Kuangfu Han Dynasty
Chapter 1 To You 2 Year ago
Chapter 1 To You 2000 Year ago
In the 13th year of Jian'an (AD 208), at the end of autumn and September, Dangyang County, Jingzhou.
Flocks of crows flew out from the jungles of Jingshan Mountain, or came from Yunmengze, eight hundred miles away, and gathered on Changban Slope, hovering over the battlefield for a long time.Several crows quickly found their target: a young warrior with a striking red headband, died under a dead tree. He had a broken stomach, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes were blurry. Maybe there was something else that made him go away. Not at ease.
The crows landed on the shoulders of the dead one after another, their skinny feet jumped and moved, getting closer to the dead head little by little: they were always the first to peck out the eyeballs of the corpse, and their fat and soft tongues were the second course.At this moment, a little boy from the corner limped over and waved his hand to break the spear shaft to drive away the crows: "Get away!"
The crows were frightened, fluttered their wings and fled, but they did not fly far, and soon landed on the dead branches again. From a high position, their small black eyes stared directly at the dead and the living.Although the child's face was stained with blood and dust, his eyes were quite clear. He just sighed and said to the corpse:
"Zhang Bao...Brother, I...Zhang Shao has to leave. I can't protect you anymore."
Speaking of which, this incident was particularly bizarre. He was a middle-aged social worker with a small career, but he still remembered that he was seriously ill. The hospital issued a critical illness notice and pushed him to the ICU.Although he was unconscious, his heart was full of reluctance. After enduring so many years of repeated treatments and suffering so much, this should not be his ending!And the next moment, as if a miracle occurred, the ticking of the machines around him disappeared, the lights suddenly dimmed, and time continued to extend, as if countless centuries had passed... When he finally tried his best to open his eyes, he saw this scene.
The horse struck by an arrow fell to death in the grass, and two knights in armor died at the intersection.When I raised my head, I saw blackbirds that were blocking out the sun, hovering in the sky. Their feast was lying in the wilderness, and there were scattered survivors walking and wailing in the wormwood. What filled my nose was... the smell of war smoke in troubled times. !
What is even more shocking is that he has the memory of an eight-year-old child in his mind: Zhang Fei's second son, who grew up in Xinye, traveled south with Liu Bei, was chased by Cao Jun, and finally fell from his horse and fainted... two memories in his mind There were constant fights here, and the two lives gradually merged together. In short, it is not too abrupt for him to call himself Zhang Shao now.
After ruling out outrageous options such as digital life and brain-computer interface, he thought of an even more outrageous possibility. Could it be that he... traveled through time?
When I saw Zhang Bao's familiar yet unfamiliar face under the dead tree again, my memory became clearer: This was a one-sided battle. Although there were 10,000+ people on our side, most of them were Jingzhou people who fled with Liu Bei, carrying backpacks. There are countless enemies; there are only a few thousand enemies, but they are the world-famous tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao Jun.
It only took a moment from the moment the tiger and leopard cavalry appeared on the northern horizon to the moment the horse launched its attack.Liu Jun had very few armored men, and in his haste, he had no time to even form a formation, so he was overwhelmed.The refugee team immediately exploded, and the people's cries shook the earth. Countless people were injured by arrows and abandoned their men and women... Liu Jun's family carriage was also caught up in the rebels, and they fled in all directions under the pursuit of Cao Jun. .
His half-brother Zhang Bao took the Zhang family's chariot and fought and retreated. One chariot overturned, so Zhang Bao asked his mother, wife, and son to ride in another chariot first. He and Zhang Shao rode on the same horse to break up, but were eventually killed by Cao Cao. Riding to catch up.
The horse was hit by an arrow and fell down. Zhang Bao fought to the death with his spear and died together with Cao's soldiers!But even though his intestines were broken out and his life was like a candle in the wind, he still managed to drag Zhang Shao out from under his horse, and then he died of exhaustion.
Thinking of these things, Zhang Shao's face felt itchy. When he reached out and touched it, he couldn't stop the tears. Was it because his body was instinctively grieving for the death of his elder brother?
But contrary to this turbulent reaction, Zhang Shao remained very calm. The biggest shock to him was: "Zhang Bao died here! It's different from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
In his previous life, he was also a fan of the Three Kingdoms. He loved to play some Three Kingdoms-themed games. He also watched the TV series several times when he was a child. He clearly remembered the plot of Zhang Bao avenging Zhang Fei, and he also followed Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. How could he die so early? Changbanpo?
Putting aside this fact, the current situation undoubtedly corresponds to the section in the novel "Liu Xuande led the people across the river, and Zhao Zilong rode alone to save the savior".This was the darkest moment for Liu Bei's group. They were almost blamed and had no choice but to abandon their wives and children and run away... What's even worse is that Zhang Shao seemed to be one of the family members left behind!
It is a miracle that he can live another life. Zhang Shao is full of desire to survive, but this start is really difficult. For an eight-year-old child, being thrown into a chaotic battlefield, the chance of survival is not high.
But Zhang Shao immediately wanted to understand one thing: "As long as I can go back alive and return to Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang, I will have almost no worries in this life!"
As the son of Zhang Fei, Zhang Shao was born with equity. Even if he did nothing, he would be able to become the second generation of the Shu Han Dynasty.And as long as he is willing, with a wave of his hand, he may change history and make his life more comfortable.
But what to do?It is obviously unrealistic to expect Zhao Yun to save Adou and save him as well.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shao moved quickly and first checked whether he was injured. Fortunately, most of the blood stains were from horses. The only trouble was that his left leg fell when he fell. Now his movements are a little stiff and his walking is more faint. Pain.
Zhang Shao searched nearby and found Zhang Bao's half of the broken spear shaft - the tip of the spear was inserted into Cao Qi's neck.After weighing it, I found that it was very strong and could be used as a walking stick. It was useful for chasing away crows, but it was useless for self-defense.
Zhang Shao groped for two more corpses of Cao Jun. The ring-head knife was too heavy for him to carry, so he took a small whittling knife and inserted it into a cowhide sheath, which was enough to be stuffed in his clothes.
