LΓΌ Bu left Hou Cheng behind, and after resting for the night in Lao County, he arrived in Anyi at noon the next day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When Lu Bu returned to the camp, the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and the soldiers who patrolled there were panic and uneasiness on their faces.
Lu Bu first went to report to the military Sima office, and then registered Hou Cheng as a soldier.
Back at the camp, Lu Bu called Song Xian and Cao Xing, who were patrolling the camp.
Song Xian knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and pleaded with Lu Bu: "Song Xian is incompetent and has a heavy trust. β
In the early hours of this morning, the Xianbei people suddenly attacked, and the state army was caught off guard. Subsequently, Captain Beiguang reorganized his military horses and led the army to battle, but was defeated by the Xianbei people. Song Xian and Cao Xing were ordered to participate in this battle, and in addition to being defeated, they naturally also suffered casualties among many of their soldiers.
Song Xian only felt that he had failed Lu Bu's expectations, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty as soon as they met.
"Song Manzi, you don't want to be a hero here, and take all the sins on yourself."
Cao Xing, who was standing on the side, said mercilessly, and told Lu Bu all the reasons for this, "Boss, this is actually no wonder Song Xian, if you want to blame, you can only blame our captain, who doesn't have that strength, and he also learned to call for a heads-up, but he was stabbed in the arm by the other party, pulled out his horse and fled, causing his morale to plummet." β
"If we had fought hard from the beginning, we might not have lost." When Cao Xing said the back, he was also resentful and unwilling.
Lu Bu didn't mean to blame Song Xian in the first place, he couldn't know Song Xian's temperament anymore, he was solid and loyal, and he would never go against Lu Bu's wishes.
Now hearing Cao Xing's words, Lu Bu even helped Song Xian with his own hands and asked Cao Xian: "The five thousand Xianbei troops in Yunzhong County have all been dispatched?" β
Cao Xuan shook his head, there were only more than 1,600 people in the Beiguang Colonel's command, and if the 5,000 Xianbei troops in Yunzhong County poured out, they would not have to fight at all.
"Those Xianbei people only dispatched about 1,500 people, and now they are camped in Pingfengkou." Cao Xing replied truthfully.
Pingfeng Mouth?
Lu Bu muttered, his face a little strange.
At this time, a soldier walked into the tent and said to Lu Bu: "General Cheng Xuan'er went to the big tent to discuss matters. β
General Cheng in the mouth of the herald is naturally the commander of this army, Beiguang Lieutenant Cheng Lian.
It stands to reason that the captain's deliberations should be the military marquis and the military horse, and it will not be Lu Bu's turn to be the little centurion.
But since Cheng Lian called, Lu Bu was also ordered to go.
The big tent of the main camp was raised, and when Lu Bu arrived, there were no less than twenty people in the tent, and every few people gathered together to greet each other, and it seemed that Cheng Lian had called all the officers above the centurion to discuss the matter.
The door tent was opened again, and Beiguang Captain Cheng Lian walked in from outside the tent with a bandage on his left hand, an inner armor and an outer robe, and walked straight to the position of the coach and sat down.
The people who were originally whispering immediately divided into four columns, facing Cheng Lian, standing on the left and right, and at the same time clasped their fists and saluted: "I've seen the general." β
Cheng Lian nodded, and when he saw that the personnel had arrived, he said: "I don't want to talk nonsense, my department was attacked by Xianbei today, and the number of injured people was as many as four hundred. I have already sent the news back to Yanmen Pass. β
"I asked you to come here just to ask you what we should do next, whether to fight or retreat." Cheng Lian directly addressed the core issue of the meeting.
Cheng Lian replied with a stagnant silence.
Cheng Lian has a quick temper, and everyone in the entire battalion knows it, otherwise he would not have done that reckless thing at a critical moment.
No one wants to be a bird, if he accidentally angers Cheng Lian, he may be pulled out and whipped fifty at any time, and the experience of this kind of thing is not small in the army.
"You fucking talk!"
Cheng Lian saw that everyone was pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he scolded directly, and at the end he added a sentence full of anger, and if he didn't open his mouth, he dragged them out one by one to reward ten whips.
