Chapter 165： Dreamland

The woman standing behind her seemed to be thirty years old, exuding a soft light, with youthful vitality and mature charm. Shen Wen was stunned and murmured: "Grandma..." She didn't hear her voice, but this thought was obviously heard by the other party. The "old lady" smiled, and she took Shen Wen up in the air twice. Shen Wen felt that every step was very difficult and heavy. Although it was in the void, his body seemed to be trapped in an invisible swamp, and he had a powerful force to drag him down.

The dark wave came and swallowed most of Shen Wen's body. Without the two steps that the old lady took her, Shen Wen would have been in the dark waves. The sorrows of countless people, carrying endless despair and pain, slapped Shen Wen's spirit body. Shen Wen knew that this was the backlash of her resorting to violence, that is, she did not kill people personally, and there are unavoidable consequences. Her consciousness will be torn to pieces under this fierce impact... Shen Wen is finally afraid, but the old lady's body The light enveloped Shen Wen, she said to Shen Wen in her mind: "I am here, none of this will hurt you.".

Sure enough, in the turbulent black waves, Shen Wen felt the emotions and thoughts of the people she affected, but she was not destroyed. She was more empathetic to the actions of those people, and to those who were implicated. A face of innocent people who died. Shen Wen said to the old lady: "I understand that I also hurt people, but I have to do that! What I hate!"

The old lady squeezed Shen Wen's hand vigorously, but Shen Wen seemed to be held in place and could no longer ascend. "Old lady" said to Shen Wen, "Look..." Her other hand was raised and pointed. The sky, following her fingers, opened a passage in the dark and misty place. At the end of the passage, there was a ray of blue light, faintly but indefinitely, falling straight into Shen Wen's consciousness.

Suddenly, Shen Wen felt that everything around her had disappeared, and that beam of light shone through her soul. Although there was no time at this time, it might be an instant, but Shen Wen felt faster than that, her consciousness was like a door or window. Suddenly opened, she was bathed in a bright light. She "saw" the vast auspicious clouds that rose far away, the fairyland like a mirage, and the blue sea of ​​light in it-love full of energy! The power of this deepest love has created countless universes and maintained the existence of everything. This love is so powerful that it is irresistible, and all those who come into contact with its brilliance have to surrender immediately—no existence can refuse to be loved.

Shen Wen felt that she was unconditionally and infinitely accepted in love. She felt extremely happy and peaceful. Suddenly, she understood the true meaning of this love: not only she, but all beings are so deeply loved. All the creatures she knew were accepted and cherished by this kind of love. This great love gives everyone the most precious gift-free choice. It even allows someone to blind their own intellect, stay away from love, and fall into evil. From the overall perspective, even if the creatures choose to be negative, they will still be allowed to survive, because those evolving souls need a ground for training: if they don’t have to face evil, how can they choose kindness and integrity to appear respectable. If there is no critical moment, How can you show nobility by sacrificing yourself? If you don't need to overcome obstacles and realize your ideals, how can you show extraordinary...

Shen Wen understands-the world is actually an examination room. The good and evil seem to be fighting endlessly. Most of the time, the righteous side is always weak, but in fact, this is just a game, those so-called evil creatures. One day, once you turn around and catch a glimpse of the splendor and warmth of this love, you will immediately change your course, and moths will pounce on the embrace of this love. Therefore, the final outcome has long been doomed: great love will definitely win, and the process from the existence of this examination room to the disintegration is a long and turbulent poem.

In this moving long poem, all good and evil will be rewarded. The result is not the goal. The most important thing is how people cultivate their character and learn to love step by step in this process. In the long journey, people will kill in blood and fight in greed...but there will also be countless touching loyalties and dedications, pure and happy. In order to help people pass the exams, there are all kinds of cram schools in the world-countless people of lofty ideals have come for generations to call for peace and kindness, open up people’s wisdom, pave the way for countless spiritual practice in the world, and guide people Awakening, changing the suffering in the world, and speeding up the advancement of the overall soul. Some of them have left behind vast classics, and some have left the simplest and most concise instructions: All you need is love...

Shen Wen sighed that she could not be like those who have attained Taoism, at every moment, be full of love and compassion for every kind of person and thing. Isn't he a narrow-minded person who never forgets his own grievances, wandering for thousands of years and does not want to give up. But although her spirituality has not yet evolved to such a high level, she also began to understand that death is just a dressing, and she can see that people's choices and tastes are not the death of human souls. Moreover, the world goes back and forth. According to the rules of the game, even if she does not take revenge, those who do evil will eventually be rewarded. Those souls who have passed the test will be upgraded to a higher level of spirituality, leaving the love one. The center is one step closer. Whether she stays or not, is the choice she made for her own peace of mind. Now, she has tried her best to let go of the hatred she has held for thousands of years, and no longer need to entangle her past gains and losses.

