Chapter 8 Chapter Eight Rescue

Jiangling City was in chaos, and the people in the city were awakened early, and there was a lot of noise. Seeing the enemy's strength, Xiao Sigui immediately summoned the Chen soldiers in the city to guard the gates of the city, but he himself grabbed Chunyu and said, "General Chunyu, the wall is dangerous, general, please take shelter under the city." Chunyuliang saw that although he was nervous, but not flustered, he secretly praised him and said slowly, "How many defenders are there in the city?" "Less than 5,000 people." Xiao Sigui felt ashamed, and then said, "The enemy is besieging the city from all sides, and the purpose of their attack is unknown. The city has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are many enemies, it is difficult to defend for a few days."

Although Jiangling City was prosperous in the past, it was slaughtered by the Western Wei army when Emperor Liang Yuan was killed and destroyed. Now it is very depressed. Although it is currently occupied by Chen Guo, it is just an isolated city in the north of the river, and it is difficult to do anything. Therefore, Chen Guo did not leave much troops here, and only served as an outpost. When a war broke out, he would give an early warning, and would soon withdraw his troops across the river to guard Jiangnan. Xiao Sigui is the city guard, he should know the intention of the imperial court, be vigilant day and night, and also sent outposts to monitor the movement of Xiangyang in the north.

Xiangyang is now the vanguard of Zhou's southern invasion, with strong forces. If Zhou sends troops, he must pass through Xiangyang. But Xiao Sigui never expected that when the enemy suddenly arrived, there was no news from the sentries in front. Could it be that the enemy was not Zhou Bing, or that Zhou Bing came quickly and killed the sentry he arranged? No matter what the situation is, it is obvious that everyone has become a turtle in the urn. Although Xiao Sigui was shocked, he knew that the only way right now was to stand firm and wait for help. He hoped that Chen Jun from Jiangnan would know the news and come to rescue Jiangling.

But whether the news could spread, whether Chen Jun would come to help, Xiao Sigui had no idea. Chunyuliang raised his eyes and saw that the torches under the city almost reached the horizon, he muttered: "They came at night, they surrounded but did not attack, they have a strong sense of prestige. I'm afraid..." He thought in his heart that the people in Jiangling City were exhausted and had nothing to plunder, yet the enemy surrounded the city with ten times as many troops and killed chickens with a sledgehammer. Only that lunatic could do such a thing.As for who the lunatic is, he knows it well.

After a pause, Chunyuliang ordered: "You just need to send more soldiers to appease the people in the city. Even if they want to attack the city, they still have to send someone to talk to me tomorrow." After he gave his orders, he went down from the top of the city and turned back to the city guard's mansion, but he didn't go to see Sun Simiao, he only summoned a close aide to ask about Sun Simiao's situation. The relative said: "General, Sun Simiao just ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then sat in the cage and settled down. Now that there are police outside the city, do you want to send more people to guard Sun Simiao?"

Chun Yuliang shook his head, waved his cronies to step back, and sat on the wheelchair blankly, lost in thought. The city gradually became quiet, and finally it was dawn. There were sudden footsteps, Xiao Sigui hurried over and said: "General Chunyu, it is the Zhou army who are here, and they really sent envoys to come and say they want to see General Chunyu." He was full of admiration, thinking to himself that although Chen Guochun was not good at measuring, but he was the number one general of Chen Guochun in terms of strategizing. Chun Yuliang was a little startled when he confirmed his conjecture, he thought to himself that he only arrived at dusk yesterday, and Zhou Jun already knew about it, could it be that there was already a secret work of Zhou State in the city?

Although he was startled, he could still calmly ask: "How many of them are here?" "There is only one, called Pei Ju." Xiao Si returned. Chun Yuliang frowned slightly, he had never heard of Pei Ju, he thought to himself that there are so many experts around that lunatic, why has he never heard of someone named Pei Ju?After all, he just nodded and said, "Please come in." Not long after, followed by Bingwei, a person walked in outside the mansion. Chunyuliang raised his eyes and saw the person coming, his heart trembled slightly.The visitor was dressed in blue, with a broad forehead, a bridge of nose reaching to the sky, and a wisp of beard under his chin, adding a lot of elegance.The person who came was like a Confucian scholar, but Chun Yuliang knew that this person was definitely not a Confucian scholar.

