"There is no order from Lord Taiwei! No one is allowed to approach the prisoner camp, this is a strict order! Do you want to disobey the orders of the Captain? Yes? Xu Yi led people to block the gate of the prisoner camp, and shouted loudly in the face of the constantly persecuted Cao soldiers; These murderous Cao soldiers were all bandaged, you can see the extent of their injuries, some even broke their hands and feet, their eyes were red, like packs of wolves, cruel and bloodthirsty!

Even if Xu Yi is very bold, he will inevitably be weak-hearted, because he really doesn't know how to deal with these comrades when he faces them, if they really rush in, what will he do? Xu Yi fell into deep doubts, and smiled bitterly in her heart; Xu Yi inherited Xu Chu's figure, and also inherited Xu Chu's strange power, among the generals of the small character generation, only Cao Zhang can compare with him, such as Lu Bin, Dian Man, etc. are inferior to him, he and Dian Man have not inherited the profound martial arts of their fathers; On the one hand, it is because their parents have no time to teach them personally, on the other hand, it may be that the elders have lived a lot of hard lives and want to make their childhood better, so their martial arts are a lot worse, that is, during the period of Li Yu's leisure, the academy formed by him and Lu Bu has trained them fiercely, and they will not let them be too ordinary and waste their talents, at least a brave general can still be called a brave general; Far away, Xu Yi moved out of Li Yu's name to make these angry soldiers hesitate a little, but then they were even more manic and aggressive!

"General! Look! Look! Yes! Our brothers have since become invalids with broken hands and feet, and the culprit who caused us to be like this is the Shu army you protect! Damn them! Why should our military doctors treat their wounds?"

"That's right! Why! Checkmate! We can't swallow this! Look at my wounds! A veteran ripped off the bandage on his body and pointed to the wounds on his arms: "This is the one who was scalded by boiling oil during the siege of Fengqiu in the Battle of Fengqiu!" ”

The veteran pointed to the wound on his chest and shoulder: "This is left by the Battle of Wancheng, and this is left by the Battle of Guandu!" This is left behind by the pacification of the Karasuma alien race! The amazing thing is that the veteran doesn't have any scars on his back, which proves that he is a true warrior! Brave and brave to death!

The veteran was on crutches because half of his paw was gone! "We just can't swallow that! Checkmate! If you don't give way today", the veteran pulled out the saber on his body, Xu Yi was shocked, but he didn't expect the veteran to drop the knife on his neck, choking sadly:

"My son has just turned twenty years old, about the same age as a general, but he is dead, and I am also disabled, how can I go back and explain to his grandmother, my mother? If my mother asks me, "Son! Where is Ah Niu? How do you ask me to answer? Yes? If you don't give way today, I'd rather die!" ”

The sharp blade stuck in his neck, a trace of blood flowed down, Xu Yi panicked: "I am a military order, I can't disobey!" ”

The veteran laughed miserably, closed his eyes, and was about to touch his neck, but found that someone was holding the knife, he could feel it, and the surroundings exclaimed: "Lord Taiwei", the veteran opened his eyes, and the gray-faced Li Yu was holding his blade; "Sir!" , The veteran cried out aggrievedly, Li Yu patted him on the shoulder, slowly broke his palm, took his saber in his hand, and inserted it into the scabbard, the wound on the palm was very large, and the blood was flowing, but Li Yu didn't care at all; Facing the surging Cao soldiers of the Cao Army, Li Yu stood on a boulder beside him, looked at them, and said slowly: "Brothers! I know your hearts are painful! I know you're uncomfortable, and so am I! Tens of thousands of robes are buried in the battlefield, and the corpses can be stacked into a mountain!

Do you think I feel good in my heart? Do you think we are trading the lives of our soldiers for fame and fortune? Definitely! At this moment, I also want to kill the Shu army and avenge my brothers! But I can't!

We are all Han people, we are born from the same root, why are we in a hurry? It was our fate to meet on the battlefield, but now, the war is over, we can no longer kill these unarmed Shu soldiers, they are no longer soldiers! They are just ordinary people!

