The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yi people, on the water side.

The reed is the reed, the time of the hoarfrost is autumn, in the autumn, the reed flowers are in full bloom, but they are scattered in the wind, the reed pole is swaying, but it is bent but not broken, the sunset, the white canopy and yellow leaves, the end is the intoxicating state of mind.

However, the beautiful scenery is fleeting, as the autumn afterglow hides the last light, and the night falls, the common reeds on the land of Hebei become disgusting again...... The reed stalk looks soft, but once broken, the reed silk in it is terrifyingly sharp and tough, and it is easy to cut the skin; Moreover, under the fluffy reed flowers, it is simply a tidal flat, and after stepping on the cut foot, you will know whether it is a mud nest or a deep puddle underneath!

But then again, on the North China Plain, for the defeated army of Yuan's army, which had just experienced a rout, was there a better hiding place than the reed swing? And for the cavalry of General Wei, who couldn't finish capturing prisoners on the plains, why did they burrow into the dangerous reeds for one or two captives?

Not cost-effective!

"General Lu, there is no one on the embankment anymore!"

In the twilight, at a small river bay more than ten miles west of Liang Qi City, with a relieved sound on the embankment, the reeds under the embankment were instantly swayed.

In Russia, a military general who had lost his armor but still held a ring-headed sword led a full seventy or eighty embarrassed Yuan army deserters, and climbed the embankment from the fork of the Baigong Canal built by Bai Gong, the famous minister of Zhao in the past, with blood and mud, but carefully looked at it from all sides, and ordered the defeated soldiers to form a rough formation, and then turned around and took some warriors who still had weapons, and struggled to send the last few important people to the embankment.

Under the starlight, if someone looks closely, they will definitely recognize that the four core of these people are Yuan Shao, Fu Zhu, Xu You, and Guo Tu.

"Ming Gong!" Lu Xiang approached and saw that Yuan Shao's body was covered with mud, his robe, helmet, and armor were gone, and the short hair on his head was also half soaked in mud, but he couldn't help but be ashamed. "The subordinates are incompetent, and they have the trust of Chen Changshi, and they can't rush over for a few miles, but they are forced to be routed by the opposing cavalry......"

"I don't blame you!" Although Yuan Shao looked panicked, he seemed to have regained his senses when he heard the words at this time. "The army is all broken, everyone is fleeing for their lives, how can they easily rush through? Later, I was reluctant to abandon the car, and then I met my own nephew, which affected you...... I really didn't think that one day I would be expelled by Yang Xiu's kid in public, so that I threw away my helmet and abandoned the car and hid in the mud! ”

"The lord doesn't have to blame himself, and he doesn't have to blame Yang Gongzi." Next to him, Guo Tu supported Yuan Shao on the one hand, and earnestly faced each other on the other. "The lord was reluctant to abandon the car before because there was the corpse of General Wen in the car, and if the lord didn't abandon the car at the beginning, how could we each escape and gather to the side of the lord? Later, I was helpless to meet Yang Gongzi, because at that time, Yang Gongzi recognized the lord, and the rest of the white horse nobles from Chang'an on his side also recognized him...... Under the general trend, they have to chase a false story! ”

"I actually do." Yuan Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I don't blame him for this, but after throwing away his armor, this short hair became so conspicuous that the guard had to cut off his hair when he drove away under the guise of me, so why should it be counted on him? And I'm just feeling a little emotional...... This time fortunately, he avoided it, otherwise Gongsun Xun drove Yang's nephew to get Yuan's uncle, wouldn't it be ridiculous? ”

"Yuan Cheqi, is this the time to talk about this?" Xu You, who was also embarrassed, took off his boots and poured out the muddy and sewage in them, but he couldn't help but sit on the ground and scolded angrily. "Enough is going on today...... Taking advantage of the fact that there are no pursuers nearby, let's quickly return to Liang Period City! ”

Yuan Shao sighed and couldn't help but bow.

"Why should Ziyuan panic? Now, one step earlier may not be able to escape, and one step later may not be able to enter the city. "Unexpectedly, the left rib was bruised, and the rib may have been broken, but at this time, the frustration who could only hold on to the ribs and barely speak seemed unimpressed." And today, I have seen so many deaths, and in terms of what happened after death, why not sort it out a little? You must know that a gentleman can die without a crown,"

There was silence for a moment...... Although this is a bit unpleasant and unlucky, it is also a first-class truth, and the danger has not really been lifted at this time, once you leave this reed, on the flat ground, and encounter the enemy again, then no one can say what the result is.

In fact, even Xu Yu did not refute it...... He was just impatient with Yuan Shao and Guo Tu before, and deliberately vented.

In this way, everyone was silent and tidying up their clothes, and after a while, seeing that there was not much fire on the east road, the souls of the Yuan army finally stopped hesitating, gathered some remnants, supported each other and got up and hurried to the east.

But after walking for only a few miles, in the autumn wind, suddenly the ground trembled slightly, and then the horses' hooves were hurried in the twilight, and it was obvious that a group of enemy cavalry had deliberately left no torches and had made a special trip to the field to wait for their prey...... At this time, I found movement and came straight away!

And after a while, in the night wind, there was simply the excited words of the enemy general: "I knew that I would be able to make a profit here tonight!" You didn't believe it before? ”

Below Yuan Shao, everyone lost their color, but at this time, there was no armor, and there were not many first knives in the chain, and there was nothing to be done.

"I didn't expect that I, Yuan Shao, would be defeated and died!" Looking at the figure of the cavalry who was rumbling but not hurrying, Yuan Benchu was already desperate.

