Kuimen is located to the west of Qutang Gorge and is the western gateway to Baidi Jiangguan. Wang Rui and Luo Xian's water village is located here.
Inside the Governor's Mansion.
With the support of Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong, Li Xian was almost carried into the governor's mansion.
"Wang Rui, do you know your guilt?" Li Xian could no longer suppress the grief in his heart, so he slowly spoke.
Wang Rui took off his helmet and banged his head heavily on the ground. The ground was still stained with blood, and he cried: "Captain! Wang Rui is guilty!"
"You know the crime! You know what the crime is!" Li Xian shouted angrily with a mixture of grief and anger.
"Zhao Guang, tell him what kind of crime this is!" Li Xian said angrily again.
Zhao Guang hesitated for a moment: "This...this..."
"Fleeing after a long battle, losing troops and generals, disobeying the general's orders, and going into battle privately! What a crime!"
When Zhao Guang heard this, he knew that Li Xian was extremely angry, so he had no choice but to hold his hands in his hands and say: "I will... I will kill him!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Pull him down and chop him!" Li Xian ordered angrily.
Unexpectedly, this frightened all the generals in the tent. Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong hurriedly knelt down with their hands and begged: "Captain, Mr. Wang Rui is young and energetic, but he eats and lives with his subordinates. Whenever there is a war, I am also taking the lead, and I also ask the Governor to spare the life of the young general during the battle with the men!" The two men quickly signaled to the generals in the tent to kneel down and beg for mercy together.
Li Xian looked at the kneeling generals and Wang Rui's pupils, which were like earthquakes, and felt his heart tremble.
"For this little boy, he has harmed our general. Do you still want to plead with him?"
Unexpectedly, all the generals in the tent shouted together: "Please have mercy, Commander!"
"Captain Luo Xian, please see me!"
"Come in!"
However, the person who came in after the order was not Luo Xian at all, but many soldiers and generals who had retreated from the Zhiyuan. They were all covered in colors and only wore simple bandages.
"Commander, these are the sergeants on the Zhiyuan."
But hundreds of soldiers came in and knelt down and said, "Please have mercy, Commander!"
Li Xian saw that so many navy sergeants were begging for mercy. He slowly walked forward, helped up the leading sergeant, and said: "My fellow officers and soldiers, Quanzi is ignorant and has harmed our entire army. Xian Xian is here to make amends for Quanzi." !”
But he saw Li Xian bowing his hands and bowing immediately to the retreating sergeant of the Zhiyuan outside the tent.
"Captain! You can't do it!" The soldiers quickly stepped forward to help him.
"How can you say that Wu Yi has the same hatred as you! Today, the Governor of Japan is here to assure you that we lost the Zhiyuan today, and I will definitely get it back for you in the future!"
"As for Wang Rui, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. The punishment of the rod is eighty, so you can listen in front of the tent! Fu Qian, you come to jail!"
Fu Qian quickly raised his hand and said, "General, I'm afraid Brother Rui won't be able to bear the eighty-year military staff of the Commander-in-Chief!"
Li Xian said calmly: "If you can't bear it, you have to bear it with me!"
The officers under the tent immediately took the order and dragged Wang Rui to the execution platform in front of the school ground, but they heard Fu Qian shout: "Executioner! Execution!"
The autumn wind blew on the river, and a hint of coolness pierced the hearts of every sergeant almost instantly. At this moment, the river water in Qutang Gorge had turned extremely bright red under the setting sun and the blood.
"one!"
"two!"
"Kill Wu Gou! Kill Wu Gou! Kill Wu Gou!" Wang Rui gritted his teeth all the time without shouting any pain. Instead, he shouted the three words "Kill Wu Gou" loudly.
"three!"
"Four!"
"Avenge General Tian!" Wang Rui continued to shout.
The high sun gradually disappearing into the west, stumbling like an ignorant child, is still reflected on Wang Rui's face with blurred eyes, and when the five army sticks are pulled down, there is already blood on the sticks.
It seemed that the scene from ten years ago had reappeared in Yong'an. Li Xian heard the song "The Great Pass and the Road is as True as Iron" being sung with the cry again in the military camp. For a moment, he felt a little dazed.
