Chapter 733 The decisive battle before the decisive battle (2)
Chapter 733 He is not
In the midst of a ruined wall, in front of half of the dilapidated houses collapsed, Wu Bushan looked at the weeping willow swaying in the night breeze in the village, and was stunned. The willow leaves had almost fallen, and the thousands of soft branches seemed to have no grace of summer. In the cold night in late autumn, it seemed a little solemn.
"What a pity."
"It's so gratifying."
He said two sentences, with the sounds similar, but the meaning was completely opposite.
Fei Liu, who was standing beside him, didn't understand. He thought that the two words he said were a pity. So he remembered the arrow he shot at Li Shimin, and his regretful expression immediately filled his face. Until now, he was still a little difficult to let go. He kept thinking that if the arrow shot Li Shimin's throat, the situation would have been very different at this time. Han Shi'e was dead. If Li Shimin died again, no one would need the lord to lead the army to come in person, Li Shimin's men would be like a collapsed snow mountain.
Therefore, he felt it was a pity that he was extremely sorry.
What a pity.
He sighed in his heart. If his shooting skills were more sophisticated, he would definitely aim at the throat that would be killed instead of the heart that would hit him more easily. There is no doubt that even though Li Shimin was wearing all armor, the thin layer of chain armor on his neck would definitely not be able to block the armor-breaking cone.
What he didn't know was that since Li Shimin met Li Xian, he learned one thing he should learn the most, that is, fear of death.
Li Shimin knew that Li Xian had many ways to save his life. The deer-skin bag on Li Xian's waist was like a treasure chest, and he had a soft hedgehog armor on his body. Not to mention the feather arrow, even if the horizontal knife was directly chopped on his body, it might not hurt him. But Li Shimin hurriedly escaped from Chang'an City. He had no place to find a soft armor like Li Xian, but he could hide a heart-protecting mirror in his clothes.
Although the function of a heart protection mirror is not as good as that of a soft hedgehog armor, it can also save your life.
"I should have shot Li Shimin's throat at that time."
Fei Liu said.
"You've done it well enough, and your shooting skills are good enough."
Wu Bushan turned his head to Fei Liu, smiled and said, "Don't always think about the bad side of things. You can't go back and change anything that has happened. Since you haven't been able to shoot Li Shimin to death, why do you always think about what you should do at that time? You can think of this, but not for regret... Remember what you can think of, and you will naturally use it when you kill someone next time."
"But if I kill Li Shimin, there is no need for the lord to come to Xiangyang."
"You're wrong."
Wu Bushan said: "Even if there is no Li Shimin, the lord will still come to Xiangyang. Because there is not only one Li Shimin here, but also one Xiao Xian. What the lord wants is the cause of dominating the world, not half of the country. How can he allow others to be kings and emperors in this world?"
He patted Fei Liu on the shoulder and said, "So you don't need to be so frustrated. After all, if you hadn't shot Li Shimin's arrow, the situation on that day might not have been so chaotic, maybe... Li Shimin would have died at the hands of Han Shie. But think about it seriously, if Han Shie'e survived, would it be better than Li Shimin?"
"They deserve to die!"
Fei Liu clenched his fists and said.
"Yes, they deserve to die."
Wu Bushan said seriously: "From the perspective of the Military Academy, all those who stand in the opposite position of His Highness Yan should die. Regardless of whether they have done evil things or not, whether they are good people. But at some times, the damn person dies when he deserves death is the most perfect."
"Fast head...I don't understand what you mean."
Fei Liu asked in surprise.
"I just said it was a pity. It was a pity. The rebellion in Li Shimin's camp was controlled so quickly. I thought Li Shimin would lose more. Fewer people died, and the rebellion ended too quickly. The combat power of the soldiers under Li Shimin's command was preserved by 70%. This is a pity."
"I said it was very happy because we didn't do well. Maybe someone would do it well... Si Shisan killed Han Shi'e, but did not take the opportunity to kill Li Shimin... Although I haven't completely figured out what he was going to do now, what is certain is that he must have a big plan. What he wants is not only Li Shimin's life, but also everything about Li Shimin."
"Stand Head, will Si Shisan betray?"
Fei Liu asked with some concern.
"Rebellion?"
Wu Bushan laughed silently, then shook his head and said, "He is not from our Military Affairs Office, nor from the lord. Who did he rebel? He is just a person who is ready to avenge himself. He entered Li Shimin's army, not by us, but by himself."
"Where is the saying of rebellion?"
Wu Bushan smiled and said, "There are many kinds of rebellions in this world, but there are almost no one who betrays him."
...
...
On both sides of the official road, the endless camp tents looked like an uneven mountain bag. The lights were brilliantly illuminated the night sky within a radius of more than ten miles. The soldiers patrolling the camp were clearly dressed and armored, and they walked by with their chests high. On the outside of the camp, there were many scouts hiding in the dark and guarding, and there were also cyclists flying back and forth.
Although it is certain that there are no enemies within a radius of hundreds of miles in this area, the camp's defense is meticulous. The general Pei Xingyan, who is on duty, sat in his tent to drink tea. For people like him, drinking tea is definitely not a pleasure. He would rather drink the worst quality wine than drink the most expensive tea.
But whenever he was on duty, Pei Xingyan never drank alcohol, only drank tea.
Tea is very refreshing and refreshing.
