The remnant sun shone on the empty field, and the sunset reflected the dead corpses all over the field, as if shrouding them in a blood-colored mist, making the battlefield that had just ended the battle more and more bleak and bleak.

Groups of officers and soldiers, covered in blood and having just experienced bloody battles, were lifting up the cold corpses and throwing them into the big pit that had just been dug.

Pressing the hilt of the sword with his hand, walking on the wilderness full of dead corpses, Liu Wei frowned slightly, he felt that his feet were stepping on the ground, stained with slimy blood, and he was a little sticky when he walked with his feet.

"Your Highness, this kid has killed many of our brothers!" Looking around at the corpses everywhere, Dian Weile, who was stained red with blood all over his body, carried his head, trotted to Liu Bian, lifted the head a little, shook it at Liu Bian and said: "His pair of big axes are not bad, and he was almost knocked over by his axe, but in the end, he held him down and chopped off his head." ”

Glancing at the head with a red face stained with blood and eyes closed, Liu Wei waved his hand at Dian Wei, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Hurry up and let the soldiers bury their heads, although they are hostile to each other, the battle is over, and the dead still let them be buried for peace." ”

"Although our army won this time, the casualties were very heavy!" As soon as he instructed Dian Wei to order someone to bury the head, Zhao Yun, who was holding a spear, walked over quickly from not far away, and said to Liu Wei when he got closer: "Although Zhang Ji was defeated, the Xiliang army did not hurt its vitality, and it still has the strength to deal with our army......"

"This is what this king is most worried about!" After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Liu Wei looked towards the northeast, and said with a slight frown: "Our army first attacked Zhang Jizhong's army with a strong crossbow, and then rushed to kill it by heavy cavalry, but the enemy army did not make a mess, but retreated in an orderly manner, and it was really tricky to fight against such a strong army!" ”

"Your Highness!" Sighing that Zhang Jijun was difficult to deal with, a personal soldier ran to Liu Wei's approach, raised his hand and pointed to the distance, and said to him: "There is a piece of smoke and dust ahead, there should be a cavalry rushing to this side." ”

"Order Zhou Cang, Han Xian, and lead the cavalry to catch up!" A cavalry came in the distance, and without knowing the identity of the other party, Liu Wei didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly gave an order to the personal soldiers who reminded him that the cavalry was coming.

The soldiers answered, and quickly ran towards the cavalry who were resting not far away.

After a while, Zhou Cang and Han Xian, who had received the order, stepped on their war horses, led a thousand cavalry who had only attacked Zhang Jizhong's army for a long time, and greeted the smoke and dust that was heading here.

The sunset is still shining, and the smoke and dust are billowing down. The two cavalry marched up head-on, and the surging smoke and dust were also covered with a thin layer of blood under the reflection of the slanting sun.

Nearby officers and soldiers were still carrying dead bodies and throwing them into the big pit that had just been dug out. In addition to the officers and soldiers carrying the corpses, there are also some soldiers who are collecting weapons and shields that have fallen on the battlefield, and putting those weapons and shields that can still be used on large carts.

In addition to the carts carrying weapons and shields, there were also wounded soldiers lying on the carts who were seriously wounded, humming or screaming.

These weapons will be transported to Anyi, and the wounded soldiers will find the nearest city to settle in, and when they recover from their injuries, the officers and soldiers who cannot pick up their weapons again will be sent back to Anyi, and the army will provide them with future living needs.

As for those wounded soldiers who will be able to return to the battlefield in the future, after their bodies recover, they will also return to Anyi, return to the army, and continue to follow Liu Weinan to fight in the north.

The cavalry led by Zhou Cang and Han Xian was getting farther and farther away from Liu Wei, who was watching the officers and soldiers sweeping the battlefield, and the smoke and dust were getting smaller and smaller, and it didn't take long for the smoke and dust raised by the horses' hooves on the ground to subside.

Looking at the direction where the sky was still full of smoke and dust just now, Liu Wei turned his head and said to Zhao Yun, who was still standing beside him: "It's because this king is too careful, the cavalry rushing here is not the Xiliang army, but the two thousand cavalry led by General Yang Feng. ”

"Yes!" Glancing in the direction where Zhou Cang and the others left, Zhao Yun nodded and said, "If it is the Xiliang Army, General Zhou Cang should have been killed with them at this moment, and the dust has dispersed, it must be that they have joined General Yang Feng and are about to march this way." ”

As the two were talking, the smoke and dust that had temporarily dissipated spread out again, and they rushed towards Liu Wei.

The smoke and dust were getting closer and closer, and when he reached the battlefield where the corpses were being buried, Liu Wei finally saw clearly that it was a group of heavy cavalry wearing red armor running towards him.

led two thousand cavalry and led the cavalry of the Western Liang Army to go around in a big circle. Yang Feng, who had not really fought all day, was full of boredom, and when Liu Wei approached, he turned over and jumped off the horse, turned his head sideways and clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei: "The last general is ashamed, he didn't kill an enemy soldier today, but just walked around Qinshui with the Xiliang cavalry!" ”

"Okay!" As soon as Yang Feng's slightly depressed words fell, Liu Wei slapped his hands on his shoulders and said with a smile: "If it weren't for General Yang to lure the Xiliang cavalry away, our army would definitely not be able to defeat Zhang Ji so easily in this battle." ”

"But......" Liu Wei put his hands on Yang Feng's shoulders, Yang Feng looked at him with an entangled face, shook his head and still looked very bored and said: "The last general has not cut off a single head in this battle, it can be said that he has not ......built an inch."

