Life in the Three Kingdoms
Work related
, but please get drunk.
Ever since Yuanzhi left my house by misunderstanding that time, the days have changed from being difficult at first to passing faster and faster. I had a complete falling out with Yueying and I didn’t really want to stay at home, and my study was often occupied by her, nothing happened. What I had to do was to go out frequently. I spent days and nights singing and dancing in the arena, singing and singing, and sleeves fluttering. Sometimes I drank wine and chatted casually about current affairs and heroes. Unknowingly, the name of Crouching Dragon spread like wildfire. Walk.
And later, unknowingly, Wolong's reputation for drinking like a sea also spread like wildfire.
And I seem to be getting farther and farther away from my original friends, and even Mr. Shui Jing is unwilling to take the initiative to see me again.
"Mr. Wolong, are you alright?" Master Pan's voice brought me back to the banquet.
"It's okay, I just drank too much." I made a gesture of evasion, indicating that I wanted to take a break.
However, things didn’t go as planned, Master Pan not only didn’t leave, but also called a young and beautiful girl over, brought the girl to stand shyly in front of me, and Master Pan introduced: “This is my little girl, it’s the [-]th of this year. age, it is better to let the little girl come to the venue to dance for a while, and show the husband to relieve the alcohol."
Before I had time to refuse, the girl took advantage of the situation and made a bow, saying: "Little girl Pan Yu, you are making a fool of yourself." After saying that, she swayed her golden steps slowly and stepped onto the high platform.
Master Pan motioned me to watch it carefully, and then went back to my seat contentedly.
I was the only one left with a wry smile, and I asked myself if such things happen rarely these days. Since I frequently appeared in various banquets, there are always all kinds of women around me throwing arms or throwing stones to ask for directions.The outside world knows that I married an ugly daughter-in-law, and also knows that my life after marriage seems to be unhappy, so there are always all kinds of women around me, some are beautiful, some are charming, some are full of poetry, some can sing Good at dancing, or having both ability and political integrity, or being virtuous and virtuous, but I have never brought up my interest.Just like now, no matter how well that Pan Yu dances on the high stage, it has nothing to do with me.
I know that with the passage of time, Cai's pursuit of Yuan Zhi seems to have ended without a problem. From an unnamed letter that Mr. Shui Jing received, which should be from Yuan Zhi, I learned that he is fine for the time being, but it is inconvenient to come back. Wish to come back.And whether his misunderstanding of me has been solved or not, I don't know.
Soon after the song was over, Pan Yu gracefully stepped down from the stage and came to me again: "Mr. Wolong, you're laughing."
I just nodded and didn't want to say anything.
"Sir, you didn't watch it just now, did you?" Pan Yu's voice was filled with disappointment.
"Just a little tired." I replied casually.
"Mr.'s appearance reminds me of a person."
"Oh? Who?"
"Some time ago, I participated in a banquet under the leadership of my father. Uncle Liu Huang also attended that time."
"Uncle Liu Huang? Are you talking about Liu Xuande?" During this period of time, people were talking about this Uncle Liu Huang, but I still couldn't understand how Pan Yu connected me with him, so I couldn't help asking, "Why did you see me? Will you remember him?"
"Actually, I didn't think of him, but I thought of a person who was following him, who seemed to be his military adviser. The expression of that person was the same as yours just now. He seemed to be enjoying himself at the banquet, but look carefully. I always feel that my soul is not there."
I don't know why, but I heard an inexplicable throbbing here, so I immediately asked: "What's his name? Is his surname Xu?"
"No, it's not Xu, and I can't remember what it's called." Pan Yu tried to recall but gave up.
"Oh, forget it." My tone couldn't hide my disappointment. It seems that I thought too much. Although Mr. Shui Jing told us about Liu Huangshu's character a long time ago, Yuan Zhi also expressed his willingness to follow Liu Bei's. Meaning, but in this situation, I'm afraid he can't help it.
I know that Liu Bei has been very passive lately. Although the small victories were divided in half, overall he was retreating steadily. The outside world said that his new military division is good, but after all, there are too few troops and no fixed territory. In Cao Cao Such a result is helpless under the offensive.At the recent banquet, many people mentioned Liu Bei to me, and some even persuaded me to join his camp, but now I don't have that kind of thought at all.The name of Wolong has nothing to do with me.What does this world have to do with me?
After sending Pan Yu away, people came to toast me one after another, and I felt my head getting heavier and heavier, but at this moment, I heard someone shouting "Uncle Liu Huang is here!"
It seemed that Liu Bei had arrived, and indeed I heard that Liu Bei was invited to today's banquet, but anyway, Liu Bei has always been reluctant to attend banquets, and most people did not expect him to come.On the contrary, it was this announcement that made the audience commotion for a while. Although Liu Bei's current situation is not good, when it comes to heroes in the world, Liu Bei can be regarded as a role that will be mentioned by others. Naturally, there are so many people who want to get acquainted.
Speaking of which, by accident, even though I have attended so many banquets, this is only the first time I have seen him.
Not long after the announcement, a group of people entered the lobby. I didn't get up like most people, but I was still sitting and looking at the distance with a glass of wine, and I was stunned for a while.
What I saw was not Liu Bei, but a person following behind him. I never thought that I would unexpectedly reunite with that old friend on such an occasion without warning.
"Yuan Zhi." I murmured, unable to believe my eyes, but the wine glass in my hand had already dropped quietly.
The author has something to say:
☆, reunion
As if he noticed my gaze, Yuan Zhi also looked towards me, but after just one glance, he stopped his gaze and never looked at me again.
For a while, too many people rushed towards Liu Bei's direction. The crowd prevented me from seeing Yuan Zhi, and I was unwilling, so I stood up and wobbled along with the crowd.
Walking all the way to Liu Bei is equivalent to being in front of Yuan Zhi, without the slightest courtesy, even though he knew it was wrong, he still said directly to Yuan Zhi: "Unexpectedly, I saw a long-lost old friend."
Liu Bei and the others obviously hadn't seen me, they all looked around at Yuan Zhi as far as I could see, and the expressionless Yuan Zhi reacted helplessly at this moment: "Oh, Kong Ming, long time no see .”
His tone was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, but it exploded in my heart. Just the word Kong Ming coming out of his mouth made me feel as if I had passed away.Unable to control my emotions anymore, I forced myself to ask Liu Bei rudely in a drunken state: "Can you let me and my old friend talk about the past alone?"
Although Liu Bei showed a surprised expression at my directness, he still nodded in agreement, so I didn't wait for Yuan Zhi to express his position, and I dragged him to the corridor outside the hall.
"It's almost here, what do you want to say?" Yuan Zhi asked coldly when he broke free from my hand as soon as he arrived at a slightly secluded place.
You misunderstood, or, sorry... I don't know where to start at the moment.
Seeming to see through my embarrassment, Yuan Zhi said: "You don't need to explain, no matter what the facts are, the past is in the past."
"What do you mean no matter what?"
Yuan Zhi sighed and said: "Actually, in retrospect, I don't think you really wanted to frame me to gain a powerful position. If you really wanted to frame me, it wouldn't be so obvious."
"Then you believe me, Yuan Zhi?" I couldn't help but look at Yuan Zhi in surprise, but his face was still expressionless.
"Believe it or not is not important anymore. Now that I am not Xu Shu, and you are married, what else can we talk about?"
