Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 464 Depressed Zhang Liao, Excited Yuan Tan!
At this moment in Runan City, Zhang Liao was sitting in General Runan's mansion, looking at the flying horse-like scouts in front of him, he felt his head was getting bigger.

Since November, military information from various counties in Runan has been sent to me one after another like birds.

It's okay if it's good news, but none of it is good news.

"Report! General, Shangcai County is surrounded by 1 people led by General Wenpin under Yuan Tan's command. The guard of Shangcai was defeated in a bitter battle. He has withdrawn from Shangcai County and is approaching Zhengyang County!"

"Report! General, Zhengyang County was attacked by 1 people led by Yuan Tan's general Wei Yan. It was conquered at noon yesterday, and the defender of Zhengyang was beheaded by Wei Yan's formation!"

"Report! General, on the way to retreat, the Shangcai County guard was chased and killed by Qingqi led by Wenpin. The Shangcai County guard lost to Wenpin and was stabbed to death under his horse!"

"Report! General, Runing County was surrounded by the personal guards led by Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan personally went into battle and beheaded the defender of Runing County. Runing County has been conquered by Yuan Tan!"

"Report-"

From morning to night, from the beginning of November to the tenth day of November, within ten days.

The four counties in Runan have all declared their fall!Of the [-] soldiers and horses left behind in the four counties, not even one successfully retreated to Runan!
Zhang Liao's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. After hearing the last military report, he suddenly got up, strode into the courtyard, stared at the willow tree in the courtyard for a long time, and finally raised his hand suddenly, holding it firmly. willow tree.

It's like venting your anger on a willow tree.

After a long time, he withdrew his right hand and said in a deep voice, "Send an order to let the three generals Song Yu, Hou Cheng, and Li Tong come to the mansion to meet me."

The servants next to him all lowered their heads, looking cautious, not even daring to breathe.

Although his own general is a very good person, and treats his servants very kindly on weekdays, Zhang Liao is a famous general in the world after all, he has fought in countless battles, and he is even famous as the enemy of ten thousand people.

The murderous aura on his body didn't come out normally, but at this moment, stimulated by the successive defeats of the army, after it was revealed, it was sent back to the servants who were all fearful and fearful, and they didn't even dare to take a breath!
Like a demon!

Finally, the servants who heard Zhang Liao's order ran out one by one to inform the other generals as if they had received an amnesty.

There were only two who ran slowly, and they stayed to serve Zhang Liao. Both of them were trembling, they didn't even whisper to each other, and they didn't even dare to wander wildly, for fear of being misunderstood by the general, they would clean up themselves.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao also knew that his current mood was not suitable for meeting outsiders, so he paused and said in a deep voice, "Go down, I don't have to wait on you today, the three generals are here, let them go directly to the main hall to meet me .”

"Yes!"

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, the two unlucky bastards hurriedly nodded and retreated as if they were being pardoned. Before leaving, one of them accidentally glanced at the willow tree in the courtyard, but after seeing it, he couldn't take his eyes off again. !

A pair of eyes, full of shock!
the reason is simple.

On the willow tree, where Zhang Liao was holding onto before, Zhang Liao, who was furious, made a palm print!One can imagine how angry his general was!
"General!"

"General!"

"I've seen the general!"

Zhang Liao personally sent someone to invite him, whether it was Song Yu, Hou Cheng or Li Tong, they did not dare to neglect, and hurried to the general's mansion in Runan.

At this time, Zhang Liao had recovered from the anger of the successive defeats. When he saw the three people arriving, he nodded and said, "It's good to come. Let's sit down and discuss the matter. I believe you all heard about the recent military situation when you came." Alright."

When the three of them heard Zhang Liao's words, they all nodded solemnly.

Li Tong took the lead and said: "General, Xiaoer Yuan Tan is approaching menacingly, does the general have any countermeasures?"

