He didn't know how he could escape, nor did he know why the cavalrymen did not chase him.

The cavalrymen clearly had the chance to strangle them cleanly...

Why?

However, this problem soon became his most difficult problem.

When he really escaped back to the camp, he found that escaping his life might not be a good thing.

Cao Hong met him immediately. After sternly inquiring about the situation of the war, he quickly put him under house arrest and placed him in a corner of the camp with the wounded soldiers who were sent back.

Although there was no explicit order to restrict Hu Zhi's freedom, the bad eyes of the soldiers guarding the gate of the wounded camp made Hu Zhi understand that his current situation might not be very good.

When Hu Zhi mentioned Liu Zhu's death, Cao Hong seemed very surprised, but afterwards, Hu Zhi thought about it and felt that Cao Hong's surprise at that time was not really a pity for Liu Zhu's death, but rather that Hu Zhi didn't fight to the death...

"hehe……"

Hu Zhi smiled twice with a little nervousness.

Hu Zhi now lost the majesty of the leader at that time. Not only was his armor crooked, his silk ribbons loose, his face covered in dust and mud, his hair was scattered, and his expression was dull, as if he had been humiliated by more than a dozen men for a day and a night.

『Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs.』

Hu Zhi murmured.

No one was by his side, no one listened to what he said, he seemed to comfort himself.

"We have suffered losses in these battles, but if we do not have the best, we may soon turn defeat into victory..."

"The Cavalry Army is not invincible either..."

"That thunder cannon, but that's it...

『…』

Hu Zhi muttered, and then his face twisted, "Yes, we can win... we can win..."

When he talked to himself, Hu Zhi's tone had almost choked up.

Before the war started, he kept telling Cao's soldiers that it was his turn to say these words to him.

But the effects are the same.

He had told the ordinary Cao army soldiers before that Cao army soldiers did not believe it. Now he told himself that he himself did not believe it either.

His guards were "sent to" to work.

Because Cao Hong was easily broken by Fei Qian, in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again in Anyi, he focused on strengthening his resistance to artillery and prepared to repair the earth. Because digging out civil engineering requires a lot of manpower, even some of the minor wounded soldiers in the injured camp were pulled and sent to work.

Hu Zhi still has the identity of a general, so he didn't go.

He sat alone, not sure how long it took, but finally closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep in a short while.

In his sleep, he seemed to have returned to his hometown, returned to his home, and sat in a house with solid walls on all sides. He was almost happy to shed tears. He was really fed up with living in a tent, not only leaking air, but also bugs and sand. If there was a little movement, it would be difficult to sleep, and his house was comfortable.

The house made of bricks and stones is solid and warm, and no matter the wind and rain outside, you can feel at ease in the house...

『People!Peopleple!』

Suddenly, a little panic scream broke the surrounding houses. The house he thought was brick and stone was actually made of paper, and it collapsed in a blink of an eye and started burning!

Hu Zhi sat up suddenly.

He found that he was still in this tent with a leaking air. In front of him was a terrified guard with blood on his face and a new wound was added.

"What's wrong?" Hu asked.

This plain tone surprised Hu Zhi's guards, but soon the guards said: "Master, they... they don't treat us as human beings... They came back together... They were killed on the spot... I went up to argue and was beaten like this...

Among the soldiers who fled back were Hu Zhi's troops, and there were people who were familiar with each other.

They were originally the same Cao army soldiers, and they were all comrades-in-arms. After losing, they became the targets of being despised and belittled, and they had to endure oppression...

Hu Zhi seemed to be thinking about how to do it. He rubbed his face with both hands, as if he wanted to rub the fatigue on his face, but in fact there was no effect at all.

"I only now understand why the cavalrymen didn't chase us..."

Hu Zhi said slowly.

"Why?"

The guard asked subconsciously, but after a moment he understood and became silent.

After the two were silent for a long time, Hu Zhi sighed and said, "Is there anything to eat?"

"Lord? You..." The guards became angry, "They even if you... no, I'll go find them..."

"Forget it." Hu Zhi grabbed the guard, then shook his head and smiled, "I heard that the children of Shandong said that Cao was like spring bamboo shoots. I didn't know the meaning at first, but now I finally figured it out..."

The guard asked.

Hu Zhi nodded, "Spring bamboo shoots break through the ground, they grow quickly, and they grow quickly, but... they are hollow...

"Master..." the guard asked in a low voice, "You are...

"Are you going there to get the wood?" Hu Zhi suddenly changed the subject, "The trees around here seem to be a little thinner."

The guard nodded and said, "Yes, there is no decent wood for ten miles around. There is only woodland in the southwest direction... We all went there to log..."

"Okay." Hu Zhi nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will go logging with you tomorrow."

"Lord?" The guard was stunned for a moment, "Lord, do you mean?"

Hu Zhi signaled.

The guards got closer.

Hu Zhi whispered: "Tomorrow, act according to the opportunity."

The guards widened their eyes.

"You can't see?" Hu Zhi whispered, "They don't feel at ease with us...that we think we have...so we don't give us any food, and we are desperately using it...I think when the Hussars come, we will be the first group... Do you still remember the people of Hedong who were driven away by us at that time? It's our turn now."

"We, we don't..." The guard was about to argue, but Hu Zhi covered his mouth.

Hu Zhi sighed, "Whether there is no, we have the final say."

The guard was silent for a long time, "We, then where can we go to Lord?"

『Haha... no matter there, you can't go... After escaping, escape first," Hu Zhi whispered, 『This troubled time... a person is not as good as a dog... a person is not as good as a dog... a person is not as good as a dog... survival first before talking...

At that time, Hu Zhi and the others didn't listen to what the people in Hedong shouted, so Cao Hong and others wouldn't listen to what they shouted now.
