111 Counterattack (I)
The thick clouds gradually tightened, the goose-feathered snow gargled and fell, the wind rose vigorously, and the broken flag shook lightly a few times, and fell to the ground. 3 At the head of the song city, the remains of the deceased and the moans of the wounded were intertwined, the screams of the warriors, the impact of Jingo, and the sound of blood spurting from the neck, but without exception, they were all suppressed by the fierce blizzard, and turned into intermittent whimpering.
"Bell-bell-bell-bell———"
The long-awaited sound of gold sounded clearly behind the Yuan army, and the Yuan army in the battle hesitated slightly, and then retreated like a tide, and no one was left in the city.
"It's over!" Xu Huang muttered a whisper, sat down slowly with his back against the city tower, the blood-devouring war knife in his hand was still tightly held, red and dripping to the ground, the blade was stained with a few snowflakes, and the restless battle intent finally fell silent.
At the head of the city, several suppressed cries sounded intermittently, whether there was the joy of the rest of the life after the catastrophe, or the grief for the brothers who died in the battle, bit by bit, gradually joined together, and finally, there was no one standing on the city tower, and they all collapsed weakly.
Several times of frequent deaths, how many brothers who get along with each other day and night were chopped into pieces, and they fell in front of their eyes, and the fierce battles for days, the gushing blood did not frighten these predators, and the feeling of escaping death was easily done.
If it is a deception and another siege, here, I am afraid that it will be blocked again!
Xu Huang thought inexplicably, the corners of his mouth were slightly cold, and a wry smile crossed him.
Although he has been in the army for many years, he has never experienced such a tragic battle, and seeing the dead and wounded all over the city, this iron-beaten man can't help but have red eyes and sit down on the ground.
The crumbling Chaoge City finally held on, but General Xu Huang, who was as tall as a pine, was almost knocked down at this moment of victory!
Yuan's army was ten times larger than himself, and he attacked fiercely for more than ten days in a row, if he hadn't been prepared, Chaoge City would have been reduced to ashes. Even so, most of the original 3,000 people in the city were killed and lost, and all the living were wounded.
However, he didn't sink for long, took a deep breath, Xu Huang stood up again, walked to the side of the water well emperor, stretched out the war knife into a wooden barrel with thin ice and shook it gently, reached into the biting ice water, picked up two handfuls of ice water to wash away the blood stains on the blade little by little, and then carefully returned the knife into the sheath, but saw that the scabbard was also stained with a lot of blood, and then picked up two handfuls of water and washed it, until the blood stain and the black scabbard were integrated, and then he did it.
He exhaled a breath of mist, took a calm step, and slowly walked towards the castle tower.
As a general, you have to ignore life and death. Victory in a battle was nothing, maybe it was just an ordinary thing like eating and drinking, and there were still many things waiting for him to do, and he didn't have so much effort to be sad.
Several of the soldiers who were still alive on the left and right stood up, waiting quietly behind Xu Huang, watching him finish washing the war knife and putting the knife into the sheath, and also stepped forward in turn, silently cleaning their weapons carefully, and then followed, following their general.
……
Although Wen Chou was killed in the first battle, and looking at the dead and wounded on the battlefield, Liu Bei did not have much joy, sighed lightly, left a battalion to treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield, and then led the army to Chaoge City.
As Jia Xu expected, Feng Ji's army had been frustrated for many days under Chaoge City, and had already lost its sharpness, and after receiving the news of Liu Beijun's reinforcements, he made a decisive decision to retreat. The reason why Wen Chou stepped forward to intercept was just to try how Liu Bei's combat strength was, and when he got to look at Wen Chou's return to Wen Chou, he quickly fell behind, Feng Ji no longer hesitated, and immediately recalled Gao Xiang, who was attacking Chaoge City, and burned all the siege equipment, destroyed the camp, and responded to Wen Chou, and the army slowly pulled out and took the initiative to evacuate Chaoge.
Liu Bei's army came, seeing that the discipline department was slowly retreating, and the troops were in order, not showing the slightest panic, so they did not come to chase, and the state army rushed for days, and was already exhausted.
When he came to Chaoge City, Xu Huang was leading people to clean the battlefield in person, collecting the limbs and remains of the brothers who died in battle, and carrying the wounded into the warm house for treatment, without going out of the city to greet him.
