Winter, December 15. The upper reaches of the Ru River are icy, and the two mountains of Barberry and Tongbai are covered with snow. Under the response of Xu Sheng's army, the whole army withdrew from Huafei on the west bank of the Ru River and led the army across the river to Cao Cao.

At this time, after Hua Fei suffered betrayal and surprise attack, he counted the military horses. It was found that the army on the North Road was extremely badly damaged, and of the 15,000-strong troops, only more than 6,000 remained.

What made him even more heartbroken was Xu Kai's department, and the two Tuntian soldiers who were ordered to guard Ruyang, and tens of thousands of brothers and sisters were all lost in this battle. The other troops of the Tuntian also suffered losses.

At present, there are less than 40,000 elite soldiers under his command, and the total number of the eight Tuntian troops is less than 20,000. Taken together, the total strength of the two divisions is less than 60,000.

According to the intelligence of the guards, Cao Cao, after receiving the response from Yanzhou, had dispatched his 100,000 troops to the county seat of Haoyang in the north of the Ru River, and was eyeing the Zhuping County on the south bank.

Cao Cao to the north not only had an advantage in troops; It is also Chen Bing on the north shore who occupies the northwest wind, a weapon of heaven; And there are many advisers under his command, and fierce generals are like clouds,

In addition, after Liu Bei rectified the defeated army, he also led more than 40,000 Xuzhou troops to the west and was stationed on the front line of Pingyu.

According to intelligence, Xuzhou Cao Bao has once again looted the private soldiers of the Xuzhou clan, increased the army of Liu Bei by 30,000 people, and is setting off west to Pingyu County.

It is expected that Liu Bei's troops will reach more than 70,000 people, however, his command is not a hundred battles of elite soldiers, in Hua Fei's opinion, Liu Bei is really terrible, or he has those two invincible brothers.

The total strength of these two armies is currently more than 140,000 people, and there are even more generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xia Hou Brothers, Cao Ren, and Le Jin...... This caused a huge headache for Dehuafei.

However, there are joys and sorrows in life! Just as Hua Fei was looking sadly at the distance, in the snow, standing on the north bank of the Ru River, Maoyang was secretly worried.

There was a voice from behind him, "Lord! The call made him turn his head. But I saw that beside He Man, who was nine feet long, there was a red-faced young man with a length of more than seven feet.

When Hua Fei saw this young man, he immediately forgot all his troubles and sorrows, and stretched out his hand and asked, "You are Wen Chang?" ”

The red-faced Wei Yan saw Hua Fei asking, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied with a fist in a salute: "If you go back to the mansion, the kid is Wei Yan Wei Wenchang!" ”

"Wen Chang, please get up quickly, you don't need to be polite here!" Hua Fei quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help him and asked, "Since Wen Chang came to my army and helped me safely bring me back to the Jincheng headquarters in Luohe, I think he already knows my intentions. ”

Saying that, he let go of the Buddha beads and asked in the faint sandalwood fragrance: "But I don't know if Wen Chang is willing to come to help Hua and do his best for the people of this world?" ”

"Thanks to the lord's attention, the dispatched personnel have been waiting for Wei Yan at home for a long time, and Yan is grateful in his heart!" Saying that, he paused slightly, suddenly clasped his fists again and gave a deep salute, and shouted loudly, "Yiyang Wei Yan see the lord!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! Hua Fei said three good words in a row, and with a smile on his face, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help each other, "It's a great blessing that I have the help of Wen Chang." As he spoke, he looked at the red-faced man in front of him, who was sixteen years old, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Everyone in the world knows that Wei Yan is brave and good at fighting, or they think that Wei Yan has a backbone in the back of his head, but he is a disloyal person. didn't know that this man who was born in Tongbai, Henan Province, was actually a true hero who was loyal, brave, benevolent, righteous, and wise.

Hua Fei knows that it is difficult to explain things in history. However, it is also true that Wei Yan did not take refuge in Cao Cao; Therefore, it is a great grievance to say that he is unfaithful!

To be able to fight well is to be brave; It is his duty to be kind to the soldiers. In addition, what is not known is that this Wei Yan can not only govern the army when he gets off the horse, but he can also govern the people when he gets off the horse.

During his tenure as the Taishou of Hanzhong, he managed Hanzhong, which had almost become a no-man's land after being relocated by Cao Cao twice, in an orderly manner, doesn't this be enough to show that he also has a benevolent heart to treat the people kindly?

As for the fact that he later offered Zhuge Liang a proposal to personally lead 5,000 soldiers out of the Meridian Valley to enter Chang'an. Hua Fei felt that although it was a bit risky, it was also a clever plan.

To be fair, the Meridian Valley is the most dangerous road connecting the six southwestern roads of the Qinling Mountains. It is true that no one has ever succeeded in smuggling in the past in history.

However, the failure of predecessors does not mean that future generations cannot succeed. At that time, it was Xia Hou Nan who was guarding Chang'an, and this person did not have the strategy of using soldiers, Wei Yan made this kind of suggestion to the enemy general, and he had to say that he was a brave and resourceful talent.

Such a full-fledged talent with courage and strategy, who can fight wars and govern politics, but was said to be an anti-bone boy and finally died at the hands of his own people, this cannot but be said to be a strange injustice through the ages!

