Set up camp at night.
Xu Mu walked into Su Chen's tent carrying two jars of wine. Behind him, Si Hu followed with a happy face and a pack of roasted meat in his arms.
"King of Shu!" Su Chen stood up in shock and hurriedly made a military salute.
"Brother Su, there is no need for this." Xu Mu stopped Su Chen and pointed to the wine jar, "Brother Su is injured, can he drink?"
Hearing this, Su Chen raised his head and laughed.
"You are a bastard and a bastard. I, Su Chen, am not a delicate nobleman. Of course I have wine to drink."
Most of the heroes who grew up in blood and knives are informal.
"Okay, I admire Brother Su's bravery!"
Xu Mu smiled and opened two jars of wine. Someone who can cut off flesh and hide the message, then go all the way south, is not a weakling. Furthermore, bento is a way to catch the wind and wash away the dust.
"Si Hu, put up the roasted meat."
"D-Pile driver?" At this moment, Su Chen, who was grabbing the wine jar, suddenly opened his mouth.
Xu Mu was startled. What a good guy, has this name of "Piling Tiger" spread to the grassland?
Si Hu was also startled, but only for a moment, and his face quickly turned red.
"What's wrong? You're talking nonsense. Could it be that Sun Xun's dog ran away to the grassland? Brother Mu said that piling likes his wife. I like my wife. Driving, piling is a good thing!"
"I only heard that there is a man named Si Hu in Xishu, who drives the stakes very hard."
"Which one? Which one chews my Sihu's tongue!" Sihu stood up, holding his neck, and went to touch the axe.
"It was Mr. Yin...he mentioned it occasionally when I was drinking with him one day."
"Brother Mu, let's go to Dingzhou immediately. I want to challenge this old knight to a duel!" Si Hu's voice clearly had a broken accent.
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead, "Si Hu, it's okay. Sit down first. Mr. Yin is complimenting you. The stakes were driven so hard that you gave birth to more babies. I envy you, and so does Brother Su Chen."
Su Chen, who was beside him, vaguely understood something and immediately said, "It is indeed, it is indeed."
After hearing the compliment, Si Hu laughed innocently and sat down again.
"In terms of age, I am only sixteen this year. I pour wine for my two brothers."
Su Chen twitched his mouth and glanced at Xu Mu who was winking. He didn't dare to say anything for a while. He only chose good words and kept praising Si Hu.
After two bowls of wine, Xu Mu returned to the topic.
"By the way, Brother Su, I have always wanted to know... the war at Yongguan back then."
After hearing this, Su Chen looked silent, raised his head and drank a bowl of wine before speaking slowly.
"Logically speaking, under the leadership of General Li, Yongguan can be defended. However, the people of the Eighth Battalion of Dingbian cut off the transportation of food and grass and lied about the arrival of reinforcements, which disrupted General Li's overall plan... and fought to the back. , after defending for several months, we ran out of food and grass, so we...we first killed the horses to satisfy our hunger, and later, we took off the animal skin robes of Di Gou who died in the battle, cut them and cooked them."
"Later I found out that as soon as Di Gou arrived, the Dingbian Eighth Battalion, which was in charge of supporting the horns, had already fled back to Wangzhou, leaving only me waiting for the 6,000 lone troops to fight the 300,000 Di Gou in a bloody battle."
"But King Shu, don't worry. None of us will surrender. We will starve until the end. Hundreds of seriously injured brothers throw in the pot, allowing us to cook and fill our stomachs before fighting bravely. But General Li would rather starve to death than save his people." Come out."
"After Yongguan was broken, the last thousand brothers were killed in the battle. We protected General Li, who was seriously injured, and hid in the mountain of corpses. When it got dark, we sneaked into the grassland. After General Li woke up, he asked me to wait They all had disfigured faces and were dormant in the grassland. At that time, I asked General Li, what’s the point of staying in the grassland to respond internally if the country’s military and political affairs are so weak, we will die of old age in twenty or thirty years at most?”
"I remember very clearly. General Li's face was very serious at that time. He told me that the Central Plains would rise, and eventually there would be a famous general who would lead troops into the Central Plains, expel the Di people, and restore our mountains and rivers."
"As General Li said, the King of Shu used three thousand horses to strengthen the mountains and rivers of our Central Plains and invaded the grassland in one fell swoop!" Su Chen raised his head, his face full of admiration.
Xu Mu shook his head, "I'm ashamed of myself. Xu Mu failed to expel Di Gou at that time."
"The King of Shu has done something that no one in the world can do, so there is no need to belittle oneself." Su Chen raised the wine bowl, "Here, Su Chen, on behalf of the six thousand Yongguan loyalists, pays tribute to the King of Shu!"
"Okay." Xu Mu picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"In the grassland, Li would often mention his appreciation for the King of Shu."
"Brother Su, if I said that I have never met General Li, would you believe it?" Xu Mu smiled bitterly.
I only hear his name, but don't see his person. Seriously speaking, whether he refused Beidi or entered the grassland, he had never seen Li Poshan. It was nothing more than an exchange of letters, with the mute shepherd woman delivering the letters.
Of course, there may be a distant view, but to Xu Mu, if the world-famous general is not standing in front of him and chatting happily, it is not considered a meeting.
"King of Shu, there will be a chance." Su Chen comforted, "By the way, King of Shu, do you have a letter to send to General Li?"
"It will take a while." Xu Mu said. He needed to investigate the specific matters and then write back to Li Poshan to explain.
"That's just right." Su Chen nodded, "General Li said that if the King of Shu does not believe the message for the time being, I will serve as a soldier of Western Shu and listen to the King of Shu's orders. When the King of Shu wants to send the message, I will return to the grassland."
"Brother Su, you are still injured."
Su Chen laughed, "A hero who licks blood from the edge of a knife. To me, the wound of hiding the letter is like a bite from an ant. It is insignificant."
Xu Mu clenched his fist in admiration.
"If so, I'll trouble Brother Su."
"There is no need to be polite, King of Shu. It is the bounden duty of soldiers to take orders. Captain of the Eighth Post of the Yongzhou Camp in Beiguan, Su Chen is willing to accompany the King of Shu."
"Okay!" Xu Mu was moved. In the nearly ten years since he came here, his first understanding of Zhongyong was what the old scholar often said, "Six thousand bones under the clanking city." Now, one of them, Su Chen, sat in front of him.
"By the way, King Shu, how is Father Li?"
Father Li is an old scholar.
"Brother Su, don't worry. The father of Zhongyuan Zhongyong is my father, Xu Mu. I have always treated him with fatherly courtesy."
"The king of Shu is righteous."
"It is my duty, Xu Mu, to be loyal and brave in guarding the country's territory——"
Before Xu Mu finished speaking, Si Hu, who was grabbing meat next to him, suddenly spoke.
"Brother Mu, isn't this wrong?"
"Eat your own food...what's your business?" Xu Mu turned around helplessly.
"Brother Mu, and Brother Su, let me ask, if there are 6,000 loyal and brave soldiers in Yongguan, doesn't that mean that my brother Mu has 6,000 fathers?"
Xu Mu cursed in his heart and turned around. What a damn good scene this is, it all makes you so stupid and exposed at once.
No, it should be broken.
Su Chen next to him coughed up a sip of wine and hurriedly covered up the embarrassment on his face.
"Brother Sihu, come and drink, and King Shu, let's drink together!"