"Shut up! Submit! In the noisy sound of horses' hooves, Xu Ziyuan suddenly dragged Yuan Shao and said in a low voice. Don't be silent...... Coincidentally, this matter may still be possible! Lu Xiang hides him! ”

Yuan Shao was puzzled, but he was still forcibly pressed down by Lu Xiang next to him.

At the same time, Xu You actually went out of the battle directly and walked forward in a loud voice: "The front is my Xu Youluo's old general, General Wei Yue?!" ”

The other side was obviously stunned, but he couldn't help laughing, and then dismounted directly: "Is it Mr. Xu?" That's a big deal! ”

"What a fart!" Xu Yu continued to move forward and scolded rudely. "What credit did you have for capturing me? It's nothing more than a person who came to Gongsun Wenqi's side day and night, saying that you are greedy for money, lustful, rude, and useless......"

Wei Yue couldn't help laughing: "Why is Mr. Xu like this?" And if I take my husband back, the prince won't believe you......"

"It's not a matter of whether he believes me or not, but whether you are really not greedy for money and lustful, and does your prince know that you are greedy for money and lustful?" Xu You had already come to the other party's side as he spoke, but he stepped forward and directly held the other party's hand, and then lowered his voice. "Zidu, borrow a step to speak......"

Wei Yue didn't care, and directly ordered the troops to be on guard and not to move without permission, and then walked dozens of steps with the other party to avoid: "Mr. Ziyuan, please speak." ”

"Wei Zidu, you are indeed going to work hard today, and you have returned in vain...... Because I am a spy arranged by the prince and the prince on Yuan Shao's side, the Yuan clan is far from being cut off, and I can't return yet! You can go back and ask about it! ”

Wei Yue was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Ziyuan, is he deceiving me?" ”

"What if I lie to you?" Xu You asked with a sneer. "What if I don't cheat you?"

Wei Yue became more and more stunned, and even more at a loss.

"Let me ask you, with my friendship with Gongsun Wenqi, I am not his spy, and I can't go back with you tonight to have a position close to the staff or two thousand stones, right?" Xu Yu was not in a hurry, and asked a little with a smile.

"With the wisdom of Mr. and the friendship with the prince of my family, it is true." Wei Yue thought for a moment and simply admitted. "Otherwise, why would I be so polite to my husband?"

"Then let me ask you again, since there is a good result for you to go with you this time, why do I want you to let me go and let me return to the Liang period?" Xu You continued to ask calmly.

"I don't know." Wei Yue laughed dryly for a while. "I'm a martial artist, the only thing I can use is to make meritorious service right away, where do I understand Mr.'s thoughts?"

"You will understand, because you and I are connected." Xu You glanced back at the team behind him, and then said with a sneer. "It's a simple matter...... Think about it, I offended Dong Gongren and others before, but I was in Yuan Shao's array, so whether it was a spy or not, at this time, there was only friendship and no merit. And if so, how can I gain a foothold on Gongsun Wenqi's side? I'm afraid I'm going to be ostracized by that time......"

Wei Yue suddenly thought for a moment: "Sir's words are reasonable. ”

"It's natural and reasonable, because so is you, Wei Zidu...... I just said that you are greedy for money and lustful, is it fake? When you drank together in Luoyang Yuan's mansion, didn't you say it yourself, saying that you didn't invite Lu Ziheng to see you? Your prince and marquis also look at you all day long, even so, if you want to gain a foothold on Gongsun Wenqi's side in the future, you must also have more military merits......"

Wei Yue sighed slightly, unable to refute it.

"That's it!" Seeing this, Xu Yu said earnestly. "I won't hide it from you Wei Zidu today, in fact, there is only a tacit understanding between me and General Wei, and there is no real spy covenant...... It is precisely because of this that I want to return to Yuan Shao's side and ask for miraculous achievements! And if you can help me today, you will benefit you in the future......"

"Things in the future ......" Wei Yue couldn't help but bow his head and laugh.

"It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but you actually have a huge military exploit today, what extra reward is there for catching me extra?" Xu You asked rhetorically. "After all, I don't worry about my future, and you are only doing a futile evil to tie me up today...... On the contrary, when I return to the Liang period this time, I will take advantage of this defeat to gain Yuan Shaoxin's trust, and it is the right way to have more military achievements with you on the battlefield in the future! ”

Wei Yue's heart moved slightly.

"Zidu, you and I are both aliens, in the future, Gongsun Wenqi will become a big event, we want to stand on his side, we should take care of each other." At this point, Xu You lowered his voice again. "Actually, I don't want to...... If you can't take advantage of the chaos in the world to make more merits and get more rewards, then the world will be peaceful in the future, what do you have to rely on to continue to maintain today's status? ”

Wei Yue was speechless.

"That's it!" Xu You held the other party's gloved hand with both hands. "Let me go today...... Go back and tell General Wei that I want to be his spy, and he will definitely not blame you, but will take this as your credit! ”

Wei Yue raised his head and sighed, but he lowered his head and took off the pair of leaky finger gloves that were prevalent in Liaodong in his hand, and directly faced the other party's palm: "Mr. Ziyuan, we are sure to take care of me in the future...... Don't go east, there are still some people in the east who hunt enemy troops in the field like me, and most of them are Xu Bojin's subordinates, so Mr. may not be able to speak...... Go south, go to Yecheng, or bypass from the south and go to Liang. ”

Xu Yu thanked again and again.

