fluttering night wind

Feeling apprehensive, Pei Lie followed Meng Ziying into the tent.The tent was empty, there was not even a place to sit, and it was expected that the Shu army had just arrived.

Sure enough, Mencius Ying said: "I just marched here in the morning, and I hurriedly set up the tent, please forgive me." Add clarity.He couldn't help but blurted out: "Did your Majesty already divide up Qi Shan, intending to go straight down from Ziwu Valley to Chang'an, and attack from both sides?" Meng Ziying looked at him gravely.Pei Lie took a step back. At this moment, he was startled, what a big game of chess!

Meng Ziying walked to the door of the tent and glanced around. With his current skill, he could already know the movement tens of miles away without looking at it. Of course, he also knew whether there was anyone eavesdropping.Standing at the door is just to reassure the subordinates.He turned to face the tent, looked at Pei Lie with a smile and said, "Xiao Lie is so keen, he has made great progress. It seems that he will be reined in as a marquis."

After Pei Lie was horrified, although he was praised by him, he was not half happy. Instead, he said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Xijing is broken and has been in the hands of the Huns for a long time. The symbolic significance of the strategy is greater than the actual significance. Your Majesty has divided the troops so far. If the Hulu break through Xiangyang What if the door of the Central Plains is wide open? Has your Majesty forgotten that the Five Hus drove straight down from Xiangyang in the reign of Emperor Yuan Chongming. Once they rode in from Yanyun alone, the dragon spirit is so cold in the river."

He will always remember that when he was young, the person in front of him took Yan Feng, Yan Xing, and Pei Shao to study and practice martial arts, and they would discuss what happened during Emperor Yuan Chongming's reign whenever they had free time.Mencius has said countless times that since Yanyun entered alone, the dragon spirit has been so cold. If the imperial court hadn't defeated Xiangyang and moved the capital to Jiangzuo, there would be no division between the north and the south today.

Mencius remained silent.At that time, he was exactly the same as Bai Yansheng, he was feeling Huailing Valley, and he had the feeling of my son who had just grown up.Just as he was about to open his mouth, someone outside the tent shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, there is movement in Luoyi City." A young general with a knife opened the tent and walked in while speaking, his eyes swept straight at Pei Lie. The two were about the same age , but the other party showed too obvious hostility, Pei Lie subconsciously clenched the sword at his waist.

The person who came was Shen Junli, the great general of hussars.Mencius waved his hand at him, signaled to wait a moment, and said to Pei Lie: "Xiangyang, don't bother. My situation is actually similar to Lord Cheng. Duke Cheng ordered you to attack Luoyi with Qingqi, and the people in the east of Luoyi The guards at Hulao Pass are being led to Xuchang by Yanfeng, if Xuchang falls, your lord will also be attacked on both sides."

"This..." Pei Lie was momentarily at a loss for words.When he saw Mencius Ying's face sinking like water, the awe accumulated over the years welled up in his heart, and he suddenly fell into an ice cellar.He actually forgot who this person was.The world-renowned Shu Emperor Mencius Ying, although the imperial court did not recognize him, but after all, he came from the strong military town, holds the military power of Xichuan, and is one of the most powerful contenders for Jiangshan Sheji.Times have changed, and he is no longer their elder brother Ziying.

"My lord Cheng Guogong and I have already agreed that Xijing will belong to whoever enters Luoyi first. It doesn't matter if you are willing to help me or not, as long as we don't cross the river."

Hearing that they had an agreement long ago, Pei Lie couldn't make a decision at the moment. Thinking of Bai Yansheng's warning before leaving, he cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, wait until I go back to discuss with the soldiers. During this period, Pei Lie will not interfere with anything else." Your army."

Mencius nodded and told him to leave the account.Shen Junli asked curiously: "Your Majesty, who is this person? After running a long distance from Yongjing, he was able to catch up with our footsteps to Luoyi, and it was only half a day before and after." Mencius Ying said: "His name is Pei Lie, Hailing Duke Pei A member of the Xiu clan, he is the orphan of Pei Du, the vice general of the Jingzhou defense." Shen Junli took a breath: "Most of the Pei Xiu clan died at the hands of the King of Shu, and Jingzhou fell to Xichuan in the Chongming year of Jingzhou. It's fine if you don't stick a knife in your back, how can you expect him to join us in attacking Luoyi?"