"No! I married a wife just to lure you out. At that time, I didn't know that you killed someone. I thought your disappearance was because of what I said to you that time, so I tried every means to lure you out to see me. I and her There is no reality of husband and wife at all, and she is the one who plots against you, as long as it is your wish, I can divorce my wife at any time!"
Yuan Zhi glanced at me with a look of surprise, but when I looked carefully, I realized that he was not looking at me, but looking through me at the direction of the lobby behind me, and I followed his gaze back, looking at We arrived at a man standing not far from us outside the lobby door.
At this distance, I believe he can hear everything. The only question is when did he start standing there.
This man obviously saw us looking at him, so he took a few steps forward and said to us: "My lord is afraid that the two of you will catch the cold outside, so I asked you to go back to the hall and talk about the past slowly."
There was nothing wrong with his words and eyebrows, but when he took a few steps forward, the size of his steps did not match his tall body, so I knew he was adjusting his emotions and preparing his words. After all, he heard it, but fortunately, he didn't seem to want to get to the bottom of it.
"Understood, Zilong, let's go back now." Yuan Zhi said naturally.
It turned out that this was Zhao Yun under Liu Bei. He looked much younger than the real age rumored by the outside world, except that there was something in his eyes that was precipitated over the years.
Yuan Zhi followed Zhao Yun back to the lobby, so I had no choice but to follow in, and followed Yuan Zhi closely, waiting for him to give me a response.I've told him the truth and I thought he'd understand and go back.But soon, I discovered that this was just "I thought".
"Let me introduce to you," Liu Bei hurriedly pulled Yuan Zhi to introduce him to the other adults as soon as he saw Yuan Zhi who had returned, "This is the military advisor I recruited recently, Shan Fu."
It turns out that Liu Beixin's military adviser is you, Yuan Zhi, changed your name and surname, is it really to avoid pursuit or to avoid me?Now that he is under Liu Bei's account, it is easy to ask the Cai family to give up hunting, but he still wants to hide his name, obviously to prevent me from inquiring about him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at Yuan Zhi in frustration. He still didn't have much expression on his face, and he saluted the adults humbly. The hand holding the wine glass didn't tremble at all, and everything was calm. None of me?It seems that I no longer need to know the answer from him, so what's the point of my staying here.
Liu Bei's arrival made me less noticeable, it was time to leave, and I left quietly while no one was paying attention.
However, I don’t know whether it’s because I drank too much alcohol or because I was too preoccupied, but I walked more and more dizzy, and then my eyes went black, but before my eyes went dark, I heard a slightly immature voice Calling "My lord, are you all right?"
I don’t know how long it took, but the moment I opened my eyes, I saw a warm pillow in a tall hall. Although it wasn’t very gorgeous, it was obviously much better than my own thatched cottage. So if this is not a thatched cottage, then where is it?
"He's awake!" A childish voice that was a little familiar, I remembered, it was the last voice I heard before I passed out.
Following the sound, a young figure left my bed and ran out of the house, shouting as he ran, "Mister is awake, sir is awake!"
I don't know why, it's probably rare to see such a jumpy or even reckless person, and the mood is a little less gloomy, and I can't help but wonder how the master here has such a servant.
After waiting for not too long, the master came. Unexpectedly, he was someone I had just met, Zhao Yun, wearing a black robe without any embellishments, and the texture was not very elegant, but he looked very energetic and capable. You can see the burly figure of the general.
"How are you, sir?" The voice of greeting was very concerned, but unfortunately he belonged to Liu Bei. No matter what, Yuan Zhi followed Liu Bei, and I always felt in my heart that Liu Bei snatched him away from me. There was a deep dislike, and he didn't even have much affection for the people around him.
"It turned out to be General Zhao, thank you."
"Mister still remembers me." Zhao Yun raised his brows slightly, his face full of surprise.It seems that he also remembers me, but he doesn't know how much he remembers what I said to Yuan Zhi last night.
So I didn't answer the conversation, and was a little embarrassed for a while, but Zhao Yun said: "Bring the fire, bring the medicine."
It was the boy who saw the back just now brought the medicine over, his movements were extremely fast but his hands were extremely steady, obviously he had practiced martial arts.
I took the medicine, nodded and smiled at the boy, but saw that the boy's face turned red immediately, then he lowered his head and muttered "I still have something to do" and ran out.
Zhao Yun didn't care, he smiled and said, "This kid is just so unstable."
"His name is Yuhuo? What a special name."
"Well, he is an orphan I picked up, and I also named him. At that time, he had an older brother named Yuxue." Zhao Yun seemed to be remembering the past, his eyes were erratic and a little sad, but he quickly Came back to my senses, and smiled at me, "You actually asked about Yuhuo first, instead of asking me why you are here and how long have you been asleep?"
I also smiled, but I was very bitter. Do I really want to tell him that since I saw Yuan Zhi again, I don't care about myself anymore, life and death don't matter, and I still care about where I am.
The author has something to say:
☆, in danger
"Drink the medicine first, it's getting cold soon." Seeing that I wasn't moving, Zhao Yun urged me several times.
However, I came back to my senses not because I heard his urging, but because Yuhuo, who had just gone out, ran back again, with a solemn expression on his face, as if he was a different person from before.
"General, there is news from my lord. It seems that I have received a report from a spy. Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to lead an army to attack. Xinye is in danger."
"What?" This exclamation did not come from Zhao Yun's mouth, but from me, which surprised me. At the same time, the hand holding the medicine shook and spilled on the bed.
Zhao Yun gave me a meaningful look. There was no blame in his eyes, but a trace of pity. For some reason, seeing that look made my heart ache for no reason. It was not for him, but for the person he showed such a look to—me.
Seemingly startled by my reaction, Yuhuo didn't continue, but just looked at me curiously.
But I didn't care too much, my mind was full of Yuan Zhi, after all, as long as he was in danger, I couldn't calm down, so I immediately asked, "What's the specific situation?"
Yuhuo only answered my question after seeing Zhao Yun nodding his head to indicate that he could speak, "It is said that this time Cao Ren led [-] soldiers and came straight to Xinye. They are not reconciled, this time they are going to destroy us."
"Fifty thousand..." Zhao Yun frowned, fell into a brief thought, and then turned to look at me, "Since you have the name of Crouching Dragon, is there any way to help us get through this difficulty?"
"Why do you ask me? Don't you have a good military adviser?"
"I'm just curious, will the two of you come up with the same method?" Zhao Yun looked at me with a hint of playfulness in his eyes. I feel more and more that this person is very strange. The first time they met, they became acquainted naturally.
"I don't know why you are curious, but if you don't give me the specific situation, you want me to tell you how to do it. I can only say that the disadvantage of numbers is not so easy to reverse. The failure of strategy is always eager to make up for it with tactics. It's difficult for the strong." Regarding Zhao Yun's attitude, I could only deal with it angrily.
"Can't you predict it? The opponent's tactics, countermeasures and so on." Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and said provocatively, "I wanted to take you to Xinye, but it seems that you are mediocre. Cai, I still count on Xu Shu."
"Xu Shu? Do you know his name is Xu Shu? Don't you call him Shan Fu?"
"From the very beginning, he gave all the details. The lord also told him that he can keep him and don't need to hide his name, but he insisted that the lord should not bother him. I couldn't figure out why before, but now I finally know. Probably."
What is this, I can't help but ask myself, I feel like a joke.Where does Yuan Zhi put me, he can tell his story to anyone he just met, Liu Bei and everyone around him knew he killed someone, and he never seemed to believe me, missing from the beginning From the misunderstanding to the present, he has never said anything to me. Even if he is called Shan Fu now, I know it from other people.
