Governor's House, in the hall..fastest update visit: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ.

Liu Xiu and his military generals gathered together.

After the previous war, the crisis in Xiangyang City has come to an end for the time being. In a short period of time, it was impossible for Liu Bei to lead his troops to attack the city, so Liu Xiu also returned to the state pastor from the city.

Huang Hu was sitting precariously, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he reported: "My lord, from the beginning of the war to the present, we have killed 1,500 soldiers, and most of them have been wounded. However, the remaining soldiers in the army can still fight again. ”

Shamoko continued: "Of the five thousand barbarians under his command, more than eight hundred were killed in battle. The rest of the soldiers, too, were wounded. However, the remaining more than 4,000 barbarians can also fight again. ”

Listening to Huang Hu and Shamoke's report, the look in Liu Xiu's eyes was also extremely dignified.

More than 2,000 "elite" sharp people were killed and wounded, which was a considerable loss.

Liu Xiu looked at the Yi nationality and ordered: "Mr. Jibo, whether it is a Han soldier or a barbarian soldier, register them one by one, and then carry out the bereavement. Soldiers fought without fear of death, and their contributions must not be forgotten. At the same time, in this battle, the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions must also be rewarded one by one. ”

Yi Yuan arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the lord will definitely be arranged." ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "In addition to the daily defense on the city tower, you can relax for the time being." In the past two days, I have taken a good look at the 'spirit' and prepared for the follow-up war. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone was relieved when they got the order.

Liu Xiu said again: "The soldiers lost by the Flying Tiger Battalion and the barbarians should be re-selected to replenish the 'elite'. These two armies are the 'elite' troops stationed in Xiangyang and cannot be disabled. ”

"No!"

When Huang Hu and Shamoke heard this, they both nodded and wrote it down.

......

Ten miles outside the city, Liu Bei's military camp.

After the soldiers in the army withdrew, the results of the 'engagement' of this battle were handed in. Guan Yu got the news first, and after reading the inventory, his face was extremely dignified. Just in today's battle, the loss of soldiers is as many as 3,000 people, counting the losses in the past, the soldiers under Liu Bei's command are no more than 10,000 soldiers, and the combat effectiveness has decreased sharply.

In Guan Yu's opinion, Liu Xiu's move was like killing people with a blunt knife, cutting down one by one, cutting off Liu Bei's strength little by little. Especially now that he killed Zhang Fei, he stabbed Liu Bei fiercely.

Such a battle situation made Guan Yu feel a little worried.

Guan Yu came to Liu Bei's side, he looked at the food on Liu Zhi's table, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, you don't eat or drink, are you planning to die with your third brother?"

Liu Bei's face was solemn, and he looked discouraged.

Suddenly, Liu Bei asked, "Second brother, is the eldest brother really useless?"

As soon as Guan Yu heard this, he knew that Zhang Fei's death had dealt a big blow to Liu Bei. But the matter has come to this, and Guan Yu is also helpless, because he is also sad. Guan Yu sat down and comforted: "Big brother, the third brother is dead, but it's not your fault. ”

Liu Bei shook his head and choked up: "The person who debuted with us, Yuan Shao is dead, but at least he has been brilliant, Gongsun Zan is dead, he has also been brilliant, and Lu Bu is dead, and he has also been brilliant." Sun Jian and Sun Ce died, and they were also brilliant. Cao 'Cao' and Sun Quan now each have their own roots, not to mention. ”

"The people who followed Cao's '' have soared. ”

"The people who followed the Sun clan are now also dominating one side in Jiangdong. ”

"Only the second and third brothers followed me, and they have been living a hard life. I've always thought that when Jingzhou is defeated, or if it dominates one side, the second and third brothers can live a good life and enjoy happiness. ”

"Now, the third brother died in front of me first. ”

"The third brother asked me to avenge before he died, but I was not able to avenge him. ”

"I hate it so much, I hate myself for being incompetent. ”

Liu Bei's eyes were full of helplessness and despair, he really felt that he was useless. Why is he Liu Bei conscientious, but still so embarrassed.

God is unfair!

The sky is uneven!

Liu Bei's heart had a strong resentment.

Guan Yu sighed lightly and said, "Big brother, if you want to revive the Han Dynasty, it is a difficult and dangerous road in itself. If you continue to grieve and blame yourself now, can it be useful? The third brother will not come back to life, but Liu Xiu will laugh at the eldest brother and be proud. ”

"Big brother, we are now defeated by Liu Xiu, but it is not that we have no chance. ”

"If Big Brother gives up, will there still be a chance?"

