Chapter 275 After the War
"So, there are no supplies at all?" Zhang He was a little confused as they came all the way.

But I didn't bring any supplies. A batch will be sent later, but it should still be on the way.

I originally wanted to try to get Liu Bei's side, but now it seems I don't think so.

"In this case, Puyang has no choice but to return it to Chenliu! Let me tell you, it's better not to take Chenliu at all. It might be best to return it to Hulao Pass." Zhang He looked at Liu Bei.

He has been refused permission to conduct the expedition in person, and has refused to listen every time. This time it was good, he was so greedy for success that he almost lost his people.

It was really dangerous. If I hadn't been there at that time, they would have either died in the flames or suffered a lot of casualties during the breakout.

In the end, he reluctantly ran back to Puyang, only to find that his home had been stolen. With luck, he could return to Chenliu smoothly, or even return to Hulao Pass.

If you are unlucky, your entire army may have been wiped out in Puyang.

The consequences of losing several important civil and military officials in one go, including the death of Liu Bei, were too bad.

It was not without sacrifice. Jian Yong was hit by two arrows in the chaos and could not hold on until he passed...

Although Jian Yong already had a son, he was still young after all.

Going back this time, I don’t know how Liu Bei will face Jian Yong’s widow.

Looking around, there is basically no one without injuries. Even Jushou, a civil servant, has several marks on his body.

"Return directly to Hulao Pass..." Liu Bei was a little depressed. He knew that returning to Hulao Pass was the best choice, but he was unwilling to do so.

"I'm just kidding. With the current weather, as long as we can return to Chenliu County smoothly, we probably won't be afraid." Zhang He replied.

There are still two or three days of winter, and the weather will gradually get colder.

Even Cao Cao couldn't kill him in winter, and the soldiers below couldn't stand it.

Post-war reconstruction and defense redeployment are basically the same.

Xu Chu?Liu Bei was so angry that he ordered Xu Chu to be beheaded regardless of how powerful he was.

"You really don't want to surrender?" Zhang He looked at Xu Chu.

"There are no two loyal masters!" Xu Chu was also stubborn and refused to change his words.

It should be said that before the age of 30, you are very passionate and can sacrifice yourself for your ideals.

After the age of 60 or [-], basically in order to keep a good reputation, you will most likely choose to die calmly.

Those who are easiest to surrender are those between thirty and forty years old.

The mainstream is like this, but in all dynasties, there is no shortage of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there is no shortage of people who give up life and forget death.

"I wonder if you are stupid or really stupid?" Zhang He shook his head and personally chopped off Xu Chu's head.

This guy is so stupid, especially Liu Bei is in a bad mood.

Not to mention, it was precisely because Xu Chu and Yu Jin attacked Puyang that Liu Bei had to abandon Dongjun and was in an even worse mood.

It's easy to say that Xu Chu is willing to surrender, but this guy is stubborn, and he will only be stubborn to death.

As for whether Liu Bei will regret it later, who cares!
"Originally, this tiger idiot has some courage. He wanted to be a commander of personal guards for his eldest brother or something." Zhang He shook his head.

"This..." Liu Bei was a little confused when he heard the words, but seeing that Xu Chu had been beheaded, he couldn't say anything.

"Since the eldest brother doesn't want a personal guard commander, then he needs a military advisor." Zhang He pulled Jia Xu over, "The eldest brother knows Wen He, and his talents are no less than those of Cao Cao's two masterminds. It would be a waste to leave them here. Yes, I recommend it to my eldest brother."

"No need..." Liu Bei looked at Jia Xu, then at Zhang He, "I should have listened to you, and I shouldn't have conquered it myself."

When Ju Shou was in Puyang, he gave him a clear hint not to continue the fight, but he was angry and continued the fight.

Unexpectedly, Jian Yong was almost doomed because of this, and Jian Yong died.

Thousands of people and a lot of supplies were lost. To say that I wasn't heartbroken would be a lie.

Liu Bei was somewhat disheartened, and besides his identity, it seemed meaningless to enlist him personally.

"I don't believe it when my eldest brother says he won't fight in person." Zhang He said with a smile.

This has happened a few times, believe me!

If something happens in the future, his stubborn temper will rise, and he might go on another expedition.

