a long song

One.

The land of Bashu is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round.It was a cloudy day, as usual.

On the execution ground, a captain looked up at the sky and said: "It's already noon, let's execute the execution first, and report to him when Mr. Teng comes."

On the ground in front of him, there were a row of people kneeling and tied behind their hands. Counting them, there were thirteen of them. They were all men with disheveled faces and dejected faces. Only the last one bowed his head. He could not see his face clearly. Seeing that he is tall, with a straight back, he is a bit taller than others even when he is kneeling.

The executioner was also unambiguous, raised the knife, said "offended", and then raised the knife to chop off one by one.For a moment, blood splashed everywhere, and the black head rolled to the ground, revealing a ferocious face, causing the kneeling person beside him to turn pale instantly.Before he had time to think any deeper, the blood-dripping sword had already moved to his neck, he raised the sword and dropped it, his eyes were still protruding, and his life was lost to Xitian.When they came down one by one, the people beside them were too scared to look down, but the person who lowered his head at the end raised his head.

On the road far away, there was the dull sound of hooves.Several captains looked over, and it turned out that it was Duke Teng who came over.

At this time, the executioner had killed the last one, he looked at the kneeling man, feeling a little pity in his heart.This is a young man who has only reached the crown for two or three years. When he was tied up, he was the chief of the twelve old men in front, and he was Lian Ao.Probably he was really young, and he couldn't control the veteran's attitude. A few people there committed crimes, and even sentenced him to come in.

Still so young and not bad looking.The jerk was thinking like this in his palm, but his hand was unambiguous. He was about to lift the knife, when suddenly he heard the people below shout loudly: "Didn't the king of Han want to rule the world? Why did he kill the strong man?"

Xia Houying had fastened his horse early and was walking this way.This was just an ordinary execution, and it was an incident in his busy schedule, so logically speaking, it shouldn't arouse his interest.Unexpectedly, his eyes only glanced casually, and suddenly he met the eyes of the prisoner on the opposite side. Under the two sides, before he had time to think about why he was attracted, he saw the prisoner with bright eyes and shouted this sentence loudly.

This sound was like thunder, Xia Houying was shocked all over, and immediately said loudly: "Wait a minute, keep people under the sword!" The captains and executioners looked a little puzzled and panicked when they heard this, but they didn't say much.Several people came forward with knowledge and hurriedly untied the rope behind the prisoner, sent him to Duke Teng, and let him take him away.

Xia Houying looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression while walking.The King of Han was disliked by Xiang Yu, so he moved far away to the barren lands of Bashu and Hanzhong, and the Sanqin was guarded by powerful generals such as Nazhang Han.What's more, the King of Han burned down the plank roads in the Qinling Mountains to show his weakness to the outside world. Although this was intended to hide his strength and bide his time, and plot to make a comeback, the truth of this is beyond the understanding of ordinary soldiers.Since the burning of the plank road, the morale of the soldiers has been low, and people's hearts have returned. There are not many soldiers who risked their lives in the dark and crossed the mountains to return home.Even Xia Houying himself, although he also accepted the fact that the plank road was gone, he still couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, thinking that Mr. Zhang was a wise man, and he was bound to make mistakes, so he finally gave a bad idea.It was a few days ago that Lao Xiao held his ear and talked to him a lot before he was completely pulled over.

It never occurred to me that there are such people at the bottom of the army, and they can explain their intentions in one sentence.Xia Houying carefully looked at the young man who followed him into the inner room. He was tall and tall, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and almond eyes, and regular facial features.He is a very energetic young man, Xia Houying thought, and said:

"What's your name?"

"Go back to Duke Teng, my name is Han Xin."

two,

Han Xingang has gone through a life and death catastrophe.Although he seized the right time to speak to Mr. Teng on purpose, the sense of unreality after his narrow escape still surrounded him, as if he was stepping on a cloud, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.He could still feel his hands trembling slightly when he followed Mr. Teng with his mind free.

Han Xin thought of Zhang Liang for no reason.

13 years ago, how did Zhang Liang feel when facing the Dasuo World Ten Days that finally came to an end?Will you be as scared as he is?Will you be overjoyed in your heart?Or put on a mask-like smile early on?He had just reached the crown at that time, so he must have looked fresher and more like a girl than now. No one would have imagined that such a character would assassinate the King of Qin. Maybe everyone thought he was a girl and didn't suspect him...

It wasn't until the wide-mouthed Teng Gong in front of him asked himself a question that Han Xin suddenly woke up.He shook off the complicated thoughts in his mind, and began to answer calmly.He analyzed the situation in Bashu Hanzhong at this time, and explained Zhang Liang's strategy with the King of Han.Teng Gong listened with gusto, applauded again and again, said a few times, "I never thought of encountering treasures on the road", and "can be a general", he promised Han Xin that he must do everything possible to recommend him to the King of Han.

