Luoshui Dongliu
Chapter 13
The current state of affairs, the gains and losses of Luo City affect the growth and decline of all forces.Over there, Gao Yuanchong watched with cold eyes, while Gao Yuanan marched westward with his troops, and here, the Yan army in the west wanted to pretend to attack Luocheng and steal Sishui secretly;
On this day, the sky suddenly turned cloudy, and the strong wind blew for half a day, but the clouds did not turn to see the sun. At night, the wind stopped and it began to rain again. When we got up the next morning, the sun was still covered by haze, and the temperature also dropped sharply. With the humidity, the patrolling guards in the camp were too cold to stop, and they couldn't help shivering when they stood still.
Pei Yu dressed lightly early in the morning, and rode out of the camp with only a document that he listened to, but he went straight to Longhua Mountain.
When I got off the horse at the foot of the mountain, I saw the Luo River flowing through it, and the grottoes were embedded in the Longhua Mountain on the north bank of it.Pei Yu walked up alone, and saw the stone statues in the cave from east to west. The statues in the first few caves were only half the height of a person.
He climbed up the mountain all the way, walked halfway up the mountain and looked back, he could already overlook a corner of Los Angeles from a high place.The terrain in the south of Luocheng is higher, while in the west there are several low-lying hills surrounding the low-lying area, facing the city wall, and Luoshui flows by.
Pei Yu looked at it for a while, then turned to look at a cave beside him, and then walked in.He had long heard of the reputation of the Buddha statues in the Longhuashan Grottoes.In fact, in terms of excavation time, the Maifengshan Grottoes in Tianshui County in the northwest are a hundred years earlier than here.It's just that most of the sculptures in it are clay sculptures supported by folks, without the solemn and noble demeanor of Longhua Mountain.
The light in the cave was already dim, and there was no sun in the rainy day. Those stone sculptures were hidden in the shadows, and the look of hope on the eyebrows and lips seemed to add a little more meaning.In addition to the sitting statue in the middle of this cave, there are also eight Jataka reliefs of Prince Mahasattva "giving up his life to feed the tiger" on the walls.Pei Yu squinted his eyes and looked up carefully, only to feel that the Mahasattva in the relief had a peaceful expression, and the king and his wife who lost their beloved son were full of grief, and couldn't help sighing.
I was feeling emotional, but I heard someone ask: "The benefactor?"
Pei Yu turned his head and saw that the person who came was an old monk, so he nodded his head slightly as a salute.
The monk said: "Why does the almsgiver sigh when he sees this stone sculpture?"
Pei Yu said: "Buddhas say that Mahasattva's sacrifice to feed a tiger is compassionate, but to his parents, isn't this an evil deed?"
The monk said: "If there is no good, why is it evil?"
Pei Yu said, "I would like to hear the details."
The monk said: "Mohe Sattva feeds the tiger not because of compassion, but out of nature. If there are no deliberate distractions in the heart and sacrifice the body to be benevolent, it is natural; if the heart is only thinking about compassion all the time, this mercy is artificial. So there is no need to be kind. Evil is just a true and false intention.”
Pei Yu laughed and said, "How do I know whether the flash in my mind is true or not?"
The monk said: "Buddhism says not to harm living beings is a compassionate heart. Isn't it compassionate for hunters in the mountains to hunt wild animals and feed their noble children? When you don't have the heart, the mountains and mountains are illusory. If you have the heart, a grain of sand can become a mountain and a river."
Pei Yu said: "If the great monk said that, as long as there is a reason for the bandits who block the road, can they be forgiven?"
The monk said with a smile: "My Buddha can forgive everything, but in this world, it has always been easy to forgive others, but difficult to forgive oneself."
After hearing this, Pei Yu nodded with a smile, and said, "The Great Monk is very eloquent. How dare you ask your honorable Dharma name, where can you practice? In the future, Pei Yu will bother you often."
The monk clasped his hands together and said: "Poverty is wise, and he is practicing in the meditation room in the mountains. If the benefactor wants to teach, the poor way is willing to wait."
When Pei Yu returned to the camp, a guard reported that Yu Chiyuan had invited him and was waiting in the tent.Pei Yu thought that he was going to talk about sending troops, so he went straight to the general's tent.
Seeing him, Yuchiyuan seemed to be more polite in his speech, Pei Yu looked around and asked, "Don't you see Lieutenant General Yuchi?"
Yu Chiyuan chuckled and said, "My younger brother is not very rich in the city, so please don't annoy him."
Pei Yu's expression was quite playful, he looked at him for a moment and said: "General, if you have something to say, just say it."
Yu Chiyuan's mind was uncertain.Going to Sishuiguan to stop the reinforcements, the besieging army must be divided.Wei Chiyuan at Sishui Pass naturally has to go out in person, and he doesn't worry about anyone else going.To continue the siege here is just to make no mistakes, so it's okay to hand it over to Yuchi.It's just that Pei Yu's whereabouts are not easy to decide, and Yu Chiyuan always feels that there is something wrong when he thinks about it.
Now that Pei Yu said this, he simply explained these two things in detail, and said: "In the opinion of the superintendent, which place is suitable to follow?"
Pei Yu thought for a moment and said, "I will go to Sishuiguan with the general. General Yuchi is in charge here alone, and there won't be much trouble."
After hearing this, Yu Chiyuan also felt a little more relaxed. If Yu Chizhong's impatient temper was here with Pei Yu, he would be afraid of trouble.It's just that Pei Yu followed him to Sishui Pass, not knowing that military matters could still be decided by himself.But despite all kinds of scruples, Yu Chiyuan had to weigh the importance of the matter, so he said with a smile: "The supervising army is not afraid of the hard work in front of the battle, so it's very good."
The defenders of Luocheng saw that the Xiyan army was on the dirt hill to the west of the city, and they built a wooden frame several feet high in a few days.The main general of our own side also visits the city every day, and has twice as many arrows as usual. Even the soldiers at the lowest level know that the battle will start in the next few days.
Since it rained all day in Los Angeles that day, the sky has turned from cloudy to sunny, and there is not even a cloud in the sky, especially at noon, when the sun scorches the bricks and stones of the city walls, and the helmets of the soldiers are bright and dazzling.
After noon that day, the sun was so white that it made people dizzy, and there were soldiers in the west city who couldn't help staring, their eyelids fighting desperately.While he was struggling, the person next to him grabbed him privately, and suddenly opened his eyes to see the guard Gu Yanbin patrolling over, he was so startled that he lost even half of his sleepiness.
Gu Yanbin had already seen someone sleepy and lazy, so he said in a stern tone: "When is this, you're still fooling around, don't you want your head?"
The dozing soldier hurriedly begged: "You little one slack off for a while, don't dare anymore."
Gu Yanbin said: "Do you think I want to kill you? You are so confused, you have been killed by the enemy long ago." He added, "You can't be sloppy, life and death on the battlefield is just a blink of an eye."
