Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 658 Lost streak
"General!" In the north of Xinye City, in Huang Zhong's big tent, a soldier of the personal guard walked in quickly and saluted Huang Zhong.

"What's the matter?" Huang Zhong opened his eyes, and the power released in an instant made the soldier almost kneel down. After practicing Qi training method, his strength became more and more profound by virtue of his extremely strong spiritual cultivation. They all seem to have great power. After the battle with Guan Yu today, Huang Zhongyin realized that he might be able to reach the level of Marquis Wen soon.

"Return to the general, the scouts arranged by our army in the south of the city just came to report. A small group of people left the city and headed straight for the Han River." The soldier bowed.

"Hanshui?" Huang Zhong frowned and said, "I know, and I will send another scout to monitor the Hanshui area, but if there is any trouble, report it immediately!"

"Here!" The soldier agreed and bowed to leave.

Huang Zhong continued to practice with his eyes closed.

The next day, Huang Zhong continued to lead the army, just like yesterday, and stormed the enemy's defense city green energy, but soon, Huang Zhong realized that something was wrong.

There is a Confucian with good cultivation in this city. Huang Zhong knows this. The other party gathers the green energy of the city protection extremely fast. Although he can't keep up with his consumption, he can still do it through today. But there is only consumption and no replenishment. At this time, Huang Zhong doesn't think that the other party has not responded.

The only explanation is that the Confucians in the city left.

"Is it true that there were no soldiers and horses leaving the city last night?" Huang Zhong asked the general in charge of the scouts and asked in a deep voice.

"Returning to the general, apart from a few scattered troops leaving the city, our army lost a scout horse, but there is no sign of a large army leaving the city!" The general replied with certainty.

Without the green spirit of protecting the city, with the current Guan Yu, it is impossible to defend this small city.

Huang Zhong faintly had a bad premonition, and immediately ordered people to step up the attack on the city, and the green energy of the city defense was no longer replenished. Under Huang Zhong's fierce attack, it took only half a day for the green energy of the city protection to be crushed by Huang Zhong.

The army's attack on the city was not hindered too much, and even the defenders in the city were broken through the city gate without much resistance, and the defenders surrendered one after another.

"What happened? Where is Guan Yu!?" Huang Zhong summoned several surrendered generals and asked with a frown.

"Back to General, General Guan and the others left last night. Before leaving, General Guan said that Chu... Prime Minister... is a man of benevolence and righteousness, and he will not make things difficult for us!" A general saluted Huang Zhong silently.

Last night, Guan Yu and Shi Tao had a disagreement on how to go. Shi Tao meant that since he couldn't take it away, he couldn't leave it to the enemy. , take advantage of the chaos to get away.

But it was rejected by Guan Yu.

He has fought all the way from the bottom to where he is today, and even the bottom-level soldiers have had a hard time. He really can't do this for his own life and ignore the lives of the soldiers, so he only waits for a few core generals and more than a dozen personal guards to leave the city and leave behind. These soldiers, let them surrender after the city is broken, without unnecessary resistance.

Guan Yu, who had fought against Huang Zhong once, knew very well that letting these soldiers who had lost their commander fight Huang Zhong was just costing their lives in vain. Guan Yu couldn't do it. Although Shi Tao felt that this matter was too benevolent, it was Guan Yu who kept his word here, and in the end he could only act according to Guan Yu's words.

"General, how do we deal with these surrendered troops?" the lieutenant general asked.

"What else can I do?" Huang Zhong looked at the city: "Confiscate the weapons and move out of the city. Remember, you must be careful, but those who have evil intentions and instigate riots will be killed without mercy!"

Accepting a surrender is like accepting an enemy. Although Chu Nan does not kill surrender or massacre the city, it also has a set of methods to deal with the capture of the people in the city or the rebellion of the soldiers. The first thing to do when you invade an enemy city is to be vigilant. Trouble, no matter what the cause, is to be suppressed immediately. It is difficult to do everything in wartime. What can be done is not to let the chaos expand, and everything is headed by one's own safety.

