Chapter 11 Strong Support
"Damn, if you want to fight for military power, you can't hurry up at this juncture!"
"The imperial court is going to fall into the hands of the enemy in Shu!"
"[-] against [-], we must win! This is to send us to death!"
"..."
Under the sudden and cruel blow, the angry generals rushed out of the command tent, blatantly criticizing the unfair facts, and the atmosphere of pessimism and despair quickly spread in the already tired and sad camp.
Lin Shengyu looked at Chen Jingyuan who was standing alone in the tent, frowning, letting the generals leave the noise without moving, and cautiously called out,
"General, you can't break the morale of the army now, do you first..." The conversation stopped when Chen Jingyuan suddenly turned his gaze, Lin Shengyu couldn't tell whether Chen Jingyuan's eyes were angry, anxious or worried, and the two looked at each other for about ten seconds Finally, Chen Jingyuan turned his head and pondered for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he said suddenly,
"Since He Zhiyi came, it is impossible to have reinforcements. There are only [-] soldiers left, and there is no chance of winning if you fight to the death. I will never abandon the soldiers and live as a leader. I can't personally protect you and send someone to send you away. , Try to fight for a way out."
"Send me away? Why? Where are you going?" Lin Shengyu was completely stunned. If Chen Jingyuan said he wanted to escape, it would be understandable, but what he meant was that he wanted to stay and do his best, but he wanted to send him a lowly soldier to escape?
"If you die, I will be entrusted by others. After you leave, quietly go back to Beijing to find the prince." After Chen Jingyuan finished speaking, he hurried to make arrangements outside the account.
"Prince..." Unprepared to hear these two words, Cao Xian was either arrogant or gentle when he was young. Not long ago, his anxious and determined face rushed into Lin Chengyu's mind together with various speculations, and he was confused for a while.But now is not the time for this,
"Wait a minute, general—" Lin Shengyu hastily stopped Chen Jingyuan, who was about to step out of the tent, "I can't leave, not even by myself! If someone leaves, people's hearts will be scattered, this battle will be lost, and there is no way to recover."
"Oh, then you think we can still win? Do you have a way?"
"It depends on man's will. It is still unknown to fight to the death." In fact, Lin Shengyu didn't think of a good idea to defeat the enemy all at once. The situation was really difficult, but if he was to escape quietly by himself in such a situation, he would be distracted and leave behind Chen Jingyuan, who was undoubtedly dead. That is absolutely unwilling.
"General Chen, Cheng Yu doesn't know who you have any support with. You are a slave, but right now you are also a member of the army. You only want to live or die with everyone, and you will never live alone."
"Forget it, I will keep my promise to protect you until death, everything depends on God's will." Chen Jingyuan finally changed his mind under Lin Shengyu's firm gaze.Lin Shengyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, originally he was really worried that Chen Jingyuan would send him away regardless.He hurriedly began to analyze the situation with Chen Jingyuan and racked his brains to think of countermeasures.
After half a stick of incense, Chen Jingyuan stood upright on the temporary high stone platform, and in front of him were [-] soldiers lined up in black, no matter whether they were missing arms or had a broken head, as long as they could stand or lean, As long as you are willing to stand tall, you will gather here.Lin Shengyu was also standing on the far side, feeling the oppressive atmosphere of desperation and sadness that seemed to oppress people's hearts.
"The imperial court dismissed General Yu, and the new General He cut off our support." Chen Jingyuan said calmly.
"Right now, there are only two ways for everyone to go: one, escape back to the rear camp to survive, and wait for the military law to sanction. Abandon the defense line, let the enemy drive straight in, and destroy our people's homes; two, fight to the death and never retreat, kill the enemy as much as you want, even if you die, you will be honored .If God's will helps, do your best to wipe out the enemy bravely and gain a chance of survival."
"If you choose one, I will bring my vanguard battalion to cut off the rear for you, and I will stop the enemy for a day, so that you can escape. If you choose two, you will stay together."
"Tell me, do you choose one or two?" Chen Jingyuan roared, his eyes were red with excitement.
"I choose two!"
"How else do you choose? Two!"
"Damn it, it must be two! Have you forgotten the spirit of the Western Shu Army? Fight to the death and never retreat!"
"Who will be the coward? Choose the second!"
"Choose two..."
For a while, there were passionate shouts and pairs of eyes that were irritated to be red. The atmosphere of sadness and despair dissipated under the agitation of tragic emotions, and the people and horses moved quickly.
The wounded soldiers who lost their combat power were first sent back to the camp by a small group of miscellaneous soldiers, and then the camp was pulled out. The whole army quickly retreated for [-] miles. In the wilderness, only Chen Jingyuan led [-] cavalrymen, running slowly or hurriedly on the road, using the narrow road surface, nearby steep slopes, short high cliffs and other possible terrains, or digging ditches, or pushing Drop boulders, or set up roadblocks such as rolling logs.Lin Shengyu followed closely beside Chen Jingyuan, searching for available terrain as much as possible to dispatch scattered teams of more suitable combat forces, or to set up the most labor-saving and effective roadblocks.The disparity in military strength is too great, head-to-head confrontation is inevitable, and there is no danger to defend.Lin Shengyu could only break up the team into pieces, use artificial roadblocks to hinder the enemy's marching plan, and create a small advantage of small-scale sneak attacks and frequent harassment.
From the time when the camp broke out at midnight to when the sun just rose, Chen Jingyuan and his team, who were already at the forefront, looked back and saw the thick smoke rising far away.Not long after breaking out of the camp, the enemy troops who must have noticed soon will pursue them. This is the first wave of teams scattered into the dense forest on the roadside to use roadblocks to stop the enemy and launch an attack. They will definitely follow Lin Shengyu's instructions and retreat as soon as they are touched. The enemy can only defend while clearing roadblocks or send teams into the forest to chase and suppress.If you defend, you will frequently harass; if you send a small team, you will encircle and kill them.In the end, the enemy army was overwhelmed and could only set fire to the forest, and the role of the first wave of squads basically ended. They had to retreat into the depths of the forest and try not to die in the sea of fire.
Not long after, new thick smoke rose in the distance. By noon, there were already dozens of places. The distance gradually narrowed and the speed became faster and faster. The black smoke covered the distant Pieces of sky.This road can hide people and horses, and there are mostly small forests. After many similar raids, the enemy has learned experience. It is very likely that they will burn the forest first when encountering roadblocks and forests. Therefore, after the first five or six waves, the middle is very long. There is no ambush in the woods for a certain distance, so there is no risk of being trapped in the sea of fire for nothing. Just out of the woods, there are only some slopes, mounds, grasses, etc., which are not very safe ambush places. A little accident may be discovered in advance , so that a small number of people are facing the big army, the ending can be imagined, and the speed of the enemy's march is getting faster, which also confirms this point.When it was about to get dark, the sound of fighting could be faintly heard, and the enemy's distance was less than ten miles away.Fortunately, the movement gradually subsided, and the enemy stopped camping.
"It is most convenient to use darkness to harass. It is easy to take precautions during the day, but it is difficult at night. The enemy can only choose to stay and set up camp, and arrange enough officers and soldiers to take strict precautions." Lin Shengyu said the current situation earlier, relying on frequent harassment With the effect of the strategy and the protection of the night, Chen Jingyuan's 5000 troops can finally breathe a sigh of relief. They can smear and rest less than ten miles away from the enemy. It is almost a day and a night of traveling, plus dozens of roadblocks built desperately. They were all physically and mentally exhausted. After being fed hastily, they fell asleep casually. Many people even gnawed on dry food and fell asleep with their heads tilted to death. No one would think about tomorrow. When the sun rises and illuminates the road, it will be a dead end that no one dares to think about, it will be death!
