Xun Chen turned his head slightly and glanced in that direction.

He wore no helmet, and his hair was tied in a bun, and the crown was so light that the white jade cicada was almost transparent, and shimmered in the sunlight.

This handsome-faced young strategist suddenly spoke, not to Yuan Shao or the herald, but to his personal entourage.

"Change to a few more majestic drummers."

"Yes!"

The drums are majestic and mighty, with the momentum of Mount Tai's overwhelming top, rolling towards the battlefield.

So no one paid attention to the fate of the punished soldiers.

The sun rose from the beginning to the heavens, and then slowly sank again.

The Jizhou army finally retreated slowly, gave way to this battlefield, and took some of the wounded who were closer to them, and by the way, mended the wounded who did not belong to them.

They come like the tide of the sea, and they go back like the same magnificence.

There is Mingjin, there is the palace, and the soldiers hold knives when they retreat step by step, to prevent the red-eyed one on the opposite side from rushing up, and stabbing themselves before leaving. Then there will be a sound of bowstrings tightening in both camps.

The distance is widened, and it is time for the archers to work, this wave of retreat can block the attempt of the opposite side to pretend to retreat and rush up suddenly, and it is not a loss to advance, and it belongs to the category of not shooting in vain and not shooting.

After a few waves of arrows, the two sides retreated to 300 paces away, and the front army had to continue to be vigilant, and some people could already come out from behind, led by soldiers, to clean up the battlefield briefly.

The battlefield after fighting with Yuan Shao is not easy to clean, because here, "people" are suddenly no longer "people", and "corpses" are no longer "corpses", but have become an extremely ordinary resource.

A family of three generations is usually five to ten people, including three to five men in the prime of life.

Five households are neighbors, and five neighbors are miles, that is to say, one mile can produce a hundred strong men.

Five miles is a township, and a township can produce 600 strong men.

Under the recruitment or conscription of officials, they left their hometowns and traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to this strange land, where they fought this battle with strange people.

This is not even a real decisive battle, just a contest and a test between the commanders of the two sides.

About 10,000 corpses were thrown on the battlefield, more people in Jizhou, six or seven thousand, and fewer people in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, three or four thousand.

The man stepped on it, and with great difficulty pulled his foot out of the corpse-strewn wilderness, his shoes must be of good quality, or he might have to bend down again and pull his straw sandals out of the indistinguishable mass of flesh and blood.

"He deserves to be a general!" Some people were very excited, and their voices were raised, "This battle made Yuan Shao lose his armor, and our army has also gained a lot!" ”

"If Yuan Shao attacks back and forth like this a few more times, I'm afraid he won't roll up the flag and escape!"

"With the wisdom of a general, how can Yuan rebel flee back to Jizhou! We're going to—"

"My lord! Lord! Although the general is clean and economical, he should also reward the three armies and boost morale! ”

"I think when this battle is over, we can present it to the court!"

Lu Hangyu listened to the noise in his ears, but his eyes were always on the battlefield.

There are sparkling lights rising from the wilderness.

At first, there were only one or two o'clock, and gradually more and more, like the stars falling and swaying in the sky in a winter night.

It was just flaming torches, and instead of the ghosts who were about to travel far away, they walked in the lifeless wasteland.

"General?"

She quickly withdrew her gaze.

Zhang Liao came on horseback.

There were a few abrasions on his face, which were not serious, and he didn't care about it himself, "Today, I and General Zilong are fighting separately, whose military merits are higher?" ”

"No one is enough," she laughed, "and none of you have lured Yuan Shao's horse armor out. ”

When the young general heard this, he lowered his head a little ashamedly, and if his ears were more flexible, he probably drooped together.

She quickly comforted him, "I'm joking with you." ”

"I see that Yuan Shao's use of troops today is very different from the past," Zhang Liao said, "There must be a wise person to advise him, so he is so cautious." ”

She suddenly remembered the beautiful bad bamboo shoot.

"There's always a chance we'll catch him and beat him up," she said, "and we'll go back to camp and review it first, and then we'll make a decision." ”

Zhang Liao was very happy when he heard this, stretched out his hand and grabbed the mount he was leading over, waited for her to get on the horse, and then returned to the camp together.

She got on the horse, and the surrounding commanders, bannermen, and soldiers, as well as the strategists and other people from the middle military camp, all turned over and got on the horse together.

A large crowd of people surrounded her.

Those who were noble-born, young and handsome, intelligent and erudite, and loyal, were always paying attention to her expressions and actions.

She smiled slightly, pinched the horse's belly, and the horse ran.

There were flag bearers in front, so her big banner and the flag full of official positions and titles fluttered gently in the night.

When the soldiers on the road heard the sound of horses' hooves and saw this majestic group of men and horses, they immediately respectfully awayed the way and waited with bated breath for the general to pass by.

- Who dares to be disrespectful to her?

- Look at the battlefield, that is her exploits, her proof!

It is impossible to reward the three armies.