The people who come here are more like people in the Tao - but they don't belong to the Tao. The visitor was also observing Chunyu Liang, and seeing how weak Chunyu Liang was, he couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes, and saluted immediately, "Pei Ju has seen General Chunyu." His attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, even in front of the famous generals in the world, he is calm and composed. Chun Yuliang has seen countless envoys, some are humble, some are arrogant, some are harboring ulterior motives, the purpose can be said to be known at a glance, but seeing this person like this, he can't figure out his intentions, even more frightened.

After coughing a few times, he covered his mouth and said, "Mr. Pei...what's your business here?" "Why did General Chunyu ask knowingly?" Pei Ju smiled and said, "Could it be that the general forgot the agreement with our country's Otsuka?" When Xiao Sigui heard the word "Otsuka Zai", he was slightly taken aback, and then he listened to Chun Yuliang said: "Our country has indeed made an agreement with Prime Minister Yuwen of your country, to exchange Sun Simiao for the six counties around Luyang, but your country suddenly Xingbing came to Jiangling, why did you come?"

Pei Ju laughed and said: "The governor of our country, Otsuka, is impatient. He hasn't seen Sun Simiao for thirteen years. General Zhi sent Sun Simiao to Jiangling. He couldn't wait for Sun Simiao to go to Chang'an, so he personally led an army of 100,000 to hunt Jiangling with the general and Sun Simiao. The general will be delighted." As soon as the words fell to the ground, Chun Yuliang couldn't help coughing violently, but Xiao Sigui was extremely shocked. Can hunt Jiangling?Pei Ju said it politely, but he would be killed or injured if he could not do it right.

Zhou Guoxing came with 100,000 troops?How can the small Jiangling City stop it? What kind of ability does Sun Simiao have to bring Zhou Bing's army here? But what shocked Xiao Sigui the most was that the leader of the army this time was Zhou Guo's Otsuka Zai Yuwenhu? Although Xiao Sigui didn't have much reputation in Chen country, but he has been in the front for a long time, and he knows the situation of Zhou country quite well. The most famous Zhou State is not the famous generals such as Wei Xiaokuan and Liang Shiyan who often confronted Qi State, nor is it the emperor Yu Wenyong who led the Zhou State with his hand in Chang'an, but the Guanlongmen Clan who is a tiger and a dragon in Guanzhong. Only with the support of the Guanlongmen Clan can he win the world in Guanzhong, and without the praise of the Guanlongmen Clan, even the position of emperor will not be secure. The Guanlongmen faction is most famous in the Eight-surname Zhu Kingdom, and Dugu Xin's Dugu family is one of them. However, in the Eight-surname Zhu Kingdom, the most powerful one is not the Dugu surname, but the Yuwen surname. Yu Wenyong sits on the throne of the Son of Heaven, but everyone knows that it is only in name only, the most powerful person in Zhou State right now is Zhou State's Otsuka Prime Minister - Yuwen Tai's nephew Yu Wenhu! Otsuka Prime Minister is the prime minister of the imperial court. It should be said that he is under one person and above ten thousand people, but Yu Wenhu, Otsuka Prime Minister, no one dares to be on his head. Even the emperor can't! During the reign of Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuwentai died, and his sons were young. Before Yuwentai died, Yuwenhu, Duguxin, Zhao Gui and others from Zhuguo with eight surnames were appointed to take charge of the state power.Yuwenhu couldn't wait for a day, and immediately forced Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty to abdicate, and supported Yuwentai's son Yuwenjue to ascend the throne, and the state of Zhou was established. After Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty abdicated, Yu Wenhu killed him. Not long after Yuwenjue ascended the throne, he disrespected Yuwenhu. Yuwenhu acted first, deposed Yuwenjue by poisoning him to death, and appointed Yuwentai's son Yuwenyu as Emperor Ming of Zhou.But later, it was discovered that Yu Wenyu was extremely smart and capable, and his prestige was increasing. Yu Wenhu was very suspicious, so he attacked again and killed Yu Wenyu, and then made Yu Wentai's fourth son emperor, who is also Yu Wenyong, the current emperor of Zhou. The Son of Heaven is a dragon, but in just a few years, this Yuwen Hu has killed three Emperors in a row. The method is ruthless, and the number of dragons slaughtered is not only unprecedented, but even unprecedented. It is such a person who suddenly sent a hundred thousand troops to Jiangling, Xiao Sigui heard it, how could he not be startled? What's more, when Jiangling City was destroyed and Emperor Liang Yuan died, it was also caused by Yu Wenhu and Yu Jinxing's troops going south. Liang Yuandi, the emperor of Liang, could also be said to have died indirectly at the hands of Yu Wenhu. Jiangling was massacred many years ago. Could it be that today, more than ten years later, everything will happen again? Although Xiao Sigui was determined to defend the city with all his might, he couldn't help