Because of the battlefield vision, the Riverland Legion could not see what was happening on the slopes of the middle lane.

They were only puzzled to find that the battlefield, which had been boiling and lively, had begun to fall silent.

As the commander-in-chief, Yang Xuan's sense of vigilance was surging, and he hurriedly ordered the army to go to the front to check the situation.

Because of the long journey, the Hejian Legion had no horses in the army.

Watching the brisk run, Yang Xuan suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and put his energy back on the battlefield in front of him.

At this time, the Hejian Army had already come into contact with the Taishan Army.

When the Hejian Army rushed to the battlefield from the east, Yang Mao had already gone to the front line in person, and led his soldiers to gallop around the battlefield and dispatch them to resist in formation.

Under Yang Mao's command, the Taishan Army in the East Road Battlefield relied on the dense forest and the east wall to start intercepting the Hejian Army and continuing to advance westward.

The fighting continued, because the rout of the Han army on the Eastern Road was too rapid, so Yang Mao's own army was actually still full of combat power.

Up to now, Yang Xuan's Hejian reinforcements had only advanced for a mile, and a large number of troops had been stranded in the dense forest.

What's even more terrifying is that Yang Xuan's corps officers are actually the last of the crossbows, they were inspired by Yang Xuan's temptation to fight, thinking that as long as they can rush to the battlefield, this battle will be won.

But who knows, the enemy's resistance on the edge of the battlefield is so fierce, it is not that they have the advantage in numbers, but they may be pressed and beaten.

However, the Hejian Corps had a lucky one, that is, there was no cavalry unit in the Yang Mao Division on the opposite side, so every time they played an advantage, they could not expand the results.

Therefore, the two armies are fighting a bad battle like this, and they are scorching.

Suddenly, Yang Xuan noticed that something was obviously wrong.

The situation on the battlefield was very wrong, first a group of cavalry of the Chinese army in the rear slope was actually fleeing towards the back of the slope.

The characteristics of this army were too obvious, and Yang Xuan recognized this as a white horse at a glance.

Isn't this Gongsun Chan's subordinate? How do you run north?

Then Jian, who had been sent by Yang Xuan to the middle to observe the situation on the battlefield, ran back.

This person was quite a bit of a mind, even though his face was already pale, he still ran to Yang Xuan and told him the earth-shattering news:

"Taishou, the Han army has been defeated, and Lu Shuai's Daxu has fallen."

Yang Xuan, who heard the news, really felt that the world was spinning, he never thought that the gap between reality and imagination would be so big.

Didn't Lu Zhi say that as long as his reinforcements arrived, victory would be in hand?

He Yang Xuan really believed it, and for this immortal achievement, he rushed over with the whole army on a trek through mountains and rivers, and how much suffering he suffered on the way. It can be said that he, Yang Xuan, can be regarded as worthy of you Lu Zhi.

If you give it to other guards, let alone rush over, even the military order will not be able to pass on to them.

But what about now? You Lu Zhi bear me!

At this time, looking at the battlefield in front of him, and seeing that the children of Hejian, Bohai, and Anping were still fighting there, Yang Xuan only felt bitter.

But he only struggled for a while, then quietly called for the general, and then withdrew from Daxu with a dozen elite warriors on horseback.

Yes, that's right, on horseback.

He Yang Xuan can leave no horses to the army, but he can't leave no horses to himself.

In fact, at this time, the Hejian Army can still be withdrawn. After all, up to now, the army has not been in too deep contact, except for those who have already fought in the front, a large number of non-commissioned soldiers are still sitting on the edge of the battlefield, waiting for further military orders.

But Yang Xuan still chose to abandon the army and flee, because the probability of surviving in this way is the greatest.

After Yang Xuan fled, about a pillar of incense passed, and the entire battlefield began to shout in unison.

At first, it was sparse, but in the end all the voices converged into a neat shout, and the accents from all over the world shouted these words:

"Lu Zhi has been defeated, abandon his weapons and surrender."

……

At this time, on the high platform in the middle of the Taishan Army, the commanders of each battalion rushed over, and they all came to the Chinese army to ask for orders to pursue.

In a war, the greatest captures and gains are obtained in the course of post-war pursuits.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the various battalions were already gearing up, and they were all looking forward to the pursuit signal of the Chinese army.

And this will, on the high platform, Yu Ban's smile has never stopped, and he has constantly arranged military orders to each battalion, such as: What department is your department chasing, and what department is pursuing you.

Yu Ban's meticulous arrangement made the original vague pursuit military order concretized and refined, which made each battalion have its own pursuit target, and would not be filthy because of competing with other units for military merits.

From here, it can be seen that Yu Ban has grown into a qualified military commander.

Through the clear military orders of the Chinese army, on the three fronts of the Zhongrenting battlefield, the battalions of the Taishan Army began to attack on all fronts, and some of them shouted:

"God is good for me."

Some shouted:

"The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky."

Some even sang the military song directly:

"Raise the sword, call for peace, and only teach the world to restore clarity."