What are we fighting on the battlefield for, fighting in the south and north for decades? Isn't it just to let the people have food, clothing, safety and tranquility? We are the patron saints who protect them, not the beasts who kill them! ”

The soldiers of the Cao army were listening, and Li Yu's face turned red and shouted: "This is righteousness, this is humanity!" This is our pursuit! Today, I make it clear that the Wei State has always been committed to the development of the army, and the treatment of the soldiers, we will not let everyone who serves the country shed blood and tears!

Whether the wounded have healing, or the disabled have food! Or maybe it's arranged by the families of the martyrs! We will supervise it strictly! Whoever dares to make a black hand on our robes, Lao Tzu will chop off whose claws! Brethren, do not lose your courage in life!

Don't be afraid of what the road ahead holds! You have countless brothers who are helping you! I beg you to heal for the time being, and don't let the wounds get worse! Let's go back! Let's go back! They're just ordinary people."

The soldiers' fierce performance is that they are full of fear of their future life, they don't know what else they can do after they are disabled, unknown things are always scary, Li Yu's relief and commitment make them feel a little better; "Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son. How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child. How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

Li Yu sang in a sad voice, and since the song "Qin Feng" has strengthened the belief of the soldiers, over and over again, some people sang together, and slowly the entire Fancheng base camp sounded the vicissitudes of life and the simple melody The matter was solved; The corners of Li Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and he fell to the ground

Xuchang, in the palace, Cao Pi pinched the battle report in his hand, on the one hand, it was happy and the other side was sad, and the mixed mood was the most uncomfortable, Cao Pi frowned: "The teacher turned the tide and defeated Guan Yu on the front line of Fancheng and forced him to retreat to Nanxiang, what do you think?" ”

This is a secret discussion, not a court discussion, the people around him are all resourceful and decisive people, the older generation of Jia Xu, Dong Zhao, Hua Xin, the younger Cao Zhi, Sima Yi, Yang Xiu, it is worth mentioning that Yang Xiu is now an official; He is a resourceful person himself, but it's a pity that because the Yang family has been tied to Emperor Xian's chariot of the Han Dynasty, how many nails can be twisted in that broken car? His talent has nowhere to be displayed, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty has been abolished, the old lady Yang Biao has also become an ancient, and the person who knows the times is Junjie, and the new generation of the head of the Yang family has taken refuge in Cao Pi; This is the trend of the times, and if you don't take refuge and wait, you may perish, and Cao Pi is also an eclectic figure in terms of employing people, even Cao Zhi, a brother who may threaten his position, dares to use it, instead of suppressing it, which shows his open-mindedness and courage; Cao Zhi was stunned: "The intensity of the war is really rare in modern times!" Brother Huang! At this time, we must not chill the hearts of the soldiers, and we will properly resettle the families of the martyrs and the disabled soldiers as soon as possible! In addition, it is better to build a martyr's cemetery in the capital to commemorate the soldiers who served the Wei State! ”

"What the general said is extremely true, this move can unite the hearts of the soldiers, after all, these days, our army has not only suffered heavy casualties, but also suffered many defeats", Yang Xiu whispered: "It is best that Your Majesty will personally worship every year!" In addition, no matter how many casualties our army suffered in this battle, it was a great victory after all, and we should release news to tell the soldiers everywhere that our victory will surely boost morale! ”

Cao Pi nodded: "That's it, it's very good!" Zijian! The construction of the martyrs' cemetery will be left to you! Built outside the city of Xuchang, in addition, you are talented, write some poems to mourn the martyrs' heroic souls, I will send someone to help you! ”

Cao Zhi nodded yes, and Dong Zhao on the side said: "Lord Taiwei has stabilized the situation, after this battle, Wu and Shu will definitely not dare to underestimate us!" The battle situation on the southern front will also be turned upside down, and it may be quiet for a while! At this time, Your Majesty should also stabilize the foundation of the Central Plains! ”

"Nope! The battle on the Southern Front will definitely not subside! It's only going to get worse! We defeated the arrogant Guan Yu this time, defeated the 200,000 army of Shu State, and eliminated the current crisis! But it will also let Wu and Shu see the heritage of our Wei State! The alliance between them will become even stronger!

