Three Kingdoms

 In the Taihang Mountains.

Bian Bingjun felt confused and uneasy, so he had to stop and collect and repair.

Bian Bing also felt that he had indeed changed into a different person after being injured. The original elegant Bian Bing, who could take everything in a hurry, had quietly faded away without any trace, even in his memory. They are scattered and cannot be brought together.

Who can remain as calm as ever after losing one eye?

Pain and lack of vision remind Bian Bing all the time that you are half-blind.

 In the traditional concept of the Han Dynasty, having a mutilated appearance meant that one was not destined to be a high-ranking person.

An idle marquis cannot change anything for the Bian family, but it will take a long time to wait for the next generation of Bian Bing. Who knows what will happen?

 Therefore, Bian Bing had to be anxious, he must have military exploits.

 Great military exploits.

 At this moment, what military achievement is closer and more appropriate than Huguan?

Everyone knows that Huguan is difficult to defeat, but now he is not alone. He must form a north-south flanking attack with Le Jin so that he can conquer Huguan. Once any aspect is lost, it will undoubtedly be difficult to conquer Huguan. Double.

Therefore, whether Bian Bing arrived late, causing Le Jin to suffer too much damage and was unable to cooperate in the follow-up, or Bian Bing could not control his own injuries and could not persist and had to evacuate, this was unacceptable to Bian Bing.

Bian Bing was angry and desperate. Once the opportunity to fight was delayed, even if he wanted to retreat, in the Taihang Mountains, under the siege of these high mountains and mountains, with lack of food and water, the end could be imagined.

 But now the soldiers were suspicious and fearful of wolves in front and tigers in the back, so Bian Bing had to stay and convene a military meeting.

Bian Bing suppressed the discomfort in his body and the anger in his heart.

 He needs to go to Huguan to cooperate with Le Jin.

 Among the generals with foreign surnames in the Cao army, Bian Bing was not ranked highly.

 Le Jin can do it.

Le Jin himself is famous for his courage to fight tough battles, but this does not mean that Le Jin is a fool.

　What is loyalty?

 Or to put it simply, what is the value that Cao needs?

Any member of the Cao family or the Xiahou family can laugh at Yue Jin because he does not know how to write and write, does not know the classics, and does not know how many ways to write Japanese, but when he needs to overcome difficulties, he will think of Yue Jin.

 This is the value of Lejin.

So Le Jin is such a brainless common man?

Everyone knows that Huguan is difficult to fight, so he asked Le Jin to attack Huguan, and then Le Jin led his troops to attack Huguan without saying anything.

Could it be that Le Jin didn’t know Huguan Xiongjun, or that Le Jin didn’t know how much he weighed?

neither.

 This is the value of Lejin.

If Le Jin and other generals with a foreign surname were present at the same time, Cao Cao would definitely praise the other general with a foreign surname. He would never talk about Le Jin, but keep it in his heart.

 The two characters "Lejin" represent "loyalty".

So, now Bian Bing, if he just retreats like this, he will hesitate to move forward because of some ghosts and gods...

 It makes you angry when comparing people with others, so you have to throw away goods when comparing goods.

Le Jin is at Huguan, fighting a **** battle regardless of life and death.

Then he, Bian Bing, just retreated like this?

Bian Bing held back his anger and did not roar loudly, but he stared at his one eye and his face was still a little distorted.

The pain reminded him all the time that he didn't have much time and couldn't delay, but the people in front of him didn't care.

Bian Bing had a vague feeling that there were some problems with Cao Jun's military system.

 But Bian Bing couldn't tell what the problem was.

 In fact, it’s very simple. You join the army just to make a living. For a month...

 Ahem.

 It sounds like everyone understands it, but how to solve it?

 Bian Bing looked from left to right, and from right to left.

 Bian Bing's rank is not high, so he does not have any peerless generals under him. He is basically a military commander. But don't underestimate these military commanders. These people are the key middle-level figures in commanding the army. Without these people, Bian Bing and Bian Bing's twenty-odd guards would be able to control the entire army...

