The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Luyang County.

Guan Yu withdrew here. Although he returned here, Guan Yu was very unhappy in his heart.

Along the way, he didn't speak much.

Guan Ping rarely saw his father like this.

He was too scared to say anything, but silently followed behind his father.

After entering Luyang City, Liu Bei was a little surprised to hear that Guan Yu had returned with his army.

Wasn't Guan Yu besieging Wancheng?

He hurried out and came to the outside of Luyang City, where he met his second brother Guan Yu.

"Yun Chang! Why did you come to Luyang?"

Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu in surprise.

Guan Yu was ashamed. Although he was not far from facing failure, he could only answer Liu Bei truthfully.

"Brother, Yun Chang is sorry for you. The siege of Wancheng did not work. Under Liu Zheng's command, [-] reinforcements suddenly came."

Immediately, Guan Yu told Liu Bei his plan and what happened outside the city this time.

Liu Bei, who knew about these things, was not too moved.

He had already guessed something about this matter.

The day before, Pang De, who had withdrawn from Anle County, had already let Liu Bei know that these soldiers stationed around would start to support in the direction of Wancheng.

It's just that Liu Bei didn't expect that these people, with such a fast support, had already killed Wancheng in just a short time, and defeated Guan Yu and returned.

Originally, Liu Bei thought that even if someone went to support Wancheng, they would be repelled by Guan Yu.

But now I heard Guan Yu say that there are [-] people supporting him. Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu had no choice.

Fortunately, Guan Yu brought back more than 2 people, so that their soldiers and horses would not be wiped out.

Chapter 1000 two hundred 58 important information

"It's a pity, it's a pity that the cavalry brought by General Ma Teng and Fazheng haven't arrived yet, otherwise, we will definitely be able to take back Wancheng and wipe out all the soldiers and horses stationed here by Liu Zheng!"

Liu Bei was still somewhat regretful. According to the news from his subordinates, Ma Teng and Fazheng's army was already in Yingchuan, and they could rush to Wancheng in less than two days.

Only two days away.

Two days will do.

As a result, it still fell short.

When Liu Bei said this, Guan Yu still blamed himself a little bit.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Yun Chang. We can't blame you for this matter. After all, we never expected that Liu Zheng's troops would provide support so quickly."

"Although in the battle of Wancheng, we didn't take advantage of anything, but brother, the opponent's loss of soldiers and horses is no less than ours."

"It is estimated that there are still about [-] soldiers and horses in Wancheng. Once General Ma Teng and Fazheng's [-] cavalry arrive, we will definitely be able to take Wancheng."

Although Guan Yu retreated, they did not fail.

The retreat this time was just a short-term strategic withdrawal of troops. They were stationed in Luyang County and waited for a few days until the 5 Guishuang Empire cavalry led by Ma Teng and Fazheng from Xiliang arrived here.

They can increase the effective force of 8 cavalry.

At that time, these troops will be enough to defeat the enemy troops stationed in Wancheng.

Liu Bei also thought of this.

Cai was not worried.

After all, the battle situation is the main one, and there must be a grand strategic layout.

Right now, the gains and losses are not so important.

"Then wait here for two more days."

"Just take advantage of these two days, second brother, you should also take a good rest, and there are still tough battles to be fought!"

"Yes, big brother!"

The battle of Wancheng is over.

However, Gan Ning and others in Wancheng did not stop.

On the one hand, many soldiers were injured due to the previous battle outside Wancheng.

If these soldiers want to receive effective treatment, they must go to nearby towns to have enough medical supplies.

Wancheng is the largest important town nearby, and there are a lot of supplies hoarded here. These injured soldiers will have a better chance of surviving if they come to Wancheng.

and.

Because Liu Zheng had already brewed baijiu before, and extracted high-concentration alcohol from the baijiu. The use of this alcohol in medical treatment greatly reduced the chances of Liu Zheng's soldiers dying in battle.

In many cases, small injuries will be disinfected with alcohol, which reduces the chance of infection and greatly improves the chance of survival.

On the other hand, because of the retreat of Guan Yu and others, Gan Ning, who was besieged for a few days, finally had the opportunity to leave the city.

After finally having free time to move around, he naturally started repairing the towers of Wancheng, and at the same time sent out scouts to pay close attention to the movement of people like Guan Yu who had already retreated.

Of course, the more important thing is that they have to go out and contact Jin Yiwei who has stopped contacting for several days.

Previously, because Guan Yu was stationed outside Wancheng with soldiers and horses, the news of Jin Yiwei could not be transmitted to Wancheng.

Now that Guan Yu's troops had retreated, Gan Ning took the troops to reconnect with the Jin Yiwei who was stationed nearby, and wanted to hear from Jin Yiwei about the recent situation on the battlefield in Jingzhou and information from various places.

But as soon as the connection was made, Gan Ning immediately got a big news.

He immediately returned to Wancheng with the Jinyiwei spy, and summoned several generals who were in Wancheng at the moment to discuss matters.

The county government of Wancheng, Gan Ning, Tai Shici, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and even the injured Sun Jian were all carried here.

They came here in a hurry, with a dazed look on their faces, not knowing what happened.

It was still Lu Bu who was so impatient that he couldn't bear it any longer. After seeing Gan Ning, he immediately asked Gan Ning.

"Brother Xingba, what happened, why did you summon me and everyone here?"