Meng Ziying shook her head, did not answer this question, but walked out of the handsome tent directly.The old friend in Linxi is the same as the vast Cangshan Mountain there, which is the eternal pure land in his heart.

He raised his eyes and saw that in front of Luoyi city, there were many people gathered, all under the banner of Xiao Clan.In the city of Luoyi, the recruits stand side by side, and the pagodas are parallel.Although it was outside the city, the sound of Baoduo clanging and clanging could be heard in the wind from the north, the sky was clear and bright, not very chilling.

Xiao Yuan Zaojiu town Luoyi, the city is mixed with Hu and Han, the situation is complicated.Even though there are Xichuan's elites and the imperial conquest, they may not be able to break through the city immediately.I'm afraid that the Xianbei army will not be able to hold on, and Xiangyang will be tight again, so it will be difficult.

Meng Ziying's side was preparing to attack the city in full swing, while Pei Lie on the other side also returned to his army.He sent a letter to Bai Yansheng, and told Liu Songnian the general situation.Liu Songnian sighed unceasingly: "Even Emperor Yuan Chongming's five random wars, he had never seen such a big battle. From Youxu to Chang'an, from Yanmen Pass to the Yangtze River, in the Great Xia, Western Shu and Northern Yan, there are already 50 troops. Join this battle. After this battle, the pattern of the world will definitely change greatly."

Is there a great order after the chaos, or is it that the sky never tires of chaos and chaos adds chaos?The two looked at each other, and the spring breeze from Luoyi blew on their faces, carrying the smell of bloody gunpowder smoke, and the burning pain made the blood of the two born warriors boil.

Besides, in Luoyi City, the person staying behind is a clan disciple under Xiao Yuanzao's command, named Xiao Bo, who is the most calm and calm in middle age.Today Xichuan and Xiachao two armies arrived, and the army was divided, so he dared not act rashly.When one of his subordinates wanted to go out to fight in the city, he flatly refused, saying: "The enemy is new and in full swing, so it's not good to fight lightly. Let's watch his movements, and then we can talk."

In fact, he has made up his mind to be a tortoise, and just wait for the good news from Xiangyang, and the siege under the city will be solved by itself.So from noon to night, he didn't care about the loud drumming and shouting outside the city, and he just focused on fighting Shuanglu in the government office.It wasn't until late in the evening that a small soldier stumbled and wailed and howled to report: "Deputy General Xiao refused to listen to dissuasion and went out of the city to fight. He was stabbed by a sword and fell off his horse. The enemy has already straightened his horse and rushed to the bottom of the city."

Xiao Bo was shocked, stood up quickly, brought down the chessboard, trembling with anger, "Who opened the city gate and let him go out?" Yes, if there are melons who vent their anger on their subordinates, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable.He changed his words and asked: "Who is the opponent? How long have you been fighting and how is the battle going?" He knew his son well. Although he was brave and foolish, his martial arts were superior to those of others.

The little soldier speculated on his face, and said submissively: "I heard that in just one round, Deputy General Xiao was picked off..."

Xiao Bo's face was pale, he was forty years old, and he only had this beloved son under his knees.So he suppressed his emotions, immediately put on his armor and armor, and rode his horse up to the tower.When we reached the city wall, it was already dusk, and the city was covered in darkness, the number of people was not that many, but connected end to end, it was the Changshan Snake Formation in "The Classic of Martial Arts".

The leader is one person and one rider, wearing a purple gold crown, wearing a Xichuan brocade robe with hundreds of flowers, a sword hanging on his waist, and a silver whip in his hand.It was obviously the season of Mengchun, Xiao Bo looked at him, his whole body was cold, there are only seven words to describe it: Shooting the Condors, the wind is swift, the snow is cold, and the flowers are cold.Someone around him pointed out: "Deputy General Xiao died under the whip of this person."