After doing this, Zhang Shao came to Zhang Bao's body for the last time, stretched out his childish hand, and closed Zhang Bao's eyes.
"Please go with peace of mind. I, Zhang Shao, will live well!"
……
The North-South Avenue runs across Nagasaka and was the center of the tragedy.Most of the people who were still alive before were turned into corpses under the charge of Cao Jun. Some were injured by swords and arrows, or were trampled by human feet and horse hooves. They fell dead on both sides of the road.Those who were injured but not dead were still moaning in pain, and further away, there were cries all over the fields, and Cao Jun's killing continued...
Zhang Shao avoided the road and walked in the wilderness full of wormwood. The smell of blood around him was nauseating. Zhang Shao reacted instinctively and his throat surged several times, but he forcibly endured it.He remembered that the last meal he had was in the morning, but now it was noon, and he didn't know when the next meal would be. He had to cherish everything in his stomach at this moment.
However, his left leg was injured more than expected, which caused Zhang Shao to move very slowly. Sporadic refugees kept passing him and moving forward. Just when Zhang Shao was thinking about which way to go next, he heard a girl's soft call.
"A Shao?"
Zhang Shao was startled and deliberately did not look back, but the other party followed him closely and soon caught up with him. He walked around to take a look and said happily: "It is indeed Ah Shao."
This was a girl who was a head taller than Zhang Shao, with black hair that had not yet grown into hairpins. Zhang Shao remembered that her name was Liu Ruyu, and she was the eldest daughter of Liu Bei and Mrs. Gan. She was 3 years older than him.And a little head popped up on Liu Ruyu's back. It was a little girl with eyes red from crying. She was about three or four years old. She was Liu Di, the legitimate daughter of the late Mrs. Mi.It turns out that he is not the only one who is unlucky, they are also caught in the rebellion.
Liu Bei, Guan and Zhang were called Junchen, but they were actually as close as brothers. During these years in Xinye, the three families lived in the same courtyard, ate together, and the children also played together and grew up, treating each other as brothers and sisters.
When Liu Ruyu saw that Zhang Shao had survived, her brows were full of surprise, and she asked anxiously: "A Shao, where is your mother? Where is your brother? There are also all the Zhang family members..."
She looked around, but saw no familiar figures, only Zhang Shao alone. Liu Ruyu understood immediately, and the hope of rescue slowly faded away in her eyes.
Sure enough, Zhang Shao answered her: "My mother and others escaped. As for my brother, he died in the battle to protect me."
Liu Ruyu couldn't bear the grief for a while. Zhang Bao was the big brother of the Xinye children. She asked for the direction, knelt down and bowed far away, and then said resolutely: "Brother, I will definitely take A Shao home, back to Zhang Bao." Uncle’s side!”
Zhang Shao, however, did not count on her, and only asked: "Sister... Where did Mrs. Gan and Adou go?" In Zhang Shao's eyes, Liu Adou seemed to be bound to Zhao Yun. If they could be found, or perhaps A slim chance of rescue.
Liu Ruyu shook her head helplessly. Before Cao Jun arrived, her sister made a fuss and said she needed to go to the toilet, so Liu Ruyu carried her to Guancongli.When he heard the exclamation and ran back to the convoy, he found that there was already a chaos. Uncle Mi Fang drove his mother and A Dou and disappeared in a hurry, while the soldiers fought with Cao Jun.
Amid the flashes of swords and shadows, she could only rely on her own body to protect her sister from hiding, but at least she didn't become one of the dead bodies on the roadside.
Although she was extremely scared, Liu Ruyu controlled her emotions, took Zhang Shao's hand, and comforted him: "A Shao, don't be afraid."
Of course Zhang Shao was afraid, but what he was afraid of was that he would be dragged down by sister Liu Ruyu. An 11-year-old girl has no strength to restrain a chicken, and she is carrying a small child. It is not certain who will protect whom.What's more, Liu Ruyu is too conspicuous and may not be a safe companion.
Not to mention how beautiful she looks, after all, she is too young to tell. Just talking about her skin, it is like soft jade skin, white and translucent. Even though she has gone through turmoil, it is still like this, it is difficult not to attract attention.
This good skin was inherited from his mother. In Zhang Shao's memory, Mrs. Gan was Liu Bei's concubine. However, due to the loss of several legitimate wives, Mrs. Gan was still in charge of the inner chamber most of the time.She was born with a charming and dignified appearance, and her skin was as white and moist as white jade. In his early years, Liu got a three-foot-tall beauty who often compared her with Mrs. Gan. During the day, he talked about military plans with Guan, Zhang, and Xu Shu, and at night Keeping a beautiful concubine and playing with a beautiful woman... It seems that this is the origin of Liu Ruyu's name.
If you encounter Cao Jun, you can tell at a glance that he is definitely not raised by ordinary people.In comparison, apart from his good clothes, Zhang Shao's appearance is unremarkable. It should be easy for him to get through with disguise.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he couldn't go with Liu Ruyu.
Liu Ruyu walked ahead with her sister on her back, trying her best to slow down and wait for Zhang Shao, but Zhang Shao walked slower and slower. After a while, he raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Ah... sister, I walk slowly, I can't hold you back. Waiting for the hind legs, you can take Adi away first, and leave me alone."
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyu said solemnly: "Ah Shao'an, you can say this? Our fathers are like brothers. You and I have shared the same table and played with bamboo horses since we were little. It's even more like we were born together! How could I just care about myself and abandon my brother today?" Do you care?"
She tilted her head and asked her sister: "Adi, can I leave?"
Liu Di nodded obediently, and after Liu Ruyu put her down, she came over to help Zhang Shao. He couldn't help but refuse, "I'll help you along."
How long have you been talking about benevolence and righteousness? Zhang Shao secretly sighed, it doesn't matter, he is not much better walking alone because he is lame. He really needs help. The Liu Ruyu in front of him will at least not betray him.
He then said: "In that case, can you please listen to me?"
"You said."
Zhang Shaodao: "In the current situation, does my sister have a good way to escape?"