"Here!" The general agreed, and took people to be responsible for collecting the weapons and surrendering the soldiers. Huang Zhong then ordered people to inform Chu Nan of the matter here, and let Guan Yu go. .

Chu Nan naturally wouldn't blame him, but Huang Zhong still felt a little awkward.

Xinye was breached, and Deng county was also captured by Zhang Yun. Although it was also an important town north of the Han River, Liu Bei also set up a lot of troops here. Unfortunately, there was no such strong general as Guan Yu. After failing to defend for even a day, Zhang Yun broke through.

Not to mention Zhang Liao's entry into Jiangxia, Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, was beaten by Zhang Liao and dared not leave the city.

Liu Bei had just taken over Jingzhou, and what he was facing was losing all three battles. Not only was Xinye, the gateway, taken over, but the entire Jiangxia County was almost wiped out.

In the city of Xiangyang, Cai Mao looked at Guan Yu who had returned, and frowned: "General Guan is known as the bravest man in the world, but Lu Bu in the south of Chu didn't make a move. Huang Zhong beat the general and fled in embarrassment. He didn't even dare to lead the army. , although I have many soldiers in Jingzhou, if they all lead troops like General Guan, I am afraid that no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it will not be enough!"

As soon as Liu Bei took office, the general power was gathered in the hands of Guan Yu and his generals, which made Cai Mao very dissatisfied. He was the general of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei took the military power as soon as he came up.

Guan Yu didn't refute, and bowed to Liu Bei, "Brother Xiong, please forgive me!"

"My lord, this matter is not the fault of General Guan!" Shi Tao hurriedly stepped forward to excuse Guan Yu: "It is not that General Guan is disadvantaged in combat, but it is because the bandit army is too strong. Huang Zhong is not only extremely skilled in martial arts, but also the generals in the army are far away. Super our army, General Xiahoubo led people to capture a scout from the other side, but was killed by the other side and fled. The ordinary soldiers of the enemy army are like this. If we really stick to Xinye, it may be delayed for two days, but we wait Then we can only live and die with Xinye."

If you really keep to the end, I'm afraid you won't even be able to escape!

If it's not because they don't want to fight, the gap is too wide.

"General Guan bravely conquers the world, but he only knows how to abandon his soldiers and flee when he encounters the enemy. I think any general in Jingzhou can fight such a battle. Why must General Guan lead the army?" Cai Mao sneered: "Let's see Come……"

"Report~" Just as Cai Mao was about to say something more, a soldier rushed to report: "My lord, General Zhang Yun defeated Jiangxia, and he is waiting outside the gate now."

"Quick pass!" Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"Here!"

After a while, Zhang Yun, who was wet all over, stepped in quickly, and saluted Liu Bei: "The last general is incompetent, and the army has suffered a disastrous defeat. Please forgive me, my lord!"

Cai Mao's words were suppressed, which seemed to be even worse.

"Get up, general, how could this happen?" Liu Bei hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand to support Zhang Yun, and said with concern.

"My lord, that Zhang Liao is too ferocious. The last general was ordered to support Jiang Xia. When he was crossing the river, he was attacked by Zhang Liao. Our army was not well-prepared and was defeated by that Zhang Liao. If the soldiers did not protect each other with all their lives, Retreating to the edge of the Han River, the general wanted to repay the lord's favor, but was thrown into the water by Zhang Liao's saber!" Zhang Yun said bitterly.

Liu Bei nodded, said a few words of comfort, and did not question him. In fact, some of the people present had met Zhang Liao face to face. As far as Zhang Yun's ability is concerned, it is not to underestimate him. It is basically impossible to come back alive and kicking like now after taking Zhang Liao's knife hard, no, it is impossible to come back.

However, as the No. [-] figure in the Jingzhou navy, Cai Mao's right-hand man, Liu Bei is not easy to hold accountable at this time.

"The enemy is at hand, and we should all work together." After a few soothing words, Liu Bei sat back in his seat and said, "General Zhang, go and change your clothes to avoid the wind and cold."

