"Huang Zhong! You've disappointed me so much! Liu Pan said bitterly.

The loss of Rongling is not unacceptable, after all, it is not an important town in Changsha, but it is ...... What the hell is this record?

Originally, Liu Pan hoped that Huang Zhong would be able to hold on to Rongling for a while, and even grind away the enemy's edge, but what is this now?

Defending the city and attacking the city fought a "one-to-one"?

After all, Huang Zhong is also an honest man, and he didn't do anything special to beautify the battle report, but just seriously analyzed the reasons for the defeat.

However, Liu Pan's attention was obviously not on the "cloud ladder" mentioned by Huang Zhong, as well as the opponent's bow and crossbow armor.

But my heart is filled with this "one-to-one"!

"Taishou, it's not General Huang's fault, it's the army of the General's Mansion that is indeed ......" Wei Yan heard this, and immediately had to explain for Huang Zhong.

Liu Pan directly interrupted: "You didn't transport grain well before, and I haven't punished you yet!" Not General Huang's fault? Is that what you're dragging your feet in? ”

"I ......" Wei Yan was annoyed.

"What are you? Dare to argue with Shangguan...... Come on, fork out and beat him with fifty sticks! Liu Pan said angrily.

Huang Zhong knew that Liu Pan was not pleasing to his eyes at this time, so in order to avoid self-defeating, after his lips moved, he did not open his mouth to intercede.

"Humph!" Wei Yan seemed to be generous and righteous, and when he was pulled out by Liu Pan's personal guards, he deliberately stiffened his neck.

Seeing this, Liu Pan was even more angry, and Huang Zhong interjected at the right time: "Taishou, this time I failed to defeat the enemy's sharpness in Rongling, and the crime lies in the last general, but the military appearance and armament of the General's Mansion are indeed not to be underestimated, and what is even more difficult is that its army has changed from an engineering battalion specializing in manufacturing ordnance to a wounded battalion responsible for treatment...... All kinds of logistical troops, so that the enemy army is structured as a whole......"

Han Xuan interjected with a strange expression at this time: "In other words...... The enemy army has a lot of miscellaneous soldiers? ”

Huang Zhong: ......

"Not a miscellaneous soldier! Although they did not go directly to the battlefield, they played an important role in the battle. Huang Zhong was also very helpless, what kind of understanding ability did these people have.

Huang Zhong has already vaguely realized that the military system of the General's Mansion is changing, and this change is even triggering a change in the mode of war!

However, Liu Biao's subordinates have always emphasized literature over military force, and even the soldiers are mostly literati, so Liu Pan naturally must follow suit.

If it was Lu Zhi during the Second Emperor Huan Ling, this kind of big man who was both a great Confucian and a famous general would be fine, even if it was Cai Mao, who was at least familiar with the art of war, but ...... There are even many laymen in Jingzhou who command insiders.

Among the generals, only Wen Ping can barely be regarded as being reused, but he is generally only in the last seat, inferior to Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, and even inferior to Han Song and other celebrities.

As for Huang Zhong, Liu Biao is afraid that he has forgotten who this person is, and what gains and losses Jingnan has are all Liu Pan's merits and demerits.

Also under Liu Pan's command, the most valued are Han Xuan, Jin Xuan, and Zhao Fan, who have not read much of the art of war, and are longer than the civil servants who govern a place or weigh local forces.

Huang Zhong was looked down upon because he was "particularly capable of fighting", and it was not easy to accompany Liu Pan to take the last seat!

However, listening to Huang Zhong's analysis, Liu Pan and the others just thought that the old man couldn't save face and was making excuses......

I saw Liu Pan wave his hand and interrupted: "The soldiers of the General's Mansion are well-equipped, well-trained, and brave in battle, I know it." ”

When Huang Zhong heard this, after moving the corners of his mouth, he only responded helplessly in his heart, knowing that Liu Pan didn't listen to it.

However, for the only one of his subordinates who could fight, Liu Pan did not treat himself too harshly because of this defeat, anyway, his anger had already been sprinkled on Wei Yan, on the other hand, ...... It is also good news for Liu Pan.

"Does Han Sheng feel that he is powerless against the strong forces of the General's Mansion?" Liu Pan asked in a calm tone and with some joy.

When Huang Zhong heard this, he wanted to refute it, if he really delegated power to him and provided him with such a big investment in the General's Mansion, let him make his own decisions from conscription, training to conquest and confrontation, he might not be afraid of the General's Mansion!

just looked at Liu Pan's appearance, not like criticism, but like he was full of interest, so he continued to listen patiently.

"Hansheng doesn't have to worry, as long as we can drag the General's Mansion in Jingnan, and when the situation changes in the coming year, Jingzhou will be as stable as Mount Tai...... There will be retribution for these rebellious ministers and thieves in the future! Liu Pan said with some pleasure.

Liu Pan obviously knew something, but he didn't seem to have the intention of sharing the news with Huang Zhong, and simply informed him of the results.

It's not that Liu Pan can't trust him, but even Liu Pan has no room to intervene in this matter, but he just learned the news.

Naturally, there will be no more extraneous branches, just to boost morale, I mentioned a word to several core staff members in Jingnan, as well as Huang Zhong, the main force who wants to lead the troops, and at the same time told them to keep it secret.

However, Huang Zhong still analyzed some situations by himself, what "will have a turnaround next year", and what "retribution will be retribution for rebellious ministers and thieves......

It sounds mysterious, obviously not like what Jingzhou Mansion itself is going to do, but more like something has changed outside!

So Huang Zhong deliberately inquired about the recent news from other places after leaving the Taishou Mansion......

After all, Huang Zhong is just an ordinary general, and there will be no special person to inform him of news that has nothing to do with him, so naturally his intelligence sources are only "inquiring" about other news.

After inquiring like this, Huang Zhong really heard about two major events, one of which was that Liu Qi's son defeated the general's navy army several times in Jiangxia......

If this news is released to the world, it is not a big deal.

Liu Qi only won a few small victories in Jiangxia, pressing Sun Ce and Zhou Yu back to the south of Jiangxia, not to mention that the Jiangxia battlefield was only one-third of the Jingyang battle......

It's just because this is a vital matter for Jingzhou Mansion, plus ...... Liu Biao seems to have some other ideas, so he focuses on publicity, and even the people of Changsha are already well known for Liu Qi's courage and good fighting.

Huang Zhong's first reaction to this was surprise, and at the same time, he finally understood why Liu Pan was so dissatisfied with his record before-he had to throw away the goods!

For Liu Qi, Huang Zhong has only met a few times and has never even spoken, but for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Huang Zhong has faced each other head-on.

Before, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, when the garrison was training in Chaisang, Liu Pan, who occupied Jingnan, was in charge of attacking several times.

However, at that time, Huang Zhong had just sent his son to Jinling, and he took the initiative to attack, and Liu Pan personally supervised the army, so Huang Zhong just didn't work, and finally Liu Pan was defeated a few times and returned disappointed.

Based on Huang Zhong's understanding of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, as well as what he felt before, the quality of the general's army...... Is this Liu Qi really a blockbuster, or is there fraud in it?

However, no matter which possibility it was, Huang Zhong couldn't say anything, and what Liu Pan said had nothing to do with this matter.

Unless Liu Pan and Liu Biao have a big brain, thinking that Liu Qi can win again and again, Pingjiangxia in March, Jingnan in half a year, and push the General's Mansion a year later......

In contrast, the second news is the real "world shake" - Cao Cao, who defeated Yuan's army in Yanjin, and even almost made Yuan Shao stay south of the Yellow River!
