Luoshui Dongliu

Xie Rang staggered out of Zhao Shen's camp, but was suddenly stopped by someone.When I looked at it again, it was Yuan Gui who looked anxious, seeing him, he only asked: "Master, how is General Zhao?"

Xie Rang's heart skipped a beat when he heard his nonsense.Seeing his expression, Yuan Gui felt more uneasy, and asked, "Why don't we call the medical officer?"

Xie Rang was even more shocked, thinking that Yuan Gui knew something.No matter how sad Zhao Shen was for hiding Lu Youzhi's deeds, he also understood that once this matter was revealed, the army's morale would be shaken, and the situation would be out of control.He weighed the weight in his heart.It was just now that Lu Youzhi promised him to "break it up" face to face, and his appearance was not prevarication.It is the most appropriate way out to get rid of this matter quietly.But at this moment, Yuan Gui's words, he heard in his ears, how could he not feel alarmed.

Seeing Xie Rang's face, Yuan Gui couldn't hide his astonishment, and he couldn't help but said: "I know the general didn't want to publicize his illness before, because he was afraid of damaging everyone's morale before the war. But now the earth mountain has been acquired..." He hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again He was a little trembling, and said, "Master, could it be that... what's wrong with it?" Ye Lai's plan to go out of the city changed, and he guessed that Zhao Shen was unable to go out. Others said.He was a person who couldn't hide his words, and he couldn't stand the torment in the middle of the night.Seeing Xie Rang's strange expression at this time, recalling Zhao Shen's description during the day, he immediately thought of all the bad things.

His preface didn't match the latter, but Xie Rang guessed it through his observations.All of a sudden, he felt the blood stains flashing before his eyes, and he was startled in his heart.But seeing Yuan Gui's anxious expression, he couldn't show any worry in his heart at this time, he just said: "That's fine." Seeing Yuan Gui stepping forward, he stopped him and said, "Don't go now. This night, let the general take a good rest."

Yuan Gui still felt uneasy in his heart, but after hearing the master's words, his tone was unquestionable, and he finally nodded and said: "Then I will go back to the army first."

In the inner tent, Zhao Shen was lying on the couch, while Lu Youzhi had already lifted up his shirt little by little.The cut piece on Zhao Shen's waist was oozing blood, and most of the swollen marks were peeled off by iron rods.After the blood was wiped off, the exposed flesh was pale, but the skin on both sides of the swollen scars turned purple.Lu Youzhi bit his lip tightly, only to feel the muscles of his body under his hands tense up and down, and his fingers trembled involuntarily.

In the tent, only the sound of Zhao Shenji's heavy breathing was heard, but neither of them spoke.After Lu Youzhi was done cooking, he covered him with a quilt, but Zhao Shen suddenly asked, "What did the master say when he left?"

Lu Youzhi looked at the sweat on Zhao Shen's forehead seeping into his temples, and said, "I didn't say anything."

Zhao Shen turned his head to stare at him and said, "Master Yuan, you promised me not to talk about life and death."

Lu Youzhi's eyes twitched. He didn't say this clearly, but both of them understood the meaning.Seeing Zhao Shen's eager eyes, Lu Youzhi thought about his troubles during the day, and now he didn't want him to spend any more time, so he smiled calmly and said, "Don't think too much about it." Then he said, "Besides, you are still here."

Zhao Shen nodded silently upon hearing this.He didn't know whether it was a promise or comfort, but by now, too many things had gone out of his control.What Lu Youzhi just said just now has a different meaning after careful consideration: what does he mean by fulfillment?In fact, if it is a wishful thing in the world, there is no need to talk about having a clear conscience; those silent or fierce persistence and endurance may be said to be just "unwilling" in the end, but in practice it is necessary to let go of this heart without fear. Flesh and blood were scattered and crushed into dust.

After a long time, Zhao Shen asked, "What time is it?"

