Chapter 164 Chapter 32

Chapter 32, Jade Blood Loyal Soul The Daizhou army charged forward as the vanguard, Ting Fei led his own army to break through to attract the main force of the Yong army, and the main force of the Han army came out from the northwest.Yongren was afraid of Tingfei's prestige, so he used a large army to prevent him from charging. Tingfei charged all day and night, his horse was exhausted, trapped by Yong's army, injured in more than ten places, unable to move.Da Yong Qi Wang loved his bravery, and went to the former enemy to recruit him to surrender. Ting Fei sternly refused, entrusting future affairs, so he committed suicide. At that time, Ting Fei was only 33 years old, and hundreds of his personal guards survived, all of whom died. General He loves horses, throws himself into Qinshui and dies.Wang Ling built the general's tomb in the field, and cast the "Loyalty Tomb" and "Yima Tomb" to accompany it. Houxiang old people built shrines behind the tombs, and offered sacrifices in the Spring and Autumn.

——"History of the Northern Han Dynasty."Legend of Flying Dragon Court" On April 19th, when the morning light broke through the clouds again, there were only a thousand Northern Han troops left on the battlefield surrounded by the Yong army. After the main force of the Northern Han army broke through yesterday, Longting flew into the formation several times Seeing that there was no chance to break through, they formed a round formation and stood firm. The Yong army attacked from all sides, but the Northern Han army reported that they must die. The two sides fought until dusk. The army formation of the Northern Han Dynasty just began to collapse, but the dispersed Northern Han army formed a small circle, stubbornly resisting needlessly. Many hungry soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty drank horse blood and ate raw horse meat on the battlefield. It was not until early in the morning that Li Xian finally wiped out all the remnants except Long Tingfei and his relatives. There were almost no prisoners. All the Northern Han troops almost died. After being unable to fight, they committed suicide and died, unwilling to be captured and humiliated. The only few hundred prisoners were either too wounded to commit suicide, or they fainted from exhaustion, and had no chance to seek death.

Li Xian looked at Long Tingfei who was trapped in the siege with a livid face, clenched his fists, and was very angry. At this moment, a clear and elegant voice came from behind and said: "Why is your highness so ugly? Seeing that the enemy chieftain is about to confer the head, your highness should Happiness is." Li Xian didn't look back, and said sarcastically: "It turns out that the military supervisor is here, why aren't you sullen?" I couldn't help touching my nose, retracted my neck, and smiled awkwardly, secretly regretting that I shouldn't have offended King Qi two days ago.But speaking of it, I can’t be blamed. Although I have a lot of business all over the world, but the profit is meager, and I have lost the business network in Sichuan for no reason. How can I not be heartbroken.

Speaking of which, my property is mainly divided into four parts. The first part is Nanchu Tianji Pavilion. Tianji Pavilion secretly controls 30% of the Jiangnan business, but this 30% is not fully controlled by me. Most of the shares belong to me. I have distributed the other part to the secret camp disciples, and only a part is still under my direct control. But according to my plan, after the world is unified, I will disperse all the industries, that is to say, in the name of Tianji Pavilion I can't sell the property I control at will, and I can't withdraw money excessively. Moreover, in order to support the intelligence network in Nanchu, the part of the profit I should get is basically invisible.

The second part is the Ping An Inn that Lu Er is in charge of. This is an industry that I completely control. It is responsible for my liaison with other industries and is also a source of my intelligence. It takes energy and money to control such a huge industry. It's hard to count. In short, it is still in the stage of breaking even. Although there will be a steady stream of benefits in the future, at least for now, I can't count on it. The third part is my shares in Haishi Shipping Company. This part can be said to be huge profits, and it is also my main source of money at present, needless to say.Without the continuous money provided by Hai's, how could I have a Jinghai Villa in a fairyland on earth, let alone build a safe hotel.

