Chapter 760: Unable to counterattack
Green forest mountain, at the foot of the mountain, the rout army is encamped.
There were many deserters and young men who escaped from Xiangyang, and after Liu Biao established himself in the Green Forest Mountain, his subordinates repeatedly collected these fleeing young men and deserters, and formed a rabble of thousands of people in a short period of time.
barely stood firm in the footsteps of defeat.
Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao in a few days, especially old, standing in front of the gate, looking ahead, that majestic ancient city was originally his city, but did not expect that in just a few days, it has changed hands.
He hates, he resents.
But the matter has come to this, but what can I do.
"Lord, Wen Ping, Huang Zu and Deng Long are here!"
Kuai Liang walked up from under the gate, stood behind Liu Biao, and said with a report.
"They're withdrawn?"
"It's been withdrawn!"
"There was no battle with the herdsmen!"
"Once Xiangyang is defeated, their rear is unstable, and if they reluctantly engage the herdsmen at this time, they can only add casualties!" Kuailiang analysis.
"It's my fault!"
Liu Biao smiled bitterly.
Unexpectedly, this battle was not defeated in the battle, but it was exploited by others in the three armies, and it was directly beheaded and captured the flag, but it was not yet engaged, and it was already defeated.
"Zirou, did you say I did something wrong!" Liu Biao's expression suddenly became a little silent, and he said in a low voice: "If I hadn't asked Wen Ping to withdraw his troops in the battle of Longzhongshan, and I would never have ended up in such a field with him!" ”
He regretted it a little, regretting that when he had a chance, because of his timidity, he let Mu Longtu escape, and finally lost again and again, and even lost Xiangyang City.
Not only did he regret it, but he was also a little ashamed.
I am ashamed that I don't have the courage to Mu Jing.
A young man dares to gamble with himself, why don't he dare to gamble with him?
"My lord is right!"
Kuai Liang is also unstable at this time, the Kuai family is in Xiangyang City, can't withdraw, a large family is under Mu Jing's nose, who knows what Mu Jing will do, between Mu Jing and the Shi clan, has always been not very friendly, it is normal to do something, but worry is worried, he is not an ordinary person after all, but the most effective strategist under Liu Biao, the more this moment, the more he has to be stable, he gave his hand to advise Liu Biao: "The lord seeks stability, fight step by step, that is not wrong, to be wrong, it is also our fault, It is the city of Mu Longtu that we underestimated, and also underestimated the ruthlessness of this person, he is ruthless to us, how he does not hate himself, it seems to be a planned plan, but he thinks about it more and more fiercely, the battlefield is originally full of losses, no one can guarantee survival, in order to deceive the trust of Huang Zuzhi, he meets the arrow with his body, and if he is not careful, it will be faked and defeated! ”
Mu Jing saw that it was a battle to settle Xiangyang, but the danger in it can be imagined, to risk his life, it is an indescribable courage, especially the princes of one side, few people dare to do this, because the gains outweigh the losses.
This is one of the reasons why they did not expect it.
"Shepherd! Dragon! Fig! ”
Liu Biao gritted his teeth and called the name.
He has always looked down on people who were born as thieves, even if he was the official minister of the country and the power of Mushan, he looked down on him, a pastoral scene, he looked down on him even more, but it was this person who made him experience unprecedented failure.
This is his biggest failure since entering Jingzhou.
Defeat is not just a city.
There is also the will of the people.
The reason why the Jingzhou scholars are willing to fully support him to control Jingzhou is because they think that he can protect Jingzhou, but now that he has lost Xiangyang City, countless scholars have become the anvil of Mujing, even if he kills back in the future, these scholars may also lose their absolute trust in him, and it is difficult to say whether they will still obey him.
"My lord, the matter has come to this, we have to find a place to settle first!"
Kuai Liang said persuasively.
"Go meet Huang Zu and them!" Liu Biao is a hero after all, he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said calmly.
Now, he must be at peace with the interior before he can continue to fight with the pastoral army, otherwise the Jingzhou army will be defeated without a fight.
Huang Zu, Wen Ping, Deng Long, and more than ten generals, standing in the proposed camp, when they saw Liu Biao walking in from the outside, their hearts were much calmer, when they knew the news of Xiangyang being taken away, they were frightened, even if Liu Biao was safe, they were still not very relieved, and now they see a steady Liu Biao, this is a stable heart.
"Meet the Lord!"
The three of them saluted, and then the generals followed suit.
"What about the casualties?"
Liu Biao knelt down and sat down, this time he didn't have the full number of etiquette as before, he came up and asked bluntly and coldly.
"I have less than 20,000 soldiers under my command!"
Wen Ping said in a low voice.
The first wave of casualties was when the herdsmen attacked Xiangyang City, and their casualties were presented in a straight line, and the second wave, that is, when they pursued the herdsmen, it seemed that the herdsmen were defeated, but they pursued all the way, but they were killed and injured all the way, and before they knew it, they felt that their casualties were getting bigger and bigger.
"I have only fifteen thousand soldiers left!"
Deng Long gave up.
He only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, but he still has an elite fleet of 5,000 troops, which is currently anchored in Thornwater, between Nanyang and Nanjun.
"Under the command of the last general, there are only 9,000 soldiers left!"
