Six years ago, the border countries of Northern Lebanon sent troops to disturb Bianyang and other places, and they were about to enter the city to oppress the people, which was extremely arrogant. At that time, rumors were also released that the emperor of Beili was weak and incompetent, and they did not dare to send troops to fight them when they were so powerful in Bianyang.

In order to provoke the imperial prestige of Beili, they even made up a ballad, which was harsh and abnormal, and when this rumor reached the imperial city of Beili, Emperor Xiao Qidang was furious and immediately summoned the cabinet to discuss.

In the end, General Shen Lao took the Tiger Roar Battalion at that time to envoy Bian Yang to hide back to the lost ground. At that time, the old general Shen had four out of fifty. Because of the many years of experience in the battlefield, the spirit is extremely full, and he has fought against the border country many times, and he has long had a prestige, and if he heard that the Shen family army was coming, this group of people would disperse before they could fight like a gust of wind.

But that time, several neighboring countries joined forces and seemed to have a great posture of fighting with them, and General Shen Lao ran to the border of Bianyang in January and quickly deployed. Fighting with a small elite army discharged from the border to fight it back, I thought they would have to rest and recuperate, but they didn't expect to attack again in the middle of the night, but fortunately, General Shen Lao was prepared early in the morning, and ambushed people on the city tower, and fell down with oil and flint to catch the opponent off guard.

After that, several enemy attacks were defused by General Shen Lao one by one, and the battle reports were sent back to the capital one by one, thinking that these alliances that had been picked up for a while would collapse a few more times, and they could start to let the capital send people to recover the surrounding areas.

This night, General Shen rarely let the soldiers drink wine and eat meat in the camp tent, which is counted as the reward for many days of hard fighting, although everyone is drinking wine and eating meat, but it is only a little drinking, and no one knows if there is a battle to be fought in the future.

Scar's name is Zhang He, and he was a captain of a squad at that time, but he had been a soldier for many years in front of General Shen, and his temperament was unusually close to General Shen.

On the battlefield, he was brave and mighty, and General Shen specially commended him, and originally said that when this battle was over, General Shen would ask His Majesty for his appointment to be crowned an official and knight, but he was not in a happy mood this night, and his original favorite wine became tasteless in his mouth.

It turned out that when he came with the army, someone found him and gave him a generous gift, promising that as long as he sent the bag of things into General Shen's food. Put a little bit every day, and send enough for three days, and General Shen will die due to lack of qi and blood.

The man was a eunuch in the palace, stuffed him with a packet of medicine, and patted him very closely, comforting him to know the current affairs, after all, someone above wanted the life of General Shen, and the man arrested his wife, and he had to accept the medicine bag in order to stabilize it.

On the way when the army came, he thought all the way, it was not that there was no opportunity to take medicine on the way, but thinking of General Shen's promotion of him, he couldn't bear it for a while, and he didn't send the medicine bag into General Shen's food all the way.

Unexpectedly, when someone caught him in Bianyang, it turned out to be the person sent by the eunuch to monitor him in the army, and the person kicked him aside very viciously. grabbed him by the collar and threatened him, if he didn't give the medicine powder to General Shen again, he would immediately send a letter back, so that the eyeliner in the palace would kill his wife.

Scar hugged the man's leg and begged bitterly, ushered in an even more violent beating, and in the end he could only admit that he had put two packets of medicinal powder into Shen Lao's food and water before this night, and today was the last packet.

He took the wine bowl and looked at the old man sitting in the fire with a righteous face, and hesitated again. In his mind, he remembered the smile on the face of Shen Lao looking at him.

"Zhang He, I heard that you still have a wife in Beijing, she doesn't feel at ease when you come out."

"Work hard, when you go back and get promoted, you will also let your wife enjoy the happiness, be kind to your wife, my husband has gone so far, I don't know how much to worry about for a while!"

"Zhang He, don't sleep, your wife is still waiting for you at home!"

It was the night he was stabbed by the enemy's arrows, Shen Lao rescued him, his helmet didn't know where it had fallen, his eyes were only panicked, shaking him for fear that he would fall asleep, while shouting at the military doctor.

Shen Lao is righteous, he is selfless and dedicated to this country and the people, and he cares for his soldiers like his own children, and will not shout and kill the people below because he is in a high position, especially for Zhang He, he has never disliked his background, and he has carried him like this.

When he was stunned, a man in armor with blood stains on his body had not yet had time to wipe it off, walked up to him, squatted down and stretched out his hand to push him. Zhang He came back to his senses and found that the man was sitting beside him, winking at him, and then at Shen Lao behind him.

As soon as Zhang He hesitated, the man glared at him with his eyes, and he sighed and got up, as if he had made up his mind, and walked towards Shen Lao with a drink.

Shen Lao was holding a wine bowl, he seemed to be old, he always felt sick to his stomach in the past few days when he came to Bianyang, and he didn't eat much, even the military doctor advised him not to drink, but at this time tonight, he drank in order to encourage the soldiers.

"General, Zhang He is a rough man, you have led me for so many years, fought so many victories, and my life has improved with you, Zhang He respects you!" Zhang He's complexion was steady, his language was slightly grateful, and he stood on Shen Lao's side with the wine jar.

