Chapter 23 Chapter Ten Three Heroes Divide Ways

Yan Fei, Tuobagui and Liu Yu lay down on a mountain on the east bank of Feishui River, north of Huai River, more than 50 li away from Bianhuangji, because they couldn't run anymore. They deviated far from the Yingshui route to Shouyang, and chose dense forests to cover up, swam across the Yingshui and Feishui rivers, and arrived here without stopping, so as to avoid the eyes of the sky and the pursuers of begging Guoren. . Tuobagui was the first to fall to the ground. Yan Fei rolled over and lay on his back, looking at the charming night sky just before dawn, while Liu Yu knelt on his knees, gasping for breath.

At this moment, they feel the preciousness and rareness of life, which makes them cherish the fact that they are alive in front of them even more. Tuobagui's cheek was pressed against the dew-soaked grass, and Kaka couldn't help laughing while panting, slapped his hands on the ground, and said with a smile: Yan Fei, you are really brilliant, the most rare thing is the sudden sudden change Make such a correct choice, otherwise we will lie in the desert beside the corpse, and it will not be in vain for our brothers to meet each other. Kneeling Liu Yu finally couldn't bear the pain in his knees and sat down on his buttocks. Hearing this, he said in surprise: I completely agree with the first part of what you said, but I don't understand what it has to do with whether you are a brother or not?

Tuobagui couldn't stop laughing and said hard: Only people whom I, Tuobagui, can be regarded as brothers by me, don't you understand? Yan Fei looked up at the dawn and felt a warm feeling in his heart. Although his body was exhausted, his spirit was extremely comfortable.He knew that he would never forget this moment, the touching feeling of two people working together to carry out an almost impossible task, overcome all difficulties, and escape from death. For the first time since his mother passed away, he felt that life was so precious, and he could no longer have the idea of ​​dying according to fate.

The three of them kept panting, urgently needing a large amount of air to fill what their bodies lacked. Liu Yu turned his body hard, faced the direction of Feishui, watched the river flow towards Huaishui, and opened up another topic: We may have helped that witch by creating a chance for her to escape. Yan Fei and Tuoba Gui secretly agreed that since she has the ability to avoid the carpet-like search by begging Guoren, and has a magic weapon all over her body, of course she will take advantage of the chaotic situation caused by their breakout and escape, and slip away. The strange thing is that the three of them found that all their hatred for her has disappeared at this moment. This may be the most special thing about An Yuqing. No matter what bad things she does, it seems to be a matter of course. She is an out-and-out witch.

Tuobagui stopped laughing, took a deep breath and said: If I meet her, I will teach her how to look good. Liu Yu laughed strangely and said: How will you deal with her, she is not easy to bully. Tuoba Gui said: "It's because she is not easy to bully that I want to bully her, that's good enough!" Liu Yu looked at him, just as Tuobagui also looked up at him from the ground, when the two of them made eye contact, they laughed heartily, full of eroticism between men and women. Seeing that Yan Fei didn't respond, Tuobagui rolled to his side, supported his chin with his hand, looked at Yan Fei's handsome face, and said in surprise: "What are you thinking?"Do you want to be a hero to save the beauty under the claws of the two of us, but I want to remind you, this is a femme fatale!

Speaking of the last sentence, he and Liu Yu laughed out loud again, and Liu Yu laughed even more, clapping his hands and legs, the situation itself is already ridiculous. Tuobagui laughed until his bones ached, panting: I seem to have never been so happy, and I find everything very funny. Yan Fei finally showed a smile, and said leisurely: The reason is very simple, the most joyful thing is to find it again, especially for our three little lives, so we have tasted the joy that we have never had before. Liu Yu nodded and said: Well said!Hey!You haven't answered Brother Tuoba's question just now.Yan Fei said indifferently: My head is blank, I only know that I am monitoring the sky, so as not to lose it again and then lose it again, and be happy in vain.

Tuoba Gui turned over, looked up at the pale sky like him, and said: What are the two plans? Yan Fei sat up quickly, exercising his muscles and bones, and said: What I want most is to have a good sleep without any disturbance, but it is a pity that I am still in danger, so I hope to go so far. After a moment of silence, Tuoba Gui looked at Liu Yu. Liu Yu understood, knowing that he had something private to say to Yan Fei, and even guessed what he was going to say, and secretly hoped that Tuoba Gui's words would not impress Yan Fei, so he stood up and said : There should be a delicious clear spring nearby, let me look for it.

