"I can't walk, I really can't walk. Mother, I'm not leaving. ”

On the road, in the crowd, a child let go of the woman's hand next to him, sat on the ground, and cried loudly.

Walking here from Luoyang, they have really been walking for a long time, and they haven't rested for too long. For a child, it is indeed too tiring.

The child's swollen ankles were reddish and he really couldn't stand up.

"Hurry up."

A woman beside him was pale, and when she saw the child sitting on the ground, she hurriedly tried to help the child up, but it was too late.

"Let's go!" The soldiers with swords urged behind, and the crowd pushing forward for a while quickened their pace.

One didn't hold it, and the two were squeezed apart.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Just wait a minute! ”

There was no room for the woman to walk back, she shouted loudly, and used all her strength to squeeze in the direction of the child behind, but she could only be coerced by the crowd and walked towards the front.

In the footsteps of the crowd, the child's cry gradually disappeared, and I don't know if it was too far away to be heard, or the child was tired of crying and had no sound, or it was already drowned out by the crowd.

The woman was held by the crowd, her mouth open, her mouth made a dry whimper, her eyes were open and she was looking desperately, walking forward with her head down, and there was no end to the sea of people.

"Please, stop for a while, it'll be fine for a while."

Her body went limp, she fell, and fell to her knees on the ground, holding her face in her hands, crying suppressed.

The crowd was driven by swords, as if they were cattle, and the back pushed the front, and they couldn't stop at all, and they couldn't even see what was under their feet.

Countless footsteps have been stepped on by the woman's side and even on the body.

Then came the horses, and the chariots, until the woman was silent.

There was some bumps on the horse's back, Li Ru's body swayed slightly with the horse's footsteps, raised his head and looked at the terrain on both sides, thoughtful.

"What are you looking at?" Dong Zhuo sat on the frame and found that Li Ru who was walking on the side seemed to be thinking about something, leaning on the railing of the car and asking.

"Sangkook." Li Ru turned his head and looked at Dong Zhuo and bowed slightly.

"The terrain here is high and low, suitable for ambushes, and it is easy to break off here with soldiers."

He lowered his saluting hand, took the reins, and pointed to the back of a hillside in the distance.

"Although it cannot be said that there will be princes to chase, but Xiangguo can set up a bright department here and several dark departments. The bright department guards, the dark department ambushes, if there are princes chasing them, they can intercept and cover up, and they can also make them dare not chase again. ”

"Ambush?" Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words and raised his head to look around.

There are many woodland slopes near this road, which are indeed suitable for ambushes, but they are too suitable for ambushes, and he grinned and looked at Li Ru again.

"Ambush here, how could the princes not think of it, how could they fall for the scheme?"

"It's not a strategy, it's a plan."

Li Ru smiled calmly, as if he didn't care whether the princes would see through his plan.

"When the princes come to chase after the country, they must be attacking, and since it is attacking, they are sending troops to fight. Xiangguo set up troops here, and the princes knew that there was an ambush in this forest, and if they wanted to chase Xiangguo, they could only attack. If you take a detour, you can also call Mingbu to intercept it. ”

"Even if we are prepared to chase after us in a hurry, our army is geographically advantageous and has the upper hand, and the chance of victory is far greater than the defeat rate."

"Do you mean that the princes still have a defeat rate?"

Dong Zhuo's eyebrows were raised, and he seemed to be a little contemptuous, but his tone was calm.

"Xiangguo, there is no perfect strategy in the world, and those who plan will have a miscalculation. and every army marching will be defeated. ”

Li Ru lowered his head and said as if he was humble.

"That's a good point." Dong Zhuo stood up, thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay, then according to you, divide an army to ambush here!" ”

"Xie Xiangguo." Li Ru smiled and bowed.

Dong Zhuo looked at him, but suddenly said: "Sometimes I really feel that you are not good, you should get rid of it." ”

said that he put his hand on the wheel: "Even if you have no last resort, if you want to come, it won't even be me moving away from Chang'an, and it is also in your plan, right?" ”

"Hehehe."

Li Ru, who was riding on the horse, laughed a little heartily and shook his head calmly.

"Xiangguo said with a smile, how can anyone be at a loss?"

The army urged the people to move forward, Li Ru looked at the people in front of him, and there was no one in the crowd who looked like a human being.

Li Ru looked away and didn't continue to look, the look in his eyes flickered.

Qin abolished the separation, and the Han Dynasty established the division, hundreds of years, has already made the foundation of the princes of the family firm, like maggots in the country, and they can't go.

At the time of the first dynasty, it was confirmed that the national strength was no longer enough to get rid of the princes.

Now that the troubled times have come, why don't you push it and give it a try.

······

"Tread, step, step." The sound of horses' hooves stomping on the rocks and dirt on the road.

The silence in the forest was broken by the sound of the army walking, and the stones were carried to the side of the road by footsteps, causing a shake in the bushes by the roadside, probably alarming something.

The distant horizon of the army was reddish, and it was almost dark.

The soldier's footsteps were heavy and slow, and it seemed that he had been marching for a long time.

"Stop!"

A call was remembered in front of the army, the flag waved, and the army slowly stopped.

"Rest in place!" Voice command.

The horseman fell off his horse, and the foot soldier walked to the side of the road and sat down on the ground.

Cao Cao had already led the army to chase for a whole day, and he was sleepy and tired.

Although Dong Zhuo moved away with the people of a city, the speed of the march was not fast, but he walked for a few days first, and if he did not hurry up, it would be difficult to catch up.

As night approached, the soldiers gathered some dry wood in the woods and lit a bonfire.

The horses were tied to the stump by the side of the road, and when they saw the bonfire lit on the side, they dodged, but they were pulled by the reins, and could only shake their heads restlessly by the stump.

The soldier sat down somewhat wearily by the tree, his spear resting diagonally beside him, his head bowed.

The campfire was lit, but no hot food was cooked, no one had the effort, and no one had the strength.

Sitting by the fire and simply taking a few bites of dry food is considered to have been eaten.

The campfire shone in the shadow of the men and horses, and the helmets and swords were somewhat scattered on the ground, and they were not even camped, and they were resting on the side of the road.

The voices in the army were small, and most of them were just gossip between one or two people, chatting casually about something, and people would fall asleep when they wanted to chat.

Gu Nan sat by a bonfire, put Wuge on the ground, and took out a piece of dry food from his arms.

Just as she was about to eat, she heard a footstep approaching, raised her head, and saw Cao Cao walking towards her.

"Sir." Cao Cao smiled and handed a piece of jerky in his hand to Gu Nan.

"Thank you." Gu Nan didn't refuse, and took it with a smile.

"Ahh With a tired sound, Cao Cao propped his knees and sat cross-legged beside Gu Nan.

"Sir, what do you think are the chances of winning here?"
