"Aren't Brother Huaiwen ready?" Cao Jingzong asked strangely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I think that when the fire burned Chibi, Zhuge Kongming still had a long time to borrow the east wind, I Wei Rui did not have Zhuge Kongming's advanced knowledge of astronomy and geography, this east wind could not be borrowed, but I still have to wait for God to open his eyes and give me what I want. Wei Rui sighed, if there is no help from this day at that time, I am afraid that this matter will not be possible.
"Brother Huaiwen, you are a person---- you are good everywhere, but there is one thing I can't appreciate: you can calm down too much in case of trouble. I've got this fire up, you're good there, and the smoke doesn't come ----out," Cao Jingzong said dissatisfiedly.
Wei Rui smiled slightly: "Jingzong is not in a hurry, you and I must wait for one person to come back at this time, and when he comes back, he will naturally arrange everything for me." ”
Cao Jingzong had a wicked smile on his face: "Are you waiting for Fan Jun?"
Wei Rui couldn't imagine that Cao Jingzong could guess what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but nodded appreciatively: "Yes, I'm just waiting for Fan Jun's arrival." ”
"Listening to Feng Taishou, Fan Jun is guarding the city in Nanliang at this time, and I am afraid that it will take some time for him to come. ”
Wei Rui shook his head: "He has already left Nanliang yesterday, and Sima Huluo has been stationed in Nanliang at this time. ”
Cao Jingzong asked puzzledly, "Then where is Fan Jun now?"
"I sent him to Hefei. ”
"Went to Hefei? Wouldn't that be farther, then how could he come in time --- then?"
Wei Rui was also a little worried at this time, if Fan Jun couldn't come from Hefei in time, he was afraid that it would really delay the hour.
"He'll be here in two hours. Before Wei Rui's words fell, Li Zhong hurriedly broke in: "General, the dozens of big ships that Fan Jun brought from Hefei have been parked neatly in the Honghe River south of the barracks. ”
Wei Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't expect Fan Jun to come to the army two hours early, which was really a blessing.
He was happy and happy, and then he remembered that he sent Li Zhong to guard the prince, why did he suddenly run back, in case these six princes still wanted to escape, how would it be good?
"Why don't you take a good look at the prince, what are you doing here?" Wei Rui asked with a sinking face.
"This ---- general, I was very happy when I saw the ship, and hurriedly ran over, the general rest assured, this battle is not over, I will definitely not leave the prince half a step. Li Zhong also realized that he was derelict in his duties, and hurriedly turned around and ran away.
At this time, Fan Jun happened to step into the big tent of the Chinese army, and almost collided with Li Zhong, he looked at Li Zhong who was running out in a hurry, he didn't know what mistake this general had made, and ran out desperately, for fear that Wei Rui would call him back to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
"General Wei, General Cao, the last general is back. Fan Jun saw that the two generals were standing in the big tent, with a look of anticipation on their faces, and he hurriedly replied.
"Fan Jun, have you brought all the warships in Hefei?" Wei Rui asked uneasily.
"Back to General Wei, the last general has already brought all the ships, just wait for the general to arrange, we can go and rescue Zhongli. Fan Jun had been running around for days, looking extremely tired at this time, but when he thought of the upcoming battle, his heart was excited.
Wei Rui nodded and said, "You have worked hard these days, go down to rest first, and I will send someone to inform you then." ”
After Fan Jun said goodbye to the two generals, he left the big tent of the Chinese army, and Wei Rui's mood became heavy after seeing him leave. Cao Jingzong, who was on the side, saw the expressions of the two of them when they were talking, and probably guessed seven or eight points in his heart.
"Brother Huaiwen---- are you worried about something?" Cao Jingzong asked.
Wei Rui nodded lightly: "This child has been away from home for several years, and he doesn't know the information at home, and when this big war comes, I will never tell him these things, but once he learns about the situation at home, I'm afraid he will blame me." ”
Cao Jingzong thought of what the Fan family had encountered over the years, and he was also puzzled in his heart: "It's really strange to think about it, that Fan Yuncheng has always been known for being honest and honest since he was appointed by the emperor to be an official, and he has nothing to say about being a good person, how could he encounter these unfortunate things for no reason?"
Wei Rui was silent for a long time before answering him: "In this world, how can there be anything for no reason? I think that Fan Yuncheng must have encountered a great thing, so that the whole family will suffer this misfortune." Alas---- hope that after the war is over, this child will be able to return to his parents and help them solve their problems. Jingzong ----I have been with this child for a long time, and when I think of him leaving me, I feel very sad in my heart, if he is really my son, how good would it be?"
"Hey, Brother Huaiwen is really, you don't lack a son, this should be said, if you have a daughter, it would be good, you can recruit this Fan Jun as the noble son-in-law of the East Bed---- hahahaha!" Cao Jingzong couldn't help but make fun of Wei Rui after hearing this.
