Chapter 160 Yongchang County Guest, Yueshan County Newspaper
The Southern Barbarian King Meng was in the camp
With the support of Mrs. Zhurong, Meng Shu walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and looked around the left and right, all of them were remnants of defeated soldiers, fires everywhere, and devastation
The two of them suddenly felt a pain in their hearts!
It was originally a camp of 60,000 troops, but now it is only afraid of less than 10,000 people, even if this rout of soldiers is regathered in the future, it is estimated that it will not exceed 30,000, plus the more than 10,000 people left by the marshal of the third cave in the rear, a total of 40,000 troops!
The number is not small, but if you want to block Liu Xiu, the Marquis of Chu, even if it is doubled, it is not enough, not to mention these 40,000 generals, or 40,000 generals with low morale and exhausted courage!
Meng Shu looked at the tragic situation and kept thinking in his heart
I only hate myself for being too arrogant, and I was defeated so easily by a young man who was not a champion on the other side!
It was still easily defeated before the whole army, resulting in a serious decline in the morale of the whole army
"Hey" Meng Shu thought, sighed again, and apologized to Mrs. Zhurong beside him: "It's all because the husband is too arrogant and too proud, and the wife and all the soldiers will suffer with me!" ”
"Husband, it's serious!" Mrs. Zhurong was also in a very bad mood, but she still persuaded her: "Husband should regain confidence and withdraw his troops to prepare for another battle!" ”
"Fight again?!" When Meng Shu heard this, his eyes were distracted, and he seemed to recall the scene of being seriously injured by two moves during the day again, and he trembled all over, if it weren't for the mercy of others, I am afraid that he would have been in a different place today!
"Exactly, we will withdraw the army and gather the scattered soldiers, and we will definitely be able to gather another forty or fifty thousand people, and then we can still compete with the Marquis of Chu!" Mrs. Zhurong swore and said;
When Meng heard this, he shook his head and said: "Now the whole army has been defeated, and the morale is completely lost, and the fighting generals are not enough."
"Hey, even more with my defeat, the prestige of the Nanzhong Barbarian King is gone, whether the throne can be kept is still two words, how can there still be a reputation to gather a routed army!"
"What are you going to do?!" Mrs. Zhurong is naturally a smart person, but after listening to what Meng Shu said, after a moment of silence, she asked, "Husband wants to surrender?!" ”
When Meng Yu heard this, he was stunned again, nodded and said silently: "Madame is pregnant, if you lose the battle again, not only will the throne not be guaranteed, but the Chu army will not be able to surrender even if you are afraid, how can you and the child be born at that time?!" ”
"Husband thinks too much! There's always a way! Mrs. Zhurong raised her eyebrows and postponed;
"Hey!" Although the young Meng Shu was arrogant, he was not so stubborn, not to mention that now he had failed miserably, he was greatly disappointed in his heart, and even began to doubt his own ability
"Come down!"
The two words were like a thousand catties, and Meng was out of breath
The morning sun is slightly dewed, and the summer is rising
Liu Xiu is in the big tent of the Chinese army
"Hahaha" burst of hearty laughter
"This Meng Shu actually descended so quickly?! I wanted to defeat him again tomorrow morning, so that he would be even more embarrassed! Liu Xiu laughed heartily and kept laughing, which showed that he was in a good mood
"Berwyn, Ziyang, and others think there is fraud in this?!" After Liu Xiu was excited, he cautiously asked the people beside him;
"According to Ye, it will not be!" Liu Ye got up and analyzed: "Meng Huo is reckless and arrogant, but he can't think of a plan to surrender!" ”
"Besides, according to the messenger, Meng Huo only sent the letter of surrender at this time, and then he would personally take the guilt of Jing pleading! Therefore, according to Ye, there will be no fraud! Liu Ye admonished;
When Liu Xiu heard this, he looked at Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen shook the feather fan in his hand, and then nodded and smiled without saying a word! Seeing this, Liu Xiu looked around again at the rest of the civil and military generals in the tent
After a while, when he saw that there was no objection, he agreed on the surrender of Meng
However, just as he was about to discuss the rest of the matters with everyone, he suddenly saw a report from the guards outside the tent: "Enlighten the lord! Someone outside the camp asks to see you! ”
"Oh?!" Liu Xiu glanced at the civil and martial arts in the tent, smiled and said in surprise: "Could it be that Meng Shu came to bear the guilt of Jing like this?!" ”
Then he asked the guards outside the tent: "Can the person who came tell me his identity?!" ”
"I just said that I came to offer the letter of surrender!"
"Another book?!" Liu Xiu was a little puzzled, didn't Meng Shu just finish?!
Could it be an assassin?!
Or the people of the high level of Yuejun County?!
Liu Xiu suddenly had some brains, and his mind drifted farther and farther
"Ahem" When Liu Bowen saw Liu Xiu's appearance, he knew what he was doing, so he reminded: "Lord! Presumably, it was the county guard of Yongchang County who sent someone to deliver the letter of surrender! ”
"Oh?!" When Liu Xiu heard this, the next son came back to his senses, noticed his gaffe, and said with some embarrassment: "And invite him to come in and talk!" ”
"Whoa!"
Liu Xiu looked at the person who was standing next and asked to see, only to see that he was dressed as a scribe, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, and he was twenty years old, Liu Xiu secretly probed:
Lv Kai, word Jiping, commander: 60, martial arts: ?? , Gambit: 70, Politics: 75;
'It was him!' ’
Liu Xiu secretly said in his heart, Lu Kai He knows, a rare talent in the land of the Southern Barbarians, but when this person came up, it was also the period of the Three Kingdoms, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came, first Li Hui, Fu Tong, and then this Lu Kai, these future backbone talents of Shu Han actually came to vote, it seems that his reputation has improved, at least he will be regarded as an emperor of the soil!
"What's your name? What's going on here?! Liu Xiu asked knowingly, and said with a serious face;
"In Xia Lu Kai, Ji Ping, people from Buwei County, Yongchang County, meet Chu Hou!" When Lu Kai saw the imposing Liu Xiu and the others in the tent, he was still neither humble nor arrogant, bowed down, and said respectfully: "I came to ask to see the Marquis of Chu this time, and I am offering a letter of surrender for my family Taishou!" Please Chu Hou smiled! ”
"Yeongchang-gun?!" Liu Xiu was a little surprised, he hadn't even hit there yet, and he had offered the book so quickly, could it be that his prestige was really so great
However, Liu Xiu knew that although Yongchang County was the most populous county in Nanzhong, with a population of as many as one million, there were very few soldiers and horses in the county
Before Liu Xiu could think about it for long, Lu Kai seemed to notice something, and quickly explained: "My family is too guarded by the lord Wang Yan, although he is diligent in government and loves the people, but he can't give the people and the county people better food and clothing due to his limited ability!" ”
"Therefore, as soon as my family heard that the Marquis of Chu was driving to the south, he was very happy in his heart, and he specially ordered him to come down and hand over the table, hoping that the Marquis of Chu could lead the people of Yongchang to me!"
Liu Xiu listened to Lu Kai's endless talk, and felt that this person was really too knowledgeable about current affairs!
You must know that this Yongchang County is not Yang Feng's gang, it is not easy to have troops and self-respect, and there are not many soldiers and horses in this Yongchang County
Just as Liu Xiu was about to respond, he heard someone report again: "Lord Qi, the battle report of Yueshan County!" ”
