Chapter 29: That Night, Admiral Tiance was crying!
General Suzaku is dead.
Covered in blood, but not as bright as the red cloak on his back.
This general, who made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and broke through a total of thirty cities during his lifetime, did not die in the enemy's attack, but died in the Tang Dynasty himself who had served him all his life.
Hate?
He doesn't hate, he followed the king of Chu when he was born, from south to north, fought all his life, saved too many people, and he had no regrets about saving him.
There may be regrets.
Knowing that tonight was the time of death, he would see the King of Chu for the last time, that is, three days ago, and take a look at this child who he watched grow up.
It's not right, that kid is now the god of war, a figure who stands up to the sky, not a child.
He just wanted to take a few more looks at this god of war.
That's all.
"Da ......."
Li Xiaogong rode his horse, and Yu immediately looked at this former confidant with a complicated expression.
Be a confidant.
He knew how loyal General Suzaku was to the King of Chu, and he also knew that he couldn't persuade General Suzaku to come back.
But knowing that he can't do it, he still has to do it.
What if!
What if General Suzaku really turns back?
If you don't work hard, how can you know the result.
And it turns out that he failed, there is no miracle, maybe there is a miracle in the world, but not tonight.
"Hey......."
With a long sigh, he expressed Li Xiaogong's regret.
He rolled over and dismounted, ripped his cloak off his back, and covered General Suzaku.
"General Suzaku and his soldiers will be buried in a thick manner."
Li Xiaogong gave the order loudly.
"General!"
At this time, a Xuanjia Iron Cavalry Commander came and said, "Your Majesty wants the heads of the four beast generals." β
Li Xiaogong frowned slightly: "Your Majesty's side, this king will go to explain, and he will be subject to the order of the monarch outside, now!" This is under the command of this king, you, you have any objections! β
His murderous gaze stared at the Commander of the Armor Iron Cavalry.
The commander of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry trembled, lowered his head and said, "The subordinates don't dare, so they will act according to the general's orders." β
He quickly retreated, not daring to stay any longer, for fear that Li Xiaogong would vent his anger at losing his confidant.
Li Xiaogong asked General Suzaku to bury General Suzaku's soldiers, but as for General Suzaku, he didn't let people move, because he wanted to bury his confidant himself.
But he had other things to do before he could be buried.
He led two hundred Xuanjia iron horsemen to the dock of the ship, which was the place where the villagers of Chuhe Village fled, and there were originally many spare ships, but General Suzaku had burned all the remaining ships after the last group of Chuhe villagers boarded the ship.
At present, in front of Li Xiaogong and others, there is a burned sea of fire residues.
There, there was nothing, they could not cross the river.
That's right.
If you look closely, there is one more thing.
Only at the shore, the black flag of the Chu Wangfu hanging high in the sky fluttered in the wind.
Li Xiaogong dismounted, looked at the flag, and sighed.
In the past, this black banner was the most reassuring existence for many Tang military attachΓ©s, because whenever it appeared, it would represent their own support, one of the four ace armies of the empire, which was extremely reassuring.
And today, it has become an enemy.
Li Xiaogong couldn't imagine this scene, and neither did Qin Qiong and others who were far away in Chang'an City.
Li Xiaogong came under the black flag.
Then, Lang Sheng spoke.
"Whole army! With this king, send the former Tang God of War, the King of Chu! Go all the way!! β
Li Xiaogong shouted while slashing his right palm, and the blood in his palm splashed to the ground, and he used the highest military send-off etiquette on the side of the Chu Wangfu to bid farewell to the former Tang God of War!
The Xuanjia Iron Riders who came with him, none of them questioned it, they also watched the deeds of the King of Chu, so they were very decisive to cut their palms and let the blood drip to the ground.
"Send, King Chu!!"
One voice, in unison, the voice of Qi Ruo seemed to be louder than the lightning in the sky.
.β¦β¦.β¦.β¦.β¦.β¦.
After the villagers of Chuhe Village crossed the river.
Walk along a ravine.
This is also the only road after crossing the river.
Canyon Ray of the Sky.
The rain was even heavier.
The villagers of Chuhe Village supported each other and walked, and 90 percent of them were old and weak women and children, and only 10 percent were men, and these 10 percent were men who had retired from various armies.
Chuhe Village was originally a village where the families of the soldiers were housed.
So most of them are old and weak, women and children.
Their men and fathers are all in the army of the King of Chu, and this time the change in Chuhe Village came too quickly, from Jieli Khan to say that he wanted the prince to be a proton, it has only been a day and a half now.
