Chapter 883 Save people in danger, I have me today, and Xiao Tang in the future
When the soldier's throat was slashed and his body fell heavily to the ground, Liu Fa saw Wu Song behind him holding two swords.
After a brutal fight, Wu Song's armor was broken into pieces and his robes were in tatters. He simply took off all the broken armor and clothes and left his shirt bare, suddenly revealing several criss-crossing new wounds.
The flesh and blood turned white, and Wu Song had to hastily bandage the two most serious wounds on his body with rags. Just a glance at the bloody scars on his body was shocking.
But even though he was seriously injured, and the cold wind was whistling in the mountains and forests and blowing on his half-naked body, Wu Songwu looked like a dragon and a tiger. After the fierce fight, he struggled to find a way to sneak down the hill, with violent movements.
It also made Wu Song's body as if made of steel evaporate in the cold weather, making this brave man even more majestic and heroic!
When Wu Song saw Liu Fa on the ground, he immediately put away his swords and rushed forward, saying: "It's so pitiful that Liu Jinglue was killed by a Xia thief before he was taught!"
Liu Fa survived, and immediately stretched out his left hand to let Wu Song support him, and asked: "So Erlang also broke out of the siege, how did you find this place?"
Wu Song hurriedly replied to Liu Fa: "Since I was scattered by the enemy army just now, I have not fought hard to clear a bloody path. I heard the Xia army shouting for advice and fell down the hill. Before I was about to see the high mountains and no way to find it, I risked my life to kill him."
After going north, we found Chuyukou and then went down the hill. We searched for more than an hour, during which we killed one or two teams of Xia thieves patrolling the mountain. Fortunately, the thieves did not kill Liu Jinglue when we found this place, otherwise the soldiers under his command would have died.
My brothers all died in the battle, and Liu Jing’s strategy was so comprehensive that I, Wu Song, deserved the most blame!”
"This battle was a disastrous defeat, but it was also because of me... Erlang fought to the death and fought bravely, so what guilt does Erlang have?"
Liu Fa sighed sadly and asked again: "Does Erlang know the whereabouts of brothers from other tribes?"
Wu Song's expression dimmed and he said: "The Xia thief Tie Yao is so powerful that the troops led by several other generals were also scattered by it. Several armies and horses were trapped. I don't know where they were trapped. Generals Zhai Jin, Zhai Xing, and Zhu Dingguo seemed to have gathered together.
The remaining troops were knocked out, but they were outnumbered by the Xia thieves, so they had no choice but to retreat. Although there was only one person, it was convenient to hide the sound. If there were many Xia thieves looking for the mountain, they would have to hide in the forest for the time being.
There were only five or seven soldiers in a group, so they attacked and killed them all one by one, and then they found Liu Jinglue."
At this time, the shouts of the Xia army soldiers who were searching the mountains became louder and louder, and they seemed to be getting closer and closer to where Liu Fa and Wu Song were. It seemed that the strange noise just now alerted the Xia army around them, and right now
Come as a team to find out!
Wu Song heard the noise around him and quickly said to Liu Fa: "Liu Jinglue, we can't stay here any longer. I will carry Xie on my back and protect Jinglue and fight his way out of the siege!"
Liu Fa looked sad, but he considered that there were Xia troops and horses in all directions, and this was the border of Xia Kingdom, but Wu Song was alone. Even if he was very skilled in martial arts, how could he fight with his hands and feet tied on his back?
Thousands of Xia troops fighting?
What's more, even if he could escape back, since Tong Guan decided to force him to risk sending troops, the prime minister must have already thought about how to conceal the truth of the defeat. Whether he would die or not, he would be responsible for the defeat.
After returning to the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that he will be framed by Tong Guan. If he does not die in the hands of the enemy, will he still be subjected to the humiliating plot of a powerful traitor when he returns?
Thinking of this, Liu Fa let out a long sigh and said: "Now that I have broken my legs and am unable to move, it is really difficult to leave. What's more, soldiers fighting on the battlefield should treat death as if they are home...Erlang, you go out alone."
Come on, don't make two mistakes, or you will lose your life because of me."
When Wu Song heard this, he was immediately worried. He said sternly: "Liu Jinglue is a general of the country. Before he is a general, he is just a pawn who obeys orders in front of the general's tent. Today I risk my life to save Liu Jinglue. It is also a matter of national importance. Even if I lose my life, it is better to be afraid."
Escape to death! It is disloyal for a subordinate to abandon his commander and run for his life, not to mention not entrusting him with the blessings of the commander and being promoted and important by the state. It is a sacrifice to be a benevolent person and repaying the commander is not much. Therefore, if I do not repay the favor of the official
To divide is unjust! No matter how incompetent I, Wu Song, am, I still don’t want to be an unfaithful and unjust pig or dog! Even if the Xia thieves are so powerful that they will not be able to defeat the enemy before they are ready, the worst that happens is that Liu Jinglue and I are both ghosts under the spring.
