It's over.

This huge battle ended like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves.

When the morale of an army drops to a certain point, it will break and it will disintegrate, as is the case with the Wei cavalry, and the same is true for the tiger and leopard cavalry.

And from the moment they began to collapse and began to flee in all directions, the battle was doomed.

In just half an hour, in this valley, only Wei Qi who fell to the ground remained, and the others... Climbing mountains, jumping over rivers, escaping into woods and meadows, they used every means to escape from here, from this killing Shura field.

Of course, the scattered escape of the Wei army also made it more difficult for the Shu army and the Di soldiers to pursue...

In less than an hour, all the voices of the Wei army were gone, and only the corpses of that place remained, more than 10,000 people.

Count carefully, how much more than 10,000? This number... I'm afraid it's more than 20,000.

In fact, most of these Wei riders and tiger and leopard riders did not die at the hands of the enemy, but collided with each other and trampled on each other.

Undoubtedly, the collapse of morale, the defeat of the army ...

The losses are even greater.

…

The dense black shadows on the mountains, the people of Naba, Shu, Yong, Pu, Wei, Jia, and Bureaucrats, they saw that the Wei army was killed and retreated, and they left.

Not everyone wants to join the military, and not everyone wants to make a name for themselves.

More people, no matter which nationality, they want to live in peace and tranquility, even if it is a troubled time, at least... Leave them a way to live!

They didn't even say hello to the Shu army again, they were just doing their part.

…

The drum array under the canopy umbrella has long been dilapidated, and the golden armor that was thrown by a spear, here, in addition to the corpses and swords all over the ground, only Ma Chao is still standing there.

He flipped the cheek of the fallen golden armor...

He whispered, "Sure enough, it's fake—"

In front of him, behind him, there were corpses on the ground, at least a few thousand.

He turned around and walked behind him step by step, and he saw a familiar weapon unique to the Di people, a familiar Di costume.

Among the corpses all over the ground, the people who fell to the ground... Their number is also staggering.

The tiger head Zhan golden gun in Ma Chao's hand fell to the ground, and he slowly knelt on one knee, his face full of tired and miserable faces.

Because of him these men came and died because of him.

Looking around, the living people are looking at Ma Chao, a team of 5,000 people, as far as Ma Chao can see... There are less than a thousand left.

Ma Chao never... This battle can be fought so fiercely.

He had never been so sad as he is today.

He even felt that his eyes were dark, but fortunately, Yang Qian beside him supported him.

Ma Chao's face was extremely pale, without a trace of blood, looking at most of the wounded soldiers, he pushed away the people he was supporting, and walked in the direction of the mountain road back.

"Meng Qi..."

Yang Wan has been following behind Ma Chao.

Ma Chao's face was expressionless, and he walked along the mountain road, and there were corpses in one place, and dozens of soldiers wearing Diren armor were lying on the ground every short distance.

Ma Chao's heart throbbed.

They don't know anything about their lives—

But the trust and affection between them are like those of his Ma Chao's father Ma Teng, his younger brothers Ma Xiu, Ma Tie... And dear!

But it was they who used their own blood and their own lives to pave Ma Chao's exploits and glory.

is reflecting that sentence - one will be a success!

"Boom-"

Feeling the smell of blood in the air, Ma Chao seemed to be out of strength, and the whole person quickly fell, and the whole person fainted.

"Big brother..."

The upright Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai arrived, their eyes were red, they were affectionate and anxious, and they shouted in unison.

"Quick, save my big brother!"

Ma Yunlu held Ma Chao in his arms, looking at Ma Chao's appearance, Ma Yunlu couldn't help but gasp, it was covered in blood, and the blood soaked from the head to the soles of his feet.

This look is really like returning from hell-

Zhang Fei also rushed over, and when he saw Ma Chao's appearance, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and sighed.

