In the evening, the Xiliang army carried all the money, grain and property in Sima's mansion, and Guo Huai and Zhuo Ying registered and confiscated it.

Zhang Ren discussed with Ma Chao and others, first distributed the remaining grain and cloth to the people in the city, first appeased the people's hearts, and the city was full of joy and thunder for a while.

During the day, everyone was killed by the Xiliang Army, and they were shocked, and many people still felt sorry for the Sima family, and they happily lit a fire to cook at night, saying that the Sima family was destroyed well, and they were all grateful to the Xiliang Army.

For ordinary people, whoever can make them live a good life will support whomever they want, as for which banner is erected on the top of the city, they are powerless to change it, success or failure has nothing to do with them, and reprimands and insults cannot fill their stomachs.

The next day, Xu Shu hurried to Wen County, looked at the Sima Mansion that was burned to ashes, and sighed helplessly: "I don't want to get drunk once, but I missed a big event." ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "The military advisor doesn't have to blame himself, a certain person makes his own initiative to kill, this matter is borne by a certain force, and today he will write a book and submit it to the lord, let it fall." ”

Xu Shu shook his head and sighed: "This matter is all caused by my drunkenness, I am the commander, I should be the first responsibility, and I should be punished first." ”

Ma Chao exclaimed: "The military advisor ......"

"There's no need to fight anymore, I'll explain the reason to the lord!" Xu Shu interrupted Ma Chao and said to the generals: "Cao Xiu has led reinforcements to come, and it is important to meet the enemy at the moment." ”

Zhang Ren did not participate in the war this time, and was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard and go to resist the enemy." ”

Xu Shu said: "The general can go to Huaixian and shoot dogs to set up defenses, I ordered Wu Yi to march to Aocang, and the two generals responded along the river and moved when they saw the opportunity." ”

Zhang Ren led the order to send troops, and Xu Shu sent people to send an order to Wu Yi of Chenggao, Ma Chao and others will temporarily stay in Hanoi to rest and recuperate, and settle the people to govern the country, in case of the Wei army in Hedong and Bingzhou.

Xu Gai led the defeated army to flee to Xiuwu, and sent people to inquire about the news of Wen County overnight, and learned that the Sima clan was wiped out, and the chickens and dogs were not left.

Just as he was about to send someone for help, Cao Xiu led the troops to arrive, and was shocked when he heard the news, and reported that the Han army had come to the east, so he had to stop his men and horses to repair the army and prepare to resist the enemy.

……

Luoyang, Hanxing Altar.

The peach blossoms around the courtyard are falling one after another, bearing small fruits, and birds are walking through it, and they are taking their chicks to test flights, and they are full of vitality.

Zhang Liao and Le Jin were playing under the tree, and the petals fell on the chessboard, Zhang Liao said angrily: "One spring is over again!" ”

Le Jin was about to answer, but he heard a heavy cold snort: "Hmph, the two of you are at ease!" ”

The two turned their heads to look, and couldn't help but be stunned, waiting for careful confirmation, the chess pieces in Zhang Liao's hand fell with a click, and Le Jin slowly got up and sighed.

There was a tall figure standing at the door, with gray beard, but it was difficult to hide the murderous aura, and the eyebrows were angry, it was Xu Huang.

The three of them looked at each other speechlessly, the courtyard was full of colors, but it was incompatible with this atmosphere, and behind Xu Huang, there was also a slender scribe, who was Xun Yu.

In a trance, everyone had the illusion of gathering in Xuchang, and it seemed that in the next moment, Cao Cao's laughter came from inside the house.

"Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the human face were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. ”

Xun Yu stepped forward, brushed the petals on the ground, and sighed: "Although General Liu's poem is inappropriate at this time, it is also quite in line with today's situation. ”

"The Lord humiliates his ministers to death! Cao Gong was killed, but you are still in the mood to chant poetry? Xu Huang's face turned pale, he strode forward, and glanced at the three of them with cold eyes: "The public is a masterpiece of the moment, why don't you know honor, shame, and shame?" ”

Xun Yu looked up at the sky and said slowly: "The King of Wei today is no longer the Duke of Cao in the past!" ”

Zhang Liao didn't want to talk about the current situation, seeing that Xu Huang's beard was gray, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Gongming is old!" ”

Le Jin was still the same as before, the surprise and loneliness in his eyes flashed, and he was silent with a black face.

