The blood dyed the river red, but after a while, these bright red colors would be taken away by the river water, and then return to the color of neither yellow nor gray, as if the river was lazily mocking everyone.

Yes, I am not mocking one person, but mocking everyone.

In Dahe's eyes, what humans are fighting for is extremely ridiculous...

The night is chaotic, just like the human heart.

Cao Zhen looked at the ferry with corpses strewn all over the place, and said to the military commander standing aside: "Thank you for your hard work these past two days."

The military prince lowered his head and said, "This is a matter of humble rank."

"I know you've been very frustrated these past two days..."

As soon as Cao Zhen said these words, although the military prince still lowered his head, his eyes became moist at this moment.

Too many people have died these days.

And most of those who died were ordinary soldiers.

These ordinary soldiers are basically subordinates of military princes.

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to go into battle in person, but that I still have a heavy responsibility..." Cao Zhen said in a low voice, "I remember... you are from Runan... back then..."

"Yes, I was a yellow turban thief when I was humble..." the military prince's voice was hoarse.

The Marquis of the Army is a Yellow Turban thief, and naturally the subordinates of the Marquis of the Army are also Yellow Turban thieves. Although they have been recruited, of course they will be rejected because of their previous experience as thieves. And since they are thieves, of course they will be the first to do dirty work.

A batch is coming.

After a few days, more than half of the veterans before Junhou were dead or injured.

"They are all good men..." Cao Zhen sighed and asked the guard to bring a wine gourd and poured some on the ground, "Respect the dead warriors..."

The military lord couldn't help but choked up a little.

Cao Zhen took a few sips and then handed it to the Marquis.

The Junhou thanked him, rubbed his red eyes, and then raised his head and took a sip.

"Keep it..." Cao Zhen said with some emotion, "The current situation is not what I want..."

Cao Zhen patted the military prince on the shoulder, and then motioned to the military prince to keep the wine gourd and not return it to him. "After this battle, I will help you to ask for credit! What are you afraid of if you are born in the Yellow Turban? There are many Yellow Turbans under the Prime Minister's command."

Qingzhou General! As long as you have meritorious service, there is no need to worry about not being promoted in the future!"

The military prince knelt down and bowed, "This is my humble duty... Many thanks, young general!"

Cao Zhen called the military princes together and said, "We are all good men in the army, so there is no need to show such false courtesy... It was not that someone deliberately concealed it before, or that he wanted your men to fight to death... but I had other important matters...

What do you think is the biggest problem in attacking Fenglingdu these days?』

The military lord said in a deep voice: "Fire oil! Heavenly thunder! If Fenglingdu does not have such a powerful weapon to defend the city... Even though I am not talented in my humble position, I will definitely be able to climb it first!"

Cao Zhen nodded and said, "Then do you know where these offensive and defensive weapons come from?"

The military lord shook his head blankly.

"That's right here." Cao Zhen pointed to his feet.

Junhou looked at the soles of his feet blankly, and then suddenly asked, "Hedong?"

Cao Zhen nodded and said: "My lord sent a total of six groups to enter the land of Hedong. Three groups lost contact halfway and there was no news... Two groups just entered Hedong County and were targeted by Youwen Division."

, the identity was revealed, and there was no place to die... The only way to successfully enter Hedong... And this time, I want to contact this route... So before, none of my people went into battle... So,

Can you understand?』

The military prince was stunned, "Young General..."

"Now I am ready to complete the mission given to me by the master... I am going to Hedong and have a narrow escape. But in order for the Cao family to no longer suffer from such fire, oil and thunder, I must go this way despite all the difficulties and dangers."

Come on!" Cao Zhen said in a deep voice, "I... also have an important task to entrust to you... I wonder if you are willing to take on this important responsibility?"

The military prince straightened his back and said, "You will not let the young general down!"

"Good!" Cao Zhen patted the military lord's arm, "After I leave with my men and horses, all the soldiers and equipment here are at your disposal... There is only one, and you must hold on for three days! You can retreat to the south bank after three days!"

The hussar was originally a sharp war horse, unstoppable across the Central Plains.

The development of armaments, except for the weirdo Fei Qian, is generally determined by demand. Therefore, the demand for cavalry before the Han Dynasty was to suppress the Xiongnu. After the Xiongnu lost their deterrence, the Han Dynasty naturally

There is no need to spend a lot of money to support war horses, because internal wars can only be solved with infantry.

Infantry is cheap and versatile, and everyone who has used it says it is good.

So to form an infantry group, it is of course best to form an infantry group in an area with a large population, because whoever occupies the Central Plains will conquer the world has become the consistent thinking mode from Liu Xiu to Yuan Shao, and then to Cao Cao, and then encountered Fei Qian's

Cavalry group...

