Before she finished her words, Tian Yu's expression suddenly collapsed.

"This really shouldn't be!" He shouted bitterly, "Why is he so resolute because his family has been poor since he was a child!" ”

Chapter 420

There must be a time error in such a thing as a war, and even if it is one's own army, as long as the troops are divided, it will be difficult to launch an attack at the same time. Historically, many peasant uprisings agreed at a certain time to be done together in various places, but because of the different times of the army, they were broken by the officials and troops in batches, which can be used as evidence.

Tai Shi Ci has an unforgettable experience and lesson on this point, at the beginning he volunteered to fight tired times, wanted to divide the troops by land and water at the same time to meet under the city, and then destroy the withered and decayed, directly to Yuan Tan's granary burst, but he arrived by boat, and the division of troops on land was not too late until this battle was over.

…… The reason is also very simple, the plain country is particularly desolate, so there is no reliable guide on the way to the north, although the general direction is correct, but it is inevitable to take a little detour.

So when he saw that his general was seriously injured, the partial general burst into tears, drew his sword and prepared to learn the story of General Li Guang, but when he was stopped by someone who said evilly, there was already a blood mark on his neck.

Since then, Tai Shici has kept this matter in his heart.

No matter how far or near it is, there is no time error in fighting a war, and it is absolutely impossible to start a war at any time.

Therefore, the cautious Badun did not come to the front of the former military camp at that misty dawn to fight the main force of the army he imagined. He has to wait for Wen Chou's side to send a letter, he has already cut off the road of the rear army, and the two sides are outflanked together, and then he can do it, otherwise he will not gnaw on the hard bones.

…… That fish bone hasn't gone down yet! Still reminding him in his throat!

He walked around the camp, first at his own soldiers, then at the cavalry, then at the infantry, and he did not even ignore the slave camp, which was stinking and that many had fallen because of the harsh living conditions, but the big man frowned, held his breath, and walked around outside.

"How many slaves died?" He asked the little boss who ran the slave camp.

The latter calculated for a while, "There are about 150 people ...... today"

"So much!" He wanted to scold, but seeing the little leader standing there respectfully and respectfully, showing him his bright hair, Da Shan Yu swallowed the curse again.

His soldiers are not Yuan Gong's Jizhou Army, let alone Lu Lian's Qingzhou Army, he likes the lessons and lessons of those famous Han generals marching and fighting in military books and history books, but it is not easy for him to implement them.

For example, he struggled to get his soldiers to separate the feces from the water source, but he was never able to get the nobles to do the same for their slaves.

Raton glanced at the camp that was gradually stenching with death, and decided to refocus his thoughts on the upcoming decisive battle.

He didn't have to wait long.

While he continued to wait and see, several generals under Lu Lian's command had already left the Chinese military camp with their soldiers.

Their soldiers walked in a hurry, their faces were still bloody, and their hands with knives were a little slippery, so they had to grab a piece of dirt by the side of the road and rub it and wash it.

They also ate breakfast too early, so they were hungry immediately after a big battle.

But food had already been prepared in the former barracks and hurriedly placed outside the camp. They repeatedly lit fires in the camp these days, and burned several pots, so that the corn was a little raw when they ate it, but fortunately, the leader of the gang added a spoonful of hot broth to each of them, so the soldiers took off their waists the Diao Dou that could be used to weigh food, drink water, eat, and if necessary, also serve as a warning, and lined up to beat this bowl of soup and rice, eating while walking.

By the time the soldiers reached the camp in Bunton, they had already finished eating.

The hot food had fallen into his stomach, turning into heat and strength rushing into his limbs.

The sun had gradually set to the west, and the sound of a rapid fighting sounded in the camp of Badun.

More than 10,000 troops were led by Tai Shici, and the second battle with the goal of breaking the main force of Badun began.

It was getting dark.

The Qingzhou army's offensive gradually slowed down until it stopped, so the people in the circle could finally breathe.

