Under the night, the two armies along the Weinan River fell into chaos, and the Han army broke up and gathered at Fenghuotai.Huo Yi led the sergeants of the Han army and chased after the Wei army with the sound of the golden drum.

Huo Yi led the elite to hold torches, rode on horses, and took advantage of the momentum to kill some fleeing Wei soldiers. However, due to the dark sky and the many dense forests in this area, Huo Yi and others did not dare to gallop on horses, so they had to drive forward.

The soldiers of the Wei army fleeing in front discarded their weapons for a while, and dropped their pockets for a while, explaining what it means to throw away armor and armor, but they did not abandon the ears of the Han army who cut off their waists.As the heavy objects on their bodies were dropped, the soldiers of the Wei army fled much faster in an instant. Some even extinguished their torches and fled in the forest.

However, this state of pursuit did not last long. After chasing for about one or two kilometers, Huo Yi was stopped by Dianman's assembled Tiger Guards.

The Tiger Guards had a well-organized lineup. The soldiers in the front raised their shields to protect them. Behind the shields were a large number of infantry. They held spears and formed a dense jungle.

At the rear of the army formation, Cao Shuang, who had been relieved, called for the soldiers to regroup and prepare to resist the attack of the Han army.Chen Tai ordered the nearby soldiers to hold torches, or even burn objects, to illuminate the surrounding area, so that the fleeing soldiers could return to the army.

Holding the reins, Huo Yi looked at the soldiers of the Wei army who were waiting in full force, sighed for the elite of the Wuwei battalion, gave up the idea of ​​pursuing, waved his hand, and said, "Withdraw the troops."

"promise!"

Looking at the Han army who was far away, Cao Shuang looked ashamed, and apologized to Chen Tai and said, "I regret not listening to Xuanbo's words."

Chen Tai was not proud, and bowed his hands in return, saying: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. It is not unreasonable for Cao Wuwei to order his soldiers to pursue him, but he is too anxious. It is getting late today, and he does not know the depth of the enemy army. It is better to retreat and set up camp to gather soldiers and return tomorrow." division."

Having learned the lesson, Cao Shuang listened to Chen Tai's advice and withdrew his troops eastward, found a dangerous place to camp in place, and gathered the fleeing soldiers.

……

On the Fenghuo platform, more than a dozen soldiers of the Han army kept throwing firewood towards the big fire to ensure that the raging fire would not go out, taking it as a signal to contain the defeated army.The defeated soldiers under Liu Ba's command came one after another towards the Han army camp in Fenghuotai, and there was a lot of noise in the camp.

Inside the tent, Liu Ba was lying on a stretcher, his face was pale, his breathing was difficult, and he was not breathing in as much as he was breathing out.The doctor took Liu Ba's pulse, stroked his beard, and frowned.After a while, the doctor stood up, put the medicine bag on his back, and faced the anxious-looking crowd, he pointed out of the tent and motioned to speak.

Outside the tent, Wu Yi frowned and asked, "How is General Zhengnan?"

The doctor sighed, and said: "Report to the governor, General Zhengnan has suffered severe abdominal injuries, and the stone is difficult to heal. I hope all generals are ready."

When Liu Ba was leading his army to retreat, he was overtaken by soldiers of the Tiger Guards, and after fighting hard, he escaped.Although he broke through, Liu Ba was cut several times by soldiers of the Wei army during the battle, and his abdomen was injured.

After finishing speaking, the doctor bowed his hands towards the crowd, and left with the medicine bag on his back.

Wu Yi clenched his fists to vent his anger, and thumped the flagpole hard, causing the flagpole to cut across in an instant, sending sawdust flying.

"Captain!" Liu Yin shouted nervously.

...

The two brothers Wu Yi and Wu Ban have very different personalities. Wu Yi is older, has a mild temper, and is affectionate and gentle.Wu Ban has a bold personality. He often jokes with Zhuge Liang as an uncle of the country, and has an irritable personality.

Therefore, people seldom saw Wu Yi angry, but seeing him angry now, they were unavoidably worried.

Wu Yi waved his hand, and said calmly, "It's nothing, I'm feeling depressed for a while, and I'm just feeling uncomfortable."