Han Xin was naturally happy.He had been waiting for such a moment when he came out of Huaiyin City. He was transferred from King Xiang's tent to King Han's army. He had been waiting for a long time, and he was almost beheaded at the last moment. The sudden ecstasy almost drowned his heart.

Xia Houying patted Han Xin on the shoulder and said, "I'm going to introduce you to the King of Han right now, you just wait here for my good news!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and went out with a smile on his face.

three.

A carriage was traveling on Yangdi's official road, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated gatehouse.

A lot of weeds have grown on the official road, among the weeds and vines, many foxes and rabbits appear.Everywhere you look, there are dilapidated houses.

When Zhang Liang got off the carriage, he saw such a scene.

This was once the hometown that haunted him, for which he dedicated his youthful love and youthful loyalty, even with the lives of several friends, he failed to avenge the hatred of this country.The courtyard he used to run in when he was young, the prime minister’s mansion he lived in for 20 years, and the palace he longed for back then, after the catastrophe of subjugation, Chen Sheng’s rebellion, and the fires of war where you came and went, are now all ruins. .

Zhang Liang helped up a broken wall, his usual smile had long since disappeared, his face was calm, but there was a little moving crack in his hazel eyes.

Seeing this, He Yi softly called out, "Sir."

Zhang Liang's eyes became clear in an instant, like a wave hitting the shore, and everything disappeared afterwards.He looked around, frowned and said: "I have communicated with King Han in advance, saying that I will be back in this period of time. Why is there no one who comes to check now? And..." This capital city is too desolate, even if it is dilapidated , It is not that there is no human voice at all.

What is going on?Could it be that Han Wangcheng never came back to Yangdi?

A "squeak" sounded not far away.Everyone looked back, only to see an elderly man walking out of a dilapidated hut next to the prime minister's mansion.

The man was as skinny as a stick, staring at Zhang Liang tremblingly walking over with a pair of muddy eyes, and said, "Is it Master Situ Zhang Liang?"

Zhang Liang stepped forward to catch his body that was about to fall, and calmly said, "I am."

"This subordinate has been waiting for Your Excellency at the door for many days. If it is a few days later, I am afraid that this subordinate will not be able to see Your Excellency..."

"Are you sick?"

"No, my subordinate...the subordinate has been out of food for three days, and today he killed a mouse and is cooking soup..."

Zhang Liang asked He Yi to give him some dry food.The old man ate and stopped for a long time, and drank a few sips of water before he had the strength to speak, saying:

"King Han was taken away by King Xiang."

It turned out that King Han and other princes from all walks of life were summoned to the theater by King Xiang.Because of his lack of military exploits, he was not crowned king.When the overlord of Western Chu was about to return to Pengcheng in the east, he ordered King Han to go with the army.When it was almost time to reach Yangdi, King Han went to bid farewell to Overlord, Xiang Yu not only did not see him, but sent a message to him, telling him to continue to follow the big team without any mistakes.King Han couldn't figure out why?He didn't dare not leave, he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't know how to respond.In a hurry, he sent a messenger to invite Zhang Liang back day and night.At that time, Peigong borrowed Zhang Liang from him to send him west to enter the pass.Now that the pass has been entered, Zhang Liang should have returned it long ago.After the messenger left, Han Wangcheng sent another person to wait in Yangdi, telling him to wait for Zhang Liang no matter what, and told Zhang Liang to go to Pengcheng to find him as soon as possible after arriving in Yangdi.

After bidding farewell to the messenger, He Yi asked Zhang Liang, "Are you really going to Pengcheng, sir?"

"Do I have any other choice?" Zhang Liang didn't look at him, his eyes were distant.

"Subordinates see that Xiang Yu brought Han Wangcheng to Pengcheng, probably for the sake of my husband, how can I fall into the trap of myself? Why don't you just go west here, King of Han..."

Zhang Liang's eyes swept over.

He Yi closed his mouth, bowed his head and made no sound.

Zhang Liang looked at him for a while, with no emotion on his face, he just said: "This is the end of the matter, I have to go and have a look. Besides..."

He Yi looked up at him, only to see that his eyes were empty, and he muttered to himself: "...There must be a reason."

He Yi didn't ask him why, his husband has always been right-minded and good-minded, all he has to do is obey him, even if he is in a dangerous situation, he will go all out to save his husband and keep him safe. His husband is safe and sound.Thinking up to this point, He Yi respectfully said: "Then this subordinate is going to prepare for the master now. I wonder when the master will leave?"

"No hurry, before that, I have to go to a place first." Zhang Liang said, and there was a gentle smile on his face.

So when He Yi followed his husband's instructions, he drove all the way to a hut that was smoking. Through the open courtyard door, he saw a child who was studying in the house and a child who was busy in front of the firewood stove. A woman who cooks with a fire.