And a moment later, Wei Yue also returned to the front of the encirclement, but he directly ordered the net to open up to the more than 100 horsemen who followed this time: "Mr. Ziyuan is a close friend of the prince and the marquis, and some of you should know it...... After I go back today, I will report to the prince, don't ask, just treat it as if you haven't seen it, just return to the camp with me! ”

"Zidu Gaoyi!" Xu You had also returned to Yuan Shao's side in the rout, but he raised his voice to each other, and then shouted again, not knowing who to order. "Don't ask, just go south!"

Since Yuan Shao and below, how could he dare to ask, he just bowed his head one after another.

Wei Yue's cavalry looked at each other, but since the boss had an order on the battlefield, he could only dodge, not to mention that the horse had no night grass and no fat, and he made a special trip to take advantage of the big victory to get extra capture...... Since the net was open, Yuan's army did not dare to hesitate, and they all took the opportunity to rush south.

But just when Guo Tu was supporting Yuan Shao, hiding in the middle of the rout, and quickly bowed his head and walked south, among the cavalry belonging to Gongsun Xun who was about to return to the camp, someone directly lit a torch, and by the light of the fire, others were down, Wei Yue was attracted by the crown on Guo Tu's head, and swept it slightly, but he was a little stunned.

"Zidu!" Seeing this, Xu Ziyuan was desperate, and directly shouted at each other, attracting the other party to turn his head. "There is a parting word...... General Wei's sweeping of the world has become a trend, but if there is no war in the future, how can you be a martial artist? In the past few years, you must work hard to last a long time! ”

It may be that he only noticed Guo Tu, Wei Yue didn't care, and Xu Yu reminded him again, so he was just silent for a while, and didn't react anymore, but waited for the other party and his party to disappear into the twilight, and simply ordered the department to hold torches and slowly return north to the Handan camp.

On the other side, Yuan Shao and his entourage escaped death and traveled south in a panic, but they were preparing to make a detour to Liang period...... It's not that he can't go to Yecheng, but if Yuan Shao doesn't go to the Liang period, then Gongsun Xun will go to the Liang period tomorrow, maybe Yuan Jun will directly lose the city in panic. And in that case, not to mention the loss of the outer defense line, just the loss of military rations and military supplies hoarded in the city, as well as most of the defeated and retreated defeated troops, it would be a fatal blow to Yuan Shao.

At that time, even if Yuan Benchu had the land of the nineteen counties empty, and the whole line was weak, he could only flee with his hands tied. Obviously, Yuan Shao did not mean to admit defeat after a battle.

However, providence is clear...... After about half an hour after traveling south, suddenly, I don't know if Wei Yue regretted it, or if someone noticed the movement of this pedestrian, the north direction was full of firelight and iron hooves, as if there was a small group of cavalry galloping forward.

Of course, this time Yuan Shao and the others were much more calm, because since they turned south, they were specially following a tributary of Fushui to the south, and they carefully explored the hiding places along the way...... There is really nowhere else to hide from this terrain.

Dozens of horsemen galloped towards them, obviously not Wei Yue's department, and the crowd crossed the place where Yuan Shao and the others were hiding, turned back again, and then turned back again, scattered among the fields. Obviously, they should have noticed something from afar, or simply found some traces, confirmed the existence of such a group, but did not find a specific hiding place, so they would continue to go back and forth to check the target.

Soon, these apparently not stupid cavalrymen gathered on the embankment and took a brief look at the reedy swing area that was two or three miles long in front of them.

"Why didn't they come down and check?" In a reed bush hundreds of steps away, Lu Xiang, who was next to Yuan Shao's side, had already grasped the handle of the knife, but he was unable to understand the situation for a while.

"Because it's not necessary." On the other side of Yuan Shao, Guo Tu glanced at the surrounding situation, but sighed faintly. "They can set fires...... Let's come out on our own! ”

"Then why is Master Guo still so calm?" Lu Xiang was flustered, only to feel that the performance of the few scribes around him and Yuan Shao was simply incredible.

"Why can't you calm down?" Guo Tu said disapprerovingly. "Regardless of whether the person who came was a subordinate of the previous 'General Wei Yue', isn't there 'Mr. Ziyuan'? Let's hide here. ”

Lu Xiang was still at a loss, but Yuan Shao between the two couldn't help but bow his head in shame for a while.

"Listen to the Yuan thief in the reeds, my Sima is Xu Xing in Liaodong, who has been with General Wei for a long time, and is now the military Sima in charge of military law in General Changqi's department, and he has always been trustworthy...... The blood stains on the embankment are so obvious, we know that some of you must be wounded, so if you wait for yourself to come out on the embankment, whether you fight or surrender, you will not involve the wounded! And if you ignore it, after three times, you will have to set fire to the pond! This is the first time! As he spoke, a knight with a torch and a declaring along the embankment was endless.

Of course, under the embankment, Xu You also sighed helplessly, ready to get up to deal with it, and even had the psychological preparation to go to Gongsun Xun's camp with the other party.

At this time, Lu Xiang woke up...... Since he is hiding here, Xu You can come forward to deal with it alone, and when the other party sees Xu You, he is satisfied that he never imagined that there are so many important people below, that is, he found out, Xu Ziyuan can also lightly say 'Most of the soldiers are innocent in Yanzhou, please be released', at that time, as long as these soldiers who accompanied them do not jump out to report, Yuan Shao and others can still hide it.

Moreover, considering that these soldiers are all Tiger Guards on Yuan Shao's side, and they will not abandon this today, I don't think they will come to this point to make such a traitorous move.

