The armies of both sides faced off for a moment, with flags ringing and war drums rising slowly, then getting more and more urgent.
Although it was the first time for the fledgling Zhao Yang to participate in such a large-scale battle, he showed no fear at all.
The Zhao family has lived among the Di people in northern Shanxi for a long time, so they are naturally good at fighting.
On the other hand, Sun Wu has experienced hundreds of battles and appears calmer when facing this kind of scene.
The battle was approaching, and Yin Yu was watching from behind, feeling very nervous. After all, if this battle was lost, Luoyi would be in danger!
Sun Wu also knew that he could not lose in this battle, so he took the lead and rushed to the front.
Zhao Yang relied on his skill and boldness, and did not give in. The two looked at each other from a distance. Following the order, the sound of chariots and footsteps rumbled and splashed dust. The two sides were like two hurricanes, behind the chariots and infantry.
The archers between them fired arrows in unison, and the arrows blinded the sky and sun, like a heavy rain.
Chariots collide. Throughout the ages, who is not afraid of death? However, on the battlefield, there are many brave and skilled warriors. This is all determined by the environment.
On the battlefield, both sides have to attack each other. Only by killing the other side can they survive. Only victory is the most important thing on the battlefield.
The collision of the chariots made a deafening sound, but it sounded so insignificant on the battlefield.
The soldiers met at hand-to-hand combat, with spears, swords and halberds gleaming under the sunlight, full of murderous intent. Blood flowed into rivers for a while, and many injured people fell on the ground. In an instant, they were trampled by the troops from both sides until they were covered in a lake of flesh and blood.
.
Chu Dang was at the forefront with his fierce strength. He kept waving the three-armed halberd in his hand, protecting his whole body and killing the enemy at the same time.
Zhao Yang saw Chu Dang from a distance. He was like an evil god, and all the Jin soldiers were knocked down or repelled by him.
When Zhao Yang saw this, he couldn't help but praise:
"What a strong man!"
Zhao Yang jumped down from the chariot with a big sword in hand, jumped up, and went straight to Chu Dang. Chu Dang saw a figure coming towards him. The bulky San Ge Ji suddenly changed his moves midway. With a flip, the halberd had already been attacked.
Attacked Zhao Yang's front door.
Zhao Yang was in mid-air, his strength had grown old, and it was originally difficult to dodge. However, he shouted loudly, twisted his waist, and suddenly landed on the ground. He lay flat on the ground, put one hand on the ground, and pounced forward. The sword was already handed to him.
came out and slashed towards Chu Dan's ankle.
Chu Dang saw that Zhao Yang was coming with a fierce force, so he had no choice but to jump back. At the same time, the three-armed halberd turned around and killed several more enemy soldiers.
Zhao Yang blocked several incoming spears and tried to pursue Chu Dang again. With a clang, the big sword was blocked by another big sword. When he looked closely, it was Sun Wu.
Sun Wu and Zhao Yang faced each other and looked at each other. In this battle of thousands of people, the two of them seemed to be aloof from the action, eliminating all interference. Suddenly they moved in unison. With a loud sound, the swords crossed each other, and fire was scattered everywhere.
Sun Wu and Zhao Yang felt the pain from the tiger's mouth almost at the same time. Zhao Yang's moves opened and closed vertically and horizontally, moving smoothly. Sun Wu stopped with silence, and struck first, but Zhao Yang actually couldn't take advantage of it.
After several moves, Sun Wu suddenly changed his moves, each sword was more powerful than the other, and Zhao Yang was actually forced to retreat step by step.
Due to the influence of the Di people, Zhao Yang's martial arts were also extremely strong and powerful. He was also extremely confident in his own martial arts.
But now, he was beaten by Sun Wu and was a little confused. I was shocked, and at the same time, I admired Sun Wu even more.
"As expected of Sun Changqing, who is famous all over the world. They all say that this man is a master of commanding troops, that he is invincible in every battle, and that he is invincible in all attacks! I never thought that his martial arts skills would be so powerful!"
Sun Wu's martial arts skills were integrated with his military skills. He was both offensive and defensive. He used positive moves to defend and strange moves to attack. Zhao Yang couldn't figure out how to use his moves at all, so he became more and more timid and naturally...
Gradually falling behind.
Zhao Yang concentrated his mind, and the bronze sword made a sound in his hand, like an angry cat thirsting for food. Sun Wu only felt that Zhao Yang's sword attack suddenly became more fierce. After blocking, both of them felt a tightness in their chests.
