This team of men and horses from the flank is Zhao Yun from Wancheng 10,000 foot soldiers, at a glance it can be seen that they are completely different from the defenders of Xiangyang City, the whole body is black clothes and black armor, the steel knife in the hand is extremely sharp, can easily cut off the spears and waist knives used by the Cao army, their spears can be bent at a large angle without breaking, and the cooperation between each other is more skilled than the elite of the Qingzhou army, originally under the impact of Zhao Yun and his cavalry, the Cao army was already a little difficult to resist, and suddenly killed such a team of men and horses on the way, Cao's army was suddenly defeated,

Seeing this scene, Cao Ying felt a sharp pain in his head, shouted and dismounted, and hurriedly rescued him left and right, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan fled in the direction of Chen Guo in Yuzhou, Zhao Yun's cavalry was in front, and the infantry was behind, covering all the way.

Suddenly, the wind in the sky, the torrential rain poured down, Zhao Yun is cautious, and loves nurses, fighting in bad weather is always likely to cause accidental damage, so he ordered to choose the high ground to set up camp, and he took a team of cavalry to rush back to Xiangyang in the rain, he still does not know that Lu Bu is dead, and always regards the fleeing Lu Bu as a heart disease, maybe there is a providence in the dark, this heavy rain that fell in Yuzhou, Sili and northern Jingzhou, helped Liu Xin catch up with Dong Zhuo, Beigong Boyu, Liu Bao and others, But it also allowed Cao Ying to escape Zhao Yun's pursuit, which can be regarded as making people into creation.

At this time, Xiangyang City was not only immersed in the joy of defeating the invading enemy again, but also a strange scene appeared, the whole Xiangyang was shining brightly, but the east side of the moat was pouring rain, and the rain that poured down seemed to be in a hurry to wash away the blood left over from the fierce battle just now.

Ma Yun walked down the city tower and personally visited and comforted the wounded soldiers, although this battle was won, it was also a tragic victory, after two cruel battles, there were only about 10,000 of the 50,000 recruits who had not had time to be incorporated into the major legions, and the 5,000 elite Flying Tiger guards were now less than 1,000 people.

Seeing the bodies of the fallen soldiers constantly being carried on stretchers and sent to the martyrs' cemetery in the south of the city, Ma Yun's mood was extremely sad, just now it was still some fresh life, and in a blink of an eye, he drove west, but the faces of some of the families of the fallen soldiers who heard the news did not have too much sadness, but there was a look of excitement and excitement, this phenomenon made Ma Yun difficult to understand, maybe this is the difference between the attitude of the ancients and the present towards life and death,

A carriage in the city galloped over, Ma Yun recognized that this was the vehicle of the state pastor's mansion, and didn't know what happened in the mansion, so he hurriedly greeted him, but saw Zhu Qian walking down from the carriage, the child in her belly was already quite old, and her movements were obviously a little slow, Zhu Qian had a hard time returning to the mansion for several years, not to mention that she was still pregnant with Liujia, Ma Yun's heart couldn't help but twitch, and asked repeatedly: "What happened in the mansion." ”

Zhu Qian shook her head and said, "There are sisters from the Zhu family who are patrolling back and forth, and the house is very good." ”

Ma Yun blamed: "Since there is nothing to do in the house, what are you doing here, watching this bloody scene is not good for the child in the belly." ”

Zhu Qian is one year older than Ma Yun, and she can be regarded as an older mother in that era, how can Ma Yun not let her be extra careful, but Zhu Qian listened to Ma Yun's words, her eyes turned red, she shed tears, and choked up: "Madam, Rui'er has no news yet, and there is chaos outside, I, I ......"

Ma Yun sighed and comforted: "Don't worry too much, the Jingzhou territory has always been peaceful, and there is a team of guards guarding her, it will be fine, I also interrogated a few prisoners just now, Rui'er should not have met them, the documents sent to the counties and counties will be sent out in the morning, wait a minute, there will definitely be a reply soon." ”

While talking, Zhao Yun rode over from outside the city, although he was drenched from head to foot by the heavy rain, he couldn't wash away the blood stains all over his body, the original snow-white robe was already mottled, Zhao Yun's eyesight was good, and he saw Zhu Qian of Ma Yun standing at the gate of the city from afar, and hurriedly came to the front, turned over and bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "The rescue of the last general is late, which frightened the two ladies, please punish the two ladies." ”

Ma Yun hurriedly returned the salute and said: "General Zhao, please get up, you came thousands of miles to help, and defeated Cao Ying, only merit, what is the crime, it's just that Cao Ying's men and horses appeared suddenly, and even General Zhang couldn't rush back, I don't know where General Zhao got the news." ”

Zhao Yun stood up and arched his hand and said: "The last general didn't know that there was an enemy sneak attack on Xiangyang, it was really a mistake, here's the thing, at dusk yesterday, the last general was patrolling the military camp outside Wuguan, and suddenly saw Rui'er, and then he learned ......"

Zhu Qian suddenly asked nervously: "General Zhao, Rui'er, she ......"

Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Mrs. Qian, Rui'er was left in the barracks by the last general, there is a special person to take care of it, it is very safe, I saw Rui'er, the last general knew that Lu Bu had attacked Xiangyang, the last general had fought with Lu Bu, knew his martial arts, worried that Xiangyang would be lost, so I rushed back, but I didn't expect to run into Cao Ying's army, but I hated that this heavy rain came at a bad time." ”

Ma Yun just figured out what was going on in today's battle, and now that he thinks about it, he is really a little afraid, if it wasn't for Zhao Yun's timely arrival, I'm afraid that none of the people and horses who fought fiercely with the Cao army on the east bank of the moat would have returned, even Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Yan Yan had to explain there, and they didn't need such a strong defense facility in Xiangyang City, but they had to insist on the promise of not closing the city gate, it was really a stupid decision, Ma Yun couldn't help but blame herself deeply, she was sorry for those casualties.