But the opposite side did not leave a passage for these surrounded Jizhou cavalry. Everywhere there were torches, everywhere there were horses rejected, everywhere there was the cold light of the spear tip.

They were guarded in a wasteland, without water, and unless they broke through, they would still die.

But these Jizhou people are not afraid of death, they look at their commander with two eyes, the commander of the Wuhuan Turquoise Cavalry, since receiving the news of General Wen's death, until now, the expression on that person's face does not seem to have changed at all, he is calm beyond everyone's imagination, and his decisiveness and ruthlessness have contributed to this calmness, and finally re-established the backbone among these trapped Jizhou cavalry.

He sat on the stump, his dry lips cracked with bloodshots, but he didn't seem to notice it.

A soldier brought water and wanted to ask him to drink some water, but he refused.

His eyes were always on behind the torches.

It's not easy to find so many torches.

To be precise, this night burned almost a month's worth of tung oil, cloth strips or something.

But Lu Hangyu was still anxious as he spun around behind those torches.

"Since he has an old relationship with the lord, why doesn't he turn his back and surrender with Lilly?" She asked, "When the lord is powerful in the future, he will not lose his position as a marquis." ”

"Zhao Zhao is a man of integrity, he will not descend."

The land hanging fish spun around again.

"If he doesn't surrender, can he let those war horses come out and surrender? I counted, in addition to the casualties and those who fled, there were more than 2,000 people there, and he killed these hundreds of war horses, and nearly a thousand of them! The more she spoke, the more sad she became, "He shouldn't have taken the war horse hostage!" ”

Tian Yu tucked his two hands into his sleeves.

Although he didn't wear armor, he was out and about, unlike Chen Qun, who still wanted a scribe's demeanor, he had his sleeves tied.

Now trying to tuck your hands into your sleeves looks very weird.

But Lu Hangyu still understood his body language, "Didn't you blame him for killing the horse just now!" Now I think I'm ashamed! ”

Tian Yu lowered his head, remained silent, and did not respond to the whining words of his general.

When the two poor ghosts were frozen like this, Sima Yi, who was high in the crown next to him and had always been able to put his hand into his sleeve very properly, stepped forward.

"The general who led the recruitment has both strategy and integrity, and he has an old relationship with Liu Yuanjun, why didn't the general recruit him to his command?"

She and Tian Yu turned their heads together to look at this strategist who usually doesn't like to talk, so his sense of existence is particularly weak.

"There are five things for a soldier, if you can fight, you can't fight, you can't defend, you can't defend, and the rest of the two things can only be surrendered and dead," Sima Yi said naturally, "He has no food and no water today, he can't hold it, and he can't get out of it, just look at the general's life or death." ”

"I have asked the soldiers," she said, "that he will not surrender!" ”

"The general went to ask, but he refused to surrender," Sima Yi said, "but Qiaotian is too guarded here, what if there is an old man who repairs a book and sends it into the battle?" ”

A soldier hurriedly sent pen and ink, found a stump, and took out a bamboo plank, but was immediately stopped by Sima Yi.

"Don't want this," he said, "for silk." ”

Tian Yu looked at the young scribe in a daze, "If this letter is only for reminiscing and persuading to surrender, there is no need to use silk ......."

Sima Yi smiled and turned his very flexible neck, "It makes sense in the next place, it's too conservative and writes." ”

A small circle of people quickly formed around the stump.

Everyone stretched their necks, wanting to see what powerful things could be written in the main book, so Tian Yu unconsciously began to sweat.

…… Despite sweating, his thinking was still very clear and his mind was very calm, so when he put pen to paper, he not only wrote neatly, but also wrote most of the paragraph in one go, and never made a mistake in a single word.

Sima Yi frowned deeply.

Finally, the letter was written.

Of course, you have to wait for the ink to dry completely, and then you can fold it up and send it in a silk bag.

But when this scheming little Sima saw Tian Yu stop writing, he immediately took the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to throw it hard at a few of them!

- The onlookers were shocked!