Went straight downhill. Tuobagui looked at Liu Yu's back, and said to himself: This is a very special southerner, not only has an extraordinary physique, but also has a resolute personality, and he has seen people before, and is brave and resourceful. Yan Fei glanced at him, and said calmly: "He is similar to you in many ways, but also completely different. Tuoba Gui sat up and said: "From your tone, it seems that you don't want to go back to the north with me." Yan Fei reached out and grabbed his shoulders on both sides, and said: I can no longer live the life that I used to live every day, and the people of the Murong clan already know that Murong Wen died at my hands. If I go back with you, you will die You were defeated by the Murong Clan before the weather was over, and even Murong Chui would find it difficult to protect you.Be smart!How can you lose the great cause of restoring the country for me alone.

Tuobagui was speechless. Yan Fei understood what kind of person he was, and even more understood the effect of these words on him, and what he said was indeed the truth.Murong Wen's death is not only hatred for the entire Murong Xianbei clan, but also a stain and shame, and only Yan Fei's blood can wash away this hatred and humiliation. Tuoba Gui looked at Yan Fei, with sincere and deep feelings in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, when one day I, Tuoba Gui, stand firm, you must come back to me." Yan Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Tuobagui was the only person he felt unable to refuse his request, their friendship was established in the era of innocence, nothing can be changed, and it can stand any test.No matter how unscrupulous and ruthless Tuoba Gui was when he grew up, he still loved him so much, he let go of his hands, smiled and said: "I also want to taste a few mouthfuls of sweet clear spring water. I still remember the good days when we played in the mountains and waterfalls." ?

Tuoba Gui pulled him to stand up, smiled happily: If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it.In recent years, I seldom think about the past, only revenge and restoration of the country are in my mind.ha!You are so amazing, even Murong Wen died at your hands, I am so happy. The two of them went downhill in the direction Liu Yu left just now, and passed through a sparse forest. They saw Liu Yu knelt down beside a stream flowing through the forest, with his whole head submerged in the water. Hearing the sound, Liu Yu lifted his head out of the water, and when he saw the two, he stood up and yelled happily, his head and face dripping wet.

