After the eight characters "The sky is clear, the sky is clear" under the book,
Yue Fei's body was already exhausted, and the four big words "Serve the Country with Loyalty" on his back were blurred by whipping.
He resented his incompetence, his inability to regain the old capital, and his inability to restore peace to the innocent people.
He was unwilling to be framed by a treacherous villain, and in the end he could only die in this prison in vain.
In a daze, I remembered the scene at Wuhou Temple four years ago.
"Being close to virtuous ministers and staying away from villains is why the early Han Dynasty prospered; being close to villains and being distant from virtuous ministers is why the later Han Dynasty declined..."
"Everything is like this, and it can never be reversed. I worked hard and died..."
There were chanting sounds in his ears, and Yue Fei murmured in an inaudible voice,
"I will do my best until I die... I will do my best until I die... Mr. Wu Houye, why did Yue Fei never want to do his best and die..."
He closed his eyes with endless regrets, and the sound of Chu Shibiao's chanting gradually faded away, and a rough voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"General! The Wei army has cut off our water source! General!"
When he opened his eyes again, a general wearing sleeved armor came into view.
Yue Fei looked at the burly man in front of him calmly, and quickly ran through the current situation in his mind.
A moment ago, he was still behind bars, but in the blink of an eye, the surrounding environment turned into this Chinese army camp.
Seeing that the other party's clothes did not resemble those of a sergeant of the Song Dynasty, but more like those of a Shu Han general nine hundred years ago, I felt suspicious.
"Who will lead the Wei army?" As soon as the voice came out, Yue Fei was stunned.
This voice sounded cold and gentle, which was completely different from his rough voice that came from fighting on the battlefield all the time.
"General, what's wrong with you? That old man Zhang He is leading the army!"
"The old man built a camp at the foot of the mountain. He just set up camp and did not attack. The most troublesome thing is that they cut off our water source. What should the general do?" The burly man's face full of stubble turned red. Pork liver color.
Zhang He? Wei Jun?
Could it be... ...!!
"You go down first, I need some time to think about countermeasures." Yue Fei ordered with a calm expression.
The big man opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but for some reason, the man in front of him suddenly felt a sense of oppression that people couldn't ignore, making people dare not go against his words easily.
In the end, the big man could only sigh, shook his head helplessly and walked out of the tent.
"Li Sheng, how's it going? What did he say?" Another man wearing a general's uniform outside the door saw the big man coming out and anxiously greeted him.
"Alas!" Li Sheng shook his head dejectedly and sighed deeply.
"The Wei army has cut off our water supply, but he can still sit in the tent! No, I'll go find him and ask him again!" The other party said and was about to break into the camp.
"General Zhang, don't get excited, General Zhang. Let's give him some time. If he still can't think of a way tomorrow, I'll go find him with you." Li Sheng quickly stopped the big man who was about to rush in. At this time, Never conflict with the general easily, otherwise the morale of the army will be unstable.
"Damn it, the Prime Minister shouldn't have..." The big man was stopped by Li Sheng and shouted in the direction of the camp. Unexpectedly, he was stopped mid-sentence.
"General Zhang! Be careful what you say! Be careful what you say..."
Yue Fei heard the sounds outside the door gradually fading away, pulled his mind back, and looked at the bamboo slips and papers on the desk.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly put down the book in his hand and let out a long breath.
Is this Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, or is it God who couldn't bear to see me die unjustly and gave me another way to live?
But why did he become Ma Su?
Was it Lord Wu who inspired me to come here?
In order to achieve the goal of the Northern Expedition?
My heart goes back and forth a thousand times, the past is choked in my throat like a sharp knife, and the road to the future is so foggy that I can't find the direction...
The next day, Zhang Xiu and Li Sheng came outside the tent early in the morning.
"Li Sheng, don't stop me. How could he still be sitting in the tent now! What did the Prime Minister tell him back then..."
Zhang Xiu spoke loudly, as if he wanted to be heard by the people in the tent. The soldiers guarding outside the tent looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"Come in." An elegant voice came from inside the tent.
Zhang Xiu and Li Sheng looked at each other and entered the tent together.
"Why is there so much noise in the military camp!" Yue Fei, or rather Ma Di now, was sitting in the tent, giving people a feeling of calmness and authority.
"General, the Wei army has cut off our army's water supply for more than a day. Now the people in the army are panicked. We are afraid that if this continues, the morale of the army will be chaotic..." Zhang Xiu's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible. .
At this time, Zhang Xiu was wondering in his heart: Damn it, how could this Ma Junjun suddenly become a different person in just one night? After being stared at by him, I forgot most of the words I had thought of before.
Then I thought again: Damn it, why am I guilty! This Ma Youchang did not listen to the Prime Minister's orders and made the decision without authorization. Now that the incident has come to light, he is still pretending to be here. However, this guy's aura today is indeed different from usual, with a vague aura of chilling. Only people who have been on the battlefield all year round can have this kind of aura.
So damn weird!
Zhang Xiu shook his head to stop his random thoughts and poked Li Sheng next to him.
Li Sheng raised his eyes and looked at Ma Su, who was sitting majestically in the upper position. He gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and stepped forward and said: "Join the army, we really can't wait any longer! Please make a decision as soon as possible!"
He had followed Ma Su since he was the governor of Yuexi, and his friendship with him was naturally closer than that of Zhang Xiu who followed him.
In this incident, all three of them could not escape death. At this time, he and Zhang Xiu just hoped to remedy the situation so that their families would not be implicated.
"Now at the foot of the mountain, how many troops does Zhang He have?"
Hearing this, Li Sheng raised his head and looked at the person in charge. Yesterday, he felt that Ma Canjun seemed to be a different person. At this time, Ma Canjun's expression remained unchanged, his expression was calm, and there was no trace of panic. Because of his calmness, he also calmed down the panicked Li Sheng and Zhang Xiu.
"The spies who went to investigate yesterday reported that the Wei army at the foot of the mountain was marching in a hurry, about five thousand." Li Sheng nodded and replied.
Yue Fei clicked his fingers on the table twice and thought to himself: It's just as I thought. The history books say that "Naibu led 50,000 troops on foot and horse to resist the attack." However, according to his calculations, the number of troops that Zhang He could take away was definitely not 50,000. , coupled with the speed of the troops, he set out from Luoyang and marched more than 700 kilometers. Now these at the foot of the mountain must be only the elite cavalry who went ahead, presumably less than five thousand.
The Shu army has nearly nine thousand infantry fighting against five thousand cavalry. If they are on flat ground, their chances of winning are naturally very low. But now they are in the mountains. If they can be led into fighting in the mountains, the advantage of the infantry will be brought into play. Coupled with the numerical advantage, this battle may not be lost.
However, the most important thing now is how to lead them up the mountain. The Wei army is now cutting off the water source and setting up camp at the foot of the mountain. It is obvious that they want to recuperate while killing the Shu army. Zhang He is not an ordinary person and will definitely continue his current strategy and wait until the Shu army loses its morale and begins to break out down the mountain before launching an encirclement and suppression campaign.
This is how the street pavilions recorded in history were lost...
"Zhang Xiu, Li Sheng! Will you two go with me to kill Zhang He?"