The whole front was filled with joy, and the battalions began to rush to the front of the Han army to receive the prisoners in formation.

The Han army was no longer able to resist, and often faced with five or six Taishan troops, and the entire Han army abandoned its weapons and surrendered.

……

Compared to the joy of the robes, Yang Xuan, who was from the original Flying Dragon Army Cavalry Department, had been carried away by hatred.

Before, after Tian Yue's team was completely gone, only Yang Xuan withdrew to the rear with the team flag.

After that, he carried the team flag and participated in Zhang Da's phalanx.

As the left lieutenant of the Central Protector Army, Zhang Da's department has been responsible for guarding the Chinese Army, so he has never had to participate in the battlefield.

And Yang Xuan was on the edge of Zhang Da at the time, and his vision was blocked, so he didn't know that his side had won a big victory.

Until Zhang Da received the military order from Yu Ban on the high platform of the Chinese army, ordering him to pursue the Kou Meng Department in the middle of the enemy army.

Sure enough, Yu Ban still took care of his old department.

So, Zhang Da, who got the military order, took the tun column as a unit and ordered the whole army to start pursuing the enemy.

On this road, Yang Xuan rushed to the front line, and he frantically slaughtered the Han soldiers who fled.

Those Han soldiers were frightened by Yang Xuan's madness, and they all knelt down and surrendered.

Even at that time, there were dozens of Han soldiers, but they still knelt down and begged in front of Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan was so angry that he scolded these people:

"You cowards, pick up the knife, pick it up."

Seeing that these people still didn't dare to move, Yang Xuan was already a little upset, and he brandished his knife and slashed at the nearest Han soldier.

But with a sound of gold and iron, Yang Xuan's knife was knocked away.

But it was Zhang Da, who was already in the position of lieutenant, who rushed up with Yang Xuan, and he knocked off his son's ring knife with one sword, and then slapped him twice in the face without waiting for Yang Xuan to react.

A fierce general like Zhang Da can imagine the strength of his hands, and in just two strokes, Yang Xuan was slapped and vomited blood.

Zhang Da was not used to him at all, and after kicking him to the ground, he gave orders to his soldiers:

"Escort this Yang Xuan down for reflection, and I will treat him after the war."

These soldiers have been following Zhang Da for a long time, and of course they understand that their generals are saving Yang Xuan, so they are busy helping Yang Xuan down.

Zhang Da couldn't help but do so.

In fact, he cares very much about this righteous son, otherwise he would not be worried about his safety, so he rushed to take care of him.

But Yang Xuan must not torture and kill prisoners, which is a taboo in the army.

Not to mention, for this big victory, I don't know how many warriors in the army have died, that is, even the king is at the forefront.

If this kid kills prisoners indiscriminately, and the Han soldiers are in danger, and misestimate that the Taishan army will not leave prisoners in this battle, it will be bad.

It's not that the Han army thinks too much, but it's quite likely. The casualties on both sides in this battle were heavy, and it was normal for both sides to kill red eyes without leaving prisoners.

And once the Han army continues to resist stubbornly for self-preservation, it does not mean that the Taishan army will be defeated, but that it will increase casualties.

Which one of the soldiers was not raised by their parents, and the family was waiting for them to go back. How can you let them die or be injured because of you Yang Xuan?

Of course, Zhang Da also understood Yang Xuan's anger.

But it was the White Horse Yicong who caused the destruction of Yang Xuan's Tian Yue Division, and he wanted revenge to find them.

Examples like Zhang Da and Yang Xuan are not uncommon on all fronts of the battlefield.

In the face of the Han army, which gave up resistance in fear, these Taishan soldiers had too many reasons to kill the killers.

To avenge Brother Paoze, to be the first level of merit, or simply to show his strength and bravery.

But most of these were stopped by the officers of the Taishan Army.

Thanks to the teachings of the long history of the various ranks of the army, these officers were very well able to understand the army's policy towards prisoners, and knew that at the end of the war, it was the most important thing to accept the fruits of victory safely.

It was precisely because of the restraint of the Taishan army that the Han soldiers who had no desire to fight squatted in the mud tiredly, lost their weapons, and surrendered to the Taishan soldiers who had caught up one after another.

It was only at this time that the victory on the battlefield was really grasped by the Taishan army.

……

"Hehehe, we lost to the peasants on the other side. Hehe. ”

At this time, Li Min, who was on the battlefield on the left flank, was sitting drunkenly on the horse, and there were water bags on the ground.

He laughed self-deprecatingly, and then changed his face and cursed:

"Come on, give me wine, give me wine."

The apprentice on the side kowtowed in fear and said:

"Master, there is no more wine, only blood and water."

When Li Min heard this, he kicked over, but he was still angry, and he still punched and kicked this servant, until he beat this servant to death.

Li Min wiped the blood on the peak of his fist and scolded angrily:

"Are you sarcastic about me? Do you want you to tell me that the rest is blood? ”

Li Min's tyranny caused the military officials on the side to frown, but due to Li Min's obscenity, no one dared to speak.

