mountain and river oath

Shu Zilan woke up, he opened his eyes, looked at the familiar furnishings, and realized that he had returned to the camp.

"My lord is awake!" A surprised voice rang in my ear, Shu Zilan raised her eyes and saw that it was Wang Lu.

"Where's your Highness?" Shu Zilan said in a hoarse voice.

"I'll call His Highness now," Wang Lu said happily.

Shu Zilan wanted to stop him, but Wang Lu had already run out. After a while, the curtain was lifted, and a figure walked in. Shu Zilan quickly closed her eyes, suddenly feeling shy, and didn't know how to face Zhao Jing.

"You're awake" Zhao Jing said while sitting beside Shu Zilan.

Shu Zilan closed her eyes.

Zhao Jing laughed out loud, "Your eyelashes move so much."

"I didn't." Shu Zilan opened her eyes and said dissatisfied.

"I lied to you," Zhao Jing said while looking at Shu Zilan.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing, not knowing what to say, the relationship between them seemed to be friends, but something changed quietly, which made it difficult for him to adapt for a while.

"Does it still hurt?" Zhao Jing asked.

Shu Zilan shook her head slightly.

Zhao Jing brought a bowl of water from the table next to him and said, "Drink some water."

"I'm not thirsty" Shu Zilan said.

"The doctor told you to drink some water after you wake up," Zhao Jing said.

"I don't drink," Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Jing ignored Shu Zilan's resistance, lifted Shu Zilan from behind, and held her in his arms

Shu Zilan struggled dissatisfied

"Don't move, watch out for the wound to open," Zhao Jing warned.

Shu Zilan didn't dare to move anymore, and looked at Zhao Jing dissatisfied.

Zhao Jing laughed out loud.

Shu Zilan thought Zhao Jing was too annoying,

"Drink some water." Zhao Jing took the bowl and brought it to Shu Zilan's mouth.

Shu Zilan stared at Zhao Jing dissatisfied, Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan, and said, "I know you are thirsty, why make things difficult for yourself?"

Shu Zilan remained silent, lowered her head to drink water, and after drinking a bowl of water, Zhao Jing put Shu Zilan on the bed, Shu Zilan closed her eyes immediately, Zhao Jing sat on the bedside and looked at Shu Zilan, covering the quilt for him, Shu Zilan Lan closed her eyes, after a long time Zhao Jing turned and walked out, Shu Zilan opened her eyes, feeling slightly relaxed.

Shu Zilan didn't see Zhao Jing all day, Wang Lu stayed by Shu Zilan's side all day long, taking good care of Shu Zilan.

When it was time to light the lamp, Wang Lu set out the food on the table, Zhao Jing came in with the curtain lifted, Wang Lu bowed and retreated, Zhao Jing sat beside Shu Zilan, and said, "Is it better?"

Shu Zilan nodded.

"Let's eat." Zhao Jing scooped up a bowl of porridge for Shu Zilan, holding the spoon to feed Shu Zilan.Shu Zilan shook his head, Zhao Jing put down the bowl, looked at Shu Zilan and asked, "Are you going to starve yourself to death?"

"Let Wang Lu come in," Shu Zilan said.

"Why is Wang Lu okay and I can't?" Zhao Jing said dissatisfiedly.

Shu Zilan remained silent.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said "Wang Lu" for a long time

Wang Lu hurried in from the door,

"You serve the young master to eat," Zhao Jing said.

"Your Highness, this..." Wang Lu looked at Zhao Jing hesitantly.

Zhao Jing nodded.

Wang Lu picked up the spoon and carefully fed Shu Zilan, who ate slowly.

"Eat, I'm full," Zhao Jing said, turning around to go out.

"Zhao Jing" Shu Zilan suddenly called out.

Wang Lu hurriedly put down the bowl, and walked out quickly.

Zhao Jing stopped and did not look at Shu Zilan.

"Sit down and eat," Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Jing hesitated, finally turned around and walked to Shu Zilan's side

"Eat something first." Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said.

"I can't eat it." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan in silence.

Shu Zilan lowered her eyebrows.

"Let's eat," Zhao Jing sighed after a long time.

Shu Zilan was silent.

"Eat," Zhao Jing said loudly.

Shu Zilan glanced at Zhao Jing and said nothing.

Zhao Jing picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Shu Zilan, Shu Zilan took them clumsily, carefully holding the food, Zhao Jing didn't look at Shu Zilan, picked up the food and started eating, Shu Zilan ate slowly, Zhao Jing picked up a pair of chopsticks Put the dish into Shu Zilan's bowl, Shu Zilan carefully ate it, Zhao Jing's tight mouth showed a smile, Shu Zilan followed suit.

After Zhao Jing finished eating, she sat on the side and patiently waited for Shu Zilan to eat. Shu Zilan put down her chopsticks, rinsed her mouth, leaned against the head of the bed, and looked at the bed curtain with her eyes open.

"Who is the guard at Liangguan now?" Shu Zilan asked.

"Yin Da" Zhao Jing said.

