战事一月不歇。白楼州连同流州数座关口,虽皆有胥孟府调拨而来的军马困城,但阵仗分明是徒有惊雷过,而除开三两阵微风后,雨势并不大,反倒是天西城处已有足足月余未曾传来什么消息,一来无哨马送信,二来无鸟雀传书,白楼州与流州两地族老相商几度,犹豫再三,最终还是咬紧牙关从各地新调来数批人马,约有近万数,前去替天西关解围,即使解围不得,照旧能传回些许零星消息,从而知晓这座遭重兵围困已眼见近两月的城池,是否尚在流州手中。一去如泥牛入海,再无消息,算时日人马已该到天西城前,如有探马回报,早该去而复返,然再度咬牙苦等三日,依旧无哨马回返,这座天西城似是遭人从流州以西生生使遮蔽,城中之人出不得,城外之人进不得,甚至有数次坐镇流州的几位族老都以为,天西城必是一座死城,恐怕各部铁骑已是凿开这座雄关,正长驱直入朝北而去。花甲年岁的吴律已有多日食不下咽辗转反侧,即使多年未再遇战事,吴律亦是晓得胥孟府中有排兵布阵的大才,何况旁人立在上风,对于流姑白楼三州而言,仅能慎防而不可其起主动攻伐的念头,所以即使战事才烧到流州白楼州两地,????????????????吴律与其余几位族老就大致猜出,别地多半是佯攻,而天西城却必是强攻,然而依旧不敢涉险挪用别地城中守卒。战事经年累月,正帐王庭疲敝不堪,流州白楼州如此多年积攒下的家底,眼见已是掏得亏空甚大,并非是在钱粮之上,而是在人手兵力上捉襟见肘,千金买命,阎王不允,何况三州地对上八九州地域,虽大元地广而人稀,兵源依旧不能与胥孟府相提并论。故而这几日以来,身在流州族老府中的吴律连番动肝火,眼疾复发,哪怕使败火清目的茶汤药材灌得满腹,到夜深无人的时节依旧觉躁火攻心,难以安然睡去,一连多日如此,只得披起衣衫去到族老府外松林中坐起,指望借依旧清冷冰凉的长风清去内里火气。待到狼烟起,经年不归家,算到如今逾年的光景,吴律仅是在岁除时归家一趟,匆匆而去匆匆而归,至于余下心思全然不曾放在别处,光是用于批阅绘图推演敌势,就不晓得用去多少份松墨,老笔用秃数根,同其余几位族老同在此地,熬得险些油尽灯枯。“下回夜幕再敢长吁短叹,你来这睡就是,切莫留在府中,冻死活该。”吴律还未从方才怪诞荒唐的半梦半醒里脱身,身旁却是坐下位腰腹笔直,而鬓发尽白的老汉,全然瞧不出像是族老,衣衫整洁老旧,甚至还比不得寻常百姓。“烽火连年,寝食难安是常事,但这流州族老府中属你吴律年轻,其余大多已和我一样步入花甲年岁,气血两亏越发不中用,要是你吴律倒了,流州事该由谁挑大梁?难不成是我这七十古来稀的老汉,替你撑腰?”来人是流州族老府里资历最长的族老,从天下兵荒马乱起就身在族老阁中,呆过近甲子的年岁,旁人都不敢唤其性命,只敢唤一声古老,但这位老爷子却从无甚架子,更是凭古来稀的年纪,喜弄花草斗犬放鹰,有时甚至连吴律都觉得,本应该是这位古老比自己岁数轻才是,如今随吴律坐到松林当中,提起杯素酒,勉强解解馋虫。有时不得不认,武夫口碑不见得好,但却是比起不通武艺,四体不勤的文人来,身子骨就是要硬朗太多,古老年少戎马,凭塞外大元结实冷风吹出副瓷实身板来,大元乱象经年,同样苦苦撑着,但瞧如今的精气神,比吴律不知要好多少,甚至尚有闲情逸致饮酒耍鹰,同人炫耀自家那头亲手逮到,足足熬过七日的白头隼。吴律历来知晓古老脾性,非但不曾觉得这位辈分奇高的老人言语挖苦很是惹人生怒,竟一时间觉得心弦有所松弛,暂且从万事携来劳烦念头里遁出身来,可还是轻叹两口气。“如能从古老这偷来两手本领,情愿少活十年,入局快出局也快,喝酒时不去想种种琐事,而思量大事时又能心无旁骛,我却仍是优柔寡断,还是不曾习惯身在乱世过活。”而回应吴律的只是一枚酒坛。古老向来不喜饮素酒,常觉滋味过于清汤寡水,并无甚可取之处,但又生怕饮酒误事,只好以素酒暂代,将酒坛递上过后翻个白眼。