Taishi Ci finally appeared, but the more I wrote, the more I felt that he didn't seem like someone who would surrender. I wonder who can give some better suggestions so that Sun Ce can recruit him more reasonably? p.s. In history, the person who really bit his finger to beg for advice was Nan Jiyun, the divine arrow general of the Tang Dynasty. The ancients were so righteous, so admirable!
(The following is the text)
Xiangyang City. [bsp; Xiangyang City is heavily guarded. From time to time, groups of Jingzhou soldiers pass by the city. The cold light of their rifles is projected from the city tower, which is chilling to see. Xiangyang is connected to Ruluo in the north, Qin and Shu in the west, covering Huguang in the south, and overlooking Wuyue in the east. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. This time, Kuai Yue personally appointed Xiangyang as the prefect and took charge of the place. Cai Zhong, Cai Mao's younger brother, accompanied him. This shows the importance of Xiangyang in Jingzhou.
A fast horse pulled out a long trail of smoke in the field and rushed towards Xiangyang. Taishi Ci, who was sweating profusely, reined in the galloping horse and reluctantly stopped in front of Xiangyang's moat.
"I am Tai Shici of Donglai City. He is the deputy general of General Huo Jun, the defender of Xinye City. I am here to see Mr. Kuai Yidu!" Tai Shici shouted to the city.
"How dare you! Who dares to be so arrogant here? How can you be called Grand Administrator Kuai?" the general guarding the city shouted sternly.
"It turns out that Mr. Kuai is already the governor of Xiangyang City. I am indeed rude." Taishi Ci rode his horse in a circle in front of the moat. "I would like to inform the general, please, and tell me that my old friend Taishi Ci has requested to see me and report urgent military information."
"You look like an old friend of Prefect Kuai. Are you kidding me? Military emergency? Do you have any urgent military information? Get out of here, otherwise a burst of arrows will shoot you down and you will die in the city!" General Pi yelled. road.
Tai Shici was filled with anger, but he had to ask for help from others, so he had to hold back and not dare to get angry. "I really have something urgent to ask to see Prefect Kuai. I would like to ask the general to do something convenient and let me enter the city!" Taishi Ci couldn't help holding up the reins. The horse under his crotch was shaking its mane and tapping its hooves restlessly.
General Pi saw that Taishi Ci did not obey his orders and was still standing in front of the city. He sneered and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
Arrows were shot down like rain. Taishi Ci raised his spear to block the attack, and deflected the incoming arrows. Unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer, Taishi Ci hung up his iron spear, picked up the strong bow hanging next to the sedan saddle, and picked up a fallen arrow with his bare hands. Taishi Ci filled the long bow and shouted: "Shout." You see what I can do!"
The tip of the arrow whistled off the string, and hit the tassel on the helmet of the general on the city. The arrow was not yet determined, and the arrow and the tassel were nailed into the wooden pillar of the tower behind him, and the tail of the arrow buzzed. . The general's eyes rolled white, cold sweat broke out, his legs went weak, and he fainted on the city.
"What a skill with arrows!" A scribe with a grim face in the city clapped his hands and cheered, "It is really my old friend Taishi Ziyi. You are really blind. Why don't you quickly lower the suspension bridge and let Ziyi enter the city!"
The suspension bridge was lowered slowly, Taishi Ci jumped off his horse and led the horse into the city. Kuai Yue came out of the city with a smile on his face, grabbed Tai Shici's arms and shook them constantly: "Isn't Ziyi guarding Xinye? Why are you so leisurely and relaxed today that you come to Xiangyang City to see me?"
"Prefect Kuai." Tai Shici cupped his hands and said, "Xinye City has been surrounded by Sun Ce's army for several days, and the food and grass in the city can no longer support it for much longer. General Huo sent me to break out of the encirclement and ask for help from the prefect. I hope that Grand Prefect Kuai will be with you." In order to express my righteousness and a little old feeling with you, I will send troops quickly to help the new country!"
"Oh." The smile on Kuai Yue's face gradually disappeared. After pondering for a while, he pretended to smile and said: "Ziyi, General Huo is my lord's favorite general, the pillar of Jingzhou, and Xinye is the gateway to Xiangyang. I will definitely do my best." It's my own contribution. Ziyi, come here, let me help you wash away the dust first." Without any explanation, he pulled Taishi Ci towards the Xiangyang Prefect's Mansion, and ordered his entourage to go back first to prepare for the banquet.
In the central hall of the prefecture, all officials from Xiangyang gathered here, and even Cai Zhong, who was rarely seen, was sitting at the banquet. During the banquet, the strong aroma of wine floated in the air, and young and beautiful dancers sang and danced in the middle of the hall. Their bright long skirts and white long gauze kept rising and falling to the sound of music.
Kuai Yue waved his hand and said with a smile: "Bring wine to the princes and General Ziyi." The dancers rushed to the guests at the banquet, held up the wine glasses and encouraged everyone to drink.
