Luoshui Dongliu

The guard who came in from the door had a shocked expression, and a pair of eyes looked back and forth between the general and the superintendent.Yu Chiyuan couldn't help frowning: "What?"

The guard came back to his senses, saluted slowly, and said: "The enemy army in the city sent out a coffin..."

This was halfway through, when Pei Yu's fingers were already clenched into his clothes, he suddenly felt dizzy and palpitated, but the voice still rang clearly in his ear, it was the guard who continued: "The body that was brought out is the body of General Min Yu..."

Yu Chiyuan couldn't help but let out an "oh" and subconsciously looked at Pei Yu.However, Pei Yu's lips were tightly pursed, his back was stretched straight, his jaw was raised slightly, his eyelids were drooping, and his nose fluttered slightly.Seeing him like this, Yu Chiyuan thought for a while, raised his hand and screened the guard who reported the message, and went out.

In addition to being shocked in his heart at the moment, he was also somewhat fortunate.Just now he and Pei Yu were arguing over this matter, and he was thinking about a way to make it fail without breaking his face, and he felt that there was no solution, and he didn't think that such news came at this moment.

As a result, the prisoner exchange matter naturally has nothing to say; Yu Chiyuan said silently in his heart: "Zhao Shen has relieved my siege this time." Determined, but if you turn it over, you can see that he must also feel that there is no hope of making a comeback.Yu Chiyuan sneered in his heart and said: "Now even though Zhao's son is willing to bow his head, I don't want to. But he is also obedient." He thought again, "Actually, even if I was killed on the boat that day, the ending of Luocheng changing hands would be unsatisfactory. It will change; just like this Luoshui, no matter who sits in the city by the river, it will flow eastward; the changes of the world are not changed by the life and death of one person or one thing, nor can one person and one thing be stopped. Sailing a boat in the tide, my boat was in danger but luckily never capsized, so I just wanted to take advantage of the wind and waves and take advantage of the momentum."

Thinking this way, he said to Pei Yu, "Zhao Shen was still so fierce and stubborn at the end of the road, it really is hopeless. Under such a situation, there is nothing to say, so let's launch the general offensive."

Seeing Pei Yu's eyes slightly closed, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and he was wondering if he still didn't give up?But I heard Pei Yu say: "This is a big matter, the general must make proper arrangements before the battle."

Yu Chiyuan smiled slightly, and said: "There is an overseer to help me watch, there is nothing wrong with it." After finishing speaking, he raised his voice, "Join the generals!"

This morning, everyone raised their tents and dispersed, and then they all returned to their tents.Yu Chiyuan straightened his armor, and ordered to send troops with a swaying appearance.Some of the people had heard about Min Yu, while others didn't know about it.Some people can't help feeling that there is no turning back on the way to death, and they only hope that they will not die at this critical moment.

After Yu Chiyuan's order was finished, he said again: "The cooking will start early in the morning, and if we eat every day, we will defeat Luo City."

A general laughed and said, "Actually, it's still early today. I can't wait any longer. Why don't you order the siege today!"

Yu Chiyuan smiled grimly, and said, "Today? Today I have other things to look at in the city." Then he said to Pei Yu, "What else do the supervisors have to say?"

Pei Yu said: "The heavy hammer used to charge the chariot during the siege should be prepared, it must be used."

Yu Chiyuan smiled and said, "Since the walls inside the city have collapsed, why do we need these things? Besides, it's inconvenient to transport luggage in the water."

Pei Yu seemed to be about to say something, but suddenly he couldn't stop coughing.He raised his sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, and when he calmed down, he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

After everyone was ordered to go, Yu Chiyuan whispered to Pei Yu, "Can the supervisor go to see General Min? It's also the last time."

Unexpectedly, Pei Yu shook his head and stood up, saying: "No need." Then he said, "As long as the general can not forget the past."

After saying that, without looking at Yu Chiyuan's slightly embarrassed face, he stepped out of the tent with his cuffs folded and headed towards his tent.He was still coughing intermittently all the way, and when he was walking by the tent door, the guard behind him suddenly saw clusters of bright red stains on Pei Yu's cuffs.While in doubt, Pei Yu whispered, "Help me..."

