That face showed a very complicated expression - according to Sima Yi's analysis after the fact, it probably contained a variety of emotions such as "hating iron does not become steel", "seeing the poor dagger", "if you are willing to die, I am willing to bury it".

Mr. Jian Xianhe stopped going around in circles, "It's okay to let you stay with the lord, and when those few who have lost the battle come back in a while, can you not help laughing?" ”

In front of everyone's eyes, General Lu Lian, who was the most respected by Liu Bei's side, suddenly drooped his head and quietly went to the back row.

Someone turned heads and whispered for some reason, not knowing what Jian Yong said.

However, Zhang He and Gao Ran, who were following Lu Lian, heard the whole process clearly.

Seeing Lu Lianzuan behind, Zhang He almost followed and took a step.

Gao Ran tugged at him.

So Zhang He still stayed, with a serious face.

The strength of the Jizhou army can be seen from the army slowly returning from a distance.

The traces of war remained on their armor, on their clothes, on their bodies, or on their faces, and they set out with smoke and dust all the way, and ran triumphantly towards that sweet dream.

The Han Dynasty wants Sanxing, but if you look at the old examples of Guangwu, you will know that Sanxing is also in Liu Bei, so the nobles are dreaming of seeking a little military merit in the Jizhou Army, so that they can earn a better title for themselves when they are rewarded for their merits in the future.

The soldiers dreamed of snatching something from the Jizhou army and coming back - Hebei is so rich, so rich and prosperous, I heard that they are there, and the wives of the head of Qianshou are wearing silk!

They walked slowly out of their dreams on muddy dirt roads, their clothes stained with mud and blood, their feet swollen and inflamed from walking in the mud for a long time, first red, then blue, and some of the soldiers' feet were already purple.

But they seemed to be ignorant, and they walked all the way back with their bare feet.

There are homeless people who are puzzled and whispering.

- What about their shoes?

- What about the new clothes they stook?

- What about the bags they carry on their shoulders and are full?

These whispers turned into a cold wind blowing through the wilderness outside the city after Cai Mao approached.

"Losing the army and returning in vain," he bowed deeply, "Shame on the envoy!" ”

Liu Bei grabbed his hand.

"This soldier is also in a good situation," he said loudly, "and with you to help me, why worry about not succeeding!" Yuan thief is not broken! ”

Someone secretly cried.

Most of the Lujiang soldiers were crying, the Xiliang soldiers looked numb a lot, and the Jingzhou soldiers were the best of the three soldiers.

They even literally made a pocket out of clothes stripped off on the battlefield, pocketed something of the unknown and carried it on their shoulders bulgingly.

They did set up camp soon after they ran out to find the outcasts.

The wounds on their bodies had scabbed, but their mud and bloodstained clothes needed to be washed, and they had to wash themselves well.

In front of the small, dilapidated tents, buckets after buckets of freshly boiled hot water were brought over for them to scrub their bodies.

These soldiers didn't care at all if it hurt to be naked in broad daylight.

Who cares about those who crawl out of the pile of the dead? While scrubbing their bodies in the steaming heat, or adding a few more five-baht coins for the homeless people to do for them, they shouted loudly what they had done with General Huang on that rainy night!

Those Jizhou people are indeed very strong! They weren't any less than seven feet tall! There are even many people who are more than eight feet tall and brave!

Their armor is really strong, too! There is only one white mark on the ring head knife!

Not to mention their crossbows! Covering the sky and the sun, piercing down is not like an arrow, like a spear! How much iron is used to make it so heavy! I can't even pull it out!

But, but, so what?!

They have General Huang!

When General Huang charged, the faces of those Jizhou people! One by one, like frightened rabbits, they threw off their armor and fled in embarrassment!

When they shouted so loudly, the homeless people around them would never know how to work, and they found every gap where they could interject, and deliberately asked many naïve and stupid questions.

- They are tired of carrying all this loot, right?

- I heard that these things can be exchanged for a cow, whoa?

- Why are they the only ones who came back with these pockets, and the Xiliang soldiers brought a lot less, and those Lujiang soldiers were even more empty-handed?

When they asked such a question, Jingzhou Bing burst out laughing.

"Are those Lujiang soldiers worthy of us?" They cried out, "Don't you see what they are like in such a mess!" ”

In this steaming area, there were Xiliang soldiers passing by, looking at them, and smiling disdainfully.

There are also Lujiang soldiers passing by, and they won't even raise their heads.

They are also men, and when they were in the county, they also went around to eliminate bandits and give the people of Shishu a peaceful place.

They just don't have a commander like Lu Lian.

…… No.

There is no need for Lu Lian, as long as there is a general like Huang Zhong to lead them, their brothers and neighbors will not throw their bones in that wilderness, let the jackdaw cover their bodies, let the wild dogs and jackals run over, drive the jackdaws away, and then eat them all!

Liu Xun sat there without saying a word.

The surroundings were so lively, and people kept getting up and going to Huang Zhong's desk with wine cups.

Zhang Xiu praised Huang Zhong's exploits one after another, and Cai Mao also echoed, and this defeat seemed to have turned into a victory in the praise.

