The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms
Vol 4 Chapter 22: Clerical Employment (Part 1)
It was Zhong Yao who was holding Xun Zhen.
Zhong Yao said: "The soldier Cao Rong fought fiercely in the city today, and he did not rest for a day. In the evening, when you served me some meat soup, I saw that your hands were shaking slightly, and you were obviously exhausted. Tonight's night attack, anyone can go, Wei Qing can't go!"
Xi Zhicai and Xun You also said: "Zhenzhi, you are now in the position of the soldier Cao Rong, and the mansion is not there, you are the commander, and you are responsible for the safety of the whole city. Yesterday, when the bandits first arrived, in order to boost morale, you led the crowd to defeat them. That's all, don't take risks lightly tonight."
Xun Zhen thought: "Do you think I want to go?"
Soldiers, murder is also. Between the battle formations, the place where the corpses are erected. Brave and invincible like the overlord of Western Chu who died in the midst of ten thousand armies, let alone Xun Zhen, who only had "the bravery of ordinary people"? If one fails, he will leave the city with fate and return without fate. He is not a fool, how could he not be afraid of death? Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, it is not something that anyone can do! The question is: if he doesn't go, who else can go?
Is it Zhong Yao? Xi Zhicai, Xun You? Or Du You, Xin Ping, or Xin Pi?
They are not as good as Xun Zhen! At most, they can only do some fencing. Isn't letting them go to the battlefield the same as letting them die?
If they can't go, let the generals in the county soldiers go?
Xun Zhen was not very familiar with these generals and did not know their abilities. I don't know what they can do, how dare they send them out of the city? In the event of a major defeat, or even the destruction of the entire army, the morale of the guards will fall to the bottom. This city does not need to be defended anymore.
He said: "Guarding the city for a day, I was a little tired, and after taking such a long rest, I recovered. I understand what you mean, but it is because the mansion is not here, I am the general, and the night attack is the right thing to do. I will lead the attack. If I don't take the lead, who will take the lead?"
What he meant: Tonight's night attack is very dangerous. As a general, he should take the lead.
Zhong Yao and others were reluctant.
Zhong Yao grabbed his armour and didn't let go, and said, "I am a military officer of the county. Although I am not as brave as Qing, I have practiced fencing, and I am not a scholar. I will attack tonight.
"How does this work!"
"You can live without me in the city, but you can't be without a minister!"
Xun Zhen really didn't expect that Zhong Yao would think so highly of him that he even said something like "I can live without you in the city". He looked around at everyone and saw that everyone seemed to take it for granted, and seemed to agree with Zhong Yao's words.
Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, and others, all of them are outstanding talents, yet they actually agree with Zhong Yao's words?
Xun Zhen was both surprised and delighted, and then she suddenly realized that in the eyes of everyone, his status was so high?
The so-called "don't know the true face of Mount Lu, only because of being in this mountain".
Xun Zhen underestimated himself and "underestimated himself", so he didn't blame him. After all, Zhong Yao, Xun You and others were all great talents passed down to future generations. In his subconscious, he felt that he was inferior to them.
In fact, he was no match for them either. But in the eyes of Zhong Yao, Xun You and others, maybe he doesn't have any extraordinary resourcefulness or superhuman knowledge, but he is very "courageous" and very "steady". For these two points, Zhong Yao and others are not content.
Everyone has his strong and weak points. When the mysterious veil of history is removed, Zhong Yao, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and others are also living people, full of flesh and blood, joy and anger, and they also admire a person, and they also have their own shortcomings. There are no perfect people in this world, no matter how outstanding and outstanding talents are, they also have their own shortcomings.
Xun Zhen, although only "the talent of the middle man" and "the courage of ordinary people", although he is far inferior to Zhong Yao, Xun You, Xi Zhicai and others in terms of resourcefulness and knowledge, he also has his own strengths. His strength is that he knows where history is going.
