"Brother is seriously injured, it's all because of my foolish brother. I'm the one who hurt you!"

In the camp on the left side of the Central Army Commander's tent, Pang Tong stood in front of the couch and watched the accompanying ward bandage Xu Shu's wound. After the wound was treated, he waved his hand to send off his personal soldiers and the ward. He cried with tears in his eyes and blamed himself, and his face showed endless regret. He really regretted his intestines, so he cried bitterly in front of Xu Shu. ≥ There was still some regret and indignation in regret.

"Cough——!" Xu Shu, whose face was gray and his lips were chapped, started coughing before he could speak. When he stopped coughing, a smear of blood spilled out of the corner of his mouth, adding a color to his pale cheeks.

Pang Tong sat by the bed and held Xu Shu's left shoulder, patted his back gently while whispering: "Brother Yuanzhi, don't say too much. It's important to be safe and relieve your injuries. The elder brother is seriously injured and cannot speak too much. Don't worry about military affairs. I will ask my elder brother about his personal soldiers later." Indeed, Xu Shu was extremely injured, lost too much blood and was not strong enough, so it was difficult to even speak.

Xu Shu raised his left arm and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. Then he gently swung his left hand, took a deep breath, and calmed his rapid breathing. Then he said softly: "Shi Yuan doesn't have to blame himself. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's just that my brother is careless and underestimated the enemy to advance rashly, and he will have the disaster today." As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shu coughed up another mouthful of blood, which led to his speech abruptly. This was caused by his emotional ups and downs, because his injuries were too serious.

Just now, the Doctor of the Army pulled out three broken arrows from him, two of which were arrows in the calf, and the remaining arrow was on the left chest. The sharp arrow pierced the lung lobe, causing him to vomit blood and breathe. But this is not the most fatal trauma. The reason why Xu Shu is now in dying is because his entire right arm was cut off shoulder-to-shoulder. After an ordinary person loses one arm, if rescue is prompt and handled properly, he will not die;

However, after Xu Shu was injured, he not only did not receive timely and effective treatment, but fled in a hurry. Although the wound was bandaged afterwards, he still had to rush to go, so he bumped all the way, and the wound could not solidify and stop bleeding, and it was bleeding all the time. In this way, it was a miracle that Xu Shu was able to return to the camp alive. Perhaps, this was his persistent and firm belief that supported him to return to the camp. When his wish was over, it was the time when his body was exhausted.

"Brother, don't say anything more, your health is important. After your brother is healed, can you and my brother have a long talk?" Seeing Xu Shu in such pain, Pang Tong felt extremely heartbroken, and the pain was as painful as a knife. He once again dissuaded Xu Shu not to speak again. Relax with peace of mind. While speaking, Pang Tong took out a towel to gently wipe off the blood stains on the corner of Xu Shu's mouth.

Xu Shu shook his head slightly and grinned sadly: "Shi Yuan doesn't need to persuade him anymore. I don't say something to you at this time. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it again. The reason why Brother Yu can survive until now is to return to the camp to report his life and tell Shi Yuan about the whole story."

"This" Pang Tong shed tears before he could speak. He choked and said, "I am obedient to listen to my brother's teachings, please tell me."

Xu Shu shook his head again and said slowly: "It's not about teaching, but about finding some clues. Perhaps it's useful to Shi Yuan." Pang Tong's expression changed when he heard the sound, his eyelids twitched a few times, but he didn't interrupt. He couldn't bear to interrupt Xu Shu.

"Brother Yu led his army to attack Yangdi City this time. It was very smooth all the way. It took only three days and three nights to sneak into the west gate of Yangdi City, and sent Zhou Tai to sneak into the city in advance, thinking that he was an internal support." Xu Shu spoke very slowly, but he said in detail, saying that the situation of attacking the west gate that night was completely clear and Pang Tong listened to him.

"Wei Yan underestimated the enemy, and was killed by the enemy general Guan Yu in the three rounds. As soon as Wei Yan died, our morale was frustrated. Many soldiers were afraid to move forward, but instead of advancing, they tried to withdraw from the city gate. At this moment, the enemy general Guan Yu led a thousand elite cavalry, seven thousand infantrymen and more than ten thousand civilian young and strong generals to come over, and instantly dispersed my vanguard front army, and then rushed straight to the central army led by me. I knew I was unable to defeat Guan Yu, so I ordered the personal guards to shoot arrows at once, trying to shoot Guan Yu in one fell swoop, but Guan Yunchang was very amazing. Hundreds of archers shot arrows together and couldn't stop him. In desperation, I had to wave my sword to fight, but was shocked by Guan Yu's sword. If it weren't for the personal guards' efforts to save me, I would have been a ghost under Guan Yu's sword."