With this thought, a cloud of black mist drifted away from Shen Wen's chest like countless smoke snakes. Shen Wen suddenly felt that the weight that had imprisoned her disappeared, and she felt extremely relaxed, slowly rising from the black siege. Up, took the old lady's hand and floated upward...

This night, many people had strange but vivid dreams.

Seeing Shen Wen fainted, Su Wanniang hurriedly asked her to find her doctor. Shen Wen also passed out in the past. Su Wanniang didn't know if this was a step in Shen Wen's plan. Soon after the old lady passed away, Yang had been in a state of lack of energy. Su Wanniang and Liu both felt that they could not tell Yang about this. Bring Shen Wen to bed, hoping that Shen Wen will come alive like he used to. Only this time, not only did Shen Wen not breathe, but his body gradually became cold, leaving only a trace of heat in his chest. Su Wanniang guarded Shen Wen and kept crying until she fell asleep groggyly.

She dreamed that she was back to where she was when she was ten years old. Her mother and younger brother died one after another. She found clues from her mother’s handkerchief, then practiced singing and dancing hard to become the leader. On the Qing Dynasty night, she wore colorful dance clothes. , Stab at the prince with a short sword...

Liu dreamed of sending away the child and committed suicide...

Yang dreamed that he was walking into the fire...

Pingyuan Hou Li dreamed that he was blocking his younger son, but still did not protect him. She missed her second son until she watched him walking around in a dress, guessing that he should be able to escape, and then closed her eyes...

Zhang Yunzheng in her dream is also struggling in a small guest shop in a village two hundred miles away from the capital. He dreamed that he was wearing women's clothing. The Imperial Forest Army surrounded his small courtyard. The nursing courtyard and his servants died in resistance. He missed his mother, walked through the inner courtyard, and saw his mother looking at him. Eyes...These are what he saw in the past days, but this time, he also saw his own struggle for many years, until the last painful death... He finally woke up, sat up all of a sudden, and pushed **** Zhang Yunming who was sleeping next to him. : "Wake up! Hurry up! I'm going to set off!"

Zhang Yunming opened his eyes and shook his head vigorously: "Why did I dream that I, the third prince, and Shen San, were shot to death...oh, just follow..."

"Just as she said! I want to return to Beijing immediately! She is leaving!"

Zhang Yunming was puzzled: "What do I mean... why don't I understand..."

Zhang Yunzheng hurriedly got up and dressed, and said: "She is leaving! She is leaving..." There was a cry in his words.

Zhang Yunming also put on clothes: "Who is going where?" He was saying, Zhang Yunzheng had already left, and soon, there was a sound of horses' hoofs, and he went away in the dark.

Zhang Yunming was frightened, and quickly packed up, and went out to shake Zhang Ding Yulan and the rose: "Wake up! Your son is out!"

The three woke up in a daze, Zhang Ding frowned: "Why did I dream that our mansion was surrounded, I was..."

"The Royal Forest Army! The Royal Forest Army came to kill, I'm dead..." Rose said, and Magnolia stammered: "I too... was hacked to death..."

Zhang Ding nodded: "I saw it. Your kid went to hug someone's leg when he died. I gave him a sword in the past to avenge you."

Magnolia was happy: "Really! Thank you so much!"

Zhang Ding said to the rose: "You are the best! The neck was cut in half, and one person was killed with an axe..."

The rose said: "It's great that the man died. It's a pity that Cuckoo, dressed as a maid, could have gone out, but when he saw that we were besieged, he was desperate to death..."

Zhang Yunming was impatient: "Go! Go! Your son has already left!"

A few people hurriedly cleaned up. Zhang Yunzheng was already far away when they left the house. They only knew that Zhang Yunzheng was leading three horses, and it seemed that they were going to ride in wheels. They also took a few more horses, and Zhang Yunming told others to keep up. He took the three young men with him, felt the dark, and chased Zhang Yunzheng.

In the distant Yancheng, many people also have strange dreams again and again. Yan and Shen Jian, who stayed in the room where Shen Jian was discussing, woke up almost at the same time. The two knew what was going on in the dream. In the dark night, they only hugged each other.

