"Zhang Qushuai was defeated and killed?" When he finished reading this document, Diao Chan muttered, hugged Zhang Yao, who was sitting on the ground, and said: "Sister, you have to hold on, now you are our only hope, if you fall, then we are really finished." ”

"The general trend has gone, and the 300,000 elite army has been destroyed in one fell swoop, what can I do about it?" Zhang Yao laughed miserably, shook his head and said, "Go, send someone to inform Guan Qushuai to withdraw the troops......"

"Whoa." Diao Chan nodded, got up and just walked out of the big tent, when he encountered the oncoming messenger.

"What's the matter with you?" Seeing that the messenger was coming in a hurry, Diao Chan had a premonition that something was happening again, so she hurriedly stopped the other party and asked.

"There is a military intelligence from the front, saying that Guan Qu Shuai was defeated and died." The messenger saw that it was Diao Chan, and hurriedly handed over the battle report that had just come from the front.

"How so?" Diao Chan was stunned for a moment, she was originally quite calm, but she couldn't help but panic, biting her lip, she asked after a while: "Do you know who is the general of the Han army?" ”

"It seems to be a general named Han Lie." The messenger replied hesitantly.

"Is that him?" Diao Chan's eyes couldn't help flashing a hint of discoloration, and he nodded and said, "Order all departments to move closer to the Chinese army and give up the siege." ”

"Whoa." At this moment, there are many Yellow Turbans under Beihai City, and the whole is in chaos, since they have not received the news that Guan Hai was defeated and killed in front, and they do not know that Zhang Rao, the commander of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, has been defeated by the new Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao in Shouzhang City, Zhang Rao also died in Shouzhang City, and most of the 300,000 Yellow Turban main forces surrendered to Cao Cao.

And just now Zhang Yao and Diao Chan were in the camp tent, and they received a secret letter brought back by Sparrowhawk, which was sent by Zhang Rao before he died, and it was precisely after learning the news of Zhang Rao's death that Zhang Yao was distraught.

Knowing that Diao Chan was killed in the battle of Guan Hai, she also fell into a panic for a while, but when she learned that the general of the Han army who led the troops was Han Lie, for some reason her mind stabilized for a while, and after the herald left, she did not turn back to Zhang Yao's camp, but went to the scholar's camp where they were under house arrest.

"Girl, come here today, could it be that you have already broken through Beihai City?" Seeing Diao Chan entering, the young Confucian student's eyes swept over Diao Chan's face, and he asked with an indifferent smile.

"I'm afraid that Mr. is asking knowingly, right?" Diao Chan smiled bitterly and said: "Beihai City is high and deep, our army can't attack it for a long time, and now the Han army reinforcements have arrived, and it is not a secret that my 30,000 elites have been defeated, and the Han army will arrive under the city at any time. ”

"Oh, I don't know who the Han army general is? How did it come so quickly? The scholar did not have the slightest excitement because Diao Chan said that he wanted to let himself go, but had a strong sense of crisis, although he was in crisis, but there was no expression on his face, and his calm eyes did not fluctuate at all.

Diao Chan, who has been observing the other party, saw that the other party listened to so much news brought by himself, and he was not moved in the slightest, and while marveling at the other party's calm state of mind, he was also more curious about the true identity of the person in front of him.

A weak scholar in his early twenties, but with a calm mind, keen insight, and a deep heart, such a person, Diao Chan has only seen a few people, and there is only one person who has this state of mind at such a young age, that is, Han Lie, who has led the army to Beihai City at this moment, I don't know why, seeing the scholar in front of him, Diao Chan can't help but think of Han Lie's handsome face.

"Han Lie, Han Ziyang doesn't know if Mr. has heard of it?" Diao Chan looked at the scholar and said Han Lie's name.

"The hero of the battle against Lu Fengxian under the Tiger Prison, how can I not know, if this person leads the troops, I don't think it's strange." A hint of color flashed in the scholar's eyes, and he couldn't help but have more expectations for Han Lie, a character who has emerged in recent years.

"Now that Mr. knows Han Ziyang's name, it's easy to talk about this matter." Diao Chan's heart was relieved, and said: "I said earlier that Mr. will leave, this is definitely not empty words, but I hope that Mr. can go to see Han Ziyang and ask him to let us go, no matter whether the thing is done or not, Mr. is also free, I believe that with Mr. 's talent, he can definitely contribute to this matter." ”

"This reason makes sense, I answered the girl's request." The scholar was originally worried that the ghostly Diao Chan in front of him would make an embarrassing request, but he couldn't refuse this request.

"Thank you, sir." Diao Chan bowed deeply with joy.

"Girl doesn't need to thank me, it's just a deal between us." The scholar waved his hand lightly, but did not show any intimacy.

"Later, sir, I will arrange for someone to escort him away." Diao Chan didn't care either, turned around and left immediately, and then arranged four female swordsmen to escort the scholar out of the camp in a car.