feeling miserable when he thought that the Zhou army was so powerful that the city would inevitably be destroyed. Chunyu Liang stopped coughing, and said slowly: "The alliance has been established long ago, why bother to go to war like this? Prime Minister Yuwen led the troops here, do you want to break the agreement?" "I'm a pawn, and I'm only here to pass on a message, so how do you know what Otsuka Zai is up to?" Pei Ju smiled. Chunyu Liang said, "What else is Prime Minister Yuwen going to say?" Pei Ju said indifferently: "Before the hunting meeting, General Otsuka knew that General was inconvenient to move, so he wanted to ask Sun Simiao to talk first, and General Chunyu would not object?" Chun Yuliang's eyes flashed with anger. Chen and Zhou agreed to exchange Sun Simiao for the six counties of Luyang that Chen lost. But the anger disappeared in a flash, Chunyuliang coughed a few times, and finally said: "Then when will your country be willing to return the six counties of Luyang?" Pei Ju's eyes flashed with mockery: "Of course this needs to be discussed by the general and Zai Otsuka in person." Xiao Sigui also understood some things, although he was surprised that Sun Simiao would have such a great effect, he didn't think about it deeply, and said loudly: "If Yuwenhu is really sincere, why didn't he go to the city to tell it?" Pei Ju said indifferently: "Zai Otsuka would not have led his troops here if he had no sincerity. General Chunyu is not feeling well, so he may not go for the time being, but if I don't turn back, Zai Otsuka may not be able to wait." After a moment of silence, Pei Ju slowly said again: "What Otsuka Zai hates the most is waiting." His words were flat, but the threat in them was self-evident. Although Xiao Sigui was full of anger, he was really afraid in his heart, he only looked at Chun Yuliang. If you hand over Sun Simiao, you may not be able to exchange for the six cities; but if you don't hand over Sun Simiao, the city may be destroyed soon; but even if Sun Simiao is handed over, won't Yuwenhu slaughter Jiangling City? Chun Yuliang was coughing again, wondering if he was thinking the same question? At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the mansion, Chun Yuliang couldn't help but frowned, but just waved his hands.A close friend hurried out of the mansion, and brought in three old men after a while. The three old men were all gray-haired, and when they saw Chun Yuliang, they fell to their knees and kowtowed endlessly. Chunyuliang frowned and said, "What's the matter?" The old man in the middle burst into tears and said, "General Chunyu, I heard that Zhou soldiers are coming again?" Chunyu thought to himself, are you talking nonsense?He could still patiently say: "Don't panic..." "That's right, don't panic, whether Jiang Ling can save the siege depends only on General Chunyu's thoughts." Pei Ju interrupted suddenly. Chun Yuliang was startled, and before he could say anything more, the old man said, "Yes, what your lord said is true. It is now said that the Zhou soldiers came to attack Jiangling just because of some Sun Simiao. As long as Sun Simiao is handed over, the Zhou army will immediately retreat. of." Chun Yuliang couldn't help coughing again, with sadness in his eyes, he looked slowly at Pei Ju. It was a secret that he brought Sun Simiao here, even Xiao Sigui didn't know the inside story, how would the people in the city know?Don't ask, someone is spreading the word. That said, there must be careful work in the city. Now Jiangling City has powerful enemies outside, fine work inside, and internal and external difficulties, if Yu Wenhu gives an order, the city will be broken in a matter of seconds. Pei Ju just smiled. The old man mourned: "Now people in Jiangling City are in panic, this old man is begging General Chunyu on behalf of the people of the whole city, no matter what, I just ask General Chunyu to take care of the lives of the people in the city and hand over Sun Simiao." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed again and again, and blood appeared on his forehead. Chunyuliang couldn't help coughing again, and heard the three elders kowtow non-stop, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Wait up." With a wave of his hand, a soldier stepped forward, and Chunyuliang said slowly, "You take The four pushed the cart out of the city and sent Sun Simiao to Zhouying." The soldier led the order, glanced at Pei Ju, and said, "Please come to me, Envoy Pei." Seeing this, the three old men were all overjoyed and thanked a lot. But Chun Yuliang couldn't help feeling disgusted, he didn't know if he hated what he had done, or what, he just sat in the wheelchair blankly, with a blank expression on his face. When the three old men saw them, they were a little embarrassed and hurriedly left. Feeling Xiao Sigui looking at him, Chunyuliang said tiredly: "Xiao Chengshou, don't worry about me, escort them to the city gate." Xiao Sigui had complicated thoughts, so he responded and left quickly. Chun Yuliang sat for a long time, heard the complicated footsteps going away, and finally turned his wheelchair towards the lobby where Sun Simiao was. The iron cage in the hall was long gone, Chunyu looked