Jingzhou will become the center of the tripartite wrestling between Wei, Shu and Wu! Your Majesty, let's send soldiers to replenish the troops as soon as possible! In addition, the 150,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses in the Tongguan area should also be expanded, and Chang'an must occupy it, and then threaten Hanzhong and disrupt the rear of Shu! The forces of Wu north of the Yangtze River must also be driven away, this is the most important thing! ”

Jia Xu opened his eyes and said loudly, Cao Pi has respect for this old man, and Li Yu also has a high opinion of him, thinking that this is a person who can defeat him, so Cao Pi attaches great importance to his words, and Cao Pi's respect for Jia Xu has another reason; That is, Cao Cao hesitated because of the question of the heir, and later asked this old guy, Jia Xu only said one sentence, which made Cao Cao have a certain number in his heart, what Jia Xu said was: Don't you see the three sons of the Yuan family?

"I mean, it's better to take this opportunity to pacify the Gongsun Du of Liaodong first, fight against the aliens, stabilize the rear and then engage in a confrontation with Wu and Shu!" , Dong Zhao added blandly, he is not qualified to argue with Jia Xu, although he is a minister from the dragon; Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty sent Wei Wenchang, the general of the expedition to the north, as an envoy to Liaodong, which is undoubtedly a wise decision!" Wei Wenchang is bold, careful, brave and strategic, maybe the matter of Liaodong has been solved! ”

Some things are just a coincidence, Wei Yan's military report happened to be delivered, Cao Pi looked at Jia Xu in shock, and exclaimed: "Mr. Wenhe is really a god!" Look! Wen Chang went to the meeting single-handedly, killed Gongsun Du's father and son, and recruited more than 100,000 Liaodong military horses in one fell swoop with a suspicious strategy! Liaodong is pacified! He asked me to send officials to govern! ”

Boy! Go to the meeting alone! What a boldness! Cao Pi has a lot of face on his face! Of course, Wei Yan also made it clear that the 100,000 people were all "water army" and it was not worth mentioning, most of them were people, but even so, the credit was not small!

Cao Pi was overjoyed: "Edict, seal the northern general Wei Yan as a prestige"

After the happy event passed, Sima Yi looked at Cao Pi: "Your Majesty, when you watched the battle report on the southern front, you were a little worried, why?" Sima Yi's ability to observe words and colors is very good, and Cao Pi sighed and confided the truth when asked:

"A victory is a victory, but the teacher is sick again! As a student of Mr., Mr. and I have the grace of teaching, the love of a father, whether as a student or a junior, I can't bear to see him work so hard, but the southern war situation urgently needs him to preside over the overall situation, I feel uncomfortable! ”

"Sick?" Several people looked at each other a little, and after thinking for a while, Jia Xu got up and said, "Ruo, Your Majesty can be trusted!" This old bone can still be tossed for a while! The minister is willing to go to Fancheng to help Huaide stabilize the situation! ”

"This", Cao Pi seemed very hesitant, Jia Xu is old, I'm really afraid that he can't afford to toss! Jia Xu said in a stiff voice: "Your Majesty, is it because you dislike the old minister? Useless? ”

Cao Pi hurriedly waved his hand: "How come?" How? I'm just a little worried, sir! If you insist on going, I should agree, but I hope that Mr. will take care of your health! ”

Wu State, the capital city of Lingyang, is also in the palace, Sun Quan is also pinching the battle report in his hand, half is happy and half is worried, happy is the joy of gloating, worry is that he has seen something different, as a monarch, he must have a very far-sighted; There were also many resourceful people gathered around him, Lu Xun and Lu Su were beside him, and Sun Quan was expressionless: "Guan Yu rushed into the Fancheng area and was sniped by Cao Jun Li Yu and led by the army, and fought with him for a bloody day and defeated him!" What do you think? ”

Lu Su looked at Sun Quan, although he was asking questions, as if he was asking everyone, his eyes were always fixed on him, and he got up and said, "The minister thinks that our connection with Shu is even stronger?" ”

"Huh?" Sun Quan frowned slightly: "What do you mean?" There are no eternal friends and enemies between countries, and now although Shu has formed an alliance with Wu, their behavior of stealing several counties in Jingzhou has always been hated by Wu, and Sun Quan is the same, he is wondering if he wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, fall into the well, and seek some benefits; Lu Su knew very well how Sun Quan didn't know what he was thinking, and immediately said: "Our forces in Jiangbei have been suppressed and threatened by the Cao army, and we can only support it hard, this is our way to the north, and it has been blocked!"

