General Chu

Chapter 21

Since the surprise attack, 30 people have fallen down one after another in the Zhou camp, and every night the voices of the people die down, and there will be groans from the military tents. It is the poisoned people doing it. The final struggle was the legendary sound of guts piercing through the stomach.The voice was getting lower and lower day by day, it didn't look like a human groaning, but like the wind blowing through the withered pine trees, and the ghosts who couldn't find a home were gathered in the sky floating around above Zhou Ying.They all know their ending, and they know that they are about to use their lives to achieve an unprecedented and unprecedented General Tomb.

This is the cruelest part of war, but it is not up to one person to decide whether to fight or not. The generals can only move forward with their sharp knives while feeling extremely sad.They look back at every step but still can only ride forward. Overwhelmed by their personal sense of powerlessness in the face of history, they wish with the greatest malice that the enemy army will be defeated and the general will be killed.

One will be a million bones.

For a long time, the guards in Xuancheng were tightly guarded. After the storm was fruitless, Zhou Tianzi ordered his subordinates to relax their guard and wait for the tiger eclipse army to attack again.

"They'll play catch and catch if they dare," he said.

Hundreds of thousands of people in the Zhou camp waited eagerly for the so-called sneak attack. They waited for a long time but did not get it. Until one day, the soldier on the watchtower changed his eyesight. He squinted his eyes for a while and said, There seems to be no one left.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and murmured, could it be that my eyes are dazzled?

When the news reached Zhou Tianzi, he frowned and said in a deep voice, chase after him.

There is a lot of water in Chu, and there is water everywhere in the south of the border town.Even so, there are not many big rivers, only small streams accompanied by large swamps and dangerous shoals.If one accidentally steps in, there will be no bones left.

Within a month, all the people and troops withdrew, and Xuancheng became an empty city.Zhou Tianzi led people across Xuancheng and followed the horseshoe marks on the wetland all the way.This time, he mobilized soldiers from three vassal states in order to wipe the entire Chu state from the map and bring Chu Zi back to Haojing to create another vassal.Unexpectedly, the Chu people's stubborn resistance dragged on until today, and he suffered heavy losses.

This is unprecedented in the history of the Zhou Dynasty, so he had to fight this battle whether he fought it or not, and he had to fight when the arrow was ready.

That day, Mo Wen and his men dug a brook and then blocked it up. When the hoe came back at dusk, he saw lights in the main tent.When the servant saw him coming back, he trotted over and whispered in his ear, Ming Shuai, the king is here.

The light in his eyes dimmed for a moment, he stepped in, bowed his head and said, Your Majesty, my humble servant came late to greet you.

Xu Liwenyuan stood up from his seat, looked at him in a daze, raised his hand and waved the servant back.

"Ming Rong." He was about to walk up to La Mo Wen, Mo Wen took half a step back and said in a hoarse voice, the long-distance travel must be very tiring, and the marching time is uncertain and the road is bumpy. If you have time to rest, sleep well.

After speaking, he quickly walked out of the main tent and went to the next tent.

The general in the tent heard the voice and turned his head to see that Mo Wen was frightened half to death, trembling, wondering what crime the general committed deserves to be questioned late at night by Ming Shuai?

Mo Wen sat directly on the couch, closed his eyes and meditated while saying, I will arrange another military tent tomorrow, and I will squeeze with you first today.

The general said with a terrified and bitter smile, Ming Shuai is too polite, you sleep, I will stand guard for you.

Mo Wen opened his eyes to look at him, and said in a deep voice, what are you afraid of?Or, do you hate me?

What can he do?He could only express his fear in extreme horror.So that night, he trembled and slept in the same bed with Mo Wen. Although it was the same bed, there was a thousand miles between the two of them.A well-built man leaned against the edge of the bed for a whole night in aggrieved condition, and the next day his back ached and he doubted his life.

The people under him asked him, what's wrong with you, general?

He said with a wry smile that I must have made some mistake that I didn't realize to suffer like this.

Xu Liwenyuan came out of the main tent and stood in the distance listening to them talking about the main tent of the Chinese army in a low voice. After standing there for a while, he suddenly couldn't remember that he rowed a broken boat a few days ago and firmly believed that he would be able to avoid the swamp and find the tiger eclipse. Where did the confidence of the army stationed on the island go?

He watched helplessly as another military tent was set up in the open space in the distance, and he knew clearly in his heart that Mo Wen had no intention of seeing him, so he could only put out the candles early every day and stand in his tent in the dark when Mo Wen came back with his people. Watch quietly for a while in the corner in front of you.

That day Mo Wen came back late, Xu Liwenyuan heard them returning to the camp when the moon rose to the middle of the sky, and after everyone packed up and slept, Xu Liwenyuan saw that the candles in Mo Wen’s tent were still lit and passed by involuntarily. When he lifted the curtain, he bumped into Mo Wen who came out.

Mo Wen instinctively stretched out his hand to grab the neck of the person in front of him, and let go immediately after he saw the person coming. He said coldly, don't show up in front of my tent in the middle of the night, if I didn't come out to see and just threw a sword, it would be a catastrophe .

Xu Liwenyuan suppressed his throat and coughed twice, then smiled sarcastically, and said, if one day you can't even recognize my figure and kill me by mistake, then I will be willing.

Mo Wen frowned tightly and asked, what's the matter?

"I came to the frontier thousands of miles to see you, to tell you that no matter what happens, the love you said has never changed. If you have doubts or don't believe it, come to me, don't hide."