But I can't restrain myself from caring about him, I still want to go to Xinye, I don't want him to be in danger alone.So I can only do what I have learned, let Zhao Yun know what I can use, and then take me there.
"When the two armies are fighting, the most important thing on the battlefield is the formation. Although the formation is ever-changing, it remains the same. I have compiled several main types and various forms that have evolved into books, but there are too many books. You can't take it, and you can't search for a way to break the formation on the spot, and all of this is in my mind, as long as I am in front of the formation, at least you will not lose in this quarter."
Zhao Yun stared at me, then smiled and said, "Okay, drink the medicine and get ready to go." Then he left without looking back.
Instead, he didn't speak for a while before, and now he lingers for a while and doesn't leave. He just stared at me curiously, and then he blushed again when he saw me looking at him, turned and ran away.
This, I don't want to provoke, but it seems to provoke.I helplessly smiled and shook my head, this child is too young, he shouldn't have fallen into this kind of right and wrong so early, I caused him to be harmed, it's better to be rare in the future.
There is nothing to prepare, I drank the medicine quickly, and it was too late to taste the taste, and I didn’t feel the bitterness until I finished drinking it. It seemed that I was stimulated by this bitterness, which made me suddenly realize that my stomach was empty, but it didn’t There is no time to eat, so get dressed and go out immediately, Zhao Yun and the others are almost ready.
Zhao Yun put on a silver-white battle armor, and he looked a little younger than when he was wearing a black gown before. It made me feel that the age I heard from the rumors was unbelievable. He looked just younger than standing next to him. Yuhuo is just a little older, just riding a pure white horse like that, with a heroic appearance, it seems that this is the attire he is more accustomed to in daily life.
And Yuhuo is still dressed as before, gray and orange short shirt and trousers, the belt in the middle outlines the slender waist that belongs to the boy alone, it looks like it hasn't grown yet, but its height is not Unexpectedly tall, at such a young age, he is almost as tall as me.He doesn't wear battle armor, but he looks more energetic than Zhao Yun. I subconsciously took a few more glances, and felt that my mood could also improve a little bit.
"Let's go first, and I asked Yuxue to take the others, and their army is a little slower." Zhao Yun said to me when he saw me coming out, "You are not in good health yet, let him take you on the same horse as Yuhuo. "After speaking, he gestured towards Yuhuo, and Yuhuo's face turned red again.
"You don't lead your own soldiers, you call them Yuxue belt?" I always thought that the Yuhuoyuxue brothers were just Zhao Yun's personal attendants, but unexpectedly they still have a high status.
"Well, this kid Yuxue is much more down-to-earth, much better than his younger brother." He glanced at Yuhuo as he spoke, but there was no reproach in his eyes and tone, but rather pampering.
On the way to Xinye, I was speechless all the way, because I was tired, Zhao Yun led the way wholeheartedly, and Yuhuo sitting behind me was obviously shy and stiff.
When we arrived in Xinye, the subordinates told us that Liu Bei was already holding a combat meeting. After I knew this, I said goodbye to Zhao Yun because I didn’t want to see Yuan Zhi. Just tell me, looking at Yuan Zhi, I'm sure I can't hear or think of anything.
However, things backfired. Accompanied by Yuhuo, not long after I stayed at Zhao Yun's residence in Xinye, I was greeted by the person I least wanted to see at the moment.
"Why did you come?" I looked at Yuan Zhi in surprise, shouldn't he be discussing a battle, why come here when he has time.
"Zhao Yun told me that you're coming, so I'm here." Yuan Zhi's tone was still calm, and then he glanced at Yuhuo beside me, "Sorry, we have something to say in private, can we avoid it?"
Seeing that I didn't object, Yuhuo nodded and left.
The author has something to say:
☆, prepare for battle
There were only the two of us in the room, but Yuan Zhi just stared at me all the time, didn't speak, and his face was still expressionless, but I left his hanging hands and clenched them into fists, which became tighter and tighter.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" I broke the silence anyway, feeling like I just can't stand breathing the same air as him right now.
However, Yuan Zhi still didn't say anything, just took a few steps forward suddenly, pressed in front of me, clasped my shoulders with both hands, leaned over his upper body, and put his face close to mine - at that moment I seemed to be expecting something and closed my eyes.
But there was no expected temperature on my lips. After waiting for a while, I seemed to feel the hand on my shoulder stiffen and then slowly let go. Then I opened my eyes, but I couldn't see anyone anymore.
Why?Did he just want to kiss me?I can't help but ask myself, does he like me?Then why did you say nothing and do nothing before?Is it because he still can't believe me, or is he worried about the eyes of the world?And why did he suddenly make such a move now?I stood there in a daze, not knowing whether I should go after him, or what to say to him.
I don’t know how long it took until Zhao Yun came back, and I realized that I had stood there motionless for a long time. Zhao Yun came back to see me in a daze, and called me several times before I realized it. Immediately afterwards, my legs felt I felt numb and almost fell down, then Zhao Yun hurried over to support me, and I took advantage of the situation to lean on him.
At this moment, I saw the person standing at the door, his limp body immediately stiffened, and I immediately kept a distance from Zhao Yun.But it was too late, Yuan Zhi at the door obviously saw this scene, and, for the first time, I read the expression on his face - pain, hopeless pain.
Why is he here again?Or did you just leave?I don't know, and it doesn't matter, what matters is that the look on his face tells me that he cares about what just happened.
"My feet are numb and I can't stand." Damn, why am I explaining, and the voice of explaining sounds so unbelievable.
Yuan Zhi opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, and then he spoke after a while. What he said was serious: "Cao Ren's army is expected to arrive in Xinye tomorrow. General Zilong should take the irrelevant people away from here. Also, I also hope that General Zilong will not disclose some confidential information to the outside world."
This sentence does not tell me, but every sentence is aimed at me. I was so angry when I heard it, I really wanted to go away, but after all, Xinye was in danger, and for the safety of Yuanzhi's life, I could only bear it for the time being. Down.
"Master Xu's words are wrong. Liang was born in Nanyang, and Xinye is also my hometown. Now that my hometown is being invaded, how can Liang be considered an outsider? Although Liang is not talented, I hope he can contribute."
"You call me Master Xu?" Yuan Zhi looked at me incredulously, and then said, "I don't have time to spend time here, and you too, General Zilong, please go back with me quickly, it's time to arrange specific matters. "
Zhao Yun looked at Yuan Zhi, then turned his head to look at me, his eyes seemed to ask me what I planned to do.
I sneered, and said: "The two adults can go to work on their own." Then bowed my head, pretending to see off the guests, I just bowed my head and said softly in Zhao Yun's ear: "Leave the fire."
Zhao Yun didn't respond, and left with Yuan Zhi, but I just knew he would leave me in flames, so I believed him for no reason.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Yun and the others left, Yuhuo came to look for me.
"Is there anything you can do with me, sir?"
"Call me Kong Ming." Since we need to employ people, it is good to be acquainted, otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable if I am told by others.
"This, it's not good..." His face turned red again, but his eyes looked at me brightly, "Then I'll call you Mr. Kong Ming."
Hey, in order not to make this kid think too much, let him go. The most urgent thing now is to ask him to accompany me to investigate the terrain in the suburbs of Xinye. Since I have no chance to get any information from Zhao Yun, all I can do is Self-reliant.Fortunately, I am fairly familiar with Xinye. I think I have visited most of the places in Jingzhou back then. Speaking of which, there are still many places that Yuanzhi accompanied me to.
