At this time, Zhang Bao put away his laughing expression, sighed and said: "Sir, in today's battle, our army won a big victory. However, when the war ended, I saw floating corpses all over the field, dead Yellow Turban generals and Han officers and soldiers, these people are buried here forever, and my heart is indescribably dull. ”

"Does the general think these people deserve to die or not?" Xi Zhicai did not pick up Zhang Bao's topic, but asked another question.

"This." Zhang Bao pondered for a long time, but didn't know how to answer.

Seeing Zhang Bao like this, he took him and said: "The general doesn't know in his heart whether these people deserve to die, it's like a contradiction, fighting will never kill people, whether it is our army or the enemy." Therefore, the general looks at this unsolvable problem here, and it is better to think about how the Yellow Turban Army dies fewer people every time it fights. ”

"I understand what my husband means, but I always feel like I can't get around it. I always feel that I led their idols to death, and I feel guilty about these people. Zhang Bao said with a pale face.

"Dare to ask the general, how do the generals and soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army compare with the Han army?" Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes and asked.

"From top to bottom, the Yellow Turban Army is inferior to the Han Army. I'm even worse than Huangfu Song. This Zhang Bao blurted out without thinking, this is too straightforward.

"Why is there a battle today, why is the general victorious, and the emperor is defeated?" Xi Zhicai asked again.

Zhang Bao said with some uncertainty: "Because it should be Huangfu Song's light enemy, and the gap between the strength of the two armies is very large, so in this battle, our army won and the Han army was defeated." ”

Xi Zhicai analyzed: "What the general said is not bad, in today's battle, my view is indeed as the general said, Huangfu Song is indeed underestimated by the enemy." If I confront the general, I must first regard him as weak, retreat one after another, and lure the Yellow Turban Army into hot pursuit, and then the Yellow Turban Army will definitely not be like everyone hugging each other now. At that time, I am reaping one by one, and dare to ask the general if there is any hope of victory? This battle Emperor Fu Song is too light on the enemy, but once he puts the general on the same opponent, the general will win so easily? ”

When Xi Zhicai said something, Zhang Bao's back was a little cold. If Huangfu Song uses such a strategy, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Army will lose a large number of troops at that time, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Without waiting for Zhang Bao to speak, Xi Zhicai continued: "So instead of asking the dead soldiers here for a silent service, the general should make a living for the living soldiers." ”

"Mr. is reasonable, it is Zhang Bao's horns. Mr.'s words made Zhang Bao wake up. Saying that, Zhang Bao gave Xi Zhicai a deep gift.

"The general can't, it's called imprisonment here, but the general who has never been treated badly is grateful, the general must not be like this." Xi Zhicai hurriedly helped Zhang Bao up.

"Ming Gong is a benevolent and righteous person, so he is grateful for Ming Gong's respect and is willing to serve Ming Gong as the Lord. I don't know if Ming Gong can let Ming Gong serve the work of dogs and horses? Xi Zhicai knelt on the ground and said. In fact, the drama has its own considerations, and the most important thing is that loyalty to the Han family has no ultimate interest relationship with itself. After all, Xi Zhicai is a scholar from a poor family, not a member of a family of gate valves, so he can recognize Zhang Bao as the master, otherwise you can try another person, even if the world is full of heroes, there are very few family members who work for Zhang Bao, and the reason for this is that Zhang Bao is a thief after all.

Zhang Bao hurriedly picked up Xi Zhicai, and was so excited that he spoke incoherently: "The gentleman of our army helps each other, like a tiger with wings." Sir does not know that our army is really suffering from those who have no sirs. The Yellow Turban generals charged into battle, and they were at a loss to make suggestions. I have to be a gentleman, such as Gaozu Zhang Liangye. ”

"If you accept the lord's false praise, you dare not be ashamed." Xi Zhicai said modestly again and again.

Here, Zhang Bao has the joy of officially recognizing the lord of the show, but the Han army camp has no joy.

