Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 473

"Han Sheng!"

"exist!"

"Now the army should have almost prepared the food, let the army rush over first, and then set up camp here!" Liu Qi ordered.

Now that it has been confirmed that Dongjun has fallen, there is no need to continue marching rapidly.

And we also need to inquire about the current situation in Dongjun, so that we can take back Dongjun well. If you don't understand the enemy's situation, it is a big taboo to go deep.

"promise!"

Huang Zhong didn't object, so he got on his horse again, and the horse went back in the direction it came from.

Liu Qi and his party also noticed that although the soldiers here were exhausted, none of the soldiers took out dry food to eat.

And from the look on his face, it can be seen that he hasn't eaten for a while.

They also understand why.

The change is too fast, it is not easy to break out, there is still time to go to what to eat, if it is not for their arrival, at most they will take a rest, recover their strength, and then continue to retreat to Xuchang, because in Xuchang, only With food.

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang He cupped his hands.

The eyes of more than a dozen generals also showed joy. After all, they hadn't eaten since last night, and they had experienced a lot of fighting. If there was no hope, they might not be able to persist.

Liu Qi didn't pay too much attention, and said, "It's still a while before the army arrives, so let's talk about the situation in Dongjun first!"

"promise!"

Zhang He didn't object, and even if Liu Qi didn't mention it, he still needed to make a report.

immediately.

A group of people also walked to the lawn on the side and sat anywhere.

"My lord, according to the way the Qi army attacked before, our army can at least hold out for a long time, unless the king of Qi recklessly launches a strong attack, otherwise relying on the city wall, our army is not weaker than the Qi army, but there is a gap in strength! "

"Yesterday, Guan Yu led [-] soldiers and horses, appeared behind our army, and formed a situation of encirclement on all sides with the other three armies. However, our army is in the city and has a strong city wall. It also takes a certain amount of time, but because the subordinates are not aware of it for a while, the enemy army took advantage of it!"

"Han Fu, who stayed in Dongjun, led his generals, opened the city gate, and put the Qi army into the city, causing our army to be defeated. Facing the swarming Qi army, in the end, we had no choice but to break through and leave. !"

Zhang He stood up and explained everything simply and truthfully.

Originally, even if Guan Yu led the army to come, as long as he was not attacked into the city, he would not be defeated overnight, and if the soldiers did not hesitate to die, it would be difficult for the Qi army to attack the city by force to capture the city, so it is possible to wait until the reinforcements arrive.

And if there is an opportunity, it is not impossible to fight back.

Although this is just his guess and estimate, if Han Fu hadn't opened the city gate, at least he wouldn't have lost so fast, so quickly, and so inexplicably.

heard.

Liu Qi and others also understood that the reason why Dongjun fell so quickly was not just because Guan Yu led the troops to attack from the rear.

There is also the reason why Han Fu opened the city gate and let the Qi army enter the city.

Originally, there was no advantage in military strength, and the Qi army's attack could be stopped only by relying on the strong city wall, but once the city gate was opened, and Guan Yu led the army to attack from the rear, the defeat was already set.

Han Fu Han Wenjie, the former Jizhou herdsman, did not listen to the advice of loyal people under his command and led wolves into the house. Jizhou was taken away by Yuan Shao, and he was emptied of power, so he came to Yanzhou and joined Zhang Miao.

Before Zhang Miao and Zhang Baiqi jointly attacked Nanyang.

Because Yuan Shao sent people to lobby, he once again switched to Yuan Shao's command.

In the end, when Liu Qi occupied Dongjun, he handed over his belongings wisely, saved his life, and stayed in Dongjun to live in peace and take up a casual job.

But I didn't expect it to become a scourge.

Liu Qi touched his chin and said, "How about the casualties of the soldiers?"

He didn't continue to worry about how the East County fell. After all, the matter was settled, and it would have no effect if he continued to entangle. The only thing he could do was to regain the East County.

As for Han Fu, under Liu Bei's command, he is the second person listed as must-kill.

In the past, for the sake of being so knowledgeable, Han Fu was allowed to save his life and provide a restful job for the elderly, but he still came out to do things. If he could live with it, he had to come out to die.

Then you can't blame him.

The voice fell.

"Returning to my lord, there are less than [-] soldiers gathered now, and when they broke out, Guan Yu and Xu Huang led an army and chased and killed our army overnight. Many soldiers also fled on the way. It is impossible to make specific statistics, but it is estimated that half of the soldiers were lost!" Zhang He replied.

He also had a rough estimate.

There were also fierce fights in the city, and in the end they were unable to resist, so they led the soldiers to break out. In addition to the losses along the way, and finally the soldiers who got lost on the road, only half of the soldiers could be gathered together , or less than half.

heard.

Liu Qi also frowned. In this way, the fall of Dongjun also caused a lot of losses to the army, and because Dongjun was emptied of all food and supplies before.

After taking the land of Jizhou.

The grain and grass supplies that came over, except those distributed to the common people, were all stored in Dongjun to prevent accidents.

Now it has also become Liu Bei's.

"Feng Xiao!"

"exist!"

"Send people to rush to Jizhou quickly, let Meng Qi garrison and lead his troops to garrison Yecheng first, and don't have to continue to Nanpi; let Wen Chang continue to resist the Qi army in Nanpi, and at the same time pay close attention to the movements of the Qi army in Dongjun. If there is nothing to do, give up Nanpi, retreat to the plains, and make plans!" Liu Qi ordered.

Dongjun was lost, but Yecheng could not continue to be captured, and he also needed to take back Dongjun first.

"No!" Guo Jia replied.

"So, let's find out the current situation in Dongjun first, and then make plans!" Liu Qi continued.

"promise!"

Everyone has no objection to this.

at this time.

Huang Zhong, who went to lead the army, also led the army.

See here.

Liu Qi didn't continue to discuss with everyone, but took everyone to prepare a meal. After all, he marched all night, and he didn't eat anything.

And the soldiers also need to eat something to replenish their physical strength.

Even if you want to take back Dongjun, you have to make the soldiers full of strength, otherwise how can you attack.

after eating.

Liu Qi also asked the soldiers to set up camp on the spot, and at the same time sent many scouts to inquire about the situation in Dongjun along the way, as well as Liu Bei's current movements and so on.

If it is as they guessed.

Once Liu Bei captured Dongjun, he would also send troops northward to capture the land of Jizhou.

of course.

The soldiers sent to Jizhou to explain the information also rode fast horses and galloped away, conveying Liu Qi's orders.
