The sky was as dark as ink, the moon and the stars disappeared, everything between the sky and the earth fell into darkness, only the surface of the water of the water was shining with dark light.

On the bank of the water, the Wu and Han army camps.

The soldiers were all resting, and the daytime battle consumed too much energy. The army failed to fight under Yangquan City and suffered heavy losses. Deng Feng took advantage of the victory to advance and wanted to break through the Wuhan Army camp. He failed to succeed in the battle for half a day, so he led his troops to retreat. The soldiers who had fought for a day were able to rest.

The entire camp was in darkness, and the camps were like large cemeteries, and the dome tents were like dense graves. There was also the bloody smell of war left behind in the air, and the swallowing and crying from unknown corners, and the ghostly night cries, which were breathtaking. All the uneasiness, sorrow and fear were dormant in the night.

In the darkness, Wu Han's big tent seemed particularly prominent. The lights were brightly lit here, and people came and heard the voices that lowered their voices from time to time. More than a dozen senior generals gathered here, anxiously waiting for news from the Grand Sima Wu Han.

The medical officer was busy in and out, sometimes asking for boiling water, sometimes asking for a handkerchief, sometimes cleaning the wound, throwing out the red white cloth, and the blood stains on it were shocking.

In an extremely uneasy atmosphere, someone said, "This is a bit like a woman giving birth!" Then he laughed awkwardly, showing that this was just a joke. However, this inappropriate joke obviously did not resonate with everyone, but was disgusted by everyone, and the generals present glared at him.

In this tense and breathless atmosphere, time seemed particularly long. The long night made the generals exhausted, which was even more exhausting than the daytime battle. It was not until the east showed a glimmer of dawn that a medical officer came out and said, "The Grand Sima woke up and fell asleep again. It should be fine for the time being. Please go back to the camp to rest!"

All the generals breathed a sigh of relief. The Grand Sima was not dead and he was still alive. Although he could not get up now, the backbone of the army was still there, and the team would not collapse.

I had just let go of my heart after I felt tired and the tide came. The generals instructed the medical officers and guards to take good care of the Grand Sima and let the archery captain Wang Shang stay to deliver the message, so they all went back to the camp to rest.

But they only closed their eyes and glanced at it. It was already dawn and drums were loud outside the camp. Deng Feng sent troops to attack again. The generals had to force themselves to fight and drag their tired bodies to meet the enemy.

Deng Feng's army had just won a great victory, and his morale was like a rainbow, and the sound of killing shocked the sky. After fighting for most of the day, they achieved results at noon. They made a great effort to break through the two outpost camps in the south of Yangquan City. One of the guards could not resist and surrendered directly, causing the soldiers of the army to suffer a heavy mental blow, and the morale in the army was already very low.

The fight outside was tense and fierce, but Wu Han in the tent suddenly woke up.

Wang Shang, the archery captain who had been by his side, said in surprise: "Sima, you are awake!"

Wu Han's situation is quite miserable.

At that time, he fell heavily from the horse, but he could barely bear it. The most fat and strong horse was pressing on him. The huge pressure caused him to break one leg, probably several flank bones. As for whether he had crushed any internal organs, it was impossible to judge, but judging from the fact that he vomited blood in his mouth later, his body must have suffered serious damage.

The medical officer even thought he could never wake up again. Last night, Wu Han had walked back and forth at the gate of hell. Thanks to his hard life, he survived.

According to the medical officer's judgment, if the Grand Sima was resting properly, there was still a high possibility of recovery. As for the extent to which he could recover, it depends on his own physical foundation.

Wu Han opened his eyes, his eyes dissipated, and he looked into the air blankly. Wang Shang felt that he was not looking at him, but looking at the top of the tent through himself.

Finally, Grand Sima's eyes found the focus, his eyes were on Wang Shang's face, and he asked, "What's the sound outside?"

Wang Shang had tears in his eyes and said, "Da Sima, don't worry, it's important to keep a good body."

Wu Han seemed not to hear his answer and asked, "Is it the enemy coming?"

Wang Shang lowered his head, "Grand Sima, it was Deng Fengjun who was attacking the camp."

Hearing Deng Feng's name, Wu Han pursed his lips and gently spit out two words: "Little thief!"

He turned his head, as if listening to the killing sounds outside, and asked again after a while: "How is the battle?"

"It is said that two outposts were lost, and Deng Feng's offensive was very fierce... The soldiers all thought you, you..."

"Do you think I'm dead?" Wu Han squeezed out a sneer, "Don't worry, Wu didn't die so easily... help me up!"

Wang Shang stood there without moving. He looked at Wu Han who was almost broken and said stutteringly: "Da Sima, you, you should lie down!"

"This is a military order!" Wu Han said sternly: "Do you want to disobey?"

This sentence seemed to have taken a lot of effort from him. Wu Han gasped, coughed a few times, and spit out a mouthful of blood and phlegm.

