Chapter 313

Prefecture, in the hall.

Liu Xiu and his military officers and generals gathered together.

After the war, the crisis of Xiangyang City has come to an end. In a short time, Liu Bei could not lead his troops to attack the city, so Liu Xiu also returned to the prefecture from the city.

Huang Hu was sitting in danger with a touch of sadness in his eyes. He reported: "Lord, since the beginning of the war, we have killed 1500 soldiers, and most of them have been injured. However, the remaining soldiers in the army can fight again. "

Shamoko continued: "the 5000 barbarians under his humble command have killed more than 800 people. The rest of the soldiers were also injured. However, the remaining 4000 barbarians can still fight again. "

Listening to Huang Hu and shamoke's report, Liu Xiu's eyes were also very dignified.

More than 2000 elite casualties are a considerable loss.

Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, whether he is a Han soldier or a barbarian soldier, he will register them one by one and then give them a pension. The soldiers fought bravely, and their contributions should not be forgotten. At the same time, the soldiers who have made great achievements in this war should also be rewarded one by one. "

Yi Ji arched his hand and said, "don't worry, my Lord. I will arrange my humble position."

Liu Xiu waved his big hand and said: "in addition to the daily defense on the city floor, we can relax for a while. These two days, we should take good care of our spirit and prepare for the subsequent war. "

"Yes

Everyone was relieved when they got the order.

Liu Xiu added: "the soldiers lost by the flying tiger camp and the barbarians should be re selected and replenished. These two armies are elite troops stationed in Xiangyang. They can't be disabled. "

"No!"

Huang Hu and shamoko nodded and wrote down the words.

……

Ten miles outside the city, Liu Bei's barracks.

When the soldiers in the army withdrew, the result of the battle was presented. Guan Yu first got the news, after reading the inventory, his face was very dignified. In today's war alone, as many as 3000 soldiers have been lost. In addition to previous losses, the number of soldiers under Liu Bei's command is no more than 10000, and the fighting capacity has been sharply reduced.

In Guan Yu's opinion, Liu Xiu's moves are like killing people with blunt knives, cutting off Liu Bei's power bit by bit. Especially now he killed Zhang Fei and stabbed Liu Bei.

Such a situation raised a little worry for Guan Yu.

Guan Yu came to Liu Bei. He looked at the food on Liu Bei's desk and said in a deep voice, "brother, you don't eat or drink. Are you going to die with your third brother?"

Liu Bei's face is dignified and looks like a failure.

Suddenly, Liu Bei asked, "second brother, is elder brother really useless?"

On hearing this, Guan Yu knew that Zhang Fei's death had a great impact on Liu Bei. But it has come to this point, Guan Yu is also very helpless, because he is also sad. Guan Yu sat down and comforted: "brother, the third brother is dead, but it's not your fault."

Liu Bei shook his head and choked: "those who came out with us, Yuan Shao died, but at least he was brilliant; Gongsun Zan died, and he was brilliant; Lv Bu died, and he was brilliant. When Sun Jian and sun CE died, they were brilliant. Now Cao Cao and Sun Quan have their own foundations, let alone their own. "

"The people who follow Cao Cao have made great progress."

"People who follow the sun family are now dominating in Jiangdong."

"Only the second and third brothers follow me. They have been living a hard life. I've always thought that when Jingzhou is conquered, or if they dominate, they can make the second and third younger brothers live a good life and enjoy happiness. "

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

"My third brother asked me to take revenge before he died, but I didn't have the ability to take revenge for him."

"I hate it. I hate my own incompetence."

Liu Bei's eyes, there is a strong sense of helplessness and despair, he really feel useless. Why is Liu Bei so embarrassed when he works hard.

God is not fair!

Heaven is not equal!

In Liu Bei's heart, there is a strong resentment.

Guan Yu sighed and said: "brother, if you want to revive the Han Dynasty, it is a difficult and dangerous road. Can it be useful for you to continue to grieve and blame yourself? It's impossible for the third brother to survive. On the contrary, Liu Xiu knows that he will laugh at the elder brother and be complacent. "

"Big brother, we are not as good as Liu Xiu now, but we don't have no chance."