With dry food that can be stored for a long time, and if it is supplemented by looting from enemy-occupied areas, the cavalry can even conduct interspersed raids for up to a month to disrupt and destroy military operations. This has led to the war environment of the Han Dynasty.

Earth-shaking changes. The Central Plains is no longer a piece of meat, but a piece of meat that is threatened with being cut at any time.

In order to protect this meat, the landlord class in the Central Plains thought of Wubao.

But soon, Fei Qian took out the gunpowder again and smashed it so hard that the shell of the Central Plains turtle was cracked everywhere.

Cao Cao just held his breath and signed an unequal treaty under Xu County, demarcating Guanzhong and Xijing Shangshutai.

Cao Cao once wanted to develop his own gunpowder. He thought that with so many people in his family, he could make a pile of gunpowder, but what he didn't expect was...

Therefore, the idea of ​​destroying something you can't get was finally thrown on the table.

If I can’t get it, no one else wants it!

It’s very difficult to compete, but if you want to say it’s bad, who can’t do it?!

"Three days! You hold my flag and you must stay here for three days!" Cao Zhen looked at the military prince and said, "What do you need? I will arrange for someone to go to the south bank to help you deliver it!"

"..." The military lord was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Military rations and equipment! You must hold on, at least let your sons have food and weapons!"

"That's natural!" Cao Zhen nodded, "No problem! I'll have someone arrange it! It will be delivered before dawn!"

"Strength!" The military prince put forward the second request.

Cao Zhen hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "Okay! But the pontoon bridge has limited capacity... In this way, you can deploy all the soldiers who will deliver food, grass, ordnance! What else do you want?"

Junhou's throat moved up and down, as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end he shook his head, "No more."

Cao Zhen stepped forward and held the military lord's arm firmly, "This battle affects the whole army! After the war, I will do what I say and I will definitely give you credit!"

The military prince thanked him and left with tears in his eyes.

Cao Zhen looked at the military lord walking away, his face neither sad nor happy.

"Young General..." the guard behind Cao Zhen muttered in a low voice, "When the time comes...are you really going to ask for credit from him?"

Cao Zhen glanced at the guard sideways, "If you can really defend for three days...what's the harm in asking for merit?"

"Just...how many will be left after three days?" Another guard whispered, "This time Hedong came, four to five thousand people gathered..."

Xu was restrained by cavalry, and infantry gathered in. The pressure was naturally heavy.

"Okay, stop talking!" Cao Zhen shouted, "Go and get ready. When the soldiers from Hedong gather here and the interior is empty, we will have a chance!"

…

…

In recent years, places such as Sichuan and Sichuan, northeast of Guanzhong River, have been developing rapidly, but these rapid developments have also brought about a very big problem, that is, the talent cannot keep up.

Especially the marginal areas, Feiqian doesn't care at all.

The cultivation of talents is not like pulling in a few farmers in a game, banging hammers, building a university, and then countless talents can be used everywhere...

If there were no Shoushan Academy and no Jingshi Martial Arts Hall, most of Fei Qian's subordinates would not have any room for advancement and would not be able to gain experience from others. Even so, Fei Qian could only take care of some important things first.

Areas, such as some small counties in the Taihang Mountains, basically, what they were like before are what they are still like now.

If Shexian County has dispatched inspection soldiers to garrison because it is at the key point of Fukouxing, then Zhangxian County does not even have inspections and still retains the appearance of four or five years ago.

Because Zhang County is really too small. Zhang County originally had a small population, but later Zhang Yan caused a rebellion in the Taihang Mountains and conquered Zhang County, burned, killed, and plundered it. Zhang County was ruined and has never recovered.

Later, Jia Qu focused on operating and revitalizing the Huguan system in Shangdang Huguan area, which resulted in a large number of refugees and people gathering in the Huguan area. In dilapidated places like Zhang County, there were no people at all.

Willing to go.

Just like Guanzhong Chang'an is like a black hole absorbing the vitality, material resources, and manpower of its surroundings and even the entire Han Dynasty, Huguan also attracts all kinds of people and things from other counties and villages in Shangdang County, and Zhang County naturally

It is becoming increasingly difficult to recover, let alone develop.

Zhang County originally hoped to give Bian Bing some food and grass, and then free up money to eliminate the disaster. If Bian Bing was not injured, this method would not be feasible. After all, Bian Bing was still personable before, so he naturally wanted to pay attention to some elegance.

But now, Fengya has nothing to do with Bian Bing.

How much elegance can a blind man have?

Most people don't have much compassion or kindness towards people with limb disabilities. And this attitude has nothing to do with knowledge and education, otherwise future generations wouldn't have so much malice towards guide dogs.

Of course, good intentions are not without them, they are just like flowers among weeds. While admiring the beauty of flowers, don’t forget that there are weeds all around.

Bian Bing is now a man with mutilated limbs,
To be continued...