Wang Shang did not dare to disobey, and helped Wu Han up with another servant.

From lying on the bed to sitting up, this simple movement seemed to exhaust Wu Han's strength. He tried hard to straighten his body, and his hands were trembling because of the pain.

"Putting armor!" Wu Han squeezed these two words out of his throat, as if he was a dying beast's roar.

Wang Shang and others spent a lot of effort to put on Wu Han’s breastplate and a long red cloak for him to cover his heavily bandaged body.

"Prepare horses! I want to patrol the camp!"

Wu Han's order is unquestionable, with his usual strength.

The Wuhan camp has undergone several rounds of attacks and is in danger. The generals are supervising the battle at the forefront of the position, urging the soldiers to fight hard.

Morale is invisible and intangible, but it can be clearly reflected in the combat state. The Wu Han Legion, which originally belonged to a strong army, is short of not soldiers, weapons, or even food and grass at this time, but morale.

From senior generals to ordinary soldiers, everyone was in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in powerless, and the entire army was in panic and the army had no desire to fight.

The most important reason for this is not yesterday's big defeat.

Wu Han army often defeated wars. He was not an ever-winning general, but he could always win a key victory after setbacks, because no matter when, Wu Han would never be discouraged. He seemed to be always full of strength. Even if he was defeated, he would be passionate and full of energy. With his extraordinary confidence and high fighting spirit, he inspires his subordinates to continue fighting. Under his leadership, the soldiers would never give up easily. They believed that as long as the Grand Sima was there, they would eventually win the final victory.

The Grand Sima Wu Han is the backbone of the entire army and the courage of the entire army. As long as he is there, the army will be full of fighting spirit and courage.

But yesterday Wu Han was seriously injured. The soldiers of the army watched him being carried into the tent and never appeared again. Even when the war reached the most intense time, the Grand Sima did not show up. Therefore, many people speculated that the Grand Sima was dead.

The unclear life and death of Wu Han is the main reason why the army has no desire to fight, because their courage is broken and their spiritual pillar collapses.

Only those core senior generals knew the truth. They knew that Wu Han was still struggling on the verge of life and death. They knew that even if he could survive, he didn't know when he would return to the battlefield. There was even a high possibility that the Grand Sima would say goodbye to the battlefield.

Various rumors spread everywhere, and an uneasy atmosphere enveloped the entire army. Where did the soldiers still have the intention to fight? If this state continues, it will be a matter of time before the army collapses. Several senior generals have discussed several times in private whether to withdraw now and return to Shouchun to repair it.

But withdrawing troops is not that simple. In the current situation, it is likely to turn into a complete defeat.

The army was in this state, and its combat effectiveness dropped sharply. Under the fierce attack of the enemy, loopholes appeared everywhere, and they were only supported by fortifications.

At this time, the sound of drums suddenly came from the camp. This was the attacking war drum. The drums were vigorous and vigorous, urging the soldiers to rise up, rush out, and launch an attack on the enemy.

General Zhenwei Song Deng frowned and said, "Who is beating the drum? Why did you order attacks at will without military orders?"

The generals looked at each other, and no one knew what was going on, and they couldn't help but look back.

Suddenly someone shouted: "It's the Grand Sima!"

"The Grand Sima is here!"

"He is still alive and still riding a horse. Grand Sima is fine!"

Wu Han was wearing a red cloak and sat straight on the horse's back as usual. His face was cold and his expression was firm, as if he had never doubted victory.

As Wu Han approached on his horse, the soldiers went from surprise to joy, and the soldiers of the army cheered like tsunami: "Grand Sima!"

"It was the Grand Sima who ordered the attack!"

"Run!"

"rush!"

The soldiers opened the door and rushed out of the camp. More than 10,000 Youzhou cavalry swept towards the enemy like a whirlwind. Infantrymen followed behind, holding swords and guns, and shouting and killing sounds shook the earth.

Deng Fengjun, who had been smooth sailing, did not expect the enemy to suddenly break out. He retreated step by step and retreated all the way back to Yangquan City and closed the city to defend himself.

By the time sunset, the Wu Han army had recovered the lost camp and advanced to the city of Weiyangquan.

Wu Han rode his horse in the camp and ordered a large-scale attack, winning a battle, and he slowly returned to the tent. At this time, he was already shaking on his horse. Wang Shang and others hurried forward, helped him off the horse, and carried him back into the tent.

Wu Han lay on the bed, tilted his head and spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

When the generals returned to the camp with great victory, they came to the tent happily. When they saw this scene, their hearts suddenly became sank again.

The medical officer stepped forward and said, "Generals, Grand Sima's situation is not good and very dangerous. He can no longer be allowed to work like this!"

Wu Han woke up at night and immediately asked the generals to come to the tent to discuss matters. He clearly issued an order: "General Zhenwei Song Deng set out in advance to open the way for the army. The Captain Wang Shang cut off the rear, and the entire army drove the camp and returned to Shouchun!"

