Since that day, Li, Yan, and Zhao have become brothers with different surnames, Li Biao is the eldest brother, Yan Xing is the second, and Zhao Hong is the youngest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And with the heavy snow in winter, the morale of the Liangzhou coalition army was constantly exposed, and the deserters in the various armies continued to increase, although Wang Fan was ordered to personally patrol the camp with iron horses, once it was found that there were soldiers who left the barracks without permission were all executed on the spot, but the bloody heads still could not stop the deserters, and even the whole army fled from the coalition army in the back.

In addition, there were rumors in the army in private, and there were more and more people who were frostbitten and froze to death, and the kingdom finally couldn't stop the pressure of everyone, and personally stated at the military meeting that if there was no turning point in the war after the beginning of spring, he would return to his hometown in Liangzhou with everyone, so the Liangzhou coalition army with declining morale and tired soldiers and horses finally did not collapse one after another, and countless soldiers were looking forward to the coming of spring.

In the big tent of the coalition army company camp outside Chencang City

At this moment, there are only two people left, the kingdom and the eldest son Wang Fan, and the cold atmosphere is the best portrayal of the current Wang family in the coalition army. A few heavy snowfalls in the winter have become the last straw that crushed their royal rule, a large number of men and horses have been frostbitten and frozen to death in the unusually cold winter, the soldiers at the bottom are complaining, the plundered gold and silver treasures have become as cold as bricks and tiles at this moment, and the military market with poor materials has been closed early in the morning, and the people and horses in the camp are all together, and there is no end to life.

Wang Fan, who was at the bottom of the head, grabbed the gold bottle on the desk in front of him at this time, and poured it directly into his throat without looking, but because he used too much force, the wine choked on him, and he suddenly let out a series of coughs. He continued to pour wine into his mouth without hesitation, so much so that the squirting was all over his body.

He tried his best to numb the pain in his body, so that the pain in his heart could be lessened. When the wine entered his throat, it turned into bitter water, watering the blocks in his chest where there was nowhere to vent, and he snorted the wine, his eyes were drunk, and he staggered away from the table and approached his father's throne.

In his eyes, his father has always been resourceful and invincible, whether it is Geng Contempt, the governor of a state, or the famous Fu Xie, they were once invincible, but they still fell on the way forward of their father and son, but why did they become like this now?

It was those hateful and cunning Han soldiers who did not come to the aid of Chen Cang, it was the hateful God who was against their father and son, which made many brave Liangzhou soldiers not die heroically on the battlefield compared to the unusually cold climate in previous years, but froze to death in their tents.

With the strength of wine, Wang Fan approached his father's side, sprayed wine and asked:

"Father, are we really going to retire?"

Wang Guo, who had been lowering his eyes, suddenly looked up at Wang Fan when he heard the sound, his eyes were already bloodshot, and his face was hideous and terrifying, Wang Fan was swept away by this cold gaze, and his scalp suddenly became numb, and he staggered back a few steps, because his legs were weak due to drunkenness, and he fell directly to the ground.

"Retirement?"

The kingdom said to himself, and then burst into a maniacal laugh. He slapped the case in wild laughter, pointed at Wang Fan who fell to the ground, and shouted loudly:

"Why do you want to quit the army? Do you also want me to flee back to Liangzhou in embarrassment like that Zhang, prolong my life, and finally die like an old dog? ”

The kingdom's angry shout scared Wang Fan out of a cold sweat, and he crawled close to the feet of the kingdom, hugged the kingdom's legs like grasping a life-saving straw, and raised his head and asked:

"So what should my father and son do now?"

The kingdom did not answer Wang Fan, since the beginning of winter, he expected that there would be such a day, like a gambler who lost all his all, he began to fall into the embarrassing situation of the soldiers, the Han army did not come to the rescue of Chen Cang, all the good things he described came to naught, but the unusually cold weather continued to wear down the little morale left in the army, cruelly taking away the lives of the soldiers of the coalition army.

When the head wolf can no longer lead his wolves to hunt enough prey, it also means that his leadership position is coming to an end. But the kingdom is never willing to retreat to Liangzhou in embarrassment, Bian Zhang retreated to Liangzhou after the defeat of Meiyang, he knows very well what will happen, rather than die in a nest, it is better to fight vigorously before dying.

The craziest and most terrifying thing about a gambler is not that he can put all his possessions on the table, but that he will never stop making bets with fate until the last drop of blood is shed!

Wang Kingdom coldly shook off Wang Fan's hand and stepped out without looking back, he must now start gambling with his own fate for the last time.

・・・

When Han Sui heard that the soldiers outside the tent were reporting the visit of the United General Kingdom outside the tent, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, put down the bamboo slips in his hand as usual, and got up to go out of the tent to greet the kingdom.

In his imagination, the crowd in the camp was surging, the soldiers were complaining, and the Liangzhou Haoqiang and tribal lords in the army also transferred their soldiers and horses to the dock fort captured elsewhere to avoid the wind and snow, and the troubled kingdom should be hiding in his big tent and thinking about everything painfully, praying for the bad luck brought to him by winter to leave early.

