Chapter 774: Farewell to Life and Death (I)

As the night deepened, and after the tangled military meeting, Zhao Zichuan went straight back to his camp......

Along the way, Zhao Zichuan's mood has been calm, although he said that he proposed the strategy of "attracting Wuliang Toduo" and would find another way, but when Zhao Zichuan left, he seemed to have made up his mind - at that moment, no one knew what choice he made......

When he returned to the camp tent and lifted the curtain, a familiar and bleak atmosphere came to his heart -- in front of the incense case, the spiritual seats of his deceased wife and deceased brother were neatly placed, and he looked squarely in front of him, and with the wisps of cigarette smoke drifting away, the smell was refreshing to the bottom of people's hearts, and he evoked painful memories; his son An An was lying quietly in the cradle, but the expression on his face was slightly sad, and the death of his own mother was undoubtedly the sorrow of life for a child born in troubled times......

The only difference is that Yang Xiaofei, his wife's personal guard before her death, has not slept at night, and is still praying sincerely in front of the incense case, praying for the soul of the deceased......

"Xiaofei?" Zhao Zichuan returned to the camp to see him, afraid of waking up his son in his sleep, and asked softly, "It's so late, aren't you resting?"

"General Zhao is back......" Yang Xiaofei turned his head and smiled lightly, then walked up to him and whispered, "I am incense for my wife's spiritual seat, after all, my wife was killed, and there are also ...... of my dereliction of duty" Speaking of this, Yang Xiaofei couldn't help but bow his head and blame himself.

"No, it's not your fault...... If you want to blame, blame that guy Wuliang Todo......" Thinking of his wife dying at the hands of the enemy, Zhao Zichuan couldn't help but clench his fists with resentment.

"How's the situation at the meeting?" Yang Xiaofei was afraid that mentioning more would arouse Zhao Zichuan's sadness, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "General Zhao, isn't it tonight to discuss countermeasures for the Battle of Bianliang......

Zhao Zichuan said with a calm expression: "Wuliang Tuoduo mobilized 20,000 reinforcements from Luoyang to support Bianliang...... If you want to capture Bianliang with the vanguard army, the only way at present is to mobilize a small number of troops to divert the direction of the 'Ghost Gate Cliff', and the attention of the Wuliang Tuoduo army to buy time for the crusade against Bianliang......"

"So this is the solution...... Is it done?" Yang Xiaofei continued.

Zhao Zichuan shook his head lightly, but then said: "Sister Jing disagrees, but this does not affect ...... 'Ghost Gate Cliff' and his party, no matter who goes, it will be a mortal trip...... I have decided that there is no one but me in the task of supporting Uliang Todo—"

"Mortal Walk...... Aren't you, General Zhao?" Yang Xiaofei seemed to realize something, and asked worriedly.

"This is my fate, and it is also my decision, no one can change it......" Zhao Zichuan's voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm, "Early tomorrow morning, I will bid farewell to Brother Tang Zhan and Sister Jing...... Xiaofei, maybe it's the last time I asked you before I died, can you promise me one thing?"

"What...... What is the matter?" Hearing that it was "the last time", Yang Xiaofei suddenly felt that the matter was extremely serious, and couldn't help but ask nervously.

"Before he died, Yuru instructed me, no matter whether this battle is life or death, I must also protect An An's life, let him stay away from the war, away from the hustle and bustle, and grow up peacefully......" Zhao Zichuan looked at his sleeping son in the cradle, and said calmly, "If I fight with Wuliang Tuoduo, I will definitely die for life, if I can't come back alive, Xiaofei, An An will be taken care of by you...... If the war is over and the news of my death is reported back to the camp, you take An An out of here and don't tell anyone, including Tang Zhan and Jing Mei, their ......"

"This ...... Why is that?" Yang Xiaofei asked uneasily.

