Chapter 146: A Big Joke

The ruined city looked so small in the flames, and the roaring sound resounded in the sky. Scarlet fire bombs were like meteors in the sky, streaking across the sky above Wancheng.

The smoke is long, the sky is full of blood, and it is as dead as the end of the world.

Cai Tong, who was in a coma, was carried on his shoulders by the soldiers of the Chu army, looking unconscious. By the time he woke up, the Wancheng that Cai Tong had dreamed of for many years had already disappeared in the smoke.

Lying on the water, his mouth swallowing the turquoise water of the lake like a goose, his face covered with soot was full of numbness.

When he finally calmed down the suppressed anxiety in his body, his whole body tensed, and Cai Tong raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar.

"Huan Wu!"

It only took nine days for the Liang army to recapture Wancheng from Cai Tong's hands, making him a big joke.

After venting, Cai Tong's body soothed and became calm again.

Cai Tong originally thought that with the combat power of the Chu army, it would be enough to defend Wancheng even if it was defeated by the Liang army in the field battle. But what Cai Tong didn't expect was that Huan's martial arts skills were superior.

The inside should be combined with the outside, and the long drive for a hundred miles, only nine days, this strong city in the world fell into the hands of Huan Wu again.

Thinking of this, Cai Tong felt boundless hatred in his heart.

In this hatred, there are both those for Huan Wu and Yang Xian. In a sense, it is the combination of these two that makes Cai Tong a big joke that makes him laugh at the heroes of the world.

Yang Xian may have seen the depth of it a long time ago, so he will let these more than ten counties out. What's ridiculous is that he Cai Tong won those more than ten counties at the beginning, and he was still complacent.

"The order is that our troops deployed around Wancheng will shrink on all fronts and retreat to Qingyang."

"But Master Hou, the Liang army has conquered Wancheng, if our army retreats, and the Liang army pursues and kills behind, I'm afraid it will be crushed for thousands of miles!"

"Don't worry, now that Huan Wu has taken Wancheng, in his eyes, I'm afraid he has already looked at Yuxian."

Cai Tong smiled, although he was embarrassed, but it did not discourage him. His defeated army retreated to Qingyang County, and he could sit alone in a high-rise building, laughing at the old thief of Huanwu and Yang Xian Xiao'er fighting and losing both.

After getting Qingyang County, the Chu army could not say that it had no gains in this battle. You must know that Qingyang County is also a large county with a population of more than 100,000.

Thinking of this, Cai Tong no longer hesitated. He glanced back at the city that was hidden in the dust and mist of war, and gritted his teeth.

"Let's go!"

At night, in the middle of Wancheng, Huan Zhong's Zhengnan General's Mansion.

Wancheng was lost and recovered, and Huan Wu was not much happy. Looking at this house that was looted by Yang Xian without a little oil and water, and looking at the carving that was scraped without a trace of color, for Yang Xian, he suddenly felt a sense of pity in his heart.

Huan Zhong knelt in the lobby, knelt behind Huan Wu, and knocked on the ground with his head. On both sides were a group of Liang army generals, including Huan Qi and Huan Heng.

"The minister is incompetent, and he has a negative lord, please give the lord a mouth."

In a short period of time, Huan Zhong is now much older. Kneeling on the ground, he didn't have the original look, and the generals of the Liang army almost didn't recognize him.

Huan Zhong, as a general of the expedition to the south, has an army of 130,000, but there is such a big mess. Now there are only 30,000 or 40,000 left of the 130,000 Liang army. And Wancheng has changed hands several times, and this world-famous fortified city is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

The generals were silent, stood in place, looked at Huan Zhong, and did not say a word.

"Generals, who is the culprit for the loss of Nanyang?"

Huan Zhong is Huan Wu's brother, but Huan Wu can't openly shelter him. A very important reason why the Liang army was able to lay down such a large territory today was that Huan Wu had clear rewards and punishments.

But with such a big pot, someone has to carry it.

"Lord Yu, the loss of Nanyang, the crime lies with Jin Xin alone."

At this time, Zhao Ye, Huanwu's strategist, walked out of the crowd and gave up.

"Why?"

"Although General Huan Zhong has a small fault, there is nothing wrong with it. If it weren't for Jin Xin's house, who had the grace of the lord and surrendered to the Shu army, how could Yang Xian take more than a dozen counties in Wancheng, Wancheng and even Nanyang? How could the officers and men of our army fall to such a point? How could the lord be captured and plundered by Yang Xian after years of accumulation? The lord has a heavenly and generous kindness to Jin Xin, but that Jin Xin is a snake and scorpion, which is really despicable. ”

"What do you think?"

"The last general thinks what Lord Zhao said is reasonable."

All the beams walked out of the queue and echoed.

"In this way, he was deprived of the post of general of Huan Zhong Zhengnan, demoted to a concubine, and showed the three armies as a punishment."

"Thank you, lord, for your kindness."

Huan Zhong's head slammed to the ground, tears in his eyes. He understood that although it was because of Jin Xin's rebellion, Nanyang would fall to such an extent. But Huan Zhong, as the supreme commander of the Liang Army in the Nanyang region, can't escape this responsibility.

Huan Wu left his life, and he also remembered the brotherhood for many years.

"Lord, although Cai Tong has been defeated, Yang Xian is still in Sui County. If he is allowed to return to Yizhou so safely, then our army will become the laughing stock of the world, and how can we and other soldiers have face? ”

Huan Youji walked out and said indignantly, followed by a large number of echoes.

Everyone can see that in the Battle of Nanyang this time, who got the biggest bargain? Yang Xian was in Wanxian County at this time, more than 100 miles away from Wancheng.

If the army is in a hurry, it will be there in one day. For a time, many Liang generals asked for battle.

Huan Wu smiled, stretched out his hands and pressed it, pressing the generals' emotions, and then pointed in the crowd.

"Let's go!"

The hall was empty, and in this huge hall, there were only three people left, including Huan Wu, Meng Qing, and Huan Qi for a while.

Looking at Huan Qi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Huan Wu chuckled and said, "Qi'er, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Yes! Now Yang Xian has sent the grain and grass and the families of the Black Fly Army to Dankou, and the Shu army has also begun to deploy defenses in the mountains. Yang Xian obviously had no intention of sticking to the county, but only wanted to defend the dangerous points, stop our army's offensive, and gain time. Why did my father let the generals go on this empty trip? ”

Huan Wu had a smile on his face and said, "Qi'er, I'm very relieved that you can see this layer. So there's one thing next, I want you and Jong Seok to do it. ”

"Please ask my father to instruct all the people who were scattered because of the war in the vicinity of Wancheng to Sui County. I want to see if Yang Xian will take in these people for the sake of his reputation? ”

Meng Qing was shocked in his heart, Huan Wu's move was really poisonous! If Yang Xian leaves, then his long-maintained reputation for benevolence and righteousness will be gone. But if those people are taken in, Yang Xian will not be able to get out in a short period of time, and he will be stared at by Liang Jun in Yuxian County.

Such a dirty thing, but let his son do it. It seems that as rumors say, Huan Wu has never been very fond of this son!
