Chapter 66 15. Journey

It snowed heavily for ten days, but the fighting never stopped. Since Wang Bo's first uprising in Shandong, Liu Badao of Pingyuan, Sun Anzu of Zhangnan, and Zhai Rang of Wagang all raised troops one after another.In the picture of Jiangshan entering the battle, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Li Mi, Wang Bodang and other heroes who have been echoed by everyone have joined the rebel army and raised the banner of anti-Sui. "Feige from Fangting sent a letter saying that she and Brother Shen went back to the mountain to play." Jun Wuyi smiled with relief: "Now there is danger of war everywhere, it's better to avoid it on the mountain."

"Then what about you?" Su Changshan leaned comfortably on the big bed: "What do you plan to do?" Jun Wuyi shook his head lightly. In the past ten days, his body has recovered a lot. More importantly, except for the occasional joint pain in the cold night, his legs are no different from normal people, and he will not make people feel anxious when walking. up. "In this summer's flood, 200,000 people died in Shandong and Hebei, and the court ignored it; the emperor asked Zhengfu to work in the water day and night in order to build a big ship, and many people died of maggots all over their bodies," Su Changshan said without hesitation. With a flick of his sleeves: "No wonder the people will rebel."

Jun Wuyi's clear and juan eyes showed a gloomy look, and he put his hands behind his back and said nothing. "In your heart, you don't want to fight this battle." "...In this world, you know me best." Jun Wuyi turned around and said, "The people who raised the army were all the people of the Sui Dynasty. I don't want the country to be in danger, but I also don't want to meet the people with swords." "That's easy, there's a way." "any solution?" "Same as Fang Ting and Shen Zhu, go to the mountains and play in the water." Su Changshan said leisurely: "The affairs of the world will be disturbed by the people of the world. The most suitable thing for you now is to go to the mountains to recuperate."

Jun Wuwu was taken aback. The snow has not stopped, and the mountains and rivers are shrouded in quiet whiteness. After a long time, Jun Wuyi was about to speak, when suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door: "General! General!" Wei Mao rushed in with a piece of military newspaper: "The main defender of Luoyang City is dead! Chang'an's reinforcements are still on the way, and the city is about to be breached by the Wagang Army. Shan Xiongxin said that if General Jun carried... Talk with Su Zhuangyuan's head, and they will retreat from Luoyang!" As soon as the words finished, Xia Zhi rushed over panting: "Chang'an is here to send a letter, and the emperor has an urgent secret order for the general!"

Jun Wuyi took the secret decree and did not open it, but lightly ordered Xia Zhi to light the candle. Xia Zhi walked over cautiously holding the candlestick, and saw that Jun Wuyi raised his hand, and the bright yellow edict immediately burst into flames, and the bright blue and yellow flames quickly swallowed the satin. "General!" "General!" Xia Zhi and Wei Mao exclaimed at the same time, Wei Mao opened his mouth wide in shock: "General, don't you want to see... what is written in the emperor's secret decree?" "Ten years of monarch and subject," the flame had already burned to Jun Wuyi's fingertips, he stretched out his palm, the flame dimmed, and the fingers in his palm flew into ashes: "I know what the emperor wants to tell me."

Wei Mao and Xia Zhi looked at each other, only to hear Jun Wuyi say: "Luoyang City is the granary of our Great Sui Dynasty. If it is occupied by the Wagang Army, Chang'an City will be destroyed in the morning and evening. You go down first, and I will make arrangements." The snow was falling hard again. "Cao Yuanzhen not only told Shan Xiongxin, but also delivered the secret letter to Chang'an City." Su Changshan lazily stood up.He glanced at the ground—the two young generals probably didn't know that the imperial decree burned to ashes on the ground would save thousands of their lives.

