"Smack!" slapped heavily on the low table in front of him, Liu Wei frowned, looked around at the people in the hall, and said coldly: "In the first battle of Shouchun, our army suffered heavy casualties, Han Xian was killed in battle, and Cao's army attacked the city for days, seeing that the city was broken, what do you think should be done?" ”

The people who were questioned by Liu were Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others whom he relied on.

Everyone lowered their heads and did not say a word, Guo Jia actually came to besiege the city before the army was about to enter Shouchun, which was really unexpected by each of them.

"I only prevented the Cao army from besieging the city and sending reinforcements, but I didn't consider that they would not besiege the city first, but beat the reinforcements and then besiege the city, tens of thousands of soldiers were buried in the battlefield, do you have nothing to say?" Everyone was speechless, Liu Wei became more and more annoyed, and asked in a cold voice.

It's no wonder that Liu Wei was so angry.

Since he led the army to the expedition, he has never suffered such a big loss, whether it is from the stragglers who did not receive much training at the beginning, to the Luoyang army later, and even to the Qin army today.

Liu Wei also knew that the defeat of this battle had an inseparable relationship with him.

The Qin army has won too many victories, not to mention the soldiers, even he, the king of Qin, is a little fluttering in his heart.

The arrogant army will be defeated, and the battle of the Cao army is just like a crisp slap in the face to Liu Wei and the entire Qin army, and it also wakes Liu Wei and all the Qin army soldiers from victory.

The war continued, and if the Qin army could not wake up from the arrogance of winning every battle, there would be countless defeats like the Battle of Shouchun in the future.

Tightly frowning, Liu Wei's eyes roamed the faces of everyone in the hall.

It's already happening, and even if there is any strategy at this time, it won't help.

Xu Shu and the others all lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.

They all knew that Liu Wei was angry just because he had never failed, and he couldn't accept the reality of failure for a while.

Finally, Liu Wei's feelings eased, he sighed deeply, and said to Xu Shu and the others: "That's it, since our army has been defeated, and now that Lu Bu and the others are still surrounded in Shouchun City, what do you think they should do before they can be welcomed out?" ”

Pang Tong's eyes rolled, and after thinking for a while, he stood up and clenched his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Royal Highness, the Cao army is already surrounding Shouchun like an iron bucket at the moment, if our army rushes to help, it will definitely be intercepted and killed by the Cao army halfway." His Majesty thought that it would be better to ...... than to go to Shouchun."

Only halfway through the words, Pang Tong didn't say anything more, and raised his head to look at Liu Wei.

Staring directly at Pang Tong, Liu Wei frowned, and was silent for a moment before saying: "The Cao army is besieging Shouchun, and the Xuchang area must be well defended, if our army is directly approaching Xuchang, I am afraid that it will be ambushed by the Cao army!" ”

"Our army is approaching Xuchang, but it's just a cover!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Pang Tong said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness can go to Xuzhou, inform Liu Bei, and ask him to send troops to Shouchun, while our army will feint to attack Xuchang and fight with the enemy who came to intercept it, but the real intention is to protect Xia Cai!" ”

At the mention of Xia Cai, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, watched Pang Tong raise his hand and slapped his forehead and said, "If it weren't for Shiyuan's reminder, this king almost missed a big thing." Xia Cai is on the north bank of Huaishui, holding the key rush, Cao Cao broke Shouchun, how not to take down Cai? ”

"Someone!" Having already made a decision, Liu Wei shouted outside the hall: "Hurry up and invite the two generals Zhang Liao and Tai Shici to come!" ”

A guard stood outside the hall, clenched his fists in response, and conveyed Liu Wei's order.

Frowning, Liu Wei thought for a long time before asking Xu Shu and the others in the hall: "If Liu Bei refuses to send troops, what will he do?" ”

"Your Highness!" As soon as Liu Wen's question was asked, Chen Gong stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to him first, and then said: "Although Liu Bei is currently occupying Xiapi, Xiaopei and other places, this person is the hero of the world, and what is urgently needed now is territory. His Royal Highness only needs to promise Liu Bei to break Shouchun, hand over Shouchun City to him, and help him send troops to Luzhou, Jiujiang and other places, Liu Bei will definitely send troops! ”

Liu Wei lowered his head and thought for a while, his brows furrowed tightly, and after a long time, he turned his head to look at Jia Xu and said, "I'm afraid that this matter is safe for Wenhe to go!" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured!" Of the people in the hall, only Jia Xu is the best at diplomacy, and he has already had the consciousness that Liu Wei will let him go to find Liu Bei, and at the same time as Liu Wei's words fell, Jia Xu stood up, hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty will persuade Liu Bei to send troops!" ”

While everyone was talking, the guards who went to give orders to Zhang Liao and Tai Shici had already turned back, stood outside the door of the front hall, and said to the hall with their fists clenched: "Your Highness, the two generals have been invited!" ”

Knowing that Zhang Liao and Tai Shici were coming, Liu Wei hurriedly shouted outside the hall: "Please invite the two generals to come in and talk!" ”

Liu Wei ordered the two to enter, and Zhang Liao and Tai Shici, who were wearing armor, unloaded their long swords, handed them to the guards outside the hall, and then stepped into the hall.

"Two generals sit down and talk!" As soon as the two entered the hall and saluted Liu Bian, Liu Bian asked them to sit down first.

