Chapter 193: Heaven has no way
Gwangjong Castle is too guarded in the house. After Guangzong City was occupied by the Yellow Turban Bandits, Taishou Mansion became the residence of the Zhang Jiao brothers and others, and the peacetime war negotiations were also carried out in this mansion.
At this time, in the conference hall, Zhang Jiao, who was sitting on the main seat, closed his eyes in pain, and his body trembled frequently. When he heard the report of Liu Bi, who had fled alone, Zhang Jiao suddenly had a feeling that the general trend had gone. The grief of Zhang Liang's death has not yet subsided, and there is another bad news, this day can be described as the most difficult day for Zhang Jiao.
"Report! General Guan asks to see him outside the house! ”
"Quick! Let him in! ”
It was not Zhang Jiao who spoke, but Zhang Bao, who was the military advisor of the thief army, Zhang Bao was worried about the battle situation in his heart, although he was ambushed tonight, this defeat was decided, but if Guan Hai could bring back half of the military horses, this loss would be acceptable. Otherwise, I am afraid that Guangzong will be difficult to defend.
Not long after, Guan Hai, supported by two yellow turban soldiers, walked into the mansion chamber. Guan Hai's appearance at this time, even Zhang Bao, who originally wanted to blame him, couldn't scold. Liu Pi returned to Guangzong first, and he also knew that there was something wrong with him today, of course he would not confess in front of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, but fabricated a lot of charges and added them to Guan Hai.
Zhang Bao looked at it, the blood-stained robe, his face was pale, his arms were weak, and there were even more hideous holes in his wrists. Zhang Bao glared at Liu Bi gloomily, Liu Bi was also startled when he saw Guan Hai's tragic situation, and felt Zhang Bao's gloomy eyes, and immediately shouted in his heart that it was not good, and he shrank his head unconsciously, not daring to look at Guan Hai again.
"General Guan, it's hard for you, but is there a big problem? Sit down. Come on, please come and heal General Guan! ”
Although Zhang Bao was anxious about the results, so as not to chill Guan Hai's heart, he still appeased and cared about Guan Hai's injury first. Although Guan Hai was sweating profusely, he also knew that the matter was urgent, and shook his head and asked Zhang Bao to listen to him finish the battle report first, and then ask the doctor to treat him.
After Guan Hai glanced at Liu Bi with resentment in his eyes, he told all the battle situation tonight, and when they heard that there were less than 2,000 soldiers in Guangzong City, whether it was Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao or Liu Bi, they were all in shock.
"Liu Bi, you bastard!! If you had listened to the general's words, swept through the enemy camp, found an ambush, and forced the court soldiers and horses lying in ambush to come to the rescue, there would have been no such fiasco!
But not only did you not listen to the general's words, but later you escaped from the battle, regardless of the soldiers and horses, it was really not enough to succeed and more than to lose! Are you impatient with this head, don't want it!! ”
As a military advisor, Zhang Bao's view of the battle situation is not bad, and as soon as he heard the battle situation reported by Guan Hai, he knew that it was Liu Pi, a rat, who had caused a big deal. In fact, as he said, if Liu Bi did not lead the troops to retreat at that time, and swept away the ambushes around the enemy camp with Guan Hai, Liu Pi and Guan Hai did not suffer many casualties at that time.
Once the ambush soldiers ambushed around the enemy camp are found, they will definitely be defeated, forcing Wen Han and Guan Yu, two soldiers and horses who are ambushed in the dense forest behind, to lead the troops back to rescue. In this way, perhaps, Liu Pi and Guan Hai won the final victory by virtue of their absolute superiority in numbers.
However, there is no regret medicine in this world. Liu Pi's incompetence just created a great victory for the enemy army and a crushing defeat for the self-army.
"General Digong, I, I."
Liu Bi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, opened his mouth wide, me, me, mine, and couldn't say the second word. He knew that he couldn't deceive Zhang Bao with his intelligence, but he was afraid of death, so he was so anxious that tears were about to flow out.
"Liu Bi, can you be guilty?"
Zhang Bao was so angry that he was about to let Liu Pi, a rat poop, be dragged out and cut down, and he had already paid tribute to the soldiers who died in vain because of him today. However, before Zhang Jiao could say anything, he asked Liu Pi in a cold voice.
Under Zhang Jiao's gloomy gaze, Liu Pi didn't dare to quibble anymore, regretted not being at the beginning, and kowtowed bitterly.
"I am guilty! Please spare my life for the sake of the many meritorious contributions I have made to the Heavenly Army in the past, and I will not make such a big mistake in the future! ”
"Liu Bi, you made such a big mistake and still want to live! Every soldier is precious! Tonight, because of your incompetence, you have lost more than 18,000 soldiers of our heavenly army in vain! This loss is so heavy that it is likely to have a great impact on the final victory or defeat of the battle here in Guangzong! Liu Bi, you are simply unforgivable! ”
"Enough. Second brother, now is the time to employ people, Liu Pizhi's mistake has been committed and cannot be changed, since he knows how to admit his mistake, contemptible people will give him a chance to make meritorious contributions. If a person is not a saint, who can be without fault?
And I've already decided..."
When Zhang Jiao said this, he suddenly paused. Zhang Bao, Liu Bi, and Guan Hai all cast their eyes, and the tone in Zhang Jiao's words seemed to be arranged with a big move next, and the three of them couldn't help but be a little nervous in their hearts.
"After today's defeat in the two battles, we have less than 50,000 soldiers and horses left in Guangzong. These two defeats made the soldiers and horses in Guangzong City unstable, their morale was low, and their fighting spirit was not high.
