Luoshui Dongliu

In the early morning of the next day, the rain gradually subsided, and the offensive outside the city also eased.Li Meng looked at the faint light in the morning, and could see that the infantry who drove down the city were resting on the spot, and there was no sign of attacking the city, so he turned back to Zhao Shen and said, "General, go back and change into dry clothes while it's still safe."

It was a stormy night, and everyone was fully clothed.Zhao Shen said: "No need, everyone in this city is like this."

Li Meng said: "It's true that there is nothing wrong here, so why bother the general? If you catch cold, who can you find to replace him?" Seeing Zhou Gan behind him, he waved to him and said, "You follow the general."

Zhou Qian also persuaded: "What General Li said is right, it's not too late."

Seeing this, Zhao Shen didn't insist anymore, but just as he was about to leave, he couldn't help but turned around and came back to warn him. Seeing Li Meng nodding repeatedly, he smiled and said, "Forget it, I'm the one who is rambling." All night he was attacking. On the enemy's body, he didn't feel anything; at this moment, his heart felt a little more stable, and he felt that his whole body was clammy and cold, and his muscles and bones were stiff.Li Meng saw that although he was talking and laughing bravely, his face turned pale and ugly, and he couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart.

Zhao Shen went back to his tent, Zhou Qian had already prepared his clothes and came up to help Zhao Shen take off his armor.Zhao Shen was the only one who hesitated, paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "Take it in, I'll go in and tidy up..."

Zhou Gan laughed and said, "Then I will be outside the tent for a while, and the general will call me when he has orders." He took his clothes and went in, and lifted the curtain when he came out.Zhao Shen was worried, nodded slightly, and stepped in.

That night he was determined to send Lu Youzhi out of the city, but he was always interrupted by sudden military situations.Now that the Xiyan army is stationed near the city, even if he intends to arrange it, it is not convenient.On one side of him, he felt that he had broken his promise to Lu Youzhi, but on the other side, he secretly rejoiced: in fact, he was never willing to let go.However, as soon as the thought of rejoicing welled up, Zhao Shen couldn't help but feel disgusted for a while, he didn't even dare to extravagantly ask for Lu Youzhi's safety, so what capital is there to force him to risk his life to accompany him?

Looking down, from the corner of my eye, there was candlelight shining, reflecting the tall shadows of the two people inside the tent.Only Lu Youzhi said softly, "Ah Shen?"

Zhao Shen was slightly startled, the sound of "A Shen" seemed to drown his whole heart into the vast deep lake, let the blood and fire rain all over the sky.When he suddenly came back to his senses, it was as if the sea had changed.

At this moment, he suddenly understood that every meeting between him and Lu Youzhi might be a farewell.There was a sudden trance before his eyes, and Lu Youzhi stood silently and upright in the light and shadow, like green bamboo in the forest.

But hate comes from the wind, and the roots and plants grow apart.

The next moment, he had grabbed Lu Youzhi's back and held him in his arms.

Zhao Shen's armor belt had been unbuckled, and the icy ground felt even more chilly through his wet jacket.Lu Youzhi couldn't tell which one was colder, Zhao Shen's armor or his skin.Zhao Shen's whole body seemed to be soaked in the cold rain-drenched air, the arms that used to burn his body and mind seemed to be unable to warm him up now.Lu Youzhi's long sigh seemed to split his chest: all his sense of loss and helplessness was at this moment - that person's pain persisted in his side's eyes, but he was so powerless.Lu Youzhi suddenly turned around, all he could do at the moment was to embrace Zhao Shen's body in his arms.

Zhao Shen never knew that Lu Youzhi's arms were so powerful, holding him so tightly.Even though that flexible body was trembling slightly in the cold, he tried his best to press the heat from his chest onto his body.Zhao Shen's heart suddenly rose and fell, but he couldn't say a word with thousands of emotions, he only said for a long time: "I promised to send you out of the city, and I will never break my promise."

Lu Youzhi smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand." Before Zhao Shen could answer, he said, "I only know that you and I are here."

The voice of these words is as light as floating clouds, but it seems to suddenly open up a hole in the haze.Zhao Shen pursed his lips and said nothing, his forehead rested on Lu You's neck, and the muscles all over his body tensed instantly like a rock.

After a long time, Lu Youzhi said, "I'll change your dry clothes for you." After saying that, he wanted to get up again, but his arm was caught by Zhao Shen.Zhao Shen turned over and sat up, said seriously: "Master Yuan, I will never let you down."

He had always thought that the most meaningless thing to say about this promise was the most meaningless; but now he thought that if he refused to say it in person at this moment, maybe he would have no chance to say it again someday.At this time, this is no longer a promise, but a confession.Lu Youzhi smiled when he heard the words, and said quietly: "It must be so."