However, just as Xu Ziyuan was wading in the water and preparing to go out, a person suddenly reached out and grabbed him halfway, Xu You looked back, and saw that it was frustration, and he couldn't help but wonder for a while.

"Wait a minute." Holding his ribs, half of his body immersed in the water was depressed and his voice was lowered. "When I got out of the large army and entered the reeds in the afternoon, there were no wounded, and there was no problem with the march just now......"

As soon as Xu You's heart moved, he couldn't help but bow his head, and leaned over to his side again, waiting for a while.

A moment later, on the embankment, Xu Xing's subordinates shouted again, and without waiting for Xu You to think about it more, someone suddenly roared out in the night in the reeds: "You wait for the Liaodong barbarians to deceive people too much!" I'm just worried that there are quite a few wounded among the villagers, and it's inconvenient to fight, so I really think we're afraid of you? ”

Immediately, at the other end of this reed, close to those knights, dozens of warriors who did not abandon their soldiers poured out, and after a little preparation, they simply charged directly from the river embankment towards the dozens of horsemen!

Not to mention how Yuan Shao and others under the embankment were surprised, on the embankment, Xu Rong's younger brother, Xu Xing, the military Sima from Bai Ma Yi, was also not angry but happy.

In other words, Xu Xing's trip was related to Wei Yue, but it had nothing to do with Yuan Shao and his party...... In fact, he first set up an ambush a few miles west of Liang Period City to the east of Wei Yue, and then saw Wei Yue and others in the west returning to the camp with fire, and he knew that he would inevitably startle the snake, and the east of Liang Period City may have no gain, but he was unwilling to turn back, so he simply went south to intercept it, first vaguely aware that there might be someone in front of him, and then noticed the reeds, and finally noticed the blood stains on the river embankment.

In short, when this person encountered the enemy at this time, he only felt that the trip was in vain, so he naturally excitedly ordered to fight.

On the one hand, there are the routs who left the battlefield and hid in the reeds after the defeat, and on the other hand, the pursuers who patrolled the periphery after the victory and tried to clear the meritorious service; On one side are the foot soldiers who have lost their armor and have only weapons, and on the other side are the cavalry with complete armor and complete formation; On one side is the ordinary part, and on the other side is the military judge's attendant...... It stands to reason that there should be a clear distinction between victory and defeat, otherwise how could these cavalrymen see this kind of recourse as hunting?

In fact, as soon as the two sides joined the battle, the cavalry with horsepower instantly gained the advantage, and many foot soldiers on the opposite side fell directly down the river embankment in embarrassment in order to avoid the horses, and more people were simply stabbed and stabbed to death by spears.

However, between this group of foot soldiers, there is a giant man with a big shield on his back is particularly conspicuous, his person stood in the middle of the river embankment before, not in a hurry, after taking off the shield to meet the battle, it is even more in one hand with a shield, one hand in the other hand more than a person high iron halberd, facing dozens of cavalry in the reverse straight forward, and then in the chaotic battle with the shield side block to slow down the momentum of the horse, with the iron halberd swing, sweeping the people on the horse.

It may be that these cavalry are too arrogant, after a charge, those foot soldiers are defeated, but this giant man actually killed several horsemen with a shield and a halberd, and stood alone on the battlefield.

Xu Xing was behind, and when he saw that he was close to the attendant and capsized in the so-called reeds, he couldn't help but be angry, plus today's big victory, and his arrogance surged up for a while, and he actually patted his horse forward.

Seeing this, the surrounding knights did not dare to slack off, and dozens of cavalrymen who had already charged over immediately relied on the height advantage of their war horses to drive away the rest of the enemy's foot soldiers, reserve the battlefield, and raise torches to illuminate them, while the two ironclad guards who had been guarding their sides followed Xu Xing closely to provide support!

And the giant man was still not afraid, his man stood on the river embankment, with a shield in one hand and a halberd in the other, and he actually wanted to face the three horsemen again!

This made Xu Xing and the three of them more and more sneered and angry, and they also accelerated at a gallop.

In front of him, the two horsemen suddenly accelerated and arrived first, and the left and right spears were drawn together, and the tacit understanding was ...... One high and one low, the higher one stabbed down from the shield in an attempt to stab the person with his horsepower, and the lower one leaned out from the side, trying to catch the moment he crossed the shield and stabbed the person from under the shield.

The intersection of two killing moves, it is easy to dodge one of them, but it is difficult to dodge two, not to mention that there is still a Xu Xing with outstanding martial arts behind these two riders.

However, this giant man was not in a hurry, on the one hand, he was short and lowered his center of gravity, but on the other hand, he suddenly raised his shield high, and directly met the two spears with a big shield!

The contradictions intersected, and the horses galloped with great strength, and the two cavalrymen only felt that there was a huge force coming from the spear, and the wrists were almost frustrated, as if they were dislocated, but they quickly let go under instinct...... In fact, this is the usual way for cavalry to be injured when they sprint, and I don't know how many knights have to be reduced by this injury in every battle.

However, in any case, the cavalry will certainly break their wrists because of this, but relatively speaking, the foot soldiers who collide head-on and instantly bear this force are not far behind, let alone those who take the initiative to meet them with their shields.

However, since the two horsemen lost control and lost their long soldiers, and each of them bruised their wrists, they were stunned to find that the giant man was the second alone, and he didn't have the slightest intention of being frustrated! Not only that, after the two spears were opened, between the lightning and the fire, taking advantage of the moment when the two horses lost their combat effectiveness, they swung their shields and smashed them to the right side, while holding the iron halberd behind them and turned around and pulled to the left...... In other words, his body is huge, but he is extremely flexible, and he can easily jump in the air while bearing the huge force of the war horse, and counterattack on both sides on the left and right!

