Although the news of the peace talks was widely spread in the military city. However, before the results are officially issued in the form of official documents, no one dares to say whether the outcome of the war and the peace talks will be good or bad. At the head of Jincheng County and the camp on the north bank, there are still many heavily armed armor soldiers on guard. It's just that many wounded in the city and in the battalion have been escorted back to Guangwu County by the commanders on both sides. The infirmary in the county town was full of wounded soldiers in the army for a while.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Zhen didn't know what to say about the Qiang tribe he raised. Before the news of the peace agreement reached his subordinates, he led these troops to capture the weakly defended and low-walled city of Nan'an. Rao is like this, and Liu Yao also maintained a rare restraint. He also sent an envoy to Nan'an County to inform Chen Zhen of the peace talks. However, he never forced Chen An to lead his troops to withdraw from Nan'an. It was only for more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to arrive more than ten miles north of Nan'an City for precaution and surveillance.

Chen Zhen can also see it. Liu Yao did not mention that he should lead his troops to withdraw from Nan'an, so he stayed in Nan'an. Nan'an is almost across the river from the previously besieged city of Jicheng. Chen Zhen could vaguely see the situation in Jicheng when he landed in the city, and when he saw the direction of Jicheng, Liu Zhao's army no longer attacked, so he felt relieved. In today's situation, it is no longer appropriate to take any military action, and besides, he also knows the combat effectiveness of the Diqiang tribe. He was willing to lead his troops to station in Nan'an County, waiting for the results of the peace talks.

Chen Zhen did not wait long, as Gu Zang's messenger came to Nan'an with a handwritten letter from the envoy, he could only obey the military order, lead his troops to withdraw from Nan'an, and return the city to Liu Zhao.

At the same time, Chen Zhen also received an order to lead his troops to respond to the retreat of the remnants of the Liangzhou army in Jicheng and Sangbi. Liu Yao also cooperated and ordered the subordinates besieging Ercheng to withdraw from the siege. Yin Jian and Han Pu retreated from the two cities with the remnants of the state administration of 10,000 people. No one dared to believe that the withdrawal was true, and all the armies were like facing a great enemy. Even if you camp at night, you are all logging and standing in the village. After more than ten days of marching, we crossed the river and reached the boundary of Jinxing County. These soldiers and generals can be regarded as completely relieved.

On the front line of Jincheng, the last 10,000 or so Zhao troops stationed on the south bank of the Great River were also under the leadership of Liu Yue, and the camp slowly retreated. Seeing the last retreating enemy, Zhang Lang at the head of Jincheng City finally put his mind at ease. With the retreat of the Zhao army, the armies in Jincheng County were also ordered to assemble one after another, and then left Jincheng and returned to their stations. After the Guangwu and Jinxing armies in the city withdrew one after another, Zhang Lang counted on the city tower and found that the Jincheng army, which had a full army of more than 2,000 people at the beginning of the war, was now less than 800 people.

Li Yanzhao, whose injuries had not yet healed, waited for this tired army to return in the Guangwu camp. In this cruel war, the Guangwu Army was also sharply reduced from about 2,000 people at the time of departure to less than 1,000. The infantry battalion suffered the heaviest casualties, returning with less than 200 men remaining. And Sun Jianxiong's shooting battalion also suffered more than half of the casualties. The cavalry who were temporarily transferred away and went to the Longxi territory with Chen Zhen to make waves, the losses were still within an acceptable range. Today, there are still nearly 200 people.

After Liu Jiwu returned to the camp, he went to find Li Yanzhao. After the report, he opened the curtain and knelt on the ground, pleading to Li Yanzhao in an astringent voice. Li Yanzhao struggled to get up and stepped forward to support Liu Jiwu, but the wound was touched and his heart was painful. Instantly bared his teeth and grinned. Liu Jiwu saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly stood up to support him, and said: "Sima's injury has not yet healed, so he will recuperate, and don't do everything yourself." The last general went to Longxi this time, crossed the mountains and mountains, and the bodies of the dead robes were not brought back in time...... Shame on Sima! ”

After Li Yanzhao sat back in a few cases, he slowly shook his head and said, "Alas...... Ji Wu, what are you talking about? I can understand that I am away from the expedition and the conditions are limited, and I cannot bring back the body of the fallen robe. I only hope that you can write down the names of these robes afterwards, so that you can set up a tablet for them in the martyrs' shrine to care for their orphans, the elderly, the young and the weak. Comfort the heavenly spirits of these robes......"

When Liu Jiwu heard this, he bowed his head and said, "My subordinates should remember Sima's teachings. The list of the dead has been counted, and it will be sent to Sima in the account later......"

Li Yanzhao nodded approvingly, and said, "Ji Wu, you are in Longxi with Chen's army this time, how is the battle going?" It's a lot to think about. ”

Liu Jiwu got up and said with a wry smile: "More than seven hundred levels." But what good is more? The robes who died in battle will never come back. If the last general can choose, he would rather not have this so-called meritorious service. I just hope to be able to lead the robes to return well, and I am already very relieved in my heart......"

Li Yanzhao shook his head again: "Ji Wu can think so, I agree with it." However, who could have known about this danger before the war? I also led my troops to resist the onslaught of the Zhao army at the camp on the north bank. The bloody battle lasted all night, and his body was wounded several times...... Even Niu Erzhuang...... He...... He also fought to the death to protect me! I was determined to die on the wall, and I didn't deserve to die. The soldiers of Yongdeng County went to the aid in time to hold the camp, and I barely survived...... Alas......"