He didn't ask, how to live up to it?In fact, this is no longer important, now his life and death are not in his control, nor is it in Zhao Shen's control.Since he has a calm heart, no matter what the road ahead is, he is willing to bear it.

He took out the dry cloth for a while, but when he turned around, he saw that Zhao Shen had already taken out the middle coat and changed it himself.Lu Youzhi said: "You are still wet, why don't you wipe it off?"

Zhao Shen smiled and said: "Sun and rain, it's not just this time, it's nothing."

Lu Youzhi said, "It's so cold on you." Seeing that Zhao Shen just waved his hands and said "No problem", he could only say, "You have to dry your hair."

So Zhao Shen sat squatting in front of the case, cleaning his armor while letting Lu Youzhi untie his bun.The fingers brushed gently, and I felt a softness in my heart.Lu Youzhi dried the wet hair in his hands, then picked up the comb.He stroked along the sideburns, but saw some stubble growing on Zhao Shen's chin, he thought he had no time to trim it for a few days.He knew that although Zhao Shen never mentioned it in his mouth, he was actually quite groomed. He had heard him scold Zhou Gan for the marks on the neckline of the mid laner, let alone his beard.Now seeing how haggard he was in his description, he sighed even more in his heart, and only silently combed his hair carefully, especially squeezing his temples tightly and neatly.

After finishing his hair, Lu Youzhi said, "I'll take the bronze mirror, can you see if it works?"

Zhao Shen turned around and said, "No need," then stood up and said, "I'm wearing armor."

Lu Youzhi didn't say much, so he helped him put on his military uniform and armor.After taking the belt again, he knelt down and put it on for him.But Zhao Shen pulled him back and said, "You don't need to come here."

Lu Youzhi smiled lightly, and pushed his hand away.His fingers brushed over the cold and hard armor, he fastened the belt hook with both hands, but he heard Zhao Shen say: "Then fasten it tighter."

Lu Youzhi didn't understand, so Zhao Shen held his hand with both hands and tightened the buckle tightly.Lifting him up, Fang said: "It really needs to be tightened, and it depends on this breath." When Lu Youzhi saw him say this, his expression was resolute, his back was as straight as a pine, and suddenly he felt hot in his eyes, and finally She pursed her lips and nodded, said with a smile, "Exactly."

The wind and rain in the outside world was less severe than Ye Lai, Yu Chiyuan was in his tent listening to the guards report on the situation ahead.After hesitating all night, he couldn't make up his mind to order the soldiers to attack the city with ladders.Seeing that Pei Yu was silent at the side, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.When Pei Yu talked with himself the day before yesterday, he promised not to fight for the success of Los Angeles in exchange for his support in not withdrawing troops.Now that the morale of the army has been stabilized, who knows that Pei Yu will go back on his word, if he pretends to be false from now on, things will be a bit difficult.Wei Chiyuan is not lacking in tact and resourcefulness, but he has the courage to make decisive decisions in major matters.He used to be annoyed at Pei Yu's arbitrary decision, but now he felt that he had no idea and couldn't help frowning.

At that moment Yuchizhong came in from the outside and said in a rough voice: "Why is there so much rain in this city of Luo? It's almost drowned like a tortoise in the past few months." Then he said to Yuchiyuan, "Brother, do you want to attack the city or not?"

Yu Chiyuan glanced at him, feeling even more disturbed.He just waved his hand and said, "What's your name? I need to think about it again."

Suddenly, Pei Yu said: "Since the general is so hesitant, it can be seen that he can't make up his mind."

Yu Chiyuan was slightly embarrassed, and said: "The so-called general's anger can be restored to joy, anger can be restored to joy, but a subjugated country cannot be restored, and the dead cannot be reborn. This is why I hesitate."

Pei Yu said indifferently: "What the general said is correct. Besides, the groundwork must be well laid before it can be taken down at one stroke." He added, "The bunker built in the city earlier was abandoned by the enemy. Is it possible to get in now?"

A general said: "Maybe we can get in."

Pei Yu nodded and said, "Send someone in to have a look."

Yu Chiyuan said: "The supervising army is going to attack the city along the tunnel?"

Pei Yu shook his head and said: "This tunnel should lead to the city, and you can do some actions near the city wall."

Yu Chiyuan didn't know why yet, but Yu Chizhong shouted from the side: "I can save it, if the tunnel collapses, wouldn't a piece of the city wall also sink? The foundation is not stable, so it's easier for us to do it."

Pei Yu stood up and said, "What the Second General said is true, and that's what I mean."

Yu Chiyuan was overjoyed, and was about to deliver the order, but he saw Pei Yu walking outside the tent, and couldn't help asking: "Where is the supervisor going?"

