Chapter 693: Ordered to Suppress Thieves
"My lord, this time we won a complete victory, annihilating thirty or forty thousand opponents, which can be regarded as directly repelling the enemy army!"
Xu Huang finally raised his eyebrows this time, and at the cost of his own loss of 2,000 people, he annihilated the tripartite alliance of Liu Bei, Gongsun Zhan, Chen Wang and Liu Chong, more than 30,000 people.
Liu Bei, who was directly beaten, retreated twenty miles from outside Huainan City.
Xu Huang has never been so happy.
But he was happy, and Liu Zheng, who returned to the city, did not have any joy on his face.
It seems that in this big battle, Liu Zheng took the lead and killed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Liu Bei in one fell swoop, forcing Liu Bei and others to retreat, not daring to continue the siege.
But in fact, this time Xu Huang's cavalry appeared, such a powerful cavalry, the stirrup that Liu Zheng had been hiding before, it is estimated that it will not be able to hide it after this battle.
If these dead and wounded cavalry are picked up by people who have a heart on the battlefield, especially Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the White Horse Yicong, once he learns of the existence of stirrups.
You will definitely understand the role of the stirrup, especially once Gongsun Zhan's white horse has a stirrup, the enemy's cavalry will become even more powerful.
This is not very good news.
Of course, the stirrup has been studied by Liu Zheng for several years, and it has not been discovered for several years, and this matter cannot be concealed forever, sooner or later they will be aware of it.
Now it's just a little ahead of schedule, but being able to inflict such serious injuries on Liu Bei's people is also a good deal for Liu Zheng.
He was just worried that once the horse pedal was known to the enemy, and the other cavalry were also equipped with the horse pedal, the advantage of his cavalry would not be so obvious.
However, sooner or later, the horse pedal will be known to them, and now that the cavalry under Liu Zheng has been trained for such a long time, it must not be too inferior to the cavalry under the other princes, even if they know the role of the horse pedal, the two sides are in a five-five situation.
There is no need to let Liu Zheng worry too much about this.
"Although we will directly repel Liu Bei this time, Liu Bei's plan to flood Huainan City should not change, but will speed up as soon as possible."
Liu Zheng took the initiative to repel the siege of Liu Bei and others this time, but in fact, he was also forced to make an advance response plan because he didn't want Liu Bei to flood Huainan City.
To be honest, he really didn't want to fight Liu Bei in such a situation, but since it had already begun, he wouldn't hesitate.
It's just that what made his face ugly all the time was that in this battle, he never saw Lu Zhi, the general of the cavalry.
Judging from the news from the Jinyi guards under his command, Liu Zheng had known a long time ago that Lu Zhi and Liu Bei Gongsun Zan had gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and went directly south to Huainan County.
But it's been a few days, and Liu Zheng has been looking out from the city tower, but he has only seen Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan's people.
At first, Liu Zheng always thought that King Chen's troops were Lu Zhi's, but now after a big battle, he realized that if it was Lu Zhi's soldiers and horses, they would not be defeated so easily.
So Liu Zheng has been pondering in his heart at this time, where did Lu Zhi, the general of the chariot cavalry, go?
"By the way, when the lord went out of the city to fight at the West City Gate, I also captured an important general of the other party."
Xu Huang saw Liu Zheng's solemn expression, but he remembered that he still had a prisoner under him.
"Who are the important generals?"
Liu Zheng also put these troublesome things behind for the time being, and asked Xu Huang's words.
Xu Huang tilted his head, and then waved outside the house.
"Bring people in!"
Soon, someone outside carried Chen Wang and Liu Pet, who had already been tied up and couldn't move, in.
and pulled out the stuff in Liu Pet's mouth.
Liu Pet, who had been whining and unable to speak, was able to regain a little freedom at this time.
"I still have some respect for you Yellow Turban Army, I didn't expect you to treat the Han clan like this, no wonder you are just a group of anti-thieves! It's never going to be a big deal! ”
has been tied up for a long time, and he has not been treated well as a captive, and he has been abused like this, even if Chen Wang Liu has a good temper, he has been a little irritable after a few tosses.
Liu Zheng saw that this person was a little interested, so he asked directly.
"Are you, brother?"
"Lao Tzu is King Chen and Liu Pet!"
Liu Pet was still a little arrogant, but at this time, he was kicked up by Xu Huang.
Liu Pet, who originally wanted to shout a few words, immediately became honest, and immediately had the appearance that he should have as a prisoner.
"King Chen, Liu Pet!"
Liu Zheng muttered the name carefully.
I didn't have much of an impression, because King Chen Liu Chong's reputation in history was not great, and he died too early, and there were no sensational incidents, so relying on the memory of the previous life, Liu Zheng really didn't know that there was such a person.
However, Liu Zheng is not completely unheard of Liu Chong, Liu Chong has risen in Yuzhou in recent years, becoming the largest prince in Yuzhou, and even faintly surpassing the strength of Yuzhou Assassin History.
It is very close to Yangzhou, and it has long been the focus of Jinyiwei.
"I didn't expect you to be King Chen, I'm glad I will."
Although Liu Zheng had heard of King Chen's name, it was the first time he had seen Liu Chong, and with the attitude that everyone was surnamed Liu, he was relatively friendly to Liu Chong.
"King Chen, you don't want to stay in your Yuzhou, you came to my Huainan County to join in the fun."
"Ordered to suppress the thief."
"Ordered to suppress thieves? On whose orders? What kind of thief? ”
"Of course, it was on the emperor's orders to exterminate you, Liu Zheng, a thief."
Liu Pet is also a tough guy, although he is face-to-face with Liu Zheng, his momentum does not fall, and his mouth is quite hard.
"I heard that you have collected some poor people in Yuzhou, given them fields to plant, and given them food, is there such a thing?"
Liu Zheng was not angry at Liu Chong's words, but continued to talk to Liu Chong.
"It's also thanks to you Liu Zheng, if it wasn't for the fact that you were too fierce in Runan at the beginning, how could I, Chen Guo, rise rapidly in this troubled world."
"So, you have to thank me."
"I really want to thank you, I once looked at you from a distance a few years ago, and I felt that you were a very different person, but I didn't expect that in the past few years, you have developed into such a situation, and you are worthy of being a man valued by my Liu Pet, and it is indeed worthy of my worship."
"Oh? Have you seen me yet? ”
