In Lixian County, Wang Chong, who moved here to defend here, nervously watched the battle of the Xiqiao Battalion, and most of the Han soldiers at the head of the city were silently watching.

Several Han cavalry broke through the Wei army blockade line and sent Zhang Fei's military order, and Wang Chong read it and showed it to the surrounding military officials: "Duke Wei does not allow our army to respond, nor does he allow the western camp to break through." When the day dawns, the thieves are tired from a long battle, and it is the time for our army to counterattack. ”

Everyone replied one after another, and went back to organize the decisive battle tomorrow morning.

In the Xiqiao camp, the Wei army receded like a tide in the night, and the Han army cleaned up the battlefield.

The corpses of the Wei army with stripped armor were thrown out of the barracks, and the Wei light soldiers came forward to collect them.

The defenders collected the bodies of the dead, and more than 30 relatives and friends of Jiangdong origin, including Yu and his father and son, and Xu Ling, a doorman, were killed and placed in front of Chen Shi.

The Han army had the second case of a senior general killed since Wu Yi, the governor of Guanzhong, and Chen's short beard had been scorched by fireworks, and his faces were blackened with smoke and sweat.

He knelt on one knee in front of Yu Turnover, and personally took off Yu Turn's armor and helmet, there were two silk books in the helmet, and a silk book read: 'Dr. Yi Jing of the Han Dynasty, the head of the General Cavalry Mansion, Shi Xingyou, joined the army Yu Turning Zhongxiang', which was the last resort to identify the head of the enemy after the death.

Even if they are killed in battle, high-ranking military officials should be treated as they deserve.

The other scroll is a suicide note, which is contained in a bag with the words 'Shi'er Shifang'.

The negative seals and suicide notes above the battalion governor were collected and stored in a centralized manner, and then burned in a centralized manner to prevent the heads of middle and senior military officials from falling into the hands of the Wei army.

The flames rose, and Chen Shi said to the depressed military officials around him: "Jingling Liu Gan is a warrior, Chen Gong pities it, the soldiers of Beifu are good at fighting, and they don't send an arrow to break Zhang Liao and rescue Liu Gan and others." But if it were me, I would rather die than be at the mercy of thieves. I'd rather die by fire than be touched by a thief. ”

"I would like to die as a ghost of the Han family!"

One of the camp governors swallowed the dry rations and threw his head up and shouted.

Pang Yan turned his head sideways to look left and right, and saw that everyone was in high spirits, and they all burst into blood anger.

There was also a battalion governor who asked, grinning: "Governor, when will our army be able to attack Luoyang?" ”

Chen Shi turned his head to look at the south: "This year, we will definitely be able to attack the city of Luoyang and recover the eastern capital." ”

An elderly military officer sighed: "When the capital is recovered, the world can be determined." ”

The surrounding military officials also recognized that the attack intensity of the Wei army was not high, and it was far inferior to the Battle of Hanzhong.

After the capture of Luoyang, there will be a new watershed in the fighting spirit of the enemy and us, and the Wei army at that time will be even more vulnerable.

On the periphery, Cao Hong observed the camp in detail, and saw that the fire in the camp burned the dead, and his own side also restrained the dead, and he was angry and had no intention of fighting.

Liu Sheng had already broken away from Cao Xiu's side and led more than 100 horsemen back to Cao Hong's side, and Weng and his son-in-law watched the scene in the camp together.

Cao Hong squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Ah Sheng, these are Ah Sheng's foundation sooner or later." ”

"The woman said that she laughed, and this is with me?"

Liu Sheng didn't have much smile on his face, and only said: "I've seen too much strife and fighting, and I want to find a peaceful place to spend my old age with my wife and children." It's just that the Han Dynasty stands again, and everyone can be safe, but I am rare to be peaceful. ”

"Ugh."

Cao Hong sighed, put his hands behind his back, and regretted: "It's a pity that Wen Lie actually connived at Cao Zhen." ”

"Women, Wen Lie's temperament is like this."

Liu Sheng showed hesitation on his face: "My son-in-law thinks that the Han army will launch a thunderous offensive, and our army will be tired and difficult to support." If defeated, the woman will have the disaster of the temple. ”

Taking a deep breath, Liu Sheng said again: "Women, those who can unite people's hearts are not in Luoyang, but in the east. ”

Cao Hong raised his hand to stroke his beard, paced left and right, and suddenly turned around: "Virtuous son-in-law, would you like to take my talisman to pay homage to the Han lord?" ”

Liu Sheng's eyes widened slightly, and he shook his head slightly: "If the son-in-law dares to go, he is afraid of being imprisoned." ”

"At this time, you have to be a virtuous son-in-law."

Cao Hong took out the silk book that had been prepared, approached Liu Sheng and handed it into his hand, and comforted: "I know that the virtuous son-in-law has been imprisoned a lot over the years, and his ambition cannot be relaxed. But I have always admired the Han lord as a person, and I have never treated my virtuous son-in-law badly. When this virtuous son-in-law is trapped in the sea, how can he slack off? ”

This is right, Liu Sheng nodded, very embarrassed: "After all, it is father and son, many words...... The son-in-law is inconvenient to say. ”

Cao Hong is not short of money, and he also has enough power to protect Liu Sheng, except that Liu Sheng has no power in his hands and cannot raise concubines, his treatment is no different from that of the children of the Cao family in other aspects.

