A quarter of the houses in Shangcai City are in ruins.

Whether it was the annihilation battle of the camp cavalry, or the pursuit battle between Wu Anguo and Zhang Liao, it ended at noon, and the battle lasted from midnight to noon, a full six hours.

Yuan Yao stopped in Shangcai City, and everywhere he looked, there was smoke coming out.

Although the scorching sun at noon was not as good as fire, taking advantage of the hot breath of the fire wave, it made Yuan Yao feel cold in his heart.

Liu Bei is a hero, but he didn't know that Liu Bei was so scheming, and he actually used such a vicious and insidious fire attack technique to burn the city.

Yuan Yao was a great victory in this battle, Liu Bei's more than 13,000 men and horses were almost wiped out, or died or surrendered, but Yuan Yao seemed to be definitely not the winner, just a fire attack in the dense city of Shangcai, at least three or four thousand men and horses under Yuan Yao's command were destroyed, and some soldiers and horses were burned alive in the flames!

At the same time, the people who were recruited by Liu Bei did not know that a fire suddenly fell from the sky, and thousands of people died in the sea of fire.

Everywhere on the ground, there were broken flags, broken weapons, thrown armor everywhere, and unspeakable stumps burned by the flames, and the corpses of soldiers and horses that were difficult to distinguish......

The skeleton of the house has been burned to black ashes.

The smell of decay lingered in the west of the city for a long time.

Looking at it this way, the west of Shangcai's city is almost an adult's purgatory.

This war made Yuan Yao feel heartbroken and unforgettable, he knew that the situation of the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he also knew that one would succeed and ten thousand bones would wither, but acting like this, such a battle damage, Yuan Yao couldn't help but secretly clench his iron fist, and a pair of eagle eyes were like fire.

"Liu Bei......!" Yuan Yao spat lightly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a cold smile.

The task of cleaning up the battlefield fell to Chen Zhi and Huang Yi beside him, and at this time, even a guy with big nerves like Huang Yi closed his mouth tightly, not daring to say a word.

The two of them worked diligently, knowing that Yuan Yao was not far away, but they didn't dare to raise their heads to look at Yuan Yao.

After staring for a moment, Yuan Yao let out a long breath of turbidity, turned around and turned his horse to go to the county government. Xu Shu accompanied him, looking back at the west of the small county town that had become an adult's purgatory, his heart was also cold, and his face was solemn.

In the county governance of Shangcai County, Yuan Yao was patiently waiting for the news brought by Ma Zhong.

If Liu Bei was really captured alive, then even if he was cut with a thousand knives, he would not understand the hatred in Yuan Yao's heart! If Yuan Yao was afraid that Liu Bei would affect his great cause in the future, then at this time, Yuan Yao's cognition of Liu Bei has reached an unforgettable point! After all, overnight, Liu Bei, who was originally pretending to be kinder than anyone else in front of the people under his command, turned out to be the executioner who sent them on the road, which was simply heartbreaking!

Such Liu Bei is no different from Cao Cao, terrifying!

In the account, Gan Ning, Wu Anguo, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Liu Pi, Xu Shu and other civil and military officers were on the left and right, not daring to speak, waiting for Yuan Yao to speak.

The moment of a few pillars of incense passed in a flash, and after a while, the scouts sent by Ma Zhong had already turned over and entered the account, thinking that Yuan Yaoyu had reported the news, "Your Majesty, Liu Bei has escaped......"

The scout explained what had happened to Yuan Yao, and the corners of Yuan Yao's mouth pulled out an ugly smile.

"Sure enough, Liu Bei's escape technique is still rare in the world!"

After a while, another scout entered the camp, and it became clear that Tai Shici had not been able to leave Liu Bei behind, but only beheaded Mi Fang and captured Gong Du alive.

Yuan Yao's face was neither sad nor happy.

Mi Fang and Gong Du were not beheaded?

However, after capturing Gong Du alive, Yuan Yao was a little surprised, at this time Yuan Yao turned his head to ask Liu Bi's opinion, after all, Gong Du is also a general, and it will be useful if he surrenders.

Liu Bi said stiffly, "Your Majesty will deal with Gong Du, I have nothing to say!" However, Gong Du has always admired Zhang Fei very much......"

Liu Bi still hasn't said a word, that is, "Both of them are ugly......"

So I sympathize with each other, and Your Majesty, Wu Anguo is still a little more heroic under your command, so it's better to behead.

Yuan Yao didn't think about it so much, he was already churning with anger, and when he heard that Gong Du admired Zhang Fei very much, Yuan Yao immediately remembered that Liu Bei was coming, and coldly ordered the herald to pass on the news and behead him immediately.

The soldiers under his command originally thought that in this way, I was afraid that it would not have a bad impact on the surrender of the generals in the future, but when they saw Xu Shu's slightly imperceptible shaking of his head, and then looked at Yuan Yao's solemn expression, they all closed their mouths......

In the evening, the slanting sun was like blood, and Zhao Yun, who let go of the generals under Liu Bei's command, took off his armor, put down the spear in his hand, and personally went to the county to ask Yuan Yao for his guilt, "Your Majesty, I let Liu Bei go, and please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Yun was a bachelor, and he knelt down so straight, without even a word of explanation.

Yuan Yao's face suddenly became gloomy.

He already knew the news that Zhao Yun let Liu Bei go privately, although Yuan Yao had always wanted to convince himself that Zhao Yun was a loyal and righteous person, but when he remembered that it was clear that a Xiaoqiang who could be killed by himself actually ran away...... , Yuan Yao's face twitched.

Liu Bei, a person who is willing to disgust himself to fulfill others, who is willing to give all his negative energy to himself, and who will always exude positive energy to the world, although almost all of them are pretended, it is undeniable that Liu Bei will always be a lord with a strong personality, and such a lord must be a character that many strategists and soldiers will persistently pursue, not to mention that Liu Bei is still a relative of the Han family!

