`````````````````````````````````````````
`````````````````````````````````````````
“陰謀?”
“不錯,”
“吳三桂要在湖南稱帝!即日便會舉行登基大典!”
`````````````````````````````````````````
風吹來了雲,雲東拉西扯,拉扯成千軍萬馬之勢,不一會,便是雷霆萬鈞。
`````````````````````````````````````````
與將軍一起躲進大寨中,幾個有頭面的小嘍囉早已等候在那裡。
老乞丐似乎又在城裡得到了什麼新的消息。
`````````````````````````````````````````
“衆位兄弟隨我在深山老林裡,忍辱負重十六年,十六年臥薪嚐膽,就是爲了等到今天。吳三桂反清多日,攻陷城池不計其數,其實力已經逼過朝廷。當年若不是他打開城門,引清軍入關,我等又怎會淪落至此?那大漢天下又豈會落到夷人手中?”
“今天,衆將士皆在,我等誓當斷髮飲血爲義,除掉吳三桂,收編其軍隊爲我所用,直搗黃龍。恢復漢人天下。斯時爾等亦可爲將爲相,留名青史!”
“爲將軍殺敵,留名青史!”
“爲將軍殺敵,留名青史!”
“、、、、、、”
“、、、、、、”
將軍每當這時,更顯意氣風發,蒼勁的聲音略帶嘶啞。齊聲的吶喊淹沒了窗外的滾雷。
下面的軍士嘍囉似乎更是滿腔熱血,狂熱而執着!
乞丐擺了擺手,整齊的吶喊聲稀稀落落的安靜下來,差異而虔誠的望着乞丐。
“昨日,有五百軍士護送,吳三桂已經抵入長安城內,現今城中戒備極其森嚴,長沙城,只許進,不許出。估計登基大典不出三日。”
乞丐面無表情的說着,下面的嘍囉開始騷動起來。
```````````````````````````````````````````
“兵貴神速,出其不意。我決定今日選派五百壯士,在登基前夜殺將進去,除掉吳三桂,援軍隨後包圍長沙城,等到次日我來登基,接手吳三桂軍隊,再次北伐,反清復明!”
將軍濁黃的眸子一下子猩紅起來,彷彿眼前已是廝殺的戰場,而他正手舞着大刀,左劈右斬的瘋狂前進、、、、、、
“不可太過急躁!將軍!”
乞丐的酒葫蘆不知什麼時候不見了,但他此刻卻毫不在意,他一邊示意下面的雜亂叫喊安靜下來,一面勸阻着將軍。
“有何不可?這可是千載難逢的好機會!”
“將軍要等他登基過後,放鬆戒備,再下手不遲!”
“此言差矣!我早已結識吳三桂手下得力部將楊坤,只要在登基前除掉吳三桂,便可順利取而代之,到時候一呼百應,即日稱帝,再攻京師!”
望着將軍躊躇滿志的側面,突然發覺他老的這麼快,快的他自己都想急於稱帝,快的他積蓄多年的智慧卻在這一刻顯得這麼的急躁,急躁的都失去了理智。
他,早已不是當年三日下三城的李自成了!
`````````````````````````````````````````````
城中,確實在緊鑼密鼓的籌劃着登基之事,爲安全起見,又是夜裡,又是夜行衣。
隨着乞丐、將軍,再次到這城中探個究竟!
`````````````````````````````````````````````
暴風雨來臨前,總是一段扣人心絃的安靜,彷彿一池如鏡磨的水,一動不動,卻無處不暗藏着殺機、、、、、、是殺機重重、、、!!!
在野外的另一個山頭,我們約見了那位即將叛變吳三桂的副將楊坤。
此人濃眉大眼,卻張這一副貪得無厭的嘴臉。
從他口中得知,確在三日內,吳三桂便要在這長沙城內黃袍加身!!!
``````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````
回山寨的途中,我漸漸理清了近幾日發生的一切!
原來所謂的瘟疫,正是吳三桂爲稱帝開闢了相對安全的場地,靠這種不失民心的驅趕方法,實在夠聰明!!!
