Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 29 Victory

"Pass on my military order! Those who capture Xu Rong and Lu Bu alive will be promoted three ranks in a row and rewarded with a hundred taels." Li Song gave the order, turned around to the drummer, grabbed the drum hammer from the drummer's hand, and said, "I beat the drum myself. The army cheers."

The Xiliang army has stabilized its position due to the arrival of reinforcements, and even has a tendency to counterattack.

Zhang Liao's troops on the left wing, Zhang Liao's soldiers are reporting to Zhang Liao, "General! The prefect of Hanoi, Lord Yang Chou, is asking to see him outside the tent."

"Let him in!" Zhang Liao said to the soldiers, who turned around and left the tent, leading Yang Chou into the tent to meet Zhang Liao.

"Yang Chou has seen General Zhang!" Yang Chou said to Zhang Liao, who had his back turned to him, after entering the account.

"Why are you here? What are you here for?" Zhang Liao turned around and asked Yang Chou.

"General! My lord ordered me to come to reinforce the left wing. Xu Rong has put the last of his troops on the line. My lord has an order! Capture Xu Rong and Lu Bu alive." Yang Chou said.

"Moreover, both the right wing and the front line have made achievements, but the left wing has not moved at all. Now, Pei Yuanqing is commanding troops to reinforce the right wing, and Li Yuanba is reinforcing the front line. It is only a matter of time before the front line and the right wing are broken."

"As for the left wing, there is still no movement so far. By then, all the credit will fall into their hands, and they will be even more highly regarded by the lord. However, you, General, have not done anything. I am afraid..." Yang Chou He didn't continue talking, he believed that Zhang Liao knew what he meant.

Zhang Liao naturally understood what Yang Chou meant. Those who are generals don't want to make contributions, and those who are subordinates don't want to be appreciated by the monarch.

"Tell me, what should we do?" Zhang Liao thought for a while and asked Yang Chou for his opinion.

"General! Asking me is the right person. I have a plan. Maybe I can help the general win the first prize. Please listen to the general." Yang Chou laughed.

Zhang Liao went over to him, Yang Chou whispered in Zhang Liao's ear, Zhang Liao raised his hand and said, "Okay, I will act according to your plan, and when I win this battle, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of my lord."

"Oh! Yang Chou first thank you general!" Yang Chou laughed.

Gao Shun on the right wing and Xiang Yu from the front line were joined by reinforcements, opened the gap again, fought more and more courageously, and went straight to Xu Rong's main formation. Array.

"Report! General! The enemy broke through the soldiers and horses on the right wing, and the right wing couldn't hold back. The enemy army rushed from the right wing to the main formation. Please, general, make a decision early."

"Report! General! The front line of our army was dispersed by the enemy, and the enemy is rushing from the front line to the main line. Please, general, make plans early."

"Report! General! The left wing of our army was defeated by the enemy. The enemy is not far from our army now. Please make a decision."

"What? You said the left wing has been defeated?" Xu Rong stepped forward in disbelief, picked up the messenger, and shouted.

The orderly shivered in fright, and stammered, "Yes, yes, the left and left wings were, were, and were defeated."

Xu Rong threw down the messengers, he really didn't expect the left wing to be defeated so quickly, the enemy general of the left wing is really tricky!In anger, Xu Rong kicked over the table next to him.

"Report! General! Lord Wen, please see me!" The soldiers guarding outside the tent came in to report.

"Feng Xian is here!" Xu Rong went directly outside the tent and saw Lu Bu stepping up to Lu Bu and cupped his hands.

"I heard that the enemy army is about to arrive. Now that our army has been defeated, please retreat as soon as possible!" Lu Bu said.

"Hey! Just retreat like this, why go back and explain to the Grand Master!" Xu Rong said a little unwillingly.

"What time is it now? If I don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late. I will explain to my adoptive father." Lu Bu said anxiously. If he was not injured and needed Xu Rong's escort, how could he? Talking to Xu Rong here, I left Xu Rong and the others early in the morning and ran away by myself.

"Forget it! Now that the general situation is over, let's follow Feng Xian's words!" Xu Rong said to Lu Bu, then turned to the lieutenant general and said, "I will give you an order to retreat, and I will burn all the supplies that cannot be taken away. Not a penny shall be left to the enemy."

"It's the general!" The deputy general took the order and left, conveying Xu Rong's general order to go.

"Quick! Set fire to all the military supplies, you guys go over there, you guys go over here, you guys go..." The deputy general led a team of soldiers and horses to set fire and directed them to carry out the operation.

"General, I have set fire to all the supplies as you ordered." The deputy general who quickly finished setting the fire came to report to Xu Rong.

Xu Rong looked at the place where the fire broke out in the camp, feeling a little bitter in his heart, and finally said helplessly: "Let's retreat!" He turned around and mounted his horse, and Lu Bu retreated towards Luoyang with the few soldiers left in the formation.

The frontline soldiers saw the fire in the rear, and after hearing the news that the general had left them to retreat, the speed of retreat accelerated, and some people directly put down their weapons and surrendered.

The battle ended soon, Li Song's feet stepped on the ground of the enemy's main formation, the burning fire was extinguished, and many places were reduced to ashes under the fire.

"My lord! The enemy generals Xu Rong and Lu Bu escaped, and the camp here was set on fire when they fled. Only a few tents were rescued."

"General Xiang Yu has led people to chase after him!" Pei Yuanqing came to Li Song and said.

"Forget it! Since they have escaped, you should send someone to chase Xiang Yu back quickly, and tell him that the poor should not chase after him!" Li Song turned to Pei Yuanqing.

"No!" Pei Yuanqing took the order, turned around and ordered the soldiers following behind to chase Xiang Yu back.

"How about the casualties of our army?" Li Song asked Pei Yuanqing who had arranged to chase Xiang Yu as he walked.

"Back to the lord! Our army suffered more than half of the casualties this time, which is more tragic than ever, but this time, our army captured more than [-] Xiliang troops and [-] horses." Pei Yuanqing followed Li Song.

"Okay! Wounded soldiers should be properly arranged, and those who died in battle will be buried generously. A pension will be given to the family members of the deceased in battle," Li Song said.

"Yes! This subordinate knows how to do it!" Pei Yuanqing responded.

Li Song walked to a tent and asked Pei Yuanqing, "What is this tent for?"

"This, I don't know, my subordinates are busy fighting the fire, and I haven't had time to check it yet." Pei Yuanqing looked at the tent in front of him and said.

"You wait here! I'll go in and have a look myself." Li Song said and entered the tent, guarded by his own soldiers.

Li Song came in and saw that it was empty inside. He was overjoyed and worried about how to get the food and grass rewarded by the system out of the package without being suspected. After all, it was too shocking to make food and grass out of thin air, so it was easy to become the target of public criticism.

After all, if anyone controls Li Song at that time, he will have inexhaustible food and grass, so he will be invincible. Who would not want to master the ability to create food and grass out of thin air.

Li Song waved his hand, a ray of light flashed, and the grain and grass stored in the package appeared in this empty camp. Li Song looked helplessly at the remaining [-] stones of grain and grass in the package. Forty thousand stones of grain and grass.
