Chapter 352: Panicked Liu Xuan
Sun Jian was angry and Yan, and Baihu threatened himself with his parents. But he couldn't help it.
After all, the situation is on Yan Baihu's side at this time, and what Yan Baihu said is not wrong, he is just a water thief in other people's mouths, it doesn't matter what to do, unlike Sun Jian, who is trapped by righteousness, they have to follow some rules in everything they do.
"Talk about something slowly, talk about it slowly, you put down the knife first!"
There was no way, Sun Jian and Sun Jing were both confused by Yan Baihu's move, and they didn't dare to stimulate Yan Baihu, so they could only stabilize Yan Baihu first.
"Well, this is just like words, it's not in vain for me, I tried my best to break into this Fuchun City and arrest your parents."
Yan Baihu saw Sun Jian and Sun Jing brothers so obedient, and the expression on his face was also very enjoyable, after all, this feeling of being able to suppress Sun Jian steadily was still very useful to Yan Baihu.
Although Yan Baihu has no hatred with Sun Jian, Yan Baihu also knows that this is only a superficial thing, because Yan Baihu occupies Wucheng County, and Sun Jian's title is Wucheng Hou.
The Hou of Wucheng is the Hou Ye of Wucheng County, and the taxes of the entire Wucheng County are to be handed over to Sun Jian, the Hou Ye.
But now that the money and grain in Wucheng County are in the hands of Yan Baihu, can Sun Jian endure this breath?
I can endure it now, and it is also because Sun Jian's current ability is not enough to suppress Yan Baihu, and when Sun Jian has strength, Sun Jian will definitely use this as an excuse to crusade against Yan Baihu at that time.
This is Liu Zheng's excuse for moving Yan Baihu and taking the initiative to deal with Sun Jian.
It is precisely because of this that Yan Baihu wants to use Sun Jian's parents as a coercion to force Sun Jian to deal with Liu Jian and break the cooperation between Sun Jian and Liu Jian from the outside.
Without Sun Jian's help, Liu Jian's strength will be greatly reduced, and at the same time, Sun Jian, who has lost Liu Jian's support, is naturally not worried.
Liu Zheng killed him with this hand, and he played beautifully.
Don't talk about the affairs of Fuchun County, just talk about Liu Zheng at this time.
Because Sun Jian led his soldiers and horses to leave, the only people left in the vicinity were those led by Fan Neng.
Although Fan Neng brought 20,000 people over at the beginning, after the first battle, only 10,000 people remained.
These 10,000 people could not continue to attack Liu Zheng's men and horses, they could only hold on, and even after Sun Jian left, Fan Neng himself was not sure that he could deal with Liu Zheng, and he was hesitating in his heart, whether to leave directly, return to Huiji City, and report to Liu Xuan.
But just when Fan Neng was still hesitating whether to continue to stay here or lead the soldiers and horses back to Huiji City, Liu Zheng had already led the soldiers and horses and killed them.
Without Sun Jian, there was only one Fan Neng left, and Liu Zheng would not have any scruples at all, he asked Gan Ning and Wen Ping to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to surround the left and right, and then ordered Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to lead the rest of the people to charge from the front.
With such a three-sided combined attack tactic, Fan Neng was caught off guard, and even some did not slow down, and could only choose to retreat when Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses besieged him.
He didn't have the heart to confront Liu Zheng from the beginning, so when Liu Zheng came to attack him, he could only choose to evacuate here.
And Liu Zheng also took advantage of the situation to pursue, killing the soldiers under Fan Neng's command, and at the same time letting his people move towards the direction of Huiji City.
Soon Fan Neng's people were driven to the vicinity of Huiji City, but Fan Neng's people, after all, were also local soldiers in Yangzhou, and they were more familiar with the terrain and mountain roads than Liu Zheng, and they were faster than Liu Zheng's manpower when they ran, and it didn't take long for them to return to Huiji City.
When Liu Zheng was still chasing behind, Fan Neng had already led the remaining thousands of soldiers and fled back to Huiji City.
In Liu Miao's mansion, Liu Miao heard the heralds outside report the battle situation to him.
When he heard the herald tell him that Fan Neng was back, but he only brought back a few thousand remnants, more than 20,000 people, and suffered heavy casualties, Liu Xuan's whole face was not good-looking, and he stood up from his seat in surprise.
"What! Fan Neng, that bastard wiped out my army of 20,000? ”
"I didn't ...... No, my lord, there are more than 4,000 people left. ”
"More than 4,000 people? Lao Tzu's 20,000 troops were handed over to him to take out, and he brought me 4,000 people back? What about Liu Zheng? Did you kill Liu Zheng? ”
Although he was surprised by the heavy losses of the soldiers and horses, Liu Miao was not frightened by this news, but was only a little surprised. After all, these soldiers and horses are all the elite under his command, and some die and some less.
The herald did not dare to squeak.
"Why don't you speak?"
Liu Miao looked at the herald's embarrassed look, and vaguely had a bad feeling.
"My lord, I don't know, you better let General Fan Neng come and tell you in person."
The herald didn't dare to tell Liu Miao the news, he was really afraid that after Liu Miao heard the news, he would be angry and cut him directly with a sword.
Liu Miao was right when he heard it, anyway, Fan Neng had already come back, so let him come over to see him in person and tell him in person.
"Well, then let this guy Fan Neng come and see me now."
"Yes."
The herald breathed a sigh of relief and immediately left to pass on Fan Neng to come over.
It didn't take long for Fan Neng to come over from outside with a helpless face.
Seeing Fan Neng, the expression on Liu Xuan's face was a little more relaxed, although Fan Neng's body was embarrassed, but fortunately, everything was fine, and there was no injury, which made Liu Xuan think that this battle should not be too bad.
"Fan Neng, you won't come to see me when you come back, how is this battle, did you defeat Liu Zheng's bastard?"
"Big ...... My lord, we have failed, we have failed. ”
Fan Neng hesitated, but in the end, he still had to face Liu Xuan's inquiry, so he could only answer hard.
"Failed? What failed? ”
Fan Neng's tone immediately made Liu Miao a little ugly, and his face immediately turned wrong.
"We were defeated by Liu Zheng, and the 20,000 army suffered heavy losses, and I finally fled back to Huiji City with the rest of the soldiers and horses!"
"What!"
As soon as Liu Miao heard Fan Neng's words at this time, he couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately his face changed violently, and he stared at Fan Neng incredulously.
"You...... You repeat! ”
"We ...... All of us were defeated by Liu Zheng? No...... Impossible! We and Sun Jian's soldiers and horses combined, but...... But there are as many as 40,000 people, so Liu Zheng is only 20,000 people, how can he fail! ”
Liu Jian couldn't believe that Sun Jian and Fan Neng's joint efforts to encircle and suppress Liu Zheng would actually fail!
