The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1794 The balance of victory and defeat

It was completely dark, and the autumn moon was beautiful.

It's just that the moonlight shone on the battlefield full of corpses, and it was full of an indescribable sense of fear.

Li Cunxiao looked at this end and saw the broken chains and weapons in the frozen blood. On the endless battlefield, there was not even a ghost, except for the corpses stretching to the edge of the sky.

Li Cunxiao got on his horse and shouted: "Go back to the barracks first!"

"Here!"

Although these warriors were deeply saddened, but Li Cunxiao gave the order, but they had no choice but to get on their horses and go back to the camp.

"Why haven't you come back yet!"

"Why haven't you come back yet!"

Zhou Yu remembered being furious, it was completely dark, but Ran Min did not return to the army, and Li Cunxiao also did not return.

Among the hundreds of thousands of troops, anything can happen, how many nails can be broken if you are covered in iron?

"Wow——" the military tent was lifted, and three scout generals hurried in, knelt down in front of Zhou Yu in unison, bowed their heads and did not speak.

"Trash! Haven't found the second master yet?" Zhou Yu cursed manically.

The three dare not speak.

"You bastard, what use are you for? Cut it off!"

The knife and ax hand raised three scout generals, and when they walked out of the military tent under cover, suddenly a fast horse came from outside and rushed directly into the military tent.

Zhou Yu was furious: "Bastard—" he saw the man on the horse, but stopped talking suddenly.

Ran Min, covered in blood, suddenly sat on the horse.

"Boom—" Ran Min dismounted from his horse, threw his hook and halberd on the ground, and held a bloody head in his left hand.

"Second brother! You're finally back, I'm almost scared to death!" Zhou Yu was overjoyed. It was really because of Zhang Fei's matter that he now felt a sense of crisis that he had no siblings.

Ran Min didn't speak, and walked towards Zhou Yu step by step.

Zhou Yu sensed that something was wrong, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Where are you injured?"

"Dead!" Ran Min's shriveled voice made a frightening voice.

"What died?" Zhou Yu was taken aback, thinking to himself; "Could it be that Li Cunxiao died?"

Maybe only Li Cunxiao's death would shock Ran Min so much.

"They're all dead." This was the last sentence Ran Min said, and after he finished speaking, he fell down like a mountain.

……

When Li Cunxiao returned to the army, he saw hundreds of people kneeling on the ground in a wide field, surrounded by warriors holding torches. There were two people standing next to one person, one holding a torch and the other holding a big knife. .

"What happened here?" Li Cunxiao asked on horseback.

The general on one side saw that it was Li Cunxiao, so he rushed forward and shouted: "General Li Cunxiao has returned from victory!" Then he said: "Something has happened, the second master brought this head back, and after only a few words, he passed out. Your Majesty thinks that these generals are not good at fighting, and all the generals who have been on the battlefield today, no matter whether they are meritorious or not, have all been dragged to the sidelines of the school field, a total of 70 people, all of them will be condemned and beheaded!"

"Huh?" Li Cunxiao's heart skipped a beat: "Master Shang Shu didn't stop him?"

"My lord Shangshu has eaten the king's mouth. Who dares to talk too much? Now these people are counting on the son-in-law to save their lives. The prince is now in a rage and can't listen to anyone's words. The son-in-law just came back. Hurry up and persuade everyone." Your Majesty, these people are the backbone of the army, if they die, there will be a large void in Jiaodong County, and it will be scary to think about it."

Li Cunxiao got off his horse, "You have the road ahead, how is General Ran doing now?"

"There was only an arrow wound on his left elbow, and Zhu Longma's front left hoof was wounded. By the way, the second master brought back the head of Marshal Li Jing of the Shu Kingdom."

"En." Li Cunxiao came outside the big tent, the guards informed him and invited Li Cunxiao to enter the king's tent.

After Li Cunxiao walked in, he saw Zhou Yu with a melancholy face.

"My lord..." Li Cunxiao shouted in a low voice.

Zhou Yu raised his sunken eye sockets: "The son-in-law is back, let's do it."

"Second Lord Ran now..."

"The military doctor checked it out and said that the second brother seems to have been greatly stimulated and hurt his brain. He may not wake up for the rest of his life."

Li Cunxiao didn't know what to say, he hesitated for a while, and said: "General Ran is as blessed as the heavens, he definitely won't fail to wake up."

"What happened on the battlefield today?" Zhou Yu asked suddenly, the cold eyes made Li Cunxiao tremble in his heart.

After recalling it carefully, Li Cunxiao said: "But we parted by the big lake to see who could kill the most Shu generals. After we parted, I felt something was wrong. When I rushed back, I saw tigers and leopards. Riding more than 100 cavalry is suicide."

"They committed suicide!" Zhou Yu's face turned pale: "Those people are descendants of generals who died in battle under our command. The second brother raised them as his own sons. No wonder! No wonder!"

"My lord... insisted on killing those generals outside?"

"Forget it, it's not their fault."

Li Cunxiao said: "These people are the arms of the prince, let's introduce a scapegoat, so as not to create a estrangement between the soldiers of the three armies."

"I know." Zhou Yu sighed: "Tomorrow's battlefield will be handed over to the rest of Shangshu's command. It is not a difficult problem to defeat Li Shimin."

"My lord, you are still inseparable from the army." Li Cunxiao said: "Our army has advanced eighty miles, one bloody footprint at a time, why should this credit be given to Lord Shangshu? General Ran and General Zhang are unconscious now. , it’s all for the sake of the prince, if the prince gives in at this time, wouldn’t it be telling others to pick peaches halfway?”

Zhou Yu was silent for a while: "You are right, you will be my confidant in the future."

Li Cunxiao was moved and said: "I can't ask for it!"

More than 300 generals were pardoned, and then heard that there was a villain who went forward to slander in front of the king. Fortunately, the son-in-law scrutinized and spoke to the king. The high-ranking officials of the Jiaodong Kingdom have now become the outlet for the slanted anger of the soldiers of the three armed forces.

As for Zhuge Liang, he was slapped by Zhou Yu after he tried his best, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. In this army, whether it was on the surface or in reality, Zhou Yu's full strength was the greatest.

When Li Cunxiao heard that this was true, he also secretly laughed. Warriors always dislike literati, and it has happened since ancient times and today.

Although the Qin army made a big fuss, compared to the state of Shu, these are completely negligible.

Ran Min and Zhang Fei didn't die in battle on the spot, and there is still a possibility of surviving. However, Li Jing, whose head was beheaded, was the biggest accident.

War-wounded people can always be revived, but if their heads are lost, they can never be put back on.
