The next day, as soon as Liu Zhang got up, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others brought him the latest news.

Xun You said: "Son, at the beginning of the morning at the end of Mao, Sun Taishou led the army back to Dazhai!" ”

Liu Zhang showed a clear expression and said lightly: "Is Lord Sun really defeated?" ”

Xun You said again: "Yes, the big defeat, there are only hundreds of soldiers and horses with him, all of them are crooked, very embarrassed!" ”

Liu Zhang's brows furrowed: "The loss is so big? ”

Guo Jia said: "The purpose of the night attack is to disrupt the enemy, so that the enemy will bomb the camp, and the damage will not be so huge. However, there is a disadvantage of night attacks, if the attacked side is not prepared, most of the enemy will be in chaos when the enemy situation is unknown, and the soldiers are as anxious as lost dogs in the dark night, panic and flee for their lives, and cannot return to the establishment for the time being. After dawn, there should be soldiers fleeing back one after another! ”

Liu Zhang nodded: "How did Lord Sun defeat the army, can you hear clearly?" ”

Xun You said: "I have inquired and understood, after Lord Sun won the first battle, the enemy avoided him like a tiger and did not dare to fight. After a few days, Lord Sun couldn't fight, and he was very angry, but he gradually developed a heart to despise the enemy. The enemy seized the opportunity of Sun Daren's paralysis, and took advantage of the night to hang hundreds of soldiers from the city with ropes, and solved Sun Daren's sentry, and then the army unknowingly drove out of Bishui Pass, and then the soldiers divided into two roads, all the way to the east, and all the way to attack Sun Daren. Lord Sun was caught off guard by the enemy and broke into the camp, suffering heavy casualties, and led hundreds of personal soldiers to fight out of the siege under the escort of his eldest son and the four strong generals, but broke Zu Mao. ”

Liu Zhang nodded: "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, Gu Xun is honest and I don't deceive me!" And he said, "What is the situation of the battalion in the rear?" ”

Xun Yu said: "After the investigation of the inferior people, the princes are safe and sound, and the generals have not suffered any losses. But the wounds were severe. According to rough estimates, more than 20,000 of the princes were killed in the battle, more than 30,000 were wounded, and about 20,000 to 35,000 soldiers fled during the enemy attack and did not return! Among them, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao and Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao were seriously damaged. Chen Liuzhang was too guarded, and before the sky was clear, he had already sent envoys to mobilize reinforcements! ”

"In this way, this night, our army's losses were about 80,000, and since all the escapees have returned, the losses of soldiers have still reached an astonishing more than 50,000!"

"Yes!" Xun Yu said: "In this battle, the strength of my middle route army is three out of ten, which can be described as a fiasco!" The most serious thing is that this battle has greatly destroyed the morale of our allies, and the far-reaching impact may even jeopardize the success or failure of this alliance! ”

"Alas, the matter has come to this, it is useless to worry, let's focus on the future war!" Liu Zhang said.

Xun Yu said: "After this defeat, the princes of all walks of life, who were already stagnant, are even more afraid of the enemy army, and I am afraid that they will never take the initiative to attack again!" ”

"Do your best!" Liu Zhang also has no good way, others are soft-spoken, others will not listen to him at all, and he has also offended Yuan Shao, the most powerful in the alliance, if he wants to pass any resolution among the allies, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will obstruct it layer by layer. Of course, he didn't think that the princes would really fight with Dong Zhuo, this long sigh and a look of worry about the country and the people were really dissatisfied with the status quo, and they were also deliberately done for Xun Yu and others to see.

Liu Zhang knew that today must be an eventful day, and after a hasty breakfast, a personal soldier came in to report, saying that Liu Dai had summoned the princes to discuss the matter.

Liu Zhang immediately took Xun's uncle and nephew, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and Liu Zhang would also bring Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia to discuss the past discussions, but these two people are informal, often they don't leave their bodies, sometimes they are deliberating, the smell of wine wafts in the handsome tent, and the princes are very angry, fortunately, they are all scholars and have self-cultivation, otherwise someone would have scolded them a long time ago, and even asked someone to pull them out to engage in military law! What's more, in the words of the two of them, listening to the princes' nonsense, they can't get a result in a year, it's useless to listen to it, it's better to drink alcohol and listen to music, Liu Zhang also felt the same way after hearing their complaints, so he didn't force them.

Liu Zhang was the last to arrive, and as soon as he stepped into the camp, he noticed that the atmosphere was very different, an atmosphere of suspicion and frustration pressed against him.

Liu Zhang first met with Liu Dai, and then told the princes one by one about the belated crime. Although Liu Dai, Kong Rong and Sun Jian, who had not seen him for many days, had ugly faces, they had all received Liu Zhang's favor, and they all reluctantly smiled and returned the salute. The other princes, especially Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, were all dead, as if they hadn't heard Liu Zhang's words; Qiao Mao, Han Fu and others who were less injured and did not even receive an attack were happy, but they also had a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, so their emotions were not high; Only Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang clearly saw a trace of excitement from the corner of his eyes, could it be that he failed to become the leader of the alliance, so he was looking forward to the defeat of the coalition? Let Liu Dai be greatly embarrassed, and he will be the leader of the alliance again without face, and then choose another meritocracy? Of course, this is just Liu Zhang's speculation. In fact, his guess is not too different, Yuan Shao accidentally missed the position of the leader of the alliance, although the culprit is Liu Zhang, but for Liu Dai, who "seized" his throne as the leader of the alliance, he also has a deep resentment, last night his military camp was in the rear, not attacked by the enemy, and it was not damaged at all, and then saw Liu Dai so embarrassed, how could he not be happy? If you want to say unhappy, there are too! Why was Liu Zhang's barracks not attacked! Yuan Shao asked the heavens secretly.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, and after everyone exchanged a few words, Liu Dai, who was in the main position, announced the start of the discussion.

First of all, he reported the losses of the princes, although Liu Zhang had already received the news, but after all, it was not true, but at this time, the princes personally recognized it, listening to the shocking figures, he had to have a new understanding of the cruelty of the war, and at the same time, he also strengthened his determination to calm the world!

When it was Liu Zhang's turn to report his losses, Liu Zhang secretly exaggerated the losses, and he told everyone that his troops had suffered 1,200 casualties when they rescued Liu Dai and Kong Rong last night, and that the enemy had lost more than 2,000 people when they retreated to pursue him. Liu Dai saw that everyone was defeated, only Liu Zhang won a big victory, annihilating thousands of enemies, he couldn't help but be very happy, and praised it well, and the princes also said polite words such as some years of indifference. Liu Zhang took the opportunity to say that his troops suffered heavy casualties, and he was afraid that he would not be able to afford to fight the enemy for the time being. Liu Daidang agreed, asking him to treat the wounded soldiers well, strengthen training, restore combat strength, and rejoin the war against the enemy as soon as possible.

However, after discussing who was the pioneer and attacked the Bishui Pass, it immediately entered the time of ripping, and you pushed me to let a good humility and compliment, obviously, no one wanted to be this rafter......