Sitting at the end of the hall, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici both looked at Liu Bian, although they didn't speak, they were both waiting for Liu Bian to give them orders.

"The Cao army attacked Shouchun, Lu Bu led the army to help, but was intercepted and killed by the Cao army halfway, our army suffered heavy losses and had no combat power, and Shouchun couldn't support it for much time!" Looking at the two, Liu Wei said to them: "This king invited the two of them to come, so that the two of them can turn the tide and solve this crisis!" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the two of us will fight to the death!" Hearing that Liu Wei wanted them to lead the army, Tai Shici and Zhang Liao both stood up, strode to the middle of the front hall, and bowed with their fists in response.

"Wenyuan, you lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to Xia Cai, after entering Xia Cai, you only need to defend the city, if the Cao army comes, don't go out of the city to pursue!" Looking at Zhang Liao, Liu Wei first gave him an order.

"No!" With a fist in response, Zhang Liao straightened up and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, if Xia Cai is lost, the last general is willing to come to see him with his head!" ”

"Cao's army is powerful, Wen Yuan only needs to defend it, he really can't defend it, and this king won't want your head!" Waving his hand at Zhang Liao, Liu Wei looked at Tai Shici again and said: "Ziyi led 20,000 soldiers and horses to Shouchun, there is no need to reach the outside of Shouchun City, just erect a military flag on the Lingling, so that the soldiers in the city can see the reinforcements!" ”

"Your Highness?" After receiving Liu Wei's order, Tai Shici looked at him with doubts and asked him: "The last general is going forward, why don't you attack Cao Jun from behind?" ”

"Attack Cao Jun?" Liu Wei shook his head and said to Tai Shici: "The Cao army must have laid countless traps in the Shouchun area, if you lead the army to raid from behind, I am afraid that you will just fall into the trick of the Cao army!" ”

Liu argued for a while, and said nothing more about Tai Shici.

Lu Bu led the army to rush to the aid of Shouchun, but was killed by Cao Jun and lost his armor, and the news had already reached the ears of Tai Shici and others.

When they got the news, Tai Shici and other generals of the Qin army still couldn't believe the authenticity of the news.

Including all the generals, the entire Qin army couldn't believe that this battle of Shouchun turned out to be a defeat for the Qin army.

Knowing that Liu Wei had scruples, Tai Shici didn't say anything.

Since Liu Wei asked him to lead the army to Shouchun, he only needed to successfully rescue Lu Bu and the others, and as for fighting with different Cao troops, he had to wait until the battlefield and make a decision temporarily.

"Without further ado, you two will lead the army to set off today!" Looking at Tai Shici and Zhang Liao, Liu Wei didn't give them a chance to delay, waved his hand at them, and gave the order to set off.

The two of them knew that the battle was important, so they hurriedly answered and left the antechamber.

"Your Highness!" As soon as the two of them left the front hall, Xu Shu stood up, clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Earlier today, His Majesty got a letter......

"Oh?" Seeing a touch of strangeness on Xu Shu's face, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked him, "What kind of letter is it?" ”

"About the Huns!" took out a letter from his arms, Xu Shu held it in both hands, and bowed down to hand it to Liu Wei.

After receiving the letter, Liu Wei unfolded the letter, only read it once, and then slapped it heavily on the table, and said angrily: "The hateful Huns, they want to blackmail this king at this time!" ”

Xu Shu had already read the letter, but he didn't dare to speak, while Pang Tong and the others all looked at Liu Wei with a stunned expression.

The Xiongnu are in the north, separated by Yuan Shao's territory, and they have been beaten by Liu Wei's army earlier, and they have no mind to go south, so they dare to write a letter to threaten Liu Wei at this time, which really makes everyone very puzzled.

"King Zuoxian of the Huns goes to humble, please send the king back!" Looking around at the people in the hall, Liu Wei said to them: "The tone in the letter is strong, and he wants to coerce this king that if he doesn't send it back to Juji, he will kill Da Shan Yu, and then send troops south!" ”

"Your Highness! The Huns thought something had happened! After hearing the content of the letter from Liu Bian's mouth, Pang Tong pondered for a while before saying to Liu Bian: "The person who was killed earlier turned on his horse, and now he has such courage, I think there must be someone behind him!" ”

"Who else but Cao Cao!" The corners of his mouth twitched, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, you are also familiar with the Gongsun family in Liaodong, you go immediately, let Gongsun Du send troops to the Huns, and give it a look at it!" ”

"No!" The Gongsun family of Liaodong has long served Liu Wei, Liu Wei has never let them do anything, at this time they want to send troops to the Xiongnu, and the Gongsun family has no reason to refuse, Pang Tong hurriedly responded with his fists.

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao!" arranged for Pang Tong to go to Liaodong, and Liu Wei said as if talking to himself: "This king has given you an embattled song, but you have returned the king with an ambush on all sides!" If he doesn't break through Xudu, how will this king gain a foothold in the world in the future? ”

said these words in his mouth, but Liu Wei was not so relaxed in his heart.

In the first battle of Shouchun, Cao Jun had already made the Qin army taste the bitterness, and it was thought that the Huns dared to speak so hard, but also because they saw Cao Jun break the myth of the invincibility of the Qin army.
