One Piece of Song Dynasty

Zhao Yun and others chased Liu Fa all night. Just before dawn, a dead man quietly came over and said, "Commander, the road ahead is Zhugu Gorge."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "How many people are there with General Liu Fa? How many Xixia troops are there chasing him around?"

The dead soldier replied in a low voice: "General Liu Fa is the only one left. We have killed only a few Xixia soldiers."

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said: "Kill the remaining Xixia soldiers and kill them quietly."

The dead man asked: "Leader, after killing the Xixia soldiers, can we reveal our identities to General Liu Fa?"

Zhao Yun waved his hand: "Wait a little longer, it's not the time yet. Even if we tell him our identity now, he may not believe it."

The dead man nodded and said: "Yes, leader, my subordinates understand."

The dead soldiers left, and soon the Xixia soldiers who were chasing Liu Fa were killed by Zhao Yun and others. At this time, a dead soldier suddenly ran over in a panic and said: "Commander, it's not good, General Liu Fa is not very good." Falling off a cliff.”

Zhao Yun's mood suddenly sank to the bottom, and he said seriously: "What happened? Let the people who ambush in Zhugu Gorge in advance go down the cliff to search. If you want to see the person alive, if you want to see the corpse, we will be there soon."

The dead man clasped his fists and said, "Yes, leader."

The dead man sent the order, and Zhao Yun quickly gathered people to rush to the scene of the incident. If Li Xin knew what happened at this time, he could only lament that Liu Fa could not escape the disaster of a broken leg. In fact, Li Xin wanted to tell him in advance Zhao Yun asked him to send people to wait under the cliff of Zhugu Gorge, but Li Xin thought for a while and decided not to say anything. He said that Zhugu Gorge could be circled, and it seemed unreasonable to say that it was under the cliff.

Liu Fa's mood at this time can be described in one sentence from later generations as being like a sunken dog. He was lying on the ground unable to move and his legs were broken. Liu Fa thought to himself: It seems that I, Liu Fa, am destined to die here after running all night. , all the soldiers were dead. Seeing that he could enter the Song Dynasty if he kept running, he unexpectedly fell off the cliff. It would have been fine if he fell off the cliff and died directly. In the end, he didn't fall to death but only broke two legs. This is better than death. It's still painful, I can't move, and the pain is unbearable, but the Xixia pursuers behind me are really good at running, and they actually chased me one night. Aren't they tired? I was so tired that I fell off the cliff.

Liu Fa lay on the ground until dawn. At this time, two Xixia logistics soldiers, one tall and one short, were passing by the cliff carrying food and saw Liu Fa. The tall man said to the short man, "There is a Song soldier there. Let's go and have a look." ."

The two of them were getting closer and closer to Liu Fa. The tall man said to the short man: "Looking at the clothes of this Song soldier, he should be an official. Let's kill him and take him back to receive the reward."

The short man nodded and said: "Okay, maybe he is still a high official. Let's kill him first."

When Liu Fa saw the two Xixia soldiers approaching him, his face was ashen. Now he had no ability to resist at all. Liu Fa slowly closed his eyes and said to the two Xixia soldiers: "Come on, let me be freed quickly."

Liu Fa closed his eyes and welcomed the coming of death. The two Xixia soldiers also raised their weapons. However, at this critical moment, two sharp arrows pierced the bodies of the two Xixia soldiers. Liu Fa closed his eyes and waited for a while, but nothing happened. When he opened his eyes, he found that two Xixia soldiers were dead, and then he saw a group of Xixia soldiers approaching him. What was going on? Liu Fa was confused. Why were the Xixia soldiers fighting among themselves? Is this to gain credit? Then Liu Fa heard a Xixia soldier say: "Fortunately, we arrived. If we were a step later, our mission would have failed."

Another Xixia soldier continued: "Yes, it's really a critical moment. If the mission fails, the leader may decide how to punish us."

Several Xixia soldiers came forward to check on Liu Fa and found that Liu Fa was not dead, but his legs were broken, so they lifted Liu Fa and found a place to hide.

Liu Fa asked: "Who are you and what are you going to do?"

Several Xixia soldiers didn't say anything. After hiding Liu Fa, they ambushed him all around.

After a while, Zhao Yun came over with people sweating profusely and asked: "How is it? Have you found General Liu Fa?"

A dead soldier replied: "We have found him. He is not dead, but his legs are broken. When we found him, we happened to see two Xixia soldiers trying to kill him, so we killed the two Xixia soldiers. ."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "As long as the person is not dead, let's go, take me to see him first."

The dead man took Zhao Yun to find Liu Fa, and Zhao Yun saw the scarred General Liu Fa.

Liu Fa asked again: "Who are you and what are you going to do?"

Zhao Yun looked around and said, "General Liu Fa has been offended. This is not the place to talk. Let's wait until we are in a safe place to discuss it in detail." After saying that, Zhao Yun winked, and before Liu Fa could say anything, a dead man came forward. Liu Fa was knocked unconscious.

Zhao Yun said to the dead man: "Take off General Liu Fa's clothes and put on the clothes of a Xixia soldier. Give General Liu Fa's clothes and his token to put on the corpse of a Song soldier brought to someone, and then put the face on the corpse." With scratches and broken legs, we put them together with the two Xixia soldiers to fake a fighting scene to see if there are any wild wolves nearby and attract the wild wolves. Then we will retreat with General Liu Fa on our backs, along the The forest is heading towards the territory of the Song Dynasty."

The dead man clasped his fists and said, "Yes, leader, my subordinates know."

After forging the scene in this way, Zhao Yun and others took Liu Fa and evacuated. After arriving at the border of Song and Xia, everyone changed Xixia's clothes and returned to the Song Dynasty. After entering the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun quickly found a doctor to help him Liu Fa temporarily treated his injury, and then continued to Yan'an Mansion with Liu Fa.

A few days later, Li Heda met Cha Ge with several corpses.

Li Heda cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this is the body of Song general Liu Fa."

Brother Cha looked at it and said, "You can no longer see the human form here, and you can't see the face either. How can you confirm it?"

Li Heda replied: "Reporting to the prince, this general's clothes are different from those of ordinary soldiers, and Liu Fa's token was found on the body. The captured Song soldiers confirmed that this token is Liu Fa's."

Brother Cha asked: "Where was the body found, and what happened to the two bodies?"

Li Heda said: "These three corpses were all found at the bottom of the Zhugu Gorge cliff. They were already in this condition when they were found. We checked at the scene and speculated that Liu Fa broke out at night and walked to the Zhugu Gorge. He even fell off a cliff and broke two legs. As a result, he ran into two soldiers of our army, and the two sides fought and died together. As for why the corpse turned out like this, I speculated that the smell of blood from the corpse attracted the wild wolves. It was caused by gnawing. On the way to Zhugu Gorge, I also found many corpses of Song soldiers and our soldiers. It should be that Liu Fa's personal soldiers had many fights with our pursuers, and our soldiers suffered casualties. Not small."

Brother Cha nodded and said: "Okay, I know everything. I will report your merits to you. Your Majesty will have your own reward. Spread this news to scare the Song army."

Li Heda knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
