On the second day, the two armies faced each other again outside the city of Yinzhou as usual. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past few days, the two sides have fought dozens of battles on this plain, which is not big or small, and they have been unable to hold each other and suffer heavy losses.
Naturally, it has become a meat grinder for 10,000 people. The grass on the plains was all flattened by iron horses, and the original green color was also stained red by blood. Scattered everywhere were the severed hands and limbs of soldiers of the two countries, as well as the corpses of many war horses.
"Great Khan of Termu, there is something important I want to tell you before the war starts today, and after listening to it, please decide whether to fight or not. Seeing that the Turkic soldiers were sending cavalry to attack as soon as they came up, Prince Zhou said loudly to Telmu through a huge battlefield horn.
Immediately after that, the war drums on the opposite side beat out, and there was the sound of retreat.
The mount of the Great Khan of Termu took a step forward, came to the front army, and said with a smile: "Prince Zhou, do you think that you can't fight and are ready to surrender?"
"Great Khan of Termu, what I want to say next is a very serious matter, which is related to the national fortunes of our two countries. Prince Zhou did not understand the ridicule in the other party's words, and then roughly described the things in Li Muyan's letter.
The Great Khan of Termu was silent as he listened, only to see his brow furrowing more and more tightly.
"That's how it happened, we were all taken advantage of, this spirit king has bad intentions, we are fighting like this is in his arms, we must rein in the precipice and unite against the enemy. Prince Zhou said solemnly.
After listening to Prince Zhou's words, there was a lot of commotion in the armies of both sides.
After a long time, a continuous sneer came out of Telmu's mouth.
"Hahaha. If this is the case, then what is it? It was your citizen Xia Qingcang who killed my son, not someone else, and after I finish cleaning you up, I will naturally go to the Spirit King to settle accounts! Don't talk nonsense now, we'll see you on the battlefield. ”
Unexpectedly, Telmu reacted like this, which made Prince Zhou unexpected.
At this moment, a tall figure leaped into the middle of the two armies with a light feat.
Telmu took a closer look and said angrily: "Xia Qingcang!"
Xia Qingcang stood alone in the middle of the two armies, and the wind blew and rolled up his clothes and feet to swing in the wind.
"Termu Great Khan, one person does things and one person is responsible, Prince Hasen was killed by me, I am willing to take one life for one life, but I hope that the Great Khan will not think about others but also for his own subordinates and his own people, and will not give his life in vain to become someone else's pawn. Xia Qingcang's face was flat, he looked around in all directions, and when he saw Qin Hexuan and Jing Xinyao, the past came to mind.
and Qin Hexuan's brotherhood to the rupture caused by Xia Xue's death, and to the reunion of Fenghua Mountain's sacrificial ceremony.
The youthful affection for Jing Xinyao when she was a teenager turned into a deep friendship.
His own life was quickly shown again in front of his eyes.
At this time, Jing Xinyao was about to rush towards him, but was pulled by Qin Hexuan.
Meeting Qin Hexuan's gaze, the pair of best friends and brothers did not speak, but they were worth a thousand words.
Maybe the only one who can support his decision at this moment is this brother.
The big husband has something to do and something not to do, and he can exchange his life for the peace and contentment of all the people in the world, why not?
When he pulled his eyes away and saw Princess Lingyue, the long-buried feelings in his heart finally couldn't help but burst out, but in the end they were forcibly suppressed by him.
Falling in love with a princess is a relationship that will not lead to results, not to mention that so many things have happened.
Let this love be hidden in the bottom of my heart forever, and maybe I can add some thoughts on the way to Huangquan.
I'm leaving, everyone, and thank you for being with me through the most important time of my life.
Xue'er, have you been lonely and lonely down there for so long? Don't worry, my brother will come to accompany you soon, I hope you haven't finished drinking Meng Po soup and walked across the Nai He Bridge. I want to be your brother for the rest of my life.
Xia Qingcang gathered his thoughts, exerted his internal strength, and shouted loudly at the Turkic soldiers: "It's me, Xia Qingcang, I'm sorry for you Turks, I'm sorry for the Great Khan, I know that the Turks are all true men with a clear love and hate, one person does things and one person is responsible, I owe a head debt, I will pay it alone!"
After finishing speaking, Xia Qingcang raised his right fist and hit it heavily on the head, and a gust of wind blew, Xia Qingcang slowly fell to the ground.
"Brother Xia, Brother Xia!" Princess Lingyue finally couldn't hold back her sadness, and finally broke free from Wang Wuwu's shackles and rushed towards Xia Qingcang.
Princess Lingyue burst into tears, picked up Xia Qingcang's corpse, and cried: "Brother Xia, what should I do if you die, how should I live without you!"
The scene was too shocking and completely unexpected for Telmu, but what happened next was even more jaw-dropping.
Princess Lingyue got up and said to Termu: "Great Khan, we are sorry for you, if you think that Brother Xia's life alone can't let you relieve your hatred, then plus me, it should be able to offset your anger towards us." ”
After saying that, Princess Lingyue took out a dagger from her arms and inserted it deeply into her heart.
With a happy smile on her face, she pounced on Xia Qingcang's body.
Finally, the troops on both sides exploded, but there was no order, and no one dared to act rashly.
After a long time, the Great Khan of Termu let out a long sigh and announced loudly: "Mingjin is receiving!"
Seeing the Turkic soldiers fade, Qin Hexuan and Jing Xinyao rushed to the front and rushed to the corpses of Xia Qingcang and Princess Lingyue.
Looking at the peaceful expressions of the two, Qin Hexuan shook his head and said, "Maybe this is also a relief for them." ”
The two silently picked up their corpses and withdrew with the army.
Early in the morning of the second day, someone came to report that the Turkic army on the opposite side had withdrawn overnight, but Prince Zhou and others were not happy when they heard it, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
Afraid that the corpse would rot after a long time, Qin Hexuan and the others buried the two on a hill outside Yinzhou City.
From here, you can see the great rivers and mountains behind Yinzhou, you can see the large grasslands in the Turkic direction, and you can see the battlefield where the two armies fought hard.
"Qingcang, have you seen it? The Turks have all retreated, it was your arrogance that moved them, you are our hero!" Jing Xinyao knelt in front of Xia Qingcang's tomb and said lightly.
"Lingyue, you have exchanged your life for the lives of the people in the world, you are the pride of the orchestra, you are our pride, you are the pride of the entire royal family!" Prince Zhou touched Princess Lingyue's tombstone, tears flashing in his eyes.
Qin Hexuan stood beside him, quietly looking into the distance, a touch of sunset on the horizon illuminated the earth, reflecting a large cloud red, as red as blood.
The Turkic soldiers had all disappeared, but Qin Hexuan's brows were inadvertently furrowed tighter and tighter.