All the troops were busy saying yes, each of them was vigilant and did not dare to be lazy.While he was talking, he heard horses neighing and people screaming on the dirt hill outside the city. Looking outside, he saw a group of cavalry surrounded by a few general-looking people, and someone behind him was holding a flag with the word Yuchi written on it.
I saw several Xiyan soldiers running in front of the horses, shouting in unison: "Listen in the city, my general Yuchi has something to say, let your general go to the city to answer."
Gu Yanbin heard this, and while ordering people to go to Zhao Shen quickly, he also told the soldiers to shout out: "Whoever you are from the Xiyan Army, our leader is you, and you can meet him if you want?"
But it is said that the brothers Yuchiyuan, Yuchizhong and Pei Yu are on the mountain.Yu Chizhong could not help being annoyed when he heard the shouts from the top of the city: "Young man with a yellow mouth, what is he so crazy about?"
Pei Yu shook the reins and said leisurely: "It's reasonable to say that. Let's declare our family name and go directly to the city, so as to save the soldiers shouting and wasting effort." After crossing the horse's head, he lifted the horse and went down the hill to the city.Just as Yu Chiyuan was about to open his mouth to block, Yuchi said in the middle: "Brother is confused, it seems that we have no courage if you can't stop him, so we might as well go together."
Yu Chiyuan said: "Zhao Shen's arrow skills, if we go to his city, won't we be a living target?"
Yuchi said in the middle: "It's not that we are not afraid of being too poor, but we are afraid of it."
Yu Chiyuan snorted and said: "He is a literati, don't you know that swords and guns have no eyes?" He sighed again, but he couldn't help it, so he had to follow Pei Yu on his horse and go down to Luocheng City.
When people approached the city, they saw that there was also a young general on the city.The helmet is bright, the face is heroic, surrounded by generals and guards, you can guess who it is.
Only Yu Chiyuan raised his head and said, "But General Zhao Shen?"
Zhao Shen saw five or six horses coming to the foot of the city, and two middle-aged generals with similar appearance, so he guessed that they were the Yuchi brothers, but there was another one who was pretending not to wear armor, but he didn't know which one it was.Gu Yanbin said from the side: "This is Yu Chiyuan, who just said that he has something to say to the general."
Zhao Shen nodded slightly, then lowered his head and said, "It's my servant, General Yuchi has invited you."
Seeing Yu Chiyuan urging him to take a few steps forward, he said: "General Zhao, you know the current situation in Luocheng. The siege and struggle of these two months, anyone who wants to come to the city should know that there is no way out if you stick to it like this. I advise you to come early. Xiancheng has surrendered, it is convenient for everyone."
Zhao Shen said with a smile: "It's strange, I have neither lost soldiers nor lacked food, and I have never been taught how powerful my lord is, so I will sacrifice the city just like that."
Yu Chiyuan said: "I'm trying to persuade you, if you really attack the city, how long do you think you can hold on? You should surrender earlier, so as to avoid the casualties of your subordinates."
After finishing speaking, he gave Yuchizhong a wink, and Yuchizhong said loudly: "Look at the high platform erected on the earth mountain, it's just for you. Let me tell you, we will attack the city in a few days, you should prepare well!"
Hearing the two of them singing together like this, Zhao Shen felt a little strange, but couldn't figure it out for a moment.Bottom down, Yu Chizhong saw that the city didn't answer, I'm afraid Zhao Shen didn't hear what he just said, and "mobilized the swords and soldiers, no armor will be left in the city", "you are so alive, we will attack the city soon", "our brothers Here, I want you to know the pros and cons." He kept going on and on.Zhao Shen was annoyed by his noise, suddenly raised his hand to take the bow and arrow of the soldier beside him, and shot an arrow towards the city.
Yuchizhong didn't have time to react, he just felt the wind blowing in front of him, his head was shaken, he was so startled that he stopped immediately, the only sound of horseshoes ticking and flags unfurling was heard in the city above and below the city.Yuchizhong's face was pale, and after a while he raised his hand to touch it, it turned out that the tassel of the helmet was shot off.
Zhao Shen saw that several people and horses in the city retreated a few steps, but the casually dressed person didn't move at all, he was secretly surprised, and his heart moved slightly.He just said to the city: "Everyone has any novel skills, Zhao Shen is waiting for you. Just save the effort of talking."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and all the soldiers on the city stepped forward with bows and arrows.Yu Chiyuan's face darkened, he looked to both sides and said, "Let's go."
Yuchizhong's face was still pale and uncertain, he just said: "It's dangerous, luckily it only shot on the helmet."
Yu Chiyuan said: "Didn't you talk about your courage just now, and now you know the danger?" After saying that, he glanced at Pei Yu again.
Pei Yuman said: "Zhao Shen didn't want to hurt the second general's life, the general still can't see it in this section?"
Yu Chiyuan said coldly: "Who knows what he thinks, it's just that I don't want to be dragged by him as a wronged ghost."
Pei Yu said with a smile: "This Zhao Shen is really young and full of arrogance. If you tell him to hurt you at this time, he won't let you down." He straightened his face and said: "He offended the general today, and he will pay back twice as much in the future. Day. Let’s not get entangled with him right now, since the foreplay has been done enough, the second general is here to deal with him, and it is a big deal for me to go to Sishuiguan with the general.”
Zhao Shen saw that the Xiyan army had retreated, turned to look at Gu Yanbin, Gu Yanbin frowned and said, "General, don't you think this mess is a bit of a show?"
Zhao Shendao: "That's exactly what you said, the battle is about surprise, how can you say it in a hurry?"
Gu Yanbin said: "The general thinks how to deal with this matter?"
Zhao Shendao: "Since we can't see the clue yet, let's wait and see what happens. He will take action in a few days, and he will deal with it step by step."
At one time, all the defenders of the four cities were summoned, and they carefully instructed the city defenses, and each of them strengthened their defenses without mentioning it.
One day at night, Zhao Shen took off his armor in the outer room, went into the inner tent and lay down on the floor with his head resting on Lu You's case, blocking his eyes and writing, "Are these words so beautiful?"
Lu Youzhi moved away the lamp in front of him and said: "Careful to bump into it," and then said: "It's nothing to look at, it's just idle and nothing to do."
When he said this, there was a little loneliness in his eyes, although he hurriedly lowered his eyes to cover it up, but Zhao Shen had already noticed the glint in his eyes, and he was slightly concerned.However, seeing Lu Youzhi's eyelashes cut like a swallow's tail, his heart softened again, and he deliberately put aside this unhappiness.He simply took over his words and said with a smile: "What's wrong with being idle? I don't think it's okay to live a free life. I'm afraid I won't be free to see you in a few days."
Lu Youzhi asked, "But what happened outside?"