around with a gloomy expression.All of a sudden, his eyes fixed on the ground, his face changed slightly, and he drove forward. A copper key was dropped on the blue brick floor—it was left on purpose by him last night. Sun Simiao didn't take the key? Although the key is outside the cage, with Sun Simiao's ability, how difficult is it to get it? Chunyu Liang's heart trembled, he bent over to pick up the key, when his fingertips were about to touch the key, his body froze slightly. On the blue brick next to the key, there was a very fine scratch, as if scratched with the tip of a needle.The white marks on the blue bricks are not obvious, if you don't look down, it is extremely difficult to see. Who drew the trace, could it be Sun Simiao?What is he doing with these marks? Chun Yuliang was full of confusion, supported his sick body and got out of the wheelchair. A trusted aide had come over to support Chun Yuliang, and shouted: "General, what's wrong with you?" Chun Yuliang shook his head slowly and pushed away the cronies, knelt on the green bricks and looked, suddenly coughed violently. He coughed so painfully that his head touched the ground, tears streaming down his face, and he tightly grasped the key in his hand, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw. The scratches on the bricks are some characters, and those characters are quite common, they only write Su Ye Er Liang, Pinellia Sanqian, Poria cocos... and so on. Although Chun Yuliang couldn't be like Sun Simiao, healed himself after a long illness, but he also recognized that it was a prescription - a prescription for his cold cough! A prescription for a cold cough! There was a bright light in his eyes, he didn't look at the prescription, his eyes only fell on the last two rows of small characters under the prescription. A great doctor is sincere, heals the sick and saves the patient first with a heart of compassion, no matter who he asks, he is like a close relative; the general does not hesitate to sacrifice his life, but a thousand dollars is one life, I really can't take it lightly, I hope the general will take care of himself. A simple message, but the meaning is deep into the bone. Chun Yuliang finally held back his cough, and stared fixedly at the two rows of small characters, just like looking at Sun Simiao's smiling face. After the autumn wind passed, tears finally flowed from his eyes and dripped on the small green brick characters. The long street is long, the wind blows and the leaves fall. Sun Simiao sat cross-legged and closed his eyes in the iron cage, seemingly wondering where he was going. The car was rattling, and just after leaving the inner city, countless people rushed to the street, pointing at Sun Simiao who was in the car. "This is Sun Simiao?" "He brought Zhou Bing here?" "It's a scourge!" "Yes, people say that if he doesn't die, all the people in the city will die!" "But even if he dies, Zhou Bing may not just go back like this." The discussion became more and more intense, and suddenly a person shouted: "Why didn't this scourge die early, but came to Jiangling City to scourge us!" Before the voice fell, a shoe was thrown into the cage and almost hit Sun Simiao. on the head. The crowd was turbulent, and many people couldn't hold back their excitement, and followed suit one after another. For a while, they were drooling, and vegetable leaves and shoes came one after another. Pei Ju watched coldly from the sidelines, and a sudden smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Xiao Sigui hurriedly maintained order, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't get excited, give way." But his voice seemed somewhat weak in the waves of the people, and the people became more and more excited, scrambling to rush forward, and it seemed that they would tear Sun Simiao to pieces before he could leave the city. They didn't know that killing Sun Simiao would cause even more trouble. Sun Simiao still crossed his legs and did not even open his eyes. Pei Ju was laughing, and he couldn't help showing surprise when he saw Sun Simiao like this. He thought that few people could cultivate Qi, but he really didn't expect Sun Simiao to be so calm at this time. Seeing that the people broke through Chen Bing's obstruction, they were about to rush to the iron cage, and even stretched their hands in... If there was only a tiger in the cage, they would never put their hands in it. This was what Pei Ju was thinking at that moment. He was also thinking, if these people really wanted to tear Sun Simiao apart, would Sun Simiao still be so calm? "stop!" Suddenly there was a shout from the other side of the long street. The sound was so loud that dozens of people uttered it at the same time. It was earth-shattering. The people were startled, stopped their movements, and turned their heads to look. A wheelchair came up on the road, and it was Chun Yuliang who was sitting in the wheelchair. At that moment, a rare expression of anger appeared on his face—the entire face was distorted and deformed by anger! But the shout just now was obviously not from him. There are dozens of cronies behind him, standing behind him, standing upright like a spear, standing there like a thousand troops, the