We stayed from evening until late at night. I finally achieved my goal and found a highland in the northern suburb of Xinye. This place is not far from the city. The mountain is not very high, but there are no other highlands or buildings around to block the view. So you can clearly see the whole situation down the mountain.Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can see the wilderness of Yimapingchuan in the north and the narrowing road in the south. You can have a panoramic view of the whole terrain.This time Cao Ren came from the north, and he obviously had more troops than Liu Bei, so he would naturally try to take advantage of his numbers. If he drives deep, he will have less contact with the enemy, which is not as good as a horizontal arrangement.This is not only a place with steep terrain changes, but also a key point of transportation in Xinye. It is very possible for Cao Ren to launch a battle here.
And I, as long as I stand on this mountain, I can clearly see the whole battle situation at the first time, and then make a judgment, and the rest can only be left to Yuhuo to find Zhao Yun.
"Mr. Kong Ming...it's getting late, and it's windy and cold here, you're not in good health, go back first." The voice from the fire came.
"No, we'll just wait here."
I was indeed a little tired, so I didn't want to talk much, so I sat down on the floor.
I couldn't be persuaded by the fire, so I had to find some dry firewood, and then lit a fire next to me to keep me warm.I saw that he was skillful in lighting a fire, and I couldn't help but wonder: "Did you often spend the night outside?"
"Well, when I was young, before I met the general, my brother and I had no home or other family members. We just lived in the mountains all day long, hunting rabbits and picking fruits to eat when we were hungry, and drinking spring water in the mountains when we were thirsty. I made a fire in the cave and slept. Until one day even that mountain was taken over by a group of bandits, my brother and I had nowhere to go, met a general, and were adopted, so we had a stable place to live.”
The experience of being in the fire sounds very pitiful, but the tone of his words did not have a bitter taste, but had a reassuring power. "How old were you then?"
"I was ten years old when I was adopted, and my brother was 13 years old. At that time, I didn't know how to read or write. The general taught us a lot after he adopted us, especially my brother, who is very capable now. It's been six or seven years. Now, the general always said that I am far inferior to my brother." That said, but through the light of the fire, I saw the pride on Yuhuo's face, it seems that he likes his brother very much.
"Your brother, is it called Yuxue?" I remember Zhao Yun saying that.
"Well, our names are all chosen by the general, probably in the hope that we can be desperate when we go to the battlefield..."
"Cough cough..."
Yuhuo’s words were interrupted by my coughing. He looked at me anxiously, then took off his coat and put it on me. Seeing my excuse, he hurriedly said: “Mr. Kong Ming, you are not in good health. Yes, the general will definitely blame me, even if it's for me, you should take care of yourself."
"Isn't it? It can be seen that General Zhao attaches great importance to you, so there is no need to blame you for such a thing."
"No, Mr. Kong Ming, you don't know how nervous the general was when you passed out before. I've never seen him like that. I can see that he, he likes you."
... I looked at Yuhuo in surprise, completely unable to understand what he said, Zhao Yun, like me?
"Actually, it's not just the general, even me..." Under the light of the flames, I saw that my face was extremely red from the fire.
The author has something to say:
☆, gunpowder
In the dimness, I heard someone calling me.
"Mr. Kong Ming, wake up!"
I woke up and saw that the foot of the mountain was filled with gunpowder smoke, and I could only see a vague formation and flying flags. I couldn't tell who was who. I just knew that there was a person standing on one side, and I unconsciously looked there, wrinkled. frowned.
"I didn't call you late on purpose, I just saw that you seemed too tired, I hope you can sleep a little longer..." Yuhuo thought that I was frowning because I was angry, and quickly explained, in fact, how could I blame him? I couldn't stop squinting for a while, but ended up sleeping until now, but this child has stayed up until now with a tired face, and it seems that he is also watching the situation, knowing that it is an important moment and finally it is time to wake me up.
"Do you recognize this formation?" I asked Yuhuo.
"I don't know." Yuhuo shook her head in frustration.
"Well, it's normal. There are very few people who know this Eight-door Golden Lock Formation. It's normal for you to not know it at your age. I guess your general doesn't know it either." Seeing the anxious look on his face, I immediately comforted him. Said, "But it's okay, Yuan Zhi knows it, and breaking this formation won't trouble him."
I thought Yu Huo would ask me how to break it, but he asked me an unexpected question. He asked me: "Mr. Kong Ming, are you familiar with Mr. Xu?"
"..." I didn't want to continue with this question, so I could only pretend that I didn't hear his question and just stared down the mountain intently, but I still saw it out of the corner of my eye, and my burning eyes dimmed a lot.
"Strange..." When I was concentrating on watching the battle situation, I finally found something wrong, "There are many variations of the eight-door golden lock formation, but no matter how you change it, its defensive use is more than offensive, and it is more used for When there are few enemies and many enemies, this formation is wonderful, but it is not suitable for Cao Ren's current situation..."
"That would be better, we can win."
"No, it's not right!" I finally realized, "Cao Ren set up this formation to let us focus on how to break the formation. The difficulty of this formation is a challenge for every military adviser. Difficult to break, the more concentrated the attention, then this time is the best opportunity to make a difference. There must be another team going around the back, burning fire, you should go and tell them immediately, pretend not to know about this conspiracy, use A small number of soldiers still went to the battle, and most of the rest slowly retreated to the rear. Cao Cao was used to burning other people's food and grass, and Cao Ren copied that method in all likelihood. Although Yuan Zhi should be on guard this time, But the troops are limited, so there must not be many troops stationed there, so hurry up and ask Yuan Zhi to send most of the soldiers and horses back to guard the food and grass, hurry up! Now is the time!"
After hearing this, Yuhuo immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and was about to leave on the horse he rode yesterday. I suddenly stopped him again: "Wait, what time is it now?"
Although Yuhuo was a little puzzled, he still answered me quickly: "It's around [-]:[-] am now."
"It's only Chenshi?" I laughed, and my mind slowed down just after waking up, "Then I have a better way, you don't need to be in a hurry, but remember my words clearly, and do as I say."
After Jian Jian explained to Yuhuo, he set off, and it was obvious that Zhao Yun did not pick the wrong person. This child was indeed a brave, resourceful, affectionate and righteous child, but it was still a rough jade that had yet to be polished.
It took only half an incense stick to leave after the fire, and the formation at the bottom of the mountain began to change. It seems that he has taken my words well.
The soldiers are divided into three groups.Send a few people to stay in the same place to fight on the first line, and send one person back to inform the soldiers guarding the grain and grass, fill the grain depot with gunpowder and retreat. When Cao Jun enters the grain depot, he will set fire to it, and the gunpowder will be detonated at that time. They died in the sea of fire together with the grain and grass.And the point is that it is still in the Third Route Army. This is also the question that I interrupted when I heard the arrangement in front of me: "What should we do if our food and grass are burned?"
"Cao Ren came earlier than expected, and the battle started at Chenshi. Obviously, he put the luggage behind and escorted it separately. Judging from the number of people at the scene, including the people he sent to burn food, the people responsible for escorting food and grass must be very special. Less, of course, because Cao Ren’s heart was swollen. The superiority in numbers made him unable to imagine that Liu Bei would dare to divide his troops to rob him of food. We only need to send most of our troops to rob him, leaving only a few people here to restrain us.”