Before Xiao Bo had time to speak, other city guards shouted: "General, please order me to go out of the city to fight, and I swear to avenge the little general!" If you don't obey the military order, death is not a pity! When the general of the Zhu Kingdom went south, he ordered me to guard Luoyi strictly. The lonely and poor army came here from a long distance, so they had to go out of the city to invite battle. Immediately cut without pardon!"

His stern words stunned all the soldiers on the tower, many of them had red eyes and gritted their teeth.A Han general came forward and said: "General, this man is Xichuan Mencius Ying. The imperial conquest is not easy to dismiss. It is not indecent to come and go. Why not meet him for a while, general, to find out the truth." This person's surname is Chen, his name is Wu, and his style name is Zilie. He is a descendant of a famous local family in Luoyi, and Xiao Bo has always held him in high regard.Xianbei has been able to gain a firm foothold in Luoyi for many years, which has a lot to do with knowing people and making good use of them.

Xiao Bo sighed heavily, and said: "Zi Lie, don't talk about it, there will be a fierce battle in the future." After he finished speaking, he walked down the parapet, not even mentioning the funeral of his beloved son, and hurried to patrol and arrange.

Meng Ziying watched the movement on the city coldly, seeing that the opponent had no intention of fighting, and seeing that it was getting late, she ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and attack the city again in the next day.

Let's talk about the other side.About three days ago, Bai Yanfeng led [-] elite soldiers to storm Hulao and retreat back to Xuchang.Lonely Hu, who was guarding the pass, underestimated Yanfeng, and rushed forward greedily, chasing out of the pass, was cut off by Yanfeng's ambushes, had to flee to Xuchang, and joined the Dugu tribe who attacked Xuchang. As a result, the pressure on Xuchang suddenly increased. .

After the war, dozens of soldiers fell from the city of Xuchang to clean up the corpses in front of the gate.The guard, Yu Desheng's blood-stained shirt, straddled the top of the wall with one leg, leaning over to check the enemy's situation.Someone behind him shouted: "General, come down quickly, the enemy soldiers have not retreated, please prevent Liu Ya from hurting people!" Yu Desheng just sneered.

At dawn, Dugu Hu came to attack the city again.First push out a scout horse sent by Xuchang city last night to deliver a letter asking for help, and tie it in front of the army.The little soldier couldn't stand the torture, and shouted loudly, "Master Dugu, you are wise and mighty, please spare your life." Dugu Hu and a group of barbarians looked at them and laughed.

Yu Desheng looked on coldly, and asked the people around him, "Where is this child's hometown? Who else is there in the family?" A soldier in the city tried to figure out his expression, and pleaded: "This man is sixteen years old, very energetic, and has never been arrested before. Lived. My family lives in an old shop 60 miles outside Xuchang City. There is a [-]-year-old mother and three younger siblings. When the war started, the whole family had already taken refuge in the city as hostages." Picking up the iron tire bow placed by the city wall, nocking the arrows to the string, and drawing a full moon, he said: "Send ten catties of gold and twenty bolts of brocade to his home. From now on, his home will be exempted from all exorbitant taxes." As soon as the words fell, A feather with a whistle shot out, hitting the soldier's throat, cutting off his begging voice.The soldiers all over the city tower were so frightened that their three souls fluttered and their seven souls flew up. They were both fearful and admiring, and their hearts were full of mixed emotions.

Dugu Hu was furious, raised his head and pointed at the city, and cursed in nonsense.Yu Desheng asked the people around him, "What is he scolding?" The man didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a low voice, "He scolded you, General, for being raised by a tortoise, and also scolded you for being a bandit and massacring your compatriots..."

Yu Desheng's eyes flickered sharply, and he shouted down: "Dugu Xiaohu, the talent is ordinary, he doesn't measure his virtue, and hangs the army for thousands of miles. Now the soldiers and teachers are tired, and they must be broken!"

I have a translator who is proficient in both languages ​​to speak to Duguhu.Dugu Hu burst into anger, and pointed with a sharp sword: "Kill, kill them all!"

