Chapter 295: Knocking on the Occasion
As soon as Liu Pan lay down, he was quarreled by Han Xuan and the three of them, and he was naturally unhappy in his heart, and after seeing the three of them, he said coldly: "Three envoys, come early enough!" ”
Han Xuan and the others also knew about the situation last night, Liu Pan definitely had no way to rest, and looking at his sleepy eyes, they guessed that Liu Pan must have just gone to rest at this time, so they quarreled again.
Although in terms of identity, Liu Pan does not have direct jurisdiction over the three of them, but Liu Pan, as the chief general of Liu Biao's army, is naturally noble, and he is much closer to Liu Biao than them, and now it is wartime, if Liu Pan uses military law to do something, I am afraid Liu Biao will not blame Liu Pan.
Han Xuan and the three of them also knew this, smiled and said, "Last night, when we learned that Chen Ying was killed and Luo County was destroyed, we were all shocked, worried that the war was really unable to rest, and it was really disturbing the general to come so early." The general has already collected the Luoxian rout, I wonder if he has found out what the specific battle situation was last night? ”
If Liu Pan wants to implement the strategy in his heart, he also needs Han Xuan and the three of them to defend Linxiang City for him, and under such scruples, Liu Pan didn't dare to completely offend the three of them, and after giving them a look, Liu Pan didn't give them any more anger.
But thinking about Chen Ying's unauthorized retreat and abandonment of the city and fleeing, Liu Pan was immediately furious in his heart, and said coldly: "Luo County guard Chen Ying ignored my military orders, and actually abandoned the city and fled last night, on the way back to Linxiang City, unexpectedly fell into the ambush of Yue Fei, the general under Yuan Yao, at the beginning of the war, Chen Ying was killed by an arrow, the Guiyang army had no leader and could only scatter and flee, the enemy iron cavalry took advantage of the situation to attack and kill, how could the Guiyang army not be defeated!" ”
Liu Du and Jin Xuan had only vaguely heard the name Yue Fei mentioned, and they were one of the generals under Yue Hou Yuan Yao, and they didn't know much about Yue Fei's specific ability, but Han Xuan was the Taishou of Changsha County, and he often had to replenish the damaged soldiers and grain and grass for Liu Pan's troops and horses, so he naturally knew who Yue Fei was!
Hearing that the Guiyang soldiers under Chen Ying's command were actually annihilated by Yue Fei's ambush, Han Xuan was suddenly shocked and said, "What? Chen Ying turned out to be ambushed by the enemy general Yue Fei? Has this been confirmed? How could Yue Fei suddenly appear here! ”
Liu Pan sneered and said, "Someone in the Guiyang rout has seen Yue Fei before, and he recognized Yue Fei, and after I confirmed with the rest of the soldiers, I have already determined Yue Fei's identity. Yue Fei must have led the army to Luo County with Wei Yan, according to my guess, Yue Fei must have set up an ambush on the road to Linxiang City first, and Wei Yan led the army to attack Luo County with all his strength, just to force Chen Ying's troops and horses to abandon the city and flee! ”
When Liu Pan said this, he glanced at Liu Du and Jin Xuan with a playful face, and then continued: "Yue Fei can understand people's hearts with cunning soldiers, he must have seen that Chen Ying led the soldiers of Guiyang County, and they would not fight to the death in Luo County, so he set up this plan!" I didn't want Chen Ying to really fall for the plan, he didn't obey my military order to stick to Luo County, and he dared to retreat and abandon the city without permission, so he was defeated by Yue Fei's ambush and died! ”
"Liu Yuanjun and Jin Yuanjun, you two should learn from it!"
……
When Han Xuan heard Liu Pan's words, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he also turned his head to look at Jin Xuan.
When Liu Du and Jin Xuan heard Liu Pan's words, their faces suddenly changed, and they couldn't hear that Liu Pan was beating the two of them with Chen Ying as an example. However, what Liu Pan said was not bad, Chen Ying did not obey Liu Pan's military order and withdrew privately, which led to the defeat and death of the enemy's ambush soldiers, and the two of them were also in command of soldiers and horses from other counties, and it was normal for Liu Pan to have this concern.
Liu Du didn't have anything to say, and replied: "The general can rest assured, the old man, as a county guard, naturally knows what the priorities are!" The four counties of Jingnan are one, if Changsha County is lost, my Lingling County will definitely be difficult to preserve, the general can rest assured, the old man will lead the army to the death to help the general defend the city! ”
Liu Du said so, what else could Jin Xuan say, besides, he himself was still in Liu Pan's camp, where did he dare to say anything else!
Jin Xuan could only glance at Han Xuan fiercely, and replied: "Don't worry, general, I will definitely do my best to help the general defend the city!" ”
Liu Pan was relieved when he heard Liu Du and Jin Xuan's statement, and said: "Linxiang City is the important place of my Jingzhou, the city defense is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are more than 20,000 troops led by you in the city to garrison, as well as more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city to help, even if Yuan Yao leads more than 100,000 troops to come, he will not want to capture the city in a short time!" ”
"Moreover, I will also lead the army to hold the camp of Luoxiao Mountain, if Yuan Yao attacks Linxiang City, I will definitely send troops to rescue; If Yuan Yao's army does not attack Linxiang City and turns around to attack me, you don't have to worry, the terrain of Luoxiao Mountain is dangerous and the water source is sufficient, and our battalion is not worse than the city defense of Linxiang City. ”
"You and I occupy a geographical advantage and form a corner of each other, and Yuan Yao's army will definitely not be able to break it in a short period of time! Yuan Yao personally led the main force to the south, and his headquarters Jiangxia County will definitely be empty, as long as the Jiangling soldiers and horses and Xiangyang soldiers and horses send troops to attack Jiangxia, Yuan Yao can only retreat, and then we will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and we will definitely defeat the enemy! ”
……
Liu Pan's words seemed to be that Yuan Yao was about to be defeated, and even Han Xuan and the three of them were a little enthusiastic when they heard it, and after listening to Liu Pan's words, the three of them also settled down a lot in their hearts, if the situation really developed according to what Liu Pan said, their army may not have the possibility of a complete victory!
If they can defeat Yuan Yao, what kind of prestige and benefits will they gain for themselves and others?
When Han Xuan and the others thought of this, their eyes became more and more hot, and they bowed their hands and said, "General rest assured, when the enemy army feels that we will act according to the agreement, we will definitely act according to the agreement to defend the city and send troops to rescue each other, and we will definitely not miss the general's big event!" ”
Liu Pan replied with a smile: "That's fine, you can wait and see!" ”
Han Xuan took advantage of the good atmosphere and hurriedly talked about the three-party rotation to defend the city, after all, the Changsha soldiers had been guarding the city in the middle of the night, and if there was no one to replace them, they would not be able to hold on.
Under the witness of Liu Pan, the three of them agreed to take turns to defend the city, and each army and horses to defend the city for one day, although Han Xuan suffered a little in this way, but Linxiang City was the county of Changsha County after all, and Han Xuan could also collect soldiers and horses from other places to recruit village warriors, so if it was calculated, Han Xuan could also accept it.
After discussing some details, they returned to their headquarters and began to prepare for the war.
