Sun Wuzhong was wearing a general's robe and armor, with gray beard and hair. He was walking on a playground holding the sword on his waist. The three brothers Liu Yi, Liu Fan and Liu Cui followed closely behind him. Sun Wuzhong walked on the side.
, while sighing: "It's been twenty years, Xi Le, do you still remember that when your brothers first came to join the army, they were here too?"
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Of course I remember that Uncle Zhong was the owner of the Feibao Building at that time. Jinu and Ashou were training in your building, and our brothers were working under General Gao Su."
Sun Wuzhong sighed softly: "It's a pity that Lao Gao, alas, still did not escape this disaster. I advised him to resign and hand over all military power, official positions, and even land, but he did not
Listen, I thought that Duke Huan wanted to calm people's hearts and would not do anything to him, but he ended up being unlucky along with Lao Liu. Thinking of this, my heart keeps hurting."
Liu Fan curled up his lips: "Didn't Uncle Zhong fall out with the Marshal and Vice Marshal Gao? Why do you still feel heartbroken for them?"
Sun Wuzhu shook his head, with a desolate look in his eyes: "When I was a horse thief in Huaibei, I knew Lao Liu and Lao Gao. They were mountain bandits, and I was a horse bandit. We didn't fight either.
We don’t know each other, but we practiced martial arts together, robbed barbarian tribes together, went through life and death together, and finally crossed south to join the army together. Just like you, Ji Nu, and Wuji, we have been together since we were young and have a life-long friendship. We are also together.
We agreed to live and die together, gain wealth and honor together, and do something earth-shattering."
Liu Cui laughed: "Uncle Zhong, you did it, and so did the Marshal and Vice Marshal Gao. No matter how it ends, the Battle of Feishui will forever be remembered in history."
A smile appeared at the corner of Sun Wuzhong's lips: "That was the most proud time in our lives. At that time, we were just like you now, full of energy and high spirits. Later, although there were some setbacks in the Northern Expedition, we all believed that
With us military commanders and powerful young people like you, we can clean up the old mountains and rivers again without any problems!"
Liu Yi nodded: "Yes, I still don't understand why you, Deputy Marshal Gao, Marshal Liu and others made such a fuss and actually led an army to run away. This is tantamount to betraying our Beifu Army. Uncle Zhong
, We didn’t dare to ask you these things before, now, can you tell us a thing or two?”
Sun Wuzhu shook his head: "Many people think that I am jealous of Liu Laozhi, jealous that he beat us even half a step and got the position of the general of Beifu. That's why I pulled the team and ran away. But today, I can also tell you the inside story.
, I was at odds with Lao Liu, Lao Gao and the others, not because of anything else, but because of their betrayal of Gong Shuai!"
Liu Yi's expression changed: "You mean, what happened to Wang Gong back then?"
Sun Wuzhong shook his head sadly: "Exactly, when Wang Gong raised troops, it was originally to kill Sima Daozi, a national traitor. It was a just move. Liu Laozhi also fully agreed, but because of the military meeting the day before,
Wang Gong scolded him, "A soldier also knows military aircraft?" This made the prisoner feel resentful. At this time, Gao Su, as Sima Yuanxian's lobbyist, came to persuade him to surrender. At that time, Sima He Danzhi, who was in front of Wang Gong's account, noticed
When something was wrong, I reminded Wang Gong, but I believed in Lao Zhi's character and assured Liu Laozhi of his loyalty in front of Wang Gong. I also said that because He Danzhi and Liu Laozhi had conflicts in the past, I deliberately slandered Liu Laozhi.
Wang Gong finally believed in me, and not only drove He Danzhi away, but also asked me to propose to Liu Laozhi that the next day, I would sworn brotherhood with him in public and apologize for my inappropriate words and deeds the day before yesterday."
Liu Yi frowned: "Wang Gong is arrogant and famously arrogant. He is willing to do this, it is really difficult to surrender, but Marshal Liu actually..."
Sun Wuzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Liu Laozhi actually promised me while secretly preparing troops and horses, and took advantage of Gongshuai's military parade to make a sudden attack. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, he even waited until Gongshuai sent me and He
Danzhi took action after attacking as a vanguard. This was no longer a matter of revenge, this was a shameless betrayal and sneak attack! For this matter, Liu Laozhi and Gao Su and I drew swords against each other, and almost had a fight to the death. Then, I
So I left the Beifu Army, because I just didn’t want to live with them in the same tent anymore, because they weren’t worthy!”
Liu Fan sighed: "I didn't expect that the Marshal used this method to kill Wang Gong. No wonder you have never forgiven them. He Danzhi was He Wuji's cousin, and later He Muzhi persuaded Marshal Liu to switch sides.
, it’s probably because of this reason.”
Sun Wudi nodded: "Yes, He Muzhi also secretly made a condition at that time, which was that Duke Huan promised that He Danzhi would never come forward and that they would live in peace in the future. This time Liu Laozhi died at the Suanshan Ferry.
Everyone in the world said it was me. Even Liu Jingxuan believed it and sent people to assassinate me. He was a soldier trained by me at the time. This kind of tragedy of fratricide and constant death would actually happen. I have never dreamed.
Wouldn’t have thought of that.”
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "But Uncle Zhong, you still opened your eyes and let Liu Jingxuan and the others escape to Nanyan. What's the reason for this?"
Sun Wu eventually sighed: "After all, he is the son of an old friend. When Lao Liu died, I suddenly understood that in this life, love, hate, and hatred are just passing clouds. Xi Le, how many times have you and the slaves fought like this?
In ten years, I don’t hope that in the future you will cause me the same trouble as Lao Zhi, Lao Gao and others. Do you understand what I mean?”
Liu Yi nodded: "I will follow Uncle Zhong's advice. However, what you said today seems like you want to say goodbye to us. Did something happen?"
A trace of unwillingness and helplessness flashed in Sun Wuzhong's eyes: "Just now Zuo Wei General Huan Hong came to announce the edict, saying that the court wanted to pacify the traitors for me and held a celebration banquet. I was asked to attend the banquet. I think things are a bit weird.
This kind of celebration banquet will only be held after a great victory like Feishui. There has never been such a banquet before when the slaves defeated the demon thieves. I am afraid that my release of Ah Shou and Yuan Qianzhi may have been leaked.
Rumor, but I can’t go without you. After I leave, you must manage this army well and prepare for battle. If Huan Xuan really attacks me, he will destroy my entire Beifu army. You must contact Liu Yu and the others.
, raise an army to resist!”
Liu Yi said seriously: "Uncle Zhong's teachings over the years have been kept in mind. I will definitely do what you said!"
Sun Wuzhu smiled and nodded, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his lower back, and a bloody sword tip came out from his chest and stomach. His eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.
, but Liu Yi's joking voice came to his ears: "Uncle Zhong, you are really old. Have you forgotten the words you taught us before to be vigilant at all times?"
