The red sun is already gradually moving westward, and when the slanting sun at dusk in the winter season of October is reflected on the Guandu battlefield, it has not been able to bring some warmth to this battlefield. On the contrary, when the pools of blood on the battlefield that have not yet dried up, and the broken swords scattered all over the battlefield are dyed into golden, silver-white and other colors by the light of the slanting sun in the west, and then disrupted by the dust and sand and debris blown up by the gusts of cold wind in this winter season, the entire battlefield is full of depression and desolation, which will make people sigh and sigh at a glance.

On Cao Ying's lookout, Lu Ren tightened the cloak on his body, looked at this bleak and bleak battlefield, let out a long sigh, and shook his head gently. Guo Jia had just climbed the lookout at this time, and after hearing Lu Ren's sigh, he also sighed lightly, stepped forward and patted Lu Ren's shoulder and said, "Yihao, what are you thinking?" ”

Lu Ren sighed again: "I don't know, my heart is very messed up now...... Lao Guo, did I go too far with the fire I set last night? That sea of fire burned a lot of people. ”

Guo Jia was slightly stunned: "Why do you think so?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I have been on this lookout, and I can see clearly what kind of miserable situation those who were drenched in fish oil and burned in the fire. To tell you the truth, although I set this fire, I was terrified to see it......"

Guo Jia shook his head gently: "Say that you have changed a lot, in fact, you are still the same...... Softhearted. This is the battlefield, if you don't be fierce to the enemy, then you will not be able to die in the future. ”

Lu Ren said: "I know this is a battlefield, but I really think what I did yesterday was too cruel." People say don't do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and I never thought I would do such a cruel thing. Seeing that the Yuan soldiers who were being burned were wailing and miserable, I wanted to rush over and give them a knife happily. Let them die happily, not after going through so much torture and suffering...... Alas! ”

Guo Jia sighed again and said, "You, you knew this was the case, so why did you bother in the first place? In other words, you shouldn't have been on this battlefield in the first place. ”

Lu Ren glanced sideways at Guo Jia, and sighed lightly again: "Maybe Lao Guo, you are right, I shouldn't have come to this battlefield at all." There was such a battle last night. I also thought about it all night here. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask myself secretly, I just wanted to avenge Wan'er. Now that I've done such an excesse, should I really do it again? Maybe it's inevitable to kill people and set fires when the two armies are clashing, but for the sake of Wan'er's revenge, I have involved other people. It can even cost the lives of other unrelated people because of my own hatred. Is it right or wrong for me to do this? ”

Guo Jia said: "I persuaded you very early on, asking you not to be lost in hatred, but where could you listen to it at that time? Now you seem to have come to your senses, but ...... You've already done it, and it's too late to regret it. ”

Lu Ren's expression darkened, and he looked at the battlefield again but did not speak.

Guo Jia and Lu Ren stood side by side, looked at the battlefield together, and said softly: "Now the sky will be dark. You haven't closed your eyes since yesterday. Don't stand here stupidly, go back to your tent and get some sleep. ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "No." I'm still waiting. ”

"Wait for someone?" Guo Jiaqi said: "Who are you waiting for here?" Didn't Zhao Yu's girl come back with her lord safe and sound? The girl was probably asleep in the tent by this time. ”

"I'm not waiting for her, I'm waiting for Zhang He and Gao Ran."

Originally, Zhang He and Gao Ran should have come to Cao Ying to surrender before Cao Cao returned from Guandu, but the current situation is that I don't know where a little change has occurred, and Zhang He and Gao Ran have not come to surrender until now. Lu Ren was afraid of an accident, so he had already sent someone to investigate, and the news he got was that although Zhang He and Gao Lan's army did not continue to attack Cao Ying, they never returned to Yuan Village, so they stayed between the camps of Cao and Yuan. Lu Ren calculated according to the historical records, and the plan was that Zhang He and Gao Ran were engaged in an ideological struggle. But as long as there are no accidents, these two goods will still surrender to Cao Cao, or maybe they are waiting for Cao Cao to come back from the Black Nest, and then they will surrender directly to Cao Cao in person.

However, Guo Jia didn't react for a while, and was stunned: "What? Are you waiting for the two of them? What are you waiting for them? They have been defeated, and now they need to rest, and even if they want to attack again, it will definitely not be so fast! ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "Your old Guo has always been much better than me in calculating people's skills, why are you not clear to me now?" If my expectations are correct, when Zhang He and Gao Ran come again, they are not here to fight, but to surrender. ”

“……”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and figured out the mystery, and shook his head with a smile: "Having said that, there is no need for you to wait here, right?" ”

"Mainly, I want to ask these two about something."

Saying that, Lu Ren looked at the Yuan army's camp from afar, and said to himself: "The Wuchao is done, the Yuan army's heart will be chaotic, and Cao Gong will immediately launch a full-scale counterattack." I just want to take this opportunity to ask Zhang He and Gao Ran where Yuan Shang's tent is. When it came time to attack Yuan's army's camp, Yuan Shao's tent was easy to find, but Yuan Shang's tent was not so easy to find. ”

"Are you trying to ......?"