, I won’t be lonely on the road to Huangquan either!”
After listening to Wu Song's angry words, Liu Fa, who looked sad, finally showed a smile of relief on his face, and said: "Erlang is indeed a strong and loyal man. I have never misjudged you... But Erlang
Can you understand that if I, Liu Fa, die here, maybe I can have a good death..."
Wu Song was startled when he heard this and asked, "What does Liu Jinglue mean by this?"
Liu Fa smiled miserably and said: "You also know that it was Tong Guanwei who forced me to send troops. Our army suffered such a disastrous defeat, and someone must bear the responsibility for the loss of the defeated army. Tong Guan took advantage of the situation to exercise power, but he was not an incompetent soldier.
, since he knew that there was little chance of winning this battle, why did he still force me to send troops? Because if the military strategy to conquer Shuo Fang succeeds, he will be the first to succeed. If the launch is unfavorable or even ends in a disastrous defeat... he can also attack Shuo Fang.
The imperial court lied to me because I violated its restraints, resisted military orders and sent out troops without authorization, which resulted in the death of our soldiers in vain due to exhaustion..."
Wu Song's thick eyebrows suddenly stood up when he heard this. He was about to scold the powerful traitors in the court for really being able to deceive the officials like a deer and a horse, but then he thought again, is this strange?
Apart from Gao Qiu, who has been fighting openly and secretly with the Xiao and Tang brothers over the years, has he ever acted with justice when he harmed others? Cai Jing was greedy for his own use, and framed a large number of officials who disagreed with his political views when he changed the salt banknote method to mint ten coins; Liang Shicheng betrayed
The government officials in Luzhou did not dare to resist the courtesy of being an official and supervising the department; as well as the evil deeds of Yang Jian, Wang Fu, Li Yan, Zhu Meng and others, Wu Song had more or less experienced it.
In such a chaotic world where people are arrogant and sages are humble, Tong Guan wants to take over the power of the Western Army but regards Liu Fa as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. He takes advantage of the war between Song and Xia to use public weapons for private purposes to get rid of this henchman.
How could he not use such vicious and cruel methods?
At this time, Wu Song heard Liu Fa sigh again: "If I die in this battle, it will be regarded as a disaster for the country. Naturally, Tong Guan will not regard a dead person as a disaster, but if I escape by chance, that fellow will
You should also be afraid of me confronting him, even if the officials favor him more, but in the end it will still ruin his reputation and prestige in the military.
There are also many generals in the Western Army such as Lao Zhong Xianggong, Xiao Zhong Xianggong, Miao Lu, Kang Jiong, Zhai Xing, Zhai Jin, Zhu Dingguo and many other generals who have deep feelings for me.
Mr. Zhong and others came forward to plead with the officials. Sooner or later, they would join me as an official in the army. Killing people requires blood. Since Tong Guan has taken action, how can he tolerate me, a person who has a deep grudge with him?
Continue to destroy his good deeds in the Western Army? When a tiger dies, he leaves his skin, and when a man dies, he leaves his name. I, Liu Fa, died here because I died for the country. But if I was persecuted and framed by traitors, and died in humiliation and hatred, how could I?
Teach me to die in peace?"
Wu Song's face was gloomy. After listening to Liu Fa's sigh, he suddenly thought: Among the green forest heroes who gathered with the Xiao and Tang brothers, there were many like Leopard Head Lin Chong who were framed by the old thief Gao Qiu and threatened their lives, but he acted righteously.
, all of them were saved. And Liu Jinglue was one of the few famous military generals in our dynasty, and Brother Xiao Tang also fell in love with Liu Jinglue. If he was framed by Tong Guan, the eunuch, how could Brother Xiao Tang stand by and watch? It was Liu Jinglue.
When he returned to the Song Dynasty, he was not necessarily desperate and had no choice but to become a bandit. He was a famous general of his generation, and he was unwilling to slander his innocent reputation and become a strongman. However, he obeyed power in a hurry. Brothers Xiao and Tang had saved many heroes.
Let him think of countermeasures with his confidants who can make good decisions and have calculations in their hearts, but heroes like Liu Jinglue will not die in vain...
After Wu Song thought in his mind, he raised his head again and said flatly to Liu Fa: "Liu Jinglue, no matter what you say, today I, Wu Er, will live and die with you! It's not too late to worry about the funeral in the future, and it's not too late today.
If you risk your life just to get out, someone will naturally come to take care of you in the future, and you won't let Xie suffer humiliation!"
