In a bloody battle, the Han army suffered 8,000 casualties, including nearly 1,000 Wudang soldiers. Zhang Weili, the governor of Wudang Army, was martyred in battle, and Sima Ma Bing, the general of Zhendong, was lost in the city, and his life and death are unknown. And Zhendong General Guo Huai was seriously injured and unconscious, and he was still rescued by Ye Feng and Yan Peng in the tent. Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the Han army has never suffered such a big defeat, Zhao Shu was so angry that his eyes were almost spewing fire, looking at Guo Tong kneeling below, and asked: "General Ben has ordered the cancellation of the night battle, why don't you listen?" Now that Guo Huai's life and death are uncertain, Zhao Shu tried his best to slow down and talk to Guo Tong, but he was still unconsciously a little annoyed.

Guo Tong knew that in this battle, the Han army suffered heavy losses, all of which were caused by violating Zhao Shu's orders, but he was afraid of implicating his father, so he told Ma Bing and himself in detail about persuading his father to go to war, and finally said: "My father was unwilling to fight, but Ma Bing and the last general repeatedly persuaded him. The general is willing to bear all the responsibility for the crime alone, and he also asks the general to follow his father for many years, and at this time, he can ...... forgive his father's sins. ”

With the friendship between Guo Huai and Zhao Shu, not to mention that Guo Huai is still being rescued, he will return unharmed, and he will not blame him too much, so he wants to open his mouth to make Guo Tong feel relieved. Wei Yan next to him said lukewarmly: "Guo Boji is also a veteran general for many years, don't you know that the military order cannot be violated, how can you be instigated by your two juniors?" Furthermore, if there is no order from his generals, how can you have the right to mobilize troops and horses? It's just prevarication. ”

When Guo Tong heard him say this about his father, he wanted to argue, but Zhao Shu was afraid that the dispute between the two would not end well, so he waved his hand and said: "What Wen Chang said is true, but Boji is also loyal to the country, and victory and defeat are common things, so there is no need to punish too much." Wei Yan said coldly: "If you follow the military order, the failure is naturally not his fault, but the general clearly passed down the order, but Guo Boji turned a deaf ear and caused the defeat of the army, shouldn't he be blamed?" How did the general comfort General Zhang, and how did he comfort the thousands of soldiers who died? ”

"The last will thank him with death." Guo Tong was provoked, and immediately drew his sword to kill himself. Huan Yi hurriedly stepped forward and snatched his sword, turning to Wei Yan and said, "If you talk about disobeying military orders, isn't General Wei there?" Wei Yan knew that what he was referring to was his own sneak attack on Chang'an, and couldn't help sneering: "A certain capture of Chang'an and the restoration of the old capital, how can it be compared with Guo Boji's loss of troops?" Huan Yi also "hehe" smiled: "It's just that the general is lucky." Wei Yan was about to open his mouth and fight again, but Zhao Shu clapped the case and shouted: "Now that Boji is unconscious, the Wei army in the city is eyeing the enemy, and you don't think about discussing countermeasures to break the enemy, but instead fight here with words, what kind of system is it?" ”

Wei Yan knew that Zhao Shu was partial to Guo Huai, and said loudly: "Guo Boji, if you disobey the general's order and incur a fiasco, if the general is so ignorant, the last general will not be convinced." With a heavy snort, he strode away. Seeing that he was so rude, everyone in the tent looked at each other, and looked at Zhao Shu together, but Zhao Shu's expression remained unchanged, smiled faintly, and said to Guo Tong: "Let's go, go see your father." ”

When they came to Guo Huai's tent, Ye Feng and Yan Peng were still rescuing inside. Zhao Shu and the others had to wait outside, and after a long time, they saw Ye and Yan come out, Zhao Shu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is Boji's injury?" The two glanced at each other, and Ye Feng replied: "General Guo's arrow hurt his heart, and the treatment was a little late." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Shu grabbed Ye Feng's shoulder and shouted, "Are there any people you two who can't be saved by your medical skills?" Ye Feng glanced at Guo Tongyi next to him and sighed: "The general is confused." Medicine doctors don't die of disease, no matter how high our medical skills are, we can't compete with the sky. Before Zhao Shu could speak again, Guo Tong had already broken into the tent crying, and Ye Feng also followed: "General, go in, or you can say a few words to General Guo." Zhao Shu had no choice but to sigh heavily and enter with Huan Yi.