Pei Yu didn't turn his head back, he just answered the wrong question: "With such heavy rain, the Luo River is going to churn."

The Xiyan army is in full swing, but they are still fighting in front of the formation.The high platform repaired in the city has risen from the ground, and the soldiers on the city have a solid backing, and they are not afraid of stone-throwing attacks from outside the city.In order to gain the upper hand, the two sides built high platforms on the opposite side, like the east wind and west wind, but it was inextricably separated for a while.The general of the Xiyan Army complained: "Could it be possible to pile up the tables all the way to the sky?"

On the top of the wall, Li Meng also worried: "I don't know how long this stalemate will last?"

Zhao Shen supported the crenel with his hands and said: "If we can capture the earth mountain, we can not only solve the siege, but also build a barrier around the city." He thought that he might go out of the city to fight, thinking of going to the army Xun Yuangui negotiated.But when he stood up straight suddenly, he suddenly felt a wave of gold stars flickering in front of his eyes.

Seeing him standing still suddenly, Li Meng quickly asked, "What's wrong with the general?"

At this moment, Zhao Shen's eyes became clear again.When he returned to the city, he was cold, and after a while of shivering, he felt stiffness in the back of his neck, accompanied by a hot throat and ringing in his ears.He thought it was raining and catching cold last night, so he didn't care about it, and he didn't want to show any strangeness, so he just said: "It's nothing."

When Fang came down to the city, he met Xie Rang head-on.Zhao Shen only felt that he was getting thinner and thinner day by day, wrapped in several layers of robes, hanging dangling on his body.Seeing Xie Rang coming towards him, he hurried forward.Raising his hand to support him, he felt that the arm was too thin and weak.Zhao Shen was surprised, then saw Xie Rang's face was dark and yellow, he was about to ask, but he heard Xie Rang said: "I'm looking for the general. There are not enough arrows in the city."

Zhao Shen pondered for a while when he heard the words, and then asked: "How about the food and grass?"

Xie Rang bowed his head and said: "The supply of rations has been gradually reduced these days, and it can last for a month with careful planning; what is more urgent now is the source of this arrow..."

Zhao Shen asked: "Can't make it out?"

Xie Rang said: "There is no material available."

Zhao Shen frowned slightly, and asked for a while, "Where did the arrows in Xiyan's army come from?"

Xie Rang said: "I heard that they gathered all kinds of craftsmen to rush to work day and night in the previously occupied city. I think the current supplies are all supplied in this way."

Zhao Shen closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then opened his eyes and said with a sneer: "Okay, since he has no shortage of supplies, then he can even take over the supply in the city."

Xie Rang asked, "General, what do you mean?"

Zhao Shendao: "You don't need to take care of the master, I will make arrangements and wait for a day or two."

Xie Rang seemed still worried, he hesitated for a moment but did not ask again.But Zhao Shen said: "Master, you should also take care of your body, why are you so thin?"

In fact, in the past half month, Xie Rang has often felt pain in the upper abdomen, and his back is also painful from time to time.The doctor checked the pulse and said that his liver qi was stagnant and his temper was weak, and even though he was given some decoctions for promoting gallbladder and removing blood stasis, there was no improvement.At this time Zhao Shen asked him, but he didn't want to say too much, he just said: "It's just that I've been a little tired recently."

Hearing this, Zhao Shen paused, he thought that Xie Rang's age was not young, if it was time for him to disarm and return to the fields in Taiping City, but now he is running around in the army, he would feel a little bit of feeling in his heart Feeling ashamed, said in a low voice: "It's hard work."

Saying goodbye to Xie Rang, Zhao Shen went straight to the cavalry barracks.At that time Yuan Gui was in the stables, Zhao Shen saw him and said with a smile, "You complained a few days ago and didn't like it, now you can fulfill your wish."

Yuan Gui also smiled and said, "Okay, let's hear what the general said?"

Zhao Shen then expressed his intention to seize the earth mountain, and finally said seriously: "The matter is very important, if you want to do it, you must plan it properly, and nothing will go wrong."

Yuan Gui said: "There are hundreds of people guarding the earth mountain. It's nothing to worry about, but now they have brought most of the infantry here too." After thinking about it, he said, "Does the general think that they will not attack the city for a while? If so, the infantry It may not be long before the formation."

Zhao Shendao: "It looks like this at the moment. Their arrangement is really weird, but I can't tell what's wrong with it." Seeing Yuangui frowning, he turned to say, "Let's watch first, you are ready. But there are other things tonight. "

Yuan Gui asked: "What's the matter?" Hearing Zhao Shen whispered in his ear, he couldn't help laughing, "This is interesting."

Zhao Shen also smiled and said: "It's just a trick to bluff people." Then he said, "You should prepare this matter together."
