Chapter 747 Sunset
Badou Mountain is not high, it is just steep. At this moment, Zhang Fei was sitting on the shortest mountain road watching the sunset in the west.
There, the sun gradually sets.
At this moment, the formerly majestic sun became so small and fragile, as if all its heat had been exhausted in just a short day.
And it cast the last remaining light and heat on this battlefield, and the shadows of the hills and trees became longer and longer. They covered the battlefield with blood and sand, as if all this was destined to be forgotten.
Indeed, thousands of years from now, who will remember that there will be a tragic fight here, and who will remember me, Zhang Jide?
At this time, Zhang Yide was sitting on the big rock, and the setting sun shone on him, making him shine. It also decorated the Badou Mountain behind him with golden color.
Maybe this is the most beautiful time in Badou Mountain today.
Looking at the sunset in the distance, Zhang Yide thought.
In fact, he did not regret it. Today he finally showed his majesty. In this battle, not only thirty or forty famous warriors died in his hands, Zhang Yide was very happy to kill them.
And if he knew that two of King Zhang's generals died because of him, he might be even happier. Even knowing that he would inevitably die, he remained indifferent.
This is the fate of us border warriors, wrapped in horse leather, wrapped in horse leather.
But Zhang Fei is not without regrets. He thinks that he is unparalleled in martial arts, but he doesn’t know why. He is always unlucky and does not have a real stage for him to perform. Otherwise, by today, the whole world would have known me, Zhang Fei. You must be brave.
But if you have regrets, you have regrets. Who doesn’t have regrets in life? Just like my brother, isn’t he also conceited and ambitious? It's a pity that we can't help the Han Dynasty after all.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fei said to Wu Yi beside him:
"Old Wu, go down and surrender. All this has nothing to do with you. You have only been with my brother for so long, there is no need."
At this time, Wu Yi's thigh was wounded and he said angrily:
"Zhang Yide, you want to humiliate me? You can die for the Han Dynasty, but I, Wu Yi, can't do it? What this big Han lacks is a martyr who will sacrifice his life for righteousness."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei was not angry at all. He shrugged and muttered:
"I didn't die for the Han Dynasty, I died for my brother."
This time Wu Yi choked.
At this moment, he looked at Zhang Fei, whose armor was covered in blood, and once again lamented that this winged man was really brave.
Even though he was covered in blood, Wu Yi knew that it was the blood of the enemy soldiers. Zhang Fei killed the most from the beginning to the end, but he was not injured at all.
Therefore, Wu Yi couldn't help but said:
"Yide, with your courage, you can conquer the world. The enemy forces at the foot of Badou Mountain can surround us but they will never be able to surround you. You might as well break out by yourself, otherwise your bravery will be wasted."< br>
Zhang Fei snorted, shook his head and said:
"I just can't stand you kids from aristocratic families. You always act like you are talented and wasteful, making it seem like people are really different. You think I shouldn't die because I have unparalleled martial arts in the world? Then let me ask you, is it true that Wu Yi is not as good as me in martial arts, not as strong as me, and not as beautiful as me?"
Wu Yi was really choked. Is this Yide a fool? Can't you hear good and bad words?
Zhang Fei seemed to hear Wu Yi's thoughts and sighed:
"It's not that I, Zhang Fei, don't know good from good, but I really have this understanding. I am a wealthy person from the frontier. Although I am not as good as you, Lao Wu, I am still a figure on the ground. So you want me and Taishan I really can't live up to the idea that all living beings are equal like the army. I even kind of hate those people in the lower class. These people always smell bad, their eyes are always numb, and even their backs are rickety, so don't. Think I am like the Taishan Army.”
Wu Yi is listening.
Zhang Fei pulled out the head from his backpack, it was Guo Liang.
He placed Guo Liang's head on the big stone where he was sitting just now, then bowed his head three times, turned to Wu Yi and said:
"Just talk about General Taishan. In my opinion, he doesn't deserve to die. It wasn't for me, Zhang Fei, to make a sudden attack. This man did take care of the situation calmly. But what happened in the end? Didn't he still die by my hand? So, I After killing many people, I came to the realization that nothing in this world can be unequal, but only this death treats everyone equally. He can die, you Wu Yi can die, I, Zhang Fei, can die, even my brother. So what if you have great ambitions? Even if you are destined to die, you will still die.”
Having said this, Zhang Fei patted Wu Yi who was lying down and said calmly:
"So, Lao Wu, be calm, the killing is enough anyway, isn't it?"
At this moment, Wu Yi had no intention of persuading Zhang Fei. He knew that this man was really wise.
He was lying on the ground, looking at the corpses lying on the ground downhill, Xiao Suo said:
"Yes, once you are lucky, your life is over."
……
In the mountain path, Dian Wei, Li Damu, Ma Chao, and Pang De climbed up the stairs, followed by dense soldiers.
