This is a duel between counselors. Two wise men who are strategizing put on a wonderful performance in the air! It's wonderful, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, broken limbs...are piled up all over Sishui Pass! Everywhere.
They are all red, or the color of blood!
This is the battle of counselors! There is no passion between generals, no life-fighting between them, but... what they decide is not their own lives, what they decide is the lives of countless people! Carrying thousands of lives,
The responsibility is great! No one dares to make a wrong step!
Li Ru and Li Wenyou gathered more than 80,000 Xiliang knights and marched outside the Sishui Pass! He abandoned the dangerous pass like a natural pass! He dismissed it! It’s not that he really had the confidence to defeat the alliance army.
But he also has his own reasons!
According to Luoyang News, Dong Zhuo's mood has been very unstable recently, and he has almost reached a point of collapse. The man who was once as strong as steel has now become very fragile, suspicious, murderous, and irritable... all of which show his attitude toward life.
Infinitely disappointed!
He is tired, tired of everything, and he is on the way to seek relief! Only Li Wenyou can stabilize him! Only he can restore Dong Zhuo's hope in life! Li Ru doesn't want his many years of hard work to be in vain
, so he needs to resolve the battle as soon as possible, return to Dong Zhuo, stabilize him, and continue to walk on his own path, even if that path is really difficult!
Li Ru paced back and forth in the tent of the military camp. A moth flew around beside the candle on the table. The tent flickered from darkness to light. The soldier standing guard at the entrance of the tent sighed. He knew that the people in the tent must be
He was troubled by something, but at the same time he also understood how a little guy like him could think about a talented counselor?
At this time, the curtain flag was lifted, and Li Wenyou walked out from inside. The white Confucian shirt he wore was as white as snow under the moonlight. His face had no expression, and he seemed to be hesitating about something.
It seems that he has made up his mind.
He stood like this for a long time, and the soldiers next to him had no choice but to stand with him. For a moment, the sky and the earth seemed infinitely broad. Stars were scattered in the black night sky, like pearls scattered on the black satin. Li
Ru began to recall what happened a few days ago...
There are so many heroes in the world? I am impatient after all! The other party has a person who is not inferior to me, commanding and controlling everything in an orderly manner. This person... is not Li Xiaoxian! He can feel it! That kind of darkness
The feeling inside is really wonderful!
You are such a good opponent! But I don’t have so much time to compete with you! What a pity! What a pity! Li Ru squinted his eyes, his skinny figure, his snow-white Confucian shirt, and the breeze blew, and he clenched his fist tightly!
He decided to make a desperate move!
Are you ready for the opponent on the opposite side? I - Li Wenyou is here! Fight! Prove your existence, and it also proves that I still need to exist! I am Li Ru, a proud scholar from a poor family!
"Dong dong dong!" The three-way drum sounded and the tent was raised. In the middle of the night, Li Ru stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, waiting for the arrival of the generals. His thin face and slender eyes made him look like
The spooky ghost!
"Mr. Wen first! Everyone is here!" Hu Wencai's pride never existed in front of Li Ru. He knew what kind of person the person in front of him was. He was extremely talented and outstanding, and there was no need for any kind words.
It won’t feel out of place when used on him!
It was this man who personally taught him how to march and fight, and trained him, a bandit who had no dignity before, into a famous general! Who wouldn't give a thumbs up when hearing Hu Wencai's name?
"Very good!", a soft praise, the uncontrollable joy in Hu Wencai's heart! Joy. Yes, he worked hard to do his best, just to say to others: I, the person Hu Wencai admires most is Mr. Wen Xian
!He gave me a second life!
Li Ru turned around and said in a very soft voice with some hoarseness: "I don't have much time. The situation in Luoyang City needs to be stabilized, so I need to resolve the battle as soon as possible! But... the opponent is a powerful person! I
Somewhat powerless..."
"Sir!" Hu Zhen held up her hands and stared at Li Ru: "Do you need me to do anything?"
"Yes...I need you to do something! I can tell you without hesitation that everyone here is the only one qualified to complete this matter! But this matter will...kill you! I don't want to lie.
you!
