After collecting the defeated troops of the Han army, Liu Yao led the army to camp outside Jiangyou City.

"Let's talk about how much our army lost in this battle!" Liu Yao sat on the main seat of the big tent of the Chinese army, his face was pale.

"There are two thousand generals at the end, and there are 1,500 people left in the Jianning army." Guan Xiu replied dejectedly.

Although the Jianning army was the backbone and was protected by the barbarian sword and shield hands, and in the face of the sudden arrival of Wei cavalry at the head of the city, the Jianning army took effective measures, but it still suffered a quarter of the casualties.

"What about the brute casualties?" Liu Yao turned his head and looked at Sha Sigu again.

Sha Sigu was already wounded, and a broken arm was hanging from his neck with gauze, and replied with a sad face:

"There are only more than 1,000 of the 3,000 Nanzhong barbarians left, how can I explain to the king!"

Liu Yao was also very sad in his heart, after all, the barbarian soldiers were borrowed, and they were all folded in his own hands, so he was afraid that it would be difficult for the king of Nanzhong to say it.

"There will be no siege tomorrow, the whole army will rest and recuperate, I will think of a way, this Jiangyou City will be taken, go down and rest." Liu Yao sighed and said to Guan Xiu, Sha Sigu and others in the account.

The generals in the account all got up and went out of the account, and Liu Yao shouted in the back again:

"Chen She stays!"

Chen She just walked to the tent door, heard Liu Yao calling himself, hurriedly turned around and came back, and asked:

"What else does Your Highness command?"

After the other generals in the tent had left, Liu Yao said slowly:

"Chen She, I am arrogant during the day, and I can't stand the soldiers of the Han army. In the future, you must remember to always remind me not to underestimate the enemy. ”

"Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself, the Jiangyou defenders secretly hide cavalry, which the last general can't predict, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the next battle is to win back." Chen She replied.

"Don't worry, I'm not so fragile yet, this revenge of my Han army will definitely come back! If there's nothing else, you can go down too! Liu Yao clenched her fists.

Chen She immediately retreated.

After everyone was gone, Liu Yao had time to meditate personally.

His experience in warfare in this era is really too far behind, the cavalry is a nightmare existence in front of the infantry, and one day he must form a powerful cavalry of his own, and the naval army of Eastern Wu does not know what the strength is.

And this small Jiangyou City in front of me can't take it down, so what should I do?

While pondering, Liu Yao suddenly remembered the trick that the old gentleman in Nanzhong gave him when he left Nanzhong, and hurriedly rummaged through his armor, and after a while, he found it.

Liu Yao took a deep breath, closed her eyes and thought that she hoped that it would not disappoint me, and after a long time, she slowly opened the bag, only to see that it read:

"The land of Shu obtained by the Wei army is the desire of the people to Han, and His Royal Highness will use it!"

Liu Yao put away the bag full of disappointment, and said to herself with a wry smile:

"What a clever plan, headless and nonsensical!"

In the middle of the night, Liu Yao straightened his clothes and armor, and lay on the coach's table to take a breath, he was really tired from the night expedition, and he fell asleep after a while.

"Report! Your Highness! ”

Liu Yao suddenly woke up, and heard that there was a sergeant outside the tent asking for a report, presumably there must be something important, so he hurriedly called the sergeant in and asked:

"What's going on in the middle of the night? Could it be that the Wei army attacked the camp at night? ”

Due to the loss of the Wei cavalry during the siege of the city, Liu Yao deeply felt the horror of the cavalry, and deliberately set up horse traps and horse rejection around the camp when he returned from the rout of the Han army, and it was not so easy for the Wei cavalry to attack the camp.

The sergeant immediately replied:

"Your Highness Qiqi, it was not the Wei army attacking the camp, it was our army scouts who caught a Wei army spy outside the camp."

Liu Yao waved his hand and said with some scarcity:

"If you catch the Wei army's spies, you can kill them on the spot, and you don't need to report it."

The sergeant added: "The scout caught the spy and was about to kill him on the spot, and the spy said that he was here to help the Han army take Jiangyou City, and the scout was afraid that the matter would be serious, so he tied the spy to the barracks. ”

Liu Yao's deprivation dissipated for a while, stood up in surprise, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly bring in the Wei army spies." ”

After a while, two sergeants came in with a young man in his early twenties, who was tied up, and there was no fear in his eyes.

When he met Liu Yao, the sergeant scolded him to kneel, but the young man still held his head high and said:

"A certain originally offered a strategy to break the city, but the Han army treated such a certain one?"

Liu Yao hurriedly ordered the left and right sergeants to leave, personally came down to untie the young man, and ordered someone to bring corn and rice, the man relaxed his muscles and bones, and held a bowl of corn and ate it. While eating, he said:

"How did the general know that I was already hungry, I finally crawled out of Jiangyou City, and I was already hungry with my chest against my back!"

Liu Yao said with a wry smile: "The strong man eats slowly, the food in the army is rough, and there is no wine to drink, so the strong man will take a break." ”

After that, Liu Yao personally poured a glass of water and handed it to the young man.

"It's enough to eat!" The man didn't have the slightest politeness, took the water cup in Liu Yao's hand, and drank it all.

After eating and drinking, the young man suddenly became serious, bowed with his hands in fists, and asked:

"I don't know which Han general the general is? The Son of Heaven has already surrendered to Wei, why is the general still at war with the Wei army? ”

Liu Yao pretended to be casual and replied:

"I am Liu Yao, the king of stability in the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven is just pretending to succumb to Wei, the general has defeated Zhong Huijun and Deng Aijun, welcomed back the Son of Heaven in Chengdu, and now sent me to fetch Jiangyou."

When the young man heard Liu Yao's words, his face changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and said:

"Grass people Li You, see His Royal Highness the King of Anding!"

Liu Yao hurriedly came over and Li You helped him up, and Li You suddenly cried bitterly and shouted:

"Now that I have to see the king of the Han Dynasty come back, it is not in vain that my sister is loyal to the Han family, and she is blind to death!"

Liu Yao was a little dazed, but still comforted Li You and asked:

"I don't know what the strong man said can help my Han army capture Jiangyou City, is it a joke or is it true?"

Li You stopped crying bitterly and replied with a straight face:

"How can the husband be joking?"

"How to seize this Jiangyou City, please teach me a strong man." Liu Yao immediately asked.

Li You straightened his clothes and replied:

"Your Royal Highness, listen to me one by one, I was originally the wife and brother of Ma Miao, the guard of the Jiangyou Han Army, and my sister Li is the wife of Ma Miao, that day Deng Ai Wei army attacked, Ma Miao was greedy for life and afraid of death, and hurriedly went out of the city to welcome the Wei army into the city, bowed his head to Deng Ai under the public court, cried and told him that he had already had the heart to surrender, so he took the Jiangyou army and the people to surrender to the Wei army, and also presented Deng Ai with a map of the dangerous places in Shu from Jiangyou to Fucheng Pass."

When Liu Yao heard this, he slammed the table and scolded angrily:

"This Jiangyou guard general Ma Miao is really not a thing, he has eaten Hanlu in vain for many years, and when I take Jiangyou City, I will definitely drag him out and behead him to set an example!"
