Chapter 355: Defeated

On the south bank, Yang Qiu, who fled ashore first, looked at this tragic scene, and his face was distorted to the point that he was not human. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

According to a rough estimate, he lost at least nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in this battle.

As the most important commander of the Liangzhou military, Han Sui dared to hand over the 30,000 main army to him out of trust in him, so that he could rest assured and boldly pursue Zhang Yuan.

Who would have thought that he would fold more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to Han Sui in the first battle, and the defeat was so tragic that his face was damaged, not to mention, how would he face Han Sui after he went back?

Moreover, having lost so many soldiers and horses, on the front line of Nanyang, they have reversed compared with Zhang Yuan's troops, not to mention recapturing the Son of Heaven and destroying Zhang Yuan, I am afraid that Zhang Yuan will take advantage of the victory to chase after them, and they will not even be able to defend Chang'an.

The painful Yang Qiu looked at the other side from afar, the big banner of the word "Zhang" flying proudly in the wind, and the hideous and distorted face was surging with horror and resentment.

"Zhang thief, I didn't expect you to be so treacherous, today's shame, I Yang Qiu remembered, you waited for me......"

Yang Qiu gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't dare to stay for a moment, so he could only lead his remaining more than 10,000 defeated troops and hurriedly continued to retreat south.

Zhang Yuan, who was on the other side, only sneered and watched Yang Qiu's defeated army flee.

"Tick...... The system scans, and the host wins the Battle of Shuishui, gaining 30 brutality points. In the brain, a system elf prompt sounded.

"Pit dad, this battle killed more than 20,000 enemy soldiers, and only then did I give 1 point of brutality." Zhang Yuan complained.

"According to the principle of Gong Heng, although the enemy general Yang Qiu has a large number of troops, his command ability is low, so he ......"

"Okay, okay, I'm just talking casually, don't get excited, don't explain to me your principle of weighing anymore, my ears will be calloused."

Zhang Yuan knew that the system elf was going to talk at length again, so he quickly interrupted it.

"Husband, why don't we chase across the river, take Chang'an back in one go, and clean up Han Sui." Fan Lihua said excitedly.

Zhang Yuan sneered and waved his knife: "Do you need to ask, the whole army will cross the river and retake Chang'an with me." ”

……

Chang'an, the lobby of the palace.

Han Sui wrote his own calligraphy, and showed his calligraphy talent with great interest.

Although he is a prince, Han Sui always has to be a vassal and elegant, and when this spring breeze is proud, he is interested and naturally writes a few words.

Liang Xing and other Hou Wu's subordinates gathered around the bookcase, commenting and admiring from time to time.

"The word lord is vigorous but timeless, and it is wonderful to have calligraphy." Liang Xing praised and offered a glass of water.

Han Sui put down his pen, raised his glass and took a drink, looking down at the masterpiece that was about to be completed, and his firm face swelled with pride.

Liang Xing concentrated on his masterpiece and fine taste, and praised: "The artistic conception of the master's penmanship is really deep in the magic of calligraphy, and he is ashamed of himself." ”

"Liang Xing praised it falsely, it's just a random work." Han Sui was humble on his lips, but he couldn't suppress the smug look on his face.

Liang Xing saw Han Sui going to Xing, and took advantage of the situation and said: "The lord sent General Yang to lead an army of 30,000 to pursue Zhang Yuan. ”

"Although Zhang Yuan is treacherous, but there is a military formation taught by Liang Xing, as long as Yang Qiu pursues steadily, how can he be invincible." Han Sui's tone was extremely confident, and he couldn't take his eyes off admiring his masterpiece when he spoke.

Liang Xing hurriedly laughed and said: "What the lord said is that although the thief Zhang is treacherous, there is General Yang out of the horse, and there is the military array offered by Xing, it is expected that the thief Zhang has nothing to do, maybe at this time, General Yang has rescued the Son of Heaven and is on the way back to Chang'an." ”

Han Sui smiled, a trace of pride appeared on his firm face, although his eyes were staring at the calligraphy and paintings on the case, it seemed to have appeared in his mind that he was coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes shine in the future.

In the midst of laughter, Han Sui picked up the pen again, wanting to take advantage of the excitement to write a few more words.

When he was smiling proudly, a personal soldier hurriedly entered and shouted: "Lord, the big thing is not good, General Yang has returned defeated." ”

Bang!

The pen in his hand fell suddenly, and Han Sui's whole person froze there, and his shocked expression instantly swelled with horror.

Liang Xing was also stunned, and everyone's appreciative voices disappeared in an instant, and the entire hall fell into a death-like silence.

Time seemed to freeze, and everyone's face was frozen in a moment of horror, and there was an illusion that they were about to suffocate.

The smugness and smugness on Han Sui's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a blank and shocked.

"How is this possible!" Han Sui drank in a deep voice, threw down the pen in his hand, and strode out of the lobby.

Liang Xing and other subordinates also woke up suddenly and hurriedly followed.

Han Sui and the others left the house and rode straight to the north gate.

As soon as Han Sui went to the city, he saw that in the direction of the avenue, hundreds of his own soldiers were discouraged, supporting each other towards Xiangyang.

There were as many as 30,000 soldiers when they left, but when they returned, they were less than 10,000.

Realizing this, Yang Qiu was not only defeated, but also lost nearly 20,000 of his elite soldiers in the first battle.

The cruel truth is in front of him, and Han Sui does not accept it.

"How can this be, my 30,000 elite soldiers are far better than Zhang Thief, and I also reminded Yang Qiu not to underestimate the enemy, why did he lose so badly?"

Han Sui's mood was both painful and confused, the fact in front of him was beyond his comprehension, and he couldn't figure out how Zhang Yuan miraculously defeated his army of 30,000.

Liang Xing and others, who were subordinates on the left and right, were also shocked, and they couldn't figure out the truth even after racking their brains, and they all fell into a daze.

The city gate opened, and the defeated army entered the city in despair, and soon, the news of Yang Qiu's defeat spread throughout the city, and the remaining 7,000 Liangzhou troops in the city were all panicked.

Among the defeated soldiers, the disgraced Yang Qiu also entered the city, and he was ashamed to climb the city and come to see Han Sui.

"Yang Qiu, you-"

The first time he saw Yang Qiu, Han Sui was angry, and he wanted to reprimand him harshly when he opened his mouth.

When the words came to his mouth, the scolding words were full of scolding, but he swallowed them back alive.

There is no way, who let this person in front of him not only be the main supporter of his rule in Liangzhou, but not long ago he married Yang Qiu's sister and became his brother-in-law.

"Alas-" Gritting his teeth for a long time, Han Sui could only sigh with a deep disappointment in his eyes.

Yang Qiu was also ashamed, knelt on the ground, admitted that he had no way to command, and asked Han Sui to punish him.

In this big defeat, Han Sui's losses are not unmistakable, if you talk about responsibility, Yang Qiu, as the former commander of the army, does have an unshirkable responsibility.

Han Sui was angry in his heart, knowing that it would be difficult to convince everyone if he did not cure Yang Qiu's crime, but if he punished the crime, he had all kinds of worries and could not do it.

Just when Han Sui was in a dilemma, Liang Xing saw his scruples and hurriedly said: "Lord, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, although General Yang is at fault for his miscommand, but in the end, it is caused by the thief being too treacherous, and please don't blame General Yang too much." ”