Lin Shengyu and Chen Jingyuan haven't slept yet.The two of them nestled in a dirt nest, and with a small oil lamp lit, Lin Shengyu was drawing with the dim light. What he described was a small rocky slope where they were currently, but it was actually a hill formed by a huge rock, with three sides on both sides. The ten-meter-high cliff is considered a small natural danger. It is difficult for the enemy to break through from the front, but if it is a little troublesome, you can hang the ladder downhill and surround them from behind, or just abandon them.But there is almost no possibility of abandoning them. Although they have occupied a small natural danger, they are short of resources, and their knives, arrows and rolling stones are very limited.The enemy army must be aware of this and wipe out to the end.If they were left behind, they would be able to chase after them, which would only increase the risk.Lin Shengyu drew a roadblock along the way he came, crossed away all the already leveled ones, and there were only three nearby roads left. After dawn, the enemy army pulled out the camp and cleared the obstacles to the front, even if the last three waves of harassment played enough effects, It is best to hold back until noon, when the enemy will arrive.It's not wise to retreat, the enemy will be able to catch up in no time, and defending is the only and last choice. Without reinforcements, defending is to defend until death.Lin Shengyu is now doing his best to calculate the range that can hinder the hanging ladder, the manpower needed, the amount of stone that can be excavated, the defensive forces that need to be dispatched in place, and the attack bases that can be used...just to prolong the time of defending as much as possible , can make everyone die later.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but when Lin Shengyu woke up with a bang, she found herself lying in the earthen nest that she nested in last night, with a piece of felt cloth that Chen Jingyuan helped to lay under her.It was already dawn, and there were people busy moving stones and tree sections around him, setting up a stronghold according to the location he arranged last night.But at this time, most of the people paused, looking up at a cloud of dust rising not far away.Lin Shengyu suddenly understood that the rumbling sound just heard came from here, and it was the location of the last roadblock. A slightly loose boulder happened to be found on the gentle slope above. Prying it down at the right time can at least injure the enemy to death, and if you are lucky, it may block the road for a while.It seems that it has played a role, but the last roadblock is only two miles away, and the enemy is close at hand!
Lin Shengyu caught sight of Chen Jingyuan who was assigning people to the blueprints he drew last night, and hurried over to help. The matter has come to this point, it is useless to worry too much, what can be done, and how much can be done.
After noon, the enemy attacked.As soon as the Vietnamese army appeared, their eyes were bloodshot and their descriptions were a bit embarrassing, and there were many wounded soldiers. The road was frequently consumed by small groups, and the loss was not small. People are timid.
A round of arrow rain and thousands of rolling stones fell down, and the fallen flesh and blood quickly filled the bottom of the rocky slope.Splattered blood mixed with broken limbs covered the road.Thousands of archers and slingers arranged behind the simple fortifications temporarily withstood round after round of enemy charges.Sure enough, a series of hanging ladders hung to both sides of the road, and the enemy planned to take a detour and copy it.With an order, Chen Jingyuan led the troops on the right, and Xiao Yongli led the troops on the left. The two teams of hundreds of men each rushed down at the same time.After going back and forth like this several times, thousands of Vietnamese troops finally went down a long way and besieged them from behind. At this point, they were surrounded on both sides and had to divide their troops to resist.
It was getting dark, and it was night again. The soldiers who had fought hard for four or five hours were still roaring with hoarse killing sounds, desperately defending the more and more dilapidated fortifications, but more and more people fell. There are no rolling stones to trust in your hands, and no arrows to shoot from the bowstring.The enemy's footsteps finally stepped over the fortification line. Everyone swung steel knives and hammers. For a while, there were figures fighting each other everywhere, and blood was splashing everywhere.Lin Shengyu held a small dagger tightly and hid in the corner as much as possible. If he encountered an enemy, he could be sent back to the west with just one knife, which was very convenient.The dark night temporarily provides some space to escape, but life and death are also at a moment's notice.Lin Shengyu noticed that there were flames and faint shouts of killing coming from the rear of the enemy army two miles away. It should be that the surviving harassment unit gathered to the rear to fight back. Everyone was fighting, fighting desperately.
Lin Chengyu suddenly saw a sharp steel knife coming towards him, and there was no way to avoid it, so he thought, ah, I'm going to die.However, with a bang, the steel knife flew out, and a stick was picked up in front of him, smashing a face in front of him with a bang.Chen Jingyuan reined in his horse to a stop, lifted him onto the horse in front of him, and continued to charge towards the fighting crowd.More Vietnamese troops rushed up the stone slope, and someone lit a torch to illuminate the battlefield.Lin Shengyu immediately looked around, and in the small encirclement of the enemy, there were tragic figures fighting for their lives. It was really about to end, Lin Chengyu closed his eyes, not daring to look any further.All I could hear was the orderly and loud shouts of killing approaching from the back slope, and another group of enemies came around.
"Reinforcement?"
"It's reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements are coming—kill!"
Lin Shengyu hurriedly opened his eyes and saw a group of light cavalry with a bright armor, leaping high over the dilapidated fortifications and fiercely charging towards the Vietnamese army.More and more fresh troops poured in, and the battle situation on the stone slope was reversed in an instant. In a blink of an eye, they had turned back from the front slope and rushed into the enemy's formation, forming an encirclement with the surviving troops gathered behind the enemy.
Chen Jingyuan reined in his horse and stood on the top of the slope until someone from the reinforcements came along with him, and he stretched out his hand to pull Lin Shengyu over and put him in front of him. "His Royal Highness." Chen Jingyuan saluted on the horse before riding downhill alone, "Follow me to kill the enemy—" "Kill the enemy!" "We are going to win—kill"
Lin Chengyu turned his head, widened his eyes, and after looking for a while, he was sure that there was indeed a familiar face in front of him.
"Cao Xian..."
☆, no guess
The [-] reinforcements that Cao Xianru came from were like a strong booster. Less than [-] remnants were struggling in the siege of the powerful enemy on Poshang. With the reinforcements on the attack, they went straight into the enemy's main line, and killed them regardless.And the four words "reinforcement is coming" shouted by thousands of people were also sent to the ears of the stragglers of the raiding unit who would rather fight to the death than retreat behind the enemy lines. night sky.Suddenly, in the middle of the enemy army, another group of troops rushed in on the slope, setting off another noisy exclamation and screams. This is a group of people pushing boulders to block the road ahead, and they are probably waiting for an opportunity to flee to a high place. , and now is a good time to wait, almost cutting the enemy army in half in one fell swoop.
Sitting on the horse, Lin Shengyu was already filled with joy in the battle situation illuminated by torches near and far.The 1 Vietnamese army won the attack and defense in Katsuragi, but lost more than 5000. The first pursuit lost nearly [-] on the slope. This way, nearly [-] scattered small groups of small groups frequently attacked and consumed more than [-]. There were also [-] troops, and when they arrived at the foot of the stone slope, they were exhausted and injured, and there were only more than [-] troops. A mere [-] troops was difficult to deal with. Butter easily disintegrated the enemy's strength and morale.Really want to win!For two days and two nights, [-] remnant soldiers who had nowhere to go but were fearless to die, did not expect that they would really fight for this chance of survival.Lin Chengyu's eyes filled with tears and his body trembled slightly due to the excitement of the rest of his life.Cao Xian lightly hugged the man in his arms with the hand of controlling the horse, shook the reins, and swung the long halberd to rush down the slope, surrounded by twenty fine armored guards holding torches, each guarding their positions, followed closely, and killed together. Into the enemy group.
When the battle lasted until midnight, the Vietnamese army was unable to continue, and the rear team barely broke through. The rear was also weak and unsustainable.The front team had no choice but to fight to the death under the siege on both sides, and was wiped out before dawn.Chen Jingyuan counted the surviving troops after World War I. There were less than [-] people, and everyone was physically and mentally exhausted. They were in a trance in the extreme joy and the same sadness, so they camped and rested on the spot.Cao Xian couldn't stop after reorganizing the army for a while, and led a group of reinforcements to chase after the enemy.Lin Shengyu handed it back to Chen Jingyuan again, and took it to rest.