The taste is slightly bitter and can wake up the mind.
Pei Xingyan would frown every time he took a sip. He could tolerate or even enjoy the spicy taste of the strong wine, but could not bear the slight bitterness of the tea. Although he knew that nothing would happen, Pei Xingyan would not be lazy to go to bed. Every other hour he would walk out of his military tent and take his personal soldiers to patrol the camp.
This is a habit developed in ten years of war. If you don’t want to die without understanding, you will take every battle seriously, even every day, even if it’s a day without war.
After drinking the tea in the pot, Pei Xingyan planned that the time was almost over. He put on his iron helmet and walked out of the military tent with a pair of copper hammers. Dozens of personal soldiers who also used hammers followed him closely and strided forward. The night was already very dark. This was Pei Xingyan's second inspection tonight, and it should have been past midnight.
But late at night, when he walked to the Yan King's Army not far from the tent of the tent of the tent of the King of Yan, Pei Xingyan saw the figure who was weaker but stubborn again. The man was not tall, thin, and wearing an inappropriate leather armor, so he looked a little funny. What he was doing at this time also seemed a little funny. But neither Pei Xingyan nor his personal soldiers would think that person was funny.
He is drawing his sword.
Draw the knife, then put it in the sheath. Draw the knife, then put it in the sheath.
If Pei Xingyan walked closer, he would definitely see the pain between the young man's eyebrows. His arms were swollen and high, his legs were trembling uncontrollably, his mouth had bitten and blood was flowing out, and his neck was as stiff as petrified, but he was still repeating the action of drawing the knife.
"The lord has accepted a good disciple..."
Pei Xingyan sighed at the young man's figure and continued to walk forward. He had heard that when the lord followed General Daxi to learn swords, he was also suffering and completing these boring actions every day. He was not a master of using swords, but he knew that this was to exercise the strength of his arms and the speed of his reaction, but such intensity of training was very likely to ruin his body.
Just after Pei Xingyan walked out for more than ten steps, he heard a clanging sound from behind him. It was the sound of a sword falling from the ground, which seemed particularly crisp in the quiet night.
He shook his head again without stopping.
...
...
Ye Huaixi, who fell to the ground, tried to stand up several times, but failed. His right arm was swollen and trembled involuntarily, and it was very violent. His left hand was covered with knife marks, which made people feel bloody. Not every time he was sheathed, he could achieve accuracy, so the left hand where he held the scabbard was cut.
His legs could no longer stand up, and his hands on the ground gradually lost their last bit of strength. With a plop, Ye Huaixi fell to the ground and knocked heavily on his jaw.
"You are not him, why do you have to force yourself to repeat his path?"
At some point, Jiaer supported Ye Huaixue and walked over. Looking at the boy who was lying on the ground in front of him, gasping for breath, like a monster who had just crawled out of the ground, Ye Huaixue couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
"You are different."
She said.
After breathing for a long time, Ye Huaixi had the strength to raise his head and look at Ye Huaixiu: "I know I am different from my husband... but I don't think there is any problem with what you said. Is physical differences the key to success or failure? I don't think so... The reason why I have to take the same path as my husband is because he succeeds."
She said seriously: "You know, I need to succeed. The gentleman said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapon. My own body is my weapon, and this weapon must become sharp as soon as possible."
Ye Huaixue originally wanted to say that you were not from the Ye family, but he was as paranoid as the Ye family. But then he thought that this young man was with Ashi Duoduo all day long, and this paranoid came from the Ye family.
"Jia, help him to rest."
Ye Huaixue said lightly, and did not continue to persuade him.
"No..."
Ye Huaixi struggled to stand up by himself, then picked up the horizontal knife as a crutch to stabilize his body.
“It’s three times short.”
He said.
Then he drew his knife, put it into the sheath, and his body fell down again.
He fell to the ground and gasped, murmured, "It's still a short time... twice."
Ye Huaixue shook his head and walked slowly into Li Xian's tent. Looking at the young man sitting under the lights and reading quietly, Ye Huaixue said softly in a tone: "You have picked up a good disciple."
She sat down not far from Li Xian and said with a smile: "Daxi Changru will still mention it now. When you followed him to the grassland to learn art, it seemed that Ashina's association rate and you were the same person, and they were stubborn and conceited to the core. I don't know if Daxi Changru knew that he had such a disciple, should he shake his head and smile bitterly or be proud?"
Li Xian smiled, without an answer.
Ye Huaixue sighed and said, "Maybe I shouldn't have told him about you. I just didn't expect that he actually has this perseverance. There seems to be not many people who can persevere among the people I know."
"You can tell him more when you're fine."
Li Xian said in a gentle tone: "Since Duoduo promises to make him mature, I can't really do nothing. Sometimes I can't just look at it with my own eyes, but I can't really understand it. I also need to listen... You know, I will never tell my past as a story, because... it seems that there is not much joy in it. Sometimes I am very cowardly... afraid of memories."
Ye Huaixue was slightly stunned, then nodded: "It's better to have a successor, just think he has inherited your story."
Li Xian slowly raised his head, looked at the petite figure outside and said seriously: "Luckily he is not... Otherwise I will kill him. I don't want to have such an enemy on the grassland in the future."
PS: I felt very cold when I woke up in the morning. I really had a fever. I was so coughing that I was so happy that I wanted everyone to be healthy and stay away from illness.