This section of the mountain road is very easy to walk. I don’t know when or who built a neat mountain road on this section of the road.
This is convenient for warriors like Dian Wei who are fully equipped with armor.
Dian Wei and Li Damu walked in the front, followed by Ma Chao and Pang De. Everyone kept silent and raised their heads and hurried on.
Until they reached the end of the stone steps, a group of old and new tombs appeared in front of everyone. These tombs had the foundation stones and unified regulations, and were densely scattered on the right slope of the stone steps.
Obviously, this is a family cemetery, and the stone steps at the feet of Dian Wei and others should have been built by the descendants of these tomb owners, perhaps to facilitate the worship of these ancestors.
But at this moment, the years are mottled, and most of the writing on the tombstone can no longer be seen clearly. Only the pine trees on the right slope stand gracefully. They are bathed in the setting sun, making the place even more ghostly.
Dian Wei just glanced at it. Behind him, a group of soldiers rushed to the cemetery. This place was very suitable for hiding soldiers. These soldiers rushed over to check if there was any ambush there.
Dian Wei was very cautious and was in no hurry to continue advancing before the soldiers returned.
Of course he understood that the further he dragged back, the more the enemy's physical strength would recover, and it was getting dark soon, making night attacks more dangerous.
But Dian Wei didn't care, he only felt a ball of fire burning in his chest. The more he suppressed this ball of anger at the moment, the more ferocious it would explode later.
When he was in Heji, he took one of his troops south and encountered the Han army. In that night battle, two of his most trusted subordinates died, and he was devastated that night.
But today, when he saw Guo Liang's broken body, and saw his former brother's brothers lying there separated by yin and yang, the grief of the past hit him again.
Then Xi Shen deserves to die. It is not a pity to die ten times. This kind of beast who calls brothers on the lips but wants to climb up by stepping on the brothers should die.
He still felt that the king had softened his heart and gave that bitch a good beating. It was me, Dian Wei, and I had to give him a blow.
And it's not enough for Xi Shen to die alone, Zhang Fei is still alive.
This is a good thing, so that Zhang Fei can fall into his own hands, so there will be no regrets.
So he couldn't tolerate any mistakes, so he suppressed and suppressed until the soldiers ran over and shook their heads at him.
At this moment, Dian Wei took a deep breath and said to Li Damu:
"Damu, I will attack first in a moment, and you will be my successor."
Li Damu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.
If it had been in the past, Ma Chao would have jumped out long ago. He is not someone who respects his predecessors. But since he narrowly escaped death in Lu Bu's hands, he has changed a lot.
Not only did his face become criss-crossed, he became even more so his character.
If he was a roaring tiger in the past, then Ma Chao is now a top hunter who can hide in the hills, hide his claws and teeth.
So he didn't fight with Dian Wei because he knew that Zhang Fei was not that simple.
Thinking of this, Ma Chao tightened his sword and said to himself:
"I thought that after Lu Bu died, there would be no such person in the world. I didn't expect that there would be Zhang Fei. If I kill this Fei, I can get out of Lu Bu's shadow." Soon, Dian Wei walked further and further ahead. Quickly, until they reached the first slope, they saw a dense group of soldiers waiting for them on the mountain road ahead.
Dian Wei didn't say anything, and he led his soldiers to attack.
Behind him, Li Damu gritted his teeth and came up with his armored soldiers to support him, but he did not surpass Dian Wei.
……
On the top of Badou Mountain, Liu Bei had already heard the fighting on the halfway slope. He looked at the trembling Yang Xiu beside him and said with a smile:
"Dezu, do you regret it? Your Yang family bet on me this time, and it seems that you will lose everything."
Smiling, Liu Bei coughed for a while, his face flushed, and it took him a while to recover.
As he coughed, a wound on his shoulder was pulled open, and blood began to appear.
Yes, Liu Bei was injured. During the most intense moment of the Flying Leopard Army's attack on the mountain, Liu Bei went up with backup support, but finally retreated due to injuries.
They had indeed caused heavy damage to the Flying Leopard Army before, but they were not without results, and the result was the corpses lying in this mountain shed at this moment.
These are all Liu Bei's personal troops, relying on each other, with no less than a hundred weapons.
These are the prices of victory.
At this moment, there were dozens of disabled soldiers who followed Liu Bei back to the hut on the top of the mountain. They tried to lean together, drinking the mountain spring water brought by the robes, and breathing heavily.
The large amount of blood loss made them extremely thirsty, but no matter how much water they drank, they could not make up for the blood lost. Just now, Liu Bei had sent away four of his subordinates in person.
So even though he was smiling at Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu understood how sad his brother-in-law was in his heart.
Liu Bei is a very emotional person, which not only gives him a strong sense of empathy and cares about other people's feelings, but it also makes him more hurt than others.
And for a qualified hero, too much emotion is always inappropriate.