Huangfu Song's face was a little old at this time: "The defeat in this battle is because I underestimated the enemy." No wonder you're waiting. In the coming day, I will go to the court to blame myself. ”

"General, we are very ashamed of our defeat. In the coming day, he will fight bravely to kill the enemy to repay the general. Everyone said on their feet. Although Huangfu Song is strict in managing the army, all the gains from the battlefield are rewarded to the soldiers. In this era of rampant corruption, no money has ever been deducted, so it is deeply supported by everyone, and now everyone is taking responsibility for this failure.

Although the Han is rotten, it is orthodox after all. After all, the Han army is the Han army of the Son of Heaven, and it has its own complicated system. I don't want the Yellow Turban Army, no matter whether they win or lose, the Zhang family brothers, as the supreme leaders, are directly on the battlefield, but the Son of Heaven of the Han Army sits high in the palace, and they need a detailed report regardless of victory or defeat.

Victory, of course, as a counterinsurgency general, added to the knighthood. If you lose, of course, you need someone to take responsibility. But generally speaking, victory, the main general will be rewarded. defeated, and his subordinates carried the black cauldron. Huangfu Song has never let his subordinates carry the black cauldron, so this is also the reason why his subordinates support it.

"Well, needless to say, defeat is defeat, and we should learn from defeat. Wait for the next victory. Huangfu Song said with a hammer.

"Gongwei, I didn't expect the thief Zhang Bao to be so proficient in the art of war. We lost this battle unjustly. Huangfu Song said with a frown.

Zhu Jun said: "Although the leader of the thieves knows the art of war, the most important thing is that there is a big gap between the strength of the enemy and our army. I have already listed the Heavenly Sun Sun Jian as the Zuojun Sima. I want to come here at this time on the way to support. ”

"Oh? Sun Jian? Could it be Sun Jian in Pi County? Huangfu Song said in surprise.

Zhu Jun smiled and said, "Yes, this is the person." Not only Sun Jian, but also Cao Mengde came to support. ”

"Cao Mengde? Good for you, Gongwei, please come so good that you didn't tell me earlier. Huangfu Song said depressedly.

"Haha, Huangfu Song is not in a hurry, these days are just a good time to recuperate. When Cao Mengde and Sun Wentai arrive, they will be able to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in one sentence. Zhu Jun laughed.

Speaking of this, Sun Jian, Sun Wentai is indeed a hero. This person is said to be a descendant of Sun Wu, a military strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period. When he was seventeen years old, he went to Qiantang by boat with his father, and on the way, he encountered the pirate Hu Yu and others who robbed the merchants' property and shared the spoils on the shore.

When the merchant travelers saw this scene, they were so frightened that they stopped moving, and the passing ships did not dare to move forward. Seeing this, Sun Jian said to his father: "These robbers can be caught, please let me do it." His father said, "It's not something you can do." ”

Ignoring his father's obstruction, Sun Jian strode to the shore with his sword, and as he walked, he commanded east and west with his hands, as if he was assigning and deploying people to outflank and round up the pirates. When the pirates saw this from afar, they mistook the officers and soldiers for their arrest, panicked, threw away their goods, and fled in all directions. Sun Jian refused to give up and chased a pirate back, and his father was shocked.

Sun Jian's reputation was shocked, and he was recruited and appointed by the county and officially became a member of the Han army. Sun Jian fought bravely, killed thieves many times during his tenure, and slowly became more and more famous. finally entered the ears of the court bigwigs.

This time, Zhu Jun just thought of Sun Jian's bravery, so he played the Son of Heaven and sent Sun Jian to the rescue.

As for Cao Mengde, he is Cao Song's son. And Cao Song is ranked as the third duke, so Cao Mengde's prestige is even more famous than Sun Jian. In Luoyang City, when the Yellow Turban Army was still in Taiping Road, Zhang Bao met with it. This time, they were also transferred by Zhu Jun to support the imperial court.
