The three countries are very nuclear

Zhuge Liang and Guan Ping not only took advantage of this mental calculation and unintentional encounter, but also had more soldiers and horses than the opponent, and their soldiers were even more brave than the opponent.

When Guan Ping led his army out of the dark, although Yuan Shu's soldiers were taken aback, they did not panic.

But... those civilian husbands who escorted food, grass and luggage were different.

They were recruited forcibly, and there were already complaints in the army, but now they were suddenly attacked by the enemy, and when their lives were threatened, these civilian men hurriedly ran wildly, and didn't care about other things.

Therefore, this three or four thousand troops escorting food, grass and supplies were actually disrupted by their own people.

When Guan Ping led his army to kill, Yuan Jun was no longer able to resist.

Tonight's moon is very round and bright, which causes no difficulty in vision in night battles.

So Guan Ping, a clever little ghost, immediately set his sights on the leader of the enemy army, that is, the young man who called for retreat before.

"Thief, take your life!"

After yelling, Guan Ping galloped his horse, the long knife in his hand became sharper and sharper under the cold moonlight.

This indomitable momentum is very similar to his father Guan Yu.

Let's see if someone rushes into the formation first and beheads the enemy generals. As for the army under his command, he is under the command of A Liang.

"This damned vulgar martial artist... is really unlucky!"

Seeing that Guan Ping was targeting him, the young man immediately frowned, cursed in a low voice, and then ran away quickly.

He wanted to leave, but Guan Ping pursued him closely, swiping his saber and galloping his horse to continue charging.

The two chased and fled, and quickly left the battlefield.

But on the battlefield at this time, under the command of Zhuge Liang, the army has formed an overwhelming advantage.

It's just that they are still behind the enemy's rear, and it is not suitable to take prisoners. In addition, Zhuge Liang's purpose is only food and supplies, so he ordered the army to mainly expel them. This battle was won extremely easily.

But in just one hour, Yuan Shujun and ten thousand civilian husbands all fled away.

As for those who had no time to escape, they became corpses on the ground.

At the end of the battle, Zhuge Liang rode his horse to the front of the battle, but Zhao Tong had already led people to count the captured food, grass and luggage, and reported the detailed data to Zhuge Liang.

"General, the total amount of grain and grass here is 30 shi. Just now the general interrogated the prisoners and learned that these grains and grass were intended to be sent to Xiping for the use of the enemy general Lu Fengxian's [-] troops!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled, and then a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"It turned out that it was going to be given to Lu Fengxian...an order to take only [-] stones of grain and grass, and burn the rest, so act quickly!"

Zhao Tong was shocked and said: "General, there is so much food and grass that we can eat for more than a year. It is a waste of money to burn it so easily."

"I don't know that grain and grass are precious, but... can you take them all away?" Zhuge Liang said, "Now we are still behind the enemy, and with these grains, our army's marching speed will be greatly reduced. There is no reason to escape, and the food and grass will return to the bandit army at that time, it is better to burn them all to avoid future troubles."

Although the food is good, for Zhuge Liang's army at this time, too much is a burden, so it is better to give it up.

"This... the general obeys orders!"

After hearing Zhuge Liang's explanation, Zhao Tong immediately clasped his fists and said.

"Hurry up. This place is only tens of miles away from the front line. At most, the enemy army will get the news by tomorrow morning. Before that, we have to burn the food and grass and evacuate."

"I will understand at the end!"

After Commander Zhao was ordered to leave, Zhuge Liang looked around, but found no trace of Guan Ping.After ordering his soldiers to search around, they still found nothing.

"Tanzhi, why is he so reckless..."

In the darkness, the flames first appeared, and then rapidly expanded until they soared into the sky, and the food and grass were burning blazingly.

The fire lasted for more than an hour before it was completely extinguished, and hundreds of thousands of stones, grain, and grass were also reduced to ashes.

Just when Zhuge Liang had burned all the food and was about to leave with his army, Guan Ping came back.

Seeing his dusty and panting appearance, he imagined that he had gone through an extremely hard chase just now.

However, apart from being tired, he also had a smile on his face, holding a head in his hand, which belonged to the young man before.

"Kong Ming, this time someone is the leader!"

Guan Ping didn't even have time to get off his horse, so he threw the young man's head over.

Zhuge Liang looked down and saw that the young man's face was full of disbelief, as if he didn't believe that he would die at the hands of a vulgar martial artist.

"The first merit is indeed the first merit, but if you disobey the military order and chase after yourself, you will also be punished. A hundred army sticks are indispensable."

After only one glance at the head, Zhuge Liang said to Guan Ping.

Guan Ping yelled strangely: "No way, someone chased the dead and chased the north, beheaded the thief and returned it, it's fine if you don't show your merits, but you still have to be punished, I refuse to accept it!"