You make your own decision! After all, you are one of the four generals in the Xiliang Army, and perhaps the best one. Letting you do this is really a loss for me. Even if I win and lose you, someone
In this sense, I have also failed!" Li Ru sighed and said;
Hu Wencai had a proud smile on his lips. He clenched his fist with his right hand and beat his chest, making a muffled sound. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I am proud to be recognized by you! I am willing to give everything for this!"
You also know that I am a loner, and I only have this pride left! Then... let me go with the pride and glory of victory!"
Li Ru looked at Hu Wencai blankly, patted his shoulder gently, and turned around: "Wencai... I'm sorry! It's because I'm not capable!"
The bitterness in the corners of her eyes was caught by Hu Zhen, who cracked her mouth and said with a smile: "Hahaha! Isn't there still a chance to survive in this life of nine deaths? I, Hu Wencai, have lived a damn wonderful life! Hahaha! If this time I
Wouldn't it make me more proud to be alive? Only in this way will I have no regrets!"
"..." Li Ru stood beside the map and told his strategy. At the end, he stared at everyone seriously: "That's all! Do you remember everything?"
"Remember!", everyone responded sonorously! For Hu Wencai's righteousness and Li Wenyou's hard work! They cannot afford to fail!
"There is only one chance! Only one chance! Since you have chosen to believe me! Then - don't question my choice!" Li Ru hissed: "This battle! It is not only about our misfortunes and honors! It is also about our happiness and honor!
Our life and death! You! Are all ready for me..."
Also in the middle of the night, the main tent of the Allied Army's central army coughed heartbreakingly, making people feel a sense of heartache. His complexion was sallow and even dark and sickly. This was Xi Zhicai.
A seriously ill man;
"Zhicai...are you okay?" Young Master Yuan looked at Xi Zhicai worriedly, and gently stroked his back to make him feel better: "Even if we can't...win, it doesn't matter.
This kind of thing doesn't matter to me, you...don't let anything happen to you!
Xiaoxian is now in the enemy camp. I don’t know how my life is going. You... Without you, I really don’t know how I should take the next journey! Don’t hold on. Rest peacefully, right?
Listen to me! Huh?"
Xi Zhicai struggled to support his body. His sunken eye sockets showed his moved figure, and his chapped lips reluctantly said: "Don't worry, Lord! I can't fall yet, I am Xi Zhicai! Someone who can solve your problems."
People! Hehehe..."
"Rest! Don't work so hard anymore!" Yuan Shu patted Xi Zhicai's back sentimentally: "I'm begging you! Okay?"
A man dies for a confidant, and a woman dies for a woman who pleases her. That's it! Xi Zhicai closed his eyes slightly: "My lord... Li Ru is a formidable opponent and cannot slack off! If I slack off, then we will
In a dangerous situation! I can’t put you in danger! Absolutely not!”
"Hey... you are all like this... I can't figure out why you want to help me like this. I don't have any ambitions. This is the truth! I just thought, well, in Xiaoxian's words, it's Dese
Let's live a life of freedom and freedom, just like I used to do, but the high expectations you have for me make me suffocated!" Yuan Shu sighed;
Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "That's because you can do better! You have status and the conditions to move up. The most important thing is your kindness to us! You are not destined to be that kind of hero, we have known this for a long time
,Whether it is Li Xiaoxian or Mao Xiaoxian! We all know it!
However, you are like a towering tree, and we are all kinds of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards living below. Only under your protection can we escape the wind and rain. We are not strong and can only rely on the strong.
Even if you are not a strong person, we can help you!"
"Strong? I'm just a coward! A simple-minded, arrogant...waste!" Yuan Shu laughed at himself: "So, you don't have to work so hard! Zhicai, listen to me, you still
Take good care of your health, and I will find you the best doctor in the world when you return to Nanyang!"
