Chapter Nine Yin Yang Zhuge’s Death (2)
"Master General! Zhao Nan has already met Zhu Mu." Chen Yu rode his horse to Lu Ping and said.
"Well, is your highness still adapting?" Lu Ping asked, licking his chapped lips, licking his damn prairie, it's already March, and it's still very cold at night. There has been snow falling in recent days.
"Your Highness is fine, but we have to find the water source as soon as possible. The soldiers don't have much water."
It’s not that there is not much water, but that Zhuge Xingchen did it too well, and all the water sources were polluted by him. Although it was not poison, diarrhea was even more harmful.
"The people from Mingjiansi are already looking for this damn Zhuge Xingchen!" Lu Ping cursed Zhuge Xingchen angrily and looked at the vast grassland.
"Jusman just now said that he could move to the Dege division. He had sent someone to contact the Dege division." Chen Yu hesitated for a moment and said it. Gusman did this for the sake of the army, but he did not receive a military order.
"Forget it, Zhuge Xingchen did this and found our traces. It would be nice to go to the Dege tribe. Tell Gu Siman and let him lead a team of troops to quickly approach the Dege tribe." Lu Ping did not want to and was willing to pursue the matter of making decisions privately at this time.
After a while, the news that the army was biased towards the Dege tribe spread. In fact, this was done on purpose by Lu Ping, who wanted Zhuge Xingchen in the Shiqu tribe to believe that he had been dragged down and could only go to the Dege tribe to repair it. If Zhuge Xingchen could be allowed to encircle the Dege tribe, it would be spared from the hard work of the army in search of a decisive battle on the grassland.
"Taishou, you always say that the people in the Central Plains are smart. I think they are just like this!" The left-wing king Gao Shuoyanhe said disdainfully.
After Zhuge Xingchen and King Shiqu escaped into Bayan Mountain, they convinced King Gaoshuo with their own flawless tongue. King Gaoshuo was very eager for the debauchery of the Central Plains and the singing and dancing of the swallows. They named Zhuge Xingchen as the Grand Tutor, and even King Shiqu was named the commander of the Gaoshuo Weishuo Army.
"King, opposite us are the generals of the Montessori. We have suffered losses in Geng Chao. These people are no worse than Geng Chao." Zhuge Xingchen suppressed the disgust and unhappiness in his heart. He was very worried about Gaoshuo people's arrogance.
"Geng Chao is just lucky, the right-wing king is a waste. If the king's younger brother had not sent it to the wolves as food, I would have been unmatched in the grassland. Even if the opposite side is Meng Yan, what's the fear of you?" Gao Shuoyanhe looked down on the people of the Central Plains. For many generations of the Central Plains wanted to cross Bayan Mountain to conquer Gao Shuo people, but everyone retreated in shame.
"The king is mighty. This time the Montessor sent out the mighty general Lu Ping and Meng Yan's second son. If you can take them down and enter the Central Plains, it's just around the corner!" Zhuge Xingchen tried hard to suppress his temper and flatter him.
Gao Shuoyanhe snorted coldly, glanced at Zhuge Xingchen and said, "If the Grand Master wants to attack Jinchuan City, then go. I am not a ignorant person. I don't want the things you did before to be wasted. I will give you 20,000 cavalry to take down Jinchuan City and wait for my army there!"
"Thank you, the old minister, I will live up to my entrustion!"
It is not a problem to ride on the grassland for 20,000 elites, but Zhuge Xingchen was worried about Meng Yan's military use habits, and he would leave a side-minded teacher who had no orders to wander no matter what.
According to the information, this partial division was led by Di Xin, which is troublesome. Zhuge Xingchen was most concerned about Zhou Ce and Di Xin in the Western Sichuan Xuan Army. Zhou Ce had been transferred. He thought Di Xin would be the commander of the central army, but now he was transferred to Lu Ping to take over the command of the central army. It would be difficult to get Di Xin to lead the partial division alone. However, Meng Yan sent his son to the central army, which aroused the interest of Gao Shuoyanhe.
"Taishi, are we really going to Jinchuan?" asked carefully.
Since Chengdu escaped, fewer and fewer people have followed him. The only few relatives and servants have died almost all these years. Zhuge Xingchen has long regarded them as family members, and his previous status as master and servant is gradually disappearing.
"Go, if we want to go back to Chengdu, this is the last chance. If Gaoshuo people fail this time, they will not get out of Bayanshan again. Of course, it is not certain whether that lunatic Meng Yan will go up." Zhuge Xingchen said very sad.
The cold wind on the grassland mixed with snowflakes blew away Zhuge Xingchen's white hair. He was old very fast over the years, and the people around him kept dying and escaping. These were thanks to Quan Bo and Meng Yan. After the news that Quan Bo was under house arrest arrived, Zhuge Xingchen was rarely drunk. Now his enemy is only Meng Yan. Although he understood that Meng Yan's strength is not something he could compete with, as long as he could not live in vain for his lifetime!
Although Lu Ping was a political idiot, he was a top general in the Daxuan Army in military affairs. The army was well cultivated in the Dege army. Lu Ping even drank a pot of wine every day. He was waiting, waiting for the rioters to siege him.
"Your Highness, what is the General of the Condor? Are we looking for a decisive battle between the rioters? What is this?" Shen Yu asked Meng Jingyi in a low voice.
Meng Jingyi is still struggling for his lamb legs. Recently, he has learned new roast lamb legs and hunting skills with many elderly people in the tribe, and has established a deep friendship with the people of the tribe. It can be seen from the lamb legs in the tents in the past few days that almost every day, there will be herders looking for King Yong to drink wine, barbecue and chat, and also give him a lamb legs.