"Tang Zhan brothers and Jing sisters, they have come and gone in the wind and rain in this life, either in the hustle and bustle of the rivers and lakes, or through battlefield battles...... I promised Yuru that I would not let our son go through these dangers again......" Zhao Zichuan said solemnly, "So if I die, you will quietly leave the barracks with An An, go to a place where there is no strife and noise, change his name and surname, let him grow up and live in peace, and live a good life, and don't tell me that Yuru is his parents' background......"

"General Zhao......" Hearing this, Yang Xiaofei seemed to have a sour feeling in his heart, looking at Zhao Zichuan, and then looking back at An An, with contradictions and entanglements in his heart.

"As for Tang Zhan's brothers and sister Jing, I will leave them a letter before leaving, so that they can give up looking for An An's whereabouts......" Zhao Zichuan finally said, closed his eyes with a slight smile, and gently patted Yang Xiaofei's shoulder and said, "Xiaofei, I, Zhao Zichuan, have a short career as a horseman, conquer the north and south, fulfill the wishes of my ancestors, and fly the gods to the epicenter of the Central Plains...... It's a pity, after you followed me, I didn't take you to victory, now think about it, my name of 'Flying Rider God General', in your opinion, I'm afraid it's a bit funny......"

Yang Xiaofei listened, shook his head vigorously and said: "No, General Zhao will always be a big hero in my heart, and I can be with General Zhao in this life, even if I don't fight a battle, I, Yang Xiaofei, will be glorious and have no regrets!"

Zhao Zichuan smiled and continued: "Hmph, I didn't expect that I, Zhao Zichuan, would still be praised by you even if I didn't have a war horse, I really don't know whether to be happy or ashamed...... However, this time it will be the last task, I will hand over my son and Yuru to you, you must complete it well......" After speaking, Zhao Zichuan patted Yang Xiaofei on the back.

"Don't worry, General Zhao, I, Yang Xiaofei, will definitely live up to my mission......" The last order before "dying", Yang Xiaofei solemnly agreed, but he couldn't suppress the tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth and responded......

Zhao Zichuan nodded with satisfaction, his expression was indifferent, and he seemed to have looked down on life and death......

Sleepless nights go by......

The next morning......

At the main camp, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing made military decisions in the camp early in the morning, and now that the reinforcements of Wuliang Tuoduo are getting closer and closer, the battle of Bianliang cannot be delayed, and the final strategic decision must be made no matter what.

But now it seems that after a night, it seems that Lu Jing has not been able to come up with any good plans. Before the meeting ended last night, Zhao Zichuan said that he would definitely come up with the best of both worlds today, so under the embarrassment of the situation, Lu Jing also put the bet on Zhao Zichuan, and continued to consider countermeasures early in the morning, while waiting for Zhao Zichuan's news......

However, Lu Jing seemed to be a little upset, and she didn't sleep well, often looking at the map on the table for a long time, and then she was in an impatient mood, shaking the long whip in her hand from time to time.

"Jing'er ......" Looking at Lu Jing's hesitant and painful expression, Tang Zhan comforted on the side, "Don't be too anxious, Wuliang Tuoduo reinforcements have not arrived, and now it seems that we still have an advantage in military affairs......"

"No...... No......" However, as if his head was exploding, Lu Jing closed her eyes in pain, and the mission shook her head and said, "I can't think of it, I can't think of a plan...... Reinforcements from the Uliang Thodo were coming, and they had to stop him or let their own people go to their deaths...... I really can't think of it......" In the emotional chaos, Lu Jing was about to cry.

"Brother Zichuan has said that he will come up with a solution...... Tang Zhan continued, "We have to believe him-Jing'er, your heart is too chaotic now, and you can't calm down at all...... It's really not good, wait for the news of Brother Zichuan, Jing'er, you can rest first......"

"But time is getting tighter and tighter, if it drags on like this......" Lu Jing said in a panic......

"Report-" At the critical moment, the paging of the news outside the tent was like a life-saving straw, and the soldier rushed to say, "Report to the general, the military division, General Zhao said that in the first battle of Bianliang, he had a good strategy to break the enemy, and ordered General Tang and the military division to go to his tent for a while!"

