Chapter 7: The Battlefield

After reacting, Cai Wenji's body immediately softened, and she let Liu Xie do anything wrong. Liu Xie was very busy, and it took a long time for the two to separate, looking at Cai Wenji, who was full of shyness, Liu Xie pulled her into his arms. Liu Xie looked at Cai Wenji, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, and said softly in Cai Wenji's ear: Wenji, you are so beautiful.

At this time, Cai Wenji plucked up her courage and looked at Liu Xie boldly and said: Really? It seems that women are very concerned about their beauty at all times. Liu Xie looked at Cai Wenji and smiled: Of course it's true, can I still lie to you? Cai Wenji looked at Liu Xie and said very seriously: Your Highness doesn't lie to me, but bullies me. It's not done yet. His face turned red again.

Liu Xie stayed in Cai's Mansion until the evening before returning to the palace, and when he returned to the palace, Liu Xie directly devoted himself to busy things again, but from time to time he remembered the time in Cai's Mansion in the afternoon, and he leaked a smile. I don't know what comes to mind.

On the other side, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun have been on their way for two days.

Lu Zhi traveled from Luoyang to Hebei, because the soldiers under the command of the Eighth Lieutenant of Xiyuan were equipped with horses, so the speed of the march was very fast. Along the way, through Hangu Pass, Lu Liyang, and now he has arrived at Wei County, at this time, Lu Zhi's command is no longer the 6,000 people when he just set off from Luoyang, but 9,000 people, this is still the relationship between Lu Zhi's strict control, and the county seat passing by is only to recruit local elite soldiers, otherwise the number of people has already exceeded 10,000.

However, the current troops are murderous when they see it from afar, far from the time when they set off from Luoyang just now, those fancy shows, and the soldiers are no longer talking in the queue, everyone is stepping up to recover their strength, because they don't know when they will encounter the next battle. From the beginning to the present. In just two days, Lu Zhi and his team have already experienced dozens of battles.

The scale of each battle was not large, and the Yellow Turban Army was originally mostly peasants, untrained, and did not hurt Lu Zhi much, so the losses were very small. The main reason is that Lu Zhi wants to hurry up Jizhou as soon as possible, so he is in a hurry, and the soldiers are very tired.

Xi Zhicai looked back at the soldiers, and saw that they were all staggering, some of them were already asleep on the horse, and some of them didn't know if their weapons had fallen. He drove his horse to Lu Zhi. He hugged his fists and saluted Lu Zhi, and said: General, the soldiers are already very tired, from the time they set off to the present, it has been two days and two nights, and there are more than ten battles in the middle, although the scale of the battle is not large, but it can't stand the intensity, general, now the soldiers urgently need to rest.

Lu Zhi looked back at the soldiers who were still riding on horses, they were indeed exhausted, so he said to the herald beside him: Go down, the army will find a leeward place, set up camp, and let the soldiers rest and rest.

As soon as the herald heard Lu Zhi's words, he directly hit his horse and went to give the order: while running, he shouted: The general has an order, and the front is encamped and rested. As soon as the soldiers heard the order, they gave a shout of joy and urged their horses to run. The speed of the march of the troops was raised all at once. Lu Zhi looked back at Xi Zhicai and said, "Sir, let's go too." We'll need to do a good job of totaling it in a moment. Xi Zhicai nodded and agreed. Then the two men mounted and ran, looking for a place where they could camp.

After walking for about ten kilometers, they finally found a leeward place, and the eyes of all the soldiers looked at Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi knew what they were thinking, so he didn't have any extra words, and directly gave the order: remove the armor. The soldiers cheered and dispersed. Lu Zhi called Guan Yu and asked him to let the scout horse out, arrange the people on duty at night, and after speaking, he took Xi Zhicai to the big tent of the Chinese army. Guan Yu turned around the arrangement for the evening.