On the embankment, the knight on the right was slapped from behind by a large shield, and rolled down the embankment with men, horses, and shields, not knowing whether he was alive or dead; The left rider is more direct, the iron halberd is coming, and when he is pulled out of the horse, he simply hangs on the iron halberd branch, as if he is dead and can no longer die.

Xu Xing was furious, the horse was unabated, he rushed forward directly, stabbed hard, the giant man had already lost his shield, but despite the fact that there was still a person hanging on the iron halberd, he directly held the halberd upside down and blocked it with the halberd handle! However, Xu Xing's riding skills were excellent, and when he came to the opponent's body, when the spear was vigorously swung away by the opponent's halberd handle, he actually exerted force on his legs and forcibly controlled the war horse.

The white steed from outside the plug was restrained for a moment, and could only raise its front hooves with all its might, and then slammed down with all its body weight.

The giant man didn't have time to lift his halberd, so he could only dodge in embarrassment.

This is exactly what Xu Xing wanted, he had already pulled out the ring head knife from his waist when the war horse was still in the air. However, this giant man seems to know the severity, since he is already bare-handed, and he is on the opponent's side, there is no way to hide, but he simply clenched his fist with one hand and smashed it towards the eye socket of the war horse in front of him!

In the stunned eyes of the cavalry holding torches in the distance, and also in the stunned eyes of Yuan Shao and others who saw the general situation of this battle from a distance, the northland horse was actually knocked down by this giant man with a punch, and there was no neighing at all, as if he was killed on the spot!

Then, the giant man dragged Xu Xing, who had broken a leg, out from under his horse, but he didn't do anything, but shouted at the dozens of cavalry on the other side of the embankment: "I don't hide it from you, I do have many villagers injured and are hiding in the reeds, and you have just killed and injured many of my villagers, and you should have taken revenge after the battle has come to this point, but you Sima and the person under the embankment are probably equally seriously injured, what's the point of continuing to fight?" If you want me to say, there are enough people who died today, don't set fire, I won't kill this person, let's exchange injuries for injuries, and retreat, how about it?! ”

Xu Xing was dragged by his armor and broke one leg, so he could only endure the pain and reluctantly say: "My military law is strict, I am the military commander, you have to tell me, what's the use of telling them?" ”

Only then did the giant man wake up, but he carefully placed the person in his hand on the white horse corpse, and then continued to ask: "Can you call the shots, maybe you should answer me?!" ”

"Can't!" Xu Xing leaned against the horse's corpse, panting and simply replied. "There are clear laws in the army...... If the commander is kidnapped, he is not allowed to answer, and he can only fight hard regardless of life and death! ”

"What a reason you are!" The giant man was furious. "You have horses and bows, I'm not afraid that you will disobey, but you shouldn't?!"

"I'm a military horse, how can I break the law?!" Xu Xing sneered. "And my word is Zixin...... How could he break his promise and temporarily coax you to steal his life? Although I am not as brave as you, am I afraid of death? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Xingfu struggled to order his subordinates who were stunned in the distance: "This person is brave, not close combat...... Taking advantage of the cavalry, they shot me with a bow and crossbow...... but the wounded in the reeds, which can be spared...... If you surrender, you can ...... with a few of them."

Before he finished saying this, Dian Wei, who came to his senses, slapped him, and Xu Xing finally couldn't support it, and leaned his head on top of the horse corpse...... It was as if he had been beaten and the fracture on his leg was extremely painful, so he fainted.

The giant man became more and more weak, he picked up the iron halberd and wanted to finish off this person, but he thought that this person had clearly spared the wounded villagers in the reeds, and there was no good intention after killing this person, so he couldn't do it for a while.

However, he was not the only one who could not start, the rest of the knights who had already defeated the foot soldiers over there were originally looking at each other, at this time, seeing him slap him first, and then carry the iron halberd in his hand, but an officer stepped forward with a spear and said: "Don't do it, just follow your words...... You return my Sima, and we will let your villagers go, while my Sima is still in a coma, and leave quickly. ”

Only then did the giant turn his anger into joy.

"But you have to say your name, and I'll see you again in the future, and I'll settle today's grudges!" The officer was solemn and solemn. "I also have an explanation for my family's Sima."

"Why should I be afraid of you?" The giant man was also awe-inspiring. "Chen Liuji, Wu Dian Wei is!"

"It's you!" The officer was relieved when he heard the other party's name. "I've heard your name, you also fought hard to rush into the city of Handan to recapture your family's Sima corpse, and the name in the army is said to be the first ...... in Yanzhou. It's well deserved! ”

The giant man shook his head gloomily: "What about the first in Yanzhou?" If it is only the strength of one person, I ask myself if I am not afraid of the people of the world, but 100,000 people, between victory and defeat, death and injury are everywhere, I have spare strength, but I can't save many people, Zhao Sima was like this before, and many robes are like this today, but just now I have less I don't know how many familiar villagers...... Wait for a horse, quickly take your Sima back to the camp to treat his injuries! I also want to take the injured villagers back to Chenliu, the road is far away, I don't know how many people will survive after I go back? ”

The officer said no more, and on the one hand asked people to go down the embankment to find the one who had been photographed in the river, and on the other hand ordered to clean up the robes of several soldiers who died on the battlefield, and then he was afraid again, turned over and dismounted, and personally led the horse forward to save his own Sima.