This stopped Liu Ruyu from asking. She thought for a while and said, "Let's follow the crowd first and ask where our father is going. If we can find one or two of our army officers on the way, they may be able to protect us from here."
Zhang Shao, however, didn't think this was a good idea. Not to mention that Liu Bei's army was defeated like a mountain. The soldiers were either routed or were killed and captured.Even if there are a few survivors, in this situation, how can we ensure that the other party will fight to the death to protect the three children instead of betraying them in exchange for life and wealth?
So Zhang Shao shook his head and said: "I think that instead of asking questions everywhere and causing trouble, it is better to hide your identity first. This will be safer."
It seemed to make sense, Liu Ruyu nodded hesitantly, and Zhang Shao added: "But we are too conspicuous, especially sister."
Zhang Shao pointed out the scattered refugees around to her. Everyone was passing by and he had to take a look at them, not only to look at the silk clothes the three of them were wearing, but also to take a look at Liu Ruyu's face.
"It's so easy to attract attention. If someone reports to Cao Jun, we will be in danger!"
Liu Ruyu suddenly asked: "What should we do?" Zhang Shao led the two of them to avoid the crowd and came to a creek. He sat down, put his hands together with the sand and water, wiped it off his face, and Ask Liu Ruyu to follow suit.After a while, the beautiful jade was covered with a layer of smelly mud, and Liu Di also had a little painted face.
"Also rub it on the backs of your hands, arms and neck. After it dries, apply some dirt on it, mess up your hair, and sprinkle it down to cover your face."
Zhang Shao carefully disguised the three of them. Liu Ruyu didn't care about being dirty. She just looked at Zhang Shao in surprise.When he was in Xinye, Zhang Shao was not outstanding among a group of children. He was timid, incompetent in literature and martial arts, and had no independent ideas. He always liked to run behind the Guan family sisters.
But today, he seemed to be a different person. As soon as he finished wiping the soil, he limped over to several dead bodies and called Liu Ruyu for help.
"A Shao, what are you..." Liu Ruyu was shocked.
"I also need to change my clothes." Zhang Shao picked up the dead man's coarse linen clothes and silently apologized to them in his heart, but the dead man's hands and feet were really heavy. An eight-year-old child couldn't even handle them, let alone take off the clothes. Take it off.
But Liu Ruyu made a discovery on the side. She found an abandoned robe. When she opened it, she saw that there were old clothes rolled up inside, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"God is really helping me." Zhang Shao secretly rejoiced and thanked the owner of the clothes. The two of them struggled for a long time before putting the rough kudzu on their bodies.
Although the size does not fit at all, fortunately, there were many pieces of clothing in ancient times. The short coat was used as an outer garment, and the calf-nosed skirt was worn on the lower body. It looked messy and disorganized, but more like an ordinary refugee child.
Liu Ruyu changed her sister's new clothes and glanced at Zhang Shao, thinking: "A Shao seems to have grown up suddenly. He must have suddenly woken up after witnessing his elder brother's death in battle."
The same goes for herself. When she was in Xinye, Liu Ruyu was the distinguished eldest daughter of General Zuo. She enjoyed the favor of her relatives and the admiration of the soldiers and civilians. She didn't think anything of the beauty and taste of the clothes. She didn't have to do anything herself if she wanted anything.It wasn't until she encountered a catastrophe that she realized how difficult the world was and how her father and mother had survived in their early years.
Liu Ruyu only said to herself secretly: "Ah Shao is still like this. As a sister and the daughter of the lord, I can no longer be timid."
Zhang Shao looked up again at the sun rising to the middle of the sky, and carefully identified the direction. He pointed at the Changban slope: "Is this the way to the south?"
"Exactly." Liu Ruyu actively provided information: "My father was planning to lead the soldiers and civilians south to Jiangling..."
"We can't go now, we have to change our way." Zhang Shao shook his head. The disastrous defeat at Changban made Lao Liu's plan come to nothing. Cao Jun must have taken over Jiangling City first.Moreover, most of the refugees are also running south, and Cao's army team is hotly pursuing them.
"If I remember correctly, the Han River should be in the east?"
Zhang Shao thought in his heart that after the disastrous defeat, Old Liu should take Zhang Fei and others to the east, intending to join Guan Yu's navy. This is exactly the scene of "Zhang Yide made a big fuss at Changban Bridge, and Liu Yuzhou was defeated at Hanjinkou".After that, we went to the eldest son of Jiangxia, Liu Qi, and this led to Sun and Liu joining forces. Kong Ming went to Jiangdong as an envoy, and Zhou Lang suffered a fire in Chibi... Anyway, that's what the novel said, and I hope the real situation is similar.
But they couldn't go there now. With the speed of the three of them crawling, they might not be able to catch up with Zhang Fei's three loud roars. Instead, they would run into Cao Qi who was chasing Lao Liu back.
Not to mention the north, currently only the forward tiger and leopard cavalry are galloping around, but the main force of Cao's army is on the way.
Boss Cao seemed to have set up a dragnet in Changban, and the only direction he could open his mouth was to the west.It is an extension of Changban Mountain, covered with oak trees, arching trees and tall bamboos, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun.
Zhang Shao said: "Sister, we'd better go west. It's close to the mountains. Cao Jun doesn't dare to rush into the woods to pursue us. Let's hide there tonight."
Although Liu Ruyu pretended to be strong, she suddenly encountered a catastrophe and was really helpless, let alone making an escape plan.Seeing that what Zhang Shao said was indeed reasonable, he thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, let's go to the west!"
The three of them then changed their direction and walked towards the woods a few miles away to the west. There were many smart people who had the same idea, and there were also refugees walking in twos and threes on the same road, wanting to get into the forest to temporarily avoid the blade.
In fact, Zhang Shao was also beating the drum in his heart. Although he had experience of living in the mountains and forests in his previous life and often watched videos of survival in the wilderness, the harsh autumn and winter in ancient times were different from those in later generations. Can three children survive in the deep mountains and old forests?Not to mention his leg was still injured.
