Chapter 70: Returning to the Heart
As soon as the overseer gave an order, all the soldiers immediately took off their bows and arrows, and shot indiscriminately into the trees before they could aim, and more and more Wei soldiers also gathered over to bend their bows and arrows, and suddenly the attack of the tiger Huang De was suppressed, and he could no longer do what he wanted.

Huang De threw a stone the size of a skull, and when he saw a soldier who was shooting arrows screaming and falling, he was immediately overjoyed and was about to continue his attack.
"Ahh
There was a miserable scream, but the soldier next to him was hit in the eye socket by the bow and arrow, and suddenly blood burst out, and the miserable howl sounded, and the tiger was excited, thinking of Liu Chen's murderous words before, he no longer stopped, and beckoned the soldier to carry the injured three brothers away.
"Withdraw!"
As soon as the soldiers heard the order, they hurriedly followed the tiger and ran in the direction of Chaoyang Pingguan on the mountain road.
"Retreat!"
Due to the horses and the rough exploration of the road before, by the time the prison army entered the forest with thousands of murderous Wei soldiers, Huang De and the others had already traveled far away, and chased for a long time, and the prison army, which had taken care of the army, had to come back scolding.
"Lord Warden, these villains are too cunning, we can't guard against them, but what should we do?"
Sima looked worried, and at the same time had some lingering palpitations, obviously frightened, although the prison army was very contemptuous of his cowardice, but he said:
"Sima rest assured, I see that the number of enemy soldiers is not large, and there is no big threat to us, before I just despised the enemy, as long as we put the scouts in the front army to explore the way, I am sure that these tricks will not be able to be performed!"
When Sima heard this, he immediately rejoiced:
"The supervising army is so resourceful, it is really rare in the army, this time the general was killed, and the deputy general was not spared, the supervising army is not chaotic, turn things around, and then the general will definitely reuse you, if the general is developed, don't forget me and wait!"
The prison army was immediately relieved when he heard this **** compliment, he had long been dissatisfied with Tian Xu, a reckless man who led an army alone, and now that Tian Xu and the deputy general are dead, he will definitely be rewarded, and it is not impossible to be promoted to general.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh and say:
"Rest assured, Ben will never be such an ungrateful person, and he will share the blessings!"
This is said very proudly, as if he is a general, although he says so, but in his heart he plans to rectify such a weak person in the future, and then he begins to calmly assign tasks, and he is full of faction.
"You lead a hundred scouts to explore the way ahead, if you delay the general's major affairs, only you ask!"
"Order!"
The scout chief is very helpless, although they are the easiest people to make meritorious contributions and the easiest to get close to the generals, such as Hua Mulan in later generations, it is rumored that the scouts have accumulated for eleven years of meritorious service to Shang Shulang.
But it is undeniable that they also do the most difficult and dangerous tasks, often going deep behind enemy lines, all of which are to earn fame by pinning their heads to their waists.
There were scouts leading the way, and when the prison army saw that there was no sign of an ambush, they immediately began to be complacent, holding their heads high, looking down on the soldiers in front and behind, and a king eight vigorously came out.
"Overseer, there is a situation!"
When the prison army was intoxicated with the sea of meat and wine he had dreamed of building, and the warm fragrance of nephrite, the scout chief's stiff voice as gold and iron woke him up, although the prison army was impatient, and then there were still more than 30,000 soldiers in front of him, he didn't dare to be too lax, and hurriedly stepped forward to investigate, but found nothing.
"Why, you don't want to do it? Fooling is not going to be, where is the situation? ”
The scout chief was very aggrieved, but he didn't dare to attack, so he hurriedly said:
"General, please see, the footsteps here are messy, there must be a lot of soldiers and horses moving here before, this is ......"
Before the scout chief could finish his sentence, there were only a few "uh-uh" sounds, and then he fell limply to the ground.
"Someone, escort, escort!"
The overseer was frightened and hurriedly shouted, but before he could act, a rumbling sound rang out.
"Knock knock!"
"Poof!"
"Click!"
The sound of boulders tumbling, the loud sound of soldiers being impacted, and the piercing sound of bones being crushed once again played a symphony of death.
"Whoosh!"
"Someone, ......"
The overseer was suddenly hit by a stray arrow, fell to the ground and convulsed, and the rest of the people saw this, hurriedly walked away, and suddenly the formation of the front army was disrupted, Sima was useless at all, hiding among the soldiers and shivering.
"Brother, how about such a good opportunity for me to lead the troops to rush and kill for a while?"
The previous prison army was shot by him, and he profoundly implemented Liu Chen's central idea of shooting people first and horses first, and capturing thieves and kings first.
"That's right, let's kill!"
The rest of the soldiers were also excited, when they had fought such an easy and hearty battle, they wanted to expand the results.
Liu Chen was not confused by the scene in front of him, and said coldly:
"No, this Wang Guan that Wei army is not less than 20,000, although the damage is a few thousand, but the foundation is not lost, if we rashly attack and be surrounded by it, then all the previous victories will turn into flowing water, take advantage of them are still in chaos, let's quickly retreat!"
"Brother!"