Liu Jiwu listened to Li Yanzhao's narration, but his expression was sad: "Erzhuang...... Erzhuang Brothers...... He...... He died in battle? ”

He has been in the same village with Niu Erzhuang since he was a child, although he is a few years older than Niu Erzhuang, but he can also be regarded as a playmate who grew up together. This time, I suddenly heard that Niu Erzhuang was killed in battle. A brother who was still alive when he left, when he returned, he only heard the news of his death, but he couldn't even see the last side, and from the bottom of his heart, he felt unacceptable.

"Blame me...... Blame me......" Li Yanzhao's eyes became sour again, buried his face between his hands, and remorseed: "If I had forced him to go with you to guard the pontoon bridge, he would probably still be alive now...... He has followed me since the beginning of his surrender...... But I didn't promote him at all...... He was still a pawn until he died...... I—I regret not being at the beginning! ”

When Liu Jiwu heard this, he also paused on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Erzhuang...... What about the corpses of the two Zhuang brothers? Is it still there? I...... I want to see him again......"

Ji Wu ...... The corpse of the second strong was sent back by me at that time...... It is now long buried. In the Martyrs' Shrine, his tablet has been erected...... When will I miss him...... Let's go and see him in the Martyrs' Shrine......"

When Liu Jiwu heard this, Huo Di stood up immediately, and then didn't care about saying goodbye to Li Yanzhao, turned around and walked out of the tent.

Seeing this, Li Yanzhao hurriedly got up and said in fear: "Ji Wu! You...... Are you going now? ”

Liu Jiwu has already gone out of the account. There was no reply, only the curtain that had been hastily lifted and hastily lowered, swaying in the wind outside.

Li Yanzhao ignored the faint pain of the wound, desperately chased out of the tent, and halfway through, after all, he couldn't stand the pain of the wound tearing, so he had to cover his abdomen, and his back was deeply arched. It's like dried shrimp. Seeing Li Yanzhao's appearance, the nearby soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to help, but were thrown away by Li Yanzhao.

Far away, Li Yanzhao saw Liu Jiwu go to the stable to lead the horse, and then he was about to trot all the way out of the camp. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Li Yanzhao had to go to Pang Xi's tent, ask for leave for himself and Li Yanzhao, and then go out of the tent and strive to chase outside the camp......

Half an hour later, Li Yanzhao chased him outside the Martyrs' Shrine, but saw that the old guards of the ancestral hall were all outside the ancestral hall. In the Martyrs' Shrine, Liu Jiwu's heart-rending cry was heard.

"Erzhuang! Erzhuang...... Half a moon gone...... Why did you go! How can you die! What about your mother! Liu Jiwu's crying was accompanied by a clanging sound, which was obviously caused by the objects in the ancestral hall being knocked to the ground by him unintentionally or unintentionally. Seeing this, Li Yanzhao was even more anxious in his heart, stepped forward and pushed the door open, and went straight to the ancestral hall, shouting as he walked: "Ji Wu! Ji Wu! ”

Loud noises could still be heard in the ancestral hall. Li Yanzhao took a big stride and went straight in. However, it was a wound on his body, and he was in pain for a while. He covered his wound and stood on the ground, and the chief who was outside saw this and hurriedly came in to support him.

With the help of Shi Chang, Li Yanzhao barely stood up straight. He cast a grateful look at the chief, then signaled that he could go, and when the chief let go of him, he walked towards the shrine again.

The ancestral hall was already in disarray. Liu Jiwu was holding Niu Erzhuang's tablet, leaning his back on the offering table, crying while hitting the offering table with his head. The tablets placed on the table fell and fell, and they were in a messy state.

Li Yanzhao took a few steps, stepped forward and grabbed Liu Jiwu's hand, and shouted, "Ji Wu! Calm down! ”

Liu Jiwu shook off Li Yanzhao, held Niu Erzhuang's tablet with both hands, and fell into deep grief in his heart.

"Ji Wu! You can't be resurrected from the dead! Li Yanzhao held Liu Jiwu's shoulders with both hands and said bitterly.

"Go away!" Liu Jiwu struggled to break free of Li Yanzhao, but in the process of struggling, he accidentally hit the wound on Li Yanzhao's abdomen. Li Yanzhao suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard in the abdomen, and the fire burned and hurt. Cold sweat broke down on his forehead, and then he fell to the ground, not saying a word.

Liu Jiwu knocked Li Yanzhao to the ground at once, and he was also dumbfounded. He sat down on the ground holding Niu Erzhuang's tablet and muttered, "Li Sima, I didn't mean to...... I didn't mean to......"

Li Yanzhao sat on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and glanced at Liu Jiwu regretfully. Liu Jiwu was still in a state of madness at this time. Li Yanzhao also knows in his heart what kind of blow it is to Liu Jiwu to lose this playmate who grew up together since childhood.

Li Yanzhao had to sigh. Then he endured the sharp pain of the wound and limped to the outside of the ancestral hall.

Walk outside the ancestral hall. Li Yanzhao quietly called the chief to the side, and then stuffed him with a hanging of money, and said in a sad tone: "Liu Bairen's playmate who grew up together since childhood died, and he felt uncomfortable, and he made some chaos in the ancestral hall...... When he leaves, please clean up ......"

Shi Chang bowed his head and said respectfully: "That's nature, Sima, please rest assured." ”

Li Yanzhao nodded, and said: "Today's matter, I hope that Shi Chang can keep his mouth shut." ”

Shi Chang nodded: "Sima, please rest assured, his subordinates will restrain their subordinates, and they will not say a word about today's affairs." ”

Li Yanzhao patted Shi Chang on the shoulder, then turned around and returned the way he came. Behind him, Liu Jiwu's painful cries and whimpering were still heard......
