West of Chuhe Village.
There is a river here, and there are hundreds of ships on the river sailing from one end to the other side of the river.
Looking down from above.
many!
There are so many ships, so numerous and dense, that they are like ants scurrying away.
By the river.
General Suzaku was covered in blood.
The last boat carried villagers from Chuhe Village. The captain of the boat said: "General, we are leaving! You must be careful!"
General Suzaku was a little numb at this time.
He killed too many people!
Too tired!
Then he nodded: "Well, be careful on the road."
The captain nodded, and then ordered the villagers of Chuhe Village to row away.
So far.
All the villagers of Chuhe Village under his protection crossed the river and headed to the other side of the river!
And on the shore.
There are many Suzaku Guards, some covered in blood, some clean, and some with broken arms.
There was no one with a broken leg, because the one with a broken leg had long since died while escorting the villagers.
Yes!
They have enemies!
Li Shimin was General Tiance and had an extremely keen sense of war. He could see at a glance that Chuhe Village was a cover, so he only sent Li Dajun to lead the infantry to attack Chuhe Village.
Then.
The most elite black armor cavalry were temporarily handed over to the leadership of Li Xiaogong. Li Xiaogong led 3,000 black armor cavalry to pursue the 3,000 Suzaku guards of General Suzaku.
Xuanjia Cavalry is the ace jockey of the Tang Dynasty, so fast!
General Suzaku's Suzaku Camp mainly focuses on capturing cities and territories. There are cavalry in the camp, but most of them are archers and crossbowmen.
Half an hour ago.
Li Xiaogong led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry and touched the tail of the Suzaku Camp. He was only one thousand meters away from the Chuhe Village villager at the end.
The threat is coming!
General Suzaku immediately issued an order to protect the villagers of Chuhe Village, and personally led most of the Suzaku Guards to stay and stop the enemy. Then a small group of Suzaku Guards continued to escort the villagers of Chuhe Village and helped them cross the river by boat.
General Suzaku and his Suzaku Camp are world-famous, and once created the legend of conquering six cities in three days.
But in this battle, he encountered Li Shimin's ace jockey, the Black Armor Cavalry! And most of his soldiers in the Suzaku Battalion are crossbowmen.
The threat of cavalry to crossbowmen is more terrifying than any other type of military force.
When he came to the river this time, he was retreating more and more. The two sides had fought all the way to the river, and there was no place for him to retreat.
There is no way to retreat.
The Suzaku Guards in front could not hold on for long.
but!
Fortunately, all the villagers of Chuhe Village who were still alive crossed the river.
This is a blessing in misfortune.
"General, please cross the river quickly!!"
At this time, the commander of the Zhuque Guard asked General Zhuque to cross the river.
General Suzaku's eyes were calm. The previous killing and attacking spirit had completely disappeared tonight, leaving only calm.
Along the way.
He saw that too many of his soldiers were dead.
He saw with his own eyes that the Zhuque Guards escorted the villagers of Chuhe Village to escape from the war-torn place, rescuing people again and again. Finally, once, he could never come back.
He saw with his own eyes that the Suzaku Guard could dodge the spear attack of the Black Armor Cavalry, but he did not. He resolutely blocked the incoming spear with his body, because there was a child from the village at the end of the spear, holding his head helplessly at the original position. The ground was crying.
He saw with his own eyes that the Suzaku Guard's crossbow was firing. Even so, he did not retreat. He picked up the dagger he carried and rushed forward without any hesitation or pause. It was not until a black armored cavalry passed by that he stopped and fell. down.
He saw it with his own eyes….
Along the way, there are too many things.
Too many people died.
General Suzaku has experienced hundreds of battles and seen countless deaths. His eyes have never lost the extremely aggressive and murderous gaze. But the loss of life tonight has made his murderous eyes fade away, leaving only calmness.
This is not calm, this is numbness.
Too many people died.
They are all their own people.
There are villagers from Chuhe Village and Suzaku Guards.
"It is raining again."
General Suzaku looked at the sky where it was drizzling again, and felt that the rain had come at the wrong time. If heavy rain came by then, the villagers crossing the river might be in danger.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it.
"Let's go."
"Go across the river."
General Suzaku's cloudy eyes remained calm.
In an instant, those commanders of the Suzaku Battalion who were still alive knew General Suzaku's will.
Fight to the death! Don’t retreat! Don’t surrender!
"Let's go, I still have some things to do."
General Suzaku spoke again.
Something to do?