Three days later, Chen Jingyuan slowly returned to Gecheng with Lin Shengyu and the repaired troops, only to see his own army flag flying on the city wall, and the city gate was wide open to welcome everyone into the city.One day ago, from the reports of the scouts, everyone knew that Cao Xian's vanguard had caught up with the remaining ten thousand Vietnamese troops in front of Gecheng five miles away, and then killed them all the way. The two soldiers mixed and rushed straight into Gecheng , and the main force of the Vietnamese army was exhausted, and there were only a few hundred miscellaneous soldiers left in Gecheng. Completely expelled Katsuragi, expelled from the border between the two countries, and went straight into the Yue Kingdom for ten miles before giving up.
After Lin Shengyu followed Chen Jingyuan to settle his subordinates and troops in the Gecheng barracks, he and a group of generals walked towards the small barracks set up for generals.At one point, Chen Jingyuan stopped Lin Shengyu's footsteps, and pointed to the open door in front of him.
"Please come in, Prince Lin, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time."
"General Chen, this..., I..." Under the eyes of everyone, Lin Shengyu scratched his head in embarrassment, and looked at the two rows of finely armored guards at the door. Who would know that this was the prince's barracks?During the conditioned reflex, Lin Chengyu almost said that I was still your first-class slave, and narrowly stopped talking, otherwise wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?What's more, although he was a little flustered, the desire to see Cao Xian in his heart was still stronger.
"Haha, I've heard that Lin Shizi and His Highness have been together since they were young when they were hostages, and they are very friendly." Xiao Yongli smiled heartily, motivating all the generals around him to smile kindly and urge Lin Chengyu to go in quickly. Bar.What Lin Shengyu did by Chen Jingyuan's side all the way, everyone saw it, not to mention the soldiers of the First Pioneer Battalion who followed Bingshu before, but for the battle of Gecheng, if there was no sudden reinforcements from Cao Xian Dead end, but without Lin Shengyu's various ingenious arrangements, there might not be a chance to survive until the moment of rescue.The heroic nature of the Xishu sergeant would not care about low status. After escaping from the dead, everyone remembered His Highness the Crown Prince and at the same time respected Lin Shengyu as a military adviser. Now talking about the relationship between the two is also full of joy.
"Well, we grew up together, the friendship between childhood sweethearts, until the crown prince was recalled to Beijing three years ago..." When Lin Shengyu was standing at the door hesitating, he heard Chen Jingyuan affirming his relationship with the crown prince while walking. course.
"Cheng Yu——" Cao Xian was waiting for him in the room, seeing that he was still outside the door, so he walked to the door by himself.They were all called, and Lin Shengyu didn't care about his flustered state of mind. He hurriedly passed through the guard queue and came to the door. Cao Xian grabbed his left hand and led him into the door. He walked all the way to the inside before letting go.The two stood still, not knowing how to speak for a moment.Lin Chengyu lowered his head, still reminiscing about the hand that held him just now, with the familiar strength and temperature, and the thin callus from the halberd in his palm is still there.It is this hand, from the soft and fat one when he was a child, to the young man who was strong and slender when he left one to three years ago. , to countless people: the naughty boy who bullied him, made things difficult for his wife, molested his mother, and the uncle who forced him to condescend to flatter his boss...He declared over and over again: This is my man, who of you dare to mess with him?Lin Shengyu protested many times when he got older, I'm not a girl, don't pull me like this.Cao Xian always agrees, okay, okay, then I won't pull you.It's just that when he turned around, he forgot about something, copied it with his hand, pulled it up and ran away. Lin Shengyu woke up and couldn't break free even if he wanted to, so he had to let it go.On the day of separation three years ago, before getting on the horse, Cao Xian held Lin Shengyu's hand tightly and said, "I will pick you up to the capital soon. Shengyu, I will always protect you!" Not long after that year, Lin Shengyu did go to the capital, but what he took was not a carriage but a prison cart...
"I... I didn't have any better way to protect you at that time. The situation in Beijing is difficult, so I can only make you suffer..."
Lin Shengyu raised his head in astonishment, saw Cao Xian's sad and painful eyes, and suddenly realized that when he was having trouble getting along because of being a prisoner of treason, Cao Xian was more disturbed than him. He was blaming himself for not protecting himself well. He blamed himself for being helpless, he always remembered his promise to Lin Shengyu, even though Lin Shengyu's identity was already a traitor and a prisoner.wrong!It turned out that he was wrong, Cao Xian was still Cao Xian, and Cao Xian was still protecting Lin Shengyu wholeheartedly, nothing had changed.He should have understood it a long time ago, no, he actually understood it, when Chen Jingyuan said that he would complete the entrustment with death, or earlier, he just didn't dare to believe such a beauty easily.
Lin Shengyu hugged Cao Xian tightly from the front, buried his face deeply in the warm shoulder socket, feeling the rapid and powerful heartbeat underneath.After a while, Cao Xian put his arms lightly on his back and tightened them tightly, hugging Lin Chengyu tightly into his arms. It was something he didn't dare to do when they were on the same horse in the dark night three days ago, but now Finally did it.
"At that time, it hurt, right?"
Lin Shengyu smiled softly, thinking of Cao Xian who pretended to be indifferent and left in a hurry that day, he couldn't bear to watch it.That meal was really painful, but luckily it's over.
"It's okay. Later, General Chen protected me all the way. I was chased and killed, and it was resolved."
"Well, I know. I have dealt with the person who chased and killed you, and I know the mastermind. One day, I will find him to take revenge."
"But why do you want to hunt me down?" It's unbelievable to chase down a death row prisoner without any effort.
"Maybe I sent Chen Jingyuan to attract their attention. It's not a secret that Chen Jingyuan is my number one assistant."
Lin Shengyu thinks about it, it is indeed very possible, the crime of treason, there are always some people who can't bear it.And now that he personally led the troops here, wouldn't Cao Xian be suspected of covering up?
"It doesn't matter, it's nothing more than a tear between the two sides." Cao Xian didn't care about it.
"He Zhiyi is a narrow-minded person. He and Chen Jingyuan had many conflicts before. Now that he is overpowering Chen Jingyuan, he will definitely take the opportunity to kill him. How can I just sit idly by?"
"Bingshu is just a test of a small group of troops. Gecheng's victory is already decided. Liu Ao and Xigou, He Zhiyi brought most of the main force. Our troops have obvious advantages, and it is difficult to lose. With you like this Wan Yuanjun, the danger of Western Shu no longer exists. It’s just that General Yu is afraid of being framed when he returns to Beijing this time, so is there any help in Beijing?”
Cao Xian frowned, "Fang Gelou will speak frankly, but General Yu has a strong temper, and he may be accused of unreasonable crimes by the officials. We will break out of the camp tomorrow and take me back to take care of this villain He Zhiyi. Return to the capital."
Lin Shengyu and the others marched back to Gecheng in the afternoon, and it was almost evening when they met Cao Xian after they settled down. The two chatted for several hours, and the guards brought them a hastily eaten dinner, and continued to chat until midnight.Most of what he said was Cao Xian's situation in the past three years. Although Lin Shengyu's accident was very dangerous, the days before the accident were peaceful, and the process of the feudal prince's rebellion had nothing to do with him, but he was implicated innocently after the incident That's all.On the contrary, on Cao Xian's side, the situation is complicated and people are unpredictable.Although Cao Xian has no competitors for the position of crown prince, the king of Dazhao has few heirs, and now he is in his forties, and there is only one son, Cao Xian.But the internal party struggle is fierce. Since Cao Xian returned to Beijing, he has gone from having nothing and being alone, to gradually having a guard, with confidantes, who can take over some soldiers and horses.After Lin Shengyu heard about it, he had a vague feeling that Cao Xian was hiding something, but after thinking about it, there was no trace. Later, the two fell asleep together, separated for three years, and the hesitation of fate, the strangeness brought about has gradually disappeared.
☆、Kill the general and send him away (fill in the leak)
The next morning, when Lin Shengyu woke up, Cao Xian had already gone out.Lin Shengyu was lethargic, and he always needed to sleep more than the average person. He was always late for morning classes since elementary school, and was often punished by his master for this.In the past few days, even if I was wandering, if I was not awakened by someone waking up for food, I would always be the last one to get up.Cao Xian is naturally aware of his habits, now that the enemy has retreated, he will not wake him up early, and go out early to arrange for the camp.Lin Shengyu got up, washed up, ate the breakfast that Cao Xian specially left for him, and went out to look at the sky. It was already mid-morning, and all the people in front of him were soldiers who were rushing to clean up the camp and deploy for defense.Turning around suddenly, he saw the inquiring and disdainful eyes of the two guards guarding at the door, one of them didn't even want to hide it.This sleep was too presumptuous, misunderstanding is inevitable, Lin Chengyu smiled wryly in his heart.
