The sunset in Pingsha is in the west, and the stars on Longshang are high and low. There are a few places in the lonely mountain to see the beacon fire, and the strong men are waiting for the drums.

At dusk, watching the sunset that had also shrouded the Short Knife Valley gradually sinking, Cao Xuan, who was walking slowly on the road, suddenly recalled that on the evening when he first arrived at Su Xuexue, the mountains of Sichuan and Shu were dyed reddish, and the military camp at that time was the same, and it was still in full swing when night fell.

With a long sigh, those are still far away after all, and they are even like a world away.

If the mood will still be extremely bad affected by Su Muzi, then Cao Xuan, the head teacher of other people and other things, thinks it is worth it.

Others, Lin Qian's people.

During this period, in addition to Cao Xuan and the old ministers of the Su family recommending He Pinzhang to Lin Qian, several Tian Ruoning generals who had previously returned to Lin Qian also praised He Pinzhang's talent to Lin Qian. The people who recommended Hepinzhang are far more than these.

Cao Xuan also heard that after waking up, He Pinzhang not only refused to give in, but even insulted Lin Qian, even so, he was not blamed by Lin Qian or questioned by the allies.

The reason is that in addition to Lin Qian's own generosity, there are other teachings Cao Xuan who is very surprised, both unexpected and surprised: under Lin Qian's account, Guo Zijian, Gu Tingxian, and Yang Zhixin all complained about Lin Qian's persuasion of the lord, this person is just young and ignorant;

These are the people who will work together in the future, how can they not teach Cao Xuan to feel gratified.

Especially the last three, retrospectively they were all members of the official army, and they belonged to the Yue faction ranking, Guo Gao's son, and Gu Zhen's command, and they returned to Lin Qian in three periods. In the past, the three major armies of Guo, Su and Yue in the off-road cottages were the weak and the strong, and they were intrigued. Up to now, it has been completely assimilated by the Anti-Gold Alliance, and it is one with absolute mutual trust.

In the wounded barracks, although they were dozens of steps away, He Pinzhang's figure could still be distinguished by Cao Xuan at a glance. I can't tell if it's because the outline is too clear, Cao Xuan is too familiar, or because it feels too lonely and clearly conveys unsociability.

At this moment, the people of Hepinzhang are sitting in the allies, but their hearts are in a corner. He obviously took advantage of Lin Qian's people not to disturb him and came out of the tent to move his muscles, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly lost his strength, so he could only sit down and quietly look at the things in his hand in a daze.

Cao Xuan frowned, but he made up his mind, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, He Pinzhang turned his face and still had obvious repulsion, but when he found out that it was him, he was slightly restrained: "General Cao." ”

In Hepinzhang's heart. Cao Xuan is a respectable and obedient superior, Cao Xuan betrayed the Su family and chose to return to Lin Qian because he was betrayed by Su Muzi and forced to have no other choice. Therefore, although He Pinzhang knew that Cao Xuan was already Lin Qian's person at this moment, and Cao Xuan was likely to come with the intention of persuading him to surrender, he was able to tolerate and forgive his defection, and he also had a rare sense of closeness to him.

It may be said that although there are different fronts at the moment, in the mood, in the end, they are still the same fallen people.

"Come with me. Cao Xuan found that He Pinzhang was holding it in his hand. It was an old thing of the message.

Chen Xun is in the cause of reunification jointly worked by Lin Qian, Guo Zijian, and Cao Xuan. The most stubborn and final obstacle is also a big obstacle.

No matter how you go to subtlety, drop by drop, in the end, that person is determined by death, how can it not form a fortress of fate in the minds of people like He Pinzhang.

Su Muzi, He Pinzhang, and others felt that the Sichuan army was not like the Soviet army, which had been crawling in Longyou for many years, and that its loyalty to the Soviet snowfall might not stand the test, and accordingly, Lin Qian would be more tolerant of the Sichuan army than the Soviet army, and he was afraid that in the end, the Sichuan army would not be firm, and would be appeased by Lin Qian, and then return to Sichuan and Shu as Lin Qian's generals. Even if the Sichuan army ensured its loyalty, it would not be able to personally feel the hatred of Lin Qian, so it could not stand in the position of the Soviet army and think what they thought. Invisibly, Su Muzi and others were estranged from Chen Xun and others.

