The protagonist is always seen

Su Lingran was there at the time, Kuai Ma could turn around and rescue his wife and children in two moments, but he couldn't.

He must lead people to cut off the retreat of the barbarians from behind the enemy, surround them in the city, and together with the urgently dispatched army, encircle and suppress the barbarians trapped in the city.

The border town guarded by Su Lingran is the outermost edge of the frontier fortress and the first line of defense of the Jin Kingdom. He has always attached great importance to it, and it has always been heavily guarded, even his residence is there.

It's just that the new generals insisted on sending a large number of troops to the north to station. There is a natural danger in the north, and it is difficult for the barbarians to overcome it. Only a few thousand guards are enough.

On the contrary, the border city where they are located, although it is unremarkable, does not occupy a large area, and does not even have a name, but the terrain is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and behind the city is the town of Jin State. , The state of Jin behind him opened up to the enemy without hindrance, and the people who bear the brunt of it are countless people of the state of Jin.

But the new general came at the emperor's order, so he had no choice but to compromise, and instead arranged a stricter sentinel.

However, within half a month of the deployment of troops, the barbarians planned a siege, targeting the border town where Su Lingran was located.

In addition, there were traitors in the city. As soon as the raid started, the city gate was opened from the inside, and hundreds of sentinels were killed without being noticed. Many soldiers were beheaded by the barbarians who rushed in while they were asleep. The tight defense was immediately disintegrated from the inside.

At that time, Su Lingran was in the barracks, with thousands of cavalry under his command. At that time, not long after the troop deployment was completed, a lot of official duties were waiting for him to deal with, and he was in the barracks for food and lodging.

When the enemy attacked at night, he led thousands of people to break out of the siege and rush out of the city.

The thousand men he brought were his last hope. He made a risky move and decided to go around to the rear to cut off the enemy's retreat with only a few thousand cavalry.

The city has already been breached, there are fires everywhere, there are cries and wailing everywhere, many soldiers, wives and parents are in the city, some people can't help but slow down, he said, those who leave the team will be killed without mercy.

The moment the words come out, something dies.

He didn't dare to stop for a moment, he was afraid that if he stopped, he couldn't help but fight with them and die together.

When everything was a foregone conclusion, the barbarians were defeated and retreated from the city. The whole army retreated ten miles, and set up camp to rest. rush back.

Everyone didn't talk nonsense, they just kept whipping their horses in silence. The soldiers guarding the city were newly transferred, and they saw them from a distance. They didn't have a token to enter the city, and they didn't ask to dismount. Open the door to meet this team of bloody heroes.

They entered the city and dispersed in tacit agreement. Everyone knew what they were going to do, and they were going home, if there were any.

The city was looted, Su Lingran rode through the city, and there were groups of soldiers in the city who started to clean up the mess slowly, but on the way he still saw a woman in disheveled clothes holding a charred corpse Howling loudly, I saw corpses piled up in the corners of the streets and alleys, and I saw the tongues of flames licking the taverns I usually go to.

Su Lingran still didn't stop, he didn't even realize what he saw, he couldn't think anymore, but he thought a lot at that time.

It's hard to imagine, at that time he still thought a lot, a lot of messy things, he thought of the embroiderer in the mansion who made a pair of tiger shoes for the unborn child, it was so small, he could do it with one hand Picking up two, he thought of his wife's back when she got up early and painted her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror. Her head was full of blue hair, and his heart was moved by her beauty. She turned her head and smiled at him, saying that he was truly stunning when his hair was covered with black hair. He remembered that a willow tree finally lived in the yard, and it had just sprouted new shoots this spring.

He stopped in front of the mansion, and when he staggered in, he saw a man standing in the courtyard, wearing a gray shirt, holding a bone fan, and wearing a black silk scarf on his head. Guard up.

The person in the courtyard is his adviser, Qing Xiao, this person is good at arranging troops, he is cautious, and he is careful in every aspect, and he is also the one who reported to him this time, probably the first time he entered the city, Qing Xiao was alone, It's nothing to worry about, he has always been careful, and he must have expected it a long time ago.

When Qing Xiao saw him, he didn't say anything, but lowered his head, took two steps back, and knelt down on one knee, and all the soldiers behind Qing Xiao also knelt down in unison, and the sound of armor clashing was a bit dull.

Su Lingran's helmet had been lost a long time ago, blood was all over his face and hair, and the armor on his body was also covered with coagulated blood. He was holding a gun in his hand, and he still didn't put it down.

He walked around them trying to walk slowly down the corridor.

Qing Xiao said suddenly.