And the fourth part is the industry under the control of the Splendid League. At first, I wanted to give the allies of the Splendid League a shelter, so that they would not only think about restoring the country and taking revenge every day, but unexpectedly, it was a lot of money. These people in the Splendid League Most of them are talented and well-connected heroes. If they weren't for such people, how could they have the heart to resist Dayong? Thanks to the efforts of these local snakes, the Jinxiu League's industry is thriving. I am happy to see the income accounts every year. mouth.At the beginning, I was a fan of the authorities and didn't want to give up the Fairview League because I was reluctant to part with the benefits. But after learning about Xiahou Yuanfeng's request, my mind cleared up and I found helplessly that I had to give up the Fairview League in order to prevent Xiahou Yuanfeng from passing through. The industries of Splendid Embroidery League have infiltrated into my power. I made up my mind to give up all the properties and asked Chen Zhen and the others to send more than 90% of their working capital to Lu Er through Tianji Pavilion. Although I tried my best to minimize the losses, Only the shops, goods and real estate are left to the Splendid League, who are in charge of managing these industries, waiting in ignorance for Xiahou Yuanfeng to take over forcibly, but I still feel very heartbroken, thinking that my annual income will be reduced by 40% in the future, why not let me Beat your chest and stamp your feet.

What, you told me that wealth is like floating clouds, it's nonsense. Although I, Jiang Zhe, don't love power and fame, I still love money. If I don't have gold and silver, how can I support my family? Is it possible that I am corrupt and accept bribes?I think it was because Xiao Shunzi hit me with a sap at the beginning, which made me go to the No. 1 examination. Although I lived a comfortable life for a few years because of this, it also changed my life. If I had a lot of money back then, Maybe I'm still living in seclusion in that beautiful place, reading books, drinking tea, enjoying flowers and fishing every day, enjoying endless fun. Although it will be a bit dull, I can spend this life without any worries.Besides, with my current body, although I can barely call it healthy, if I don't have enough money to use various expensive medicines to take care of my body, and let me go to work hard to make money, I don't know if I can live. Until the day when Roulan and Shen'er get married.If I want to live a comfortable life, I don’t need money. The calligraphy and paintings of celebrities I like need money, and the rare books I like also need money, that is, the paper and ink for writing, the fragrance burned when playing the piano, and the exotic flowers and plants in the garden. , Isn't it all piled up with money?

Thinking about it this way, the loss this time is enough to make me feel heartbroken. After thinking about it, it is all because of the Dayong royal family. Since Li Zhi is the emperor, I dare not vent my anger. Changle is my beloved, so I cannot bear to vent my anger. Naturally Only Li Xian, who was in front of me, was angry, and Changsun Ji and Jing Chi, who made them Li Zhi's confidantes, so I also vented my anger.These days, he ignores military affairs by recuperating from his illness.Of course, it's all about anger. I also think that Li Xian can stop Long Tingfei and Lin Bi. I'm not very proficient in combat, so I ignore it. How could I expect the current situation to be like this? Quite satisfied.

Long Tingfei was trapped and bound sooner or later. Although Lin Bi led the Daizhou Army to take advantage of the lack of reinforcements from the Yong Army to break through the siege of Xiying and break out with seven thousand Daizhou disciples, the strength of the Daizhou Army It was a big loss, and according to the information I got, it is impossible for Lin Bi's breakthrough to affect the overall situation of the Northern Han Dynasty, and her survival also left room for negotiation between Dayong, the royal family of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Lin family of Daizhou.And the most unexpected thing is that Jing Chi was assassinated, which made the main force of the Qinzhou army break through successfully. If I hadn't given him a life-saving elixir when I was in Hanyuan, I'm afraid his life would be in danger. This is obviously beyond my expectation.However, because of Li Xian's decisive decision, Chang Sun Ji didn't have to worry about the besieged Long Tingfei and Daizhou Army, but instead concentrated on chasing and killing the fleeing Qinzhou Army.Although the Qinzhou army succeeded in breaking through and took the opportunity to kill the Yong army who sealed Qinshui and rescued the remnants of the Northern Han water army, only 30,000 remnants of the army fled back to Qinyuan under the pursuit of Changsun Ji. , now Changsun Ji has sealed off the Qinshui River Valley, and Chen Bing is under the Qinyuan City. It can be said that all the expected goals have been achieved. Although it is not perfect, Jing Chi is seriously injured, and Li Xian also feels embarrassed, but this is still a decisive victory.