However, although Chen Xun was disappointed in Su Muzi and committed suicide, he still wanted to eliminate Su Muzi's prejudice and estrangement against the Sichuan army. He first emphasized with death that even if he was disappointed in Su Muzi, he would never betray Su Muzi and surrender to Lin Qian; if he was destined to part ways with Su Muzi, then he would choose to die as a martyr; if he couldn't return to Sichuan and Shu with Su Muzi, he wouldn't return!

Second, the Sichuan army and the Soviet army have "identity", we are all the same, we all swear to defend the foundation of the Su family to the death, we are loyal to the Su family, we are the people of the Su family in life, and we are the ghosts of the Su family in death, since we can even give you our lives, how can we not think about what you think from the standpoint of the Soviet army? It's just that we must objectively think of a more long-term thing for the future of the Soviet army, that is to say, we can empathize with it, but we are also rational and higher than emotional, and those differences of opinion should definitely not be estrangement, but should be integrated......

Chen Xun hopes that after his death, the Sichuan army and the Soviet army can realize all the above to prevent the recurrence of the tragedy and the continued deepening of the estrangement, and expect Su Muzi to change his obstinate behavior and not let He Pinzhang and Cao Xuan also die of disappointment. Chen Xun's two major emphasis, in fact, can be regarded as a kind of reverse assimilation of the Soviet army's die-hard loyalists to the Sichuan army.

The role played by Chen Xun, to be honest, even if it was not from Su Muzi's position, even if it was not for the sake of fighting against Cao Xuan and Qin Feng, even if it did not have any impact on Su Muzi himself, it really brought some Soviet troops to reflect on and promote the compatibility of some Sichuan and Soviet troops for a long time.

"Chen Xun emphasized that the Sichuan army and the Soviet army do have 'identity', we are all members of the Su family, we want to protect the business of the old lord, and we also have the same enemy, it is the Jin army, not Lin Qian. After walking for a while, Cao Xuan finally spoke, He Pinzhang subconsciously clenched the object in his hand and sighed, he knew that Cao Xuan was coming, and he couldn't stop Cao Xuan from opening, he should come or come at this moment. That's right, there is also anti-gold in the "identity" of Chen Xun.

"The Su family is the master of the official army of the Short Knife Valley, and it is also a part of the official army of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the foundation of the old lord is the Northern Expedition against Jin, I have not forgotten these. He Pinzhang replied cautiously, avoiding talking about Lin Qian.

"Anti-Jin Northern Expedition. If you can't return to Sichuan and Shu, you can continue to continue in Longshan. Cao Xuan easily grasped the many aspects emphasized by Chen Xun and followed them carefully.

"However, I think Yu Longshan continues, but you all submit to others. He Pinzhang's eyes showed a hint of sadness. "Although the lord of Bai Lu is also at fault, Pinzhang knows that loyal ministers cannot be loyal to the two of them. ”

"The Sichuan army and the Soviet army have the same roots, but the official army and the righteous army, isn't it the same? Although there are differences in concepts, there are no differences in principles, and they are both anti-Jin. Cao Xuan touched the toughness in him, and turned his head to look at him more toughly, "Loyal ministers can't be loyal to two people, the word 'people'." How to define it? Does it mean a shell, or an ideal? Is it for a private person, or for a family and a country? If the lord has changed, and that person should be the original intention of the lord, can it be seen that the person who submits to him is a good beginning and the end?"

He Pinzhang has always listened to him simply, it is impossible to refute him, and it is impossible to refute him, so listen quietly at this moment. He could only bow his head and be silent, and continue walking behind him.

"General Mu. After walking for a while, I suddenly heard Cao Xuan greeting the leader of a group of people passing by. He Pinzhang had heard a little, that was one of the six lords of the Qianxi Demon Gate in the past, Mu Er, who had been Shun Lin Qian for nearly two years, and was Mu Ziteng's right-hand man. Recently, after the Battle of Jingning, Cao Xuan and his division also cooperated in several battles. Each one is said to be quite beautiful.