Joining other refugees to seek asylum as an adult is not necessarily a good choice. Once you enter the mountains, are the most terrifying people or beasts?This is really impossible to say.Three children with tender skin and tender flesh are considered delicious food in the eyes of hungry people.
No matter what, it's useless to think so much. It's better to get through tonight first. The escape to the west is only temporary. Zhang Shao's ultimate goal is to wait for the situation to ease a little, go east to the Han River, and then go down the river to find Sun. Liu Lianjun.
But before they could get close to the woods, they suddenly heard someone shouting loudly.
"Cao Jun! Cao Jun is here!"
Hearing the words, the surrounding refugees fled quickly. Zhang Shao turned around, only to see a team of cavalry coming at speed from a mile away!
At this moment, the three of them are walking in the wilderness, there is no way to avoid them!
Zhang Shao rolled his eyes at this bad luck. The bushes he just passed by were already some distance away. Good guy, there was no suitable place to even pretend to be dead.
Refugees kept running past them, but Liu Ruyu had no intention of escaping. She held her sister with one hand and Zhang Shao with the other. Her voice was full of anxiety: "A Shao, let's go quickly..."
"Don't run away." Zhang Shao said with a bitter smile: "If you are caught up by the cavalry here, there is no way you can escape."
It's better to surrender where you are and save some energy to think about countermeasures after being captured.
Sure enough, with the sound of the horn, dozens of Cao Jun's cavalry dispersed skillfully, spreading to the west like a net, and soon caught up with the refugees.
After shooting several of the fastest runners to death, the refugees were frightened and stopped one after another. After only half a moment, they were driven back to their original place like a flock of sheep and gathered together again.Cao Qi, on the other hand, surrounded them like tigers, leopards and jackals, pointing their arrows and spears at them, each of them showing a terrifying smile.
Zhang Shao and Sister Liu Ruyu squatted in the middle of the crowd, trying to keep a low profile, but they saw the leader of the army, Cao Jun, riding a tall black horse. He had a face with a Chinese character under his belt and no beard. He should be a young general. He glanced at the refugees proudly and said in an official manner:
"You people were deceived by the traitor Liu Bei, and then you were separated and separated, and you were in trouble. Now the prime minister is leading the king's army to the south to Jianghan. Liu Cong and others have already joined hands and bowed. The prime minister is benevolent and has ordered the officials and people of Jingzhou to It’s all about change.”
"If you are a kind person, please follow me to Dangyang County, otherwise..."
He emphasized his tone: "We are all regarded as Liu Bei's traitors and will be executed on the spot!"
……
Although Cao Jun calls himself "Master Wang", he is by no means a good person. If you don't follow him, you will die. They are not joking.
Zhang Shao saw a young woman kneeling on the ground, pointing to her husband who was bleeding profusely from an arrow in his thigh. She cried and said that he was seriously injured and could not move, and prayed to the generals to let the couple live.
A Commander Cao Jun with a sinister face and a mustache squatted down, carefully inspected her husband's wound, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Who can shoot a good arrow? It pierced the thigh directly. It is indeed difficult to move around, and it is not easy to save. You You can stay..."
"Leave to die!"
Before the young woman could burst into tears of gratitude, she was grabbed by the hair and pulled away from her husband, and then roughly pushed into the crowd: "But you have to leave! If you don't leave, you will die with him!"
The young woman looked miserable and begged several times, but what she got in exchange was a harsh riding whip!After being beaten several times, she finally went on the road crying, looking back every three steps and hesitating every five steps.Her husband could only lie on the ground and watch his wife go away, his eyes full of despair.
After this incident, the refugees felt sad, put away any hope of luck, and moved around one after another.
After clearly seeing the opponent's bottom line, Zhang Shao could only walk slowly with the help of Liu Ruyu. Although he was supported by Liu Ruyu, he could not get up fast. He was quickly overtaken by others and gradually fell behind...
The person holding the formation behind the refugee team was the man with the long mustache. He was riding on a yellow hussar, with two heads that had just been chopped off from the refugees tied to the sides of the saddle. Now he was staring at Zhang Shao and the three of them, his mustache was smiling but not smiling. He said: "Boy, are your legs and feet injured too?"
There was even three points of concern and five points of expectation in his tone: "It's really pitiful, but do you want to get on your horse and let me give you a ride?"
Zhang Shao just howled "Wow" and pretended to be afraid, speeding up and moving away from this person.
This guy was so ruthless that he separated the couple, how could he be so kind now?He was clearly entertaining them to pass the boring journey!If he had agreed foolishly, I'm afraid Zhang Shao would have been pushed down on purpose and his head would have been broken when he climbed up the horse.
Sure enough, when the mustache leader saw that Zhang Shao was not wearing the harness, he suddenly showed a fierce expression and swung his riding whip into the air behind them: "It seems that his legs and feet are safe, so hurry up! If not, don't blame Nai Gong's whip." Don’t have eyes!”
But where can Zhang Shao go quickly?It was cool in late autumn, but he was sweating profusely in pain. He could only rely on inertia to move forward with the help of Liu Ruyu... Flat land was okay, but the road to Dangyang County had to go over a long slope!What to do when going uphill?
"Ah Shao, it's okay, let me carry you! Just like when I was little." Standing at the foot of the slope, Liu Ruyu bit her lip and said, but after all, she was only an 11-year-old girl, tired and exhausted, and she had to take care of a child. It's so small, how can you carry it?
Asking for help from the refugees at the front?But now that weapons are at hand, everyone can only care about their own relatives, and no one has the responsibility to take care of them.
The three of them were getting slower and slower, and with a long mustache and a ferocious smile, they waved their riding whips again. Just when Zhang Shao closed his eyes and was about to get hit, someone came over and stood in front of Zhang Shao.
"Is this child separated from his parents? General, the old woman is his neighbor. He can't bear to see this, so he asked me to carry him away."
Zhang Shao was stunned. When he turned around, he saw a kind old woman in Jingchai sarong, smiling at him. Zhang Shao had an impression of her in his memory. This seemed to be...