But Yang Xiu admired Liu Bei's delicate emotions. Perhaps it was because of this emotion that he had a deep love for the Han Dynasty, and he also had a bond with people like Zhang Fei and Chen Dao that was far beyond words of loyalty.
So after Yang Xiu heard Liu Bei's self-deprecation, he said to Liu Bei seriously:
"Xiu never regrets, and I, the Yang family, did not choose Mr. Xuande, but I, the Yang family, are very grateful to follow Mr. Xuande to support the Han Dynasty. In this dark and desolate apocalypse, we are very grateful to you for making us become that person." Daoguang.”
Liu Bei disagreed. His eyes were still looking at Zhongpo, where the sound of fighting was getting louder.
He said to Yang Xiu leisurely:
"Actually, it's not what you said. I am originally from the Han clan. It was my father and grandfather who gave me life, and the Han clan gave me my identity. In the end, it is only natural that I dedicate myself to the Han clan. So Dezu, I, Liu Xuande, am just As a loser, even if I think about my life, it seems that I have never succeeded. How can I be the light in your mouth? ”
Yang Xiu's following words are worthy of Liu Bei's lifelong memory. He loudly said to Liu Bei:
"There has never been anything that should be like this. Are you, Liu Xuande, the only one who is a clan member of the Han Dynasty? There are so many people in the world after Gaozu, but how many people can go upstream and work for the revival of the Han Dynasty? This world just lacks the should. Shouldn't the emperor care for all the people? Shouldn't the wise officials work together to benefit the country? But how many people in this world should do it? "
"And you Liu Xuande, you are the hero I admire. Even if we are defeated today, so what, we will recruit our old troops when we go to the underworld. Wherever we go, we will protect the world of this great man."
< br>
After saying that, Yang Xiuwei paused and knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Liu Bei was silent at this moment. He helped Yang Xiu up, patted the dust on Yang Xiu's robe, and said with a smile:
"Dezu, I am going down with my brothers. You should come too."
At this moment, Yang Xiu held back his grief, drew out his Huanshou Sword, and responded loudly:
"Follow Duke Liu to kill the enemy!"
After this sound, dozens of trembling figures stood up, and they roared with full energy:
""Follow Liu Gong to kill the enemy! ”
Then, led by the first two figures, they rushed down the mountain without hesitation.
……
In Xi Shen's tent, Zhang Chong sat on Xi Shen's mat, with incense sticks beside him.
Half an hour had passed since Dianwei and the others attacked the mountain. Since he had set a half hour, it was half an hour. When he saw the last bit of incense faded, he said to Cai Que outside the account:
"The time is up, let Zhang Liao and others go up the mountain with me."
Cai was indeed a little anxious outside the tent. He advised:
"Your Majesty, it's dark. It's too dangerous to attack the mountain at night. Let me take Zhang Liao and the others up first."
At this time, Zhang Chong had already drawn the Huanshou knife and walked out of the tent.
There, Zhang Liao, Cheng Pu, Gao Shun and other generals were ready with armor and were waiting solemnly.
Zhang Chong just said to Cai Que:
"A Liang's head is still on the mountain. He has waited too long."
But just as Zhang Chong stepped forward, he saw a blood-stained soldier running down the mountain road ahead.
It was getting a little dark at this time, but Zhang Chong still recognized that this was Ma Dai.
Ma Dai's bag was broken, and he was holding a withered head in his hand. He ran to Zhang Chong, kneeled on one knee and reported:
"Your Majesty, the four generals Dian, Li, Ma, and Pang have fulfilled their mission. They killed Zhang Fei and Liu Bei was seriously injured and captured."
With that said, Ma Dai offered the head in his hand.
This is Guo Liang. His head is very pale due to long-term blood loss, but his frightened and angry expression can still be seen.
Zhang Chong held Guo Liang's head and couldn't stop crying.
Seeing this, Ma Dai hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Your Majesty, Liu Bei is too injured to go down the mountain. Before he died, he said he wanted to see your Majesty."
Zhang Chong looked at Badou Mountain in the darkness before him, sighed, handed Guo Liang's head to Guo Zu next to him, and asked him to sew Guo Liang's head back up.
After giving these instructions, Zhang Chong walked up the mountain path.
Behind him, Cai Que and others followed suit, and Ma Dai quickly stood up, preparing to lead the way for Zhang Chong.
But just a few steps up the mountain path, Zhang Chong suddenly returned.
Ma Dai and others didn't know why, but they had no choice but to follow.
In the darkness, he heard the king's words:
"Go and tell Dian Wei and the others to bury Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in Badou Mountain. By the way, tell Liu Bei that I, Zhang Chong, recognize him as a hero."
After saying that, Ma Dai looked at the king and the others and walked towards the outside of the mountain without looking back.
He was in a daze for a while, then turned and ran towards the darkness, bringing the king's last words to Liu Bei.