For a long time, a military official broke the silence and said to Li Min:

"Lord, what should we do now?"

Who knows, after Li Min heard this, he didn't answer directly, but stared at the military official.

He wondered:

"Whose subordinate are you? How come I never met you? ”

The military officer clenched his fists and said to himself:

"Back to the main general, we are Tai Shici, the Zuo Shi general of Zuoying Qiantun."

Xu is wine really drank too much, after Li Min heard this, he was furious, pointed at Tai Shici's nose and scolded:

"Who are you? But a little general, is there a place for you here? And aren't you from Qiantun? Shouldn't it be on the front line? How did it end up here? ”

Subsequently, Li Min was about to draw the knife and said:

"Okay, it turns out that you are still a deserter, see if I don't kill you."

But Li Min's wine was really big, and his action of drawing the knife not only failed to pull out the knife, but also threw himself to the ground.

Looking at lying on the ground, still humming and scolding himself, Tai Shici's murderous intent rose.

Damn, you ask me why I'm here, and you don't look at the situation on the front line. Either surrendered or collapsed, wasn't it that I was taken in by your Li family when Tai Shi Ci was in trouble, and I ate a few buckets of millet from your family, and I will come here to protect you?

Looking at this already drunk Li Min, Tai Shici stepped on Li Min's neck with one kick, and then with a little effort, this alcoholic border army general died like this.

It is also strange to say that after Tai Shici killed Li Min, none of the generals of those squadrons drew their swords to take revenge, and they didn't squint at each other, but they didn't see such things.

Li Min should have died a long time ago, but everyone didn't want to commit the crime, especially after they planned to surrender to the Taishan army.

Now there is a little person to solve this trouble, which is really lucky.

With Li Min's death, the last formed regiment of the Han army also dropped its banner and officially surrendered.

And those defeated soldiers who have no organization have no head and no brain, and they will follow Pao Ze when they flee north.

They fled along the ridge on the back slope of the Zhongren Pavilion and all the way to the dense forest behind. Then they were chased and taken prisoner by the horsemen who were chasing after them.

Of course, in the process, some unlucky eggs were trampled to death by war horses.

When the whole battlefield was surrendered or defeated, the former Han army was under the army, but those Lu Zhi's military officials and students were kneeling and grieving.

At this time, Zhang Chong had already pulled out the stainless steel horse that nailed Lu Zhi, and then allowed his son to take another look at Lu Zhi.

So this Lu Yu is holding Lu Zhi's corpse, silently sad.

Lu Yu's mother died young, and he was the only son in the family. And now, his only relative in the world has also died, and at this time, Lu Yu really feels that his relationship with the world has been broken.

Unlike his senior brother Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi was a very enlightened master of Confucianism, who not only studied Confucianism, but even studied metaphysics and interpretation deeply.

Lu Yu had heard from his father for a long time the interpretation of a truth in the world.

The Buddha said that everything in this world is empty, that is, self-nature is empty. So how did everything we see in this world come about? The Buddha said that it is the combination of all causes and conditions. But fate will be born, and that fate will be extinguished. This is the principle that everything in heaven and earth is dependent voidness.

Lu Yu understood this truth early on and agreed with it. After all, as seen by the naked eye, everything in this world is impermanent, isn't it impermanent? Glory and wealth, fame and fortune, isn't all this empty in the end?

For example, his family's land belonged to a nobleman in Wang Mang's period, and it is said that it was also prominent for a while, but in the end, wasn't it still the wind that was always blown away by the rain and wind?

Therefore, Lu Yu agrees with what the Shi family said.

The impermanence of all actions is the law of birth and death.

But it wasn't until that moment, the moment his father died, that he really understood the four words of dependent arising emptiness. Since he was born, his father has been there, so Lu Yu naturally thinks that his father is always there.

But when his father was killed by Zhang Chong, Lu Yu really understood that his father was gone, and his home was gone.

Lu Yu, who realized all this, wanted to cry, but there were no tears.

He just held his father's corpse and pleaded to Zhang Chong:

"You killed my father, and I became your captive. I probably understand what my father meant, he wants me to forget my father's enmity and follow you. Not only because you deserve to be followed, but also because of the fate of your family. But after all, his father's meaning is only his intention, and he really can't serve his father's enemy. If I could, I would like to take my father's body to a seclusion in Jundu Mountain in Daigun, where my father had always wanted to give lectures, and I would like to fulfill my father's legacy. ”

Zhang Chong looked at Lu Yu in front of him, and he couldn't see hatred in his eyes, only a kind of enlightenment, and a trace of wisdom.

That's exactly what he thought.

Zhang Chong sighed, no longer said any words of mercy to Lu Yu, just nodded and let him go.

In this way, in the slanting sun and trees, Lu Yu carried his father's corpse on his back and slowly walked into the dense forest in the distance, and in the distance, it was the direction of his home.

Zhang Chong was stunned for a while.