Xu Shu’s mother!
Use this book to wish me a happy 33rd birthday
(End of this chapter)
In the 13th year of Jian'an (AD 208), at the end of autumn and September, Dangyang County, Jingzhou.
Flocks of crows flew out from the jungles of Jingshan Mountain, or came from Yunmengze, eight hundred miles away, and gathered on Changban Slope, hovering over the battlefield for a long time.Several crows quickly found their target: a young warrior with a striking red headband, died under a dead tree. He had a broken stomach, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes were blurry. Maybe there was something else that made him go away. Not at ease.
The crows landed on the shoulders of the dead one after another, their skinny feet jumped and moved, getting closer to the dead head little by little: they were always the first to peck out the eyeballs of the corpse, and their fat and soft tongues were the second course.At this moment, a little boy from the corner limped over and waved his hand to break the spear shaft to drive away the crows: "Get away!"
The crows were frightened, fluttered their wings and fled, but they did not fly far, and soon landed on the dead branches again. From a high position, their small black eyes stared directly at the dead and the living.Although the child's face was stained with blood and dust, his eyes were quite clear. He just sighed and said to the corpse:
"Zhang Bao...Brother, I...Zhang Shao has to leave. I can't protect you anymore."
Speaking of which, this incident was particularly bizarre. He was a middle-aged social worker with a small career, but he still remembered that he was seriously ill. The hospital issued a critical illness notice and pushed him to the ICU.Although he was unconscious, his heart was full of reluctance. After enduring so many years of repeated treatments and suffering so much, this should not be his ending!And the next moment, as if a miracle occurred, the ticking of the machines around him disappeared, the lights suddenly dimmed, and time continued to extend, as if countless centuries had passed... When he finally tried his best to open his eyes, he saw this scene.
The horse struck by an arrow fell to death in the grass, and two knights in armor died at the intersection.When I raised my head, I saw blackbirds that were blocking out the sun, hovering in the sky. Their feast was lying in the wilderness, and there were scattered survivors walking and wailing in the wormwood. What filled my nose was... the smell of war smoke in troubled times. !
What is even more shocking is that he has the memory of an eight-year-old child in his mind: Zhang Fei's second son, who grew up in Xinye, traveled south with Liu Bei, was chased by Cao Jun, and finally fell from his horse and fainted... two memories in his mind There were constant fights here, and the two lives gradually merged together. In short, it is not too abrupt for him to call himself Zhang Shao now.
After ruling out outrageous options such as digital life and brain-computer interface, he thought of an even more outrageous possibility. Could it be that he... traveled through time?
When I saw Zhang Bao's familiar yet unfamiliar face under the dead tree again, my memory became clearer: This was a one-sided battle. Although there were 10,000+ people on our side, most of them were Jingzhou people who fled with Liu Bei, carrying backpacks. There are countless enemies; there are only a few thousand enemies, but they are the world-famous tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao Jun.
It only took a moment from the moment the tiger and leopard cavalry appeared on the northern horizon to the moment the horse launched its attack.Liu Jun had very few armored men, and in his haste, he had no time to even form a formation, so he was overwhelmed.The refugee team immediately exploded, and the people's cries shook the earth. Countless people were injured by arrows and abandoned their men and women... Liu Jun's family carriage was also caught up in the rebels, and they fled in all directions under the pursuit of Cao Jun. .
His half-brother Zhang Bao took the Zhang family's chariot and fought and retreated. One chariot overturned, so Zhang Bao asked his mother, wife, and son to ride in another chariot first. He and Zhang Shao rode on the same horse to break up, but were eventually killed by Cao Cao. Riding to catch up.
The horse was hit by an arrow and fell down. Zhang Bao fought to the death with his spear and died together with Cao's soldiers!But even though his intestines were broken out and his life was like a candle in the wind, he still managed to drag Zhang Shao out from under his horse, and then he died of exhaustion.
Thinking of these things, Zhang Shao's face felt itchy. When he reached out and touched it, he couldn't stop the tears. Was it because his body was instinctively grieving for the death of his elder brother?
But contrary to this turbulent reaction, Zhang Shao remained very calm. The biggest shock to him was: "Zhang Bao died here! It's different from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
In his previous life, he was also a fan of the Three Kingdoms. He loved to play some Three Kingdoms-themed games. He also watched the TV series several times when he was a child. He clearly remembered the plot of Zhang Bao avenging Zhang Fei, and he also followed Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. How could he die so early? Changbanpo?
Putting aside this fact, the current situation undoubtedly corresponds to the section in the novel "Liu Xuande led the people across the river, and Zhao Zilong rode alone to save the savior".This was the darkest moment for Liu Bei's group. They were almost blamed and had no choice but to abandon their wives and children and run away... What's even worse is that Zhang Shao seemed to be one of the family members left behind!
It is a miracle that he can live another life. Zhang Shao is full of desire to survive, but this start is really difficult. For an eight-year-old child, being thrown into a chaotic battlefield, the chance of survival is not high.
But Zhang Shao immediately wanted to understand one thing: "As long as I can go back alive and return to Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang, I will have almost no worries in this life!"
As the son of Zhang Fei, Zhang Shao was born with equity. Even if he did nothing, he would be able to become the second generation of the Shu Han Dynasty.And as long as he is willing, with a wave of his hand, he may change history and make his life more comfortable.
But what to do?It is obviously unrealistic to expect Zhao Yun to save Adou and save him as well.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shao moved quickly and first checked whether he was injured. Fortunately, most of the blood stains were from horses. The only trouble was that his left leg fell when he fell. Now his movements are a little stiff and his walking is more faint. Pain.
Zhang Shao searched nearby and found Zhang Bao's half of the broken spear shaft - the tip of the spear was inserted into Cao Qi's neck.After weighing it, I found that it was very strong and could be used as a walking stick. It was useful for chasing away crows, but it was useless for self-defense.
Zhang Shao groped for two more corpses of Cao Jun. The ring-head knife was too heavy for him to carry, so he took a small whittling knife and inserted it into a cowhide sheath, which was enough to be stuffed in his clothes.