shout just now was made by these dozens of people together. The wheelchair came slowly, and the dozens of people stepped forward in unison. The people felt the chill, and hurriedly dodged aside. Chun Yuliang finally reached the iron cage, stretched out his hand, and picked off a vegetable leaf hanging on the steel rail. His movements were simple, but for some reason, one hand kept shaking... Sun Simiao finally opened his eyes, looked at Chunyu Liang, and suddenly smiled: "General Chunyu, do you still remember the story of the two rows of soldiers I told you?" "Remember." Chunyu measured his blushing cheeks, and tried hard to stop his cough. He still didn't understand what Sun Simiao meant, but he knew that if he didn't do anything else, he would never feel at ease for the rest of his life. Sun Simiao laughed again: "As I said, no one can help another person get rid of those two rows of soldiers, unless that person is capable. The most difficult thing to change in this world is a person, unless he wants to change himself..." "You did." Chunyuliang said numbly. There was a strange flash in Pei Ju's eyes, as if he was also thinking about what Sun Simiao said. "The general has already begun to change, maybe you don't feel it yourself." Sun Simiao smiled. Chun Yuliang only felt a light flash in his mind, shining brightly in his heart, and he seemed to realize something at that moment.But before he could think too much, Pei Ju said, "General Chunyu really changed his mind and wanted to let Sun Simiao go?" The voice was very soft, but the long street was too quiet, and there were not many people who heard Pei Ju's words at that moment. Then the words spread like waves, and even spread throughout the whole city. The whole city was silent at first, and then there was an uproar. The three old men stood up again and said in unison: "General Chunyu, are you really... going to let Sun Simiao go?" Chun Yuliang didn't answer, but the veins in his hand holding the steel railing swelled. Pei Ju added a sentence at the right time, which seemed to be regretful, but also provocative: "Is it true that General Chunyu, because of his friendship with Sun Simiao, put the lives of the people in the city at risk for a moment of enthusiasm?" Jiangling City seemed to be boiling. The three old men knelt down again and said in a low voice: "General, please put the overall situation first!" All the people on the long street knelt down and said in unison: "General, please put the overall situation first." The voice spread vastly, and the fallen leaves moved away, fluttering leisurely. Chunyu Liang didn't say a word, he just held the iron railing, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood left. He really can't act on his will, he really can't disregard the life and death of the people in the city, but now, how can he push people like Sun Simiao into the abyss just because of the people in the city? This is by no means an excuse that he can get rid of! What Sun Simiao said was right, he changed it, but it was so hard to choose. The sound gradually weakened, and many people's eyes showed a sense of fear. Although they were unwilling, they knew that the person who made the final decision was the general in front of him. Only Pei Ju had a smile on the corner of his mouth, because everything was related to him, but it had nothing to do with him. Suddenly, a scream came from the crowd: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Everyone turned their heads and saw a person supporting a white-haired old woman.The old woman covered her chest with her hands, closed her eyes tightly, and fell slowly to the ground.The old woman obviously couldn't bear the pressure brought by the massacre and passed out. The crowd was agitated, and the kneeling old man hissed: "General, are you really going to force the people of the whole city to death?" Everyone was in an uproar, chattering in unison: "General, please send Sun Simiao out of the city!" Chunyu Liang only felt dizzy for a while, before he could speak, Sun Simiao suddenly said, "General Chunyu, please let me out." The long street was steep and quiet, and Pei Ju was also quite surprised, apparently he did not expect Sun Simiao to make such a sudden request at this time. This is a ridiculous request! What's even more absurd is that Chun Yuliang seemed to have no accidents. With a movement of his hand, a key entered the iron lock. With a "click", the iron lock was unlocked, and the iron cage door was opened. Pei Ju couldn't help taking a step back. For the common people, Sun Simiao is a scourge, but a scourge that has no power to resist, but for Pei Ju, Sun Simiao makes his heart palpitate! Pei Ju and Sun Simiao met face to face several times. When he was in Zixu Yuanjun Palace in Zijin Mountain, he felt that he had used 90% of his strength, but he still couldn't figure out Sun Simiao's ability! Sun Simiao's ability is as vast and deep as the sea, making it difficult for him to see the whole picture. To him, Sun Simiao was really a very dangerous person. When Sun Simiao got out of the iron cage, he didn't look at Pei Ju who was on guard, nor did he look at the eyes on the long street that were as sharp as swords and as cold as wind and frost. He