Chapter 360: Xiahou's Retreat Post-war Handling
Xiahou Yuan and Liu Yu fought inextricably.
The snake slashing sword in Liu Yu's hand was swung impenetrable, and the tricks were very weird, and each move hit Xiahou Yuan's most uncomfortable place, which made Xiahou Yuan feel terrified.
At the beginning, Xiahou Yuan felt that Liu Yu, a person like a scholar, would have much combat power, and he could easily clean him up, Liu Yu took the initiative to send him to the door and was killed by him, and it was too late for him to be happy.
But Xiahou Yuan finally found that Liu Yu was not at all as weak as he seemed on the surface, on the contrary, Liu Yu's martial arts were ridiculously strong. Moreover, Liu Yu's weapon is very sharp, and the spear in Xiahou Yuan's hand can be regarded as a divine weapon made of refined steel, which can be slashed against Liu Yu's long sword, and it was actually knocked out of a few holes.
Of course, Liu Yu is not a wasted person who is powerless, he was taught swordsmanship by the Sword Saint Wang Yue in his early years, and even if he is in a high position now, his daily training has not been left behind. Not to mention that Liu Yu has rushed to the front in many battles, and his subordinates are also stained with blood. It's just that Liu Yu didn't make a move for a long time, causing the world to think that he was a mediocre person in martial arts.
In the final analysis, Liu Yu can only be regarded as a swordsman, and his martial arts are not at all a grade in terms of strength compared to the generals on the battlefield. was able to fight a draw with Xiahou Yuan, mainly because Xiahou Yuan was a light enemy.
Liu Yu relied on the advantage of his weapon and kept attacking Xiahou Yuan quickly.
Xiahou Yuan scolded Liu Yu in his heart for hiding deep enough, so that he was tired of dealing with it now. It's just that Xiahou Yuan also discovered Liu Yu's weakness, that is, he is very fast, and his tricks are also very tricky, but his strength is insufficient. Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan didn't care about anything else, and directly used weapons to fight Liu Yu.
Liu Yu secretly screamed a pity, he didn't kill Xiahou Yuan when he couldn't react before, and now he discovered his weakness and continued to fight, I'm afraid that defeat will not be far away.
Liu Yu wanted to retreat a little, and his moves became conservative, and as soon as Xiahou Yuan saw this posture, he knew that he had caught Liu Yu's weakness, and the strength in his hand was even more aggravated. Liu Yu had a hard time coping with it, and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Xiahou Yuan swept vigorously and knocked Liu Yu's snake sword open, Liu Yu couldn't stand Xiahou Yuan's huge force, and the door was opened all of a sudden.
"Die." Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and then pointed the spear at Liu Yu and stabbed it, as long as he was stabbed, Liu Yu would die.
And at this time, a spear blocked Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan looked at it and said in surprise: "Zhao Zilong! ”
Zhao Yun picked up Xiahou Yuan's spear, protected Liu Yu in front of him, and said to Xiahou Yuan: "It's down!" Xiahou Miaocai, last time you and I didn't tell the winner, let's make a break today. ”
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he rushed forward with a gun. Liu Yu, who had just escaped from danger, also followed.
Xiahou Yuan is in trouble, he has fought with Zhao Yun before, and he knows that Zhao Yun is powerful, plus Liu Yu is constantly looking for opportunities to take advantage of him, Xiahou Yuan feels that he has to explain here today.
Xiahou Yuan was exhausted to deal with the siege of Zhao Yun and Liu Yu, and Xiahou Yuan on the other side suddenly found that the Cao army he brought into Puyang City was almost wiped out by Liu Yu's troops, and his plan this time had completely failed.
If the plan failed, he couldn't stay here, so Xiahoudun got out of the battle with Gao Shun, and then entered Xiahou Yuan's battle group to help Xiahou Yuan get out of danger.
"Miaocai, let's go!" Xiahoudun pulled Xiahou Yuan's head and retreated without looking back. Xiahou Yuan didn't hesitate at all, and it would be very unfavorable for them to continue to fight now. The commander retreated, and the remaining Cao Jun also gave up the idea of continuing the attack and retreated with their commander.
"Chase!" Liu Yu also gave the order.
Due to the panic, Liu Yu's troops could not stop Xiahou Yuan's retreat at all, and they rushed out of Puyang City.
Liu Yu also led the troops out of Puyang City, and chased and killed the past in the direction of Xiahou Yuan's retreat.
However, because it was late at night, they couldn't see east, west, north and south clearly, so Xiahoudun and the others escaped smoothly.
"Stop! Poor Kou Mo Chase! The whole army returned to Puyang. Liu Yu couldn't see Cao Jun's figure, and hurriedly ordered the troops to stop the pursuit.
After Liu Yu returned to Puyang, the fire in the Prefecture Governor's Mansion had been extinguished, and the mansion, which originally represented the highest power in Yanzhou, was now reduced to ashes. From these ashes there were also the corpses of Liu Yu's guards, all of whom had been burned into charcoal by the fire. At the same time, Liu Yu finally knew why the State Pastoral Mansion was on fire, it turned out that Cao Jun had dug several large holes under the State Pastoral Mansion, and after the fire was extinguished, these big holes collapsed. Liu Yu checked it and knew that it must be full of explosives such as fire oil and sulfur, and there were some charred corpses not far away, which must have been the dead soldiers who Cao Jun was responsible for detonating.
The bodies of the guards were all cleaned up, and a full eighteen people died. Liu Yu's heart ached for the sacrifice of the guards, who had followed him for many years, and some of them were the first batch of guards he recruited when he was in Bo County.
"Give them a generous burial, and the bereavement pension will be given to their families every month according to their wages during their lifetime." Liu Yu felt that these guards died for themselves, so he made special arrangements.
Gao Shun also counted the casualties and came back, and said: "Lord, our army has killed more than 5,000 people and 4,000 wounded in the chaos this time. In addition, 6,000 Cao troops were killed and 2,000 were captured. How these people will be arranged, please make it known to the Lord. ”
"The casualties were nearly 10,000. This king is ashamed. Liu Yu blamed himself for causing such a huge casualty due to his carelessness.
In this era, the lord humiliates the death of the minister, Gao Shun and Zhao Yun knelt down and said: "The last general is incompetent." ”
Liu Yu was just in a heavy mood for a while, he still had a lot of things to do, and there was no time to waste any more, and said: "This time it was the king's carelessness, and it has nothing to do with you." In the future, we should take this as a lesson and not be careless. This king is worried that Cao Jun still has a conspiracy, and the whole army will start to investigate the people of the entire Puyang City from now on, and all Cao Jun's spies must be dug out, and there must be no fish that slip through the net. ”
"Yes!" Gao Shun Zhao Yun replied.
Under the arrangement of Gao Shun and Zhao Yun, Liu Yu's troops began to check the people of Puyang City, searching Puyang City inside and out.
When the people saw the soldiers coming to search, they were so frightened that they did not dare to speak. In the eyes of the people, there is no difference between soldiers and bandits, they can only be obedient in the face of the butcher's knife, just to save their lives.
Liu Yu's troops are very disciplined, they have not done anything to bully men and women, and they will not be embarrassed if they have no suspicious points. It was the first time for the people to see such a good soldier, and they slowly took the initiative to cooperate.
After two days of searching, I really found out a lot of Cao Jun's spies, and also found the secret passages secretly dug by Cao Jun, Liu Yu ordered that all these secret passages be buried and could no longer be used by Cao Jun.