Taking advantage of the wind, the Xianbei army fired rockets under the city, charging carts, shovels, and ladders in turn.Buckets of boiling water were poured down from the top of the city, and arrows flew wildly, but they still couldn't resist the offensive of the Xianbei people.All the guards guarding the city knew that there was no help from outside, so they fought with their backs and marched desperately, their armor stained with blood.

Yu Desheng cut down a barbarian, and retreated to the camp to catch his breath. Seeing the heavy casualties on the city and the gap getting wider, he ordered: "Where are the archers, come up again." Both left and right were covered in blood, and he smiled wryly: " There are only a few living people left in the city, how can anyone come?" Yu Desheng smashed the feather arrow on his arm with one hand, and used a sharp knife to form a cluster of iron arrows with flesh and blood, panting heavily, while He said: "Xuchang cannot fall. If Dugu Hu invades, the city will be slaughtered. The Lord is coming soon. It will last for a while."

He tied up the wound on his arm, took a deep breath, and jumped from the city wall.The left and right garrison soldiers turned pale with fright, and hurriedly chased to the crenel to watch.Yu Desheng used his lightness kung fu to plunder Duguhu on the horse from the chaotic army.In the blink of an eye, Dugu Hu held his long sword to attack, and said with a smile, "The turtle is out of its shell!" Yu Desheng blocked it with a sword, and said, "You can speak Chinese!" Dugu Hu chased after him: "You Han people know it, we all know it!"

The two fought close to each other, from horse to horse, regardless of the outcome.But after a hundred moves, Yu Desheng's old injury broke out, and he couldn't hold on anymore. A white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the long sword was picked out of his hand.He let out a mournful cry, and was about to kill him when suddenly a black shadow descended from the sky, split Dugu Hu with his palm, grabbed his armor, and dragged him back more than ten steps.He stood still and looked up, the tall and burly man in front of him, with a white helmet and white armor, was Cheng Guogong Bai Yansheng!

Not far away, thousands of horses are galloping, flags are densely covered, and the earth is shaking.Yu Desheng felt relieved, and knelt down on the ground.Bai Yansheng turned to look at him, his eyes showed admiration, and said, "Ah Yue, send General Yu back to the city to recuperate."

Yu Desheng's arm was suddenly pushed away, he turned his head and glanced, a Xia Bing with an expressionless face grabbed his arm with one hand and put his hand on his waist with the other, leading him step by step Go to the city gate.

Dugu Hu narrowed his eyes to see Bai Yansheng, cupped his hands and said, "I have admired the fame of my step. I missed the general in Shengle that day. If I can win a battle today, it doesn't matter if I die." The general's reputation is loud enough."

Xiao Rongyue took Yu Desheng to the city gate, and the guards at the top of the city let down the rope ladder.She tied Yu Desheng to the rope ladder, and the rope ladder went up. She turned her head and wanted to leave, but he grabbed her and said, "The outcome has been decided, and I can't help you if you go back. You might as well come to the city." Xiao Rongyue knew that he was Afraid that if he helped Lone Hu, it would harm Bai Yansheng, so he had no choice but to follow him to the top of the city.

At that time, the fierce battle was in full swing, but the overall situation was settled.The morale of the [-] elite soldiers brought by the sound of white geese was high, and they had already divided and surrounded the Yan army in the city like chopping melons and vegetables. The Yan army was exhausted for a long time and was instantly defeated.

Xiao Rongyue saw from a distance that Bai Yansheng knocked Dugu Hu to the ground after a hard fight, she wanted to go to the city in a moment of impatience, Yu Desheng held her tightly, and said with a strange smile: "Miss Princess, it's better to avoid suspicion at this time." She Looking back, after Dugu Hu opened his mouth to say a few words, Bai Yansheng raised his hand and chopped off his head.

There was thunderous cheers at the head of Xuchang City, and everyone shouted: "We won, we won!" Yu Desheng also let go of the hand that was holding Xiao Rongyue, unconsciously beaming with joy.

It is easier said than done to regard death as home. The ancients spoke big words when they were dying.

Xiao Rongyue stared blankly at everything in front of her, feeling extremely bitter in her heart.