And Dian Wei did not embarrass the other party, but helped the other party to easily lift Xu Xing onto the war horse, and then took his halberd to gather his own villagers.

A moment later, probably worried that his own Sima would wake up and make a mistake, the group of cavalry hurried away with the wounded and corpses. However, Dian Wei had too many seriously injured and corpses on his side who could not move, and it took a long time just to sort out and count them...... Moreover, they still have too few people, only a dozen people can still move, and almost all of them are injured, not to mention taking the corpses and leaving like the other party, but many of the wounded are a little weak. However, everyone was familiar with the villagers, and everyone understood that without Dian Wei, they were destined to be eaten only by wild dogs on the roadside, so they cried and begged again, asking Dian Wei Mo to throw them down.

Dian Wei worked hard for a long time, but he couldn't deploy it properly, and in the end he could only sit on the embankment, becoming more and more overwhelmed...... He remembered that if he had surrendered at the beginning, he might not have had to suffer so many more casualties, but he regretted it even more.

Under the embankment, Yuan Shao wanted to get up for a while, but was stopped by Guo Tu on his side and Xu Yu not far away.

Sure enough, a moment later, the number of horsemen returned, but it was the officer who had led the people back before...... It was said that Xu Xin woke up and knew the situation, and then remembered what he had said before, and made the decision to give them the horses and camel back the wounded...... With that, half of the knights dismounted, and then they rode together, and then they turned back.

And when these knights left for the second time, Xu Ziyuan helped the already painful and speechless frustration to get up, and then dozens of people went up the river embankment together, which naturally attracted the attention of Dian Wei and others.

Yuan Shao couldn't wait and immediately wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Guo Tu and Lu Xiang together, but Xu Yu stepped forward alone to negotiate: "General Dian! ”

"I'm just a song long elected by the villagers, and I can't be a general!" Dian Wei watched vigilantly. "Who are you?"

"Zai Xia is the defeated general who commands the left flank of the whole army today, if you are Chen Liuren, you should know Zaixia's name, because you are under the command of the contemptible people at that time...... Contemptible Nanyang Xu Yu is also! ”

"The number one person who is greedy for money in Sanzhou, your family has embezzled a lot of goods in Yanzhou, and everyone in the army knows about it, and today it was quickly defeated, how can I not know?"

"I'll make a long story short......," Xu Yu was silent for a moment before continuing. Just now I hid in the reeds, and I saw with my own eyes that I killed the horse with a single fist, and I was very brave...... With such courage at the feet, can you escort the group into Liang Period City? If you go to the city, you will be rewarded. ”

"At this point, I just want to send the villagers home, otherwise I would have retreated to the city long ago...... Do you want to use the money? ”

"I know you don't want to ......," Xu Yu said, pointing behind him. Let's trade fairly, you escort me into the city, and we will take you, the injured villagers, back to the city for medical treatment! How is it? ”

"Not only that, but after being cured, you must allow us to return home." Dian Wei thought about it for a while, discussed it with a few villagers, and put forward another condition. "You and that Yuan Che are too incompetent to fight, and with you, no matter how many people there are in my country, I can't help but die......"

Xu You was silent for a while, and behind him, Guo Tu, who was about to step forward, was also a little speechless.

"Promise him!" After a long time, Yuan Shao suddenly spoke. "There are such warriors in the army, I didn't even know about it today...... At this point, what kind of face do you have to make people work for me again? ”

Dian Wei looked at the short hair on the other party's head in amazement, and was shocked, but with Xu You's promise, coupled with the continuous wailing of the wounded soldiers behind him, the two groups of defeated soldiers hiding in the same reeds merged into one, and then hurried to the city of Liang Period.

At this time, the night was already dark, maybe it was because the Northland knights who had 'hunted' before had returned, or maybe it was because after the arrival of Dian Wei, everyone had a sense of stability in their hearts, so even if they brought many wounded, they were able to march in a straight line without any scruples...... In short, in the second half of the night, Yuan Shao finally returned to the city with hard work.

The troops left behind in the city, as well as the generals and staff members who escaped this battle, led by Xin Ping, wept and greeted each other one after another.

However, Yuan Shao, who was usually extremely heavy-looking, was covered in blood and mud at this time, sitting in the lobby, facing the howling of the hall, but his face did not change...... Soon, these people also carefully stopped grieving.

"How many people have fled?" Yuan Shao didn't pay attention to the minced meat and hot soup served by the attendant at all, and just asked each other.

"Forty or fifty thousand." Xin Ping stopped his grief and hurriedly answered. "And I heard that General Ju Yi led the crowd to the east, thinking that he was stopped by cavalry like this, and there were some people who had to flee from both wings, maybe within two or three days, Yecheng behind him and Wushicheng on the flanks will also gather some soldiers and horses, I will discuss with the generals, I am afraid that in the end I can regather sixty or seventy thousand troops...... After all, this battle was only less than half a day, and the distance was too close, and the opponent could kill and land with all his might, and it was impossible to kill too many injuries. Of course, many of the people who fled back were wounded, even if they were not injured, it was impossible to fight again immediately, and they still needed to prepare for a few days, so it can only be said that fortunately there are city defenses and fortified villages......"

"I know." Yuan Shao is still so calm that it makes people feel uncomfortable. "The defense of the city and the defense of the camp outside the city have not happened, right?"

"Nope!"