When Shen Lao heard this voice, he glanced back at him, and hurriedly got up, his cloudy eyes showed a bit of appreciation, and he patted Zhang He very happily, "You kid doesn't talk much on weekdays, but after drinking a little wine tonight, he talked a lot, and I have to thank Your Majesty, thank you for not dying in the arrow rain of the place!" ”

As he spoke, he handed over his wine bowl, Zhang He's eyes flickered slightly, and then he held the wine jar and poured half a bowl of wine for him, the two clinked glasses, and the soldiers next to him also got up together, "Thank you for the general's promotion, we are all students of the general, and without the general, we would not be where we are today." ”

"That's right!"

These words attracted many people to echo them, and then they motioned to Shen Lao together, raised their heads and finished the wine in their hands. Shen Lao looked at them with emotion, he was old, and he couldn't fight for the country for long, but he was very relieved that someone could take over the banner after him, so that the banner of Beili would not fall.

Excitedly, "Good, good! With you in Beili, Your Majesty can rest assured, this is probably the last time the old man will go to the battlefield, and the safety of Beili will depend on you in the future! ”

Shen Lao thought that he would be the most inspiring, and when he finished saying this, everyone's hearts were warm, as if they were extremely excited and excited as if they saw themselves leading their troops to fight.

Scar silently retreated to the side and left, returned to the camp where he was, and planned to pack up his things and leave, he changed the wine jar, and he didn't put the medicine powder in the wine he gave to Shen Lao.

He packed his baggage, and someone pushed the tent door in, and it was the person who asked the eunuch to send to monitor him, who was under the pseudonym Li Wei in the army, Li Wei looked smug and looked him up and down: "The medicine?" Well done! ”

Li Wei looks white, a pair of fox eyes are a little sinister and cunning, he is thin and tall, Zhang He really can't figure out why no one in the army noticed the abnormality in the future, his expression was calm, and no matter what Li Wei said, he bypassed him and walked towards the outside of the tent.

Li Wei's face froze, and he was a little unhappy to be ignored like this, but he saw the burden on Zhang He's body and his eyes sank, "Stop, where are you going to pack your things?" ”

He no longer smiled like he had just now, his face sank, his fox eyes showed a bit of danger, and his tone was extremely cold and threatening.

Zhang He's footsteps paused, and he didn't look back, but responded coldly: "My mission has been completed, do you want to wait for them to find out and let me die if you stay here?" ”

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "I can't see that you are still such a nostalgic person, you are gone, who will you give this great credit to?" Don't worry, no one will find out about Shen Xu's death, it's a pity......"

He paused deliberately, Zhang He heard that he still had something to say, turned around, and squinted at him: "It's a pity? What a pity? ”

"It's a pity that Shen Xurong didn't die in the hands of the enemy in the end, but died in the hands of his trusted generals, do you say that he will hate you if he knows it!" Li Wei shrugged his shoulders, stepped forward, and sneered, the contempt at the corner of his mouth fell on Zhang He's eyes.

Zhang He's deep hand clenched into a fist, trembling. After a while, he suddenly smiled, and that smile was relieved and a little heroic, "Yes, but you said something wrong?" ”

"What?" Li Wei smiled and looked at him sideways.

Zhang He smiled at the corner of his mouth, stepped forward and grabbed Li Wei's neck when he reacted, and a dagger fell out of his sleeve and stabbed Li Wei's body, stabbing him several times in a row. During this period, Li Wei wanted to struggle, but because he was too thin, he was not Zhang He's opponent and was held down by him, until he confirmed that he was powerless to refute, Zhang He let go and approached Li Wei's ear, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity, the damned person tonight is not Shen Lao but you!" ”

After he finished speaking, he stepped back almost, Li Wei lost support, staggered back a few steps, looked incredulous, and pointed at him: "You? ”

Zhang He lowered his eyes and took out the medicine bag in his arms and shook it in front of him, his eyes were calm, after seeing the medicine bag, Li Wei wanted to say something more, but he couldn't support it anymore and collapsed.

Zhang He went to wipe the blood stains on Li Wei's body with a dagger, and dragged Zhang He's body under the bed to cover it up, then he got out of the tent and left in two ways with a small army of about 20 people.

They were coming out of their tents when they came across the patrol, and the patrol felt that something was wrong and was about to come up to check on them, but they heard the sound of a trumpet, which was the sound of war. The patrolling soldiers did not have time to check on them, shouting that they should quickly pack up and prepare for the march.

They bowed their heads and bowed in agreement, and watched them leave, and then walked in the opposite direction, and walked to the top of a mountain somewhere in Bianyang, confirming that the troops had found them running, and the group stopped when they were not in time.

Zhang He stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the foot of the mountain, with a lot of sorrow in his heart, not knowing what the battle situation was or how Shen Lao was, but he became a complete deserter and a fugitive with a secret in his hands.

He killed Li Wei, knowing that there were people in the court dealing with Shen Lao, and he couldn't justify it in his life after that, but he didn't regret it, he didn't kill Shen Lao, at least he got rid of the disasters around him.

He remembered that he had asked Shen Lao what he would do if he did something wrong in the future, Shen Lao smiled righteously, shook his head and said, "You won't, Zhang He." Even if you do something wrong, I'm sure it's not your will. ”

Zhang He thought, he put down his things, knelt down at the top of the mountain, folded his hands and bowed in the direction of the battlefield, "Old Shen, Zhang He is sorry for you, take care!" ”
