- Late at night

Jiao He was sleeping on the bed, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, he couldn't help but open his eyes and look, and saw that a few immortal masters and gods and witches he trusted had come in, so he hurriedly asked the little guy on the side to help him sit up and asked, "A few immortal masters came to look for me late at night, but there is something urgent?" ”

Several immortal masters nodded to each other, and one of them said, "Envoy, we just got an elixir, and we are here to present it!" ”

"Elixir?"

"This elixir is the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and we can get one after a few days of hard training, so that after the king is served, it only takes one day to heal from the injury!"

"Oh? And such an elixir? Give me a try! ”

Jiao He was convinced of these immortal masters, and immediately took the elixir and water to serve, and heard the immortal master say, "The envoy only needs to rest for a while, and from tomorrow onwards, he will know himself!" ”

Jiao He nodded, and sighed, "Thanks to you, otherwise I don't know when this injury will heal, and when I retreat from the thief army, I will definitely cultivate the Great View, so that you can cultivate immortals with peace of mind!" ”

After everyone thanked him, he retreated, and Jiao He also lay down and fell asleep again, and after a while, he saw that his breathing was gradually weak, and the sky had not yet been invented, but he had already stopped breathing in his sleep.

The next day, as soon as Zhao Yun and Lin Hai got up, they saw Wang Bao and Wang Weng crying outside the camp and begging to see each other.

"Wang Duwei, who are you?" Seeing Wang Bao like this, Zhao Yun first turned up the corners of his mouth, and then asked with a strange expression.

"Yesterday, I got the good news from Ma Pingyuan, and we also reported it to the envoy, but I didn't expect that the yellow turban thieves were hidden among the immortals and gods and witches around the envoy, and when they saw the danger, they actually took the opportunity to poison the envoy last night and killed the envoy!!"

As he spoke, Wang Bao and Wang Weng both knelt on the ground, beating their chests and hitting the ground, wailing and crying.

Zhao Yun gave Lin Hai a look, then stepped forward to help Wang Bao and said, "How can there be such a thing?" Did the thief get caught? ”

Wang Bao first nodded, then shook his head and said, "I only know that the envoy was poisoned, but I don't know who did it, I have arrested all those immortal masters and gods and witches, and they are being tortured, and the real murderer will definitely be found!"

It's just that the three armies can't be without a handsome, the siege of the thief army outside the city is urgent, if you learn that there is a change in the city, you will inevitably attack, you know that you are shallow in learning, and you don't know the art of war, I want to ask the two temporary commanders in the city to protect the people of Qingzhou, I don't know if you can agree? ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly refused, "Wang Duwei is the commander of Jiao's envoy, the official position is above us, and we are guest generals, how can we be anti-guest-oriented?" It's better for Wang Duwei to temporarily take charge of the whole army! ”

Wang Bao and Wang Weng glanced at each other, nodded and said, "That's it, it's okay, but Qingzhou is now in chaos, not without an owner, although there is no talent and less virtue in the next, but for Qingzhou's plan, I have to say nothing, in the next want to unite the officials to welcome the horse plain on behalf of the Qingzhou Thorn History, and ask Zhao Sima to speak for me!" ”

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "This matter is very important, and the last general will not dare to say it lightly, but we will discuss this matter after my lord breaks the enemy!" ”

Wang Bao originally just wanted to make his position clear, and by the way, he paid the vote, so he didn't say anything more and left.

As for those immortal masters and witches, no one cares what these people will say, their final outcome is already doomed.

On the other side, Xu He finally gathered the remnants of less than 20,000 people, and regardless of whether anyone ran out, he returned to the camp outside Licheng.

When the generals who stayed behind in the camp saw Xu He coming back in embarrassment, they immediately knew that the arrow book handed down from Licheng a few days ago was true.

"Xu Qushuai, what about Sima Qushuai?"

"Qu Shuai, this is the book of arrows shot from the city a few days ago!"

"Qu Shuai, what should we do now?"

The swarm of questions made Xu He anxious, and he roared angrily, "Shut up!" Our army is only a small defeat, what are you waiting for? ”

As he spoke, Xu He gasped and said, "The official army is right, our army was defeated at the foot of Heban Mountain, Sima Qushuai was captured, and the official army has captured Dongpingling and Taixian... Our way back is broken! ”

It is said that it is a small defeat, but everyone understands that there are only so many elites who can really fight, and now it is broken in half, which can be said to be a big loss.

"Licheng has Zhu'a's reinforcements again, I don't think it will be able to get through, the only way is to cross the river directly and go to the north of Jishui!" When Xu He came back, he thought about the way back and said it immediately.

"Qu Shuai, our army has nearly 600,000 people, and if we want to cross Jishui, even if the officers and troops do not hinder it, it will take ten days, not to mention that Jibei is a horse and Pingchuan, in case the officers and troops pursue it with cavalry...."

Some generals immediately objected, the reason why they fought under Licheng for so long was because it was unrealistic to cross the river directly.

"And further north, there will be the Plains Country, and there will be heavy troops!"

Xu He stood up, patted the map on the wall and said, "Either go north!" Or enter Tarzan! Do you think Tarzan can enter? ”

"Taishan can't enter it, there are so many of us, where can Taishan live."

"That's right, the Taishan army is not weak..."

Just when everyone was at a loss, a sergeant suddenly came in and reported "Newspaper!!" Sima Qushuai is back! ”

"What??"

Everyone looked out of the tent in surprise, and sure enough, Sima Ju, who was wearing a beautiful battle armor, swaggered in.

"Brother!!" Xu He was pleasantly surprised and wanted to step forward to hug Sima Ju, but when he saw the battle armor on Sima Ju's body, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes became gloomy.

"Sima Qushuai... You're wearing the armor of the Plains Army! Xu He asked with a hesitant expression.

Sima Ju patted the Shanwen armor on his body and said with a smile, "Yes! What do you think of this armor? ”

"Good stuff!"

"Qu Shuai, how did you get it?"

There was no one around who was illiterate, and his eyes were full of envy.

It's all fighting men, who doesn't want to get a pair of such armor.

This is a life at a critical moment.

"Humph! It seems that Brother Sima is here to be lobbyists! Xu He snorted, and the others immediately reacted, no, didn't it mean that Sima Ju was arrested? Why are you running here in the clothes of the Plains Army now?

Sima Ju sighed first, and then said, "The Plains Army has occupied Dongpingling and Tai County, and our army is now trapped in this land that is not a hundred miles away, our army lacks cavalry, and there is no food to raise, at most in January, the food will be exhausted!" ”

"Even so, do you have to surrender the officers and soldiers?" Xu He scolded excitedly: "Sima Ju, have you forgotten the last life of the great sage and good teacher who asked us to create a peaceful world, and have you forgotten how the government oppressed us?" Have you forgotten how our family starved to death! Have you forgotten the brothers who were killed in Jizhou?

Surrender to the government, that is a dead end! ”

As he spoke, Xu He pulled out his sword and pointed at Sima Ju and said, "Sima Ju, if you want to surrender, for the sake of our brother for many years, I won't stop you, but I, Xu He, will never surrender to Han!" ”

"That's right! You can't surrender! ”

"Don't forget the incident in Jizhou back then, how many brothers surrendered and were killed? Officers and soldiers are not credible!! ”

The generals responded one after another, expressing their distrust of the Han court.