Perhaps those generals from the Cao family and the Xiahou family who have certain talents in military formations and have hundreds or thousands of private soldiers can directly use their tribes to manage from top to bottom, but Bian Bing obviously cannot.

His abilities are not enough, and his bodyguards are not enough either.

So even though Bian Bing was very angry at the moment, he still suppressed it and tried his best to keep his tone from appearing irritable, "My husband is a ghost, but there is a **** in the sky!" We uphold the will of the Emperor and have received the mandate from Heaven! 』

 Bian Bing stared at his generals, Shi Jian and other military commanders, and strengthened his tone, emphasizing, "If you all work together to help each other, Bian Bing will never be in trouble!" 』

 The good words come first.

Bian Bing did not repeat what he said before about rewards. Thousands of gold and so on are attractive to ordinary soldiers, but they may not be so attractive to mid-level military academies.

 Mid-level military academies long for upward space.

Just like Bian Bing back then, he also hoped to crawl out of the mud.

“As I swear by this,” Bian Bing said solemnly, “If we win this battle! The person who ranks first in military merit will be guaranteed the position of captain of his county! 』

 The county captain is the first military attache under the county prefect. The captain of a large county is worth 2,000 shi, the average county is worth 1,000 shi, and the difference is only 800 shi.

Although Bian Bing did not say which county he was the captain of, even the worst one had an official rank of 800 shi. This naturally made the military commanders in the military tent feel excited.

Although there is only one quota, what if you are the lucky one?

Bian Bing's eye sockets were throbbing. He endured it, and then said, "Now the Hussars are rebelling, colluding with the Qiang Liang, and intending to cause chaos to the Han people again. We march forward and attack them. This is loyalty." Gaining merit in battle can honor your parents, and can provide shade to your descendants. This is filial piety. 』

　　　　The great Han Dynasty was founded on nothing more than loyalty and filial piety. Having said that, ghosts and gods should also punish those who are unfaithful and unfilial! Bian Bing said word by word, "There are rumors today that people who lie about ghosts and gods and ignore loyalty and filial piety, who are afraid of life and death and don't care about the young and old at home, are not the sons of men!" Today, General Le is in the south of Huguan, looking at me like a child looking at his parents! When we rescue him, we are like a parent saving an innocent child! If we don’t help Huguan now, who will come to help us if we are in trouble? ! 』

Bian Bing's words can be said to be the most sincere and sincere. No one in the military tent could say anything to refute, so they all accepted it.

People's pain often stimulates certain potential. Bian Bing is in great pain now, but he seems to have increased his sensitivity to the battlefield. He realizes the importance of Huguan to the entire battle, and Bian Bing feels that there were rumors that Zhang Ji was seriously injured. And the death may be just a fake, it is just a plan of Huguan Jiaqu, and Huguan can persist for such a long time, only Jiaqu can't do it, Zhang Ji must also be in Huguan!

And now in the mountain road, the harassment and sneak attacks are just to delay Bian Bing's march south. This shows that Huguan is in a tight situation at the moment!

 If Huguan is available, the entire north-south line will be opened!

Not only did Cao Jun gain an important support point, but more importantly, Cao Jun could divide and encircle the entire northern land!

 The key point of all this is at Huguan...

His eye sockets were throbbing again. Bian Bing stared at the one eye and looked at each other one by one. "Today is a day of preparation. You must make it clear to the soldiers that the trip to Huguan cannot be changed!" If after today, there are any more soldiers who disturb the morale of the army, Shichang will be killed! If Shi Chang insists on retreating, the team will kill him! If the team leads the way and retreats, Qu Chang will kill them! If Qu Chang says to retreat, the army will kill him! If the military commander retreats, someone will kill him! If someone says to withdraw..."

Bian Binglang took out his sword and struck it on the table beside him, cutting off a corner of the table, "That's it!" You should kill yourself and thank the world! 』

 The table shook and trembled...

 Everyone in the military tent was silent. After a while, everyone bowed down and worshiped, "I obey the general's order!" 』

　　　　Today, we will cook at three o’clock, eat at five o’clock, and set off at dawn! The two wings of the vanguard maintain fighting formation, and the scouts are released ten miles more! 』

　　Everybody takes orders.

