The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 224 Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng

In a big battle, Liu Bei began to gain the upper hand, and Liu Xiao was tricked. Although there was no specific loss, it still left people scratching their heads.

Immediately afterwards, it was Liu Xiao's turn to play his cards, and found another way to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao, lead the tiger back to the mountain, and gave Liu Bei a sap. Lujiang City changed hands twice. Although Liu Bei regained Lujiang City again, [-]% of the food in the city was burned. Seventy percent, the remaining food and grass can only last more than ten days. As for Wei Yan and Guan Ping who besieged Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was not killed by them, but was defeated by the reinforcements led by Zhang Xiu and Dian Wei. Withdrew into Lujiang City.

In the end, it was Liu Bei who suffered the most. Not only was most of the stored food and grass burned, but even the tens of thousands of troops suffered a lot of casualties because of a big battle. The main reason was that he was ambushed on the way to rescue and was caught off guard by the archers and cavalry. ,lost heavily.

Depressed, Liu Bei retreated to Lujiang City, ready to rely on Lujiang City to continue the decisive battle with Liu Xiao, but was stopped by Xu Shu.

"My lord, no matter what, we can't defend the city. Although the six counties in Jiangdong are in our hands now, they have just captured them and their foundation is not stable. Once Liu Xiao blocks us in Lujiang County City, and then divides his troops to attack, the rest of the cities The defense is empty, we are held back tightly, and the entire Jiangdong may change hands!"

Xu Shu said in a deep voice.

"only……"

Liu Bei hesitated and said: "Fighting head-on, in a field battle, we may not be Liu Xiao's opponent. Liu Xiao's Danyang soldiers and Qingzhou soldiers can fight well, and their strength is so strong that Jingzhou soldiers can't compare... "

Xu Shu shook his head and replied: "My lord, although Liu Xiao is an excellent soldier, he has worries about the future. Wenpin and Cai Mao have already led an army of more than 2 troops to Huainan County. The Changsha reinforcements with Huang Hansheng have also gone northward along the Xiangjiang River, not far from Lujiang County. As long as Huang Zhong's army reaches Lujiang, we will have another arm to help. Liu Xiao has no chance of winning! If we sit on the isolated city, once Huang Zhong If Zhong leads the army, he will be watched by Liu Xiao, and the two armies will lose their response, and they will be defeated by Liu Xiao one by one!"

Liu Bei's heart was shocked, and he nodded slowly. Although he is not very capable, he really obeyed Xu Shu's words. He also knew that Xu Shu was the only adviser he could rely on. Only by following Xu Shu's advice could he defeat Xu Shu. Liu Xiao, if you leave Xu Shu aside, then you won't be Liu Xiao's opponent.

"Yun Chang was wounded, and led [-] troops to stay in Lujiang City; Yide led [-] cavalry as the forward, protruding to the northeast, waiting for the arrival of Liu Xiao's army; Wei Yan led [-] cavalry as the left wing; Guan Ping led [-] cavalry and was on the right wing; the military commander and I led [-] cavalry to sit in the central army, with our backs against Lujiang City, and we will fight Liu Xiao at the foot of Lujiang City!"

Liu Bei said in a deep voice, "Military Master, what do you think?"

Xu Shu smiled and said: "My lord's deployment is advisable. With Lujiang as your back and the nine counties of Jingxiang behind you, you can ask the opposite Jiangxia County for food and grass nearby, but Liu Xiao's food and grass have to be transferred from Huainan or even Pei County, and the traffic and boats are difficult. Heavy, if there is no major mistake in this battle, we will already have a chance to win!"

The entire army began to mobilize, and before the deployment could be completed, Liu Xiao led the main force to catch up from behind, and confronted Liu Bei's army at the foot of Lujiang City.

"My lord, it's unfavorable to go out in the end, and Lujiang City will be lost again. Please punish me, my lord!"

Zhao Yun's face was a little red, and he bowed to apologize.

Liu Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Zilong, you are the first to make the first contribution in this battle. What is your fault? You were originally sent to attack Lujiang, and the purpose was to mobilize Liu Bei's army to return to Lujiang. Liu Bei was forced by you to return overnight, and finally Falling into our ambush circle, we beat him into a mess. As for Lujiang City, it would be better to be able to occupy it, but it is also expected that he could not be occupied. However, it was already an accident that a fire burned most of Liu Bei's food and grass. Surprised."

Chu Yanfei on the side said in a muffled voice: "That Liu Bei is really shameless. When General Zilong retreated into the city, he launched a surprise attack without any regard for face. In order to protect the city, General Zilong had to lead a lone army to fight Liu Bei. If The general has retreated into the city, and Lujiang City can definitely be preserved!"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Xiao laughed and said: "It's just that the dog jumped the wall in a hurry. Liu Bei was forced to rush. Don't talk about taking the opportunity to attack the city. As long as he can get him back to Lujiang County, he is willing to kowtow and kneel. This is connected to the central part of Jingzhou. It is Jiangxia, which has become the link between the nine counties of Jingxiang and the six counties of Jiangdong. If Liu Bei wants to maintain the connection with Liu Biao, then the Lujiang County team cannot afford to lose, and he will naturally use all means to snatch back Lujiang County."

Xun You said solemnly: "My lord, the scouts have sent the battle report. Jiang Xia's Wenpin and Cai Mao have led more than 2 troops into Huainan County. General Gao Chong and Feng Xiao are one step late. Huainan County has fallen and wants to take back Huainan County. It is impossible to rely solely on less than [-] troops. Feng Xiao has sent an order to mobilize another [-] elites from Xuzhou to Huainan to help out. If Huainan County is not captured, our army’s rear supply will be attacked by Liu Biao’s army at any time. threaten……"

Liu Xiao sneered and said, "This is indeed our negligence. I didn't expect Liu Biao to have the courage to fight us head-on. However, even if Liu Biao and Liu Bei join forces to attack, why should I be afraid? When we arrived in Xuzhou, Guan Hai He has already led [-] Qingzhou elites to leave Chengyang County. Now the army may have passed Xuzhou. In ten days at most, [-] Qingzhou elites can enter Huainan County. A Huainan county city cannot be defended by Wenpin and Cai Mao! As long as Liu Bei is defeated, Liu Biao is nothing but a dead man!"

"Report!"

While speaking, the scouts ran into the commander's tent and said to Liu Xiao: "My lord, our scouts found a large number of Jingzhou troops on the Xiangjiang River. They have crossed the Xiangjiang River and entered the Yangtze River by warship. It's only five or six days away!"

Liu Xiao was startled, and asked, "Where did the troops come from?"

The scout said in a deep voice: "It is reported that Liu Pan, the prefect of Changsha, and Huang Zhong, the deputy general, were ordered to lead [-] elite soldiers to the Lujiang River to help Liu Bei via water and land!"

"Huang Zhong!"

Liu Xiao's heart was shocked, he was another general!
There are still more than ten years before the Battle of Chibi in another time and space. That is to say, this Huang Zhong is only 50 or 50 years old, and he is in the prime of life. Being able to fight on par with Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, who is now [-] years old, is definitely not far behind even if he is not as powerful as Lu Bu. As for Liu Pan, he is also a hero. Liu Biao first entered Jingzhou, relying on My brave nephew...