Wei Rui smiled gently, thinking that what Cao Jingzong said was not bad, if he really had a daughter, this Fan Jun would never let go, and he must be his son-in-law.
Wei Rui didn't close his eyes all night, he was worried that his calculations were not accurate enough, and the things he needed would not arrive on time. He waited anxiously in the tent alone, Cao Jingzong was very sleepy, and went to rest in other tents, Wei Rui kept walking around in the tent alone, just wanting that moment to come soon.
At the fourth watch, Wei Di, the nephew of the night of the country, broke in panting at this time: "General, general, the southeast wind is up, the southeast wind is really up." ”
Wei Rui said calmly after hearing this: "What I need is water, what is the situation of your observation of Huaishui now?"
"The water level in this part of the water I observed has risen a few points compared to yesterday, and the other two observation points have not yet come to report, so it must not be too obvious at present. Wei Di replied.
"I'll check it out right away, I need the water level of Huaishui. Wei Rui commanded.
"Yes, General, I'll go. Wei Di left in a hurry.
"The wind is up, it's finally winding. Wei Rui suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly shouted: "Come on, quickly invite Fan Jun over." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Jun stepped in from outside the tent: "General, the last general has been waiting outside the tent for a long time. ”
Wei Rui nodded appreciatively: "I didn't expect you to be ready." ”
"Just wait for the general's orders. ”
"When the time comes, you must obey my orders, and you must not disobey them. ”
"Yes!" Fan Jun hurriedly agreed.
"By the way, I'm going to give you a weapon. Wei Rui suddenly remembered something important, and hurriedly took Fan Jun's hand and came to his desk.
Wei Rui picked up the sword placed on the table and handed it to Fan Jun: "You carved a bamboo Ruyi and gave it to me, I accepted it unceremoniously, I will give you this sword today, it can be regarded as a little gift for myself." ”
Fan Jun was taken aback when he saw this sword, this sword was the sword that the current emperor Xiao Yan gave to Wei Rui, Fan Jun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly excused himself: "General, this sword is the emperor's royal sword, it was given to you by the emperor, how dare I ---- accept it?"
Wei Rui smiled faintly and said: "Why don't you dare to accept it, this sword was given to me by the emperor, then it is mine, I can give it to whoever I want, who dares to stop me?"
"It's just a weapon given to you by the emperor, such a valuable thing, Fan Jun is afraid that there will be many mistakes when he uses it----"
"Why are you so verbose today?" Wei Rui interrupted Fan Jun's words, "How can a person who is usually quite happy hesitate to hesitate here today for a sword." I said I'll give it to you, and I'll give it to you, and take it happily. ”
Fan Jun took the sword with trembling hands, he had pulled out this sword once in order to stop Xiao Hong, and now this unparalleled sword came to his hand again, he didn't know what to do.
Wei Rui sighed softly: "Since you and I met, I have this idea, I want to give you this sword---- I think when we first met, you used a halberd, you are thin but holding that halberd, it seems that you are getting weaker and weaker, this sword is in line with your body, presumably you use it, more than me." If you use it in wartime, it's more convenient for close combat. ”
Fan Jun held the sword in his hand, lowered his eyes, a few tears dripped out, it was his fifth year in the army, he didn't dare to ask about the things at home, and he couldn't ask, he fought hard in the army, there were dozens of large and small scars on his body, and he had nowhere to tell about the suffering---- now he finally saw a glimmer of light, and he understood Wei Rui's true intention of giving him this sword: I hope it can bring him good luck, let me make great achievements, and after returning to the dynasty in victory, I can return to my parents with dignity.
Wei Rui's eyes were red when he saw Fan Jun's tears, this kid rarely shed tears, no matter how much he was wronged, even if he was injured multiple times, he was unwilling to show his weak side. Today's concern for him, he must have guessed it, he has wanted to tell him about the Fan family too many times, but what is the use of telling him? He still can't rush home, all the endings that have become facts, he Fan Jun and civilians, still can't be changed.
"Jun'er, this sword is cast by the alien Gu Yishan, when he was good friends with Xiao Ziliang, the king of Jingling, among the eight friends of Jingling, and after getting acquainted with the current emperor Xiao Yan, he gave this sword to the emperor, I have always wondered why the emperor gave me this sword, until I met you, I understood that this sword neither belongs to me nor to the emperor, it is destined to be yours!" Wei Rui remembered the strange thoughts every time he saw this sword, and today he saw Fan Jun holding this sword, which was so familiar and natural, so he suddenly woke up, the person in front of him and the sword gave people such a fitting feeling, it seemed that Fan Jun was destined to be with it.
"Father-in-law, I have accepted this sword!" Fan Jun raised his red and swollen eyes: "Father-in-law's kindness to Fan Jun, Fan Jun should repay him with death!"
