"The second brother will wait, and the third brother will capture this enemy general."

For some reason, Zhang Fei didn't kill Xia Houlan, and after more than ten meetings, he seized the gap when Xia Houlan was breathing, dodged and dismounted and turned behind Xia Houlan, and knocked Xia Houlan unconscious with one blow.

"Xia Houlan has been captured by someone... The one who descends dies in the face. ”

As Xiahoulan was captured by Zhang Feisheng, the scattered voices of resistance were quickly wiped out.

"Uncle! Why don't you kill this person? ”

Familiar with Zhang Fei's temperament, seeing that Zhang Fei did not kill the killer and turned out to be an enemy general, Guan Ping was a little curious.

"This person's name is Xiahou Lan, although he is young, but he is extraordinary, he is a loyal and brave person, if he kills... It's a pity. ”

Speaking of the comatose Xia Houlan, when he came to Guan Yu and Guan Ping, Zhang Fei had a slight smile on his face... explained.

If you can subdue this person... There will be one more pillar under the command of the eldest brother.

……

The fire was relentlessly spreading, and countless corpses were burned to char... The air was filled with blood, scorching... Vomiting smell.

The fighting continued until the early morning, and as a drizzle fell, Bowangpo gradually returned to its former tranquility, but... The endless scorched earth will take many years to recover.

"After this battle, the name of Zhuge should be sung and spread all over the world, and those who listen to it are afraid, and those who hear it are shocked..."

At the edge of the southern section of Bowangpo, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Guan Ping, Liu Feng, and Zhou Cangzhu stood on top of a low bluestone, looking at the battlefield of annihilation in the distance... A little distracted whispered.

"The wisdom of the military advisor is unpredictable... Bowangpo caught fire, and it was not only the tens of thousands of Cao soldiers that were burned... It has brought a ray of vitality to the general trend of the world. ”

"Big brother has the help of military advisors... Revival of the Han family is expected! ”

……

"Pass a certain military order, the army will return immediately, this great victory... Let the advisor know early. ”

Under the summer rain, 5,000 soldiers of Liu Beijun escorted about 3,000 captured Cao Jun with the power of victory... Return to Wancheng the same way.

The smoke of gunpowder in this world, at this moment... It became thicker again.

……

Bowang City.

After Li Dian and Han Hao survived and returned to Bowang City, although the situation inside and outside Bowang City was stabilized, because of Zhang Fei's fire, the rations of Cao's 100,000 army in March were completely burned, and not only that... Nearly seventy percent of the weapons and equipment transported with it were destroyed as a result.

The surplus grain collected from all over the city alone was barely enough for tens of thousands of people to feed for a day.

"Mancheng... So far, how is it good! ”

Bowangcheng County Mansion, Han Hao's expression was solemn, and he asked Li Dian with a headache.

Not long after he came back, he had already seen dozens of generals at all levels, although these generals had a lot of cover-ups, but Han Hao could still see the panic in the eyes of these generals... Fear of all kinds of emotions.

"Now that the food supply has been cut off, the only way to do this is to withdraw the troops, but..."

Looking at each other, Li Dian and Han Hao were full of uneasiness.

Not to mention the loss of soldiers, even Xiahoudun is uncertain about life and death... If the troops are withdrawn, once the news of the defeat reaches back to Xudu, how angry the prime minister will be...

Will Cao Cao remember the old love and save them from death?

Li Dian didn't know, and Han Hao didn't know.

"General... Checkmate...

General Xiahou and General Yu Ban have returned, and now they are outside the city. ”

Just as the two of them hesitated, they only heard a guard outside the hall running in quickly, looking happy.

"General Xiahou? But General Xiahoulan. ”

Hearing the words of the guard, Li Dian's expression moved, and his mood fluctuated.

Xia Houlan's words of death, I'm afraid that this life will be engraved in his Li Dian's mind... If such a person really dies there, it can only be said that this world is too unfair.

"No, it's not General Xiahoulan, it's General Xiahou."

"It's General Xiahoudun who is back!"

There was a silence in the hall for a while, and I saw Li Dian and Han Hao with happy faces, and hurriedly went outside the city to greet them.

……

The commander of an army is the soul of an army.

As the chief general of the 100,000 army, Xiahoudun talked about strength, prestige, status, and power... are much taller than Li Dian and Han Hao.

Thus... Li Dian and Han Hao worked hard to stabilize the situation, and from the moment Xiahoudun returned, there were earth-shaking changes.

"You see... That is, that was General Xiahoudun and General Yu Ban... General Xiahou and General Yu Ban returned. ”

"General Xiahou is still alive... Still alive!! ”

"General Xiahou... General Xiahou"

……

After the countless Cao soldiers on both sides of Bowang City recognized Xiahoudun and fell into silence for a short time, they burst out with an unparalleled shout, the cloud of defeat in the battle... It seems to be gradually dissipating.

"General Xiahou!"

"Rules"

Li Dian and Han Hao came over, and when they saw that the people in front of them were really Xiahou and Yu Ban, they immediately turned over and stepped forward.

"Mancheng, Yuanhei, thank you for your hard work!"

After experiencing this war, Xiahoudun's momentum became more restrained and steady, although his body was full of trauma... But in the eyes of the soldiers, it seems that it is more worthy of entrustment and follow.