- Especially Tian Yuanjun, who writes all day long, didn't hold back, a strange sound came out of his throat and eyes, and he just wanted to stop it, but choked back the words.

Sima Yi picked up the letter he had poisoned, took a closer look at it by the light of the fire, dried it carefully, and turned around to smile strangely at Tian Yu and Lu Hangyu.

"If the general and the envoy believe me, take this letter and go, don't persuade them to surrender, but only say that they should leave half of the horses and let them go."

"More than 2,000 people," she didn't hold back, "let them go?" ”

Sima Yi nodded, "In a few days, they should be back again." ”

The night was dark, and the surroundings seemed to be quiet, except for the "crackling" sound of tung oil burning, and the occasional chirping of grass insects in the grass.

It was a warm autumn night, and they hadn't closed their eyes for a day and a night, and they had experienced another big battle, and now they were very tired.

But no one dared to sleep.

Even with your eyes closed, from time to time you should lift one eyelid to see the direction of the fire.

They couldn't see through what was behind the fire, but they felt that there were many ghosts there, with white faces, hidden in the night, staring at them with greedy eyes, and if one of them was not careful, they would rush up and take them.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps and noise behind the fire, was it a night attack? Can't they wait?!

The soldiers all nervously got up from the ground, their weapons clutched in their hands, ready to fight to the death against the Qingzhou people who attacked at night, but they met an envoy who wanted to catch up with their general.

The messenger was a young scholar with a very good appearance, and he made people feel good at first sight.

Or he didn't look so handsome, but he came, not those soldiers, which was enough to make the hearts of the people of Jizhou hang high for a moment, and then fall gently.

When the confused figure came out of the center of the circle, and when he saw Tian Yu surrounded by soldiers, and got the letter he handed over, the loyal general did not realize what was going to happen next.

But there is no doubt that more than 2,000 soldiers witnessed what followed.

Chapter 421

This letter is in Tian Yu's handwriting, and there is no problem at all.

The tone of the letter was also very sincere, first recalling their previous friendship - but very considerately did not mention Liu Bei - and then sighed about how much Tian Yu missed him after they separated. Next, the pen turned and wrote about the battle between the two armies, he fought so bravely, commanded so decisively, even the enemy must praise his courage and integrity, so Lu Lian was unwilling to kill him, and wanted to talk to him, for example, he gave up half of his horses, and Lu Lian promised to let them go back, so that everyone would not have to die.

Zhao took the letter and read it twice, the meaning was very clear, but Tian Yu was in a hurry when he wrote the letter, and a few inconsequential places were dripped with ink, covering up the handwriting, especially in the opening reminiscence, the ink dripped especially - but what does it matter about reminiscing?

After reading the letter, when he looked up, a circle of soldiers around him looked at him with blank eyes.

Before he could open his mouth, a soldier couldn't help but ask: "General, how is it?" ”

The general is indeed a person who makes them respect, but even if they do, they want to try to take a way to live, and now seeing the general's old service in the army of Lu Lian, and his attitude is so kind, the soldiers' originally desperate and determined hearts are gradually activated.

"He wants half the horses before he can let us go."

An angry invective erupted among the soldiers.

These words include, but are not limited to, despising the poverty of Qingzhou people, the greed of Qingzhou people, the small abacus of Qingzhou people, etc., they know! Those Qingzhou people have to lick the edge of the bowl after eating! They are so poor, and they have never seen any really good horses, and now they have such thoughts, it is normal!

But in the midst of all the noisy and chaotic, grunting invective, the real anger and murderous intent had gradually subsided.

The soldiers are very distressed about the war horses, they were very distressed when they were killed, and now they have to hand them over even more distressed, these war horses are personally served by them, and they are washed and fed, and they are more careful than their ancestors, how can they not feel distressed?

But after all, it was just a war horse, just a precious belongings, and it was clear at a glance which was more important than their lives.

Therefore, the soldiers muttered and shouted, but no one stood up against this condition, and was ready to live and die with the horses.
