Back in the camp, everyone was tired and speechless, and Yuanhang even stretched out his tongue and exhaled repeatedly.

After waiting for half an hour, Sun Ke led the army back to the camp, and Situ Hao and Yuanhang personally went out to greet him. The soldiers brought the food into the tent, and everyone didn't care about changing their clothes, and they devoured the food with blood stains, and they didn't eat for nearly a day, and they had to fight with all their might, and everyone had exhausted all their physical strength.

After the rest, Situ Hao summoned the generals to discuss the military situation in the big tent.

Sun Ke told Situ Hao: "Marshal Qiyu, in this battle, our army lost one general, eight generals, and more than 30,000 soldiers. ”

Situ Hao's face tightened after hearing this, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Which general died in battle?" ”

"Marshal Hui, it's General Pan Yinhu under my account." Sun Ke's first general replied. Yuanhang looked to know this person, it was General Zuo Long, the main general of the back hall.

Situ Hao sighed and said softly: "Go to the back hall of the book, and bury your life." ”

"Marshal." Sun Ke called, but he stopped talking, glanced at Situ Hao and lowered his head.

"General Sun has something to say, please speak." Situ Hao saw that he seemed to have something unspeakable, and raised his head and asked.

"Yes." Sun Ke owes his back, ponders for a while and says: "I have three Du brothers as generals, two dead and one wounded in today's battle, and there is only one old father in his family. ”

Yuanhang was shocked when he heard this, the ancient battlefield was really a horse leather shroud. The three brothers went, but only one of them had to return. Even the general had to be buried in place, and his family couldn't even find a grave. Thinking of this, Yuanhang said: "This is human nature, just let him return to his hometown." ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense." Situ Hao glared at Yuanhang, and said sharply: "Outside, those who return home without stopping the war will be punished as escape, and they will be killed." ”

Yuanhang stuck out his tongue, why are you so strict, the rule is that the dead are alive, as long as you agree, don't say who knows?

Situ Hao turned to Sun Ke and said, "Remove him from his position as a partial general, stay in the camp, and resume his position as a general after the war." ”

"Thank you, Marshal, for making it happen." Sun Ke stood up and thanked Situ Hao.

Yuanhang blinked and looked at them, and said in his heart: It turns out that as a general, you must go to war with the army, there are really many rules, so let him pretend to be sick until the end of the war.

"Voyage, in the future, the two armies should not suddenly use cold arrows, will it not damage the prestige of our army." Situ Hao turned his head and reprimanded Yuantuan, and then said: "But I will make a contribution for you today, otherwise the enemy's rear army will kill, and our army will only be afraid that there will be no return." ”

Yuanhang smiled awkwardly, just thinking about a quick decision, but he didn't expect to get a success, character.

"The soldiers and horses will rest for a few days, and then go to attack the city on a later day." Situ Hao glanced at the generals and said, "Everyone is tired today, rest early, General Sun still needs to be cautious to protect the camp to prevent the enemy from attacking at night." ”

"Yes." The generals got up and left one after another, Situ Hao shouted to stop the voyage and said, "You stay, I have something to say to you." ”

Yuanhang wanted to go back to rest earlier, and after hearing Situ Hao's words, he raised his ass and sat down again.

After Situ Hao waited for everyone to retreat, he put his hand on his forehead, lowered his head and stopped talking. Yuanhang looked up, only to find that he was extremely tired, but as a marshal, he had to grit his teeth and stand tall. With a tremor in his heart, he got up and walked over to him.

"Father-in-law, but overworked?" Yuanhang asked softly.

Situ Hao was speechless, but tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he said with a little choked: "Tens of thousands of soldiers, they will never be able to go back to their hometown." ”

Yuanhang hurriedly comforted: "Father-in-law, don't blame yourself, how can there be immortals in wars since ancient times, as long as we capture Guzhou, those soldiers can rest in peace." ”

Situ Hao nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Today was just a test of the truth, but unexpectedly, there was a big battle. In the first battle, the enemy adopted the strategy of encirclement, apparently in order to inflict heavy losses on our troops and then confront us. ”

"Hmm." Yuanhang nodded thoughtfully. I had also noticed it when I passed by, but I was far away from the official road, and I was careless for a while, and I never thought that the enemy would place the ambush here.

"Father-in-law, let's rest for the time being, and then I'll come up with a plan to discuss with you when I go back." There is no plan for the voyage, but the eyelids are fighting up and down and I am in a hurry to go back to sleep.

"Well, let's go rest." Situ Hao waved his hand and said.

Feng Qianshan and Zhang Yi returned to Guzhou together, Zhang Zong opened the city gate and welcomed them in, and when he saw that Feng Qianshan was injured, he hurriedly ordered to go down and call a military doctor to treat him.

Zhang Yi said with a little anger: "The two armies have already been agreed to encircle, why did our army start the war before Marshal Feng arrived?" so that Situ Hao could not be captured alive. ”

One of the generals stood up and said, "Lord, our army fought with the enemy generals, and the opposing army suddenly shot with hidden arrows, and the generals were filled with righteous indignation, which led to an early battle. ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The fourth brother is not angry, although our army did not capture the enemy commander in this battle, but only lost 10,000 people but killed tens of thousands of enemies, which is also a great victory, and it should be celebrated. Although Zhang Zong was also a little annoyed, after all, he was very happy to win the first battle, and ordered him to go down and hold a celebration banquet in the mansion.

Zhang Cheng received the news of the defeat of the Great Liang Army, but he frowned secretly and called the jungle to discuss. The jungle pondered for a long time and couldn't find a good solution, and both of them were troubled.

