feud

Runan County.

The autumn wind is bleak, and people are panicking.

The last batch of grain and grass from the imperial court arrived, and there was an imperial decree. The reason why it was said to be the last was because Qiao County had already fallen.

Liang Jun had no choice but to fight back, and now it seems that a last stand is the last way.On the first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, at dawn, Han Kuang called all the generals to his camp, told everyone that he wanted to take the initiative to fight back, and showed the results of his training for nearly a month to the soldiers. they watch.

The usual death-like silence.

General Cheqi was the first to support Han Kuang pervertedly. This battle will be fought sooner or later. Qiao County has fallen, and it is not good for him to delay it.Zhuge Gong knew the reason for their silence, so he said: "Although the number is not as large as that of the other party, the number of soldiers is more valuable than the number. This time the Chu army went south, most of them were Xianbei slaves and Qiang slaves who were conquered by them. They share the same bed and different dreams. , what is there to be afraid of?"

The crowd whispered to each other for a while, and Han Kuangchao said to the crowd: "There is a rift between the monarchs and ministers of the state of Chu, and the worship of wine and meat pools does not hear about military affairs. This is a good opportunity given to us by God. If we continue to delay, the army will be short of food, and our army will die without fighting. , then it will be too late to regret it!"

After the imperial decree came down, the emperor didn't say a word about Chen Jieyuan, and the person who conveyed the decree said a few shocking words, and finally ended with the sentence "everything will be handled by the general of the town army".

Han Kuang couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, and Zhuge Gong was also skeptical about this unclear edict, but there was one point, he was the same as Han Kuang.

Han Kuang: "Do you have any objections? That's it, go back and rectify the troops, and cross the river tomorrow at noon to attack."

The generals retreated one after another. Han Kuang went outside and talked with the [-] elite soldiers for a while before returning to the camp. He was not surprised that Zhuge Gong was still here. Zhuge Gong kept looking at him while studying the book of war.

-

August [-]th is destined to be a day that will be talked about by historians of later generations.

Luoyang, Cen Li looked up at Guyun from time to time to make sure that he was in the right direction. Next to him was Sima Wei, behind him were Zhong Yi, He Lianyu and a thousand cavalry. He left a thousand in the palace, mainly because he was afraid of Liu Bai or others. The general of the Chu army turned his head and shot.

Liu Baiyi didn't close his eyes all night, the strength of the elderly is still not as good as that of young people, a soldier kindly came up to remind him to rest, but was beheaded by Liu Bai with a knife.

Liu Bai: "The tiger and wolf are by your side, maybe if you close your eyes, there will be no chance to open them again."

After a night of hard fighting, neither side could get any good results. Liu Bai is sure that after a long time, the ant-eating wall will collapse, and the outcome will be hard to tell.

However, the strange thing is that just after dawn, Zhao Bing began to call for gold to withdraw his troops, as if he had returned after knowing the difficulties, and seemed to be fleeing falsely.

"General, they are heading south!"

Hearing what his subordinates said, Liu Bai just gave a faint "hmm", turned around and went down the gate tower.

"I know you're listening, Wang Bing. Let me tell you the truth. Last year you concealed your identity and went deep into the tiger's den. It must have been to save your father. But you don't know. Kou was afraid that Chongyan would make your father even more powerful, so he ordered to kill Wang Fu." Liu Bai gritted his teeth, squatted down to look at him, and continued to make up a lie that sounded flawless: "Your enemy is not me, why not?" Willing to cooperate?"

Wang Bing closed his eyes, turned his head, and couldn't move his hands and feet. It was estimated that his tendons and hamstrings were injured from the concussion, and his limbs and wrists were congested.

It must not be easy for Wang Bing to stay in Zhao Jun's barracks, and he may even know some important clues that can turn the tide of the battle.Thinking like this, Liu Bai lowered his body time and time again to get some information, but all he got was silence that was more insulting than swearing.He has lost his patience, and no longer has expectations for a prisoner. After losing a battle and losing an arm, he really needs an outlet.

