Chapter 254: Forced Alliance

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

When Liu Xiu heard that his second brother's family had also been killed, he vomited blood again. Liu Boji cried so much that she almost fainted, and she asked Liu Jiu with tears in her eyes: "Big brother, why did we lose?" Why did it lose so badly? ”

Liu Xuan couldn't answer it, and most of the people in the Zhutian Capital couldn't answer this question. They also have the same question in their hearts, yes, why did they lose? And why did they lose so badly?

Liu Xiu can answer this question. There must be at least 100,000 people in the Jingshi army that ambushed their own side this time, but when did so many Jingshi troops leave the capital, when did they enter Nanyang, and when did they set up an ambush in Xiaochang'an, they didn't even have anything about it

I don't know, and I haven't heard any of the wind.

The 100,000-strong Jingshi army seemed to have wings on their backs and gathered from the sky in Xiaochang'an.

The art of war is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles. The problem now is that the Zhutian Capital Department has not achieved a confidant, let alone a confidant.

Since the Zhutiandu Department raised troops to fight recklessly, even the battle was victorious, and it was unstoppable, first taking Cai Yang, and then taking Xinye, no matter how big or small the battle was, they all fought smoothly, and they didn't know what defeat was.

Under such circumstances, the Zhutian Army naturally developed a general mentality of despising the enemy. It's self-confusing.

On the other hand, the Zhutiandu Department did not have a perfect intelligence system at all, and it was completely blind to the movements of the Xinmang Imperial Court and the Nanyang County Government, and he didn't know anything.

The movement of the 100,000-strong army of the Xinmang Imperial Court, such a big thing, the Zhutian Capital Department was completely unaware of it, and it was simply unbelievable to fight such a closed battle.

Neither knowing oneself nor the other, this is the main reason for the defeat of the Zhutian Capital Division.

As for why it lost so badly, it mainly lies in the lack of cohesion and centripetal force. Suddenly encountering an accident, the soldiers of the Zhutian Capital Department were completely fighting on their own, and they did not huddle together at all. The first thing people think of is self-preservation, and they all want to escape from the tiger's mouth with their families first, and they don't think about concentrating their own forces at all

Force against ambushes. The Zhutian army has a total of nearly 30,000 people, if it can really be held together, even if it is defeated by 100,000 Jingshi troops, the casualties will not be as big as now, and the loss will be so miserable.

It can be said that the battle of Xiaochang'an Ju was caused by the various problems of the Zhutian Capital Department itself, and it was defeated and lost, and its vitality was greatly damaged, and it was almost completely annihilated, which is not difficult to understand. This battle hit Liu Xiu too hard, and within one day, he lost his second sister, his second brother, and his two closest relatives. But in the same way, this battle also left a deep impression on Liu Xiu and gave him a vivid and tragic military lesson

Didactic lessons.

The remnants of the Zhutian Army, which had retreated to Thorn Yang, were all like mourning, and their morale had fallen to the extreme.

In the city of Thorn Yang, the barracks, the handsome tent.

Liu Xiu is here, Liu Ji, Liu Jia, Deng Feng are here, Deng Yu, Ma Wu, Cho Qi, Feng Yi and others are also there, and even Liu Xiu, who is covered in injuries and grief, is also sitting in the camp tent.

After experiencing the fiasco of Xiao Chang'anju, what should they do, this is the problem they are directly facing now.

There was silence in the huge handsome tent, and the falling needles could be heard, and people lowered their heads one by one and kept silent.

It was Liu Xiu's cough that broke the silence, and he took out his handkerchief and covered his mouth.

Xu Xiling hurriedly took out the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, and handed it to Liu Xiu, this is the tonic medicine that Xi Cheying left for her before leaving, and it has a good effect on treating internal injuries.

Liu Xiu took the pill, didn't even look at it, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and swallowed it. Then he folded the handkerchief and tucked it into his cuffs. Others may not have paid attention, but Xu Xiling, who was beside him, could see clearly that the handkerchief was full of bloodshots.

Xu Xiling lowered her head, her teeth biting her lip tightly, and water droplets dripped down her face, wetting her clothes.

At this moment, someone outside the camp said, "General! ”

"Come in!" With Liu Xuan's words, a soldier walked in from outside, he intervened in Liu Xuan's salute, and whispered: "General, Liu ...... Liu Yong was seriously injured and died...... Dead. ”

Hearing this, everyone present raised their heads and looked blankly at the soldier who reported the news, and after a while, they didn't know who was the first to choke up, and soon, the sound of crying came from the camp tent one after another.

Liu Yong's personality is not very good, he is arrogant on weekdays, he is not strict with his own heirs, and his son Liu Jin causes trouble everywhere, and among the Liu clan, Liu Yong's reputation is also very average. It's just that there are too many people who died today, and there are dozens of Liu clansmen alone, but anyone who can escape has experienced nine deaths, and Liu Yong's serious injuries are incurable, so that the grieving people present can no longer hold back and cry out one after another, that is

It was Liu Xiu, who was not in agreement with Liu Yong, and her eyes were red, and tears were dripping down.

Liu Xuan took a deep breath, waved his hand to the soldier who reported the news, and said in a hoarse voice: "I know, go down." ”

The soldier bowed and bowed, and quietly withdrew from the camp.

Liu Xuan looked around at everyone present, his fists clenched tightly, and his nails were deeply buttoned into the flesh of his palms.