Tuobagui opened his arms, smiled and said: My good comrade-in-arms, let me hug you, this is the farewell ceremony of my Tuoba Xianbei clan. Liu Yu laughed, came over to hug him firmly, and said in surprise: You didn't stay to see Fu Jian's ending? Tuoba Gui let go of him, and grabbed his arms instead, with shining eyes, he said: "At this time when Fu Jian's momentum is like a rainbow, I rarely know that chaos is coming in the north, so why don't I go back and make preparations first?" Grab the whip first. Liu Yu said happily: "Good boy!"You are very thoughtful, if Fu Jian wins, you can also be one step ahead and sneak out of the Great Wall as soon as possible. Tuobagui sighed: I hope the situation won't become like that!But if the south is over, you will be ruined. I would rather die than surrender to Fu Jian, let alone escape. Tuoba Gui let go of his hands, nodded and said: Good!Now I finally understand what kind of person Liu Yu is.One day if I can unify the north, we may meet each other on the battlefield, but I will never forget that we were good brothers who fought side by side in the frontier desert. After saying that, he backed away, let out a long laugh, and waved away, going in a chic and decisive way, full of exciting grandeur and pride. Yan Fei stared blankly at the direction where he disappeared, with mixed feelings in his heart, as if he could foresee the violent storm that would be born in the north because of him!If Fu Jian is defeated, the north will be torn apart, and among Fu Jian's heroes, there is only Murong Chui who can be regarded as a strong opponent for Tuoba Gui. Liu Yu's voice sounded next to his ears: Brother Yan, will you follow me back to see Marshal Xuan? Yan Fei thought about it distractedly for a moment, finally remembered the agreement with Xie Xuan, shook his head and said: It is meaningless to go to see you Xuanshuai, I know you better than I do, I will not be of any use anymore, Liu Yu said in amazement: "Where are you going?" Yan Fei showed a dazed look, and said lightly: I don't know.Gaining time is the most important thing, Brother Liu, please don't ignore me, and rush back to Shouyang immediately, otherwise the military plane will be delayed, and it will be lost again. Liu Yu knew he couldn't impress him, so he said goodbye and left decisively. Yan Fei was left alone, came to the stream and knelt down, dipping his head into the cold stream. The half-year-long days when Chang'an carried out the assassination plan involuntarily came to mind. In order to investigate Murong Wen's whereabouts, he pretended to be a son of a family traveling around the world, going in and out of the fireworks place every night, making friends, and finally ambushed and killed him on the street outside the famous brothel in Chang'an under the right opportunity. Although he got rid of the hatred in his heart, he also forged a deep painful scar that would never heal because of the love between men and women!This is another reason why he avoids the wilderness. Now Bianhuangji has become Fu Jian's defense base. Although the world is big, he can't think of another place to shelter.In a place without Xuejianxiang and the first floor, he really doesn't know how to live? At noon on the second day after Yan Fei, Tuoba Gui and Liu Yu broke up, Spy Fei reported to Hu Bin in Shouyang that the vanguard led by Fu Rong was approaching the Huai River, and the vanguard had already passed Ruyin. Hu Bin thought that finally came, and immediately notified Xie Xuan who was still in Shouyang. Xie Xuan listened to Hu Bin's report calmly, then smiled calmly and said: Fu Jian can't hold back!I will help him fulfill his wish, hand over Shouyang to him, and we must retreat to Xiashi City immediately. Hu Bin was still determined to stick to Shouyang, and tried his best to say: According to the spies' estimates, Fu Rong's vanguard army has a strength of 300,000, cavalry is about 200,000, and the rest is infantry. With this strength, It is enough to cross Feishui immediately after occupying Shouyang, march into Bagong Mountain and attack Shixia City. If the two cities fall, we will go to Jiankang from here.When all the towns in the north of the river fall, Jiankang will fall into a passive disadvantage of being beaten. Unexpectedly, Xie Xuan showed a bright smile, and said happily: I just hope that Fu Jian has the same idea as you, and the victory is decided here instead of Jiankang.His original plan was to storm Shouyang with an overwhelming force, and then use another army to ambush any reinforcements that go to Shouyang, or to cut off the connection between Shouyang and Shixia City, and at the same time send other troops to contain Jingzhou Da Sima's elite troops , A three-pronged approach, smashing our counterattack power in one fell swoop, and boosting the morale of the Di Qin army.Relying on the support of the frontier waste collection as a north-south transfer station, we launched a long-term combat operation, encroaching on the towns in the north of the Yangtze River one by one, and making Jiankang lose all barriers. We are bound to collapse without a fight. , impeccable. Hu Bin couldn't help but said: "In this case, why did Marshal Xuan give up Shouyang? If General He Qian can defeat the enemy's troops crossing the Huai River downstream, we might be able to keep Shouyang, and if Da Sima also successfully wins the western front, we will There is a chance to win. Xie Xuan smiled and said: If you were Fu Jian and suddenly got Shouyang without bloodshed, what would you think? Hu Bin was in a daze for a while, and replied: I will see through that Xuanshuai's troops are weak and not enough to hold on to Shouyang, and after winning Shouyang, I will immediately send troops to cross the Feishui River and attack Xiashi City. Xie Xuandao: Are you a bit eager to win?It is not a short journey for the labor