The scholar sitting in the carriage saw from the first glance that these four women were definitely not idle people, and he also understood that this so-called escort was actually an escort, but he was not dissatisfied with this, after all, everyone has a defensive heart, and it is impossible for the other party not to make arrangements to let him leave.

The remnant sun was like blood, and the green ground was stained with blood and fireworks, and the sergeants who were cleaning the battlefield put a handful of weapons and belongings on the frame of the car on the side while collecting the corpses.

Han Lie, who was on the battlefield, nodded and said after listening to the casualties counted by Junzheng Xiahoulan: "Our soldiers are registered, a monument is erected and buried, and the enemy sergeants are burned and buried on the spot." ”

"Whoa." Xia Houlan retreated in a deep voice.

"In this battle, our army broke 30,000 from 4,000, killed less than 1,000 people, killed 5,000 enemies, and captured more than 20,000 people. Tai Shi Ci on the side sighed when he saw Han Lie, knowing that he was sad for the casualties, and hurriedly said with relief.

"One will make ten thousand bones dry. War will inevitably cause casualties, as a commander, how can I not know, but for me, every soldier of the Red Flame Army is like my brother, and now that so many brothers have died, how can I not be in pain? Han Lie sighed and walked in front of a wounded soldier, only to see that the opponent's armor had been torn, the cloth coat on his body was torn, and there were several wounds on his arms and chest.

"General ......" saw Han Lie approaching, the young wounded soldier lying on the stretcher, his eyes flashed with a hint of color, and he struggled to get up.

"You are Jieshan, no need to be polite, lie down and rest." Han Lie gently pressed the other party's shoulders, and while calling out the other party's name, he reached out and draped the fine brocade robe on his shoulders on the other party.

"General, do you remember my name?" Jieshan is really young and strong, and he is also the first batch of volunteer soldiers who followed Han Lie at the beginning, this veteran, Han Lie can call out the other party's name in one bite, this memory ability is not difficult for Han Lie.

"You and my brother, how can I forget my brother's name." Han Lie smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and held the other party's palm.

"General, general......" Jieshan was suddenly moved, his eyes moistened and he stretched out his hand, holding Han Lie's palm, full of excitement.

Some of the wounded soldiers on the left and right, when they saw Han Lie's words of cordial conversation with Jieshan, and Jieshan, a warrior who had suffered many wounds on the battlefield but did not shed a single tear, all of them burst into tears at this moment.

"Brothers, have you heard, the general has always regarded us as his own brothers, how should you repay the general's kindness in the future?" Jieshan looked at the sergeants rushing up from the left and right, raised his head and roared.

"Meritorious service to kill the enemy." One shouted a word, and immediately won a wave of responses on the battlefield, first the low roar of the nearest wounded battalion, then to the ears of the soldiers cleaning the battlefield, and then to the ears of the soldiers on the perimeter guard.

Tai Shici, who was following Han Lie's side, saw that Han Lie only said a word, and once again preached the morale that had been low after the war, and while marveling at Han Lie's appeal, he was also deeply impressed.

In the evening, when Han Lie's troops were preparing to pull out the camp, a carriage came to his camp, and when the camp gate governor sent someone to send news that the Yellow Turban Army under Beihai City had sent an envoy, Han Lie thought for a moment and said, "Bring the envoy up." ”

Due to the imminent pull-out of the camp, in Han Lie's camp tent, there are only Tai Shici's entourage who has no official position for the time being, and the rest of Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Dian Wei and others are supervising the army to pull out the camp.

When he saw the young Confucian who was escorted in by four female warriors in green clothes and cloth armor, Han Lie immediately felt a little weird, such a combination of messengers felt a little awkward in his opinion.

After the salute, Han Lie's gaze swept over the Confucian envoy, waiting for the other party to tell his intentions, but when his gaze swept over the four female warriors behind him, he didn't feel a sense of familiarity.

"In Xiayingchuan Guo Jia, this time I came to meet the general, but I was entrusted to send a letter to the general." Yes, the extraordinary scholar in front of him is Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao, who originally went south to Qingzhou from Jizhou to observe Han Lie, but was captured by Diao Chan and Zhang Yao at the crossing of the Yellow River and became a Yellow Turban captive, and was almost killed.

Thanks to his shrewdness and calmness, he was spared, and he was respected by Diao Chan, but he was placed under house arrest in the camp without any harm.

"Wait, you say you're Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao? Yingchuan people's clan? Han Lie, who had always been calm, couldn't help but lose his temper at this moment, and suddenly got up, his eyes fixed on Guo Jia like electricity.

Han Lie's fierce reaction shocked Tai Shici on the side, and immediately pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and almost drew his sword. The four female warriors behind Guo Jia also changed their expressions, thinking that Guo Jia and Han Lie had something to do.
