"Guo Fengxiao!?" A weak voice came from behind the hall.

Everyone hurriedly turned around to look, and Hua Wenxuan had woken up at some point, and he swayed to the front.

Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Hua Wenxuan, and led him to the couch to rest.

Mao Jue looked at Hua Wenxuan with a little surprise, "Gongzi Wenxuan is very powerful today!" I never imagined that there would be such a helpless situation, it is really providential! ”

Hua Wenxuan smiled bitterly and looked at Zhuge Liang faintly, Zhuge Liang understood, "Invite Mao Taishou down first, take care of it, don't slack off!" ”

After Mao Jue left, Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward to visit, Hua Wenxuan's body was still very weak, he tried hard to support his body, let himself sit up straighter, his eyes were dull, staring at Zhuge Liang, and asked faintly: "Brother Xingba?"

Zhuge Liang pursed his lips and said, "The corpse has been put into the coffin, waiting for the lord to decide!"

"Find someone to send back to Xiangyang! Thick burial! Hua Wenxuan said softly numbly: "The whole army brings filial piety and sends a funeral for Brother Xingba!"

Zhao Yun couldn't help but lean forward, "Lord... Brother Wenxuan! Why don't you go and see it? ”

"I'm not going!" Hua Wenxuan turned his face with difficulty, "Today's events are all Wenxuan's fault!" I don't have the face to see Brother Xingba! Hua Wenxuan's voice became more and more choked, two lines of hot tears slowly slipped down, sadness spread in the hall, and Zhao Yun couldn't help but redden.

Zhao Yun pursed his eyes and retreated, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and asked: "Today's matter, although the lord is gullible and tricky, but fortunately, he has now taken Yingchuan City, so he will not be trapped under the city." But there is an urgent matter at the moment, and I ask the lord to tell the truth! ”

Hua Wenxuan looked up at Zhuge Liang, "But it's okay to talk about it!" ”

Zhuge Liang pursed his lips, "The lord is a strange man, but what happened before today's battle, does the lord still have an impression?" ”

Hua Wenxuan frowned, and replied softly: "I only remember that I watched Brother Xingba fall to the root of the city wall under the city, Cao Chun raised a knife and ran towards me, and then what happened, I only had a vague impression, my body seemed to be out of my control, my mind was blank, it seemed that someone was controlling my every move, only my consciousness was subtly guiding me to break the Yingchuan City Gate, under the city gate, I felt that my power was constantly absorbed by an invisible energy, and after that I only had a moment of lucidity, Then he fainted! ”

Zhuge Liang's expression was grim, silent, walked to the door of the hall, took a torch, came to the side, where the firelight illuminated, a black stone was placed on the ground.

"As General Zilong said, the lord's magic should be controlled by this thing, I don't know what the lord can know?" Zhuge Liang looked at Hua Wenxuan with a serious expression.

Hua Wenxuan looked at the black stone blankly, and the lake stone outside Xiangyang City, "This stone is strange, it can absorb my magic, in the past in Hanshou, it was also Shamoke who used this thing to pull me back who was about to run away!" ”

Zhuge Liang was silent, looked down at the stone, and after a long time, he said softly: "This thing is inlaid on the top of the Yingchuan City Gate, and it can't be seen at all at ordinary times. ”

Hua Wenxuan's heart was shocked, it was not set up to defend himself, it has been some years, is it to prevent Zhang Jiao? But this thing can restrain Zhang Jiao's magic technique, why hasn't anyone used this thing against me for a long time? Or is the secret not known? Or is it simply because I haven't threatened this person's interests yet?

Yingchuan? Xun Yu is a native of Yingchuan, and at Xun Yu's age, it seems that he shouldn't have any relationship with Zhang Jiao? But Xun Yu was able to cooperate with Guo Jia's strategy to lure me to Yingchuan, it's hard to say that it's not because I know that Yingchuan has something here that can restrain my magic! Hua Wenxuan thought of crossing in the morning, Xun Yu resolutely insisted on killing himself, including the fire in Xunfu, could it be that from beginning to end, it has always been Xun Yu, trying to take my name?!

Hua Wenxuan sat weakly on the couch, his mind in chaos.

Not long after, Zhao Yun came back from outside the palace, "The soldiers of Luoyang are less than a day's journey away from Yingchuan, and there is no news from Runan, so it must be close, how to decide, please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Hua Wenxuan looked at Zhuge Liang, at this time he had already descended to Yingchuan, and Xu Du was close at hand, but if he attacked Xu Du at this time, the troops of Luoyang were on his side, although there would not be many soldiers and horses in Runan, but they threatened the grain road behind the army, even if they captured Xu Du, they would also fall into a three-sided siege, Hua Wenxuan really realized what it was like to say "chicken ribs" that Cao Cao said back then.

Zhuge Liang looked at Hua Wenxuan's expression, stepped forward, and arched his hand and said, "For the monarch, be good at deciding!" The lord must not hesitate, although our army has won Yingchuan, but it is into the land of death, once trapped in the lonely city, there is no food and grass, and there is no way to retreat! ”

Hua Wenxuan frowned, hesitating in his heart, this Yingchuan City was won by taking Gan Ning's life, wouldn't it be a waste of all the efforts to give up like this?

What's more, the black stone that appeared today, there are more than 10,000 soldiers of the two armies who witnessed all this, once it spreads, what is the use of this strange art?

Zhuge Liang saw that Hua Wenxuan was still silent, his heart was crossed, he lifted his robe and knelt down and arched his hand: "Please think twice, the tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers here are the foundation of our army's blood, once they are all lost here, Jingzhou will be difficult to rise again, for the future, the lord is cautious!" ”

Zhao Yun was silent and knelt down with him.

Hua Wenxuan closed his eyes helplessly and said softly: "Withdraw the troops!" Back to Wancheng! ”

Hua Wenxuan's army slowly withdrew southward, and Hua Wenxuan, regardless of his weakness, wore linen and filial piety with Zhao Yun to support Gan Ning's spirit.

Traveling to Xuanyuan Mountain, Wei Yan has set up camp here, after receiving the army into the village, Zhuge Liang called Wei Yan and Zhao Yun to instruct carefully, "This is three or five days away from Wancheng, Cao Jun sees us retreating, will definitely chase and kill, tomorrow our army abandons this camp, you two each lead an army to ambush on the mountain, but see Cao Jun chasing along the road, then attack it, will be a big victory, no need to chase, quickly to Wancheng!" ”

The two generals ordered to go down, Hua Wenxuan looked at Zhuge Liang, and apologized: "Wenxuan didn't listen to the words of the military advisor, so far he will end up, and he will forgive the military advisor!"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but it's a pity that General Gan was folded today, the lord is guilty, and he wants to take care of his body, the matter of the black stone is the top priority, if the Cao family cracks the lord's magic, then in the future, the lord must remember, don't risk the stone again!"

Hua Wenxuan nodded lightly.

Two days later, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan broke the Cao family's pursuit in Xuanyuan Mountain, and the Cao family regained Yingchuan City and no longer pursued.

On the winter solstice, Hua Wenxuan returned to Wancheng, mourned for three days, returned to Xiangyang, and buried Ganning, after which he closed the door and said that he was not sick.

Not long after, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao broke Sun Quan in Hefei, and Taishi Cidian died in the chaos.