Now he would come to see him in private, which was indeed beyond Han Sui's expectations.

But soon, Han Sui saw the kingdom that was still in military uniform. It's just that Han Sui's sharp eyes quickly saw the silver threads densely covered under the belt, and the original black and red face was now covered with wrinkles that could not be erased, and there was a trace of anger in his haggard face.

Han Sui was vigilant, but he still behaved as usual, he smiled and saluted:

"General—"

"Wen Yue doesn't have to be polite, enter the account and say!"

The kingdom uncharacteristically interrupted Han Sui's salute and walked straight into Han Sui's tent. Han Sui saw him behaving like this, he turned around and fell half a step behind with a cautious nature, and glanced at the soldiers outside the tent before calmly stepping into the tent.

When he entered the tent, he saw the kingdom standing with his hands in his hands, his back straight, and when he heard the footsteps behind him, he turned his face slightly and asked in a loud voice:

"Wenyue, do you think I'm going to die?"

As soon as the words fell, the tent suddenly fell silent, and the temperature of the stove in the tent seemed to have decreased, and the slight breathing of the two could be heard in the quiet tent.

After a long time, Han Sui laughed and said:

The general laughed, since Di Dao started his army, the general has attacked Ji City, entered Sanfu, and was invincible and invincible. Although there were small setbacks under Chen Cangcheng, they were just trapped in the sky, and there was no harm to martial arts. After the beginning of spring, we can first retreat to Longyou, and we should have the opportunity to fight again! ”

After listening to Han Sui's words, Wang Guo smiled miserably and said:

"Do you really think we can return to Longyou safely?"

Han Sui didn't have an interface this time, of course he knew that with Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo's old and spicy soldiers, it would be difficult for the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou to escape the pursuit when they retreated and retreated, and they were sleepy and lacking horses, but at this time, in front of the kingdom, he naturally didn't want to say what he really thought in his heart.

"When the Han army is covered, I want to swear to fight with the pursuers!"

The kingdom, who had not received an answer, turned around and looked directly at Han Sui. This is the reason why he personally came to Han Sui today. His expression was sincere, he shook his head to the ground, and said earnestly:

"Yi" cloud: the two are concentric, and their profits are gold; With one heart, it stinks like an orchid. Although you and I had a holiday before, the way back was very dangerous, and the Han army was like a wolf and a tiger, looking at the side. In times of crisis, we should abandon our previous suspicions and work together to protect the people. If I can repel the Han army and return to Liangzhou safely, I am willing to take the blame and resign as the leader of the coalition army, and then serve the text as the main one, from now on the soldiers of the Wang family are the people of the Han family, and the two families will work together to achieve great things! ”

Seeing this, Han Sui hurriedly avoided it, he was moved, and said with some excitement:

"The general is not going to kill me, everyone pushed the general as the main one that day, it is precisely because the general is wise and powerful, and he has won the hearts of the people, although the coalition army is in distress now, but ten thousand people are united, how can they afford to commit a light offense, so they should take the general as the head of the horse, and go to the battlefield together, as for the matter of the leader, God will see it, so there is no such heart!"

Seeing that Han Sui expressed his willingness to work with him to defend against foreign enemies, the kingdom was immediately overjoyed, but when he heard that Han Sui was unwilling to accept the position of the leader of the coalition army, he persuaded again, Han Sui hurriedly resigned, the kingdom was not discouraged, and persuaded the third time, but the kingdom was still unmoved, and resigned, and loudly said that he had no dissent, did not dare to peep into the position of the leader, and was only willing to work together with the kingdom to protect the people.

Seeing Han Sui so resolute, the kingdom sighed, and said that he was by no means a person who coveted fame, but at the moment the coalition army was in danger, and only by returning to Longyou could he think about it in the long run, although he could be mediocre, but when he was in danger, he had to step forward and lead everyone back to his homeland in Liangzhou in the name of the general of the United People. So the two encouraged each other again and finalized some details of the retreat, the kingdom said goodbye and left, and Han Sui was also sent outside the gate, the two seemed to really abandon their previous suspicions, their feelings were sincere, and they shook hands and said goodbye.

After sending off the kingdom and Han Sui re-entered the tent, the mask of the coquettish posture was also taken off, and he immediately changed his face, squinting his eyes and thinking about all this quietly.

Regardless of whether the kingdom came specifically to test himself this time or really wanted to seek his help, Han Sui would not change his position. Since he joined the coalition army in Liangzhou in the first year of Zhongping and became an enemy of the Han court, he has seen countless deceitful and fierce battles on the battlefield, and his heart has long been like iron and hard to shake. Whether it is the fierce and warlike Beigong Boyu, the ambitious Li Wenhou or the treacherous and cunning Bian Zhang, they all fell at his feet.

Now, the kingdom that had once been invincible and repeatedly wanted to weaken itself had to bow its head and ask for help, willing to give up the position of leader, and the balance of victory was once again tilted in his favor.

But he knew he wanted more than that.

Han Sui let out a long breath, he had already thought about what to do next.