"He is the head coach of the central army, so he naturally has his plan. Why are you anxious? Don't worry, even if you lose, we will be fine. What do you think Jing Mu and An Gong are doing?" Meng Jingyi's concentration on lamb legs is greater than that of war.
"What do you mean is that we are actually surrounded by the chaos army?" Shen Yu stayed by Meng Jingyi for a long time and his mind was very fast.
"I'm not stupid. When Lu Shuai changed his marching route, I knew what he wanted to do. No one happened to be chatting today. You can chat with me."
Seeing that the prince was not nervous, Shen Yu relaxed and sat on the ground and picked up a flesh-cutting knife and started eating independently. Meng Jingyi's mouth moved slightly, and the kid cut the freshest piece.
"Old Shen, do you know why my father sent Lu Ping over?"
"I don't know, most of the generals of our dynasty are in Jiangxia, Hanzhong and Changsha, and western Sichuan are naturally in a tight position." Shen Yu, who was full of oil, said.
Meng Jingyi said with disgust: "What you said makes sense, but what western Sichuan needs is a powerful general, a reckless commander. Whether it is Jiangxia's coach Xuan, Husband, or even Uncle Eleven, they are all people who love soldiers as much as their sons. This is not suitable for the grassland. Your life in the grassland is not short. When did you see Dihou merciless?"
Di Xin's cruel means immediately flashed in Shen Yu's mind. No matter what, no matter how many lives he died at Di Xin's hands, he always killed foreign races who did not cooperate.
Seeing Shen Yu being surprised, Meng Jingyi cut off the last piece of fresh meat and put it on his plate and said, "Although Lu Shuai is not outstanding among the generals of our dynasty, he cannot underestimate his command ability. If he had not been trapped in political disputes, his status would not be lower than that of Xuan Shuai and others."
"So Your Majesty re-activates him, but my subordinates think that Lu Shuai is thinking a lot and always wants to win the credit?" Meng Jingyi had some questions.
"Yes, this is his weakness, and why I am in the central army." Meng Jingyi looked sad and said to himself that he prefers to fight on the battlefield like a general rather than maintaining national identity here.
That night, nearly 100,000 elite cavalry were slowly approaching for 80 miles outside the central army of Dege's army. The horse exploration officer rarely cooperated with the Mingjian officer. One of them said: "Sir, they are here!"
Mingjiansi's commander held a grass on his face and said, "Fuck! When we die, we will report it to the commander immediately."
A spy spyman, a scout in the army, everyone knew the importance of the matter, and a team of horse exploration officers quickly disappeared in the night.
Di Xin, who had been wandering on the grassland, felt the smell of Zhuge Xingchen with his sense of smell, and Zhuge Xingchen also perfectly avoided Di Xin's army three times with his years of experience.
However, Di Xin was not a clay sculpture. He soon found Zhuge Xingchen's traces at the Rangkou. He immediately led the army into the grassland in person. Two days after discovering the traces, he finally fell on Zhuge Xingchen.
Zhuge Xingchen did not hide because Jinchuan was behind him. If Di Xin could be solved in Rangkou, Jinchuan City would be basically the thing in his pocket, so he rectified the army and horses to move out of the grassland. Now both sides are the most tired times. The so-called brave people who meet on a narrow road refer to this moment.
Both sides understood what formation and any strategy were useless at this time. They drew their swords to face each other, fighting for endurance and physical strength.
Zhuge Xingchen's subordinates were men who had been on the plateau all year round, and such fatigue could be restored quickly. Although most of Di Xin's subordinates were men from the Central Plains, they were not much worse than theirs in survival and fighting on the grassland all year round.
Di Xin was still very excited to see the strange man in his majesty's mouth. After the two sides set up a battle, Di Xince immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Daxuan Jinchuan General Di Xin, please see Mr. Zhuge!"
Zhuge Xingchen was not vague and urged him to come forward and said politely: "Di Xin? It is his honor to have someone like you under Meng Yan!"
"Sir, I'm sorry! Your Majesty simply strips me of my slightest moments. It's my luck to have my current status."
"Hahaha! OK! Someone won't talk nonsense with you anymore, let's start!" Zhuge Xingchen was unwilling to have a verbal dispute, so he turned around and returned.
Di Xin turned around and stopped, shouting loudly at his subordinates: "The Grand Marshal was besieged in the Dege army! We need to fight quickly! Everyone! Come with me, do you dare?!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" An unprecedented energy burst out from the Daxuan army. Everyone knew that this was about to be a tough battle, a battle that would never end.
In an instant, the two sides met together. Di Xin's sword was stained with blood. Zhuge Xingchen's sword was also rolled up, and Da Xuan'erlang's blood soaked his battle robe.
Until the sun sets and the battle between the two sides ends, no accidents happen, no reinforcements help, no one wins, and no one loses, Di Xin's hands are trembling, and Zhuge Xingchen is almost standing with support from his personal support.
The entire Rangkou grassland was filled with blood, and blood formed a trickle of water on the ground, eager to gather together.
"Sir, stop the troops!" Di Xin shouted.
Zhuge Xingchen closed his eyes and became much older in an instant. He held his breath in his chest and responded: "Tell Meng Yan! I'm defeated! I hope he treats Zhuge well!"
Zhuge Xingchen was desperate, and suddenly his throat became sweet and a mouthful of blood spurted out. A generation of heroes fell down like this. There was no shame, only endless sadness.
Di Xin bowed to Zhuge Xingchen and said weakly: "Return to Jinchuan..."
