Yao Luo led the army to catch up with Ju Yi smoothly.

But Ju Yi, under the escort of the dead soldiers, still fled.

The angry Yao Luo directly killed all the soldiers who had ascended the camp after the break, and none of them remained.

When Cao Hong arrived with his army, Yao Luo had already cleaned up the battlefield.

"Ju Yi still ran away?" Cao Hong handed the war horse to the soldiers, walked to Yao Luo and asked.

Yao Luo, who was exhausted, was resting under a willow tree, and when he saw Cao Hong coming, he got up and said, "It's the last general who is incompetent!" ”

"It's not your fault, it's that we underestimated Juyi's ability. Under such a tight encirclement, he can still fight his way out, this person's combat power is strong, and the soldiers under his command are also fierce. Cao Hong patted Yao Luo's shoulder and made a gesture under the tree where Yao Luo was just sitting, "Sit down, I'll rest too, I'm tired." ”

Yao Luo grinned, "Ju Yi's subordinates went to camp first, it seems that they are all dead soldiers, and they really don't want to die when they fight." ”

Cao Hong fixed his eyes and looked at the soldiers who were resting not far away, "Our morale is also a little low, these soldiers who have trained in the West Park for a year and a half are far less than the previous ones who have only trained in the West Park for one year, this matter makes me a little puzzled." ”

"If we had been as determined to fight as we had before, we would not have died so many people today. They died in their own cowardice, fear, and all of them had the ability, and they were all skilled in bows and horses. ”

Morale is low, soldiers are afraid of war, Yao Luo is also aware of these things.

"It's probably Shengmien, fighting Mi Qiu." Yao Luo took off the bracer from his arm and wiped the blood from his face as he said, "These soldiers have been in the West Garden for too long, and they have not been exposed to a vicious battle like today. ”

"Secondly, they may have forgotten that the imperial court still gave them so much military salaries, and even a large amount of bereavement benefits for those who died in battle at such a difficult time, so that they could fight and fight desperately."

"Maybe they've taken it for granted."

Cao Hong nodded, "Probably these are these two reasons, this is what we should do." ”

"Yes, we should let them know that the imperial court didn't let them mess around like the left and right Yulin Army in the past." Yao Luo echoed.

"Kill a few typical, first shock and see the result." Cao Hong took a few sips of water and handed the water bladder to Yao Luo.

"Back to the army, I hope that Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Ji will successfully leave Yan Liang."

"Whoa!" Yao Luo got up and answered heavily, and then opened the water bladder and drank a few sips.

Finding problems and solving them in time is a phrase they must keep in mind and learn when training in the West Garden.

The autumn wind was blowing, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.

On the battlefield before, there were staggered corpses everywhere.

When Cao Hong rushed back with Yao Luo and others, Xiahou Yuan was leading people to dig pits and bury people.

All the useful things on the soldiers were left behind and put aside in separate categories.

"Why doesn't Zhang Ji see anyone?" Cao Hong walked around for most of the circle and didn't see Zhang Ji, so he found Xiahou Yuan and asked.

Xiahou Yuan smiled a little helplessly, "He was insulted by Yan Liang and chased him out again." ”

"This guy is still going to chase for a hundred miles?" Cao Hong couldn't help but be a little worried.

They have exposed too many problems in this battle, and it is not a good thing to go deep alone at this time.

"Possibly." Xiahou Yuan carefully poured a little wine on the knife, and said while cleaning the horizontal knife, "Although Yan Liang lost this battle, he won in his mouth, and Zhang Ji almost scolded the thief to death." ”

Cao Hong smiled bitterly speechlessly, "This dog's temper thing." Someone came, pass my military order, let Zhang Ji come back quickly, there is an ambush ahead! ”

"There is an ambush?" Xiahou Yuan was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"I'm talking nonsense, but it's not appropriate to rush forward today, we have suffered some heavy losses, it's better to be conservative." Cao Hong explained.

Xiahou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said to Cao Hong angrily: "This kind of thing, don't talk nonsense, be careful that Zhang Ji comes back to fight with you." However, our losses today are indeed a bit tragic, even when you were trapped in Dongyang City, the losses were not so great. ”

Looking at the relics of the fallen soldiers that had been neatly stacked in a long piece, Xiahou Yuan's expression was full of sadness.

It is a very painful thing for a sensual person to be a general.

"Yes, I also talked to Yao Luo about this matter just now, and it's time for the army to do a rectification. After the rotation of soldiers, we were not easy, and the soldiers were not adaptable. Cao Hong said.

Xiahou Yuan polished the blade of the sword, squinted his eyes to observe the blade, and said: "These soldiers have never experienced war, it is reasonable to have such a performance, it would be good to fight a few more battles." ”

"I'm going to kill a few typicals, just one of their spirits!" Cao Hong said in a deep voice.