"You are a tolerant and strong person, a good lord! You are not a waste! At least with our help, you can become a hero! Cough cough cough cough..." Xi Zhicai said firmly;
"Hey... no matter how much I try to persuade you, you won't rest obediently. You are such a stubborn person!" Young Master Yuan found that he had become a lot more sentimental. This was really not a good change! What he liked was happiness;
"Lord! Please help me get the map closer! I want to take a look again... I always feel something bad in my heart!" Yuan Shu took the map off the shelf and spread it out in Xi Zhicai's tired voice.
Go to Xi Zhicai and hold an oil lamp in your hand to illuminate Xi Zhicai so that he can see more clearly;
The sun has just emerged from behind the gray mountain tops. The warmth of its first few rays of light communicates with the coolness of the fading night, making people feel a sweet tiredness. But these tiredness does not belong to the soldiers! They
A tense gathering is underway!
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is attacking! The leader is—Xiliang General Hu Wencai! A man who is cunning and fierce!
"Hahaha! The sun is shining on your butts! You bastards of the Alliance Army! Are you ready for the arrival of the uncle?" With an extremely arrogant voice, Hu Wencai immediately stood up;
Xi Zhicai reluctantly came to the camp gate with Yuan Shu's support. His eyes kept looking at the Xiliang army who was shouting outside the military camp. There were more than 10,000 people in total. Are they here to invite a fight? Or what?
"Mr. Zhicai! What should we do now?" The hoarse voice had a hint of special personality charm. The stocky bearded man came and squinted his small eyes. Xi Zhicai smiled back. Frankly speaking, this man
Far better than Young Master Yuan, because he is Cao Cao!
"It's not just once or twice that the Xiliang Army takes the initiative! What's so strange? How about I go out and fight with him for a while? What else can I say if I can take action?" Gongsun Zan, the White Horse General, this White Horse Controller, is indeed -
—A master who can take action and try not to make any noise;
But at this time, one sentence changed the whole situation. Hu Wencai laughed and said: "Your grain and grass should have been transported here, right? Let me guess which route you took? Ah la la! You can provide grain and grass the fastest and have the ability.
It's probably Hanzhoumu, right? Then - the Yellow River turns to Si River? It's an interesting guess, right? Let's go, kids!"
"Our weakness has finally been penetrated by Li Ru!" Xi Zhicai felt a little bitter. These days he has been attracting Li Ru's attention and diverting his attention, but Li Ru is Li Ru, a dangerous poisonous snake. He is still keen.
I noticed it!
"Food and grass must not be lost, otherwise the army of more than 200,000 people will fall apart! Send troops! They must be destroyed!" Cao Cao clenched his fists, somewhat unwillingly. He did not understand why so many talented and capable people did not
Go and serve this country. Instead, it is the country of cholera!
"Cough cough cough..." Xi Zhicai coughed violently, stretched out his hand and said: "Something is wrong! Something is wrong... If they really find out about this and know the delivery date of our grain and grass, they will definitely
They won't say it directly in front of us, they are tempting us to go there! This is a conspiracy!"
"But our food and grass have really been transported here! It is estimated that they will be transported to the camp under darkness in the evening! Even if it is a conspiracy, we have to take advantage of it!" Sun Jian said in a deep voice: "We must go, we don't want to
No choice!”
"No! We can attack their camp! Attack Sishui Pass! Surround Wei and rescue Zhao!" Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice! Very determined;
Food and grass are related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Without food and grass, these people will starve, and no one dares to take this risk! As Sun Jian said, even if it is a conspiracy, they have to get into it! They are not allowed to make a choice.
!
Looking at the people who were chasing away, Xi Zhicai coughed more violently, grabbed Yuan Shu's hand tightly, and said: "My lord, lead your troops quickly... follow them, but don't take the initiative to attack, wait for the most dangerous situation."
The moment is..."
"Zhicai? Zhicai? Zhicai? Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!" Yuan Shu yelled at a loss, and Xi Zhicai finally couldn't hold on anymore and fainted;
Bao Xin, Han Fu, Er Kong, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao all decided to pursue Hu Wencai, but Ma Teng and Cao Cao did not go. They decided to follow Yuan Shu. Facts have proved that their choice was correct!