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "If you don't accept the war, you can go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Military Aircraft Office to impeach X, but now X is the chief general, how dare you disobey the military order?"

"This... so-and-so admits punishment, so-and-so admits punishment!"

After all, Guan Ping did not dare to disobey the military order, so he had to bow his head and say in desperation.

Only then did Zhuge Liang nod his head in satisfaction, then glanced at the head on the ground again, and asked, "You said that this person is the leader of the bandit, but I don't know his identity?"

"Just now he ran away from someone, so he didn't care about his identity, but he said his name is... Sima Zhongda."

Sima...

It sounds like the remnants of the Hanoi Sima family that the teacher dealt with back then.

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then led his army to leave quickly without further investigating the identity of this person.

……

Luoyang, Beimang Mountain.

Lin Chao stood with his hands behind his back on an unknown field, followed by Jia Xu.

In front of the two of them, there was a low new grave, with weeds swaying and blowing in the wind.

It was the grass growing and the warbler flying in February, but at this moment, Beiman Mountain looked so cold.

The two just watched with solemn expressions, neither of them spoke.

As for the new tomb in front of him, it was poor and simple. Apart from some offerings in front of the tomb, it didn't even have a stele.

The wind is still blowing, so noisy, yet lonely.

After a long time, Lin Chao said slowly, "This... is Li Wenyou's tomb?"

Jia Xu didn't reply, but nodded slowly.

Lin Chao continued to stare at the tomb, but recalled in his mind the appearance of Li Ru assisting Dong Zhuo to enter the capital in an attempt to destroy the family and control the world.

At that time, Li Ru was so lonely and cold, and he had the ambition to swallow everything in his chest.

Slapping Fang Qiujian, the whole world is in his hands!
Then Dong Zhuo was defeated, and Li Ru spent ten years in Chang'an, but was finally put into this low grave.

Everything in his life was like a dream in Nanke, absurd and bizarre, but also yearning and sad...

Thinking of this, Lin Chao suddenly burst out laughing. He didn't know whether he was laughing at Li Ru, Dong Zhuo, or the world.

After laughing for a while, Lin Chao let out another deep and long sigh.

"Hou Feihou, Wang Feiwang, rode thousands of horses to Beimang.

Choose the hero, go out of Xiliang, kill the king twice and die for life.

Fighting for fate for half my life, hidden in a tomb without a stele..."

Hearing this, Jia Xu, who had only been seeking his own life all his life, showed a sad look, and the corners of his eyes were also a little bright, and he murmured:
"Brother Wenyou..."

After singing a song, Lin Chao took out a jug of wine, sat down in front of Li Ru's grave, and invited Jia Xu to sit opposite him.

"This place... should be the Clothes Tomb."

Jia Xu nodded, and said in a calm tone: "After Wen You killed the late emperor with poison, he died by drinking poison in Weiyang Palace, and his body was beside the late emperor. Naturally, the civil and military officials in Chang'an City would not let his body go. , By the time someone finds out, Wen You's body has long since disappeared, so someone can only set up a tomb for him here...but after all, no monument can be erected."

With Li Ru killing the emperor twice, he naturally enjoys the treatment of a national thief like Dong Zhuo.

It's just that he is too thin and doesn't have much fat on his body, so he can't be made into a sky lantern like Dong Zhuo, but the punishment of being cracked by a car is still inevitable.

Regarding this act of venting his anger on the corpse, Lin Chao didn't feel too uncomfortable, after all, everyone was already dead.

Although it was in an inconspicuous corner of Beimang Mountain, Jia Xu still didn't dare to write Li Ru's name.

Once someone with a heart finds out, not only will he die without a place to bury him, but even Lin Chao may be affected.

The early spring wind was blowing at Lin Chao's temples, and while his hair was fluttering gently, Lin Chao also felt a bit of coolness.

But he didn't care about his manners at all, and still persistently filled three bottles of fine wine.

"Although Li Wenyou is evil to the world, he has contributed to this peaceful and prosperous world after all. Wenhe, let us toast him!"

Hearing this, Jia Xu solemnly raised the wine bottle in his hand.

"As it should be!"

After the ceremony was over, Lin Chao stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed his hands to the low grave in front of him.

"You buried your bones in the mud of the spring, and I sent the world full of snow...

Brother Li, you rest first, and the rest...someone will do it for you. "

After finishing speaking, Lin Chao stared at the new grave for a long time before finally turning around and leaving.

He understood that although this was the first time he came to worship Li Ru, it should also be the last.

On the way home, Lin Chao said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, does Wenyou have any descendants alive?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "I don't know about this matter, but even if there is, we probably can't find it. Besides, Wen You probably doesn't want us to find it."

