Seeing the Wei army's camp on fire, the army that had been waiting for a long time in Pengcheng poured out of the nest and poured out from several city gates to join the attack on the Wei army.

Chen Qingzhi received a report that the commander of the Wei army had fled, so he beckoned the soldiers and shouted loudly, "The commander of the Wei army has fled!" The Wei army is defeated! ”

The soldiers shouted in unison as they fought bravely to kill the enemy; The Wei army suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy casualties in the abdomen, and when they heard that the main generals had already fled, they suddenly lost their fighting spirit and their morale collapsed - those who surrendered and begged for mercy, those who threw away their armor and fled for their lives, and the cries and wails resounded......

In the early morning, when the first rays of morning light burst out of the horizon, the battle was over and the battlefield was silent. The Wei army camp was in a mess, corpses were everywhere, a small part of the Liang army and the Xuzhou army were cleaning the battlefield, and more soldiers were leaning against each other and resting on the spot, after all, after a night of hard fighting, they were exhausted at this moment.

Hui Ze knelt alone in a small clearing, holding a Buddhist bead in his hand, chanting for the spirits of the dead on these battlefields.

Xu Jin silently walked up to him and sat down cross-legged. But he didn't bother Hui Ze, just looked at the gentle morning light in the sky, and quietly listened to the muttered chanting......

After reciting the sutra, Hui Ze hung the beads back around his neck and stuffed them into his armor.

Turning his head to look at Xu Jin beside him, a faint smile bloomed on his face, "What, are you even tired?" ”

"I'm not tired." Xu Jin also turned his head to look at Hui Ze, "It was too chaotic last night, and I couldn't take care of you, just to see if you were injured or anything, and I was relieved to see that you were okay." ”

"Although it's the first time on the battlefield, it's not weak enough to need someone to take care of it, don't worry."

"It's really lucky to have you at this time, our fallen brothers, and you can still have a monk chanting for them." Xu Jin patted Hui Ze's shoulder.

"Not only our brothers, but also chanting for the souls of Wei Jun."

"You still chant for your enemies?" Xu Jin's eyes widened and he asked incredulously.

"For the little monk, the ones who can really be called enemies are only people like Yang Zhao and Bai Rakshasa , and these Wei soldiers who died in battle are actually just ordinary people." Hui Ze looked up at the morning light that was gradually spreading in the sky, and there was a hint of compassion in his tone, "We just have different positions, and we have to fight for our lives." I have been with my master for so many years, and among these Wei soldiers, there may be good people who have given us charity......"

Xu Jin could feel Hui Ze's meaning, but he really couldn't find the right language to talk to, so he could only pat Hui Ze's back silently.

The two of them looked at the sky silently.

Hui Ze suddenly turned his head and asked, "Jin, do you like this kind of army life?" ”

Xu Jin was stopped by this sudden question, he thought for a while before slowly answering, "To be honest, I have indeed become accustomed to the life in the Yixing Barracks in the past few years, I like to train, eat, and fight with my brothers, and I also like the days when you, Brother Chen, Brother Yu, and Brother Song are together." What about you? Hui Ze, how do you feel? ”

"I also like to be with everyone, but ......," Hui Ze's face sank, "As long as I am in the army, I will continue to kill again...... I...... I really don't want to kill innocent people anymore......"

"Otherwise, let's go and talk to Brother Chen, and in the future, you will only help with training, and you won't go into battle." Xu Jin proposed.

"Perhaps, this is the karma of the little monk." Hui Ze said wistfully, "In order to avenge Brother Yang and his wife, in order to meet Yang Zhao one day, it is impossible for me to leave the battlefield, at least, I can't leave until I take revenge......"

"We all want to avenge Brother Yang and Mrs. Yang. Hui Ze, you are a monk, I want to ...... I may be able to understand your difficulties......" Xu Jin tried his best to comfort Hui Ze, "We are brothers in life and death, didn't we say that we will never be separated." I'll be with you, Hui Ze......"

The battlefield was almost cleaned up, Song Jingxiu and Yu Tianchou were beckoning the soldiers to line up, Ma Funian took the military book, and happily reported the results to Chen Qingzhi.

"General Chen, we fought this battle so beautifully! Our army only suffered more than 300 casualties, the Wei army was captured more than 10,000 people, beheaded tens of thousands, and the weapons and armor obtained were quite heavy, and there were more than 400 pairs of heavy horse armor! ”

But Chen Qingzhi didn't show much joy, but muttered to himself, "More than 300 brothers have been killed and wounded, it's a mistake ...... below."

At this moment, there was a warm call from afar, "Brother Xian! Virtuous Brother ......"

Chen Qingzhi and Ma Funian followed the prestige, only to see Zhu Yi happily waving and shouting, while running towards them—followed by Ye Wang Yuanshu, Yuan Fa Monk, and Yuan Jingzhong and his party.

Chen Qingzhi and Ma Funian hurriedly stepped forward.

"Brother Yanhe, His Royal Highness King Ye."

"Sir, His Royal Highness King Ye."

The two bowed to Zhu Yi and King Ye.

Zhu Yi grabbed Chen Qingzhi's hand and slapped it a few times warmly, "Brother Xian, it's too timely!" Foolish brother knows that you will definitely be able to defeat the Wei army! ”

Before Chen Qingzhi could be polite, the Yuan monk on the side stood up, bowed his hand, and said in a flattering tone, "General Chen is above, please accept the Yuan monk!" ”

Chen Qingzhi glanced at the groveling old man in front of him, and asked in a cold tone, "You are the Xuzhou Assassin Shi Yuan monk?" ”

"It's the old man. General Chen is truly a god from heaven, unparalleled in the world......"