, separated immediately.
Sun Wu only felt that the tiger's mouth was in severe pain. He looked secretly and found that he was bleeding from the shock. He couldn't help but be surprised. Zhao Yang was actually in the same situation as Sun Wu. There was also a blood mark at the tiger's mouth.
The two looked at each other again, and the surrounding enemy troops entangled them at the same time, so they could no longer fight and had to concentrate on dealing with the enemies around them.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties during the battle, but Sun Wu's troops were not as powerful as Zhao Yang's Jin army after all. Sun Wu wanted to withdraw his troops and start plotting again, but by this time it was too late.
In the melee, the situation was chaotic and they were deeply involved. If they chose to retreat at this moment, it would be tantamount to annihilation of the entire army.
Sun Wuqiang cheered up, knowing that the only way to have a chance of survival at this moment was to fight hard.
He saw that his armor and stomach were covered with blood and damage, and the bronze sword was also broken. But he also knew that he could not retreat even half a step, otherwise once his morale was gone, it would be impossible to reverse the situation.
However, the opponent's Zhao Yang also took the lead, with high morale and a numerical advantage. This battle can be said to be the most dangerous one since Sun Wu led the army.
Sun Wu managed to hold on, vaguely feeling that this battle was bound to be lost.
At this moment, a sound of ringing gold was suddenly heard!
Sun Wu looked back and thought it was the supervisor Yin Yu who did it.
Who would have thought that this sound of gold ringing came from Zhao Yang's formation on the opposite side!
Zhao Yang should have been the dominant side, but now he suddenly heard that Ming Jin was withdrawing his troops, so he withdrew in an orderly and undisturbed manner.
Seeing this, Sun Wu hurriedly stabilized his position and watched Zhao Yang's army gradually withdraw.
Sun Wu originally thought that he was going to receive a huge defeat and might even die in the battle, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yang chose to withdraw his troops.
This could not help but surprise Sun Wu. After seeing Zhao Yang's army withdrawing outside the valley, he pulled Chu Dang, who was about to charge forward, and retreated to the other end of Shi Valley.
Sun Wu couldn't understand it, and in the Jin army camp, Xun Shu was even more puzzled by it.
"Father! The battle was going so well just now! Why did you choose to withdraw your troops when you had all the advantages?"
Zhao Yang looked to the other side of the valley.
"The enemy is powerful. If we fight head-on, we will suffer heavy casualties. We need to withdraw our troops temporarily and seize the opportunity before it is too late!"
Xun Shu felt very sorry.
"The defeat of the thieves has been revealed, and victory is already certain, so why bother? After passing Shigu, we can take Gongyi directly, and by then Luoyi will be within easy reach. By then, we will escort the emperor back to Chengzhou
, isn’t it a great achievement for us? Why bother so much?”
"Martingale has his own plans, no need to say more!"
Zhao Yang replied coldly and went back to the camp to rest. Seeing this situation, Xun Shu couldn't say much.
Zhao Yang was in the camp, dazed, and then sighed.
"Sun Changqing... It would be a pity if this person dies here in vain. I will let you go today. I hope you will behave yourself. When we meet on the battlefield next time, we will be enemies of life and death!"
Sun Wu actually guessed Zhao Yang's intention. However, Li Ran was in Luoyi now, and his life and death depended only on Wang Zichao's thoughts. He did not dare to take this risk, so he was extremely conflicted deep in his heart.
Yin Yu also saw Sun Wu's bravery today. Now that he "defeated" the Jin army, he couldn't help but smile:
"General Sun is indeed invincible in the world. This great victory can be said to have solved our crisis in Luoyi?"
When Sun Wu heard this, he knew that the supervisor had not understood the current situation at all, but he had no intention of explaining the strangeness to him. He just couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Master Yin, Wu just hopes that your husband will be safe and sound! Don't dare to think about anything else!"
——
Chapter 483_The letter and book hide the universe
Yin Yu smiled.
"General Sun, don't worry. Mr. Ziming is safe in Luoyi now! In fact, how can the king not accept Mr. Ziming's favor? As long as the king is fine, Mr. Ziming will naturally be fine too."
Yin Yu's words actually have something to do with Sun Wu. That is, as long as you concentrate on guarding Luoyi, then Li Ran will be fine. However, if you have any negligence or hesitation, once Luoyi is let
If he is in danger, Li Ran's life will not be saved.
When Sun Wu heard this, he was furious. But he did not get angry. It seemed that this was the only thing he could do now.
