Chapter 487: Breaking the Back Road
More than 80,000 pro-troops rushed to the foot of the vast mountain, it was already dusk, and the soldiers were hungry and tired, and they rushed to build a camp on the hillside, condescendingly, and set up a battle to defend it.
After the camp was settled, before the meal was made, the king of Chu had personally led the elite to the bottom of the mountain and immediately charged to the hillside. The Imperial Sergeant rained arrows and repelled the rebels. Seeing that the attack on the back was unfavorable, the Chu army immediately withdrew its troops and set up camp at the foot of the mountain.
On the evening of this day, the king of Kushan stood beside the cliff and looked south. However, seeing that the campfire in the rebel camp was like stars, and three fire dragons meandered in the distance, it was the follow-up troops of the rebels who came to participate in the siege.
The king of Kushan was gloomy, and was about to be accounted for, when the privy envoy of the northern court came to proclaim: "The 15,000 soldiers and horses under the subordinates rushed down the mountain to rebel. There is no way to govern the army, and the crime deserves death. King Kushan waved his hand, shook his head, and said, "It's not your fault, go down and rest!"
He turned his head and saw Lu Qian looking into the distance, and said, "As soon as dawn comes, the rebels will attack in a big way, and our generation will be taken prisoner." I am the king, and I cannot be dishonored by a traitor, but I should kill myself in the newspaper. Brother, you rushed out on your own in the night. You are strong in martial arts, and the rebels must stop you. ”
Speaking of this, his expression was sad, and he said: "I wanted to give you a great fortune, but I don't know that it is difficult to protect myself as a brother, but I am tired of you." ”
Lu Qian said: "Big brother, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, today's battle formation is unfavorable, I will guarantee you to retreat, recruit the old department, and Xu Tu will raise again." ”
King Kushan shook his head and said: "I can't even protect my mother's wife, how can I be a big husband? In the eyes of the Khitan people, the winner is a hero, and the loser is guilty." If I am defeated, how can I rise again? Go yourself!"
Lu Qian knew that what he said was the truth, and said angrily: "Since this is the case, then I will accompany my brother and fight to the death against the traitor tomorrow." You and I are righteous to marry Jinlan, whether you are the emperor or the people, Lu Mou will treat you as a righteous brother. If your brother is in trouble, how can you live and die with you as a brother?"
With tears in his eyes, King Kushan shook his hands and said, "Good brother, thank you so much." ”
Lu Qian returned to the tent and saw Wu Yi lying in the corner of the tent, with a pair of big round eyes, and he had not slept.
Wu Yi asked, "Brother-in-law, do you blame me?"
Lu Qianqi said: "What do you blame?"
Wu Yi said: "It's all my fault, if I didn't have to go to the prairie to play, I wouldn't be tired and you would be trapped here." Brother-in-law, we're going to die here, aren't we?"
The red light of the torches outside the tent reflected on her face, and there was a flush in the paleness, which made her even more petite and weak.
Lu Qian felt pity in his heart, and said softly, "How could I blame you? If I hadn't hurt you, we wouldn't have come here." ”
Wu Yi smiled slightly and said, "If I hadn't fired a poisonous needle at you, you wouldn't have injured me." ”
Lu Qian stretched out his big hand and stroked her hair. Wu Yi was seriously injured, and most of his hair fell out, yellow and thin.
Lu Qian sighed lightly and said, "You are young, but you suffer with me. ”
Wu Yi said: "Brother-in-law." I didn't understand why my sister liked you so much, but then I did. ”
Lu Qian thought to himself: "Your sister treats me with infinite affection, what do you little girl know." Actually, why did Wu Shuang fall in love with me, a rude man, even I don't understand, how can you know?" Thinking of this, he shook his head sadly.
Wu Yi turned his head sideways and said, "Because you treat people well wholeheartedly, I also like you like you like a sister." ”
After a pause, he said, "Brother-in-law, have you guessed why I fired a poisonous needle at you that day? I didn't want to shoot you, I just wanted you to be unable to move, and let me take care of you." ”
Lu Qianqi said: "Why?"
