Sima Yi stood in the courtyard of the palace, excited heart, trembling hands, pursing his lips stubbornly drenched in the rain......

After all the calculations, I didn't expect it to rain at this time!

Obviously there is still a sunny morning and happy to be happy, obviously ...... It's spring, and there is such a heavy rain?

At the same time, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu's moods were completely different, and they thought that this time they were dead, but unexpectedly, a pouring rain actually extinguished the fire on the ground.

Although there are also many Ji Zao soldiers and grassroots generals who were burned to death and choked to death, especially when the heavy rain was just dripping, the smoke produced was extremely thick, but ...... After all, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and most of the soldiers were rescued by this heavy rain.

Under normal circumstances, if the defeat is so miserable, the army must be disheartened and completely routed, and at most flee with some guards and henchmen.

However, the situation was different at this time, not because of how wise Zhuge Liang was, nor because of how strong Guan Yu's ability to command the army was, but because of ...... This is in the Meridian Valley!

This place can't collapse if you want to, either turn back to find the enemy army and throw yourself into the net, or continue to the south to join the Chu army.

Even so, Guan Yu's Qi army, counting from the time the soldiers left the customs, has already lost most of its personnel, and only more than 15,000 remnants have returned.

Along the way, he was naturally discovered by the daily scouts of the Chu State early, and when he arrived at the defense line of the Chu State, Hao Zhao, who was stationed here, specially called the compelling first.

I saw that Hao Zhao gave orders to the surrounding artillery and personal soldiers, first with his own armor, crossed three barbed wires, and separated the last one, and shouted to the Qi army: "General Guan is here?" Please come forward and speak! ”

"Guan is here!" Guan Yu said and stepped forward in time.

The armor styles of the main generals of all parties have been exposed and printed in Chu State as early as possible, and Hao Zhao can't recognize Zhuge Liang, but he can recognize Guan Yu.

After all, it's easy to fake a feather fan, but it's hard to fake a battle armor.

"I heard that the Sima clan and Zheng Hou in Guanzhong caused trouble in the Han court, but fortunately I saw that the general was fine, so I was relieved!" Hao Zhao was very polite, but he directly called the Han family the Han Kingdom.

Obviously, in terms of official arguments, the state of Chu has been denied as a vassal of the Han family......

At another time and place, Guan Yu earlier would definitely not spare him, but now...... Facts are stronger than people, so you won't rebel against the official attitude of the Chu State because of this matter!

After all, this is not the gaffe of a general Hao Zhao......

"Come on, bring a pole, and let the compatriots of the Qi army come in!" After Hao Zhao was sure that it was correct, he ordered someone to pick up the barbed wire fence and put this Qi army into it in an orderly manner.

The state of Chu does not recognize the Han family, but it still recognizes everyone as "compatriots".

After that, I saw that many people came over with armor, and at the layers of barbed wire, a group of six people used a pole to pick up a section of the barbed wire fence as an entrance for the Qi army to enter.

But just as he entered the first layer, Hao Zhao suddenly said, "Huh? Many of the Qi army's comrades were injured? Someone, tell the people from the medical camp to send someone! General Guan, there is a medical battalion in our army, and there is also a field medical hall in the back, let the wounded brothers come in first! ”

"That's very good." Guan Yu was naturally very satisfied.

It's just a little unfamiliar, what are medical battalions and field clinics......

"Let all the cooking classes step up their cooking, and the brothers of the Qi army are also hungry." Hao Zhao gave orders to his own soldiers again.

It seems that the arrangement is very thoughtful, and the Chu army is also very enthusiastic, and many down-and-out Qi soldiers have tears coming down when they see this scene.

However, at this moment, he entered the second layer of Qi army on the side and encountered some Chu generals......

"It's okay, it's safe in front, let's put down the weapon first."

"Don't wear armor, it's just sunny, and it's still wet...... We have dry clothes here. ”

"Ahem, the talisman or something, it will be replaced for everyone in the Chu State later."

Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang also noticed that the generals of the Qi army at the grassroots level were given military talismans by the people of Chu State, and "ordered" the soldiers of Ji Zao to also remove their armor.

However, in this regard, after the two were silent for a while, they secretly ordered to cooperate with the Chu army......

Hao Zhao was cautious and cautious, but not so much that the Qi army would have too much resistance.

Zhuge Liang saw that an unknown young general in the Chu State also had such a well-founded advance and retreat, and he sighed even more in his heart - I am afraid that without Sima Yi's section, his Longyou strategy will be successful, and the Han family will ...... It may not be possible to get benefits in the hands of the Chu State!

And it didn't take long for Zhuge Liang to find out that he had already sighed!

Hao Zhao naturally wouldn't show any confidential matters in front of the officers and soldiers of the Qi army who had not yet been completely incorporated into the Chu army, but ...... Now that the Qi army has nominally surrendered, the Qi army, which is hungry and cold, and many of them are wounded, will naturally not be treated harshly in terms of food and medical treatment.

Not to mention medical treatment, the military rations of Chu have already opened Zhuge Liang's eyes.

In the past, the state of Chu also had dried meat, dried fish supplemented with pickles, and emergency compressed biscuits, all of which were fully supplied to the army.

And last year, there was already the most primitive "canned food" - that is, the way of preserving food with glass and metal after high temperature treatment.

Hao Zhao is obviously already in the Meridian Valley here, and it stands to reason that there is also a distance from the rear, but because of the existence of "canned food", there is a large amount of canned meat, not just jerky!

Not to mention canned fruits and vegetables and dehydrated vegetables......

Now it's spring, in Xuzhou, even if you want to eat vegetables and fruits in the city, it is a relatively atmospheric thing, although it is not a luxury, but ordinary people want to eat, they must be distressed.

Originally, when Hao Zhao invited Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu to the handsome tent for dinner, he saw that Hao Zhao was quite extravagant, and he actually "set up a banquet" in the army, and he looked down on him a little in his heart, but then found out that he was ...... Even the military rations of the ordinary Chu army are not only broth, braised pork, but also cold vegetables......

And Zhuge Liang specially observed it, and the Chu army was very calm about this, and there was no resentment - it was not like it was forcibly pretended to be wide for the arrival of the Qi army!

On the contrary, the performance of the Qi army made Zhuge Liang a little surprised, and even wondered whether he was mistreating the soldiers......

However, it was only a slight thought - Qi Hou did not treat the soldiers harshly, Liu Bei was usually in Xuzhou City, and the food may not be as comfortable as Hao Zhao, who was guarding the field fortress with the orthodox army outside!

And Zhuge Liang thought about it, he didn't have the opportunity to inform the Chu army in Meridian Valley in advance that he would break through from Meridian Valley, so it didn't make sense that the logistics of the Chu army here were particularly sufficient.

Other words......

This is the norm in the state of Chu?

As for Guan Yu and Hao Zhao when they mentioned the wounded soldiers of the Qi army, Hao Zhao directly took the two of them to the wounded barracks, and saw batches of injured soldiers and grassroots generals......

The medical soldiers who dealt with Ji Zao's soldiers were also Ji Zao soldiers, but Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu both understood that this kind of special manpower could only be extracted from doctors!

And Hao Zhao, the Chu army stationed in the field, the proportion of medical soldiers and real military doctors has silenced the two.

Some of the wounded soldiers after initial treatment were also pulled back by car, and it is said that ...... There is a "field medical hall" at the mouth of the Meridian Valley, which specializes in treating wounded soldiers who are more serious and cannot recuperate in the battalion!
