Under the protection of Huang Zhong, Liu Hu gathered the remnants of the defeated army.

Subsequently, he ordered to retreat fifteen miles, set up camp, and stabilize his position, only then did he find Huang Zhong and thank him in person.

Looking at Huang Zhong, Liu Hu felt very uncomfortable.

He didn't expect that the little Huyang would be so troublesome. originally wanted to suppress Huang Zhong, but in the end, he had to rely on Huang Zhong to stabilize the war. On the one hand, I was secretly admiring, and on the other hand, I was a little annoyed. Liu Hu was annoyed by his own defeat, and also annoyed that Huang Zhong had stolen the limelight...... Of course, he also knew that if there was no Huang Zhong, maybe he would have died under Huyang City.

"Hansheng, thanks to your timely arrival this time, we won't be defeated."

Huang Zhong hurriedly said: "General Juyan should not be polite, and Zhong is just at the right time."

It's just that now that the thief of the Cao family has arrived in Huyang with reinforcements, how to deal with it next, please make plans in advance. Loyal to Huyang City, and confronted the thief. This person is not the kind of person who does not live up to his name, and I ask the general to be more vigilant. ”

Speaking of which, Huang Zhong is kind.

He just wanted to remind Liu Hu not to take it lightly.

But this originally very ordinary sentence, listening to Liu Hu's ears, completely changed the taste.

Very awkward in his heart, Liu Hu glanced at Huang Zhong, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the old general's reminder, I know...... The old general came from Tangzi Township to escort grain and grass, and he must have been tired. Why don't you go and rest first, and then go to battle with the army tomorrow, how about it? ”

Huang Zhong originally wanted to say that he was not tired, but seeing that Liu Hu seemed to have no intention of talking to him, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"In this way, General Juyan also rested early, and the last general will leave."

After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he retreated and strode out of the military tent.

After Huang Zhong left, Liu Hu's face suddenly became extremely ugly, he spat and cursed in a low voice: "How dare you underestimate me? Tomorrow, I will behead that Cao Peng, and humiliate you, an old horseman, in a good life, to see if you dare to be proud. ”

At that moment, the curtain was raised.

A scribe walked in from outside and waved his hand at Liu Hu.

"Who is the Major General angry with?"

Liu Hu saw the person who came clearly, and suddenly showed a smile, he beckoned to the person to sit down, and said with a smile: "Who else can you be angry with, isn't it Huang Hansheng's old man?" Bo Fu, have the soldiers stabilized? What are the casualties today? But what about the strength to fight again? ”

The person who came, named Han Xuan, the word Bofu, is a native of Nanjun.

This person works under Liu Biao's account, although he is a Jing person, he is not particularly close to Jingxiang Group, but is very close to Liu Hu. He is now under Liu Hu's account, serving as the chief bookkeeper, responsible for various matters such as baggage in the army. Hearing Liu Hu's inquiry, Han Xuan hurriedly took out the file and handed it to Liu Hu with both hands.

"General, the damage has been registered.

Huyang withdrew its troops today, with about 1,500 dead and wounded, but the damage caused to Cao's army must have been greater...... Xuan once heard that there was an artifact in Cao Juncheng, called the Eight Bull Crossbow, which was amazingly powerful. Liu Xuande's mastermind Xun Chen seems to have been shot by that kind of eight-bull crossbow. According to the battle situation in the past two days, I think Huyang is not equipped with this kind of weapon...... However, Cao Peng arrived with reinforcements today, and he may carry a crossbow from eight oxen. If this is the case, if you will fight with the Cao army again in the coming day, please pay more attention to the general, so as not to be attacked by the Cao army. ”

What Han Xuan said won Liu Hu's heart very much.

We have more than a thousand dead, and Huyang's losses must have been heavier.

Although he was also reminding Liu Hu to be careful, it was obviously different from Huang Zhong's way of reminding.

Huang Zhong is reminding Liu Hu to be careful of Cao Peng; But Han Xuan asked Liu Hu to be careful of the eight-bull crossbow of the Raushzi. It's all a kind reminder, and the effect is completely different. Liu Hu is young and vigorous, and he has just suffered a big loss, so of course he feels uncomfortable. He lost, but Huang Zhong won, isn't this obviously mocking him for being incompetent? But if you're just careful with your ordnance, that's a different concept.

Because the ordnance was brought by Cao Peng, it naturally took Cao Peng with him.

Han Xuan's words were to persuade Liu Hu: You lost, but not to Cao Peng. Cao Peng relied on some strange items to achieve victory, not by real skills.

In this way, Liu Hu's heart is much more comfortable......

"Huyang, what's the situation?"

Liu Hu changed his words and no longer cared about his own losses, but asked about Cao Jun's condition.

Han Xuan said: "Cao Peng did not enter the city, but ordered to be stationed outside the city. He and Li Yan were stationed in the west of the city, built on the mountain, blocking the official road; The other camped along the Tang River, echoing each other on the left and right. But according to the scout's report, Cao's reinforcements were not many, and it seemed that they were only a few thousand. They set up camps on the left and right, just to buy time for Huyang to build a city wall...... Therefore, Xuan speculated that Cao's army was insufficient, and Cao Peng must have wanted to defend Huyang in order to win reinforcements. Therefore, the major general must not give him time to breathe, and immediately ask for more troops to continue to put pressure on Huyang...... Since Li Wende persuaded Gongzi, it is better to ask him to increase his troops, how about it? ”

When Liu Hu heard this, he nodded again and again.

What Han Xuan said was that it was not leaking, which made him very satisfied.