To the west is Jiangxia, we can't break through either, Wei can still stabilize its position in the face of the joint suppression of Wu and Shu, and they can counterattack Their foundation is too strong! If Wu wants to forge ahead, he must first join forces with Shu; The two countries can only work together to defeat the Wei State, and when the Wei State is defeated, it is also the day when we join forces with the Wei State, and the enemy will be transformed into the Shu State at that time. ”

Frankly speaking, Lu Su's words were very unpleasant, and what he said was a little too direct, so that Sun Quan was faintly unhappy in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, what Lu Su said was really like that, and Sun Quan sighed and said: "Okay then!" Zhuge Jin! Liaise with Shu to state our position; ”

Zhuge Jin nodded and said yes, what he is now serving is the position of this liaison officer, which has become the link of communication between Wu and Shu, the bridge of contact, his talent is not only this, but the country needs it, he can't shirk, who told him to have a younger brother to be a big official in Shu!

"Lu Xun! How's the training going? Sun Quan looked at the silent Lu Xun again, and the battle with Cao Jun Sun Quan knew the benefits of cavalry, it is true that where there is a flow of water, the speed of going down the river may be faster than that of the cavalry, but the places where there is a flow of water are all in the south after all; Sun Quan must have cavalry if he wants to go further, and he got 20,000 horses in the transaction with Shu, all of which were handed over to Lu Xun and asked him to train a cavalry; It's not that he doesn't have cavalry, it's just that the southern horses used by these cavalry are too different from the northern ones; Moreover, in the past, his cavalry was used to assist the sailors and infantry in combat, not the main force but just vassals, and their concepts were difficult to change, so Sun Quan decided to use good horses and carefully selected warriors to train a main cavalry army!

Lu Xun clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, the training month has only just taught them to ride a horse!" He didn't have a trace of shame, and said very calmly, but Sun Quan was very unhappy: "Aren't they all able to ride horses?" What's the difference? ”

"Naturally, the usual riding posture is different from that on the battlefield, the details determine success or failure, and I hope Your Majesty will wait for more time!" , Lu Xun said very seriously, Sun Quan: "How long will it take?" ”

"Three months! Able to make them take shape! After that, you have to fight on the battlefield to grow into an elite, Cao Jun's cavalry grew up in the cavalry duel of countless princes, it takes a long time to grow to their level, and the southerners are not familiar with the cavalry formation, nor do they know how to cooperate with the strength of horses, these need to be solved! ”

Lu Xun replied meticulously, and Lu Su beside him also smiled: "I have a way to solve this problem, maybe it can shorten some time!" ”

"Oh?" , Sun Quan: "What's the way?" Lu Su bowed: "After the first battle of Lingyang, our army captured a lot of Cao soldiers, more than 20,000 people, these people were all recruited by His Majesty as servants to build the palace, many of these people are Cao Jun's cavalry!" ”

"They have long been dissatisfied with this, but now let them out and pick up swords and guns, will they not rebel? It's not right, it's not right! Sun Quan shook his head; Hehe! Your Majesty is worried! The minister means to draw some people out of it as instructors, so that they will be grateful to His Majesty after comparing those who are still serving in the service, and they will naturally teach each other, so that our cavalry will grow up quickly, and besides, let alone release hundreds of people in the ranks of more than 20,000 people in our army, and dare to have different intentions? ”

Lu Su said with a smile, and Sun Quan's eyes lit up: "Well, good idea!" ”； Lu Su is using the bad roots of human nature to drive people, it is hard to imagine that he would have this kind of thought, he is also a master of psychology

Lu Xun: "Mr. Zijing's idea is indeed feasible, I am willing to give it a try, if it doesn't work, it's okay to make another plan!" ”

"Then it's decided!" Sun quan;