Yin Yu returned to the camp to report the victory, and Sun Wu ordered his people to continue rectifying military affairs, and then returned to his tent with Chu Dang.
As soon as Chu Dang entered the tent, he couldn't help but ask:
"It's so strange. Who is that person across from you today? So brave!"
"His name is Zhao Yang and Zhao Zhifu, and he is the sect leader of the Zhao family in the Jin Dynasty. Although this person lacks strategy, he is brave enough to conquer the world. It is really unfortunate that he is an enemy of this person!"
"Zhao Yang... no matter who he is, as long as he is not good for you, he is our enemy!"
When Sun Wu heard this, he smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Wang Zichao received good news from Yin Yu and was overjoyed to learn that Sun Wu defeated Zhao Yang in Shigu.
"Sun Wu and Sun Changqing are really useful talents! As soon as he came out, he won a great victory and blocked Zhao Yang from Shigu. It was very good! With him here, I, Luoyi, have nothing to worry about!"
At this time, Gan Loach said lightly:
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, this is your Majesty's great blessing to heaven!"
"That's right. Since Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, your life is tied to Heaven. How can it be influenced by others?"
Nangong Luo also echoed.
Although they didn't mention Sun Wu at all in what they said, they all meant something.
One or two sentences of such words that reach destiny may not be enough to scare you, but once you hear them too many times, the person involved will inevitably become ecstatic and start to believe them firmly.
The contributions of Li Ran and Sun Wu were also described in a few words by these people as if they were insignificant and invisible.
Denials seem to be loyal, evil words seem to be true, and I don’t know how many monarchs have been ruined by this!
However, Wang Zichao knew very well that he could ignore Li Ran now, but he could not ignore Sun Wu who was fighting a bloody battle.
Therefore, he immediately issued an order to greatly reward the soldiers in front. He also asked Yin Buyi to go to the place where Li Ran was imprisoned and write a few words to appease Sun Wu.
So, Yin Buyei was ordered to look for Li Ran again, but Guan Cong was nowhere to be seen, which made him a little suspicious.
When Fan Li escaped, they didn't pay attention at first. They realized it later, but it was too late.
Therefore, after that, the guarding of Li Ran's official residence became even tighter. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for him to escape.
"Huh? Where is the attendant next to sir?"
"Maybe he is going out, maybe he is lying down somewhere to sleep. You have surrounded this place so that the wind and rain can't penetrate it. Where can he go? Master Yin, you came here today, are you here to visit him?
?”
Hearing this, Yin Buxie smiled slightly:
"Of course not. Today I am here to report the good news. General Sun won a great victory in Shigu and defeated the Jin army. The emperor is very happy and wants to reward General Sun. At the same time, I also hope that you can give General Sun some words to reassure him!"
Li Ran thought about it for a moment, then said calmly:
"Oh, what's so difficult about this? Bring me the slips and pen!"
Yin Buyi clapped his hands, and a soldier immediately sent a treasure. As soon as Li Rang picked up the pen, Yin Buyi reminded him:
"Sir, you just need to report that you are safe. Don't add more words. It will be bad if you shake the morale of the army."
Li Ran also smiled slightly and wrote on the slip:
"I am very pleased to hear that I have won a victory today. Now I have a fish and a chicken every day, and a wine to accompany me. I am doing good deeds now, and I have no worries. Don't worry, sir. I hope to meet you again soon. Li Ziming writes!
"
Yin Buyi took the letter and looked at it for a long time, but found no clues. He couldn't help but smile and put the letter away.
"It's great that you, sir, can be so cooperative! If you don't want to be a sycophant, I won't bother you anymore! Farewell!"
After bidding farewell to Li Ran, Yin Buyi hurried back to resume his duties. Wang Zichao also read the letter written by Li Ran and thought there was no problem, so he sent it to the front line together with the reward.
…
When Sun Wu got Li Ran's letter and saw that it was indeed Li Ran's handwriting, he felt relieved.
However, at a glance, I found that there are two places in the writing that are very awkward, one is "one fish and one chicken", and the other is "follow the good as the flow".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This "one fish and one chicken" actually seems very eye-catching when placed here. After all, according to Li Ran's status and treatment, it is impossible for these two things to appear at the same time.
Logically speaking, a small piece of meat every day was the highest treatment for a guest at that time, and Sun Wu knew very well that Li Ran had a "diet" habit.
Therefore, the way it is written here seems a bit exaggerated.
And this "following what is good is like flowing" is even more thought-provoking.