Liu Bei led his guards into the dilapidated Chaoge City, and when he saw this tragic situation, he was also lucky, looking at the dead and wounded all over the city, he was sad again, and hurriedly helped Xu Huang clean up the battlefield. Xu Huang was so free that he walked to Liu Bei closely, bowed down, and did not explain the reason why he did not come to greet Liu Bei, and said in a deep voice: "Lai Lord Hongfu, the soldiers of the three armies use their lives, Xu Huang is fortunate not to disgrace his life, and he will not lose the song in the end!" ”
"Komeito is tired!" Liu Bei stepped forward and helped Xu Huang up, looking at Xu Huang's bloodstained and swollen face, he was ashamed and said, "Liu Bei doesn't know anyone, so that the villain has the opportunity to invade our state, and he is tired of Gongming and his brothers in a lonely city, and they have been unprotected several times, which is Liu Bei's fault!" ”
Although Liu Bei knew that he and Yuan Shao would meet sooner or later, and he also had heavy troops in various places along the Hebei to defend tightly, he did not expect that Yuan Shao would bribe Gao Ran to launch such a surprise blow, and he was careless and completely passive. Wen Yu was killed, Liu Bei was inappropriate as the main public servant, and he really had an unshirkable responsibility. Liu Bei has never shied away from his responsibility for dereliction of duty, seeing that Xu Huang's troops have been fighting hard for days, with heavy casualties, and Chaoge City is in tatters, it is indeed a blessing to be able to hold on, and he is even more guilty in his heart.
Xu Huang's eyes turned red, and he almost burst into tears: "The villain is wrong, and the last general will swear to capture and kill him for the lord, and he will be ashamed of Xue today!" He didn't know about Gao Ran's betrayal of the state, and this gritted anger was cursed at Yuan Shao.
Jia Xu walked slowly, looked at Liu Bei and Xu Huang arming his arms to comfort, and bowed deeply to Liu Bei, and said: "Lord, Feng Ji takes the initiative to retreat, our army can take advantage of the situation to pursue and kill him again!" ”
"Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned, shook his head, and said: "Although Feng Ji retreated, he was never defeated, he retreated but not chaotic, and he was prepared. ”
Since Jia Xu and Xun You have been under the account, they have been inseparable from Liu Bei every day, and Liu Bei has been convinced of the intelligence of the two of them, but if he wants to pursue Feng Ji, he is still relieved in his heart, and he can't help but wonder.
Xu Huang didn't know Jia Xu, looking at Xun Yu who came over with him, he was also a strange face, but he didn't see Tian Feng, he was puzzled, he only looked at Jia Xu strangely, and listened to how he answered. The strange thing is that even though he thinks that the pursuit of Feng Ji will not have a good result, he always feels a sense of convincing for the person in front of him, and he also thinks about the reason for the pursuit. 3
Jia Xu glanced at Xun You and smiled slightly. Xun You, Liu Bei, and Xu Huang saluted lightly and said: "Lord, our army has just come, and it will retreat as soon as it is disciplined, which shows that it has already calculated the way to retreat." Our army rushed to the city of Chaoge, Feng Ji has not yet withdrawn, although the pace is slow, only to prevent our army from advancing, but the lord strictly ordered, our army has never had contact with them, Feng Ji thinks that the defense is strict, must think that the Lord Gong sees that there is a defense and does not dare to pursue, has been sluggish, and is anxious to find a way to retreat, our army does not rush for a while, he will be less cautious, the Lord can pursue again! ”
Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he smiled happily: "As the second prince said, teach Liu Bei to open up!" ”
After that, he was going to order troops to pursue him personally, Jia Xu took two steps forward to stop him, gave a light salute, and said: "Lord, the pursuit of the matter is just a general, why bother the lord to go in person?" And the war in the city of songs has been going on for days, and the soldiers are about to be laid by the lord, and the lord must not leave lightly! ”
"Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Jia Xu didn't want to let himself take risks, nodded appreciatively, and said: "Weiwen and persuasion, prepare a few forget about the big thing!" ”
After saying that, he ordered Zhao Yun and asked him to lead the troops to pursue, but Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Lord, General Zhao has fought many battles, this time he must be hungry in his stomach, and after eating first, it is not too late to chase!" ”

……
Hedong.
