Rebirth of a Star General

The room was silent for a moment, and Li Kuang rang in an angry voice: "Who let you in?"

He Yan raised his head, glared at him, and suppressed his trembling voice, "You killed her."

"This is my family business, what's it to do with you?" Li Kuang didn't seem to want to see her, "Get out!"

The surrounding soldiers also looked unbearable, or avoided He Yan's eyes, or bowed their heads and said nothing, and no one said a word.

"Why should I get out?" He Yan said coldly, "Even though Miss Qiluo is your family business, these women were rescued by me from the Utuo people. Shouldn't this be your family business, Mr. Li," she snapped. The ground raised his voice, "Are you going to kill them all too?"

Some of the women on the ground sobbed softly when they heard the words.

Zhao Shiming, who came to hear the news, finally rushed in with Wang Ba and the others. He was startled when he saw a corpse lying down in the house. Zhao Shiming shook his hands and asked, "This is... what's going on? What happened? What's the matter? Who is this person?"

He Yan took a step forward, and Li Kuang said angrily, "Don't touch her!" The next moment, the white cloth had already been uncovered.

The girl who fell to the ground, the blood from her heart stained her clothes red. She was lying on the ground, her expression calm, as moving as a delicate flower. A few hours ago, she was still smiling and showing He Yan the garland she had made, and telling others about her yearning for the future. Now, she can't cry or laugh anymore, it's just a cold corpse.

"Qiluo?" Zhao Shiming was shocked, "How could Qiluo? Did someone from Uto come in? Mr. Li? What's going on?"

If there are Uto people infiltrating, why is Li Kuang so calm, I am afraid that Rundu has already been in chaos. It's just... how do you explain the scene in front of you?

Li Kuang stared at He Yan, He Yan was unmoved, looked at him word by word and said, "I have to ask Master Li, I think Master Li is trying to imitate Zhang Xun of the previous dynasty. !"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shiming took a deep breath.

Among Wang Ba and Shitou's group, only Jiang Jiao had studied, and the others still didn't understand what He Yan meant, only Jiang Jiao's expression changed slightly.

"In the past, Zhang Xun guarded Suiyang City, and the food in the city was exhausted, so he killed his concubine to kill the sergeant. What is Mr. Li doing? You want to be Zhang Xun of the Great Wei, but now Rundu City has other ways to survive, so why is this! "

"What do you know!" Li Kuang couldn't help but scolded: "It's just a woman! If I can save the people of a city, my life would not be a pity, but I am just a woman. It is not a pity to die for Runducheng!"

He Yan looked at him, Li Kuang once fought side by side with her, and lived and died together. Although she and Li Kuang are not close friends, they are old friends. He Yan has never doubted Li Kuang's character. As a military general, he is upright, brave, and loyal, but he is such a hero in the eyes of the world. In his eyes, "women" are just like cats and dogs, animals, and possessions. common victims. The most beloved concubine can be beheaded in an instant on the grounds of "righteousness" and become food to fill the stomach.

This is something more terrifying than Yizi and eating.

She had already thought that there might be such a scene, but after all, it was a matter of the previous dynasty, and now it has not reached such a desperate situation, and Li Kuang is not Zhang Xun. He Yan still had the heart of luck, and only said that he might think too terrifying of human nature, but... nothing could stop him.

Li Kuang still made the same choice.

When I was in the Xianchang Pavilion, I read the "Loyalty Biography" and read here, Zhang Xun fell to Suiyang, and the enemy could not break the city, so he was stationed outside the city and the soldiers and horses in the city starved to death. There was no food in the city, so Zhang Xun killed his concubine and forced the officers and soldiers to eat it, and then some people killed the servants to make the army food.

"After the women in the city are exhausted, men and women, young and old, will follow, and the population will be 20,000 to 30,000."

The boys in the hall were silent and the atmosphere was quiet. The gentleman was still reading, "There were 40,000 people in Suiyang City before the war, but only 400 people survived."

They are all teenagers, and they all come from wealthy and high-ranking families, and they have never heard of such a tragic incident. Cannibalism is already sensational enough, and if war is added, it is even more embarrassing.