Zhao Yun saw that Ma Yun was silent, and hurriedly bowed over and said: "Mrs. Qiyu, the last general just got a news that Yuan Shu is attacking Nanxiang and Jiangxia from Runan and Lujiang, so he can't pull away, Cao Ying's defeat this time has been frightened, and he will never dare to invade again, and the last general wants to search for Lu Bu near Xiangyang first, and when this is over, he will go to reinforce Jun Yi, and ask Mrs. to show it." ”

Ma Yun was taken aback and said: "Lu Bu doesn't need to be searched, he has been beheaded by my order, and now the head should have been sent to Sanguan, Yuan Shu and Cao Ying launched at the same time, how could it be so coincidental, there must be some conspiracy here, General Zhao, there is no problem with the city defense of Xiangyang for the time being, wait for the rain to stop for a while, hurry up to reinforce General Zhang, and you must not let these small people harm the local people." ”

Zhao Yun promised to leave as soon as he said yes, but Zhu Qian shouted behind him: "General Zhao is slow, can you ask General Zhao to send a few people to send Rui'er back to Xiangyang." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Yun to agree, Ma Yun had already said in a deep voice: "Now that the enemy is present, where does General Zhao have time to take care of her affairs, let her stay in the military camp for a few days, endure some hardships, teach her a lesson, remember her surname for a long time, don't always have a surname like this." ”

Although Zhu Qian felt sorry for her daughter, she also knew that Ma Yun had always said everything, so she had to bow her head and say: "It's all to blame for the slave family's lack of discipline, please ask Mrs. to spare Rui'er this time." ”

In fact, Zhu Qian was also very strict with Liu Rui in the past, but since she followed Liu Xin, she always felt that she had lost her innocence, and she couldn't live with the Zou family, so she doted on Rui'er, but Ma Yun waved her hand disapprovingly, and said: "It's not your head to blame, it's because the lord usually indulges her too much, but this time she can also be regarded as a meritorious person, otherwise Zhao Yun doesn't know to return to Xiangyang, I don't blame her, it's just that when she comes back, you have to talk about her well, otherwise you will marry someone in the future, and you will still be like this when you go to your in-law's house, what kind of system will it be." ”

It's not that Ma Yun has any feudal thoughts, it's just that the social atmosphere at that time was like this, the women who married into the Liu family and Liu Xin could be more lenient with them, but the girls who married out of the Liu family, who can guarantee that other people's families will be so lenient with them.

In Ma Yun's opinion, life in the military camp is hard and boring, let Liu Rui suffer some hardships there, and sharpen her surname, how can she think that this little girl is living well in the military camp outside Wuguan,

In the troubled times, you can't do without self-defense, Liu Xin has always been very strict with her children in martial arts, and Liu Rui is no exception, but Liu Rui is really not a material for martial arts, maybe it's okay to practice dance, after practicing for seven or eight years, Liu Rui is not only very ordinary in martial arts, but even her strength is pitifully small, tying a chicken may still be, if you want her to tie people, it is absolutely impossible,

Although Liu Rui's ability is not at all, her interest in the military camp is very strong, asking this and that, she still has to point fingers, Xiahoulan followed behind, pulling a bitter gourd face, but she was helpless,

After tossing for a long time, Liu Rui thought that he was a little tired, so he asked someone to move a chair, sat at the gate and looked at Wuguan for a long time, and suddenly said: "General Xiahou, as the saying goes, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, how many days have you been here, why don't you go and knock down Wuguan." ”

Xiahou Lan hurriedly said: "Miss Qiyu, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and without General Zhao's order, who dares to act without permission." ”

Liu Rui said disdainfully: "If Uncle Zhao asks you not to eat, you won't eat." ”

Xiahou Lan was not provoked by her, and arched her hand to the side, and said, "The eldest lady is right, if General Zhao orders us not to eat, then we will not eat." ”

Seeing that he couldn't move, Liu Rui rolled his eyes and asked, "How many defenders are on the opposite side and who the main general is, you should figure these out." ”

Xia Houlan frowned and said, "Figuring it out is figuring it out, but this is also a military secret, so it doesn't seem to be said to the eldest lady." ”

Liu Rui's face sank and said angrily: "Nonsense, I came on behalf of my father this time, do you still want to hide it from my father." ”

Xia Houlan was unmoved, and arched her hand and said: "The last general and others are loyal to the lord, and they will never dare to hide it in the slightest. ”

Liu Rui got up and groped for a long time, spread her hands, and said, "Oh, I just remembered that the token was handed over to Uncle Zhao yesterday, and I forgot to ask him to come back." ”

Xia Houlan knew that she was lying as soon as she heard it, Zhao Yun was such a strict person, how could she forget to return the token to her, but said with a smile on her face: "Miss, if you can't see the token, you can't say that the end will be killed." ”

Liu Rui snorted lightly, a bright smile suddenly bloomed on her face, and said, "Uncle Xiahou, then you can tell who is the main general in this pass, this is always okay." ”

Xia Houlan couldn't be entangled by her, thought about it, and had to say: "Originally, it was Dong Zhuo's lieutenant general Dong Xiu who guarded Wuguan, and now there is another lieutenant Zhang Ji. ”