"I swear, okay?" Liu Bei said angrily, "I Liu Bei..." "Yes, yes, believe it, I believe it, I believe it, okay?" Zhang He quickly stopped him.

I really made Liu Bei swear, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to hold it back in the future and would be struck by lightning. There was nothing wrong with giving birth to a son, but it would be a sin.

Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came over and tried to persuade Liu Bei to swear.

But in this way, the three of them understood that Liu Bei was serious this time.

As for how long it will last, there is no guarantee.

"Wen He, I originally planned to recommend you to my eldest brother..." Zhang He looked at Jia Xu.

If Jia Xu can be reused, his achievements will definitely be higher than those under his own command. If there are three ministers and nine ministers in the future, he may not be able to become a Taiwei.

"It doesn't matter, it's good to be with the envoy." Jia Xu replied, mainly because Liu Bei's character was in conflict with his own.

Following him, disobeying him at critical moments, and even taking risks with him, just a few lives are not enough.

"But it's here..." Zhang He thought for a while, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"If His Highness is not planning to give up on Puyang... he is!" Jia Xu replied.

Within two days, the army returned to Chenliu, Liu Bei himself returned to Chang'an, and Xu Huang and Zhao Yun also followed Zhang He back to Bingzhou.

However, Zhang Fei stayed, and Le Jin also served as deputy general to guard Chenliu.

Seeing Liu Bei leaving, Cao Jun tried to send troops to station in Puyang, but was repulsed by Guan Yu who came out of the tunnel and led his army.

The army returned to Juancheng and passed by the village, but was attacked by Zhang He who was ambushing here.

Cao General Xia Houjie did not die in front of Dangyang Bridge, but he was killed by Zhang He's Plum Blossom Spear, and more than a thousand of his men were killed.

This is Jia Xu's strategy. Doesn't Puyang have a tunnel?
Let Guan Yu hide inside, use his war horses as bait, and then attack Cao Jun who came over.

Zhang He returned to the village earlier, using the tunnels there to hide and cut off Cao Jun's retreat.

Cao Jun defeated Liu Bei using authentic tactics, but also lost one general and thousands of soldiers because of the authentic tactics...

Seeing that winter was approaching, there was really no way to continue fighting. A feeling of resentment filled his chest, but Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia managed to stop him.

"Hmph, only 1000 people..." Liu Bei received the news. Although his tone was disdainful, it was rare that he felt relieved.

He also knew that Jia Xu was powerful, but at that time Ju Shou felt that this was very risky and that a bad person would get along with Guan Yu and Zhang He, so he did not agree.

It's not surprising why Zhang He recommended Jia Xu to himself.

However, under the current situation, it may be more necessary to appoint Jia Xu as Guan Yu or Zhang Fei's military advisor.

After thinking for a while, he finally wrote a transfer order to transfer Jia Xu to the front line and serve under Guan Yu.

In the subsequent operations, Zhang Fei and Le Jin were in charge of Yuzhou, and Guan Yu and Zhang He were in charge of Yanzhou.

Really, Zhang Fei also needs a counselor.

After asking Jushou, the latter recommended Fazheng, who would become an official in the imperial examination this year.

"Haha, Wen He, you still have to go to the front line... But the second brother is more willing to listen to advice than the eldest brother." Zhang He received the transfer and looked at Jia Xu with a smile.

"I'm an old bone, running around here and there, just tossing." Jia Xu sighed.

"It's okay. I'll make you a medicine to strengthen your muscles and bones, so that you can stay in the Night Palace without falling!" Zhang He said with a smile.

Facing Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia's advice, Guan Yu really needed a counselor.

"The medicine can be avoided, but it is three-point poisonous." Jia Xu shook his head, how could such an easy-to-use medicine have no side effects, "I hope that the envoy can directly transfer Xu Yuan to help."

"That's right!" Zhang He immediately agreed and sent Xu Shu over to earn some military exploits.

 Well, Liu Bei will no longer conduct military campaigns in the future... That's strange. It can only be said that he probably won't conduct military campaigns in person in the short term.

  I originally spent half an hour making a schematic diagram of the battle situation, but it got stuck and failed to be saved, so I simply forgot about it.
