The relationship between people is delicate and complex, perhaps because a word can become a good friend, or because a single action can become a lifelong enemy.

Fei Qian looked at Zhang Ji who was tied up under the tent, was silent for a while, and said, "Loosen the tie for Captain Zhang, and get some wine and food." ”

Many of the Xiliang soldiers were left alone when they fled, some of them disappeared somewhere inexplicably, and some were caught up by Mayan's cavalry and surrendered in desperation.

Zhang Ji's team was the most unlucky, and was blocked in the burning woods by Fei Qian's foot soldiers without even fighting, and when they were about to go around the woods, they found themselves facing a high shield crossbow that had already been erected, and there were flames behind them.

The wine and food were brought, but Zhang Ji did not move.

Fei Qian continued to look at the statistical report of the battle, then glanced at Zhang Ji, and said: "Don't be afraid, if you really want to kill you, you won't use this way, not to mention that even if you die, you have to be a full eater, right?" ”

Zhang Ji snorted, then sat down cross-legged, pulled over the food plate, and ate in a big gulp.

The corners of Fei Qian's mouth curled up slightly, and then he continued to report the battle.

Although it is said that it is a victory, it does not mean that there are no losses, and the largest losses in personnel are the pikemen, followed by the sword and shield soldiers and the cavalry.

The pikemen, including those who were seriously wounded after the war, died more than 200 people in total, the sword and shield hands were also close to 200, the archers were slightly better, most of them were wounded by stray arrows, 50 people died, more than 10 people were wounded, and the state cavalry lost more than 50 people from the engagement to the attack on the Niufu infantry formation, but there were also those who broke their hands and feet because they were too anxious in the pursuit battle......

In addition, the crossbowman and the Mo knife soldier also had some damage.

Most of the Mo knife soldiers were injured by the direct impact of the war horse, although they were protected by heavy armor and did not see blood from the wounds, but they were internal injuries and needed to recuperate for a period of time.

But on the whole, the army of Xiao Wan brought by Niu Fu was basically wiped out, the important thing is to capture a group of Xiliang cavalry, scattered seventy-seven eighty-eight add up to a little bit of a thousand, these Xiliang cavalry are all veterans in the Xiqiang battle for a long time, and they can be directly sent to the scene without much training, so Fei Qian naturally started to think.

And the solution, of course, is not to whip and force with knives and guns.

It's like the island game of later generations, shouting every day "The enemy is ashamed, I'm going to take off his clothes", but if you really want to go up with a knife and gun, the other party will definitely wear as tightly as the armor is, but as long as the sun comes out, slowly bask for a while, without knives and guns, they will automatically undress......

Zhang Ji devoured and was also extremely hungry, so in a blink of an eye, he took the food on the food plate out of the drink, ate and drank cleanly, and burped.

Zhang Ji wiped his mouth with his dirty hands and said, "When you're full, if you want to kill or chop, come on!" ”

"Oh, wait a minute......" Fei Qian didn't raise his head, and then took the brush and drew on the bamboo slips, as if he was busy.

The human brain is a very strange thing, and some things are arranged quietly without the special involvement of the conscious mind. For example, during normal activities, most of the blood will be supplied to the brain and limbs, but once the stomach is full of food, the brain will control the blood to concentrate in the stomach and intestines, so most people will feel drowsy and weak in their hands and feet after eating......

Fei Qian watched Zhang Ji's eyelids slowly droop down, then put down the brush in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Captain Zhang, I don't know if you still remember what you wanted to do most when you were a child?" ”

Zhang Ji sat up a little straighter, although he didn't know what Fei Qian meant by asking this, but he still said: "Where do you remember this...... "When I was a child, most of them wanted to eat something good, wear some new clothes, and it was best to celebrate the New Year every day and so on, unless there was something unforgettable, otherwise most of them would forget it when they grew up."

Fei Qian continued: "Then what does Captain Zhang remember when he first joined the army? ”

Zhang Ji laughed and said, "Of course, it's for the sake of protecting the family...... but he stopped, stiffened his smile, and then slowly lowered his head and closed his mouth.

said that the family is safe, and now that he has abandoned Xiliang and come to Hedong, what can he say?

Speaking of defending the country, what do you say about looting Hedong now and poisoning the people?

Fei Qian was also silent for a while, and then said, "Then Captain Zhang, do you think Dong Xiangguo is better for you or General Niu is better for you?" ”

"Naturally, it's Dong Xiangguo." Zhang Ji didn't think about it, and replied naturally.

"Then why did you follow General Niu? Dong Xiangguo died in Chang'an, why did you come to Hedong? Fei Qian immediately asked, "Dong Xiangguo treats you well, and then you follow a general Niu who doesn't dare to go to Chang'an?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Ji glared, opened his mouth, and stammered before saying, "...... But General Niu is Dong Xiangguo's son-in-law, and he wants to come to Hedong......"

"Then Li Changshi is also Dong Xiangguo's son-in-law, why don't you follow him?" Fei Qian asked step by step.

Li Changshi...... Isn't it rumored that Li Changshi is also dead......" Zhang Ji said.

Fei Qian stared at Zhang Ji, and then threw a bombshell, "I'm dead, so I don't have to follow?" But...... General Niu is also dead now...... It wasn't my soldiers who killed him, but his own Hu people......"

"What...... What the! Zhang Ji stood up suddenly, and without waiting for Huang Xu, who was behind Fei to sneak forward, he shook and fell to the ground because his blood pressure was not available.

This thing seems to have some low blood pressure......

Fei Qian slowly stood up, looked at Zhang Ji condescendingly, and said, "Captain Zhang, let me ask again, do you remember what you first joined the army for?" ”

"I ...... I'm ......," Zhang Ji stammered.

"I'm not from Hedong, nor am I from Bingzhou, but what am I here for?" Fei Qian didn't wait for Zhang Ji to answer, but said directly, "Because there are the remnants of the Han here, the lost land of the Han here, and the highest glory of the Han Dynasty, I followed the footsteps of the Han sages to come here, just to make this land shine again one day with the glory of the Han Dynasty again!" ”

Fei Qian slowly bent down, stared at Zhang Ji, and further knocked on Zhang Ji's heart: "And you? What can you be now? What are you doing all this for? If you die like this today, who will pity you? Who will remember you? Who will write your name in the annals of history and sing it through the ages? ”

"Because of Dong Xiangguo's kindness, you follow General Niu, not because of how good General Niu is, but because you want to repay Dong Xiangguo's affection, now ...... But you still have the kindness of the big man who has not been returned, and you still have the dream in your heart that has not been completed! Fei Qian squatted down in front of Zhang Ji and stretched out his hand to Zhang Ji, "Come on, for yourself, for those Xiliang comrades-in-arms like you, for the unfinished ideals of your army, for your name to be engraved on the top of Yinshan Mountain one day!" ”

Zhang Ji finally couldn't suppress his emotions, and grabbed Fei Qian's outstretched hand tightly, just like a drowning man grabbed the rescue hand stretched out on the shore, and put his head on it, crying, snot and tears, crying like a helpless child......