"No need to be complimented!" Chen Qingzhi interrupted the words of the Yuan monk, "Let the soldiers enter the city to rest first." ”

Entering Pengcheng, Chen Qing ordered to camp and rest in the streets, and enter the houses strictly and privately, and those who disturb the people will be dealt with by military law!

"General Chen, this is a strict military discipline, and the old man admires it!" Monk Yuan continued to compliment.

Chen Qingzhi ignored it, and Monk Yuan continued, "The old man has prepared a banquet, please ask General Chen to appreciate his face." ”

Seeing that Chen Qingzhi still ignored him, Zhu Yi stood up and said, "Brother Xian, you have also worked hard, let's get together together." ”

"Along the way, the brothers did not eat a mouthful of hot food, so they first got them some food." Chen Qingzhi said to the Yuan monk.

"Of course! Of course! The old man immediately ordered someone to prepare! ”

"Let's go, Brother Xian, you saved the life of the foolish brother, I have to pay you a few lights!" Zhu Yi took Chen Qingzhi's hand and said happily.

Under the guidance of the Yuan monk, everyone came to the lobby, the wine and food had already been set up, and the dancing girl band had been waiting for a long time.

After taking his seat, the monk raised the wine cup high, "Princess, General Chen defeated the Wei army with a outnumber, and achieved such an immortal record, come, we will pay tribute to General Chen!" ”

The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively, and people kept coming to toast Chen Qingzhi, and Zhu Yi was even more virtuous, and the virtuous brother shouted, which seemed extremely intimate. Chen Qingyi has always disliked such occasions, but he can only try to greet him with a smile.

King Ye also held the wine cup and walked in front of Chen Qingzhi, "General Chen, thanks to you this time, otherwise Xiao Wang would really have no face to see Your Majesty again." ”

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, King Ye was attacked by the Wei army, and he also attacked the Wei army in the next place, which is regarded as the way of the other, and the other body, His Royal Highness the King of Ye does not need to blame himself. Your Majesty, I will explain to you below, Your Majesty has always been kind, and I shouldn't blame you too much. ”

When King Ye heard Chen Qingzhi's words, he couldn't help but be grateful, "General Chen's great kindness, Xiao Wang really can't repay it!" ”

"King Ye's words are serious, since Brother Yang suffered an accident, you have taken good care of Miss Yang, and my two brothers, Xu Jin and Hui Ze, have a deep affection for Brother Yang's family, and I want to thank you for them."

"Yang Baihua and Xiao Wang are old friends, and taking care of his orphans is within Xiao Wang's responsibility, so why thank you."

"Therefore, King Ye is a good person who values love and righteousness, how can he let a good person suffer in the future."

As he was talking, Monk Yuan stood up and announced loudly, "The Wei army has retreated, let's go to Jiankang tomorrow and enjoy peace and happiness!" ”

There was a burst of jubilation in the hall, and the cheers came and went.

Chen Qingzhi was a little surprised, "Has the assassin already decided to go south to Jiankang?" ”

Zhu Yi raised his flushed face and spurted wine to answer first, "Not bad!" Virtuous brother, my brother has persuaded Yuan Gong to return to Jiankang with us, and make a statement to His Majesty for the brotherhood, ensuring that Yuan Gong will be prosperous and prosperous, and enjoy his life in peace! When the time comes, the virtuous brother will also help his brother. ”

Chen Qingzhi didn't answer, and when Monk Yuan saw it in his eyes, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and shouted to the door, "Hurry up, hurry up, bring it in!" ”

After a while, several guards came in with several large boxes. Monk Yuan repeated his old tricks, personally opened the lid of the box, and displayed the gold and silver treasures stuffed inside in front of Chen Qingzhi.

"General Chen, you relieved the siege of Pengcheng and saved our lives, just a little courtesy, and I would like to express my gratitude."

Chen Qingzhi glanced at these treasures and asked lightly, "How much does Yuan Gong estimate his life?" ”

This sentence surprised everyone present.

But the monk quickly understood, he gave a look, the guards understood, and after a while, they brought a few more boxes and placed them in front of Chen Qingzhi.

While slowly opening the lid of the box, Monk Yuan said slowly, "General Chen, the old man is in his last years, I don't know if this estimate is appropriate?" ”

Chen Qingzhi was still expressionless, "How can this Pengcheng be only Yuan Gong, your heirs, family members, their lives are not valuable?" ”

Monk Yuan's face became heavy - this Chen Qingzhi's appetite is so greedy, does he have to knock him out of his bones and suck the marrow?

Zhu Yi staggered over. He smiled and put his arm around Chen Qingzhi's shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Brother Xian, I never thought that your appetite is so big, it's almost enough, don't be too greedy......"

"Okay!" Chen Qingzhi paused and said, "Looking at Brother Yanhe's face, let's just pay this price." ”

The tense face of the Yuan monk finally breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he wanted to squeeze some smiles out, Chen Qingzhi then spoke again.

"Yuan Gong has already decided to go to Jiankang, why don't you let those captured men and women go, anyway, you don't need it, let them go back to resume production, they are now my people!"

When Monk Yuan heard this, he just wanted to refute, but Zhu Yi spoke first.

"Yuan Gong, Ziyun is right, now they are my Liang's people; However, I think you can pick some of them and take them to Jiankang to wait for you, and let the rest go. ”