Thinking about it, he looked at Wei Yan in front of him, and felt extremely unhappy for what happened to him! and secretly vowed to let a rare general like Wei Yan bloom in his own hands the brilliance that should have belonged to him.

Thinking about it, he turned his gaze to the back of Wei Yan's head, wanting to see what Zhuge Liang said that Wei Yan had a backbone in the back of his head, what kind of situation was it?

Sure enough, everywhere he looked, he could see that the back of Wei Yan's head was raised high, and it looked as if there was indeed an extra bone in the shape of a "question mark" than others.

"My lord! Yan suffered a difficult birth when she was born, so the back of her head has a strange shape, and she hopes that the lord will not ...... Don't ......"

Maybe it's because the back of his brain is different, it's too distinctive, which makes Wei Yan a little ashamed! Seeing Hua Fei looking at the back of his head, he couldn't help but clench his fists and bow his head, speechless.

Hua Fei saw what he meant, stretched out his hand and patted his sturdy arm and smiled: "Wen Chang! God has given you a bone of inquiry, which is to let you see and ask more questions and think more about everything, this is a great good thing, and what is there to be ashamed of? ”

His mouth comforted the uneasy Wei Yan, but he secretly whispered in his heart.

"Fucking Zhuge Shengang, this skull is obviously caused by dystocia, you have to say that it is a backbone. Since you are familiar with the art of yin and yang and the five elements of gossip, don't you even understand such simple truths as people cannot be looked at and sea water cannot be measured? ”

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an ominous premonition. You need to know that there is no vanity under the fame! This Zhuge Liang is an unborn talent, although people like him are a little pretending to be gods, but he is undoubtedly a super-first-class wise man.

Since he said that Wei Yan has a backbone, he will definitely not be untargeted, and there must be a reason for it. However, it is by no means a search for a sample as he said, it is judged from this question bone at the back of his head.

So, why did he say that Wei Yan would be reversed after a long time? Hua Fei stared at Wei Yan for a while, but he really didn't know much about the knowledge of physiognomy, so he didn't know anything after all.

He just fell into such a field because of He Yi's rebellion. Not only did he fail to capture Huainan smoothly, but he also ended up resisting the Cao-Liu coalition army here.

In his heart, he couldn't help but be extremely sensitive to the word "anti". After thinking about it for a while, he decided that it would be better to take Wei Yan with him first and let him be his guard commander for the time being.

First, you can slowly observe and think about why Zhuge Liang said that Wei Yan will be reversed after a long time; Second, Wei Yan is young, so he can study hard with him first, and in the future, he can go to share his worries alone.

Thinking of this, he threw his hand and put his hand on Wei Yan's shoulder, and said to Wei Yan, who was with a backbone on his head.

"Chief! Other people may be proficient in all the eighteen martial arts, but I am a person who is proficient in Hugh, and even the hands that can't touch the side are powerless. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "At this time of chaos, I desperately need a warrior like you to protect my safety, I wonder if you are willing to submit to the command of my guards?" ”

Although Wei Yan is young, he is extremely smart. Hearing this, he thought to himself: "The lord's guard commander, that's not something ordinary people can do, this is to treat me Wei Yan as a confidant!" ”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly clenched his fists and said loudly: "Thank you for your lordship's attention, and you will swear to defend the lord's safety!" From now on, as long as Yan is here in the lord, even if he dies, he will not let the enemy hurt a cold hair of the lord! ”

"Haha......" Hua Fei laughed loudly, patted Wei Yan's shoulder happily, and said continuously, "Okay!" ”

After being happy, he asked Wei Yan in a harmonious voice: "I heard that Wen Chang is good at using knives, but unfortunately he didn't have a good weapon. I don't know if this is true? ”

"Lord!" Wei Yan puffed up his chest and said in a loud voice, "Yan's martial arts are a wild way, and they have all been trained by hunting in this reckless Tongbai Mountain since childhood. ”

As he spoke, he paused and continued: "Yan can not only use knives, but also guns, swords, halberds and other weapons, and Yan can also shoot a good arrow. ”

Saying that, he bowed his head, "Alas! He sighed, his eyes were slightly red, and he choked up: "It's a pity that Yan's parents died since he was a child, and he was alone to make a living when he was a child, but he had no money to buy a good weapon, which made the lord laugh." ”

Hua Fei heard him say that he was born in life, only to know that he was lonely, without relatives, no reason, and no one to love, thinking that he lived alone in this troubled world, and he didn't know how much suffering he had suffered and how many sins he had suffered.

couldn't help but say emotionally: "Don't be sad! When you arrive in the army, you naturally understand that all of us here will be your brothers and sisters, and I, Hua Fei, will love and care for you like an eldest brother. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said to He Man: "He Man! Since Wen Chang has not yet used a weapon, and you are not used to the three-pointed and two-edged knife obtained from Ji Ling, you can take it to Wen Chang to see. ”

He Man should give his hand and "Wow!" "I went, and after a while, I brought the three-pointed and two-edged knife weighing sixty-two pounds. Stretched out one arm and raised it straight in front of Wei Yan and said, "Here you go!" ”

Wei Yanyan took it and weighed it with one hand, but it was not light or heavy. Raised and danced two knife flowers, and then raised the three-dust two-edged knife to take a closer look.

But suddenly, from those star-like eyes, a strange brilliance was released. He even lost his mouth and said to Hua Fei: "This is ...... Where did the lord get this blade? (To be continued.) )
