Although the hundreds of sergeants under the command of Xun Yu were all fighting desperately, they were not looked at by Tai Shici, and he ordered the iron cavalry under his command to immediately surround those sergeants, and use the bows, arrows, spears and other things in their hands to kill these sergeants mercilessly.

Of course, Tai Shici knew the famous saying "being kind to the enemy is being irresponsible to oneself", in fact, almost none of the soldiers under Liu Qi's command did not know this sentence, so they all showed no mercy, and killed those enemy soldiers who dared to rush up to their deaths.

Although the dead soldiers under Xun Yu's command looked resolute and fought desperately, they were still not the opponents of well-trained and sophisticated cavalry, plus these cavalry were several or even more than a dozen to surround and kill one, so their sworn counterattack was quickly killed without making a single wave.

Now there is only Xun Yu left in the inventory of Cao Ying's soldiers on the battlefield.

His figure is so lonely, his mood is so lonely, but he knows that this qiē is going to end, and all the anger and dissatisfaction will dissipate with it, and he also understands that he will definitely be promoted by Cao Cao after his death, remembering his life's work, and will posthumously give a position of Sangong or Jiuqing, giving himself a nickname.

But is that really what he wants to see?

Xun Yu didn't think about it so much anymore, he looked at the banner that was swept up by the fierce wind, looked at the bloody remnant sun, and then looked at the other party's male soldiers like tigers and wolves, and sighed softly.

"Farewell, my beloved Han; Farewell, I am concerned about the troubled times in suspense; I, Xun Yu, was determined to help the world, but in the end I didn't expect that I couldn't even save myself, but he didn't regret it, I would rather die than go with the flow. I am Hanchen, I eat Hanlu, even if I die, I will not change my original intention. ”

Xun Yu's eyes were filled with tears. Haha laughed: "Chang Tai rested to cover up his tears, mourning the difficulties of people's livelihood." Although Yu is good, he repairs his concubine to be restrained. The morning and the evening are replaced. Not only for the rest of the Hui Xi, but also for the Shen Zhi to take over. is also good at what he has done, although he has not regretted his death. ”

After finishing speaking, Xun Yu pulled out his saber and was about to kill himself when he suddenly heard a strong wind blowing, and then when there was a loud sound, the saber in his hand fell to the ground.

Xun Yu shook his sour hands and looked at the enemy general holding the bow at the front expressionlessly. He knew that the enemy general's name was Tai Shici. Known for his ape arm marksmanship, it is not surprising that he can shoot down the sword in his hand with a single arrow.

Tai Shi Ci has been studious since he was a child, and he knows that what Xun Yu sings is the content of the Warring States poet Qu Yuanzhong, expressing the author's enthusiasm for patriotism and love for the people and the pursuit of good virtues, and this poem is not exactly the portrayal of Xun Yu's heart?

Tai Shi Ci has always respected loyal ministers and filial sons, heroes and martyrs, and now seeing Xun Yu when he is dying, he still does not forget to worry about the country and the people, and he really can't bear to die here. Only then did he shoot down the sword in Xun Yu's hand with a bow and arrow, and then slowly came to Xun Yu, and said solemnly: "Mr. is loyal and pitiful." Heaven and earth can be learned, but it's a pity that the master can't be understood, why not turn to the command of Duke Chu, show his ambitions, and help the world? ”

I saw Xun Yu slowly shake his head and said: "The general is a military general, so he naturally knows a truth, there is no turning back when he opens the bow, since I have already chosen Prime Minister Cao, how can I change hands again?" Not to mention. Even if I surrender to the Duke of Chu, he can guarantee absolute allegiance to the Han family. Will all the military and political power be returned to the Son of Heaven? ”

Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, and didn't say any more words. Ordered someone to take Xun Yu down to entertain him, and wait for Xu Tingshi and Duke Chu to deal with it.

This time, the army commanded by Tai Shici followed and killed, causing Xiahou Yuan's army to lose more than 5,000 people, and countless grains and grasses.

In just a few days, the nearly 200,000 troops besieging their three states retreated, and peace finally returned to the border area, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. From then on, those conscripted soldiers could finally return to their hometowns to farm with peace of mind, and the swords they had not yet grasped could finally be replaced with plowshares and hoes, while those soldiers who died in the war could never return to the fields and could no longer reunite with their relatives, leaving their families with eternal grief in their hearts.

Despite this, their families did not complain about Xu Shu, let alone Liu Qi, the Duke of Chu, because they knew that as long as the world was not unified for a day, such a war would not end for a day, and the Duke of Chu brought them light and meager endowments, brought relatively abundant food, and solved the problem of food and clothing for them, but the hateful Cao Cao sent troops to destroy their peace and tranquility, and their husbands, fathers, brothers, children and grandchildren left them forever in order to defend this peace and tranquility, so they hated war. I hate people like Cao Cao who brought war to themselves.

Xun Yu followed Tai Shici's army slowly came to Hefei, seeing the mourning and gloom, his heart couldn't help but be heavy, he believed that this year, the losses in the Wei army were more than this, and the disasters suffered by the people were even heavier, and the disasters brought about by the war have always been two-sided, whether it is active offensive or passive defense, they will be harmed by the war.

The so-called success will be a thousand bones, and behind those princes competing for hegemony, how many innocent souls are filled? How many orphans and widows shed blood and tears?

Xu Shu, the assassin of Yangzhou, personally welcomed Xun Yu over, they are all from Yingchuan County, they have known each other since childhood, and they all admire each other, and it is not easy to sit together today.