"If big brother gives up, can he still have a chance?"

"Brother, you often say that no matter what you do, you can wait for the chance of success. Now the third younger brother is dead. Although he can't beat Liu Xiu for the time being, as long as he works hard, he will have a chance. "

"I believe that the spirit of the third brother is in heaven, and I will be glad to see elder brother cheer up."

Guan Yu seized Liu Bei's hand and solemnly said, "brother, the third brother is not here. But elder brother, you still have me. I will help elder brother and avenge my third brother. "

Liu Bei heard the speech and nodded heavily.He took a deep breath and said, "second brother, thank you very much."

Seeing that Liu Bei's state of mind gradually improved, Guan Yu also laughed and said happily, "elder brother, I'll let people heat up the meal. You eat first. When you're full, we'll talk about the next war."

Liu Bei was relieved. He lifted the bowl and shook his head. "No, it's good to eat like this." After Liu Bei adjusted his state, he ate quickly.

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

Guan Yu first said it again, and then analyzed it: "the current situation is that our troops are insufficient. If we are stationed outside Xiangyang City, we may be defeated at any time. I suggest that brother withdraw to Zhonglu county first. Zhonglu county is an hour's journey from Xiangyang City, and it's convenient for us to get to and fro, but when we get 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."

"Newspaper!"

All of a sudden, the voice of the soldiers sounded outside the camp.

"Come in!"

Liu Bei gave a command, the tent curtain rolled up, and the soldiers quickly came in.

After the soldier entered, he knelt down on one knee and said, "my Lord, I just received the news from Jiangdong. At present, Zhou Yu has led his army to attack Changsha County, and has defeated Ancheng county and Chaling County, approaching the camp of you County under Liu Xiu. "

"Good!"

Finally, there is a smile in Liu Bei's eyes.

Finally, a breakthrough has been made in Jiangdong. Once Zhou Yu conquers the camp of you County, it means that Liu Xiu's southwest layout will be completely broken.

Next, it will further affect the situation in Jingzhou.

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

Liu Bei nodded again and again and said, "the second brother has a point. That's it."

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

For a time, the news of the destruction of Changsha County was spread in the army. After the soldiers heard the news, their morale began to turn around and go up.

For a time, the military camp changed its decline, and the soldiers were full of expectation with high morale.

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

After Liu Xiu got the news, he had no response.

However, it was just the destruction of Ancheng county and Chaling County, but Liu Bei made it seem that the whole Jingzhou was going to fall. He obviously exaggerated the facts, and Liu Xiu could afford the loss.

Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and government officials did not respond to the news.

In the study, Liu Xiu is checking the information from the royal guards.

Among them, some grain merchants raised grain prices and made a lot of money during the war. At the same time, some officials took the opportunity to make money.

All the information was collected by the royal guards.

After Liu Xiu annotated them one by one, he immediately arranged for Deng Zhan to ask the royal guards to carry out the order. If they should be punished, they should be killed. If they want to make a fortune in the war, they should be ready to be killed.

"Dong! Dong

There was a knock on the door, outside the room.

Deng Zhan's voice came: "Lord, there is a military emergency."

"Come in!"

Liu Xiu's eyes showed a look of expectation.

"He took out the letter and sent it to the library of Jinling county. It is estimated that the military division has now entered Nanyang County. "

Liu Xiu nodded and opened the envelope.

After watching, Liu Xiu's face showed excited expression, suddenly burst into laughter and said in a loud voice: "the plan has been successful. Now, Zhang Ren has led the army into Nanyang County. Liu Xiu's home is about to be broken. "

Deng Zhan arched his hand and said, "Congratulations, Lord!"

Liu xiudao: "Liu Bei thought that something had happened in Changsha County, so we had a headache. But we didn't know that his own rear area was almost finished. Now, let's wait a little longer. Once the news of Nanyang County's victory is sent back, the war can begin to end. "