Ji Wenzhao dreamed that he was the prince’s staff and had been making suggestions for the prince, but in the end he was stabbed to death by preventing the prince from joining Beirong. When he died, he had remorse and misunderstanding, and mistakenly voted into the gangster... after he woke up He opened his eyes, carefully recalled the scene in the dream on the bed, and finally realized that the original game of life and death was to change the fate of his dream and separate him from the prince. He now knows that it must be Shen Wen's handwriting, and can't help but sigh Shen Wen's original plan again. The slightest loss, the difference is a thousand miles away, a small change at that time, today he stayed in Yancheng instead of dying under the steps of the Prince's East Palace.

At dawn, Ji Wenzhao went out of the Chinese army to look for Ji Yan. When Ji Yan came to Yancheng to look for him, he always felt that Ji Yan was ignorant. Ji Yan didn't cause him any trouble, he was still doing logistical things, but when he thought that Ji Yan was in Yancheng, he had to be careful when defending the city, which made him feel very tired. But at this time, he was thankful that Ji Yan was here.

When Ji Wenzhao arrived at Ji Yan's yard, Ji Yan got up early. Hearing that Ji Wenzhao came back, he hurriedly greeted him. Although Ji Yan was smiling, Ji Wenzhao still saw the traces of her crying. When the two returned to the house, Ji Wenzhao immediately said to Ji Yan: "I can't help you."

Ji Yanqiang smiled and said: "How can you say that as long as you can let me be with you, you are right to live with me..." She was about to cry again: "I have a dream, and I can't sleep with my husband and wife. , You can't die in the same acupoint..."

Ji Wenzhao hugged Ji Yan, and said in a low voice: "It's just a dream. Someone didn't let it happen..."

Ji Yan didn't pay attention to Ji Wenzhao's language problems, nodded and smiled and said, "Really, that was a dream..."

Yan Erguan and his wife were also comforting each other, and Mrs. Yan Er said: "I have a nightmare! I am really scared. In the dream, Bei Rong has arrived near our home. Our daughter committed suicide and we began to flee. Crying while walking..."

Yan Erguan nodded: "Later you and I fell into the water and died on the way to escape."

Mrs. Yan Er patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, we came to the border gate! I would rather be here than in my dreams!"

Yan Erguan was a bit disdainful: "How can things in dreams be taken seriously"

Mrs. Yan Er asked: "Then why did we dream of the same thing?"

Yan Erguan said: "It's just a coincidence, but it's not true."

But some people take the dream seriously, this is Tugu Khan. In his dream, someone opened the north gate of Yancheng, and the Beirong army rushed in and successfully occupied Yancheng. In his dream, Tugu Khan could even smell the ashes and **** air after the city was broken, and he could hear thousands of crying when he broke the city... After he broke the city of Yan, he went all the way south... Later, he became The new emperor of the Southern Dynasty...

Tugu Khan woke up from his dream and was deeply shocked: This is the oracle that the heavens descended on him!

Now that March has entered, he is really anxious.

Yancheng could not be attacked for a long time, and more than half of the 200,000 troops were lost. The surrounding villages have been searched and suppressed many times, and no much food has been found. More than 100,000 people cannot support it for long by slaughtering horses, cattle and sheep. He anxiously waited for the victory of the West Road army. If He Duo attacked the Central Plains, the defenders here heard the news. Once their morale fell, he could attack again. During this period of time there was no news from the West Road, and Tugu Khan was not worried: He Duo had been fighting with him since he was a child, and the sturdy tribes on the vast grasslands were all killed by their fathers and sons. What are these Han Chinese without cavalry in the Southern Dynasty?

In the past few days, inaccurate news came, saying that He Duo was in an ambush and the entire army was wiped out. Although Tugu Khan felt guilty in his heart, he did not want to believe: Shen Jiajun, the strongest regular army in the Southern Dynasty, is now surrounded by Yancheng. The Xiangjun government soldiers in the territory have not fought for many years. How could it be possible to resist the hundreds of thousands of cavalry elites led by He Duo and drove straight forward. There were at most some casualties, and it was impossible to lose. These news are artificial rumors from the Southern Dynasty to disturb his military spirit.

Now this dream has injected strong confidence into him: victory is already waiting for him! He just needs to move forward courageously!

What made him feel even more exciting was that someone ran out of Yancheng and presented the blueprints of Yancheng's defense! Oh my! This is the same as in a dream! There is a maze inside the north gate, no wonder they can hold on. But this time there is a picture, and it will naturally break the other side's fortifications!

Tugu Khan spent three days rectifying the army, lined up and attacked, pretending to attack the west gate, but the main attack was the north gate! He concentrated a large number of troops on the north gate, and he was destined to break the city of Yan from this!

