The sound of the golden gong suddenly pierced the noise on the battlefield.

Huangfu Hong was shocked, "It's not good, Yuan Shao is going to withdraw." Quick, quick, kill out, kill out......"

The drums of war roared, and the huge Son of Heaven soared into the clouds.

Zhang Ji, Wang Fang, and Huang Fuhong each led their men and horses, and rushed to the Chinese army formation of the Northern Xinjiang Army like a stormy wave.

"Look, my lord, they're doing it." Tian Feng pointed to the Son of Heaven who was faintly visible in the distance, and shouted excitedly, "My lord, suspend the withdrawal of the army, suspend the withdrawal of the army......"

Yuan Shao roared angrily and pulled out with a volley. The whip sliced through the air, emitting a piercing whistling.

"Han Sui has already killed behind us, and if we don't retreat, we will be wiped out."

"Our army is completely annihilated, what good will it do to Han Sui?" Tian Feng shouted, "If Han Sui defects to the Northern Frontier Army, he should have turned against him in the morning instead of taking the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield." Now that it was nearly dusk, he ran behind us again, apparently wanting to see who the tide of battle was for, and then taking advantage of the opportunity to fall into the ground. His goal is the Son of Heaven, Guanzhong, not to destroy us. When our army is annihilated, he will have to face the formidable Northern Frontier Army, which will not benefit him at all. ”

"My lord, now Zhang Ji, Wang Fang and Huang Fuhong are leading the army to attack Liyi, and the defeat of the Northern Xinjiang Army is imminent, if we withdraw from the battlefield at this time, it will not only be the Son of Heaven and Guanzhong that will be lost." The judge persuaded hard, "My lord, please think twice." ”

Yuan Shao looked at the rear of the battlefield, then at the army that was gradually retreating, and then at the Northern Frontier Army in the distance. For a while, the six gods had no master, and every inch was in chaos, and I didn't know what to do.

Koji turned his horse's head and looked at the army in front of him with disdain.

"Kill the rebels in northern Xinjiang, kill the ...... of Koyi" The officers and soldiers of Guanzhong rushed all the way, and the earth-shattering shouts resounded in the sky.

The soldiers of Northern Xinjiang were stunned and in disbelief. The Son of Heaven wants to beat us and put us to death?

Prince Sun, Wang Dang, Yu Poison and thousands of bloodied and exhausted soldiers in Northern Xinjiang suddenly became angry and "kill...... Kill ......" roar suddenly exploded like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"The Chinese army moves back and joins the front army." Koji Yi waved his hand and said calmly, "Urgently tell all departments, take advantage of the enemy's retreat, hurry north, and withdraw from the battlefield." ”

"Order Lord Zhao to immediately reorganize part of the iron cavalry, return to the Chinese army, and block the rebels."

"Lord Zhao has already been killed." Wu Ye pointed to a galloping iron cavalry army in the distance, and said with a smile, "As soon as Yuan Shao's golden gong sounded, Lord Zhao immediately turned his horse's head and came back with some iron cavalry. ”

"Okay." Koji Yi shouted, turned back to the guards behind him and shouted, "Let's go, go north." ”

Yuan Shao's army was still retreating.

Kuai Yue came with a horse, angry, "My lord, what do you want to do?" Do you want to kill us all? His Majesty's army has launched an attack on Koyi, and now we are not retreating, but we are going to attack with all our might, and we must kill and wound the Northern Frontier Army as much as possible and defeat the Northern Frontier Army. ”

"Han Sui's iron cavalry has already arrived behind us, once they attack......"

"The Northern Xinjiang Army was attacked before and after, and the whole army was in chaos, what else did Han Sui fight?" Before Yuan Shao could finish speaking, Kuai Yue interrupted him, "The Northern Xinjiang Army has been hit hard in the front, and those Yellow Turban traitors have suffered heavy casualties, how long can they hold on?" As long as the front army and the Chinese army of Koji collapsed, the iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army could not recover the defeat and could only flee the battlefield. At this time, the victory and defeat have been divided, and unless Han Sui wants to die, he will never go further. ”

Yuan Shao hesitated, thinking left and right. At this time, if the army withdraws from the battlefield, it will not be considered a defeat, but it will still retain considerable strength. If it were to be attacked, it would be too dangerous, and the army could be wiped out at any time. What Han Sui wants to do now, whether he has defected to the Northern Frontier Army, no one knows. Once Han Sui really took refuge in the Northern Frontier Army, and when he was exhausted, he joined forces with the Northern Frontier Army to encircle and annihilate him, then he would be doomed.

Yuan Shao didn't dare to bet.

"Withdraw, quickly reorganize the army, prepare to kill Zhang Ji and other rebels, and cross the river to King Qin." Yuan Shao waved his hand and cut it to the point.

