An Fengjin, the camp of the Xiliang Army.

Luo Zheng was in the dust, and before the clothes were unraveled, he convened the generals for the first time.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, more than 20 generals above the rank of captain have already arrived.

Luo Zheng's eyes were scorching, and he said in a deep voice: "What about Yan Xing, have you ever found Sun Ce's army?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "General Yan Xing has broken through the five routes of Jiangdong soldiers and horses, according to the news sent back by our army scouts, the news of the loss of An Fengjin has reached the Jiangdong army, and no less than ten routes of soldiers and horses have gone to Shouchun." ”

Luo Zheng said: "What about Sun Ce, didn't you catch it?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Sun Ce has crossed the Huaishui River to return to Shouchun under the response of the Jiangdong Naval Army. ”

Luo Zheng frowned, "Sun Ce'er ran very fast!" ”

Jia Xu said: "My lord, now Sun Ce has been defeated and retreated, and An Fengjin is in the hands of our army, in a short period of time, the Jiangdong Army has no ability to cross the Huaishui River to the north into the Central Plains, and I think it is time for our army to go to repel Liu Bei and pass through the Central Plains." ”

Luo Zheng said: "Cao A's new defeat took advantage of the situation to enter Xuzhou and completely destroy Cao Cao?" ”

"Lord, don't be in a hurry!"

Jia Xu persuaded: "Although the two states of Yanyu are under today, Cao Cao's power in the two states of Yanyu is deep-rooted, and our army must be stationed city by city to stabilize the situation." General Gao Shun has already sent a letter, saying that there are many bandits in Yanzhou, and the rebellion has been continuous, and he is dividing his troops to suppress the rebellion; Yu "Prefecture is also similar, if it weren't for the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Xuchang, it would have been chaotic long ago. Therefore, it is believed that now is not the time to advance eastward into Xuzhou, our army should do its best to repel Liu Bei, and it is the top priority to stabilize the situation in Yanyu and Xuzhou first. ”

Fa Zheng also said: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, Yanyu and the two states are unstable. Our army will not be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. Moreover, the current situation in Luoyang is also a little unoptimistic, and it is necessary for a large army to guard it in order to deter the younger generation. ”

Luo Zheng frowned. Cao Apu can be said to be a piece of his heart, and it is difficult for him to feel at ease if he does not die.

But reason sued him. Jia Xu and Fa Zheng's mention of yì is right, and the stability of Yanyu and Yu is the top priority.

Cao Cao's influence in the two states of Yanyu was deeply entrenched, and it would take time to eliminate the influence.

Although there were large armies to suppress them, they were now only small rebellions.

But if once the army in Xuzhou fails, it is estimated that all kinds of bulls, ghosts, gods and snakes will jump out and take the opportunity to make trouble, not to mention entering Xuzhou to destroy Cao Apu, the rebels in Yanyu and Henan alone can make the Xiliang army anxious.

If Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and others make a comeback, it will really be a domestic and external dilemma, ice and fire.

Luo Zheng got up and paced under the tent for a while. Only then did he ask again, "Has Xu Huang sent troops?" ”

Jia Xu said: "General Xu Huang has already sent troops. ”

Luo Zheng pondered for a long time before he said: "If you want to withdraw the army, how many soldiers and horses should An Fengjin leave to guard?" ”

Jia Xu thought about it for a while, then stroked his beard and said: "Anfengjin is a strategic place for our army, and if Anfengjin is lost, Yuzhou will be unstable, Sun Ce can enter the Central Plains at any time, and he thinks that at least 20,000 soldiers and horses must be defended to be safe!" ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' before looking at Zhang Liao, the head of the generals. "Wenyuan, An Fengjin will be handed over to you."

Zhang Liao said sonorously: "Don't worry, the lord will live up to his orders." ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and said happily: "Wenyuan will guard An Fengjin." General Ben is naturally relieved! ”

Fa Zhengdao: "My lord, the pursuit of the Jiangdong Army can let General Zhang Liao do it for him, and our army needs to do everything possible to repel the Jingzhou Army!" ”

Luo Zheng pondered for a while. Only then did he say: "That's it, let Yan Xing come back!" ”

"Yes!"