How they were reunited with their men, their fathers.
"Woo woo, mother, Grandpa Tan is dead, he died on the other side of the river."
"It's okay, it's okay, good boy, grandpa, he's just one step ahead of us, and we will probably reunite with him later, and we will never be separated."
"Grandma! Grandmother! Po [one year old] He cried again, I ....... me, I can't help it. β
"Grandpa, I'm hungry."
"Mother, can we still go back to Chuhe Village?"
"Oh yes, Fangfang doesn't cry, my mother is here, my mother is here to hug you."
"Grandpa! Why can't I see General Suzaku anymore, when he carried me on the boat just now, he clearly said that he would come later, is he behind. β
ββ¦β¦.β
The old and weak women and children do not have the military literacy of the army, and they have just experienced a scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and now after escaping, most of the children are crying, and some children are constantly traveling around, asking, "Where did my mother go, where did my mother go." β
Meanwhile.
This line of heavenly canyons, directly above more than ten meters, there are black soldiers on both sides of the canyon.
Is that.
Tang Jun!
The Don Army that still remains in combat condition in the rain!
And the one who led them was the earlier god of war of the Tang Dynasty, Tiance General Li Shimin!
Admiral Tiance is always like this, and in battle, he can appear in a place where the enemy army is taken by surprise and give the enemy a deadly attack.
It's good to be a teammate, but it's a nightmare if it's an enemy.
Now.
Li Shimin was surrounded by princeling generals such as Hou Junji, Niu Jinda, and Li Tai, as well as generals he trusted.
Li Shimin saw that all the villagers of Chuhe Village below had entered the canyon, and he knew that it was time to attack.
He didn't want to kill them, but he had a reason to kill them.
These people are not followers of the man, they are believers in him.
How terrifying faith is, Li Shimin, who has been fighting all his life, knows very well, that is a madman who will fight for faith even if his body is broken, as long as he has a breath.
Sometimes, Li Shimin believed that Chuhe Village and Jiangdong were not the territory of the King of Chu, but the sect of the King of Chu.
"Raise your bow."
It was very casual to speak, but soon there were many commanders to convey his will, so that the Tang army on the canyon raised their bows.
Many of the soldiers were a little at a loss, didn't they let them come to quell the rebellion? How did ....... point the finger at the old and weak women and children.
They looked left and right, full of dazed and incredulous, but in the end they raised their bows under the pressure of the major commanders, a minute or two later than the normal whole army raised their bows.
Li Shimin expected this, he knew the consequences of attacking the old and weak women and children, but he did it once, and that time was to kill Li Jiancheng's family.
Those family members were also innocent, but in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he still waved the butcher knife.
This is the Emperor's Family.
The most ruthless, the emperor's family!
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
The commanders of various places proclaimed Li Shimin's will, and those soldiers finally fired arrows in their inner self-blame.
"Whoosh!!"
In an instant, the sky above the canyon, which was already dark and raining, became even darker.
Some villagers noticed that there were fewer light sources, so they looked up and found a group of arrows covering the sky.
At that moment, she was not confused and afraid, she smiled.
Another old couple looked up at the sky and watched this scene, and the two of them hugged each other tightly.
"Old woman, do you regret marrying me? If you don't marry me, maybe you won't have to get involved in this war. β
The retired veteran looked at his daughter-in-law with soft eyes.
His daughter-in-law shook her head with a smile, her face full of firmness: "I don't regret it, if I do it all over again, I still want His Highness to be our witness, and I will also let you continue to be his soldier, accompany him to fight the world, and protect him." β
"By the way, you don't allow me to weather when you get down, we used to always quarrel, and let the children see it when we get below, it's not good, it's not good."
The retired veteran smiled and nodded.
The two hugged each other tightly.
"Shh
The next moment, the sea of arrows fell into the crowd and bloomed with bright blood flowers.
In front of the sea of arrows, whether it is children, women and children, and the elderly, they are all treated equally.
After shooting more than 30 waves.
Only then did Li Shimin lead the army down the canyon.
They entered from both sides of the canyon, all the soldiers armed with swords, and whenever they passed a villager from Chuhe Village, even if he was covered in blood, they would make up for it.
"Woo woo, mother, mother......."
"You don't sleep, don't sleep."
On Li Shimin's left side, there is a little boy crying helplessly, just now his mother used his body to protect him, his mother's back is full of arrows, and he is intact.
Li Shimin saw this scene, and for some reason, it was clear that Xuanwumen had already experienced this kind of thing once, but he still had tears in his eyes.
He didn't want to kill them, he really didn't want to!