Lu Youzhi said: "It's not Yinshi yet."

Zhao Shen glanced inside the tent, and said in a low voice, "Help me put on the armor."

Lu Youzhi understood Zhao Shen's thoughts, and seeing him standing up, although his heart ached, he didn't say anything to stop him.I just carefully helped him fasten the armor belt one by one, and finally said: "After all, don't be too brave."

Zhao Shen said: "I know it myself." Then he said, "You can't see anything wrong?"

Lu You's throat suddenly seemed to be tightly strangled, and he suppressed the trembling of his fingers for a long time and stroked Zhao Shen's temples, saying: "It's all good."

He watched Zhao Shen's back, and felt that every step was on his own heart.But seeing Zhao Shen walking to the tent door, he suddenly turned his head and grinned at him, "It's all right, you can rest."

That smile seemed like he had never experienced any illnesses or pains in the past few days, and his visit was just an ordinary practice for a day.Lu Youzhi responded with a slight smile, and watched Zhao Shen lift the curtain to go out. Fang Jue's eyes were blurred, and his eyes were full of hot tears.He had already said in his heart that parting is precious, but he didn't expect Zhao Shen to freeze in front of him with such a carefree smile.His heavy and hazy heart was silently illuminated again at this moment.

Zhao Shen stepped out of the tent, but saw that the sky had been rainy and dark for several days, but after this night, it was clear again.The morning light suddenly appeared, the sun had not yet risen, and the city tower was still in the shadows.However, the distant sky has been tinged with red, like candlelight in the dark night, and this cluster alone exudes a sense of warmth.Zhou Gan followed him, and asked Chi Chi, "General?"

Seeing his probing look, Zhao Shen only smiled lightly and said, "Go to Nancheng."

When we reached the south city, we suddenly saw a formation of more than a hundred cavalry troops.The soldiers stand by the horse, with a long bow behind their backs, a horse rein in one hand, a spear in the other, and a quiver with a straight knife hanging from the horse's belly.Everyone described it as tidy, and even the horses were not wandering around.Seeing this situation, Zhao Shen was also slightly taken aback, Yuan Gui had already stepped out, followed by Yu Wenlue.Yuan Gui said: "I'll be on standby all night, and I've seen the general at this time." He saw Zhao Shen's face was still pale, but his determination and determination did not show any signs of fatigue. When he was shocked, he suddenly said loudly: "Ask the general if you have any other orders, I will die!"

At that time, the food and grass in the city were getting scarce, and the heavy troops outside the city attacked the city more and more tightly, and everyone felt heavy in their hearts for a few days.In a fierce battle last night, a surprise soldier repelled the enemy army on the earth mountain of the city, like a wedge stuck in front of the formation, just like when the mountains and rivers are at the end of the day, the eyes suddenly open up, and a turning point is seen in the endgame.Hearing Yuan Gui's high-spirited tone at this moment, all the cavalry soldiers also felt relieved, they echoed in unison in the formation: "Kill! Kill!" The majestic voice attracted all the soldiers on the lower side of the city to join in.In the clear morning wind, the call was like the morning sun splitting the clouds and fog, and flocks of birds fluttered their wings and flew eastward.

In the Xiyan army tent, Pei Yu paced slowly in front of the tent, several officers knelt on the ground, shy away from speaking.It was a big mistake that Yelai Tushan was attacked and lost, not to mention that it was negligent because it did not strictly abide by the military order, so it let go of the enemy dressed as straw men.Thinking of the example of the past, everyone's heart trembles.

Pei Yu remained silent, and Yu Chiyuan asked downwards, "What else can I say?"

The leader in front of the battle also knew that he was doomed, so he said in a low voice for a long while: "Young one, plead guilty."

At this time, I heard Pei Yu say: "It is not the first time that the army declares that military orders are strict. I don't understand why this happens all the time."