"How can such a person be unfaithful? How can it be unjust? How can it not be trusted? ”

Even with the Shu army brought by Zhang Fei behind them, they looked at the unconscious Ma Chaoshi, and they all had admiration in their eyes.

"Come on, quickly bring General Ma back to Xiafen City, and treat him immediately!"

After a sigh of emotion, Zhang Fei shouted anxiously.

Stay until Ma Chao, who is unconscious, is taken down by the soldiers...

Wu Lan whispered, "It's not Cao Xiu who is wearing golden armor under the canopy, and Cao Xiu has not been found in the entire search process——"

This...

did not kill Cao Xiu, which somewhat made this battle a fly in the ointment.

But soon, "hehe..." Zhang Fei sneered, he looked around the battlefield, looking at the corpses all over the ground.

He sighed: "In this battle, Cao Jun died and there were 20,000 horsemen, right?" ”

When he blurted out these words, he paused rarely, he had never been a mother-in-law, but this time, his tone stumbled, "In the face of six times the number of enemy horses, and it is a narrow road encounter, such a record is proud enough, quickly send a letter to my eldest brother, telling him the courage and loyalty of the 'horse'!" ”

This time, it was Zhang Fei, who also admired Ma Chao's five-body throw!

…

…

When Ma Chao woke up, it was already noon on the second day.

He found that he was sleeping on a particularly comfortable wooden bed in an elegant room, and the quilt on his body still carried a fragrance.

Ma Chao blinked, a little confused.

When I got up, I saw that it was not only him in the room, but also his sister-in-law Ma Yunlu.

This year's Ma Yunlu is only twenty years old, the youngest of all Ma Teng's children, it is the best years, she has a straightforward personality, gentle and generous, good health, beautiful as a flower, especially the sword eyebrows, looking at it from a distance... Heroic.

"Big brother? Are you awake? ”

Seeing Ma Chao get up, Ma Yunlu hurriedly ran over and looked at him worriedly.

Ma Chao subconsciously wanted to go to the ground, but he noticed the layers of thick bandages on his body, which restrained his movements and made him unable to move at will.

In addition, there was a sharp pain in the armpit, and the painful Ma Chao gritted his teeth, which was still a rare feeling for Ma Chao, he didn't feel it on the battlefield, but now that he was relaxed, he really wanted to faint in pain.

"Where is this?"

Ma Chao first asked this sentence, and then he seemed to have found the answer immediately, and replied by himself: "This must be Xiazhucheng?" That... Did Cao Xiu really catch it? ”

"No..."Ma Yunlu told the battle truthfully, "Yesterday, big brother Shenwu, our army won a complete victory, there were more than 20,000 corpses of the Wei army on the small mountain road, and even the corpses of horses exceeded 10,000, but... The fly in the ointment was that he couldn't catch that Cao Xiu, but his brother cut off his right arm, and he was almost a waste. ”

"It's a pity..."Ma Chao muttered, somewhat regretful.

Ma Yunlu said with a smile: "Big brother, don't mind too much, 5,000 to 30,000, kill 20,000 enemies... This is already a miracle! ”

"Where's the grain?" Ma Chao asked: "There are so many people in the city now?" What about the grain? ”

Ma Yunlu continued to explain, "I just told my eldest brother that in addition to killing 20,000 enemies in this battle, more than 10,000 horses died on the mountain road.

Oh...

Hearing Ma Yunlu's words, Ma Chao bowed his head, and these dead horses solved the urgent need.

Ma Yunlu's words continued, "Besides, because of my brother, we captured Cao Hong, Wang Yi, Zhao Ang... Tens of thousands of grains were also found from Cao Hong's residence, and countless gold, silver and jewelry were even more numerous, even... The Wei army forcibly conscripted the grain of the Di people, and it has not yet been transported to Hanzhong... At present, it seems that food is plentiful. ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao suddenly thought of something.

"The forcibly requisitioned food needs to be returned to the Di people..."

It seems that after this battle, Ma Chao is closely connected with the hearts of these Di soldiers, and he will think about what they think.

