The book is picked up again.

Afternoon......

At this time, Huang Zhong had already led the army to the Tiger Prison Pass and stationed there.

By the time everything was done, it was already afternoon.

Huang Zhong came to the small wooden house occupied by Liu Biao and others, and reported to Liu Biaoyu: "Lord Qiqi, the army has been integrated and stationed in the pass, do you have any other orders?" ”

"Very good" Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then asked, "Han Sheng, how many troops do I have left?" Do you have a specific amount? ”

"This ......" Huang Zhong's face changed, and after hesitating for a while, he cautiously looked at the three people in the room, and replied, "I only have two hundred and fifty or sixty thousand horses now!" ”

"What ?!!!" After hearing Huang Zhong's answer, the three people in the room all stood up abruptly and looked at him with shocked faces.

Subsequently......

"......" saw that Liu Biao came to Huang Zhong with a speed that did not belong to his age, grabbed his arm, and said hurriedly: "How can there be so many people left?!"

Didn't we wait for more than 300,000 people yesterday? How did you lose 40,000 or 50,000 people overnight?! ”

"Alas......" After Huang Zhong heard Liu Biao's inquiry, he let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Yesterday, we did have 300,000 horses.

But this time alone, the trap of the Tiger Prison Pass caused me to lose 12,300 people, plus nearly 30,000 people in the battle last night......"

"It can't !!" As soon as Huang Zhong said this, Kuai Yue interrupted him.

After shaking his head with a serious face, Kuai Yue said, "It is absolutely impossible to lose 30,000 horses last night!"

I was on the scene all the time last night, and I have been counting the losses of people, not to mention the loss of 30,000 people, even if it is 10,000 people! You're definitely miscalculating this amount! ”

"......" Huang Zhong glanced at Kuai Yue a little strangely when he heard this, and asked: "As far as the old man knows, in the second half of the night last night, Mr. Xenodu had already gone back to rest, how could it be all counted?" ”

"Huh?" After Liu Biao and Liu Yan heard Huang Zhong's words, they turned their eyes to Kuai Yue at the same time.

In their impression, Kuai Yue Ke has always been a reliable person, how can he ...... now?

"......" Kuai Yue met everyone's eyes and was silent for a while, then pursed his lips and nodded, and said: "General Huang is right, in the second half of last night, I did go back to rest because of extreme sleepiness.

But how could it be possible to lose so many men in those two hours after only two hours of rest?

You know, in the first half of the night, we lost less than 5,000 men, could it be that in the two hours we went down to rest, we lost 25,000 men?! ”

"......" After listening to Kuai Yue's explanation, Liu Biao and Liu Yan nodded, and then turned their eyes to Huang Zhong, they were very serious about this matter!

Military power is no trivial matter, this is an important foundation for their survival in this troubled world, and there is no room for sloppiness!

"......" After Huang Zhong licked his lips after listening to the words, he spread his hands helplessly and said: "Although things are indeed a little unexpected, the facts are the facts!"

In the second half of last night, Wen Chang took more than 100,000 troops with him

I attacked for two hours!

More than 25,000 people were indeed lost in these two hours!

If you don't believe me, you can ask the lieutenant general of the bunga, and he can prove it. ”

"What?!" After Kuai Yue and the others heard Huang Zhong's words, their faces changed dramatically!

They didn't expect Wei Yan to dare to go against their plan and forcibly attack the enemy, wasn't this losing his own army in vain?

After thinking of this, Liu Biao's face sank, and he shouted loudly outside: "Someone! Summons Vice Admiral Wei Yan to come! ”

"No!" After the guards outside heard Liu Biao's words, they immediately responded and hurried away.

At this time, everyone in the room had a calm face, and sat in their chairs without saying a word.

After a while, a report from the herald came from outside: "My lord, General Wei's lieutenant has arrived." ”

"Let him in!"

"Squeak......" After Wei Yan's lieutenant pushed the door in, he immediately saluted the crowd and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates have seen the lord and the generals!" ”

After saying that, he straightened up and stood there with a gloomy face, allowing the four of them to look at him.

The four of them were stunned for a moment when they saw that the general's eyes were bloodshot and there were tears on his face, and then they reacted, this deputy general probably already knew the news of Wei Yan's misfortune, so he was so depressed.

And Huang Zhong looked at this deputy general with a strange face, Huang Zhong knew that this deputy general knew that Wei Yan was still alive......

Gee......

This acting ...... Terrible!

Liu Biao didn't care whether the deputy general was sad or not, and asked impatiently: "The old man asked you, in the second half of the night last night, did Wei Yan go against the strategy set by Xenodu and order the army to attack in an all-out way?" ”

"That's right!" The lieutenant nodded, and then replied in a hoarse voice: "At that time, the general said, "The enemy's plan is too cowardly and disdainful!" ”

So after Mr. Xenodu left, he led the army to storm the Tiger Prison Pass.

