Section 1 Defeat without Surrender [I]

The moonlight is slanting in the west, and the sky is getting dark. But the bunches of torches lit in the barracks dispersed the spread of the night.

After the war, it took most of the hour to clean up the battlefield and count the battle damage. As a result, the Tianping Army, which had not been rested in the middle of the night, had to stay in place for another day.

Zhang Mad knelt in the big tent, listening to Master Tai's report of the battle damage, his face was extremely gloomy.

In the fierce battle last night, the Tianping Army killed more than 40 people, seriously injured more than 30 people, and slightly injured hundreds of people. Of these, one-third of the casualties were caused by accidental injuries and trampling on each other in the darkness of the night.

As for the lost generals, they included the veteran who had followed the arrogance for a long time, He Qian, the deputy head of the scout team, and the remaining five or six fifty and ten leaders.

He Qian's death was silent. He was on guard against the enemy's night attack, and he was killed by a sneak attack from behind with two secret sentinels. According to the examination of the wounds on He Qian's body, he determined that the murderer was the leader of the Zhuo County volunteers who jumped out of the camp wall and escaped with his life - Liu Bei and Liu Xuande!

Such a loss is really a loss compared to the thirty-six heads captured in the counterattack against the enemy.

However, Guo Damu, who bravely stepped forward at the critical moment to block Guan Yu's assault, was lucky not to die on the spot. Guan Yu's invincible knife, because he didn't care about Guo Damu, just cut off one of Guo Damu's hands and legs, and didn't really cut him into three.

It's just that, even so, due to excessive blood loss, with the medical level of the Han Dynasty, it was difficult for Guo Damu to survive a few days.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang felt that he should go to see this life-saving subordinate more. Although Zhang Damu knows it, Guo Damu himself knows that such an injury is basically no longer alive.

The wounded barracks of the Tianping Army are very different from the wounded barracks in the general army. The most intuitive impression is that everything is organized in an orderly manner, and there is no dirty and messy garbage.

This situation is a modern person who understands basic hygiene, and specially formulated health and safety camp rules for the military. Other places are just that, as the most feared wounded barracks of infection, Zhang Qiang specially sent his own soldiers around him to check the health status every day.

It was by relying on the good hygiene of the army and the dietary regulations that boiled the water to drink, that the Tianping Army was able to avoid the large-scale plagues and water and soil adaptation that were extremely common in this era. Ordinary soldiers may not think about this, but they just think that those health regulations are too troublesome. But Xie Xun, who was born in "Jiangmen" [let's count it], was extremely surprised in his heart, and became more and more sure that Zhang Qi had indeed received the guidance of the gods, and his attitude towards Zhang Qi became more and more deferential.

Guo Damu is currently accompanied by two companions. One is a teenager who has always followed him closely. The other is Xiao Dazui, who once had conflicts with him.

Because he knew that his time was short, in front of Zhang Qiang, Guo Damu said his last words.

Guo Damu's last words were not to ask for anything, but to hope that Zhang Qi, the chief general of the First Army, could take care of the young man who had been following him. For this little guy who is only about thirteen or fourteen years old, there are still some impressions in the memory of insolence. He specially guarded the side and comforted Guo Damu's Xiao with a big mouth and asked:

"This little brother, could it be the little brother who raided you in the Battle of Changshe?"

Xiao Dazui touched the yellow scarf on his head embarrassedly, grinned reluctantly, and said:

"Qu Shuai has a good memory. That's this kid. ”

At the time of the defeat of Changshe a few months ago, Xiao Dazui and Guo Damu were both defeated soldiers of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, and after fleeing to the camp of the Tianping Army, there was a clash. At that time, it was the young man who was guarding Guo Damu's side, and in a surprise situation, he successfully captured Xiao Dazui with a weak enemy.

However, the so-called "don't fight, don't know each other", after Guo Damu defected to the Tianping Army for the second time, the two became a pair of friends because of this incident.

"This little Liaozi...... I followed a certain family for a few years,...... There is no other ,...... in one house Just remember it......"

Listening to Guo Damu's difficult entrustment, Zhang Qiang's heart was also deeply moved. He just rewarded Guo Damu with a large piece of meat on the grounds of Guo Damu's bravery in the Battle of Changshe that year. However, Guo Da's reward is his own life!

"What's your name? Be by my side in the future and be my personal soldier! ”

Looking at the young man who was biting his lip on the side, trying not to cry, but biting his lips, he asked in a soft voice.