After he pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "What Bo Fu said is reasonable, then I will bother you to make a hard trip, rush to Chaoyang overnight, and ask Li Wende to increase his troops to support." Within three days, be sure to take Huyang. In this way, even if my uncle blames him, he won't embarrass you and me. ”

"Then the lowly duty will leave immediately."

Han Xuan showed the attitude that a strategist should have, and hurriedly got up to answer the order.

After sending Han Xuan away, Liu Hu's mood improved a lot. He walked out of the tent, took his entourage, and made rounds in the barracks......

"Today, if it weren't for the arrival of General Hansheng, I would have almost lost my life."

"yes, yes......"

"But I don't understand, why doesn't General Liu use General Hansheng? General Hansheng's bravery was enough to make the enemy panic, but it was a pity to leave him in Tangzi Township and abandon him. ”

"You know!"

Liu Hu suddenly stopped and listened intently outside a tent.

"It's not that the major general is narrow-minded, and he is worried that General Hansheng will steal the limelight from him...... As a result, it was up to General Hansheng to stabilize his position.

It's a pity!

If General Boulder had commanded the troops, there would have been no such situation. ”

Liu Hu's face suddenly turned pale.

He stood outside the tent and said nothing. After a long time, he suddenly turned around and walked straight to the military tent.

Even those soldiers feel that they are inferior to Liu Pan, and they are not even as good as a dog under Liu Pan? How could he Liu Hu swallow this breath?

No, Huang Zhong must not be allowed to fight again, otherwise people will look down on him even more.

"General, why bother with a bunch of people who don't know right from wrong?

Otherwise, the lowly will bring people over, arrest them, and punish them severely...... Let's see if they dare to chew their tongues behind their backs. ”

"Doesn't that mean that my heart is empty?"

Liu Hu was furious and scolded sharply: "What do you say, why bother? Besides, today it is indeed the old general who has made a contribution. Don't mention this again, I have my own plans. ”

Liu Hu drove a group of relatives out of the military tent and sat alone in the big tent.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

There seems to be a fire in his chest, and if he can't vent it, he will definitely be angry to death. However, he also had to admit that today was indeed thanks to Huang Zhong. No, this matter can't just be left at that! If I can't save face, how can I command the troops and horses in the future, and how can I serve the people? Not to mention, he won't be able to gain a foothold in front of his uncle in the future...... If I use Huang Zhong, others will say that Liu Jushi has the wisdom to know people and make good use of them; But if I don't use Huang Zhong, it will be really difficult to defeat Cao Peng.

What to do? What should I do?

Liu Hu couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the couch until the fifth watch of the rooster's crow, and then he fell asleep in a daze.

But even so, he was not at ease in his sleep......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the second day, Liu Hu still didn't come up with a solution.

Unexpectedly, before he could send troops to fight, Cao Jun suddenly came outside the military camp.

Liu Hu was shocked, hurriedly ordered his troops and horses, and led the crowd out of the barracks. The morning sun was rising, and I saw a soldier and horse in the distance, already in formation.

Under the flag, a general dismounted from his horse, painted a halberd in his hand, and was circling his horse.

Liu Hu recognized at a glance that the general was the one who almost took his life yesterday...... According to Huang Zhong's introduction, this person should be Cao Peng, the Taishou of Nanyang County. Looking at his appearance, people are like tigers, horses are like dragons, and he is extremely spiritual. Although the number of Cao Jun is small, they are full of morale and full of energy. Liu Hu saw that it was Cao Peng, and his eyes immediately turned red, and he immediately rushed out of the military formation......

"Cao Peng, are you here to confer the title?"

Are you here to die?

Cao Peng reined in front of the army and glanced at Liu Hu, revealing contempt.

"If your subordinates are defeated, you still dare to fight?"

Cao Peng sneered, turned the horse and walked back.

In that appearance, it was obvious that he didn't take Liu Hu in his eyes, but he was so angry that Liu Hu's body trembled.

He roared, urging the horse to rush forward and fight with Cao Peng against the three lilies. Who knows, without waiting for Cao Peng to make a move, a general rushed out from under the flag gate. got off the horse in the crotch, was shot in the palm, and stopped Liu Hu at once, "Jumping beam clown, why do you have to make a move from my son-in-law?" Li Yan is here, waiting for a long time! ”

Li Yan!

Liu Hu was furious, jumped on the horse with a gun, and fought with Li Yan.

To put it bluntly, Li Yan's martial arts are not bad, he has crossed the threshold of a first-class general, and he can fight a tie with Liu Hu. Cao Peng was under the flag gate and did not pay attention to Li Yan and Liu Hu. He paid attention to the movements of Jingzhou soldiers, but he didn't see Huang Zhong's figure.

This shows that Kuaizheng is right.

There must be some kind of unknown contradiction or conflict between Liu Hu and Huang Zhong.

Otherwise, Huang Zhong made such a great contribution yesterday, and Liu Hu went to war today, how could he not bring Huang Zhong here? Cao Peng's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Li Yan said: "Huang Zhong is invincible! ”

Cao Peng thought so.

Li Yan offered a plan, "Since Liu Hu and Huang Zhong are not very harmonious, no matter what the reason, as long as they continue to stir up the contradiction between the two of them and cause them to misunderstand, then Huang Zhong should not be afraid." The last general thinks, why not use the divisive plan to intensify their contradictions? ”

Discord meter?

Cao Peng's mind echoed Li Yan's words yesterday, and a strange smile flashed on his face unconsciously.

It seems that Li Zhengfang's plan is very likely to succeed......