Tian Feng lowered his head in frustration. The judge and Guo Tu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. At this time, Yuan Shao still stuck to his own ideas, and he had no intention of being the king of Qin at all. What he wants is Guanzhong, his own hegemony.

Kuai Yue was angry, he pointed to the battlefield, and shouted loudly: "Originally, if you don't defeat the Northern Frontier Army, King Qin is just an empty word, and Guanzhong can't take it." ”

"Brother Xenodu, we have all the people and horses, how can we still be the king of Qin? Where does the occupation of Guanzhong begin? Since Yuan Shao has made up his mind, he will not show weakness, "Let Liyi get out of the battlefield as soon as possible, we will kill the Bashui River and enter the camp of the Son of Heaven, and we will grab the Son of Heaven first." Brother Xenodu, you won't change your mind and don't want to save the Son of Heaven, right? ”

"You ......" Kuai Yue shook his head angrily, glared at him fiercely, and flew away.

Lü Bu left the battlefield with his iron cavalry, covering the rapid retreat of the infantry army.

Pound led his army across the battlefield, trailing behind the army of foot soldiers.

Zhao Yun and Wei Jun led the army to kill quickly, blocking the way of Zhang Ji, Wang Fang and Huang Fuhong. The Iron Cavalry slows down the enemy's advance with a dense array of long arrows, and fights and retreats.

Huang Fuhong suddenly stopped his horse, raised his hand and shouted: "Mingjin, immediately withdraw from the battlefield and return to the Son of Heaven camp, quick, fast ......"

The golden gong sounded, and the army stopped.

Zhang Ji and Wang Fang came from the front one after another, "Jianshou, why do you want to withdraw the army?" Don't fight? ”

"No more fighting." Huang Fuhong said nervously, "Our plan must have leaked. You see, the Northern Frontier Army withdrew unhurriedly and in an orderly manner, and it was obviously well prepared. Look at Yuan Shao again, as soon as we fight, he retreated faster and let the Northern Xinjiang Army leave calmly. There must be a famous hall here, let's go quickly, and guard the camp of the Son of Heaven first. ”

"You mean that Yuan Shao used us to scare away the Northern Frontier Army, and then attacked us in turn?" Wang Fang asked incredulously, "Jianshou, Yuan Shao and Koji Yi fought for a day, flesh and blood flying, and still have the strength to beat us?" ”

"I don't know if Yuan Shao will fight us, but Yuan Shao's retreat has given the Northern Xinjiang Army enough time to withdraw from the battlefield, and the possibility of defeating the Northern Xinjiang Army has been completely lost." Huang Fuhong looked at the two of them worriedly, "Yuan Shao wants to switch back to the offensive now, it's almost impossible. Even if he could muster up morale and lead the army to attack again, the Northern Frontier Army had already withdrawn, and he couldn't catch up if he wanted to. Now that there is no possibility of defeating the Northern Frontier Army, will he take the opportunity to attack us? ”

"Now that Yuan Shao has lost his troops and his soldiers are tired, where does he still have the strength to beat us?" Zhang Ji sneered, "But Jianshou's consideration makes sense. If Yuan Shao doesn't fight, we will chase after the Northern Xinjiang Army, and it is very likely that he will be killed by the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry. I think it's better to withdraw. Anyway, the goal has been achieved, and now no one can grab the Son of Heaven. ”

Huang Fuhong shook his head worriedly. "The Northern Xinjiang Army is still there, and Yuan Shao is still there, although their strength has been lost, but the situation in Guanzhong has not improved because of this." He let out a long sigh, "It's getting more and more troublesome." ”

"Trouble? I don't think it's troublesome at all. Wang Fang smiled lightly, "Although the original plan to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army was not realized, both Liyi and Yuan Shao were hit hard, and the situation in Guanzhong has been completely reversed. Jianshou, I think you're worrying too much. ”

Dusk, Weiqiao.

The sun sets in the west and the flute is melodious.

Han Sui stationed at the head of the bridge, facing the little remnant sun, playing the transverse flute lightly, leisurely.

Koji's Pegasus arrives.

"When will I see you again?"

Han Sui thought for a while and sighed lightly, "If Sheji can be stable, you and I should have a goodbye day, if the Han is overturned, I am afraid that you and I will see each other indefinitely." ”

"Sir is too pessimistic." Ko Yi smiled, "In less than five years, you and I will be able to meet in Chang'an again." ”

Han Sui looked at him intently, then laughed, "Okay, I'll wait." However, in the next five years, I will not send troops to Guanzhong again. In this battle of Guanzhong, the Xiliang army suffered heavy losses and suffered a great loss of vitality. ”

The 40,000 troops of Xiliang entered the pass, first 10,000 Qiang people killed each other, and then they were surrounded and annihilated by the Northern Xinjiang Army in Nanshan Pavilion, and soon Ma Teng left the Xiliang Army with 10,000 people. In the end, less than 20,000 of the 40,000 army remained, and it was indeed a heavy loss.

