Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 488 Battle of Puyang ([-])

In Puyang City.

Liu Bei learned about Cao Cao and Sun Quan's rebellion.

In particular, Cao Cao raised an army of 30 and directly obtained the news of Yizhou.

If it weren't for the situation.

Liu Bei wanted to drink a lot to express his joy.

After persisting for so long, he finally had a piece of news that made him feel very excited, and it was also very beneficial to him. How could he be unhappy.

On the way back to the mansion from above the city wall, although his face was calm, the joy in his eyes could be seen at a glance.

He was also thinking about the next thing in his heart. In his opinion, the more than [-] Han troops outside the city did not pose much threat to him.

Time flies by.

soon.

Also in the evening, the sun also began to set slowly from the west, no longer exuding hot white light, but emitting golden light, illuminating the earth.

And because the sun is about to set, the air has become a little cold.

Winter is approaching, and the nights are starting to get warmer.

Liu Bei, Shen Pei, and Xu Huang were also in the mansion, still discussing the future matters. In their view, if Liu Qi wanted to keep Yizhou, he would definitely lead his troops back to help.

Otherwise, relying on the defenders of Yizhou, they would not be able to withstand the 30 Wei army at all.

But he never thought that Liu Qi would not retreat and would take the opportunity to counterattack.

During the negotiation period.

A soldier quickly walked in from outside the hall.

"Report, the camp of the Han army outside the city has pulled out its camp and is about to evacuate, and it looks very messy. Some flags have been thrown down, and there are still many camps that have not been dismantled. There is a troop leaving directly to the rear, and The remaining soldiers of the Han army are about to leave too!" The soldiers knelt down and bowed.

He was the defender on the city wall, and because the defender saw the movements of the Han army, he sent him back to report.

heard.

Liu Bei, Shenpei, and Xu Huang showed surprised expressions at first, and then turned into excited expressions.

"Go, follow me to check it out!" Liu Bei said excitedly.

Done.

He also stood up, took a step and walked out, wanting to prove it.

Xu Huang, the examiner, and the soldier who came to report also followed quickly.

And Xu Huang and Shen Pei also felt the same as Liu Bei, and they both wanted to prove it. If this is really the case, it would be a big deal for them.

The more than [-] Han troops outside the city have retreated, so they don't need to continue to stick to Puyang, and they can make other plans.

The group of people did not stop at all, and quickly walked towards the city wall.

soon.

Liu Bei and others also boarded the city wall, walked to the edge of the city wall, and looked at the Han army camp a mile away.

I see.

When Liu Bei and others walked up the city wall.

The camp of the Han army is not what it used to be, it looks very messy everywhere, the camp tents everywhere are a bit tattered, the black flags that were erected one by one before and fluttering in the wind are gone, and there are still some downturned flags. on the ground.

The gate of the village is wide open.

Originally, there were many soldiers and the big camp with bright armor, but it also looked empty and very desolate.

"My lord, the last batch of soldiers of the Han army just left the camp not long ago, and it was only a cup of tea. Some logistics troops escorted the food and grass, but the rest of the soldiers and horses have been away for a long time!" Aside, arched his hands and said.

He also told what he saw one by one.

Originally, when the first batch of Han troops left, he didn't pay much attention to it, but what happened next also caught his attention.

After the first batch of Han troops left.

The remaining soldiers in the Han army camp were dismantling the camp, so he couldn't help not paying attention, and then sent someone to report to Liu Bei. He stayed on the city wall and kept paying attention to the situation of the Han army camp. There are no mistakes or omissions.

After all, they are not far apart, and the camp of the Han army is built in the right place, and it is condescending, so it can be said that it can be seen at a glance.

heard.

Liu Bei also nodded, squinting at the empty camp of the Han army outside the city, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shenpei and Xu Huang were also at the side, staring at the Han army camp outside the city.

See here.

The defender of the city did not say any more, but stood quietly aside.

Yoshihisa
"What does Zhengnan think?" Liu Bei asked.

The judge was silent for a while, and said: "My lord, it seems that the King of Han has received the news, and looking at the situation outside, the Han army retreated so hastily, it should be worried about the situation in Yizhou, and even the big camp has not been completely removed. , has already left, and the subordinates think that they can lead the army to pursue!"

"Why?"

Liu Bei was a little puzzled.

Now that the Han army has left, according to the current situation, they only need to wait for the Han army to leave completely, and go back to support Yizhou, and there is no need to pursue or anything.

"My lord, when the Han army retreats, the first batch should be the combat troops, one step ahead and rushing to retreat to Yizhou, while the latter are the logistics troops. The subordinates think that they can catch up with the Han army's logistics troops and intercept them. That's it. It will also increase our army's grain and grass supplies, as the Han army has no less grain and grass than our army!"

The examiner paused, and continued: "The marching speed of the logistics troops is not fast, and even if our army intercepts the Han army's logistics troops, and the King of Han is worried about the situation in Yizhou, he will not turn back to support it. It can be taken without any need. Worried about any changes, you can also test whether the Han army is really withdrawing!"

Listened to the words of the judge.

Liu Bei was also moved.

There is never too much food and materials, and marching and fighting also requires food and materials to support them.

If there is another batch of grain and grass supplies.

Then there is no need to worry about food shortages.

Moreover, just as the reviewer said, the logistics troops escorting the food and supplies were not marching fast. If they wanted to pursue them, they could catch up and intercept them.

The only thing to consider is how many soldiers and horses are there to escort the food and grass troops, and whether there will be any changes in it.

immediately.

He also looked at the general defending the city, and asked, "How many Han troops are escorting food and supplies to leave later, and how long has it been since the Han troops left before?"

"Returning to my lord, there are about [-] Han soldiers who left the camp later. They started to pull out the camp after the first Han army left the camp, and then left with food and supplies!" Cheng Pian will think about it before replying.

The voice fell.

Liu Bei stroked his chin and pondered for a while.

His eyes slowly became firm, and he said: "Zhengnan stayed behind in Puyang, Gongming followed me and led [-] soldiers to pursue, stopped the Han army's grain and supplies, and asked Wen Jie to patrol everywhere!"

"promise!"

The audition and Xu Huang did not have any objections.

immediately.

Also began to prepare quickly.

Now that the decision has been made, he is not prepared to delay. After all, the longer the time passes, the farther the Han army will be away, and there will be troubles in pursuit.
