In just one night, tens of thousands of people could die in a place no bigger than a slap on the map. The horror of war is evident.
You know, there are no firearms in this era. Even generals who have understood the spirit of war have to personally use swords and halberds to harvest lives.
Du Quan looked at the yellow scarf warrior whose breathing was getting weaker, and an unknown fire surged in his heart——
What a thief!
Why do you want me to come to Bingzhou? !
Perhaps it was the light coming back, or maybe the yellow halo in the sky was still at work. The voice of the yellow scarf warrior, as thin as a mosquito, became clear again: "General... I entrust you with my urine..."
Before he could finish speaking, Du Quan choked with sobs and said, "Brother, you don't need to say anything. You protect me with your life. From now on, if I have glory and wealth, your whole family will have it too!"
"Xihe County, Shilou, Zheng Shuangjian."
As he finished speaking, the clenched hand slowly loosened.
Zhou Tian, who was in charge of the fight, felt his shoulders sink, and a trace of sadness flashed through his heart——
If they had no choice, who would be willing to leave the bright road and board the Yellow Turban Army, a ship that was bound to capsize.
You know, his initial starting point was as an officer and soldier. He originally wanted to defend the border and accumulate meritorious service for the Han Dynasty. What was the result?
There was a quarrel with Shangguan, and he was forced to have no choice but to simply obey his fate and become a big villain!
"While the two armies are resting, I will find a place to bury him."
Yaizi, a meal of kindness must be repaid, and Yaizi's resentment must be repaid, bloodthirsty and murderous, glaring with anger.
Zhou Tian vaguely saw a strange beast roaring behind his friend, with a face like a jackal and a body like a leopard.
The Han army also paid a heavy price. Just the elite thousand cavalry led by Lu Bu and Lu Li suffered no less than 400 casualties, let alone other troops. The casualties were insignificant.
The screams and wailing sounds were endless, and it was like a hellish scene.
At first, Lu Li wanted to use the few remaining yellow talismans on his body to save people, but along the way, he gave up this unrealistic idea.
Because all of them are seriously injured and only have one breath left. Who should be saved?
But when Lu Li approached the Chinese army camp, he heard laughter coming from inside.
In any case, the Han army did show great momentum in this battle. If the Taiping Dao Master had not shown his trump card in time and used thunder to divide the battlefield, and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao had joined forces, it would have been possible for them to take the general in the midst of thousands of troops. Level things.
In order to boost morale, generals must remain calm and composed. As for laughter, isn't it the best way to show off?
Lu Li, who returned from patrolling the camp, opened the curtain and walked in. The generals looked sideways and their laughter stopped. Some people couldn't help but praise: "General Lu is so brave when he first joins the army. He is really a god!"
"That's wrong." Someone waved his hand and said: "General Chen didn't know something. Meng Ming performed extraordinary feats when he attacked the Huns in the north..."
"My Lord, with Meng Ming, he is like a tiger with even more wings."
Amidst the compliments, Lu Li stepped forward to give Ding Yuan a military salute and observed carefully. His lord's face was filled with joy and his eyes were filled with satisfaction, as if he were looking at his own nephew.
Not to mention Lu Li himself, even Zhang Liao understood what his lord was planning.
As for Lu Bu, ever since he saw the scene of meeting in the backyard, he was sure that something good was about to happen.
At this time, Ding Yuan's hearty voice sounded: "Meng Ming, Fengxian, and Wen Yuan should take the lead in this battle."
Regardless of life or death, all soldiers participating in night battles have merit, but one fact cannot be ignored: in a battle, it is impossible for everyone to play the same role. There are always those who take the lead and those who follow. Yes, then it would obviously be unfair for everyone to receive the same reward for their achievements.
He dances freely and wildly, with unparalleled sharpness.
In Ding Yuan's eyes, satisfying the above sentence can be regarded as a first achievement——
Lu Li and Lu Bu led a lone army to advance in, and killed several thieves in succession. They frightened the enemies on the flanks and fled in disarray. They deserved this credit.
However, Zhang Liao rode alone on the savior and killed the enemy general with two men. He also had commanding skills. This time, he was listed as the top hero, and no one dared to question it.
After Lu Li heard this, he thought to himself: What is the use of this military merit? I'm afraid I will have multiple wives soon.
Hmm... Although it is very beautiful, it cannot be taken away. Rather than this, it would be better for nothing to happen.
reject?
Parents to enrich people.
As the king of a country, the emperor cannot make the decision about his own marriage, let alone other people's affairs. The great Han governs the country with filial piety, but who can bear the label of being unfilial?
What's more, Ding Gong showed his appreciation and promotion to him, and now he wants to betroth his only daughter to him. This is a great favor that cannot be repaid in ten lifetimes.
If refused...
There is no place within the four seas!
Disloyal, unjust, unfilial.
After some mental struggle, Lu Li couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so he simply suppressed his thoughts and said: "My lord, primary school Zhang Zhaochong is going to kill you..."
Hearing this, the smile on Ding Yuan's face became even bigger. He looked around and said with a smile: "Meng Ming knows how to fight. Not only is he brave enough to fight, but he is also good at commanding troops. Before he heard about any rewards, he was eager to ask for credit for his subordinates. Got it!"
"I have Meng Ming, it's like having an extra arm."
The words are full of appreciation.
When Lu Bu was promoted back then, it was just like this, right?
After thinking this, many generals looked up at Lu Li and saw that he was handsome and handsome. Moreover, his appearance became even more outstanding against the group of rough guys in the tent.
Another thought: the lord's only daughter is waiting in the boudoir.
Some thoughtful people had figured out the key and immediately laughed with the Lord.
Because, for the Lord, finding a good son-in-law is the first-class happy event in the world.
For a time, the atmosphere in the big tent was extremely peaceful, as if it were a completely different world from the outside world.
"Don't worry, Meng Ming. After the war, I will reward him based on his merits and promote him. Just let the primary school wait for news."
Lu Li cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Next, Ding Yuan stopped smiling and asked the generals, how many casualties were there among his soldiers?
The majority lost more than half of their troops (county soldiers), while the smaller ones lost eleven (wolf cavalry).
The county soldiers were responsible for stabilizing the flanks and should not have suffered such heavy casualties. However, this battle involved 450,000 soldiers and the scene was chaotic. In addition, the Chinese army had a thick formation and was composed of strong soldiers. The Yellow Turban Army collapsed. In a panic, he instinctively rushed to both sides to pick the weak ones.
However, in general, the morale of the Han army is still good, much better than that of the Yellow Turban thieves.
In this way, the generals discussed for a while in the Chinese army camp and initially decided on the strategy. Ding Yuan waved his hand and ordered the generals to return to their camps to inspect, comfort the wounded soldiers, and deal with important military matters.
However, when the generals agreed to retire, he looked at Lu Li, stroked his beard and said, "Meng Ming, please accompany me for a walk nearby."
"Got the order!"
Out of instinct, Lu Li responded solemnly.
Ding Yuan shook his head and said, "There's no need to be formal."
Not long after, under the teasing looks of Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, Lu Li followed his lord and slowly left the tent, as if on the execution ground.