"If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have entered the customs." Han Sui looked up to the sky and sighed, extremely sad in his heart.

"Sir, Xiliang will get better slowly." Koji Yi whispered comfortingly, "The general has promised Mr. that he will allocate enough disaster relief money and food to Xiliang every year. With this batch of money and food, Mr. can not only stabilize Xiliang, but also keep Xiliang people fed and clothed. ”

Han Sui nodded, "Yuntian, after you go back, thank the general on my behalf." You tell him that as long as the general can keep his promise, I will be able to ensure the stability of the western frontier and ensure that the territory of the Han Dynasty will not be lost. ”

Koji Yi agreed, "Thank you, sir, this time." The gentlemen's help will be rewarded in northern Xinjiang. ”

Han Sui waved his hand apologetically, "Forget it, I didn't help you with anything." I'm going to withdraw my troops anyway, but it's just a favor, don't worry too much. Then he looked up at the Northern Xinjiang army that was hurrying from a distance, frowned and asked, "You want to withdraw from Guanzhong?" Don't save the Son of Heaven? ”

"I've become a rebel, what else can I save?" Ko Yi sneered, "If you don't save it, I, like you, will also withdraw my troops back to Hedong." ”

Han Sui hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "The general's order?" ”

"The general likes to be dangerous, and this time it is the same, he has to eat a fat man. I want to be Qinwang, I want to occupy Guanzhong, and I want to fight Luoyang, what is the result? As a result, the Son of Heaven not only didn't want him to save him, but also said that he was a rebel, that I was a rebel, and that our Northern Frontier Army was a rebel. Lu Yi said angrily, "It's okay now, King Qin failed, and Guanzhong didn't take it down, let alone Luoyang, tens of thousands of soldiers died in vain, this battle was painful, and it was a wretch." Ko Yi waved his arms a little excitedly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I just don't understand, the general has 100,000 troops, with great fanfare, and attacks in three ways, but he can't save the Son of Heaven and occupy Guanzhong." The Northern Frontier Army lost face this time, which can be regarded as a loss of home. ”

Han Sui listened quietly, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Ko Yi calmed down his emotions and continued: "After this battle, I have the strength to kill Bashui, enter the camp of the Son of Heaven, rescue the Son of Heaven, and then turn the horse's head to attack Yuan Shao and occupy Guanzhong, so the world can be determined." But the general just didn't agree, and he actually ordered me to withdraw to the east of the river. Koji Yi gritted his teeth and grieved, "I just don't understand." I'm going to go back and ask him, what is his intention? Does he want to be the king of Qin, or does he want to dominate one side? My more than 10,000 brothers can't just die like this. ”

Han Sui looked at Lu Yi with a complicated expression. After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Have you said this to others?" ”

Koji was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he had lost his temper. He had just withdrawn from the battlefield, and he was angry for a while, and he didn't choose what to say.

"Yuntian, I have known you since you were very young. There is also a friendship between you and me. Today, I will solemnly say to you, if you don't change your temper, you and I will never see each other forever at this moment. ”

Koji Yi snorted lightly with a look of disdain on his face.

"Do you know that the 100,000-strong army attacked in three ways, why hasn't the Son of Heaven been rescued yet?" Han Sui knew that Lu Yi didn't listen to his words at all, so he walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Do you know why the general didn't concentrate his forces to attack Guanzhong, but instead sent heavy troops to attack Luoyang?" ”

Koji Yi nodded, "The general is in a hurry, and he can't wait to succeed in one day and calm the world." You all say I'm arrogant, I think the general is more arrogant than me, he thinks that no one else is his opponent, he is not vulnerable at all, and the result is ......"

"You're wrong." Han Sui said, "This is a situation deliberately created by the general, this time King Qin is simply a deception, a battle to deceive the people of the world." ”

Koji Yi looked at Han Sui in surprise, "Scam? ”

"This move of the great general King Qin can be described as huge, and the world knows it." Han Sui said slowly, "But the general still doesn't want King Qin, why?" The Son of Heaven is already old, and he will be in power in a few years. In the past few years, the Son of Heaven has been in Chang'an and has great trust in the Minister of Chang'an. What does it mean to rescue a fourteen-year-old Son of Heaven and a group of ministers who are extremely favored by the Son of Heaven to the Great General and Northern Xinjiang? The power of the great general may be deprived, the great plan of Zhongxing in northern Xinjiang may come to naught, and the Han society may be completely destroyed. ”

"In the past few years, the general has been reluctant to work on the king under various excuses, although there are many reasons, but this is definitely the main reason. Now that he occupies the three states of Hebei and has the benefits of Jizhou, if he is not diligent to the king, not only will the crime be worse, but it is more likely to cause internal chaos, so he will be diligent if he is not diligent and has to be diligent king. Han Sui sighed lightly, "Now you have seen the results of the Great General's King Qin." It's not that the general doesn't want to be the king, but the Son of Heaven doesn't want him to be the king. It's not that the general doesn't respect the Son of Heaven, it's that the Son of Heaven regards the general as a rebel. The failure of King Qin this time is not the responsibility of the general, but the responsibility of the Son of Heaven. The general easily got rid of the pressure from the top and bottom of Hebei to ask him to be the king of Qin. ”

Koji Yoshiki woke up suddenly.