Standing at the head of the city, Zhenbeihou and Ji Wenzhao looked at the northern soldiers gathered in the distance with a heavy expression.

He recalled the scene in his dream. He died in the flames of war. He knew that Yancheng had already run out of food and food. His second son, Shen Jian, was dead, and his eldest son broke through. He did not know his life or death. The court did not help for many years. The stone sank to the sea, no response, his own regret and resentment! Fortunately, it was a dream and it hadn't happened yet. This time, the city was well prepared and he would be able to defend Yancheng. He said to Ji Wenzhao: "It seems that there is going to be a big attack on the city."

Ji Wenzhao nodded: "This is very good. If they don't attack the city for a long time, we won't be able to consume their military power. They'd better attack the North Gate and enter this lost city." In this way, the opponent can be destroyed without spending a lot of arrows.

Zhenbeihou nodded and said, "I led my troops into the lost city."

Ji Wenzhao said hurriedly: "Master Hou doesn't have to be like this. The structure of the lost city is weird, which can completely put our soldiers in a favorable position. And..." He counted the time: "Soon, Master Hou should prepare to go out of the city and pursue them."

Zhenbeihou now feels that Ji Wenzhao is definitely a Zhuge Kongming-level military adviser. He nodded, closed his lips, and watched the black and heavy soldiers over there. If he was destined to die on the battlefield, he would be more willing to die in pursuit of the enemy. In victory.

Shen Yi and Shen Jian walked up from the bottom of the city while speaking quietly.

Shen Yi said: "I had a dream..."

Shen Jian immediately said: "I did too, uh... I think others did too..."

Shen Yi sighed: "It's really exactly the same as the little girl said."

Shen Jian nodded with some worry: "I think something may have happened to the little girl."

Shen Yi was stunned and asked: "Why?"

Shen Jian said hesitantly: "These dreams are probably resentment, she let go..."

Shen Yi ascended to the top of the city and said, "After we have repelled them and attacked the city, we will send people to the capital."

Shen Jian nodded and said, "It's almost time to see."

Shen Yi said, "Or, go back in person."

Shen Jian also thought that he would have to send the Yan family back, but the matter was not over yet, so he said, "Send others back first. When the matter here is over, I will return to the city with... "

Shen Yi didn't understand: "You have to take Military Master Yan with you."

Shen Jian nodded: "Yes, I...I need her..."

Shen Yi stopped saying anything, and began to observe the enemy's movements.

At noon, Bei Rong began a large-scale offensive. A crowd like the sea, shouting and spreading towards the city wall. Compared with the noise outside the city, the city was very quiet, only the main generals shouted: "Don't shoot arrows! Waiting for the signal!" People picked up their arrows and crossbows, raised their longbows, and waited for instructions. The crowd is getting closer and closer, entering the deer branches and other obstacles below the city, there is a sound of war drums on the city, and rainy arrows shoot down from the city...

In a fierce battle, the north gate slowly opened again, and the soldiers who were attacking the city could not resist this temptation, confusion, and some soldiers got instructions from Tugu Khan and gave them blueprints to attack. Entering the north gate, it inspired groups of soldiers to rush into the gate, but as soon as they entered the lost city, they knew that the picture was fake, but unfortunately they could not go out to report...

This offensive lasted for nearly a day and two nights. Tugu Khan was bound to win, and he exhausted all his strength! Didn't the people in the city try their best to resist, and did not give in half!

The north gate was closed several times and opened several times. In the lost city, the soldiers of the Shen family and the sturdy northern soldiers fought fiercely, taking advantage of the terrain and weapons, and annihilated the enemy time and time again. Every time the north gate was opened, the lost city was filled with dead bodies soon. The people in the city formed a team, and after a period of time, they would rush into the lost city to clean up their bodies as instructed so that the lost city could fight again.

The city is chaotic but orderly. Some people transported food and soup to the city, while others transported casualties. Days of fierce fighting left people exhausted. In the city, Zhenbeihou and other generals didn't close their eyes at all. Shen Yi, Shen Jian, Ji Wenzhao and Yan Clan had to rest in shifts because of their confidence.

In the city, soldiers and civilians falling asleep on the ground can often be seen on both sides of the road. Some people have lifted the benches, tables and chairs, and donated bedding for people to rest.

The second official Yan was in charge of the formation and scheduling of civilians. He was speechless and could only point out the names one by one, and the people next to him shouted and commanded him. Mrs. Yan Er and Ji Yan both wrapped their hair, and greeted people day and night to prepare food and help arrange the wounded.

