Sima Yi was depressed, he never thought that he would actually take the opposite path, he felt that he was also a generation of wise men, capable of literature and martial arts, and this kind of thing was generally not related to him, and he never thought that this situation would occur today.

Wancheng is an important line of defense in the north of Jingzhou, and Xinye and Fancheng are called Jingzhou's three northern front positions, although it is a border, but there is no doubt that it is already the territory of Liu Biao and Liu Bei, Sima Yi wants to return to Hebei, and does not want to go to Jingzhou by mistake, no wonder although he took the mountain road, he did not encounter the enemy army along the way, and he was Jingzhou County, and he must have been in a hurry to catch up with the north, who would have thought that the enemy's important mastermind would actually go the opposite way, desperately running to his hometown, isn't this sick?

There is also a cold place in the north, which should be getting colder and colder as it goes, no wonder it has been getting hotter and hotter recently, Sima Yi thought it was a beautiful day, and deliberately gave himself a few good days.

Sima Yi looked at the sky speechlessly, what should I do in this situation now?

Needless to say, his ultimate goal must be to find a way to turn around and return to Hebei, but now that he has arrived in Jingzhou, there is already a long distance from Hebei, and it is quite difficult for Guan Yu to pass five passes and kill six generals back then.

The problem is that Guan Yu is covered by Cao Cao, although there are difficulties along the way, but there are no dangers, he Sima Yi wants to go back to Hebei, but is it so easy?

Let's not say that I don't have Guan Yu's force value, Liu Bei's army returns to Jingzhou, whether he will touch Jingzhou's soldiers and horses along the way is still a matter of two words, except for a broken horse by his side now, he doesn't even have a pawn to block the knife, in case something happens, a pavilion chief can tie himself up at will, the danger is too great

What to do, what to do The top priority is to change this armor and robe first, and then eat a full meal. Find your way back again.

But the question is, where to change? You can't cover your shame with leaves, can you?

Thinking back to reality, Sima Yi turned his head to these children, and his eyes lit up.

"Children, my uncle has come from afar, and he is lost, tired and hungry, and wants to ask you to borrow something to eat and drink, and a clean set of clothes, children, wake up. Poor poor uncle, is it done? ”

The children's movements and expressions were very consistent, and they said in unison, "No! ”

Sima Yi's face suddenly darkened: "For what?" ”

"My mother said that if you want something, you have to pay labor, or you have to exchange your own things, and you can't take them for nothing."

Sima Yi frowned.

This is really fucking simple folk customs!

Sima Yi let out a long sigh, then pointed to the armor on his body and said, "Children, this armor on my uncle's body is made of pure iron smelting. It is extremely hard, and this red robe is Xichuan Shu brocade, which is not expensive. It shouldn't be a problem to change your clean clothes, right? ”

When the children heard that you looked at me and I looked at you, they seemed to be a little moved.

Sima Yi struck iron by heat. He pointed to the war horse behind him again, and laughed in a low voice: "There is also this horse, although it is a little thinner." It's a little crooked, but it's also a first-class horse in its heyday, and my uncle doesn't ask for goodbye, so I exchange this war horse for your two country chickens to satisfy your cravings, right? Isn't this a loss? ”

When the children heard this, they immediately surrounded the city and exchanged heads and ears together.

"Is this man sick, taking iron armor for clothes, and horses for chickens?"

"My mother said that in addition to the beasts, the brains of the soldiers are not very bright, and they are easy to fool."

"No matter how bright he is, he can't be like this, I think he was beaten stupid"

"Maybe I'm stupid from hunger."

"Then do you think we can change it?"

"He's stupid, you're stupid too? The wronged head is sent to the door, why don't you change it? ”

"That is, if we don't change it, we will be beaten to death by our father and mother when we come back."

"That's right, such a good deal, if you don't change it, you're a loser"

After all, the children are still young and can't control their voices well, although they are talking to each other, but one of them was accidentally overheard by Sima Yi next to him.

But after seeing that the children finished discussing, they turned around together, waved at Sima Yi and said, "Uncle, then you come with us!" ”

Sima Yi looked up to the sky and smiled, shaking his head helplessly.

It's really a simple place for people!

******************************

And the state of the river, in the Taishou Mansion Chamber.

This is the first military meeting held after all the soldiers and horses returned from the division, and the generals and ministers of all ministries are there, and it is true that it can be said that it is a major meeting with only a handful of personnel after Yuan Shang inherited Yuan Shao's position.

After the generals and ministers of the various ministries gathered together, Yuan Shang casually and solemnly started the meeting.

After quietly scanning everyone, Yuan Shang suddenly stood up and gave a deep snort to everyone.

Among the people, led by Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and others, all of them were frightened and stupid, and they got up one after another, and hurriedly returned the salute to Yuan Shang.