This shows that the weak side of public opinion in the Great War is Yuan Yao in the entire Han Dynasty.

"How and why?" Yuan Yao's face was as calm as ice, and the county governance was suddenly cold, and all the generals looked at Zhao Yun's answer with sympathy.

"Your Majesty, when Zilong served under General Gongsun before, he had personal friends with Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and moreover, Liu Bei and others recommended me, and I have ...... kindness" Zhao Yun talked eloquently.

"So you're doing it for business?" Before Yuan Yao could speak, Xu Shu on the side hurriedly shouted, "Who gave you so much power, how many soldiers under Liu Bei's command were burned to death in Shangcai, and how many innocent people were burned to death!" You know what? Don't hesitate to confess your sins to Your Majesty! ”

Xu Shu hurriedly shouted to Zhao Yun, he really couldn't figure out His Majesty's mood now, but Xu Shu knew Zhao Yun's martial arts and army command level, and they were all sons of a poor family, Xu Shu also valued Zhao Yun's talent, and was afraid that Yuan Yao would behead Zhao Yun if he went crazy, so he spoke coldly.

"Burning innocent people?"

Zhao Yun's face suddenly sank, and when he came in, he thought that Yuan Yao's ugly face that seemed to be owed him eight million by others was because he let Liu Bei make it, and he didn't expect it...... And that's not the first reason?

Tai Shici, who came back next to him, closed his cold eyes one by one, and said lightly to Zhao Yun, "Before Liu Bei left, he spread grain and grass between the streets and alleys of Shangcai, and after Guan Yu resisted, he set fire to the rockets in Zhoucang, and the city was crowded at that time, and the soldiers rubbed shoulders, and the people were at home, without knowing it, this fire burned almost a quarter of Shangcai......"

Zhao Yun's face turned white in an instant.

"Your Majesty, Yun really didn't know that Liu Xuande actually did such an angry thing, because of his private abolition, he let Liu Bei go, causing such a thug to go to Jingxiang, a guilty person, and there is no redemption for death!" Zhao Yun pleaded guilty, this time Zhao Yun's whole body trembled involuntarily, he thought that Liu Bei was just a hypocrite, but he didn't expect to be a thug who disregarded the lives of innocent people so much.

At this moment, Zhao Yun only felt that his worldview had been completely subverted.

Looking at Zhao Yun who was kneeling on the ground, Yuan Yao's face slowly eased, he really believed in Zhao Yun, it makes sense that Zhao Zilong was called a loyal and righteous peer by later generations, just look at the famous generals of Shu, Zhao Yun was only made a marquis after almost Shu was destroyed, in the circle of heroes of Shu, Zhao Yun has a lot of credit, but almost what he does is Liu Bei's personal bodyguard, and Liu Bei is actually a little defensive against Zhao Yun.

All this shows that Zhao Yun was loyal to the Han Dynasty more than Liu Bei.

And now because of Liu Bei's recommendation at the beginning, Zhao Yun would rather risk being beheaded by Yuan Yao and let Liu Bei leave, how could it not be the embodiment of loyalty and righteousness?

Thinking of this, Yuan Yao's face softened even more, speaking of which, how similar is this to Zhao Yun to Huarong Dao Guan Yu when he released Cao Cao? However, Zhao Yun's purpose is more pure.

Moreover, Zhao Yun is also an indispensable fierce general under Yuan Yao, if he does not give grace at this time, how long will he stay? Since Liu Bei has escaped, it will be useless, whether Liu Bei is walking on the road and is killed by a horse thief or suffocated, or really meets our Zhuge Liang children's shoes again and then enjoys the joy of fish and water, and kills Liu Zhang's stupid and cute Yizhou Thorn History, it has nothing to do with Yuan Yao at this moment......

"This time the plan is very strict, what you want is to capture Liu Bei for your life or kill Liu Bei, Ma Zhong carefully planned for several days, but in the end he was defeated by you alone! Hold you accountable, you really can't redeem your death!" Yuan Yao stared at Zhao Yun's eyes and said loudly, "But seeing that what you did was just to make up for the kindness of the year, loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled, and when you entered my account, you have a lot of credit, I will remove you from the post of general and make you a captain, if there is such a thing again, I will not spare it!" ”

Yuan Yao's gaze was like ice, and he turned his head to look at Chen Dao, Huang Yi and the others who had already finished sorting out the battlefield, "Now everything in Shangcai City, you two will lead it for the time being." ”

Chen Zhi and Huang Yi should claim to be.

Zhao Yun, who was still in panic and uneasiness, was very surprised when he heard that Yuan Yao had passed his mistake like this, turned his head to look at Yuan Yao, and thanked him, "On the battlefield in the future, Zhao Yun will capture Liu Bei for His Majesty!" Zhao Yun gritted his teeth.

At this time, Zhao Yun looked at Yuan Yao's gaze, which was more of a kind of respect.

Yuan Yao's eyes were full of rebelliousness, and he said lightly, "Since that's the case, then I'll wait for you to practice your words." ”

Just as the generals were discussing the next step to stay to the extreme, suddenly a herald from the scout camp under Lou Jiang entered the camp tent and reported to Yuan Yaoyu.

"Your Majesty, Guandu battlefield, Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou was killed by Xu Chu, frustrated and imprisoned, Yuan Shaozhong Guo Jia plotted, a battle on the battlefield of Yanjin overturned Yuan Shao more than 50,000 people, and now Yuan Shao's army is retreating, and he has to send news to His Majesty for help, this is a letter from Liu Xijiu."

As soon as these words came out, all of a sudden, the hall was full of silence!
