Ma Su took off the water bag from his waist and handed it to the generals and said:

"The Han army cut off our water source, and now there is only this water left. Let's divide it.

Run the throat and fight against the thieves in a while!"

Everyone took the precious water bag and took a sip of it, but didn't drink much.

When it was passed to Deng Zhi's hand, there was still a small half of the water in the water bag.

Deng Zhi was amazed at Ma Su. Is this the selfish Ma Youchang he knew before?

"Master, you can take a sip, too."

Ma Su took the water bag and smiled at the generals:

"Most of our army was lost tonight, and if nothing unexpected happens, we will all die in this village.

Is there anyone who doesn’t want to die and wants to go outside to surrender to the Han army?

If you want to go, I won’t blame you.

You can let you out.

After all, I just wanted to escape from a small road."

The soldiers and generals in the camp were imposing and said in unison with firm faces:

"We are willing to live and die together with the general!"

Deng Zhi explained to Ma Su:

"The Grand Marshal may not know us generals who came from the imperial examination.

From the first day we entered the Dachu Military Academy, we vowed to be loyal to the King of Chu and to protect the people of Dachu to the death.

As the King of Chu Jianfeng pointed out, we would rather die than take a step back!"

Ma Su said with some emotion:

"You are the Great Wall of Chu!

Ma Su is satisfied to be able to go to Yi with you today.”

He took out a stone slab and said to everyone:

"We are loyal to the king, and we will not seek any reward.

But it is their pride to let our family know that we are fighting to death!

Everyone tells their names, and this will be carved on this stone slab.”

Ma Su said as he first carved his name on the stone slab.

Deng Zhi was the first to say:

"In the first year of Jian'an, Deng Zhi."

Other generals also reported their names one after another:

"In the first year of Jian'an, Cai Rong."

"In the first year of Jian'an, the military scholars and the Jinshi were born in the military, Kuai Yu."

"In the first year of Jian'an, the military juren was Huang She."

"In the first year of Jian'an, Lu Xing came from a martial arts scholar, and he was a Jinshi."

“…”

The generals in the camp said their names one by one.

Most of them are children of large families from Jingxiang and Yangzhou, and there are also several children from poor families.

These people were able to win Jinshi in the Great Chu Martial Arts and Juren’s fame were all very outstanding young people, and they were also the future of Great Chu.

Ma Su engraved their names on the stone slabs in turn, including Ma Su himself, a total of nine people.

After carving, Ma Su stood up with his sword and said to the generals:

"Dear generals, there are less than 10,000 soldiers left in the camp now.

After this battle, we may no longer be able to play for the king.

I wish to be a Chu person again in the next life. At that time, I, Ma Su, will be willing to work with you to fight against the enemy!"

"I wish to work with the general to fight the enemy!!"

The generals walked out of the tent and walked towards the front of the camp with a determined look on their faces.

They want to lead by example to inspire the morale of the soldiers and fight to the last moment of their lives.

When Sima Yi led his troops to besiege the Chu army camp, Li Jue and Guo Si led an army of 50,000 at the intersection of Jieting Road.

After staying up for a long time, there was still no Chu army attack. Guo Si couldn't help but complain:

"I think the military advisor asked us to intercept the Chu army here. I think it's just a worry.

If the Chu army had excess troops, it would have occupied the intersection long ago.

Is it still our turn to wait here?"

Li Jue sighed:

"Military advisors have always been cautious in using military forces, but you don't know.

Jieting is very important to our army, and it is normal for him to value this place more.

If we don’t fight with the enemy, we will have credit for it. Isn’t that great?”

Guo Si muttered:

"That's right, but after suffering here in the middle of the night, how can I sleep happily with my little girl in the camp?"

"Shhh...soft!"

Li Jue lowered his voice and said to Guo Si:

"How many times have the king said that he is not allowed to bring his female family to the army to fight. Violators will be dealt with by military law."

Guo Si said indifferently:

"Isn't it enough to let the little girl dress up as a personal guard?

There are so many soldiers in the army, how can the king care about it?"

Li Jue reminded:

"Even so, it shouldn't be said to the public."

"You are so boring."

Guo Si smiled at Li Jue:

"If I can win this time, I have to rob Hanzhong.

At that time, I will grab more beautiful girls and I will give you half of them."

Li Jue waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"Don't do anything randomly. My Han military discipline is that it is completely uncommon for the people."

"Hi, secretly looting some villages and towns will not be discovered.

Anyone who discovered it has been stolen by me long ago..."

Speaking of this, Guo Si put his palm across his neck, meaning that he knew that the person he had robbed the people had been silenced by himself.

Guo Si was used to being casual when he was under Dong Zhuo's command, and he abused the people every day, and Dong Zhuo even praised him for his good killing.

After being surrendered to Liu Bei's account, he was subject to strict military discipline.

However, the country is easy to change and its nature is difficult to change. This powerful general of Xiliang will still indulge his subordinates in harming the people.

Li Jue wanted to persuade him a few more words, but suddenly felt the ground under his feet tremble.

"This is…"

Li Jue and Guo Si looked at each other. They ruled the Western Liang Iron Cavalry for many years, so they naturally knew that this was the effect of the cavalry's rapid march.

The two raised their eyes and looked forward. In the night sky, a cavalry rushed towards the Jieting.

The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, making a dull sound.

"Enemy attack!!"

Li Jue quickly raised his sword and shouted loudly:

"Brothers, form a formation and prepare to charge!"

The reason why cavalry is strong is that the momentum of the war horses galloping can destroy all enemies in front of them.

At this time, the cavalry of the Chu army galloped over. If the cavalry of Xiliang flinched, there would be no difference from the lamb to be slaughtered.

As a long-time general on the battlefield, Li Jue naturally knew this truth.