The master asked, "Do you think what Zhang Xun did was wrong or right?"

The teenagers spoke enthusiastically and made their own statements. In the end, they still believed that what Zhang Xun did was nothing wrong with the situation at that time.

The master said: "Murdering is against human ethics. But it is not Zhang Xun's original intention. There is a saying that 'Canghuang's crime is light, but revival is heavy'. Cannibalism is too small, and defense of the city is great."

The boys nodded yes. They all thought that although it was tragic, it was this incident that reflected Zhang Xun's loyalty. After all, concubines are "family affairs", and defending the city is "state affairs". To defend the country at the expense of his concubines, Zhang Xun is a loyal minister.

At that time, He Yan didn't think so. She sat in the hall without speaking or echoing the remarks of the teenagers. She only frowned and looked solemn.

Seeing her disapproval, the husband called her up with a smile, and asked, "He Rufei, do you have a different opinion?"

She was in the Xianchang Hall at that time, and she was still an idiot who counted down the exams. She was a little uneasy when her name was called. However, his heart was full of resentment, and he finally summoned the courage to say, "Everyone in the world says that Zhang Xun is a loyal minister and a righteous man. It is true, but why are those who were eaten innocent? I can understand his choice, but if he changed it. I...I never do."

"Oh? How are you?" Mr. asked with a smile.

"I'll take the remaining soldiers and fight the rebels to the death outside the city." The boy stood in the hall, the sunlight penetrated the window and fell on her face, turning her delicate and slightly childish face into a resolute look. Color, "The person holding the sword in his hand should understand where the sword is pointing, whether it is facing the enemy in front of him or the weak behind him."

"I will never draw a sword against the weak."

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and the voices of the teenagers roared.

"The weak? What weak? He is the weak himself!"

"And Brother He's swordsmanship is so bad that he can actually hold a sword? I'm afraid it's not a dream."

"It's so powerful. How could it be possible? If Dao Ma is so poor, he can be sent to defend the city. I don't think this city needs to be defended. Hahahaha."

He Yan was surrounded by laughter, her face flushed red, she pursed her lips and thought, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, maybe one day, she will be a general galloping on the battlefield, and then she will definitely protect what she wants to protect. people. She will never let unarmed civilians be reduced to military rations. She will be the bravest general if she wants to.

The husband calmed down the teenagers who laughed at her, looked at He Yan with relief in his eyes, "You can think from the position of those people, it shows that you have pity for the weak, that's good."

He Yan sighed in her heart, it was not that she had pity. Just because the boys who were laughing in the hall were all men, they naturally regarded themselves as "Zhang Xun". And she is a woman, so she naturally stands in the position of "loving concubine".

From the standpoint of "Zhang Xun", this move is very righteous, and from the standpoint of "loving concubine", this is nothing but a disaster.

The joys and sorrows of people in the world cannot be connected all the time. It's nothing more than where you are and what choices you make.

Just like that.

He Yan said, "Your Majesty is a loyal minister, what's your sin?"

"You don't need to tell me so much," Li Kuang said coldly: "Qiluo is my concubine, and it is my person. How I deal with my people is my business. As for these women...you ask them , is it voluntary? I didn't force them."

He Yan looked at the woman sitting on the ground, a woman with red eyes, kowtowed to He Yan, and said softly, "Thank you, sir, for planning for us, but... we have already been ruined by the Utuo people, and our body is also shattered. It has long been unclean, I can't go home, and I have no face to live in the world. It is also our blessing to be able to use this body to win a ray of life for Rundu. Perhaps this merit can also allow us to wash away the mud on our bodies. , good luck in the future."

"Damn merit!" Before she could speak, He Yan interrupted her.

Wang Ba and the others looked at He Yan in surprise. He Yan had always been with them, and his temperament had always been first-class and gentle. Even though Wang Ba was so provocative back then, she never uttered any swear words. Now that the foul language has come out, it can be seen that he is angry.

"What does it mean to be unclean, and what does it mean to live without face in the world?" He Yan said angrily, "Is this your fault?" She looked at Li Kuang and the soldiers bowing their heads in the room, "This is theirs. Wrong!"