On the contrary, the court soldiers and horses led by Lu Zhi's old horseman had strong morale and high fighting spirit. We have lost the initiative and can no longer take the initiative to fight, so we can only defend Guangzong and let Lu Zhi's old puppet lead the army to attack.
If we want to solve the crisis of Guangzong, we can only hope that Bocai Pengtuo in the Yingchuan area or Bu Ji in Dongjun can end the war as soon as possible and lead troops to help, so that we can regain the initiative.
Therefore, the second brother Ru and Liu Pi immediately rushed to Yingchuan tonight to command the war, hoping to end the Yingchuan war as soon as possible and lead the troops to help. And Guan Hai, you went to Dongjun to assist Bu Ji. Here in Guangzong, there are 50,000 heavenly troops guarding it, and it should not be broken by Lu Zhi's old puppet in a few months. I also hope that you and the others will seize the time, whether the great cause of despicable people can be accomplished, this opportunity is now in the hands of you and the others! ”
"Big brother, no! If we wait for reinforcements to arrive, but the court soldiers and horses come to reinforce, Lu Zhi's old horseman will definitely attack. At that time, I am afraid that Guangzong will be difficult to hold here. The eldest brother is not as good as your predecessor to Yingchuan to command, Guangzong is here, and the second brother will guard it! ”
Zhang Bao's face was anxious, and he hurriedly persuaded.
Zhang Jiao shook his head and looked at Zhang Bao resolutely.
"Guangzong is the center of the uprising of the Yellow Turban Heavenly Army, and the contemptible people are the head of the Heavenly Army, so they must stay here. If the contemptible people retreat, this will affect the morale of the soldiers and horses who are fighting with the court soldiers and horses everywhere, and even mutiny and defection to the enemy will occur. Therefore, contemptible, you must, you must stay in Guangzong! ”
Zhang Jiao said the truth, Zhang Bao certainly understood it as a military adviser in the army, but Zhang Bao didn't know why at this time, and he was in turmoil. He had an inexplicable feeling that if he left tonight, it would be difficult to see Zhang Jiao again.
"Big brother, me!"
"Needless to say, the despicable people have made up their minds. This is a military order, and a military order cannot be violated! Don't you know this truth, second brother?! ”
Zhang Jiao took out the military order, and his attitude was resolute, so that Zhang Bao could no longer say anything against it. Zhang Bao bowed his head and knelt down on one knee, sighed loudly before receiving his order. And Liu Pi and Guan Hai also knelt down one after another to receive the order. After Zhang Jiao explained some words to the three of them, he ordered them to leave and prepare to go to Yingchuan and Dongjun.
With the departure of Zhang Bao, Liu Pi, and Guan Hai, the conference hall suddenly fell silent. Zhang Jiao seemed to be deterred from all his strength, and sat down on the big seat, his eyes gradually dimming.
"Uh~! Cough! Cough! Cough! Belch!! ”
Suddenly, Zhang Jiao's heart was hot, his eyes widened suddenly, and he coughed violently a few times, and this coughing sound was terrifying and extremely painful.
Zhang Jiao vomited a pool of blood, and his whole face was bloodless, white as terrifying, giving people a feeling of dead white.
"Hum hum ~ ~! God knows no way! God has no way!! Is what I did really an unkind and unrighteous thing that was damned by God!! ”
Zhang Jiao sneered uninhibitedly in his heart, resting his head on the back of the chair, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.
And on the other side, in Lu Zhi's battalion. At this time, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had returned to the camp, and when they returned, some of the soldiers collected the dead bodies in the camp and the arrows stuck everywhere. These soldiers who packed up saw the scene of dead bodies everywhere and countless arrows in the field, and many people were amazed, it was another tragic battle.
However, to their relief, these dead men were all soldiers of the Yellow Turban Bandits.
"Hahaha. Well, that's good! After today's World War II, the Yellow Turban Bandit Army has lost the initiative and is difficult to confront us head-on. The old man thought about the thief's first horn, and he must have been so angry at this time that he jumped up. Judging from the current battle situation, this corner can only defend the city and wait for reinforcements to save it. In this way, our soldiers and horses can control the initiative, and after the whole army rests for two days, recuperate, the old man will lead the army to besiege Guangzong City!
The champion has made great contributions in the past few days, and he is really a blessing for the old man! After the end of the Guangzong War, the old man will report all to the imperial court, and it is only natural that he will become a party Taishou according to the merits made by the champion! ”
In Lu Zhi's tent, his cheerful and hearty chic spread throughout the barracks. But Wen Han was indifferent and said to Lu Zhi.
"At present, the victory or defeat of the thief army with Zhang Jiao is not divided, and it is too early for Lu Gong to speak. Moreover, he was able to make great contributions in a row, thanks to the help of two righteous brothers and the courage of the soldiers and horses under his command. Of course, there are also robes such as the three Xuande brothers. ”
Hearing Wen Han mention Liu Bei, Lu Zhi also smiled proudly, the performance of the three Liu Bei brothers today can be described as good, although Zhang Liang's head was finally taken by Guan Yu first, it is a pity.
But Lu Zhi understands that his precious apprentice background is not bad, and he will have great achievements sooner or later, so he is not worried, the three Liu Bei brothers have no chance to make a splash.
"One side is too guarded?! Wen Bufan is only twenty-two years old, and he can become a party Taishou! And I, Liu Xuande, am still just white..."
Liu Bei looked a little distracted, and his eyes were much more complicated when he looked at Wen Han.
