"Quick, Marshal. Let's go quickly, it's still too late to escape, but if we go any longer, then we really don't have any chance. "At the beginning of the massacre, looking at the soldiers on his side, they were completely defeated by the black-clothed army at the moment when the two armies fought.

As a general in charge of the personal guard of the Thorn Commander, he couldn't help but walk quickly to the horse of the Thorn Commander, and shouted such a thing by pulling his neck at the Thorn Commander who was completely stunned.

But at this time, for such a remark, the thorn can't help but feel like a fool now.

Riding on a war horse, he was now stunned like a piece of wood. Even the eyeballs must not understand, as if they were stupid.

"Marshal! Marshal!!! Seeing this, the Commander of the Guards couldn't help but take another step forward, and then shouted with all his might.

And like this, being shouted like this, the stabbing handle naturally came back to his senses. However, after coming back to his senses, he looked at his defeated soldiers and horses, but he couldn't help but look up to the sky and cry: "I'm done today!" Then, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

"Marshal, marshal!" Seeing this, the soldiers guarding him couldn't help but exclaim.

However, at this time, the commander of the personal guard who lost the thorn capital was a rare person to maintain his sanity at this time.

"The defeat was like a mountain. Our army is already in general at this time, so quickly put the marshal on my back, and let's escape together now. After all, the green mountains are left without worrying about no firewood. Saying this, he couldn't help but say hello, and let people pick up the unconscious thorn and run out.

At this time, with him running like this, under the two-phase blows, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers naturally routed faster.

"It's over, it's all over. The marshal fled, and we were completely abandoned. On the other side of the river, Galdi and others saw that Shuai Qi fell, and the people under Shuai Qi ran away without a trace in an instant, and Galdi and others on the other side of the river were naturally completely desperate.

So at this time, in the face of this increasingly awe-inspiring black-clothed army and a one-sided rout. As an official of tens of thousands of households, Gardi gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but drop his weapon, casually found a piece of white cloth and tied it to a spear, and resolutely chose to surrender.

……

On both sides of the river, half an hour later, because of the relationship between people who died, the originally clear water was dyed pale red by blood. And in the Weishui River, which is three or two feet wide, I don't know how many corpses are floating.

Come to think of it, in order to ensure that the water quality of this water is not polluted by these corpses that almost blocked the river. After that, the people living in Weichuan City inevitably came here to help the black-clothed soldiers salvage the corpses together.

"Huh~~~" It was at this time that a horse neighing came.

When he looked closely, he couldn't help but find that a burly black-clothed general turned over and dismounted respectfully when he was still ten steps away from Zhang Shihua. The boots made of cowhide suddenly stepped into the dark red dirt, and after making a "pop" sound, the tall and burly general covered in blood couldn't help but walk quickly to Zhang Shihua's horse, and respectfully bowed to Zhang Shihua on one knee and said: "Enlighten the lord, the invading enemy has now been defeated by our army, please instruct the lord." ”

"Alright, pass it on. Any enemy who lays down his weapons and surrenders will be spared death. And after receiving the captives, let's start cleaning the battlefield. Riding on the war horse, Zhang Shihua looked at the ten thousand households under the tent Shi Thirteen who were kneeling in front of him without sadness or joy, and he couldn't help but order in such a light tone.

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Heard Zhang Shihua's orders. Shi Shisan, who had great respect for Zhang Shihua, couldn't help but raise his voice. Then, he didn't think it was inconvenient to salute with armor on, and after bowing respectfully to Zhang Shihua, he couldn't help but bow his head and retreat quickly.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua, who was riding on a war horse, looked at the bloody river and battlefield not far away, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a slight smile.

……

Three days later, on the fourth day of the ninth month. The news of the Weishui fiasco couldn't help but spread from Bianliang Mansion to Ruzhou as quickly as if it had grown wings, and it also reached the ears of Tai Buhua, who had already come to Ruzhou from Luoyang City.

"My lord, the main force of the Wei clan has been defeated. You say, do we want to continue fighting now? "In the northwest of Ruzhou City, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp of officers and soldiers more than ten miles away, Ha Zhubuhua looked at Tai Buhua, who was sitting in the main seat, and couldn't help asking.