"Where are the grain, medicinal herbs, and military quarters in the city? Have the defeated and wounded been properly accommodated? ”

"Ming Gong rest assured."

"If this battle is lost, the surrounding cities will inevitably be in turmoil...... Yecheng, Wushi, and Pingyang all had to send some capable soldiers to support and pacify as soon as possible, so as to prevent the Liang period from becoming an isolated city. ”

"Yes!"

At this point, Yuan Shao finally took a long breath, but he was silent for a while, and after a while, his person asked in a slight trembling voice:

"Is Chen Gongtai back?"

"Someone in the army saw with their own eyes that he drove north without a crown! Then someone saw him being stopped by several cavalrymen of the opposing side, first firing arrows and then stabbing him to death with spears. Xin Ping replied cautiously, and the person glanced at the frustrated professor who was sitting on the side and was gasping for breath, but added. The son of General Fu, Fu Hu, was also seen with his own eyes, and was beheaded by a white horse general, and his head was specially cut off. ”

The hall was silent, but Yuan Shao continued to maintain a strange calm: "The defeat in this battle is my incompetence...... You don't need to say much, and you don't have to say much...... Secondly, it was Chen Gongtai who prepared for this battle with the general shogunate, which was a slight mistake, but he has now forgiven his sins with a death...... So now is not the time to fight for responsibility, but I want you to tell me, what should I do next? ”

"The subordinates thought that there was nothing else to do next." Frustrated, his eyes were red, but he pressed his ribs with his hands, trying to face each other. "It's nothing more than taking the camp step by step, the walled cities are connected, and taking advantage of the dense cities of Wei County behind you, it is just a matter of defending it......"

From Yuan Shao onwards, almost everyone agreed.

And Xin Ping continued: "Not only that, I thought it would be inappropriate to want to fight with Gongsun Wenqi again after this battle...... In the next few years, before we catch our breath, we can only use the wealth, food, and population of Yanzhou and Qingzhou as the backing, and build more walled cities in Hebei, step by step! In fact, I have mentioned this strategy before, if it is really consumed like this, although Gongsun Xun's army is strong, but the logistics are hard, it may not consume more energy than us! ”

Again, no one has refuted this statement.

And Yuan Shao thought about it for a while, but he was still calm and relative: "Zhongzhi's words are right, anyway, the next half autumn and winter will always be observed...... Since Gongtai has passed away, and you were left behind, you will be in charge of this matter and coordinate the defense! ”

Xin Ping was just about to respond, but at this moment, Lu Xiang, the general of Yanzhou who had worked hard to escort Yuan Shao back, suddenly stepped forward: "Ming Gong, Xin Ping can't be this important task!" ”

Xin Zhongzhi was stunned on the spot.

And Yuan Shao was still not happy or angry: "Today you turned around to invite Chen Gongtai, I think Chen Gongtai has a last word, otherwise why is this?" ”

"Yes!" Lu Xiang gritted his teeth and said hard. Chen Changshi said it before he died...... Major events can be entrusted to Gonghe, Xu Ziyuan and others, as for Xin Ping, Guo Tu, Xun Kan and other Yingchuan people, they must not be entrusted with great responsibilities! ”

Xun Kan was nowhere to be seen at this time, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, Xin Ping and Guo Tu both had red faces, but they knew the weight of Chen Gong's words before he died, so he didn't dare to refute them.

However, Xin commented on his younger brother, and the younger Xin Bi couldn't help but ask Lu Xiang rhetorically: "Is it that our Yingchuan people come to take charge of the general shogunate, and you Yanzhou people are going to rebel?" ”

"Chen Changshi's last words are like this, you and others are forceful, we just don't accept it, how can we talk about rebellion!" In place of Lu Xiang, the person who replied was Sima Xuefang, who was born in Yanzhou Dahao, and his identity has always been low, but no one can underestimate his words at this time.

Sure enough, Xin Bi was about to say more, but he was directly kicked by his brother to the crook of his leg, and then knelt down in the hall with a plop...... Even if there is, the overall situation is here, and I will never stretch out my hand again! Only the defense of the Liang period is my own strength, the enemy is in front, and I ask my subordinates to block General Wei for Ming Gong for a while, and then gradually hand over Xu Ziyuan and Fu Gong and the two pillars of talent! ”

"Don't worry, everyone in the army knows that I am greedy for money, and I can't do anything about this general shogunate!" Xu Yu looked at each other coldly.

And Yuan Shao thought for a moment, but looked coldly at Lu Xiang, who kept his hand on his side: "General Lu, did Gongtai say that Feng Yuantu was not allowed to take power?" ”

"I didn't mention it, but isn't Fengjun in Anping?" Lu Xiang was flustered for a moment.

"After surviving this winter, let him come back, and now let him take this position." Yuan Shao was still calm and uncomfortable. "Nakaji should also get up...... You also know that the enemy is at present, do you want me to help you? ”

Xin Ping hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, and then hurriedly dragged his brother to get up together.

The scene fell silent again for a while, and Guo Tu was irritable in his heart, but he remembered something again, so he hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord, there is still something to do...... This battle was defeated too quickly, and even a martial artist like Dian Wei could only walk away in embarrassment, not to mention others? If you look at it from below, there must be many people on the battlefield who were only captured by exhaustion, and there are also many people who cannot return to the team among the scattered soldiers around them...... He also asked the lord to pardon the fugitive while sending an envoy to see Gongsun Xun. After all, although he will definitely not return the soldiers, a few generals and staff should try their best to rescue one or two, and the corpses of our soldiers who died in battle......"