"Big brother, you often say that no matter what you do, you can only wait until you have a chance to succeed. Now that the third brother is dead, although he can't defeat Liu Xiu for the time being, as long as he works hard, he will definitely have a chance. ”

"I believe that the third brother is in the spirit of heaven, and he will be relieved to see the eldest brother cheer up. ”

Guan Yu grabbed Liu Bei's hand and said solemnly: "Big brother, the third brother is gone." But eldest brother, you still have me, I will definitely help eldest brother and avenge the third brother. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded heavily.

He took a deep breath and said, "Second brother, eldest brother, thank you very much." ”

Guan Yu also laughed when he saw that Liu Bei's mentality was gradually improving, and said with relief: "Big brother, I'll let people warm up the meal, you eat first, when you're full, we'll talk about the next war." ”

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the bowl directly, shook his head and said, "No need, it's not bad to eat like this." After Liu Bei's state was adjusted, he ate quickly.

After eating, I listened to Guan Yu's report on the battle situation.

Guan Yu first said it, and then analyzed: "The current situation, our troops are insufficient, and we are stationed outside Xiangyang City, and we may be defeated at any time. I suggest that the eldest brother evacuate to Zhonglu County first. Zhonglu County is an hour's distance from Xiangyang City, and it is convenient to come and go, but when it is pushed to Zhonglu County, we have more room to turn around. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "This is a good choice, after all, Zhonglu County is under our control." ”

"Report!"

Suddenly, the soldier's voice sounded outside the tent.

"Come in!"

Liu Bei gave an order, the curtain of the camp tent was rolled up, and the soldiers walked in quickly.

After the soldier entered, he knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, I just received news from Jiangdong. At present, Zhou Yu has led the army to attack Changsha County, has broken through Ancheng County and Chaling County, and 'pressed' close to the Youxian camp under Liu Xiu. ”

"Good!"

Liu Bei's eyes finally had a smile.

Finally, Jiangdong finally made a breakthrough, once Zhou Yu broke through the Youxian camp, it meant that Liu Xiu's layout in the southwest direction was completely broken.

Next, it will definitely further affect the situation in Jingzhou as a whole.

Guan Yu had a smile in his eyes, and said loudly: "Big brother, this is an opportunity." Now that Jiangdong has made a breakthrough, we will not retreat to Zhonglu County for the time being, and we will not withdraw. Moreover, we can withdraw the troops from Zhonglu County and gather them all together. Then the news of Zhou Yu's attack on Changsha County was widely publicized, affecting the situation in Xiangyang and even Nanjun. ”

Liu Bei nodded again and again, and said, "The second brother is reasonable, so he will do it." ”

Immediately, Liu Bei gave an order and began to spread the news.

For a time, the news of the breakdown of Changsha County spread in the army. The sluggish morale, after the soldiers heard the news, the morale began to reverse again, and it rose sharply.

For a time, the decline in the barracks changed, and the soldiers were full of anticipation.

This news also quickly spread into the city, spreading in Xiangyang City and even all parts of Nanjun.

The state pastor's house, after Liu Xiu got the news, there was no reaction.

It's just that Ancheng County and Chaling County were broken, but Liu Bei made it look like the entire Jingzhou was about to fall, obviously exaggerating the facts, and Liu Xiu could afford this loss.

When the officials of Yi, Kuailiang and the government learned the news, they did not react.

In the study, Liu Correction was checking the information handed over by Jin Yiwei.

This involved the fact that some grain merchants raised grain prices and made a lot of war money during the war. At the same time, there are also some officials who take advantage of the opportunity to make money.

All the news was compiled by Jinyiwei.

After Liu Xiu made a batch of notes, he immediately arranged for Deng Zhan to let Jinyiwei carry out the order, the punishment that should be punished, the killing of those who should be killed, if you want to make war money, you must be ready to be killed.

"Knock! knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and it sounded outside the room.

Deng Zhan's voice came: "Lord, there is an urgent matter for the military division." ”

"Come in!"

Liu Xiu's eyes showed a look of expectation.

Deng Zhan entered the study, took out a letter, handed it to Liu Xiu's hand, and then said quickly: "According to Jinyiwei's spies, when the military advisor sent this letter, he and Zhang Ren had already arrived in Fangling County, which was only one step away from Nanyang County. It is estimated that the military division has now entered Nanyang County. ”

Liu Xiu nodded, opened the envelope and browsed.

After reading it, Liu Xiu's face showed an excited expression, and suddenly he laughed loudly and said loudly: "The plan has succeeded, and now, Zhang Ren has led the army into Nanyang County." Liu Xiu's lair is about to be broken. ”

Deng Zhan arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to the lord!"

Liu Xiu said: "Liu Bei thought that there was a little situation in Changsha County, and we had a headache, but he didn't know that his own rear was almost finished. Now, let's wait a little longer, once the news of Nanyang County's victory comes back, this battle can start to end. ”
