Warring States Call

Chapter 1051
The army was defeated like a mountain, and the sky gradually dimmed. Because of the arrival of the Han Xin Corps, the defense of Wancheng became stronger. The original Wancheng only had 10 troops. With the 20 soldiers and horses in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, I thought It was a battle full of confidence, but it was unimaginable. It would be so bleak to lose. Now there are 20 soldiers in Wancheng, and Wu Qi is a famous general in the world, with a great reputation. Now he is fighting, but he is suffering. .

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on his throne at the moment, looking sad, holding and putting down the writing brush in his hand, staring at the map in front of him, his expression was embarrassing. .

"The king's casualties are coming!" Xu Da led Wu Jianzhang behind him!Wu Yunzhao and the two came over, their faces looked a little embarrassed.

"How!" Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and pretended to be calm.

"More than 1 horses were lost in this battle! More than 6 people were injured, including more than 2000 who were seriously injured and died, and countless minor injuries!" Xu Da said in detail, his face became embarrassing every time he said a word. Said: "Ying Bu! The two generals of Lu Bu were seriously injured! Among the seven strong generals, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Zang Ba, Cao Xing, and Cheng Lian were killed in battle, and General Hou Cheng has been captured alive by the enemy!"

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang was relatively calm when he heard the casualties. After all, the enemy raided and Xu Da set up a line of defense, which has reduced a large number of casualties. The death of the main general means that there are fewer generals who charge into the battle. Although these people are not considered to be the fierce generals who charge into the battle, they are the mainstay. Zhu Yuanzhang said with embarrassment: "Why are there such casualties!"

Among the seven generals, even Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little heartbroken.

"My lord! These seven people died in the hands of Ran Min when they captured the city. Even the serious injuries of the two generals Lu Bu and Ying Bu were related to him. There are very few opponents like this in the army." Xu Da did not expect that either. I thought I could win more with less this time, but I was still careless.

"En!" Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, and said half aloud: "Tiande, Wu Qi's army strength has been equal to ours. Originally, he fought with us in the field, and we had an army of 20 before we gained the upper hand. Now he With the strength of the troops already like this, it is meaningless for me to continue fighting.”

"What's your majesty's intention! Could it be that you plan to retreat!" Xu Da had an answer in his heart after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, but if he chooses to retreat now, he might be ridiculed by the kings of the world.

"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't shy away, and stood with his hands behind his back: "We are located in the south, so there is no need to participate in the war between the Central Plains and the North. Besides, even if we take down Wancheng and drive straight in, the only ones who will benefit are those in the north." It’s nothing more than a big country, I have more important things to do…”

"The last general doesn't think so! If Han Yi is not defeated in this battle, I'm afraid that in the future, we can only rely on natural dangers to maintain the status quo!" Xu Da said with an embarrassed expression, pressing the sword in his arms.

"That's right! I do have this plan. With my current strength, I am no match for Han Yi at all. Annexation of the world is a matter of time. I plan to rectify the south next, and the most powerful opponent in the south is Xiang Yu, a fierce tiger. And we have already turned against the Yue State, so we must prevent the Yue State from sneaking behind us!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with an embarrassed face.

"Your Majesty's worry is not unreasonable, but what should we do!" Xu Da stroked his beard, thinking secretly, and added three or four plans in a row, but most of them were just ideas without a clear direction.

"The battle line I'm waiting for is too long now! There are few soldiers! The land is vast! The people are poor, and the most important thing is the widows! I'm going to go back to Yanling first, recruit talents, and guard the fortresses! First stabilize the situation and win the hearts of the people Take it slowly!" Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard, his face was a little worried, the prospect of Wu State is not very good, originally let Zhu Di build the country, leave the seven generals to him, and let him guard the country, but some time ago, the war was imminent, Having to dispatch troops and dispatch generals made Zhu Yuanzhang deeply feel that he has few soldiers and a large area of ​​land, but he does not have enough strength. For the current plan, he should accumulate food widely!Build a wall high!Huo Tuba!
"Your Majesty is wise, the last general will order the withdrawal of the troops!" Xu Da clasped his fists as soon as he heard this.

"Don't worry! You must not leave this battle! Otherwise, Wu Qi will become suspicious. I will send Wu Tianci in this battle! Wu Yunzhao! Wu Jianzhang and his son will stay under your command, and Wen Zhong and I will also stay. This little guy is a malleable Talent, I hope General Xu Da will cultivate him a lot!" Zhu Yuanzhang patted Xu Da on the shoulder, with high hopes in his eyes.

"Your Majesty! If all these people are left behind, the Majesty will lose his confidants! I can't wait for someone to protect the Majesty's safety!" Xu Da said with an embarrassed expression.

"Don't worry, if you win Ji Bu's promise, you will win a thousand pieces of gold. Tian Bu is safe and secure, which is good for the king's control, Lu Bu! Ying Bu is seriously injured, and there will be no big waves. You will be loyal and keep you here, so I can rest assured. Come on!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a slight smile, how could he not know about Lu Bu's ambitions, this guy has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, but unfortunately this guy was suppressed by himself and did not dare to mess around, if Zhu Yuanzhang is the first one in a hundred years, It was Lu Bu who got rid of it.

"Since that's the case, be careful, Your Majesty, I don't know how many people your Majesty is going to take away this time!" Xu Da said with a puzzled expression.

"How many troops do you need to defend the land and not be invaded by Wu Qi!" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xu Da back. In his opinion, he didn't want to lose any of them. After all, they were fought hard by himself.

"Dengcheng! Tangcheng needs to face Wu Qi head-on. Your Majesty only needs to give me 10 horses!"

"Everyday is fine! Gu Dang hurry back, otherwise Gongsun Xiong will not be able to hide it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

"Your Majesty does not talk too much, Gongsun Xiong is not the talent of a general, the Majesty uses it to be a general, not a handsome man! If something changes, the Majesty can use Jibu to determine the situation in the south!" Xu Da's face is serious, Gongsun Xiong is talented, but He is not a great talent, if Zhu Yuanzhang asks Ji Bu to strictly guard him and not leave the city, as long as Ji Bu agrees, even if his mother dies, he will not leave the city!

"No need! Go back to the country and see if there are any talents that can be used. Unless it is a last resort, Gu will not use it! Everything here is entrusted to you, so let's go!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile on his face.

"The last general has orders!" After Xu Da finished speaking, he came out of the big tent and patted the dust off his body!Looking at the sky full of stars, stroking his long beard, he said worriedly: "I hope everything will be safe and sound!"