Cao Xian and Chen Jingyuan were probably busy, Lin Shengyu chose a random direction and walked, thinking that whoever he met, he could help with something.It's just that Lin Chengyu couldn't walk any further than a hundred meters away. The gazes cast from around him were too intense. No matter how open-minded he was, he still couldn't bear it. What's more, he was also guilty of treason in his heart. Cao Xian's identity made it difficult for him.And here, Lin Shengyu couldn't get rid of his special identity as a first-class military slave. He was followed by Chen Jingyuan, and he arrived at Cao Xian's barracks last night. Generals like Xiao Yongli knew the details of yesterday's process. Those who have a special relationship with them don’t think too much about it, and they are grateful for the life-saving grace. If they have thoughts, they are based on good intentions, but what ordinary soldiers saw was only the first-class slaves entering Cao Xian’s room, and only came out so late after one night. , the idea is much simpler and more straightforward. The talk of Meinu’s being in power is really suitable for fermenting in a relaxed atmosphere. After Lin Shengyu insisted on walking a few more steps, the surrounding pointing and words of Mai Tai people had spread presumptuously. ears.In desperation, Lin Chengyu could only turn his head back and forth, silently facing the cold gaze of the guard at the door, went into the room and sat down, touched a book to read.
At noon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then I heard Xiao Yongli yelling loudly: "Hey, what are these bastards talking about? None of them know who saved their lives! "It's mainly the gang I brought, who are chewing their tongues without knowing the situation, let's see how I deal with them!" Cao Xian added bitterly, and when Lin Chengyu heard the familiar tune, he felt that he had to follow behind. He said "I don't even look at this person!", but he still held back his words.He stood up and went to the door to see that it was Chen Jingyuan and a group of generals who had come to Cao Xian's side together, carrying some food in their hands. It was obvious that they had come to meet for lunch.Lin Chengyu knew that Cao Xian had a rough temperament, so it was not surprising that he became one with the rough guys in Xishu so quickly.Lin Shengyu greeted each other and helped Zhang Luo's tables and chairs to arrange the dishes. These people all laughed and told the truth.
"Shizi Lin, you must have heard what those bastards said, right?"
"Ah, I heard. You can only hide in the house, and you will be scolded when you go out."
"You son of a bitch! They are all ungrateful! Don't take it to heart."
"We will vent your anger on you and cut them to death! Don't worry about it, the old buddies know how good you are, and you are not that kind of person at all."
"His Royal Highness has an idea, and will issue a commendation order after dinner, and you will be our clerk from now on."
"Although your crime is a bit big, if you really defend your family and country, you will be rewarded." Cao Xian patted the table to drink with people. Today is the day to celebrate the lifting of the amnesty ban.
"That's right, we, everyone will keep you! The clerk is not enough, and the big guys point to you as a military adviser." Everyone echoed in unison, while toasting him.
Facing the group of people in front of him, Lin Shengyu felt at ease.It's really comforting to be so straight-hearted and like to recognize him. Cao Xian, who is so unscrupulous and not at all reserved as a prince, is so familiar. The new identity they arranged is also the most suitable.After a meal, Lin Chengyu drank until he was slightly tipsy.This is also a rare thing in his cautious and restrained past.
In the afternoon, the team assembled and prepared to break out of camp.Although Katsuragi's battle was fierce, he won in the end, and the glory of returning triumphantly is exciting.Throughout Cao Xian's battle, he did not shy away from the crisis caused by the court's temporary change of generals, and the danger caused by He Zhiyi's failure to reinforce, nor did he ignore the passiveness caused by the failure to send troops in time at the beginning, and fought to the death for the disadvantaged The Wei of the Western Shu Army greatly appreciated it, rewarded and promoted low-level non-commissioned officers including Lin Shengyu on the spot, and listed their achievements in this battle in detail. Among them, Lin Shengyu's content was particularly brilliant and convincing.Finally, the merits of other senior generals are also explained one by one. They will be reported to the imperial court and rewarded by edict. To wash away the general's grievances.Immediately, the voices of "His Royal Highness is wise" and "His Royal Highness decides for us" spread everywhere, and countless people burst into tears.
Taking advantage of dawn, 2 horses left the city one after another and returned to camp quickly as planned.The original Xishu troops were in front, and Cao Xian led the troops and horses to retreat.Lin Shengyu declined Cao Xian's invitation to go with him, and happily chatted and laughed with other clerks, and walked at the front of the team. After having a formal military position, he felt very comfortable.But after a while, a small team of Da Da came from behind, and Cao Xian stood side by side on Lin Chengyu's right hand side. Naturally, his twenty guards followed closely around and surrounded Lin Chengyu alone. In the circle, the other clerks were immediately separated by three or four horses.Lin Shengyu had no choice but to accuse Cao Xian with his eyes. When Cao Xian saw Lin Shengyu's wide-eyed eyes, he felt itchy and wanted to hold him in his arms like that night, but he didn't want to let others suffer after he left. Criticism, had to endure.
"I haven't seen you for more than three years, and I will leave again in a few days, so hurry up and say a few more words, can't you?" Cao Xian complained with his head down.Hear this grievance?Lin Shengyu had no choice but to retreat.
"Son of rebellion, you are also a friend. You are not afraid of people talking about the court?" Lin Shengyu said this with a solemn tone. Although he was delighted by Cao Xian's unswerving love for him, he was really worried about him. overly affected by it.
"It's not as serious as you think. I have already reported to the emperor, and as a proton, it is unfair for you to be implicated in this." When Cao Xian said to the end, his tone became stiffer. It can be imagined that Cao Xian had fought based on this, and he must is to attract opposition or indifference.Who cares if a proton is innocent?It is the safest and most convenient way to cut the weeds and roots, so it is no wonder that some people want to hunt him down.And Cao Xian tried his best to protect him so recklessly, he would eventually be caught.It still held him back, Lin Chengyu sighed helplessly in his heart.
It was nightfall again, and Lin Shengyu entered the prince's tent again.One is that Cao Xian's ability to grab hold and run has not deteriorated even after three years, and Lin Shengyu is still unable to react in time; moreover, getting together for a few days will be a long-term or even permanent parting, and Lin Shengyu is always reluctant to get along with each other all the time.Go out for dinner and have a big pot meal with the soldiers. Cao Xian, who is so unrefined, is the most suitable for getting along with a bunch of reckless men in the Western Shu Army. He dragged Sheng Yu to a stove and sat down, and the crowd was lively After eating, the topic turned to their plight as hostage teenagers, and Cao Xian began to brag about how he led Lin Shengyu in those years, how majestic and invincible he was, with his literary and martial arts strategies, coquettishness, It is very appropriate for such a delicate person like Lin Shengyu.Lin Chengyu put up with it again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up to retort that the brother-in-law who tried to provoke the city lord was secretly imprisoned. If he hadn't pretended to be the prince and broke into the city lord's mansion, he would probably not be able to get out. , How many times have you written a bad article and been scolded by your husband so why don't you say it!Cao Xian complained to Sheng Yu that you're a very incompetent person, so don't expose me in front of a large group of brothers.There were already more than a circle of people around to join in the fun, and they all laughed at Cao Xian's bragging, and even Chen Jingyuan came out to make up for it, saying that last year he dared to think that the congratulatory message written by the Tai Tuo for the emperor's birthday was too empty, so he had to write it himself , As a result, he rubbed the paper all over the floor, and said countless times that Lin Shizi was here.
On the way back with them after dinner, Cao Xian still said that in the past three years, he really wanted to take Lin Shengyu by his side from time to time, but the situation in the capital was too dangerous for Lin Shengyu.Lin Shengyu didn't understand why he was in danger when he went to the capital earlier, but he just thought
"The imperial court is going to fall into the hands of the enemy in Shu!"