山寨裡,燈火通明,卻在這大深山外,見不得一絲異常,所有的人聲鼎沸,在傳播了幾公里的茂密叢林之後,都變得悄無聲息、、、、、、
```````````````````````````````````````````````
每個人都在磨拳霍霍,將軍進寨的步伐顯得異常興奮。
今晚,他要在數千軍士中挑選出五百名敢死之士,準備明晚的夜襲。
```````````````````````````````````````````````
黑色的風,黑色的夜,閃着眼睛的星星、、、、、、
昏暗的月光在雲間與樹間跳竄着,像是偷聽軍機的竊者、、、、、、
```````````````````````````````````````````````
三千軍士,整齊列陣,只有風偶爾的穿梭其間,順路帶來未知野獸的嘶嚎。整個場面,壯觀而又可怕,我突然想起以前每次出征,也是整軍列隊,那種激情豪邁,“騰”的一下升到半空,我又按捺不住,握緊了拳頭!!!只是轉眼間,我的心又是一潭死水。
“夠了,我要去找我的圓圓,我十幾年前就放下這些了、、、”
我自己告訴自己,快步踏入空蕩蕩的屋內。
```````````````````````````````````````````````
外面,將軍在十米多寬的桌子上擺滿了烈酒,他還在不知疲倦的審閱着。
這又一次關乎存亡的選擇。
他的眼鏡鋒利而樸實,每盯着你看一次,都像是尖刀結結實實的慢吞吞的刺進你的身體,你挺住了,便成功了、、、
```````````````````````````````````````````````
星星滅了又亮,月亮躲了又藏。夜過了一半,三千壯士中分落出五百死士。這五百個人體格威武,也不乏智慧,本領高強又忠於將軍!!
他們整整齊齊的面對着將軍,彷彿面對着死亡,他們的眼中透露出的正是對死亡的渴望。
那是有價值的死,正是將軍所言的“重於泰山!”
白花花的酒,一碗接着一碗,從罈子裡急匆匆的流下的還參差的有些透着月色,純白的酒裡,我看到了明日腥風血雨的長沙城!!!
緊接着,一個個泥瓷大碗譁然而落,每一聲清脆都像是呱呱墜地的嬰兒,那種柔弱、象徵生命的啼哭、、、、、、
```````````````````````````````````````````````
這注定是個狂亂的夜晚,篝火在夜風裡如亂舞的狂魔,每個人臉上都是血紅色,不知,那是火的映射,還是酒精起了作用、、、、、、
```````````````````````````````````````````````
五百軍士被安排進了早已備好的房間,裡面有早已準備好的妙齡女子,這是一批即將踏入櫃門關的鮮活的生命。
女人,是他們圓滿的終結、、、、、、
```````````````````````````````````````````````
將軍獨自飲着酒,滿眼望去,不知是遠的天下,還是近處的大夢!忽然想起多年前,在眉山遇到的一位道士,看着我的鬍鬚緩緩道出:枕邊夢,卦中言,榮華非無主,富貴已在天、、、、、、
當時一臉的茫然,卻在此刻,一切釋然、、、、、、
```````````````````````````````````````````````
終日離不開酒的乞丐,此時卻倚着大寨的旗杆,滴酒未沾。仰望着星空,不知在思索着什麼、、、、、、
有時候,覺得沉默能比吼叫更吸引別人的注意。
```````````````````````````````````````````````
將軍端着盛滿酒的大碗,一低頭,進到我的房間。此刻我正望着窗外發呆,自己也不清楚在想些什麼,也許是那個很美麗的地方吧、、、、、、
“宗敏,來、來、來,喝一碗!這裡夜晚潮氣很重,喝酒可以除去你這周身的溼氣!”
不論闖王是假意的關心,還是出征前的興奮,我都要接受,他當年待我不薄,只是他看錯了的女人!!!儘管他並不知道圓圓已經是我的女人、、、、、、
我接過酒,一飲而盡,一股熱辣辣的暖流順利滑入喉嚨,之後,渾身都熱了起來,就像是凝凍的血液突然間快速奔跑了起來、、、、、、心跳也加速了。
```````````````````````````````````````````````
“將軍明天幾時行動?”
這個問題似乎我不該問,但卻忍不住要問。
“明天你隨我一起行動吧,也好助我一臂之力。”
這熱的似火的眼睛,紅的可怕,無法推拒,也無法躲避、、、、、、
“我的傷、、、、、、”
“你不必擔心,到時候你只要緊跟着我,時刻唯我出謀劃策即可。”
不知他是出於何意。儘管廢了胳膊,但對付一兩個兵衛還是綽綽有餘,只是我已經是局外人,又曾得罪於他,這麼多年,一直要殺我泄憤,這次卻又如此待我?!
難道是想借吳軍之手除掉我?還是爲了、、、圓圓?
