Taishici and Wang Lei returned to the Central Army tent one after another. Several soldiers came in and helped Taishici move things. After Wang Lei came to the camp, the Central Army tent was requisitioned by Wang Lei. Taishici chose the place to live again.

The soldiers carried bundles of bamboo slips and other utensils to Taishici's new tent shop and came to the new tent. After the soldiers put down the bamboo slips and other items, Taishici waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go down."

"General. This is our duty."

One of the soldiers clasped his fists and answered neither humble nor arrogantly.

After saying that, he took the rest of the soldiers away.

Taishici looked at the departing soldiers and chuckled and said, "Don't call the general again in the future. Just call the name. I am now in a state of no official position and will no longer hold any position."

The soldier walking out stopped with a puzzled look on his face.

The soldier who had just spoken asked, "General. Is there anything going on?"

Taishici shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I'm just taking a break for a while. There are too many things happening during this period. Some of them can't bear it."

Taishici laughed at himself and thought to himself: What should I say to these soldiers?

He smiled. Taishici waved his hand and said, "Let's go down."

Several soldiers left the camp. It took not long. News that Taishici no longer held any position. Soon it spread in the military camp.

Cui Puyuan was the first to arrive at Taishici's camp with a look on his face and said, "I just heard from the soldiers that you no longer hold any position. What's going on? You are not the commander of the former army. But you are still a general in the army. You are the prefect of Julu County. How can you say you will no longer hold any position?"

Taishici chuckled and said, "I quit my voluntarily. I quit all my positions and planned to take a break for a while."

Cui Puyuan frowned and felt a little disbelief.

Seeing this, Taishici had to explain: "Pu Yuan, since the beginning of Yu'er's incident, so many things have happened, which have made me tired and very tired. Therefore, I took the initiative to make a request to my lord and go to the academy in Ye County to study for a while. After a while, I will become an official again."

Cui Puyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was Wang Lei who had dismissed Taishi Ci's official position.

Think about it, Wang Lei removed the position of Taishi Ci as the commander of the former army in the camp. If he wanted to dismiss the rest of Taishi Ci's positions, he would definitely raise it together. It is impossible for him to remove Taishi Ci's other positions after the meeting.

Taishici looked ashamed and said, "Just just now, the soldiers helped me move bamboo slips and other books. I accidentally let the soldiers know. You explain it to me after you go out to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings."

Cui Puyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will explain clearly."

"Go. I'll be alone."

Taishici waved his hand, Cui Puyuan stood up and said goodbye and left the tent.

Cui Puyuan personally explained to the generals in the army. After the general understood, the people who cared about Taishi Ci were relieved. After all, Taishi Ci did not have much fault. Moreover, Taishi Ci had a very good reputation among the generals. Taishi Ci was dismissed for no reason. The generals were inevitably disobeyed.

After explaining, the morale of the army stabilized.

The news in the camp was not hidden from Shi A. After he received the news, he soon came to Wang Lei's camp.

Shi A looked respectful and reported: "The news that the lord, General Shi, no longer served as the prefect of Julu County, and the position of general in the army had a certain impact. After Cui Puyuan explained, the morale of the army had settled down."

Wang Lei nodded, but said nothing.

Shi A continued: "I suggest that with a villain's heart, General Taishi will resign and become an official again in the future. If he is not suitable to serve as a general in this army, he will not be suitable to serve as the prefect of Julu County. He can hold positions in other places."

Wang Lei laughed. Shi A’s reminder. Wang Lei understood.

If Taishici stays in Julu County again, it will inevitably lead to the dominance of his family.

In fact, in any era, the army has factions and factions in the officialdom. It is almost impossible to prevent the factions from appearing. Taishi Ci started as the prefect of Julu County and presided over the overall situation in the north of Jizhou. He took charge of the military and political power. After several years, he naturally had a group of confidants.

If Taishi Ci had been in charge for many years, he had no confidant at all. Wang Lei would have to doubt Taishi Ci's ability. From another perspective, being able to win over some people into confidants is also a kind of ability.

No matter where you go, you will not be accepted. You are destined to fail to accomplish great things.

Shi A’s suggestion is reasonable. Wang Lei has his own opinion.

Wang Lei said: "I will remember my brother's suggestion. Now you go and prepare a stone tablet. The army will set off tomorrow and arrive at the battlefield where Li You, Qin Li and others died in battle. I want to raise a mourn them. Time is a little urgent. Hurry up and finish it."

"promise."

Shi A nodded and turned around and left the tent.

...

Jixian. Outside the city.

An army was rushing on the road quickly. Unfortunately, this army was in a mess.

This army was the defeated general led by Ji Yuan.

Lu Bu led his troops to help. Ji Yuan retreated decisively and fled all the way. The soldiers fled and scattered. In the end, there were only less than 3,000 people left. However, the bodies of these three thousand soldiers were stained with blood. Many of the soldiers were even scarred. The number of soldiers was close to 3,000. However, there were very few soldiers who were truly intact.

It was really the battle last night. It was so tragic.

Whether it was the 20,000 Jizhou Army led by Qiu Hua and Qin Li, or the Youzhou Army led by Jiyuan, Gu Lie and Hong Shusi, both sides were in great harm.

Jiyuan returned to Jixian and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the towering and tall city.

Finally back.

Ji Yuan brought a group of defeated soldiers to the city tower. He looked up at the city tower and shouted: "I am Ji Yuan. Open the city gate and let us enter the city."

The lieutenant guarding the city was shocked when he saw this on the city tower.

Tens of thousands of soldiers killed out with great courage. When they came back, they were so miserable. The captain was a cautious person. He looked up at the distance in the city and saw that there was no movement in the official road in the distance. It was not like there were pursuers. He breathed a sigh of relief. Even so, the captain was still worried that the army under the city would be cheated. He also ordered the soldiers to be on guard and prepared to kill the downstairs and annihilate the "enemy" from the tower.

The captain ordered the city gate to be opened and Jiyuan's people were placed in the urn.

The army entered the urn city. Then the heavy city gate closed with a clang.

The captain saw that Ji Yuan had become a turtle in the jar in the urn, but there was no change at all. Then he felt relieved. It was obvious that this time he was really defeated, and he also lost a lot of miserable defeat.

Three thousand remaining soldiers were soon placed in the military camp after entering the city.