After doing this, Zhang Shao came to Zhang Bao's body for the last time, stretched out his childish hand, and closed Zhang Bao's eyes.
"Please go with peace of mind. I, Zhang Shao, will live well!"
……
The North-South Avenue runs across Nagasaka and was the center of the tragedy.Most of the people who were still alive before were turned into corpses under the charge of Cao Jun. Some were injured by swords and arrows, or were trampled by human feet and horse hooves. They fell dead on both sides of the road.Those who were injured but not dead were still moaning in pain, and further away, there were cries all over the fields, and Cao Jun's killing continued...
Zhang Shao avoided the road and walked in the wilderness full of wormwood. The smell of blood around him was nauseating. Zhang Shao reacted instinctively and his throat surged several times, but he forcibly endured it.He remembered that the last meal he had was in the morning, but now it was noon, and he didn't know when the next meal would be. He had to cherish everything in his stomach at this moment.
However, his left leg was injured more than expected, which caused Zhang Shao to move very slowly. Sporadic refugees kept passing him and moving forward. Just when Zhang Shao was thinking about which way to go next, he heard a girl's soft call.
"A Shao?"
Zhang Shao was startled and deliberately did not look back, but the other party followed him closely and soon caught up with him. He walked around to take a look and said happily: "It is indeed Ah Shao."
This was a girl who was a head taller than Zhang Shao, with black hair that had not yet grown into hairpins. Zhang Shao remembered that her name was Liu Ruyu, and she was the eldest daughter of Liu Bei and Mrs. Gan. She was 3 years older than him.And a little head popped up on Liu Ruyu's back. It was a little girl with eyes red from crying. She was about three or four years old. She was Liu Di, the legitimate daughter of the late Mrs. Mi.It turns out that he is not the only one who is unlucky, they are also caught in the rebellion.
Liu Bei, Guan and Zhang were called Junchen, but they were actually as close as brothers. During these years in Xinye, the three families lived in the same courtyard, ate together, and the children also played together and grew up, treating each other as brothers and sisters.
When Liu Ruyu saw that Zhang Shao had survived, her brows were full of surprise, and she asked anxiously: "A Shao, where is your mother? Where is your brother? There are also all the Zhang family members..."
She looked around, but saw no familiar figures, only Zhang Shao alone. Liu Ruyu understood immediately, and the hope of rescue slowly faded away in her eyes.
Sure enough, Zhang Shao answered her: "My mother and others escaped. As for my brother, he died in the battle to protect me."
Liu Ruyu couldn't bear the grief for a while. Zhang Bao was the big brother of the Xinye children. She asked for the direction, knelt down and bowed far away, and then said resolutely: "Brother, I will definitely take A Shao home, back to Zhang Bao." Uncle’s side!”
Zhang Shao, however, did not count on her, and only asked: "Sister... Where did Mrs. Gan and Adou go?" In Zhang Shao's eyes, Liu Adou seemed to be bound to Zhao Yun. If they could be found, or perhaps A slim chance of rescue.
Liu Ruyu shook her head helplessly. Before Cao Jun arrived, her sister made a fuss and said she needed to go to the toilet, so Liu Ruyu carried her to Guancongli.When he heard the exclamation and ran back to the convoy, he found that there was already a chaos. Uncle Mi Fang drove his mother and A Dou and disappeared in a hurry, while the soldiers fought with Cao Jun.
Amid the flashes of swords and shadows, she could only rely on her own body to protect her sister from hiding, but at least she didn't become one of the dead bodies on the roadside.
Although she was extremely scared, Liu Ruyu controlled her emotions, took Zhang Shao's hand, and comforted him: "A Shao, don't be afraid."
Of course Zhang Shao was afraid, but what he was afraid of was that he would be dragged down by sister Liu Ruyu. An 11-year-old girl has no strength to restrain a chicken, and she is carrying a small child. It is not certain who will protect whom.What's more, Liu Ruyu is too conspicuous and may not be a safe companion.
Not to mention how beautiful she looks, after all, she is too young to tell. Just talking about her skin, it is like soft jade skin, white and translucent. Even though she has gone through turmoil, it is still like this, it is difficult not to attract attention.
This good skin was inherited from his mother. In Zhang Shao's memory, Mrs. Gan was Liu Bei's concubine. However, due to the loss of several legitimate wives, Mrs. Gan was still in charge of the inner chamber most of the time.She was born with a charming and dignified appearance, and her skin was as white and moist as white jade. In his early years, Liu got a three-foot-tall beauty who often compared her with Mrs. Gan. During the day, he talked about military plans with Guan, Zhang, and Xu Shu, and at night Keeping a beautiful concubine and playing with a beautiful woman... It seems that this is the origin of Liu Ruyu's name.
If you encounter Cao Jun, you can tell at a glance that he is definitely not raised by ordinary people.In comparison, apart from his good clothes, Zhang Shao's appearance is unremarkable. It should be easy for him to get through with disguise.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he couldn't go with Liu Ruyu.
Liu Ruyu walked ahead with her sister on her back, trying her best to slow down and wait for Zhang Shao, but Zhang Shao walked slower and slower. After a while, he raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Ah... sister, I walk slowly, I can't hold you back. Waiting for the hind legs, you can take Adi away first, and leave me alone."
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyu said solemnly: "Ah Shao'an, you can say this? Our fathers are like brothers. You and I have shared the same table and played with bamboo horses since we were little. It's even more like we were born together! How could I just care about myself and abandon my brother today?" Do you care?"
She tilted her head and asked her sister: "Adi, can I leave?"
Liu Di nodded obediently, and after Liu Ruyu put her down, she came over to help Zhang Shao. He couldn't help but refuse, "I'll help you along."
How long have you been talking about benevolence and righteousness? Zhang Shao secretly sighed, it doesn't matter, he is not much better walking alone because he is lame. He really needs help. The Liu Ruyu in front of him will at least not betray him.
He then said: "In that case, can you please listen to me?"
"You said."
Zhang Shaodao: "In the current situation, does my sister have a good way to escape?"