Huang Zu is sad from the heart.
The 30,000 elite Jiangxia army has suffered too much damage before and after, and now that it is counted, plus the remnants of Yanshan, there are only more than 9,000 people.
"I, 100,000 elites in Jingzhou, ended up like this, a certain hate!"
Liu Biao was angry from his heart, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Lord !!!"
"Lord ???"
The generals suddenly became anxious.
"No problem!"
Liu Biao waved his hand, took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "I am indignant, the blood is in my chest, and now I vomit it out, it's good, it's good!" ”
He said something bleak.
"Lord, take care of your body!"
Wen Ping arched his hand, bowed his head, and said word by word: "Although I have lost Jingzhou, I have not yet lost my way out, and I have lost its Xiangyang, but it is just a small pain, there is still the overall situation of Jingzhou in my hands, if the lord is lost, the sky in Jingzhou has collapsed, and there is no trend of turning the tables in the future, please think twice!" ”
"The heart of Zhongye, a certain Mingye!"
Liu Biao took a deep breath of turbidity, and spit out a mouthful of blood just now, which really made his heart feel a lot more comfortable, and the depressed breath of the past few days seemed to have been vomited out, and the whole person became energetic, and he personally helped Wen Ping.
With this general, he has not yet been defeated.
"If you fail to win or lose, will the Lord have the heart to recapture Xiangyang?"
Liu Biao's eyes were like electricity, and he swept away.
The three generals suddenly became silent.
Before the herdsmen attacked, they defended, the strength was still more than three times that of the herdsmen, but they were defeated, and now the herdsmen are defending, they are attacking, the strength is similar, it is difficult, it is difficult.
Even Wen Ping didn't dare to say that he could recapture Xiangyang.
"Don't you have any fighting spirit?"
Liu Biao was a little disappointed.
"Lord, it's not that the generals are not fighting, my sons and daughters of Jingzhou are all brave generals, Xiangyang is the city of my Jingzhou, even if we fight to the death, we must recapture, but now we are fleeing in a hurry, people eat horses and chew, and the consumption is huge, but my logistics are safeguarded, this is one!"
Kuai Liang stood up and spoke for the generals, saying: "Now that we are newly defeated, our morale is insufficient, and the momentum of the attack will inevitably be decadent, and there will undoubtedly be casualties in vain, this is the second!" ”
"The green forest and mountains are not a place to stay for a long time, our foothold is unstable, and the crisis is lurking, this is the three also"
He knelt down in front of Liu Biao, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, it is not impossible to fight, but it is not to fight, the herdsman army of Mulongtu is not a soldier, on the battlefield in the south, there are still strong troops in Xiangzhou, and the defeat of Xiangyang will inevitably affect Cai Dudu to fight them, if Jingzhou City is broken again, Jingzhou will be in danger, so my subordinates believe that we should first stabilize the situation, stabilize the morale of the army, and appease the battlefield on the southern front. ”
It's not that they don't want to fight, it's that after a series of battles, they suffered heavy casualties, were physically exhausted, and their morale was broken, and they simply couldn't afford to fight again.
"A certain unwilling!"
Liu Biao didn't know this truth, but losing Xiangyang was like a thorn in his heart.
"Think twice!"
Kuai Liang said loudly.
"Think twice!"
"Think twice!"
The generals bowed their heads and admonished one after another.
"Oh no!"
Liu Biao sighed sadly, knowing that in such a situation, they had a lot of remnants of troops in time, and they could fight again after regrouping, but there was no chance to attack Xiangyang, and they needed to find a new place to settle down, stabilize the situation, and have the strength to fight again.
But soon Liu Biao had already accepted this fact.
His gaze became calm, looked at everyone, and asked, "Nanjun can't stay, where can I tolerate so-and-so?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was cold.
A pair of eyes inadvertently fell on Huang Zu.
Huang Zu felt bitter in his heart, but he had to stand up and answer: "Although Nanjun can't be stayed, there is still Jiangxia in Jingzhou, and there are millions of Jiangxia people, and hundreds of thousands of young and strong people, you can continue to recruit troops to fight, and you will be able to reorganize the mountains and rivers of Jingzhou and fight the herdsmen again!" ”
He can't do it if he doesn't take the initiative to speak.
He didn't know that once Liu Biao entered Jiangxia, the era when he was in charge of Jiangxia would be gone, and even if he took back Nanjun in the future, he would not have the opportunity to become a small prince with military power in the territory again.
In this battle, Jiangxia's successive defeats are already the handle, and he is also mainly responsible for the loss of Xiangyang.
At this time, if he is not interested, he can only become a ghost under the knife.
"Very good!"
Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Huang Zu's eyes that were not so sharp.
When Xiangyang City was broken, he had the heart to kill Huang Zu.
If it weren't for the battle of Yanshan, Huang Zu would have reported that Mu Jing would have been seriously injured.
In the first battle of Longzhong, Mujing's coffin burial river was determined, and he would not have sent troops to pursue it so recklessly, and in the end, it would not have led to Xiangyang City being easily breached.
Even if he couldn't kill it, he thought about a killing stick.
But since you are so knowledgeable, then I won't settle accounts with you after the autumn, after all, you still have a strong soldier in your hand, and it is best for me to use it.