"Third General, how can you be so reckless!" Before Xu Shuren arrived, the voice had already sounded outside the house. Zhang Fei's own soldiers knew that he was with Zhang Fei, and they didn't dare to stop him, but they were all worried in their hearts, and they each sweated twice. was about to push the door in, but he heard an eager voice inside: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, when I finish this stroke, you have a grudge and a grudge!" ”
Zhang Fei in the room didn't raise his head, his wrist slowly slid his head, little by little, little by little, don't look at his rough appearance, the long hair in his hand is as steady as Mount Tai, swaying freely.
"Huh?" Xu Shu was stunned and eased down, and he didn't know why for a while, but he suddenly heard a thunderous laugh in the room: "It's done, it's done!" Damn, Yuan Zhi come in and have a look with me, hahaha! ”
Xu Shu let out a long sigh of helplessness, pushed the door in hard, and stomped his foot in a hurry: "Third general, the Wei family is the number one wealthy family in Hedong, you forced the Wei clan to death, wouldn't you be tired and infamous for the lord!" ”
Since Liu Feng left, Liu Bei saw that Xu Shu was shrewd and cautious, although he was young, he was a rare soldier, and Tian Feng also had a good eye for Xu Shu, so he asked him to come to Hedong to assist Zhang Fei and participate in the military aircraft. Zhang Fei did not refuse, talked with Xu Shu a few times, and was very satisfied with him, the two were of the same age, Xu Shu had killed people in the city, and later although he abandoned martial arts and became literate, in fact, there was also a chivalrous spirit in his bones, and the two got along very well. At this time, Zhang Fei alone had the final say in Hedong County, and the only one who could persuade him was this white-faced scholar Xu Shu.
Listening to Xu Shu's complaining words, Zhang Fei didn't seem to be listening, he wasn't annoyed at all, put down the brush in his hand, held the silk silk and took a careful breath, watching the light ink gradually dry, then nodded with satisfaction, smiled and held it in front of Xu Shu, and said like a treasure: "Yuan Zhi, look, how is it?" Hahaha! ”
"Three generals!" Xu Shu rolled his eyes, lowered his head and glanced at the silk, but couldn't help but gasp, but on the silk was a graceful and luxurious girl, with thin eyebrows and thin lips, apricot eyes with anger, and generous, and had a noble and auspicious attitude, I couldn't help but be stunned for a while, my eyes were straight, and I couldn't move it anymore.
"Hahaha!" Seeing Xu Shu like this, Zhang Fei laughed loudly, and said proudly, "How is it?" Yuan straight! ”
"This, whose woman is this?" Xu Shu's voice trembled a little, and he didn't know if he was praising Zhang Fei's painting skills or praising the woman in the painting, and he forgot the purpose of coming to Zhang Fei for a while.
"This is my wife, but I don't know who it is." Zhang Fei shook his head, and sighed helplessly, although his voice was rough, this remark actually had a bit of gloomy rhyme, staring at the snow outside the window, and he was a little more lonely for a while.
Xu Shu was surprised, looking at Zhang Fei's black and rough face, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of his words at all, shook his head, and gently put the silk painting back, but he didn't know where Zhang Fei met such a woman, and wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but he was also an older young man, but he didn't know where to start, and he froze for a while.
After a pause, Zhang Fei had already withdrawn his gaze, slapped his forehead with an iron palm, was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Yes, Yuan Zhi, you have something to look for me, what is the matter?" ”
"Huh?" Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had come to Zhang Fei to talk about something, how could he forget it, his heart was ruthless, and he was about to open his mouth to spit out Fang Cai's grievances, and the corners of his eyes swept over the girl on the silk painting, but the resentment was somehow turned into nothing, and he smiled bitterly, and said: "Who is this woman?" ”
Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Shu strangely, stretched out his hand and gently picked up the scroll, his eyes were full of admiration, but he shook his head: "If I know where she is from, how can I have so many troubles!" ”
"So, where did you see her?" Xu Shu's mind was full of thoughts, and they all turned to the woman on the silk painting, he had heard that the lord wanted to marry the three generals, but he repeatedly refused, and he didn't expect that it was for this woman!