It is also strange that some people who can't be beaten by the eight poles can also work together and fight the corners, I have to say that Lin Qian is a wonderful bond.

"General Cao, are you reluctant to leave Longshan? reluctant to have the good scenery here?" He Pinzhang looked at it carefully. General Mu Er, who spoke, had a big beard and looked very calm and serious.

"Yes, but Jingning's road is really strange, many of them are oblique, except for the road I just came to, the rest are not due south or north. Cao Xuan smiled.

Mu Er was stunned for a moment, and looked over there for a moment: "General Cao, this is wrong, the one you just came here is oblique." ”

"It turned out that I was mistaken, and this is the right way. Cao Xuan seemed to beat the side drum on He Pinzhang, and at the same time sent Mu Er away, "Don't hinder General Mu, go and see the lord!"

But the lord who Cao Xuan talks easily with people is no longer the lord of him and He Pinzhang...... He Pinzhang's eyes suddenly seemed to be blindfolded by something, and they spread out for a long time.

Cao Xuan wanted to say something he wouldn't understand, and after stubbornly sticking to the seemingly right direction for many years, he suddenly found that the first half of his life was wrong, and he and Su Muzi had been separated at this fork in the road of life.

Walked silently on the flat road for a while, although it was much easier to walk than the bumpy trail, but He Pinzhang knew that he was familiar with the mud after all, and he was not used to it, and it was too terrible to get used to it.

"General Cao, lord, what do you say?" After making sure that there was no one around, He Pinzhang suddenly asked Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan was stunned, but he didn't want to think back about that person: "I don't want to look back." He knew that the first of Chen Xun's two major emphasis, he couldn't convince him at the moment - even if he was disappointed in Su Muzi, he would not turn his back on Su Muzi, and if he was destined to part ways with Su Muzi, he would choose to die and die.

Chen Xun, as Hepinzhang's confidant, is also a role model for Hepinzhang. Su Muzi's mistake doesn't mean that they have to choose Lin Qian, and even they have never left a place for Lin Qian in their hearts; they don't know where to go next when they leave Su Muzi.

"General Cao, although you can't get rid of Chu Fengliu's crime, I firmly believe that you will not be her inner ghost, you were abandoned by the lord to protect the handsome. So I understand your disappointment and forgive your defection, but I don't think you're right, not everyone should be betrayed when they are hurt...... Although the lord was really sorry for the Soviet army and disappointed me that day, can't he forgive him? Take him back and wait for him to change?" He Pinzhang sincerely said the feelings in his heart, his eyes were clear, even Cao Xuan, he couldn't persuade him anymore.

He Pinzhang's sentence is clear, I don't interfere with your choice, and you don't come to make a decision for me, okay.

Moreover, He Pinzhang obviously still has hope for Su Muzi, even if his heart is poked, he still does not slack off and waits with the greatest kindness......

If Su Muzi could return to Lin Qian, Hepinzhang would obviously nod happily and join him, but Cao Xuan knew that Su Muzi was impossible. Then He Pinzhang's current determination is likely to lead the ending to go to the dark with Su Muzi - He Pinzhang prayed in his heart that Su Muzi would be forgiven and then change, but he may have guessed that no one would give Su Muzi a chance to reform again, because he had a premonition of Lin Qian's treatment of Su Muzi, and He Pinzhang is now waiting for death under the hope of one in ten thousand.

Rush to this. If it was really because he couldn't pretend to be able to do it, He Pinzhang must have continued to pretend to be asleep.

That night, Mu Er finally reunited with Lin Qian after two years, the right path of the Demon Gate, the official army and the righteous army, and Longyou Shandong, many characters gathered together to discuss meritorious deeds, and old friends and new friends talked about drinking. Swords are fun, and it is very lively. He Pinzhang was also invited, but He Pinzhang was not present.