In the final analysis, it was the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation that killed him. Yes, this formation is very difficult to break, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t break the formation. As long as you know that the frontal attack is a feint, the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation is just a Cao Ren to delay time. empty shell, but I
Ever since Yuanzhi left my house by misunderstanding that time, the days have changed from being difficult at first to passing faster and faster. I had a complete falling out with Yueying and I didn’t really want to stay at home, and my study was often occupied by her, nothing happened. What I had to do was to go out frequently. I spent days and nights singing and dancing in the arena, singing and singing, and sleeves fluttering. Sometimes I drank wine and chatted casually about current affairs and heroes. Unknowingly, the name of Crouching Dragon spread like wildfire. Walk.
And later, unknowingly, Wolong's reputation for drinking like a sea also spread like wildfire.
And I seem to be getting farther and farther away from my original friends, and even Mr. Shui Jing is unwilling to take the initiative to see me again.
"Mr. Wolong, are you alright?" Master Pan's voice brought me back to the banquet.
"It's okay, I just drank too much." I made a gesture of evasion, indicating that I wanted to take a break.
However, things didn’t go as planned, Master Pan not only didn’t leave, but also called a young and beautiful girl over, brought the girl to stand shyly in front of me, and Master Pan introduced: “This is my little girl, it’s the [-]th of this year. age, it is better to let the little girl come to the venue to dance for a while, and show the husband to relieve the alcohol."
Before I had time to refuse, the girl took advantage of the situation and made a bow, saying: "Little girl Pan Yu, you are making a fool of yourself." After saying that, she swayed her golden steps slowly and stepped onto the high platform.
Master Pan motioned me to watch it carefully, and then went back to my seat contentedly.
I was the only one left with a wry smile, and I asked myself if such things happen rarely these days. Since I frequently appeared in various banquets, there are always all kinds of women around me throwing arms or throwing stones to ask for directions.The outside world knows that I married an ugly daughter-in-law, and also knows that my life after marriage seems to be unhappy, so there are always all kinds of women around me, some are beautiful, some are charming, some are full of poetry, some can sing Good at dancing, or having both ability and political integrity, or being virtuous and virtuous, but I have never brought up my interest.Just like now, no matter how well that Pan Yu dances on the high stage, it has nothing to do with me.
I know that with the passage of time, Cai's pursuit of Yuan Zhi seems to have ended without a problem. From an unnamed letter that Mr. Shui Jing received, which should be from Yuan Zhi, I learned that he is fine for the time being, but it is inconvenient to come back. Wish to come back.And whether his misunderstanding of me has been solved or not, I don't know.
Soon after the song was over, Pan Yu gracefully stepped down from the stage and came to me again: "Mr. Wolong, you're laughing."
I just nodded and didn't want to say anything.
"Sir, you didn't watch it just now, did you?" Pan Yu's voice was filled with disappointment.
"Just a little tired." I replied casually.
"Mr.'s appearance reminds me of a person."
"Oh? Who?"
"Some time ago, I participated in a banquet under the leadership of my father. Uncle Liu Huang also attended that time."
"Uncle Liu Huang? Are you talking about Liu Xuande?" During this period of time, people were talking about this Uncle Liu Huang, but I still couldn't understand how Pan Yu connected me with him, so I couldn't help asking, "Why did you see me? Will you remember him?"
"Actually, I didn't think of him, but I thought of a person who was following him, who seemed to be his military adviser. The expression of that person was the same as yours just now. He seemed to be enjoying himself at the banquet, but look carefully. I always feel that my soul is not there."
I don't know why, but I heard an inexplicable throbbing here, so I immediately asked: "What's his name? Is his surname Xu?"
"No, it's not Xu, and I can't remember what it's called." Pan Yu tried to recall but gave up.
"Oh, forget it." My tone couldn't hide my disappointment. It seems that I thought too much. Although Mr. Shui Jing told us about Liu Huangshu's character a long time ago, Yuan Zhi also expressed his willingness to follow Liu Bei's. Meaning, but in this situation, I'm afraid he can't help it.
I know that Liu Bei has been very passive lately. Although the small victories were divided in half, overall he was retreating steadily. The outside world said that his new military division is good, but after all, there are too few troops and no fixed territory. In Cao Cao Such a result is helpless under the offensive.At the recent banquet, many people mentioned Liu Bei to me, and some even persuaded me to join his camp, but now I don't have that kind of thought at all.The name of Wolong has nothing to do with me.What does this world have to do with me?
After sending Pan Yu away, people came to toast me one after another, and I felt my head getting heavier and heavier, but at this moment, I heard someone shouting "Uncle Liu Huang is here!"
It seemed that Liu Bei had arrived, and indeed I heard that Liu Bei was invited to today's banquet, but anyway, Liu Bei has always been reluctant to attend banquets, and most people did not expect him to come.On the contrary, it was this announcement that made the audience commotion for a while. Although Liu Bei's current situation is not good, when it comes to heroes in the world, Liu Bei can be regarded as a role that will be mentioned by others. Naturally, there are so many people who want to get acquainted.
Speaking of which, by accident, even though I have attended so many banquets, this is only the first time I have seen him.
Not long after the announcement, a group of people entered the lobby. I didn't get up like most people, but I was still sitting and looking at the distance with a glass of wine, and I was stunned for a while.
What I saw was not Liu Bei, but a person following behind him. I never thought that I would unexpectedly reunite with that old friend on such an occasion without warning.
"Yuan Zhi." I murmured, unable to believe my eyes, but the wine glass in my hand had already dropped quietly.
The author has something to say:
☆, reunion
As if he noticed my gaze, Yuan Zhi also looked towards me, but after just one glance, he stopped his gaze and never looked at me again.
For a while, too many people rushed towards Liu Bei's direction. The crowd prevented me from seeing Yuan Zhi, and I was unwilling, so I stood up and wobbled along with the crowd.
Walking all the way to Liu Bei is equivalent to being in front of Yuan Zhi, without the slightest courtesy, even though he knew it was wrong, he still said directly to Yuan Zhi: "Unexpectedly, I saw a long-lost old friend."
Liu Bei and the others obviously hadn't seen me, they all looked around at Yuan Zhi as far as I could see, and the expressionless Yuan Zhi reacted helplessly at this moment: "Oh, Kong Ming, long time no see .”
His tone was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, but it exploded in my heart. Just the word Kong Ming coming out of his mouth made me feel as if I had passed away.Unable to control my emotions anymore, I forced myself to ask Liu Bei rudely in a drunken state: "Can you let me and my old friend talk about the past alone?"
Although Liu Bei showed a surprised expression at my directness, he still nodded in agreement, so I didn't wait for Yuan Zhi to express his position, and I dragged him to the corridor outside the hall.
"It's almost here, what do you want to say?" Yuan Zhi asked coldly when he broke free from my hand as soon as he arrived at a slightly secluded place.
You misunderstood, or, sorry... I don't know where to start at the moment.
Seeming to see through my embarrassment, Yuan Zhi said: "You don't need to explain, no matter what the facts are, the past is in the past."
"What do you mean no matter what?"
Yuan Zhi sighed and said: "Actually, in retrospect, I don't think you really wanted to frame me to gain a powerful position. If you really wanted to frame me, it wouldn't be so obvious."
"Then you believe me, Yuan Zhi?" I couldn't help but look at Yuan Zhi in surprise, but his face was still expressionless.
"Believe it or not is not important anymore. Now that I am not Xu Shu, and you are married, what else can we talk about?"
"No! I married a wife just to lure you out. At that time, I didn't know that you killed someone. I thought your disappearance was because of what I said to you that time, so I tried every means to lure you out to see me. I and her There is no reality of husband and wife at all, and she is the one who plots against you, as long as it is your wish, I can divorce my wife at any time!"