Zhao Shendao: "Outside the city, a wooden frame fortification is being built on the west side of the earth hill, and today they came out to shout again, it seems that the city is about to be attacked."
Lu Youzhi frowned slightly when he heard this: "I've been around for two months, why do I suddenly want to fight?"
Zhao Shen seemed to think that the pain in the back of his neck was uncomfortable, so he put his hands behind his head and said, "Maybe you can't resist the urging from the supervising army from Xijing?"
Lu Youzhi asked, "Who is the supervisor?"
Zhao Shendao: "The name is Pei Yu, I'm afraid he is the one I saw at the top of the city today."
Lu Youzhi raised his tone slightly: "It's him." After a pause, he said, "Be careful." Seeing Zhao Shen for a long time, he just kept silent, and replied: "I used to follow him to do paperwork in front of Yuchi Fuji, so he treats me well. It can be regarded as a half-teacher friendship. This person has many ideas and is difficult to deal with. Xijing sent him here, which shows that he is determined to win Los Angeles."
Hearing this, Zhao Shen said with a smile: "Then Yuchi really thinks highly of me." He heard Lu Youzhi talk about the past in Xiyan, although he knew it was out of good intentions, but he felt a little grudge in his heart, and he unconsciously rubbed his forehead with a hand Suo suddenly thought of another matter, so he opened his mouth and said slowly: "You would rather die than give in that day, why are you willing to turn around and defend the city now?" Landing Youzhi.
Lu Youzhi seemed to be taken aback for a while, but there was no abnormality on his face, he just said indifferently: "I have never been a gentleman who insists on loyalty and righteousness, and besides, I am just going with the flow."
The self-deprecating and self-deprecating meaning in his words is quite heavy, and his face is calm, but he can't distinguish the entanglement and depression in his heart, so he can't help laughing at himself.
Speaking of personal sincerity, only you know after all.Even if you deliberately suppress it on weekdays, it is difficult to deceive yourself and others when it comes to life and death.Since Lu Youzhi was sure of his friendship with Zhao Shen, he naturally wanted to help him, and the reason was not difficult to understand.And when Zhao Shen asked him this question at the moment, he just wanted to hear what Lu Youzhi said, so that he could feel at ease.
It's just that Zhao Shen forgot, no matter how deep the affection is, there are still too many things in people's hearts that cannot be parted and forgotten.In the nightmarish nightmare, Lu Youzhi saw his grandfather and father bathed in blood more than once, and only stood beside him indifferently.There is also Mrs. Yuchi, who came to him and reprimanded him for committing himself to the enemy for the sake of one person's personal love and lust, and ungrateful to the Lord; and then laughed at him as if he was under house arrest at the moment, without freedom and dignity.Every time I wake up at this time, I only feel stagnation in my chest, and my clothes are soaked in cold sweat.
Now Zhao Shen asked him like this, as if he wanted him to uncover these painful scars with his own hands.Perhaps long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It is not a bad thing to uncover the scar and clear the pus and blood underneath.But that kind of embarrassment was so tragic that he couldn't face it himself, so how could he let Zhao Shen see it.
To him, Zhao Shen was like a candle illuminated by the sun, all kinds of bright warmth attracted him to throw moths into the flames.However, no matter how bright the sun is, there are also shadows under it, not to mention that day and night overlap.Lu Youzhi couldn't help thinking, when the bitter cold and long night are endless, will he still have the strength to wait until the sun rises and the warm sun shines?
Hearing what he said, Zhao Shen couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "I know what kind of person you are, so why do you say that. By saying that, you're taking me lightly." He saw Lu Youzhi He just shook his head and chuckled, feeling anxious.When he came back from Xudu, it was as if the previous quarrel between the two of them had been wiped out.But now I feel that it is still not transparent, and I am even more worried about gains and losses in my heart.Feeling suffocated for a while, he relaxed his arms and lay down again, and said dullly: "That's all."
He didn't want to mention this matter again, but suddenly flashed the indifferent face of Pei Yu he saw during the day, and there seemed to be a slight smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his lips.Zhao Shensong understood why he was a little confused when he saw Pei Yu in the city today. It turned out that Lu Youzhi's demeanor was somewhat similar to him.
Just now Lu Youzhi said that Pei Yu had a half-teacher friendship with him, presumably it was taught by precept and deed.Lu Youzhi's mind was already deep and introverted, not easy to ponder, what kind of person this Pei Yu is, Zhao Shen was a little curious for a while, and finally couldn't bear to ask: "You said Pei Yu is difficult to deal with, how does Brother Yuchi compare to him?"
Lu Youzhi came to his senses, and heard the words: "I have heard that Yuchi praised Pei Yu's ability to slay dragons and subdue tigers. In fact, regardless of resourcefulness, as long as he is extremely sincere to Yuchi, no one can match him." He compares."
Zhao Shen said with a smile: "If this sincerity is not added to the ability, what is the use?"
Lu Youzhi shook his head and smiled and said, "You shouldn't say everything like this. Some things can't be done, sometimes you just have to give up. Everyone has a three-pointed intention to protect themselves. When things happen, they will naturally think more and hesitate. Pei Yu, on the other hand, is so determined that as long as it is beneficial to the Yuchi family, he will never look aside, and he has done everything in these years with ruthlessness and precision. Therefore, he has offended many people, but he himself doesn't care."
He paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone was worried: "He has come to Los Angeles, and he will never stop until he achieves his goal."
Zhao Shen smiled and said: "If you can't let go, you will die."
Seeing that he didn't seem to care, Lu Youzhi couldn't help worrying, and felt even more frightened when he heard the words "I live or die".That idea turned around in my mind a few times, but I found it difficult to speak.
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Zhao Shen asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Youzhi saw that half of Zhao Shen's upper body was propped on the desk, and his eyes were so dark that they seemed to see no bottom.He knew that what he wanted to say would violate Zhao Shen's taboo, maybe it just caused Zhao Shen a lot of unhappiness, but there are some things in the world that don't vary according to people's likes and dislikes, he couldn't help reminding Zhao Shen of what he thought of.
He pondered for a long time, finally made up his mind and said: "In the current situation, have you ever thought about defecting to the city?"
Hearing a clatter, Zhao Shen suddenly turned over, causing the case to tilt and almost knocking over the oil lamp.Lu Youzhi was also slightly startled, only to hear Zhao Shen sternly said in a low voice, "Do you know what you said?"
Lu Youzhi raised his eyes calmly, met Zhao Shen's frightened and angry eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Let me finish."
Zhao Shen stared at him for a moment, then spit out a word: "Speak."