Wang Bing knew that this guy was completely irritated by him. He could pretend to cooperate with Liu Bai and tell him some false information, but Wang Bing didn't do that.

Because if...if Cen Li saw himself standing behind Liu Bai, if he had any doubts and wavered, then Wang Bing would choose to die here.

"You are worthless." Liu Bai pulled out his waist knife, and the blade lightly scratched Wang Bing's left hand. The skin on the sleeve was torn, and the sleeve was stained red with blood.

It is easier for him to kill Wang Bing who fell on the ground than to crush an ant. His purpose of killing now is to vent his anger.

The knife was cut on the gouged wound, Liu Bai saw the deep bone wound, and laughed, as if a child found a new toy, the blade turned, and the blade bit by bit drilled into the blood hole He went in and said, "Are you going to tell me? Son of a traitor, what kind of conspiracy is Liu Huaxin up to? If you don't tell me, I'll dismember you."

Wang's illness was not cured by the wind and cold, and he lay on the ground all night in the cold autumn night, his whole body was hot, but he felt that he was dying of cold, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and he was awakened by the unbearable pain.This person disgusted him, so he bit his lip so hard that he didn't even utter a whimper.

It was the first time Liu Bai encountered such a disobedient captive, so angry that he stepped on Wang Bing's left hand, his bones creaked under the weight, and Wang Bing passed out completely.relief.

"General, let me figure it out..."

The person who captured Wang Bing couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward timidly and said: "Now the enemy has retreated, but the upper east gate has been broken, and the situation is still very unfavorable to us."

Liu Bai said irritably: "Sooner or later that idiot King Sheng died on a woman's belly, what does it have to do with us? Go to the east gate, go to the east gate, go to the east gate!!! How many Zhao dogs are there..."

"Forget it, you are here to guard the city gate, and I will take away two thousand. They must be enjoying women and jewelry in the palace now. Do you know that Liang people have a saying that mantis catch cicadas and orioles follow?"

The man looked at the strange smile on Liu Bai's face, couldn't help but shuddered, and said, "Then this...this...general, this...this person doesn't care?"

Liu Bai: "Who said it doesn't matter? Throw it here to reward our hard-working soldiers. They are tired from fighting and need to vent. I see that you have made great achievements in protecting the Lord just now, so I will let you enjoy it first." After finishing speaking, Liu Bai called the doctor The officer came to change the medicine for his hand.

The sun rose, and the sunlight danced on the face stained with blood and scars. The eyelashes were slightly longer than the average person, the thin lips were slightly parted, the reddish cheeks and lips were pale, sick, bloody and deadly. The temptation, the thin body is like scattered puppets, so fragile that people want to tear it up and destroy it.

"But... the general..."

"Why are you such a mother-in-law?" After the medicine was ready, Liu Bai's face was extremely bad, and he was about to order the soldiers to come down, when the man said again: "General, this person's status is not ordinary, maybe they... It's not what we want You see, Liu Huaxin left him in the barracks and raised the same eagle, maybe he has other value... Yes! We can use him to blackmail Liu Huaxin! General..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Bai said, "Liu Huaxin will retreat for the son of an enemy who destroyed his country? He is the prince of Zhao, not the hero in an opera."

"Try...try it, General, I always feel that this person is not simple."

-

Cen Li followed Guyun, he chose the nearest road and walked through Tongtuo Street majestically, as if entering no one's land, the gates of government offices and mansions on both sides of the street were closed, unexpectedly walked for a while, but collided with the oncoming Chu army So, Cen Li didn't see Liu Bai in the carriage. To him, no matter who came, he was a hindrance and deserved to be killed.

Cen Li was trying to rescue someone, and gave the order without thinking, but a voice from the opposite side suddenly interrupted him, saying, "Liu Huaxin, Wang is sick in my hands, if you want him to die, just call him here."

Cen Li opened his eyes wide in surprise when he heard this, and then his face was terribly gloomy.Simawei shuddered, turned to look at the thoroughly enraged beast beside him, and lowered his voice to remind him: "Beware of being tricked!"