Xiahou Yuan turned his head and looked at Cao Hong, "There is no need to use such violent means, they just came out of the West Garden, they have never fought, let alone fought such a fierce battle, the means are a little softer, maybe it will be better." ”

"Then try it, you are soft, I am violent." Cao Hong had no intention of accepting Xiahou Yuan's suggestion.

Seeing that Cao Hong couldn't be convinced, Xiahou Yuan didn't continue, and said with a slight bow: "Then try it." ”

When it was dark, Zhang Ji came back with a disgraced face.

"Those Hun dog thieves are really too deceitful!" He scolded and walked into the tent.

Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan were huddled in front of the map, discussing the next deployment of troops.

"Didn't catch up?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

Zhang Ji seemed to have the big word "unwilling" written on his face, and asked Cao Hong: "Zilian, how do you know that they will have an ambush?" ”

"Really?!" Cao Hong was also shocked.

This was a rhetorical question that reacted quite a lot, and Zhang Ji was stunned.

"You don't know? So what do you tell me about an ambush? Zhang Ji's voice suddenly became louder.

Cao Hong said: "I guess that today's battle was much more than we expected. I was worried that the enemy would give us an ambush, so I sent someone to ask you to be careful. Wei County is now a group of demons dancing wildly, and there are too many troops and horses from all sides stationed there. ”

Zhang Ji sat down with his head bored, picked up the wine bowl on the table, and poured it out.

Then he threw the wine bowl on the case and said, "I was ambushed by Yu Fuluo, and this dog didn't eat anything, and when I was chasing and killing Yan Liang, he suddenly came out from behind me." ”

"If it weren't for my courage and the hard work of the soldiers, I am afraid you two would not have seen me today."

"By the way, did Zhang Xiu take Qingyuan City?"

Xiahou Yuan glanced at the wine bowl that Zhang Ji had drunk, and silently took a new one for himself.

While pouring wine for everyone, he said, "Zhang Xiu is quite smooth, Qingyuan is ours now, and there is still grain and grass in the city that Yuan Shao has just escorted from Yecheng, which is enough for us to support two months." I have already submitted a report to Your Majesty, so I don't need to send someone to escort the grain and grass. ”

"It's you, what about the loss?"

Zhang Ji picked up the wine that Xiahou Yuan had just filled, and he was angry again.

Shu Shuang burped, he wiped his mouth, and said: "The loss is not big, compared with my subordinates, Yu Fuluo is not enough to see at all, even if he is a surprise attack, but he didn't get any benefits, let me kill more than a thousand people before stopping." ”

"I'm angry that this fight caught me off guard and let Yan Liang's calf run away."

"I was fortunate to have worked hard for dozens of miles, but I didn't get anything except for more than 1,000 first-level gains."

Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan were also about to relieve Zhang Ji, and when they heard this, they glared together.

"Then you said you almost couldn't come back?" Xiahou Yuan scolded angrily.

"It's almost." Zhang Ji motioned for Xiahou Yuan to pour him wine, and then said, "Have you noticed that the newly rotated Xiyuan soldiers are a bit wasteful?" When Yu Fuluo suddenly came out, those kings and eight calves turned their heads and ran away. ”

"I didn't dare to fight at all. The first one in the back, the one in front didn't know what was going on, and they also ran along. ”

"I lost more than 500 soldiers, and more than 300 were trampled to death, do you tell me if this is almost enough?"

"Those more than 300 soldiers died unjustly!"

"Those who step on horses are trampled to death by their own people!"

Looking at the grief-stricken Zhang Ji, Xiahou Yuan relieved himself and asked, "Then how did you reverse the situation in the end?" ”

"What else can I do? It must have been me Zhang Ji who took the lead and killed it back! Fortunately, only about half of my soldiers were rotated, and after I went out, my old soldiers also rushed forward to stop the decline. Otherwise, you won't be able to see me, and you'll really be defeated. Zhang Ji said.

"I see!" Cao Hong said, "It seems that what Yao Luo said is right, these soldiers have been in the West Garden for a year and a half, even if the skills in their hands have been practiced very well, but their hearts have not been trained. ”

Zhang Ji raised his eyes and looked at Cao Hong, "What are you talking about that I don't understand?" I think how cruel you were when you first came out of the West Garden, compared to these new soldiers, it didn't look like you came out of a mother's womb. ”

"Aren't you looking at the art of war?" Cao Hong asked deliberately.

I don't understand this, it's a bit outrageous.

"Labor and management look at the Analects!" Zhang Ji shouted confidently, "No matter what the reason, you find a way, and then I will copy it." If these soldiers don't pick up, there will be big problems in the future. ”

"A group of Huns actually drove them all over the mountain, how can this be reasonable!"

Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan: ......

Some people's shamelessness, that's all justified.

