As day and night change, the wilderness is desolate.

There was a scene of corpses outside Zuli City, and everything was silent. Only the foraging vultures pecked at the corpse that quickly decayed in summer.

Puff puff

A vulture that was biting the corpse suddenly flapped its wings and flew up. Below it, there was movement among the pile of dead people, and a blood-stained arm moved slightly.

He pushed away the corpse pressing on his body with difficulty, opened his mouth and breathed heavily, but a bloody smell came from his nose. When he opened his eyes, the clear sky was not bright yet. The light at the alternation of light and darkness made him look at the scene around him left and right.

The tragic death comrades had different expressions, and blood flowed into a stream and dyed the earth red. The young soldier was about to support himself with his elbow, but he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"ah"

He took a breath of air conditioning, and his already weak face kept sweating.

He looked down at his left arm, which was suffering from severe pain. The young man stared at the wound that had bloomed and even saw the bones. The already scabbed scars cracked and blood flowed out, which was shocking.

With one arm supported himself and stood up, the young man used his teeth to pull off a strip of cloth from the clothes on his right arm and bandaged the wound on his left arm.

Looking at the broken limbs and broken arms and corpses, the scarred young man walked two steps, suddenly bent down and used his right arm to crazily open the piles of corpses.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother, fifth brother, fifth brother..."

Gan Gui didn't know why he survived. The Xiliang Army had the advantage of the Xiliang Army to kill them, but now he didn't even clean the battlefield. Looking at Zu Li, who was closed like a dead city, the Xiliang Army should be no longer among them.

At the last moment before losing consciousness, Gan Gui only remembers that he fell down before Guo Ye, and then there is no way to know what happened later.

Looking through the corpses around him, Gan Gui was in a daze and kept calling out to Brother Wu. Every time he opened a corpse and found Guo Ye, Gan Gui felt very complicated. He neither wanted the cold and rotten corpse at his hand to be Guo Ye. But he also wanted to find Guo Ye's whereabouts, but he was afraid to face the fact that Guo Ye had passed away.

Just when Gan Gui was extremely desperate, he finally found Guo Ye and pushed away the corpse pressing against Guo Ye. Gan Gui's eyes shone with surprise, but his face was pale and frightened, and he reached out to Guo Ye's breath with trembling hands.

It seemed like waiting for the verdict of fate. Gangui closed his eyes and felt his breath with his fingers.

Every time his heartbeat was like hitting a bell, tears flowed from Gangui's eyes. He was a little desperate and threw himself on Guo Ye and cried in pain: "Fifth Brother!"

Suddenly, Gan Gui, who was lying on Guo Ye's body, quickly wiped his tears again. He reached into Guo Ye's broken bloody clothes, and his palm pressed against his chest. Gan Gui showed a silly smile. He did not feel the coldness of the body. He quickly pulled out his right hand that could still move normally and felt Guo Ye's breath again. Although it was thin, it did exist.

Gan Gui picked up Guo Ye and was shocked. Guo Ye's entire back had been torn and his back was blood-red.

He knew that Guo Ye's life was hanging on a thread at this moment. If he didn't receive treatment, he would die here. Gan Gui struggled to carry him on his body, and he was burdened with his shoulders. He wanted to exert force on his arms. The sudden severe pain from his left arm made Gan Gui lose his center of gravity while removing the force. He just took a step but fell to the ground, and Guo Ye fell from his back to the ground.

"Fifth Brother. Fifth Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Gan Gui didn't care about his pain, so he crawled to Guo Ye and cried bitterly. He quickly checked whether there were any wounds on Guo Ye's body that were cracked and bleeding. Fortunately, there were no new injuries and no old injuries. Gan Gui carefully carried him on his body again. This time, no matter how painful his left arm was already injured, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Under the bright sky, Gan Gui's slightly thin body was walking towards Jincheng step by step from the pile of dead people.

...

Chang'an

Since Pang De came to Chang'an for recuperation, Guo Jia would visit him in person every day. Now, Pang De has almost recovered, and the mighty warrior who used to be once again majestic and powerful.

On this day, Guo Jia and Pang De were walking in the military camp. The two talked about some topics about military governance. They were not considered to be anyone who would advise whom. They expressed their opinions and learn from their strengths and weaknesses.

"Ling Ming, I want you to be a general under Meng Qi in the future. Maybe this will make you wrong, but I plan to submit to the court for a few days, Meng Qi will serve as the governor of Liangzhou to supervise the war in the northwest. Meng Qi has no one available under Meng Qi. Only if you understand him can you achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Ponde immediately held his fist and took the order without hesitation.

He still followed Ma Chao, but the pair of ministers have become ministers now.

When the two walked out of the military camp together, Xu Shu walked over and bowed in front of Guo Jia and said, "Lord, Jincheng sent an urgent report. Meng Da led his army to encounter heavy troops in Zuli and Han Sui. Dian Man rushed back to Jincheng in time to convey the message. However, Mr. Ye did not return to Jincheng, and his life and death were unknown."

Guo Jia was silent without expression.

If you send him to the battlefield, you should have the awareness of the current situation.

At this moment, Guo Jia's heart beat like thunder, and it seemed as if his whole heart was accelerating and falling.

call.