Lu Ren lowered his head and sighed lightly: "I'm tired, tired, and scared, now I just want to end all this as soon as possible, and then quietly go back to my home and my master." At the end of the day, I'm probably not a good fit for this era at all, so it's better to leave early when I'm done. ”

"Era?"

Lu Ren smiled a little sadly: "I remember that when I used to read books, every time I saw how brave and majestic those ancient famous generals were, my heart would always be full of blood, and I also dreamed that I could make contributions and become famous like them." But after all this experience, I suddenly felt more and more that I couldn't do it.

"A famous general has ten thousand bones, and what famous general has not stepped on a mountain of bones under his feet? Even if I am taking the road of rejuvenating the country and benefiting the people, I always feel that I am helping a group of generals who are about to become famous to trample on the bones......

Glancing at Guo Jia, seeing that Guo Jia was looking at him like a strange person, Lu Ren smiled bitterly and said, "You dead old Guo, don't stare at me like that, okay?" I know that this is a battlefield, and if you don't kill someone, you will be killed, and what I said is also the kind words of some women, and I am just sad and complaining.

"I still have a good idea of what to do in this situation. But seriously, people like me who like to live a peaceful and comfortable life are really not suitable for this troubled era. So now I just want to get rid of what happened to me as soon as possible, and then go back to seclusion quietly. At the very least, I can still be out of sight, and maybe I'll be able to live happily ever after this is done. ”

Guo Jia said: "If it was in the past, I would definitely scold you, saying that you kid is too unaware of how to grow." But now I'm going to agree with you. You are in such a nature that it is useless for others to insist on you, and ...... Maybe the path you kid chooses is the right one, and it's the right path for you. Ay? But isn't Xu Yu in the camp? Why don't you go and ask him first, you have to wait here for Zhang He and Gao Ran to come down? ”

Lu Ren sighed helplessly: "Isn't he drinking with Cao Gong at this moment?" I wanted to ask him where Yuan Shang's tent was, but Cao Gong also wanted to find out what Yuan Jun's reality was from him! Who's bigger and more important in comparison? Also, when he came to vote yesterday, I was busy helping Cao Zilian to reorganize the army, and I lost some courtesy before I had time to entertain him, and he Xu You is a very narrow-minded person, so he must be holding a grudge against me at this time, where will he say anything more to me? ”

In fact, Lu Ren still had a few words that were difficult to say, that is, at that time, Lu Ren was complaining in his heart about why Xu You came so late, which caused him to worry about Zhao Yu's safety for so long, so he naturally was a little dissatisfied with Xu Yu and neglected. And Xu You is a guy with a small belly and chicken intestines, Lu Ren doesn't want to put a hot face on his cold ass.

Guo Jia smiled: "That's too." Xu Yu is greedy and stingy by nature, and Gongda also said that this person is narrow-minded and very resentful. In this way, if you want to complete the things in your heart, you can only wait here for Zhang He and Gao Ran to come down. But when it comes to the counterattack, do you plan to personally go into battle and kill Yuan's camp? ”

Lu Ren still shook his head: "My body has been damaged, and my Dao strength is not much, it is impossible for me to fight like the previous few times now, otherwise how could I allow Yuan Shang to escape like that in front of the two armies some time ago?" When it comes to capturing and killing Yuan Shang, I have to go back and ask generals such as Wen Yuan, Yuan Rang, and Zhang Xiu, who are still good friends with me. I hope that it will be done in one fell swoop, and I really don't want to delay any longer. ”

Guo Jia patted Lu Ren on the shoulder again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

————————————————————

"Hahaha...... Come, Ziyuan, I'll toast you again! ”

In Cao Cao's tent at this moment, Cao Cao, who had returned from the victory of Wuchao, had already taken off his armor and sat down with Xu You for a drink while wearing only a pair of Chinese clothes and pajamas. At this moment, although Cao Cao had been fighting for a whole day and night, and his body was a little tired, his face was red and radiant. Just looking at Cao Cao's non-stop cup and always persuading him to drink, he knew that if Cao Cao hadn't taken into account that the war had not really ended, Yuan Shao might have made a desperate attack at any time, so that Cao Cao would not dare to completely relax and replace wine with tea, I was afraid that Cao Cao would have been drunk at this time.

Xu You looked very polite, but there was also a bit of compliment in his polite words: "Cao Gong's class is among the three princes, but you are just a cloth cloth, how can you be treated so politely?" ”

"Hey, Ziyuan is so wrong!"

Cao Cao, who had won a big victory, was in a very good mood at this time, waved his hand and smiled: "Ziyuan and I are old friends, how dare you be comparable to a famous man?" Today's drink, Ziyuan doesn't have to be so humble, I don't call myself lonely, Ziyuan can call me Mengde, so it is more close! Hahaha......"

If Lu Ren was present, I am afraid that he would secretly curse in his heart: "The dead old Cao is cocking his tail again!" (To be continued.) )