The villagers are all gone, there is nothing left to do.
It was just to find a reason so that he could cross the river with only the flames of Suzaku camp.
Let them know that they are not deserters! He wasn't fighting to the death, but was "accidentally" stopped by the Black Armor Cavalry while he was doing something.
After saying that, General Suzaku stopped looking at them and walked forward, preparing to get on his horse.
"General!!"
A commander of the Suzaku Battalion stopped him.
General Suzaku stopped and looked towards him.
The Suzaku Commander looked at each other with the other Suzaku Camp commanders and Suzaku Guards, and all of them had extremely firm eyes.
Then, they all spoke in unison.
The sound fills the sky.
"I am willing to follow the general and implement Suzaku's will!!!"
Everyone shouted with all their strength and looked firmly at the old general who led them to create countless miracles, General Suzaku.
General Suzaku's cloudy eyes flashed, and then he turned around. He didn't say much, only simple words.
"Mount your horse and fight!"
The Suzaku Guards here all have their horses.
They were the few cavalrymen in the Suzaku camp, and they were the only ones left, because the other Suzaku guards had no horses and no mobility, and they all died one after another in the chase.
All troops, mount up!
Not long after.
In front, Li Xiaogong led his troops to kill the last remaining Suzaku Guards and came to this riverside to confront General Suzaku's remaining 100 or so Suzaku Guards.
Following closely behind were more than a thousand mysterious armored cavalry.
Tonight.
Even the Black Armor Cavalry, which had various advantages, lost more than 1,000 people in the war with the Suzaku Camp.
This is because both sides are the best armies in the empire. Even if the troops are restrained, they are still the best and their defeat will not be ugly.
"General Suzaku, surrender."
Li Xiaogong spoke.
At this moment, Li Xiaogong did not have the joy of a winner, only endless melancholy.
once.
He and General Suzaku were friends, and the two sides sometimes made bets to see who could conquer more cities.
Very good friends, really good, very good.
But I didn't expect that tonight they would be fighting each other.
The words fell.
General Suzaku did not answer, but held the spear stained with the blood of the black armored cavalry and pointed it directly at the enemy.
"charge!"
The calm words came out, and the killing started again.
He and his remaining Suzaku Guards, without any hesitation, charged towards more than 1,000 black armored cavalry with more than 100 defeated men.
"charge!!"
Li Xiaogong didn't dare to be careless, after all, he was facing the ace army.
Both sides clashed with swords and guns.
One round down.
General Suzaku killed three black armor cavalry. As for how many of his soldiers killed, he didn't know. He only knew that there were only more than 20 Suzaku guards left around him.
"General Suzaku, surrender!"
Li Xiaogong spoke again.
I can’t bear it!
He really didn't want to see this old friend die here.
"charge!"
But the only answer he received was General Suzaku's firm and calm gaze.
"charge!!"
Li Xiaogong also followed closely and led the Xuanjia cavalry to rush forward.
This round comes down.
Dead, all dead.
Only General Suzaku was left.
He no longer has any soldiers.
"General Suzaku, surrender!!"
"Stop fighting, I can save your life!!"
Li Xiaogong was shouting hoarsely, and even his eyes were filled with tears.
General Suzaku is his friend and his confidant. He doesn't want General Suzaku to die, more than anyone else! !
As long as General Suzaku surrenders, he can keep him, he can definitely keep him! !
This is Li Xiaogong’s confidence.
However.
The only reply he received was General Suzaku's calm but firm words.
"charge!"
This time, he rushed towards more than a thousand black armor cavalry alone.
A dark mass of cavalry in front rushed towards him.
Just like when the King of Chu rescued Wei Chi Jingde, he rushed towards thousands of enemy troops alone.
It's just that the two sides are different.
This time, General Suzaku really only has himself.
now.
Looking at the black armored cavalry charging towards him, General Suzaku's eyes softened.
His memory.
It seemed like I was suddenly transported to many years ago.
"It's useless! It's useless! Why can't we save them all? Why! I obviously tried my best to save them!!"
A young Taoist priest beat the ground.
His eyes were filled with disappointment in himself.
He is a Taoist priest and also a doctor.
I originally ran a gym in a small place.
But in this war-torn era, the people are too easily injured, and they are too exhausted to run around. Who will come to learn Taoism?
then.
He put down Taoism and chose medical books.
Embark on a journey and do your best to use medical skills to save people.
He has saved many people over the years.
However, just yesterday, a civilian he rescued was stabbed to death by a soldier in front of his eyes.