"Rumble..." Water! There is huge water everywhere! Muddy water dragons are running from a distance! The Allied forces are covered by the water!
This was a conspiracy to lure the Allied forces into taking the bait. The dam Li Ru had been building for many days on the upper reaches of the Sishui River was now being dug up! Together with more than 10,000 people under Hu Wencai's command... they were all targets!
This is an indiscriminate attack!
Li Ru doesn't care too much. His current methods are really too cruel, and he even counts his own people! He is as cruel to his enemies as he is to his own people!
"Xi Zhicai... is right! We have been plotted!" A small hill was crowded with people. Cao Cao sighed and said: "Brother Gu has so many capable people! We are so envious! But
Now is not the time to be envious! It’s better to cut down the trees as soon as possible to save your own people!”
The Sishui River is not a big river, and the water flow is not abundant, so the damage caused is not too great. It is just that some people closest to it were unlucky and countless people drowned. This includes a large number of people.
Xiliang Army!
A wave of floods passed, and the entire plain was in a mess. The floods were not the last resort of the Xiliang army. The real attack was here! About 70,000 Xiliang cavalry were ready to attack, and their strong bows and crossbows were also attacked.
One up!
"Hua Xiong... go see if Hu Zhen... is still there!" Li Ru sighed. If Hu Wencai hadn't appeared, it is estimated that the alliance army would not have fallen into the trap so easily. Hu Wencai's existence itself was a
What a threat!
"Li Jue! Lead 30,000 troops! Kill everyone who is alive! Zhang Xiu! Come with me to resist the alliance army... There are still people who haven't fallen into the trap!" Li Wenyou abandoned his warmth in his cold voice.
The self has become that cold person;
"Nuo!" Li Jue handed over his hand and led the troops to separate. The ground was muddy, and the cavalry's mobility was also greatly restricted. This was just a limitation. The flood that dispersed could only cover the legs of the war horses.
It cannot constitute too strong an obstacle;
"What should we do now?" Yuan Shu asked in a low voice. He was not used to having no one around him to make decisions. Maybe this is dependence!
Ma Teng said: "Li Jue separated, probably to intercept and kill those who escaped, and Li Ru himself probably wanted to stop us! We also need to divide our troops and regroup our troops... Our losses are still high.
It’s not too heavy, probably...tens of thousands of people!”
Tens of thousands of people? Isn’t this too heavy? This has been calculated! If it weren’t for the problem of the flow of Si River, there might be more than this number... Compared with the army base of more than 200,000, these tens of thousands of people
The loss has already been traumatic, but at least the foundation has not been lost!
"Our total number of soldiers and horses is only 50,000, so we need to divide our troops?" Yuan Shu murmured, and Cao Cao nodded: "We must divide our troops, otherwise those who are scattered by the river will be the ones they slaughter.
Target!"
Yuan Shu nodded and said: "Okay! Then divide the troops! Meng De and I will go to attack Li Ru, and brother Shoucheng will intercept Li Jue. What do you think?"
"Very good!" Ma Teng nodded and led his Xiliang bearded soldiers to charge out. The horse's hoofs trampled a stream of water, which reflected colorful lights under the sun. These colorful lights did not look beautiful.
It's beautiful, but on the contrary, it's creepy...these colorful bridges are built on floating corpses!
"General Hu! General Hu! General Hu..." Hua Xiong galloped on the plain after the vast torrent and led hundreds of people to look for Hu Zhen anxiously. He shouted anxiously. That was one of the people he admired most.
He didn't want him to die here like this!
"Ah...cough cough cough!" Hu Wencai did not appear. He was a man who survived the impact of the water flow, a general of the Alliance Army! He was coughing, spitting out the water in his chest, and coming towards us.
The figure is like the Huaxiong Tower!
Bao Xin's younger brother - Bao Zhong! The appearance of Hua Xiong made him not surprised but happy! As long as he beheaded him, he would become famous! So he had been holding the sword across his chest, and his whole body suddenly jumped up.