It seemed that these words could come out of his mouth, the guard almost thought he didn't hear well, but his hands and feet stretched out.He touched Pei Yu's elbow with his arm, and suddenly he heard a "cough", and saw that a mouthful of blood had spewed out.

Pei Yu's face was pale, but his cheeks were red, his lips were blue, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist; the guard almost withdrew his hands in shock, but finally helped Pei Yu to stand still, and asked in a trembling voice: " Overseer?"

At this moment, Pei Yu's cough seemed to be lightened, and he only said, "I want to go in."

The guard hurriedly waited on him according to his words, and said again, "Please ask the medical officer?"

Pei Yu seemed to laugh with a "hum", and said, "No need, I don't know if I want them to come. It's nothing more than that." He pointed to the box in the tent and said, "It's a good match." The elixir, you took it and gave it to me."

The guard saw that there were several bamboo stalks in the row, but he didn't know which one was a medicine box; he had to open them one by one to check, sweating profusely.Pei Yu leaned on the couch and said, "What are you panicking about?" After the guard found the medicine box with great difficulty and brought it out, he presented it in front of Pei Yu's eyes, and seeing him nodding for confirmation, Fang Fengshui came up to help him take it.

Pei Yu wanted to lie down on his back, but he couldn't because he was so stuffy, so he had to prop up half of his body.Seeing that the guard was still kneeling at the side, he raised his hand and took the medicine box from his hand.Holding it in his hand, he looked at it for a moment, then smiled to himself and said, "It turns out that what I can't do without now is Li Ji." The guard only thought that the superintendent blamed him for his lack of power, and said, "I'm stupid, the superintendent Military forgiveness."

Pei Yu looked at him for a while, put the medicine box back in his hand, and said flatly, "It has nothing to do with you." After saying that, he felt the oppression in his chest getting heavier, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.The guard only felt that this sigh made his whole heart go out, his heart was like a fierce autumn wind blowing, infinitely desolate and desolate.

The defenders of Luo City saw a sudden commotion on the dirt hill, but they couldn't see the situation clearly.After a while of chaotic energy passed, I saw a Zhang Xu high pole erected on the ground, they couldn't help but secretly said: "What is this?"

After a while, I saw soldiers from the Xiyan Army pushing a figure up, and a soldier at the top of the wall hesitated and said, "It looks like..."

Hearing Xiyan soldiers shout loudly: "Look at the city, this is your general who guards the earth mountain, and we have arrested him here!"

A leader in the city exclaimed in shock: "Didn't you say that the whole army was wiped out earlier? Why was General Yu captured by them?" In the current situation, he was killed on the spot but it was all over, but it is worrying to fall into the hands of the enemy.The other end pondered for a while, then shouted to both sides: "No one is allowed to make trouble!" Then he turned to a soldier beside him and said in a low voice, "Go and invite General Zhao here."

At that time Zhao Shenzheng and Yuan Gui were in the cavalry.The stables were also flooded, although war horses are not afraid of water.But horseshoes and horse legs are always soaked in cold water, and the strength of the feet will be damaged.The rations in the city were already insufficient, and it was even more difficult to feed the horses. Some of the weaker ones could no longer hold on to their knees, panting.From the corners of the horse's eyes, which used to be black in the past, there were crystal drops of water dripping from the corners of their eyes, like teardrops.

Yuan Gui slammed his fist on the horse stake, saying: "This kind of consumption can't be carried by any famous species, it will be in vain."

Zhao Shen was silent for a long time and seemed to have finally made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "Le Tai, prepare to lead the cavalry to break through."

Yuan Gui was startled suddenly, only to hear Zhao Shen say: "I told you at Sishuiguan that day that you would take the brothers away; now I will say it again."

Yuan Gui was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help pushing the long lance to the ground, and said loudly: "What can the general say? Why do you always ask me to do such unrighteous things!"

Zhao Shen frowned and said, "What are you shouting about? How can this be unjust?"

