Great Han Empire

Chapter 152
Jushou looks older than his actual age, tall and thin, with a long face and long beard, two thick and thick eyebrows, a pair of radiant eyes, looks aggressive and very confident.

His attitude towards Li Hong was modest and respectful, which surprised Li Hong very much.When Li Hong first met the trial match that day, the trial match was very contemptuous of arrogance.

Jushou first expressed his apology for the negligence of Li Hong and Fengyun cavalry on behalf of the Julu County government.

"Lord Feng died suddenly, and there was no one in the city to command us. This caught us off guard. In addition, there were many things in the city that needed to be dealt with urgently, and the government office fell into chaos for a long time. Therefore, it is really rude to delay coming to see your lord until now."

When Li Hong said this to Jushou, he felt very embarrassed, felt that he was small-minded and narrow-minded, and his face immediately turned red.

"We were worried that the sudden withdrawal of the Yellow Turban Army was some kind of trick they played, so we didn't dare to slack off a little bit, put on full alert, and at the same time sent someone to notify the adults. There will inevitably be negligence during this period, please forgive me. Children can't speak, how many Offended, I apologize on my behalf." Ju Shou continued.

Seeing Jushou bowing to apologize, Li Hong hurriedly held him down, not even daring to say anything.

"I don't know if my lord has any definite news about the Yellow Turban Army?" Ju Shou asked.

Li Hong nodded, "According to reports from the scouts, they are rapidly evacuating towards Gaoyi City."

Ju Shou sighed, and said with a gloomy expression: "Master Feng and Lord Muguo of Yizhou were killed one after another, which dealt us a heavy blow. Both adults are now dead, and the army of Yizhou has also lost all. The situation..." He shook his head vigorously and lamented, "It's a mess."

Li Hong asked strangely: "How did Lord Feng die in battle? What did he do on the battlefield?"

"Your Excellency has long wished for death, and this time his wish has been fulfilled." Ju Shou said sadly, "Since the ant thief attacked the city, he has been living in the west tower, vowing to advance and retreat with the soldiers. At noon today, The west city fell, and the lord was killed by the ant thief in the battle and died for the country. Although Pan Duwei led the reinforcements to arrive in time and took back the west city from the ant thief, but the head of Master Feng has not been found. It is a pity , Mr. Feng is loyal to the country, and it is unreasonable to die without a whole body."

Looking at Jushou's heartbroken face, Li Hong asked again: "Master Ju said that Master Feng has the desire to die, what does that mean?"

Ju Shou let out a long sigh and explained: "The ant thief rebelled last year and killed Lord Feng's whole family. Master Feng's grandparents, parents, wives, concubines, children and grandchildren were all killed. No dog or dog was left in the family. No more, Master Feng is left alone. Originally, he was going to retire and return to his hometown last year to take care of himself, but who knows..."

Jushou's eyes were red, his expression was a little excited, he paused for a while, and continued, "My lord suddenly suffered such a disaster, his mind changed drastically, and he was bloodthirsty. When we wiped out the ant thieves, we always chased them all and killed them without mercy. His Xin died along with his family a long time ago. He always wanted to die, always wanted to die, and this time he finally got his wish, and his wish was fulfilled, and his death was a worthy death."

Li Hong remained silent, his heart throbbing with pain.Mr. Feng is not the only one who has encountered such a tragic disaster. Because of such a disaster, it is not Mr. Feng alone, but thousands of people who have thrown themselves into the battlefield to vengefully kill each other.The result is the same, killing, killing, killing blood and blood.

The two were silent for a long time.

"Master Ju is going back to the city today?"

"I won't go back. I'll just walk around the camp and have a look. I want to know why Hu Qi is so powerful. Under the command of the Lord, he defeated an army of 10,000+ ants with just [-] riders."

====================
In the evening, Gao Lan, Laoguai, and dozens of guard veterans rushed to the camp outside Yingtao City with a cart of grain and grass.

===

In the evening, the atmosphere in the Chinese military tent was rather depressing.

In this battle, due to the sudden retreat of the Yellow Turban Army for unknown reasons, Yingtao City was fortunately defended.However, because the Yellow Turban Army preparedly organized an army of 10,000+ to encircle and wipe out the Fengyun Iron Cavalry, not only did the troops fail to raid successfully, but instead fell into a melee and suffered heavy losses.

The Yanzhao Trilogy used 3000 men to block the 1 former Chu Feiyan army of the Yellow Turban Army. As a result, the 3000 men were basically wiped out. In the end, there were only more than 100 men left. Li Han and Fu Qiang were killed in battle.

Xianyu Yinbu blocked Chu Feiyan's left flank enemy, with 600 cavalry against [-] infantry. As a result, more than half of them were lost, and more than [-] soldiers were killed.

Li Hong personally led the Yushi Division, Yan Rou Division, and Black Leopard Yicong with a total of more than 9000 people to fight against the 7 people of the Yellow Turban Army's Yang Feng Division. Although the enemy's blocking force was severely damaged at the beginning, the [-] people from the right wing of Chu Feiyan's Division came to support them, and the battle situation changed. Falling into a stalemate, the iron cavalry lost a lot, and nearly [-] soldiers were killed.

In terms of comprehensive losses, Fengyun Iron Cavalry killed two military marquises, 1000 village chiefs, 7000 soldiers, and injured more than [-] people.There are only [-] troops left to fight on horseback, and more than half of them have been lost.

