The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 226 Both sides are messed up
A fire destroyed Huangfusong's army and almost caused Zhang Yan to lose his shelter.

Looking at the city that had been burned by the fire, Zhang Yan lacked interest.

Ready to abandon the city and find another place to settle down.

The proud and arrogant he still does not intend to take refuge in Liu Yi, but is eager to regroup and make a comeback.

He believed that as long as he went around more and lobbied the rebels in the nearby area, and recruited some refugees into the army, he would be able to raise a large army in a short time.

There is still the possibility of fighting against Liu Yi and ruling from the north to the south.

Zheng Yi analyzed the situation and believed that it is not appropriate to abandon the city and find another place to settle down.

Right now, Huangfusong only has 1 horses left, and they still have close to 2 horses.

Gain momentum.

It is not impossible to defend the city even if there is no defensive equipment.

If you choose to abandon the city and find another place.

The big and small forces in the entire Taihang Mountain area will definitely think that they were beaten by Huangfusong so that they ran away without even a place to stay.

Compared with the two, it is not a wise choice to abandon the city for the time being.

Besides, Huangfusong was under a lot of pressure right now, not less than them.

Although Dian Wei and others transported the spoils back to Yixing City.

However, no one can guarantee whether Liu Yi will send them to attack Huangfusong again.

If Liu Yi sent troops to attack again, Huangfusong's army might not be far from being wiped out.

Therefore, under Zheng Yi's analysis of pros and cons and persuasion, Zhang Yan decided to stick to it for a while, waiting for Huangfusong to retreat on his own initiative.

Hold respect for yourself.

……

But Dian Wei and others returned triumphantly with many war horses, armors, weapons and other trophies.

The people from all over Yixing City spontaneously lined the road to welcome the triumphant return of their patron saints.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.

Liu Yi also ordered his servants to prepare a banquet to celebrate the achievements of Dian Wei and others.

at the banquet.

Hearing the reports of Dianwei, Li Dagui and others, Liu Yi also felt a little dumbfounded.

The original intention was just to let them paddle in the water, just make a point of it.

Unexpectedly, they nearly killed Huangfusong to wipe out the entire army, and brought back many spoils of war.

But no matter how you say it, it is not a bad thing for him to be able to win a big victory and kill Huangfusong fiercely.

With Huangfusong's few troops left, the pressure on Ngai Hing City is almost negligible.

There is Bai Qi who is not afraid of Liu Yi from the bottom of his heart, but he thinks that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

The focus should be on developing vigorously, training the reserve army, promoting the farming system, and safeguarding people's livelihood.

In this era of continuous plagues, locust plagues, and extreme weather.

He hopes to reduce as much as possible, because of the weakening of his own strength due to internal friction.

Therefore, when Liao Hua has not returned and there is no better opportunity to make a move.

Liu Yi did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and send a large army to encircle and suppress Huangfusong while you were sick and killed you.

Instead, build Yixing City with peace of mind, vigorously develop productivity, and wait for the time to defeat the enemy with one blow.

……

Zhang Yan was not idle during this period of time.

Constantly putting gold on his face, boasting that he annihilated tens of thousands of Huangfusong's army, and that the complete annihilation of Huangfusong is just around the corner!

Trying to use these reputations to vigorously gather the rebel army in the Montenegro area, and continuously strengthen their own strength...

But said.

Huangfusong fled back to the camp with more than ten thousand remnants of defeated generals.

Seeing that the 1 troops only fled back about [-].

He haggarded a lot in an instant, only feeling bored in his heart, and it took him a long time to recover.

Thinking of mistrusting the young general of the Black Mountain Army, misusing Hong Bo, and not listening to Liu Bei's words, Huangfusong almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.

To have led the army to fight for many years would make such a low-level mistake!
Almost ruining the lives of the entire army made him want to give himself a few big ears.

Thinking back to the beginning of leaving Beijing.