"[-] against [-], we must win! This is to send us to death!"
"..."
Under the sudden and cruel blow, the angry generals rushed out of the command tent, blatantly criticizing the unfair facts, and the atmosphere of pessimism and despair quickly spread in the already tired and sad camp.
Lin Shengyu looked at Chen Jingyuan who was standing alone in the tent, frowning, letting the generals leave the noise without moving, and cautiously called out,
"General, you can't break the morale of the army now, do you first..." The conversation stopped when Chen Jingyuan suddenly turned his gaze, Lin Shengyu couldn't tell whether Chen Jingyuan's eyes were angry, anxious or worried, and the two looked at each other for about ten seconds Finally, Chen Jingyuan turned his head and pondered for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he said suddenly,
"Since He Zhiyi came, it is impossible to have reinforcements. There are only [-] soldiers left, and there is no chance of winning if you fight to the death. I will never abandon the soldiers and live as a leader. I can't personally protect you and send someone to send you away. , Try to fight for a way out."
"Send me away? Why? Where are you going?" Lin Shengyu was completely stunned. If Chen Jingyuan said he wanted to escape, it would be understandable, but what he meant was that he wanted to stay and do his best, but he wanted to send him a lowly soldier to escape?
"If you die, I will be entrusted by others. After you leave, quietly go back to Beijing to find the prince." After Chen Jingyuan finished speaking, he hurried to make arrangements outside the account.
"Prince..." Unprepared to hear these two words, Cao Xian was either arrogant or gentle when he was young. Not long ago, his anxious and determined face rushed into Lin Chengyu's mind together with various speculations, and he was confused for a while.But now is not the time for this,
"Wait a minute, general—" Lin Shengyu hastily stopped Chen Jingyuan, who was about to step out of the tent, "I can't leave, not even by myself! If someone leaves, people's hearts will be scattered, this battle will be lost, and there is no way to recover."
"Oh, then you think we can still win? Do you have a way?"
"It depends on man's will. It is still unknown to fight to the death." In fact, Lin Shengyu didn't think of a good idea to defeat the enemy all at once. The situation was really difficult, but if he was to escape quietly by himself in such a situation, he would be distracted and leave behind Chen Jingyuan, who was undoubtedly dead. That is absolutely unwilling.
"General Chen, Cheng Yu doesn't know who you have any support with. You are a slave, but right now you are also a member of the army. You only want to live or die with everyone, and you will never live alone."
"Forget it, I will keep my promise to protect you until death, everything depends on God's will." Chen Jingyuan finally changed his mind under Lin Shengyu's firm gaze.Lin Shengyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, originally he was really worried that Chen Jingyuan would send him away regardless.He hurriedly began to analyze the situation with Chen Jingyuan and racked his brains to think of countermeasures.
After half a stick of incense, Chen Jingyuan stood upright on the temporary high stone platform, and in front of him were [-] soldiers lined up in black, no matter whether they were missing arms or had a broken head, as long as they could stand or lean, As long as you are willing to stand tall, you will gather here.Lin Shengyu was also standing on the far side, feeling the oppressive atmosphere of desperation and sadness that seemed to oppress people's hearts.
"The imperial court dismissed General Yu, and the new General He cut off our support." Chen Jingyuan said calmly.
"Right now, there are only two ways for everyone to go: one, escape back to the rear camp to survive, and wait for the military law to sanction. Abandon the defense line, let the enemy drive straight in, and destroy our people's homes; two, fight to the death and never retreat, kill the enemy as much as you want, even if you die, you will be honored .If God's will helps, do your best to wipe out the enemy bravely and gain a chance of survival."
"If you choose one, I will bring my vanguard battalion to cut off the rear for you, and I will stop the enemy for a day, so that you can escape. If you choose two, you will stay together."
"Tell me, do you choose one or two?" Chen Jingyuan roared, his eyes were red with excitement.
"I choose two!"
"How else do you choose? Two!"
"Damn it, it must be two! Have you forgotten the spirit of the Western Shu Army? Fight to the death and never retreat!"
"Who will be the coward? Choose the second!"
"Choose two..."
For a while, there were passionate shouts and pairs of eyes that were irritated to be red. The atmosphere of sadness and despair dissipated under the agitation of tragic emotions, and the people and horses moved quickly.
The wounded soldiers who lost their combat power were first sent back to the camp by a small group of miscellaneous soldiers, and then the camp was pulled out. The whole army quickly retreated for [-] miles. In the wilderness, only Chen Jingyuan led [-] cavalrymen, running slowly or hurriedly on the road, using the narrow road surface, nearby steep slopes, short high cliffs and other possible terrains, or digging ditches, or pushing Drop boulders, or set up roadblocks such as rolling logs.Lin Shengyu followed closely beside Chen Jingyuan, searching for available terrain as much as possible to dispatch scattered teams of more suitable combat forces, or to set up the most labor-saving and effective roadblocks.The disparity in military strength is too great, head-to-head confrontation is inevitable, and there is no danger to defend.Lin Shengyu could only break up the team into pieces, use artificial roadblocks to hinder the enemy's marching plan, and create a small advantage of small-scale sneak attacks and frequent harassment.
From the time when the camp broke out at midnight to when the sun just rose, Chen Jingyuan and his team, who were already at the forefront, looked back and saw the thick smoke rising far away.Not long after breaking out of the camp, the enemy troops who must have noticed soon will pursue them. This is the first wave of teams scattered into the dense forest on the roadside to use roadblocks to stop the enemy and launch an attack. They will definitely follow Lin Shengyu's instructions and retreat as soon as they are touched. The enemy can only defend while clearing roadblocks or send teams into the forest to chase and suppress.If you defend, you will frequently harass; if you send a small team, you will encircle and kill them.In the end, the enemy army was overwhelmed and could only set fire to the forest, and the role of the first wave of squads basically ended. They had to retreat into the depths of the forest and try not to die in the sea of fire.
Not long after, new thick smoke rose in the distance. By noon, there were already dozens of places. The distance gradually narrowed and the speed became faster and faster. The black smoke covered the distant Pieces of sky.This road can hide people and horses, and there are mostly small forests. After many similar raids, the enemy has learned experience. It is very likely that they will burn the forest first when encountering roadblocks and forests. Therefore, after the first five or six waves, the middle is very long. There is no ambush in the woods for a certain distance, so there is no risk of being trapped in the sea of fire for nothing. Just out of the woods, there are only some slopes, mounds, grasses, etc., which are not very safe ambush places. A little accident may be discovered in advance , so that a small number of people are facing the big army, the ending can be imagined, and the speed of the enemy's march is getting faster, which also confirms this point.When it was about to get dark, the sound of fighting could be faintly heard, and the enemy's distance was less than ten miles away.Fortunately, the movement gradually subsided, and the enemy stopped camping.
"It is most convenient to use darkness to harass. It is easy to take precautions during the day, but it is difficult at night. The enemy can only choose to stay and set up camp, and arrange enough officers and soldiers to take strict precautions." Lin Shengyu said the current situation earlier, relying on frequent harassment With the effect of the strategy and the protection of the night, Chen Jingyuan's 5000 troops can finally breathe a sigh of relief. They can smear and rest less than ten miles away from the enemy. It is almost a day and a night of traveling, plus dozens of roadblocks built desperately. They were all physically and mentally exhausted. After being fed hastily, they fell asleep casually. Many people even gnawed on dry food and fell asleep with their heads tilted to death. No one would think about tomorrow. When the sun rises and illuminates the road, it will be a dead end that no one dares to think about, it will be death!
