In the exquisitely furnished room, the lights in front of the screen are swaying slightly, reflecting two figures sitting opposite each other.

"Mother, Mi'er can't promise you this."

"Why?"

"Xianyi, he is already my husband, how can a wife harm her husband."

"Mi'er, you don't understand, mother, this is for the Zhen family. Once Jizhou becomes a battlefield of competition, Yuan Jizhou wins, we have nothing to lose, but once Yuan Jizhou loses, we must think clearly about the way back. ”

"So...... Mother bets on both sides, and Mi'er marries the Yuan family just for the Zhen family, right? ”

"I ...... Yes...... As a mother, you can only live for the Zhen family in this life, you are a woman of the Zhen family, you should accept your fate. ”

“.…… Will my husband die? ”

"No, your stepfather just wants to hide you and Yuan Xi, and he only needs the Zhen family to do this, and he doesn't need to participate in the rest."

"He was born as a horse thief, and his mother believed him?"

"But he started from nothing and has proven everything."

“.……”

The conversation stopped, and soon the door creaked open, and a girl stepped out of the threshold with her skirt and walked out, and behind her, the woman chased after her and whispered: "Mi'er, remember, everything is arranged outside the city, look for an opportunity to go to the ......"

The girl, with her back to the woman, stopped abruptly, hung her head with her chest heaving, and was silent for a while, and then took a step and walked straight away.

Zhang watched his daughter leave, and when he turned around, a sturdy figure in the room came out from behind the screen and was standing at the door looking at her with a smile.

The last rays of red were set at sunset.

******************

Easy to water.

"Hold on! No refund—"

The footsteps roared like rain falling on the trembling earth, advancing forward like a tide of rage, and in the sound of hooping, the first row of shield arrays on both sides continued to contact, collide, and rub against each other, and one spear pressed into the hands of the people and stabbed forward frantically, and the hot blood splashed on the faces and shields from time to time.

Trapped in the rear of the camp formation, Gao Shun was riding on horseback with an expressionless face, but his eyes were staring at the formation of collision and killing without blinking, and he was not surprised when he met Koji Yi on the opposite side, but only a little earlier.

"Jizhou Xiandeng Dead Soldier can leave Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Righteousness in the Jieqiao, and it is really not in vain." He gave orders to adjust from time to time, but his thoughts never stopped for a moment: "It's a pity that this camp is now elite, but it is not my old department, otherwise I can give it a go...... However, this time I was able to fight with the first dead man, and I should have a good idea of how to fight in the future. ”

Just thinking about it, there was a cavalry approaching in the rear, and when he turned around, the cavalry had already approached: "General Gao, the main general has an order, it should be possible to withdraw ......" When he spoke, the sound of Mingjin suddenly came from the distance, and at dusk, Gao Shun and the cavalry looked at the opposite side of the battlefield in unison, and frowned, "....... Zhang He actually made people retreat......"

Farther under the banner of Xu Zi, Xu Rong urged the horse to take a few steps forward, squeezed the reins, and squinted his eyes: "There is such a good thing, the order is to cover up the ......" The raised arm hesitated, and the order was not issued in the end, with the last trace of afterglow, the Jizhou military formation in the distance, faintly there was smoke and dust pressed up from the rear formation.

"Forget it, Zhang He is prepared, there is nothing to take advantage of the pursuit and cover-up, according to the old order, let the front army retreat slowly, don't pursue at will, hurry! Don't let those crazy guys mess around! "The surrounding heralds received the order to gallop out in all directions, and if they were far away, someone directly ignited the rocket and shot it into the sky.

On the other side of the first camp, Koji Yi under the banner looked back at the Chinese army almost with a split eye, and roared loudly: "What's the matter?!" Why did Ming Jin withdraw his troops at this time, the Xiliang army didn't last long, why did he collect his troops-"

"I don't know...... But the surrounding front is retreating! ”

"Incompetent, under such a general trend, should crush the enemy in one go...... Why does the lord use this Zhang Jun to be the main general, misunderstand me!! Pass my orders, and then call—"

"General Koji, we can't fight anymore, if we continue to fight, we will be alone......"

The henchmen and guards were anxiously saying, Koji Yi threw the horsewhip to the ground in a hurry, and he bared his teeth at this sudden withdrawal signal, and he couldn't figure out what reason Zhang He had to give the order to withdraw at such a juncture, how could he do something stupid, even if it was dark and the torch was lit, it was not impossible to continue fighting. Angry scolding, Koji Yi looked at the entire battlefield, the line of sight has become extremely poor, the left and right fighting fronts are retreating, if they continue to fight, but they will let themselves fall into a lonely situation, knowing that it is impossible to recover the victory that is coming, so he has to lead more than 1,000 people under his command to go back to the main formation.

The signal of Mingjin's withdrawal of troops continued, and after about half a pillar of incense, the sound of fighting on the battlefield gradually subsided, and when both sides intended to avoid the battle, there was no picture of chasing and covering up the killing.

When night fell, the military retreated and poured into their respective camps to rest, shouting and scolding in the barracks, Koji Yi dragged his cloak, carried a sword at his waist, his face was extremely bad, his eyes were full of bloodshots, as if condensed frost, and when he came to the big tent, the guards wanted to stop, but he punched him over, and pushed another soldier to the brazier that was erected, and with a bang, the burning firewood was sprinkled on the ground, and countless sparks rose into the sky.