Seeing Liu Sheng's embarrassed appearance, Cao Hong turned around and took down the enshrined festival from the chariot, and now he, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xiahou are still holding the festival, but Sima Yi, the overseer of the governor's army, does not hold the festival.

Jingjie was stuffed into Liu Sheng's hand, Cao Hong patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "All the winged virtuous sons-in-law under my command are strong, and after the second watch, the virtuous son-in-law returns, and they will pull out the camp together and go east!" ”

Only by bringing the army under his command to the east can the army be maintained.

As for the main military officials of Qian Pei's hometown...... This is not a problem, these are the people who know the most about current affairs.

Seeing that Liu Sheng was not moving, Cao Hong almost said in a mournful voice: "Ah Sheng, the lord of Han is old, as a son of man, he should say goodbye and talk about family life." Even if the Han lord imprisons Ah Sheng, will there be changes in the family? ”

That's right, the Great Wei world is over, and Liu Sheng's wife and family must be safe.

There are too many people who will jump out to protect them, or even champion them, support them.

Liu Sheng's eyes gradually turned red, moist, and trembled: "Yes, the son-in-law is willing to obey the order." ”

"Good! All right! ”

Cao Hong excitedly patted Liu Sheng's shoulder with his hand, turned his head and shouted: "Beat the drum, gather the generals to discuss matters." ”

In the sound of drums, the generals and colonies of the various armies approached one after another, most of them were emotionally stable, Tian Xin was dead, the news needed to be spread, and the morale of the Han army needed to be brewed before something could happen.

As long as they don't attack, the Han army will naturally discuss and think about this matter.

The offensive was so rapid that the Han army didn't even have time to think, and they would definitely not believe that Tian Xin was assassinated by his cousin.

Therefore, the general school is generally in a stable mood with a certain degree of optimism.

Cao Hong waited quietly, but never saw the overseer Sima Yi appear, and saw that the others who should have come had already come, so he got up and stretched out his arms and pointed to Liu Sheng, who was holding the turmeric yak Tianzi Festival on his side: "Gentlemen, this virtuous son-in-law Liu Asheng is the eldest son of the Han lord." ”

The generals who knew and didn't know Liu Sheng all got up from the mazar and bowed to Liu Sheng.

"It's not proper, it's not etiquette."

Cao Hong corrected their confused titles, and used a casual tone: "Your lords' words are not in line with etiquette, we are the courtiers of the old Han Dynasty after all, and the current Han lord Sanxing Yanhan, we should be honored." ”

These generals looked at each other, their eyes complicated and anxious for a while, ignorant, joyful, and worried.

But they still bowed in unison and saluted: "Meet Your Highness." ”

After the title was changed, after these people sat down again, their bearing was much calmer, and their eyes at Cao Hong were quite soft, admiring, admiring, and admiring.

Cao Hong coughed lightly: "Today, the fact that Xiahou Boren, the general of Zhengnan, forged the head of Duke Chen, has been exposed, and our army is in prison. There are not only the disasters of military defeat and death, the disasters of wives and children, parents, and clans, but also the disasters of temples. The disaster of the temple is like a thunderbolt hitting the top, the punishment is unknowable, and the power is unpredictable. ”

Saying that, Cao Hong wept: "It's a certain old and useless, and the soldiers are so affected." In order to atone for my sins, and for the rescue of the officials, I came to Ah Sheng, and asked Tuo Ah Sheng to come forward to worship the Lord of Han and beg for the life of our soldiers. This move is contrary to Luoyang, and now it is a last resort for the officials. ”

He was really crying, and the old tears flowed: "I want to follow Emperor Wu to fight in the east and west for more than 30 years, but now I am controlled by Cao Zidan's children, and let me wait to be an army of abandoned sons and bait." ”

"Abandoned son? What does General Wei mean by this? ”

General Liu Qiaohao stood up, he couldn't figure it out, and the other generals were also anxious.

Cao Hong seemed to have something unspeakable, covered his face with his sleeve and turned his head over, silently sobbing tears, choked and couldn't speak.

Everyone looked at Liu Sheng, and Liu Qiao even knelt down on one knee and bowed his hand, looking up at Liu Sheng: "Please also ask Your Highness for guidance!" ”

Liu Sheng looked at Liu Qiao, and then at the others, he also lowered his face, and replied weakly: "Cao Zidan has dispatched Cao Wenlie and Xiahou Boren to ride strongly, and now the cavalry army is 40,000 on the north bank, just wait...... Just wait for the Han army to pursue our army and the Chinese army. ”

"It was because I was worried about the safety of the woman that a certain person came to the starry night to inform me of this."

"Your Highness is benevolent!"

Liu Qiao knelt on his knees instead, paused, and put his forehead on the ground: "I beg Your Highness to help, saving me is equivalent to fire and water!" ”

"I beg Your Highness to save me, which is equal to fire and water!"

One by one, the generals, captains, and captains knelt and bowed, and several supervisors stood on the side at a loss, and when they noticed Cao Hongwang coming, they quickly crouched on the ground one by one.

Liu Sheng turned his head to look, and Cao Hong also looked back, his eyes encouraging and full of hope.