This stopped Liu Ruyu from asking. She thought for a while and said, "Let's follow the crowd first and ask where our father is going. If we can find one or two of our army officers on the way, they may be able to protect us from here."
Zhang Shao, however, didn't think this was a good idea. Not to mention that Liu Bei's army was defeated like a mountain. The soldiers were either routed or were killed and captured.Even if there are a few survivors, in this situation, how can we ensure that the other party will fight to the death to protect the three children instead of betraying them in exchange for life and wealth?
So Zhang Shao shook his head and said: "I think that instead of asking questions everywhere and causing trouble, it is better to hide your identity first. This will be safer."
It seemed to make sense, Liu Ruyu nodded hesitantly, and Zhang Shao added: "But we are too conspicuous, especially sister."
Zhang Shao pointed out the scattered refugees around to her. Everyone was passing by and he had to take a look at them, not only to look at the silk clothes the three of them were wearing, but also to take a look at Liu Ruyu's face.
"It's so easy to attract attention. If someone reports to Cao Jun, we will be in danger!"
Liu Ruyu suddenly asked: "What should we do?" Zhang Shao led the two of them to avoid the crowd and came to a creek. He sat down, put his hands together with the sand and water, wiped it off his face, and Ask Liu Ruyu to follow suit.After a while, the beautiful jade was covered with a layer of smelly mud, and Liu Di also had a little painted face.
"Also rub it on the backs of your hands, arms and neck. After it dries, apply some dirt on it, mess up your hair, and sprinkle it down to cover your face."
Zhang Shao carefully disguised the three of them. Liu Ruyu didn't care about being dirty. She just looked at Zhang Shao in surprise.When he was in Xinye, Zhang Shao was not outstanding among a group of children. He was timid, incompetent in literature and martial arts, and had no independent ideas. He always liked to run behind the Guan family sisters.
But today, he seemed to be a different person. As soon as he finished wiping the soil, he limped over to several dead bodies and called Liu Ruyu for help.
"A Shao, what are you..." Liu Ruyu was shocked.
"I also need to change my clothes." Zhang Shao picked up the dead man's coarse linen clothes and silently apologized to them in his heart, but the dead man's hands and feet were really heavy. An eight-year-old child couldn't even handle them, let alone take off the clothes. Take it off.
But Liu Ruyu made a discovery on the side. She found an abandoned robe. When she opened it, she saw that there were old clothes rolled up inside, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"God is really helping me." Zhang Shao secretly rejoiced and thanked the owner of the clothes. The two of them struggled for a long time before putting the rough kudzu on their bodies.
Although the size does not fit at all, fortunately, there were many pieces of clothing in ancient times. The short coat was used as an outer garment, and the calf-nosed skirt was worn on the lower body. It looked messy and disorganized, but more like an ordinary refugee child.
Liu Ruyu changed her sister's new clothes and glanced at Zhang Shao, thinking: "A Shao seems to have grown up suddenly. He must have suddenly woken up after witnessing his elder brother's death in battle."
The same goes for herself. When she was in Xinye, Liu Ruyu was the distinguished eldest daughter of General Zuo. She enjoyed the favor of her relatives and the admiration of the soldiers and civilians. She didn't think anything of the beauty and taste of the clothes. She didn't have to do anything herself if she wanted anything.It wasn't until she encountered a catastrophe that she realized how difficult the world was and how her father and mother had survived in their early years.
Liu Ruyu only said to herself secretly: "Ah Shao is still like this. As a sister and the daughter of the lord, I can no longer be timid."
Zhang Shao looked up again at the sun rising to the middle of the sky, and carefully identified the direction. He pointed at the Changban slope: "Is this the way to the south?"
"Exactly." Liu Ruyu actively provided information: "My father was planning to lead the soldiers and civilians south to Jiangling..."
"We can't go now, we have to change our way." Zhang Shao shook his head. The disastrous defeat at Changban made Lao Liu's plan come to nothing. Cao Jun must have taken over Jiangling City first.Moreover, most of the refugees are also running south, and Cao's army team is hotly pursuing them.
"If I remember correctly, the Han River should be in the east?"
Zhang Shao thought in his heart that after the disastrous defeat, Old Liu should take Zhang Fei and others to the east, intending to join Guan Yu's navy. This is exactly the scene of "Zhang Yide made a big fuss at Changban Bridge, and Liu Yuzhou was defeated at Hanjinkou".After that, we went to the eldest son of Jiangxia, Liu Qi, and this led to Sun and Liu joining forces. Kong Ming went to Jiangdong as an envoy, and Zhou Lang suffered a fire in Chibi... Anyway, that's what the novel said, and I hope the real situation is similar.
But they couldn't go there now. With the speed of the three of them crawling, they might not be able to catch up with Zhang Fei's three loud roars. Instead, they would run into Cao Qi who was chasing Lao Liu back.
Not to mention the north, currently only the forward tiger and leopard cavalry are galloping around, but the main force of Cao's army is on the way.
Boss Cao seemed to have set up a dragnet in Changban, and the only direction he could open his mouth was to the west.It is an extension of Changban Mountain, covered with oak trees, arching trees and tall bamboos, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun.
Zhang Shao said: "Sister, we'd better go west. It's close to the mountains. Cao Jun doesn't dare to rush into the woods to pursue us. Let's hide there tonight."
Although Liu Ruyu pretended to be strong, she suddenly encountered a catastrophe and was really helpless, let alone making an escape plan.Seeing that what Zhang Shao said was indeed reasonable, he thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, let's go to the west!"
The three of them then changed their direction and walked towards the woods a few miles away to the west. There were many smart people who had the same idea, and there were also refugees walking in twos and threes on the same road, wanting to get into the forest to temporarily avoid the blade.
In fact, Zhang Shao was also beating the drum in his heart. Although he had experience of living in the mountains and forests in his previous life and often watched videos of survival in the wilderness, the harsh autumn and winter in ancient times were different from those in later generations. Can three children survive in the deep mountains and old forests?Not to mention his leg was still injured.