At the same time that the angry figure lifted the curtain and strode in, the first Zhang He was pointing to the map with several lieutenants and commanding something, and when he saw Koji Yi who walked in, he said: "General Koji will sit down first, and we will talk about it after a certain thing is finished." ”

Koji Yi walked behind a few people, stood in the middle, and stared at him with straight eyes: "I'm going to talk now, the others get out-"

"Why is General Koji so angry...... Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers......"

"Fart!" Koji Yi stepped forward half a step forward and roared violently: "That's not the reason!" the others out, don't let me do it!! ”

The lieutenants frowned, turned their heads, and their eyes became unkind. Zhang He put down the map and stood up, and those people subconsciously surrounded the angry yelling figure, some people tried to get closer, and just as they were about to raise their hands, they were punched in the face by Koji Yi, and the other punch was punched in the abdomen, knocking the approaching person to the ground.

Koji Yi clenched his fists tightly, glared at Zhang He who came over, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Zhang Junyi, I just came here to ask you, why did you withdraw your troops at such a juncture, do you know how many soldiers' lives were exchanged for such a situation, and it is worthless if you withdraw, what else do you have to say!" ”

The movement inside made the soldiers who had arrived in the camp first noisy outside the tent.

Zhang He helped the deputy general on the ground up, and his voice was very soft: "This is a military order, if you say withdraw, you will withdraw, this is the value!" ”

"Why?!" The voice on the other side almost roared.

"The army is all about following orders." Zhang He glanced at him, took a step back, pulled out the sword at his waist sharply, and waved his hand: "Come on, take down General Koji-"

The curtain was lifted, the guards broke in, and several lieutenants also drew their knives against the figure in the middle, and then when someone went over and pressed the other party on the shoulder, Koji Yi struggled violently and shouted: "Zhang Junyi, you dare!" Is it a rebellion? Even if you die, I won't let you go! ”

"General Koji, it's the lord who takes you......"

The slightly dry words came out, Zhang He pursed his lips tightly, and looked at the other party: "....... Please also ask the general not to make it difficult for him, just return to Yecheng and listen to the lord's questioning, and the rest of the general will be safe. ”

Lu Yi didn't move, he looked at Zhang He who was talking in place, outside the tent, the noise of the soldiers who went to the camp first continued, getting louder and louder, and then spread to this side, and suddenly said "Ah! The moment the terrible scream rang out, everything was broken, the curtain was lifted again, and someone rushed in from the outside and slashed it.

Phew-

The gold and iron clashed, and the sparks splashed, and then several of the first dead men rushed in with shields and knives: "The general goes with the brothers, they are going to kill us!" A voice shouted, pulled Koji Yi, who was still dazed, and rushed out of the tent, and the dim torch light was clearly extinguished and swayed in the camp.

The surrounding shadowy figures wielding weapons and fighting with the first dead soldiers came into view, Ko Yi stumbled and followed the soldiers running, more Jizhou soldiers in the camp poured over layer upon layer, dense spears were raised flat on all sides, and the first dead soldiers who fought hard in the front row were pierced and picked up by several handles, and even more than ten spear heads were pierced and provoked, and flew into the air, blood was sprinkled, and the shouts of fighting broke out, and the remaining five hundred Xianden soldiers could not hold out for long under such a combined momentum.

In the heart-rending cry of the pro-soldier who ran out with Koji Yi, he raised the hilt of the knife in his hand towards the crowd in front of him: "The general stands behind me!" Then, knocking into the gun array.

A stream of warm blood splashed on Koji's face, and the soldier's body also penetrated in an instant, picked up the air, and smashed to the ground with a bang, staining a large area of soil red.

"Don't kill again!"

A huge sound erupted from the shaking body like a tiger's roar, and at this moment, Zhang He and the others on the other side of the tent also rushed out, waving his hand to stop everyone, he looked at Lu Yi who was standing in a pool of blood, surrounded by the corpses of his own soldiers, and arched his hand: "General Koji, go back with me." ”

"Go back? Where are ...... going?"

Koji Yi said hoarsely and in a low voice, his eyes swept over the corpse on the ground, and looked at the Xianden soldiers who were still holding the knife and surrounding him, "Hehe...... Ha ha...... Hahaha ......" laughed, his shoulders trembled, his figure gradually collapsed, and when he turned to look at Zhang He in front of the handsome tent, his whole body was trembling, his hands were clenched into fists, and his teeth clicked.

"Yuan Shao, little belly chicken intestines......" His eyes were full of red silk, tears slowly fell, the green tendons on his forehead were swollen, his face was also distorted, his voice paused, and then "Ah-" let out a terrible roar.

He drew his sword and put it around his neck.

"Hate! I only hate that I was blind at the beginning—"

"Koji Shogun can't!" Zhang He rushed over, and several people over there were also shouting that they couldn't rush forward.

Burst!

A red mark stretched along the neck with the cold blade of the sword, and scarlet blood splashed on the face of Zhang He, who rushed up, and the corpse that killed himself with the sword lay straight down.

The sky, thunder roared in the night, and the spring rain was coming.