Speaking of this, Xu Shu paused and then took a breath, and continued, "Brother Yu was well-read and read military books. Although he did not dare to say that he was proficient in all military strategies in the world, he was not mediocre. He knew the way of using troops to attack the strong and capture them alive when they encountered weak people. So he led his army to fight and retreat, and ordered the rear army to withdraw from the city gate, set up ambush outside the city, set up crossbows, and killed Guan Yu and other powerful Western Jin generals. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu's army also had masters, and he was a great military strategy for using troops. He had a basis for advance and retreat, and he was a step-by-step approach. When Guan Yu led his army to kill our soldiers, this person suddenly appeared and strictly ordered Guan Yu to stop him from leaving the city to chase him, and then ordered him to lead his troops to wipe out the soldiers scattered in the city.

However, just when I thought Guan Yu would not lead his army out of the city to chase and was about to lead his troops to retreat, Guan Yu suddenly led his army out of the city gate, caught me off guard, and more than 10,000 troops were immediately disorganized and fled in a hurry. The enemy general Guan Yu did not chase him with all his might, but instead ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows at once, and they were all rockets. It was not until this time that I realized that Guan Yu led his army out of the city not to chase our soldiers, but to burn down tens of thousands of stones of food and grass that our army carried."

"At noon the next day, Brother Yu led his army to take a detour to Cao Ren's camp outside the northern gate to negotiate with Cao Ren and discuss the matter of the alliance. Cao Ren learned that our army had suffered heavy blows in attacking the West Gate, so he spoke indifferently and did not take Brother Yu seriously at all. Brother Yu immediately left and sent a 500 cavalry to run back and forth on the official road outside the southern gate that night, pretending to be the cavalry under Zhou Yu's tent in Yuzhou to come to Yangdi City for reinforcements, deliberately letting the scouts under Cao Ren's tent see it, and hunted more than a hundred Cao's tent scouts. The next day, Cao Ren was indeed trapped and sent his personal soldiers to invite Brother Yu to the tent to the commander's tent, and took the initiative to mention the alliance. However, the food and grass carried by our army had been burned by Guan Yu's army, and Yangdi City had not yet been captured, so there was no food and grass to exchange war horses with him.

So Brother Yu pretended to say that the food and grass were trapped in the city. If Cao Ren could capture Yangdi City, he would naturally get the food and grass. Brother Yu promised him that he would compensate him 100,000 stones of food and grass after this battle. Cao Ren refused. He claimed that he had to see the food and grass before he could exchange it, otherwise the alliance would be abolished. He was forced to discuss it later. In order to be forced, Brother Yu threatened Cao Ren to submit by evacuating Jingzhou troops from Nanyang, and told him that if the alliance did not be fulfilled, our Jingzhou army would immediately withdraw from Nanyang, and then try to reconcile with the Western Jin Dynasty, and even form an alliance with the Western Jin Dynasty. Cao Ren was shocked when he heard this.

More than 100,000 troops under his command have entered the hinterland of Sili. If our army withdraws from the battlefield and stops from participating in the war, more than 100,000 troops under Zhuge Liang's tent in Nanyang will go north to encircle and annihilate his Wei army. After some negotiations, Cao Ren finally let go and handed over 15,000 war horses that had been prepared to me. However, this person is not a good man, claiming that he will hand over the cavalry equipment to us when our army delivers the food and grass. Now that things have come to this, Brother Yu can only stop when he sees it, and no longer get entangled with him. He will lead the army to quietly leave Yangdi and return to the camp at the fifth day of the next day."