"Soldiers, this war... We failed, but... It's not about you. It's all because Ben will... was too conceited, underestimated the enemy, and fell for Liu Bei's tricks, causing tens of thousands of my sons to die unjustly to Bowangpo... Ben will be ashamed of them, and of their elders. ”

"But... This will not end here. Blood feud... Only blood can be repaid, Ben will swear... When we come here again, we are bound to kill Liu Beijun... To comfort the souls of tens of thousands of soldiers.

If there is a day, wait... But you still want to follow me! ”

"Swear to follow the general..."

"Swear to follow the general..."

"Kill Liu Beijun... Blood Debt and Blood Payment!! ”

"Kill Liu Beijun... Blood Debt and Blood Payment!! ”

……

An endless roar shook the small city, and at this moment... It doesn't matter what the tens of thousands of soldiers in Bowang City once had about Liu Bei.

Because they... From today onwards, they have completely stood on opposite sides, and both sides are destined to... Never die.

"General... You..."

Hearing Xiahoudun's words, Li Dian and Han Hao immediately understood what Xiahoudun meant, and immediately blocked in front of them.

"You don't have to persuade anymore, the general has made up his mind, and he has ordered the army... After a short rest, the original route was withdrawn to Runan. This victory or defeat, I personally asked the prime minister for guilt! ”

Looking at the solemn expressions of Li Dian and Han Hao, Xiahoudun did not hesitate at all, and ordered... Then he went into the city.

Since you have made up your mind, you must always implement it, even if you are stranded in Nanyang... There will be no change in the current battle situation, and it will even affect... The prime minister's future layout.

……

On June 26, the thirteenth year of Jian'an, the result of the Battle of Bowang was like a storm that swept through the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, silencing the princes of the world.

The side that thought it would win turned out to be the losing side at the moment; I thought it would be at least a protracted stalemate... It came to an end in just two days.

Cao's army lost more than 43,000 people killed in the battle, and as many as 3,000 were captured... More than half of the generals were lost, and Liu Beijun lost only more than 1,500 people, for Cao Jun... It was a big defeat, but for Liu Beijun, who had no more than 20,000 soldiers... It can be called an unprecedented victory.

……

"Defeated! Xiahoudun's 100,000 army was defeated! ”

The first to learn the results of the battle of Bowang was not the distant Xudu, nor the city of Xiangyang, which was separated by a river, but by Zhang Yong... Peng Yi, Wei Yan and others who paid attention to Bowang early.

Looking at the figure of the scout who came to report to the retreat, the civil and military forces in Nanxiang City fell into a deep shock.

With only the 8,000 elites of Wancheng, Liu Xuande actually played a headwind game, destroying tens of thousands of Cao troops with one sentence, forcing Xiahoudun to withdraw to Runan.

"Dadudu, is this really Zhuge Liang's means?"

It's not that everyone doesn't believe it, it's really that Zhuge Liang is too young, and he is the top as soon as he appears, and everyone is really difficult to accept.

"Except for Zhuge Liang, what do you think... Who else under Liu Bei's command can do this. Wolong and phoenix... It is not a vacuum. ”

Zhang Yong also knew that it was difficult for everyone to accept, and he didn't explain too much on this issue, so he couldn't praise a person he had never seen too much.

"But... After this battle, the real big war is probably coming, Xiahoudun lost his troops in the hands of Liu Xuande, Cao Cao may not be able to sit still, next... Jing Xiang will not only face the 100,000 elites commanded by Xiahoudun, but the hundreds of thousands of tiger and wolf troops commanded by Cao Cao himself. ”

The 100,000 elites of Commander Xiahoudun may have a good foundation in the source of soldiers, but most of them have never experienced a battle formation... Train recruits for about a year, not those veterans who followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and the north and settle in the Central Plains.

The volume of the two is naturally incomparable.

"Yongyan, Wen Chang, order to go down, withdraw the scouts, soldiers and horses near the Cao army's city, shrink with all your strength, and use the scouts and shadows that can be mobilized in your hands... Sprinkle all of them to Xiangyang, from today on... All the wind and grass about Xiangyang, I must know it as soon as possible. ”

……

Xiangyang, the state pastoral house.

In Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang... After a group of civil and military officials entered the state pastoral mansion, the surrounding area of the state pastoral mansion was immediately under martial law.

In the mansion, Liu Biao was supported by several maids... Dragged the severely ill stump slowly snuggled on the couch, and from time to time there were a few dull, painful coughing and wheezing sounds.

Looking at the appearance of Liu Biao above, the left and right civil and military... For a while, there were sneers, worried, and indifferent... Of course, what these people are most curious about at the moment is that Liu Biao will summon them at this time.

"It seems to be... It's all here! ”

I don't know how long it took, when Liu Biao's breathing slowly calmed down, I only heard Liu Biao's voice say hoarsely.

"My lord! It's all here! But I don't know what is the important thing that the Lord has called us today? The lord's condition has just improved, and he still needs to recuperate, there are some things... The lord can send someone to give an order. ”

On the left, several of Liu Biao's diehards looked up at Liu Biao's old, dull face, and responded with worried expressions.