And with Ma Chao's words...

"Hahaha..."

A hearty laugh rang out, and then Zhang Fei walked briskly from outside the door.

It turned out that Ma Chao woke up, and Ma Dai, who was originally guarding the door, hurriedly went to inform Zhang Fei...

Zhang Fei was still interrogating Cao Hong, so he left him directly and rushed here non-stop.

Compared with Ma Chao, who was wrapped in bandages, Zhang Fei was like a majestic grizzly bear, he was shirtless, as if he was quite excited, his six-pack abdominal muscles were bulging, and his biceps brachii were already as tight as a skin drum without special accumulation.

"Meng Qi, Meng Qi, your special mother is really fierce, five times more fierce than me Zhang Yide, ten times-"

As he spoke, because of excitement, Zhang Fei clenched his fist and gently hammered it on Ma Chao's shoulder bone. "Don't worry, I have already returned all the grain that was forcibly requisitioned against Wei to the Di people in the name of you, the 'Shenwei General', not only the Di people, but also those Ba, Shu, Yong, Pu, Wei, Yuan, and bureaucrats... Now, they are all singing the praises of your Shenwei Heavenly General's name! ”

As Zhang Fei said.

The people in the troubled times don't have so many dreams, and they never thought of changing the world.

All they hope for is a ration of food, not to starve, to avoid precariousness, to sleep in the open, not to be able to dress in the cold, and not to eat when hungry.

It's just that.

Zhang Fei was right, what was wrong was the punch he hammered on Ma Chao's shoulder bone.

This punch was very light, and it definitely only used one part of Zhang Fei's strength.

Can...

"Click-"

The shoulders are connected to the armpits, and Ma Chao's shoulder bones are like his heart, almost shattered...

He was suddenly unprepared, snorted, and suddenly felt his blood surge, and his throat was sweet.

Suddenly, his heart exploded.

- "Zhang Fei, your grandmother's leg, is my bone broken?"

thought so in his heart, but Ma Chao still relied on his usually strong physique to barely support him, but his face was as white as paper, and he couldn't wait to roar out to vent the sharp pain from his shoulder.

Seeing that Ma Chao's face was pale.

Zhang Fei asked with concern: "What?" Why is Meng Qi's face so bad? Shouldn't I have distributed the forcible grain and grass in your name? ”

- "Food! You! Sister!'

Ma Chao thought so in his heart, but he said, "I! Not! Affair! ”

He evens out his breathing...

Zhang Feile scratched his head, "It's okay if it's okay, you can take care of your injuries, you don't have to worry about food, we have plenty of money here, as for... Hanzhong's counteroffensive? Hahaha, with this big victory, he didn't dare to take a step out of that Yangping Pass with ten guts! ”

“……”

Ma Chao's shoulder still hurts, and his armpit hurts even more, and he is not sure if he is bleeding again.

Thankfully, he's in amazing health, otherwise... Or is it Zhang Fei's punch, he is really going to be taken away, if he is taken away, then what is the irony? didn't die on the battlefield, died in the hands of friendly soldiers, and what was special was not a backstab, it was a blow that was bright and bright, and couldn't find fault!

Lei Tong followed Zhang Fei, and when he saw Ma Chao, although he was smiling, behind the smile was sympathy.

As Zhang Fei's deputy general, he is still very trusting and close, in addition to his Lei Tong, there is also Wu Lan in the camp, of course, the two of them need the doctor in the camp to give medicine every once in a while, treat their injuries, and often bruise all over their bodies.

Zhang Fei's words continued, "I'll just say, how can what is written in "God of War" be fake? Yunqi, that kid said you, Ma Chao... Whatever it is..."

Speaking of Guan Lin, Zhang Fei's words stopped abruptly, "I'll talk about these things when you're injured, I've already sent the battle report of this battle to my eldest brother, and you Ma Mengqi is the first merit, just wait for the eldest brother's reward!" ”

Yes...