"If you think that this is doing meritorious deeds, you are very wrong! Mr. Li," she turned to look at Li Kuang, "you are the commander of the city, and I tell you, these women were captured by the Uto people. Because the Uto people are cruel and unscrupulous, it is because you have no ability, what is wrong with them, I have never seen the injured people make mistakes, and the perpetrators are easy! From their point of view, the people of Great Wei are all taken advantage of, they just do evil, and naturally there are innocent people who will take undue guilt for them!"

"How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world, if the Uto people touch it and it is not clean, then from their first step into the land of the Great Wei, there is no need to contend with them. The land of the Great Wei is also not clean. Come on, give it to them, and get a fart!"

"You! Be careful!" Li Kuangyin held back his anger.

"I don't!" He Yan stared at him stubbornly, with a fire in his eyes, about to burn the surroundings to pieces, "You are a man and their general. You aimed the knife at your woman and your people. What is this? If you go out with me today to kill a few Uto people and eat Uto people to drink blood and eat flesh, I will respect you as a man. But there is no such thing in the world. If a man cannot win a war, he will call Innocent and weak women to sacrifice! This is called a soft egg!"

"As I said, they are voluntary."

"Are they really voluntary?" He Yan's eyes were sharp, "Okay, I'll ask you," she looked at the women, "Why do you think you can't live because of what others said? If others What did you say? You refuted it in front of you, and if you were stupid, you used your fist. Is this your fault? If you still use this to humiliate you, you will be the worst and most shameless person, and you don't need to show any mercy. Face. I saved your life, you just gave up like this, where did you put me?"

She looked stunning, and those women didn't dare to speak for a while. After a while, one of the young girls burst into tears and choked, "I don't want to die, I'm afraid..."

Li Kuang's face was ashen.

"If you don't want to die, I'm here, no one can force you to die."

"How dare you say that?" Li Kuang said, "This is not Liangzhou Guard!"

He Yan's expression calmed down, she took a step forward and shielded the women behind her, "Master Li, Qiluo is your concubine, I have been with you for many years, it is not a piece of goods, an item that can be given away at will. She is your true, and before that, she is first and foremost a person."

"You can't move these women today, if you want to move," He Yan slowly pulled out the long sword he had just snatched from the soldiers at the door, "you have to pass my sword first."

"Do you think I dare not?" Li Kuang was furious and pulled out the long sword from his waist. Seeing this, the surrounding deputy soldiers were all top-notch, and aimed the tip of their swords at He Yan.

There was a tense atmosphere in the room.

Zhao Shiming said anxiously: "What's the matter with you? How did your own people match up with your own people? Our top priority is to fight those Uto people, Mr. Li, I think Mr. Xiaohe is right, you can't... You can't eat people! Seeing you like this, the people outside have followed suit, what has Runducheng become like? Even if the city is defended, do you want the world to point at our backbone and scold us?"

He also has his own selfishness. Qiluo is Li Kuang's most beloved concubine. Zhao Shiming also has to admit that Qiluo is beautiful, smart, and very lovable. But Li Kuang said that if you kill, you will kill, these warriors... hey! At the end of the day, all of them who are officials must set an example. He was so old that he had never killed a chicken in his life. If he wanted to send his family to death, Zhao Shiming would rather die himself. Therefore, he immediately stood by He Yan's side.

Li Kuang ignored Zhao Shiming, a county magistrate who couldn't even take a knife, and he didn't take it seriously. What annoyed him was He Yan.

No one expected that He Yan would break in so rashly, and could not help but accuse him. Qiluo has been with him for many years, doesn't he feel heartache? Didn't he hesitate when he started? It's just that the war has come here, if Rundu can't keep it, everyone will die. Killing Qiluo in front of these lieutenants also made them understand their determination to defend Rundu.

Among these lieutenants, they met Qiluoduo on weekdays, and the living girls were killed in front of their own face, which was unbearable. There are also people who intercede for Qiluo, but Li Kuang thinks that Zhang Xun did it back then, and he can do it now. It doesn't matter if you bear the infamy of the world, the merits and demerits will be judged by future generations.