"That's right, then there's no need to mention this matter again." Lin Chao said with a soft smile, "But Wen You has solved our biggest problem for us, and it's time for us to speed up the pace of rebuilding the country. Some meaning, please come Bingzhou."

"Bingzhou..."

After Jia Xu pondered for a while, he hesitated and said: "The battle in Nanyang, Yuzhou is not over yet, and our army is still fighting. If we try to attack other princes at this time, I'm worried that we won't be able to take care of each other head to tail."

"Wen He is worrying too much. Now that His Majesty has proclaimed himself emperor and occupies the righteousness, no one in the world dares not to follow. Besides, this troubled world has lasted too long, and I don't want to wait any longer."

"Then what should we do when we go to Bingzhou?"

Jia Xu asked.

"In the past, Zhang Yan from Montenegro returned to His Majesty, and someone ordered him to stay in Bingzhou. Now seven or eight years have passed, and there should be tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. Wait for a decree to command you to lead Zhang Yan's army to the northern part of Jizhou, and persuade you to surrender. Gongsun Bogui."

Jia Xu immediately understood Lin Chao's intentions, and said, "That's right, now that Liu Yu has surrendered to Youzhou, Gongsun Zan only has a few counties in the north of Hebei, and he can't support himself. Besides, this person is His Majesty's senior brother, so he shouldn't be a traitor." .

However, what if Gongsun Zan surrendered, and what if he did not surrender? "

"This move is divided into two steps. The first step is to persuade Gongsun Zan to surrender. If Gongsun Zan is unwilling to surrender, then go to war directly. This is the reason why XX asked you to bring Zhang Yan's army.

If Gongsun Zan is willing to surrender, let him join forces with Zhang Yan, and the army will go west to attack Han Sui in Liangzhou! "

Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Liangzhou has been in an extremely unstable state, with warlords fighting in chaos and government officials collapsing.

And the most powerful of these warlords is Han Sui who has been jumping around since Dong Zhuo's time.

Now that Northern Xinjiang has been settled, it's time to deal with this guy.

Still the same sentence, if you are willing to surrender, you will be treated with high officials and generous salary, provided that you let go of the power in your hands.

If you don't want to surrender, then die!

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Understood, I'm going north tomorrow."

"This trip is a bit dangerous, so I asked Lu Zike to lead an army of [-] to go with you. If it doesn't work, I can protect you well."

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

After returning to Luoyang, Lin Chao called Guo Jia over again.

These days, Guo Jia is almost free.

He is naturally good at the way of battle, and he doesn't like to deal with copywriting, which is also an important reason why he didn't enter the inner palace back then.

Now that hundreds of thousands of troops are going abroad, Guo Fengxiao can only hang out in Luoyang, which makes him very boring.

Although Liu Bei was as reckless and easy-going as before, he had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor after all, and Guo Jia couldn't go to the palace all day to beg for food and drink.

It's fine to run naked in the street while drunk, but if you want to run naked in the palace while drunk, even if Liu Bei doesn't blame him, the Metropolitan Procuratorate headed by Cui Yan can spray him to death.

Cui Yan, Cui Jun, and Zang Hong are all fighters among the trolls. Guo Fengxiao knew he was invincible, so naturally he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

When he was bored, Guo Jia received a summons from Lin Chao and rushed straight to the palace.

After Lin Chao became prime minister, Liu Bei imitated the old practice of the Sangong Mansion and reserved a hall in the palace as an office for him, next to the cabinet, and it was also convenient for Lin Chao to command hundreds of officials.

"Zi Chu, what are you calling for?"

As soon as he entered the hall, Guo Jia's loud voice rang out.

Before Lin Chao could say anything, Lu Su next to him coughed lightly.

Seeing this, Guo Jia was a little helpless, but he had no choice but to straighten his clothes, and bowed his hands to Lin Chao: "I pay my respects to the prime minister!"

"Sit down and talk."

Lin Chao waved his hand to signal Guo Jia to take a seat, and then continued: "Feng Xiao, the war in the south is now at a stalemate, so I'm going to let you go."

"Okay, I've wanted to go a long time ago, which route are you going to serve as a military adviser?"

Guo Jia immediately said happily.

"No, I'm not asking you to be a military adviser, but I'm asking you to go to Nanyang." Lin Chao shook his head, then lowered his voice suddenly, "Someone remembers that Feng Mingwei of the school office once buried a nail beside Yuan Shu, Is it still there now?"

Hearing this, Guo Jia's face also became serious, and he said, "Of course it's still there, which nail do you need to use?"

"It's not necessary now, but Yuan Shu can't last long. You go ahead, and when you really need to use it, just directly..."

As he spoke, Lin Chao gestured to wipe his neck.

"I understand."

Guo Jia nodded.