General He said that he was not healed from his injuries and was infected with a cold, so he could not come. "How can He Pinzhang come? and in what capacity. Now he has not surrendered, but he is coveted by others in other people's territory, not embarrassed or embarrassed, no different from a bird in a cage.

The response he received was expected Lin Qian not to be angry at all, but unexpectedly Lin Qian sent him medicine and a quilt......

He. He didn't want to have anything to do with Lin Qian at all, but he had to bow his head when he was under the eaves! He Pinzhang was forced to take it hard, and his heart was entangled and angry, he didn't understand why Lin Qianqiang couldn't let him go because of his adult beauty? I wanted to be kind to him, and I wanted to beg him to be obedient like this. However, he will certainly not waver, and he will not be bold. The rich cannot be lewd, and the poor cannot be moved!

"Please tell the king of the League, He thanked him, and asked him to send a copy to my lord. He Pinzhang replied coldly.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the moon is dark and the stars are sparse, and the cold wind is howling.

Cao Xuan's parting period is approaching. After planning to return to Sichuan and Shu, this Longshan Soviet army can only ask Lin Qian to temporarily hand over to Gu Tingxian, who is leading the Tian family's army, to take charge of it, however, Gu Tingxian's energy for many tasks is destined to be limited. A huge Soviet army, the dragons have been leaderless for a long time, and it is not a way in the end.

In the dead of night, pacing out of the tent, seeing that the climate was gloomy, it seemed that there was rain to fall, Cao Xuan was feeling sorry for himself, and suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Father-in-law!"

He turned around, and at first glance saw Su Muxun standing in the corner with messy sideburns, his big eyes were full of anxiety, he was surprised, and immediately strode over: "Muxun, why are you here?"

"I want to ...... I want to see my brother...... It's been a long time since I've seen him, I don't know how he's doing!" Su Muxun burst into tears when he saw Cao Xuan.

No matter how lacking her mind was, she could finally learn what happened on the night of the attack on Bai Lu from the words of others, she didn't expect that telling the truth to save her father-in-law would bury her brother because of it, but why can't her father-in-law and brother coexist? They are the most important people in her life.

"I just want my brother to come back! I can be with Mu Xun, with my father-in-law, and we ...... together" Su Muxun's eyes were red, and he told the truth when he sobbed, "My brother said that Mu Xun is in the world, and he is the only one left......

Cao Xuan's heart was as cold as iron when he faced Su Muzi, but he couldn't bear to look at Su Muxun's melancholy eyebrows again.

"Father-in-law, can't you take Mu Xun to see my brother?" she came to him, wiping her tears and pleading incessantly.

"Mu Xun ......" Cao Xuan looked at this pitiful look, and never made up his mind to say the sentence I can't, just as he was stalemate, he suddenly saw a fire not far away, and in an instant there was a loud bang, as if something unpredictable had happened.

"Not good. Of course, Cao Xuan secretly screamed badly, because the direction he was looking at now was the direction he instinctively looked at because of Su Muxun's plea - the place where Su Muzi was under house arrest.

In fact, because of the relationship between the old ministers of the Su family, it is impossible for the allies to treat Su Muzi at such a moment, although Su Muzi has lost his freedom and is difficult to have close communication with the outside world, but at least his life and life can be guaranteed, and where he is locked up is not a secret to many people, it cannot be a secret.

In a moment, too many thoughts flowed through Cao Xuan's heart, could it be that someone didn't spare him and wanted to rob him away?! But Guo Zijian arranged that the guards outside Su Muzi's tent were quite strict, and there were masters rotating day and night!

Unless, unless there is a stronger master who can't guard against it, for example, someone who has been pretending to be sick for a long time.

That person, together with a few like-minded people, silently observed Guo Zijian's lieutenant generals, the time of the changing of the guard, and the weaknesses of each person.

That person, while mediating his fate with Lin Qian, thought in detail about how to deploy the prison robbery, when to attack, and the division of labor and cooperation.

That person is brave and resourceful in the battlefield, and he was originally not lost to Cao Xuan, and he was not inferior to any role in the Anti-Gold Alliance.

