The next morning.

The morning light is still lingering in the sky, and the warm sun has dispelled the coldness of the night. Visible from far and near, curls of green smoke rise up and gather together in the sky, like clouds.

It seemed like it was another calm and peaceful morning.

However, if someone looks closely, they will find that the place where the green smoke rises is a camp. The smoke is not the smoke that symbolizes peace, but the smoke rising from the broken parts of the camp wall, which is the trace left by the rocket.

.

Apparently, a fierce battle had just occurred here.

Looking at the ruins of the ruins, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, looked livid. For him, last night and this morning were one of the saddest episodes in his life. The former one probably dates back to General He Jin

The moment he was killed; further ahead, it was the Yellow Turban Rebellion...

A series of thrilling tragic events began in the afternoon.

First, Han Hao disobeyed his orders, and then his beloved son Wang Yu came to ask for a fight. After a confused shouting, the situation got out of control.

After his son crossed the river, Han Hao returned to the camp, which was completely different from what Wang Kuang had expected.

Before he could figure out the cause and effect, Wang Lang, the commander of the private soldiers, appeared and brought bad news: the young master randomly picked a few soldiers and rushed across the river. Looking at the posture, he looked like he was riding a horse alone.

mean.

Wang Kuang was immediately confused.

Before the military meeting, he would have slapped anyone who dared to spread rumors in front of him like this. But now, thinking about Wang Yu's impassioned appearance at the military meeting, it is really hard to talk about this matter.

However, he was still hesitating. He knew only too well how much talent Wang Yu had.

Taking the most basic equestrian skills as an example, Wang Yu could barely ride on his horse without falling off. Want to rush into the formation? It's more like walking. Besides, even if his eloquence suddenly improved, he still wouldn't be able to convince those soldiers.

Are you going to die with him?

Then, the general patrolling the camp arrived again.

The news this time is strictly good news: Wang Yu restrained a frightened horse in the camp, showing off his superb skills and equestrian skills...

However, combined with the previous news, the good thing also turned bad.

Wang Kuang couldn't sit still at all.

A cowardly son is certainly not a good son, but a son whose temperament changes drastically and becomes almost like a lunatic or a desperado is also not a good son.

He sent out all the scouts under his command, but still not satisfied, he mobilized all the cavalry and expanded the search net to the limit, hoping to find Wang Yu back.

The hard work soon paid off, although the harvest was somewhat different from what Wang Kuang had expected. The few soldiers left behind by Wang Yu came back, bringing even more terrifying news: Wang Yu only brought one soldier.

Head to the Heyin camp!

Wang Kuang's eyes immediately went dark.

No matter how bad the son is, having a son is better than not having one at all. Now it's all over. Two people? I'm afraid they can't even see the shadow of the enemy camp, and they will be chopped into meat paste.

Wang Kuang tried his best to suppress the idea of ​​mobilizing the entire army and fighting for his life. He knew that even if he did not die himself, the soldiers of Hanoi County would not follow him to death.

Seeing that it was getting late, he sadly ordered the ranger scouts outside to withdraw.

Even so, tragedies continued to happen. Whether they lost their way or became deserters, dozens of cavalry did not return, including county soldiers and private soldiers.

With white hair and black hair, King Qin's battle situation is also bleak, and Lao Wang Kuang can't sleep at night. If his old friend hadn't always been by his side to comfort him, it's hard to say what he would have done.

Then, the situation became increasingly weird.

Near morning, a group of scouts who had been regarded as deserters came back. They were private soldiers of the Wang family. They brought back news that shocked Wang Kuang.

They lost their way in the dark night, and when they finally found their way, they found themselves near Mengjin Ferry. At Xiaopingjin Ferry not far away, a large group of Xiliang troops were crossing the river on the ice!

However, the Mengjin Military Camp, which was very close at hand, was dark without any lights, and it seemed that he was completely unaware of it!

No matter how bad he was at being a man of power, Wang Kuang understood how serious the situation was.

Han Hao was also a veteran general who was familiar with the art of war. He chose a strategic location for his camp, so he could not possibly know anything about the movements of the Xiliang army. The reason for holding back his troops could only be...

Without the assistance of friendly forces, Wang Kuang Heyang's Hanoi soldiers and horses will soon face a two-pronged attack. The strength of any one of them is superior to the Hanoi army.

The statement that the situation is serious is too optimistic. To be precise, catastrophe is just around the corner!

Blocking the news, reorganizing the army, and preparing for war, Wang Kuang, determined to die, began to organize defenses.

And Zhang Ji was much more fierce than Wang Yu expected.

Wang Yu didn't know that due to the limitations of communication methods, it was difficult for two groups of soldiers and horses to arrive at the same time in this era of separate attacks. Usually, whichever group of soldiers and horses arrived first would attack first. Anyway, the reinforcements would arrive at about the same time.

Arrive there, attack first, and have the effect of a surprise attack.

Because Wang Kuang blocked the news, the county soldiers were not prepared for the surprise attack from the west, and they were shaken for a time. After Zhang Ji discovered the fighter plane, he decisively put the main force into the attack, and the Hanoi army's front suddenly became precarious.

Wang Kuang had no choice but to put his reserve troops into the battlefield, which he originally planned to use to resist Niu Fu's troops. But if Zhang Ji defeated the county troops, without Niu Fu coming, the Hanoi army would have been finished.

I can only treat the pain in my head and feet.

Fortunately, everything turned out well, and soon, a turning point appeared.

The power of the five hundred strong crossbows in a defensive battle was astonishing. Seeing that the surprise attack turned into a critical battle, but Niu Fu's reinforcements were delayed, Zhang Ji decisively withdrew his troops.