Although I imagined how strange it was for the woman in the silk painting to be in the same place as Zhang Fei, I had to admit that it was the kind of woman in the silk painting, but it was no wonder that Zhang Fei wanted to miss her.
It's just that I didn't think that Xu Shu's words made Zhang Fei's black and thick face full of bright red, and his eyes drifted, but the overall situation was promoted, but he didn't dare to answer for a while.
Xu Shu is strange, even Zhang Fei, who kills people on the battlefield without blinking, has such a moment! But thinking about it again, didn't Zhang Fei's thick pu fan and big palm also draw such a woman on the silk painting, what's so strange? Dumbfounded for a while.
"Hey, Yuanzhi!" Seeing that Xu Shu understood and closed his mouth, Zhang Fei only said that he had some thoughts in his heart, but he was afraid that he would think about it wrongly, so he carefully put down the silk painting gently, walked over and hugged Xu Shu's shoulder, and was very embarrassed.
"Three generals, this? What's so hard about it? Isn't it ......" The more Zhang Fei was like this, the more curious Xu Shu became, and he couldn't help but ask again.
"No, no!" Zhang Fei was in a hurry, and he stopped hard, "Yuan Zhixiu is so crooked, this is the woman in my dreams, I have never met!" ”
"Huh?" Xu Shu's mouth opened in shock, "Dream, dream woman? ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Fei nodded seriously, stood suddenly, his eyes straightened, stared at Xu Shu, word by word, and said very solemnly: "Yuan Zhi, I have only told you about this matter, even the eldest brother, second brother and nephew, they don't know, you have to chew your tongue with me!" Ignoring Xu Shu's dumbfounded appearance, he gently covered it with a tulle, put away the silk painting carefully, took out a Nanmu box, put it in, and slowly closed it, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said to himself: "I sleep every day, and my eyes are reluctant to close......"
Xu Shu watched Zhang Fei put away the silk painting in a daze, and he didn't realize that he was already drenched in cold sweat and his underwear was wet, but he couldn't imagine that the three generals had such an unknown side!
After a long time, he breathed a long sigh of relief, suddenly woke up to the purpose of looking for Zhang Fei, stretched out his palm and patted his forehead, and moaned helplessly: "Third general, you have caused trouble for the lord!" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Fei turned his head, glanced at Xu Shu strangely, pursed his lips, and said disdainfully: "You said that the old ghost surnamed Wei?" ”
Xu Shu sighed helplessly: "Three generals, the lord has newly won the four counties of Luoyang, the foundation is not stable, the second Yuan and Dong Zhuo are besieged by separate roads, and they can't wait to eradicate the lord and the princess, but you have hated the Hedong Wei family at this time, isn't it ......?"
"What is the Hedong Wei family?" Zhang Fei snorted coldly and interrupted Xu Shu's words, "The Hedong Wei family is just a evil evil for the disaster, originally I couldn't care about him, but now that the eldest brother has entrusted Hedong to me, how can I let him be so arrogant again!" ”
"The Wei family has its own virtuous and unscrupulous people, why did the three generals put him together?" Xu Shu shook his head and painstakingly persuaded him, "I know that the reason why the second general left Hedong that day was because he had evil Wei Di, but since the second general didn't ask, he didn't bother to embarrass such a villain again. And ......"
"Whew!" The more Zhang Fei listened, the more displeased he became, and he interrupted Xu Shu's words again with a cold snort, and said, "I know that the Hedong Wei family has been a high-ranking family for generations, and it is deeply rooted, so what? When Gaozu entered the Guanzhong, he made three chapters with the father of Guanzhong, the murderer died, and the injured and the thief were guilty! There is a grudge to repay the grudge, there is a revenge to take revenge, it is justified, the second brother can let him go, but I will not let him go! ”
Xu Shu couldn't persuade him, so he stomped his foot helplessly, and said angrily: "The three generals said it well, now Yuan Shao is attacking my state, the son is injured, and the lord is far away in Luoyang, and he will return to the division in the near future, and the four counties of Luoyang will all depend on the three generals!" The three generals have made a feud with the Hedong Wei family, if the Hedong Wei family and Dong Zhuo are combined, and the Wei family has connections in Hedong, how will the general deal with him? This is not a big deal for the lord! ”
"Hahaha!" Zhang Fei laughed out loud without care, "Even if they come together, I'm not afraid!" ”
