Chapter 552 The last part of life, but also to achieve prestige

In the low mountains in Qizhou, Li Shenfu, surrounded by more than a dozen people, stood on a relatively high hill, looking down at the fireworks below. The howling sound of wolves crying and ghosts made by the soldiers burned by the flames came into his ears clearly. Seeing that the fire was still swallowing the surrounding mountains and forests, the fireworks had already covered the entire canyon, and there was still a posture of continuing to spread... Li Shenfu stared at him for a moment and suddenly ordered:

"Soldiers are very fast. It is a foregone conclusion that the Huaixi Fang army has been defeated. After taking advantage of the situation to immediately capture Qichun, Qizhou District, and his colleagues rushed north. Taking advantage of the unprepared Tian Hu, they then led their troops to attack Hefei, Luzhou District, and!"

The scheming Li Shenfu naturally knew that with his record of defeating the 100,000 Boat Division in Jingnan and the advantages of Wu in the navy, Li Tianqu was very afraid of engaging in a large-scale water battle with him. Therefore, Li Shenfu also had to use this prerequisite to achieve the miraculous effect of making arguing east and attacking west.

Since the naval army of several vassal states in Wei avoided a decisive battle with their own navy on the river surface, the military situation they could find out about their large-scale ship transfer movements must be limited. The previous continuous harassment of prefectures in the north of the Wei State was precisely to prevent Li Tianqu and all the generals under him from judging the direction of the Wu army's main attack.

However, Liu Cun led tens of thousands of naval and army troops into the territory of Wuchang, the capital of the Eyue Army, and the attention of several vassal states in the Wei State was immediately attracted. Li Shenfu quietly entered the territory under the control of the Huaixi Army controlled by Tianpin through large and small tributaries of Qishui, which was spread throughout Qizhou...

Now that the ambush and fire attack have weakened a certain amount of the Huaixi Army. Tian Feng's traitor... Since we thought our army was going to attack E Yue's army, we would take Qizhou first and then attack the neighboring Luzhou, and we could catch Tian Feng off guard.

Our Wu Kingdom gathered troops to conquer Luzhou as soon as possible, attacked Tian Pei, a traitor who deviated from the main attack, and first pacify the vassal state under the rule of Wei... Although Li Tianqu would definitely attack after hearing the news, Wei and Wu Kingdom compete for hegemony, and ultimately, they cannot rely solely on the benefits of our navy and boat troops to fight against the strong enemy on the road. It is inevitable...

Although this time, Li Shenfu used fire tactics to completely annihilate some of the troops of the Huaixi Army and won a great victory was a foregone conclusion, but Li Shenfu was not happy at all and frowned slightly when he rushed down the hillside. From his expression, he was still thinking.

The canyon where the enemy troops in the royal hall were set up to set fire and killed, was originally a certain distance from where Li Shenfu was. However, as the fire in the mountains and forests surged, a few wisps of black smoke drifted in the wind. Li Shenfu only took a breath, and his brows tightly clamped into a lump of the boss. He immediately coughed violently, his face quickly turned red, and his body was trembling constantly...

As the cough became more and more intense, Li Shenfu's facial features became a little distorted due to the pain, and tears even appeared in his eyes under the squeeze of facial muscles. Looking at him like this, it seemed that he was coughing so hard that he was about to vomit his lungs!

The soldiers present were shocked to see this and rushed forward. One of them was at the military academy that obeyed Li Shenfu. He had seen Li Shenfu's pain and patient appearance several times before... He immediately said anxiously:

"The Commander of the Duke, you are not in good health these days, so you have to take more rest. Now, although the military situation is urgent, the Commander of the Duke is the backbone of our army. You can't have any more good or bad things... It's better to send someone to report to the king immediately, and then replace other generals to attack Qi and Luzhou quickly. When you will take good care of your health, you will be in charge of military affairs..."

