Chapter 130: Children of Jiangdong
A wounded horse struggled to its feet, its four 'legs' trembling uncontrollably, and finally it screamed and fell heavily on the ground full of dead bodies, raised its head and struggled to snort twice, and finally fell down and got up again.
A large flag embroidered with the word "Chu" in the seal body obliquely 'inserted' in a pile of corpses, the flag was cut from the middle, and the word "Chu" was also divided into two sections, it swayed weakly in the breeze, bringing only a little vitality to this place full of dead silence. {Leaderboard}
Xiang Liang's death soon reached the ears of Xiang Yu and other generals who went west, and when the soldiers who came out of Jiangdong got the news of his death, they were all stunned like 'chickens', and the soldiers who were alive seemed to have all become lifeless wax figures overnight.
Crystal tears rolled down the faces of these "wax figures". Tranquility, a deathly tranquility shrouded Xiang Yujun's camp.
"Wow~~" I don't know who it is, I can't hold back my feelings and cry loudly, and then the cry quickly spreads in the barracks as if it is an infectious disease, and the entire barracks is suddenly shrouded in the cry of a rough man, and there are gloomy scenes everywhere.
Xiang Qing has cried and fainted many times, since the day Xiang Liang died, she is no longer a little 'girl' child who is still snuggled in front of her father's lap, she must start to bear everything she will face in the future alone, with tears, she seems to have grown up a lot overnight.
She leaned against the wall of the barracks, her empty eyes staring blankly at the opposite wall. There was no one else in the room, only her. Originally, Yu Ji was still here to accompany her, but she wanted to be quiet by herself, and Yu Ji left Xiang Qing's barracks after making sure that she wouldn't do anything stupid.
There is another reason why Yu Ji left Xiang Qing's barracks, that is, there is another person who needs her at this time, that is a person who looks full of pride, fierceness and cruelty, but in fact has a delicate heart and values feelings more than everything.
Xiang Yu sat silently in the barracks, lighting an oil lamp in front of him. When she pushed open the door and walked into the room, a wind she brought in swirled and swooped down on the dim oil lamp.
He gently put his hand on the lamp, as if he was afraid that the oil lamp would suddenly go out, and said to Yu Ji with a nervous face: "Quick, Yu Ji, close the 'door' quickly, or my uncle will leave!" ”
Yu Ji pursed her lips, and when she saw Xiang Yu like this, she felt as if her heart had been pinched hard. "Search to see the fastest"
She turned around and closed the 'door', walked gently to Xiang Yu's side, and slowly sat down.
She stretched out her soft hand, gently stroked Xiang Yu's back, and then hugged him with both arms and said softly: "General, I know that my uncle's death has hit you hard, but you can't sink like this, there are still many children of Jiangdong outside who need you, and I also need you, you are the heaven of our people, if you fall, what should we do?" ”
Xiang Yu looked at the lit oil lamp in a daze, and under the light, two lines of tears flashed with crystal light on his face.
He didn't speak, just sat silently. His father Xiang Chao died in battle with his grandfather Xiang Yan as early as when the Qin army broke through Lanling, and it was his uncle Xiang Liang who picked him up from the pile of dead people and brought him to Huiji to raise him as a 'becoming' person.
Xiang Yu didn't have much impression of his biological father, but for his uncle Xiang Liang, he had always treated him with the gift of his biological father.
Xiang Liang died, and Xiang Yu was no less hit than Xiang Qing. He didn't comfort Xiang Qing because he didn't know how to comfort him, the two children who had lost their father got together, apart from tears, what else could they use to express the sadness in their hearts?
Xiang Yu sat silently, letting Yu Ji embrace his generous body.
His throat choked as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word.
"General, cry!" Yu Ji hugged Xiang Yu tightly, her face was already covered with tears, she choked up and said to Xiang Yu: "Cry loudly, it will be better to cry." ”
Xiang Yu shook his head, slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he exhaled this breath slowly, he wiped the tears from his face, stood up sharply, kicked over the oil lamp on the table, which was still flickering and flickering, and strode out towards the 'door'.
He kicked over the oil lamp and fell to the ground, and the flame of the bean was instantly extinguished.
Yu Ji saw that Xiang Yu broke out in a hurry, and was afraid that he would do something stupid, so she hurriedly followed.
Xiang Yu opened the 'door' of the room, and walked towards the crying Chu officers and soldiers with heavy steps, and behind him was Yu Ji, who was trotting closely behind.
"Don't cry!" Xiang Yu, who was like an iron tower, stood in front of these Jiangdong disciples who were screaming loudly with his hands on his hips, and shouted to them with his brows twisted: "Cry! Cry! Can just crying bring Shangzhuguo back to cry? Wiped away my tears! Return to Pengcheng with me, fight to the death with Zhang Han after regrouping, and take his dog's head to sacrifice to Shangzhu Kingdom! ”
After his roar, the children of Jiangdong who were crying suddenly stopped their sorrows, raised their sleeves one by one to wipe away their tears and stood up, but the crying could be stopped, but the grief in their hearts could not be suppressed, many people just wiped away their tears, and the big teardrops rolled down again.