But I listened to Lu Youzhi's words: "If you hold on to this city, there are only two roads: if you can't hold it, you can't hold it; if you can't hold it, you will be destroyed. Needless to say, whoever wants to make a profit in the end of time needs to be mentioned. In fact, you know better than me whether you value the kindness of the king and do not want to betray the princes of Yecheng, or whether you want to protect your fellow brothers in troubled times. .In this case, there is a way out here. Besides, at this moment, you have a strong army and a healthy body, which is your capital. Once the war starts, the more you delay, the more your capital will be depreciated."
He stopped talking and said no more.After a while, Zhao Shen gritted his teeth and said: "Confucius said to be benevolent and Mencius said to be righteous. Just now you said that you are not a gentleman and follow the crowd. Is this what should be done?"
Lu Youzhi said indifferently: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in. If the master is really loyal to the emperor, why should he travel around the world?"
Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment, then said with a sneer, "It turned out that you went around and around just to say that your grand master is a great tree. You persuaded me to be a traitor, but you are still very loyal."
Seeing that he was thinking about this, Lu Youzhi couldn't help arguing: "I look like a dead person now, and I have nothing to do with Luocheng or Xiyan. This is just an outsider's word to you."
But it was said that Zhou Gan was on duty at the door of the outer tent at this time, and suddenly heard a messy sound in the room, and he listened carefully and felt that something was wrong.After hesitating for a moment, he bravely came in, and when he heard the end of the sentence, he felt that his tone was wrong, so he asked softly behind the curtain: "General, do you want to serve?"
Zhao Shen paused for a moment and said, "Come in."
Zhou Gan lifted the curtain and went in, only to feel that the atmosphere in the tent was strange, Zhao Shen's face was gloomy, and Lu Youzhi was silent.After a while, I heard Zhao Shen say, "Bring me my saber."
Zhou Gan couldn't help being stunned, just as he was about to ask, Zhao Shen glanced over, he had no choice but to back out.When he got to the outer room, he took the saber and hurriedly folded it back.
Seeing him coming back with something, Zhao Shen stretched out his arm to catch it in his hand.After a long silence, he looked at Lu Youzhi and said, "Get out of the way."
Seeing that Lu Youzhi was stunned and did not move, he stopped talking, stepped forward, drew out his sword, waved it and chopped it down.I saw Lu Youzhi's front table snapped off at the sound, revealing a whitish stubble on the section, and pieces of wood splashed, hitting Lu Youzhi's cheekbone.Lu Youzhi snorted softly, half of his face seemed to have been slapped.
When Zhou Gan saw it, he was so surprised that he said "ah, ah?" twice, but his words were not smooth.He wondered what was going on, seeing Zhao Shen's gloomy expression, he boldly persuaded him, "What are you doing, General... I have something to say, why bother, why so... Besides, in the tent, why..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shen put away his sword suddenly, stared at Lu Youzhi and said, "If you repeat what you said just now, this case is an example." Turning to Zhou Gan, he said, "After you clear this up, go outside and call me. "After that, he lifted the curtain and went out, leaving behind Zhou Gan who was full of surprise and couldn't stop looking at Lu Youzhi.
Lu Youzhi's face was red and white, his lips moved slightly, and finally he laughed "heh", and said to Zhou Gan, "I'll get out of the way."
It was the first time Zhou Qian saw someone laughing like this, and he thought that these two people were crazy.After hesitating for a while, I had to lower my head to look at the mess.
Zhao Shen got out of the inner tent, walked quickly to the tent door, only felt the cool wind blowing against his face, his breath gradually became more even.What Lu Youzhi said today is not wrong. What matters most to him is not how the Yecheng court is, but to protect the security of the soldiers under his command: the man in Yecheng did not give him any kindness, but the eight thousand comrades did not give him any favors. Live and die together.However, since the Zhao family ruled Luocheng, there has never been a precedent of bowing to others, and as the son of Zhao Jing, he knows better than anyone else the precarious situation of a defeated general.
What's more, Lu Youzhi's words can never be said on the face of him. If he admits it, he will ignore the morality of being a courtier; Let the history books of the world be full of mouths, and the Zhao family's reputation will be ruined forever.
Because of this, no matter what Lu Youzhi's original intentions were, at this very moment, no matter where he started from, he would not lightly forgive the words of surrendering to the enemy.He threatened Lu Youzhi in this way, and he only hoped that he would not mention this matter again, otherwise there would be endless hidden dangers.
And when it comes to Lu Youzhi's original intention of persuading him to surrender, Zhao Shen only feels like an autumn rain, erratic and cold, but he can't hold on to it, even what he is looking forward to in his heart is also vague.Zhao Shen sighed slightly, turned around and looked at the inner tent, he seemed to hear the sigh faintly, he felt all kinds of feelings stirring in his heart, his fingertips were cold and numb.
When Zhou Gan came out, Zhao Shen had put away his dazed expression, and followed him into the inner tent.When he looked up, he saw Lu Youzhi silently sitting beside him, with a bruise on his face, after a while, there was a little blood oozing out.When Zhao Shen saw it, he said coldly: "If you have a long memory, you will remember this experience. If you only think that I am a false threat, then you can try it." He looked at the bruises on Lu Youzhi's face, turned his head to face Zhou Qiandao: "I will go out to patrol the camp tonight."
When Lu Youzhi saw Zhou Gan go outside to help Zhao Shen put on his armor, Fang felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.He remembered Zhao Shen's words just now, and couldn't help but smile wryly.In fact, he and Zhao Shen are the same, the most worrying thing is to save the other party's life, but for themselves, why is life the most important thing?The various complexes in their hearts cannot be given to each other. They can only try their best to make up for other things, but they are in opposite directions.
Zhao Shen's actions just now were almost as if they were splitting seats.Thinking of this, Lu Youzhi couldn't help feeling disheartened.I wanted to get up, but felt powerless.Looking at the pile of broken wood on the ground, he felt a dull pain on his face in a daze.
After a while Zhou Gan came in, stepped forward and whispered next to him: "Joining the army is frightened."
When Lu Youzhi heard him refer to his old rank, he couldn't help pursing his lips and laughed at himself: "From now on, don't call him join the army anymore."
Seeing his dull tone, Zhou Qian thought that Zhao Shen was too tough just now, and he didn't care about Lu Youzhi's mood and face at all.Seeing that blood was still oozing from Lu Youzhi's face, he handed a handkerchief on one side, and looked at his face on the other side, and said, "You should know the general's temperament. If you have something to say, talk about it. Don't let him make wild guesses. Both of them are good friends." Hard."
Lu Youzhi knew that Zhou Gan was a smart person, but he didn't want to talk so transparently.It's just that there are a lot of hidden things in it, how can he and Zhao Shen be open and honest as if they don't have anything on their minds.When the handkerchief was on his face, he felt even more stinging pain. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, pursed his lips and shook his head.
Seeing him shaking his head, Zhou Gan didn't say anything else.There was only a short wick left in the lamp beside it, and the shadow of the candle suddenly dimmed.It was the time when the night was deep and the long river was falling, the sea was blue and the sky was blue, and there was no sleep all night.
