Day 15 years, in April 18, original state city. 天吉十五年,四月十八,原州城。 Half city smoke sand, remnant of destroyed building. 半城烟沙,断壁残垣。 The thick smoke and broken tile flood in the city each street street, wails and sobs to curl up dismal of flames of war. 浓烟与碎瓦充斥在城中每一条巷弄街道,哀嚎与呜咽卷起战火的悲凉。 By 70,000 despondencies in a big way „abandons soldier” facing 500,000 to present elite, perseveres for four days. 以七万士气低落的“弃兵”面对五十万大奉精锐,坚守四天。 Shu State army and Liangzhou Armed forces' performance already enough tenacious. 蜀州军与凉州军的表现已经足够顽强。 But basically also stopped. 但基本也就到此为止了。 „Sir beam......” “梁大人......” Had been taken over for use makes „wartime headquarters” in the original state yamen the atmosphere to constrain, the middle-aged man who wears white armor looks at beam Zhen, sighed gently. 已被征用作“战时指挥部”的原州衙门里气氛压抑,一个身着白甲的中年男人看着梁振,轻轻叹了口气。 He is similarly by „abandonment” Liangzhou troop commander in original state city, polite. 他正是同样被“抛弃”在原州城内的凉州总兵,温文。 The eyebrow flies into the temple, straight eyebrows slanting upwards and outwards star, the waist wears the treasured sword, white armor is spotless. 眉飞入鬓,剑眉星目,腰佩宝剑,身上的白甲一尘不染。 Such a mild-mannered and cultivated name and image as if do not look like a military officer who commands troops the combat. 这样一个温文尔雅的名字和形象似乎并不太像一位领兵作战的将领。 But politely truly common social practice most valiant Liangzhou from Daning. 但温文确实来自大宁境内民风最为彪悍的凉州。 „Sir beam, in city also the soldiers of strength of war already less than 20,000, standing city wall in addition insufficient, let alone defends a city.” “梁大人,城内还有一战之力的兵卒已不到两万,站满城墙都尚且不够,更别说守城。” „At this moment Wu Ding is impossible to go back to help, breaking through is also hopeless, your my two people of actually what course to follow, were the time should make a decision.” “事到如今邬定已绝不可能回援,突围亦是无望,你我二人究竟何去何从,是时候该拿个主意了。” „......” “......” The shining sunlight gets down from out of the window oblique incidence, is the toward evening. 明晃晃的阳光自窗外斜射下来,已是黄昏时分。 In the institute has several own logistics depots in the setting sun afterglow, red does not know that is the blood or the multi-colored sunlight. 院中有几个亲兵站在落日的余辉里,身上的红色不知是血还是霞光。 Grips the hilt stubbornly, the ear is reverberating the polite words, beam Zhen is speechless for a very long time. 一手死死握住刀柄,耳边回荡着温文的话,梁振久久无语。 He does not know that greatly when presents the next attack to be, but actually knows that can be last time next time. 他并不知道大奉下一次进攻会是什么时候,但却知道下一次一定会是最后一次。 Right that said politely, in the city only remains now is less than 20,000 soldiers, even the city wall stands discontentedly, what discussed that defends a city...... 温文说的对,如今城中仅剩不到两万士兵,连城墙都站不满,又何谈守城呢...... „warm brother...... my age excels in you slightly, for the time being shouted you brothers.” “温兄......我年龄稍长于你,姑且喊你一声兄弟。” „Does not know how you do feel us to?” “不知,你觉得我们应当如何？” beam Zhen tone is somewhat crabbed, but wants calm many politely in comparison. 梁振的语气有些艰涩,而温文相比之下就要淡定的多。 He also catches the eye to look to out of the window, but actually do not appreciate this scenery of dusk, but puts out a hand to close the wooden window gently. 他同样抬眼望向窗外,不过却不是要欣赏这黄昏之景,而是伸手将木窗轻轻合上。 „Brother Liang, since you asked, the little brother I then had the words to speak frankly.” “梁大哥,既然你问,那小弟我便有话直说了。” „Now the original state city cannot certainly defend, we only then three roads may walk.” “如今原州城是一定守不住了,那我们不外乎只有三条路可走。” „First, dies to fight, with the remaining tens of thousands brothers' lives, wrestles your my two people of behind names.” “第一,死战到底,用剩下几万兄弟的命,来搏你我二人一个身后之名。” „Second, concentrates all third rank above brothers to protect your me to break through...... the little brother I to calculate, if since the city south breaks through, if can crash in Meishan, that or 30% probabilities can flee.” “第二,集中所有中三品以上的兄弟保护你我突围......