Cen Li stared at the carriage surrounded by the cavalry. He knew that Wang Bing was inside, and he could feel that the man was begging for help. From the beginning of the corner, the cry of that person has been heard in my ears.

Liu Bai came out of the carriage, and seeing Cen Li's expression that might pounce on him to kill him at any moment, he laughed in satisfaction, and said to the people beside him, "You're right, this person is indeed very valuable."

"Thank you General for your compliment."

With a smug smile on the corner of Liu Bai's mouth, he looked at Cen Li and deliberately raised his voice, "Bring him out."

The sound of iron chains colliding was particularly loud on the street that accommodated 3000 people. First, a person got off the carriage, followed by four iron chains as thick as a baby's arms. The man stood on the ground and pulled the four chains on his hands When the ring of the iron chain slammed, Wang Bing fell heavily from the carriage like a corpse.

In an instant, the surroundings turned white, and Cen Li could only see the man lying on the ground. He couldn't make a sound, his breathing was blocked, and his heart seemed to have stopped.

Sima Wei: "Wait..."

Cen Li drew his waist saber and pinched the horse's belly. A Niu rushed forward, followed closely by Zhong Yi, and a thousand cavalry followed faithfully with their sabers drawn. Ruo Er: "If you go any further, I will kill him."

Cen Li didn't rein in his horse.

Liu Bai: "He belongs to Wang Fu..."

When Liu Bai said this, he deliberately emphasized the word "Wang Fu".

Cen Li barely restrained A Niu, bit his lower lip to bleed blood, and glared angrily.Liu Bai pinpointed Cen Li's lifeline, once Wang Bing's identity was known by others, Zhao Jun would have no place for him.

What's more, Zhao Guo's soldiers will kill him with a hundred times more cruel methods than Liu.

Zhong Yi looked curiously at Cen Li who stopped suddenly, and asked, "Wang Fu? Is that guy crazy? What is he talking about?"

"He's crazy." Cen Li said, every word seemed to be forced out from a blood-vomiting throat between his teeth.

Liu Bai felt like a victor who surrendered without fighting. He had fought for half his life, and it was the first time he felt that fighting was such a wonderful thing.

"Back." Liu Bai grabbed the iron chain that bound Wang Bing's left hand, lifted his left hand, and said, "You don't want to see him being stripped naked."

Wang Bing was facing the carriage, only one hand was lifted up, it really looked like a puppet being manipulated by someone.Cen Li couldn't see his face, only saw the scarred hand exposed under the bloody wide sleeve, then he dismounted and stepped back step by step.

Zhong Yi: "Your Highness!"

Cen Li: "Back off."

Zhong Yi gritted his teeth and looked at Wang Bing. Their highness spent the whole journey in that carriage, and now that person was being threatened, forcing 1000 people to retreat for no reason.

Who is Wang Bing?Surnamed Wang...Liu Bai also mentioned Wang Fu...

A thousand Zhao soldiers retreated a hundred steps, out of the range of the bow and arrow, and could not hurt the Chu army.Cen Li didn't, he needed to keep an eye on this person who could crush Wang Bing to death anytime.

The iron chain pulled the wound on Wang Bing's wrist, and the intense pain stimulated him to open his eyes, and his chest felt uncomfortable like suffocation. He was shivering from the cold and curled up instinctively when he was suffering from fever.The deteriorating condition, sore limbs, and numb left hand, the chaotic brain has not had time to respond to the external environment, the first reaction of the body is an uncontrollable cough, a fishy sweetness gushes from the throat, suddenly , the indescribable pain came from that left hand again, and he slowly half-opened his eyes, coughing still did not stop.

Cen Li's breathing was short and chaotic, and no one knew what kind of torment he was enduring.The people he loves and protects in the palm of his hand are being ruthlessly and cruelly destroyed under the claws of others.

Will he die?