Xu Shu observed all the way, and saw that Xun Yu was deeply moved by the sorrow of the people, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "This is the disaster brought about by the war, this is the troubled times, Wen Ruo has been in the army for a long time, he must have felt a lot about it, right?" Otherwise, you wouldn't have set up your ambition to support the society and calm the troubled times, right? ”

But I heard Xun Yu smiled bitterly, and sighed softly: "How can I be ambitious and talented, and I can't stop the chaos in the world, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, twenty years, the people are still in troubled times, living a precarious life, I boast that my political ability is not bad, I thought that I could stabilize the world and let the people end the war, but I didn't expect that the people's hearts were insufficient, and they wanted to annex Hebei after occupying the Central Plains. If the prince can't be satisfied, the next thing is to call the king and the emperor. And its so-called merit is not to expand its territory. At the cost of waging war, it will bring endless disasters to the world. ”

Xu Shu nodded when he heard the words and said, "Xun Wenruoren cares about the people. Admirable. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court has not been able to do its bidding, the princes have been hegemonic, the heroes have stood side by side, the people are in the midst of war, the world is not peaceful, and the greedy people have taken advantage of the chaos. But like a mirror, in the end, only those who really have great ambitions, can achieve immortal achievements, when Cao Cao supported the Son of Heaven, rebuilt the imperial court, established immortal merits, admired by the world, the world's loyal ministers and righteous people all rushed to rush, but this person with the continuous expansion of the meritorious career. Selfish desires swelled rapidly, threatening the son of heaven, and killing ministers without permission. There are even heinous crimes such as slaughtering cities and killing prisoners, and making human jerky, which are gradually rejected by wise people in the world. ”

Xu Shu saw that Xun Yu's face was pale, obviously he was worried about Cao Cao's claim to be the public, he glanced at him thoughtfully, and continued: "However, the Duke of Chu is not, the Duke of Chu has always treated the people with benevolence, and his father and son ruled Jingzhou, making Jingzhou the richest place in the world. The Duke of Chu strictly governed the army, but he did not lose his leniency. All the families of all the soldiers who died in the war were treated well. They have no worries about food and clothing, their children are educated by the government, and their parents are supported by the government. Chu Gongxing Juntian, Shi Renzheng, Establishing Imperial Examinations, Running Hospitals, and Connecting Trade, which is not a good thing for the establishment of the country and benefiting the people? It is that all the people of insight in the world defected, and every time the army arrived, the people greeted each other. ”

Xun Yu was silent for a long time after listening, and slowly spoke: "If he doesn't call the public, he can be regarded as a powerful royal family and a famous minister, but now he is called the public system, and he lives up to the trust of the Han family, and he is really a chaotic minister and thief." ”

Xu Shu sneered when he heard this, and said sharply: "If this is wrong, the Duke of Chu is the clan of the Han family, and the Son of Heaven is his younger brother. With the merits of the Duke of Chu, even the title of king is not enough to demonstrate, let alone a prince? It's just that Duke Chu is humble, even if he is called a duke, he has repeatedly shirked, and in the end, in order to avoid the disappointment of his ministers, the world has fallen into decline, so he has no choice but to take office, how can this be compared with Cao Cao? Wen Ruo, please think about it, this is the Son of Heaven who was bullied and manipulated by Cao Cao, and he did not dare to seal the Duke of Chu. ”

Xun Yu sighed when he heard this, and didn't say more, but he heard Xu Shu continue: "The public is the Yingchuan family, the father and ancestor all eat Hanlu, the father and the father have eight brothers, and the people of the time are known as the eight dragons, and the prince is talented, far better than his father and ancestors, he knows that Cao Cao is a Han thief, and he knows that the Duke of Chu is a clan member of the Han family, and he supports the Han family, why not go to the Duke of Chu, kill the royal family, calm the war in the world, and make immortal achievements?" ”

Xun Yu said with a wry smile: "Don't hide Yuanzhi, after this praise and disparagement, my enterprising spirit is also weakened, and I no longer have the ambition of the year. ”

How smart is Xu Shu? Listening to Xun Yu's tone, it seemed that he was worried that in case he took refuge in Liu Qi, Liu Qi coerced the Son of Heaven and called the king the emperor, he was straightforward and loyal, once he was convicted, I was afraid that he would not even be able to save his life, and he actually rejected his mention of defecting to the Duke of Chu, and he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, but he didn't know how to persuade him, after all, in his opinion, Liu Qi's replacement of the Son of Heaven was the trend of the times, and the common wish of the military and the people in Great Chu naturally couldn't and must not guarantee to Xun Yu that Liu Qi would not be called the king and emperor. So in desperation, I had to dispel the idea of persuasion, but left him in Hefei as a guest to entertain him.

Later, Xun Yu was invited by Liu Qi, the Duke of Chu, to settle in Xiangyang, Xun Yu did not object, so he was escorted to Xiangyang, and since then he has met friends with Sima Hui, Pang Degong and others, and even occasionally met Liu Qi, the Duke of Chu. But Liu Qi never mentioned the request to let Xun Yu take refuge in him, Xun Yu knew that Liu Qi was saving him from embarrassment, and couldn't help but be secretly grateful in his heart.

Xun Yu gradually felt the prosperity and wealth of Xiangyang, and the rich cultural atmosphere of Jingxiang, and gradually integrated into this cultural environment, and his good impression of Liu Qi was gradually improving. (To be continued)
