After doing this, Li Ru looked at the west and said, "Zhuge Kongming, you are indeed very powerful, counting our Sixth Legion has suffered two losses in your hands. But you remember, there will never be a next time for such a thing. ”

Xu Rong, the first commander of the Sixth Legion, died under the command of Zhuge Liang, and this was also the only legion commander who died on the battlefield. And after so many years, Dian Wei was defeated by Zhuge Liang again, and Li Ru, as a military advisor, was naturally unhappy, but he did know that with only 100,000 people and an infantryman, he was incapable of reversing the situation, and he could only wait for an opportunity.

After running all the way, the next morning, Yan Liangcai escorted the injured and fainted corps commander Dian Wei back to Kunyang. And at this moment, the number of cavalry that was originally with him has been reduced by nearly half.

"General Yan, you protect the corps commander to withdraw first, and leave it to me here." Ma Yu, who came over early, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Dian Wei was only unconscious and not killed in battle. What he is most worried about is that something happens to the legion commander, in this case, as the deputy commander of the sixth legion, he also has a great responsibility.

"No, you protect the legion commander and retreat, and I will resist the pursuers of Xishu." Yan Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was safe. Truth be told, no one cares more than he does if Dian Wei is safe.

I think that at the beginning, Commander Xu Rong died in battle to save himself, and this time he went out with Dian Wei, if something happened, he didn't know how to explain to Zhang Chao.

"Okay, General Yan, this is what the military advisor meant, you have been fighting for a few days, you should take a good rest, rest assured, I am just here to block the pursuers, and I will not fight with them." Ma Yu shook his head, not to mention that Yan Liang didn't close his eyes for a few days and nights, just saying that it was the intention of the military advisor to stay behind, and he didn't have the courage to disobey the military order.

Yan Liang heard that this was what Li Ru meant, and he didn't force it, so he retreated with Dian Wei. The horses left behind to play, immediately arranged for their archers to do a good job of blocking the enemy, and at the same time they were ready to retreat after two arrows.

It didn't take long for the sound of horses' hooves falling to the ground in front of him, and then a general with a leopard's head and ringed eyes with 30,000 cavalry appeared in the sight of the horse play general.

"Shoot the arrows." Without waiting for the opponent to get close to the effective range of the bow and arrow, Ma Yu first gave the order to draw the bow, and then the 10,000 archers released the bow and arrow in their hands.

Zhang Fei, who was pursuing, saw the bow and arrows attacking in front of him, so he instinctively drank the war horse and watched those bows and arrows fall on the ground not far ahead.

But after only hesitating for a moment, Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "There are not many archers on the other side, everyone rush up with me to kill the enemy." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Fei was the first to rush forward with the Zhangba snake spear, and the Jingzhou cavalry behind him also followed in large numbers.

They were greeted by the second draw of the bow and arrow in the horse play army, and when the bow and arrow were fired, whether or not they hit the enemy, they turned around and ran.

"Chase." Seeing that he had lost hundreds of cavalry with a bow and arrow, Zhang Fei said angrily, this is still the first resistance encountered by chasing all the way.

It's just that Ma Yu reacted too quickly, and he had already run away, waiting for Zhang Fei to lead the cavalry, and when he approached with the strength of his feet, more than 10,000 archers of the Sixth Legion rushed out next to the official road, and they shot straight at the bow and arrow.

In this way, some cavalry of the Sixth Legion will rush out within a distance, and they will all shoot two rounds of bows and arrows and retreat, and they will not hit a single greeting, so that Zhang Fei can't catch up with the shadow if he wants to kill, and he must always be on guard against the surprise attack of bows and arrows.

The 100,000 army of Ma Play actually established ten lines of defense, and when Zhang Fei broke through these ten lines of defense, Li Ru had already joined Yan Liang and took the unconscious Dian Wei for dozens of miles.

"Chase, no matter what, even if it is the ends of the earth, you have to chase them." Zhang Fei was not reconciled to the current results, until now, he had not even killed a third-grade military general in the Celestial Dynasty, this was not his goal at all.

Zhang Fei was still chasing with cavalry behind, but then he saw thistles, and even explosives that were ambushed in the ground waiting for them.

Knowing that it was impossible to catch up with the enemy, Zhang Fei angrily stuck the Zhangba snake spear on the ground, and then said angrily: "Count you running fast." Hum! Withdrawal! ”

In the Battle of Kunyang, Wei Yan first lost 70,000 cavalry and 10,000 archers, and returned defeated. Next, under the counterattack of the large chain crossbows, the Sixth Army was defeated, and the original cavalry of more than 200,000 finally fled back to only about 80,000 people, so that the formation of a legion was almost scattered.

After Zhuge Liang followed the infantry army to Kunyang and occupied this place, he was still lamenting that the number of his cavalry was too small, and he was still thinking that if Wei Yan had changed to infantry without 70,000 cavalry at the beginning, then Zhang Fei would have enough strength to chase the enemy, and maybe the results could be expanded.