 Everything seems to be well arranged and well planned.

Bian Bing took a long breath. Although some problems were solved, he still had a headache.

The military doctor came in a hurry and showed Bian Bing the injury. The injury was still not healed, but the doctor had no medicine.

"General... this herbal method... doesn't seem to be very effective..." the doctor said hesitantly and timidly, "I heard that there is a golden medicine in Chang'an Medical Center that can remove decay and build muscle... If such a medicine can be found, , the general's injury will be safe..."

 Bian Bing does not have this medicine.

His surname is Bian, not Cao.

Moreover, this kind of medicine is also banned in Chang'an and is not sold to outsiders. There are only a few on the market, and the price is sky-high. Bian Bing believed that there might be some people like Cao Cao or Xiahou Dun, but ordinary Cao generals might not have them, let alone his surname Bian.

 So, we can only continue to use herbal medicine.

Bian Bing didn't want to ask Xiahou Dun for medicine, because it was almost equivalent to owing Xiahou Dun another favor, a favor as long as his life.

Bian Bing hates owing favors to others.

 At night, everyone rested, but although Bian Bing was lying down, he could not fall asleep.

The pain was like a hook, hooking into Bian Bing's mind bit by bit, and also pulling out the memories that had accumulated in his mind. Those memories he thought he had forgotten, but in fact only part of them were hidden.

 Now, it is pulled out little by little by the hook.

 It’s New Year now…

 When he was a child, he liked New Year the most. The warm sunshine in winter, gently caressing the snow-covered earth, will also bring warmth to him. The ice ridges hanging under the eaves everywhere shone with colorful and blurry light under the sunlight. They were his favorite snacks, crunchy and crunchy.

As the New Year approaches, those vendors who are usually invisible will become active. They will appear out of nowhere, carrying burdens and shouting in long tones, hawking in the streets and shouting in long tones. The sound is like singing.

The watchdog would lie lazily next to the door of the house, staring across the front yard at everyone who passed by the door. If a familiar family member returned, he would quickly wag his tail to greet them, spin around, and pull at the hem of his clothes. By the way, he would also roar twice at the door, threatening the wild dogs following his family in the distance...

 And like a dog, he would stare longingly at the burdens carried by his family and twitch his nose to smell the fragrance inside.

At that time, he was good at studying and was praised by the gentlemen in Bianjiabao. So his father went to the salesman to exchange the coarse grains for some white flour and make him a meal of batter and soup.

His sister was not even allowed to eat. She even looked at her from a distance and was scolded to go back to the house.

That was the most delicious bowl of batter he had ever eaten in his life...

His parents hope that he can study more and shine for the Bian family.

 But this dream was finally shattered.

 When did you start to become disillusioned, and when did life become nothing but pain?

 Bian Bing is not sure.

 Perhaps starting when he couldn't read?

 Books are not that easy to read.

 He really wanted to study, but no one would let him study in vain.

In the beginning, he learned to write a few words and read a sentence or two from the scriptures, and there was no problem. Neither his husband nor the clan leader cared about him. They would even praise him and say with a smile that he was a good scholar. But when he wanted to have a I read this book, but when I actually went to study, I was told that I needed money...

 It takes a lot of money.

 Then his family couldn't even afford bacon for his husband, let alone money for books.

 So, he couldn't study.

His father believed that this was his father's fault, so in order to enable him to study more, his father quietly accepted a "big deal". As long as it was completed, there would be a sum of money that could be used for him to study...

It’s a pity that the money didn’t come back, and neither did the people.

Bian Bing didn't even know where his father died. He only heard his mother mention it occasionally. If you don't have that destiny, don't fight too much. You fight over and over again. In the end, you die fighting. After you die, you can't return to your hometown. .

 Later, Bian Bing even lost his hometown.

Because his mother was in poor health, she gave birth to several more children. As a result, except for him and his sister, none of the other children survived, and his mother was also weak due to childbirth. After his father died, The next year, while working in the field, he fell headlong into the field and never woke up.