"Thank you, my lord." Zhang Yun agreed, heaved a sigh of relief, and bowed to leave.

This is definitely not a good sign, and this is why Liu Bei is willing to calm things down, not only to protect Guan Yu, but also to protect internal unity.

Cai Hao also knew how to advance and retreat, Liu Bei didn't make things difficult for Zhang Yun, it would be a little ugly if he continued to make things difficult for Guan Yu, so he shut up right now.

"Yun Chang, is Huang Zhong really that powerful?" Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and asked.

"Although this man is old, he is superb in martial arts and has boundless strength. In the end, he will only be able to compete with this man." Guan Yu nodded. He didn't want to say these things, after all, it is not something glorious , but the information is very important to Liu Bei at the moment, and he dare not hide it, so he immediately sent troops to meet Huang Zhong, and the situation when the two sides fought to defend Xinye one by one, without deliberately exaggerating or understating.

Everyone was silent when they heard the words. Whether they liked Guan Yu or hated him, they had no doubts about the truth of the words. This is a very proud person. If Huang Zhong defeated him with tricks and tricks, Guan Yu would never be like this Admiring Huang Zhong, let alone bluntly speaking of failure.

Guan Yu is a general who can only fight with God if he asks God, and Lu Bu is no more than that, right?

In the past, I only heard that Huang Zhong was a veteran in shooting, but I didn't expect this person to be so brave!

In the Jingzhou army, there are actually Huang Zhong's acquaintances. Liu Pan learned from Huang Zhong. He knew Huang Zhong was powerful, but he didn't expect to be so powerful.

What shocked everyone even more was the strength of the opponent's ordinary soldiers. Xia Houbo took 30 people to capture them, but he was barely defeated. If another one came, he could only run away. Fuck it!
"My lord." Meng Jian mused, "Now that Xinye and Deng counties are broken, I'm afraid Chunan will have to cross the water to attack Xiangfan. I think that a general can be sent to guard this place, and my lord will retreat to Jiangling to preside over it first." The overall situation, otherwise, once Xiangyang is broken and the lord makes a slight mistake, it will be difficult for Jingzhou to resist the attack of Chu Nan's army!"

As far as the strength shown by the soldiers and horses from all walks of life in southern Chu in this battle, even if Xiangyang is a strong city, there is still Fancheng guarding it, and everyone has little confidence in whether it can be defended.

"That's right. This time we captured a scout from the opponent. According to what the opponent said, it seems that a new secret method was passed on in the army, which greatly increased the enemy's strength. If we can know this method and prepare for it, maybe there will be a long way to go." The power of battle!" Shi Tao nodded.

Liu Bei nodded: "Who can guard Xiangfan?"

"The general wishes to stay!" Guan Yu said in a deep voice.

"General Guan lost for a while, does he want to lose again?" Cai Mao couldn't help retorting.

Kuai Liang sighed and said: "General Guan is currently the only one who fought against the enemy and retreated completely. He knows the strength of the enemy. The general concerned is stationed here, and another general will be sent to assist him. Maybe he can borrow Xiangfan Jiancheng , Block the enemy!"

"Who is willing to stay?" Seeing that Cai Mao stopped talking, Liu Bei asked the others.

"If Duke Xuande doesn't give up, the general is willing to help General Guan!" Under the tent, Le Jin took a step forward and said with cupped fists.

Le Jin and others joined Liu Bei under Xu You's recommendation. This is also the reason why Liu Bei was able to quickly consolidate his power. These talents are all his own, and they are capable enough to hold down the Cai family and the Kuai family for the time being.

"With Yun Chang and Wen Qian stationed in Xiangfan, I can rest assured!" Liu Bei looked at Le Jin and smiled, "It's just that Yun Chang and Wen Qian should not be careless, they just need to guard Xiangfan!"

It is impossible to counterattack, but as long as Xiangfan is defended, Jingzhou will not be lost.

"The last general takes orders!"