So the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

Zhang Xiu toasted Huang Zhong's wine, Zhang He toasted Huang Zhong's wine, a group of people Liu Xun didn't know toasted him, and even Liu Bei at the top of the head also valued Huang Zhong so much, seeing that he ate meat sweetly, he immediately ordered someone to bring the barbecue meat in front of him to General Huang to eat.

Until someone suddenly mentioned Lu Lian.

"Since Han Sheng is a blockbuster, we have to give General Lu a cup!"

So a group of people looked at Lu Lian again with joy.

Lu Lian seemed to be taken aback.

She didn't know what she was eating, her cheeks were full, and when she saw everyone's eyes, she immediately swallowed the bite in her mouth.

…… Then he choked and rolled his eyes.

General Xiao Lu, who was rolling his eyes, reluctantly spoke in a sullen voice, "Respect...... Respect me...... Do what? ”

"Our Hanging Fish General's skill of matching people is unparalleled in the world!" Liu Yan smiled and said, "If there is no general, how can Hansheng be today?" ”

She quickly waved her hand.

"I don't know physiognomy," she said, "and heroes don't need physiognomy." ”

Liu Xun lowered his head, as if he hadn't seen anything, hadn't heard anything, and the whole person was in a trance, as if cotton was sitting under his buttocks, and it was like a cloud.

His soldiers are almost dead, and the remaining more than a thousand people are not worth mentioning in the Yuan-Liu War, although there are constantly people talking to him, but what is the meaning of those words of consolation to him?

On that day, he had prayed to the Eastern Prince, the Western Queen Mother, the Taishan Mansion, the ancestors of the Liu family, and all the gods he knew or didn't know, he didn't want anything, he just wanted to go back to Anhui City.

He wants to return to his rich and deep mansion, he can be a county guard, of course, if Liu Bei doesn't like him, it's nothing to demote him to a county order, and it's nothing to demote him to a white coat.

In Wancheng, he bought a good business, and he married many in-laws for his children, even if he was dressed in white, he could live well.

Even Liu Bei took away his family property and only gave him two acres of land to live, and it was nothing, besides, Liu Bei was generous and would never treat him like this.

So many sons of Lujiang were buried here by him, and he can still raise a few yellow dogs, and go out to hunt with his son in the morning!

Liu Xun drank a glass of wine and poured another glass.

The hot wine fell into his belly, and he felt his body lighter, as if he had returned to Lujiang.

The cup was empty, and he was about to get the spoon when someone picked it up for him and added a spoonful of wine to his cup.

"Brother Zitai...... Alas...... Drinking hurts your body......"

Liu Xun squinted his eyes and raised his head, trying to see the person in front of him clearly.

This person is from Liu Bei's side, he is not familiar with it, and he probably came to comfort him with a courtesy.

Liu Xun's head swayed, and he also politely wanted to owe himself and respond to this person's comfort.

But the man went on and on, and his words gradually changed.

"Since the beginning of the year, General Lu has fought countless battles with Yuan Shaojun, and she doesn't know what the Jizhou army is? If she could give you a word of advice......

"I heard about her in Lujiang, but I didn't expect Brother Tai to come to help, and she is still like this......

"Alas, she is a famous general, and it is common sense to be rebellious, but it's a pity that those Lujiang children ......"

Liu Xun's wine woke up, and he looked this person up and down.

Chapter 499

Liu Xun is a very arrogant and arrogant person, so he has always held a grudge against Lu Lian, which is not bad at all.

At that time, he always felt that Lu Lian "just" could fight, what was the big deal about being able to fight?

This is not only his own idea, in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, except for the limited years of war, most of the time, those military generals who were born in a humble background and can fight well are in the miserable wind and rain, winter to spring, guarding the territory for the imperial court.

When eunuchs, relatives, and scholars compete for power and fight fiercely, no one will look at those generals.

No matter how fierce the battle of the nobles is, the soldiers at the border pass will always be silently guarding the territory of the Han Dynasty, killing the Huns, as well as Wuhuan, and Xianbei, those alien races are like wild grass that cannot be burned by wildfire, wave down, wave after wave.

Therefore, whether it is Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu or Zhang Liao, they are all used to spending year after year in the war.

No one feels that they owe them anything, military merits can be crowned marquis, if they win a battle, the court will also give money to the title, isn't this enough?

- As for what kind of title to rise to in order to compete with these nobles from families, it is really too much to think about.

Lao Ge is Lao Ge, and he is only Lao Ge all his life, and it is difficult for them to get a position as a county guard, and it is even more difficult for them to really enter the imperial court.

But there is hope for their children and grandchildren! As long as the children and grandchildren start to study the scriptures while taking the title, brush up on their good reputation, and interact with the scholars more and support each other, this is still possible! Most of the founding feats have been passed down in this way!

Liu Xun had always thought so, so he despised Lu Lian's exploits and was angry about her offense.

But after that war, something changed.

Pairs of eyes were looking at him.

During the day, they followed the team in silence, and from time to time they would look at the commander who was sitting in the chariot.
