Chapter 15, Embattled
Next
The conversation of everyone in the town after tea and dinner is the dream they had last night, and when it comes to the similarities of dreams, it is even more magical, and there are many discussions.
"I had a magical dream last night! In the dream, I felt like I was in a fairyland, and there were all kinds of mythical beasts flying overhead!
"Really?!I had the same dream last night!"
"Your dreams are ??? like that"
"That's right!!"
......
Just when everyone was discussing that magical dream, Yao Zhenyi had a bitter face, lying on the bed weakly, looking at the roof in a daze.
"Last night, that dream was so real...... And that fairy sister...... It's really beautiful......"
In the well in the depths of the young man's mind, the black python that was originally slowly swimming in the golden sea rolled its eyes like a human, and its huge head and huge pupils made such movements, such a strange scene.
The black python slandered in his heart, "What a fool." ”
......
And the Han Dynasty at this time,
From here to the south to the north of the thousands of miles, the mountains are built by huge city walls, His Majesty the Emperor has not been in the palace today to review the recitals of the officials from all over the country, but came to the "Xiongzheng Pass" in the twelve passes, only the national teacher Li Qingze beside him.
Emperor Gao Xuan stood on top of this magnificent and tall city wall, looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers outside the city wall, and the two of them were silent for a while.
At this moment, an eagle flew from a distance, hovered above the sky and landed shortly after, and the eagle talons tied to a small letter were firmly grasped on Li Qingze's shoulder.
Li Qingze took off the letter cylinder from the eagle's claws, twisted off the lid of the cylinder and poured out a roll of rice paper with a little red wax from it, opened the rice paper and looked at it, and Hao Ran wrote on it "Yin Shi, Chu died" Four unique seal characters of the Han Dynasty.
It's just that when he saw these four words, he was a little eager to speak.
"What's the matter? ”
At this moment, Emperor Gao Xuan, dressed in a dragon robe, still did not turn his head, looked ahead with his hands behind his back and asked.
Li Qingze replied softly, "Emperor Chu Hong died, just last night. ”
When Emperor Gao Xuan heard this, he didn't say a word, and only after a while did he speak, "I know." ”
Emperor Chu Hong, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, had overpowered the Han Dynasty in the past years, known as the Western Chu Xiong Emperor, and the Great Han Dynasty were divided into different things, and the Huai River was the line, so there was a "Chu River Han Boundary" so said.
At that time, the Han Dynasty did not have this grand scene, and was still in the stage of strong soldiers, although at that time Emperor Gao Xuan was guided by Lu Shang, who was known as the "Taigong", and gave him the "Six Guards" and "Eight Expeditions" governing the country, and then launched to His Majesty the ambitious Emperor to cultivate oneself with benevolence and righteousness, rule the country by law, and appoint people on the basis of merit, and finally recommended the only disciple, that is, the current national teacher Li Qingze, to him.
It's just that there is nothing to do, after the incident twelve years ago, the Han Dynasty suffered this catastrophe before it could fully recover, so it had to compromise with the Great Chu Dynasty that was overwhelmed by the army at that time.
His Majesty the Emperor, known as the "madman", not only sent more than a dozen treasures, but also a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and heavy grain and grass, and then ruthlessly sent the prince with only one remaining bloodline to the Great Chu Emperor Chu Hong, in exchange for more than ten years of stability in the Han Dynasty.
Seeing that Emperor Gao Xuan was so "timid", the Great Chu Emperor ignored the painstaking advice of his advisers and ministers, so he was satisfied with those things, went home with the young "hostage", and made an oath with Emperor Gao Xuan on the spot that the Great Chu and the Great Han would never offend each other and form an alliance together!
Since then, the "madman" emperor of the Han Dynasty has not been dressed properly for several years, in order to tell himself that that day will always be an indelible shame!
The Han Dynasty is after decades of stability, coupled with the temple to govern the country on the basis of meritocracy, under the temple is the implementation of the policy of recuperation with the people, the country has long been rich and the people are strong, and in one fell swoop into the unprecedented prosperity.
