Chapter 602: The Battle of Nanyang

"!" Wang Fei scolded on the spot, and said dissatisfiedly: "Where did the kid come from, I don't know how thick the sky is, Xun Yu is Cao Cao's minister of the humerus, before the battle of Nanyang, it was he who made us suffer heavy losses in Jingzhou, a child who came from nowhere, dare to say such wild words?" ”

Of course he was not happy, because Xun Yu's battle in Nanyang made Jingzhou a big heel, which is already known to the world, and everyone in Jingzhou is even more avoided. Now I haven't been able to swallow this breath, but someone said it in public, and the subtext is somewhat despised by the military generals of Jingzhou Wenchen.

Wang Xu was also a little funny, but he still said with relief: "Eh! The second brother doesn't need to be angry, that person is young and vigorous, and it is understandable to say some nonsense, so there is no need to be angry with him. ”

"Brother! In fact, although the man is a little crazy, it is not exactly boasting. Wang Xiong saw that both of them didn't care about this matter, and couldn't help but interject again: "He still has some ability." ”

"What kind of ability can this kind of person who can boast loudly in a restaurant." Wang Fei rolled his eyes, his face full of disdain.

At that time, I also thought that was the case, I was going to beat him up after eating, but then he actually said the reason why the Qiang and clan invaded Yizhou, and how to deal with it, and his analysis was almost the same as that of the General's Mansion. But the general's government's analysis and decision-making on this matter, even when I was on duty to protect my sister-in-law, I happened to hear it, how could outsiders know? Wang Xiong said.

"Oh? Is this true? Wang Xu was stunned, outsiders were able to rely on clues to launch the decision of the General's Mansion out of thin air, which is absolutely unusual.

"Of course it was, I was very surprised. Thought it had been leaked. First, he ordered people to keep an eye on him. Then hurriedly returned to the general's mansion to see his sister-in-law. Wang Xiong swallowed his saliva, and then gestured and said: "How do you know that my sister-in-law questioned me instead, suspecting that I leaked the secret, because that matter was only known to the three of Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and me, and Tian Feng had already gone to the northwest at that time, and the time should have temporarily stabilized the situation, and it was impossible for others to know." ”

"So, that guy really came up with it himself?" Wang Feihu asked suspiciously.

"It should be." Wang Xiong nodded: "At that time, my sister-in-law was going to go with me to have a look." But who knew that Fa Zheng suddenly had an urgent report, and Tian Feng may have already had some good news, so his sister-in-law didn't pay much attention to it, so she just put it aside. ”

"I see!" Wang Xu is interested in talent at the moment, and he has always cared about talents. "Then you checked this person later."

"That's not true, because my sister-in-law said that it doesn't matter if it's leaked or not, and I didn't investigate deeply, but I just knew what this person's name was...... Hey? What's it called......"

Wang Xiong seemed to be suddenly stuck, facing the questioning gazes of Wang Xu and Wang Fei. I was so anxious that I scratched my head.

It was a long time, when both of them were about to lose interest. He suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! By the way, I heard his friend call him Pang Shiyuan! ”

"Pang Shi......" Wang Xu muttered this name, and his eyes widened suddenly: "What do you say his name is?" ”

"Pang Shiyuan!" Wang Xiong is very sure.

"Huh...... Yikes! Wang Xu suddenly slapped his forehead and said to himself: "How did I forget him." ”

"Huh? How? Brother knows him? Wang Xiongqi said.

Wang Xu nodded quietly: "I heard it in my early years, this person's name is Pang Tong, the word Shiyuan, is the son of Pang Degong, the head of the Pang family, although his appearance is not good, but he is quite praised by Sima Shuijing and Pang Degong. ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't explain more to the two, but he was looking forward to this legendary "phoenix" more in his heart.

History praised him, but unfortunately after meeting the master, he died young before he could fully show his talents and characteristics.

As a figure as famous as Zhuge Liang, Wang Xu really hopes for him, but he really doesn't know what kind of Cheng DΓΉ he can do.

It's just that at this moment, he didn't want to talk about it more, so he diverted the topic at the right time.

"By the way, Wang Xiong, what is the clan invasion you said just now, I haven't heard you tell me about it along the way! Also, what was the situation of the previous battle of Nanyang? I always feel like you've been a little evasive these days? While I'm camping tonight, I'll finally have some time, so I'll be able to tell you about it first, and when I return to the General's Mansion, I'll be able to get ready. ”

"This ......" Wang Xiong hesitated, looking at Wang Fei and Xu Sheng as if his eyes were pleading. This one...... Pretty good! …… Only...... It is...... That ......"

It's a pity that Xu Sheng and Wang Fei also seemed to be in a difficult situation, turned their heads unnaturally, and did not take the initiative to help them out of the siege.

Such an atmosphere made Wang Xu feel very wrong, his brows gradually furrowed, and a sense of anxiety rose in his heart, seeing that he couldn't say anything for a long time, his eyes swept over the three of them at the moment, and asked in a deep voice: "Wang Xiong, you have been talking for a long time, which means that you haven't said anything, so you are sloppy, I'm afraid the situation is very bad, but no matter what happens, whether the situation is good or bad, I will know sooner or later, is there anything bad to say?" ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Xu Sheng, and said in an accentuated tone: "Wen Xiang, you say!" ”

"This ...... Lord! The last general ......" Xu Sheng's face collapsed instantly.