Looking at Li Xian's cold face, I sighed and said apologetically, "I was ill a few days ago, so I missed my wife and children a little bit, so I offended His Highness, please forgive me." Li Xian knew in his heart that what Jiang Zhe said was just an excuse, but he could hear the meaning of guilt and repair in his words. When he heard Jiang Zhe mentioning his wife and children, Shen'er's cute and naive expression immediately appeared in his mind. The appearance, the heart softened, and the anger gradually dissipated. Thinking about it, although the marriage has already been decided, whether the marriage can go smoothly in the future still needs Jiang Zhe to complete it. Zhe said with a smile, "This king also knows that it is actually a big victory, but thinking of being so useless, not only letting Lin Bi break out, but also sending tens of thousands of remnants to Qinyuan, it is a fly in the ointment. The general was assassinated and seriously injured, which also made me very angry."

Seeing that Li Xian has eased up, I also said with a smile: "Your Highness, now that the enemy chieftain is under control, if you can capture Long Tingfei alive and present him as a prisoner, it will be a rare honor." He thought that he could get Li Xian's approval. After all, the credit of capturing the enemy's commander was enough to make Li Xian proud, and it could also make up for the face he lost this time.To my surprise, Li Xian not only did not agree, but frowned and said, "It's hard. I have fought Long Tingfei for many years, and I know what he is. I would rather die than be captured and humiliated, not to mention others, even this king, if there is a possibility of falling into the hands of the enemy, there is only one way to go." My heart was shocked, and I looked at Li Xian with a new look. After repeated setbacks and blows, this former domineering His Royal Highness Qi Wang has lost his mind as deep as an ocean without changing his arrogant temperament.Turning his gaze to the battlefield, he saw Long Tingfei and his personal guards who were surrounded by heavy siege. Everyone's faces were very peaceful, and the killing at hand seemed to have no effect on their moods. This is a real warrior facing the situation of certain death. I sighed softly, I thought I was good at grasping people's hearts, but I was still a bit biased towards this kind of warrior on the battlefield, it was impossible for Long Tingfei to be captured.I remembered that someone once told me that during the hunting palace change, the emperor was forced into a desperate situation by Wen Ziyan, and he intended to die. Now that I think about it, although Li Zhi, Li Xian and Long Tingfei's status are very different, but One thing is similar, that is, they are all real generals, for them, they can die in battle, they can be defeated, but they must never be captured or humiliated.All of a sudden, I have a little more respect and concern for the bloody battlefield. Let me, a weak person with a weak heart, witness the final demeanor of a peerless famous general with my own eyes. At this time, Li Xian sighed and said: "Although it is impossible, this king can't just give up like this. If Long Tingfei can surrender, the blow to the Northern Han army's morale will be immeasurable." The situation was completely under the control of the Yong army, so the Yong army stopped attacking, but surrounded the remnants of the Northern Han army, and the Northern Han army, which was already on the verge of extinction, did not continue to attack, but stopped hoping to recover some strength , to reorganize the nearly collapsed circular array.The battlefield suddenly became quiet. Except for the heavy breathing and the wailing of war horses, there was silence between heaven and earth. Li Xiance stepped forward immediately and said in a loud voice: "General Long, you are now in a desperate situation. Except for these hundreds of personal guards, there is no one soldier to mobilize. This king respects your loyalty and admires your military strategy." Wushuang, if you are willing to abandon your weapons and surrender, this king promises that you will definitely be treated as a guest of honor, and you will not be insulted in the slightest even to the soldiers under your command. The general uses his body as a bait to fight bloody days and nights. He is loyal and loyal, and everyone learns from each other. Even if you give up resistance now, the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty will not be harsh, so why bother to fight to the death, doesn't the general cherish these loyal soldiers who are loyal to you?" Long Tingfei, who was surrounded by personal guards, heard the words