Lin Shengyu and Chen Jingyuan haven't slept yet.The two of them nestled in a dirt nest, and with a small oil lamp lit, Lin Shengyu was drawing with the dim light. What he described was a small rocky slope where they were currently, but it was actually a hill formed by a huge rock, with three sides on both sides. The ten-meter-high cliff is considered a small natural danger. It is difficult for the enemy to break through from the front, but if it is a little troublesome, you can hang the ladder downhill and surround them from behind, or just abandon them.But there is almost no possibility of abandoning them. Although they have occupied a small natural danger, they are short of resources, and their knives, arrows and rolling stones are very limited.The enemy army must be aware of this and wipe out to the end.If they were left behind, they would be able to chase after them, which would only increase the risk.Lin Shengyu drew a roadblock along the way he came, crossed away all the already leveled ones, and there were only three nearby roads left. After dawn, the enemy army pulled out the camp and cleared the obstacles to the front, even if the last three waves of harassment played enough effects, It is best to hold back until noon, when the enemy will arrive.It's not wise to retreat, the enemy will be able to catch up in no time, and defending is the only and last choice. Without reinforcements, defending is to defend until death.Lin Shengyu is now doing his best to calculate the range that can hinder the hanging ladder, the manpower needed, the amount of stone that can be excavated, the defensive forces that need to be dispatched in place, and the attack bases that can be used...just to prolong the time of defending as much as possible , can make everyone die later.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but when Lin Shengyu woke up with a bang, she found herself lying in the earthen nest that she nested in last night, with a piece of felt cloth that Chen Jingyuan helped to lay under her.It was already dawn, and there were people busy moving stones and tree sections around him, setting up a stronghold according to the location he arranged last night.But at this time, most of the people paused, looking up at a cloud of dust rising not far away.Lin Shengyu suddenly understood that the rumbling sound just heard came from here, and it was the location of the last roadblock. A slightly loose boulder happened to be found on the gentle slope above. Prying it down at the right time can at least injure the enemy to death, and if you are lucky, it may block the road for a while.It seems that it has played a role, but the last roadblock is only two miles away, and the enemy is close at hand!
Lin Shengyu caught sight of Chen Jingyuan who was assigning people to the blueprints he drew last night, and hurried over to help. The matter has come to this point, it is useless to worry too much, what can be done, and how much can be done.
After noon, the enemy attacked.As soon as the Vietnamese army appeared, their eyes were bloodshot and their descriptions were a bit embarrassing, and there were many wounded soldiers. The road was frequently consumed by small groups, and the loss was not small. People are timid.
A round of arrow rain and thousands of rolling stones fell down, and the fallen flesh and blood quickly filled the bottom of the rocky slope.Splattered blood mixed with broken limbs covered the road.Thousands of archers and slingers arranged behind the simple fortifications temporarily withstood round after round of enemy charges.Sure enough, a series of hanging ladders hung to both sides of the road, and the enemy planned to take a detour and copy it.With an order, Chen Jingyuan led the troops on the right, and Xiao Yongli led the troops on the left. The two teams of hundreds of men each rushed down at the same time.After going back and forth like this several times, thousands of Vietnamese troops finally went down a long way and besieged them from behind. At this point, they were surrounded on both sides and had to divide their troops to resist.
It was getting dark, and it was night again. The soldiers who had fought hard for four or five hours were still roaring with hoarse killing sounds, desperately defending the more and more dilapidated fortifications, but more and more people fell. There are no rolling stones to trust in your hands, and no arrows to shoot from the bowstring.The enemy's footsteps finally stepped over the fortification line. Everyone swung steel knives and hammers. For a while, there were figures fighting each other everywhere, and blood was splashing everywhere.Lin Shengyu held a small dagger tightly and hid in the corner as much as possible. If he encountered an enemy, he could be sent back to the west with just one knife, which was very convenient.The dark night temporarily provides some space to escape, but life and death are also at a moment's notice.Lin Shengyu noticed that there were flames and faint shouts of killing coming from the rear of the enemy army two miles away. It should be that the surviving harassment unit gathered to the rear to fight back. Everyone was fighting, fighting desperately.
Lin Chengyu suddenly saw a sharp steel knife coming towards him, and there was no way to avoid it, so he thought, ah, I'm going to die.However, with a bang, the steel knife flew out, and a stick was picked up in front of him, smashing a face in front of him with a bang.Chen Jingyuan reined in his horse to a stop, lifted him onto the horse in front of him, and continued to charge towards the fighting crowd.More Vietnamese troops rushed up the stone slope, and someone lit a torch to illuminate the battlefield.Lin Shengyu immediately looked around, and in the small encirclement of the enemy, there were tragic figures fighting for their lives. It was really about to end, Lin Chengyu closed his eyes, not daring to look any further.All I could hear was the orderly and loud shouts of killing approaching from the back slope, and another group of enemies came around.
"Reinforcement?"
"It's reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements are coming—kill!"
Lin Shengyu hurriedly opened his eyes and saw a group of light cavalry with a bright armor, leaping high over the dilapidated fortifications and fiercely charging towards the Vietnamese army.More and more fresh troops poured in, and the battle situation on the stone slope was reversed in an instant. In a blink of an eye, they had turned back from the front slope and rushed into the enemy's formation, forming an encirclement with the surviving troops gathered behind the enemy.
Chen Jingyuan reined in his horse and stood on the top of the slope until someone from the reinforcements came along with him, and he stretched out his hand to pull Lin Shengyu over and put him in front of him. "His Royal Highness." Chen Jingyuan saluted on the horse before riding downhill alone, "Follow me to kill the enemy—" "Kill the enemy!" "We are going to win—kill"
Lin Chengyu turned his head, widened his eyes, and after looking for a while, he was sure that there was indeed a familiar face in front of him.
"Cao Xian..."
☆, no guess
The [-] reinforcements that Cao Xianru came from were like a strong booster. Less than [-] remnants were struggling in the siege of the powerful enemy on Poshang. With the reinforcements on the attack, they went straight into the enemy's main line, and killed them regardless.And the four words "reinforcement is coming" shouted by thousands of people were also sent to the ears of the stragglers of the raiding unit who would rather fight to the death than retreat behind the enemy lines. night sky.Suddenly, in the middle of the enemy army, another group of troops rushed in on the slope, setting off another noisy exclamation and screams. This is a group of people pushing boulders to block the road ahead, and they are probably waiting for an opportunity to flee to a high place. , and now is a good time to wait, almost cutting the enemy army in half in one fell swoop.
Sitting on the horse, Lin Shengyu was already filled with joy in the battle situation illuminated by torches near and far.The 1 Vietnamese army won the attack and defense in Katsuragi, but lost more than 5000. The first pursuit lost nearly [-] on the slope. This way, nearly [-] scattered small groups of small groups frequently attacked and consumed more than [-]. There were also [-] troops, and when they arrived at the foot of the stone slope, they were exhausted and injured, and there were only more than [-] troops. A mere [-] troops was difficult to deal with. Butter easily disintegrated the enemy's strength and morale.Really want to win!For two days and two nights, [-] remnant soldiers who had nowhere to go but were fearless to die, did not expect that they would really fight for this chance of survival.Lin Chengyu's eyes filled with tears and his body trembled slightly due to the excitement of the rest of his life.Cao Xian lightly hugged the man in his arms with the hand of controlling the horse, shook the reins, and swung the long halberd to rush down the slope, surrounded by twenty fine armored guards holding torches, each guarding their positions, followed closely, and killed together. Into the enemy group.
When the battle lasted until midnight, the Vietnamese army was unable to continue, and the rear team barely broke through. The rear was also weak and unsustainable.The front team had no choice but to fight to the death under the siege on both sides, and was wiped out before dawn.Chen Jingyuan counted the surviving troops after World War I. There were less than [-] people, and everyone was physically and mentally exhausted. They were in a trance in the extreme joy and the same sadness, so they camped and rested on the spot.Cao Xian couldn't stop after reorganizing the army for a while, and led a group of reinforcements to chase after the enemy.Lin Shengyu handed it back to Chen Jingyuan again, and took it to rest.
Three days later, Chen Jingyuan slowly returned to Gecheng with Lin Shengyu and the repaired troops, only to see his own army flag flying on the city wall, and the city gate was wide open to welcome everyone into the city.One day ago, from the reports of the scouts, everyone knew that Cao Xian's vanguard had caught up with the remaining ten thousand Vietnamese troops in front of Gecheng five miles away, and then killed them all the way. The two soldiers mixed and rushed straight into Gecheng , and the main force of the Vietnamese army was exhausted, and there were only a few hundred miscellaneous soldiers left in Gecheng. Completely expelled Katsuragi, expelled from the border between the two countries, and went straight into the Yue Kingdom for ten miles before giving up.