"Wen Xiang, I believe you won't hide it from me!" Wang Xu's tone turned cold, and he asked lightly.

"This ......" In the face of such persecution, Xu Sheng's face changed.

After a while, after all, he still couldn't meet his gaze, sighed helplessly, and replied bitterly: "Lord! In fact, the Qiang clan and clan changes were provoked by Cao Cao, intending to induce them to invade Yizhou, but this matter is not critical, Tian Beijia has personally gone to the northwest, trying his best to stabilize the other party, plus General Huang Zhong led the troops to defend, there should be no major problem for the time being, the current way to deal with it is to wait for Guo Junshi to pacify the Nanban, and then focus on solving this matter. ”

"Hmm!" Wang Xu was noncommittal, and asked instead: "Since this is the case, then why do you need to speak with infarction, but what are the faults in the battle of Nanyang?" Looks like you're avoiding that fight! ”

"Lord!" Xu Sheng's lips trembled, and he suddenly turned his head sideways with a guilty face, not daring to look at him. "I waited like this, but because of the battle of Nanyang, although the battle was won, but the losses were heavy. At present, all the merits and demerits related to that battle have been suppressed by the master mother. Wait for the lord to come back and deal with the aftermath. ”

With the voice. Wang Xu's heart sank suddenly. His gaze swept over the three of them, and he had an extremely bad feeling.

The battle of Nanyang not only made the three of them so evasive, but Xu Sheng described it as miserable, plus Xu Shu also suppressed the merits, and had to wait for himself to come back to deal with the aftermath.

But no matter what, it had already happened, and he was powerless to change it. Now we can only understand the specifics first, and then focus on the aftermath.

At that moment, he took a deep breath, calmed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked heavily: "How miserable is it?" ”

"Dead ...... The casualties and attrition amounted to almost ten ......" Xu Sheng avoided Wang Xu's gaze and said two words dejectedly: "100,000!" ”

"Shhh Wang Xu gasped and was completely stunned.

Even if he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't control himself, just because it was too terrible.

When I was still in Hebei, I heard that there was a battle with Cao Cao, and I guessed that it would be very difficult. But I never thought it would be like this.

What is the concept of a loss of 100,000 dead and wounded?

This is not to be scattered 100,000 people. It's not that 100,000 people were captured, but that 100,000 people alive can never take up arms again, whether dead or disabled, this 100,000 represents too much, too heavy!

If the memory is correct, after the pacification of Yizhou, all the main forces in Jingzhou, plus all the main forces of Yizhou obtained by recruiting and persuading the captives, are less than 400,000, and this has to be added to the naval armies of Song Qian and Jia Hua.

However, the number of casualties in the battle of Nanyang alone reached 100,000, which is not only tragic but can be described, it is simply a disaster.

Fortunately, the final result was victory, otherwise, if a larger number of soldiers escaped, or were captured by the enemy, then Jingzhou would not be completely crippled, just like Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu in history, and it is likely that the foundation will be shaken under the strong pressure of all parties and quickly defeated.

Even if it is a victory and repelling the enemy army, but this is such a huge burden and a terrible blow to the general's mansion today, no wonder even Xu Shu does not dare to take care of the aftermath, because the implication is too wide and the responsibility is too great.

"Bang!"

Wang Xu, who came back to his senses, slammed his fist on the small wooden table in front of him, directly splitting it in half, and the sawdust was splashed everywhere.

"What kind of battle is this? What about Guo Jia? What about Xu Shu? And all the generals who participated in the war, did they all let the soldiers stretch out their necks and cut them down? ”

"100,000 dead and wounded? Hum! What is the concept of 100,000 dead and wounded? Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there has never been a battle, and the number of casualties alone has reached 100,000. Is this a feat to pioneer through the ages? ”

"What a great historical battle, the duel in a county, even the casualties and attrition were as high as 100,000, it was really great, it was amazing, it was going to be famous for eternity!"

The roar of rage shook people's ears, Xu Sheng, Wang Fei, and Wang Xiong were all full of shame, obviously they were also involved in that battle, and they all cried and mourned at this moment, silently bearing his anger.

After scolding, the depression in Wang Xu's chest was alleviated, and he understood that no matter how much he reprimanded, it was meaningless, so he took a deep breath at the moment and calmed himself down.

was about to open his mouth to ask the details of the three people, but suddenly trembled.

Wrong! Wrong! If the number of dead and wounded is reduced to 100,000, it is absolutely impossible that only soldiers, generals, and even high-ranking generals will inevitably fall!

This is the law of war, throughout the ages, in any war, as long as the number of casualties and attrition reaches a certain level, there will be a fall of generals.

Even in the period of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the generals' personal abilities were exceptionally outstanding, and they could not get rid of this law.

But as long as the scale exceeds a certain number of dΓΉ and the casualties reach a certain proportion, there will definitely be generals who fall, without exception.

In the battle of Nanyang, Jingzhou alone lost 100,000 casualties, which can be called the largest battle since the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, and I am afraid it is enough to be compared with Guandu, Chibi, etc. in history, so ......

Realizing these things in his heart, Wang Xu trembled, and suddenly a strong fear rose.

Suddenly raised his head, stared straight at Xu Sheng and the others, with a little extravagant hope, and asked in a trembling voice: "Sue me, no old brother died in this battle!" Tell me that no! ”

"This ......"

Wang Fei, Xu Sheng, and Wang Xiong looked at each other, unable to say anything, and their faces were full of bitterness!