"How many defenders are there at Liangguan?" Shu Zilan asked.

"About 1 people," Zhao Jing said.

"When will the siege start?" Shu Zilan asked.

"Tomorrow" Zhao Jing said.

"How are you going to attack?" Shu Zilan turned to look at Zhao Jing and said.

"What's your plan?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said.

Shu Zilan shook her head, "Liangguan City is high and deep, as long as Yin Da sticks to the city, we have nothing to do."

"We can only attack hard," Zhao Jing said solemnly.

"Did Prince Moge catch it?" Shu Zilan asked.

Zhao Jing nodded and said, "I caught it, and they will be escorted over the day after tomorrow. You mean to use Moge to coerce Yin Da to open the city gate?"

Shu Zilan's expression was solemn, and he pondered for a long time and said, "I don't know if Yin Da will agree, not to mention that when Liangguan was occupied by Rouran, half of the people in Liangguan fled, and some people stayed in Liangguan. People, maybe they will use the people of Liangguan to threaten us to release Prince Moge, will you let him go?"

Zhao Jing remained silent.

"If you don't care about the people of Liangguan, Yin Da will definitely open the city gate to save Moge. If you save the people of Liangguan and release Moge, we will be in a disadvantageous position and can only attack by force? Save or not?"

"Save" Zhao Jing said firmly.

A stone hanging in Shu Zilan's heart suddenly fell down. He didn't know why he had to ask Zhao Jing, whether he was testing him or asking himself whether he had Zhao Jing's courage and determination if he encountered the same situation.

"How do you explain to the court?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said.

Zhao Jing shook his head.

Shu Zilan's heart is heavy. If Zhao Jing releases Prince Moge, the prince and King Yu will definitely take the opportunity to make a big fuss. Zhao Jing's situation is very unfavorable. "How long can our food and grass last?"

"Ten days," Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan sighed deeply, although they won, the situation in front of them is not good at all, "Can Liangguan be captured within ten days?"

Zhao Jing shook his head slightly.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing, feeling that the situation was heavy for each other.

"Forget it, if we can catch Mog once, we can catch him twice. From tomorrow onwards, we will speed up our offensive," Zhao Jing said.

"That's the only way to go," Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and hesitated to speak.

Shu Zilan lowered her eyebrows.

Zhao Jing sighed slightly, "You rest, I'm leaving"

Shu Zilan remained silent and watched Zhao Jing go out.

The next day, Zhao Jing led [-] soldiers and set up an army formation under Liangguan City. The soldiers were lined up neatly in armor, and their swords shone sharply.

A burly man drew his bowstring, and an arrow quickly pierced through the air and nailed it to the top of Liangguan.

Yin Da, who was guarding the head of the Liangguan city, looked at the arrow and saw the orderly and dignified army below the city, and understood that Zhao Jing was acting on the first day he came here.

"General Yin Da, Prince Moge has been defeated, I advise you to open the city gate and surrender." Zhao Jing came out and said loudly.

"Bah, shameless villain, he only knows how to play tricks, if we have the ability, let's fight with dignity," Yin Da scolded in the city.

"The Rouran tribe occupied the territory of our Great Wei, killed the people of our Great Wei, and looted our treasures, who is the shameless person?" Zhao Jing looked at Yin Da at the top of the wall and said.

"You..." Yin Da was at a loss for words for a while, "I won't surrender, if you have the ability, you can break Liangguan and kill me," Yin Da said sonorously.

"Okay, let's fight a battle in an upright manner," Zhao Jinglang said in a loud voice.

"Wait until you attack Liangguan." Yin Da stopped talking to Zhao Jing and hurried down the wall, letting Zhao Jing shout whatever he wanted, but he didn't come out. He knew that he only had [-] soldiers in his hands, and he had to deal with Zhao Jing's [-] troops. Soldiers are undoubtedly attacking stones with eggs, but Liangguan City is high and deep, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the gates are closed tightly, be prepared to defend the city. What's more, Liangguan has enough food and can stay behind closed doors for two months. It won't be until that time, because a large part of their food and grass has been burned by Mog.

Zhao Jing ordered the soldiers to yell and curse outside the city, and he walked back to the big tent with a heavy heart. It was still the original camp, and he could still see the traces of the fire.

Zhao Jing wandered around in the camp with his head down. Unknowingly, he came to a place and looked up. It was Shu Zilan's big tent. After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Jing finally opened the curtain and walked in. Shu Zilan was drinking medicine. Seeing Zhao Jing come in, he raised his head and drank the medicine, the bitter medicine spread in his mouth, Shu Zilan's face wrinkled, Zhao Jing was amused by Shu Zilan's instant bitterness after a day of unhappiness,

"What are you laughing at?" Shu Zilan said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Lu hurriedly retreated.

Zhao Jing sat beside Shu Zilan's bed, handed a towel to Shu Zilan, Shu Zilan took it, and wiped the medicine stains from the corner of her mouth.

"Is it better?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and asked with concern.

"It's much better," Shu Zilan said.