Others can cry, but he can't cry, no matter how sad and painful he is, he has to grit his teeth and hold on.

He is the commander of the whole army, and his every move directly affects everyone in the whole army, even if the sky falls, he has to stand there and carry the sky, which is the responsibility of a commander.

He cheered up and asked: "The 100,000 Beijing division army has entered Nanyang, and now it is eyeing our department, what do you think, how should our department deal with it next?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside again: "Report! General! ”

"Come in!"

A soldier hurriedly entered from outside, intervened in the salute to Liu Xuan, and said, "General, Yan County Commander asks to see you!" ”

Everyone present was stunned at first, but soon people's eyes lit up. Yan Guang! Yan Guang is here! Liu Xuan also showed surprise on his face, and said urgently: "Hurry up, please!" ”

At this time, Liu Jiu had completely forgotten that he almost killed Yan Guang in Xinye.

After a while, with a series of footsteps, Yan Guang hurriedly walked into the camp.

He first bowed to Liu Xuan and said, "General! Immediately after, he turned to look at Liu Xiu, and when he saw Liu Xiu's appearance clearly, he couldn't help frowning secretly.

At this time, Liu Xiu was too haggard, her face was no longer pale, but blue, the color of her lips was gray, her hair was messy, and there were mud and blood stains on her face.

If he met him on the street, he might not be able to recognize Liu Xiu.

After being stunned for a moment, he saluted Liu Xiushen and said, "Lord, Ziling is late!" ”

Liu Xiu is not a person who loves to cry, but when he saw Yan Guang at this time, his tears just couldn't be stopped.

Yan Guang and Liu Xiu have known each other for so long, and they have never seen him shed a tear, even when he was in Taixue, when he was bullied by the children of the Shi clan, Liu Xiu also smiled.

Seeing him like this at this time, Yan Guang's heart was also like a knife, and he blamed himself.

He looked at Liu Xuan and asked bluntly, "General, how many soldiers and horses does our army still have?" ”

Liu Xuan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Three thousand." ”

Three thousand...... Yan Guang was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Where does the general plan to go?" ”

Liu Xuan was silent. Yan Guang didn't speak again, quietly waiting for Liu Jiu's answer. I don't know how long it took, Liu Jiu raised his head, looked at Yan Guang, and asked, "What about Mr. Yan's opinion?" ”

Yan Guang and Liu Jiu looked at each other for a moment, and Zhengse said: "First, hurry up and recover all the troops of our army stationed in various counties......"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Ji stood up and said urgently: "How can that work?" Wouldn't withdrawing the troops of the counties be tantamount to giving up the counties? These towns, but we have taken them down one by one! ”

"General Ji thinks that with the current strength of both the enemy and us, can we still hold these towns? If the garrisons in the counties are not withdrawn, they will only be broken by the officers and soldiers one by one! ”

"But ......"

Liu Ji was not convinced and wanted to argue, but Liu Ji waved his hand at him, signaling him not to say more. He asked, "Mr. Yan, what about the second?" ”

Yan Guang said categorically: "Send people to Pinglin and Xinshi immediately, and form an alliance with the Green Forest Army!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present also changed. In the Pillar Heaven Capital Division, forming an alliance with the Green Forest Army has become a taboo topic.

Last time, Yan Guang said this in front of Liu Jiu, and was almost killed by Liu Jiu, and now that he proposed an alliance with the Green Forest Army again, many people secretly pinched a cold sweat for Yan Guang.

Liu Jiu looked at Yan Guang intently, his fists clenched, released, clenched, and released, repeating several times.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Xuan asked quietly: "Mr. Yan, apart from forming an alliance with the Green Forest Army, do we have no other way to go?" ”

Yan Guang said: "General, forming an alliance with the Green Forest Army is the only way out for our army at present. ”

Liu Xuan slowly closed his eyes and muttered, "It's late." ”

Before experiencing today's defeat, the Zhutian Capital still had the capital to negotiate an alliance with the Green Forest Army, after all, they had nearly 30,000 people, and the fierce generals in the army were like clouds, and they had the strength to be on an equal footing with the Green Forest Army.

But now, they only have 3,000 people left, where are they still qualified to negotiate an alliance with the Green Forest Army? Now if you go to negotiate with the Green Forest Army, you can only talk about defection, and you can only be merged by the Green Forest Army.

That's why Liu Xuan said the word 'late' with feeling.

Yan Guang said: "General, no matter how late it is, you have to do this!" If we want to fight against the Reckless Army, if we want to continue to survive, forming an alliance with the Green Forest Army is our only way out, and it is also the last way out! ”

Liu Xuan couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, he was silent for a long time, he slowly spoke, and asked, "Who wants to go to Pinglin and Xinshi?" ”

Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other. It seems that now the general has also relented, and he is really going to defect to the Green Forest Army.

The scene was silent and silent. After a while, Liu Jia got up and arched his hand and said: "General, the last general is willing to go to Pinglin and Xinshi to discuss the alliance between the two armies with the Green Forest Army!" ”

Seeing Liu Jia's red eyes and taking the initiative to ask for help, Liu Jia felt sad in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Filial piety ......" In today's battle, Liu Jia's condition is even worse than Deng Chen, not only his wife was killed, but also his children were killed, Deng Chen at least survived two sons, and Liu Jia's family, in the end, he was really the only one left.