 At that time, he didn't notice anything, and he didn't even know how long his mother had been ill, and how she managed to survive until the lamp ran dry...

　In order to hold the funeral, his sister sold herself.

　acres?

 The acres of land do not belong to his family. His family is a tenant and only has the right to use the acres but no ownership rights.

 So I can only sell myself.

Like an animal, he turns around in circles and opens his mouth as required.

His sister had a good appearance, so the conditions for the sale, his sister said, were that in addition to the funeral expenses, he was also included.

 He must be given a mouthful of food, and he must not be admitted to the elite school, otherwise he must study.

Ren Yazi smiled and said, OK.

  As a result, except for the first item, which was a simple funeral, there was nothing else.

He still has no books to read, and he has to do odd jobs in the Youth Promotion Center. If he doesn't work, he will have no food.

To this day, he still remembers the screams of the madam in the brothel. It was like the pain in his eyes, like a hook hooking his brain and pulling on his nerves.

 He was beaten all over with bruises, because he was a man, and the most important thing was that he did not want to be a prostitute, so his skin and flesh naturally did not receive any special treatment.

To avoid the stick, he hid under his sister's skirt and curled up like a skinned dog.

 Until his sister was bought by the Cao family, he also became a servant of the Cao family...

 Then the one who was beaten and scolded became his sister.

More than once, he saw his sister with scars, but smiled and gave him the letters she copied, even if the letters contained one sentence in one sentence and one sentence in the west.

 He asked his sister not to do this. His sister always said that they were the only two left in the family. If they didn’t study hard, what would they do in the future?

 Future?

 What future does a person like him have?

But looking at his sister's injured face and hands, he couldn't say anything like this. He just silently took the letter that his sister had copied for him and read it word by word, sentence by sentence. Carrying…

 Until his sister gave birth to Cao Cao's first son.

　　Not only is the mother the son, but he also became a steward and began to eat white bread buns again.

 That night, he cried.

　　He didn’t even cry when he was beaten black and blue at the Youth Youth Center, but on that day, he cried.

 He told the people around him that he was crying with joy.

 People around him also cast envious glances, but he knew that, in fact, he was not.

 He wept for his father, mother, his sister, and himself.

His father told him that only by studying can he be capable, become a useful person to the Han Dynasty, and only then can he eat white steamed buns.

His sister told him that only by studying can he have hope, have a better future, and escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

 He also worked hard to read and read under the ridicule and ridicule of others.

But now, the newly born male member of the Cao family has arrogantly pushed down and trampled all his cognitions.

 Then he burned all the scattered letters he had accumulated.

He suddenly understood that the things he once regarded as treasures were actually worthless to the Han Dynasty.

 A penny, not worth it.

　　It is worse than a belly.

 Leading the army south this time was his first attempt to prove that Bian had other abilities besides his belly. In addition to women, the Bian family also has men.

 So even though he was injured and in pain, he still endured it and gritted his teeth and persisted.

 However, for some things, persistence does not necessarily lead to good results. Just like the knight charging towards the windmill, he has courage and persistence that surpasses ordinary people, but he may not be able to have a beautiful result.

 The painful and long night finally passed, and a new day arrived.

 There began to be chaotic noises in the military camp.

The voice of the guard sounded in Bian Bing's ears, sometimes far and sometimes near.

Bian Bing tried his best to open his eyes, with an unhealthy flush on his face. The image of the guard was blurry and wavered in front of Bian Bing's eyes.

"General...you are like this..." the guard said worriedly, "do you want to send a doctor?" 』

 Although Cao Jun's doctors are just that, they are still doctors.

Just like a veterinarian, he can use some herbs and so on...

Complex thoughts, coupled with waves of throbbing pain, made Bian Bing feel as if his head was going to explode.

 Along the way, my injuries have not healed, and coupled with the fatigue of running around, it is difficult to sleep. Even a hard-working person cannot endure it.

Bian Bing gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but he felt like the world was spinning. His vision went dark and he fell down. He only heard the panicked screams of the guards beside him...

 Everything is in chaos.