Another day, the sky broke, the torches that had been burning throughout the night were extinguished one by one, and the shouts in the lost city gradually disappeared. The people cleaned up the battlefield again, and the city was replaced with a new round of soldiers.

Ji Wenzhao and Shen Yi went up to the city very mentally and asked Yan who was yawning: "How is there any danger?"

Yan said: "It's still like that, nothing new. They've rested for a while and should come again. It's that Master Hou has a bad temper and always loses his temper with Governor Shen." She looked at the person standing by the city wall with some sympathy. Shen Jian's back.

Ji Wenzhao said: "He hasn't slept for two nights, that's natural."

Shen Yi walked to Shen Jian, patted his shoulder, and said, "Go to sleep!"

Shen Jian turned his head and whispered to Shen Yi: "Master Hou is not allowed to use the crossbow, and the arrows are almost running out. They have boarded the city wall several times, and we relied on the sharp swords and swords to beat them back. Look at Hou. I'm a little worried."

Shen Yi nodded, and whispered: "But I'm not worried."

Shen Jian also smiled, "Neither do I."

The two smashed their shoulders, and Shen Jian greeted the soldiers on the night shift to withdraw, and they were about to go down to the city with Yan.

Zhenbeihou came over with red eyes, and said impatiently: "Don't go! Look, they are coming over there! Don't change defense yet!"

Shen Jian stopped, and Shen Yi said, "They played all night, and they have to take a good rest, otherwise..."

Zhenbei Hou screamed: "No way! Wait for this round of attacks before changing defenses!"

Shen Yi frowned: "It's not holding, we have to attack at any time, and the soldiers have to store their strength..."

Zhenbeihou was anxious: "What attack! Now I have to hold on!..."

Shen Jian secretly pulled Shen Yi, and nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to Lord Hou, don't change defense."

Shen Yi turned his head and looked outside the city. There was a rush of people coming down the city. Ji Wenzhao said to Yan, "Don't you still have gunpowder weapons? Use it now!" Yan hesitated. , Nodded and said: "That thing is amazing..."

Zhenbei Hou Nu: "If it's amazing, we can take it out quickly. We are almost out of arrows. Look, they are near!"

Yan shouted: "Come on up!"

After a while, ten people came up to the city with bamboo baskets on their backs. Zhenbeihou looked behind them and asked unbelievingly: "Just a few people." When the crossbowmen came up, there were more than 100 people.

Yan nodded reluctantly: "These people are enough..."

Zhenbeihou said anxiously: "How can it be enough! It must not be enough! Quick! The enemy is under the city!"

Yan said: "Listen to Lord Hou!" The ten people separated, ten steps each, and stood on the wall. Under the wall, the enemy had put the long ladder against the wall...The gunpowder soldier ignited the black ball in the basket. The city wall was dropped, and then there was a booming explosion, fire shining, iron nails flying, and a scream.

Zhenbeihou was stunned: "What is this?"

Yan said: "It's gunpowder. We only have a hundred, so we keep it for now."

Zhenbeihou arrived at the city wall and looked down from a distance. After a while, he finally said, "Enough..."

In the sound of the explosion, the enemy soldiers under the city retreated like water, leaving only piles of corpses and wounded soldiers. Everyone in the city was silent. The horn sounded in the distance. Shen Yi squinted his eyes and looked: "This is not a signal to attack. !"

Shen Jian said: "It is the recall of all soldiers, they are going to withdraw."

Ji Wenzhao nodded: "It's almost time."

Zhenbeihou said: "Okay, change the defense on the city, the sergeants rest, we will attack as soon as the camp is over there!"

The next day, Bei Rong was out of camp.

Inside the northwest gate of Yancheng, there were crowds of cavalry. Zhenbeihou looked at these obviously well-maintained and vigorous young men with some anger, listening to the joking among them: "Finally it's time for us! After so many years of training, I thought I wouldn't be able to use it anymore!" "That is, practicing in the yard every day for these two months is driving me crazy..." "My horse is going crazy. Well, you can only run around the yard..." "You are scolding me!"...

He said to Shen Yi who was riding over: "You follow me!"

Shen Yi smiled rare: "Master Hou, you have to be behind me this time."

Zhenbei Hou was about to speak, and Shen Jian, who was next to him, smiled and said, "Master Hou, let General Shen take the lead this time. His soldiers have special arrows and weapons." Zhenbei Hou found out that these cavalrymen are all. Wearing a scimitar, the arrows in the quiver are clusters of three. He gritted his teeth and said to Shen Yi: "Let's talk about it after the war!"

