weekdays, they knew that it was rare to die well in the hands of Su Ran, under the leadership of Le Quan, these remnants quickly gathered, and more than 3,000 people broke through to the east crazily.

Mu Yu, who was directing the battle on the corner tower, received the battle report of Le Quan's escape, and hurriedly led Yang Quan, the only remaining general on the corner tower, to run down the corner tower, wanting to personally lead the army to the Zhiniu Bridge to intercept it.

He was about to call the herald to give the call, but was stopped by Yang Quanyi beside him.

Zhonglang General Yang Quan, who had already grown gray, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered softly in Mu Yu's ear, "My lord, I am full of food and words, if the people of the Le clan die too much in your hands, I am afraid that it will be very unfavorable to Lord Yu and Yu Wuningjun." ”

Mu Yu frowned, lowered his voice, and said, "Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

Yang Quan lowered his head and said, "Although the evil is eliminated, can you kill Lequan and the others, is it really all gone?" ”

When a smart person speaks, just click to the end, Mu Yu heard this, and his heart of 'willing to die for the king and return the horse leather shroud' was shaken!

Although the Cangshui Le clan where Le Er is located is not as good as the old Gu, Lu, Zhang, and Zhu families in Liuzhou, it is also a big family on the Tiger Roaring side, and the imperial uncle Liu Gan, an evergreen tree in officialdom, has a special status that no one can shake. On the other hand, he is a white body, except for His Majesty, there is nothing behind him.

Therefore, Cangshui Le's family, who is far away in Liuzhou, and Liu Gan, the emperor's uncle who is far away in Gyeonggi, he can't afford to blame either of them.

Yang Quan is right, be a man and leave a line, and see each other well in the future, today with a soldier and horse forced the chief general of the Wuji Army to commit suicide, and the captain surrendered more than 15,000 people, which can already be regarded as living up to the sacred heart.

Thinking of this, Mu Yu lowered his voice and asked, "Are you going to do it?" ”

"The last general commands! The remnants of the army will be wiped out. ”

Yang Quan took a step back, responded loudly, and then led his troops away.

An expert who is well versed in the art of war, if he carefully studies the topography of Wuci County, will praise Le Er's initial deployment of troops, which can be described as leaky.

At the beginning, Le Er led the Chinese army to garrison the main road, and the surrounding area was open, which could be attacked and retreated; And Wuci County is built close to the south of Wuci Mountain, a part of Wuci Mountain can overlook the entire county seat from a high position, and a soldier and horse are arranged in Wuci Mountain, even if Wuci County misses, it can still take advantage of the geographical advantage to shoot a bow and arrow in the city; The Jien River runs from west to east, from northwest to southeast, dividing the three counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong and Chisong from Goguryeo, forming a natural boundary. As the only passage connecting the Goguryeo Kingdom in the Wuci Prefecture, Le Er even placed the 6,000 elite soldiers of the Zhiniu Department led by Sun Yun here in case of emergency.

If the above arrangement was followed, Mu Yu's army would not have captured the Le Er military camp so easily.

It's a pity that before Mu Yu came, Le Er was intimidated by Liu Yi and Death Shichen, like a bird with a frightened bow, gathered all the soldiers and horses together, lost the geographical advantage, and invisibly, which created good conditions for Mu Yu's army to encircle and annihilate Le Er's troops.

To get back to the point, this bull bridge is the only way for the remnants of Lequan to break through and escape this time.

In the middle of the Wuning Army, the veteran Yang Quan only ordered two thousand recruits, and rushed to the Zhiniu Bridge, when the group slowly ran to the side of the Zhiniu Bridge, the fire of the Lequan desertion army was already faintly visible in the west, Yang Quan did not set up a horse, did not scatter obstacles, did not burn the wooden bridge, only hoarded two thousand infantry on both sides of the Zhiniu Bridge, lit a torch, and instructed the two accompanying commanders, "The enemy is nearly one hundred and fifty paces, and the enemy is shot with arrows." ”

Although the two commanders were puzzled, they also took the order to leave.

After a while, the evil insect Lequan flew in, and nearly one hundred and fifty steps, the commander of the Wuning army immediately ordered the arrows to be released, and the arrows rained down for a while, and the scene was very huge. However, the recruits' archery skills were already weak, where the arrows could be shot a hundred steps away, and the ten thousand arrows were just a small rain, and the arrows didn't even touch Le Quan's body, so they swayed and fell on the open space in the center of the two armies, like a child playing at home.

