Youzhou Army, inside the camp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Tian Zhao sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the soldiers under his command resisted the attack of the Guanyang County army.
Shouts of murder echoed through the camp.
The battle is still going on.
Tian Zhao didn't have a trace of worry on his face, his expression remained unchanged, and he had a calm expression.
Below, sat a thin-looking middle-aged scribe.
This person's name is Cao Zheng, and he is Tian Zhao's staff.
Tian Zhao had expectation in his eyes, and said: "After Guan Hai set up camp, he has been defending and avoiding it. We attacked many times, but to no avail. Today, Guan Hai took the initiative to fight and kept attacking the camp, there was a reason for it, it seems that Liu Xuan should arrive in Guanyang County. ā
Cao Zheng chuckled twice and replied, "They did this just to delay the general's army and prevent the general from robbing and killing Liu Xuan." It's a pity that everything was expected by the general. ā
When Tian Zhao heard this, he laughed loudly.
Cao Zheng smiled slightly and continued: "Chu Yi is a great general under the general, brave and resolute, and unstoppable. He led 600 elite cavalry to rob and kill Liu Xuan, and these soldiers were all brave and brave. On the other hand, Liu Xuan's side, although there are soldiers to protect him, but along the way, the number of soldiers around Liu Xuan has become smaller and smaller, and after several battles, he has long been exhausted and vulnerable. ā
Tian Zhao nodded, his eyes were expectant, and said: "Once Liu Xuan is killed, the situation in Guanyang County will be self-defeating, this battle will be won, and the subjugation of Donglai County is just around the corner." ā
"Bell! Clang! ā
The sound of a gong suddenly came from outside the camp.
Tian Zhao heard the voice and said, "The army in Guanyang County has begun to retreat. ā
After a while, the shouting of killing subsided.
A general in the army walked in, clenched his fists and said, "General, the enemy troops have all withdrawn."
Tian Zhao instructed: "Straighten out the soldiers, count the results and losses." ā
"No!"
The general clenched his fists in response, turned and withdrew.
Cao Zheng's eyes rolled, he thought for a moment, and said, "The withdrawal of the troops in Guanyang County means that Liu Xuan's side should have a result. Congratulations to the general, General Hexi, it must be Liu Xuan who was killed, and the news has reached the ears of the army in Guanyang County. ā
When Tian Zhao heard this, his face was also happy.
That's the truth.
Only in this way will the army in Guanyang County retreat.
"Report!"
The voice of urgency came from outside the tent.
A soldier ran in, and the soldier knelt on one knee and reported: "General Qiyu, the operation to rob and kill Liu Xuan has failed. General Chu Yi was killed in battle, and nearly half of the six hundred elite cavalry were lost. ā
"What?"
Tian Zhao stood up with an unbelievable expression on his face, and asked, "Impossible, how is this possible?" ā
Six hundred elite riders, all of them elite.
How could such a soldier fail? Especially Chu Yi also died in battle, it is even more impossible.
The soldier said: "General Chu Yi really died in battle. ā
"Bastard, rubbish!"
Tian Zhao sat down dejectedly, his face full of anger.
He had great hopes, and even Chu Yi patted his chest and promised.
Tian Zhao never expected that this would be the result.
Unwilling!
Tian Zhao's heart was full of unwillingness.
Cao Zheng waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat, and persuaded him: "General, the matter has come to this point, no matter how angry you are, it will not help." The plan to rob and kill Liu Xuan failed, and we will attack Liu Xuan again. Liu Xuan only has a small Guanyang County, and he can't afford to make waves. ā
Tian Zhao took a deep breath to adjust his emotions and ordered: "Cao Zheng, pass the order down and convene the generals in the army to discuss the matter." ā
"No!"
Cao Zheng surrendered his hand and went down to make arrangements.
ā¦ā¦
Liu Xuan and his entourage returned to the camp and first settled the soldiers under Xiahou Dun, as well as Diao Chan and other family members.
