Chapter 222 Is your heart as strong as iron?
Thank you to brother ih for the monthly ticket and brother liuyao for the reward. It¡¯s the holidays. Please subscribe and reward, haha)
The dust and mist like a sandstorm is rolling towards our location at a very fast speed. Who else can create such a momentum but a large group of cavalry.
Wan suddenly remembered that after Liu Feng defeated Cao Ren, he surrendered a large number of Cao's troops, and there must be many cavalry among them. This time when he entered Shu to fight, how could Liu Feng not bring these elite cavalry with him.
In an instant, Jiang Wan¡¯s heart was hit hard again.
The force is coming very fast. The hundreds of remnant soldiers on our side are outnumbered and cannot escape far before they are overtaken. With such a formation, they will be easily overwhelmed by the enemy's cavalry.
Wan had no choice but to order the three hundred defeated soldiers to line up against the mountain, preparing to deal with the impact of the enemy cavalry.
In the field, fighting in formation is the only way to resist cavalry. Escape is the only way to death.
Hundreds of troops were killed, many of them had discarded their weapons, and there were only a few archers. Jiang Wan could only piece together an uneven infantry formation based on the current situation.
In front of my eyes, a sandstorm is approaching.
Wan stood in the horse formation, holding a sharp sword, his gray-haired face full of solemnity, and he looked like he was ready to die generously and fight in a bloody battle.
None of the soldiers have such a strong heart as him.
Wan read the sage's book, and he had the ambition of being a loyal minister who would not serve the two masters and be generous in his righteousness, so he could fight to the death without hesitation.
The soldiers are not the same. These Yizhou soldiers were originally forced to fight by Liu Bei. Now that the city has been lost, their own army is defeated, and the pursuers are cavalry. They are not fools.
We know very well that fighting like this will only lead to death.
The weapon hand is trembling, and the heartbeat is accelerating as the enemy approaches.
When the fierce cavalry rushed out of the heavy fog like a Shura from hell, everyone's heart skipped a beat, as if they had received a heavy punch, and their entire hearts were almost filled with fear. It's like bursting out of the chest.
One hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.
Ah~~¡±
Under the pressure of such a powerful momentum, I don¡¯t know which person in the formation was the first to collapse mentally, yelling and running away with his head in his hands.
A towering infantry formation is like a fragile glass wall. If it is broken through with one click, it will be shattered.
Hundreds of crippled soldiers moved with a roar, howling and crying and fled in all directions.
Stop, everyone, stop for me. Anyone who dares to act without permission will be dealt with by military law. "
Wan roared loudly, trying to suppress the collapse. He even swung his sword to kill several soldiers who escaped from him, but it was still to no avail.
Defeat is like a mountain falling.
There were not many people left in the Wan.
The momentum is gone.
Wan sighed, reined in his horse, turned around, and joined the escaping team.
He kept whipping his whip and beating the tired horse. There were fewer and fewer soldiers around him. In the end, he was the only one left, running alone on the mountain road.
Behind him, the enemy is still chasing after him.
How can the horses of the land be compared with the good horses of the north? This war horse has been running wildly for a day and is now exhausted. Under Jiang Wan's force, it ran for several miles and soon was panting like an ox. Spray foam.
Suddenly, the horse's hooves stepped into a depression hidden in the grass. The war horse's hooves gave way and fell to its knees with a pitiful scream.
Wan didn't even have time to be surprised, before he was thrown away.
After landing on the ground, due to inertia, Jiang Wan rolled forward a full three feet before stopping.
The ground was covered with legless grass, which offset a lot of the force of the impact. Even so, under this impact, Jiang Wan also felt severe pain in his muscles and bones, as if they were falling apart.
When Jiang Wan climbed up, holding on to his seemingly broken ribs, the pursuers behind him were already dozens of steps away, and his poor horse was already lying on the ground, foaming and twitching.
If you have no hope of survival, if you continue to struggle, you will only make your enemies laugh.
Wan Suoxing sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, as if sitting and waiting to die.
The sound gradually stopped, and the pursuers seemed to have stopped a few steps away. All that could be heard was the snorting of the horses.
When Liu Feng saw the man sitting cross-legged, he recognized Jiang Wan at a glance.
Although he had never met Jiang Wan before, since he was blocked by this opponent in Wu County, he ordered people who knew his face to draw several shadow pictures.
? ?Although this person looked shabby, he could still vaguely recognize his face shape, and he also had a demeanor that was difficult for others to match. Naturally, Liu Feng recognized him at a glance.
It is really a great irony that Zhuge Liang's successor in history, Jiang Wan, one of the four wise prime ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty, is sitting here in such embarrassment, waiting to die.
Seeing this scene, Liu Feng's previous anger towards Jiang Wan disappeared. As a winner, he felt that Jiang Wan was a little aggrieved and pitiful.
Dismounting from his horse, Liu Feng slowly walked up to Jiang Wan, looked at the iron-faced face with his eyes closed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gongyan, you are so excited to sit cross-legged and meditate in this barren mountain."
Wan Suoxing even closed her mouth, just sitting there motionless like a statue, barely even breathing.
Seeing Jiang Wan's demeanor, Feng felt more and more that the scholar-general in front of him was a bit cute.