Ma Chao was still curious, isn't "God of War" a military book comparable to "Taigong's Art of War"?

How could he be written in it?

And also... Cloud flags? Shiro Seki?

What did he mention about himself?

These questions just surfaced in his mind, and Ma Chao was pulled away by Zhang Fei's words.

Head work?

Is it a bounty?

Ma Chao paused, he raised his head to look at Zhang Fei, and said in a serious and meaningful tone, "Yide? You say the Lord Guild trusts me? Do you want to reuse my Ma Chao? ”

This...

Zhang Fei was stunned by Ma Chao's question.

What did this have to go through?

How much has it been? Can you be so unconfident?

Zhang Fei subconsciously waved his palm again, and slapped Ma Chao's shoulder again, he roared and opened his mouth: "How can the eldest brother use me Zhang Fei, then how can I use you Ma Mengqi, how many soldiers will I Zhang Fei command, and how many soldiers will you Ma Mengqi command!" Unless my eldest brother and Kong Ming are blind, I will reuse you Ma Mengqi-"

Zhang Fei's words like a declaration made Ma Chao's heart throb.

He suddenly discovered that Zhang Fei's fist... It doesn't seem to hurt so much, because I see hope... He can still bear this body and bones!

…

…

In Jiangzhou, Zhuge Liang rushed here.

He was in Dujiangyan before, and he was on the spot, seeking ways to increase grain production and prepare for the future... The battle of Hanzhong, which will definitely come, has accumulated sufficient grain and grass.

Zhuge Liang even predicted that the first battle of Hanzhong must be a protracted battle, considering that the Wei army could pass through Qishan and continuously transport troops from Xiacheng to support Hanzhong.

So.

The game in Hanzhong is not only about the arrangement of troops on both sides, but also about the logistical support and transportation capacity.

Grain and grass are crucial.

Originally, the problem of increasing grain and grass production in Dujiangyan was difficult enough.

But who would have thought that Liu Bei put forward a new request, the situation in the city was as dangerous as a burden, the two generals were in the lower division, life and death were not servants, and Liu Bei was going to go on the expedition.

So, Zhuge Liang rushed to Jiangzhou and raised food nearby.

Jiang Wan also came in the dust, and as soon as he entered the city, he went straight to Zhuge Liang's temporary office.

"How?"

Seeing Jiang Wan, Zhuge Liang asked busily.

Jiang Wan replied truthfully: "According to the orders of the military division, all the grain depots have been surveyed, except for the south and the middle, almost all the grain depots have not stored half of the grain... Nanzhong is also the land of the Nanban tribes, whether it is the Department of Commerce, or the spread of the acres is not involved there, it is quite difficult to collect grain from there, and those barbarian kings are quite resistant. ”

"Nanzhong?" Zhuge Liang squinted, he stroked his forehead gently, "Although Nanzhong is nominally subordinate to the lord, in fact, they have not paid tribute grain by year and month, and they have transferred grain from there... Don't think about it for the time being, let's just say that the existing city, which one can still squeeze out a little grain and grass! ”

Zhuge Liang was almost heartbroken for Liu Bei's army to march north.

He's not a good woman, but he's really making "rice cooking"...

This one...

Jiang Wan also knew that judging the rapid changes in the battlefield situation, he stared at his eyebrows, and his expression was quite solemn.

It was Ma Yan beside Zhuge Liang who proposed.

"Actually, there is really some grain and grass..."

Zhuge Liang turned back suddenly, and Jiang Wan also looked at Ma Yan.

Ma Jian explained, "The Commerce Department has jurisdiction over the merchants of the entire Bashu, and if they sell grain and grass, they need to be transferred in the granary, which is why our granary is actually pressed with a batch of grain from the Commerce Bureau, which is the grain of the merchants, but it can be used for emergencies... It's just..."

