"Of course you can!" Guo Kai raised his head, as if he was giving orders on the battlefield.

But soon, his voice softened again, and he said slowly: "If it falls, who in the army can take on this great responsibility? Brothers, you will always go home in the future, and your family members are all in the Mo family, right? You were born into the Mo family, do you still think that you can take root in the Tang country and stay for a long time? Even if you are willing, why should the people of the Tang country support you?"

"But General, didn't you just say ...... It won't fall. ”

"I'm really not going to ...... But if you kill me at this moment, after I die, I can't control everything in the army, you can take my head as a vote, and if you don't think about me, the Tang Kingdom will not embarrass you...... Let me be the last thing I do for you. ”

His voice didn't pretend to be pathetic, just a little tired.

After they retreated into Pinggu, he could barely sleep at night.

Whenever he closed his eyes, in the darkness, there seemed to be endless Tang army sword light and flames in the sky, or the stern expressions of the giant and the master.

There were also the officials in the court, those who were familiar and those who were not familiar with him, each of them overwhelmed him like a mountain, and every word was full of anger, accusing him of why he was greedy for merit and why he did not defend Xingzhou well.

Whenever he did, he would sit up, light an oil lamp, and stare intently at the large map beside him.

The map is full of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Mo family, but what is the use of it for him now? He is already the turtle in the urn of the Tang army, and the tea leaves are right, Zhao Kuan's 70,000 reinforcements have all been wiped out, and even if the court has the heart to come to help, it will take time to allocate troops and horses, and it is impossible to arrive in such a short time.

"There's something I want you to do for me. Guo Kai stretched out a smile on his face, and his eyes revealed a bit of death.

"General, please. Tea bit his lip, his hand holding the knife trembled, and he had to cover his other hand with the hilt as well.

"If you still remember my kindness to you, if you can still return to Jicheng alive after this great battle, go to the school where the master lectures...... You help me tell the master that his student Guo Kai ...... Kill yourself to death, and not surrender. ”

Guo Kai closed his eyes with relief, feeling as if he had returned to his youth in an instant, back to that bright school, his ears were full of the master's earnest teachings, at that time, the birds outside the window were crying gently, and his chest was still full of excitement......

Tea stood stunned, the long knife in his hand was on Guo Kai's shoulder, he didn't even have to use much strength, as long as he turned the handle slightly, his sharp knife could cut the throat of the person in front of him, and bright red blood would gush out, splash on his face, stain his blade, and then drip to the ground little by little, like pieces of red leaves.

He has been in the army for many years, so this situation is naturally all too familiar.

But can he really cut this knife? He hesitated, caught in a dilemma.

Perhaps because he had waited too long, Guo Kai opened his eyes suddenly, and his deep black eyes were full of anger.

He puffed out his chest like an angry lion, and for decades, he already had an indelible majesty in his body.

"Do it! Isn't it possible that you won't give me this last shred of dignity?"

In his low shout, Tea's eyes suddenly widened, and he raised the long knife in his hand with both hands!

Guo Kai smiled, he closed his eyes again, it seemed that all the nightmares would leave him with the coming pain, and eternal death was opening its arms to him...... Countless images flashed through his mind like a marquee.

He studied hard at a young age, and by chance was elected to enter the Jishang Palace to become one of the thousands of students, and later he worshiped Confucianism, and heard Master Zhong sit in the hall and lecture with ease, and since then he has been intoxicated by it.

He went from a small local official at the bottom to a steady step by step to the position of the current feudal official, but he always remembered the master's resounding words.

You can't have both, sacrifice your life for righteousness!

The sword flashed, the candle flame twisted heavily, and the humming blade cut through the air, swept out a sharp wind, and finally fell......

But Guo Kai didn't die.

He frowned suspiciously, and waited a few more breaths before finally being sure that he didn't feel any pain...... And where did the wind he heard?

He opened his eyes, turned his head and saw an extra crack on the side of the tent, and Tea was looking at him eagerly.

Cha Cha clasped his fists and saluted: "General, go quickly! I, I can only help you get here...... They're coming, so let's go, General!"

"They...... Who is it?" Guo Kai did not immediately withdraw and left, and asked slowly.

Lin Xin, Hu Tian, Zhang Jiuxin...... There were five generals who ...... "Seeing that Guo Kai didn't move, he didn't care about any etiquette and humility for a while, so he pounced suddenly, lifted his back collar, and pushed him into the cut of the big tent.

He said while pushing: "They have rebelled in private, forcing me to join them, asking me to come over and kill you, and then tell the public that you committed suicide in fear of sin, and at dawn, they will also kill several other generals, and then go out with the rest of the people to surrender." ”

Large beads of sweat oozed from the forehead of the tea leaves, and the cold wind of late autumn poured in from the breach of the big tent, but he only felt that his heart was boiling.

"If they see that there is no movement here, they will definitely rush in with their soldiers, general! Flee quickly! Ignore anyone you meet along the way, keep running, don't stop! As long as you escape to General Wang's camp, everything will still have a turnaround!"

At this moment, the curtain of the big tent was suddenly lifted, and several generals who had long been unable to hold back outside finally appeared, and behind them, stood a group of sergeants wearing armor and holding crossbow arrows.

Several people saw that the tea leaves were pushing Guo Kai, and immediately understood everything, and one of them let out a loud shout: "Release the arrows! Don't let them run!"

Tea looked back, shouted in his heart, and hurriedly used all his strength to push Guo Kai's entire body out, and he also raised his long knife in the next moment and stopped in front of the breach......

Feathered arrows struck, piercing through the hard leather armor on his chest without any suspense, and even pierced deep into his eye sockets.

He staggered back two steps, a contemptuous smile on his lips, and clenched his long knife again......

Guo Kai was almost knocked out by him, and after rolling on the ground several times without standing steadily, he finally stood up in embarrassment.

"Tea!"

"General!

There was a sudden chaos in the tent, and several generals saw that the tea leaves that had been hit by dozens of arrows were still standing, and even waved their knives to come forward to fight with them, and they were shocked for a while, only a team of crossbowmen who remained outside the tent began to bypass the big tent and prepare to surround Guo Kai.

Guo Kai knew that he must not stop here, so he finally glanced at the crumbling back in the tent, and shook his head with red eyes and fled.

Tea turned his head sideways and saw the galloping figure gradually moving away, followed by the sound of crossbow firing intertwined, and then his vision was blurred, and several soldiers who came up on him stabbed him through the waist and abdomen with spears in their hands, and his whole person was lifted into the air......

An irritable insult appeared among the sergeants chasing Guo Kai: "I said that the one surnamed Cha is a soft bone! You still believe his nonsense! You should have listened to me and rushed in together, and you wouldn't let Guo Kai's old boy run away." ”

Another person complained: "What's the use of talking about this now! Hurry up and chase him! If he is allowed to flee to Wang Anan's side, we will suffer later!"

"Nonsense, isn't Lao Tzu also chasing! Hey, this old boy's cultivation is not high, and his ability to escape is very good......