Joining other refugees to seek asylum as an adult is not necessarily a good choice. Once you enter the mountains, are the most terrifying people or beasts?This is really impossible to say.Three children with tender skin and tender flesh are considered delicious food in the eyes of hungry people.
No matter what, it's useless to think so much. It's better to get through tonight first. The escape to the west is only temporary. Zhang Shao's ultimate goal is to wait for the situation to ease a little, go east to the Han River, and then go down the river to find Sun. Liu Lianjun.
But before they could get close to the woods, they suddenly heard someone shouting loudly.
"Cao Jun! Cao Jun is here!"
Hearing the words, the surrounding refugees fled quickly. Zhang Shao turned around, only to see a team of cavalry coming at speed from a mile away!
At this moment, the three of them are walking in the wilderness, there is no way to avoid them!
Zhang Shao rolled his eyes at this bad luck. The bushes he just passed by were already some distance away. Good guy, there was no suitable place to even pretend to be dead.
Refugees kept running past them, but Liu Ruyu had no intention of escaping. She held her sister with one hand and Zhang Shao with the other. Her voice was full of anxiety: "A Shao, let's go quickly..."
"Don't run away." Zhang Shao said with a bitter smile: "If you are caught up by the cavalry here, there is no way you can escape."
It's better to surrender where you are and save some energy to think about countermeasures after being captured.
Sure enough, with the sound of the horn, dozens of Cao Jun's cavalry dispersed skillfully, spreading to the west like a net, and soon caught up with the refugees.
After shooting several of the fastest runners to death, the refugees were frightened and stopped one after another. After only half a moment, they were driven back to their original place like a flock of sheep and gathered together again.Cao Qi, on the other hand, surrounded them like tigers, leopards and jackals, pointing their arrows and spears at them, each of them showing a terrifying smile.
Zhang Shao and Sister Liu Ruyu squatted in the middle of the crowd, trying to keep a low profile, but they saw the leader of the army, Cao Jun, riding a tall black horse. He had a face with a Chinese character under his belt and no beard. He should be a young general. He glanced at the refugees proudly and said in an official manner:
"You people were deceived by the traitor Liu Bei, and then you were separated and separated, and you were in trouble. Now the prime minister is leading the king's army to the south to Jianghan. Liu Cong and others have already joined hands and bowed. The prime minister is benevolent and has ordered the officials and people of Jingzhou to It’s all about change.”
"If you are a kind person, please follow me to Dangyang County, otherwise..."
He emphasized his tone: "We are all regarded as Liu Bei's traitors and will be executed on the spot!"
……
Although Cao Jun calls himself "Master Wang", he is by no means a good person. If you don't follow him, you will die. They are not joking.
Zhang Shao saw a young woman kneeling on the ground, pointing to her husband who was bleeding profusely from an arrow in his thigh. She cried and said that he was seriously injured and could not move, and prayed to the generals to let the couple live.
A Commander Cao Jun with a sinister face and a mustache squatted down, carefully inspected her husband's wound, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Who can shoot a good arrow? It pierced the thigh directly. It is indeed difficult to move around, and it is not easy to save. You You can stay..."
"Leave to die!"
Before the young woman could burst into tears of gratitude, she was grabbed by the hair and pulled away from her husband, and then roughly pushed into the crowd: "But you have to leave! If you don't leave, you will die with him!"
The young woman looked miserable and begged several times, but what she got in exchange was a harsh riding whip!After being beaten several times, she finally went on the road crying, looking back every three steps and hesitating every five steps.Her husband could only lie on the ground and watch his wife go away, his eyes full of despair.
After this incident, the refugees felt sad, put away any hope of luck, and moved around one after another.
After clearly seeing the opponent's bottom line, Zhang Shao could only walk slowly with the help of Liu Ruyu. Although he was supported by Liu Ruyu, he could not get up fast. He was quickly overtaken by others and gradually fell behind...
The person holding the formation behind the refugee team was the man with the long mustache. He was riding on a yellow hussar, with two heads that had just been chopped off from the refugees tied to the sides of the saddle. Now he was staring at Zhang Shao and the three of them, his mustache was smiling but not smiling. He said: "Boy, are your legs and feet injured too?"
There was even three points of concern and five points of expectation in his tone: "It's really pitiful, but do you want to get on your horse and let me give you a ride?"
Zhang Shao just howled "Wow" and pretended to be afraid, speeding up and moving away from this person.
This guy was so ruthless that he separated the couple, how could he be so kind now?He was clearly entertaining them to pass the boring journey!If he had agreed foolishly, I'm afraid Zhang Shao would have been pushed down on purpose and his head would have been broken when he climbed up the horse.
Sure enough, when the mustache leader saw that Zhang Shao was not wearing the harness, he suddenly showed a fierce expression and swung his riding whip into the air behind them: "It seems that his legs and feet are safe, so hurry up! If not, don't blame Nai Gong's whip." Don’t have eyes!”
But where can Zhang Shao go quickly?It was cool in late autumn, but he was sweating profusely in pain. He could only rely on inertia to move forward with the help of Liu Ruyu... Flat land was okay, but the road to Dangyang County had to go over a long slope!What to do when going uphill?
"Ah Shao, it's okay, let me carry you! Just like when I was little." Standing at the foot of the slope, Liu Ruyu bit her lip and said, but after all, she was only an 11-year-old girl, tired and exhausted, and she had to take care of a child. It's so small, how can you carry it?
Asking for help from the refugees at the front?But now that weapons are at hand, everyone can only care about their own relatives, and no one has the responsibility to take care of them.
The three of them were getting slower and slower, and with a long mustache and a ferocious smile, they waved their riding whips again. Just when Zhang Shao closed his eyes and was about to get hit, someone came over and stood in front of Zhang Shao.
"Is this child separated from his parents? General, the old woman is his neighbor. He can't bear to see this, so he asked me to carry him away."
Zhang Shao was stunned. When he turned around, he saw a kind old woman in Jingchai sarong, smiling at him. Zhang Shao had an impression of her in his memory. This seemed to be...
Xu Shu’s mother!