He looked at Zhao Jing with a gloomy expression, knowing that things were not going well, "Did Yin Da leave the city?"

Zhao Jing nodded.

"We can only attack by force, the casualties are too heavy," Shu Zilan said.

"There is no other way, I have ordered to start climbing the city in two hours," Zhao Jing said.

"So urgent?" Shu Zilan asked in surprise.

Zhao Jing nodded.

Shu Zilan understood that their food and grass were almost gone, so they could only seize the time to attack the city.

Zhao Jing sat for a while and then went out.

Shu Zilan was awakened by the deafening shouts,

Seeing Shu Zilan wake up, Wang Lu hurriedly said, "Master, you're awake!"

"The siege has begun," Shu Zilan said.

"Yes" Wang Lu said, "My lord, I'll pour you some water"

Shu Zilan waved his hand, the ear-splitting shouts made him startled, and he was always uneasy.

Zhao Jing led the soldiers to attack the city from the bottom of the city, and the archers shot arrows in front of them to cover it. The soldiers in charge of climbing took the ladder and climbed up the ladder. Yin Da stood at the top of the city and ordered the soldiers to take stones and logs to aim at the ladder and smash it down. , One stone after another fell down, and before the soldiers on the ladder climbed up, they were hit by stones, fell in mid-air, and lost consciousness instantly.

"Shoot the arrow," Zhao Jing roared.

The arrows flew to the top of the city like locusts, and from time to time someone fell down from the top of the city. Taking advantage of the cover of the arrows, the climbing soldiers started the second round of climbing. Halfway through the climb, the rolling stone came down, screaming and screaming The sound sounded, and Zhao Jing watched the Wei soldiers fall from the ladder one by one, losing their lives, and felt sad. It had been two hours since the attack, and the two sides were in a stalemate. Zhao Jing ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and his heart was heavy. back to camp.

"Your Highness, it's time to eat," the attendant said cautiously.

"I don't want to eat, go out," Zhao Jing said displeased.

The attendant looked at Zhao Jing's majestic expression and didn't dare to say any more.

"Give it to me." Shu Zilan was sitting in a wheelchair, and Wang Lu pushed her into the big tent behind her.

"Go out," Zhao Jing said displeasedly when he heard the noise outside the door.

"Then I'm going out," Shu Zilan said.

Seeing Shu Zilan walk in, Zhao Jing was very surprised, "Why are you here?"

He looked at Wang Lu and said, "Young master's injury hasn't healed yet, how can you let him out?"

Wang Lu didn't dare to say, looking at Shu Zilan for help, Shu Zilan said, "I want to come out by myself"

Zhao Jing didn't dare to say Shu Zilan, Wang Lu put the food on the desk, and quietly left, Zhao Jing pushed Shu Zilan to the desk, he sat down on the floor, looked at Shu Zilan dissatisfied and said, "Your injury Not good, how did you come out?"

"It's too loud outside, I can't sleep," Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Jing was silent, he couldn't make the outside voice quieter.

"Not captured?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing with a gloomy expression.

Zhao Jing nodded, his expression was haggard and anxious, black stubble grew faintly around his lips.

"Eat something, and continue to attack the city tomorrow," Shu Zilan persuaded.

"You can eat some too." Zhao Jing picked up a bowl for Shu Zilan, filled the food and handed it to Shu Zilan, who stretched out her hand to take it.

The two of them finished their meal in silence. Wang Lu came in to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and brought in a bowl of black medicine. Shu Zilan frowned, took the bowl, and with the courage of a strong man breaking his wrist, raised his head and drank it down. Going down a bowl, the bitter concoction spreads in the mouth

"Eat something." Zhao Jing handed over a candied fruit.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing suspiciously, where did Zhao Jing get this thing in this turbulent place, "Where did it come from?" Shu Zilan asked.

"I sent someone to buy it," Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan took the candied fruit and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste of the candied fruit immediately washed away the bitterness of the medicine stain. Zhao Jing handed the small bowl with the candied fruit to Shu Zilan. He finished the bowl of candied fruit, Shu Zilan looked at the empty bowl, feeling a little embarrassed.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan with a smile, and said, "I still have some here, let Wang Lu take them for you tomorrow."

"Okay" Shu Zilan said, he really couldn't bear the bitterness of the medicine.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan, with a pleasant smile in the corner of his eyes, his posture was wanton, and the sound of Huajiao humming came from his ears, distant and desolate, Zhao Jing slowly closed his eyes.

Shu Zilan was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. The tea was filled with warm water vapor, which floated out from the blue teacup, blurring Shu Zilan's cheeks. He blew off the water vapor, took a small sip, and turned to look at Zhao Jing, With his eyes closed, he lay leisurely on the chair and slept soundly.

The night was getting thicker, and there was a lot of noise outside the tent. From time to time, the sound of footsteps could be heard. When Wang Lu walked in, Shu Zilan hurriedly waved his hand to stop him. Wang Lu looked at Zhao Jing, who was sleeping soundly, and tiptoed out.