"Cheng'er, for the sake of today, it is better to discuss with Marshal Situ." The jungle can not get out in Guzhou, and I don't know when Daliang will attack the city, although the soldiers of Xingzhou have been arranged, but Daliang does not come to attack the city and he does not dare to send troops to open the state, if Zhang Yi leads the troops back, the soldiers of Xingzhou will die without a place to be buried.

"But if the gates of the city are closed, how can they send out?" Zhang Cheng asked with a sad face.

"It's better than that." The jungle whispered. After getting up, he paused, and said, "When to attack the city depends on Marshal Situ." ”

"It's okay, later the Third Emperor Brother set up a celebration banquet in the mansion, and I mentioned it." Zhang Cheng nodded in response.

"Well, Cheng'er will go write the letter first and prepare the token." Jungle commanded.

Zhang Zong set up a banquet in the palace to reward the generals, Zhang Cheng saw that Zhang Zong was happy at this time, got up and raised his glass and said: "Little brother respects the emperor's brother for a cup, congratulations to me Xiaoliang Qi's victory." ”

"Good!" Zhang Zong was also happy to see the fifth brother raise his glass, so he took the wine glass and drank it. Zhang Cheng didn't sit down, and continued: "The younger brother is unwell, and he is very ashamed that he failed to kill with the two imperial brothers. Now my Xingzhou soldiers have not made an inch, so my younger brother has a reluctant request. ”

Zhang Zong looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile, put down the wine glass and said, "The fifth brother has something to say. ”

Zhang Cheng bowed slightly and said: "In the battle of Mustang Slope, although my Xiaoliang soldiers defeated the enemy, they still killed more than 10,000 people. These are the souls of my little Liang, and now we are drinking here, but they are still dead in the wilderness. The younger brother asked for an order, and was willing to send Xingzhou soldiers to Yemapo to bring back my warriors, so that his family could claim them, and they would be counted as safe in the ground. ”

The hearts of the people who said something were not good, and the audience was silent. Zhang Zong was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "What the fifth brother said is good, I should take them back, I have worked so hard for the fifth brother." ”

"Don't dare, little brother is embarrassed." Zhang Cheng sat down and glanced at the jungle and laughed to himself.

After returning to tomorrow, Zhang Cheng sent his soldiers out of the city and prepared a number of carriages to carry the corpses to the wild horse slope. Two people took advantage of the night to break away from the team and run towards the Daliang military camp.

The voyage was still asleep, and the soldiers outside the tent urgently reported that the marshal had an invitation. Reluctantly, he got up and walked half-asleep to Situ Hao's tent.

"Father-in-law, why are you in such a hurry?" Yawning, Yuanhang lifted the curtain and walked in.

Situ Hao held the letter in his hand and said: "The five princes sent a letter to make an appointment to attack the city, and after we dragged the soldiers and horses of Guzhou, he sent troops from Xingzhou to attack Kaizhou." ”

Yuanhang thought for a moment and asked: "Why don't the five princes come to the aid of Guzhou City, if we can open the city gate, our army can drive straight into Guzhou and take Guzhou in one fell swoop." ”

"The letter of the five princes made it clear that 20,000 soldiers from Xingzhou were brought this time, and there were 20,000 in the city. Zhang Zong had already scattered the soldiers under his tent, and now he only had a few thousand soldiers in his hands, so he couldn't do anything. Situ Hao handed over the letter.

"Then it will be set after the fifteenth, first, our army urgently needs to rest, and second, we must also set aside time for the five princes." Yuanhang pondered for a long time, and if you deliberately delay the time, you can also think carefully.

"It's okay, when we rush to attack Guzhou, so that they can't return to the army, the five princes can succeed." Situ Hao nodded and said, "In this case, I will return to the Fifth Prince, and attack Guzhou in 15 days." ”

Yuanhang nodded, yawned again, got up and said, "Father-in-law, then I'll go back to rest first, I'm really tired." ”

Situ Hao smiled, waved his hand again and again, and walked out of the tent after sailing to give a salute.

The moon in the air is bent, the stars are dotted, I looked at it from afar, and sighed, the good night is long, but it is a pity that there is no beauty beside me, but it is a pity that the moonlight is not there.

He bowed his head and walked into his tent, and met a soldier who saw Yuan Voyage slightly sideways. Yuanhang didn't care, and when he walked to the soldier's side, he suddenly felt that his neck was tight, and he was already being held by the man's hand, and at the same time, a faint fragrance wafted by, and a crisp voice sounded in his ears. "If you scream, I'll kill you."

The voyage immediately had a lot of energy, and it was only after I finished saying how good it would be to have a beauty, and I said that I would come. But how is she? Did she come back again to kill me? Yuanhang has heard that the person is Du Wen.

"Don't talk, go back to your tent." Du Wen let go of the hand that was holding his neck, but used a hard object against Yuanhang's waist.

Yuanhang knew that she had a dagger, and hurriedly said: "Be careful, don't trip over the dark road this night, if you trip, my life will be gone." ”

"Hugh nonsense, hurry up." Du Wen looked around and pushed Yuanhang's waist.

"I'll go, I'll go." The voyage had no choice but to go to the tent.

After entering the big tent, Du Wen let go of him, threw the items on his waist on the ground, and sat on the bed.

Yuan Voyage looked at the ground, it was actually a thick branch, his nose was almost out of breath, and he raised his head and glared at Du Wen fiercely.

Du Wen shrugged her shoulders at him and said, "Get me some food, I'm hungry."