"Hit, what's more? The main route army has been defeated, is there any point in us continuing to fight? Tai Buhua said. However, after saying this, Tai Buhua's face couldn't help but have a gloating expression.

"Hehe, the capital of the thorn has been lost, the newly appointed chief officer and soldier of the Southern Army of the Imperial Court. Less than three months after taking office, 40,000 soldiers and horses were destroyed. In this way, I would like to see if he, the chief officer, is still deserved. Saying it like this, it didn't take much of the smile on his face, but he couldn't help but get more and more rich.

However, such words are too useless, he can say it at this time, but as an official of ten thousand households, he naturally can't say it at this time.

Therefore, when Tai Buhua said these words, Ha Zhu Buhua just lowered his head and pretended not to hear it.

So seeing this, after gloating, Tai Buhua put away his smile and waved his hand: "Okay, pass on my military order, and now immediately retreat." Let's go back to Luoyang now. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Hearing such an order, Ha Thorn Buhua naturally responded to the order as soon as possible.

Therefore, this army of 20,000 officers and soldiers who had just made a long journey from Luoyang City on Nanfu Road to Nanyang Ruzhou couldn't help but set sail again a day after setting up camp. The whole army of 20,000 people returned to Luoyang by the same way.

……

Three days later, the time couldn't help but reach the seventh day of the ninth month. On this day, the situation in the northern part of the Black Army also returned to stability.

Therefore, at such a time, when it was determined that the officers and soldiers of Bianliang Road and Henanfu Road would no longer pose a threat to the black-clothed army, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but prepare to lead the army back.

After all, at this time, a full 70,000 Sichuan troops were already fighting a fierce battle with Guo Yu and them in Yiling. Therefore, Zhang Shihua is indeed quite worried about the situation in the south now.

Therefore, under such circumstances, at noon today, Zhang Shihua temporarily settled in the front hall of the mansion. Zhang Shihua looked at Zhao Jiu and the others, and couldn't help but say: "Now that the situation in Northern Xinjiang has returned to stability, I will lead the army to leave tomorrow."

After all, at this time, the war in the south was in full swing. I'm really worried about the south! ”

And Zhao Jiu, who was in the hall, heard Zhang Shihua's words, he was slightly silent for a while, and then he couldn't help but salute Zhang Shihua and said: "The lord said so, and the minister was speechless to keep the lord." Ministers, I hope that the lord and the horse will succeed and defeat the enemy. I also hope that the lord will take care of his body and not work too hard. ”

"Hey, I really miss you Ah Jiu. To tell you the truth, I really treat you as if I am my sibling, and if it weren't for the chaos in the world and the endless wars, I really don't want to be separated from you. I don't want you, Chongsan and Zhao Er, to stay here alone without the company of relatives and family members.

But there is really no one under your subordinates to think that Ah Jiu is taking on such a heavy responsibility. Although it is for the world, I also feel that there are many places to owe you! ”

"This ......" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Zhao Jiu's eyes couldn't help but turn red with emotion. So at this time, I couldn't help but see him say to Zhang Shihua in a choked voice: "Don't say that, my lord." The lord is rebuilt with Zhao Jiu.

Such kindness, even if Zhao Jiu and I are crushed, it is difficult to repay it. If there is a loss, it is also Zhao Jiu's incompetence, and he is ashamed of his great kindness to the lord, how can the lord say that he is responsible for me. Having said this, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and assured Zhang Shihua sincerely: "Please rest assured, my lord." In the future, even if the minister died, he would never let the Tartars invade the next half inch of land under the lord's rule. ”

"Hurry up, hurry up." Seeing Zhao Jiu like this, Zhang Shihua over there naturally couldn't help but help him up in person. I couldn't help but be moved to pat his hand and said: "With your words, I don't have to worry about it in the north!" Tomorrow I'm leaving, and today I can't help but want to get drunk with you. ”

Zhang Shihua said this, and couldn't help but let Li Wu go down to the banquet.

And this time, everyone can also be said to be drunk. It's just because even if it's a celebration this time, it's a parting......