I can still vividly remember the arrogance and arrogance of my sworn promise that I would wipe out the Black Mountain bandits.

When I first arrived in Jizhou, all directions came to help, and a large army of [-] was gathered to prepare for a big fight.

Annihilate Zhang Yan's and Liu Yi's troops in one fell swoop.

How high-spirited?
Unexpectedly, the attack on Liu Yi was blocked first, and there was no victory.

The next best thing is to attack Zhang Yan, and the flooding of the Black Mountain Army makes it close to defeating the enemy.

And sent troops one after another to intercept the troops from Ngai Hing City to support Zhang Yan.

Don't want to defeat Zhang Yan, and join them to attack Liu Yi.

I just want to be able to hold back the opponent, and after defeating Zhang Yan, the team will go back to Liu Hong to do business.

Unexpectedly, both sides messed up in the end!
Although Zhang Yan suffered heavy losses, it was not enough to hand over to the court.

Taihang Mountain is Zhang Yan's territory, as long as he is given some time, he will be able to recover in a blink of an eye and make a comeback.

He spent so much material and financial resources and manpower on the conquest, the result was obviously not what he wanted.

And Liu Yi, who was more difficult, didn't pay too many casualties from beginning to end.

On the contrary, by constantly stabbing them with knives, he and Zhang Yan ran out of ammunition and food.

In the end, Liu Yi became fatter!
How does this make him reconciled?
But now he only has [-] troops left, while Zhang Yan still has [-] troops, and Liu Yi has [-] troops.

Even if he is the reincarnation of Zhang Liang and Han Xin, I am afraid that a clever woman will be unable to cook without rice and will be powerless.

in the big account.

Huangfusong looked at Liu Bei, Zhang Kuang and other generals, and wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words again.

He let out a long sigh, drooping his head, feeling very depressed.

Fighting on the battlefield for decades, experiencing hundreds of battles, big and small, I didn't expect to capsize in the gutter this time, and lose so thoroughly!

Seeing Huangfusong who was downcast and had no fighting spirit, everyone was also full of negativity.

Everyone was silent for a long time, Zhang Kuang took the lead in breaking the silence and comforting Huangfu Song:

"General! Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. The matter is a foregone conclusion. I hope the general will cheer up.

Right now we don't need to be discouraged, there is still a chance to reverse the defeat and turn the tide! "

Speaking of this, Zhang Kuang flashed a cold light in his eyes, and said resolutely:
"Ma Yuanyi didn't really help Zhang Yan.

The remaining troops of the Montenegro Army are just remnants, and the defense equipment is in urgent need.

We don't need to worry about Ma Yuanyi, we just need to fight with our backs and level the city where Zhang Yan is.

Even if the teacher returns to the court, he can also explain to the court.

As for Ma Yuanyi and the others, let him jump around for a few more days, and we will go to the conquest later, and he must pay back the debt with blood..."

Liu Bei also echoed:
"What General Zhang said is true, right now our army still has [-] soldiers and horses, and Zhang Yan only has [-] old and weak soldiers.

Let's work together and fight to the death, so there is no possibility of victory! "

What the two said made Huangfusong feel better.

But Zhang Kuang wanted Liu Yi to pay back his blood, which he felt was a bit too whimsical.

Now that Liu Yi can't be taken down, if Liu Yi continues to grow and develop, there will be no way to take him down in the future.

Several confrontations with Liu Yi made him deeply understand how difficult and terrifying Liu Yi is.

The soldiers under his command are fierce and united, and their combat effectiveness is far superior to that of ordinary troops.

Especially the [-] soldiers and horses that appeared that day, I am afraid that only some elite troops in the Northern Army of the imperial court can compare with it.

above the main seat.

Huangfusong looked at the crowd and said solemnly:
"Zhang Yan stays in the city and doesn't leave the city, a strong attack is not the best way.

If the confrontation continues, it will be difficult for our army to solve the problem of food and grass supply from afar, and it will not be able to afford it.

Why? "