"General."

Su Lingran stopped, but didn't look back.

"What's the matter?"

Qing Xiao was silent for a while before saying.

"nothing."

It was he who was stunned, thinking about that scene was too cruel for a person, but this person was his coach.

Su Lingran was walking on the road, and people gave way everywhere he passed, but there were no corpses on the road, no matter if they belonged to the mansion or the barbarian soldiers, but there were still bloodstains on the ground, presumably Qing Xiao came to take care of it in advance .

He came to his yard as usual and stopped at the gate of the yard.

Qing Xiao said softly.

"I dare not move rashly."

He only sent two soldiers to guard the courtyard gate, and the rest remained unchanged.

Su Lingran's voice was a little hoarse.

"well done."

He walked up to her, thrust the dick obliquely into the ground, and knelt down.

Su Lingran covered her with the cloak, kissed her pale lips tremblingly, and rubbed against her ears, his voice hoarse.

"In my next life, I won't wear this armor, and I won't be this general."

Her clothes were torn, her belly was cut open, and her face was pale. The night wind blew past, so she must be very cold.

That war lasted for three years.

She was hastily buried by him in the frontier fortress.

From then on, Su Lingran was just a general.

"General?"

Su Lingran recovered, smiled at the black armored guard who looked at him suspiciously, and said.

"It's nothing, I just remembered some past events, let's go, my lord should be in a hurry."

With that said, he went out without any hesitation.

He took the black armor guard and went to a famous restaurant in Beijing, and went to a private room.

The person sitting at the table inside was still wearing a bone fan and wearing a gray shirt. When he saw Su Lingran coming in, he smiled slightly.

"I said why you came so late, you went to that tavern to buy wine again."

As he spoke, he took the black armored guard with the wine in his hand.

Su Lingran loved wine very much when he was young, and drank all the taverns in Shangjing. He loved the spicy shochu in that tavern the most, and bought it every time he came back.

Su Lingran didn't make any excuses, she sat opposite him, turned over a glass, put it in front of her, and signaled Qing Xiao to pour wine for him.

But the young black armor guard couldn't help complaining a few words.

"My lord, it's not that the general is late, the general has already left the house today, but I just met—"

Su Lingran raised his hand and the black armored guard reluctantly shut up.

Qing Xiao shook his head, but he didn't ask any further questions. He was never a good person. Su Lingran was late, and the people around him had already arrived. He teased him while pouring wine for him.

"Everyone praises you for being first-class and good-looking, who knew that their good general still looks like such a rascal."

Su Lingran didn't speak, but closed his eyes and leaned back.

There was some worry on Qing's smiling face.

"What? Still can't sleep at night?"

Since returning to Beijing, Su Lingran hasn't had a good night's sleep. He is not used to the wind from the frontier, the howling of lone wolves, and the sound of swords colliding.

Su Lingran opened his eyes.

"Well, it's getting better these few days, I guess I'll get used to it in a few days."

Qing Xiao pushed the wine in front of Su Lingran, trying to tell him to drink less, but in the end he still didn't speak.

Su Lingran drank it down in one gulp. No matter what he did, after all these years in the military camp, he had acquired some military habits. He also liked to pour down big bowls of alcohol. Don't worry, he said half-jokingly.

"The adults who don't like these lively places all the year round will buy me a drink one day. I don't think it's right. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I don't have so much time to accompany you around."

Qing Xiao wasn't shy either.

"What's the matter? This isn't a frontier fortress. It's Mrs. Chen. She has been looking for me for several days. Let me advise you to hold a birthday party this year. I heard that her post has already been written, and I'm waiting for you." Nodded, she was urging me so hard, I couldn't shirk it, so I'll come to you today to persuade you."

Su Lingran sighed, took the wine jar on the table with one hand, and poured it into his mouth.

The wine flowed down his neck into his clothes, and he put the wine jar on the table violently.

"Tell her, let's do it, just take care of her heart, and people like me won't harm other people's daughters."

Qing Xiao caressed the bone fan in her hand.

"You don't have to be like this. It's good to find someone to be your companion and leave an heir. After all, it's been so many years."

Su Lingran smiled.

"Let me find a companion, you are not alone."

After he finished speaking, he got up, took the wine jar, turned around and left, even with such an insolent appearance carrying the wine jar, he acted with elegance.

Yes, for so many years, he even forgot what she looked like, he only remembered that she was a soft woman like the water in the south of the Yangtze River, so why, he still felt like yesterday?

He stumbled and ran over, seeing blood all over the ground, and then heartbroken.