Chen Lin, who had been taking care of the follow-up of the battlefield, walked in at this time, "Three generals, Your Majesty has come to the will, after conquering Qingyuan City, take a temporary rest and recuperate, and don't rush to enter the army." ”

"Why?" The outrageous Zhang Ji, who had a loud voice, immediately shouted.

"The Yellow Turban Army has raised 300,000 troops to invade Bohai, and Your Majesty means that we will wait and see for the time being." Chen Lin explained.

"These thieves are like endless." Zhang Ji scolded.

Xiahou Yuan got up and looked at the map for a while, and said: "Gongsun Zan is going south, Yuan Shao is guarding Jizhou, and the imperial court army is going north to Yanzhou, and these thieves in Qingzhou should be nervous." They invaded Bohai, probably because they wanted to unite with the Black Mountain thieves. ”

"You see, if they run over like this from the middle, they will have a way to live, otherwise if they squat in Qingzhou, they will only have to wait for death."

"Surrounded on three sides, with the sea on one side, there is no way out."

Xiahou Yuan made such a comparison, and Zhang Ji instantly understood, "They want to eat fart, are we Cao Apu sitting in the party with those herdsmen herding sheep?" This matter has nothing to do with us, since His Majesty has let us rest, let's take a good rest and take the opportunity to straighten out the recruits! ”

"These guys who are taller than me back then are a little undertidyed."

Cao Hong chuckled and said, "Old man Zhang said the truth this time, and he was very reasonable. ”

Zhang Ji shook his shoulders twice and sat upright, "Come, call my lord!" ”

"Get out!"

……

Pavilion pottery.

Ju Yi took the remaining hundred people and stumbled to the pavilion pottery in the night.

When he arrived, the gate of Guantao City was wide open, and Guantao Ling Zhuge Yuan was waiting there with the county's strong bravery.

Ju Yi, who was so tired that it was a little difficult to even speak, after he stepped forward to see it, he smiled miserably: "Pavilion Tao Ling already knows the news of our defeat? ”

Zhuge Yuan, who had a simple and simple face, shook his head, "The general is also invited to enter the city, and we will talk while walking." ”

Everyone set off, Zhuge Yuan ordered the city gate to be closed, and after the county bravely went to the city to defend it, he said to Ju Yi while walking, "The lower official made a hexagram on a whim today." The hexagram told me that after sunset, two generals who had fallen would arrive at Guantao, and since Guantao was adjacent to Qingyuan, I guessed something. ”

"It turns out that Mr. Jingchun is Mr. Jingchun, who is very good at divination." Ju Yi was disrespectful and hurriedly met Zhuge Yuan.

Zhuge Yuan's reputation is not big in Jizhou, but it is not small either.

He is good at divination, and if he knows a little bit about this trade, it is absolutely impossible not to know Zhuge Yuan.

But if you don't know, I'm afraid you won't know what the name of the pavilion pottery order is.

Although Ju Yi didn't believe in this technique, he barely believed it, so he knew Zhuge Yuan's ability in the way of divination.

"I don't dare to be called a general, I'm just a mere hall pottery order, and I have occasional gains from the way of divination." Zhuge Yuan shook his head and said modestly.

Ju Yi's heart moved, and he asked, "Can that gentleman calculate whether there are pursuers behind us, and whether Guantao will be attacked?" ”

Zhuge Yuan smiled, "This, the lower official really counts." In the future, it seems that the pottery will be very peaceful. ”

"It's peaceful?" This answer made Ju Yi very surprised, "Impossible, the imperial court is in full swing at the moment, how can it give up the opportunity to pursue while it is victorious?" As long as they take advantage of the victory, it should be easy for them to take down the pavilion pottery. ”

Zhuge Yuan, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, "General, the imperial court is very strong?" ”

Let Ju Yi tell him, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

"If I wasn't strong, there wouldn't be only so many people left around me, and I would almost be killed. The whereabouts of the two generals, Yan Liang and Lu Bu, are not known now, but I am afraid that the situation will not be too good. Ju Yi sighed faintly.

Thinking of that battle in the daytime, he still felt as if he was on the battlefield, and the enemy army was approaching behind him.

"You just said that two generals will arrive at Guantao?" Ju Yi suddenly thought of what Zhuge Yuan had just mentioned.

Zhuge Yuan nodded, "That's true in the hexagram, but that general seems to be a little unkind." ”

"What do you mean?" Ju Yi stopped abruptly, frowned and looked at Zhuge Yuan suspiciously, "The general who is not good at coming, isn't it the pursuit of the enemy army?" ”

"That's not it, it's friend or foe, the subordinate has figured it out." Zhuge Yuan shook his head and said.

Ju Yi was stunned when he heard this, "It's not an enemy, so why is it not good?" ”

Zhuge Yuan shook his head, "Xiaguan is just divination, but there is no way to see the future!" ”

Ju Yi: ......