Cai Zhong drank a glass of wine with a smile on his face, leaned to the side of Kuai Yue's voice and asked: "Xiandu is just a small lieutenant. Even if he is your old friend, there is no need to bring me here to accompany you. Is it because he is Huo Jun's men?" Cai Zhong put his arm around the slender waist of the dancer next to him, dropped the wine glass, grabbed a handful of the dancer's breasts, and said with a smile: "But the maid in your house is really seductive ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡±
Kuai Yue frowned, but the displeasure disappeared as soon as he appeared, and said in a deep voice: "Who is Huo Jun? General Cai doesn't think that I will really save Huo Jun. A smallXinye, if it is gone, it will be gone. Huo Jun is just an unknown Zhonglang general. He is not much more than him in Jingzhou, but not much less than him. Moreover, this man's family is still detained in Xiangyang by me. I am not afraid that he will not defend the city. . "
While Cai Zhong was groping the dancer, he said vaguely: "Then why are you entertaining this old friend of yours?"
"Tai Shi Ci is a rare brave general." Kuai Yue took a sip of the wine in his glass, "If he can keep it for his own use, he will have an extra help to guard Xiangyang."
"Since that's the case, then Mr. Alien can take matters into his own hands Ouch, baby" Cai Zhong no longer cared about what Kuai Yue said, and had already buried his head in his arms. In the maid's breasts.
Kuai Yue shook his head, refilled his glass with wine, stood up and raised his glass to Taishi Ci and said: "Come, Ziyi, we have been apart for a few years now, and we know we have to meet again today, so please drink together first." This cup!¡±
Tai Shici turned a blind eye to the enchanting dancer beside him, and the food and wine in front of him remained untouched. Seeing Kuai Yue toasting him, Taishi Ci suppressed his anger and stood up, poured the wine in the cup on the ground, and said with tears: "Prefect Kuai, thirty-two brothers died when I broke out from Xinye. Now, There are still thousands of brothers who are guarding Xinye City with General Huo. Do you know what they eat every day? They can only drink a bowl of thin rice soup and eat two pieces of semolina pancakes mixed with bark. If I Eating meat and drinking wine here today is inconsistent with justice and reason. I also ask Governor Kuai to send troops quickly and accompany me to relieve the siege of Xinye. When the work is completed, I will drink a glass of celebratory wine with the Governor."
"Ziyi is really a loyal man." Kuai Yue laughed twice, "It's just that Ziyi doesn't know. Now the military strength in Xiangyang City is also very tight, and last year's harvest in Jingbei was not good, and Xiangyang didn't have any at this time. There¡¯s leftover food.¡±
Taishi Ci was stunned when he heard this. He no longer cared about the distinction between superior and inferior, and asked: "Prefect Kuai, you have enough food to make wine, but you don't have enough food to save Xinye?" Taishi Ci pointed at Cai Zhong and said, "Prefect Kuai, don't you think so?" Would you rather raise this kind of trash rolling around in a pile of powder than save a loyal person who sacrificed his life for the country?"
"Ziyi's words are unavoidably biased." Kuai Yue put down the wine glass in his hand, "I serve under the lord's account equally. We shouldn't be separated from each other, but we should prioritize when things happen. Xiangyang is the gateway to Nanjun. If something goes wrong while rescuing Xinye, who can bear this responsibility?"
Taishi Ci slapped the table: "Don't you understand the principle of lips dying and teeth cold? Xinye is bordered by Wanluo to the north and Jingxiang to the south. If Xinye is lost, the entire Nanyang County will probably be lost. By then, only Xiangyang can stop it. Sun Ce¡¯s tens of thousands of troops?¡±
Kuai Yue flicked his sleeves and said displeasedly: "Ziyi, I have good intentions. If you are willing to stay in Xiangyang and help me, I still don't believe it. How can we not even stop Sun Ce, a young boy like him?" .¡±
Tai Shici gasped: "So, Governor Kuai is not planning to send troops?"
Kuai Yue said nothing, drank all the wine in the glass, sneered and shook his head.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Taishi Ci was not as furious as they imagined. I saw Taishi Ci looking up to the sky and laughing: "It's ridiculous." The laughter shook the house. As soon as the laughter stopped, Taishi Ci put the little finger of his left hand into his mouth and bit it off with all his strength. The guests present were stunned by his crazy move. The dancer next to Taishi Ci also screamed in surprise, holding the little finger in his hand. All the wine he drank spilled on himself.
Blood was gushing from Taishi Ci's severed finger, but he seemed not to feel the pain. He took out his little finger from his mouth. Taishi Ci slowly placed it on the wine table in front of him and said word by word: "The commander's order cannot be fulfilled. The invading soldiers cannot be wiped out, and the place we defend cannot be peaceful. I leave this finger to show my heart. I will report back to the commander now and swear to live and die with the city!" After that, Taishi Ci turned around and walked out of the central hall, got on his horse. , left the city.
After leaving the gate of Xiangyang City, Taishi Ci pulled the horse fiercely and looked back at the suspension bridge that was gradually rising. Taishi Ci slowly took off the long bow from the sedan saddle, and pulled out an arrow from the quiver. He opened the bow and nocked the arrow, pointing at the stone slab on the city wall with the word Xiangyang carved on it.
With a flash of white feathers, the arrow roared like a dragon's roar. The feathered arrow shattered the stone slab, and the arrowhead pierced the stone bricks of the city wall with a shaft at least half a foot long. Taishi Ci hung up his long bow and said loudly: "If Ci is lucky enough to survive, he will personally come and take the head of Prefect Kuai." After saying that, Taishi Ci clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and the black horse neighed wildly and ran away.