Most of Sui Yuchi's subordinates were subdued during the chaos of the four towns, and even those who followed him were mostly from the Hu clan; When leading troops, there are people who are good at advancing and retreating.Later, Han general Hanchen served in the army, and the military regulations were gradually established, but until now, there are still such scenes.

Everyone also knew the meaning of Pei Yu's words, and Yu Chiyuan couldn't help but couldn't help it. When Yu Chizhong saw him, he finally couldn't help saying: "The incident last night was also due to the cunning of the enemy army, and no one had intentions; the supervisor should not take it." The military order said that those few heads that were cut off were first, and now they are much stronger than before."

Yu Chiyuan shouted: "Shut up."

Pei Yu didn't see any anger, and said slowly: "The second general felt that I was unarmed, so I suddenly stepped into your army and killed your subordinates. I just ask, how much more will I lose in the future if I lose the mountain today?" How many people were killed or injured? You just said that you didn’t have any intentions, how many flesh and blood of soldiers can be worth that one head without intention, isn’t this flesh and blood from your army?”

He was only in the middle of speaking, Yu Chiyuan heard that the words were not right, he hurriedly stopped him and said: "It's all business, why should the supervising army say that?"

Pei Yu glanced from under his seat and said, "I'm not afraid to say this clearly. Everyone thinks that when there is no ego to make noise, the battle is also fought in this way; but if you can win like this, I will still say what I said before. Who thinks I don't know the proper way to appeal to the grand master, please feel free."

Yu Chiyuan replied in a blink of an eye, "The people in this army are all for the sake of winning the battle."

When everyone listened to Yuchizhong's words, they originally agreed in their hearts; when Pei Yu came to the army, the generals felt very uncomfortable and only regarded him as a nuisance, until they heard the last sentence "war can be won", they were all startled.Now, there is no way to withdraw the army, and only by winning can we break out of this quagmire.

Someone said: "We don't have those thoughts, we just want to work together to win." Before the words fell, there were already many responses.When Pei Yu's voice calmed down, he said, "Everyone should really understand."

At this moment, a guard outside raised the curtain and whispered next to Pei Yu, "Here we are."

I saw Fan Yi holding a handful of papers, lowering his head tightly to enter the account.Pei Yu stopped suddenly, turned his head and said, "How?"

Fan Yi murmured: "We surveyed the hydrology this morning. It has been raining heavily for the past few days, and the Luohe River has swelled quite a bit. However, it is still not enough to achieve what the supervising army wishes."

Pei Yu said, "But today the sky is fine."

Fan Yi said: "The only difference is the rain."

Pei Yu said: "It's raining, so it can't be done at this time?"

Fan Yi still said in a dull tone, "No."

Pei Yu stood with his arms folded, and everyone secretly looked at his expression, sighing in their hearts that Fan Yi is a blind idiot.After a while, Pei Yu calmed down and said, "Then we can only wait?"

Fan Yi seemed to think about it for a while, and said: "It is said in the classics that offering sacrifices to the God of Heaven, Earth and Water can pray for rain."

Hearing this, Pei Yu nodded slightly and said, "Then build an altar by the Luoshui River." Then he turned to several officers on the ground and said, "Put these people under arrest, and then sacrifice to the god of military law and water." He pondered for a while, then said again , "No, put the altar in front of the formation!"

By this time, everyone in the Xiyan army knew of Pei Yu's plan to lure Luoshui and capture Luocheng.The main channel of the Luo River runs along the south side of Luo City from west to east, and there are many winding tributaries running north-south along the way.Based on hydrological research, Fan Yi avoided his own camp, and then chose one, widening the proximal end, so that the Luoshui River would diverge more, and build a dam with earth and rocks to block the far end, so that the water would accumulate in it.After several heavy rains, the water level increased by every inch, and a hanging river appeared on the flat ground.Once the embankment breaks, the flood water will overflow and flow towards Los Angeles through the old river course and the slope of the terrain.What kind of shocking scene will be at that time, everyone only thinks about it, and they are already frightened.

