Three Kingdoms

The relationship between people is subtle and complex. Maybe they can become good friends who get along well with each other because of a word, or they can become lifelong enemies because of a single action.

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

Many Xiliang soldiers were left alone while fleeing. Some disappeared inexplicably in some nook and cranny, while others were overtaken by Ma Yan's cavalry and surrendered when they were desperate.

Zhang Ji's group was the most unlucky. They were blocked by Fei Qian's infantry in the burning woods without even fighting. When they were about to go out of the woods, they found that they were facing an enemy that had already been set up. With a high shield and powerful crossbow, and blazing flames behind him, after seeing the death of several hot-blooded reckless men, he chose to surrender.

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

Fei Qian continued to look at the battle statistics report, then glanced at Zhang Ji and said: "Don't be afraid, I won't use this method to kill you, not to mention that even if I die, I have to be a satiated ghost, right? ?”

Zhang Ji snorted, then sat down cross-legged, took away the food plate, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

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

Although it is said to be a victory, it does not mean that there were no losses. The biggest casualties were the spearmen, followed by the sword and shield soldiers and the Bingzhou cavalry.

The spearmen, including those who died of serious injuries after the war, totaled more than 200 dead, and the sword and shield bearers were also close to 200. The archers were slightly better, and most of them were injured by stray arrows. Fifty people died and more than ten were injured. The Bingzhou cavalry lost more than fifty people from the engagement to the attack on Niu Fu's infantry formation. However, some even lost their hands and feet because they were too impatient during the pursuit...

In addition, the crossbowmen and Mo Dao soldiers also suffered some damage.

Most of the Mo Dao soldiers were injured by direct collisions with war horses. Although they were protected by heavy armor and there was no bleeding from the wounds, they were internal injuries and needed to rest for a period of time.

But on the whole, Xiao Wan's army brought by Niu Fu was basically destroyed. The important thing is that a group of Xiliang cavalry were captured. The scattered cavalry amounted to a little over a thousand in total. These Xiliang cavalry The cavalry were all veterans who had been fighting in Xiqiang for a long time. They were personnel who could be put to use directly without much training. Therefore, Fei Qian naturally started to think about it.

The solution, of course, is not to beat with a whip or force with a knife or a gun.

Just like the island game in later generations, you shout "The enemy is ashamed, I will take off his clothes" every day, but if you really want to go up with a knife and gun, the opponent will definitely wear the armor as tightly as possible, but as soon as the sun comes out, slowly After a while, they will automatically take off their clothes without using swords or guns...

Zhang Ji devoured the food and was very hungry, so in a blink of an eye, he took out the food on the plate and drank it, ate and drank it all, and burped.

Zhang Ji wiped his mouth with his dirty hands and said, "I'm full. If you want to kill me, come and chop me into pieces!"

"Oh, wait a moment..." Fei Qian didn't even raise his head, and then took a writing brush and scratched on the bamboo slips, as if he was very busy.

The human brain is a very strange thing. Some things are arranged silently by the brain without the special involvement of consciousness. For example, during normal activities, most of the blood is supplied to the brain and limbs, but once the stomach is full of food, the brain will control the concentration of blood to the intestines and stomach. Therefore, most people will feel groggy and have weakness in their hands and feet after eating. situation...

Fei Qian saw Zhang Ji's eyelids slowly drooping, then he put down the brush in his hand and asked with a smile: "Zhang Lieutenant, I wonder if you still remember what you wanted to do most when you were a child?"

Zhang Ji sat up straighter. Although he didn't know what Fei Qian meant by asking this question, he still said: "How can I remember this..." When I was a child, I probably wanted to eat something good, wear new clothes, and it was best to celebrate the New Year every day and so on. , unless there is something unforgettable, you will probably forget it when you grow up.

Fei Qian continued: "Then Colonel Zhang remembers why he first joined the army?"

Zhang Ji laughed and said, "Of course it's to protect the family..." He stopped mid-sentence, stiffened his smile, then slowly lowered his head and closed his mouth.

Talking about protecting the family, what if we abandon Xiliang and come to Hedong?

Speaking of defending the country, how can we say that we are now plundering the east of the river and poisoning the people?

Fei Qian was silent for a while, and then said: "Well, Colonel Zhang, do you think Dong Xiangguo is better to you or General Niu is better to you?"

"Of course it's Dong Xiangguo." Zhang Ji answered naturally without thinking.

"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 treated you well, and then you followed General Niu who didn't dare to go to Chang'an?"

"This..." Zhang Ji stared, opened his mouth, and stammered for a moment before saying, "...but General Niu is Dong Xiangguo's son-in-law, and he is coming 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 also died..." Zhang Ji said.

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

"Wha...what!" Zhang Ji stood up abruptly. Before Fei Qian could move behind Huang Xu and press the knife forward, he staggered and fell to the ground due to lack of blood pressure supply.

This guy seems to have low blood pressure...

Fei Qian stood up slowly, looked at Zhang Ji condescendingly, and said, "Colonel Zhang, let me ask again, do you still remember why you first joined the army?"

"I...I..." Zhang Ji stuttered.

"I, Fei Qian, am not from Hedong, nor from Bingzhou, but why did I come here?" Fei Qian did not wait for Zhang Ji's answer, but said directly, "Because there are people left by the Han Dynasty here. Here is the land lost by the Han Dynasty, and here is the highest glory of the Han Dynasty. I followed the footsteps of the sages of the Han Dynasty and came here, just to one day let the glory of the Han Dynasty shine in this land again!"

Fei Qian slowly bent down, stared at Zhang Ji, and further struck Zhang Ji's heart: "And you? Who do you think you are now? What are you doing all this for? If you are like this today When you die, who will pity you? Who will remember you? Who will write your name in the annals of history and be sung throughout the ages?"

"Because of Dong Xiangguo's kindness, you followed General Niu, not because General Niu is so good, but because you want to repay Dong Xiangguo's kindness. Now... But you still have the kindness of the big man that has not been returned, and you still have the dream in your heart. It's not finished!" Feiqian squatted down in front of Zhang Ji and stretched out his hand to Zhang Ji, "Come on, for yourself, for your Xiliang comrades, for your unfinished ideals when you joined the army, and for your name. One day it will be engraved on the top of Yinshan Mountain!"

Zhang Ji finally couldn't restrain his emotions and tightly grabbed Fei Qian's outstretched hand, just like a drowning man grabbing the rescue hand stretched out on the shore. He put his head on it and howled. Crying loudly, with snot and tears streaming down his face, crying like a helpless child...

People who have dreams are great... People who can persist in their dreams are even greater... Now that I am old, I look up at the sky when night falls, but I can no longer see the star I made a wish for when I was a child... ……………………………………………………………… Myopia and haze, it’s weird to be able to see...
