Chapter 45
Xiahou Dun left helplessly with the guard, and a glimmer of light appeared in Wang Lei's eyes.
This Xiahou Dun is not simple!
The words between Wang Lei and Xiahou Dun were completely humiliating, especially the two horses given, which could be said to be a humiliation to Xiahou Dun. However, Xiahou Dun was not blushing and breathing, calmly took the two horses given by Wang Lei, and left calmly with the guards. Such a mind cannot be done by ordinary people, and he is worthy of being Cao Cao's right-hand man.
On the battlefield, only Wang Lei and his group were left.
The soldiers of the Tiger Camp were not seriously injured, no more than twenty people died, and less than fifty people were injured.
However, the soldiers in Xinshi County suffered more than a hundred losses and were injured more. At the beginning, the soldiers in Xinshi County were attacked by Xiahou Dun and Liu Bei, and suffered heavy losses. Wang Lei only came out from behind to save the killed soldiers in Xinshi County. Wang Lei glanced at the dead Pan Feng, immediately withdrew his gaze, and did not take it to heart.
Until now, Wang Lei still didn't know that the person who died was Pan Feng, and he only thought that a very inconspicuous little character had died. The Sima of a county's army could not catch Wang Lei's eyes.
"Sir, the war has ended. Please send soldiers to escort the war horses back to Xinshi County. After returning to Xinshi County, the county magistrate of our Xinshi County will definitely thank you very much."
Tunchang mustered up the courage and spoke again.
Wang Lei did not answer positively, but instead spoke: "Brother, your surname?"
The head of the Tun replied: "Report to the master, my uncle's name is Ma Yuan!"
"Ma Yuan, very good, this is a good name. If I remember well, one of the founding heroes of Emperor Guangwu, also known as Ma Yuan. Your name is very good, but the suggestions you made are very poor. Wuji County just encountered a black mountain bandit attack. I do not have enough troops to escort the war horses to Xinshi County. Moreover, you have suffered heavy losses and cannot protect this batch of war horses. Therefore, I will escort all war horses back to Wuji County and temporarily place them in Wuji County."
Wang Lei snorted and ordered: "Dian Sima, escort the war horses back to Wuji County and set off immediately!"
Dian Wei was extremely excited, waved his hand and acted immediately.
Ma Yuan was worried about his situation when he returned to Xinshi County. He knew that if he had not brought back the war horses, he would have been in a miserable situation. He once again said loudly: "Sir, you can't do this. This is the war horse of Xinshi County."
"snort……"
Wang Lei stared at Ma Yuan, snorted, with a cold expression and a knife.
call!!
The black golden snake spear was crossing its chest, and an invisible pressure instantly spread.
Ma Yuan was so scared that he took two steps back, and even Ma Yuan was worried that Wang Lei would poke him with a spear.
Wang Lei said: "The order of my official is unquestionable. You can go back to Xinshi County."
"Abide by the order!"
Ma Yuan did not dare to refute again, and said with his fist, "Sir, I'll leave!" He immediately summoned the soldiers of Xinshi County under his command, and looked at the strong and strong war horses reluctantly. His eyes were full of grief, and he had to leave helplessly. Even though Ma Yuan knew that he would be punished by the county magistrate when he went back this time, he could only go back. He did not dare to provoke the people in front of him, nor could he afford to provoke them.
Ma Yuan left, and the soldiers of Xinshi County also left immediately, disappearing from Wang Lei's sight.
Dian Wei watched the war horses return happily and grinned. This batch of war horses harvested 600 war horses and made a lot of money. This batch of war horses is enough to equip the soldiers under Wang Lei's command, and will be a symbol of Wang Lei's rise in Wuji County.
...
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led their troops north and stopped after they left the battlefield.
At this time, Guan Yu's face turned flushed and he couldn't help coughing.
Liu Bei stopped and asked with concern: "Second brother, how are you in good health?"
Guan Yu shook his head gently, with a firm expression on his face and said, "Thank you, brother, for your concern. Guan Yu was only slightly injured, and it was not a big deal. Let's continue to rush. If the county magistrate of Wuji County leads his army to chase him again, it will be very unfavorable to us."
Liu Bei said: "After he wins, he will be dragged down by the horses and will not chase him."
Guan Yu sighed lightly and said in shame: "It's Guan Yu's incompetence that has dragged down the elder brother. If Guan Yu could defeat the black-faced man holding a big iron halberd, with the ability of our three brothers, he would definitely be able to turn the situation around in one fell swoop. We have too few soldiers and cannot kill the opponent's generals, so we can only fail."
Liu Bei called out the soldiers and ordered: "Stop moving forward and rest on the spot."
When the order was issued, Liu Bei helped Guan Yu sit down and said, "Second brother, this failure is not your fault, it is because of my lack of strength. Even if we are defeated, if there are soldiers who can fight in my hands, at this time, if I lead the troops back quietly, I will definitely be able to kill the county magistrate of Wuji County off guard and then take back the war horses. Unfortunately... After this battle, the number of soldiers under our command once again decreased, and there were less than seventy people."
As he spoke, he looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said lonely: "Yun Chang and Yide were both tigers at that time, and they were outstanding in martial arts. Unfortunately, they wandered around with me and still have no place to gain a foothold. Liu Bei is incompetent!"
He was sad and tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes. He thought that his descendants of Liu were still in the footsteps of intercepting and killing the official war horses to enhance their strength. He had not succeeded yet, and the humiliation in his heart could be imagined.
That touch of sadness is hard to erase.
A faint sadness infected Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
Zhang Fei looked disappointed, but excitedly said: "As long as we brothers work together, we will definitely create a career."
Guan Yu calmed down his wounds and said without any haste: "If you want to achieve great things, you will definitely suffer. It is quite difficult for your elder brother to revitalize the Han Dynasty. But as long as your elder brother does not give up, with Yide and I help you, you will definitely succeed."
"Yes, it will definitely succeed."
Liu Bei gritted his teeth and looked firm.
The three of them looked at each other, with three hands folded together, containing endless expectations.
...
Xiahou Dun led his troops away and left the battlefield, his face turned completely gloomy.
Xiahou Yuan followed Xiahou Dun. Although Xiahou Dun did not speak, he truly felt the anger hidden in Xiahou Dun's heart. Xiahou Yuan said: "Brother, don't be angry about the previous incident. If we had the advantage, we would not be able to hand over the war horses in our hands. We can only blame us for being weak. If we were strong, things would not happen today."
Xiahou Dun nodded and said, "I understand the truth. Although the county of Wuji County is not big, it is very skillful and a very difficult person. This time we only caught two horses, but the people under our command lost nearly twenty people. What a pity!"
Xiahou Yuan said: "It's over now, brothers don't have to worry about it."
"Well, let's go back to Yanzhou."
