Taishi Ci led everyone to wait at the gate of the camp. It didn't take long. A mighty army appeared in sight. A large banner fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound in the air. Wang Lei rode a carriage and rushed to the camp. He followed. There were Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Xu You, Guo Jia and others, as well as Dian Wei, Zhou Tai and other military generals. The base camp moved from Zhuo County and arrived at Jixian County. Taishi Ci saw Wang Lei's carriage. He immediately took Gan Ning and Lu Bu and others came forward. "Meet my lord." Everyone bowed and saluted. Wang Lei nodded in greeting and got out of the carriage. The moment he saw Tai Shi Ci, Wang Lei frowned slightly. The Tai Shi Ci in front of him looked a little pale and his eyes were filled with tears. It was full of blood and gave people a haggard and tired feeling. Seeing such a situation, Wang Lei had a bad premonition in his heart. Could it be that there was something wrong with the military camp? But the camp was in order and there was nothing unusual. Wang Lei suppressed the doubts in his heart and said: "Go back to the camp." The army entered the camp. Wang Lei, Guo Jia, Tian Feng and others entered the camp. Dian Wei and the generals in the army settled down the accompanying soldiers. They returned to the camp and everyone took their seats. Wang Lei was sitting directly above. His eyes fell on Taishi Ci. He said in a deep voice: "Ziyi, the army has approached Jixian. What is the specific battle situation?" Upon hearing this, Taishi Ci stood up and walked to the center of the camp. He lifted up his clothes. He knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, I am guilty." After a click, Wang Lei felt that the situation was not good. At this moment, Wang Lei was finally sure that something must have happened. Wang Lei took a deep breath and said slowly: "What's going on? ." Taishi Ci's voice was choked with sobs. He said slowly: "Last night, our army and the Youzhou army fought thirty miles south of Ji County. We lost more than 18,000 people. Although we killed nearly 20,000 Youzhou soldiers. We also defeated the opponent. But the losses were so great. I am guilty." Immediately, Taishi Ci explained the entire process in detail. There was no concealment or exaggeration. He reported the news truthfully. When Cui Puyuan heard this, he sighed in his heart. His persuasion was of no use in the end. Taishi Ci still told the truth. After Wang Lei heard this, he immediately fell silent. The loss of nearly 20,000 troops. This is a considerable amount for Jizhou. This has been since Wang Lei took charge of the army. It was the first time. Cui Puyuan rolled his eyes and couldn't help but said: "My lord, our army was ambushed. But this is not the fault of General Taishi alone. I was also guilty for not discovering it in advance. And Taishi The general made remedial action afterwards and killed as many as 20,000 Youzhou soldiers. This was a great victory for our army." Gan Ning nodded and echoed: "Lord, 20,000 Youzhou soldiers were killed. The general was killed. The losses were heavy and the morale was even lower. If we attack Jixian next, we will definitely conquer it in one fell swoop." Lu Bu said again: "My lord, I agree with what Cui Puyuan and Gan Ning said." Everyone in the army interceded for Taishi Ci one after another. Wang Lei glanced at everyone. His eyes finally fell on Taishi Ci. He said: "As the commander-in-chief of the army, Taishi Ci did not pay attention to the enemy's situation. As a result, the army suffered heavy losses. However, nearly 20,000 enemies were wiped out in this battle. The army severely injured Gongsun Zan and made great contributions. The merits and demerits can be offset, but the responsibility for dereliction of duty cannot be ignored. From today onwards, Taishi Ci will no longer command the army. He will remain in the army and be at his disposal." "I obey your orders." Taishi Ci He nodded in agreement. Then he stood up and returned to the seat. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. It was just that he was relieved of the responsibility of commanding the army. The impact was not big. Wang Lei flicked his sleeves and ordered: "The army will rest for a while." Tomorrow morning, we will break camp and head to Jixian County." Everyone got the order and left the camp. Taishi Ci looked slumped and hunched his back. He followed the crowd and left. Wang Lei suddenly said: "Ziyi, you stay." "Yes. ." Taishi Ci was just about to leave. After listening to Wang Lei's words, he sat still. Only Taishi Ci and Wang Lei were left in the tent. Taishi Ci looked depressed. He suddenly said: "My lord, I have failed to live up to your expectations. Please. The lord punishes me." Wang Lei looked slightly disappointed. He said calmly: "You have been following me for several years. You should understand my character. Now, I don't want to hear these words." Tai Shici was quite depressed, with a look of helplessness on his face. With an expression on his face, he said: "Due to my negligence in Yang County, I fell into Tian Kai's plan. If the Lord and Shi A had not appeared in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. Now that the final decisive battle is approaching, another 20,000 soldiers died here. One battle, 20,000 people, 20,000 lives." Hearing this, Wang Lei was even more disappointed. Such a depressed Taishi Ci was not what Wang Lei wanted to see. Taishi Ci let out a sigh of relief. After adjusting his emotions, he spoke loudly. Said: "I am twenty-eight years old this year. I am still very young. I still need more training. Please give me two years. After two years, I will definitely give you a brand new Taishi Ci. The King of Chuzhuang has not cried for three years. .A blockbuster. I also need time to hone.?"I sincerely ask my lord to rearrange the selection of the governor of Julu County." "What do you think?" Wang Lei said. Tai Shici said: "I want to enter