Chapter 262 Xindu (3rd Update)
"Harmony Avenue, I haven't heard of it!" Luo Shen frowned slightly: "Three thousand avenues, there are the avenue of fate, the avenue of cause and effect, the avenue of reincarnation, the avenue of time and space, the avenue of the five elements, the avenue of yin and yang, the avenue of light, and the avenue of darkness...... But I haven't heard of Harmony Avenue! ”
Liu Xiudao: "I said that there is a harmonious avenue, so I have a harmonious avenue." There wasn't one in the world, but because I said it, there were! ”
Luo Shen said: "It's domineering, a bit like him...... It's a pity that you're not him yet! ”
As she spoke, Luo Shen thought of the great man, like a god and a demon, half saint and half immortal, like a dream, it seemed to be close at hand, but she had never understood him. To this day, the memories are still shallow dreams, or endless illusions.
The person in front of him has a shadow of that person.
It's just a little shadow, and it's not much worse than the real him.
As he spoke, Roselle disappeared without a trace.
Came suddenly, disappeared suddenly.
…………
Liu Xiu left here and returned to the battlefield, and the battle was over.
Looking at the traces of the battlefield, the army under his command suffered heavy losses, saved part of the main force, and withdrew.
In this battle, judging from the losses, the losses were huge.
But Wang Lang's army did not win completely, and the losses were not small.
Otherwise, Liu Xiu's army would not be easily evacuated.
Following the traces, Liu Xiu tracked down, and about an hour later, he encountered the retreating army, and as a result, there were only 5,000 troops left, 3,000 elites, and 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers. As for the other elite soldiers, they were either killed in battle or routed.
"Meet the General!"
"Meet the General!"
Seeing everyone again, the momentum was a little sluggish.
Liu Xiu stepped forward to persuade and inspired.
Deng Yu stepped forward and said: "Lord, the army's heart is unstable, you should look for a county and stabilize the foundation!" ”
Liu Xiu said: "The time I came to Hebei is too short, and I am not familiar with the place, so it is difficult to do!" ”
For Hebei people, he is a guest army, a foreigner, and vaguely xenophobic.
"Xindu is too guarded by Ren Guang, and Li Zhong, the commander of the capital, once followed the lord to fight in Kunyang and defeated the enemy army!" Deng Yu said: "These two people can be relied on!" Can be based in Xindu! ”
Liu Xiu sighed and said: "People go to tea and cool, and I don't know if the two of them are reliable?" ”
seemed to see Liu Xiu's loss and melancholy, Deng Yu said: "Do you know the lord, what is your biggest capital in Hebei?" ”
Liu Xiu said lightly: "I'm just an ugly person, what capital is there!" ”
Deng Yu said: "Don't be discouraged, Hebei is the land of Yan Zhao, Yan Zhao is a generous and tragic person, and there are many heroes and heroes." They believe in heroes, respect heroes, and are willing to fight with heroes and die for heroes! The battle of the lord Kunyang, which defeated the army of 200,000 imperial courts, can be described as the battle of Dingding! If there is no victory in this battle, how can there be more Emperor Shi to occupy Guanzhong......"
Saying that, Deng Yu looked at Liu Xiu with an inexplicable expression: "The lord has great luck." Over the past dynasties, the first to claim the title of king has been attacked by the imperial court and the first to be destroyed, which is the so-called pioneer of the king. Originally, with the qualifications of the first emperor, it was still reluctant to be called the king, and the emperor was not worthy of the throne at all! ”
And after the first emperor became emperor, he also became a thorn in the side of the imperial court, and the elite army slaughtered the Green Forest Army. At that time, Wancheng had not yet been conquered, if the inside should be combined with the outside, under the siege, the Green Forest Army would be defeated, and the first emperor would die! But the lord played a strange plan, and the commander of the court, Wang Yi, made mistakes constantly, was trapped in Kunyang for more than ten days, missed the opportunity, and was attacked by the lord in one fell swoop, and all 200,000 elites were wiped out! ”
"The Lord has a destiny...... The founding ancestors of the past dynasties all had great luck, but they were as lucky as the lord, and they were the sons of destiny, which was too little! As long as you get through the current crisis, the lord will win! ”
Liu Xiu smiled.
The atmosphere is in the body, and the destiny is in the body.
But why can't he see it?
The army continued to advance, but the previous defeat damaged morale.
In most areas of Hebei, all of them surrendered to Wang Lang, morale was low, the soldiers could not see the hope of victory, the generals could not see hope, and there were soldiers who deserted one after another, and then some generals deserted. There are soldiers in exile all the time.
After only five days, the soldiers continued to flee, and only 3,000 soldiers remained.
Deng Yu wanted to step forward to intercept him, but was stopped by Liu Xiu: "If you want to go, let's go, it's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, let him go!" In that year, Han Gaozu was canonized as the king of Han and went to Hanzhong, and soldiers fled one after another, but so what, after getting a firm foothold in Hanzhong, it was still the Northern Expedition! ”
Deng Yu no longer intercepted.
On the sixth day, the people were sleepy and tired, and finally arrived at Sindu.
Liu Xiu wrote a letter and submitted a letter to Xindu: Ren Envoy Jun, Li Duwei, Wang Lang usurped power as king, swept Hebei, and surrendered everywhere he went. And I became a lost dog, with few soldiers and horses, passing by Xindu, wanting to use it as a foundation to crusade against Handan! ”
"If you trust me, follow me in battle, and put down the rebels; If you don't trust me, you can capture me and get ten thousand households! ”
…………
The letter was delivered, and Liu Xiu was waiting.
It could be a peaceful reception, or it could be a bloody battle.
If it is the spirit of the king and cannot make people surrender, then the sword of the king makes people surrender!
The letter was delivered, Ren Guang opened the letter and read it, and Li Zhong read it again, and the expressions of both parties were complicated.
Li Zhong asked, "Envoy, how to choose?" ”
Ren Guangdao: "General Liu, is my old boss, I once followed him and defeated 200,000 enemy troops in the Battle of Kunyang. Now, he is naturally greeting! ”
"But Wang Lang ......" Li Zhong frowned and said, "Now, General Liu's situation is not good?" ”
Ren Guangdao: "So what? I'd rather be a lackey of a hero than a mediocre father. Wise and martial, there is no one more than General Liu, as for Wang Lang is just a splashy, scoundrel child, how can He De be the emperor, it is simply not Bilian! ”
The next day, Ren Guang, Li Zhong and other people personally went out of the city to greet them.
Liu Xiu stepped forward to talk.
Hand in hand entered the castle and peacefully took over the castle of Shinto.
Liu Xiu and others entered the city, had a place to stay, and had the first base area.
began to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and the tired soldiers were rested; New recruits are being recruited again, the strength of the army is slowly improving, and everything is going on in an orderly manner.
It's just that the soldiers of Xindu are still a little poor, not elite soldiers.
If you want to train with combat effectiveness, it will take at least half a year, but Wang Lang's army is threatened, and you have to fight bloody battles all the time, and there is no time for training at all, and there is no time to train elite soldiers. The foundation is too shallow, and the time is still too short!
At the same time, letters were sent to the counties of Hebei, calling on Yan Zhao Nan'er to gather troops and destroy Handan Wanglang.
As for how many counties have been called for, Liu Xiu has no bottom in his heart.
can only have dates without dates, they all step forward to hit two poles!!