Yu Chizhong secretly said to Yu Chiyuan: "It's thanks to Pei Yu that he came up with such a method."

Yu Chiyuan sighed: "In order to get this city, he really did not hesitate to live or die."

When night fell on this day, Zhao Shen patrolled the southwestern two city defenses, and said to Li Meng: "There is only one thing that I can't think about right here, that is how to provide daily supplies on the earth mountain."

Li Meng said: "The general is just talking about what I have been thinking about in the past." Then he said, "The general will go down to the city with me. I have already sent someone to invite the master. He is an expert in transshipment."

Zhao Shen didn't want Li Meng to be so fast, secretly he felt out of breath, but he heard Li Meng say again: "The master came here really fast, it's just such a high city, what is he doing here?"

Xie Rang had already been half-supported and half-supported by a guard to the city, Zhao Shen saw that he was so breathless that he could barely speak, he couldn't help but was very surprised, he didn't care about the embarrassment, he went to help him a few steps and said: " If something happens in the future, I will go to the master account and say that it is..."

But Xie Rang waved his hands and didn't want him to help him, saying: "It's better not to go to this tent, and I can't bear to bother the general to move around at night."

Zhao Shen's face turned red, and he couldn't help clasping the buckle with his fingers.The lips were opened and closed several times, but it was difficult to say a word.Xie Rang turned his face slightly, but Li Meng didn't notice anything different, but just about to speak, he suddenly asked: "What happened in the camp?"

Everyone was startled, and when they looked into the city again, Li Meng exclaimed: "General, it seems your tent is on fire!" "Go and see, what's going on?"

Zhou Gan saw the fire at this time, he was panicked for a while, he was walking down the city, but he heard Zhao Shen suddenly send an order behind him: "Everyone in the camp must not leave their posts without authorization, beware of the fire spreading, someone will take advantage of the chaos to make changes." Zhou Gan said, "You stay calm and everything must be done properly."

Zhou Gan turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that Zhao Shen's face was all stiff, as if he was gritting his teeth to say this sentence steadily.Zhou Qian's heart sank and fluctuated, and he took two deep breaths. Fang felt a little more stable, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

At that time, the camp saw that the Lord's tent was on fire, and soldiers patrolling the camp had already gone to put out the fire.Zhao Shen's camp was close to the gate, and the guards on duty at the gate also came up to help put out the fire, the fire was not that big at all, although the thick smoke choked the nose and dazzled the eyes, it did not cause any chaos after all.Several people stood at the top of the wall, and Li Meng watched anxiously.However, Zhao Shen's ears were ringing, as if his mind was taken away for a moment.He stood motionless, the sound around him seemed to be drifting away and dispersed, Lu Youzhi's indifferent face flashed before his eyes, and the sky was full of flames and blood.For a moment, he seemed to lose all five senses, only his fingers were still buckled on the buckle, and the cold and hard pattern pierced deeply into the tiger's mouth, but it seemed to remind him not to get upset and lose his composure.He heard Lu Youzhi say to him: "I'll make it with you," he could only hear the determination in that voice at this time; after a long time, he suddenly woke up as if he was awakened by the cold air he inhaled, and he felt the pulse of blood in his chest again.In the trance just now, he seemed to have realized it, and at this moment subconsciously turned his head to look at Xie Rang.Xie Rang's face was pale, he shook his head in astonishment and sighed, but when his eyes met his, he nodded slightly.

At that moment, Zhou Gan rushed to the city and said, "The fire is gone, half of the camp collapsed. It was the general's tent that started the fire." He took a breath, looked at Zhao Shen and said, "It seems, it seems to be because of the copper furnace that the general burned last night. Never extinguished..." He saw Zhao Shen's eyes flickering, bright and frightening, and said after a long while, "It was an accident, I never saw... anyone..."