Yuan Gui said: "Since it's a good thing, why didn't the general lead the troops himself?" At this time, who doesn't know that the more you stay in the city, the more dangerous it will be. If only one person can escape from the city, he also hopes that this person is Zhao Shen; Yuan Gui naturally understood Zhao Shen's reluctance to abandon the city and run away, but he only said that on purpose.

Zhao Shen didn't want to get entangled with him, so he couldn't help but sternly said: "Don't talk too much, this is a military order."

Yuan Gui stared and said, "Then I'd rather disobey the order!"

Just as he was shouting, a guard suddenly ran up, and before he got there, he said: "General, please go to the city, General Yu Wenlue... was detained by them on the dirt hill."

Both of them were taken aback when they heard the words, Yuan Gui also knew that Zhao Shen took the captured enemy's body back to Pei Yu to persuade him to surrender, at this moment his mind was overturned, he only said "bad".Seeing that Zhao Shen had already followed the soldier, he thought for a while and followed.

The people in the city only watched Xiyan soldiers cut Yu Wenlue's arms backwards, bound his wrists and pulled him up to the pole with ropes.The armor on his body has not been taken off, and the weight of the man and the armor are only hung on a pair of wrists, and his flesh is ground to blood when he struggles.Seeing him being pulled along with the rope, the soldiers of Xiyan couldn't help laughing and said, "I'll pay you well today."

On the one hand, Yu Chiyuan wanted to avenge the humiliation of the embarrassment on the water that day, and on the other hand, he also wanted to break down the morale of the defenders, so he made this farce before the battle.Yu Wenlue was contemptuous in his heart, gritted his teeth and cursed: "You guys will only use these ghost tricks!"

A small leader said: "He is rarely babbling, and he shouted to the city!"

Several people shouted loudly: "Look at the people in the city. If you want to suffer less fragmentary torture, you will put down your weapons and bind yourself, and I will spare you a quick end; or you will kill yourself. If you still resist, today The one who hangs the high pole, you will be the one in the future!"

Suddenly I heard Yu Wenlue yelling from above: "I have a very high vision on this, but it is very good!"

He has been tough since he was captured, and the soldiers of the Xiyan Army hated him for a long time. At this time, someone stabbed him with a spear and scolded: "Is this okay?"

Everyone in the city saw the blood from the wound flowing down the gaps in the armor, and there was even blood gushing out from the mouth and nose, they couldn't bear to watch this situation any longer.Fang looked back and saw Zhao Shen coming up to the city, they all said: "The general is here."

Zhao Shen didn't have time to look aside, and when he leaned forward to have a look, he felt that the spear was piercing his heart.He couldn't help saying loudly to Tushan: "I am Zhao Shen, come to me what you want to say."

The little leader on the earth hill saw him, and suddenly remembered the power of the bow and arrow. He was afraid that the head of the city would be annoyed, and an arrow would take his life. Hurt to go."

Everyone gave up, but the leader shouted again: "We have nothing to say, just to let you see what will happen to you in the future!"

He was still triumphant, but Yu Wenlue's voice overshadowed him, and he only heard him say: "The courage of the people in my city can be bluffed by this little scene? But your behavior is ridiculous to see, and to think about it despicable!"

His words were full of contempt, several soldiers were so excited by him that they shouted one by one: "If you are more arrogant, I will cut off your tongue!"

Zhao Shen's heart was on fire, he didn't care much, he just said: "Let your master speak in the future!"

The leader smiled strangely and said: "Isn't General Zhao always impatient to speak before the battle? Now General Yuchi is too busy preparing to attack the city, so he has no time." Then he said to Yu Wenlue, "Don't you feel good, so hang yourself up?" Let's watch how your Luo City falls here." Seeing Zhao Shen's panic because of Yu Wenlue, he couldn't help saying proudly, "I think he is worried about this enemy general here, no matter how angry he is, he won't dare to do anything to me... ..." Thinking to himself, as if he was not the one who was shot to death by an arrow because of worry just now, he became more and more wanton.

After all, someone in the city couldn't bear to be provoked by the little boss's scandal.At this time he was proud, a long arrow suddenly passed through his throat, there was still a grin on his face, the dead body had turned over and fell down.