The commanding officer replied. Immediately go down to An to repel the Hou cavalry to find Yan Xing's army.

Zigui West Gate.

The battle ended, and the 2,000 Jingzhou soldiers suffered 30% casualties. Most of them were taken prisoner.

Xu Huang was dressed in iron armor, and strode to the top of the city under the escort of his own soldiers, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the casualties?" ”

The officer on duty replied: "Three hundred and five killed, one hundred and fifty-three seriously wounded, and six hundred and seventy-eight lightly wounded and unable to fight again!" ”

Xu Huang suddenly frowned, 20,000 troops attacked a small city, and the casualties were more than 1,000, although there were only more than 400 soldiers who were killed in battle and seriously injured and would be dismissed, but there were more than 600 lightly injured, and they could not go to the battlefield again for the time being.

Although it was within an acceptable range, the casualties were somewhat large.

Xu Huang said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and let the army rest and recuperate, and continue to march into Yiling tomorrow!" ”

"Yes!"

The commander on duty gave up his order and quickly passed the order.

Xiangyang, the palace of the king of Chu.

"Lord, it's not good!"

Kuai Yue hurriedly entered the inner hall and bowed his hand to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Xeno, what happened?" ”

Kuai Yue's face was solemn and said: "I just received an urgent report from Yiling, and Xu Huang, the general under Luo Zheng, led 20,000 troops out of Wuxia, and broke through Zigui with lightning speed, and drove hundreds of miles into Yiling within ten days, killing Yiling!" ”

"What?"

Liu Qi jumped up directly in shock, and said in a startled voice: "Xu Huang has sent troops?" ”

Kuai Yue nodded and said: "Exactly, since Luo Zheng pacified Xichuan, Xu Huang has been at peace with Jingzhou, and this time leading the army out of Wuxia can be said to be all the disasters caused by Liu Bei's attack on Nanyang." If Liu Bei hadn't run to provoke Luo Zheng, how could Xu Huang send troops. ”

Liu Qi panicked: "How should this be good, how should it be good!" ”

Kuai Yue looked at Liu Qi's panicked appearance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Having such a lord is really the biggest misfortune for people like Kuai Yue, who has real talent and learning.

Although Liu Biao is not a master, he can at least keep his family business.

Compared with Liu Biao, Liu Qi is really much worse.

Just when he heard that Xu Huang sent troops, he was already frightened by the six gods.

Jingzhou has such a monarch, is there any hope?

Although the power is sideways, Liu Qi basically can't be the master of Jingzhou's big and small affairs.

Kuai Yue sorted out his thoughts and said: "The soldiers and horses of Xiangyang are all in the hands of Guan Yu, please ask the lord to quickly summon Guan Yu into the palace to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy!" He then ordered Liu Bei to withdraw his troops back to Xiangyang, so as not to incur Luo Zheng's army to attack. ”

"Good, this is very true!"

Only then did Liu Qi stabilize his mind, nodded again and again, and ordered someone to invite Guan Yu.

After waiting for half an hour, it was not until everyone had arrived that Guan Yu strode over and entered the palace with his sword.

The palace guards did not dare to stop them, and the Jingzhou scholars also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

After Liu Bei led the army to the expedition, the remaining army in Xiangyang was under the control of Guan Yu, and without the support of the army, no one dared to talk nonsense.

"I've seen the King of Chu!"

After Guan Yu entered the palace, he casually arched his hand to Liu Qi.

"General Guan Yu doesn't have to be polite!"

Liu Qiqiang laughed, but didn't dare to say anything.

Although he felt that Guan Yu was really a little arrogant and rude, he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Wang Wei next to him couldn't help it, and said unhappily: "Why is General Guan Yu so rude, have you forgotten the etiquette of the monarch and the minister?" ”

"Huh?"

Guan Yu turned his head to look, and a cold lightning flashed through his long narrow eyes.

Wang Wei only felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Guan Yu again.

Guan Yu snorted heavily, glanced at Wang Wei with disdain, and withdrew his gaze.

Kuai Yue and the others were also very displeased, but they didn't say anything. (To be continued......) R1292