and looked around slowly. He saw that there were only a few hundred personal guards, all of whom were exhausted, their battle robes were torn, and blood seeped into the red battle robes, which made it hard to tell. Clear where is the blood, where is the true color of the shirt.The bows and arrows have long been broken, and the steel knives have been blunted. Every bodyguard's eyebrows are deeply tired, and there is nothing but despair in their eyes. Everyone here already knows that death will come at any time.Long Tingfei smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone get out of the way, let Long and His Royal Highness Qi Wang say a few words." The guards remained motionless, and quickly parted ways. From the gap in the circle, Long Tingfei and Li Xian saw each other face to face again. Although there was a distance, it was enough to see each other's face clearly. Wei didn't hesitate at all, since it was already a deadly situation anyway, it didn't matter if King Qi took the opportunity to attack, and although they hated the enemy's commander to the bone, they also knew that the man was also a hero in the world, and would never do anything that would be contrary to his promise, True heroes can only understand each other through bloody battles on the battlefield. Long Tingfei's eyes fell on behind Li Xian, the haggard but leisurely scholar in green clothes. This time, his defeat was due to the cooperation of Li Zhi and Li Xian. If he hadn't expected Li Zhi would dispatch an army to help Li Xian deal with him at such a dangerous time, how could there be such a disastrous defeat, and the only person who could make Li Zhi and Li Xian cooperate smoothly, was this man in Tsing Yi—Hou Jiangzhe of Chu Township.However, his eyes flickered, and finally fell on Li Xian. No matter how well-planned the plan was, if he didn't fight hard, he would definitely not fall into the siege. Taking off his helmet and throwing it off his horse casually, Long Tingfei said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, you are also the commander of the first army, how can you not know that the commander is captured, it is a great shame, Long is not talented, and he is also a general. My Long Family For generations, receiving great kindness from the ruler of the country, granting him great power, treating his wife as a princess, entrusting the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers outside, and endowing him with the kindness of flesh and blood inside, there is no reason to bind one's hands." Li Xiandao: "This king also knows that General Long is righteous, and he will never give up his hands willingly, but the general can die willingly. Don't tell me that all the soldiers under your command should die too? Well, this king can be loyal to the king, so why not give orders? If the soldiers under his command surrender to the king, the king can guarantee their lives are safe. In the future, the emperor will pardon the world, and the king will promise to disarm these soldiers and return them to the fields. Instead of letting them die with the general, the general will let them go so that they can marry wives and have children , guarding the countryside, doesn’t the general want to leave behind some heroes for the Northern Han Dynasty?” Long Tingfei smiled lightly, and said calmly: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang is also right. Since Long is already besieged on all sides, there is no need to drag them to be my companions. Gentlemen, you have already paid enough for the king and for Long. , Today Longmou trapped you to death, you are still fighting desperately, out of emotion and reason, you have all fulfilled your duties, loyalty is not ashamed of your heart, Longmou now gives an order, you can abandon your weapons and surrender, this is Longmou's order, in the future If there is a chance to see the king again, you can report to the king and say what Long said, you are not cowards who are greedy for life and fear of death, but the warriors of our Northern Han Dynasty." When these personal guards heard Long Tingfei's words, they were silent with tears in their eyes. They naturally knew the situation in front of them. The coach had already declared that he would not surrender, but asked them to abandon their weapons. Long Tingfei's intentions, They can understand it naturally, but how can they feel at ease by abandoning their master and stealing their lives.A young guard in his early twenties suddenly covered his face and burst into tears. His face was covered with blood, mixed with tears and blood, and he became more and more embarrassed. His crying seemed to be a signal. A guard lowered his head