"Captain! Young Master Wang Rui has fainted! Qian'er is willing to be punished on Brother Rui's behalf!"
"Luo is also willing to suffer the punishment on behalf of Mr. Wang Rui!" Luo Xian also knelt down and said.
"Zhao is also willing to be punished on behalf of Mr. Wang Rui!" Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong knelt down again, but both of them had tears in their eyes.
.....
Li Xian hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but he only glanced at Wang Rui outside the house from afar, and sighed: "How can I say that Wu Yi has the same hatred as me! Today's blood feud will be repaid with the blood and tears of Soochow in the future!"
"How many military sticks?"
"General...General...Brother Rui, I have received...fifty military sticks!" Fu Qian cried.
"Why are you crying! Let's stop here." As Li Xianzheng was speaking, Wang Rui, who had regained consciousness, gritted his teeth angrily and yelled: "No! Finish the beating!"
Li Xian was a little surprised that Wang Rui's temperament was so tenacious.
"Then the Commander-in-Chief will help you! Finish it for me!" Li Xianyan said.
"Are you crazy?" Fu Qian quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Rui.
"Brother Qian, don't forget how our father died. If we can't even bear the 80-year army stick, what courage do we have to continue to defeat the Wu army! I must kill all the Wu dogs! Give it to my father, Revenge your father, General Guan, General Zhang, and Uncle Tian, and the people who died under their conspiracy! Kill! Kill! Kill!" Wang Rui took Fu Qian's hand and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Qian, execution!"
Fu Qian had no choice but to beat the remaining thirty military sticks with tears in his eyes. After the execution, he immediately had Wang Rui carried back to rest.
"General, secret message from Ye Xiao Camp." Suddenly I felt someone behind me speaking.
Li Xian took the note from the man and saw only a few words: "Quan Cong has arrived, and Lu Xun has returned to Wu."
After reading it, Li Xian nodded and immediately burned the note. His face remained calm and he ordered: "Everyone, please stop here today and disperse."
At night, Wang Rui's military tent.
Li Xian paced back and forth beside Wang Rui's bed, feeling like the world was spinning. Fu Qian was also sitting by the bed and watching over him: "Captain, the fever hasn't gone away yet. It will probably take three to five days before I can get out of bed and walk." But he saw Fu Qian. He changed to a clean rag and cleaned the wound.
Li Xian seemed to have thought of something, and quickly took out a small bottle of medicine from his arms. The pungent smell of Yunnan Baiyao instantly filled the entire camp. "Come and apply some on the wound." Li Xian handed the medicine bottle to Fu Fu Qian smelled it in Qian's hand and didn't feel anything strange. It was just that the smell was particularly pungent.
"Are you awake?" Li Xian asked hurriedly.
Fu Qian shook his head and said, "It's been three hours and I still haven't woken up."
While he was talking, he heard Wang Rui make a hissing sound, and it looked like he was in pain even when he was asleep.
"Commander, why do you think you are doing this? Why do you still fight when you are obviously reluctant to let go?" Fu Qian said like a little adult. Li Xian was surprised. It didn't seem like the words spoken by an eleven-year-old child at all.
Li Xian also paused and said: "A battlefield where there is a near-death experience is not a place where one can be arrogant. If I don't wake him up today, I will only create a bigger trap in the future."
Fu Qian nodded as if he understood, but he didn't care and continued to apply medicine on Wang Rui's bruised butt.
...
In the Jiangxia Governor's Mansion.
"Fart! Lu Xun dares to fight him, but I Quan Cong can't do it? Isn't it just Yong'an City? Listen to me, tomorrow morning, the whole army will set off and go straight to Yong'an City! I have the Zhiyuan, and even if I measure him, I can get three Hole!" Quan Cong angrily scolded Ding Feng who had advised him not to send troops. Ding Feng felt helpless. He was not easy to mess with. Not only was he a relative of the emperor and the consort of Wu, but he was also the governor-general himself. Apart from speaking out, There is almost no way to stop him from giving orders.
All the soldiers looked at each other in confusion. Only Jiang Yi, who came with Quan Cong, cupped his hands and said: "Follow the orders of the Commander-in-Chief!"
Then all the generals raised their hands together and said: "Follow the orders of the Commander-in-Chief!"