"Let him go!" Cen Li's voice was hoarse, and his voice already revealed his panic.

Wang Bing's eyelids were half down, his vision was blurry, and he could only see a lot of people standing in the dark opposite. He didn't know who those people were, but he knew that the voice belonged to Liu Huaxin.

Liu Bai turned over and sat on the horse, just to hang Wang Bing up with his whole hand. He pinched Wang Bing's face, turned him over, and made him face Cen Li, and said: "Your Highness, the crown prince, you are still alive!" In my hands, you have no right to order me. Retreat! Get out of Luoyang."

Wang Bing only reacted after hearing Liu Bai's words. It turned out that he was taken as a hostage, and Liu Bai was threatening Liu Huaxin with him.

It hurt him again.

Wang Bing lowered his head and coughed, with a little blood foam on his chest, he raised his head, so weak that he could only make a sound that only he could hear.

"Hua... Hua Xin, don't... retreat..."

"What a touching reunion hahahahahaha." Liu Bai smiled smugly. He wanted to save the face of losing the battle, and he wanted to force Liu Huaxin to retreat, but he didn't seem to have any plans to retreat, so he needed to give him something. Stimulate.Liu Bai leaned over and whispered something to the soldier, and soon, the soldier ran to the back.

"Come on, put on an interesting show for our audience, His Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Baidao: "Loosen his shackles and handcuff him around his neck."

Cen Li kept staring at Wang Bing, lifted Wang Bing's face with his dirty hands, and put a cold iron ring around his neck, like a dog tied up.

Wang Bing didn't have any strength to resist. Liu Baisong lifted the iron chain on his left hand, but it was useless. The other end of the iron chain was still holding the iron ring with four iron chains in Liu Bai's hand.He fell heavily on the ground, feeling uncomfortable as if he was falling apart, but he just couldn't bear to cry out.

Liu Bai yanked the iron chain around Wang Bing's neck severely with one hand, and threw the ring.This time Wang Bing finally couldn't bear it anymore, the throat is the most vulnerable place in the human body, not to mention that place was pinched by Liu Huiye, after this pulling, Wang Bing coughed heart-piercingly again.

"Let him go!! I'll retreat!! I'll retreat!!" Cen Li said to Zhong Yi in a begging tone rather than an order: "Take them out of Luoyang, quickly! Get out of here!"

He had had enough, had had enough.No matter how torn or tortured, he will come to Liu Huaxin, all the sins will be borne by him alone, he does not want that person to accept the punishment in his place, the sinful self... Finally God gave him a king's disease in mercy, Save his filthy soul, but why does God pretending to be blind torture him again and again...Saving him and then destroying him, is this salvation?

Zhong Yi looked at Cen Li as if he didn't know him, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.What does retreat mean?Even the lowliest soldiers know that this retreat means defeat.

Abandoning the victory at his fingertips, abandoning tens of thousands of people who had placed high hopes on him, just for one... a Liangren of unknown origin.

"Let's go!" Cen Li roared, his eyes were bloodshot.

Zhong Yi has only seen such a prince once - on the tower, King Kang threatened the prince with that Liang man.For Zhong Yi, the man who led them to resist and regain freedom is strong and confident. He comforts the wounded soldiers, listens carefully to the soldiers' complaints, and never flinches because of difficulties encountered in the battle. The man lost his mind.

Zhong Yi was tossing back and forth between absolute obedience and retreat and defeat, as if he was waiting for Cen Li to say something else. In fact, it was Cen Li's eyes that were more convincing than words, and Zhong Yi was under this speechless gaze. A smile came out, but the smile hadn't subsided yet, and Cen Li suddenly raised his head.

Arrows were flying all over the sky like rain, coming towards the two of them on horseback.

Wang Bing issued a dying call: "No!"

The arrow in Cen Li's pupils continued to dilate, and suddenly, his body was knocked down by something, and he fell off the horse in embarrassment.Several arrows were stuck next to his face and scratched a finger-long wound, blood oozing out.

Under the rain of arrows, only this injury.