In the early morning, in Yangquan City.

Deng Feng received a report from the scout that there were any abnormal movements in the Wu Han army. Deng Feng immediately ordered the entire army to reorganize and prepare for war and attack at any time.

Half an hour later, the exact news came, and the Wu Han army boarded the ship and set off, withdrew from the way forward!

"I won a great victory yesterday, and withdrew my troops today. There must be changes in the camp." Deng Feng sneered: "Wu Han is dead!"

Deng Feng immediately ordered his troops to divide into two groups, one to go east from land to attack halfway along the Huai River, and he personally led the other route to attack the Wu Han army camp.

At noon, Deng Feng's army captured the camp outside the city, and built a Wuhan Shooting Captain Wang Shang, who threw away thousands of corpses, and led the remaining troops to board the warship. The Wu and Han army went downstream and quickly withdrew to Shouchun. Halfway through the way, he was ambushed by strong crossbows on both sides of the straits, and the generals were damaged, but finally broke through the obstruction and returned to Shouchun City in one day.

Wu Han was carried into the city, and Liu Shang, the general of Wuwei who was stationed in Shouchun, came to pay a visit immediately. Wu Han held this tone along the way, as if he wanted to meet his deputy. He handed over Fu Jie to Liu Shang and handed over the command of the 100,000 army.

The last sentence Wu Han said in this life seemed to be directed at Liu Shang, or to himself. He said with difficulty: "Deng Feng is not worthy of this person..."

In September of the sixth year of Jianwu, Grand Sima Wu Han was seriously injured and died in Shouchun's army.

Duan Zhi, the general of the tower ship who had been besieging Anfeng, received the order to withdraw the troops and immediately led his army to the east. Dong Xin, the general who was defending Anfeng, raised an army to pursue him. Duan Zhi fought and left. Unexpectedly, when he entered the river, he was ambushed by Deng Feng's army and defeated in a fierce battle. Most of the army and horses were lost, and all the supplies were lost, and he fled back to Shaopi in a panic.

It turned out that after the Wu and Han army withdrew, Deng Feng all started to catch up with the warships, and suddenly headed south at the junction of Huai River and the Bing River, blocked Duan Zhi's retreat, and attacked Dong Xin on both sides, defeating Duan Zhi. However, their ships were insufficient and they failed to wipe out the enemy's entire army.

In this battle, Duan Zhijun's baggage was obtained, hundreds of ships and tens of stones of military rations were obtained. Deng Feng's army's strength was greatly improved, and its military power was boosted in Huainan.

Deng Feng's army appeared in the Shaopi area, attacked the enemy, collected grain and grass, and fought smoothly.

That day, he suddenly received a letter from General Xia Yang, the Great General of the East, requesting that General Wu return to Runan, the two armies attack Cen Peng, recover Runan, and connect the two armies.

Dong Xin said: "If Runan is in a mistake, our army will have no way out. I hope the general will return and fight Runan again so that our army will not be alone here."

"What way to retreat when our army is so powerful?" Deng Feng smiled and said, "To the north, Shouchun is just around the corner, and to the south, Hefei alone has no help. We are just doing our best to pacify Huainan and establish unparalleled achievements. How can we return to the army and miss this great opportunity?"

The battle situation at this time was very complicated. The Han Dynasty intervened, and you were me and I was you. Deng Fengjun threatened Shouchun and Hefei to contact, Cen Peng isolated Xia Yang and Deng Feng, while Liu Hong, who was in Hefei and Zhao Xi, who was in Lujiang, were sandwiched between Deng Feng and Ma Yuan.

Deng Feng refused to return to the army, so he had his own reason to connect Liu Shang, Liu Hong, Zhao Xi and others in Shouchun. As for Runan, he could only rely on Xia Yang and Yang Yanshou to support him, or the court sent reinforcements from Luoyang or Nanyang.

At this time, Liu Xiu had personally led a large army to Hanoi due to the tense war in Chenliu. On that day, he was in the official office and suddenly felt frightened and was feeling uncomfortable. Suddenly, the battle report came to Huainan.

Liu Xiu had an ominous premonition. He nervously opened the war report, but it was written by Liu Shang.

Liu Xiu's hand holding the war report suddenly shook and overturned a bowl of water on the table. The general Wang Ba, the enemy general who was beside him, and the cavalry commander Zang Gong looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

But Liu Xiu picked up another memorial on the table. The book was wet with water and the handwriting was different in depth. It was Wu Han's last pen.

"I dare not cherish myself. I really hate that I am not accusing myself of my duties, and that I am defeated and humiliated the country. I think the court is ashamed. I cannot follow Your Majesty to serve Your Majesty again. I hope that Your Majesty will pacify the small people and tell the ministers that they will be in peace."