“尽人事安天命,就算你愁死在这府中,胥孟府就能感怀你大义撤军?知其事能成与否不在人指掌里,尽心而安天命即可,想来这道理你比我熟,可是偏偏就像在衡量胜负的那杆秤上,再添点心头血,但若是劳累过度生病或是两腿一伸死在府里,反而不如细水长流。”马蹄声响彻清冷凉夜。两人不约而同回头,看到的却是位满身浴血的校尉,近乎是从马背上摔将下来,尚????????????????连滚带爬向族老府中跑去,好在是两人连忙上前搀住这位校尉,不然凭眼下跌跌撞撞的脱力脚步,当真走不到府中。校尉归属于调拨前往天西城的流州几
路兵马中,披一袭血衣,甲胄早已破损不堪,挣扎起身从腰间摸出封书信,交与眼前两人,还是古老提来素酒灌下,缓过几口气来,才是急切道来。天西城凭不足万数军卒守城,头数日攻城,就折损过半,后有城中老幼妇孺添补,持茅挂甲,才强行抵挡住往后的半月攻势,尤其惨烈,到眼下城中逾十二岁的男子,剩不过百,五旬之上老者自告奋勇爬上城头拒敌,已折损四成朝上。天西城后两山当中本该有送信通路,但历大小数十战,城中人手不足,城关失守数次,遭人踏上城头,将城后通路截断,直到如今天西城除却城南尚有半座城外,北城已是失陷,故而既无人能进城,也无人能出城,同一座死城无异。相持不下,胥孟府兵卒亦是死伤甚重,临登城头时节先行万箭开路,引燃城中囤积粮草,后又因北城失陷,粮草已所剩无几,到校尉随军生生从城外杀开条步步血水漫地的血路,冲入南城城头处时,城中所剩百姓皆已瘦弱枯槁,已有数十人生生饿死。“后调去天西城的万数兵马冲入城中,难不成仍未曾解去天西城之围?”吴律接过书信过后细看,双手颤抖,猛然揪住那校尉衣襟,却是发觉后者脏污面皮上两眼含泪。“流州派往天西城万数兵马汇于城外,死力冲杀入城,折损近半,虽助守将冯辕夺取大半北城,而北道已是受阻,围城守军每日搭土台放箭,飞鸟绝迹,书信不可传出。天西城破在即,不得已才令属下外出送书信,于是再度冲下城去,生从万军当中杀开条血路护在下传书,将军连同余部尽数战死城外。”吴律听罢过后怔怔坐到原处,还是古老急忙唤人,带这位校尉前去好医治伤势,同样是长长吐出口浊气。天西城但凡有攻城事,必是惨烈至极,只是未曾想过胥孟府一方竟近乎是调来不下于姑州围困正帐王庭数目的兵卒,誓死踏开这座天西城城关。而更是不曾想过,城门数座,城广而兵少的天西城究竟如何能撑住足足逾月光景,直到如今将书信送至流州族老府中,而这书信送至,昼夜不停也需三五日,连古老都不知,如今天西城上旌旗,可否已是易主。书信里字字泣血。吴律强忍喉头腥甜味摇晃站起身来,惨笑不已。大元虽战事经年,可惜流州始终未受如此铁蹄烽烟,甚至连族老府中,都不晓得应当如何抵挡排山倒海似的铁蹄北上,明知天西城在旁人看来如鲠在喉,定要重兵来攻,自己却是迟迟不曾拿定主意,倾流州上下兵马募兵收粮,不遗余力救援。胥孟府引数倍于天西城大军来攻,而被拦在关前月余,可流州族老府既不曾收有线报,也不曾再度指派兵马相援,何其荒唐。“请古老借印。”流州族老令,手持两枚者可调运半座流州兵马,逾三枚者可与族首等同,流州各部不曾举荐流州之首,大权便分握到几位族老手中,向来互有制衡,即便战时也不曾有这等先例。“要做什么,总要说说。”“天西城破,无非是令流州胸膛尽露在外,欲要吞下流州,胥孟府连同鹰犬未必有这能耐,可现在如是天西城破,待到下去的时候,怎么对得起城头死战????????????????的军卒百姓。”“而天西城如是未破,流州上下,心气尚存,既能以一城万数兵马死守数万兵甲围攻逾月,三州之地,如何胜不得大元九州,于情于理,即使救不下,也要去救,老汉不懂武功,可这身皮肉总也能挡挡矛锋。”一枚古字令落到吴律掌中,古老从吴律手中拿过那封书信,两手捧起,一步一顿离去。权令不过二三斤重,可这封书信的分量,沉如山岳。