Wu Yi smiled and said, "If you can't move, you will never be able to leave me." Otherwise, you will look down on me in your heart, and you will abandon me at any time and ignore me. ”
Lu Qian heard that although she said childish words, she didn't know that she was talking nonsense, so she couldn't help but be secretly frightened, thinking: "Anyway, everyone will die tomorrow, just comfort her a few words." ”
said: "You really like to follow me, even if you tell me, I won't let it." ”
Wu Yi's eyes suddenly glowed with bright brilliance, and he said happily: "Brother-in-law, after I recover from my injury, I will still follow you and never return to Master Guan Shanhai." Don't leave me alone. ”
Lu Qian knew that the trouble she had caused in Guanshan Hai was really not small, and she really didn't dare to go back, so she smiled and said: "You are the senior sister of Guanshan Hai, if you don't go back, the dragons have no leader, so what's the matter?"
Wu Yige smiled and said, "Let them go and make a mess." I'm going to ignore it!"
She lowered her head and pondered, and suddenly said seriously: "Brother-in-law, I'm not afraid of going back and being punished by the master, he can kill me at most, just kill me." I am reluctant to leave you, I want to be by your side forever and ever. In your heart, you will also cherish me as you cherish Wu Shuang in the future. ”
Lu Qian knew that this was also a child's words, and besides, if he accompanied his brother-in-law to die tomorrow, what future would there be, so he couldn't bear to touch her mind at this time, so he nodded. Wu Yi's eyes lit up brightly, and he was infinitely happy.
Lu Qian pulled on the felt, covered her neck, gently pulled it for her, patted her on the back, and coaxed her to sleep peacefully. Unfold the felt and sleep in the other corner of the tent.
The fire outside the tent was extinguished from time to time, flickering uncertainly, but the crying was faintly heard, knowing that the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp missed their families, and everyone knew that the battle of tomorrow morning was difficult to protect, but everyone was loyal to the emperor and refused to betray.
The next morning, Lu Qian woke up early in the morning, instructed the captain in the room to prepare the horses, take care of Wu Yi, and finished his work, ate a pound of mutton, drank three pounds of wine, and walked to the side of the mountain.
At that time, it was still dark in all directions, and after a while, the dawn of the east first appeared, and the horn in the imperial camp whined, but it was heard sonorously, and the sound of armor and blades colliding was endless.
In the battalion, a group of soldiers and horses drove out and guarded the important places in various places. Lu Qian looked out condescendingly, only to see people surging from the east, south, and southeast, all of whom were rebels. A white mist covered the distance, and there was no end in sight.
Suddenly, the sun showed an arc on the edge of the grassland, and the golden light shot into the white mist, and the thick dew gradually disappeared, showing that the fog was also full of military horses.
Suddenly, the drums sounded loudly, and the two teams of Yellow Banner troops in the enemy formation galloped out, followed Uncle Wang and the King of Chu to the bottom of the mountain on horseback, raised the horsewhip, and pointed out and discussed on the mountain.
The king of Kushan led the guards to stand on the side of the mountain, and when he saw such a scene, he became angry, took the bow and arrow from the guards, bent the bow and arrows, and shot the arrow at the king of Chu. Looking down from the mountain, it seems that it is not far away, but in fact, there are still a few arrows away. The arrow was not halfway through before it fell with all its might.
The King of Chu laughed and shouted: "King Hushan, you have usurped the position of my father, and you have been a puppet for so many times, and it is time to give way." Hurry up and surrender, my father will spare you to die, and pretend to be benevolent and make you the prince's nephew?
These few sentences obviously satirize the king of Kushan, Feng Nida Chongyuan, as the emperor's uncle, which is hypocritical benevolence and righteousness.
King Kushan was furious and scolded: "There is no traitor, there is face and still taking advantage of his tongue. ”