The Chinese army tent, the guest and the host are seated.
Liu Xuan introduced the situation of Jia Xu and Shi A in front of Guo Jia, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, Mi Zhu and others.
Then, Liu Xuancai looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Tell me about the current situation." ā
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Tian Zhao led the army to kill and besieged Guanyang County for a while. During this period, the reason why we did not fight back was because the lord had not yet returned. When the lord returned to Guanyang County, he could start to fight back. ā
Liu Xuan asked, "Is there a way to defeat Tian Zhao?" ā
Guo Jia said confidently: "Naturally! ā
Liu Xuandao: "Tell me about your plans and arrangements. ā
Guo Jia's expression was serious, and he said slowly: "During this time, I confronted Tian Zhao, and in order to confuse Tian Zhao, I constantly sent people to buy food everywhere. This news reached Tian Zhao's ears. This time, the plan was carried out using grain as an introduction. Specific arrangements, we do this,......,...... We figured out Tian Zhao's situation, but Tian Zhao was not familiar with us. In this battle, our army will win. ā
Liu Xuan carefully deduced it, and also thought that Guo Jia's plan was feasible. Liu Xuan asked everyone's opinions, and when he saw that everyone agreed, he ordered: "Since you have a detailed plan, start implementing it." ā
"No!"
Guo Jia looked calm and sat down again.
Liu Xuan briefly inquired about the general situation in other aspects, and then dismissed everyone.
Shi A walked in and reported: "Lord, Xiahou asks to see you." ā
"Please!"
Liu Xuan waved his hand, and after a while, Xiahoudun walked in.
After Xiahoudun sat down, Zhengse said: "Uncle Liu Huang has returned to Guanyang County safely, and the task of this general can be regarded as a successful completion." Today I will rest in the camp for a day, and tomorrow morning, I will lead the army back with my army. ā
Liu Xuan's face was serious, and he said: "General Xiahou, there is Tian Zhao's army in Beihai, and it is not peaceful at the moment. More than half of the soldiers under your command have lost, and it may be dangerous to lead the remaining more than 200 soldiers back. ā
Xiahoudun said confidently: "Without the drag of the old and weak women and children, Tian Zhao's army can't stop me." Uncle Liu's concern, Xiahou understood it, but there are still many things in Yanzhou, and he will have to go back. ā
Liu Xuan sighed lightly: "General Xiahou escorted me back, and I am about to leave again, I haven't fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, and I really can't help it." ā
Xiahoudun said: "Uncle Liu Huang doesn't have to care about the matter. ā
Liu Xuan commanded: "Shia! ā
"In!"
Shi Ah hurriedly walked in and bowed.
Liu Xuan instructed: "Take five hundred gold." ā
"No!"
After Shi Ah retreated, he went to get the money.
Xiahoudun understood what Liu Xuan meant, and suddenly frowned and said, "Uncle Liuhuang, you don't need money." The general led the army to escort Uncle Liu Huang, and he was ordered to escort him, and he did not need to be paid. ā
Liu Xuan shook his head and said resolutely: "General Xiahou was ordered to escort him, but the soldiers under his command suffered and died. Five hundred gold is not for General Xiahou, but for the living soldiers and the dead soldiers. This is a part of my heart, and I ask General Xiahou to accept it on their behalf. ā
Xiahoudun was silent for a while, and finally did not refuse.
For the sake of the dead soldiers, he could not refuse.
Liu Xuan changed his words and continued: "After General Xiahou went back, he told Cao Yanzhou that I had stabilized the situation in Beihai and would definitely counterattack Tian Kai. If Cao Yanzhou still did not defeat Yuan Shu's army at that time, I should have led the army to help. ā
Xiahoudun said: "Thank you Uncle Liuhuang." ā
The purpose of escorting Liu Xuan was to let Liu Xuan contain Tian Kai, and Liu Xuan made it clear that Xiahoudun was down-to-earth.