The author has something to say:
The so-called Longhuashan Grottoes are Longmen Grottoes
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, monks also called themselves poor
The last sentence, Li Yishan's words go through here...
On this day, the sky suddenly turned cloudy, and the strong wind blew for half a day, but the clouds did not turn to see the sun. At night, the wind stopped and it began to rain again. When we got up the next morning, the sun was still covered by haze, and the temperature also dropped sharply. With the humidity, the patrolling guards in the camp were too cold to stop, and they couldn't help shivering when they stood still.
Pei Yu dressed lightly early in the morning, and rode out of the camp with only a document that he listened to, but he went straight to Longhua Mountain.
When I got off the horse at the foot of the mountain, I saw the Luo River flowing through it, and the grottoes were embedded in the Longhua Mountain on the north bank of it.Pei Yu walked up alone, and saw the stone statues in the cave from east to west. The statues in the first few caves were only half the height of a person.
He climbed up the mountain all the way, walked halfway up the mountain and looked back, he could already overlook a corner of Los Angeles from a high place.The terrain in the south of Luocheng is higher, while in the west there are several low-lying hills surrounding the low-lying area, facing the city wall, and Luoshui flows by.
Pei Yu looked at it for a while, then turned to look at a cave beside him, and then walked in.He had long heard of the reputation of the Buddha statues in the Longhuashan Grottoes.In fact, in terms of excavation time, the Maifengshan Grottoes in Tianshui County in the northwest are a hundred years earlier than here.It's just that most of the sculptures in it are clay sculptures supported by folks, without the solemn and noble demeanor of Longhua Mountain.
The light in the cave was already dim, and there was no sun in the rainy day. Those stone sculptures were hidden in the shadows, and the look of hope on the eyebrows and lips seemed to add a little more meaning.In addition to the sitting statue in the middle of this cave, there are also eight Jataka reliefs of Prince Mahasattva "giving up his life to feed the tiger" on the walls.Pei Yu squinted his eyes and looked up carefully, only to feel that the Mahasattva in the relief had a peaceful expression, and the king and his wife who lost their beloved son were full of grief, and couldn't help sighing.
I was feeling emotional, but I heard someone ask: "The benefactor?"
Pei Yu turned his head and saw that the person who came was an old monk, so he nodded his head slightly as a salute.
The monk said: "Why does the almsgiver sigh when he sees this stone sculpture?"
Pei Yu said: "Buddhas say that Mahasattva's sacrifice to feed a tiger is compassionate, but to his parents, isn't this an evil deed?"
The monk said: "If there is no good, why is it evil?"
Pei Yu said, "I would like to hear the details."
The monk said: "Mohe Sattva feeds the tiger not because of compassion, but out of nature. If there are no deliberate distractions in the heart and sacrifice the body to be benevolent, it is natural; if the heart is only thinking about compassion all the time, this mercy is artificial. So there is no need to be kind. Evil is just a true and false intention.”
Pei Yu laughed and said, "How do I know whether the flash in my mind is true or not?"
The monk said: "Buddhism says not to harm living beings is a compassionate heart. Isn't it compassionate for hunters in the mountains to hunt wild animals and feed their noble children? When you don't have the heart, the mountains and mountains are illusory. If you have the heart, a grain of sand can become a mountain and a river."
Pei Yu said: "If the great monk said that, as long as there is a reason for the bandits who block the road, can they be forgiven?"
The monk said with a smile: "My Buddha can forgive everything, but in this world, it has always been easy to forgive others, but difficult to forgive oneself."
After hearing this, Pei Yu nodded with a smile, and said, "The Great Monk is very eloquent. How dare you ask your honorable Dharma name, where can you practice? In the future, Pei Yu will bother you often."
The monk clasped his hands together and said: "Poverty is wise, and he is practicing in the meditation room in the mountains. If the benefactor wants to teach, the poor way is willing to wait."
When Pei Yu returned to the camp, a guard reported that Yu Chiyuan had invited him and was waiting in the tent.Pei Yu thought that he was going to talk about sending troops, so he went straight to the general's tent.
Seeing him, Yuchiyuan seemed to be more polite in his speech, Pei Yu looked around and asked, "Don't you see Lieutenant General Yuchi?"
Yu Chiyuan chuckled and said, "My younger brother is not very rich in the city, so please don't annoy him."
Pei Yu's expression was quite playful, he looked at him for a moment and said: "General, if you have something to say, just say it."
Yu Chiyuan's mind was uncertain.Going to Sishuiguan to stop the reinforcements, the besieging army must be divided.Wei Chiyuan at Sishui Pass naturally has to go out in person, and he doesn't worry about anyone else going.To continue the siege here is just to make no mistakes, so it's okay to hand it over to Yuchi.It's just that Pei Yu's whereabouts are not easy to decide, and Yu Chiyuan always feels that there is something wrong when he thinks about it.
Now that Pei Yu said this, he simply explained these two things in detail, and said: "In the opinion of the superintendent, which place is suitable to follow?"
Pei Yu thought for a moment and said, "I will go to Sishuiguan with the general. General Yuchi is in charge here alone, and there won't be much trouble."
After hearing this, Yu Chiyuan also felt a little more relaxed. If Yu Chizhong's impatient temper was here with Pei Yu, he would be afraid of trouble.It's just that Pei Yu followed him to Sishui Pass, not knowing that military matters could still be decided by himself.But despite all kinds of scruples, Yu Chiyuan had to weigh the importance of the matter, so he said with a smile: "The supervising army is not afraid of the hard work in front of the battle, so it's very good."
The defenders of Luocheng saw that the Xiyan army was on the dirt hill to the west of the city, and they built a wooden frame several feet high in a few days.The main general of our own side also visits the city every day, and has twice as many arrows as usual. Even the soldiers at the lowest level know that the battle will start in the next few days.
Since it rained all day in Los Angeles that day, the sky has turned from cloudy to sunny, and there is not even a cloud in the sky, especially at noon, when the sun scorches the bricks and stones of the city walls, and the helmets of the soldiers are bright and dazzling.
After noon that day, the sun was so white that it made people dizzy, and there were soldiers in the west city who couldn't help staring, their eyelids fighting desperately.While he was struggling, the person next to him grabbed him privately, and suddenly opened his eyes to see the guard Gu Yanbin patrolling over, he was so startled that he lost even half of his sleepiness.
Gu Yanbin had already seen someone sleepy and lazy, so he said in a stern tone: "When is this, you're still fooling around, don't you want your head?"
The dozing soldier hurriedly begged: "You little one slack off for a while, don't dare anymore."
Gu Yanbin said: "Do you think I want to kill you? You are so confused, you have been killed by the enemy long ago." He added, "You can't be sloppy, life and death on the battlefield is just a blink of an eye."
