Chapter 355: The Tragic and Bleak Drum Beat
The moon is in the sky, and the night is like water.
Xiangyang City, the General's Mansion, a figure stood quietly in the attic, and it was difficult to hide the loneliness and desolation in his heart, it was the world-famous general Han Shizhong.
I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch.
He sighed at the moon and sighed with emotion.
At this time, Han Yi walked up to the attic, stood side by side with Han Shizhong, and said softly: "Father, Master Zong is gone. ”
Han Shizhong just hummed softly.
Han Yi couldn't help but ask, "I don't know why Lord Zong is here to make my father so sentimental?"
Han Shizhong said lightly: "The emperor ordered me to clear the remnants of the Yue family's army. ”
Han Yi's face changed greatly, and he muttered: "But Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and the others provoked it?"
Han Shizhong smiled bitterly: "Since the incident in the Storm Pavilion, as long as it involves the Yue family's army, Qin Hui has kept silent. Come to think of it, this time it should be Zhang Jun's proposal, and the emperor will push the boat down the river. ”
Han Yi was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "As long as the Yue family army is here, the Jin army will be afraid of three points, why is the emperor so confused?"
Han Shizhong shook his head and said slowly: "Today, Mongolia is rising rapidly and has the potential to sweep the world. The Jin State bore the brunt of the attack, and it was still too busy to take care of itself, so how could it go south to invade the Song Dynasty? At this time, the Yue family army was just a piece of the emperor's heart. If someone is willing to risk the world's disapproval, how can he not push the boat along the water?" Speaking of this, he sighed lightly and continued: "What's more, this matter kills two birds with one stone, why not do it?"
Han Yi's expression was gloomy and he muttered, "Kill two birds with one stone?"
Han Shizhong said lightly: "Once I am ordered to clear the Yue family's army, my prestige in the army will inevitably plummet, and I can only resign and go into hiding." In this way, the emperor got rid of another heart disease. ”
Han Yi only felt a chill welling up in his heart, and asked casually, "Then what is my father's plan?"
Han Shizhong said lightly: "Sai Weng lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing?"
Three days later, the autumn wind was bleak, and the sky and the earth were filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Han Shizhong personally led an army of 100,000 troops, with the young marshal Han Yi as the vanguard, mighty and mighty, with flags covering the sky, and went straight to Tongbai Mountain.
In the middle of Tongbai Mountain, in front of a wooden house, two men sit side by side on wooden stakes. The man on the left is like a crown of jade, and the man on the right is heroic, it is the two young marshals of the Yue family's army, Yue Lei and Yue Lin.
Yue Lin looked solemn and asked, "Second brother, does Han Dashuai really want to deal with my Yue family's army?"
Yue Lei sighed lightly and said slowly: "The general trend is the trend, and Han Dashuai has no choice but to do it. Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Let Han Dashuai deal with the Yue family's army, the emperor also has good intentions." ”
Yue Lin looked confused and didn't know why. However, he didn't care why Han Dashuai had to do it as a last resort, let alone how the emperor had good intentions, and asked directly: "Second brother, what should we do then?"
Yue Lei smiled lightly: "Hold your arms and wait and see what happens." ”
An army of 100,000 camped outside Tongbai Mountain.
Han Shizhong did not send scouts into the mountains to investigate, nor did he order the army to search the mountains, and for three days in a row, the troops did not move.
The soldiers were unwilling to be enemies with the Yue family's army, and only hoped to turn the war into a jade silk. To their surprise, the imperial court was indifferent. What surprised them even more was that every evening, the marshal and the young marshal would drink on the hillside, unscrupulous. They were puzzled in their hearts, but they firmly believed that the marshal's move would have a profound meaning.
Time flies.
Until the evening of the seventh day, the marshal and the young marshal were still drinking on the hillside.
The soldiers were at a loss, they didn't know why they came, and they didn't know when they would be able to return, and there were quite a few complaints in the barracks.
The sunset is full of sky, the breeze is blowing, so happy!
On the hillside, Han Yi smiled lightly: "If this continues, my father's prestige in the army will probably be ruined." ”
Han Shizhong said with a smile: "I already have the heart of resigning and going into hiding, and the prestige in this army should not be better." ”
Han Yi realized, nodded with a smile, and said casually: "I just don't know, how long do we have to wait here?"
At this moment, Han Shizhong turned his head to look at the bottom of the mountain and said lightly: "Maybe we'll see you soon." ”
Han Yi seemed to sense something, turned his head to look, and saw a young Confucian with a face like a crown of jade walking slowly from the bottom of the mountain.
A cyan robe moves with the wind, free but not ostentatious. He walked very slowly, and every movement could be seen clearly. But in an instant, he had moved forward more than ten feet, and there was not a trace of it. The gaze is as tranquil as the lake in autumn, and as soft as the drizzle in spring, and everywhere it goes, it is peaceful. It looks like he's walking, but it's more like the earth is moving. It was as if he had become one with all things in heaven and earth, without distinction from one another.