……

At five o'clock the next day, that is, at eight o'clock in the morning of the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, in addition to the Flying Tiger Army guarding the northern border, the remaining more than 20,000 soldiers could not help but gather in the south of Xuzhou City under Zhang Shihua's order, preparing to leave to support Yiling City, which was thousands of miles away.

"Lord, I will send you off Lord. I wish the lord a successful horse and victory over the enemy, and I hope that the lord will take care of his body and cherish his safety. "South of Xuzhou City, ten miles long pavilion. In addition to Zhao Jiu and Li Chongsan, most of the famous figures in Xuzhou also came here to see off Zhang Shihua.

So under the infection of the parting atmosphere, Zhao Jiu looked at Zhang Shihua who was riding on a war horse, and couldn't help but say this with moist eyes.

"Haha, Cheng Ah Jiuji. There are only tens of thousands of Tartar ears, and defeat is not as good as probing for things. On top of the war horse, Zhang Shihua, who was dressed in uniform, laughed loudly, and his tone was full of confidence. Although people are young, their words and deeds are really impressive.

"Ah Jiu, heavy three...... You now live in the north, where the autumn and winter are bitter. So don't forget to add food and clothing on weekdays. Especially you, Ah Jiu. Eat more and drink less alcohol on weekdays. If you are in a physical condition, you must ask Lang Zhong for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, and don't care about it. Do you understand? ”

"Ah Jiu...... Ah Jiu understood. Ah Jiu Xie, thank you for your compassion. I heard Zhang Shihua tell me when he was leaving. Meticulously like a father and brother, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but tears in his eyes, and he was very moved.

"Alright. It's enough to send it here, and don't send it anymore. In less than a month, you will wait here for good news. Zhang Shihua took a deep breath, his eyes were slightly moist, and he forced a smile on his face. Then, as soon as he said a word, he could not help but turn his horse's head, and under the support of the generals beside him, he went south.

"Ministers, send off the lord!" Seeing this, Zhao Jiu and the others couldn't help but kneel to the ground. Then, he knelt on the ground until Zhang Shihua stayed away.

Because he was in a thousand miles of emergency under his own rule, the nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Zhang Shihua did not bring the people and heavy grain trucks with the army. Instead, they walked along the official road and walked to a county, and the county entertained and ate by itself.

So in this way, the speed of the march is naturally much faster.

Therefore, in this way, when the waterway and the road were rushing non-stop for thirteen days, Zhang Shihua and his party finally rushed to Jiangling City, the center of Zhongxingzhi.

"Bochang, you guys are here, it's really good, it's really good." At noon on September 21, ten miles north of Jiangling City, Zhang Shihua and others, who were the uncle of Zhang Shihua, couldn't help but show joy and said so.

"Uncle, Bochang has seen his uncle. Uncle Lao greeted him here, and the boy was really frightened. At the ten-mile long pavilion, when Zhang Shihua saw his second uncle, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, strode to his second uncle's side, respectfully bowed to his second uncle, and did not forget to say so.

After all, in ancient times when Confucianism was unified and etiquette was strict, unless it was Jianji who claimed the throne of the emperor and ascended to the position of the Son of Heaven. Otherwise, Zhang Shihua will still only be a junior in front of his elders. Even if the black-clothed army was established by Zhang Shihua, in front of his uncle, Zhang Shihua still had to perform the gift of a junior.

He Zhang Shihua is not a real monarch after all, and his second uncle naturally cannot be his subordinate.

If Zhang Shihua doesn't give his second uncle the gift of a junior now, a name of unfilial piety, Zhang Shihua will have to carry it strongly.

However, his second uncle is also an enlightened and intelligent person. It can be said that since Zhang Shihua raised the army, in front of Zhang Shihua, Zhang Shihua's second uncle has never put on any elder shelf.

So at this time, for Zhang Shihua's nephew's salute, his second uncle Zhang Liewen couldn't help but smile and helped Zhang Shihua up as soon as possible.

"It's all my own family, why should Bochang be polite. Bochang has come all the way here, and it must have been hard work. I've now prepared food for the army in the city, so how about we go into the city first? Zhang Liewen asked. At this time, even the decision of such a trivial matter was handed over to Zhang Shihua.

So for this, Zhang Shihua nodded silently, and couldn't help but lead the soldiers and horses into Jiangling City.