Sometimes, ignorance is the safest. "You would rather break justice with me than let me resist the decree." There was a kind of arrogance in Jun Wuwu's eyes: "With such a method of seeking peace, the emperor dare not declare it to the world; even if Shan Xiongxin does not want your head today , but to any brother in our army, would my Jun Wuwu back down a bit?" The benevolent is invincible, the brave is not afraid. At this moment, Jun Wuyi has a kind of dazzling brilliance, and the snow-capped and snow-covered world seems to be between his sleeves and hands. "No." Su Changshan also stood up: "I'm not afraid of you resisting the edict, I'm only afraid that you will return to the court after you resist the edict; I'm not afraid of you putting in twenty years of skill, I'm only afraid that you will mount a horse and kill the enemy after you lose all skill; I'm not afraid of your stupidity, I'm afraid that you always know what's wrong and do it."

The emotions in Jun Wuyi's eyes were like a whirlpool. "Don't worry, I won't be as stupid as you. At any time, lazy people will only take the easiest way." Su Changshan said leisurely: "I thought I was going to die, so I was generous once. Now I live a good life Yes, you will take my head unless you defeat me first." Snowflakes poured into Jun Wuyi's neckline quietly, and melted on his pale neck. Su Changshan threw a cloak to him: "Combined to survive, divided to perish. Only when the world is united can there be peace and prosperity. No matter how many reasons the Wagang Army has, they are crushing the territory of this river and mountain. You can't allow it."

"Su Tong—" "If you go, you may die; if you don't go, your life will be worse than death." Jun Wuwu couldn't say a word. Su Tong has said everything he wanted to say but couldn't bear to say. A confidant can know the heart, a confidant can push the heart, and a confidant can compare the heart to the heart-the only thing that cannot be done is to rest assured. "You go out of the city on Qingqi from the west gate, and go to Yiyang to ask General Wang Shichong to borrow troops." Jun Wuyi closed his eyes, and then opened them immediately: "I can only defend against an army of 30,000 with 4,000 troops, and I cannot attack. If you can't come in time, Su Tong, you are my only way out."

Su Changshan stood still. Jun Wuyi's calm and unwavering eyes—is he really preparing for the battle, or is he pushing him to the other side of life again at a dangerous moment? Or... both. "Brothers live and die together, I will definitely live." Jun Wuyi said clearly. Su Changshan looked into his eyes and finally didn't speak. "From here to Yiyang, it takes ten days to go back and forth." Jun Wuyi unfolded a large map: "You start from the west city gate, travel along Luoshui River, pass Luti Mountain to Yiyang..." In the overwhelming snow, the flames of war burned Luoyang into an isolated city.

The Wagang army was brave and good at fighting, and they were like a broken bamboo all the way. After several days of strong attack, they lost nearly a thousand troops in the city.The city is full of groans of injuries... Jun Wuyi deploys troops to defend like gods, Wagang Army can't attack Luoyang for a while, Shan Xiongxin orders people to yell at the city day and night, but Jun Wuyi insists on not opening the city gate, making the soldiers fight to the death His blood can only be melted in wine and swallowed into his stomach. The tents of the rebels outside the city were as dense as haystacks, and the tents were about to become a prairie fire. The high walls are filled with the smoke of daytime siege and the danger of re-ignition at any time. There are traces of ladders erected on the top of the city, and dark red bricks with blood stains. Jun Wuxin looked down, but when he lowered his head, his eyes suddenly became dizzy. "General!" Xia Canjun panicked and supported his suddenly unstable figure. Jun Wuyi slowly supported the city wall: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired." After a lot of torture, Jun Wuyi's body is not as good as before. "General, you haven't closed your eyes for three days and three nights." Xia Canjun's eyes suddenly turned red: "Your body can't bear it." The snow scene in the night sky makes Jun Wuyi's neck and face even more tired and fair. There was a sudden noise from under the city wall, only Wei Mao was saying something loudly, and the boiling soldiers suppressed Wei Mao's voice with higher noise. Jun Wuxin walked down the city wall slowly.
