longhanguan

In an ordinary ward in the military camp, Shi Lie, wearing a thin white lining, leaned against the bedside with dull eyes.

Through the white clothes, the blood stains on Shi Lie's body from the golden soldiers were still vaguely visible, which was a bit shocking.

But it wasn't the scars that made Shi Lie uncomfortable, and he wasn't afraid of the pain. It was his fourth brother who died, and almost everyone in his family died. The disaster befell him so suddenly.

The Longhan Gatekeeper, who was originally quite plump, has become visibly thinner and haggard in these days.

Wang Shouren held a bowl of light brown medicinal soup and sat by the bed silently, just feeding him spoonfuls of the soup.

The smell of herbal medicine was very strong in the house, and there were some freshly replaced bloody gauze piled next to it.

"Shouren." Shi Lie swallowed a sip of the decoction and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you dissatisfied with many of the things my brother has done over the years?"

Wang Shouren's hand holding the bowl shook slightly but made no sound.

"I know that you have always been a person with backbone and ambition. You have Liaodong in your heart. I also know that you let go of the rebels. From the beginning to the end, you never wanted to sacrifice your life for the Jin people." Shi Lie looked up at the roof and said to himself

He said: "But in all these years, you have never said a word "no" to your elder brother's decision."

Wang Shouren slowly put the soup bowl in his hand aside and whispered: "I almost starved to death, but it was my eldest brother who gave me a life. Over the years, my eldest brother had nothing to say to me, and once he even took a knife for me, which was quite a big deal.

Yu saved two of my lives. So in the past, I did whatever my eldest brother said, and it will still be the same in the future, without any complaints."

Wang Shouren, who had not even frowned in the face of the Jin siege, was a little scared at the moment. He was afraid that his eldest brother would still be unwilling to surrender to the Northern Liang Army.

When the time comes, how will you choose between family, country, loyalty and righteousness?

"The fourth child is dead. This boy was dressed in rags when he first met me. He opened his mouth to eat. At that time, we were still bandits in the mountains and didn't have much food left. He could eat four large pancakes in one breath.

It’s like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.” Shi Lie laughed miserably.

The tip of Wang Shouren's nose felt sore, and the tragic scene of the fourth child's death appeared before his eyes again.

"At that time, we robbed the common people, the rich, and the golden soldiers. Although we didn't have much money, we lived a very comfortable life." Shi Lie said melancholy. The scene of the brothers living together in the past was still vivid in his mind.

Head.

Shi Lie continued bitterly: "After following the Jin people, I became more and more greedy for money and profit, and more and more addicted to wine and sex. For the past eighteen generations, I was born into a poor family. I am afraid of poverty. When I have money, I want to

Earn more. But in the end, if you don’t end up with a broken family and brothers separated, what’s the use of earning so much money? Retribution, it’s all retribution.”

After saying a few words, Shi Lie closed his eyes unconsciously, gritting his teeth and trembling.

"Brother." Wang Shouren opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

The two brothers fell into silence and stopped talking.

After a long time, Shi Lie raised his hand with great effort, grabbed Wang Shouren's arm and asked: "Shouren, is it too late for me to turn back now? Do you look down on me?"

Wang Shouren finally couldn't hold it back anymore, his face was excited, and a tear fell down. He held Shi Lie's hand tightly and said, "Brother, you've got time!"

Shi Lie struggled to straighten up: "Can the Northern Liang Army accept us? We have been carrying the infamy for so long."

A little light now appeared in Shi Lie's originally dull eyes.

"Brother!" Wang Shouren shouted: "Whether the Northern Liang Army accepts it or not, we should change our way of life! We have lived half our lives under the hooves of the Jin people. Do we want our descendants to do the same? Think about it!

Miss you son!"

Wang Shouren's serious words made Shi Lie slightly stunned, thinking of his only surviving son, who was only ten years old.

Do you want your son to live like you for the rest of his life? No! Never!

"Okay!" Shi Lie gritted his teeth and said, "Come to Beiliang! Let's kill the golden dog together! Let's avenge the fourth child!"

Wang Shouren smiled happily, wiped his tears and continued to give medicine to his elder brother.

The two brothers finally found a way to work together.

At noon, Long Han arrived ten miles outside the gate of Guanxi City.

Chu Yucheng, Zuoqiu, Yan Hongyi and other generals were waiting here quietly, with dozens of war horses standing still.

Wang Shouren in the crowd was also very curious, looking up his neck and into the distance, wanting to see what the long-rumored Marquis of Beiliang looked like.

Not to mention anything else, just killing the sixth prince of Yanrong outside Wuguan and going south to quell Prince Fu's rebellion had already made Chenyue famous all over the world. Even in Liaodong, Wang Shouren had already heard of this name.

Wang Shouren felt both hopeful and a little uneasy.

What I am looking forward to is meeting this heroic figure who led his troops into Liaodong. What I am worried about is whether my status as a red-headed soldier will arouse the resentment of the Marquis of Beiliang, especially now that the brothers are still waiting to avenge the fourth child.

While Wang Shouren was deep in thought, a slight sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and Wang Shouren suddenly raised his head.

I saw a cavalry team of dozens of people galloping towards them. The leader was wearing a black battle armor and a black cloak that was whirring continuously.

Among the cavalry, a military flag was held high. There was only one word on the flag:

dust!

Beilianghou Shuaiqi!

The cavalry moved at a slow pace and arrived in front of everyone. Before anyone arrived, Erlang's laughter rang out: "Generals, you have captured Longhang Pass in advance and created opportunities for my army to enter Tantan. Thank you for your hard work!"

Chu Yucheng and other generals all smiled and did not use any more courtesy.

Wang Shouren secretly looked at the young man who spoke, and was surprised. He didn't expect the Marquis of Beiliang to be so young.

But while they were talking and laughing, it was obvious that there was a sense of power. That kind of power could only come from rolling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"Let's go, let's go back to Longhanguan first and then talk in detail." Chu Yucheng pulled the reins and gave way to the official road to Longhanguan.

Chenyue nodded lightly, followed by the generals behind him were Shi Tiangong, Bu Wenshan, Xin Ji and others. Lang Yi, the commander of the right cavalry army, stayed behind because of a leg injury and followed the army slowly forward.

When Chen Yue's eyes saw an unfamiliar face in the crowd, he suddenly stopped and said, "Is this General Wang Shouren who opened the south gate to welcome the army into the city?"

Wang Shouren paused for a moment. He did not expect that the Marquis of Beiliang would suddenly speak to him. He quickly raised his hands and said, "Wang Shouren of Liaodong has met the Marquis of Beiliang!"

"Haha. Not bad!" Chen Yue tilted his head: "Come, let's walk slowly and listen to what General Wang tells us about the situation in Tanzhou. General Wang, please don't hide anything!"