Several times I almost took Guan Zhen down, but unfortunately the enemy's armor was too powerful, and in the end, it fell short! ”

"......" After Liu Biao heard the words of the deputy general, his face immediately became gloomy, he waved his sleeves at the deputy general, and said impatiently: "Okay, there is nothing for you here, step down!" ”

"No!" After the lieutenant replied weakly, he did not salute, turned around and walked out of the room.

"Bang!" After the deputy general left, Liu Biao slapped the table, and said angrily: "What a different Wei Yan Wei Wenchang!"

He looked decent when he waited for me, but as soon as he left our sight, he immediately forgot about our orders and acted according to his own ideas!

Such a person is also worthy of being a general? Such a person really deserves to die!

Thanks to his life now in Huangquan, otherwise the old man would have to behead him! That's right......"

Speaking of this, Liu Biao felt that he hadn't been angry yet, so he gritted his teeth and asked Huang Zhong, "Hansheng!" Where is the thief's body now? The old man wants to whip his body to thank him for his indignation! ”

"Don't !!" After hearing Liu Biao's words, Kuai Yue and Huang Zhong's faces immediately changed drastically, and they stopped them in unison.

"How?" Liu Biao looked at the two of them with a gloomy face and asked, "You."

Are you going to intercede for him? Or do you think this thief shouldn't be whipped? ”

"Definitely!" When Kuai Yue heard this, he immediately shook his head, and after bowing to Liu Biao, he said: "Lord, my subordinates are not interceding for him, nor do they think that General Wei should not be punished.

It's just that we've lost too many men and horses now, and the morale of the army has fallen to a low point!

If I insult the body of a general who has died on the battlefield now, it will inevitably hit the morale of my waiting for again!

When the time comes, how will the moraleless army deal with the enemy in Luoyang?

Therefore, the subordinates also asked the lord to take a break from the wrath of the thunder, and it was not too late to punish him after this matter had passed. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Zhong, who was still thinking hard about making excuses just now, immediately nodded again and again after hearing Kuai Yue's words. said: "Lord, what Mr. Xenodu said is right, we are now focusing on maintaining stability, and we must not do anything that hurts the morale of the army, otherwise there will be chaos!" ”

"......" Liu Biao looked at Kuai Yue, and then at Huang Zhong, but in the end, he didn't have a seizure, he waved his hand helplessly, and said: "That's it, people die like lights go out, since Wei Wenchang has died, and he died to save Han Sheng, this can be regarded as a merit and demerit, and the old man will not pursue it." ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity!" After Huang Zhonghe heard Liu Biao's words, his expression was relieved, and then he patted Liu Biao's ass at the same time.

That's when ......

"Sniff ......" Liu Yan, who was standing on the side, suddenly frowned, and after snorting vigorously, he asked the three people in the room with a puzzled face: "Do you smell anything burning?" ”

"Huh? Sniff ......" After hearing Liu Yan's words, several people immediately frowned and sniffed around,

Then they realized that there was indeed a burning smell in the air.

"Oh no, no, it's not good, it's !! water" Just when everyone was puzzled, suddenly the shouts of the soldiers were heard.

"Bang!" A soldier burst into the room and shouted at Liu Biao with a frightened face: "Lord! Big things are wrong! Suddenly flames erupted in the Tiger Prison Pass, and we were already surrounded by fire! ”

"What?!" When the four of them heard the soldier's words, their faces changed greatly, and then they pushed him away and hurried out of the room.

"Help! The enemy has an ambush!! ”

"Ahhh!!h

"Go find water to put out the fire, hurry!!"

"Don't run, although this fire looks big, it can't burn me, so I'll stay !!where I am."

After Liu Biao and the others came outside, they saw that the entire Tiger Prison Pass was full of flames, especially those inconspicuous places in the Tiger Prison Pass, and there were bursts of fire suddenly emerging from the ground, just like the eruption of the ground fire, which looked very scary.

And the soldiers in the pass were indeed frightened, even if the fire did not burn them, they were still shouting and running around, as if they had blown up the camp.

At this moment, Kuai Yue rubbed his eyebrows, turned his head, and said to Huang Zhong with a helpless face: "General Huang, you hurry up and appease these fools, just such a trivial matter is worth making such a fuss?" ”

"Uh......" General Huang's face turned red after hearing Kuai Yue's words.

He had trained these soldiers, and his face was so bad that he didn't have a light on his face, so he nodded and walked towards them with his broadsword.