"A certain family is called Liao Hua...... Qu Shuai, please...... Save Brother Guo......"

The young man who answered intermittently made Zhang Qiang's heart suddenly move.

Liaohua?

Liaohua!

――It must be the Liao Hua in "There is no general in Shu, Liao Hua is a pioneer"!

The historical knowledge in Zhang's mind quickly flipped over, and the record of Liao Hua in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was turned out.

"At the beginning, he was a yellow turban thief, but he was in the rivers and lakes because of the chaos of the world, gathering more than 500 people and looting for a living."

Let's forgive this pseudo-history lover who regards "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as history!

This joy slightly diluted the sadness brought by Guo Da's imminent death to insolence.

After visiting Guo Damu, Zhang Madness came out of the open tent and looked at the sun in the sky, which was very emotional. He stopped, pondered for a moment, and decided to go and see the two captives of last night's battle.

Liao Hua, who was inadvertently sent to the door, made Zhang Mad's mind to subdue the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms ready to move again. Although Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are both famous Liu Bei's sworn friends in history, and there is almost no possibility of betraying Liu Bei, Zhang Yan still has great coveting for these two famous "ten thousand enemies".

Of course, the current Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are still young and have not experienced enough battles, so they can only be regarded as fierce generals at the level of "Thousand People Broken". Otherwise, it will never be easy to capture a "10,000-strong enemy" on the battlefield.

-- In other words, the conditions required to capture the "10,000 enemies" alive are too harsh, and most of the time, it is almost impossible......

However, before meeting with these two peerless generals, Zhang Madness first interrogated the remaining six captured volunteers. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can prescribe the right medicine. If you don't find out the temperament of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, you will rashly open your mouth to persuade them to surrender, and the biggest possibility is to touch your nose on the spot.

Fortunately, among the captured volunteers, there was a veteran, who Liu Bei knew before he raised troops in Zhuo County. For the four leaders of the volunteers, this veteran volunteer knows things that are completely to the extent that he wants.

After carefully combing through the information he had obtained, and feeling that he should be somewhat sure, Zhang Qi raised his head and strode towards the tent where Zhang Fei was being held.

-- The current Zhang Fei is only about 19 years old. Relatively speaking, he is not mentally mature enough, so he should be easier to convince, right?

Thinking so, Zhang Yan called out the guards guarding Zhang Fei to ask. As a result, he was greatly disappointed.

Since he was captured, Zhang Fei has been silent. In the morning, the breakfast served by the guards was still on the floor.

-- It's a bit of a problem.

Frowning, he thought wildly and distressedly.

-- This kind of behavior is like a hell of death!

After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Qiang finally hardened his head and entered the tent where Zhang Fei was held. Zhang Fei sat with his feet spread apart, very rudely, just glanced at Zhang Qiang from the corner of his eye, and immediately returned to a picture of a soul wandering in the world.

"Zhang Fei?"

Zhang Fei was indifferent.

"Zhang Yide?"

Zhang Fei was still speechless.

Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly in his heart.

The appearance of this person is very similar to the style of the second disease in later generations. No matter who you are, no matter what you have to say, I just don't ** you anyway!

I can't catch the arrogance of my mouth, but I don't get annoyed. He took advantage of this opportunity to take a closer look at Zhang Fei's appearance, and fulfilled his obligation to chase stars as a fan of the Three Kingdoms in later generations.

The Zhang Fei in front of him is by no means the black-faced Zhang Fei with "leopard head and ringed eyes, swallow jaw and tiger whiskers" in the legend. In fact, no matter what era you look at, Zhang Fei's appearance can be regarded as a white-faced handsome guy.

――Or is this because Zhang Fei has not been "exposed to the sun for 180 days" now, so his face is not dark enough?

Seeing someone looking at him on the side, Zhang Fei simply rolled his eyes, tilted his body, used the chain in his hand as a pillow, and lay on the ground in a big way. In terms of Han etiquette, this kind of treatment, which was naked, naked contempt, was enough to make anyone who knew a little bit of etiquette furious.

The strange thing is that although the current Zhang Fei is full of blood and mud, and has made such an unreasonable behavior, he is arrogant and feels that such an act is made by Zhang Fei, as if it is flowing water, and it should be his proper attitude.

――Even if he is a prisoner, Zhang Fei is still Zhang Fei!
