Chapter 228: Salvation
Just in Gao Zheng's trance, a herald entered and asked, "General, Captain Wu and Gao Lieutenant ask to meet", Gao Zheng said with vigor and said, "Let them go to the big tent to wait" Then, Gao Zheng bowed his hand, said goodbye to King Pei Shan and his wife, and went to the big tent.
"What is the matter with you, is the placement of Pei Shan City almost complete?" Gao Zheng walked up from behind him and asked.
The two of them knelt down at the same time, "Father, the child asks to take someone to Shule to rescue General Gao immediately"
When Gao Zheng heard this, his face instantly doubled several times, and then he said heavily, "Shicai's father has already asked King Pei Shan about Shule, the darling department, and it is speculated that there has been more than five months of food shortage, and you must have speculated now that this Pei Shan City is the abandoned son of the Huns, that is, the surroundings of this Pei Shan are very likely to be full of spies of the Huns, if I send you over now, there will be more people and the city of Pei Shan will be empty, and if there are fewer people, you will be in danger." A father must not be so rash!"
Gao An knelt down and said, "Father, the favorite brother is your son! At present, Pei Shan is only two hundred miles away from Shule, let me take an army of light horsemen to go! Live, the child will bring the person who loves the brother back! Die, the child will never let the favorite brother be buried in a foreign land."
Gao Zheng shouted, "You take an army forward, do you know that this is a light enemy who has ventured into you? Who is not born to a father and mother in the army you lead? Your father is the commander of an army, how can you put his soldiers in danger so easily? Do you think that your father does not want to save you? Do you think that your father does not want to save you? Really, it is really ...... The chances of the darling surviving are slim. At the end, Tie Han Gaozheng also burst into tears, and said the words that he didn't want to say.
Gao An is stupid, from childhood to adulthood, Gao Zheng is a steel-like existence, making them the pride of these sons, is a role model, it seems that no matter what disaster happened in the past, as long as they find their father, they can always solve it, although they are inevitably scolded, but they are superstitious about their father, until today, he actually saw his father say such a depressing sentence.
Gao An arched his hand and said, "Father, the child knows that the chance of survival is very small if his favorite brother is alone in Shule, but the child does not want his favorite brother to die in the desert." Since the father did not allow the child to bring the troops forward, then ......" said Gao An, taking off his armor and handing over the seal of the captain. "Then from now on, the child is no longer a member of the Han Army's Western Army, but just an elder brother who was ordered by his family to find his younger brother. Father, rest assured, the child will definitely come back with his favorite brother, whether he lives or dies."
Gao Zheng stood up and shouted, "Stand! Your mother can't bear the pain of losing a child anymore!"
Wu Xu on the side stood up and said, "Then Master Hou, please forgive Wu Xu for being rude, if it weren't for Gongzi, Wu Xu would still be in Shule City now, Wu Xu once said that he must bring reinforcements back to save them, since Wu Xu can't ask for reinforcements today, at least, let Wu Xu return to them, and his wife and children at home will be taken care of by General Lao." Second son, please put on your armor and go back to save them, it is Wu Xu's responsibility, the second son is in his prime and is in his best years, it is the time to serve the country, don't be like this"
Gao An didn't care, "I'm just looking for my brother, Mr. Wu doesn't need to say much"
As he spoke, the two of them strode out of the big tent, and their own soldiers saw that they were not wearing armor, and they were very surprised, "Lord Captain, why?"
Gao An shook his head, "At this moment, I'm not a school captain, help me prepare a horse, I'm going to Shule to find my fourth brother!"
Hearing that Gao An was going to save Shule's reinforcements at this moment, many soldiers followed behind the two, and slowly, two thousand people gathered behind them, forming a column to follow behind them.
When they walked to the city gate, Gao Zheng rode his horse in front of them, "This is going to Shule, the future is uncertain, if you regret it, it's still too late!"
Two thousand people shouted the earth-shattering slogan "No regrets!"
Wu Xu arched his hand and said, "Master Hou, this expedition, many soldiers are sighing that the festival of the son has just jumped to join, and now the son is in front of him, how can we not save it?"
Gao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, handed over the armor to the two, and didn't talk nonsense, "Come back alive!"
And on the other side of the Tianshan Mountain, Gao Pet's department is really not dead, he is really still alive, and including him, there are still twenty-six people in Shule City who are stubbornly using their willpower to carry their weak lives.
Since that time of food shortage, the days they have been without food have been incalculable, and they have been so hungry that it is difficult for everyone to even stand, but they are still persevering, holding on to the miracle of their lives.
What makes them persist to the end is completely a remnant of the dignity of the Han army, patriotic beliefs and survival instincts. As for the Han reinforcements, they don't know if they have come, and even if they do, they don't have hope that they will come, because they have been alone here for too long, and basically no one will think that they are still alive. All of them just sat on top of the city, and the next Hun attack could kill them at any time. Every day when they open their eyes and see the sun rising in the east, they all have a sigh that I am still alive. Maybe the next time you close your eyes, you won't be able to open them again. What they can do now is to wait quietly, life is like summer flowers, and death is like autumn leaves, which is their best destination.
From daytime to dusk, and then from dusk to moonrise, the bright moonlight of the Tianshan Mountains, the mountain breeze blows slightly, and you look up at the familiar bright moon. At this moment, everyone burst out with endless thoughts, not knowing what happened to their relatives and friends in their hometown? It's just that everyone is no longer able to cry, and the city is just silent.
At the same time, suddenly there was the sound of soldiers and horses in the distance, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and they entered the place indicated by the city gate. I saw an army of at least 1,000 men coming towards the city of Shule.
Gao Zhong and Shaoyuan stood above the city, and the other soldiers also struggled to stand up, showing a look of panic and determination.
One soldier asked, "General, shall we fight to the death, or shall we kill ourselves with silver swords, so as not to become captives of the Huns and sinners through the ages?"
Shaoyuan laughed, "What are you panicking about, it's a good night, it's God who is doing it for us"
Gao Zhong also said loudly, "Those who are unable to fight again can take a step to free themselves." Those who can still fight in a battle, kill the enemy in front of our battle, fight and die, and do not surrender to the Huns, so as to fulfill the covenant of life and death of our comrades."
So the twenty-six people brushed and pulled out their swords, and waited for Gao Pet's order, or solve it by themselves, or fight to the death with Gao Pet.
At this critical moment, an unknown army under the city came, and Gao Zhong was familiar with the cry, "I am Wu Xu (Gao An), the captain of the Han Dynasty, is there any brother from my Han family in the city?"
Yes, no matter how far away you are, the Han army will never casually abandon any soldier who fights for the country.