"Okay, I see. The camp will be moved tomorrow, you should go back to sleep first."

Xu Li Wenyuan sneered, suddenly leaned forward and bit Mo Wen's upper lip, and after biting, he sucked the blood oozing from it.

Mo Wen stood still, and when he finally backed away, there was still no response and he said lightly, this is the military camp.

After Xu Li Wenyuan shook his sleeves and left, Mo Wen stayed under the moonlight for a while, the cold wind blowing on his body made him wake up a lot, and he lightly licked the corner of his lips.

There is a little astringency and a little pain, but it is a very heavy astringency and a deep, deep pain.

Mo Wen didn't say that he met Zhou Tianzi on the waterway that day.

The two of them watched for a while across the river bank, and Zhou Tianzi said to him, I am tired of playing the cat-and-mouse game so far, so you hand over Chu Zi and let Gu take him away, and then withdraw your troops.

Mo Wen stood still, Zhou Tianzi finally got tired of waiting and added weakly, Gu knew he was here, you asked him to come out to meet Gu in your army, we can discuss anything.

Mo Wen's face was pale, he shook his head lightly, and asked in a low voice, knowing that he came from thousands of miles to find me, what are you still fantasizing about?Do you want him to surrender voluntarily and you make him a prince and everyone is happy?Have you ever asked about the sword in my hand?Did you ask the tiger eclipse army behind me?

As soon as the words fell, the tiger eclipse army behind him raised their weapons and shouted in unison.

Zhou Tianzi, who has always been arrogant and unreasonable, seemed a little tired. He just stood quietly for a while and then left. He didn't even bother to find a boat to cross the river.

After thinking aimlessly, Mo Wen had already forgotten the reason why he just came out, turned around and went back to the tent and lay down on the couch to sleep.

For several days in a row, Mo Wen was busy building ships and digging canals to control the waterways. He hadn't seen Xu Liwenyuan for a long time.When I came back, I heard that Xu Li Wenyuan had returned to Tianliang.He nodded slightly and said nothing.

That night, Mo Wen was in a daze and fell asleep very early, until the spies came to report the next morning that Zhou Tianzi took people on board those boats that had been tampered with yesterday. More than half of the group of people who got on the boat were killed or injured. Zhou Tianzi fell into the water and was not rescued.

In the end, the master of tigers and wolves, who died without a leader, could only scatter like birds and beasts. Zhou Tianzi threatened to attack the million people brought by Chu, and only less than 50 were left when they retreated.But Mo Wen's Tiger Erosion Army suffered almost negligible losses except for Su Yingmiao's death.

The Lord of the World died, and there was no solemn funeral, no tens of thousands of condolences, and only a few voices of mourning.In his whole life, he had been so reckless that he never expected to have millions of soldiers but not even meet the people he wanted to see. Thinking about it, it should be a pity.

Half a month later, Mo Wen returned to Tianliang with the news of his victory. That day he led Caixia up the thousand stone steps, and nodded to Xu Liwenyuan who had been waiting in front of the Chonghua Hall, His Majesty, I still heard that the ancestors were entrusted to the Two swords were forged here, one Neon and the other Luoyue, and now Luoyue has been buried deep in the ground with Yingmiao. Can you give me the Neon sword?

Xu Liwenyuan came down from his high position, stepped forward to straighten the back of the bowed man, and said, "Everything in the world, is there anything you don't want?"

Before and after, those who can be demoted from the emperor, looking at the 800 years of Chu State, there is no more than one person.But Mo Wen, who was standing side by side with Chu Zi, who was gradually dominating the Central Plains that day, showed no expression at all. He paused and said, there are always some things that are undesirable, so in this world, all I want is this sword.

Xu Liwenyuan was dressed in a black robe, with three golden phoenix claws showing his teeth and claws. He waved his sleeve vigorously and said, I beg you to look at me desperately, and I will give you what you can, so what are you awkward about? ?

When this sentence spread, all officials lowered their heads in panic and looked at the ground.

Mo Wen paused, and said, that time in front of Luoyun Palace you asked me what I really want, Your Majesty, what if I want this world? "If the lonely king gives you this world, how much can you give the lonely king with your heart?"

Mo Wen looked at him steadfastly, and said in a hoarse voice, "No, I can't give you a single point."

Xu Liwenyuan paused for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing. After laughing, he told Wu Jizhou behind him to fetch the neon sword from the dark cell of the lonely king's bedroom.

Wu Jizhou was ordered, and trotted to and trotted back, offering things tremblingly.Xu Liwenyuan took it, held it with both hands and handed it to Mo Wen, and said with a smile, in this case, the lonely king of the world will not give it to him, but General Mo is kind and considerate of the hardships of the people in our Great Chu who have been fighting for years, and the gold and silver fields Neither, so Gu Wang gave the sword to General Mo today.I hope my general is really happy with this sword.

Mo Wen took the sword and took a few steps back to stand among the officials.

Seeing that Mo Wen's gaze had moved away from him, Xu Liwenyuan couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Our Chu army is capable of fighting, and we can push back the inevitable Emperor Zhou. All the officials who have made meritorious service in this battle will be promoted today." Jin Jue.

In those few days, Xu Liwenyuan gave him a lot of rewards, almost all the officials in the court were honored, red lanterns were hung in front of every house, and Tianliang City was so lively that it seemed like it was Chinese New Year.

Mo Wen dismissed everyone in the mansion, and stayed alone in the empty general's mansion, waking up and going back to sleep all day long.
