Chapter 100: Brothers Against Brothers!
In Chang'an City, there were constant mournings, and the remnants of the fleeing soldiers could be seen everywhere on the streets.
When they recalled the fiasco of the previous night and the death of their comrades, they were all filled with grief and could not help but cry bitterly and regret.
The men and horses of both roads were all defeated, and most of the soldiers and horses in the city were lost, and the morale that had just been brought up fell to the bottom again.
Inside the Shuaifu.
Li Wei sat in the middle of the hall, his eyes gloomy, and his heart was filled with endless sadness and resentment.
Li Ying, who was beside him, stood silently, looking at his brother with distressed eyes.
And Li Huan on the side was covered with blood and mud, and he hadn't had time to clean it up.
Li Wei's tears slipped down silently.
Li Shi, his son, was once his pride, but now he is gone forever.
His heart was filled with guilt and grief, and he blamed himself for not taking good care of his son and not protecting him from harm.
Li Wei's eyes fell on Li Huan, he entrusted his son to Li Huan, but he came back by himself, and a wave of anger began to burn in Li Wei's heart.
Li Wei jumped up violently, rushed to Li Huan's side and grabbed him by the collar, and scolded angrily: "You said you would take care of Shi'er, but why did he die in battle?" How did you take care of him? ”
Li Wei's voice was full of sadness and anger, and his eyes were full of resentment.
Li Huan stared at Li Dao coldly, and the deliberate silence made the atmosphere even more tense.
Li Huan didn't want to make any explanation at this time, and from the very beginning he tried his best to persuade Li Dao and his son not to go out of the city, but they just didn't listen.
When he arrived at Cao Zhang's camp, he was even more cautious not to let Li Shi lead the troops in a hurry, and reminded him everywhere.
Even when he finally broke through, he opened the way in front of his head and let Li Shi follow behind.
As an uncle, he thinks that he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, but he can't stand Li Shi from looking for death by himself, so he has to go back and fight with Cao Zhang, how can this be blamed on him? !
But Li Huan's silence not only did not subside Li Wei's anger, but became more vigorous, he shook Li Huan frantically, and continued to roar: "Why don't you speak, don't you usually talk a lot?" Say, "Give back my son!" ”
Li Huan was completely furious in the face of Li Dao's vexatious trouble, he shook off Li Dao's hand and responded angrily: "Li Dao! Don't put all the blame on me, your son's death has nothing to do with me! ”
"I reminded you from the beginning that Cao Zhang is scheming, the so-called messenger of Dong Cheng should not be trusted, as long as we stick to Chang'an, we will be fine, but do you father and son listen?"
"It's your father and son who are smart and insist on going out of the city to attack Cao Zhang's camp, and it's useless for me to persuade for a long time! Even when I got to the outside of the city, I tried my best to protect Shi'er, but he knew that he was not Cao Zhang's opponent, so he had to rush up and fight hard, you blame me for this!? How unreasonable! Li Huan angrily replied to Li Dao.
Li Wei's anger piled up even more, he stood up angrily, pushed Li Huan away, and roared angrily: "You coward! You dare to refute me now, are you going to rebel!? ”
Li Huan sneered and said mockingly: "Rebellion? I'm just telling the truth, is this also called rebellion?! ”
Li Dao suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist: "Do you believe that I killed you?!" ”
Not to be outdone, Li Huan also pulled out his sword: "Come on, I want to see if you have this ability?!" ”
Li Dao raised his sword and was about to pounce on Li Huan, Li Ying, who had been watching the two arguing from the side, made a move, and he used his sword to open Li Dao's sword and block it in the middle of the two.
Li Ying said sadly: "Two elder brothers, do you really want to fight in the same room now, kill each other, and do things that are fast for relatives and enemies!?" ”
Li Dao and Li Huan calmed down a little by Li Ying's roar, and both stopped in place with their swords, but the anger on their faces did not subside, and they still glared at each other.
"Brothers, now that things have happened, Shi'er is dead, and it will be useless for you to quarrel again. But now that Cao Zhang's army is still outside the city, shouldn't we unite and deal with Cao Zhang first, and strive to kill him to avenge our dead son?! Li Ying continued to persuade the two.
Speaking of this, he looked at Li Dao sadly and said in a low voice: "Big brother, don't forget, you are not the only one who has died of your son!" We should focus on the big picture now! ”
"The overall situation, the overall situation ......" Li Dao was moved by Li Ying's words and murmured in a low voice, but the grief in his heart still could not be eliminated, and tears rolled in his eyes.
Li Huan had calmed down a little, he took the lead in putting down the sword in his hand, and snorted coldly: "That's right, if you have the strength to lose your temper with your own people and use knives and guns, let's think about how to deal with Cao Zhang!" ”
Li Dao finally calmed down, slowly put down the sword in his hand, and sighed: "In the battle last night, our army lost more than half, and now there is no other way than to stick to Chang'an." ”
"Then don't blame each other, let's take everyone to resist Cao Zhang's attack first!" Although Li Huan didn't say anything more, his words were obviously full of dissatisfaction with Li Dao, and he turned around and walked out of the hall of the Shuai Mansion directly.
At this time, Li Huan knew very well in his heart that it was pointless to continue to quarrel with Li Dao, but he also remembered the other party's complaints deeply, and he was already full of resentment towards Li Dao at this time.
Li Dao looked at the departing Li Huan, recalling the whole thing that happened, he had to admit that Li Huan was right, the root cause of the failure was caused by his and his son Li Shi's blind self-confidence, and Li Huan was really not to blame.
Li Ying walked up to Li Dao and persuaded in a low voice: "Big brother, the sons are dead, and now only the three of us brothers are the closest people, I really hope that you don't quarrel anymore, we still have to find a way to repel Cao Zhangcai together." ”
Li Ying's tone was filled with deep worry and unease.
Li Wei looked at Li Ying and nodded lightly, and responded helplessly: "I know, I will control my temper, I have worked hard all night, go and rest." ”
Li Ying saw that Li Dao's mood was wrong, so he didn't say anything more, and withdrew after saluting Li Dao, leaving Li Dao alone in the hall.
Li Wei sat quietly in place, tears flowing uncontrollably again.
He knew that he could not undo the past and could not make up for the loss of his son, and he fell into a deep self-blame.
"Son, you have a spirit in the sky, you will definitely bless your father to win the next battle, and your father will definitely kill Cao Zhang with his own hands to avenge you!" Li Dao silently made an oath in his heart, his eyes regained their brightness, and his eyes were full of hatred and anger......