Shen Yi raised the corner of his mouth, turned his horse's head, and said to his cavalry: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers at this time! Children, Bei Rong violated me, what should we do!"

The crowd said in unison: "Knock them back!"

The gate of the city opened, and Shen Yi led the cavalry screaming away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Only the infantry mobilized by Zhenbeihou remained inside the gate. Zhenbeihou held back his anger and waved his hand and said: "We...out of the city!" Shen Jian accompanied Zhenbeihou to lead troops out of the city. Ji Wenzhao in the city waved to them and said loudly: "I am waiting for you to return in triumph!" Yan Yan Shi was embarrassed to yell, but he also waved at Shen Jian under the city.

The infantry left Yancheng, and Shen Yi in front had already rushed into Beirong’s barracks. Zhenbeihou shouted: "Speed ​​up! Go ahead!" He whispered to Shen Jian beside him: "Shen Yi really cares too much! Just in case! What if the other party is trying to lure the enemy!"

Shen Jian also whispered: "The third-ranking division said that the capital of Beirong has been lost, and Tugu Khan is like an arrow. There shouldn't be any plans."

Zhenbeihou was surprised: "How is this possible!"

He didn't know, what he said was the same as what Tugu Khan said after he got the news.

The messenger who rushed day and night was tense in the siege and reached the Tugu Khan’s army. He reported to him that a man and horse had entered the capital, and all Khan’s relatives and young sons had fallen into it. adversary. The rebels entangled with the rest of the brothers killed by the Khan, and have already called themselves Khan, and ordered all tribes to no longer provide supplies and personnel for the Khan army...

Tugu Khan was frightened and angry. Just about to order to retreat, he heard continuous explosions on the city wall. He didn't need to wait for the news, he also knew that the opponent had used a terrible weapon, and Bei Rong suffered heavy damage. There is also news that a group of southern troops have come from the southwest, but there is no trace of He Duo. It is hard to come to He Duo!

Suddenly, the battle situation changed, and Tugu Khan realized that this situation was not that he was waiting to capture Yancheng, but more like the other side dragging him here, wanting to wipe out the Beirong army! He immediately let people sound the horn, the sergeants from all sides returned to the north camp and immediately withdrew their troops! He was not so worried that the Southerners would chase him. The Southerners had limited cavalry and had been trapped in Yancheng for so long. He was half-dead from starvation, and he should be able to withdraw to the north easily. He needs to get rid of the rebels who dared to fight for the throne as soon as possible. My wife and children are all captured. If I don’t go to the rescue, I will be regarded as incompetent and weak on the grassland! At this time, if Yancheng was taken down, no one would respectfully follow him in the future, if someone around him chopped off his head and became the king of himself.

Of course, in order to be safe, he let the elite soldiers in the back, in order to resist the pursuit of soldiers. The southerners have a few cavalry, and they should still have the advantage in fighting.

The Northern Rong army pulled out their camps one after another, and when the whole group retreated, the southern cavalry rushed over.

Judging from the eyes of the thousands of troops led by Tugu Khan, the southern cavalry is really too few, how can it be less than ten thousand, and he simply looks down on the southern cavalry! The northern soldiers have been riding horses since they were young, and they have learned about riding skills and flexibility, and are adept at bows and arrows. Although he didn't take it seriously, he knew that he had to give these southerners a hard blow, otherwise they would follow them and it would be extremely troublesome for the withdrawal.

He made the remaining 20,000 elite cavalry line up to meet the impact of the southern cavalry, and all the future ones would be killed!

As soon as the two armies fought, Tugu Khan discovered that something was wrong. When the southern cavalry approached, before reaching the range of Beirong's bow and arrow, they shot a burst of arrows, cutting off the cavalry in front of the Beirong formation. Tugu Khan watched his precious cavalry fall one after another, and his heart ached. He couldn't think of how the southern cavalry, who was not good at riding and shooting, could shoot such a dense rain of arrows. The northern cavalry hadn't fired many arrows before the opponent was in front of him. The southern cavalry cavalry is very cooperative, a group of three, the people who lead the head use the same fork, because there is an extra spear head, there is no need to worry about being inaccurate. The tip of the spear was extremely sharp, and the person who encountered it was either dead or wounded. If the person who fell from the horse could move, he would be beheaded by the cavalry behind with a scimitar. The scimitar they used, because of the large arc, saves a lot of arm strength. There are still people in the cavalry who are in charge of guarding, shooting down enemies who have not been stabbed...wherever these people are headed, no one can beat them. Among the horses and horses that are several times their own, they rushed and left all the way behind. Corpse...

