Fortunately, the losses of the Xuzhou army are not worthless, because the losses of the Yuan army are even heavier, counting those who were killed, those who took the opportunity to escape after being defeated, and those who ran into the mountains and got lost and disappeared, I am afraid that the total number has exceeded 50,000, which is almost ten times the battle loss of the Xuzhou army.

Zhuge Jun was thinking about Ji Ling, and suddenly saw many Xuzhou soldiers getting up one after another, pointing at the distance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When Zhuge Jun turned his head to look back, he saw that several mountains in the southwest had already burst into flames, and the fire pushed the billowing smoke upward, almost reflecting half of the night sky.

"Phew!" Zhou Cang spat out thick phlegm fiercely, and said with great disdain, "Ji Ling's old dog is really stupider than a pig, and a group of mountains like Mount Tai wants to burn us?" Dream about it. ”

Jiang Xu said: "His grandmother's bear wants to learn from us, hahaha!" It's a pity that it can't burn us, this dead bird thief. ”

"Old Dog Ji Ling doesn't want to burn us, but to prevent us from going out of the mountain." Liang Xi, who was next to him, suddenly interjected, and said lightly to Zhuge Jun, "Third prince, the Yuan army has withdrawn, and they have withdrawn from the mountain." ”

After a night of silence, the remnants of the Xuzhou Army were finally able to sleep.

Early the next morning, the scout team sent out also rushed to converge along the road signs left by the Xuzhou army, and also brought back the news about Yuan Cao's army, yesterday afternoon, the Yuan army had indeed withdrawn its troops, and before leaving, it also burned the mountain on a large scale, and now the surrounding mountains are almost all burned into bare barren mountains.

Before the start of the race, the last scout team also rushed back.

Two days later, Ji Ling's army successfully left the mountain.

Riding on horseback and looking back, the vast mountains have already burst into flames, pushing the billowing smoke upwards, almost covering half of the sky, but Liang Zhongzheng is still setting fire everywhere with more than 100 teams of scouts, Ji Ling believes that this fire will not burn the entire Taishan Mountain Range, but the surrounding mountains will definitely be burned bald.

Because Culai Mountain had been flooded and it was impossible to garrison a large army, Ji Ling did not go out of the mountain along the original road, but went all the way north out of the mountain and went straight to Xiaofenling.

At the same time, Ji Ling ordered General Liang Zhengzhong to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to defend the six counties east of the mountain, south of the mountain and the southwest direction, and at the same time learned from the practice of the Xuzhou army, and set up temporary beacon towers on the hills near the dangerous passes of various major roads.

Ji Ling believed that Yuan Jun and the others would definitely be more vigilant in the future after underestimating the enemy's carelessness and suffering a big loss from Xiang Zhuang, and Zhuge Jun would be afraid that it would be difficult to break their army with tricks and tricks.

As a result, if the remnants of the Xu army wanted to escape, they could only go north over the deep mountains and old forests to Qingzhou.

Of course, Ji Ling was never worried that the remnants of the Xuzhou Army would really flee over the mountains and into Qingzhou, Qingzhou was Yuan Shao's place, and if the Xuzhou Army really wanted to do this, Ji Ling really couldn't ask for it.

In the evening of the same day, the exhausted remnants of the Xuzhou Army also returned to the old camp in the mountains.

Yan Yan, who had already received the news, had already led people to wait outside the gate of the old camp, and Chen Deng and E Huan were also greeted by him.

More than 100 of Zhuge Jun's personal soldiers, as well as more than 5,000 women and children, have also cooked hot rice, prepared hot dishes, and boiled hot bath water, just waiting for the soldiers to return triumphantly, the final result is naturally some people are happy and some people are worried, and the women and children who wait for the man to return are naturally happy, and the women and children of the dead man are inevitably sad.

Yan Yan gave Zhuge Jun a long look, and said solemnly: "Third son, please accept the old decay!" ”

Zhuge Jun hurriedly stepped forward to help Yan Yan up, and said, "Old general, what are you doing here?" ”

"It's nothing, the old decay is just stirring in the chest, and it is tinged." Yan Yan waved his hand, and said, "Since ancient times, there have been two factions in the military family, one is the brave battle faction, with Xiang Yu as the leader among them, and the other is the war faction, with the ancient Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Bai Qi, and now Cao Cao as the leader, so far, no one has ever been able to have the essence of the two factions. ”

Zhuge Jun couldn't help but nod when he heard this, Yan Yan's words were not bad, not to mention that before the Han Dynasty, even after the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were very few soldiers in Chinese history who could have both the essence of fighting bravely and seeking war, and there were peerless heroes such as Xiang Yu and Ran Min in brave battles, and Chen Qingzhi and Huo Qubing were in battle, but only the soldier saint Yue Fei was the only one who could really be called the essence of both factions!

