Chapter 180 New and old generals
After coming out of the gambling arena, there are no pedestrians on the street, but Dao Chongtian is still holding a horse waiting for Liu Shian.
Liu Shi walked out secretly and said, "I thought you ran away."
"You haven't given me my salary yet, how can you run away?"
Dao Chongtian threw a bag of silver to Liu Shian and said, "Win 100 taels, here is 200 taels, and a point is not bad."
Liu Shi secretly took the money and said happily: "Win 100 taels, but lost 50 taels a few days ago, that means he made 50 taels. He didn't lose money or lose money. Finally, he didn't do a loss. Let's have a good meal."
The two of them walked towards the inn from the night.
At this time, a woman looked at Liu Shian from the night, and Dao Chongtian and the other side, then walked to a long street on the other side, came to an inn, walked straight to a Tianzi room on the third floor, knocked on the door, then pushed the door open, closed the door again.
At this time, the light in the room finally illuminated the woman's face, one of the two women around Li Changying.
In the room, there are wooden tombs and several big men.
The woman who came in said, "Herando pays homage to General Tuoba Mutuo."
Mu Taku said: "Get up, how about today?"
Helando said: "Helanyan and I are with Li Changying, but today there is a talented man from Liu to find Li Changying and ask about his identity as a general."
Mu Tuo said: "What did you ask?"
Horando said: "I didn't ask anything, and said that in some time, the general will be arranged to meet this talented man."
"Talented man? Literary man? A bunch of weak ants, not worth mentioning." Mu Tuo didn't care.
Just as these people were talking, someone outside the door knocked on the door.
The few people around Mu Tuo subconsciously drew their swords, but Mu Tuo waved his hand and said, "Our old general is here, it's okay, please open the door."
"Squeak!"
A sword appeared in the crack of the door, and then a figure walked in, closed the door again, turned around, and looked at the people in the room.
It turned out to be Dugu Zheng!
Dugu Zheng looked at Mu Tuo, and after a long time, he also bowed and said, "The sinner Dugu Zheng, pay homage to the general."
Mu Tao stood up and helped Dugu Zheng, who was about to kneel down, grabbed Dugu Zheng's hand with both hands and said, "Old General Dugu, why should you do this great gift?"
After Mu Tuo helped Dugu Zheng up, he moved a chair behind Dugu Zheng and said, "Please sit in the old general."
Dugu Zheng finally surrendered on his slightly vicissitudes of life. Old horses are old and heroes are no longer there. This is the time.
Mu Tuo said: "The old general, it seems that he is old. I haven't used all my strength today."
Dugu Zheng said, "I am indeed old and can't compare to General Mutuo. I am determined to drive away the mountains and rivers."
Mu Tuo suddenly laughed and said, "Old General, I know that you have not used all your strength. How could General Dugu, who once dominated the Great Wei with his sword skills from the Central Plains, be vulnerable? Do you think?"
Mu Tuo's last words lowered his voice, as if he was very dissatisfied with the past and the present Dugu Zheng.
Dugu Zheng also remembered some past events as he heard these words.
Dugu Zheng, a native of the Northern Wei Dynasty, abandoned the Northern Wei Dynasty because he was tired of war and came to the state dynasty and hid in the fourth county of Dongzhou.
He was once a arrogant general in the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was once more than ten thousand people. He led the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty to make the Daling difficult. In the years when he was at the current general on the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Wei war against Daling was also half the winner.
He used to be a tiger, but because of killing, seeing too many deaths and blood, he finally began to think of fighting. However, his thoughts had just emerged, but they were rejected by the Northern Wei royal family.
Dugu Zheng began to escape from the battlefield, was wanted by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and became a criminal.
Once a hero becomes a sinner, it is just because of his disapproval of war.
Those past events are vivid in my mind. The memories of galloping on the battlefield to kill enemies, those riding horses, raising flags, and waving swords, and shouting to the sky are presented one by one. But what comes here is the cruelty of war, the horses and corpses are wrapped around the world, the family is destroyed and the people are destroyed, and all the heroes are annihilated.
Dugu Zheng sighed and said, "General, I am old. If I have mercy on me, I will let me die alone in Dongzhou. The Great Wei Kingdom has no longer Dugu Zheng, and there is only one old swordsman in Daling."
Mu Tuo said: "You have treason, you have become a deserter, you have become a general who escapes. Do you think the Great Wei Kingdom should be sympathetic to you and should let you go?"
Dugu Zhengdao: "It is not worth merciless to die by relying solely on the general's disposal."
Mu Tuo clapped his hands, and a scroll of sweat was handed to Mu Tuo's hands.
Mu Tuo said: "I came from the north all the way, not to collect your body, but to get you back to the Great Wei. Now Wei needs you, this is Your Majesty's will and a gift to you."
Dugu Zheng did not go to pick up the scroll, and his face remained calm and said, "I am old, really old, without those ambitions, and I have no face to return to the Great Wei Kingdom."
Mutao stood up, turned his back to Dugu Zheng, and said, "Do you know, what is the situation today?"
Dugu Zheng refused to speak.
Mu Tuo said: "In December last year, the gods blessed my Great Wei and punished the cruel Daling Kingdom through great power. They killed our people and seized the land of our people. They were eventually punished. More than 100,000 Daling Army was buried in our land in a burial of heaven and earth, allowing our Great Wei to regain the initiative in the war. Our Great Wei can now overthrow Daling and unify this world. Why don't you help?"
Dugu said, "General, if you think about the Great Wei, you shouldn't come here to find me, but to fight the enemy on the front line. Do you also know how the conscription of Daling was carried out? There are tens of thousands of troops across the river in Dongzhou alone and head to the north."
Mu Tuo said: "So what? The Great Wei territory has countless people. We are strong soldiers and horses. We are the favorites of God. Daling will inevitably be defeated by our iron cavalry."
Dugu Zheng is silent again.
Mu Tuo said: "Old General, you are also a person of temperament. You seem to have married and have children in this East Continent, and your son is in a good year."
Dugu's face, which was still unchanged, finally became more bloody. He said: "General Mu Tuo's methods are also extremely despicable."
"Some talents cannot completely disappear with time. The reappearance of the general will definitely boost morale for me, Great Wei, and it will be useless to leave. The methods are despicable, and if they are useful, then what if? The men of Great Wei can bend and stretch, what are the plans for the old general?"
Mu Tuo had some smiles on his face, which looked very ferocious, and he handed out the imperial edict in his hand.
Dugu Zheng had not moved for a long time, and his sword was unsheathed and returned to the scabbard. A trace of hair fell. Dugu Zheng picked up the scroll and said, "If next time, I dare to threaten me with my son's life, even General Mutuo will be killed under the sword."