The soldier looked like he was looking at garbage, looking at the people he had saved after half a month of careful care.
The soldier killed the civilian like a chicken without any regret.
At this moment, he collapsed and was at a loss.
He immediately recalled his experiences over the years. Many people were saved by him, but they all fell in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Medical skills save people? Really, did he save people?
Confused, extremely confused!
"Taoist Priest, hahaha, why don't you tell me why you are so unhappy?"
When the Taoist priest heard this, he looked at the King of Chu whom he thought was certain to die, but he got better without any warning yesterday.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine."
The Taoist priest did not want to pay attention to this prince. The King of Chu was still a child and would not understand. Moreover, even if the King of Chu became an adult, as the King of Chu, he would never experience the scene of the common people.
He is a prince, born into a noble family, above all others.
He won't understand, never.
The Taoist turned and left without hesitation.
However, King Chu's childish but optimistic voice sounded behind him.
"Can't you save people? Then I have a solution for you. Follow me and you will save people, many, many people!"
At this moment, the Taoist priest turned back.
The Taoist priest saw that King Chu said it with a smile. King Chu was actually laughing. He was just a child. Did he think this was funny?
The Taoist priest was so angry that he quickly stepped forward and grabbed King Chu's collar: "King Chu, you are actually laughing! What do you know as a child? You don't understand anything. Why do you laugh at me! Why!!!"
His eyes were red and he was angrier than anyone else.
For a moment, he wanted to kill the damn kid.
Generally, children who are caught and threatened like this will definitely be frightened and terrified.
However, King Chu remained calm and still had a smile on his face.
"I understand, Taoist Priest, you are a loser. You want to save people, but you always see the people you save fall in front of you. You can't save anything! You are a loser!"
loser…….
These three words were deeply engraved into the soul of the Taoist Priest.
yes!
Loser, he is a loser! !
At this moment, he collapsed.
He no longer grabbed King Chu, but stepped back mockingly, even falling to the ground.
He was confused, and he didn't know whether he should continue to persist.
At this moment, King Chu’s voice sounded again.
"Taoist Priest, you are a loser, and I am also a loser."
The Taoist priest looked up at him, his eyes full of confusion. He didn't know why a prince could call himself a loser.
King Chu still had that confident smile and turned around to look at the sky.
"This king was not born of my father's beloved concubine. Please note that he has no chance to take the throne! He is destined to be unable to do anything, because they will only support that prince! That prince was only born earlier than me!"
"In just a short period of time, the prince has everything without paying any price, has all the favors, and has countless people who support him in his promotion, and even think that this is what he should be."
"In just a short time, I have become a loser. No one will help me. Even if I am about to die of illness during this period, the general Tiance has not even looked at me. My mother and concubine have to take care of me. Came to find you."
"Why is this? Because in his eyes, this king is a dispensable bastard, the product of his impromptu decision overnight. Whether this king lives or dies has nothing to do with him!"
"You are a loser, and I am also a loser!"
"but!!!"
King Chu opened his arms and looked at the bright sky with burning eyes: "So what's the problem!!"
"I want to gather losers, a group of losers, losers in a state, or even losers in the world! Gather them together, unite them, and then let the whole world know! Losers can also change against the will of heaven. Life! Hahahahaha!!!!"
That day, the Taoist priest looked at the arrogant child and his back. For a moment, he wanted to follow this person.
Look where this man, this arrogant man, can go.
And in just that moment of thought, the Taoist master caught it and became that man's first follower.
later.
That man, King Chu.
The Taoist priest followed him all the time. He gave up the medical book, picked up the spear, continued to practice the spear, and continued to learn the art of war.
Because the man said something to him, if you want to save people, you only need to defeat all the enemies. Without enemies, there will be much less persecution.
The Taoist priest was convinced.
He watched that man grow up little by little, and also saw that man have a second follower, a third follower, a thousand followers...
That man, he did it.
He won over batch after batch of losers and gave them a choice, battle armor or farm tools.
Most people choose farm tools.
They are scared and disappointed in this troubled world, and just want to choose farming in exchange for a little peace.
That man, he didn't force them, even if he needed soldiers badly, he didn't force them.
He is always so confident and gentle, allowing everyone who joins him to choose farm tools or armor.
later.
No. 1001, 2000, 3000….
More and more people joined that man, and most of them chose farm tools.
And that man, no matter how powerful he was, was still tired, getting more and more tired.
even so.
He didn't force them, he still supported it on his own, and continued to win over more losers...