All the troops were busy saying yes, each of them was vigilant and did not dare to be lazy.While he was talking, he heard horses neighing and people screaming on the dirt hill outside the city. Looking outside, he saw a group of cavalry surrounded by a few general-looking people, and someone behind him was holding a flag with the word Yuchi written on it.
I saw several Xiyan soldiers running in front of the horses, shouting in unison: "Listen in the city, my general Yuchi has something to say, let your general go to the city to answer."
Gu Yanbin heard this, and while ordering people to go to Zhao Shen quickly, he also told the soldiers to shout out: "Whoever you are from the Xiyan Army, our leader is you, and you can meet him if you want?"
But it is said that the brothers Yuchiyuan, Yuchizhong and Pei Yu are on the mountain.Yu Chizhong could not help being annoyed when he heard the shouts from the top of the city: "Young man with a yellow mouth, what is he so crazy about?"
Pei Yu shook the reins and said leisurely: "It's reasonable to say that. Let's declare our family name and go directly to the city, so as to save the soldiers shouting and wasting effort." After crossing the horse's head, he lifted the horse and went down the hill to the city.Just as Yu Chiyuan was about to open his mouth to block, Yuchi said in the middle: "Brother is confused, it seems that we have no courage if you can't stop him, so we might as well go together."
Yu Chiyuan said: "Zhao Shen's arrow skills, if we go to his city, won't we be a living target?"
Yuchi said in the middle: "It's not that we are not afraid of being too poor, but we are afraid of it."
Yu Chiyuan snorted and said: "He is a literati, don't you know that swords and guns have no eyes?" He sighed again, but he couldn't help it, so he had to follow Pei Yu on his horse and go down to Luocheng City.
When people approached the city, they saw that there was also a young general on the city.The helmet is bright, the face is heroic, surrounded by generals and guards, you can guess who it is.
Only Yu Chiyuan raised his head and said, "But General Zhao Shen?"
Zhao Shen saw five or six horses coming to the foot of the city, and two middle-aged generals with similar appearance, so he guessed that they were the Yuchi brothers, but there was another one who was pretending not to wear armor, but he didn't know which one it was.Gu Yanbin said from the side: "This is Yu Chiyuan, who just said that he has something to say to the general."
Zhao Shen nodded slightly, then lowered his head and said, "It's my servant, General Yuchi has invited you."
Seeing Yu Chiyuan urging him to take a few steps forward, he said: "General Zhao, you know the current situation in Luocheng. The siege and struggle of these two months, anyone who wants to come to the city should know that there is no way out if you stick to it like this. I advise you to come early. Xiancheng has surrendered, it is convenient for everyone."
Zhao Shen said with a smile: "It's strange, I have neither lost soldiers nor lacked food, and I have never been taught how powerful my lord is, so I will sacrifice the city just like that."
Yu Chiyuan said: "I'm trying to persuade you, if you really attack the city, how long do you think you can hold on? You should surrender earlier, so as to avoid the casualties of your subordinates."
After finishing speaking, he gave Yuchizhong a wink, and Yuchizhong said loudly: "Look at the high platform erected on the earth mountain, it's just for you. Let me tell you, we will attack the city in a few days, you should prepare well!"
Hearing the two of them singing together like this, Zhao Shen felt a little strange, but couldn't figure it out for a moment.Bottom down, Yu Chizhong saw that the city didn't answer, I'm afraid Zhao Shen didn't hear what he just said, and "mobilized the swords and soldiers, no armor will be left in the city", "you are so alive, we will attack the city soon", "our brothers Here, I want you to know the pros and cons." He kept going on and on.Zhao Shen was annoyed by his noise, suddenly raised his hand to take the bow and arrow of the soldier beside him, and shot an arrow towards the city.
Yuchizhong didn't have time to react, he just felt the wind blowing in front of him, his head was shaken, he was so startled that he stopped immediately, the only sound of horseshoes ticking and flags unfurling was heard in the city above and below the city.Yuchizhong's face was pale, and after a while he raised his hand to touch it, it turned out that the tassel of the helmet was shot off.
Zhao Shen saw that several people and horses in the city retreated a few steps, but the casually dressed person didn't move at all, he was secretly surprised, and his heart moved slightly.He just said to the city: "Everyone has any novel skills, Zhao Shen is waiting for you. Just save the effort of talking."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and all the soldiers on the city stepped forward with bows and arrows.Yu Chiyuan's face darkened, he looked to both sides and said, "Let's go."
Yuchizhong's face was still pale and uncertain, he just said: "It's dangerous, luckily it only shot on the helmet."
Yu Chiyuan said: "Didn't you talk about your courage just now, and now you know the danger?" After saying that, he glanced at Pei Yu again.
Pei Yuman said: "Zhao Shen didn't want to hurt the second general's life, the general still can't see it in this section?"
Yu Chiyuan said coldly: "Who knows what he thinks, it's just that I don't want to be dragged by him as a wronged ghost."
Pei Yu said with a smile: "This Zhao Shen is really young and full of arrogance. If you tell him to hurt you at this time, he won't let you down." He straightened his face and said: "He offended the general today, and he will pay back twice as much in the future. Day. Let’s not get entangled with him right now, since the foreplay has been done enough, the second general is here to deal with him, and it is a big deal for me to go to Sishuiguan with the general.”
Zhao Shen saw that the Xiyan army had retreated, turned to look at Gu Yanbin, Gu Yanbin frowned and said, "General, don't you think this mess is a bit of a show?"
Zhao Shendao: "That's exactly what you said, the battle is about surprise, how can you say it in a hurry?"
Gu Yanbin said: "The general thinks how to deal with this matter?"
Zhao Shendao: "Since we can't see the clue yet, let's wait and see what happens. He will take action in a few days, and he will deal with it step by step."
At one time, all the defenders of the four cities were summoned, and they carefully instructed the city defenses, and each of them strengthened their defenses without mentioning it.
One day at night, Zhao Shen took off his armor in the outer room, went into the inner tent and lay down on the floor with his head resting on Lu You's case, blocking his eyes and writing, "Are these words so beautiful?"
Lu Youzhi moved away the lamp in front of him and said: "Careful to bump into it," and then said: "It's nothing to look at, it's just idle and nothing to do."
When he said this, there was a little loneliness in his eyes, although he hurriedly lowered his eyes to cover it up, but Zhao Shen had already noticed the glint in his eyes, and he was slightly concerned.However, seeing Lu Youzhi's eyelashes cut like a swallow's tail, his heart softened again, and he deliberately put aside this unhappiness.He simply took over his words and said with a smile: "What's wrong with being idle? I don't think it's okay to live a free life. I'm afraid I won't be free to see you in a few days."
Lu Youzhi asked, "But what happened outside?"
Zhao Shendao: "Outside the city, a wooden frame fortification is being built on the west side of the earth hill, and today they came out to shout again, it seems that the city is about to be attacked."