"It's not just about how many enemies you cut off!" Letting go of the hands pressed on Yang Feng's shoulders, Liu Wei gently patted him on the arm and said to him: "To lead away the Xiliang cavalry, General Yang has already made a great achievement!" ”

"Your Highness!" While he was talking to Yang Feng, Liu Wei heard Zhao Yun on the side whisper to him: "The Hanoi Army has also made great contributions in this battle, should you present ......this matter to Wang Taishou?"

"Wang Kuang......" mentioned Wang Kuang, Liu Wei, who was slightly excited because he had just won a victory, his eyes instantly dimmed.

He turned his head to look at the direction of the sunset, sighed lightly, and said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhou Cheng's merits will be recorded for the time being, and we will wait until our army crosses the Yellow River and enters the Yin territory of Henan, and then we will make calculations." ”

From Liu Wei's expression, Zhao Yun seemed to vaguely see something. However, Liu Wei was reluctant to say at this time, as a military general under his command, he didn't want to ask too much.

Not far from the battlefield where the daytime battles were held, the tents were neatly arranged, and in the middle of the countless tents, in the largest tent, there was still a faint flickering candlelight.

Liu Wei sat in the commander's tent, and the other generals went back to their tents to rest, and only Zhao Yun was left in the tent and kneeling on the straw mat on his left side.

"Defeat Zhang Ji's army today, presumably Zhang Ji will not dare to challenge our army again in the near future!" Looking down at the map on the table, Liu Wei said to Zhao Yun: "This king plans to take the initiative to launch a surprise attack on the Xiliang army early tomorrow morning, and then the army will cross the river and enter the Yin boundary of Henan......"

"Zhang Ji's troops have not suffered heavy losses, but there are still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses......" Liu Wei was anxious to cross the river, Zhao Yun had a trace of worry on his face, and said to him: "Our army crosses the river, and the Hanoi army needs to be behind the palace on the north bank, if the Hanoi army cannot resist the Xiliang army, our army will be attacked by the river, and the loss will be not small." If the Hanoi army resists Zhang Ji's attack, and when all our troops cross the Yellow River, there is no strong reinforcement from outside, and Zhou Cheng's troops are afraid that the whole army will be annihilated......"

"That's exactly what this king is going to do tomorrow!" Looking up at Zhao Yun, Liu Wei said to him: "Yesterday, Yang Feng led the cavalry and walked by Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji sent the Xiliang cavalry to pursue, but he was only taken in a circle. You will lead 3,000 cavalry tomorrow, and you will also make a posture of attacking Zhang Ji's army with great fanfare. Zhang Ji has suffered a loss, and he will definitely not easily send cavalry to pursue him, so you will seize the fighter and launch a charge......"

"Zhang Ji was caught off guard!" As soon as Liu Wei finished speaking, Zhao Yun opened his eyes, looked at him and said, "Your Highness is planning like this, it is indeed possible to drive Zhang Ji to the northeast......"

"Your Highness!" Before Zhao Yun's words were finished, the voice of a personal soldier came from outside the tent: "The scout who went to Jiguan has an urgent military report!" ”

"Come in and talk!" Hearing the news from Jiguan, Liu Bian's heart tightened, and he had already guessed seven or eight points, but he still calmed down and gave an order to the soldiers who reported the news outside the account.

After receiving the order, the personal soldiers who reported the news outside the tent opened the tent curtain and walked in, clasped their fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "Your Royal Highness, Hu Zhen led the Xiliang army to pursue Cao Hong, Cao Hong retreated to Kei Pass, and Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang led the army to support, but died in the melee......

"Say no more!" Without waiting for the soldiers to report the news completely, Liu Wei raised his head, waved his hand at the soldier with a look of indignation, and said to him: "You go out first!" ”

When the soldiers came out of the tent, Liu Wei pressed his hands on the table, and his facial muscles twitched violently. Suddenly, he threw all the maps and pen and ink on the table to the ground, his teeth clenched, and his face was full of resentment!

Looking at Liu Wei's hideous expression, Zhao Yun hurriedly stood up, clenched his fists and said to him: "Your Highness is angry, the prince is loyal to the imperial court, and he can be regarded as a well-de......served death."

"Die well, a good one to die well!" Looking down at the pen and ink and the map that he threw to the ground, Liu Wei trembled slightly, and said to Zhao Yun: "I don't know how many people this king will hear in the future!" ”

Zhao Yun, who was standing on the side, saw that Liu Wei was already so angry that his whole body trembled slightly, and he understood a little bit in his heart, clasped his hands into fists, and whispered to him: "Your Highness, it doesn't help to be angry, and now we must focus on the overall situation!" ”

The fists were clenched tightly, and the knuckles made a crisp sound of "quack, quack, quack", Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he shouted outside the tent: "Someone!" ”

Hearing Liu Wei's shout, a personal soldier guarding outside the tent hurriedly opened the tent curtain and walked in, standing at the entrance of the tent with his fists folded.

"Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang is loyal to the country, and he is already dead!" Glancing at the soldier, Liu Wei frowned tightly, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "This king immediately repairs the book, and the Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao supervises Hanoi, you set off immediately, and you must send the appointment to Cao Taishou as soon as possible, without delay!" ”