"Listen to me! Shangzhu Kingdom died for the Great Chu! Our Xiang family a 'door' loyalty, when the Qin army broke through my Chu capital city Shou 'spring', my grandfather Xiang Yan and father Xiang Chao in Huainan to support Changping Jun as the king, the capital of Lanling, originally thought that according to the Yangtze River danger in a corner of the corner, but did not expect the Qin army to chase after it, and finally broke through Lanling and killed Changping Jun, and my grandfather and father also died on the battlefield! ”
When Xiang Yu said this, he looked around at the Jiangdong disciples who were surrounded by him, and shouted loudly: "Now my uncle Shangzhu Guo Xiang Liang is also killed in the battle of Dingtao!" Our Xiang family has done their best for Da Chu, and all the loyal martyrs of the 'door' have died on the battlefield, and I am very proud of myself as a descendant of the Xiang family. If one day in the future, I will die for Da Chu, don't cry, because I am a member of the Xiang family, and the Xiang family was born to be loyal to Da Chu, and finally died on the battlefield! ”
The children of Jiangdong held their breath and quietly listened to every word Xiang Yu said, they knew that every word Xiang Yu said was a fact, and it was also a truth that had been verified for many years and other book friends were reading:. They want to cheer, but they can't find a reason to cheer; They wanted to lament, but they knew that what Xiang Yu needed at this time was more than just a sigh.
"All of them are 'spirits'!" Xiang Yu frowned and shouted to the Jiangdong disciples: "Uncle died in battle, he died for Da Chu, this is his dream, and it is also his final destination!" We have nothing to grieve, we have to quickly return to Pengcheng, and then regroup our forces to start a decisive battle with the Qin army! Capture and kill Zhang Han and avenge Shangzhu Kingdom! ”
"Capture and kill Zhang Han and avenge Shangzhu Kingdom! Avenge the Shangzhu Kingdom! When Xiang Yu finished saying this, the Jiangdong disciples were boiling, and they held their weapons high and shouted out the hearts of each of them.
Xiang Ye, who led the funeral procession to Cai Xing, also had to stop the advance of the procession, and the Chu army that came with him to escort Li You's body were all the soldiers that Xiang Liang brought from Jiangdong.
When they learned the news of Xiang Liang's death from Xiang Ye, they collapsed on the ground one by one like their own father who had died, and cried bitterly.
Xiang Ye and Wu Wei, who was on the road with him, glanced at each other, and both of them were full of helplessness.
From the performance of these Chu troops, they can see that these Chu soldiers only have the existence of the Xiang clan in their hearts, and in their hearts Xiang Liang has always been a god-like existence, as long as Xiang Liang lives, they feel that they have something to rely on, and they are full of confidence in the future.
But Xiang Liang died, and the Great Chu Shangzhu Kingdom, which had brought hope to these Jiangdong disciples, died, leaving only a false name that had once dominated the world and promises that could never be fulfilled.
Xiang Ye didn't stop these Chu soldiers from crying bitterly when they missed Xiang Liang, and he didn't urge them to hurry up. They had been staying in Zhaoping for about ten days, although Li You's body had been parked in a 'shady' cool and dry place, but after all, it was in the hot summer and autumn season, and the corpse had already stinked, and they didn't care about delaying on the road for another day or two.
He was ready to make these Chu troops cry for two days, and he even gave an order for the troops to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot.
But he obviously underestimated these Jiangdong disciples, and when he gave the news of camping in place, an officer of the Chu army who was sitting on the ground and weeping silently stood up, hugged his fists to Xiang Ye and half-knelt on the ground and said: "General, please don't camp here, Li You's body has begun to decompose, if it is delayed for some time, I am afraid that only white bones will be rotten when it arrives in Shangcai." And now that the Lord of Shangzhu has died in battle, Major General Xiang Yu needs us Jiangdong's sons and daughters, and we also want to complete the task and return to Pengcheng as soon as possible, and ask the general to order the starry night to advance! ”
After listening to this officer's words, Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the surrounding Chu army, only to see that the more than 100 Chu soldiers who were still crying silently had all wiped away their tears and looked at him with teary eyes.
"Do you all want to speed up the march?" Xiang Ye frowned and looked at these Chu soldiers and said: "Do you know that even if you rush back to Pengcheng, it will be impossible to catch the funeral of General Xiang Liang, and if you go back one day earlier and one day later, there will not be much difference at all!" Why so hard? ”
The Chu soldiers shook their heads, and the previous officer said to Xiang Ye: "We are all children of Jiangdong, although Shangzhu Country is gone, but the young general is still there, the young general will definitely avenge Shangzhu Kingdom, and we will fight with him at that time, and we will never dare to delay outside for too long!" ”
"Okay!" Xiang Ye sighed and shouted to everyone in the team: "Rush to Shangcai in the starry night, don't delay the brothers' trip!" "Please keep in mind the URL, if you like the "Reverse Chu" written by Yan Yan