"However, now ......" Yan Yan paused, and then said, "The third prince seems to have the essence of both factions, the third prince is so old, he has such a talent, and in the future, no one can match the world!" ”

Zhuge Jun smiled faintly, he was naturally proud of being able to get such a high evaluation from Yan Yan, and since Xiao Pei took charge of the army, his performance in this series of tough battles was indeed impeccable! Although when Yang Wu was killed in the middle, with the help of the stirrup, there was a suspicion of opportunism, but no matter what, these achievements are real!

Let's ask, how many people can take 10,000 defeated soldiers with scattered military morale and no fighting spirit, but escape by running 300 miles in one day and night? When Cao Bao was defeated, the news of the defeat of the Danyang soldiers spread, and the Xuzhou army was facing collapse and collapse, how many people could turn the tide, and then take the opportunity to incite the Xuzhou army to take revenge and recast the army's heart in a war? How many people can lead 5,000 elite soldiers, fight successively, and beat Yuan Cao's 200,000 troops dare not stay in the mountains? These are not blown-out achievements, but fights!

Some Wenshi stepped forward to salute separately, and when they saw the bloodstained white cloth wrapped around Zhuge Jun's left shoulder, one Wenshi couldn't help but ask with concern: "Third son, are you injured?" ”

"Hey, out of the way." Zhuge Jun said indifferently, "I suffered a little skin injury." ”

Huang Zhong and others also stepped forward to meet Chen Deng one after another, and with E Huan, Li Damu, and Hu Fen, Hu Fen each had a cold noise, Hu Fen was a little familiar with medical skills, and then asked Zhuge Jun with concern: "Third prince, do you want me to take a look?" ”

"It's not a big deal." Zhuge Jun shrugged his left shoulder lightly, and said indifferently, "Eating and dressing or anything is not a problem, but don't think about holding the bow and carrying the knife with your left hand in a short period of time." ”

"Hey, I'm trying to tell you." Yan Yan said, "Third Prince, although you are strong in martial arts and unstoppable, after all, you are the chief general of the five armies, and the safety of one person is related to the life and death of thousands of soldiers, so in the future, you can no longer take the lead and charge into battle, this kind of thing Jiang Xu and Huang Zhong are completely competent." ”

"Old general, why did you forget about our Ehuan?" E Huan said unhappily, "Jiang Xu's martial arts are good, he can be regarded as the true inheritance of the general, and the martial arts competition is quite like that, but he is still tender after all, if he is really desperate, he may not be Lao Tzu's opponent." ”

Jiang Xu, who was following behind Zhuge Jun, was naturally unconvinced, but how could he dare to refute?

In the dead of night, Zhuge Jun's wooden house was lit with fire.

Chen Deng was still not at ease, and took the military doctor to apply herbs to Zhuge Jun, and re-bandaged it with a clean bandage, Zhuge Jun had already taken a hot bath just now, and ate hot wine and meat meals, and his mental complexion had recovered a lot, and he was no longer as awkward as when he first returned, and his face was gray.

Chen Deng washed his hands in the wooden basin, and said happily: "Third son, this sword is really thrilling, if you go up a little more, I'm afraid you will have to cut off the tendons, then your entire left arm will be useless, if it is an inch down, it will be even more dangerous." ”

Zhuge Jun smiled faintly and didn't say anything, if he didn't have enough understanding of the human body's structure, how could he dare to let someone stab a sword in his shoulder? However, this sword was really not in vain, although the man stabbed his own sword, he paid the price with his life, the only pity is that he still failed to kill Ji Ling in the end.

Yan Yan also said with regret: "Sangong 3 led 5,000 remnants of soldiers to complete the earth-shattering counterattack in a desperate situation, and broke through the Yuan army camp in one fell swoop, which is really a feat of earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods, but it is a pity that the whole work has not been completed, if it can really kill Ji Ling, then the overall situation of Xuzhou will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes, and the recovery of Xiaopei will be just around the corner." ”

"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't kill Ji Ling." Zhuge Jun said, "However, there is still hope for taking back Xiaopei!" ”

"The ability of the third prince to command the army is already known to the whole world, but ......," Yan Yan said for a moment, and said without worry, "But now, after all, there are only more than 6,600 people left in our army, and with such a weak force, if you want to run a long distance and force the Yuan army from all walks of life to return to the division to save yourself, it is really not enough." ”

Zhuge Jun nodded, and suddenly said: "By the way, the old general didn't say that I almost forgot, in a few days, maybe there will be a Xu army of more than 10,000 people to meet here, in this way, our army will have more than 20,000 people, although the strength is still a little thin, but at least there is already the strength of a battle!" ”

"And a corps?" Chen Deng said, "Is it the eldest prince's centaur?" ”

"Yes." Zhuge Jundao.