Tang Zhan heard this, and said happily: "Great-Jing'er, what do you see me talking about? Brother Zichuan will definitely have a way!"

However, Lu Jing didn't seem so happy, but subconsciously asked: "Wait, he has a good plan, why didn't he come himself, but let the two of us go to his camp?"

"Whatever—" Tang Zhan didn't care at all, and said with complete trust, "What are you worried about your own people? It may be some top-secret method, and you can't let everyone know about it for the time being...... After all, military decision-making, many times, is not completely open to everyone because of the needs of the war situation......"

Tang Zhan said it was not completely unreasonable, although Lu Jing was puzzled, but now he was upset and distracted, and he didn't have time to think so much - the war was urgent, since Zhao Zichuan said that there was a good way to break the enemy, he still decided to go with Tang Zhan for a while.

So Lu Jing nodded, and couldn't wait to accompany Tang Zhan and walk in the direction of Zhao Zichuan's camp......

Xiao Tian Tent......

"Whew-" The cold light flashed, and in front of the case, Xiao Tian unsheathed the Mingmeng iron sword slightly, and the sword light reflected his face, his eyes were extremely firm, and he seemed to secretly swear his determination to die......

Immediately, Xiao Tian raised his head and turned to look at Su Jia, who had been waiting in the audience for a long time - Su Jia was dressed in silver armor, and her face was radiant, as if she had made up her mind like Xiao Tian, and her expression was indifferent.

"Are you ready?" Su Jia raised her head and looked at Xiao Tian's determined eyes, and asked with a slight smile.

The corners of Xiao Tian's mouth raised slightly, and he responded: "Well, let's go, Jia'er-"

Su Jia nodded, and then stood shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Tian, and said that they would find Lu Jing together to ask the "Ghost Gate Cliff" to die, and the two left the camp gate without regret......

Zhao Zichuan's tent ......

Before the camp gate, today's atmosphere was different, not only Zhao Zichuan's cronies and soldiers, Li Xian, Li Gong and others were dressed in sword armor, but the cavalry soldiers were even neatly arrayed, making a trip that seemed to be going to the battle, and they were waiting for it strictly.

The cold wind swept by, the faces of the soldiers were full of energy, the war horses were crying in groups, and a sense of slaughter and death hit the face. Tang Zhan and Lu Jing walked slowly, passing through the center of the righteous path, and they also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, they were full of expectation, but now they were also a little inexplicably worried......

"The atmosphere is ...... Why doesn't it feel right?" Tang Zhan leaned into Lu Jing's ear and couldn't help but say softly.

Lu Jing didn't speak, but just stared at the direction of the main gate of Zhao Zichuan's camp in front of her.

Tang Zhan didn't continue to ask, and glanced at Lu Jing's serious and firm eyes, Tang Zhan couldn't help but gradually realize that when they met in the camp for a while, no matter what decision Zhao Zichuan made, he would affect the overall situation of the war......

Walking to the door of the tent, the curtain was closed, Lu Jing deliberately stopped, Tang Zhan also stopped...... "Let's go in......" Suddenly, Lu Jing said in a cold tone.

"Hmm......" Tang Zhan nodded a little uncertainly, and then opened the tent with Lu Jing and walked straight in.

The atmosphere in the tent was a little solemn, only Zhao Zichuan turned his back to the two of them, offering incense in front of the spiritual seat of his deceased wife and brother, Yang Xiaofei and An An were not there - of course, the two also knew that the war discussion was bound to be serious, and the "idle people" would naturally not stay here......

"We're here......" Lu Jing said in a more indifferent tone, "Say, you called us here because you have a good plan to break the enemy?"

Zhao Zichuan didn't turn back in a hurry, bowed three times in front of his wife's spiritual seat, presented the incense, and then slowly turned around, and echoed: "That's right, I have a good plan in my heart, one is to deal with Wuliang Tuoduo, and the other is not to miss the siege strategy......"

