Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 394 Xu Huang Sends Troops
An Fengjin, Xiliang Army Camp.

Luo Zheng was busy in the world, and he immediately called the generals to discuss the matter before he took off his clothes.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, more than [-] generals above the school lieutenant have already arrived.

Luo Zheng's eyes were burning, and he said in a deep voice: "Where is Yan Xing, have you ever discovered Sun Ce's army?"

Fazheng said: "General Yan Xing has defeated five groups of Jiangdong troops. According to the news from our army's scouts, the news of An Fengjin's fall has reached the Jiangdong Army, and no less than ten groups of troops have already gone to Shouchun. .”

Luo Zhengdao: "Where is Sun Ce, didn't you catch it?"

Jia Xu said: "Sun Ce has already crossed the Huai River and returned to Shouchun under the support of the Jiangdong Navy."

Luo Zheng didn't frown, "Sun Ce's children run very fast!"

Jia Xu said: "My lord, now that Sun Ce is retreating and An Fengjin is in the hands of our army, Jiangdong's army is no longer able to cross the Huai River and enter the Central Plains in a short period of time. I think it is time for our army to repel Liu Bei. Central Plains."

Luo Zhengdao: "Cao A concealed the new defeat, took advantage of the situation and marched into Xuzhou, how about completely destroying Cao Cao?"

"My lord, don't act too hastily!"

Jia Xu persuaded: "Although the two prefectures of Yan and Yu are under attack today, Cao Cao's influence in the two prefectures of Yan and Yu is deeply entrenched. Our army must be stationed city by city in order to stabilize the situation. General Gao Shun has sent a letter saying that Yanzhou is a disaster Four times, the rebellion has continued, and the troops are being divided into four to suppress the rebellion; Yuzhou is similar, if tens of thousands of troops were not stationed in Xuchang, it would have been in chaos long ago. Therefore, Xu believes that it is not the time to march eastward to Xuzhou, and our army should repel Liu Bei as soon as possible. The top priority is to stabilize the situation in Yanyu and Yuzhou first."

Fazheng also said: "What the military adviser said is very true. If Yanyu and Yuzhou are unstable, our army will not be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. Moreover, the current situation in Luoyang is not optimistic. Only a large army can be guarded to deter Xiaoxiao."

Luo Zheng frowned, Cao Aman can be said to be his heart, and it is difficult for him to feel at ease if he is not dead.

But reason told him that Jia Xu and Fazheng's proposal was correct, and the stability of Yanyu and Yuzhou was the top priority.

Cao Cao's influence in Yanyu and Yuzhou is deeply entrenched, and it will take time to eliminate his influence.

Although there is a large army to suppress it, it is only a small-scale rebellion now.

But if the invasion of Xuzhou fails, it is estimated that all kinds of ghosts and snakes will jump out and take the opportunity to make trouble. At that time, let alone marching into Xuzhou to destroy Cao Aman, the rebels in the two states of Yanyu alone can make the Xiliang army burnt out.

If Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and others make a comeback again, it will be really difficult at home and abroad, and there will be a double sky of ice and fire.

Luo Zheng got up and walked under the tent for a while before asking again, "Has Xu Huang sent troops?"

Jia Xu said, "General Xu Huang has dispatched troops."

Luo Zheng thought for a while before saying: "If you want to retreat, how many soldiers and horses should An Fengjin leave to guard?"

Jia Xu thought for a while, then stroked his beard and said, "Anfengjin is a strategically important place for our army. If Anfengjin is lost, Yuzhou will be unstable. Sun Ce can march into the Central Plains at any time. Xu thought it would take at least [-] troops to guard it. Don't worry!"

Luo Zheng said 'hmm' before looking at Zhang Liao, the leader of the generals, "Wen Yuan, An Fengjin will be handed over to you."

Zhang Liao said calmly, "My lord, don't worry, the general will live up to his fate."

Luo Zheng made a 'hmm' sound, and said happily: "Wenyuan is guarding Anfengjin, so the general is naturally relieved!"

Fazheng said: "My lord, let General Zhang Liao do the job for chasing and suppressing the Jiangdong army. Our army needs to repel the Jingzhou army as soon as possible!"