Wu Yi lifted the curtain, looked at Liu Ba, and said sadly, "Liu Zhengnan is a veteran in the army. Since the late Emperor started an incident in Yuzhou, he has taken the lead and never lagged behind. He is very brave. Since the prime minister fought, He has repeatedly made military exploits, and he is also praised by others. It is a pity that he is shrouded in horse leather now!"

Everyone heard the words and responded silently. Over the years, many veterans have passed away. For example, Chen Shi died of illness at home.However, not many high-ranking generals of the Han Dynasty died on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, Liu Ba, a general of the Sizheng level, would also fall here now.

Liu Ba on the stretcher opened his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "Commander!"

Hearing this, Wu Yi walked over with small steps, held Liu Ba's hand, and said, "How do you feel?"

Liu Ba shook his head, forced a smile and said: "The oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry! It's not a pity for a man to die on the battlefield. I only regret that I didn't see our army occupying Chang'an. Now that the enemy against Wei is now, the governor still needs to make progress. To the effect, Ba is a lesson from the past.”

Wu Yi patted the back of Liu Ba's hand, nodded, and said comfortingly, "Yi knows! Brother Liu is well rested, and he will surely see the day when the big man recovers Chang'an."

Liu Ba twitched the corners of his mouth, nodded slightly, closed his eyes slowly, and stopped talking.

Wu Yi straightened his waist, and said: "Be good at serving Liu Zhengnan, don't be slack."

"promise!"

Wu Yi strode out of the tent, regained his serious expression, and asked everyone, "How is the current situation?"

Liu Yin followed Wu Yi and said, "I would like to report to the governor, Huo Yi's army has successfully ambushed and pursued the Wei army, and is now pursuing the Wei army. I don't know what the situation is. The defeated troops of General Zhengnan are being taken in one after another. At present, there are about [-] people. , there should be a small number of soldiers who will gather tomorrow."

Liu Yin glanced at Wu Yi's face, and continued to report: "I guess, our army should lose about a thousand people."

Wu Yi put his hand on the Han sword, let out a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "Our army has lost troops and generals before fighting. I am ashamed of your majesty and the prime minister! Yi wants to neglect your majesty and report today's battle situation to the generals." Battalion, please ask your Majesty to inquire about the crime, let General Cheqi cross the river as soon as possible to control the overall situation, resist the bandit army, and rescue General Zuo."

It is not an exaggeration for Wu Yi to say this. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he made a mistake in making a plan to march across the river, and especially caused the death of a general at the Sizheng level.As for letting Huang Quan quickly cross the river to take over the Weinan war, it was also Wu Yi's helplessness.

Wu Yi walked in the camp, looked at the barracks filled with defeated soldiers, frowned and said, "Xiu Ran, the soldiers under General Zhengnan will be under your command for the time being. Wait for Shao to return to the camp first, and share half with him. Arrange the reorganization of the defeated army as soon as possible." , don’t disturb our camp.”

As he said that, Wu Yi pointed to the fortifications outside, and said: "Although our army has just arrived here, the fortifications must be repaired. Let the soldiers work hard tonight, first set up the camps, and build the fortifications tomorrow."

"No!" Liu Yin responded.

The Han army had just arrived at Fenghuotai tonight, and the camp was basically repaired hastily, plus the defeated soldiers had to be accommodated, the whole camp was in chaos.Facing the elite enemy Wei Jun, Wu Yi had to emphasize Liu Yin.

That night, under the oil lamp, when Wu Yi was concentrating on writing the plea form, Liu Ba's personal guard entered the tent and cried, "General Zhengnan died of illness. His last words said that he was away from his hometown for more than [-] years. Mourning, no matter how difficult it is to return home, I hope I can be buried in Guanzhong."

Wu Yi's writing brush fell to the ground, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and sighed, and said, "It's really Yi's fault. Send the body of General Zhengnan to the rear, and let Taishou Guan choose a good coffin for burial. General Nan sent the funeral."

"promise!"

As he spoke, Wu Yi picked up the pen again, wet the ink, and rewrote the military report and the plea form.