When Li Shenfu heard this, he waved his hand powerlessly. He said weakly until his chest was still undulating violently, and he was coughing a little slow and could barely speak:

"I'm fine... I can still hold on... To seize Luzhou quickly and attack Tian Bao as soon as possible, I must work together with the robes... Cough cough, first destroy a vassal state of Wei, regain the lost land in northern Wu and Anhui, and then make a good arrangement, waiting for Li Tianqu to come... Not only is it not a success or failure, but this strike is also a urgency of military information, and time is not waiting... How can I rest at ease?"

However, Li Shenfu was just talking, spread his palm slightly and looked down, and saw scarlet blood in his palm. He quickly clenched his palm tightly, barely supported himself, and walked step by step towards the bottom...

Li Shenfu suddenly felt that he had fever and sweating, and had been getting thinner for a while. Not long after, his limbs were weak and his internal organs were often painful, which made him unbearable... Even if he invited the doctor to treat him in time, the reply he received was:

"The commander-in-chief is afraid of a symptom. This disease is difficult to detect at first. Looking at the signs of the disease now... the internal organs are probably hidden deep in poisonous roots and perforated into the holes. At this point, the medicine can eliminate the disease. The medicine can relieve the pictures and adjust the pain for a while... I'm afraid it will recur sooner or later... I hope the commander-in-chief is like a grass-roots person and you... I'm afraid you should prepare for your funeral as soon as possible..."

After all, at this time, the medical level of the times is limited and the average life expectancy of a person is far lower than that of later generations... Therefore, some severe diseases cannot be cured, and have not even been discovered. Once a person reaches a certain age, he will only learn that he has an incurable disease.

Li Shenfu left his hometown Mingzhou in his early years, and actually worked hard everywhere until he moved to the Jianghuai area. He was no longer young when he fought with Yang Xingmi in the east and west. He was only three years younger than the monarch he was loyal to, and now he is nearly fifty years old...

Since I can't escape death, I should do a career that is enough to be famous in history before the deadline is approaching... Since I am destined to fight in this life and become a military general who has achieved success and fame through military achievements, Li Shenfu is not afraid of death, but now he still feels very unwilling to accept it. In front of the soldiers under his command, he still maintains his previous majestic and steady demeanor as much as possible, but he can't help but feel sad:

When we are alive, we must strive for fame and honor with our own abilities and win a wife and son... But we know that there is not much time, but we still have to look forward to the reputation left after death, so that future generations will know that the Tang Dynasty was overthrown and the heroes were united. I, Li Shenfu, once assisted the wise ruler to dominate the country, and also deserved the praise of the previous generation of famous generals... And since we are only loyal to the lord of the King of Wu in this life, if our Wu Kingdom can compete for the Central Plains and surpass the Wei, Jin, Liang, Shu and other countries in one fell swoop, we can only leave a more resounding reputation in history books.

So even if I live for a few days, instead of lying on the bed and waiting for death, I would rather do my best to achieve the hegemony of King Wu... Just as Zhuge Wuhou said at the end of the Han Dynasty, if I meet a wise ruler, I should devote myself to it until I die...

Li Shenfu thought to himself that although after the violent coughing, every breath caused a piercing pain in his internal organs. Even though he was sick, his eyes were firm and determined, and he was still urging himself to cheer up to complete the final journey of his life...

From the mountains in Qizhou, the Huaixi Army led by Wang Tan was burned and injured and killed less than half a day later, Li Shenfu led the elite Wu army under his command to suddenly kill Qichun County, the capital of Qizhou. The prefect and the garrison were caught off guard, and a large number of Wu troops had already crashed into the city and occupied the city pass.

The people in the city either fled all over the streets or closed their doors and windows, but the infantry soldiers of the Wu Kingdom quickly rushed into the market. The defenders of the Huaixi Army retreated step by step and were gradually killed and annihilated by the enemy, the soldiers of the Wu army, who were like wolves and tigers, rushed towards the direction of the prefecture's office...

Less than half an hour later, Qichun, the Qizhou capital under the command of the Huaixi Army of the Wei State, was first captured by Li Shenfu, a famous general of Southern Wu!