Yuan Zhi glanced at me with a look of surprise, but when I looked carefully, I realized that he was not looking at me, but looking through me at the direction of the lobby behind me, and I followed his gaze back, looking at We arrived at a man standing not far from us outside the lobby door.
At this distance, I believe he can hear everything. The only question is when did he start standing there.
This man obviously saw us looking at him, so he took a few steps forward and said to us: "My lord is afraid that the two of you will catch the cold outside, so I asked you to go back to the hall and talk about the past slowly."
There was nothing wrong with his words and eyebrows, but when he took a few steps forward, the size of his steps did not match his tall body, so I knew he was adjusting his emotions and preparing his words. After all, he heard it, but fortunately, he didn't seem to want to get to the bottom of it.
"Understood, Zilong, let's go back now." Yuan Zhi said naturally.
It turned out that this was Zhao Yun under Liu Bei. He looked much younger than the real age rumored by the outside world, except that there was something in his eyes that was precipitated over the years.
Yuan Zhi followed Zhao Yun back to the lobby, so I had no choice but to follow in, and followed Yuan Zhi closely, waiting for him to give me a response.I've told him the truth and I thought he'd understand and go back.But soon, I discovered that this was just "I thought".
"Let me introduce to you," Liu Bei hurriedly pulled Yuan Zhi to introduce him to the other adults as soon as he saw Yuan Zhi who had returned, "This is the military advisor I recruited recently, Shan Fu."
It turns out that Liu Beixin's military adviser is you, Yuan Zhi, changed your name and surname, is it really to avoid pursuit or to avoid me?Now that he is under Liu Bei's account, it is easy to ask the Cai family to give up hunting, but he still wants to hide his name, obviously to prevent me from inquiring about him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at Yuan Zhi in frustration. He still didn't have much expression on his face, and he saluted the adults humbly. The hand holding the wine glass didn't tremble at all, and everything was calm. None of me?It seems that I no longer need to know the answer from him, so what's the point of my staying here.
Liu Bei's arrival made me less noticeable, it was time to leave, and I left quietly while no one was paying attention.
However, I don’t know whether it’s because I drank too much alcohol or because I was too preoccupied, but I walked more and more dizzy, and then my eyes went black, but before my eyes went dark, I heard a slightly immature voice Calling "My lord, are you all right?"
I don’t know how long it took, but the moment I opened my eyes, I saw a warm pillow in a tall hall. Although it wasn’t very gorgeous, it was obviously much better than my own thatched cottage. So if this is not a thatched cottage, then where is it?
"He's awake!" A childish voice that was a little familiar, I remembered, it was the last voice I heard before I passed out.
Following the sound, a young figure left my bed and ran out of the house, shouting as he ran, "Mister is awake, sir is awake!"
I don't know why, it's probably rare to see such a jumpy or even reckless person, and the mood is a little less gloomy, and I can't help but wonder how the master here has such a servant.
After waiting for not too long, the master came. Unexpectedly, he was someone I had just met, Zhao Yun, wearing a black robe without any embellishments, and the texture was not very elegant, but he looked very energetic and capable. You can see the burly figure of the general.
"How are you, sir?" The voice of greeting was very concerned, but unfortunately he belonged to Liu Bei. No matter what, Yuan Zhi followed Liu Bei, and I always felt in my heart that Liu Bei snatched him away from me. There was a deep dislike, and he didn't even have much affection for the people around him.
"It turned out to be General Zhao, thank you."
"Mister still remembers me." Zhao Yun raised his brows slightly, his face full of surprise.It seems that he also remembers me, but he doesn't know how much he remembers what I said to Yuan Zhi last night.
So I didn't answer the conversation, and was a little embarrassed for a while, but Zhao Yun said: "Bring the fire, bring the medicine."
It was the boy who saw the back just now brought the medicine over, his movements were extremely fast but his hands were extremely steady, obviously he had practiced martial arts.
I took the medicine, nodded and smiled at the boy, but saw that the boy's face turned red immediately, then he lowered his head and muttered "I still have something to do" and ran out.
Zhao Yun didn't care, he smiled and said, "This kid is just so unstable."
"His name is Yuhuo? What a special name."
"Well, he is an orphan I picked up, and I also named him. At that time, he had an older brother named Yuxue." Zhao Yun seemed to be remembering the past, his eyes were erratic and a little sad, but he quickly Came back to my senses, and smiled at me, "You actually asked about Yuhuo first, instead of asking me why you are here and how long have you been asleep?"
I also smiled, but I was very bitter. Do I really want to tell him that since I saw Yuan Zhi again, I don't care about myself anymore, life and death don't matter, and I still care about where I am.
The author has something to say:
☆, in danger
"Drink the medicine first, it's getting cold soon." Seeing that I wasn't moving, Zhao Yun urged me several times.
However, I came back to my senses not because I heard his urging, but because Yuhuo, who had just gone out, ran back again, with a solemn expression on his face, as if he was a different person from before.
"General, there is news from my lord. It seems that I have received a report from a spy. Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to lead an army to attack. Xinye is in danger."
"What?" This exclamation did not come from Zhao Yun's mouth, but from me, which surprised me. At the same time, the hand holding the medicine shook and spilled on the bed.
Zhao Yun gave me a meaningful look. There was no blame in his eyes, but a trace of pity. For some reason, seeing that look made my heart ache for no reason. It was not for him, but for the person he showed such a look to—me.
Seemingly startled by my reaction, Yuhuo didn't continue, but just looked at me curiously.
But I didn't care too much, my mind was full of Yuan Zhi, after all, as long as he was in danger, I couldn't calm down, so I immediately asked, "What's the specific situation?"
Yuhuo only answered my question after seeing Zhao Yun nodding his head to indicate that he could speak, "It is said that this time Cao Ren led [-] soldiers and came straight to Xinye. They are not reconciled, this time they are going to destroy us."
"Fifty thousand..." Zhao Yun frowned, fell into a brief thought, and then turned to look at me, "Since you have the name of Crouching Dragon, is there any way to help us get through this difficulty?"
"Why do you ask me? Don't you have a good military adviser?"
"I'm just curious, will the two of you come up with the same method?" Zhao Yun looked at me with a hint of playfulness in his eyes. I feel more and more that this person is very strange. The first time they met, they became acquainted naturally.
"I don't know why you are curious, but if you don't give me the specific situation, you want me to tell you how to do it. I can only say that the disadvantage of numbers is not so easy to reverse. The failure of strategy is always eager to make up for it with tactics. It's difficult for the strong." Regarding Zhao Yun's attitude, I could only deal with it angrily.
"Can't you predict it? The opponent's tactics, countermeasures and so on." Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and said provocatively, "I wanted to take you to Xinye, but it seems that you are mediocre. Cai, I still count on Xu Shu."
"Xu Shu? Do you know his name is Xu Shu? Don't you call him Shan Fu?"
"From the very beginning, he gave all the details. The lord also told him that he can keep him and don't need to hide his name, but he insisted that the lord should not bother him. I couldn't figure out why before, but now I finally know. Probably."
What is this, I can't help but ask myself, I feel like a joke.Where does Yuan Zhi put me, he can tell his story to anyone he just met, Liu Bei and everyone around him knew he killed someone, and he never seemed to believe me, missing from the beginning From the misunderstanding to the present, he has never said anything to me. Even if he is called Shan Fu now, I know it from other people.