Just like what happened in front of me, like the Yellow Turban uprising.
Zhong Yao, Xun You and others didn't know the direction of history or what the future would be like, so when facing tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, they would inevitably feel uncertain and uneasy.
For Xun Zhen, the future was clear. He knew that although the Yellow Turban Uprising was huge, it could not persist for a year. I know that in a few months at most, the tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans under the city will be annihilated in the Changsha.
The only difference is that in the eyes of Zhong Yao and others, he appears to be very "calm and calm" and very different.
It's like a sentence: "If you have food in your hand, don't panic in your heart". Putting it here, "grain" is "the trend of history". Xun Zhen knew it, so although he was under pressure, he was not flustered; Zhong Yao and others didn't know, so under heavy pressure, he felt uneasy.
Of course, Xun Zhen is not useless except "knowing the trend of history", at least, his "guoyong" is his own advantage. Although everything he has done since he crossed over was to "preserve his life in troubled times", when it was time to work hard, he could rush up. Anyway, advancing and retreating is death. Instead of retreating and dying, why not go ahead and seek a chance?
...
Xun Zhen calmed down and said with a smile: "Gong Cao Rong is serving as an official in Jianhe. It is my responsibility to lead the crowd to attack and attack at night, and it is not a minister's post. I said it." He said to everyone, "I have the experience of breaking thieves yesterday, and I will attack tonight, and I am familiar with the road. You don't have to worry about me, just watch the battle at the top of the city and see how I kill thieves!"
Although he was valued by Zhong Yao and others, he could not let Zhong Yao shoulder the heavy responsibility of night attack.
Zhong Yao may be able to click the sword as he said, but it is not enough to click the sword to defeat the enemy.
A noisy drum sounded from the bottom of the city, and the drum sound was mixed with the scorn and abuse of hundreds of people.
It was midnight, and the city was originally quiet, but the sound of drums and noise instantly pierced the silence.
The sleepy guard was startled, jumped up hastily~www.wuxiaspot.com~ grabbed the weapon and looked outside the city.
Xun Zhen and the others also stopped talking and looked down at the city. It was the hundreds of yellow scarf soldiers on horseback and drums who had arrived outside the moat.
In the dark, they galloped back and forth along the moat, beating drums and yelling.
Xun Zhen didn't look at the yellow turban soldiers much, but stopped for a while on the moat.
He remembered that there was blood in the river, but it was covered by the thick night. At this time, the river was like a belt, reflecting the stars and moon, winding around the city, sparkling. Even though he was about to leave the city to attack at night, he was about to fight with the Yellow Turban soldiers again, but the quiet and cool river water still moved his heart.
A few years have passed, and the cold plum has grown taller, and now he has transplanted it in his home in Yingyin. Before he came to Yangzhai, a few plum petals had just bloomed on the tree. The plum blossoms under the snow, and the frost is proud. There seems to be a wisp of fragrance, swaying from Yingyin dozens of miles away with the night wind, lingering around the nose.
Two days and one night of fighting, at this moment, he was rarely quiet.
"Zhenzhi?"
"what?"
Xun You noticed his abnormality and touched him lightly. He woke up from his trance, his stray eyes refocused. Outside the city, outside the moat, on the official road, on the field, and among the hills, as far as the eye can see, there are yellow scarves soldiers sleeping in the open air.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'm thinking: I don't know what's going on at home now? Parents, Brother Zhong, Wen Ruo, Zhong Ren, they don't know if they're all right? I don't know if Ying Yin has been attacked by 'thieves'?"
"Anyway, I'm going to go out of the city to attack at night, or choose a few warriors to see if there is a chance to break out of the bandit and go back to Yingyin to see?"
"Alright!"
Xun Zhen looked away from a distance. This time, his eyes didn't stop on the moat anymore, he bowed his hands to Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Zhong Yao and the others, turned around with the knife, and strode down the city.