Tian Feng's beard trembled slightly, and said, "Lord, what are you doing?" But it torments us and waits! ”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "Looking for you today, Yuan is not for anything else, just to reflect and apologize to you solemnly, because of this battle, the ultimate reason why we lost and returned is because of me, because of my carelessness, because of my complacency, because of my arrogance and anxiety, which led to this war without a good ending. Everything is to blame on Yuan. ”

When Tian Feng heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "The lord can't say that, although we are back in this battle, after all, we have obtained the fertile land of Guanzhong for thousands of miles, and have been annexed by the Xiliang army, and the power has been greatly expanded. ”

Yuan Shang shook his head. Said: "Right is right, wrong is wrong, I am wrong, I have to admit my mistake, Mr. Tian doesn't have to cover for me, this is what Yuan Shang should do, besides, I'm sorry for the dead soldiers, I'm sorry for the soldiers who followed me out of Hebei, but didn't return, I'm sorry for the parents, wives and children who are waiting for their return in the land of Sizhou, and I'm sorry for Sima Yi, who is still missing!" ”

The court was full of people, and their eyes couldn't help but be a little sour when they heard the words. While the grief was rekindled in his heart, a wave of incomparable respect for Yuan Shang rose.

When Yuan Shang said this, his eye circles were also a little red. Tears swirled in his starry eyes.

I saw Yuan Shang snort vigorously, and said in a lamenting tone: "So, in order to prevent those soldiers who innocently lost their lives because of my strategic mistakes from resting in peace, and in order to give them a fair life, Yuan decided to kill himself in front of everyone today!" ”

"Huh?"

"What!"

"Lord!"

When everyone heard this, they were all anxious. They thought about it for a long time, but they didn't expect Yuan Shang to say such a sentence, and they were all shocked.

Only Tian Feng and Fu Zhi glanced at each other and sighed helplessly. And Deng Chang Lao'er secretly yawned, looking east and west, as if he hadn't heard what Yuan Shang had just said.

"My lord, it's not cute. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the lord must not commit suicide! ”

Yuan Shang wiped his nose vigorously and wiped his tears. He casually pulled out the sword at his waist and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, no one should stop me, whoever stops me will be in a hurry!" ”

After saying that, I saw Yuan Shang suddenly turn around, pull out the sword that followed Duo with a "brush", and raised his hand to the neck!

Among the generals, Li Damu, one of the former leaders of the Black Mountain Thieves, took the lead in running out, knelt beside Yuan Shang at once, hugged Yuan Shang's thigh, and cried: "Lord! No! If you're dead, how can we live! How big is it for you! ”

Yuan Shang raised his leg and kicked Li Damu away, and sobbed: "Roll the calf!" Didn't I say it, whoever stops me will be in a hurry! It's useless for you to tell me this, I'm telling you I'm going to die! No one can do it! ”

"My lord, no! ~”

"Lord, you can't be so suicidal!"

"My lord, if you die, I won't live anymore!"

"That is to say, my lord, we occupy the land of Guanzhong, and it can be regarded as expanding the territory, this time we were calculated by Cao Liu, and we will fight back next time, why bother!"

Seeing that the fire was almost over, he immediately came out to make a round and arched his hand: "Lord, what the generals said is right, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and those who have become kings since ancient times, which one has not lost a battle?" We have all stepped over such a big hurdle in the battle of Guandu back then, why not fail a little bit here? Besides, if you die, who should the Yuan family rely on to preside over the overall situation? Who can save the Han family and save the world from fire and water? It doesn't matter if you die alone, but you have suffered our courtiers and the people of the world. ”

Yuan Shang touched his tears and said, "Am I that important?" ”

Frustrated and helpless, he said solemnly on his face: "Of course there is." ”

"But I'm guilty!"

"It doesn't matter if you are guilty, when Cao Cao led the troops to recruit Zhang Xiu, he went into the field, violated his military order, and should have been beheaded, but for the sake of the overall situation of the Cao family, he cut the right to act as the head, and the lord might as well follow suit?"

Yuan Shang hesitated when he heard this: "Is this okay?" It's so unfair, right? ”

Hearing this, the generals hurriedly said: "Fair, fair! The lord might as well cut his hair, take his own body as a crime, and wait for Cao Liu in the future, is it not too late to do it? ”

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this, and said, "Then follow what the generals said first?" ”

The generals said in unison: "Please think about it!" ”

"Okay, then I'm not going to die today."

Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Yuan Shang put the sword back in the sheath, and then suddenly changed his words, and said: "However, Cao Cao cut his own hair, the right to substitute for the crime, if I also cut my own hair today, but there is some suspicion of imitating him, it is really not my character or should I cut it in another place, everyone help me think about it, where should I cut my own self?" ”

At this moment, the generals made a difficulty.

Cutting myself myself, except for my hair, I think there is really no good place.

But seeing Deng Chang blinking his eyes, he suddenly said: "Cao Cao cut off his hair, there is really no creativity, he is really inferior, if you want to cut the earth-shattering ghosts and gods, your subordinates think that you can't do it from the palace!" ”