The attack on the Dongshao Dynasty on the Huai River was sent by the national teacher Li Qingze, and the secret agent who had been lurking in the Great Chu for a long time reported that it was that the Chu Hong Emperor had no ambition in the past, and that he had no way in the past few years, and that he had become more and more tyrannical.
Sure enough, after that, the Great Chu Dynasty did not make any movement, and turned a blind eye to the "deviant" behavior of the Great Han Dynasty.
Only Long Yike, known as the "Flying Gallop" general, guarded Rongyang City under the Eastern Peony Dynasty, which is now where Zhou Yu has taken the Eastern Peony Dynasty, which is said to have abandoned the city and fled, thousands of miles away, in the middle of the boundary between Great Chu and Great Han.
Emperor Gao Xuan retracted his thoughts, and when he heard this "good news", he was mixed with joy, and the joy was that it was not a problem for the Han to take the Rongyang City after all, but it was invincible to foreign patients, and the country would permanently perish, and comfort was not a good thing after all.
His Majesty the Emperor turned around and asked Li Qingze on the side, "How is Duan'er over there?" ”
High-end, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was taken hostage by Da Chu when he was young.
Li Qingze bowed and smiled, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave the Huaiyang Palace, and is now crossing the Huaijiang River to this side." Zhou Yu led the three armies, and after taking the opportunity to take the capital of the Eastern Peony Dynasty, he besieged Rongyang City overnight, and now the two armies have been facing each other for several days. ”
"Yes, I know. Emperor Gao Xuan replied, and then as if he remembered something, he asked with a rare smile, "What about my good imperial brother Gao Yuan, don't tell me that he didn't go to that Da Chu." ”
Li Qingze also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the vassal king Gao Yuan has arrived in the land of Great Chu a few days ago, but instead of going to Rongyang City, he went straight to the direction of the capital of Huaiyang Palace. ”
Emperor Gao Xuan raised his eyebrows, and said to Li Qingze with interest, "It must be your idea." ”
Li Qingze nodded, and then said again, "As for Rongyang City, the minister has already sent a plan to Zhou Yu, presumably in three days at the latest, he will definitely take Rongyang City!"
Emperor Gao Xuan turned around and looked at the majestic mountains outside the city wall, where a few birds were flying through the clouds and straight up to the sky, "Then I'll wait and see." ”
......
Chu River Han boundary,
That is to say, the east is divided into thousands of miles of the Huaijiang River by Chu, and the Huaijiang River is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The west is divided by the Han land, and the emperor of the Great Chu once said with a smile: "The Eastern Chu and the Western Han Dynasty divide the world in the middle!"
Rongyang City is separated in the middle of this line, and at this time Rongyang City has long been unrecognizable, the city wall is full of potholes, and under the city wall are countless corpse remains and dense bows and arrows.
Today, Long Yigang, the "galloping" general of Da Chu, blocked the next wave of the offensive of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, he was wearing heavy armor stained with the blood of the Han soldiers, and he was sitting on the main seat in the attic of the city head, with a long sword in front of him, his hands on the hilt of the sword and his eyes closed, and only a few deputy generals who were not seriously injured on the side guarded.
Outside the city of Rongyang City, all the water is surrounded by water, there are soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty outside the city gates everywhere, fortunately the soldiers of the Great Chu Dynasty are brave, so they have not lost this city, but now it is like a turtle in the urn.
After a while, on the city wall in the distance, a soldier with a dirty face suddenly rushed over in a panic, and finally fell in front of Long Yi because his steps were too fast, looking embarrassed.
"Report!!will... The general ......," the soldier stammered in a panic.
"Don't panic when you encounter something, don't be alarmed! What does General Ben tell you on weekdays? ”
The former tiger general of Da Chu slowly opened his eyes and scolded in a deep voice.