But I can't restrain myself from caring about him, I still want to go to Xinye, I don't want him to be in danger alone.So I can only do what I have learned, let Zhao Yun know what I can use, and then take me there.
"When the two armies are fighting, the most important thing on the battlefield is the formation. Although the formation is ever-changing, it remains the same. I have compiled several main types and various forms that have evolved into books, but there are too many books. You can't take it, and you can't search for a way to break the formation on the spot, and all of this is in my mind, as long as I am in front of the formation, at least you will not lose in this quarter."
Zhao Yun stared at me, then smiled and said, "Okay, drink the medicine and get ready to go." Then he left without looking back.
Instead, he didn't speak for a while before, and now he lingers for a while and doesn't leave. He just stared at me curiously, and then he blushed again when he saw me looking at him, turned and ran away.
This, I don't want to provoke, but it seems to provoke.I helplessly smiled and shook my head, this child is too young, he shouldn't have fallen into this kind of right and wrong so early, I caused him to be harmed, it's better to be rare in the future.
There is nothing to prepare, I drank the medicine quickly, and it was too late to taste the taste, and I didn’t feel the bitterness until I finished drinking it. It seemed that I was stimulated by this bitterness, which made me suddenly realize that my stomach was empty, but it didn’t There is no time to eat, so get dressed and go out immediately, Zhao Yun and the others are almost ready.
Zhao Yun put on a silver-white battle armor, and he looked a little younger than when he was wearing a black gown before. It made me feel that the age I heard from the rumors was unbelievable. He looked just younger than standing next to him. Yuhuo is just a little older, just riding a pure white horse like that, with a heroic appearance, it seems that this is the attire he is more accustomed to in daily life.
And Yuhuo is still dressed as before, gray and orange short shirt and trousers, the belt in the middle outlines the slender waist that belongs to the boy alone, it looks like it hasn't grown yet, but its height is not Unexpectedly tall, at such a young age, he is almost as tall as me.He doesn't wear battle armor, but he looks more energetic than Zhao Yun. I subconsciously took a few more glances, and felt that my mood could also improve a little bit.
"Let's go first, and I asked Yuxue to take the others, and their army is a little slower." Zhao Yun said to me when he saw me coming out, "You are not in good health yet, let him take you on the same horse as Yuhuo. "After speaking, he gestured towards Yuhuo, and Yuhuo's face turned red again.
"You don't lead your own soldiers, you call them Yuxue belt?" I always thought that the Yuhuoyuxue brothers were just Zhao Yun's personal attendants, but unexpectedly they still have a high status.
"Well, this kid Yuxue is much more down-to-earth, much better than his younger brother." He glanced at Yuhuo as he spoke, but there was no reproach in his eyes and tone, but rather pampering.
On the way to Xinye, I was speechless all the way, because I was tired, Zhao Yun led the way wholeheartedly, and Yuhuo sitting behind me was obviously shy and stiff.
When we arrived in Xinye, the subordinates told us that Liu Bei was already holding a combat meeting. After I knew this, I said goodbye to Zhao Yun because I didn’t want to see Yuan Zhi. Just tell me, looking at Yuan Zhi, I'm sure I can't hear or think of anything.
However, things backfired. Accompanied by Yuhuo, not long after I stayed at Zhao Yun's residence in Xinye, I was greeted by the person I least wanted to see at the moment.
"Why did you come?" I looked at Yuan Zhi in surprise, shouldn't he be discussing a battle, why come here when he has time.
"Zhao Yun told me that you're coming, so I'm here." Yuan Zhi's tone was still calm, and then he glanced at Yuhuo beside me, "Sorry, we have something to say in private, can we avoid it?"
Seeing that I didn't object, Yuhuo nodded and left.
The author has something to say:
☆, prepare for battle
There were only the two of us in the room, but Yuan Zhi just stared at me all the time, didn't speak, and his face was still expressionless, but I left his hanging hands and clenched them into fists, which became tighter and tighter.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" I broke the silence anyway, feeling like I just can't stand breathing the same air as him right now.
However, Yuan Zhi still didn't say anything, just took a few steps forward suddenly, pressed in front of me, clasped my shoulders with both hands, leaned over his upper body, and put his face close to mine - at that moment I seemed to be expecting something and closed my eyes.
But there was no expected temperature on my lips. After waiting for a while, I seemed to feel the hand on my shoulder stiffen and then slowly let go. Then I opened my eyes, but I couldn't see anyone anymore.
Why?Did he just want to kiss me?I can't help but ask myself, does he like me?Then why did you say nothing and do nothing before?Is it because he still can't believe me, or is he worried about the eyes of the world?And why did he suddenly make such a move now?I stood there in a daze, not knowing whether I should go after him, or what to say to him.
I don’t know how long it took until Zhao Yun came back, and I realized that I had stood there motionless for a long time. Zhao Yun came back to see me in a daze, and called me several times before I realized it. Immediately afterwards, my legs felt I felt numb and almost fell down, then Zhao Yun hurried over to support me, and I took advantage of the situation to lean on him.
At this moment, I saw the person standing at the door, his limp body immediately stiffened, and I immediately kept a distance from Zhao Yun.But it was too late, Yuan Zhi at the door obviously saw this scene, and, for the first time, I read the expression on his face - pain, hopeless pain.
Why is he here again?Or did you just leave?I don't know, and it doesn't matter, what matters is that the look on his face tells me that he cares about what just happened.
"My feet are numb and I can't stand." Damn, why am I explaining, and the voice of explaining sounds so unbelievable.
Yuan Zhi opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, and then he spoke after a while. What he said was serious: "Cao Ren's army is expected to arrive in Xinye tomorrow. General Zilong should take the irrelevant people away from here. Also, I also hope that General Zilong will not disclose some confidential information to the outside world."
This sentence does not tell me, but every sentence is aimed at me. I was so angry when I heard it, I really wanted to go away, but after all, Xinye was in danger, and for the safety of Yuanzhi's life, I could only bear it for the time being. Down.
"Master Xu's words are wrong. Liang was born in Nanyang, and Xinye is also my hometown. Now that my hometown is being invaded, how can Liang be considered an outsider? Although Liang is not talented, I hope he can contribute."
"You call me Master Xu?" Yuan Zhi looked at me incredulously, and then said, "I don't have time to spend time here, and you too, General Zilong, please go back with me quickly, it's time to arrange specific matters. "
Zhao Yun looked at Yuan Zhi, then turned his head to look at me, his eyes seemed to ask me what I planned to do.
I sneered, and said: "The two adults can go to work on their own." Then bowed my head, pretending to see off the guests, I just bowed my head and said softly in Zhao Yun's ear: "Leave the fire."
Zhao Yun didn't respond, and left with Yuan Zhi, but I just knew he would leave me in flames, so I believed him for no reason.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Yun and the others left, Yuhuo came to look for me.
"Is there anything you can do with me, sir?"
"Call me Kong Ming." Since we need to employ people, it is good to be acquainted, otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable if I am told by others.
"This, it's not good..." His face turned red again, but his eyes looked at me brightly, "Then I'll call you Mr. Kong Ming."
Hey, in order not to make this kid think too much, let him go. The most urgent thing now is to ask him to accompany me to investigate the terrain in the suburbs of Xinye. Since I have no chance to get any information from Zhao Yun, all I can do is Self-reliant.Fortunately, I am fairly familiar with Xinye. I think I have visited most of the places in Jingzhou back then. Speaking of which, there are still many places that Yuanzhi accompanied me to.