小弟我算过,若是从城南突围,如果得以冲进眉山之中,那或有30%几率可以走脱。” „However this third road, that is......” “而这第三条路,那就是......” Looked at beam Zhen one eyes, polite tranquil puts out two characters. 看了梁振一眼,温文平静的吐出两个字。 „Surrenders to the enemy.” “投敌。” „......” “......” Seemed like stirred up the eye by the ray that on the politeness white armor reflected, beam Zhen pupil flash contracted suddenly. 似乎是被温文身上白甲所反射的光线激到了眼睛,梁振的瞳孔一瞬间猛然收缩。 But with the lapse of time, got hold of the hand of hilt actually to relax slowly. 而随着时间的推移,握紧刀柄的手却又慢慢放松了下来。 Said politely right, now is placed in front of them, only then these three roads. 温文说的没错,如今摆在他们面前的只有这三条路。 Chooses first, must die. 选第一条,必死。 Chooses second, could live. 选第二条,或许能活。 Chooses third, certainly can live. 选第三条,一定能活。 Most critically, not only oneself will not die, hand/subordinate about ten thousand brothers can also live similarly. 更关键的是,不仅自己不会死,手下近万弟兄也同样能活。 Thinks of here, deep being incapable with well ups angrily, making beam Zhen expression at this moment especially complex. 想到这里,一股深深的无力和愤怒涌上心头,使得梁振此刻的表情格外复杂。 Before over half a month, oneself have 30,000 people to have no fear of great distances to come from the Shu state to support the original state, even if knew perfectly well that the trip danger is still actually duty-bound not to turn back layer on layer/heavily. 大半个月前,自己带着三万人从蜀州不远万里前来支援原州,即便明知此行危险重重却依然义无反顾。 But who once thinks that now 30,000 people have only remained less than 10,000...... abandon died. 可谁曾想如今三万人已然仅剩不到一万......弃卒。 Goes to war always wants the deceased person, beam Zhen naturally understands this truth. 打仗总是要死人的,梁振自然明白这个道理。 However, must die is valuable. 但是,要死的有价值。 If stands the general situation angle, their these artificial armies are sealing district arrange/cloth release/place to win the time again, seems can be dies a worthy death. 如果站在大局的角度来看,他们这些人为大军在封县重新布放争取了时间,好似算得上死得其所。 However...... was abandoned, was abandoned. 不过......被抛弃,就是被抛弃。 This nothing more to be said. 这点没什么好说的。 „warm brother......” “温兄......” Deeply inspires, beam Zhen looks up politely: „It seems like, you have the decision.” 深吸一口气,梁振抬头看着温文:“看来,你已经有了决定了。” „Yes.” “是。” Polite does not cover up, nod sincere say/way: „Brother Liang, I then can lead the Liangzhou army to unload armor tonight to go out of town, but also looks at you to be possible with me together.” 温文也不遮掩,点点头正色道:“梁大哥,今夜我便会带着凉州军卸甲出城,还望你可与我一起。” „......” “......” Unloads armor to go out of town. 卸甲出城。 Hears this expected reply, beam Zhen and unconsciously accidental/surprised, but is staring stubbornly politely. 听到这个意料之中的回答,梁振并不觉意外,只是死死盯着温文。 „warm brother, this seeks the crime of revolting.” “温兄,这是谋叛之罪。” „I naturally understand that this is the stratagem revolts, I will be poked the backbone to scold by the Daning common people clearly in the future surely for a lifetime.” “我自然明白这是谋叛,更明白日后我定会被大宁百姓戳着脊梁骨骂一辈子。” The polite expression is still calm. 温文的表情依旧平静。 „Brother Liang, the little brother does not fear the person, the Liangzhou sons are not the generations of coveting life and fearing death.” “梁大哥,小弟并非畏死之人,凉州男儿更不是贪生怕死之辈。” „But since is Wu Ding and emperor abandons us in first, why do I want to work oneself to death for them?” “但既然是邬定和皇上抛弃我们在先,那我为何又要为他们卖命？” „I only understood that repays a kindness by virtue, actually did not understand that renders good for evil.” “我只懂得以德报德,却不懂得以德报怨。” Shakes the head, sighed the one breath politely again, resembled is mixing with infinite losing. 