Sigh a sigh of relief.

Guo Jia looked up at the sky and murmured: "Zu Li, Zu Li."

Maybe he is not as old as a white-haired man to send a black-haired man, but his son's life and death will always make his mind, which is always as calm as water, panic.

"Yuanzhi, you bring 10,000 troops from Chang'an to support Jincheng, camp fifty miles outside Jincheng to find out the movements of Jincheng. If you arrive, the enemy besiege Jincheng, you can come forward and kill the enemy off guard. If there is no enemy siege, you can camp outside the city and watch it happen."

Guo Jia did not mention Guo Ye's name, but just responded to the situation in Jincheng.

This response strategy was already considered before the army set out westward.

Jincheng is bait. If Han Sui takes the bait, Chang'an can only send 10,000 troops to ensure that Jincheng is worry-free. Wuwei is in the front, and Han Sui goes to attack Jincheng's troops and horses to be dead. Guo Jia can calmly catch turtles in the jar.

"Lord, the last general will ask for a fight. I am willing to go to Jincheng with Lord Xu."

Pang De clasped his fists to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia nodded and agreed, saying to him: "Let Ming go and prepare first, and set off before sunset."

The troops in Chang'an were ready long ago. Guo Jia was just waiting for news ahead. Although he expected this situation, he was still a little surprised. At least Han Sui should seize the opportunity, or the opportunity to try to turn the world, Han Sui did not let it go.

If such an enemy cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop, it will definitely be a big problem in the future.

The so-called killing of snakes is to suffer if you don’t die.

Pang De left to go out for a voyage, and Xu Shu also planned to take his leave. However, Guo Jia grabbed his hand and came to him. Xu Shu was shocked to find that he had not seen Guo Jia appear in front of him for many years with a violent and cold look.

"Yuan Zhi, I sent someone to send my order to Xingba to conquer the northwest. Anyone who does not surrender to resist will be the three tribes of Yi, whether Han or Qiang or Hu! "

Xu Shu frowned slightly, and finally he still took the order.

The Northwest was negligent in governance at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and because of the oppression of the people of Guanxi from Guanxi, the politics and local people's livelihood were like this. This was why the people in the Northwest had a bloody nature of dissatisfaction and resistance. Because of this, Xu Shu did not oppose Guo Jia. Different strategies should be given to different groups of people. Whether it is a strong fist or a gentle person will vary from person to person.

But Xu Shu also understood that Guo Jia had just asked him to pass the order to the front line now, which was most likely because of Guo Ye. Guo Jia might have a little bit of kindness at first, but it disappeared at this moment.

After Xu Shu left, Guo Jia looked at the sky and was stunned.

Am I wrong?

Jade cannot become a weapon without carving. When dragons and insects become insects, gold will be seen when the waves wash away the sand.

Guo Jia's expression showed a trace of struggle.

As he has come to this day, he has no room for a step back and the sky to expand. This naturally includes his descendants.

If Guo Ye really died early, he would have a heavy blow to Guo Jia.

He didn't even know how to face his sons in the future, whether to continue to protect them, or to let them go to a dangerous and murderous battlefield again?

Not only in troubled times, but even in peaceful times, Guo Jia also hopes that his children can recognize the difficulties and dangers of the world and the sinisterness of people's hearts.

But he seemed to be not prepared to bear the price of losing his son.

"Ye'er, you chose this road, tens of millions, come back alive."

Dianman, who returned to Jincheng to report the news, came to meet Fei Shi with Xu Yi after a short rest.

"Sir Fei, I plan to leave the city and go to Zu Li to find the soldiers who survived."

Dian Man came to see Fei Shi after he had done all his preparations, which showed that he was here to inform him, not to request him.

Fei Shi sighed silently when she saw his appearance.

After all, Dian Man can be restrained by not within his authority. What Dian Man should do unless it is to hinder public affairs, and Dian Man's intention to find a survivor is actually to find Guo Ye and Gan Gui, both public and private, and Fei Shi has no reason to stop Dian Man.

"Dianman, you should know that if you encounter Han Sui's army this time, you may be in danger of your life."

Dian Man said firmly: "I was ordered to report the news. The military information has been brought to you. This city guard is not my strength. Lord Fei is in charge and plans with the lord. Jincheng has no worries, so I will say goodbye."

Dianman did not answer Fei Shi's question. Everyone knows this situation, so there is no need to remind Fei Shi.

But Dian Man had decided to leave, and Xu Yi bowed and said, "I bowed and said," and left. After leaving the mansion, the two rode on a fast horse and rode all the way.

In the scorching sun, Gangui, who was in a daze, was staggering, and his legs could no longer be lifted, as if he was dragging his body forward against the ground.

"Fifth brother, I have a knife on my waist. If you and I are not lucky enough to meet the enemy, I will leave my last breath to kill you first, and then I will commit suicide. I know that Fifth brother does not want to be captured, not because of your honor and disgrace, but because of your burden, and I don't want my lord to be embarrassed by it. I am the same. I don't want my family to be humiliated because of me. My father said that he was looked down upon before, and at least no one dares to look down on him openly after following his lord. If I let my father lose face, then I'd better die than live."