Come on, bring some wine. "
When the soldiers were in a hurry, they took off two bags of wine. Liu Feng took one bag for himself and placed the other bag in front of Jiang Wan. He said cheerfully: "Mr. Gongyan, the scenery here is pleasant. It's beautiful and delicious. What's wrong with the delicacies now?" If you don't want to drink, come and let me have a good drink with you."
Wan¡¯s eyelids trembled slightly, but there was still no response.
Feng didn't care about him, he just raised his head and took a deep breath.
"Good wine, very happy." Liu Feng wiped his mouth and praised.
Wan¡¯s brows furrowed slightly, as if she was puzzled by Liu Feng¡¯s behavior and couldn¡¯t figure out what kind of trick this kid was playing.
Feng raised his head and took a close look at Jiang Wan with his wide eyes. He curled up his lips with a sly smile and put the mouth of the wine bag in front of Jiang Wan's nose.
Mr. Gongyan, you can really hold back such a good wine. "
Wan ran away wildly all night, without dripping water or touching a grain of rice. At this moment, when he was unbearably hungry, the smell of wine hit his nose, which immediately made him greedy, and he instinctively swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Feng shook his head and sighed: "It seems that you plan to die generously. In that case, this wine will be treated as a farewell for you. Are you still afraid that my wine may be poisoned?"
Wan couldn't bear it anymore, so she thought that she would die anyway, so she might as well have a good drink before she died.
As soon as the thought came to mind, Jiang Wan suddenly opened his eyes, glared at Liu Feng, picked up the bag of good wine in front of him, raised his head and drank endlessly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Wan drank the entire bag of wine without leaving a drop.
After he finished, he threw the wine bag on the ground and said with an eyebrow: "If you want to kill, just kill him. How can I, Jiang Wan, be afraid of death?"
He is a scholar, but he also has the heroic spirit of a brave warrior, and he is indeed worthy of being Zhuge Liang's successor.
People are not difficult, it¡¯s just a sword.
It is the heart that hurts the most, and what Liu Feng wanted to kill was the hearts of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
Wan is the sword that kills the heart.
" Gongyan, it's easy for a person to die, it only lasts a moment. But if you die, what will happen to your wife and children left in Jingzhou?" "
Feng took out his most advantageous weapon.
Wan's heart suddenly shook. Her original determination to die generously was reduced a lot because of the words "wife and children".
Not only your wife and children, but also your mother. As the head of the family, you abandoned the whole family and sacrificed your life for Liu Bei, a hypocritical man. Do you think it was worth it? "
Wan knew that Liu Feng moved out of his family to persuade you to surrender. He knew this, but when he thought of the faces of his mother, wife and children, his iron-firm belief began to melt unconsciously.
I have received great kindness from Uncle Liu Huang, how can I betray him? I know General Liu that you have a benevolent attitude, so I think you won't embarrass my little family. "
Wan's tone was finally no longer so decisive. Although he still claimed that he would not betray Liu Bei, Liu Feng could feel that his will was wavering.
Feng smiled faintly: "The war between the two armies will not bring harm to the family members. How can I, Liu Feng, not know this? If not, I could be like Liu Bei and take the family members of the Yizhou soldiers as hostages and force them to work for him."
With Liu Feng's promise, Jiang Wan felt at ease, and his resistance and hostility towards Liu Feng seemed to have disappeared.
Seeing this, Feng took out a letter from his arms and said, "I have always looked up to Mr. Gongyan. Before I went to Shu, I visited the old lady at her house. She had a letter here and asked me to forward it to Mr. Gongyan. Yan."
Hearing the letter from his mother, Jiang Wan suddenly became excited. He grabbed the letter, opened it and read it carefully, and gradually he could not help but burst into tears.
In fact, Liu Feng never visited Jiang Wan's mother. He just sent someone back to Jingzhou temporarily to ask Pang Tong to go to Jiang Wan's house.?I asked for a letter.
But this letter was not obtained through coercion. Most of the content in the letter was that the old lady reported to her son that he was safe and hoped that the family could reunite soon.
However, Jiang Wan was greatly moved when he saw it.
The desire to die was gone in the blink of an eye because of these loving motherly words.
Since Mr. Gongyan is unwilling to surrender to me, I, Liu Feng, am not the kind of person to force others into trouble. However, as of now, I cannot let Mr. Gongyan go to Liu Bei to continue to be my enemy. In this case, how can I fight for the bloody battle? The soldiers were waiting.
Let me send my husband back to Jingzhou to reunite with his family. As for the future, let's talk about it in the future. "
This is to give Jiang Wan a step down, so that you will not bear the name of betraying Liu Bei in name, and you can comfort yourself in your heart.
"When you return to Jingzhou, you will be on my Liu Feng's territory. After things change, sooner or later you will be able to use it for me."
The calculation of the abacus was done very well, and Jiang Wan was also a sensible person, so he naturally knew the intention.
But now that things have come to a point, he misses his mother so much that he has no choice.
Feng has given him enough face. If he doesn't let go, he will really be separated from his mother, wife and children.
After a long pause, Jiang Wan shook his head, smiled bitterly, and sighed. .