We stayed from evening until late at night. I finally achieved my goal and found a highland in the northern suburb of Xinye. This place is not far from the city. The mountain is not very high, but there are no other highlands or buildings around to block the view. So you can clearly see the whole situation down the mountain.Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can see the wilderness of Yimapingchuan in the north and the narrowing road in the south. You can have a panoramic view of the whole terrain.This time Cao Ren came from the north, and he obviously had more troops than Liu Bei, so he would naturally try to take advantage of his numbers. If he drives deep, he will have less contact with the enemy, which is not as good as a horizontal arrangement.This is not only a place with steep terrain changes, but also a key point of transportation in Xinye. It is very possible for Cao Ren to launch a battle here.
And I, as long as I stand on this mountain, I can clearly see the whole battle situation at the first time, and then make a judgment, and the rest can only be left to Yuhuo to find Zhao Yun.
"Mr. Kong Ming...it's getting late, and it's windy and cold here, you're not in good health, go back first." The voice from the fire came.
"No, we'll just wait here."
I was indeed a little tired, so I didn't want to talk much, so I sat down on the floor.
I couldn't be persuaded by the fire, so I had to find some dry firewood, and then lit a fire next to me to keep me warm.I saw that he was skillful in lighting a fire, and I couldn't help but wonder: "Did you often spend the night outside?"
"Well, when I was young, before I met the general, my brother and I had no home or other family members. We just lived in the mountains all day long, hunting rabbits and picking fruits to eat when we were hungry, and drinking spring water in the mountains when we were thirsty. I made a fire in the cave and slept. Until one day even that mountain was taken over by a group of bandits, my brother and I had nowhere to go, met a general, and were adopted, so we had a stable place to live.”
The experience of being in the fire sounds very pitiful, but the tone of his words did not have a bitter taste, but had a reassuring power. "How old were you then?"
"I was ten years old when I was adopted, and my brother was 13 years old. At that time, I didn't know how to read or write. The general taught us a lot after he adopted us, especially my brother, who is very capable now. It's been six or seven years. Now, the general always said that I am far inferior to my brother." That said, but through the light of the fire, I saw the pride on Yuhuo's face, it seems that he likes his brother very much.
"Your brother, is it called Yuxue?" I remember Zhao Yun saying that.
"Well, our names are all chosen by the general, probably in the hope that we can be desperate when we go to the battlefield..."
"Cough cough..."
Yuhuo’s words were interrupted by my coughing. He looked at me anxiously, then took off his coat and put it on me. Seeing my excuse, he hurriedly said: “Mr. Kong Ming, you are not in good health. Yes, the general will definitely blame me, even if it's for me, you should take care of yourself."
"Isn't it? It can be seen that General Zhao attaches great importance to you, so there is no need to blame you for such a thing."
"No, Mr. Kong Ming, you don't know how nervous the general was when you passed out before. I've never seen him like that. I can see that he, he likes you."
... I looked at Yuhuo in surprise, completely unable to understand what he said, Zhao Yun, like me?
"Actually, it's not just the general, even me..." Under the light of the flames, I saw that my face was extremely red from the fire.
The author has something to say:
☆, gunpowder
In the dimness, I heard someone calling me.
"Mr. Kong Ming, wake up!"
I woke up and saw that the foot of the mountain was filled with gunpowder smoke, and I could only see a vague formation and flying flags. I couldn't tell who was who. I just knew that there was a person standing on one side, and I unconsciously looked there, wrinkled. frowned.
"I didn't call you late on purpose, I just saw that you seemed too tired, I hope you can sleep a little longer..." Yuhuo thought that I was frowning because I was angry, and quickly explained, in fact, how could I blame him? I couldn't stop squinting for a while, but ended up sleeping until now, but this child has stayed up until now with a tired face, and it seems that he is also watching the situation, knowing that it is an important moment and finally it is time to wake me up.
"Do you recognize this formation?" I asked Yuhuo.
"I don't know." Yuhuo shook her head in frustration.
"Well, it's normal. There are very few people who know this Eight-door Golden Lock Formation. It's normal for you to not know it at your age. I guess your general doesn't know it either." Seeing the anxious look on his face, I immediately comforted him. Said, "But it's okay, Yuan Zhi knows it, and breaking this formation won't trouble him."
I thought Yu Huo would ask me how to break it, but he asked me an unexpected question. He asked me: "Mr. Kong Ming, are you familiar with Mr. Xu?"
"..." I didn't want to continue with this question, so I could only pretend that I didn't hear his question and just stared down the mountain intently, but I still saw it out of the corner of my eye, and my burning eyes dimmed a lot.
"Strange..." When I was concentrating on watching the battle situation, I finally found something wrong, "There are many variations of the eight-door golden lock formation, but no matter how you change it, its defensive use is more than offensive, and it is more used for When there are few enemies and many enemies, this formation is wonderful, but it is not suitable for Cao Ren's current situation..."
"That would be better, we can win."
"No, it's not right!" I finally realized, "Cao Ren set up this formation to let us focus on how to break the formation. The difficulty of this formation is a challenge for every military adviser. Difficult to break, the more concentrated the attention, then this time is the best opportunity to make a difference. There must be another team going around the back, burning fire, you should go and tell them immediately, pretend not to know about this conspiracy, use A small number of soldiers still went to the battle, and most of the rest slowly retreated to the rear. Cao Cao was used to burning other people's food and grass, and Cao Ren copied that method in all likelihood. Although Yuan Zhi should be on guard this time, But the troops are limited, so there must not be many troops stationed there, so hurry up and ask Yuan Zhi to send most of the soldiers and horses back to guard the food and grass, hurry up! Now is the time!"
After hearing this, Yuhuo immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and was about to leave on the horse he rode yesterday. I suddenly stopped him again: "Wait, what time is it now?"
Although Yuhuo was a little puzzled, he still answered me quickly: "It's around [-]:[-] am now."
"It's only Chenshi?" I laughed, and my mind slowed down just after waking up, "Then I have a better way, you don't need to be in a hurry, but remember my words clearly, and do as I say."
After Jian Jian explained to Yuhuo, he set off, and it was obvious that Zhao Yun did not pick the wrong person. This child was indeed a brave, resourceful, affectionate and righteous child, but it was still a rough jade that had yet to be polished.
It took only half an incense stick to leave after the fire, and the formation at the bottom of the mountain began to change. It seems that he has taken my words well.
The soldiers are divided into three groups.Send a few people to stay in the same place to fight on the first line, and send one person back to inform the soldiers guarding the grain and grass, fill the grain depot with gunpowder and retreat. When Cao Jun enters the grain depot, he will set fire to it, and the gunpowder will be detonated at that time. They died in the sea of fire together with the grain and grass.And the point is that it is still in the Third Route Army. This is also the question that I interrupted when I heard the arrangement in front of me: "What should we do if our food and grass are burned?"
"Cao Ren came earlier than expected, and the battle started at Chenshi. Obviously, he put the luggage behind and escorted it separately. Judging from the number of people at the scene, including the people he sent to burn food, the people responsible for escorting food and grass must be very special. Less, of course, because Cao Ren’s heart was swollen. The superiority in numbers made him unable to imagine that Liu Bei would dare to divide his troops to rob him of food. We only need to send most of our troops to rob him, leaving only a few people here to restrain us.”
In the final analysis, it was the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation that killed him. Yes, this formation is very difficult to break, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t break the formation. As long as you know that the frontal attack is a feint, the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation is just a Cao Ren to delay time. empty shell, but I
