Chapter 159: Discerning Eyes and Vision

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing 3,000 enemy troops and gaining 3,000 prestige points!"

Huaxiong took the lead and took the lead in entering Shouzhang City.

What caught his eye was Cheng Yu, who was covered in blood.

He was pale, but in good spirits.

Hua Xiong turned over and dismounted.

Cheng Yu originally wanted to step forward to salute, but just took two steps,

With no strength in his body, he almost collapsed on the ground.

Hua Xiong hurriedly helped him up.

"Lord, fortunately not dishonoring ......"

A smile appeared on Cheng Yu's face.

Hua Xiong's eyes scanned the surroundings.

The soldiers who followed Cheng Yu were all covered in blood without exception.

Although their expressions were exhausted, their eyes were surprisingly bright.

Look at the base of the city wall, and there are corpses all over the ground.

There are both Shouzhang guards and Lu Bu.

When the battle was at its fiercest, the soldiers of Shouzhang Castle even took the initiative to jump from the city wall with the enemy in their arms.

Until they died, they maintained the posture of holding the enemy army.

Gao Shun, Pang De and others also walked in from outside the city.

Seeing such a situation, they couldn't help but tear up.

Hua Xiong took a deep breath and swept his gaze over the Shou Zhangcheng guards present,

"Ladies and gentlemen, the price you paid for guarding Shouzhang City,

I Huaxiong will not forget!

It is precisely because of you that Shouzhang City can be defended.

The people of the world, it is with you that they can live and work in peace and contentment!

I, Huaxiong, thank you here! ”

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee.

"Lord, this is unacceptable!"

Cheng Yu panicked and hurriedly came to support Huaxiong.

Hua Xiong pushed him away, and said with a serious face,

"You deserve this from me!"

When his words landed, Gao Shun, Pang De and tens of thousands of troops behind him all knelt down!

Cheng Yu and his subordinates were a little overwhelmed at first, and followed the hot flow out of their eyes.

They are desperately working to guard Shouzhang City, isn't it for this moment?

After an impassioned speech, Hua Xiong immediately called for people to heal the wounded soldiers and distribute food to them.

Then he took Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, Pang De and others to the council hall in the city.

Cheng Yu told all the battles of the past few days in front of them.

After listening, Gao Shun, Pang De, Zhou Cang, Jiang Wei and others all paid respect.

When Cheng Yu took refuge in Huaxiong before, everyone didn't take him seriously.

After all, he is just a small county magistrate in Yanzhou.

Everyone even felt that Hua Xiong's promotion of Cheng Yu to the position of Yanzhou Assassin was a little too hasty.

But today, Cheng Yu was able to hold on to the city for so long under Lu Bu's elite army.

How can this not make them admire?

You must know that once Shouzhangcheng is lost, the entire hinterland of Yanzhou will face Lu Bu's iron cavalry.

Then the trouble will be big!

So this time, Cheng Yu can be said to have made a great contribution.

The incomprehension of Huaxiong's trust in Cheng Yu before has also become a sudden realization at this moment.

What is discernment, what is foresight!

This is my lord!

Hua Xiong's appointment is indeed there

Hua Xiong groaned slightly, and said softly,

"If it weren't for Cheng Yu, I'm afraid that the loss of the imperial court this time would be great.

Cheng Yu listens to orders! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"You have made meritorious contributions to protecting the city, and now you are named a peaceful country!"

Cheng Yu's face couldn't help but show joy.

What is he trying to do with all his life?

Isn't it fame and fortune?

"Thank you, lord!"

Cheng Yu hurriedly responded.

Hua Xiong gave Cheng Yu some other rewards.

After hearing this, the other generals were all envious.

Hua Xiong smiled,

"You don't have to put envy on your face, as long as you can make meritorious contributions, I, Huaxiong, will never be stingy!"

"Yes, my lord!"

All the soldiers responded in unison.

I have made up my mind that I must fight bravely to kill the enemy!

After the meritorious service and reward were finished, the people began to talk about military affairs.

After Gao Shun led the army back to Beihai County, he heard that there was a change in Yanzhou, so he rushed over non-stop.

It's just that the Yellow Turban Army of Beihai County has just descended, and the army's morale is unstable, and its strength is not good.

According to Hua Xiong's orders, Tai Shici and Liao Hua trained soldiers on the spot on the one hand, and defended Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north on the other.

Gao Shun and Jiang Wei, with seven thousand wolf troops, rushed over.

And Pang De rushed over with an army from Changyi, the seat of Yanzhou, with 10,000 soldiers.

In addition, there are 20,000 elites selected from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

Their leader is none other than Zhang Rao.

And there are not many soldiers left in Shouzhang City.

"Now we have a total of 40,000 elites in our hands.

There were also almost 40,000 people on Lu Bu's side, and the strength of the two sides was comparable. ”

Hua Xiong said in a deep voice,

"What do you think we should do?"

Gao Shun thought for a while, and then said,

"The safest thing now is to defend the city."

"I think so too."

Pound bowed slightly.

Although the number of people on both sides is about the same, the strength is not the same.

Lu Bu's side can be regarded as elite, and most of them are cavalry.

There are only 10,000 wolf troops on Huaxiong's side, and under Pang De, the soldiers who originally belonged to Ma Chao are elite.

The 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers surrendered, not to mention the strength,

Zhang Rao's character alone can't help but make people sweat.

Not to mention that they are mainly infantry.

While they were deliberating, a herald suddenly came running.

"Report to the lord, Lu Bu ordered someone to send a letter."

Hua Xiong was stunned, took the letter and read it, and immediately laughed.

"This Lu Bu is quite interesting."

He handed the letter to the others.

Everyone took turns to look at it, and their faces were a little strange.

In his letter, Lu Bu actually said that he wanted to have a conference battle with Hua Xiong.

In this way, the ownership of Yanzhou is determined.

"Such a clown, just ignore him."

Pound snorted lightly, not taking Hua Xiong seriously.

"Well, I think that's pretty good."

Hua Xiong touched his chin and said.

"If there is a stalemate, it will be extremely bad for us."

Everyone was stunned.

Hua Xiong took out another letter.

"This is a letter from Luoyang City."

On the march, Hua Xiong received another letter from the city of Luoyang.

Zhang Xiu of Nanyang was ready to move, and repeatedly led his troops across the border to clash with Huaxiong's troops.

Fortunately, Hua Xiong left enough troops in Luoyang City.

In addition, there are Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia's three major military towns,

There are also three major generals, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Yu Ban,

That's not a loss.

It's just that the people in Luoyang City are unstable.

Yang Zan and others, who were originally content with calm, have also begun to make small moves recently.

If Lu Bu has been refusing to disperse, then Yanzhou will not be at peace for a day.

We must fight quickly, return to Luoyang City, and deter those Xiaoxiao!

Thinking of this, Hua Xiong's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice,

"Reply to Lu Bu, the morning after tomorrow, fifty miles outside Shouzhang City, fight to the death!"

"Yes!"

All the generals should come down in unison.

After the meeting was dismissed, Hua Xiong returned to his residence.

He called out the system in his heart.

After today's fight, he already has 53,000 prestige points.

"Help me with the five-shot super draw!"