"That's right, it's up to you." Yuan Shao suddenly bowed his head, but looked around and asked. "In this case, before Gongsun Xun comes to the city tomorrow, is there anything else that must be done?"

Everyone looked at each other, and they were speechless again.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao also lowered his head again, and after an unknown amount of time, he picked up the hot soup on the table in front of him, poured a few sips, sighed again, and suddenly laughed under the gaze of the embarrassed civil and military forces.

Yuan Benchu laughed out loud, and the louder the laughter, the surrounding civil and military forces were either silent, or cold-eyed, or stunned on the spot, or looked carefully...... But no one spoke.

After waiting for a long time, Guo Tu suddenly woke up and took the initiative to speak: "The lord's spirit is extraordinary...... In fact, it is true, although our army was defeated, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, and the lord is in danger today, and he has turned danger into danger several times, and he must have a destiny in his body......"

"Fart!" Xu You finally couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded in public with a black face.

"Don't make any noise!" Yuan Shao smiled and leaned on a few cases. "Ziyuan is not angry, the defeat is like this, why am I not ashamed of this? And the public rule is also hard, I know that you also want to boost morale, it is a good intention...... And when I laugh this time, I'm just laughing at myself! Laugh at me for not being self-aware, laughing at me for being so arrogant...... However, this is not the first time that soldiers have been lost because of this! On the Hanoi side that day, I despised Jia Xu and Lu Bu, but what was the result? General Yan Liang died, General Chun Yuqiong was defeated, and General Han Juzi was crippled...... Gentlemen, you say, if the contemptible people did not have these problems in the first place, and if the generals are all here today, then why should they be defeated in this position? ”

Rao is everyone had their own thoughts before, and at this time, they couldn't help but show sadness on their faces when they heard the words.

"Forget it, you are either fighting for a bloody day, or you are still injured, such as the frustrated monarch who still has the pain of losing his son...... In short, Zhongzhi arranged for everyone to go back first, take a bath, and then use some hot soup, so let's rest early! I don't know what will happen tomorrow! Yuan Shao laughed for a while, probably thinking that it was ridiculous to the point that he didn't need to laugh anymore, so he suddenly stopped and simply withdrew from everyone.

In this way, everyone said goodbye one after another, and Yuan Shao also went to the back room with the support of the attendants, where Mrs. Liu had already taken several concubines, prepared wooden barrels, hot water, and new clothes, and prepared to bathe and change clothes for him in person.

In other words, seeing her husband who is so lofty on weekdays, Mrs. Liu helped the other party undress while crying.

"It's just a mess, not hurt." Yuan Shaofu laughed again. "Why is this the beloved wife? If you are like this, if you are spread by your subordinates, it will shake the hearts of the soldiers in the city. ”

Mrs. Liu is a step-family, far younger than Yuan Shao, and she is young and beautiful, has children, and is the wife of the main room, so she is arrogant on weekdays, but when she heard the words at this time, she didn't dare to cry anymore, but she just tried her best to help the other party undress.

However, after untying the outer robe full of sludge and blood stains, removing the waist armor that he had forgotten to remove when he first entered the reeds, and then taking off the middle coat that was half muddy and bloodstained, he looked at his husband's underwear and still had stains and blood stains, especially an obvious blood stain on his right arm, which spread from the cuff to the forearm, and inevitably frightened again, hiding his face and crying!

"Madam, don't worry, the fool is really not injured, this must be stained with other people's blood." Yuan Shao continued to chuckle comfortingly.

Mrs. Liu regained her heart again, and then hurriedly took off the little dress in person.

However, I don't know why, the person untied the belt and reached out to uncover it, but he couldn't take it off for a while! When I looked again, I realized that it was my husband who stretched out his hand and pressed it on the shoulder of this close-fitting silk coat with stains and blood stains, unwilling to let go.

Mrs. Liu was puzzled.

At this point, Yuan Shao finally stopped laughing, but slowly said to his wife: "Madam, I just remembered that this is the blood of General Wen, he was the first person to die for me today, but because I wanted to flee for my life, even the corpse capital was abandoned by me on the battlefield and disappeared, how can this last trace of blood be easily removed?!" ”

After that, he finally couldn't help himself, choked up for a while, and cried like rain all night.

————I'm the dividing line that doesn't stop crying and doesn't owe anything————

"When the two armies are divided between Handan and Liang, they will fight a decisive battle, so they will not return to the battle, and they will invite the division. Taizu sent a horse to ride Sima Zhao Yunying, Yun Yong slightly three armies, dozens of together, picked under the horse, will be beheaded, ugly legs are wasted, but one arm in front of the battle. The three armies are solemn, and the clouds are fierce with each other, and they do not take the head but return to the front of the battle. Shao also moved his body to the car, and the blood gushed non-stop, soaking into his clothes. And the matter was decided, Shao returned to the city after defeat, changed clothes left and right, as for the small clothes, he still saw blood stains, Shao suddenly realized: 'This article will be the blood of the general, don't go. After that, tears fell like rain, and weeping could not be stopped. - "New Yanshu". The first in the family

By the way, the reasonable party must not say that Wei Yue is unreasonable to let go of so-and-so, this foreshadowing has been buried for a long time...... And there is a historical prototype for this matter...... The two northern powers are fighting, one side will win, a certain general is about to capture the other party's boss, the big guy turned around and persuaded him, arrest me today, your boss has unified the north, and you will no longer be able to brush up on the merits...... As a result, that guy directly released a certain Emperor Taizuwen...... Put.
