Tai Shici and Wang Lei returned to the big tent of the Chinese army one after the other. Several soldiers walked in and helped Tai Shici carry his things. After Wang Lei came to the camp, the big tent of the Chinese army was requisitioned by Wang Lei, and Tai Shici re-chose a place to live.

The soldiers carried bundles of bamboo slips and the rest of the utensils to Tai Shi Cixin's camp. Coming to the new camp tent, after the soldiers put aside the bamboo slips and the rest of the belongings, Tai Shici waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go down." ”

"General, this is our duty."

One of the soldiers clenched his fists and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

With that, he left with the rest of the soldiers.

Tai Shi Ci looked at the departing soldiers, chuckled and said, "Don't call the general in the future, just call it by name." I am now unofficial and no longer hold any position. ”

The soldier who was walking out stopped, looking puzzled.

The soldier who had just spoken asked, "General, what happened?" ”。

Tai Shi Ci shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just a temporary rest." There have been so many things that have happened during this time that some are too much to bear. ”

Tai Shici laughed at himself and thought: What to say to these soldiers?

Smiling, Tai Shici waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”

Several soldiers left the camp, and it didn't take long for Tai Shici to no longer hold any position, and the news soon spread in the barracks.

Cui Puyuan was the first to rush to Tai Shici's camp tent, with a look on his face, and said, "I just heard from the soldiers that you no longer hold any position?" What's going on? is not the commander of the former army, but he is still a general in the army, and he is the Taishou of Julu County, how can he say that he no longer holds any position? ”

Tai Shici chuckled: "I took the initiative to resign, resigned from all my positions, and planned to rest for a while. ”

Cui Puyuan frowned, a little disbelieving.

Seeing this, Tai Shici had to explain: "Pu Yuan, since the beginning of Yu'er's matter, up to now, too many things have happened, which makes me tired and very tired. Therefore, I took the initiative to ask my lord to go to the academy in Ye County to study for a period of time. After a period of time, he will become an official again. ”

Cui Puyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Wang Lei had deposed Tai Shici's official position.

Think about it, Wang Lei removed Tai Shi Ci from the post of former army commander in the camp tent, if he wanted to remove Tai Shi Ci from the rest of his positions, he would definitely put it forward together, and it was impossible to remove Tai Shi Ci from the rest of his posts after the meeting.

Tai Shi Ci looked ashamed and said, "Just now the soldiers helped me carry bamboo slips and other books, I accidentally told the soldiers that I leaked, you explain it to me after you go out, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

Cui Puyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will explain it clearly." ”

"Go, I'll be alone for a while."

Tai Shici waved his hand, Cui Puyuan got up to say goodbye and left the camp.

Cui Puyuan personally explained to the generals in the army, and after the generals understood, the people who cared about Tai Shici were also relieved. After all, Tai Shi Ci is not too much at fault, and Tai Shi Ci is very popular among the generals, Tai Shi Ci was dismissed for no reason, and the generals will inevitably be dissatisfied.

After explaining, the morale of the army stabilized.

The news in the camp was not hidden from Shi A, and after he got the news, he quickly came to Wang Lei's camp tent.

Shi Ah Shen was respectful and reported: "My lord, General Taishi is no longer the Taishou of Julu County, and the news of the position of general in the army has caused a certain impact. After Cui Puyuan explained, the army's heart had settled down. ”

Wang Lei nodded, but didn't say anything.

Shi A continued: "With the heart of a villain, the minister suggested that after General Taishi leaves office, if he goes out again in the future, he is not suitable to serve as the general of this army again, nor is he suitable to serve as the Taishou of Julu County, and he can serve as the position in the rest of the places. ”

Wang Lei laughed, Shi A's reminder, Wang Lei understood.

If Tai Shici stays in Julu County, it is inevitable that the family will be dominant.

In fact, in any era, there are factions in the army, and there are factions in the officialdom. It is almost impossible to put an end to the emergence of faction hills. From the beginning of his tenure as the Taishou of Julu County, Tai Shici presided over the overall situation in the north of Jizhou and took charge of military and political power. In a few years, there is naturally a group of henchmen.

If Tai Shi Ci has been in power for many years and does not even have a confidant, Wang Lei will have to doubt Tai Shi Ci's ability again. To put it another way, it is also an ability to win over some people to become henchmen.

Wherever you go, you are not accepted by others, and you are destined to fail to achieve great things.

Shi A's suggestion is reasonable, but Wang Lei has his own opinions.

Wang Lei said: "My brother's suggestion, I will keep it in my heart." You go and prepare a stele now, the Ming army set off and arrived at the battlefield where Li You, Qin Li and others died in battle, and I will erect a stele to mourn them. The time is a bit urgent, hurry up and finish it. ”

"No!"

Shi Ah nodded in response, turned and left the tent.

……

Jixian County, outside the city.

An army rushed quickly, but unfortunately, this army was in disarray.

This army is the remnant of the defeated army led by Ji Yuan.

Lu Bu led the troops to help, Ji Yuan retreated decisively, running all the way, the soldiers fled and scattered, and in the end there were less than 3,000 people left. However, the 3,000 soldiers were covered in blood, and many of them were scarred. The number of soldiers was close to three thousand, and there were very few soldiers who were really intact.

It's really last night's fight, it's too tragic.

Whether it was the 20,000 Jizhou army led by Qiu Hua and Qin Li, or the Youzhou army led by Ji Yuan, Gu Lie and Hong Shusi, both sides suffered huge losses.

Ji Yuan returned to Jixian County and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw the majestic and tall city.

It's finally back!

Ji Yuan came to the city tower with a group of remnants of the defeated army, looked up at the city tower, and shouted: "I am Ji Yuan, open the city gate and let us into the city." ”

The captain who was guarding the city was startled when he saw this on the castle tower.

Tens of thousands of soldiers killed them with great courage, and it was too miserable to come back with these soldiers. The captain was a cautious man, he looked up in the direction of the city in the distance, and saw that there was no movement on the official road in the distance, and there was no chasing army, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Rao is like this, the captain is still worried that the army under the city is cheating, and ordered the soldiers to be on full alert, ready to kill the city tower from the gallop to annihilate the 'enemy'.

The captain ordered the city gate to be opened and the men of Yoshiyuan were put into the urn city.

The army entered the city of urns, and then the heavy gates slammed shut.

The captain saw that Ji Yuan had become a turtle in the urn in the urn city, but there was no change in the slightest, so he was relieved. Obviously, this time it was a real defeat, and it was a terrible defeat.

Three thousand remnants, after entering the city, were quickly placed in the barracks.

Ji Yuan came to Guan Jing's mansion alone, he walked outside the gate, looked at the soldiers guarding the door, and said with a smile: "Please pass on the history of the customs chief, Ji Yuan asks to see." ”