After Lin Shengyu followed Chen Jingyuan to settle his subordinates and troops in the Gecheng barracks, he and a group of generals walked towards the small barracks set up for generals.At one point, Chen Jingyuan stopped Lin Shengyu's footsteps, and pointed to the open door in front of him.
"Please come in, Prince Lin, the prince has been waiting for you for a long time."
"General Chen, this..., I..." Under the eyes of everyone, Lin Shengyu scratched his head in embarrassment, and looked at the two rows of finely armored guards at the door. Who would know that this was the prince's barracks?During the conditioned reflex, Lin Chengyu almost said that I was still your first-class slave, and narrowly stopped talking, otherwise wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?What's more, although he was a little flustered, the desire to see Cao Xian in his heart was still stronger.
"Haha, I've heard that Lin Shizi and His Highness have been together since they were young when they were hostages, and they are very friendly." Xiao Yongli smiled heartily, motivating all the generals around him to smile kindly and urge Lin Chengyu to go in quickly. Bar.What Lin Shengyu did by Chen Jingyuan's side all the way, everyone saw it, not to mention the soldiers of the First Pioneer Battalion who followed Bingshu before, but for the battle of Gecheng, if there was no sudden reinforcements from Cao Xian Dead end, but without Lin Shengyu's various ingenious arrangements, there might not be a chance to survive until the moment of rescue.The heroic nature of the Xishu sergeant would not care about low status. After escaping from the dead, everyone remembered His Highness the Crown Prince and at the same time respected Lin Shengyu as a military adviser. Now talking about the relationship between the two is also full of joy.
"Well, we grew up together, the friendship between childhood sweethearts, until the crown prince was recalled to Beijing three years ago..." When Lin Shengyu was standing at the door hesitating, he heard Chen Jingyuan affirming his relationship with the crown prince while walking. course.
"Cheng Yu——" Cao Xian was waiting for him in the room, seeing that he was still outside the door, so he walked to the door by himself.They were all called, and Lin Shengyu didn't care about his flustered state of mind. He hurriedly passed through the guard queue and came to the door. Cao Xian grabbed his left hand and led him into the door. He walked all the way to the inside before letting go.The two stood still, not knowing how to speak for a moment.Lin Chengyu lowered his head, still reminiscing about the hand that held him just now, with the familiar strength and temperature, and the thin callus from the halberd in his palm is still there.It is this hand, from the soft and fat one when he was a child, to the young man who was strong and slender when he left one to three years ago. , to countless people: the naughty boy who bullied him, made things difficult for his wife, molested his mother, and the uncle who forced him to condescend to flatter his boss...He declared over and over again: This is my man, who of you dare to mess with him?Lin Shengyu protested many times when he got older, I'm not a girl, don't pull me like this.Cao Xian always agrees, okay, okay, then I won't pull you.It's just that when he turned around, he forgot about something, copied it with his hand, pulled it up and ran away. Lin Shengyu woke up and couldn't break free even if he wanted to, so he had to let it go.On the day of separation three years ago, before getting on the horse, Cao Xian held Lin Shengyu's hand tightly and said, "I will pick you up to the capital soon. Shengyu, I will always protect you!" Not long after that year, Lin Shengyu did go to the capital, but what he took was not a carriage but a prison cart...
"I... I didn't have any better way to protect you at that time. The situation in Beijing is difficult, so I can only make you suffer..."
Lin Shengyu raised his head in astonishment, saw Cao Xian's sad and painful eyes, and suddenly realized that when he was having trouble getting along because of being a prisoner of treason, Cao Xian was more disturbed than him. He was blaming himself for not protecting himself well. He blamed himself for being helpless, he always remembered his promise to Lin Shengyu, even though Lin Shengyu's identity was already a traitor and a prisoner.wrong!It turned out that he was wrong, Cao Xian was still Cao Xian, and Cao Xian was still protecting Lin Shengyu wholeheartedly, nothing had changed.He should have understood it a long time ago, no, he actually understood it, when Chen Jingyuan said that he would complete the entrustment with death, or earlier, he just didn't dare to believe such a beauty easily.
Lin Shengyu hugged Cao Xian tightly from the front, buried his face deeply in the warm shoulder socket, feeling the rapid and powerful heartbeat underneath.After a while, Cao Xian put his arms lightly on his back and tightened them tightly, hugging Lin Chengyu tightly into his arms. It was something he didn't dare to do when they were on the same horse in the dark night three days ago, but now Finally did it.
"At that time, it hurt, right?"
Lin Shengyu smiled softly, thinking of Cao Xian who pretended to be indifferent and left in a hurry that day, he couldn't bear to watch it.That meal was really painful, but luckily it's over.
"It's okay. Later, General Chen protected me all the way. I was chased and killed, and it was resolved."
"Well, I know. I have dealt with the person who chased and killed you, and I know the mastermind. One day, I will find him to take revenge."
"But why do you want to hunt me down?" It's unbelievable to chase down a death row prisoner without any effort.
"Maybe I sent Chen Jingyuan to attract their attention. It's not a secret that Chen Jingyuan is my number one assistant."
Lin Shengyu thinks about it, it is indeed very possible, the crime of treason, there are always some people who can't bear it.And now that he personally led the troops here, wouldn't Cao Xian be suspected of covering up?
"It doesn't matter, it's nothing more than a tear between the two sides." Cao Xian didn't care about it.
"He Zhiyi is a narrow-minded person. He and Chen Jingyuan had many conflicts before. Now that he is overpowering Chen Jingyuan, he will definitely take the opportunity to kill him. How can I just sit idly by?"
"Bingshu is just a test of a small group of troops. Gecheng's victory is already decided. Liu Ao and Xigou, He Zhiyi brought most of the main force. Our troops have obvious advantages, and it is difficult to lose. With you like this Wan Yuanjun, the danger of Western Shu no longer exists. It’s just that General Yu is afraid of being framed when he returns to Beijing this time, so is there any help in Beijing?”
Cao Xian frowned, "Fang Gelou will speak frankly, but General Yu has a strong temper, and he may be accused of unreasonable crimes by the officials. We will break out of the camp tomorrow and take me back to take care of this villain He Zhiyi. Return to the capital."
Lin Shengyu and the others marched back to Gecheng in the afternoon, and it was almost evening when they met Cao Xian after they settled down. The two chatted for several hours, and the guards brought them a hastily eaten dinner, and continued to chat until midnight.Most of what he said was Cao Xian's situation in the past three years. Although Lin Shengyu's accident was very dangerous, the days before the accident were peaceful, and the process of the feudal prince's rebellion had nothing to do with him, but he was implicated innocently after the incident That's all.On the contrary, on Cao Xian's side, the situation is complicated and people are unpredictable.Although Cao Xian has no competitors for the position of crown prince, the king of Dazhao has few heirs, and now he is in his forties, and there is only one son, Cao Xian.But the internal party struggle is fierce. Since Cao Xian returned to Beijing, he has gone from having nothing and being alone, to gradually having a guard, with confidantes, who can take over some soldiers and horses.After Lin Shengyu heard about it, he had a vague feeling that Cao Xian was hiding something, but after thinking about it, there was no trace. Later, the two fell asleep together, separated for three years, and the hesitation of fate, the strangeness brought about has gradually disappeared.
☆、Kill the general and send him away (fill in the leak)
The next morning, when Lin Shengyu woke up, Cao Xian had already gone out.Lin Shengyu was lethargic, and he always needed to sleep more than the average person. He was always late for morning classes since elementary school, and was often punished by his master for this.In the past few days, even if I was wandering, if I was not awakened by someone waking up for food, I would always be the last one to get up.Cao Xian is naturally aware of his habits, now that the enemy has retreated, he will not wake him up early, and go out early to arrange for the camp.Lin Shengyu got up, washed up, ate the breakfast that Cao Xian specially left for him, and went out to look at the sky. It was already mid-morning, and all the people in front of him were soldiers who were rushing to clean up the camp and deploy for defense.Turning around suddenly, he saw the inquiring and disdainful eyes of the two guards guarding at the door, one of them didn't even want to hide it.This sleep was too presumptuous, misunderstanding is inevitable, Lin Chengyu smiled wryly in his heart.