The man became more and more tired, and finally one day, he was so tired that he could no longer protect them.
His stalwart figure, like a giant, collapsed step by step, and finally one day he fell down uncontrollably. The dazzling sunlight finally defeated him and was about to completely illuminate the people under his protection.
Down, down….
It is becoming increasingly difficult to support oneself.
Even the man himself closed his eyes.
And right now.
One hand supported the huge figure that was about to fall. It was a person who took the initiative to put down his farm tools and pick up his armor. He was an ordinary person.
then.
Second hand, third hand….
Countless hands chose to put down their farm tools and pick up this huge, dilapidated figure again.
finally!
They succeeded, and the man responded enthusiastically to their expectations, creating a paradise that only belonged to the losers of this era.
More and more people are joining.
later.
The people who joined went bad.
No longer a follower, but a believer.
Fanatic believer!
The first believer appeared, with fiery eyes, and he joined that man's army, willing to be his soldier and accompany him to conquer the world.
Immediately afterwards,
The second, the third, the thousandth, the ten thousandth...
finally.
These losers finally found the meaning of living.
They want to fight with that man, conquer the world, and save more losers. They believe in that man so much that they never question it.
Even if they have to die, they will continue to die for that man.
That man is no longer a prince, he is faith, the faith of those losers and homeless poor people.
They believed in that man, followed that man, followed closely behind that man, and were willing to fight with him until death. Even if they died, they would say with blazing eyes, "Your Highness, I have not embarrassed you."
Many people fell down along the way, but the fanatical believers never looked at these. They only looked at the man who led them forward.
They held him in their hands, and as the number of people increased, they held him higher and higher, and held him higher and higher...
Many people still fell on the way, but more people joined in.
Finally, they, a group of losers, became a force that the world could not ignore. Even the enemies in the world would flee if they heard the man's name.
The Taoist Master saw all this.
He watched that man grow step by step, from a child to an adult, from an insignificant man to the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, from one person to the faith of countless people.
"What a long journey."
General Suzaku's eyes were soft.
Since the establishment of the Suzaku Camp, he has only implemented one consciousness for his soldiers.
Attack, attack, attack again….
Don't care about those who are injured and fallen on the way. As long as you defeat the enemy, they can all be rescued.
He had always adhered to such a will, and even this will became Suzaku's will, making him and his people an aggressive army in the hearts of everyone in the Tang Dynasty.
Some even say he is the god of death!
But who knew that his purpose of killing people was to save others.
And tonight.
It seemed like he could no longer attack.
"Chi chi chi......"
Countless black armored cavalry passed by him, causing him various injuries.
After a round, General Suzaku's hand was broken and his horse was split.
Only one breath left to hang on.
Consciousness becomes increasingly weak and blurred.
The next moment, the scene in front of him changed unpredictably.
There was a vast expanse of white around him. He no longer felt pain, his hands were back, and his body was back to the way it had been as a Taoist priest.
"Hahaha, Taoist Priest, would you like to follow me, Li Kuan, to see the world!"
Ahead, the child from back then appeared again.
Still so confident and arrogant.
This time.
General Suzaku, who knew his future outcome, still did not refuse, and even half-knelt down.
The Tang Dynasty did not like to kneel down, and the Chu Palace did not believe in kneeling, but he knelt down to express his gratitude to that man from the bottom of his heart, and to thank that man for all the losers in Chuhe Village.
"Pindao, I am willing."
The words are heavy with promises.
Behind him, another 3,000 Suzaku Guards appeared out of thin air, as well as some villagers from Chuhe Village, all of whom had died in the battle tonight.
Like General Suzaku, they all knelt down and were willing to fight with the child again. They even had one more thing than General Suzaku, their fanatical eyes.
This visit was exactly the same as when King Chu received them a month ago, and they were even half-kneeling at this moment.
Even if they had to do it all over again, even if they knew that the future would end badly, they would remain unswerving, without reservation or doubt, and were willing to follow the arrogant child at the front.
They always believed in that child so much. Even if the child led them to a dead end, they would not complain. They would only regret why they did not swing the sword one more time for that child and kill one more of the child's enemies.
General Zhuque and them all followed King Chu.
They all wanted to see again what Datang looked like in this man's eyes.
But this time, General Suzaku didn't want to question the man in all aspects, and he didn't want to make the child more tired by questioning whether the decision was right because of the child's age. He wanted to be unswerving and follow his orders without questioning. .
Continue to follow that man, save the world, save people.