Lu Youzhi frowned slightly when he heard this: "I've been around for two months, why do I suddenly want to fight?"
Zhao Shen seemed to think that the pain in the back of his neck was uncomfortable, so he put his hands behind his head and said, "Maybe you can't resist the urging from the supervising army from Xijing?"
Lu Youzhi asked, "Who is the supervisor?"
Zhao Shendao: "The name is Pei Yu, I'm afraid he is the one I saw at the top of the city today."
Lu Youzhi raised his tone slightly: "It's him." After a pause, he said, "Be careful." Seeing Zhao Shen for a long time, he just kept silent, and replied: "I used to follow him to do paperwork in front of Yuchi Fuji, so he treats me well. It can be regarded as a half-teacher friendship. This person has many ideas and is difficult to deal with. Xijing sent him here, which shows that he is determined to win Los Angeles."
Hearing this, Zhao Shen said with a smile: "Then Yuchi really thinks highly of me." He heard Lu Youzhi talk about the past in Xiyan, although he knew it was out of good intentions, but he felt a little grudge in his heart, and he unconsciously rubbed his forehead with a hand Suo suddenly thought of another matter, so he opened his mouth and said slowly: "You would rather die than give in that day, why are you willing to turn around and defend the city now?" Landing Youzhi.
Lu Youzhi seemed to be taken aback for a while, but there was no abnormality on his face, he just said indifferently: "I have never been a gentleman who insists on loyalty and righteousness, and besides, I am just going with the flow."
The self-deprecating and self-deprecating meaning in his words is quite heavy, and his face is calm, but he can't distinguish the entanglement and depression in his heart, so he can't help laughing at himself.
Speaking of personal sincerity, only you know after all.Even if you deliberately suppress it on weekdays, it is difficult to deceive yourself and others when it comes to life and death.Since Lu Youzhi was sure of his friendship with Zhao Shen, he naturally wanted to help him, and the reason was not difficult to understand.And when Zhao Shen asked him this question at the moment, he just wanted to hear what Lu Youzhi said, so that he could feel at ease.
It's just that Zhao Shen forgot, no matter how deep the affection is, there are still too many things in people's hearts that cannot be parted and forgotten.In the nightmarish nightmare, Lu Youzhi saw his grandfather and father bathed in blood more than once, and only stood beside him indifferently.There is also Mrs. Yuchi, who came to him and reprimanded him for committing himself to the enemy for the sake of one person's personal love and lust, and ungrateful to the Lord; and then laughed at him as if he was under house arrest at the moment, without freedom and dignity.Every time I wake up at this time, I only feel stagnation in my chest, and my clothes are soaked in cold sweat.
Now Zhao Shen asked him like this, as if he wanted him to uncover these painful scars with his own hands.Perhaps long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. It is not a bad thing to uncover the scar and clear the pus and blood underneath.But that kind of embarrassment was so tragic that he couldn't face it himself, so how could he let Zhao Shen see it.
To him, Zhao Shen was like a candle illuminated by the sun, all kinds of bright warmth attracted him to throw moths into the flames.However, no matter how bright the sun is, there are also shadows under it, not to mention that day and night overlap.Lu Youzhi couldn't help thinking, when the bitter cold and long night are endless, will he still have the strength to wait until the sun rises and the warm sun shines?
Hearing what he said, Zhao Shen couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "I know what kind of person you are, so why do you say that. By saying that, you're taking me lightly." He saw Lu Youzhi He just shook his head and chuckled, feeling anxious.When he came back from Xudu, it was as if the previous quarrel between the two of them had been wiped out.But now I feel that it is still not transparent, and I am even more worried about gains and losses in my heart.Feeling suffocated for a while, he relaxed his arms and lay down again, and said dullly: "That's all."
He didn't want to mention this matter again, but suddenly flashed the indifferent face of Pei Yu he saw during the day, and there seemed to be a slight smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his lips.Zhao Shensong understood why he was a little confused when he saw Pei Yu in the city today. It turned out that Lu Youzhi's demeanor was somewhat similar to him.
Just now Lu Youzhi said that Pei Yu had a half-teacher friendship with him, presumably it was taught by precept and deed.Lu Youzhi's mind was already deep and introverted, not easy to ponder, what kind of person this Pei Yu is, Zhao Shen was a little curious for a while, and finally couldn't bear to ask: "You said Pei Yu is difficult to deal with, how does Brother Yuchi compare to him?"
Lu Youzhi came to his senses, and heard the words: "I have heard that Yuchi praised Pei Yu's ability to slay dragons and subdue tigers. In fact, regardless of resourcefulness, as long as he is extremely sincere to Yuchi, no one can match him." He compares."
Zhao Shen said with a smile: "If this sincerity is not added to the ability, what is the use?"
Lu Youzhi shook his head and smiled and said, "You shouldn't say everything like this. Some things can't be done, sometimes you just have to give up. Everyone has a three-pointed intention to protect themselves. When things happen, they will naturally think more and hesitate. Pei Yu, on the other hand, is so determined that as long as it is beneficial to the Yuchi family, he will never look aside, and he has done everything in these years with ruthlessness and precision. Therefore, he has offended many people, but he himself doesn't care."
He paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone was worried: "He has come to Los Angeles, and he will never stop until he achieves his goal."
Zhao Shen smiled and said: "If you can't let go, you will die."
Seeing that he didn't seem to care, Lu Youzhi couldn't help worrying, and felt even more frightened when he heard the words "I live or die".That idea turned around in my mind a few times, but I found it difficult to speak.
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Zhao Shen asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Youzhi saw that half of Zhao Shen's upper body was propped on the desk, and his eyes were so dark that they seemed to see no bottom.He knew that what he wanted to say would violate Zhao Shen's taboo, maybe it just caused Zhao Shen a lot of unhappiness, but there are some things in the world that don't vary according to people's likes and dislikes, he couldn't help reminding Zhao Shen of what he thought of.
He pondered for a long time, finally made up his mind and said: "In the current situation, have you ever thought about defecting to the city?"
Hearing a clatter, Zhao Shen suddenly turned over, causing the case to tilt and almost knocking over the oil lamp.Lu Youzhi was also slightly startled, only to hear Zhao Shen sternly said in a low voice, "Do you know what you said?"
Lu Youzhi raised his eyes calmly, met Zhao Shen's frightened and angry eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Let me finish."
Zhao Shen stared at him for a moment, then spit out a word: "Speak."
But I listened to Lu Youzhi's words: "If you hold on to this city, there are only two roads: if you can't hold it, you can't hold it; if you can't hold it, you will be destroyed. Needless to say, whoever wants to make a profit in the end of time needs to be mentioned. In fact, you know better than me whether you value the kindness of the king and do not want to betray the princes of Yecheng, or whether you want to protect your fellow brothers in troubled times. .In this case, there is a way out here. Besides, at this moment, you have a strong army and a healthy body, which is your capital. Once the war starts, the more you delay, the more your capital will be depreciated."