That young man, surnamed Heming Pinzhang, is obviously still everyone's attention......

He, they, how can they forget to defend him while needing him and influencing him!

Even though Cao Xuan had already informed Lin Qian. He Pinzhang just wanted to accompany Su Muzi, or return to Shun together, or wait for death directly, but they all forgot to scrutinize, He Pinzhang would rather stubbornly choose the third method - knowing that Lin Qian wanted him He Pinzhang, he also ruthlessly cut off the back road between him and Lin Qian!

I didn't expect it. There is someone who can be so loyal to Su Muzi after he has been taught repeatedly and it is difficult to write, and he can still be so loyal to him, and he depends on him for life and death!

Yes, He Pinzhang risked his life to rescue the second general of Su who betrayed his relatives, even if he braved the disapproval of the world and gave up the bright road, he was pointed out by thousands of people, and he must follow the loyalty in his heart.

So continue to make big mistakes, sorry for more and more people, such as those who have just returned to Lin Qian, will the trust of the Su clan be affected...... But it has nothing to do with He Pinzhang, it should be the price of their betrayal of the faith, for example, during the rescue operation, he will cut those deputy generals Guo Zijian who are in charge of guarding, although He Pinzhang is sorry for them. But after all, each for his own master, can only be offended.

So he resolutely broke through the tent to untie the shackles, and cut Guo Zijian's henchman, a young general named Liu Gan, who was most entangled, into serious injuries.

After a turmoil, they took the road away, at that time, Lin Qian, Mu Er, and Guo Zijian were still planning the situation in Shaanxi, and they never imagined that He Pinzhang would act so quickly, and they rushed over in a while, but when they arrived, there was only an empty camp. It is rumored that Yu Ruijie, who had a father-brother enmity with He Pinzhang, led his men to chase after him at that time, threatening to endure it for a long time, and this time he must not be spared again. The anger that Guo Zijian once suppressed finally erupted again because of He Pinzhang's actions, and since then the contradiction has been irremediable.

The robbery of the prison obviously happened at an inopportune time, not only did Su Muzi's successful escape suffer endlessly, but it was also not conducive to the initial integration of the official army and the righteous army.

When Cao Xuan and Su Muxun arrived in a panic, they only saw Guo Zijian angry, obviously because he saw Liu Gan and others being damaged for no reason. In addition, the lord and himself have been painstakingly putting it into the water for days, only to feel that this Hepinzhang simply does not know what to do, not only does not understand the allied army, but also harms the allied generals, and in anger, the knife is thrown to the ground. He reprimanded, "What is the difference between He Pinzhang's move and Su Muzi's! Give him a chance to be in trouble! I thought he was a brave talent, but he didn't even know how to be a man, this kind of person, what use does the lord want from him? Why do you need him?!"

Lin Qian knew that Guo Zijian had a temperament and loved soldiers like a son, and it was really difficult for him to endure enemies for so long, and the situation in front of him was indeed easy to excite Guo Zijian, but he did not follow Guo Zijian's words to punish the crime and punish him severely. Lin Qian has been silent about He Pinzhang's disposal, but only inquired about the situation in detail, comforted the wounded soldiers, and cleaned up the scene.

Seeing that Guo Zijian couldn't suppress his anger in front of Lin Qian, and Lin Qian's face couldn't see the joy and anger and couldn't guess, Su Jiayuan's old ministers who still supported He Pinzhang were all silent, but Yuan Ruo was rarely calm, and was the first to kneel down and beg Lin Qian: "General Guo, please calm your anger, General Guo misunderstood!" Lord, please listen to me, Yuan Ruo is willing to vouch with his life, He Pinzhang has been watched by me since he was a child, and he is definitely not insidious and cunning like Su Muzi! It may indeed be a little unreasonable, but it can definitely be influenced!" Lin Qian stared at him for a long time, but Yuan Ruo still looked up at him, The eyes are determined.