Lu Zhi came to the Chinese army tent with Xi Zhicai, and the Chinese army tent was the first to be built and the easiest to build, so it was completed first, and when Lu Zhi arrived with Xi Zhicai, the Chinese army tent had been arranged.

Lu Zhi sat directly on the main seat, looked at Xi Zhicai below and asked: Sir, according to the current speed, we can arrive in Yecheng tomorrow evening, do you see whether we continue to move forward or rest here for a day.

Xi Zhicai looked at Lu Zhi, thought for a while and said: General, I suggest that we rest here for a day first, in the past two days, we can clearly find that the closer to Hebei, the stronger the military strength of the Yellow Turban Army, thinking about the long battle when we passed through Liyang a day ago, compared with the battle we just experienced, it is not difficult to find that the military strength of the Yellow Turban Army is increasing, and now our soldiers are already very tired, if we arrive in Yecheng tomorrow and go directly to the battlefield, then our losses will be great.

When Lu Zhi heard this, he thought carefully about the two battles that Xi Zhicai said, and found that what he said was indeed right.

The troops in one day, passing through Liyang City, when it was thirty kilometers away from Liyang, there were scouts to report, there was a large army attacking Liyang City, the number of tens of thousands, at that time Lu Zhi was very strict with this group of troops, and Xi Zhicai and generals at all levels in the army made a detailed battle plan, which attack, which defense, and after all the plans were formulated, Lu Zhi stood on a high platform, condescendingly observing the entire battlefield.

When Lu Zhi waved his hand and the forward troops slowly advanced, something unexpected happened. The troops who were still attacking just now, seeing the Han army slowly pressing up, suddenly some of them threw down their weapons and fled directly, and some of them were not their comrades-in-arms around them, and they rushed directly towards the Han army, and some of them were attacking the city. The entire battlefield was in chaos for a while.

Lu Zhi has fought for half his life, and he has never encountered such a situation, but the difference between famous generals and ordinary people is reflected here, I saw that Lu Zhi was not in a hurry and proceeded according to the original plan, and the army was slowly pressing, completely ignoring the people who fled in all directions, and only headed towards the enemy in the center. As soon as the two sides engaged, the battlefield was immediately full of flesh and blood, the camp of the Han army was slowly advancing, but the camp of the Yellow Turban Army was constantly retreating. After a while, the Yellow Turban Army dispersed in a hurry, and after that, it was completely the Han Army marching on the battlefield, and when they saw that there were many people in the Yellow Turban Army, the Han Army rushed to wherever they were, and in the end, the Yellow Turban Army did not even have a small group, and they all fled separately.

The cavalry of the Han army pursued the fleeing Yellow Turban Army, and finally handed over the captured Yellow Turban Army to Liyang City, and Lu Zhi and them rushed into battle lightly.

The Yellow Turban Army encountered not long ago was far less numerous than the enemy encountered in Liyang last time, but this Yellow Turban Army saw Lu Zhi and their large army, not only did not flee, but launched an attack on Lu Zhi and them head-on, if this battle was not for Guan Yu's bravery, then in the end they might really be crushed by the Yellow Turban Army. In this battle, Lu Zhi and they suffered a lot of losses, the original more than 10,000 troops, only the current 9,000 people remained, and the rest were lost in that battle. If it weren't for Guan Yu's efforts to turn the tide, the final outcome would be really unpredictable. Originally, he had some contempt for the three people assigned to him by Liu Xie, but after this stop, they also disappeared completely.

Therefore, the current Lu Zhi attaches great importance to the people handed over to him by Liu Xie, and he directly addresses Xi Zhicai as Mr. Now think about Xi Zhicai's words, it does make sense, and now there are only 9,000 people, although they are all elites, but the number is still too small, stop here, just wait for the follow-up reinforcements. Thinking of this, Lu Zhi made up his mind and decided to stay here for a few days. However, Lu Zhi, who was idle, couldn't help but think of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and he didn't know what the situation was like there.