Wang Kuang was worried about Niu Fu's troops and did not dare to pursue him, so the surprise battle came to an end.

The enemy was temporarily repulsed, but Wang Kuang knew that the Hanoi army was in a dead end. Unless it withdrew immediately, the only outcome would be the annihilation of the entire army.

Wang Kuang was very unwilling. It was clear that Luoyang had been surrounded by the coalition forces. He only needed to launch a general attack to kill the national traitors and help the court. How could he fall short here?

However, facing the cruel war situation, he was helpless.

After Shicai's hard fighting, the fighting spirit and morale of the county soldiers have been greatly weakened. Although the enemy has become exhausted, Zhang Ji's army has a higher proportion of cavalry and has an advantage in field battles. More importantly, Zhang Ji has reinforcements, and Wang

Kuang is alone and helpless.

Even if he wanted to retreat, it would not be that easy. Zhang Ji just stopped the attack and did not retreat far. He was still waiting for Niu Fu. If the Hanoi army wanted to retreat, he would definitely catch up and bite him.

The Hanoi army seemed to have only two choices: waiting to die or fleeing.

Wang Kuang looked back at his old friend and said dejectedly: "Brother Bozhe, it was my younger brother who harmed you. If it wasn't for my younger brother who stopped you, you should be sitting high in Luoyang City now, being treated politely. How could you be in such a mess? Why not send an envoy to see you?

Zhang Ji made it known to Brother Bojie that he was a good brother. Dong thief valued the reputation of Brother Bojie and called him repeatedly, thinking that Zhang Ji also knew about it and would not harm each other, so..."

The old man surnamed Cai was displeased: "What are you talking about on official days? Is it possible that I am one of those people who wants to follow people's influence? Regardless of the purpose of Dong Zhuo's repeated summons, you know what kind of person I am. Could it be that I went to Luoyang for the sake of glory and wealth?"

What? I just have an unfulfilled wish and want to end it in my dying years. How can I abandon my friends in times of crisis?"

"How come I don't know that Brother Bojie came to Beijing to rebuild the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, but Brother Bojie and his niece..."

"There is no need to mention the matter of sending envoys." The old man said decisively: "Yan'er is my daughter, even if something unexpected happens, it is fate, so I can't blame you. On the other hand, Yu'er, it is a pity..."

He sighed and said: "I heard you tell me earlier about how unbearable Yu'er was, and all the marriage talks in the early years were abandoned. But in my opinion, although Yu'er is a bit reckless, he is still a hero, even if Yan'er never wants to

Being close to a warrior means that this matter can be discussed in the long term. In fact, when he made an impassioned speech yesterday, I was also heartbroken by him. Such a good boy, why do you..."

He misunderstood and thought that Wang Kuang broke off the engagement because he was ashamed, which made Wang Yu so angry that he ran away to fight for his life.

Wang Kuang couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Bozhe, you misunderstood. Just before yesterday's military meeting..." He first prepared a description of the previous events, and then spread his hands and said: "My little brother is not a person who belittles himself or seeks perfection. It turns out that if Yu'er

Even if I have half the spirit of yesterday, I will definitely not be able to... Sigh."

"A sudden enlightenment?" The old man was amazed: "Such a strange thing really exists in the world!"

"Strange things may not necessarily be good things." Wang Kuang sighed: "If Yu'er is still the same as before, at least my little brother's hair will not turn gray..."

"Report..." Before he could finish his sentence, another announcement came from outside, the sound was shrill and thrilling.

Lao Wang Kuang's heart skipped a beat and his body started to shake. He had been stimulated too much in the past two days and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"...What's the matter?" He managed to calm down, and he was ready to face a bleak life. At most...it would be Niu Fu who came to kill him, so what should he be afraid of? A true man serves his country and will die!

"Report to my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord is back!" the spy said out of breath.

The consequences of Niu Fujun's appearance are serious, but reasonable; the reappearance of Prince Wang is truly bizarre!

Even if he just crossed the river to find a place to hide for one night, he would not be able to come back intact. The Xiliang Army's ranger sentries were powerful killers on bone-chilling winter nights, enough to easily kill a young man.

!

"What!?" Even the soldiers know something, how can the general Wang Kuang not know it?

Surprise, doubt, hesitation, fear, countless emotions surged in his heart. In the end, the affection between father and son prevailed, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Yu, where is Yu'er now?"

"Young master, please plead guilty outside the tent."

"It's fine, it's fine. What's the crime worth asking for? Hurry, let the young master come in!" The joy of regaining something made Wang Kuang feel like he was reborn. He said he wanted his son to come in, but his steps had already taken a step forward.

He opened it and went out of the tent to welcome him.

Looking at Wang Kuang who came out quickly, Wang Yu felt warm in his heart. Although his father came a little unexpectedly, and as a prince, he also had many shortcomings, but his feelings for him were not adulterated at all.

.Although he is in a different body and soul, the family relationship between father and son cannot be erased after all.

However, if he had to perform a full set of acting, he just needed the last push to gain recognition and get the right to direct. Wang Yu had no time to think too much and followed the original plan and bowed deeply to the ground: "My child is not good at studying.

You have disgraced your mission, please punish me father." His tone was full of self-blame and regret.

"Having such courage is already amazing. As a father..." Wang Kuang was already grateful to God when he saw his beloved son. How could he feel any caress?

What's more, if they weren't looking for Wang Yu, the scouts wouldn't have discovered Zhang Jijun's whereabouts. Maybe the Hanoi army would have collapsed in the first wave of raids. This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
To be continued...