Where can Lequan take care of these carefully, he was bitten by Mu Xiao and Wei Kaihua behind him, and there was Daoshan in front of him, so he had to break through. However, when he saw that the enemy did not burn the bridge, but blocked the enemy with feather arrows, Le Quan still sneered, and the mockery in his heart was very obvious.

Lequan can already see the bull bridge with the naked eye, he reins his horse, carries the hammer upside down, and shouts loudly, "Soldiers, rushing over is rich and noble, follow me!" ”

Over there, seeing Lequan rushing straight in, Yang Quan ordered the whole army to stop shooting, get out of the bridge, and let Lequan go to the bridge.

It was said that it was slow and fast, Lequan only breathed, and he had already ridden his horse and passed by Yang Quan, and the cavalry of the Wuci Army behind Lequan saw that the encircled Wuning Army did not intercept it, so he relaxed his vigilance, and also followed Woo Yang to cross the bridge together, and when Le Quan ran out of eighty or ninety steps, Yang Quan's eyes were immediately cold, and he shouted loudly, "Order, let the brothers shoot all the arrows in the pot, and greet them to death." ”

Hum! I, Yang Quan, let you Lequan pass, but I didn't want to let anyone else over!

After the two commanders were ordered, the veteran Yang Quanmou was ruthless, first using a weak bow to relax the vigilance of the military army, and waiting for it to be more than half of the attack, which is similar to the "Sun Tzu March" said in "The Guest Comes from the Water, Don't Welcome It in the Water, and Hit It Halfway".

For the 2,000 recruits who were 'ambushed' on both sides of the Zhiniu Bridge, the Wuci cavalry at this time was completely a live target!

On a bright moonlit night, the short holding of the ox, the soldiers on both sides stretched their bows and arrows, specially greeted on the bridge, for a time, people were hit by arrows, horses fell into the river, people fell into the river, horses trampled on people, countless, screams and bows and arrows broke the wind mixed together, for a picture of human purgatory with wonderful music.

The fleeing cavalry that followed knew that the front was dangerous, but still did not dare to slow down, so they had to rush to the bridge, if they could rush over, there was still a chance of life, if they could not rush, they could only be killed by the pursuers of the Wuning Army who followed.

On the bridges on both sides, the recruits ran out of arrows.

After the Wu Second Army, Long Xiang Wei Tiger roared.

Wei Kaihua galloped all the way, and finally stopped his horse at the west reins of Zhiniuqiao.

In front of him is the land of Goguryeo, so he will no longer continue to pursue, and the charge of treason against Lequan can be regarded as settled.

Looking at the countless corpses and wails in the river under the bridge, Wei Kaihua lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly had a sense of enlightenment, he dismounted and hugged Yang Quan and said, "Hit halfway, the old general is clever!" The younger generation admires. ”

Yang Quan returned a punch, held Wei Kaihua's right hand with his left hand, and the two of them raised their hands together, and said loudly, "The Great Han is mighty!" ”

Suddenly, the whole audience boiled, and the soldiers cheered!

After talking about the west of the bridge, then the east of the bridge.

Le Quan ran all the way, fled to a dense forest in the east of the bridge, extinguished the torches, gathered the remnants, escaped from the ascension of less than 1,000 people, and most of them were wounded, fortunately, the Le clan and a cadre captain all escaped, which retained the backbone of the future resurgence, and it can be regarded as a joy in the bitterness!

Li Qifeng, who joined the army, couldn't wait to step forward and ask, "General, what should you do next?" ”

Li Qifeng is different from other people who fled together, among the officers above the lieutenant level, there are not many people who are not surnamed Le, so he Li Qifeng belongs to the chess pieces of the Le clan that can be discarded at any time.

"Take a boat, take the waterway, and throw yourself into Daqin." Le Quan was extremely resentful, and in the cheers of the Wuning army, he shouted, "When the world changes, we will definitely cooperate with the clansmen, enter the Weiyang Palace, capture the emperor Lao'er, burn his temple, and destroy his ancestral tomb to avenge today's revenge." ”

Afterwards, Lequan immediately marched eastward with his army.

Before leaving, he looked back affectionately at the Zhiniu Bridge, where the sky was shining with stars and the ground was full of fire, and he silently asked himself in his heart, 'Can you go back?' ’。

Many years later, when Li Qifeng was infected with a cold disease in Daqin, the medicine was useless, and he was about to be separated, he knew that tonight was the last time in his life to look at the fireworks in his hometown.

When all thoughts were lost, Li Qifeng finally understood that many times, what we can let go of is fame and fortune, and what we can't let go of is our hometown.
