Chapter Eighty-Nine: Premeditated Raid
"We defeated 100,000 Cao troops, hahaha......"
Many of Liu's soldiers were laughing with tears in their eyes, because they couldn't believe that they could defend Xuzhou City under the disparity in strength. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xu Ning also rode Xiao Huang at this time, panting and looking at Cao Jun's retreat, demented.
Only Liu Jun was left on the entire battlefield, although Liu Jun won this war, but also suffered heavy losses, originally including nearly 50,000 soldiers of Lu Bu's army, only more than 20,000 soldiers at the moment.
Outside the city of Xuzhou, there are pieces of corpses, and all of them are broken arms and stumps outside the city.
The yellow sand ground has been completely submerged in blood, and it is really a river of blood and bones.
Countless soldiers and soldiers of Liu shouted after roaring, because they survived this battlefield, because they won this suspenseful war.
Xu Ning rode on Xiao Huang's back and scanned the countless corpses on the battlefield, a chill spread in his heart, even if Sergeant Liu survived, many of them were irreparably wounded.
On the city wall of Xuzhou, Liu Bei and others were also smiling, but they regretted the dead soldiers on the battlefield.
"Mr. Guo, thank you!" Liu Bei bowed deeply to Guo Jia, who was looking below, and solemnly thanked Guo Jia.
Guo Jia is now determined to follow Liu Bei, so Guo Jia didn't dare to accept Liu Bei's bow like this, Guo Jia hurriedly helped Liu Bei up and said: "Lord, don't say that, the lord is serious." ”
After Liu Bei was helped up by Guo Jia, he slapped Guo Jia's shoulder without saying anything, expressing Liu Bei's attention and gratitude to Guo Jia.
At this time, Liu Bei was a little worried, now that the sergeants of Xuzhou City have experienced this battle, they have to recuperate in a short period of time, and they can't go into battle, and it would be bad if Cao Cao's army came in a roundabout way at this time.
"Mr. Guo, if Cao Jun recovers and is in Linxuzhou, what should we do?" Liu Bei said worriedly to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia responded respectfully to Liu Bei: "Don't worry, my lord, I have sent a few soldiers with good skills to follow behind Cao Jun, the military spirit of Cao Jun in this battle is in chaos, and he must not go far, and he will definitely be stationed not far from Xuzhou to recuperate." ”
"Tonight, I want General Xu to lead a team of men and horses to attack Cao's camp at night." Guo Jia had already thought about how to deal with the departing Cao Jun in his heart.
After Liu Bei heard Guo Jia's answer, he looked at Guo Jia deeply for a few breaths, and then Liu Bei sighed deeply and said, "Alas! Mr. Guo is talented, it is really my Liu Bei's great luck! ”
Guo Jia looked at Liu Bei and smiled silently, he was also a little tired in his heart, fortunately, this battle was not out of his plan.
The Chen Palace and the Xuzhou officials on the side had to admire this unattractive Mr. Guo at this moment, and this battle established Guo Jia's real position in the hearts of everyone.
Subsequently, Liu Bei immediately ordered the soldiers who were not badly injured to clean up the battlefield, and some of the seriously injured soldiers were taken to the city to recuperate.
Xu Ning and the others also immediately obeyed the order to return to the city, and Xiao Huang really played a huge role in this battle, so Xiao Huang let Xu Ning take him back to his residence to rest, and also prepared some livestock for Xiao Huang as a reward.
After arranging these things, Xu Ning received Liu Bei's order to go to the meeting hall in Xuzhou.
"Big brother, brothers."
Xu Ning stepped into the hall and saw Liu Bei and the others, and Xu Ning saw that everyone was happy because of the victory in this war.
"Second brother, it's hard work." Liu Bei is very grateful to his brother in his heart, not only for bringing him this resourceful Guo Jia, but also for working so tirelessly on the battlefield.
Xu Ning didn't dare to be proud, and said modestly to Liu Bei and everyone: "Big brother, this time it's thanks to General Lu and the brothers. ”
Xu Ning glanced at Lu Bu, who had not had time to clean up his clothes, Lu Bu really deserved to be the number one military general in the world, and at this time, Lu Bu's fighting spirit was still rising.
If it weren't for Lu Bu as the vanguard this time, this battle would have been even more difficult, and Lu Bu didn't know how many Cao troops he had resisted.
"Second brother, what's the matter with this big worm?" Liu Bei was extremely curious, he saw the majesty of the tiger under Xu Ning's crotch on the city wall, and a tiger roar shocked countless Cao Jun war horses.
Xu Ning touched his nose and explained: "The tiger met me by chance, and I named it Xiao Huang, because it wanted to follow me, so I took it with me." ”
"I see, this tiger has played a big role on the battlefield!" Liu Bei nodded slightly and said, he was also shocked to see Xiao Huang on the city wall at that time.
Liu Bei then said to Xu Ning: "Second brother, tonight I will let you lead the troops to raid Cao Ying, so that you can rest." ”
"Yes, big brother, Xu Ning knows." Xu Ning clenched his fists and said, he didn't want to let Cao Jun have a chance to attack the city again, so let's take this opportunity to hurt Cao Cao's vitality!
Zhang Fei also got up from his seat at this time and said to Liu Bei and Xu Ning: "Big brother, let me go with my second brother!" It's good to have a response. ”
Liu Bei thought for a while, these four brothers can accompany each other, which can reduce the pressure on the second brother: "Okay, the fourth brother will follow the second brother to raid together, but you have to listen to your second brother." ”
"Hehehe, of course, I'll definitely listen to the second brother." Zhang Fei touched his head and smirked.
After everyone chatted a few more words, Liu Bei asked everyone to leave to recuperate.
Xu Ning also left the council hall and returned to his residence.
In Xu Ning's backyard, Xiao Huang was biting a sheep, a bloody scene and his unappetizing.
"Xiao Huang, you eat slowly." Xu Ning half-squatted next to Xiao Huang and gently stroked its tiger back.
"Whew-"
Xiao Huang was biting at the flesh and flesh while whispering a tiger moan, answering that it was hungry.
Xu Ning chuckled and didn't speak, today really made Xiao Huang tired, and after fighting for so long, even Xu Ning felt very tired.
And I'm going to raid Cao Jun tonight, so let's eat more of this! At night, I will let this cargo carry myself to fight.
Just as Xu Ning stood up, Xu Ning heard a familiar voice.
"Second brother, it turns out that you are here! Let Lao Zhang and I look for it for a long time. ”
Zhang Fei came to the backyard from the side, the corners of Zhang Fei's mouth were about to crack to the corners of his eyes, and he said to Xu Ning with a smile.
"Fourth brother, why don't you have a good rest, we will have another battle in the evening." Xu Ning walked to Zhang Fei's side and patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said.
Zhang Feihan smiled and said that it was okay, and he would have the strength to raid Cao Ying.
"Huh! Second brother, this is the tiger! It's huge! Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, and he directly spared Xu Ning and walked towards Xiao Huang.
Zhang Fei was curious to see what this tiger looked like, and Zhang Fei directly stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Huang's forehead.
"Fourth brother, no, be careful!"
Xu Ning knew that this Xiao Huang hated being disturbed by others when he was eating, so he immediately opened his mouth to stop Zhang Feidao.
