The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 207
Hong Bo's defeat completely disrupted their plans.

It is no exaggeration to call it the turning point of their battle.

More than 7000 people were killed and injured, and all their hard work in recent days was ruined in vain.

Greatly dampened the morale of their troops.

Zhang Yan's troops, whose morale had fallen to the bottom and were in a precarious situation, once again saw the hope of victory.

Under the ebb and flow, the situation is extremely unfavorable to them.

A combination of factors.

So not killing Hong Bo is not enough to vent his anger, not enough to appease his anger.

Seeing the footsteps of the soldiers outside the door, Hong Bo was startled, and hurriedly explained:

"This campaign was all because Gao Ming sent troops without authorization, and fell into the enemy's trick to lure the enemy.

The other party pretended to be Gao Ming and others and sneaked into the garrison, Fang caught us off guard.

The general cannot escape the blame for this, but I just hope that the general will see the general for his meritorious service in killing the enemy, and let the general spare this time..."

Huangfusong snorted coldly and turned away without even looking at Hongbo.

Without any hesitation, several soldiers came straight to fetch Hongbo.

Seeing this situation, Hong Bo hastily broke away from the soldiers and fell behind Huangfusong.

Hugging Huangfusong's calf, weeping loudly and pleading continuously:
"General, spare your life! Spare me..."

Huangfusong quickly broke free from Hong Bo's shackles, turned around and roared at the soldiers:
"Why are you standing still! Why don't you pull this shameful waste out and chop it up!"

"Here!"

Seeing that Huangfusong was like an angry lion, the soldiers dared not touch him again.

Two burly soldiers grabbed Hong Bo's arm and dragged him out like a dead dog.

"General, spare your life! Spare me..."

Seeing that Huangfu Song was determined to kill him, Hong Bo was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split, and he begged bitterly.

Unknowingly, my lower body became a little incontinent.

A faint foul smell in the big tent gradually spread into everyone's noses.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and couldn't help frowning with disdain in their eyes.

Such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death is also worthy of being a general?

The two of them are really ashamed to be with each other.

Liu Bei also looked down on Hong Bo, and there was even a gap between the two.

Hong Bo had often taken the lead in pushing him out before!

It stands to reason that Hong Bo was pulled out and beheaded, Liu Bei felt happy and relieved his hatred.

But Liu Bei has also experienced Hongbo's suffering, and understands Hongbo's current situation, and he really can't blame him for this matter.

For the sake of the overall situation, Liu Bei couldn't help but stand up, and pleaded for Hongbo with kindness and grievances:

"General, there is Zhang Yan's army in front of him, and the army from Yixing City in the future. We are waiting for the enemy, and it is time to employ people.

General Hong is certainly to blame, but beheading the general at this moment is not good for our army's morale.

If you don't remember the big mistake for the time being, make a contribution to the crime, and deal with it after the war. "

Some generals who had always been on good terms with Hong Bo pleaded for him:
"What Xuande said is true! The battle is imminent, and it is really inappropriate to kill the general to shake the morale of the army."

"It's not in a hurry to kill General Hong. It's better to let him make up for his crimes and meritorious deeds."

"General, think twice..."

Seeing that everyone pleaded for Hong Bo, the sullen look on Huangfu Song's face eased.

Liu Bei and others are right. The current situation is grim and a war is imminent.

Just at the time of employment, killing Hongbo would further shake the morale of the army, so there was really no need to rush to kill him.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Huangfu Songfang hated that iron could not become a steel road:

"For the sake of everyone pleading for you, let's keep it in mind for now.

If you can't make meritorious deeds to get drunk and make mistakes, you will definitely be killed, and no one will be able to plead for you at that time! "

Hearing that Hong Bo was pardoned, he broke free from the hands of the two strong masters.

Weeping with gratitude to everyone, he said:
"Thank you General! Thank you Xuande! Thank you everyone!"

Hong Bo, who had just walked through the gate of hell, was busy thanking everyone.

Liu Bei nodded at Hong Bo, making the latter feel ashamed.

That day when he made trouble for Liu Bei, he did not expect Liu Bei to try his best to intercede for him with kindness and hatred.

Comparing the two minds, he feels that he is a villain, and Liu Bei is a gentleman!
Huangfusong glanced at Hong Bo coldly, and said with a gloomy expression:
"The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us.

Zhang Yanjun and the reinforcements from Ngai Hing City formed a siege around us, instead of sitting and waiting for their double-teaming.

If you don't take the initiative to attack one side first, you will win a chance for us to breathe. "

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

Liu Bei couldn't help asking:

"The general already has a way to defeat the enemy?"

Huangfusong shook his head and said:

"Zhang Yan's troops were exhausted after a long period of fighting, and the city was flooded for many days, and the city was easily captured under our rapid attack.

Right now, we can only gamble, increase our offensive strength, and take Zhang Yan as soon as possible within a day or two.

As for how to deal with the army coming from Ngai Hing City, we can make further calculations. "

Liu Yi sent 5000 troops to rescue.

Huangfusong was very uncomfortable with the constant military strength.

If Liu Yi sent more men, even if he was in sight of defeating Zhang Yan's troops, perhaps he would take the overall situation into consideration and lead the army to retreat without saying a word.

It happened that only 5000 troops were sent, and it only took two or three days to defeat Zhang Yan's troops.

There are many unknown risks in a gamble, and he is not reconciled to giving up and retreating.

This made Huangfusong very tangled in his heart.

Liu Bei fell into deep thought when he heard this.

His thoughts coincided with Huangfusong's.

They have already paid so many casualties, and they are about to capture Zhang Yan's troops. If they stop here, wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain?
The lingering of Zhang Yan's troops is nothing to worry about.

As long as they can resist the incoming army from Yixing City and buy more time, the situation can be reversed.

At that time, they still have the right to choose whether to fight or retreat. If they drag on, their situation will only become more passive.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bei took the initiative to invite Ying again:

"The soldiers and horses of Yixing City came from a long way, and after two more battles, they are currently setting up camp behind us, without further approaching.

Maybe it's because people are tired and horses are exhausted. While resting and recharging their energy, they put pressure on us.

Want to force me to take the initiative to retreat.

The general intends to take down Zhang Yan's troops quickly, and is willing to ask the leaders to go to defend them with all their strength, so as to buy time for the general to attack Zhang Yan's troops.

After the general captures Zhang Yan's troops, he will dispatch his troops to support us and discuss the arrival of the army from Yixing City, which will solve our army's crisis.

If the other party wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, they must first step over the corpse..."

Liu Bei's words are powerful and give people great confidence.

However, Huangfusong still did not directly agree to his request.

He bowed his head in thought.

The method of sending troops to be on guard is indeed in line with their current situation.

Liu Bei's recent performance, even Huang Fusong saw it.

Learning from the lessons of several defeats, Liu Bei is much calmer than Hong Bo and others.

There are two fierce generals Zhang Fei and Guan Yu under his command.

It should be possible to send him to intercept the incoming army from Yixing City, simply defending and delaying for some time.

During this period, as long as he leads the army to defeat Zhang Yan's troops, and then helps Liu Bei to jointly attack the army from Yixing City, they can indeed resolve their passive situation.

The only difficulty is that their troops are limited, and it is indeed not appropriate to divide them too much.

Make bricks without straw.

Rao Huangfusong, who was experienced in leading the army, couldn't think of a better way for a while.

But the thoughts deep in his heart still want to fight again...