got out of the car, took a few steps forward, and reached the fainted old woman. Everyone was slightly stunned, puzzled by Sun Simiao's actions, only Chun Yuliang coughed slightly, and the coughing sound was as desolate as frost cracked withered leaves. There were tens of millions of people present, but he was the only one who understood what Sun Simiao was going to do. The old woman's son was panicked for a long time, but kept shouting: "Mother... mother... you wake up..." Seeing Sun Simiao approaching, his face was full of anger, he pushed him away, and shouted, "Are you still hurting people?" Isn’t that enough? Get lost!” Sun Simiao gently stretched out his hand, grabbed the son's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Let me see...your mother can still be saved!" The son was about to struggle, but when he heard Sun Simiao's words, he turned his anger into joy and said, "Really?" Right now he didn't care whether Sun Simiao would be released or not, he only cared about his mother's safety, so he stopped struggling immediately. Sun Simiao put the three fingers of his left hand on the old woman's wrist, and after a while, he flipped his right hand, and a pale golden needle several inches in length appeared in his hand. The needle looked extremely light and soft, like hair, and could be blown away by the cold wind. At this time, the day was just rising, and the morning light in late autumn shone on the lily needles, like a dreamy bubble. Chun Yuliang was still coughing, looking at the golden needle, he thought in his heart, this needle looks extremely soft, it must be Sun Simiao's usual acupuncture needle, but he doesn't know how Sun Simiao used the golden needle to puncture words on the hard blue brick? Everyone forgot about the noise for a moment, everyone was looking at Sun Simiao and the needle in his hand, Pei Ju was no exception, but what he thought was that a master's move, the weapon can be said to be ever-changing, and Sun Simiao's golden needle is so mysterious that people can't help it. Defend. Sun Simiao looked at the old woman, gently pushed away the long sleeve of her left arm until it reached the crook of the arm, and with a movement of his hand, the golden needle pierced the crook of the old woman's arm. Gently twist and turn slowly, but within a moment, Sun Simiao has pulled out the needle. When the needle came together, the old woman let out a long sigh and opened her eyes. The son cried out happily: "Mother, are you awake? Are you awake?" The old woman was ignorant for a moment, suddenly seeing Sun Simiao in front of her eyes, she said in amazement: "Son, why did he come out?" She sat on the ground, backed away in fear, and actually regarded Sun Simiao as a jackal. The son was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Mother, you fainted, it was him... Mr. who saved you." The old woman was startled, speechless. The long street is so quiet that the sound of falling leaves can be heard. Sun Simiao had no resentment, only pity in his eyes - pity for the struggle of the world. He got up slowly, didn't look at the people, the mother and child, and Pei Ju who was close at hand, but just slowly got on the cart, got into the cage, and locked the cage by himself with a "click". Then he looked at Chunyu Liang and said, "General Chunyu, thank you for letting me out." He said it sincerely, without any sarcasm in it. Chun Yuliang coughed again, and the hand holding the skirt made a "clack" sound. After a long time, he said in his unbelievably calm voice, "No thanks." There was no more voice of condemnation, and the kneeling old men were dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and were speechless for a while. Sun Simiao said calmly: "General, give the order." Buwen Chunyuliang replied, Sun Simiao smiled, "Could it be that the general will really disregard the lives of the people in the city just because of a moment of enthusiasm?" Pei Ju also said this, but when he said it, there was an indescribably pungent and threatening meaning, but when Sun Simiao said it, there was only a strong sincerity in it. With complicated eyes, Chunyu Liang sighed, waved his hands and said, "Send Mr. Sun out of the city!" What Xiao Sigui wanted to say at first, it can be seen that many people showed joy, finally gritted their teeth and shouted: "Get out of the city!" The people on the long street breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they didn't cheer any more. They just retreated to both sides of the long street, silently watching the carts go far along the long street and gradually disappear at the end of the long street. The people dispersed, discussing in low voices whether the Zhou army would withdraw after Sun Simiao was sent to the Zhou camp? The sun was rising high, and the light it cast seemed to be cold, shining on Chun Yuliang's body, casting a long shadow alone. Chun Yuliang didn't move and said nothing, just sat in the wheelchair and looked in the direction where Sun Simiao disappeared. Not long after, the sound of hooves reappeared, Xiao Sigui rushed back, seeing that Chunyu Liang hadn't left, he got off the horse and knelt down on one knee. Chun Yuliang looked at him coldly, but did not ask him if he would