Sun Wu took another closer look, only to find that there were two typos. One was that the four strokes below the "fish" in "一鱼一鸡" were replaced by three strokes, and the other was the word "流" which means "Congshan Ruliu". The word "水" on the left
The word next to it is actually broken off in the middle.
Sun Wu frowned. He knew that Li Ran had only five cars and a lot of wealth, so he would definitely not make such a mistake. If so, there must be some hint in it.
The "灁" under the fish originally meant fire, but now it is missing a little, or does it mean that the fire will subside?
Sun Wu was startled.
Looking at the word "liu" again, the so-called "following the good is like flowing", Sun Wu couldn't help but think of what Li Ran had always said to him: "Look at the past and reflect on yourself, choose the good and follow it."
Moreover, in terms of the literal meaning of "Cong Shan Ru Liu", "Cong Shan" can be interpreted as "Observe that it is good to follow others". And "Ru" can take the meaning of "arrived" in the word "Ru".
What's more, the original meaning of the word "liu" is that a person falls into the water and flows down the river. Cutting off the "water" in "liu" makes it even more smooth.
Sun Wu thought about it carefully and felt that Guan Cong was very good at escaping.
And didn't Li Ran mean to imply that he would successfully escape from Luoyi with Guan Cong's help?
Or even hinting that he will escape by water?
When Sun Wu saw this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Chang Qing, what are you looking at?"
Chu Tang's voice suddenly came from behind. Sun Wu didn't want Chu Tang to know about this, so he just said:
"The gentleman left a message saying that he is safe for the time being and allows us to continue to serve His Majesty with peace of mind!"
Chu Dang waved his hand.
"Nothing needs to be said, Lord, we certainly don't dare to slack off!"
Sun Wu raised his hands to Yin Buyi who came to reward him and said:
"Master Yin, please reply to the king. Wu Zi should do his best to kill the enemy invaders and protect Luoyi without losing it!"
Yin Buyi smiled and said:
"General Sun, please rest assured that everything is fine with Mr. Ziming in Luoyi. Just focus on your achievements outside!"
"promise!"
This reward did not grant Sun Wu an official title, but only gave him some money.
His intention is also very obvious. In the final analysis, I still don't trust him.
Sun Wu was well aware of this, but he didn't take it seriously. He returned to the camp and read the letter Li Ran gave him again. The more he read, the more convinced he was of his own thoughts.
"Guan Cong has always been good at absconding. It seems that he does have a way to take Mr. Luoyi away! However, I can't act rashly during this period. I have to wait until the news is confirmed before I can leave!"
After Sun Wu made up his mind, while paying attention to the situation in Luoyi, he also continued to confront the Jin army in the hope of delaying it for as long as possible.
Later, Sun Wu knew that Zhao Yang was brave but not resourceful, so he set up a suspicious array and held him directly, so that he did not dare to attack again.
Although Zhao Yang was a young hero and was more than fierce, he still lacked strategy.
In this regard, he is obviously slightly inferior to Sun Wu.
However, although Sun Wu had to delay for a while, he also knew that the Jin State had a large number of troops and was powerful. If it insisted on fighting, it would still be difficult to resist.
After all, Sun Wu was helpless in the face of absolute strength.
What's more, none of the soldiers under his command were trained by him personally. The troops he had trained by himself had already been sent back to Zheng by the princes.
The soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. These are the greatest taboos for military strategists. They can be said to be the dilemmas that Sun Wu is facing today.
In the past, he still had the Tiger Talisman and the prince's sword for control, but now he has nothing. As a result, the combat power of his tribe is naturally not as good as before. Sun Wu has long been tired of this situation.
Although these small victories in a row have little impact on the battle situation, for Yin Yu who is eager to take credit, every victory will be publicized by him, as if he is about to drive Zhao Yang back.
The state of Jin is in general.
That night, Sun Wu had just laid down when he heard movement outside the camp. He immediately touched the hilt of his sword quietly, and not long after, he saw a man in black coming in with his head peeping out.
Sun Wu remained calm. After the man in black came in, as soon as he reached the couch, Sun Wu suddenly got angry. Zeng pulled out his sword and stabbed the man in the throat. The man in black reacted quickly and rolled on the spot.
, dodging Sun Wu's fatal blow, Sun Wu's sword moved out like a spiritual snake, the cold light from the sword tip was approaching, and the man in black hurriedly said in a deep voice:
"Brother Changqing! It's me!"
Sun Wu was startled and stopped what he was doing. It turned out that the voice was Fan Li!