As soon as Lu Bu asked, several other people looked at Gan Ning.

Like Lu Bu, everyone was very puzzled.

Right now, the only option is to ask Gan Ning to clarify their doubts.

Gan Ning saw that everyone had arrived, so he stopped waiting and opened his mouth to answer Lu Bu.

"Guys, we're in trouble."

"trouble?"

Lu Bu was taken aback, not knowing what Gan Ning meant.

"Let him talk."

For a while, Gan Ning couldn't explain clearly, so he could only call up Jin Yiwei, who he had contacted from outside the city.

Soon, Jin Yiwei came over.

Although everyone knew Jin Yiwei, they still asked Jin Yiwei a few questions, and after confirming that Jin Yiwei was one of them, he felt relieved.

The candidates for Jinyiwei are all selected from thousands of people, and many of them have been trained since childhood.

It is unlikely to be mixed in by the enemy's espionage.

Especially the Jinyiwei that Gan Ning found this time is obviously Liu Zheng's dark son in ambush in Jingzhou, which is different from these people on the surface.

It is extremely difficult to know the identity of this dark child.

"Quickly tell me, what news did you Jin Yiwei receive?"

Lu Bu was in a hurry. After confirming the identity of the Jin Yiwei, he hurriedly opened his mouth to question the Jin Yiwei.

"Returning to the general, our spies stationed in Gyeonggi sent information that a large number of cavalry came out of Hulao Pass a few days ago, and their strength must exceed [-]. They came straight to Jingzhou. It is estimated that there are still two days left. It will reach the boundary of Nanyang!"

"what!"

"Impossible, with a large number of cavalry, where does Liu Bei have cavalry, could it be Ma Teng?"

"Ma Teng has only a few tens of thousands of horsemen under his command, and many of them are infantry. Where are the [-] cavalry?"

As soon as this Jin Yiwei finished speaking, he was immediately refuted by the other generals.

Tai Shici was the first to speak.

He absolutely couldn't believe that Ma Teng still had [-] cavalry under his command. If Ma Teng really had [-] cavalry, he would have led his troops to Jizhou long ago.

How could Ma Chao, the son, fall behind Liu Zheng?

Seeing that many generals did not believe this information, this Jin Yiwei was also a little aggrieved.

"General, the matter is true, and it was also reported from the front line. I have ordered someone to pass the news to His Majesty, and His Majesty will know the news soon. How to make a decision, please generals, you can discuss it yourself."

Jin Yiwei is only responsible for passing on the information, and will not give any opinions to the generals present.

When everyone heard this, their expressions darkened for a while.

They are all thinking about these words.

"Everyone, you all understand the situation, what should we do next?"

Chapter 1000 Two hundred 59 Discussion

Gan Ning called everyone to come, the purpose is to let everyone know the current situation, so as to discuss a solution.

At least [-] troops, supporting Nanyang from Luoyang, went south from Hulao Pass, and soon reached Yingchuan, and then went directly to Nanyang.

In fact, it won't be long.

This made Gan Ning and the others even more anxious, because there was not much time left for them.

If the decision is not made now, after a while, even if they want to withdraw their troops at that time, they may not be able to escape.

After all, Liu Bei's reinforcements were all cavalry.

The mobility of the cavalry is still extremely terrifying at this time.

Everyone was silent for a while, that is to say, Tai Shici was calmer after all. Seeing that everyone was silent at the moment, he spoke immediately.

"Everyone, the current situation in Wancheng is not optimistic. I think we should retreat first?"

Tai Shici's original intention was to abandon Wancheng and retreat to the Xinye line first, after all, there was a river blocking it.

Even if the cavalry is strong, in the south where there is water, the cavalry still can't play a big role.

"Retreat? No, how can we retreat?"

As soon as Lu Bu heard that he was going to retreat, he was the first to stand up and object.

This is not because Lu Bu is unwilling to retreat, but because he, Lu Fengxian, is the number one God of War among the Three Kingdoms, and he has always been the only one to beat others away, but there is no time when he retreats in despair.

Lu Bu was quite afraid of such things as retreating.

After all, even if the enemy army has a lot of reinforcements, there are still a lot of soldiers and horses in Wancheng now.

These soldiers and horses can't be defeated, but they can always stick to it.

In addition, there are some other soldiers and horses now, and they don't only have this manpower.

"If we retreat, it means that we have given up on Wancheng. In this case, how can we explain to His Majesty when we go back?"

Gao Shun also stood up at this time and said something.

Gao Shun actually did not agree with the retreat. After all, when Liu Zheng left, he told the soldiers who had fallen into the camp to assist General Gan Ning here and defend Wancheng.

"It's different now. You didn't know before that Liu Bei actually has tens of thousands of hidden reinforcements. If we continue to sit in Wancheng, we will be too far away from the rear support, and we may not be able to block the enemy's attack before the reinforcements arrive. .”

"Besides, now that His Majesty has returned to Fancheng first, it is estimated that if His Majesty brings people to support here, the main force will definitely be stationed in the Xinye area."

"Of course, the reason why I advocate temporarily retreating to Xinye is also because Wancheng was attacked by Guan Yu's troops before, and the city was relatively dilapidated, and the city gate was completely bombed. It is not easy for us to repair it in a short time. "

"If the next time the enemy army arrives here, if they directly attack Wancheng, we people will have no way to defend the city, but will directly turn into a battle at the entrance of the alley."