When Tugu Khan saw this, he was really anxious. He sent his infantry quickly, hoping to rescue the elites who were wantonly slaughtered by the enemy in a battle of people. When the infantry on his side moved, Zhenbeihou, who rushed over there, immediately understood his intention, and he personally led the soldiers to intercept and kill Beirong's infantry. Shen Jian was afraid of his father's failure, so he followed Zhenbeihou closely.

The confrontation between the cavalry and infantry of the two sides was in full swing outside the north gate of Yancheng.

Tugu Khan was worried about the capital, eager to withdraw troops, and worried that the reinforcements of the southerners to the west would arrive at some point, and he was a little unwilling to let go of his command and did not dare to fight for a long time. After conquering the city for several days, the troops in the Bei Rong front were exhausted, but Shen Yi’s cavalry had been recharged for a long time. At this time, all of them were vigorous and powerful. They swept back and forth like a scythe, no one could stop them. confidence. The soldiers under Zhenbei Hou Mi also had a high morale due to their success. Zhenbei Hou knew that once Bei Rong retreated, his infantry would definitely not be able to keep up with Shen Yi's cavalry. Shen Yi must pursue it alone. At this time, one more person would be more. Help Shen Yi, so let go of each other, personally swing the knife on the battlefield, inspire the soldiers to fight with all their strength.

In only half a day, Bei Rong was defeated. In the beginning, the Beirong infantry began to refuse to obey orders and fled northward. Then, the Beirong cavalry turned to the north. The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty chased and killed them, and the battlefield became one-sided. Tugu Khan lost control of the army and could only retreat with the army under the cover of his trusted guards.

This chase continued day and night, and people on both sides fell to the ground while running. Regardless of fatigue, Zhenbeihou insisted on heading north until he was shot by a stream of arrows and fell under the horse. Shen Jian, who had been following Zhenbeihou, jumped off his horse and asked anxiously, "Master Hou, how are you?"

Zhenbeihou sat up from the ground, glanced at the arrow that hit his shoulder, and asked in surprise: "I'm still alive, why am I not dead?" Shen Jian hurriedly called a few people and lifted Zhenbeihou to the rear. Go, Zhenbeihou struggled: "No, I have to continue pursuing!"

Shen Jian ignored them, and commanded hurriedly to the south. Beirong’s soldiers were retreating north. Shen Jian and others soon walked out of the battlefield. Zhenbeihou shouted: "Let go of me! Let me go! I have to go back to the battlefield! "

Shen Jian shook his head and said, "Father, we have already reached the border. We have been marching for a long distance, and we have insufficient food and grass. Let the infantry retreat now. General Shen will continue to hunt down with the cavalry."

Zhenbeihou shook his head: "No, I should die in this battle!"

Shen Jian whispered: "Master Hou! Let's go back to Yancheng! I have a letter, and the emperor of the capital ordered that Zhenbeihou and Hepingyuanhou Mansion be stolen." Yan sent someone to send the flying pigeons left from Zhang Ding. Distribute the news obtained through the book channel.

"What! How could it be!" Zhenbeihou widened his eyes, "Our army is at war with Beirong, why did the emperor act like this! How is the mansion?"

Shen Jian hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master Hou first go back to the city and rest."

Zhenbeihou said impatiently: "Tell me! If nothing happens, I will lead my troops to chase Bei Rong, the emperor must not like me not to send troops, I will wipe out Bei Rong this time, so I can show my loyalty to the emperor!"

Shen Jian had no choice but to say: "The letter I received said that my grandmother passed away during the plagiarism." He was shocked when he got the news. He didn't know what happened. How could there be such a big omission in Shen Wen's plan? ! He was distraught and wanted Zhenbeihou to withdraw his troops immediately, but Zhenbeihou had been fighting on the battlefield. He did not dare to speak, fearing that Zhenbeihou was distracted, and now he needed to get Zhenbeihou back to the city, so he had to say.

When Zhenbeihou heard this, he was stunned and stammered: "What...Mother..." He was already almost exhausted when he heard the bad news, and the spirit that supported him suddenly collapsed. Zhenbei Hou spit out. Xue, Shen Jian hurriedly shouted: "Duan Langzhong! Duan Langzhong!" He always thought that his father was a man of iron for his life, and now he understands that everyone has a life, and Zhenbeihou is also a sad person. Shen Jian blamed himself extremely, and ordered the retreat on behalf of Zhenbeihou, and Duan Zeng escorted Zhenbeihou back to Yancheng. However, Shen Yi took two thousand cavalrymen, slaughtered the dead horses along the way, and kept chasing Beirong's army, killing countless enemies.