division to travel from Chang'an to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Surabaya, and then from Bianhuangji to Shouyang. Hu Bin completely took Fu Jian's position and said: But I must cooperate with the troops crossing the river downstream. If the enemy in Xiashi City is not restrained, the enemy may attack the army that was originally used to pinch Shouyang left and right. Xie Xuan nodded approvingly and said: If your army succeeds in occupying Shouyang, there is a sudden news that you have to wait for the army to gather and recuperate. Hu Bin finally sighed in admiration, nodded and said: I have no choice but to stand still in Shouyang, wait for the army to gather and recuperate, and then plan to cross Feishui eastward. Xie Xuan said happily: General Hu finally understands that Fu Rong's 200,000 elite cavalry are the main force of Di Qin's army. If they are defeated, Fu Jian and others will lose the whole battle.The enemy is Lao Shi's expedition, and suddenly captured Shouyang, which disrupted their original deployment.Not only do I hope that they will speed up the increase of troops, but I also hope that Fu Jian will personally come to command the battle. This is one of the purposes of my letter to Zhu Xu with Liu Yu. Hu Bin didn't understand Liu Yu's secret mission until now, but he was still uneasy in his heart. If He Qian's five thousand elites could not find the Qin army crossing the Huai River downstream, or could not grasp the opportunity to defeat this army, it would be their turn to lose. Lose this battle. Winning or losing is just one step away. He Qian and a dozen of his own soldiers lay in a jungle on the east bank of Luojian, spying on the movements on the west bank of Luojian and the north bank of Huai River, but unfortunately they couldn't find the slightest trace of the enemy. Beside him was Liu Laozhi, who had just come to visit the camp. Because it was related to the success or failure of the war, Liu Laozhi was worried, so he left the navy in the secret place downstream, and sent a letter to Xie Xuan with a flying pigeon, and came to help.His official rank is higher than that of He Qian, and He Qian's troops are commanded by him in disguise. Fearing that the northern cavalry would be so nimble, they only dared to send spies across the Huaihe River and Luo River at night to detect the enemy's whereabouts. . According to their guess, the enemy's surprise soldiers will cross the Huai River at Luokou, sneak up to the west bank of Luojian, and then use the natural barriers of the Huaihe and Luojian waters to set up a strong camp, and then advance westward to assist Shouyang. Grasp the whereabouts of the enemy.If the enemy is allowed to stand firm, they will miss the opportunity, and the Jin army in Xiashicheng will be attacked on both sides. The setting sun gradually sank into the West Mountain, the sky and the earth gradually became dark, and the cold wind blew across the vast area where the two rivers meet. He Qian leaned into Liu Laozhi's ear and said: Tonight is a very important matter. According to information, Fu Rong's vanguard has advanced towards Shouyang, and it is very likely that they will cross the Huaihe River tonight. Therefore, if the enemy has troops to cross the river here, they will also It's about these two nights. I'm going to use all my scouts to observe the enemy's situation. It's impossible not to take some risks. Liu Laozhi sighed secretly, thinking to himself that if a spy was discovered by the enemy, he would take precautions. At that time, to surprise the enemy's powerful army with five thousand soldiers was like hitting a stone with an egg, but there was no other way. At this moment, a figure appeared from the Huai River, and rushed along the east bank of Luojian, using the forest and long grass as cover. If it was a little dark at night, they might be caught by this person's swift and erratic movements hide it. He Qian was about to order his subordinates to intercept and capture alive to see if the enemy was a spy?Liu Laozhi beside him was shocked, and he jumped out of the jungle and shouted: Liu Yu! The man was also shocked, and ran in their direction with a happy expression on his face. It was the young general Liu Yu who had a special mission to go deep into Bianhuangji. He went straight to Liu Laozhi, panting, and said, "My subordinates have discovered that Liang Cheng's 40,000 troops are planning to cross the Huai River upstream three miles from Luokou tomorrow night. Tomorrow night is the best way to raid them." timing. He Qian, who came to the side of Liu Lao, looked at the former. He didn't understand at all that Liu Yu not only knew that General Di Liang Cheng was leading the army, but also knew that the enemy's force was 40,000. Liu Yu continued: "They are all cavalry. I chose to march in the sparse forest area. Fortunately, I searched wholeheartedly and paid attention along the way. Finally, three miles away from the Huai River, I found their vanguard troops cutting logs to build rafts.They are poor and lacking horses, and although they are numerous, they are not to be feared. However, if we let them cross the river and set up a stronghold, we will have no chance. Liu Laozhi made a decisive decision and ordered He Qian to rush back to the camp immediately, and set up five thousand horses to cross Luojian tonight.The Beifu soldiers only have 8,000 cavalry troops. If these 5,000 fine cavalry are defeated in this battle, the cavalry troops of Ruo Beifu soldiers will be finished. He Qian took the order and went. Liu Laozhi said to Liu Yu: "While there is still time, you can tell me the details of this trip without any omissions." Liu Yu secretly convinced Xie Xuan, if Xie Xuan had not had the foresight to deploy troops here, even if he had grasped the enemy's precise movements, he would have missed the opportunity, what a waste!