Han Yi was full of emotion in his heart. He wanted to praise the young Confucian student, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Han Shizhong smiled happily and said loudly: "It is said that the second son of the Yue family is most like Marshal Yue, but in the eyes of this handsome, it is really better than blue!"
The person who came was Yue Lei.
Before the words fell, Yue Lei had already come closer. He bowed deeply to Han Shizhong and said in a deep voice: "The little nephew has seen Uncle Han!"
Han Shizhong smiled and said, "Lei'er doesn't need to be polite, sit down and talk." ”
"Uncle Xie Han!" Yue Lei looked at Han Yi again, and said with a light smile: "Presumably this is Brother Han Yi?"
Han Yi came back to his senses at this time, quickly got up, hugged his fists and said, "Han Yi has seen Second Brother Yue!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then sat down.
Yue Lei got straight to the point and asked casually, "I don't know what Marshal Han's trip is?"
The distinction between public and private is clear, neither humble nor arrogant, and worthy of being a humble gentleman.
Han Shizhong bowed his head slightly, and sighed lightly: "There is no need for the Yue family army to exist. ”
Yue Lei was noncommittal, and asked again, "Then what?"
Han Shizhong clenched his fists slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I hope that Young Marshal Yue can disband the Yue family's army!"
Yue Lei hurriedly returned the salute and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Han spoke, even if he is a father, he can only obey his fate." Speaking of this, he sighed lightly and said slowly: "The emperor is really well-intentioned!"
"Definitely. Han Shizhong groaned slightly, and then said: "Lei'er, in fact, the emperor doesn't owe you anything to the Yue family. ”
Hearing this, Yue Lei couldn't help but be slightly stunned. However, he didn't ask, just waited quietly.
Han Shizhong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Marshal Yue is iron-clad and loyal to the country, and he is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, not to the emperor, which is the root cause of the unjust case in the Storm Pavilion. Of course, Marshal Yue, Yue Yun and Zhang Xian did die unjustly, but they also died willingly. Think about it, if the three of them don't want to die, who can put them to death?"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and continued: "It is the emperor who has made Marshal Yue, loyal to the country, a generation of famous generals, and national heroes, who will surely be famous through the ages." A song "Man Jianghong" can also be passed down forever. Marshal Yue's death was only to repay the emperor's kindness. ”
Yue Yun smiled sadly, clenched his fists and said, "Lei'er understands." I also hope that Uncle Han will give Lei'er three days!"
Han Shizhong only felt that his heart was full of mixed feelings. However, this is the last battle of his life, and there is no room for loss, not only for himself, but also for the Yue family's army. He said with a straight face: "What about Zhu Xianzhen?"
Yue Lei smiled lightly: "Yesterday, Lei'er had asked Uncle Yu to rush to Zhuxian Town. ”
Han Shizhong couldn't help laughing at himself, and sighed slightly: "The Yue family army is also tired, maybe they can live a peaceful life for more than ten years!"
Yue Lei nodded with a smile and asked casually, "I don't know what Uncle Han's plans are?"
Han Shizhong smiled lightly: "After today, I will also return to the field and live a stable life for a few years." ”
Yue Lei looked at Han Yi again and said with a light smile: "What about Brother Han?"
Han Yi said calmly: "Our Han family owes Brother Yan a big favor, I plan to go to the Chuxin Restaurant to stay and wait for him to come back." As he spoke, he filled three bowls of wine.
Han Shizhong picked up a bowl of wine and said in a deep voice: "This first bowl of wine, to the Yue family!"
Yue Lei and Han Yi did not hesitate and picked up the wine bowl.
The voice fell, and three bowls of wine were poured into the mouth, so happy!
Three bowls of wine were filled again.
Han Shizhong picked up the second bowl of wine and said with a light smile: "I have been on the battlefield all my life, and I have died nine times in my life, and it is really not easy to enjoy my old age in peace." ”
The words fell, and the three bowls of wine were drunk again.
Three bowls of wine were filled again.
Han Shizhong picked up the third bowl of wine and sighed lightly: "Say goodbye to Lei'er today, maybe it will be difficult to see each other again in this life!"
At some point, the last rays of the sunset had disappeared into the sky.
How tragic it is for heroes to be in the twilight!
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete.
Three bowls of wine were drunk again.
Unconsciously, a few drops of crystal water spilled into the wine bowl.
The next day, the autumn rain fell, and the sky and the earth were hazy.
The sound of drums has been echoing in Tongbai Mountain, tragic and desolate.
At the same time, in Zhuxian Town, the sound of drums has been echoing between heaven and earth, which is also tragic and desolate.
It is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the Yue family.
Iron bones, bloody men, all tears in the world.
And so it was, for three whole days.
In this way, the Yue family army ceased to exist.