Finally, one morning, Shen Yi's troops were stopped by a small group of Northern Rong cavalry. This team of cavalry was different from the embarrassed Tugu Khan soldiers they had chased and killed. They were very energetic and neatly dressed. The leader, dressed in black and carrying a long bow, said in Chinese: "We are not fighting with you. I want to see your general."

The vanguard passed the news, and Shen Yi rode to the front of the team. He immediately recognized that this was the sharpshooter Shen Wen had encountered when taking them deep into the hinterland of Beirong.

He saluted him, and Shen Yi responded. He thought it was weird: He was still chasing the enemy a while ago, but at this time, he saluted each other with the Beirong people.

The man in black said, "My brother has already called himself a Khan, and he is waiting for Tugu Khan in front of him. He will fight to the death and avenge my parents and many relatives. But this is my Northern Rong territory, please return to the south, otherwise In order to defend the country, my brother will give up Tugu Khan and come to fight against you."

Shen Yi pondered, if the opponent fights Tugu Khan decisively, Tugu Khan’s men and horses have already lost seven or eight hundred and eighty-eight, and they have been chased for several days. They are bound to be at a disadvantage, and the opponent has a great chance of winning. No need to deal with it yourself. As for his own side to chase the enemy non-stop these days, the soldiers are equally tired. The opponent is clearly prepared. If they are really matched, their chances of winning are not much. But if you retreat, will the opponent also catch up?

The person seemed to see Shen Yi's concerns and gave a deep ceremony and said: "Three years ago, Jun waited a thousand miles to save my brother and my life. This kindness is so great, and we will always remember it! If my brother wins Tugu Khan will inevitably forge true friendship with the Southern Dynasty, treat each other in harmony, and be friendly neighbors to each other."

Shen Yi couldn't believe the promise that followed, but the other party looked sincere, so he had to bet the hearts of the people and said, "Okay, let's not pass it."

He ordered the soldiers to turn around, but he stayed there all the time. When his soldiers moved a little farther away, and the opponent did not pursue them, he reined his horse to turn around. The man suddenly shouted, "May I ask if Duan Langzhong is still in Yancheng"

Shen Yi turned his head and said, "It's still there, what's wrong."

The man said, "It's nothing, please tell him that Bei Rong still remembers the promise he made."

Shen Yi felt that this man seemed to be trustworthy, so he nodded and urged the horse to catch up with the horse team and head south.

Not long after he returned to Yancheng, news came from the north that Tugu Khan was killed by the new Daiqin Khan. He was chopped down to blood and blood. Just as he did with his brother and brother, his body was destroyed. The wolves divide their food. Now the forces of the northern army are almost exhausted, and no one dares to challenge the authority of the Daiqin Khan, so the Daiqin Khan successfully ascended the throne and became the lord of the northern border.

Zhang Yunzheng rushed all the way, changing horses, hurried into the capital, and headed to Zhenbeihoufu regardless. As soon as he reached the gate, he saw white banners full of mourning cloth, just like the scene he saw after Shen Wen was drunk. He got off the horse, and his heart was beating out of his chest. He was about to find someone to tell him, but Su Wanniang sent a white-bearded elder out of the house and said goodbye in the door. The old man was helped to get into the car. Zhang Yunzheng stepped forward to salute and asked: "Ms. Su, what's going on?"

Su Wanniang was already in tears, but she shed tears again when she saw Zhang Yunzheng. She choked and said, "The one just now is the most prestigious doctor in the capital. He said...he said..."

Zhang Yunzheng had a very bad feeling, and asked eagerly: "What are you talking about! It's...Miss Shen Er!"

Su Wanniang nodded and said in tears: "She...she went..."

The situation that Zhang Yunzheng had glimpsed at that time came true, and there was a buzz in his head. In the past two days, he has been traveling day and night without eating, drinking, or sleeping. But when he got here, he still didn't catch up. How could Shen Wen go? That girl who wore a yellow dress and broke into her lonely life, she flew around the house with a sparrow in her hand, her dress flowing like a butterfly... No, earlier than that, she used leaves to face herself The dwarf shadow that warns! Later, the happy girl who happily ate wonton...

He remembered how two people were drawing pictures in the secret room, riding horses together at night when traveling north... How did he hug her in a sea storm... On the mountain behind the temple, he kissed her, and the two of them held hands and walked down. Shen Wen asked him to go early. Come back...but she didn't say goodbye, didn't see herself!

Zhang Yunzheng said angrily: "Little liar!" He closed his eyes and fell to the ground with a puff.