sadly, and the steel knife in his hand fell. Dust, and then, one after another, the guards began to cry, and their weapons began to drop, obviously accepting the next fate. Li Xian didn't send an order for Yong Jun to take the prisoners, but just watched all this quietly. Long Tingfei showed a bright smile, and said: "His Royal Highness, you and I have been fighting for many years, and you can be regarded as close friends. I have something to entrust to you. I don't know if you will agree." Li Xian said solemnly: "This king and the general cherish each other. It's not just a day. As long as Li Xian can do it, he will definitely do his best." Long Tingfei's gaze became gentle and far away. He thought about how to word it, and then said: "Young man Long lost his wife and has no children. Naturally, there is no need to worry about the future. As for the fathers and children in the clan, they are all loyal officials of the Northern Han Dynasty. There is no need for Long Mou to worry about life and death, they will live and die with the Northern Han Dynasty. There is only one thing that Long Mou can't let go of, and that is Princess Jiaping Lin Bi, Long Mou's fiancée." Li Xian was stunned, Lin Bi was the princess of the Northern Han Dynasty, even if Long Tingfei was worried, he shouldn't have talked about it with him.He looked weird and said: "General, don't worry, Princess Jiaping has successfully broken through, and she should have returned to Qinyuan by now." Long Tingfei smiled lightly and said: "It's not that Long is hypocritical. If the Northern Han Dynasty can not be annexed by Dayong, it is useless to mention this matter. If it is unfortunate, it will be included in the territory of Dayong. Although Princess Bi is a member of the royal family, she is also a member of the royal family." The commander-in-chief of the Daizhou Army, the Daizhou Army has defended the territory for more than a hundred years. Princess, I'm afraid that there will never be peace in Daizhou, so please His Highness take the opportunity to speak up and save the Lin family, and Long can guarantee that once the Lin family in Daizhou surrenders, they will not have another heart." Li Xian hesitated for a while, and finally said: "This matter is of great importance. I can't guarantee it, but I will try my best. My emperor brother is wise and powerful, and he will definitely not easily harm a loyal and brave man." A look of relief flashed in Long Tingfei's eyes, and he said: "One more thing, if Dayong rules the world and Princess Bi is safe and sound, Long hopes that His Highness can take care of her for me." Li Xian's body trembled. If he hadn't grabbed the rein in time, he would have almost rolled off the horse. As if the secret in his heart had been exposed, he blushed and said, "General Long, what nonsense are you talking about?" Long Tingfei seemed to have seen through Li Xian's intentions, and solemnly said: "Long is not talking nonsense. Although Princess Bi and I have been named, we have not yet married. Although we are destined to have nothing to do, after all, everyone Everyone regards her as Mrs. Long. I am afraid that even if Princess Bi intends to choose another mate, no one would dare to seek the phoenix. Princess Bi is a hero among women. Long also respects the heroes of the times, and when Princess Bi mentioned the meeting in the East China Sea, Long believes that the two of them also have confidant feelings, and if possible, Long hopes that the prince can take good care of her." Li Xian's face was even more flushed, and he said after a long time: "Princess Bi is both talented and beautiful, she is also a famous general in the world, a hero among women, but Li Xian is a flirtatious dude with a bad reputation, how can he be worthy of Princess Bi, let alone..." Speaking of Here, Li Xian stopped talking suddenly, because he suddenly discovered the secret hidden deep in his heart. After a while, he had already fallen in love with Lin Bi. Dare to think about it, now suddenly there is an aboveboard opportunity for him to pursue Lin Bi, and he is unwilling to refuse gently in his heart. Seeing this, Long Tingfei couldn't help but smile, and said: "If Princess Bi wants to agree in the future, I wonder if the prince is willing to agree to this marriage?" Li Xian was ruthless, ignoring the stunned cronies behind him, and said: "If Princess Bi agrees, Li Xian will definitely live up to the trust." After saying this, Li Xian heaved a sigh of relief, but he smiled wryly in his heart, probably he didn't Opportunity gave birth to a princess who was a direct descendant, and she recruited Shen'er as her son-in-law. Long Tingfei looked relaxed, and said with