Ma Yan's words came to an abrupt end when he reached the key point, and he didn't dare to say the consequences of doing so.

In fact, the consequences of doing so are severe.

You must know that, strictly speaking, the Commerce Bureau's suppression of this batch of grain is only a routine inspection, and these grains are all from merchants, and the Commerce Department is not qualified to dispatch them at will.

Once the merchant can't receive the grain, the prestige of the Commerce Department will fall to the ground overnight, and even... No businessman is willing to join the Commerce Department and support the Commerce Department.

It's a whole body that touches the whole body!

Zhuge Liang didn't know the seriousness of the problem, he closed his eyes, "If the city can be captured, it will be very important for the northern attack on the Han lieutenant general, but now... The two generals were deeply trapped in it, life and death, it can be seen that the difficulty of the fall of the city, I heard that Cao Xiu led 30,000 elite cavalry to the city to help, and the matter was urgent... The lord must also support as soon as possible, otherwise Yide and Meng Qi will be more than lucky. ”

Zhuge Liang said such a big thing, but he gritted his teeth and opened his mouth bitterly: "However, the grain of the Commerce Department is not ours, it is the businessman's... Finally, because of the 'Commerce Department' proposed by Yunqi, it is not easy to restrain businessmen and stabilize prices. Now, because of this war, do you want to bring it all back to square one? ”

Listening to Zhuge Liang's sigh and sigh.

Ma Jian said: "Compared with businessmen, there is no doubt... The city is more important, the tens of thousands of Shu troops are more important, and the two generals are more important! ”

Jiang Wan didn't speak, he could understand Zhuge Liang's mood, but at this time, he had to make a choice.

Since ancient times, you can't have both fish and bear's paws.

"Yes..."Zhuge Liang sighed with some emotion: "Yide and Meng Qi are still too anxious, trying to take one step at a time in Hanzhong, but the Sanba battlefield is too smooth, because of Yunqi's "God of War", which almost condenses the battlefield of a year into one month, which also gives Yide and Meng Qi too much confidence!" ”

For a while, Zhuge Liang was also confused, and suddenly he didn't know that this vigorous and resolute capture of Sanba, and then non-stop, continued to go north to capture the city, all this... True or False?

Isn't it too urgent?

For him, since the governance of Shuzhong has abolished the poll tax and implemented the apportionment into the mu, it should be people-oriented... But the current situation is the root of governance in Shu!

"I can't decide, this matter... I still asked the lord, and it was up to him to decide! ”

Zhuge Liang waved his hand, "The grain storage of the Department of Commerce is in Jiangzhou, now, let's go to Zitong together, meet the lord, and personally explain this matter to him, whether you want a fish or a bear's paw... Only the lord can choose. ”

Talking...

Zhuge Liang turned around and walked out the door.

That's when it happened.

"Newspaper—"

A messenger quickly barged into the room and presented a book.

"What is this?"

Zhuge Liang was curious, at this time... Who's going to send a book?

But I heard the messenger say: "This is the "Heroes" compiled by Xiangyang Guan Taishou and Jian'an celebrity Wang Cang... said that the biography of the two had been completed, and asked Zhuge to take a look. ”

- Heroes?

The biography of the two?

Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, he hurriedly took the book, held it in his hand, and was amazed... On the front of the book is written the words "Heroes".

Zhuge Liang turned the first page, and he was amazed... A name appeared in front of his eyes.

Yes - Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi!

And the chapter that belongs to him has an eye-catching title:

- "Heroes: From Yongliang Shuzi Ma Er to General Han Shenwei"

In the next column of this question, a line of small characters in seal script is in front of you.

Unfaithful? Unfilial? Unrighteousness?

No, it's just Xiliang Ma'er messing up!

General Shenweitian has always valued love and righteousness.

He will always be trustworthy -

…

…

For this chapter, don't wait, readers.

Inexplicably, there is a feeling that the head is about to crack.

Is this heat stroke?

(End of chapter)