"Now everyone in the world knows the great determination of the great general Qinwang, the great determination of Zhongxing Sheji, and they all know that the great general is the greatest loyal minister of the Han Dynasty." Han Sui brushed his beard and said, "Now even if the Son of Heaven, the ministers in the Chang'an court, as well as Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others think that the general is a traitor of the Han Dynasty, no one in the three states of Hebei will doubt the general, including the eldest princess." After this battle, the general will establish his absolute authority in the three prefectures of Hebei. ”

"What the general needs is not the Son of Heaven, not the ministers of the Chang'an court, what the general needs is the reputation of absolute loyalty to the Han and the Son of Heaven, and what he needs is the trust of the people of the world. With fame and trust, he can gather the power of the world and quickly pacify the Zhongxing Han in the world. ”

Han Sui looked at Ko Yi and asked with a smile, "Do you understand?" It's not the general who asked you to quit Guanzhong, but the Son of Heaven, it was the Son of Heaven who asked you to quit Guanzhong. ”

Koji Yi gritted his teeth, "The general disregarded the lives of his brothers for his own sake, he ......"

"Don't understand it that way." Han Sui persuaded, "Although the general sacrificed tens of thousands of innocent lives, because of this, he can avoid more wars and pacify the world as soon as possible, how many lives can this save?" ”

"What about the future?" Lu Yi asked, "We will withdraw from Guanzhong, and the general will withdraw from Luoyang, will the Son of Heaven be saved?" We can not want Guanzhong and Luoyang for the time being, but the Son of Heaven can't do without it. ”

"As I said, it's a hoax." Han Sui thought for a while and said slowly, "The affairs of the court, the so-called national politics, what power struggle, and what interest struggle, in the final analysis, are fraud. Everyone cheats each other, and whoever wins gets everything they need. From the Son of Heaven to ordinary officials, all of them are like this. The battle of King Qin launched by the great general is also a fraud. 'Deception' is to deceive the people of the world, but what about 'deception'? ”

Koji Yoshiki thoughtfully.

"In today's battle, the most beneficial ones are Zhang Ji, Wang Fang and Huang Fuhong, and the rest of the parties are the ones who are damaged. After you and my armies withdrew from Guanzhong, the forces in Guanzhong were less, and the strength of the parties remaining in Guanzhong was close to each other, and the situation was immediately simpler, but the battle was about to become white-hot. Han Sui looked at the last touch of the sunset on the horizon and sighed, "The general will definitely save the Son of Heaven in the end, but the price must be very large." Only in this way can the Son of Heaven and the officials of the three prefectures of Hebei clearly realize that the road of Zhongxing Dahan is very difficult, so that he can smoothly implement the reform and control the authority. The focus of this 'fraud' is not 'deception', but 'fraud'. The general is no longer the fierce general who galloped in the western Xinjiang back then, but a powerful minister of the imperial court.

Koji was very grateful to bow down and be taught.

"Yuntian, your temper is going to change, and you must remember not to set foot in the court, otherwise you will ......"

"How else? Could it be that the general still wants to kill me? Koji Yi smiled.

"Exactly." Han Sui leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't rush back to Hedong, remember." ”

Ko Yi's face changed, his anger surged, and he was about to speak, but Han Sui waved his hand to stop him.

"King Qin's big event, the general did not come to Guanzhong in person, but entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, can't you see the mystery of this? King Qin failed, and the general needed someone to take the blame, and the Son of Heaven didn't want to offend the general, so he naturally had to find someone to blame. Who is this guilty bearer? Could it be that if you fail King Qin, you can still be your general of the left when you return to Hedong? ”

"Sir, I am loyal to the general, and the general will never treat me like this, don't be suspicious."

"I'm not deliberately provoking, I'm warning you not to kill yourself." Han Sui Zhengse said, "The Son of Heaven doesn't want you to be the king, the Son of Heaven says that you are a rebel, so you won't be the king?" Are you willing to rebel? The general asked you to withdraw to Hedong, and you withdrew to Hedong? Do you listen to the general, or to the Son of Heaven? Does the Son of Heaven have a holy decree to let you quit Guanzhong now? ”

Koji Yi was flustered and at a loss for a moment.

Han Sui said goodbye, and his emaciated figure slowly disappeared into the faint twilight.
