Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 146 Old Things (1)

Zuo Mu watched Sima Cheng quietly, and said for a while, "I want to hear about the war 11 years ago."

Sima Cheng was caught off guard, his hands stopped suddenly, and he froze in mid-air.

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask about this?" After a long while, Sima Cheng finally came to his senses, and slowly lowered his hand, coaxing him softly, "That was all a long time ago, and it's not fun at all. Why don't we change the subject, listen How about something else?"

"No, I want to listen to this. Didn't you say that to understand a person, you must first understand his past. You don't even want me to know the past. Could it be that you plan to let me run away again. "

Seeing Sima Cheng's reluctance, Zuo Mu simply got angry and said,
"Tell you, if I step out of the gate of King Kang's Mansion one day, I may really not come back. Don't regret it then."

"Oh, well. Since you want to hear it, let me tell you."

Sima Cheng let out a long sigh, and finally spoke eloquently,

"I remember that it was a winter day 11 years ago, and that winter came very early that year.

Winter has just entered in October, and there have been several heavy snowfalls in a row, and the weather is extremely cold.

Abbot Wuming of Tianlong Temple watched the stars at night, and after divination, he told his father that this year might be a year of disaster.

Father didn't take this seriously, he thought that the so-called calamity year mentioned by the abbot was nothing more than natural disasters and the people's food and clothing issues, and he didn't think too much about other things.

As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, urgent news came one after another from the border.

First, Heishui caused troubles one after another in the south of the Five Ridges, and the harassed people in the frontier were in dire straits.

Although the matter is not too big, Lingnan is located in a remote place, so it is obviously not realistic to send troops from the capital.

The closest to Lingnan is Luocheng, which is guarded by General Wei and his son all the year round.

After a thorough consideration, Father Huang sent Wei Yeran, who was closest to Lingnan, to quell the chaos with a swipe of his pen.

Unexpectedly, just as Yeran left, Luocheng was attacked by Dayu on a large scale.

General Wei urgently asked for support for eight hundred miles, and old general Wei volunteered to lead an army of [-] to support.

Luo City was originally fought by Old General Wei and Princess Dachang when they were young, and the two of them knew the terrain and battle conditions around Luo City like the back of their hands.Half a year ago, his father thought that the two of them were old, so he called them back to Beijing to take care of them.

Father Huang originally thought that Old General Wei could lead the army there in person, and he would be able to cure the illness and stabilize the frontier again.

Unexpectedly, Old General Wei rushed to Luocheng, and just as he fought with Dayu, he was suddenly flanked by the Yueshi again.

The army was attacked from the front and back, so they had to retreat while fighting, and were finally trapped in Guanshan.

When the capital got another news, it had been half a month. In a desperate situation, my father sent me to lead an army of 20 to solve the problem.

Yeran and I have studied the art of war with General Wei since we were young, and we have led troops to war since we were 15 years old. We have never been defeated in a battle. Everyone thought that if I went here, I would definitely defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

However, no one expected that this expedition turned out to be the greatest disaster in my life, and I lost this battle completely.

Not only did they fail to rescue the father and son of General Wei, they killed them in battle, and even half of the Flying Eagle Army they took with them were killed or injured.

The 20 army was helplessly trapped in the Shaan Valley, unable to do anything to resist, and could only watch helplessly as the opponent used arrows, stones, and finally torches to burn himself and his brothers who were born and died.

In the entire Flying Eagle Army, only a team led by Hussar General Dong Li escaped by luck because they went to Lingnan to support Wei Yeran. "

Sima Cheng spoke very slowly, after a few words, he paused, especially when he finally talked about his brother being burned, he choked up and couldn't continue.

Although it had been 11 years, Zuo Mu still clearly felt his emotional fluctuations. Perhaps this battle had really become an eternal pain in his heart.

Zuo Mu couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken, and gently caressed Sima Cheng's chest. After a long while, he continued to ask, "Then, after the defeat, you didn't suspect it. Could it be that someone knew about foreign countries and deliberately leaked secrets?"

"After the accident, Dong Li, Ye Ran and others immediately thought of this layer.

Because the plan we have formulated is to surprise the soldiers and win the battle quickly.If they hadn't read the battle map in advance and knew the inside story, they couldn't have set up an ambush in such a short period of time.

So after a discussion, he and Ye Ran decided to split up. He returned to Beijing to report the war to his father, and Ye Ran was responsible for finding the corpses of his grandfather, father and me in Guanshan. "

"What?" Zuo Mu was stunned, and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that the old general Wei and his son just disappeared like you back then, and didn't die?"

"No, they were indeed killed." Perhaps because of his deep feelings, Sima Cheng stopped talking about the death of Old General Wei, was silent for a while, and then continued after a long while,

"They died terribly, all of them were decapitated. It is said that Ye Ran did not dare to recognize their headless corpses when he found them. It was the Eldest Princess who personally rushed to the frontier to build the coffin and recognize them."

"Different body? Oh my god, it's too cruel. It seems that those people not only have enmity with you, but also hated Old General Wei and his son." Zuo Mu couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart when he heard that, and hugged him even tighter. Hold Sima Cheng's waist.

For a woman who lost her husband and son overnight, it is conceivable that the eldest princess suffered no less pain than Sima Cheng.

"What about you, how did you escape?" After a pause, Zuo Mu continued to ask.

In fact, she understood that it was a very cruel thing for Sima Cheng to keep asking her like this, it was tantamount to uncovering his dusty wounds and adding salt to them.

But Zuo Mu, a doctor, understands that this matter has always been a knot in Sima Cheng's heart. He has been covering it all these years. It has long been a cancer in my heart, deeply rooted.

At this moment, whether as a wife or a doctor, Zuo Mu is obliged to help him find a channel to confide, spread the wound and expose the cancerous tumor to the sun, so that the virus will have a chance to heal and Sima Cheng will be truly relieved one day.

Sima Cheng lowered his head and planted a light kiss on Zuo Mu's forehead. Fang continued to speak slowly, "I used to have a habit of drinking a small amount of wine on the eve of the formation of troops in the past. good condition.

The other party caught my habit at that time and mixed the highly poisonous dove wine in the wine, so at that time, when I entered the valley, I vomited blood and fell into a coma.

It was the deputy general Wang Yue who begged for his life and found a small path to carry up the mountain, and he was lucky enough to save his life. "

"Wang Yue, is that the traitor?"

As soon as he heard the name Wang Yue, Zuo Mu's mind immediately flashed the man in the monk's robe who was beaten to bloody flesh.