Suddenly there was a commotion on the earth mountain, Zhao Shen was also startled, he couldn't help shouting: "Who is so reckless!"

On the contrary, Yu Wenlue laughed loudly and said: "Okay!" After laughing, he suddenly shouted to the city: "General! You don't have to take care of me, just give me an arrow at this moment to make it happen!" He said again, " My life has already been changed by someone else, and death is not a pity; but even if I die today, I will pay off Yang Dutong's righteous deed that day, and I don't know if I can live up to his entrustment to protect his family? General!"

Before he could finish his words, everyone in the Xiyan army shouted: "This is so talkative, I really can't ask him to talk anymore!" Then someone came up with a spear, Yu Wenlue sneered and cursed, and the man pointed at him in a rage. He stabbed on the side of the mouth and cheek, and his face was covered with blood for a while; someone shouted, "I will kill him with a knife and a gun!"

Yu Wenlue's voice was difficult to articulate, and at this moment he just said in a vague way: "General, you will be fulfilled with me, so that I will be decent before I die, and not be humiliated by these young people!"

There was a dead silence in the city, everyone felt their throats were tight, and many people's eyes felt blurred.For a moment, Zhao Shen paused and said, "Bring me a bow and arrow."

Zhou Gan came over for a while, but just lowered his head and didn't move. He raised his bow and arrow above his head for a long time.Zhao Shen held the bow with one hand, and it didn't move for a long time, as if it weighed a thousand weights.Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in his heart, "Fine."

Never before did he know how this word of sorrow in the world can hurt people's hearts; in the imaginary and sung, he only talked about the bloody soldiers and horses, what an open and upright scene; but who would have thought about it now—even he himself had never thought about it, At this moment, his hands had to be stained with the blood of his comrades.

Zhou Qian still held Zhao Shen's bow and arrow, he looked down at the ground, his face was covered with tears.At this moment, the hard bow is leaving his lift inch by inch, passing by inch by inch of coldness; Zhou Gan knows who is taking the longbow in his hand-this pair of bows and arrows, he takes care of the general After several years, he is familiar with every texture on the bow body.At this moment, the bowstring that he played with every day caused unbearable pain in his palm, and the thin one was like a sharp knife, breaking the heart and breaking the lungs and breaking the liver and intestines.

For a long time, Zhou Gan only heard the sound of a blare breaking through the sky. Zhou Gan suddenly felt as if awakened from a start. He raised his eyes to see Zhao Shen's face was pale, and the arm holding the bow suddenly fell down as if broken; he couldn't help but looked up and exclaimed: "General!"

Zhao Shen stood silent for a moment, then turned his back suddenly.Everyone saw that he slightly held his chest and arched his back as if he had been slapped in the stomach, and his whole body seemed to be supported by the arched back leaning on the ground to stand upright.They couldn't help but gather around, and they all called out in a low voice: "General..."

Zhao Shen suddenly straightened his body and turned his back, with a long cry of "cough".The tens of thousands of difficulties that have been shouldered, only let out this little bit, and it has been heard, but it has caused many people to sigh indignantly.Zhou Gan suddenly thought of the bowstring that was stretched to the extreme and was about to break in a moment, and he was startled. He leaned on the long bow and asked in a trembling voice: "General...is there nothing wrong..."

After a while, Fang heard Zhao Shen say: "It's just my responsibility, I can't avoid it. It's nothing."

Lao Pei is suffering from rheumatic heart disease and heart failure. This should be quite common under the hygienic conditions in ancient times... Even the incident of angina pectoris can also be explained...

When I wrote the last paragraph, I was thinking of Kubrick’s version of Spartacus, where Crassus was about to be captured and Spartacus and Antony fought. He was crucified and said "I want to see the friendship of the slaves".Both Spartacus and Antony tried to kill each other, because such a death would be more merciful than crucifixion.In the end, when Spartacus hugged Anthony's body, he was really a mouthful of old blood... In fact, Sir Crassus is also very charming. When he stood in front of Spartacus, he couldn't help but act want to shout "together!" (dirt...
