"The horses have been killed, and the soldiers have picked some wild vegetables and caught some fish, which can barely last two days."

"Hmm."

"People in the vicinity fled. There is news from Zhang Xiong's side, and he has also suffered defeat...."

"Hmm."

"The soldiers of the western camp are a little dissatisfied."

"Got it."

The day after the defeat, the temporary camp of the revolutionary army maintained basic order. In the central camp, Sun Qiao was reporting, while Wang Luo was still looking at the map in front of him, occasionally turning a few pages of notes, not looking back, occasionally answering a few times.

"My lord, it's too late for us to evacuate." Sun Qiao finally couldn't help but say his suggestion. "When the Han army catches up, it's too late!"

"Are you done setting up camps, treating the wounded, and waiting for them?"

"Nope. But.... My lord! Some soldiers were worried about their captured families! After losing the battle, some people are discussing fleeing! There was no food in the battalion, and there was no medicine to treat the wounded! ”

"Go get busy. Commander Zhou is not here, so these will trouble you. ”

Sun Qiao opened his mouth again, but in the end he didn't say anything and retreated.

After he left, Wang Luo leaned back in his chair and rested for a while with his eyes closed, still with a tired face.

Zhou Yingxiong was captured. The rest of the captives in the camp did not return, and they could not be contacted. Yang Wentian...

"Yang Xieling is back!" The guards reported.

It's really not a joke... Wang Luo thought. As soon as I thought of him, I came back.

"It's not easy." After Yang Wentian walked into the tent, Wang Luo looked at him who hadn't changed much. "Escape from the fire."

"It's not that hard." Yang Wentian smiled. "I didn't participate in the battle this time, and I have been hiding on the high ground next to me and waiting for the winner to be decided."

"Then why are you only coming back now?"

"Found a way out for us." Yang Wentian said very frankly. "The earnings are not bad."

Wang Luo shook his eyebrows. "Meaning you've defected."

"Don't say it so ugly." A hint of unhappiness flashed across Yang Wentian's face. "That's right, I was arrested again, and then the other party asked me to pass on the information, and I was not allowed to let you know in any way. But I did not defect, I consulted with them: if the Han army is defeated, I will guarantee their lives; If the revolutionary army is defeated, they will guarantee the safety of the three of us. ”

"The three of us?"

"Yes, the head of Wuzhou said that he could give up the income from killing the three of us, allow us to surrender, and we can all join the Wuzhou team. The condition was that the entire revolutionary army be brought to the place she had designated. ”

Wang Luo smiled, grinning, squinting his eyes, and showing his teeth. And he looked at Yang Wentian at this moment, as if he was looking at a fool.

"It's earned." Yang Wentian continued. "We lost. If we lose and fail completely, we will all be wiped out. Toucheng needs to be accepted by the other party. Not everyone will accept the enemy's surrender as casually as you do--- and it usually requires a relationship in the past, or a high fee to accept, and it is not unreliable. Because killing the other contractor can also increase the income at the final settlement; And accepting the other party may cause the other party to dilute the profits...."

"So, why didn't you say it when I accepted those people before me to surrender?"

Faced with this question, Yang Wentian chose to remain silent.

"And then, whether it's from the last scene, or on this battlefield, what I did before..... You've seen it all. We've been through so much together, do you think I'm a fool to let myself fall into this passive situation? ”

Yang Wentian opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.

"When you are a little frustrated, you want to surrender?" Wang Luo shook his head. "Forget it, it's a good acquaintance. I don't blame you for being caught, and doing something to survive. ”

"Next, it is a decisive battle with the Han army. Of course, there is also the possibility of losing, and I can't guarantee that I will win. You can continue to wait and see. If we lose, it's too late for you to surrender. ”

What will happen if you win, Wang Luo didn't mean to say it. Yang Wentian didn't have the face to ask, lowered his head, and walked out.

After a while, Sun Qiao hurriedly ran in. "Oh no, my lord! In Zhou Chen's camp in the west, the soldiers made trouble! ”

"Oh?" Wang Luo stood up. "Soldiers, let's go."

So, Wang Luo arrived at the camp to the west with his own guards and a small number of Sun Qiao's men. Along the way, in several other camps, many soldiers also looked at them with doubts and suspicions.

After the defeat, they were also mentally shaken. Some of them, perhaps out of the excitement, followed their ranks.

Upon arrival, the situation was still chaotic. Many soldiers were insulting their co-op because he was eating horse meat and giving them porridge. After Wang Luo arrived, some soldiers even threw stones at him in the tent and blamed him from all angles.

"It's all your fault!"

"If you don't betray the great sage and good teacher, we will never lose!"

"We're going to eat!"

Wang Luo ignored them, walked straight to the top under the protection of the guards around him, and began to speak to them:

"Soldiers! Buddies! ”

"In the previous battles, we lost. This is the case on the battlefield, there are victories and defeats, which are very common things. ”

"Think about it, are the victories we've had together in the past, and the momentary setbacks still so important? Didn't we all have nothing in the beginning? The landlords and wealthy families brutally exploit and oppress you; The Han army has defeated you again and again, do you need me to talk about these? ”

"All I can do is lead you to victory. Occasional failures, setbacks, and a lot to lose? But what you can do is to fight for the next victory! ”

"Victory! What is lost on the battlefield, we take it back from the battlefield! ”

Around, some soldiers cheered after Wang Luo, but most of them were silent. So Wang Luo turned to them again.

"Are you feeling hungry? Me too. ”

"Are you worried about your lost loved ones? Me too. ”

"However, we must overcome these difficulties and resist irrational thoughts. If someone tells you to do nothing, success and happiness will fall to you as a matter of course, do not hesitate to draw your knife and kill him. ”

"If anyone tells you, leave our team and save your loved ones. Don't listen to him. If he says it repeatedly, cut off his tongue so that he can't say anything more. ”

"Unity! Only when we are united, as a whole, can we have the strength and the possibility to save our loved ones; We can only achieve victory and success if we give everything and do everything we can! ”

"They may be sacrificed. That's right, think about it, how many of us have died along the way? But is that kind of sacrifice worthless? No! Never! ”

"It is remarkable, sublime, great, worthy of our remembrance in any word, and will always be in our hearts. Without such sacrifices, we would not have been able to achieve those previous victories! ”

The expressions of the soldiers around him gradually began to change.