But these people, if they don't get rid of them, the future will be dangerous, and the prince will be in danger.
He had a reason to have to kill them.
A drizzle fell on Li Shimin's face, making it impossible to see whether he was crying or rain under his sad expression.
Just as he was about to wave his hand to kill the child, Li Tai pulled out his sword and said loudly: "Father, let me come!" β
He didn't wait for Li Shimin to answer, he walked directly behind the kid and raised his long sword.
The kid didn't know that Li Tai was coming, and he didn't want to know, he only had his mother in his eyes, he wanted her to wake up, and he only wanted her to wake up.
"Whew!!"
Li Tai slashed at the kid's back, blood was pouring out, he was killing for the first time, but at the moment his eyes were extremely crazy.
Because he regarded this boy as the king of Chu, they were a little similar.
"King Chu, King Chu! Let you take away my face, let you take her, let you take her......."
Li Tai kept talking frantically, his hatred for the King of Chu was deep in his bones.
Li Shimin ignored him and continued to move forward.
Before, another woman was alive.
She seemed to have cried, her eyes were dark, she had a child in her arms, she was killed by an arrow, and she was supposed to cry for her child.
The woman was numb and calmly waited for death.
But after seeing Li Shimin, his whole body seemed to surge with strength at that moment.
She stood up.
Hoarseness and anger.
"Li Shimin!!!"
Her eyes were blood-red and she walked towards Li Shimin.
Niu Jinda wanted to block the woman for Li Shimin, but Li Shimin didn't wave his hand back, which was to tell him not to move.
Li Shimin only had that woman in his eyes, and after the woman walked in, she hit Li Shimin with her fists and with all her strength.
"Li Shimin! Li Shimin! β
"You bastard, a few years ago, my husband Jun Mo sword guard number 252, he blocked the knife for you! He died for you! I knew that you were such a brute, and my husband shouldn't have blocked the knife for you in the first place! β
The woman's tears rained down: "You return my husband, my husband's child, and I will return General Suzaku of Chuhe Village, and you will return me ....... return my Chuhe Village ......."
The more she beaten, the weaker she became, and she was so tired that she cried so much that she had no strength.
Li Shimin's originally firm eyes were completely rosy at this moment, he remembered this woman! It was precisely because of remembering that he blocked the cow from entering the country.
"I'm sorry."
Li Shimin had tears in his eyes.
The woman was still beating weakly: "You return my husband, my home, and ........"
"Whew!"
Still reading, a sword pierced through his stomach.
It was Li Shimin's sword, which stabbed into the woman's body very gently, trying not to make her die too painful.
"You pay back my husband, pay me back ......."
The woman was still reading, but she couldn't read it again after a few seconds.
She's dead.
Fall backwards.
But on the way down, Li Shimin threw down the sword in his hand, caught her, and hugged her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......."
"I don't want to, I really don't want to, but King Chu is too dazzling, too dazzling, I'm afraid! I'm afraid! I'm scared more than anyone! I just want to succeed to the throne! β
Li Shimin hugged her tightly, wept bitterly, and told the dead woman his heart.
Seeing this, Niu Jinda sighed, and hurriedly led the others away from here, leaving this place only to Li Shimin himself.
Li Shimin is still crying bitterly, still telling his heart, he didn't call me, it was me, as if he was not the untouchable son of the Tang Dynasty at this time, he was the king of Qin in that war-torn era, and the king of Qin who talked and laughed with many villagers in Chuhe Village.
Now.
The rain was heavier, and there was more lightning streaking, covering Li Shimin's collapse sound, after the lightning, this commanding Tiance general, his thoughts couldn't help but drift, and it seemed that he had returned to the time of the Xuanwumen Mutiny not long ago.
The scene of that day seemed to be presented to him again.
His Xuanjia army, the Mo sword guard of the king of Chu and the prince's army fought in front of the palace gate, and the gate of Xuanwu Gate was slammed shut.
The ground was stained with blood, broken swords and broken swords, and the corpses of many of his own people.
The final ending ended with the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji.
The two brothers were lying in front of him, breathless, and their pale faces were still deeply imprinted in Li Shimin's mind.
This scene, so similar to tonight, that he couldn't help but feel broken.
He didn't want to, he really didn't!
He used to be the king of Qin, and now he is the emperor, even if he is an emperor, the emperor is also a human being, and he also has feelings, he doesn't want to, he really doesn't want to do this.
But he had to do it again.
On this night, Admiral Tiance was crying.
Look directly at the devil inside yourself.
After this night, he will eventually become stronger.