To the east is the base camp of the lord, which was isolated by Yuan Shao's heavy troops;

To the west are the sparsely fought Yuzhou and Gyeonggi, and it is good for the people to be self-sufficient and not beg for food;

Liu Biao and Liu Xun in the south were moved by the rumors spread by Yuan Shao, and there was grain and grass, but he was unwilling to risk death under Yuan Shao's pressure to send it here.

So we have to save a little bit, and a little more.

Food must be saved, and military supplies must also be saved, for example, when the enemy troops have retreated at dusk, there will be a rain of arrows here, and after returning home, it has been tactfully criticized by the quartermaster.

The arrows, which are also shot one by one, are all used up, what should the archers do? Can you conjure up 100,000 arrows out of thin air?

Lu Hangyu, who was being trained while eating, heard this, and his two eyes subconsciously ran to Zhuge Liang's position.

There was no one in that position.

Her face changed, "Where's the little gentleman?!" ”

"The general has just been distracted," said Xiao Wu who gave her the soup, "Little Mr. went to the Hook and Sickle Camp to watch the soldier training." ”

The lord looked at her a little strangely.

"Fighting against Yuan Shao today, what is the general's trouble?"

…… It's weird to be called so by the lord.

"It's tricky," she said frankly, "I know he's going to lose, but I don't know how." ”

This brainless remark made Liu Bei laugh.

What is the reason for not knowing how to defeat him, but knowing that he will be defeated?

That's what it is...... The three-year-old child had also heard of the "Battle of Guandu" and knew that Cao Sheng and Yuan were defeated, but she didn't know how this battle was fought.

Even if she knew more about it, it was useless.

Because there will not be a Xu You who is small with her, and will suddenly run to her during the big war.

Without Xu You, she wouldn't know where Yuan Shao was stockpiling grain, and she couldn't quietly approach the grain storage field under the banner of Xu You without being alerted by the soldiers.

Of course, she didn't know that Cao Cao had already exchanged heads with Yuan Shao before burning the black nest with a fire, and he was even unable to sustain himself, but as long as he had a way to go, he might not take the risk of taking this step.

Therefore, some battles are amazing to posterity, but for the parties involved, it may be similar to gambling on their lives.

Lu Hangyu is not good at gambling, so he also fell into the dilemma of bloodletting with Yuan Shao.

At present, the battle loss rate is 1 to 2, and she is leading for the time being.

But she really drove Yuan Shao back to Hebei at the cost of draining the blood of these tens of thousands of troops, and she didn't have the face to see Jiangdong's father again.

Lu Hangyu was in a daze holding the rice bowl, and the lord didn't say a word when he saw it, and he was very sympathetic to pick up a plate of meat that he had not touched with chopsticks and put it in front of her.

Although the military rations have to be calculated, today is considered a victory, and the soldiers still have broth to drink.

Sima Yi still ate better than others, and he didn't go to the Chinese military tent, but in his tent while looking at the information collected on the battlefield, he dismantled a fat and tender roasted quail.

When fighting, it is not only the commander's own banner that has a surname, but also the generals and captains of the battalions below also have their own flags, which is convenient for the commander to follow the map one by one.

It's like that on my side, and it's the same on the other side. Yuan Shao's 100,000 army was naturally not led by himself, and there were many generals below who commanded his battalion of soldiers and horses.

Sima Yi watched and ate while letting the servant turn the page for him.

As I ate, I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"The previous one, the previous one," he said, "I'll look at it again." ”

The servant hurriedly put down the previous piece of paper for him, which said that a battalion on the flank of the Jizhou Army hung a banner with the word "lead".

"That's it!" Sima Yi happily waved the quail leg in his hand, "It's in my hands again!" ”

Of course, this military general has not made any mistakes, and he has never made any enmity with him.

But so what?

In this war, there are very few warring parties who have grudges against each other.

Chapter 559

Sima Yi finished eating the roasted quail and drank a very light cup of hot tea.

After going out for so long, the tea cakes are almost used, although there are also merchants in the neighborhood who sell east and west, but few people sell tea cakes - after all, Liu Bei and the group of people under his command are mostly martial artists who do not pay much attention to the quality of life. Sima Yi occasionally met one or two tea merchants, and the quality of the tea cakes was not very good.

…… I heard that Don't drive Chen Qun has good tea cakes, not only good tea cakes, but also the skill of making tea and the taste of drinking tea, if he is also in the army, he may be able to ask for a piece of tea cake.

…… But Sima Yi also heard that Chen Qun was also a young scholar who insisted on never marrying, and he looked very good.

…… Forget it, don't ask for it.

After he had eaten this sumptuous meal, he got up and ordered the servants to bring him a large coat, and went out dressed warmly.

It was already dark, but there was still some time before the time of the war, so it was very lively both inside and outside Zhecheng and inside and outside the barracks.

Some people are carrying supplies, some are treating the wounded, some are counting the trophies, some are registering the badges of fallen soldiers one by one, and they are working overtime to make adjustments from battalion to team.