"Okay, you guys have a good meal tonight, and come back with a good fight tomorrow!"
"yes!"
"By the way, Ding Feng, don't you want to defend the city? Then you will defend it in Jiangxia County. Let's wait and see if we perform meritorious service. If we are rewarded with a title, don't blame me for not supporting you!" Cong said with strange yin and yang.
Ding Feng shook his head and went straight out of Jiangxia Governor's Mansion. Looking at the bright moonlight, he sighed and returned to his military tent.
"Why are you sighing, general? You should be happy because you shot the general of Shu the day before yesterday." One of the generals in Ding Feng's tent stepped forward and said.
"Wen Xiang, Commander Boyan has returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Now that the entire army is leading the army, he feels extremely impetuous. Since our army's successful ambush, I feel that the army has gradually become arrogant and arrogant. Not only this new Commander-in-Chief, but also the entire army has this feeling. Arrogance." Ding Fengyan said.
Xu Sheng said: "What the general said is exactly what I am thinking about. I can't sleep these days because of the bad food. I just feel like there is a lump in my chest. I didn't feel this way when I won great victories in the past. I'm afraid that if the whole army can't put down this arrogance, The energy will..."
"What can you do?"
"There will be Liu Bei's mistakes in the past."
Ding Feng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed: "Why don't I have such worries? It's just that the prince-in-law not only refuses to listen to advice, but even the second general Pan Ma has shown signs of it. If Governor Boyan is here, how can he do it?" in this way."
Xu Sheng then said: "To be honest, General Boyan's military genius is the sharpest sword God has given to Your Majesty. And this Li Xian, although he came later but came first, is no less powerful than General Boyan." He is so handsome, but..."
Ding Feng asked: "Just what?"
Xu Sheng then said: "It's just that General Boyan is a general commander, but Li Xian is a partial commander."
"What is the overall commander? What is the partial commander?" Ding Feng asked again.
"The whole commander controls the whole army, and the troops are controlled calmly. The troops are like arms and fingers, but the partial commander often displays inhuman wisdom. He also needs to gallop on the battlefield and charge into battle, just like Guan Yunchang back then."
Ding Feng nodded, he agreed very much with these words, but now Quan Cong is obviously neither of these, and it is very likely that he will lead the Wu army to disaster, but he can't stop him at all.
"General Xu, if there is a war between the two countries, one of you and I will die. Please ask the general to take care of my wife and children for me. Ding will be grateful!" Ding Feng indeed felt that the other party was a rare talent, but under Quan Cong's account, , completely useless.
"General Ding, I will do my best! If I die on the Yangtze River, please General Ding be kind to my wife and children!" After the two of them entrusted each other with their funeral arrangements, they became sworn brothers under the night sky.
...
In Yongan City.
"General! Quan Cong has mobilized a cavalry force of 100,000 people, and sent troops from Jiangxia to attack Yong'an!"
"Who is the pioneer?"
"The vanguard officer is Jiang Yi, and he will have 20,000 infantry!"
"Zhao Tong obeys the order!"
"The general is here!"
"Order the Langzhen soldiers to come out of the city to meet the enemy!" Zhao Tong accepted the order.
"Xu Zhi obeys the order!"
"The general is here!"
"You take Tian Dali's 500 cavalry and dig in from the flank. You must create a gap for me to come out!"
"Yes! I have long wanted to kill Wu Gou to avenge Lao Tian!"
"Luo Xian listens to orders!"
"The general is here!"
"Quickly go to the quartermaster's office to get five hundred rifles. With the Dingyuan in the lead and the Yellow Crane as the auxiliary, stop the Dongwu fleet and shoot at the mouth of the Qutang Gorge! If the Wu army dares to come, let them all be buried here! "
"The last general takes command!"
"Today the autumn floods have passed. Uncle Master, Fu Qian, you two will follow me and wait for the Qilin to raid Yidu County! Success or failure depends on this one move!"
"The last general takes command!"
After Li Xian finished dispatching, Xu Zhen from the Night Owl Battalion behind him stepped forward and said: "General, all the soldiers will leave the city this time. What if the traitor makes a move? Li Yan has been ill for more than half a month."
"It doesn't matter! You just play by ear!"
"yes!"