Cao Xian and Chen Jingyuan were probably busy, Lin Shengyu chose a random direction and walked, thinking that whoever he met, he could help with something.It's just that Lin Chengyu couldn't walk any further than a hundred meters away. The gazes cast from around him were too intense. No matter how open-minded he was, he still couldn't bear it. What's more, he was also guilty of treason in his heart. Cao Xian's identity made it difficult for him.And here, Lin Shengyu couldn't get rid of his special identity as a first-class military slave. He was followed by Chen Jingyuan, and he arrived at Cao Xian's barracks last night. Generals like Xiao Yongli knew the details of yesterday's process. Those who have a special relationship with them don’t think too much about it, and they are grateful for the life-saving grace. If they have thoughts, they are based on good intentions, but what ordinary soldiers saw was only the first-class slaves entering Cao Xian’s room, and only came out so late after one night. , the idea is much simpler and more straightforward. The talk of Meinu’s being in power is really suitable for fermenting in a relaxed atmosphere. After Lin Shengyu insisted on walking a few more steps, the surrounding pointing and words of Mai Tai people had spread presumptuously. ears.In desperation, Lin Chengyu could only turn his head back and forth, silently facing the cold gaze of the guard at the door, went into the room and sat down, touched a book to read.
At noon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then I heard Xiao Yongli yelling loudly: "Hey, what are these bastards talking about? None of them know who saved their lives! "It's mainly the gang I brought, who are chewing their tongues without knowing the situation, let's see how I deal with them!" Cao Xian added bitterly, and when Lin Chengyu heard the familiar tune, he felt that he had to follow behind. He said "I don't even look at this person!", but he still held back his words.He stood up and went to the door to see that it was Chen Jingyuan and a group of generals who had come to Cao Xian's side together, carrying some food in their hands. It was obvious that they had come to meet for lunch.Lin Chengyu knew that Cao Xian had a rough temperament, so it was not surprising that he became one with the rough guys in Xishu so quickly.Lin Shengyu greeted each other and helped Zhang Luo's tables and chairs to arrange the dishes. These people all laughed and told the truth.
"Shizi Lin, you must have heard what those bastards said, right?"
"Ah, I heard. You can only hide in the house, and you will be scolded when you go out."
"You son of a bitch! They are all ungrateful! Don't take it to heart."
"We will vent your anger on you and cut them to death! Don't worry about it, the old buddies know how good you are, and you are not that kind of person at all."
"His Royal Highness has an idea, and will issue a commendation order after dinner, and you will be our clerk from now on."
"Although your crime is a bit big, if you really defend your family and country, you will be rewarded." Cao Xian patted the table to drink with people. Today is the day to celebrate the lifting of the amnesty ban.
"That's right, we, everyone will keep you! The clerk is not enough, and the big guys point to you as a military adviser." Everyone echoed in unison, while toasting him.
Facing the group of people in front of him, Lin Shengyu felt at ease.It's really comforting to be so straight-hearted and like to recognize him. Cao Xian, who is so unscrupulous and not at all reserved as a prince, is so familiar. The new identity they arranged is also the most suitable.After a meal, Lin Chengyu drank until he was slightly tipsy.This is also a rare thing in his cautious and restrained past.
In the afternoon, the team assembled and prepared to break out of camp.Although Katsuragi's battle was fierce, he won in the end, and the glory of returning triumphantly is exciting.Throughout Cao Xian's battle, he did not shy away from the crisis caused by the court's temporary change of generals, and the danger caused by He Zhiyi's failure to reinforce, nor did he ignore the passiveness caused by the failure to send troops in time at the beginning, and fought to the death for the disadvantaged The Wei of the Western Shu Army greatly appreciated it, rewarded and promoted low-level non-commissioned officers including Lin Shengyu on the spot, and listed their achievements in this battle in detail. Among them, Lin Shengyu's content was particularly brilliant and convincing.Finally, the merits of other senior generals are also explained one by one. They will be reported to the imperial court and rewarded by edict. To wash away the general's grievances.Immediately, the voices of "His Royal Highness is wise" and "His Royal Highness decides for us" spread everywhere, and countless people burst into tears.
Taking advantage of dawn, 2 horses left the city one after another and returned to camp quickly as planned.The original Xishu troops were in front, and Cao Xian led the troops and horses to retreat.Lin Shengyu declined Cao Xian's invitation to go with him, and happily chatted and laughed with other clerks, and walked at the front of the team. After having a formal military position, he felt very comfortable.But after a while, a small team of Da Da came from behind, and Cao Xian stood side by side on Lin Chengyu's right hand side. Naturally, his twenty guards followed closely around and surrounded Lin Chengyu alone. In the circle, the other clerks were immediately separated by three or four horses.Lin Shengyu had no choice but to accuse Cao Xian with his eyes. When Cao Xian saw Lin Shengyu's wide-eyed eyes, he felt itchy and wanted to hold him in his arms like that night, but he didn't want to let others suffer after he left. Criticism, had to endure.
"I haven't seen you for more than three years, and I will leave again in a few days, so hurry up and say a few more words, can't you?" Cao Xian complained with his head down.Hear this grievance?Lin Shengyu had no choice but to retreat.
"Son of rebellion, you are also a friend. You are not afraid of people talking about the court?" Lin Shengyu said this with a solemn tone. Although he was delighted by Cao Xian's unswerving love for him, he was really worried about him. overly affected by it.
"It's not as serious as you think. I have already reported to the emperor, and as a proton, it is unfair for you to be implicated in this." When Cao Xian said to the end, his tone became stiffer. It can be imagined that Cao Xian had fought based on this, and he must is to attract opposition or indifference.Who cares if a proton is innocent?It is the safest and most convenient way to cut the weeds and roots, so it is no wonder that some people want to hunt him down.And Cao Xian tried his best to protect him so recklessly, he would eventually be caught.It still held him back, Lin Chengyu sighed helplessly in his heart.
It was nightfall again, and Lin Shengyu entered the prince's tent again.One is that Cao Xian's ability to grab hold and run has not deteriorated even after three years, and Lin Shengyu is still unable to react in time; moreover, getting together for a few days will be a long-term or even permanent parting, and Lin Shengyu is always reluctant to get along with each other all the time.Go out for dinner and have a big pot meal with the soldiers. Cao Xian, who is so unrefined, is the most suitable for getting along with a bunch of reckless men in the Western Shu Army. He dragged Sheng Yu to a stove and sat down, and the crowd was lively After eating, the topic turned to their plight as hostage teenagers, and Cao Xian began to brag about how he led Lin Shengyu in those years, how majestic and invincible he was, with his literary and martial arts strategies, coquettishness, It is very appropriate for such a delicate person like Lin Shengyu.Lin Chengyu put up with it again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up to retort that the brother-in-law who tried to provoke the city lord was secretly imprisoned. If he hadn't pretended to be the prince and broke into the city lord's mansion, he would probably not be able to get out. , How many times have you written a bad article and been scolded by your husband so why don't you say it!Cao Xian complained to Sheng Yu that you're a very incompetent person, so don't expose me in front of a large group of brothers.There were already more than a circle of people around to join in the fun, and they all laughed at Cao Xian's bragging, and even Chen Jingyuan came out to make up for it, saying that last year he dared to think that the congratulatory message written by the Tai Tuo for the emperor's birthday was too empty, so he had to write it himself , As a result, he rubbed the paper all over the floor, and said countless times that Lin Shizi was here.
On the way back with them after dinner, Cao Xian still said that in the past three years, he really wanted to take Lin Shengyu by his side from time to time, but the situation in the capital was too dangerous for Lin Shengyu.Lin Shengyu didn't understand why he was in danger when he went to the capital earlier, but he just thought