send Sun Simiao out of the city. He knew the size of Jiangling City, and knew that Sun Simiao should still be on his way out of the city at this time. Then why didn't Xiao Sigui listen to his orders? "General Chunyu, what's wrong with Sun Simiao?" Xiao Sigui asked anxiously. Unaware of Chunyuliang's answer, Xiao Sigui shouted: "Sun Simiao has not left the city yet, the general can still change his mind." Still seeing no reply from Chun Yuliang, Xiao Sigui couldn't help but said: "General, I don't know what kind of person Sun Simiao is and what kind of mistakes he will make, but I know he is a good person. At this time, he only wants to save people." .” He spoke impassionedly, but he didn't notice that Chunyu Liang's eyes were full of pain, and the hand holding the wooden handle was already bruised. "What's wrong with Sun Simiao? Even if he was wrong, he should have been forgiven long ago. If Yu Wenhu wants him to go to camp, he will never have any way of life. How can the general let him die?" Swallowing, Xiao Sigui said again: "The Zhou army has the heart of tigers and wolves. If you go south like this, even if you kill Sun Simiao, you will not spare the people of Jiangling. If they want to fight, even if the city is broken, the last general will let them go." Paying ten times the price, since that's the case, why don't you leave Sun Simiao to add strength..." He is a young man, if not for such a person, he would not have dared to cross the river to guard the isolated city of Jiangling when Chen Guo was in decline, but he obviously thought too little, he didn't know that it was all predestined. But he also had eyesight, and finally saw the autumn frost-like coldness on Chunyu Liang's face. "In today's world, right and wrong do not rule the roost, but only the strong." Chun Yuliang said desolately. "I..." Xiao Sihui wanted to refute. Chun Yuliang interrupted his continuation, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you really going to disregard the lives of the people in the city just because of a moment of enthusiasm?" Xiao Sigui was stunned. Pei Ju said this, Sun Simiao said it, he didn't want Chun Yuliang to mention it, but when Chun Yuliang mentioned it, he was full of helplessness.He raised his eyes and saw the long street was silent, but he didn't know how many people were watching quietly, full of panic. Under life and death, one has to steal one's life and live one's life, if one is not forced to do so, how can one fight to the death? This is the nature of human beings, and it is also the source of human sorrow. Although Xiao Sigui understood this, his words were still choked up, and he couldn't help saying: "But the general will let Sun Simiao die?" The cold wind was blowing the residual leaves, Chun Yuliang coughed violently again, covered his mouth with the silk scarf with difficulty, before he put it down, the silk scarf was completely stained with blood. He didn't say anything, and he didn't need to say any more, because he knew a long time ago that there are many helpless things in this world, which cannot be changed by one person's will! The city gate opened and closed again, cutting off the distance between the cart and the city. Sun Simiao sat alone in the cage, looking forward, the vicissitudes of life on his face became more intense. There are thousands of troops ahead, there is a mountain of swords and traps ahead, and his old enemy is ahead, and the front may be the end of his life. But he just said: "After you push me through the moat, go back." He was speaking to the man pushing the cart. There were five soldiers of Chen State pushing the cart, they looked at each other, the head of the one with thin cheeks seemed to be weak, but raised his head and said: "The general has an order, no matter what, I will send you to the Zhou camp." He was Chun Yuliang's personal soldier, and he seemed very courageous, and he dared to accompany Sun Simiao to the Zhou camp. The remaining four remained silent, their robes trembling in the cold wind. Pei Ju smiled and said, "Sun Simiao, I know that you insist on going to Zhouying because you want to save the people in Jiangling City!" Sun Simiao said indifferently: "Oh, you know?" He glanced at the soldiers pushing the carts, and frowned slightly. But the thin guard waved his hand, the suspension bridge was lowered, and the cart creaked across the moat. The five Chen soldiers did not stop, and pushed the cart towards Zhou Ying. Pei Ju glanced at the soldier pushing the cart, and said with a smile, "Of course I know, if I didn't know, how could I spread the news?" Sadness appeared in Sun Simiao's eyes, but he didn't speak. "You are saving people. You went to Zhouying alone for the people of Jiangling, but the funny thing is, they don't know, they just want you to die. You are saving them, but they only want your life. You said this Is it funny or not?" Pei Ju smiled very happily, but there seemed to be a poisonous needle hidden in his eyes, always trying to pierce Sun Simiao's heart. He has been beating Sun Simiao all the time. He really doesn't know where Sun Simiao's confidence comes from, but he never gives up his confidence in beating Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao said suddenly, "I can tell you a truth." Pei Ju raised his eyebrows, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, please tell me." He was humble, but he was arrogant in his heart, and never thought that there was any truth that needed to be told to him. "If you have expectations, you will also be disappointed." Sun Simiao said flatly. "What did you say?" Pei Ju was stunned for a moment, feeling that this plain sentence meant a lot. "I just said one reason." Sun Simiao did not answer. Pei Ju was stunned again, only feeling that Sun Simiao's words were calm, but to him, they were very sharp, and he laughed loudly, "Such mysterious, is this the master's way?" Seeing Sun Simiao smiled slightly, he did not argue.Pei Ju felt that he was at a disadvantage, but he was unwilling to be at a disadvantage. He said with a sneer, "Mr. is in prison now, and going to Zhouying is like going to die. If you prepare this truth, can you escape?" "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening." Sun Simiao smiled slightly, "Since you have learned the Tao, why fear life and death? Your Excellency is also an expert, why are you so obsessed here?" Pei Ju hesitated again, snorted coldly, and saw Zhou Ying ahead. I saw the banners fluttering and the horns blazing. During this night, Zhou Jun actually built a huge wooden city in the north of Jiangling City with antlers, big logs and tree fences. In the wooden city, there are thousands of horses and thousands of troops, with awe-inspiring killing intent.In the middle of the wooden city, there are countless big cowhide tents, looking at it at a glance, it is almost impossible to end. When the cart arrived at the Zhou camp, it actually entered the barracks without obstruction. Under Pei Ju's guidance, it went straight to the largest cowhide tent in the middle that looked like a palace. The journey was unimpeded, but everyone knew that without Pei Ju, they would have been shot into hedgehogs and cut to pieces before they even reached the camp. The cart finally stopped in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, a row of soldiers in front of the big cowhide tent, all of them looked like mountain warriors, holding huge axes, when they saw the cart approaching, they stopped shouting and drums beat thunderously. The giant axes are staggered and overlapped, forming a thrilling and chilling path. Chen Bing, who was pushing the cart, trembled, and he was able to push the cart into the army tent under the leadership of the soldier in charge. The big tent is extremely majestic, and as soon as you enter the tent, you will see flowing colors and flying gold, brilliant and brilliant.There are majestic soldiers guarding the edge of the tent, two rows of golden armor warriors stand on both sides, and many guards stand in front of the high platform at the end of the tent. There are many people in the tent, but no matter who enters the tent, they will first notice one person. The man lived high above the bed on the high platform. He was lying half-lying and half-sitting like that, seemingly nothing special, but no matter who it was, it was difficult to look at him for a second time. Because no matter who looks at it for the first time, it feels like falling into an ice cellar, with an indescribable coldness. Maybe it's not the coldness, but the killing intent, and also the murderous intent -- that's a murderous intent that can only be produced after killing countless people.The fluffy beard on the man's face was actually blood red, as if it had been stained by the blood of someone he killed. But he killed more people than his beards.Back then when he destroyed the city of Jiangling, he killed tens of thousands of people in one go. If ordinary people are caught by him, their souls will be scattered. He was looking at Sun Simiao. Sun Simiao was also looking at him, just one glance, and did not move away. The man suddenly laughed loudly, and with a wave of his hand, a coquettish woman curled up like a cat was thrown off the stage. The woman was originally a coquettish and elegant woman, but when she fell under the high platform, her nose became bruised and her face was swollen in an instant, but the woman didn't dare to hum, because she knew that the person who threw her was cold and emotionless, and she regarded the women around her as worse than clothes! Although she fell heavily, she was still alive after all, if she showed any dissatisfaction, she might die in an instant. She looked at Sun Simiao in the cage with some curiosity, and really couldn't figure out why this person was still so calm. The man on the high platform looked at Sun Simiao silently, and finally said, "You're here." He spoke calmly, but in his calm words, there were countless landslides and earth cracks hidden in his calm words. Sun Simiao said calmly: "I'm here." He spoke very calmly, but in those calm words, he didn't know how many sorrows and vicissitudes were contained. "You said I'd better kill you back then, otherwise...you will definitely come back." The man's eyes suddenly showed a murderous intent. Sun Simiao in the cage felt extremely lonely. He smiled and said softly: "Yes, I will definitely come back." After a pause, he added. "Thirteen years, I'm back!"