Xuehai Wuya Academy to study for two years. After the two years are up, I will serve my lord again." "Wang Lei said: "Have you thought about it clearly?" Taishi Ci nodded and said: "Report to the lord. I have thought about it clearly. In order to paralyze the princes, the lord can directly remove me from my official position. In this way, it will cause trouble to the princes. An illusion." Wang Lei flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "Jizhou is powerful and full of talents. It is not yet necessary to use this reason to paralyze the other princes. Since you plan to study in the academy for two years, I agree. I hope that in two years, you can give me a brand new Taishi Ci." "My lord's kindness, I will bear it in my heart." Taishi Ci bowed and saluted, with a look of gratitude in his eyes. But Wang Lei sighed softly in his heart and agreed to Taishi Ci's departure. Studying in the academy is a helpless move. Taishi Ci experienced what happened to Xu Xiaoyu and encountered the current war. If Wang Lei disagreed, it would be easy to irritate Taishi Ci. Therefore, he temporarily let Taishi Ci rest for a while. The conversation changed. Wang Lei said : "Let's go. Come with me to see the injured soldiers." "No." Taishi Ci followed Wang Lei and went to the rear camp to arrange the positions of the wounded soldiers. When he arrived at the camp, the injured soldiers had been partially treated. .However, there were still many soldiers receiving treatment. Wang Lei and Tai Shici went straight into the camp without alerting anyone else. "The Zhou Mu is here. I saw the Zhou Mu." Suddenly, a soldier shouted. In an instant. Countless people looked at Wang Lei and Taishi Ci. Wang Lei often appeared. Many soldiers knew Wang Lei. When everyone saw Taishi Ci following behind, they confirmed Wang Lei's identity. They came to a row of soldiers who had been bandaged and treated. Wang Lei His eyes fell on a soldier at the front whose body was bandaged like a rice dumpling, with only one head exposed. When the soldier saw Wang Lei, he wanted to stand up excitedly, but as soon as his body moved, a look of pain appeared on his face. Wang Lei He quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "You don't have to get up. Just lie down." For the soldiers fighting on the battlefield, Wang Lei respected him from the bottom of his heart. Twenty thousand soldiers were blocked, unable to advance or retreat, and faced endless bows and arrows. .In such an environment, no one surrendered. They all chose to fight to the end. It was admirable. The soldier's face was filled with smiles. He opened his message folder and said with a smile: "Master Zhou Mu, when I joined the army, my old mother said It¡¯s all thanks to Master Zhoumu to punish corrupt officials and crack down on thieves and bandits, so that my family can live a peaceful life. Now there are no excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and my family also has surplus food.¡± After finishing speaking, the soldier continued: ¡°We will fight in this battle. A total of twenty-three Youzhou soldiers were killed. They did not embarrass the old mother and did not embarrass Lord Zhou Mu. We men from Jizhou are well-known men. We would rather die than surrender." After hearing this, Wang Lei felt moved in his heart. Soldier Fighting desperately. The reason is as simple as that. Wang Lei put a smile on his face and gave a thumbs up. He praised: "You are really awesome. You killed twenty-three people by yourself. It's not easy. When I was in the army. Not as powerful as you." The soldier smiled naively and looked a little embarrassed. He said, "You don't even know what's so simple. Youzhou soldiers are all cowards. I fought hard with him, but they gave up. Then I just kept killing. I kept killing. I killed twenty-three people." Wang Lei nodded and said: "Take good care of your injuries. When your injuries are healed, I look forward to your performance." "Yes. Definitely not. Disappointing Lord Zhou Mu." The soldier was high-spirited and his eyes were shining with excitement. To the soldiers, Wang Lei was Jizhou Mu, a powerful and unattainable person. He was slightly injured and actually had a conversation with Wang Lei. The joy in his heart can be imagined. After he returned home, he could also brag with his old mother, brothers and sisters. He was the person who had spoken to Mr. Zhou Mu. When he thought of this, the soldier's face was filled with a heavy smile. Smiling. After Wang Lei comforted the soldier, he continued walking down. He came to a soldier with a broken arm. Wang Lei's eyes were horrified. Not only did this soldier have a broken arm, but his body was also covered with scars. The soldier saw Wang Lei. . Smiling, not feeling sad about losing his arm. After a conversation, the soldier suddenly said: "Master Zhou Mu, can I make a request?" "If you have any request, just say it." Wang Lei thought in his heart, as long as it is nothing more than a request. The soldier agreed to the request. The soldier looked excited and said, "I want to shake hands with Mr. Zhou Mu. Is that okay?" Wang Lei was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect such a request. Seeing the soldier's face full of expectation, Wang Lei stretched out his hand. He took action and gently held the other injured hand. He held it tightly, but his heart was full of mixed feelings. The soldier's request was that simple. JustJust shake hands. These people are worthy of respect. These soldiers are touching. Wang Lei went down one by one and talked to the soldiers in the camp one by one. The more he talked, the deeper his feelings became. These soldiers moved him endlessly. After leaving the camp, Wang Lei looked at Taishi Ci and said, "I feel very touched after seeing these soldiers. Think about it for yourself. I hope you can undergo a transformation in the two years you have been in the academy." Taishi Ci He nodded silently. The expression on his face looked solemn and serious.
