Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 197 Wei Liao's Legacy
Wei Liao gently put down Yu Ji's bright wrist, and then walked out of the big tent with a dignified expression.

Xiang Zhuang walked out of the big tent and asked, "Military Master, how is Madam doing?"

Wei Liao stroked his long beard and sighed: "General, madam is sick with worry, and her mind is hard to understand. Just now at the bank of Wujiang River, she inevitably thought of the late king, so she fainted. Judging from the current situation, the situation is very bad. .”

Xiang Zhuang's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Does the military advisor mean that Madam is hopeless?"

"It's not like that." Wei Liao shook his head and said, "If Madam's heart knot can be untied and her mood brightened, then her illness can be cured without medicine."

Xiang Zhuang was silent all of a sudden, to untie Yu Ji's knot?Easier said than done!
Unless Xiang Yu is reborn, who can untie Yu Ji's knot?

Wei Liao sighed, and said again: "General, this old man will prescribe a medicine later on, it's better than nothing..." Before he finished speaking, Wei Liao shivered again.

Xiang Zhuang's heart tightened, and he said hastily: "Military Master, you'd better go back and rest."

Wei Liao nodded, wrapped his white tiger skin cloak tighter, turned around and left.

When Xiang Zhuang walked into Yu Ji's big tent again, Yu Ji had already woken up, but her complexion was very bad. Her beautiful face, which was originally as white as jade, now looked dull, and the beautiful couple who were originally as bright as stars Eyes, there is no expression at this time, giving the impression that they are empty and unfocused.

As the saying goes, a heart disease still needs a heart medicine doctor, who will treat Yu Ji's heart disease?

Xiang Zhuang asked himself that he didn't have the ability, but just watched Yu Ji's fragrant disappearance like this?

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Zhuang still persuaded: "Madam, the late king has gone, but you have to live on. When the late king entrusted you to the last general, he told you repeatedly that he must protect you...Madam If there is something wrong with you, and you will come under the Nine Springs in the future, how will the last general face the former king?"

Yu Ji didn't pay any attention, but just stared blankly ahead.

Xiang Zhuang wanted to persuade him a few more words, but he really didn't know what to say for a while, so he sighed and left the big tent in a depressed mood, but before leaving, he repeatedly told the two teams who were waiting on Yu Ji Female soldiers must remain vigilant and report immediately if they find anything wrong.

When he returned to his big tent, he happened to see Wei Yue going out of the tent with Yingzhen's support with her big belly, Baili Yishui and Qin Yu followed behind them, Baili Yishui was like a happy bird, Chattering non-stop, this young lady came to Jiangnan for the first time, and everything here made her feel novel.

Qin Yu just dealt with Baili Yishui casually.

Qin Yu's gaze has never left Ying Zhen. For Ying Zhen, Qin Yu has never had a good impression of him, and he has always maintained enough vigilance.

Seeing that it was Xiang Zhuang, the four girls hurriedly put on their laps to meet the ceremony.

After saluting, Wei Yue straightened up again with some difficulty, and said, "Husband, I heard that Mrs. Yu is ill, and Yue Niang and Sister Shiman want to visit her."

"Well, that's good." Xiang Zhuang said, suddenly his heart moved. Wei Yue is a kind girl by nature, but she has an innate affinity. It seems that she can get along well with anyone. Let her and Ying Zhen accompany her. Seeing Yu Ji talk more, maybe it can really untie Yu Ji's heart knot, and immediately said, "If you have time in the future, you should spend more time with Madam Yu."

Wei Yue and Ying Zhen agreed, and went gracefully, accompanied by Baili Yishui and Qin Yu.

##########
In the dead of night, just as Xiang Zhuang lay down, Jin Xiang's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "General, the military commander is dying!"

"What?!" Xiang Zhuang was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately jumped up from the couch. Ying Zhen, who was lying beside Xiang Zhuang, also got up quickly, and hurriedly dressed Xiang Zhuang. When Ying Zhen brought a bearskin cloak to replace him When Xiang Zhuang put it on, Xiang Zhuang had already put on his long riding boots hastily, then lifted the curtain again, and strode out.

Jin Xiang, who was outside the tent, immediately came forward to greet Xiang Zhuang.

Xiang Zhuang waved his hands and said as he walked, "Jin Xiang, what's going on?"

"The last general doesn't know either." Jin Xiang said with a bitter face, "It's just that the news came from over there just now, saying that the military division is dying, and asked the general to go there quickly."

Xiang Zhuang's heart sank, and he quickened his pace immediately.

Xiang Zhuang's big tent was only a few dozen steps away from Wei Liao's big tent, and in less than a moment, Xiang Zhuang arrived outside Wei Liao's tent, and there were already a dozen people gathered outside the tent, but they were all wounded in the army. medical.

Seeing Xiang Zhuang, the injury doctors who were racking their brains to study the condition all bowed to salute.

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and asked: "The military division is fine during the day, why is it not working all of a sudden?"

More than a dozen wounded doctors smiled wryly. This one said that the military division was old and had just gotten used to the dry and cold weather in the north, and suddenly returned to the cold and humid south. The wind and cold caused the serious illness, so the condition deteriorated sharply.