I saw that the soldier was actually crawling on his knees, and after a while, he trembled and cried, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty has returned to heaven!!"
"What ?!!"
As soon as the words fell, several lieutenants next to him took a step back when they heard this, and said in disbelief.
Long Yi stretched out his left hand and grabbed the collar of the panicked soldier's armor with one hand, staring at the soldier with a muddy face between his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know that if you shake the heart of the army, you can be executed on the spot?!
The soldier who was stared at by Long Yi felt the feeling of suffocation coming from his neck, and hurriedly said, "General! It's true! When I entered the city, I didn't see the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty!"
"Bang!"
Long Yi let go of the soldier's collar, and he fell to the ground.
There is a bloody mark on Long Yi's resolute face, which was scratched by the arrow shot by Zhou Yu of the Han Dynasty before, and it is a good Han Zhou Lang who burned 300,000 Dongshao Dynasty!
At this time, I saw that the general of the great Chu "Flying Gallop" who had fought on the battlefield in the past closed his eyes and unconsciously shed a tear, obviously confirming the truth of this matter.
Then he opened his eyes again, but he said sharply, "What a murderer will punish the heart first!"
can let this soldier come and go freely, and he has not seen any soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty along the way, presumably Zhou Yu wants to let this stubborn soldier who defends the city know about it!
"Boom!"
At this moment, a horn sounded outside the walls around Rongyang City, and all the Great Chu soldiers were vigilantly staring around, and Long Yi above the city also frowned, looking solemnly at the slowly marching army in front of him, the Great Han Dynasty!
"Long Yi! Emperor Chu Hong is dead!
In front of that army, a white-robed general dressed in silver armor and riding a horse under his crotch slowly led out, shouting at Long Yi on the city wall.
Long Yi sat on the main seat holding the sword with both hands, as if he was turning a blind eye to this scene, only the knuckles of the two fingers holding the long sword in front of him were so hard that they turned white, which showed that his heart was not as calm as it appeared at this time.
"General!"
And the several lieutenants behind him all had gloomy faces, and the other party was so disrespectful! How could they bear it! So they asked Long Yi together.
Long Yi still closed his eyes, and said with a little tiredness, "The soldiers haven't closed their eyes for a few days, and this morning they are strong enough to resist the siege of the Han Dynasty, let them rest......"
Zhou Yu was dressed in a white robe and silver armor, sitting on horseback and looking at the indifferent Long Yi above the city, as if he had expected it, his handsome and delicate face smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and rode behind him, and said with a smile, "Do what the national teacher tells you to do." ”
The man had the reins in his hand, and when he heard this, he clasped his fists and said, "Yes, General!" and he rode to the rear of the army.
......
"Now there is the Chu River and the Han realm, and the great Chu of the past is no longer restored! The sun and the moon are fighting and finally returning to the Han land. The white-haired old mother is looking forward to breaking her liver and sausage, and her wife is so embarrassed that she is alone in the empty room. The brothers want to see him, they stomp their feet and wipe their palms, and the sisters miss each other, and they shed a thousand tears. Therefore, make friends, visit the door, window brothers, ask short questions. Once the soldiers are engaged, the spear is killed, the flesh and bones are muddy, and the battlefield is fought together. Why don't you miss your hometown, go to your hometown, reunite at home, and be healthy forever. ”
Just when the two armies were facing each other, suddenly, outside Rongyang City, there were pieces of singing voices coming in, such as grievances, such as crying, one high, one low, one long, one short, as if Jiugao Crane was mourning in the four fields.
With the sound of Chu Ge and the sadness of Chu, I have to say that this hand is really powerful.
When the soldiers of the Chu army on the city wall heard this, their hands holding weapons couldn't help but tremble, and some soldiers fell directly to the ground, crying bitterly.
"General!!, let us fight to the death against the Han Dynasty!!"
On the side of the attic at the head of the city, Long Yi looked at the several deputy generals kneeling on the ground in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, embattled, Chu Zhi's general trend is gone!