Zhuge Liang, who was annoyed that Wei Yan had brought too many cavalry, was even more angry about Dongwu's approach. Obviously, he could catch up with Zhang Chao quickly, at least he could join forces with himself to attack the Sixth Legion in Kunyang City, but because of their timidity, they missed the perfect opportunity, so that the Sixth Legion still escaped, and even the main general did not kill a single person, which is really a pity.

This incident made Zhuge Liang see that it was not enough to make a big deal with Dongwu. However, the current strength of the Celestial Empire is too strong, if it is not for the alliance with Dongwu, the odds of victory can only be lower, even if he knows that there are such useless allies, he has to grit his teeth and endure it now.

The Sixth Army was still a hundred miles away from Xuchang City and joined the Seventh Army Zhang Liao's headquarters that came to meet them, and then the two armies retreated to Xuchang City and met the emperor Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao decisively withdrew from Runan, which frustrated Zhuge Liang's plan to encircle, which was originally a good thing, but the Sixth Army was indeed defeated, facing Li Ru, Yan Liang, and Ma Play who knelt on the ground to ask for guilt, he waved his hand and said: "The three of you will remember it once, and you will be fined for half a year." ”

This was already a very light punishment, and the three of Li Ru immediately kowtowed to the ground and knelt on the ground.

Zhuge Liang's sudden intervention made Zhang Chao understand that there may be no one who wants to unify the whole country in the short term. The Western Shu army has just won the battle, and its momentum is strong, and it is not suitable to be an enemy at this moment. Fortunately, the other party also knows that they are strong, and in the case of not leaving Xuchang, they will only consolidate their strength and seize the territory in Yuzhou, but they have no courage to attack themselves.

Thinking about it for some time, Zhang Chao arranged for the Seventh Army to be stationed in Xuchang to defend Zhuge Liang to play any tricks, and he himself withdrew from Yuzhou to Sili with the injured Sixth Army Corps and the elite First Army, and it was about to be winter, and he also had to go back to recuperate, reorganize the army, and accumulate strength.

In 207 AD, at the end of November of the fourth year of the Celestial Dynasty, Zhang Chao, the first emperor of the Heavens, recovered Xuzhou, occupied a section of Xuchang in Yuzhou, and returned to the dynasty after a battle with Zhuge Liang.

The army first arrived in Luoyang, where Zhang Chao met Guo Jia, the minister of Yipin, who solved the problem of Hedong.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." As soon as he saw Zhang Chao in front of Luoyang City, Guo Jia fell to his knees. Immediately, Gao Shun and other generals behind him also knelt on the ground one by one.

"Get up." Zhang Chao smiled, he was not surprised by Guo Jia's sycophancy.

It is true to say that Guo Jia is talented, but this person also has some bad habits, such as being uninhibited, drinking and liking, and liking freedom. Zhang Chao has heard that if there is nothing to do, and there is no need to go to court, this person usually sleeps until three poles in the morning before getting up.

And Guo Jia has seven wives, that is, one more than Zhang Chaodu. Although as the Celestial Empire became stronger and stronger, in order for the Zhang family to have more children and grandchildren, the emperor Cai Yan also presided over several palace drafts, and also found some good-looking maids for Zhang Chao, but in general, everyone recognized that it was still the six ladies. But Guo Jia has one more. In this way, many ministers participated in this matter, saying that Guo Jia's behavior was a bit beyond the meaning of imperial power.

For this reason, some people kindly reminded Guo Jia and asked him to take the initiative to ask Zhang Chao to plead guilty.

What makes everyone puzzled is that Guo Jia does not seem to have heard of it, and he has no intention of admitting his mistake at all, but he is not looking for a wife, even if he has a favorite woman, he is just accepted as a maid, and he is not given a formal share.

These things were reported to Zhang Chao, and he just smiled, and there was no follow-up. Guo Jiaqi, what is his ability, Zhang Chao is naturally very clear. Because of early prevention and the help of Hua Tuo, this person's life expectancy has become longer, and he can better serve the Celestial Empire, but the country is easy to change, his nature has changed, and the habits of good wine and sex have not changed. For these, Zhang Chao believes that it is a small way in the end, no one is perfect, so why can't you allow others to make mistakes.

As for saying that Na's wife has one more than himself, it is also unintentional to think of it. After knowing the mistake, he can prove his attitude in Bulifu. That being the case, why blame?

For the sake of a little thing, he insisted on ruining the life of a great talent, Zhang Chao would not do such a stupid thing.

Zhang Chao can see it, and it is precisely because of his generosity that Guo Jia is more loyal and effective, such as this time in Hedong, he could not have come in person, but he still came in person, because he felt that things were not simple, and wanted to strangle all dangers as soon as possible, to put it bluntly, in order to reduce hidden dangers for Zhang Chao.