Guo Huai finally woke up after Ye Feng and Yan Peng's best efforts, but when he saw his beloved son in tears, he couldn't help but speak: "The boy bleeds without tears, how can you cry like this?" "The voice is already extremely weak." Father ......" Guo Tong only shouted, and then whimpered and couldn't speak. Zhao Shu patted him on the shoulder from behind and said, "Bo Ji is just a little more seriously injured, and he can get better after a while of resting, and the young general doesn't have to be like this." Guo Tong was reminded by this and knew that he shouldn't let his father see him so sad at this moment, so he hurriedly reached out to wipe his tears, but he wiped more and more, and he couldn't stop.

Guo Huai said: "My son retreats first, because my father has something to say to the general." Guo Tong had to bow down again, Zhao Shu glanced at Huan Yi, and let him temporarily leave the account. After the two of them retreated, Guo Huai said: "Since Hanzhong surrendered to the general, it has been more than ten years, and I have been able to be a general and a general, and I am a general. I wanted to help the general to merge Cao Wei in the north, swallow Sun Wu in the east, and create an immortal foundation, but I did what I wanted, and I hated it. ”

"Boji ......" Zhao Shu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Guo Huai and said: "I just behaved, and I also knew that my life would not last long." When a person is about to die, his words are also good, and the last general has followed the general for many years, and there are still a few words to explain. Zhao Shu had to sigh: "Boji, please speak, I keep it in mind." Guo Huai then said: "Although the last general cannot occupy Luoyang, but Cao Wei is in civil strife, Cao Zhixin is in power, and he must stabilize the north first, then Luoyang will have no foreign aid, and the general will break it in time." Then the two capitals are recovered, I don't know what the general's plans will be next? Although he was asking, he didn't wait for Zhao Shu to answer, so he continued: "In the army, such as Wei Wenchang and others, they will definitely try their best to persuade the general to take advantage of the situation to march north and destroy Cao Wei in one fell swoop." The last general thought that it was impossible, although Cao Wei was defeated, but there were still all the lands of Qing, Xu, You, and Hebei, with a million. If our army continues to advance northward, the Wei army will inevitably share the same hatred for the enemy and desperately repay the national mourning. If the general can suspend the march on the grounds of his national mourning and injustice, he will be trusted by the world, and Cao Wei will not see external troubles, and he will have internal worries. If Cao Zhi wants to fully control the Wei regime, he will definitely go on a campaign to exclude dissidents. The general recuperated the armoured soldiers, rested with the people, and waited for the opportunity to move, and the world could be determined. ”

Zhao Shu originally planned to capture Luoyang, so he did not continue to march into the army, and said at this moment: "What Boji said is extremely true, and I plan to do the same." Guo Huai saw that Zhao Shu agreed, nodded and said: "The general is good at using soldiers, and the general will not say much, but there is still a hidden danger, and the general needs to be on guard as soon as possible." Zhao Shu knew what he was referring to, and said, "I'll take care of it." Guo Huai understood that although Zhao Shu knew it in his heart, it was always difficult to make up his mind, and sighed: "The general does not want the kindness of a woman." The reason why the last general ventured into the city was that he was unwilling to give Wei Wenchang the credit for recovering Luoyang. He conquered Chang'an, he was arrogant and domineering, if he made great contributions, where would he be willing to succumb to the general? There is Jiang Wei by his side, this person's heart is not right, sooner or later there will be trouble, and the general must not ignore it. ”

Wei Yan and Jiang Wei, Zhao Shu is not unclear, but at this time, Wei Wu is still looking at him, how can he punish the general without authorization? I had no choice but to open my eyes and close my eyes and endure for the time being. Guo Huai saw that Zhao Shu was embarrassed, so he said: "General Lao went to invite General Huan to come in, and the last general also had a few words to explain." Zhao Shu nodded, and then went out of the account to summon Huan Yi in.