摇摇头,温文再叹一口气,其中似是夹杂着无穷的失落。 But beam Zhen this time idea somewhat is different. 而梁振此时的想法却有些不同。 „Brother warm, this word is bad.” “温老弟,此言差矣。” „Royal government this time truly lost us, but must know that in any event your I am the Daning People.” “朝廷这次确实负了我们,但要知道不论如何你我都是大宁子民。” „Place to live that without Daning, your I where comes, where can sit the position on troop commander?” “若没有大宁,你我哪里来的安身之地,哪里又能坐的上总兵之位？” „Why you only saw at present ‚can't resentment’, actually see the previous Germany?” “为何你只看到了眼前的‘怨’,却看不到此前的‘德’？” Clearly, beam Zhen does not want to choose the third road, thought that the polite view is only a consoling oneself excuse. 很明显,梁振并不想选第三条路,亦觉得温文的说法只是一种自我安慰的借口。 However the latter following several words make him not know how instantaneously should reply. 不过后者接下来的几句话却让他瞬间不知该如何回答。 „Brother Liang, you said right.” “梁大哥,你说的没错。” „Royal government is also good, the Daning common people, previously really had the graciousness in me.” “朝廷也好,大宁百姓也罢,此前确有恩于我。” „Therefore, I how even to be again fearful and angry, actually still defended four days original state cities.” “所以,我即便再如何心寒、愤怒,却仍守了四日的原州城。” „These on the 4 th, then for also these benevolence.” “这四日,便是为了还这些恩情。” „Now, the graciousness, I two have not owed with Daning henceforth, was the time takes own road.” “如今,恩还完了,我与大宁从此两不相欠,便是时候走自己的路了。” „......” “......” The graciousness has reported ends, since then takes various groups respectively. 恩已报完,从此各走各路。 Finally understands beam Zhen who in the polite heart thinks not to speak for a very long time, has gotten to the entrance unable to say anything until the former. 终于明白温文心中所想的梁振久久不语,直到前者已经走到门口了也没能说出什么。 „Brother Liang, don't you block me?” “梁大哥,你不拦我么？” Has turned head, smiles to ask politely: „I, if goes out of this gate, you then did not have the opportunity again.” 回过头,温文笑问道:“我若走出此门,你便再无机会了。” „Walks.” “走吧。” Smiles bitterly, beam Zhen weak beckoning with the hand. 苦笑一声,梁振无力的摆了摆手。 „Blocks you also to have what significance.” “拦你又有什么意义。” „Good.” “好。” Deeply looked at beam Zhen one eyes politely, finally leaves behind a few words. 温文深深看了梁振一眼,最后又留下一句话。 „Brother Liang, if you also want to understand, then leads the person to be off to the west gate in 11 p.m. to 1 a.m...... before then, presents greatly will not attack a city again.” “梁大哥,若你也想明白了,便带人在子时到西城门去罢......在此之前,大奉不会再攻城的。” „......” “吱呀......” The door shoves open and closes, several that as outside the room resounds „General warm”, in the room then only remains beam Zhen. 房门推开又合上,随着屋外响起的几声“温将军”,屋中便只剩梁振一人。 Before 11 p.m. to 1 a.m, presents greatly will not attack a city. 子时之前,大奉不会攻城。 These words mean that perhaps polite to has presented to express „surrender” greatly the meaning. 这句话意味着温文恐怕早已向大奉表达过“投诚”之意。 Also means that if vary the unloading armor surrender, then after 11 p.m. to 1 a.m, will present greatly will then launch the last time attack. 也意味着如果自己不一起卸甲投降,那么子时之后,大奉便将发动最后一次进攻。 „Crash-bang!” “哗啦！” Sincere general armor was lost to the table on conveniently, crushed on the sand table the tattered and torn original state city. 厚重的将军甲被随手丢到桌上,压碎了沙盘上已千疮百孔的原州城。 Before beam Zhenzhi puts on that Wei Changtian just before leaving, lends his lining armor, slowly did not know many in the room back and forth. 梁振只穿着那件魏长天临行之前借给他的衬甲,慢慢在屋中走了不知多少个来回。 Oneself, actually should how elect...... 自己,究竟该怎么选......