Zhang Liao shook his head: "I haven't figured out a strategy to deal with the enemy yet, but it's just a matter of holding on to the city and waiting for reinforcements."

Song Wei's expression relaxed when he heard this. He was afraid that Zhang Liao would be impulsive and lead his troops out to fight Yuan Tan.

Others don't know, but Song Yu and Hou Cheng know it clearly.

The [-] horses under his general's command were assigned to Zhang Liao by Prime Minister Cao.

But when General Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao in his early years, he brought [-] soldiers and horses with him. The [-] Bingzhou Army followed Wen Hou in the early years to fight in the South and North, and he also had a very deep relationship with Zhang Liao.

After Zhang Liao surrendered to Cao Cao, he also made a lot of contributions to Cao Cao's leveling of the North and the South.

But when Cao Cao's great cause was about to be accomplished, Zhang Liao's [-] private troops became particularly annoying. First, he transferred the [-] private troops away, saying that the [-] soldiers and horses were old, lacked physical strength, and were not worthy. Famous generals like General Zhang Liao.

Then the 2 people were dismantled into various counties to serve as city defense forces.

It wasn't until later, after Cao Cao suffered a big defeat in the Central Plains and retreated to Xuchang, that he had no choice but to delegate power to Zhang Liao, promoted Zhang Liao to Runan General, and allocated [-] troops to Zhang Liao.

In order to let Zhang Liao do things with peace of mind, Zhang Liao was sent to Runan. His [-] private army was the city defense army of the four counties in Runan.

but now……

Song Yu shrank his head, and looked at Hou Cheng cautiously. Obviously, they also knew that the [-] Bingzhou veterans had all died on the battlefield.

In fact, as early as the first year of Ding'an, when Zhang Liao had just taken over as the general of Runan, he had written to Cao Cao many times, asking the city defense forces of the four counties in Runan to retreat to Runan City.

After all, Runan is too small, it's just a county.

Those four county towns are also quite barren, and it's okay to not have much output, and the city walls are still quite low.

If you build a city wall, it's too wasteful of manpower and material resources, and it's not worth building a large town for a small county.

But if you don't repair it, you won't talk about it in peacetime. Once it comes to wartime, the city defense forces of the four counties will be killed.

Zhang Liao didn't want to abandon these four counties, but felt that these four small counties were not important, and there was no need to stay behind for defense.

If it is really a defense, an Evergreen camp can be established at the foot of the Evergreen Mountain in front of Runan City.

Rely on the mountain of Changqing Mountain to defend against the attacking enemy.

Unfortunately, Zhang Liao had a good idea, but Cao Cao, who had been frightened by the fact that Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Yue Jin had surrendered to the enemy before the battle, was not willing to agree to Zhang Liao's suggestion?
Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Le Jin are three generals with foreign surnames who have followed Cao Cao since the beginning of his career, and even these three are unreliable.

You, Zhang Liao, are a surrendered general. Could it be that your loyalty is higher than these three?
Thinking about it makes it impossible!
So Cao Cao refused of course.

Of course, the reason given must not be so given.

So Cao Cao said that Xuchang is a little tight now. He just bought the Xuzhou Armor and is very poor. Please forgive me, general.

But the result... Needless to say.

The [-] Bingzhou veterans were easily swept away by Yuan Tan's troops.

But if that's all, Zhang Liao wouldn't be so furious.

After all, for soldiers, returning corpses shrouded in horse leather, dying in battle and laughing on the battlefield, these are all common things.

But by chance, Cao Cao created another evergreen camp!
The Changqing camp was built according to the mountain situation of Changqing Mountain. Not only was it extremely strong, but it was also built very quickly. A lot of manpower and material resources were invested. It is called "providing a barrier for General Zhang Liao's defense of Runan".

Then?

Then Cao Cao sent in [-] cavalry led by his two clan generals, Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, and used the Changqing camp as a base to harass the counties and counties in Yuzhou.

At this time, why didn't you Cao Cao say you were short of money? ?