Cheng Lian can say it, and he can definitely do it.
Under the heavy punishment, someone finally stood up.
"General, the Xianbei people are fierce, and they have an advantage in numbers, the morale of the army is low, and you are wounded, general. I thought it would be better to retreat to Lao County first, and then make a countermeasure to the enemy. β
The person who spoke was called Wu Chong, one of the marching horses in the army, and also Cheng Lian's henchman.
Cheng Lian's face became more and more gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You mean to retreat?" Give Ma Yi to others? β
"It's a temporary retreat."
Wu Chong saw that Cheng Lian was showing signs of anger, and hurriedly added: "The general is a martial artist, but he was plotted on the battlefield. We let Mayi retreat to Lao County, first, we can paralyze the Xianbei people and make them think that we are afraid, and second, our army can adjust its life and improve morale. At that time, when the general is well injured and regrouped, the general will take the lead in the charge, and you will definitely be able to break through Xianbei in one fell swoop and regain the lost ground! β
Wu Chong deliberately said that Cheng Lian's defeat was plotted by someone, and put on a few high hats for Cheng Lian without leaving a trace.
Cheng Lian really nodded again and again when he heard it, and he could already imagine the majestic scene of breaking Xianbei in the future.
"What Wu Sima said is very reasonable, and Sun Xuan seconded it." Another person stood up and said with a fist clenched towards Cheng Lian.
Han Sheng seconded.
Wang Ke seconded the proposal.
Benga seconded.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
With the first person seconding the proposal, the people behind them quickly stood up, beating their chests one by one and saying that when they are well cultivated, they will fight with the Xianbei people to the death.
Cheng Lian saw that it was the general trend to retreat to Laoxian, and with a wave of his hand, he was ready to announce the order to retreat.
"After retreating to Lao County, if the Xianbei people come again, will they give up Lao County and retreat to Yuanping. Then, retreat to Yanmen Pass and be a shrunken turtle? β
A mocking voice sounded in the tent.
When Wu Chong heard this, his face changed at first, and then he turned around and stared at the young man who was talking viciously, and shouted: "Lu Bu, you little centurion, dare to talk nonsense here and disturb the morale of the army. Come on, drag him down with a rod and give him fifty strokes! β
Lu Bu squinted at Wu Chong, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his gaze was like a knife.
Wu Chong unconsciously took two steps back, and actually felt a chill in his back, and scolded Lu Bu: "Lu Bu, you still want to kill me!" β
You're thinking too much.
Lu Bu said in his heart, he had no interest in this person, and he didn't bother to deal with it anymore.
Lu Bu walked out of the queue and clenched his fist at Cheng Lian to ask for his life, and his tone was sonorous and powerful: "General, just give Bu 500 people, and I will calm this group of foreign thieves!" β
Cheng Lian's face became solemn again, and his frowning brow indicated that he was thinking hard and weighing the pros and cons.
And Wu Chong, who was standing in front, was not willing to be lonely, and once again pointed the finger at Lu Bu, and said in a strange manner: "Lu Bu, you are simply arrogant!" What you can't even do with a general, you can do it? Or do you think that you are better than the general? β
"Even if the general agrees, you ask everyone present, who is willing to accompany you to die!" Wu Chong pointed to the people in the arena and questioned Lu Bu.
Fifteen hundred people can't beat others, do you still expect to rely on 500 people to win?
Everyone in the tent shook their heads, and even if they went, they would only kill themselves.
Wu Chong's words were extremely damaging, which not only sowed discord between Cheng Lian and Lu Bu, but also made everyone isolate Lu Bu, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Sure enough, after thinking about it, Cheng Lian made up his mind and said to Lu Bu: "General Ben is very happy that you have the heart to fight and kill the enemy, but the odds of winning are really not big. General Ben could not gamble with the lives of his soldiers, so General Ben decided to withdraw his troops. β
"The general is wise!"
Wu Chong took the lead in shouting, and everyone behind had no choice but to echo.
Cheng Lian originally thought that this matter would come to an end, but he would have thought that Lu Bu would ask for his life again, and what he said was even more turbulent in this small tent.
"Bu Yuan led a hundred men to break the enemy, please ask the general for permission!"