He stopped talking and said no more.After a while, Zhao Shen gritted his teeth and said: "Confucius said to be benevolent and Mencius said to be righteous. Just now you said that you are not a gentleman and follow the crowd. Is this what should be done?"
Lu Youzhi said indifferently: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in. If the master is really loyal to the emperor, why should he travel around the world?"
Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment, then said with a sneer, "It turned out that you went around and around just to say that your grand master is a great tree. You persuaded me to be a traitor, but you are still very loyal."
Seeing that he was thinking about this, Lu Youzhi couldn't help arguing: "I look like a dead person now, and I have nothing to do with Luocheng or Xiyan. This is just an outsider's word to you."
But it was said that Zhou Gan was on duty at the door of the outer tent at this time, and suddenly heard a messy sound in the room, and he listened carefully and felt that something was wrong.After hesitating for a moment, he bravely came in, and when he heard the end of the sentence, he felt that his tone was wrong, so he asked softly behind the curtain: "General, do you want to serve?"
Zhao Shen paused for a moment and said, "Come in."
Zhou Gan lifted the curtain and went in, only to feel that the atmosphere in the tent was strange, Zhao Shen's face was gloomy, and Lu Youzhi was silent.After a while, I heard Zhao Shen say, "Bring me my saber."
Zhou Gan couldn't help being stunned, just as he was about to ask, Zhao Shen glanced over, he had no choice but to back out.When he got to the outer room, he took the saber and hurriedly folded it back.
Seeing him coming back with something, Zhao Shen stretched out his arm to catch it in his hand.After a long silence, he looked at Lu Youzhi and said, "Get out of the way."
Seeing that Lu Youzhi was stunned and did not move, he stopped talking, stepped forward, drew out his sword, waved it and chopped it down.I saw Lu Youzhi's front table snapped off at the sound, revealing a whitish stubble on the section, and pieces of wood splashed, hitting Lu Youzhi's cheekbone.Lu Youzhi snorted softly, half of his face seemed to have been slapped.
When Zhou Gan saw it, he was so surprised that he said "ah, ah?" twice, but his words were not smooth.He wondered what was going on, seeing Zhao Shen's gloomy expression, he boldly persuaded him, "What are you doing, General... I have something to say, why bother, why so... Besides, in the tent, why..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shen put away his sword suddenly, stared at Lu Youzhi and said, "If you repeat what you said just now, this case is an example." Turning to Zhou Gan, he said, "After you clear this up, go outside and call me. "After that, he lifted the curtain and went out, leaving behind Zhou Gan who was full of surprise and couldn't stop looking at Lu Youzhi.
Lu Youzhi's face was red and white, his lips moved slightly, and finally he laughed "heh", and said to Zhou Gan, "I'll get out of the way."
It was the first time Zhou Qian saw someone laughing like this, and he thought that these two people were crazy.After hesitating for a while, I had to lower my head to look at the mess.
Zhao Shen got out of the inner tent, walked quickly to the tent door, only felt the cool wind blowing against his face, his breath gradually became more even.What Lu Youzhi said today is not wrong. What matters most to him is not how the Yecheng court is, but to protect the security of the soldiers under his command: the man in Yecheng did not give him any kindness, but the eight thousand comrades did not give him any favors. Live and die together.However, since the Zhao family ruled Luocheng, there has never been a precedent of bowing to others, and as the son of Zhao Jing, he knows better than anyone else the precarious situation of a defeated general.
What's more, Lu Youzhi's words can never be said on the face of him. If he admits it, he will ignore the morality of being a courtier; Let the history books of the world be full of mouths, and the Zhao family's reputation will be ruined forever.
Because of this, no matter what Lu Youzhi's original intentions were, at this very moment, no matter where he started from, he would not lightly forgive the words of surrendering to the enemy.He threatened Lu Youzhi in this way, and he only hoped that he would not mention this matter again, otherwise there would be endless hidden dangers.
And when it comes to Lu Youzhi's original intention of persuading him to surrender, Zhao Shen only feels like an autumn rain, erratic and cold, but he can't hold on to it, even what he is looking forward to in his heart is also vague.Zhao Shen sighed slightly, turned around and looked at the inner tent, he seemed to hear the sigh faintly, he felt all kinds of feelings stirring in his heart, his fingertips were cold and numb.
When Zhou Gan came out, Zhao Shen had put away his dazed expression, and followed him into the inner tent.When he looked up, he saw Lu Youzhi silently sitting beside him, with a bruise on his face, after a while, there was a little blood oozing out.When Zhao Shen saw it, he said coldly: "If you have a long memory, you will remember this experience. If you only think that I am a false threat, then you can try it." He looked at the bruises on Lu Youzhi's face, turned his head to face Zhou Qiandao: "I will go out to patrol the camp tonight."
When Lu Youzhi saw Zhou Gan go outside to help Zhao Shen put on his armor, Fang felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.He remembered Zhao Shen's words just now, and couldn't help but smile wryly.In fact, he and Zhao Shen are the same, the most worrying thing is to save the other party's life, but for themselves, why is life the most important thing?The various complexes in their hearts cannot be given to each other. They can only try their best to make up for other things, but they are in opposite directions.
Zhao Shen's actions just now were almost as if they were splitting seats.Thinking of this, Lu Youzhi couldn't help feeling disheartened.I wanted to get up, but felt powerless.Looking at the pile of broken wood on the ground, he felt a dull pain on his face in a daze.
After a while Zhou Gan came in, stepped forward and whispered next to him: "Joining the army is frightened."
When Lu Youzhi heard him refer to his old rank, he couldn't help pursing his lips and laughed at himself: "From now on, don't call him join the army anymore."
Seeing his dull tone, Zhou Qian thought that Zhao Shen was too tough just now, and he didn't care about Lu Youzhi's mood and face at all.Seeing that blood was still oozing from Lu Youzhi's face, he handed a handkerchief on one side, and looked at his face on the other side, and said, "You should know the general's temperament. If you have something to say, talk about it. Don't let him make wild guesses. Both of them are good friends." Hard."
Lu Youzhi knew that Zhou Gan was a smart person, but he didn't want to talk so transparently.It's just that there are a lot of hidden things in it, how can he and Zhao Shen be open and honest as if they don't have anything on their minds.When the handkerchief was on his face, he felt even more stinging pain. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, pursed his lips and shook his head.
Seeing him shaking his head, Zhou Gan didn't say anything else.There was only a short wick left in the lamp beside it, and the shadow of the candle suddenly dimmed.It was the time when the night was deep and the long river was falling, the sea was blue and the sky was blue, and there was no sleep all night.