But this Wu'an Lang Heyan, he just broke in like this, standing in front of him, protecting those women, his bright eyes made him feel a little ashamed for a moment.

He suddenly thought of He Rufei.

That General Feihong, who was still a lieutenant, would try his best to save the woman captured by the enemy in every battle. In fact, when these women returned home, it wasn't a good outcome for them, but He Rufei always patiently comforted and encouraged them. Li Kuang had never seen a man so considerate. But he thought, there is only one General Feihong in the world so innocent.

But today, another one appeared in front of him.

Li Kuang's face was cold: "Wu Anlang, are you going to fight with me?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't let them die here."

A woman cried and opened her mouth, looking at He Yan: "Sir, don't waste your efforts for us. If our lives can be exchanged for the safety of Rundu, we are willing to..."

"The peace of Rundu cannot be exchanged for you." He Yan said coldly, "The peace that comes from sacrificing a woman is no different from praying for the enemy's mercy."

"Master Li, this is not the previous dynasty, and you are not Zhang Xun."

Li Kuang was almost furious. He knew that everything the young man said in front of him was right, but he had no other way to go.

"Just you, want to fight with me?" he said coldly.

"What kind of shit," Wang Ba spat in a "bah", "Is there any reason to kill a woman? We mountain bandits don't kill women, old people and children. As the saying goes, there is a way of thieves, you soldiers who eat imperial food. Ma, even doing things that are inferior to such beasts? Don't grind, we, Liangzhou Wei No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 67, accept your challenge!"

What he said was like fighting in the arena in the martial arts field, and the angry face of Li Kuang was even more ugly.

At this time, someone else walked in, but it was Chu Zhao. He looked at Li Kuang, bowed first, and then smiled, "Sir Li's actions are inappropriate. Your Majesty always promotes 'benevolent governance'. It goes against human relations, and if it reaches His Majesty's ears, I'm afraid His Majesty will not like it."

He was going to stand on He Yan's side. Chu Zhao represented Xu Xiang, a Liangzhou guard, and Xu Xiang. The pressure could be imagined. Li Kuang was angry and annoyed. What was the origin of this He Yan? Walk?

But the soldiers around looked at him, he was heartbroken, gritted his teeth and said, "You are not my opponent."

He Yan smiled slightly and slashed his sword in front of him, "Master Li might as well try it."

The sword's edge was stern, and the chill was suddenly felt. The gunpowder in the room was about to explode. At this moment, suddenly, there was another soldier's voice from outside: "Sir! Lord!"

Li Kuangzheng was full of anger, he couldn't go up, and he couldn't go down. Hearing this, he said angrily, "What are you shouting!"

The next moment, the door of the house was opened again, and someone walked in with a calm voice.

"Lord Li seems to have asked me before teaching the people of Liangzhou Wei."

This voice... He Yan was startled and turned back suddenly.

Then he saw the young man in dark armor and narrow sleeves walking forward and standing in front of him. However, we haven't seen each other for more than a month, and the last time we met, it seemed like 10,000 years had passed. On the other hand, he is handsome and handsome, with a figure like a spring willow Yuxiu, and his expression is as cold as ever.

"Xiao, Governor Xiao!" Li Kuang couldn't hide his shock.

He never thought that he would see Xiao Jue, the Governor of the Right Army, here.

Xiao Jue didn't look at He Yan or Li Kuang, his eyes only flicked over the weeping women, and said in a low voice, "The person holding the sword in his hand should understand where the sword edge is pointing. The enemy in front of you is still the weak behind."

"You shouldn't draw your sword against the weak."

He Yan suddenly raised his eyes.

There is a person named Zhang Xun in history. Originally, this was an overhead article, but after thinking about it, Zhang Xun’s real name was used. Interested friends can check it out, the previous allusion of "the grass man borrowing arrows" is actually from Zhang Xun. This guy is amazing. The views of the characters in the text do not represent the views of the author, nothing can be viewed in isolation from the historical background, and the conclusions drawn from different viewpoints are also different.