In the end, more than a dozen wounded doctors actually quarreled.

"That's enough, shut up for me!" Xiang Zhuang couldn't bear it any longer, and yelled, the dozens of wounded doctors fell silent, but Xiang Zhuang didn't care about these wounded doctors any more, and immediately lifted the curtain and walked into Wei Liao's room tent.

Wei Liao was half lying on the soft couch, the white tiger fur cloak that Xiang Zhuang gave him was covering him.

Several oil lamps had already been lit in the tent, the light was very bright, but Wei Liao's complexion was very gray, especially Wei Liao's lips were faintly blue, and Xiang Zhuang's heart sank infinitely. Omen of the world!

"General, you are here." Seeing Xiang Zhuang, Wei Liao smiled slightly with a very peaceful expression.

For some unknown reason, Xiang Zhuang felt his nose suddenly sore, and his eyes were filled with tears in an instant!

"Military teacher, what's the matter with you?" Xiang Zhuang suppressed his tears, and said sadly, "Didn't you be fine during the day, why did you become like this after only a few hours since I didn't see you?"

"General, birth, old age, sickness and death are the cycle of heaven, which cannot be reversed by manpower." Wei Liao waved his hand lightly, and said, "As the saying goes, life at seventy is rare since ancient times, and an old man who lives seventy-six is ​​considered a long life." After this pause, Wei Liao continued, "It's just that the general is about to return to Jiangdong, there are a few things that I really can't worry about..."

"Military teacher, tell me, I'm listening." Xiang Zhuang knew that Wei Liao was about to confess his funeral.

Wei Liao said: "Don't rush the matter of crossing the river. Before returning to Jiangdong, the general should send some of the veterans borrowed from Jiangdong to go back first, and use their mouths to publicize to the people of Jiangdong that the general Yu Yemayuan was ordered in the face of danger, and Yu Shouchun Turning the tide, defeating Liu Bang in the Dabie Mountains, and moving thousands of miles to fight the arduous journey of breaking Liu Bang's general situation."

Xiang Zhuang nodded silently. This move should be what later generations call political campaigning.

Wei Liao took a breath, and then said: "When those veteran soldiers have gained momentum in Jiangdong, it will not be too late for the general to cross the river. Bingfeng is shown to Jiangdong's elders, and Jiangdong's elders must be told with practical actions that the hope of Dachu's revival... all depends on the general!"

Xiang Zhuang nodded again. This was to show his strength, and it was also a way to build political momentum.

After saying this, Wei Liao's face suddenly became more rosy, and his spirit became more full. He was no longer as gray as before, but Xiang Zhuang's heart became more and more heavy, because he knew that this was roughly the same as before. According to the legend, Wei Liao's life has officially entered the countdown stage.

Wei Liao said again: "After arriving in Wuzhong, the general should remember the three words of the old man, don't do it, talk less, watch more!"

"Military commander, don't worry, I'll remember." Xiang Zhuang suppressed tears and nodded heavily, "Don't do it, talk less, watch more!"

Wei Liao nodded lightly, and said again: "General, before you see the situation clearly, don't act rashly, and don't express your opinion casually, you need to know that you will lose if you talk too much! In short, when you arrive in Wuzhong, the first thing you have to do is Read more, then analyze in detail, which faction is worth wooing, which faction must be isolated, and which faction must be struck by thunder!"

"Also, once you've seen the situation, don't hesitate when it's time to act..." Having said this, Wei Liao suddenly smiled, and said, "I'm too old to worry about this, the general is brave and resolute, and decisive , It seems that there has never been a time of hesitation and timidity, ha ha."

"Military division..." Looking at Wei Liao's calm smile, Xiang Zhuang's heart felt as if a knife had cut him.

Although Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao have only been together for one year, they have established a deep friendship unconsciously. Even consciously or unconsciously, Xiang Zhuang has regarded Wei Liao as his elder. Now, The only elder with whom Xiang Zhuang could have an sympathetic relationship is about to pass away, can he not be sad?Can you be miserable?

Wei Liao paused for a moment, then said a little shyly: "General, I have a funeral request."

Xiang Zhuang couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes any longer, so he turned his head and quickly wiped away the tears, and said: "Sir, tell me, I'm listening."

Wei Liao pointed to the dozens of scrolls of bamboo slips on the low table beside the couch, and said solemnly: "The old man has been following the general to fight for the past few years. During this period, he has a lot of feelings, and he has recorded them one by one. A total of 42 scrolls of Wei Liaozi have been gathered. The general chooses a talent that can be cultivated, and pass it on, and don't let the old man's lifelong learning be lost to the world."

"Military commander, don't worry!" Xiang Zhuang said with a sob, "Wei Liaozi's 42 volumes will never be lost. In the future, Wei Liaozi's 42 volumes will definitely become a compulsory course for the Taixue and government schools of the Great Chu Empire!"

"Compulsory course?" Wei Liao's eyes lit up immediately. Although this is a new term for later generations, Wei Liao clearly understood it. He nodded slightly at Xiang Zhuang, and then slowly closed his eyes. Once closed, never opened again!A generation of military strategists, a generation of strategic master Wei Liao, passed away quietly like this...