Zhuge Jing was obviously still unwilling, and pleaded.
"It's an order!"
After saying a word, Liu Chen got up and left first, and Zhuge Jing saw that Liu Chen was gone, and unwillingly beat the trunk, and then shouted:
"Huh! Remove! ”
The army withdrew, and the mountains and fields returned to tranquility in less than half an hour, Sima saw that there was no movement, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly ordered the general to investigate, and saw that the prison army was dead, and he was happy and at the same time boundless fear, so he had to order the general of the former army to take the lead in the front, and he himself jumped directly into the encirclement of the Wei soldiers of the Chinese army.
Bypassing the Wei army, they saw many siege equipment and large bows and crossbows, but everyone didn't dare to do it, but waited on the side of the road for Liu Chen to meet.
Liu Chen met with everyone, and before he could speak, he walked quickly for thirty miles before stopping, looked around and saw a few wounded soldiers among the generals, and hurriedly called the military doctor to do a simple bandage, and then turned around and shouted:
"This king said before that no soldier should be lost, whose subordinates are this, and what's going on?"
The tiger didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he first came out and bowed down and said:
"This is the fault of the last general, he did not retreat in time at that time, and was injured by the Wei army."
Liu Chen didn't answer, and directly ordered:
"Ladies and gentlemen, Centurions, count the numbers, this king wants to see how many brothers have left us in this inevitable game?"
Soon, Huang Chong came up and said:
"King Qi, this attack on the enemy, our army killed two people and injured five people, which can be described as a great victory!"
Seeing everyone's smiles, Liu Chen's face sank, and he said coldly:
"Two brothers are leaving, and five brothers are suffering from boundless pain, this is called a big victory?"
At this time, the tiger couldn't stand it anymore, and came out to play:
"Repay the king, kill thousands of enemies, and damage two people, it can be described as a big victory!"
Liu Chen's eyes were wet with tears, and he choked up:
"Two families have lost their pillars, and five families have lost their pillars, which is insignificant for the war, but behind every soldier is the old and the young, and the loss of the pillars is tantamount to the destruction of the family, you know!"
Suddenly everyone was stunned, although what Liu Chen said has always existed, but at that time, the status of ordinary people was underground, but no one paid attention to the survival of soldiers, just like Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, the soldiers were no longer called, and now Liu Chen pointed out so solemnly, the scale of benevolence and righteousness in everyone's hearts was overturned, and when I thought about it, I couldn't help but bow my head silently.
Facing the fiery and sincere gaze of the soldiers, Liu Chen said earnestly:
"There is no country in the world, and there is no country where to come from, so I hope that everyone will fight more people-oriented wars in the future.
"The king is wise!"
"Long live the king!"
Suddenly, two thousand soldiers knelt down in unison, the mountain shouted long live, the soldiers' faces were fanatical respect, and Huang Chong and others were shocked and admired, Huang Chong knew that from now on, this army would only be loyal to Liu Chen alone, because only Liu Chen regarded them as people in the real sense!
The one that the soldiers respect is a general like Liu Chen who cherishes the soldiers!
Liu Chen led his troops to continue westward, relying on the guidance of the locals, skillfully bypassing Tian Zhang's 10,000 soldiers, and then quietly entered Yangping Pass, and the news of that battle also quickly dispersed.
After receiving the news, the 8,000 soldiers and 10,000 soldiers defending the city left by Liu Chen in Nanzheng Pass were all overjoyed, as if they had seen a bright tomorrow and celebrated with their crowns.
Lu Xun stood on the city tower at this time, looking at the sky in the distance, but his eyes were hazy, such a calm performance, but it could not hide the huge waves in his heart.
Before Liu Chen, he had ordered Lu Xun to prevent him from falling into the danger of fighting between the two sides, and he hurriedly scattered hundreds of scouts on the large and small paths to Yangping Pass, and Liu Chen's battle was also the latest news.
"Two thousand soldiers ambushed 40,000 soldiers, not only annihilated 3,000 enemies, but also retreated with very little damage, what a wise man, Liu Chen is destined to soar into the sky!"
Thinking of this, Lu Xun also had a feeling of ups and downs, but when he thought of something, he muttered:
"If you follow him to conquer the world, how glorious it is, but unfortunately, he is just an ordinary king of the northern land, and he has been passed down since ancient times, which is ...... Ay! I hope it can bring a turnaround to Shu Han! ”
As for Dong Ju, Zhang Yi, and Liao Hua, when they got the news, most of them were suspicious and speculative, and the first one was to think: Isn't Liu Chen under house arrest? How did you go to Hanzhong again to lead the troops to kill the enemy? Is it possible for the royal family to lead the troops?
When Liu Chan received the secret report, he was still imitating the ink pen left by Liu Chen, and when he heard the news, he was immediately overjoyed, and he laughed in the palace, and then he couldn't help it, so he directly ordered the promotion to the court.
In the East Palace Prince's Mansion, the ping-pong bottle porcelain broke endlessly, and Liu Yao kept repeating anxiously on the side:
"Then wasn't Liu Chen under house arrest by his father? Now that he is in charge of the battle, if he returns to the division in victory, what will happen to my brothers? ”