Luo Zheng thought for a while before saying: "Forget it, let Yan Xing come back!"

"As ordered!"

The officer on duty replied, and immediately went down to arrange scout cavalry to look for Yan Xing's army.

Zigui Ximen.

At the end of the war, [-]% of the [-] Jingzhou soldiers were killed or injured, and most of them were captured.

Wearing iron armor, Xu Huang strode up to the top of the city under the guard of his own soldiers, and asked in a deep voice, "How about the casualties?"

The worthy officer replied: "Three hundred and five were killed in battle, 150 were seriously injured, and 670 were slightly injured and could no longer fight!"

Xu Huang frowned suddenly. The 600 army attacked a mere small city, and the casualties exceeded a thousand. Although there were only four hundred soldiers who were killed or seriously injured and would be dismissed, there were more than [-] soldiers who were slightly injured. The battlefield is over.

Although within the acceptable range, the casualties are still a bit high.

Xu Huang said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and let the army rest, and continue to march into Yiling tomorrow!"

"As ordered!"

The officer on duty obeyed and passed the order quickly.

Xiangyang, Chu Palace.

"My lord, it's not good!"

Kuai Yue hurried into the inner hall and bowed his hands to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Alien, what happened?"

Kuai Yue said solemnly: "I just received an urgent report from Yiling that Luo Zheng's general Xu Huang led an army of [-] out of the Wu Gorge and attacked Zigui with lightning speed. Within ten days, he drove hundreds of miles and killed him Yiling!"

"what?"

Liu Qi jumped up in shock and gasped, "Xu Huang sent troops?"

Kuai Yue nodded and said: "Exactly, since Luo Zheng pacified Xichuan, Xu Huang has been living in peace with Jingzhou. This time leading the army out of Wu Gorge can be said to be a disaster caused by Liu Bei's attack on Nanyang. If Liu Bei didn't run to provoke Luo Zheng, How could Xu Huang send troops?"

Liu Qi panicked: "What should I do, what should I do!"

Seeing Liu Qi panicked, Kuai Yue couldn't help but secretly sighed.

It is the greatest misfortune for a man like Kuai Yue who has real talents and knowledge to have such a lord at the booth.

Although Liu Biao is not a wise man, at least he can keep his family business.

Compared with Liu Biao, Liu Qi is much worse.

Just hearing that Xu Huang sent troops, he was already scared to death.

Jingzhou has such a lord, is there any hope?
Although the power falls to the side, Liu Qi basically has no control over the big and small matters in Jingzhou.

Kuai Yue sorted out his thoughts and said: "The soldiers and horses in Xiangyang are all in the hands of Guan Yu, please send someone to call Guan Yu into the palace to discuss the strategy of retreating the enemy! Then order Liu Bei to withdraw his troops back to Xiangyang as soon as possible, so as not to incur Luo Zheng's army. Come attack."

"Good, what the other degree said is true!"

Only then did Liu Qi regain his composure, nodded repeatedly, and ordered someone to invite Guan Yu.

After waiting for half an hour, until everyone had arrived, Guan Yu strode forward and entered the palace with his sword.

The palace guards did not dare to stop them, and all the Jingzhou gentry dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.

After Liu Bei led the army to go out, Guan Yu was in control of the remaining troops in Xiangyang. Without the support of the army, no one dared to talk nonsense.

"I have seen King Chu!"

After Guan Yu entered the palace, he casually bowed his hands to Liu Qi.

"General Guan Yu doesn't need to be polite!"

Liu Qi forced a smile, but didn't dare to say anything.

Although he felt that Guan Yu was a bit arrogant and rude, he dared not speak out.

Wang Wei next to him couldn't bear it any longer, and said displeasedly, "Why is General Guan Yu so rude? Has he forgotten the manners of a ruler and minister?"

"Ok?"

Guan Yu turned his head to look, and there was a flash of cold electricity in his long and narrow eyes.

Wang Wei only felt a chill in his heart, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Guan Yu again.

Guan Yu snorted heavily, glanced at Wang Wei with disdain, and looked away.

Kuai Yue and others were also very displeased, but they didn't say anything.