"Although I am old, my ambition is not old!" Xu Huang snorted coldly, and stepped forward to reprimand Zhang Liao, but when he looked down, he saw that the chessboard on the stone table was different from what he saw on weekdays, and he sighed.

The red and black wooden chess pieces the size of the bowl lid were written with the words "俥傌象士general" and other words, frowning and saying: "Han realm, Wei River...... And the general, what kind of chess is this? ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "This is chess, dedicated to attacking and fighting, General Liu is afraid that we will be bored, so teach this technique to play, which is happier than the black and white." ”

Xu Huang was a military general after all, and he could see at a glance that this was a situation in which the two armies were facing each other across the river, and hurriedly asked, "How to use it?" ”

Zhang Liao pointed to the words on the chessboard and said: "I have killed the other side, directly taken Wen Qian's old camp, and penetrated deep into the enemy territory, and the victory is in my hands!" ”

"Not necessarily, right?" Le Jin, who has always been silent, couldn't help but speak, moved the sunspot car to the riverbank, and said loudly: "I also have a car, you are alone in the depths, and the victory is undecided." ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "If you lose the car and protect the handsome, you will lose a son first, and the defeat is decided." ”

"Not necessarily!" Le Jin blushed and looked at Xu Huang: "Losing a son may not necessarily be defeated, Gongming said yes or no?" ”

"Ask me what to do?" Xu Huang looked at Hongzi until the last line of the other party, and couldn't help but think of his crossing the river to attack the camp and being captured, and suddenly his old face turned red, and he brushed his sleeves and said angrily: "I don't know this chess skill." ”

Xun Yu saw Xu Huang's embarrassment and said with a smile: "The world is like a chess game, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, why should the two argue?" ”

Le Jin refused to give up, and pulled Zhang Liao to finish the endgame, so that Xu Huang could see what was going on, and when he was making a noise, a couple came out of the backyard, the lady had willow eyebrows and almond eyes, her waist and abdomen were high and bulging, and she was obviously pregnant with Liujia.

"Father, Feng'er will be born soon, you should give him a ......" The man was talking, and he was suddenly stunned: "Why is Uncle Xu here?" ”

"Huzi?" Xu Huang turned around and saw Zhang Hu and pointed to the wife he was holding: "When will you get married?" ”

Zhang Hu said with a smile: "When I first arrived in Luoyang, General Guan made a marriage for the two of us, and this is General Guan's daughter, Guan Feng. ”

Then he introduced Xu Huang to Guan Feng, Guan Feng is also the daughter of Jiangmen after all, and took two steps forward to hug his fist and said: "I have heard the name of General Xu for a long time, and my father often mentioned the general when he was in Xiangyang. ”

"Which one will join hands with him?" Xu Huang was shocked, snorted coldly and turned back to Zhang Liao: "Good Zhang Wenyuan, you ...... You have fallen so fast! ”

Zhang Liao said helplessly: "I was also calculated by Yun Chang at that time, and out of helplessness, I knew that I was ashamed of you, so I didn't announce it." ”

"Okay, good, I really misjudged you!" Xu Huang was angry, pointed at Zhang Liao and scolded: "As soon as you were captured, you married Guan Yu, and the prime minister died in Huainan, but he played a game here for recreation, and it turned out to be a disloyal and unrighteous person." ”

Zhang Liao wanted to say that when his grandson was born, he would commit suicide at a glance, but the words stopped when he came to his mouth, and now that Cao Cao is dead, the situation has changed greatly, his mind is not as firm as before, and the matter has come to this point, and more explanations will make people laugh.

Xun Yu said on the side: "The three of them are loyal and resolute, wise and strategic!" The husband has made meritorious contributions, when the change of the evil and the righteous is judged, the distinction between the clear and the bad, the courage is not false, the festival is not stubborn, the bend and the extension change, only the Tao exists, then the loyalty and filial piety do not fall, and the name is also in the future! ”