"What kind of strategy?" Tang Zhan couldn't wait to ask.

"Don't be in a hurry...... Zhao Zichuan continued, "It's still early before noon, this strategy is very simple, and you don't need to use too much energy...... After Yuru's death, we were dull and unhappy all day long, and even our mood could not be calm, whether it was idle work on weekdays or decision-making in wartime, this was a big taboo......"

"Then what do you want?" Lu Jing continued to ask expressionlessly.

"My master told me that if you can't calm down, put a stick of incense in front of the deceased...... "Zhao Zichuan calmly and calmly, holding the incense in his hand and said, "Although this move seems simple and meaningless, it purifies people's distractions, and this is a square move......" After speaking, Zhao Zichuan handed the incense in his hand to Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, with a smile on his expression.

"Do you want us to incense our sister-in-law?" Lu Jing said with doubts and uneasiness in her heart.

"Yes......" Seeing Lu Jing's preoccupied appearance, Zhao Zichuan responded with a smile while continuing to mention, "Sister Jing, you see that you are always suspicious of everything you do, and even more so after Yuru's death...... Now in front of my friend, I also make a look of suspicion and suspicion, isn't this just the confusion in my heart? The more this is the case, the more I can't calm down; and now the war is critical, and being upset and in the war situation is a big taboo, and you should know better than anyone else......

"Well......" Lu Jing listened, as if she had been told the point by Zhao Zichuan, her expression was slightly depressed, and she lowered her head silently.

"And Brother Tang Zhan......" Zhao Zichuan continued to say calmly to Tang Zhan, "My master should have also told you, 'Shangxiang is peaceful'......"

"Ah......" Tang Zhan nodded, remembering that in Bianliang, Master Xuankong let himself be incense, and couldn't help recalling, "Master Xuankong told me that if there is boredom in your heart, it is better to put aside all distractions, empty your mood, and put on a stick of incense religiously, and the unnecessary clutter in your heart should be dissipated, and the peace of mind ......."

"So that's it, you're just like me, let's put on a stick of incense for the jade......" Zhao Zichuan smiled slightly, continued to hold the incense, and beckoned to Tang Zhan and Lu Jing.

"What you said is very reasonable, the proverbs of Master Xuankong's predecessors are undeniable......" Lu Jing undeniably mentioned it, but then pulled back to the topic, "But the matter is important at the moment, what you are talking about now has nothing to do with the battle situation at all......

"Who said it doesn't matter?" Zhao Zichuan asked with a smile.

"That's a good ......," Lu Jing continued, "The fool and I came to you on purpose when we heard that you had a good plan to break the enemy...... What we want to listen to is your decision-making scheme, not incense for your dead sister-in-law...... Of course, when we say this, it's not that we don't care about my sister-in-law......"

"I'll tell you ...... last stick of incense" Zhao Zichuan still didn't show his expression, and said calmly with a smile.

Although Lu Jing couldn't understand what Zhao Zichuan meant by this, he could see that no matter what Zhao Zichuan's purpose was, what he wanted to do next must be very firm, and no one could change it......

"Jing'er......" Tang Zhan turned his head to look at Lu Jing and gestured to him.

Lu Jing thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision...... "Okay, I promise you......" Lu Jing inserted her hands and said, "I and the fool will incense my sister-in-law, and you will tell us the best way to break the enemy......"

"Of course......" Zhao Zichuan said with an unchanged smile.

Tang Zhan and Lu Jing made a gesture with their eyes, and then stepped forward to take the incense in Zhao Zichuan's hand......

At the main camp gate......

Xiao Tian and Su Jia asked for orders to find Lu Jing, and the two came here together. However, when they entered the camp tent, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, who were supposed to discuss countermeasures in the tent, were not there at the same time, which made Xiao Su and the others, who had made up their minds, suddenly at a loss......

"It's strange, Sister Jing isn't here,......" Xiao Tian couldn't help but sigh...... (To be continued.) )