Gu Tingxian has been paying attention to Guo Zijian's demeanor, and at this moment, he came to his senses and immediately helped Yuan Ruo calm down the anger: "He Pinzhang is indeed wrong, but no one died tonight, which is always a blessing in misfortune." In fact, Gu Tingxian understood in his heart that He Pinzhang did this tonight, for Guo Zijian, Yu Ruijie and others, it was the last straw that crushed the camel, and the incident itself was not particularly strict, but the fault was that this matter was superimposed on the past resentment, which could only add fuel to the fire.

"That's right, there are many good things, now the official army and the righteous army are almost completely unified, General Guo and the lord, don't affect the previous one because of this small setback, everyone has been working together these days, and you can't just give up when you see that you are about to succeed!" Yang Zhixin said.

"Think twice, lord!" "Please give General He another chance!" The old ministers of the Soviet army pleaded one after another, and their voices came and went.

Okay, it's good to have two opinions, Lin Qian would rather be restrained left and right, and he also needs to have time to think twice and weigh the weight.

In fact, Liu Gan's pain, Yu Ruijie's anger, Guo Zijian's remorse, Yuan Ruo's tolerance, Gu Tingxian's happiness, Yang Zhixin's sobriety, Lin Qian all have it, as the commander-in-chief, he must give a reasonable judgment that everyone can convinc, which really takes time: "It is imperative to capture him and Su Muzi together." ”

However, it is useless for someone to forgive, and Lin Qian's thinking twice is not fundamental, the premise is He Pinzhang's own attitude, which Lin Qian knows and Cao Xuan also understands. At that time, Yu Ruijie sent someone to report to Lin Qian, saying that he chased Su Muzi He Pinzhang and fought with those people, Cao Xuan immediately asked for orders: "Lord, I'll bring them back!"

"I'll go too!" Mu Xun tightly grabbed Cao Xuan's sleeve.

However, it was said that He Pinzhang's success in robbing the prison was like a bamboo, and Su Muzi had another chance to be reborn, and he was overjoyed, but after all, the east and west of Jingning were all under the jurisdiction of Lin Qian, and he could not breathe, so he could only flee to the north in one breath, hoping to seek a future after escaping.

However, although Guo Zijian's deputy general Liu Qian was seriously injured, the other Yu Ruijie was intact and pursued desperately. He Pinzhang knew in his heart that Guo Zijian had four fierce generals around him, talking about Yuan Ruo, Geng Zhi and them, and now, three of them had enemies with him...... Thinking of it, it is inevitable that it will be sour, but I can be shocked suddenly, what is so sour!

The chasing soldiers are approaching, it is inevitable that there will be a fierce battle, He Pinzhang immediately rode his horse and slashed his knife, fought for Su Muzi's palace, and Yu Ruijie, seeing that Yu Ruijie was too powerful, Su Muzi did not dare to stay for a long time, and left He Pinzhang to roll and climb in a panic and did not choose the road, He Pinzhang did not mind, but was willing to do it.

After a long fierce battle, He Pinzhang, who had successfully dragged Yu Ruijie and thought that Su Muzi was already safe, knew that Yu Ruijie must have reinforcements behind, so he no longer fell in love with the battle and quickly withdrew, and after a false move, a burst of smoke, he and several other palace elites were wiped out at the same time.

Yu Ruijie didn't expect him to suddenly run away at the moment of fierce fighting, he was shocked, and stayed for a moment before shouting: "Chase!" He was also blinded by anger for a while, and lost his ordinary combat level.

slowed down, but the reinforcements behind rushed over, and it was Cao Xuan who led an elite. "Alas, General Cao, it would be good if you could come a little earlier. Yu Ruijie secretly sighed that He Pinzhang's judgment of the situation was so skillful.

"They?" Cao Xuan looked at where Yu Ruijie stayed, there were two forks in the road, one was full of horseshoe prints and messy, and the other was clean and had no traces of walking.

"It's here that I lost their trace!" Yu Ruijie was sweating profusely, and his face was flushed.

"So our soldiers pursued them in two directions, and whoever could find them sent this signal to them. "Time is pressing, without further ado, Cao Xuan immediately built yì. (To be continued......)