"Brother Yu thought he had a plan, but he expected that the army had left Yangdi City less than half an hour. But half an hour later, he met a cavalry of the Shuofeng Camp under Zhou Yu's command of 5,000 people. After an encounter, there were only less than 13,000 soldiers left in Brother Yu's tent. The Xiliang cavalry seemed to have another task and did not want to fight. After a charge, he went straight to Yangdi City. But half an hour later, the enemy general Guan Yu led a thousand cavalry to chase him. He did not fight head-on with our army. He left with one blow, but kept following our army. Waiting for an opportunity to attack. Brother Yu's arm and arrow wounds were given by Guan Yu's gift, and the two generals Jiang Qin died under Guan Yu's sword, and Zhou Tai was shot by crossbow arrows."

Listening to Xu Shu's story with his ears in his ears. Pang Tong vaguely felt that it was not accidental that Xu Shu's army was intercepted by the Xiliang army, and it seemed that the Xiliang army was deliberately doing it. In addition, when Xu Shu led his army back to the camp, less than 5,000 troops, which means that most of the 25,000 infantry and cavalry he led was lost, and all of them were destroyed by the Xiliang army. There was something strange about this! But this was not the issue that Pang Tong was most concerned about. Compared with that, he was more concerned about what Xu Shu wanted to say and what he discovered.

"The Western Liang Army is brave and good at fighting. I have a deep understanding of this. My brother is seriously injured now. I wonder what he has discovered?" Pang Tong asked.

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although Yangdi City is a big city, there are only 25,000 defenders. With this little force, the Yangdi Army blocked the strong attack and attack of Cao's army and our Jingzhou army for three days. The city still did not fall. At first, Brother Yu didn't understand the truth, but it was not until the night he left Yangdi that he knew that more than 40,000 young and strong people in the city took the initiative to defend the city. With such soldiers all over the city, even if we had more than 100,000 troops, we could not capture Yangdi City. Brother Yu wanted to say that Li Li of the Western Jin Dynasty was generous and kind, and his administration was clear and clear, and he was inferior to the aristocratic family and valued the people, and he was deeply loved by the people. I wonder if Shi Yuan had heard of the 'the will of the people'. How could we go against the will of the people?"

"This is one. Second, on the way back to the camp, Brother Yu led his army to learn that Emperor Jin Li Li personally led a surprise attack on the rear of Cao Ren's army's grain and grass camp - Guandu. He succeeded and burned all the grain and grass supplies of Cao Ren's army. What does that mean? Shi Yuan would not know. In Brother Yu's opinion, Cao Ren's army will be wiped out this time, and perhaps Cao Ren's army has been completely wiped out by the Western Liang army at this time. Shi Yuan should know that Cao Ren sent troops to Sili this time and mobilized 220,000 troops, which is half of the troops under the command of Emperor Cao Cao of Wei. If he was really wiped out, then Wei will be truly damaged this time, and his national strength will be greatly damaged. Within five years, the destruction of Wei may be stagnant. Then, our Southern Han will definitely be alone and will be wiped out by the Western Jin Dynasty sooner or later."

"Third, it is also the thing that Brother Yu is most worried about. Brother Yu led his troops deep into Yuzhou this time and vaguely felt that our joint efforts of the Northern Wei army seemed to have been expected by Jin State, but they pretended not to know and waited for it, but they did not send it. After our two countries sent troops, Li Li later took action and invisibly formed a siege against our Jingzhou Army and the Northern Wei Cao Army, attempting to wipe out the troops and horses of the two countries in Sili.

This is a huge conspiracy. First, lead the snake out of the hole, so that our two countries will move first; then the Western Jin army shows it as weak and divide the troops to block the attack; when the time is ripe, then give a thunder strike, and then launch a destruction of the enemy, and annihilate more than half of the troops of the two countries in one fell swoop. If Cao Ren's army is really wiped out by the Western Liang army, then our Jingzhou army is likely to enter the Cao army's footsteps.

Brother Yu was seriously injured and thought of a bold speculation. This was a big net woven with the iron cavalry of the Western Liang. My Southern Han and Northern Wei countries did not move, and the Western Jin Dynasty did not move. Once we jumped out, we would fall into the net without knowing it. Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu and other commanders were the fishermen who closed the net. Emperor Jin Li Li was the controller of this big net, firmly controlling the situation in the world. When he led his troops to conquer the four directions, he had already cast a big net. Now that the weaving net was completed, we would just wait for our two countries to jump out and capture the two major vassal states in one place."

He said everything in his heart in one breath. Xu Shu no longer spoke, and slowly lay down with the help of Pang Tong, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