a smile: "Naturally, Long hopes that my Northern Han Dynasty will prosper, but I also sincerely wish the prince all the best. Although there are some contradictions, the prince should know that Long is sincere." Li Xian looked embarrassed and was speechless.Long Tingfei also ignored him, and said in a low voice: "Blue blood and yellow sand, the loyal soul is deeply buried. If Long Tingfei dies today, there is still lingering hatred. It would be great if he could still serve the lord after death!" , Long Tingfei drew his long sword out of its sheath, a cold light flashed, blood flowed, and everyone exclaimed, his body fell off the horse.The soldiers of the two armies originally saw him chatting, laughing and feasting. Although they were entrusting them with the affairs of the afterlife, they had a kind of calm demeanor, and even gave birth to the illusion that he would not seek death. Who knew that when he bowed his head and whispered, he suddenly drew his sword and killed himself. All caught off guard.Long Tingfei's mount is also a rare good dragon colt. At this moment, his whole body is covered in blood, and he doesn't look like he used to be. When he saw his master fall in front of the horse, the war horse whined and bowed his head from time to time to his master's gradually icy body, hissing. The cry is sad and sad, which makes people heartbroken. Li Xian was dejected, and was about to order to deal with the aftermath, when one of Long Tingfei's personal guards suddenly shouted: "The general treats us with such kindness as a mountain, how can the general go on the road alone." Already seriously injured, a sharp arrow pierced through his arm. Although the body of the arrow was cut off, the arrow was still deeply stuck in the flesh.The guard was full of grief and anger at the moment, and he stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow in spite of everything, bringing out a mass of flesh and blood. The guard didn't care, the arrow pierced his throat, died immediately, and fell to the ground.Seeing this, another guard who was crying and crying shouted: "General!" He bent down to pick up the discarded saber, and committed suicide.Their actions infected everyone, and those personal guards who had listened to Long Tingfei's order to abandon their weapons were now filled with shame and grief, and when they saw this, they all shouted "General" and killed themselves. Li Xian said loudly: "No!" But it was too late, but in an instant, hundreds of guards had committed suicide.Li Xian let go of his hand in desperation, he couldn't help feeling disappointed that no one was saved, the warriors of the Northern Han Dynasty were indeed loyal.In the center of the battlefield, Long Tingfei's mount suddenly wailed and ran towards the east.No one in the Yong army thought of stopping the horse, let go of the line of defense, and let the horse escape. I watched coldly from behind. Although Long Tingfei's move was unexpected, it was not incomprehensible. He must have known in his heart that no matter whether he was able to break through successfully, the Northern Han Dynasty was already at sunset, so he had to entrust the funeral to Li Xian. move.However, he entrusted Lin Bi to Li Xian, which was unexpected to me. How this matter has been resolved, whether it will be beneficial or unfavorable, I began to secretly plan. Next, Li Xian ordered to clean up the battlefield, and I followed Li Xian all the time, wanting to see how he arranged it.Li Xian personally ordered people to build a tomb for Long Tingfei in the field of Ji's family to bury him. He also ordered the dead relatives to be buried next to him to form a large tomb called Zhongyi Tomb.On the day of the burial, Yong's army reported back. Longting flew his horse to Qinshui, wailed and wept blood on the bank of Qinshui, and then sank into it.Hearing this, Li Xian sighed and remained silent, I was also saddened, so I proposed to bring the corpse of the war horse and bury it next to Longtingfei's grave, Li Xian immediately agreed, and asked people to do so, the tomb of this war horse was named "Yi Ma Tomb" by Li Xian. " Before our army went north, we came to the tomb of Longting Fei again. Although it was only a few days, I saw fragrant flowers in front of the tomb. I don’t know who came to pay homage. Although I was the one who killed you, this is a helpless thing. I will help you fulfill your last wish. I hope you will not blame me under the nine springs. You have a heroic soul, and you should protect the land and water. Just come and claim my life." For some reason, I felt that there was a gust of wind in front of the grave, and I shivered, and decided to leave immediately.