If the Yellow Turban Army hadn't withdrawn inexplicably, Chu Feiyan's central army and left wing would have rushed to the west battlefield one after another.Under the bloody battle, even if Fengyun Iron Cavalry could successfully break through, there would be only three to four thousand people left at most.It's a very lucky win.

None of the seriously injured.There are too many Yellow Turbans, and under fierce fighting, there will be no survivors.Whether it is the infantry soldiers of the Yanzhao Trilogy or the cavalry cavalry of the Cavalry Army, as long as they fall into the hands of the enemy, they will all be killed.

According to statistics after preliminary cleaning of the battlefield, the Yellow Turban Army lost about 7 people. If their siege losses are added, the Yellow Turban Army lost about 10 people.In this way, there are at least 10 Yellow Turbans who have withdrawn.

After Tian Zhong finished talking about the specific figures, he silently walked to the side of the brazier, his heart filled with sadness.Many familiar comrades-in-arms have been buried in the ground since then, never to be seen again.

Zhao Yun wept secretly.After all, Li Hanjun didn't wait for the day when he could walk back to Zhending city in a beautiful way.

Xian Yufu was also grieving alone.He and Fu Qiang have worked together in Youzhou Governor's Mansion for many years, and they have a deep relationship.Now that Fu Qiang is dead, how can I tell Fu Qiang's relatives after I return to Youzhou?
=====================

Yan Liang, who left halfway, suddenly ran in hastily.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he whispered a few words in Li Hong's ear without hesitation.

Li Hong's face immediately became very ugly.

Li Hong silently flipped through the bamboo slips on the case table and remained silent.

Jushou looked at Li Hong solemnly.

All the officers in the big tent stared at Li Hong and Yan Liang standing behind him, all of them extremely curious.Everyone wanted to know what happened, but seeing Yan Liang's solemn expression, as if rushing out to kill someone, no one dared to ask.

"Zilong, bring the map." Li Hong said calmly as he slowly rolled up the bamboo slips on the case table.

As soon as Zhao Yun took out the map from his luggage, Yan Liang ran over.He hastily snatched the map from Zhao Yun, walked to Li Hong's desk in a few steps, knelt down on the ground, and spread the map on the desk.

No one in the big tent made a sound, only the occasional crackling sound of the firewood burning in the brazier, making the atmosphere tense and depressing.

Li Hong raised his head slowly, looked at Jushou and asked softly:

"Master Ju, can Julu County provide me with food for ten days immediately?"

A burst of cheers broke out in the big tent, almost breaking through the roof of the big tent.

Yan Liang stood up abruptly and shouted loudly: "Brothers, it's time to fight."

Lou Lu hit Lu Huanyang hard, and shouted loudly: "Okay, okay, okay, it's good to follow the leopards, there are fights every day. Good."

A trace of doubt flashed across Jushou's face, he nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes."

"Maybe it will be ready tomorrow morning?" Li Hong asked.

Ju Shou pondered for a while, and said resolutely: "As long as the Lord needs it, I will rush back to the city immediately, and after discussing with Lord Chang Shi Chen and Lord Captain Pan, I will transport it to Daying overnight."

"Thank you so much." Li Hong said gratefully, and then he waved his hand to his opponent to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Leave tomorrow morning and attack Handan."

===

As soon as the soldiers walked out of the Chinese army tent, they immediately surrounded Yan Liang.

Wen Chou asked in a low voice: "Hutou, what did you say to your lord just now, so mysterious?"

"No wow." Yan Liang replied solemnly.

Tian Zhong, who was standing next to him, gave him a slap on the head, frowned and said, "Hurry up, there must be something wrong. My lord's sudden decision to make a long-distance raid on Handan City must have something to do with your news?"

Zheng Xin pretended to be vicious, and said to him: "Don't tell me if you have any news, just go and report to your lord, maybe you don't see me anymore."

Yan Liang hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Shouyan, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it. The matter is too urgent, I just want to tell the adults quickly, but I forgot you. Sorry, sorry."

"What's the matter?" Zheng Xin asked immediately.

"Zhang Niujiao is dead."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then elated, and then thought wrong, how could he know this news.

"When my subordinates were burying the corpses of the bandit soldiers in the West City, they saved a few who were seriously injured and survived. One of them was Zhang Niujiao's attendant, that's what he said."

Zheng Xin, Tian Zhong and the others looked at each other, feeling that the news was unreliable.Will Zhang Niujiao die?how is this possible?He is the head coach of the Yellow Turban Army, and he has been commanding the battle in the camp. How could he die?

Zhang He said loudly, "Where is that wounded soldier, let's ask again?"

Fist said disdainfully: "Don't go. I think the adults don't believe it just like us. He never said this, which shows that he also thinks the news is fake."

Lei Zi immediately laughed gloatingly: "Hutou, you spread unconfirmed news indiscriminately, and you will be hit with a military stick."

"Fuck you." Yan Liang lifted his leg and kicked him, and said in a bitter voice, "I want to fight, I want to kill the Yellow Turban Army, I want to avenge the brothers of Yanzhao Trilogy. Don't you want to fight for Master Li? , to avenge Lord Fu and the thousands of brothers who died?"

"It turns out that you spread false news to mislead the adults to send troops to fight for revenge." Tian Zhong pointed at Yan Liang's nose politely and said, "I think you are getting bolder."

Yan Liang hurriedly said: "Old man, the news is really what the enemy said, I didn't make it up."

Seeing his nervous look, everyone burst into laughter.

Tian Zhong patted his back affectionately, and said with heartache: "Your wound is still bleeding, can you go on the road tomorrow?"

"I want revenge." Yan Liang shouted.
