Chapter 236: Reinforcements Arrive
In the end, Deng Ai said: "Our army only dispatched 1,000 cavalry, and defeated Meng with 10,000 barbarians, plus yesterday's battle, a total of 3,000 captured barbarian soldiers were killed, and their grain and grass were innumerable, and our army suffered less than 100 casualties!" ”
"The prince's tricks are really clever, not only using a knife to kill people, but using Ah Hui Lan and Dong Dan, which led to the defeat of Meng Huo's soldiers and horses."
"If Meng Shu didn't send the whole army, even if they were defeated, they could retreat to the camp, and if the whole army was defeated, they wouldn't even be able to go back to the camp."
"With just two useless people in exchange for this great victory, the son of the world is afraid that it is really the reincarnation of a saint."
After hearing the results of the battle, everyone in the hall praised Liu Chan one after another.
Liu Chan was also praised and waved his hand a little embarrassed and said: "The princes are serious, this is not my strategy alone, but the credit of several gentlemen, as well as the soldiers, if they didn't fight bravely, it would be difficult for our army to defeat Meng Shu." ”
"This is all the plan of the prince alone, I don't dare to take credit!"
Dong He, Liu Ba and others didn't dare to do so.
Liu Chan waved his hand and did not continue to argue about the matter, as the saying goes, good medicine is good for disease, and good words are good for deeds, he is not a person who likes to listen to good words.
Liu Chan muttered: "This time Meng was defeated, after going back, he will definitely meet Zhu Bao, Gao Ding, and King Zhurong to invade Chengdu again, and their troops will be 50,000 at that time, what are your strategies to deal with?" ”
Liu Ba sighed and said, "I can only hold on and wait for the lord to send troops to help." ”
Dong He nodded and said: "Yes, 50,000 soldiers and horses are not trivial, even if the prince can still use tactics to make them relax, but our army only has 3,000 soldiers, so we can't easily dispatch." ”
"It seems that I can only hold on!" Liu Chan sighed, in fact, he still didn't care about the 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he still had a plan to make the 50,000 soldiers and horses relax.
It's just that Liu Ba, Dong and them think about the overall situation, and they don't dare to attack easily, and Liu Chan can only dispel the idea of taking the initiative.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly broke in and reported to Liu Chanyu: "Prince Qiyu, the lord's reinforcements have arrived!" ”
Liu Chan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Reinforcements have arrived, so fast?" Who is in charge? ”
The soldier arched his hand and said, "It's Huang Quanjun and General Fu Wei!" ”
Liu Chan hurriedly said, "Invite them in!" ”
But after a while, Huang Quan and Fu Wei came together.
"Huang Quan, Fu Wei has seen the son!" The two came to the hall and saluted Liu Chan.
Liu Chan went down to the hall to help the two of them up and asked, "It's only been a few days since I asked my father for help, why did the two of you come so quickly." ”
Huang Quan laughed and said, "Shizi, it's actually been half a month since we came back. ”
"Oh?"
Huang Quan explained: "After the lord defeated Cao Cao again, Zhuge asserted that the strong barbarian soldiers in Nanzhong would rebel, so the lord asked me and General Fu Wei to lead 20,000 troops to return.
However, before leaving, the lord told us not to leak the news, just return to the army quietly, and let the prince solve it himself if there is a small fight. If there are too many soldiers and horses, it is not too late for us to come out to the rescue. Therefore, we traveled all the way to the city and camped, instructed the officials along the way not to leak the news, and secretly followed the history of Chengdu.
Previously, we learned that Meng was defeated, and in the past few days, King Zhurong and Zhu Bao should have led a large army over, so we led our troops back to the city to assist the prince in defending the city. ”
Liu Chan nodded, Liu Bei should have nothing to do with Zhuge Liang by doing this, and his purpose should be to train himself.
Huang Quan said with a smile: "The prince really lived up to the expectations of the lord, the original military advisor said that there was no need to send troops back to help, and the prince could solve the barbarian soldiers, but I didn't think so." Looking at the two battles of the prince today, the fight is really beautiful, even if Zhu Rong leads all the soldiers and horses to come, as long as the prince can't hold on, when his food and grass are exhausted, he will have to retreat. ”
Liu Chan smiled: "Sir, it's serious, just now we were still discussing what to do if Zhu Rong led the army to come, but Mr. led the troops to come, but it made me breathe a sigh of relief." ”
Fu Wei patted his chest and said: "The 20,000 soldiers and horses I brought are all elites, as long as Zhu Rong comes, he will not come back!" ”
Liu Chan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have more than 20,000 soldiers, even if we face those barbarians head-on, we can win the battle." It's just that King Zhurong can't kill him, even if he kills Zhurong and defeats the barbarians, they will still raise troops and cause trouble in Nanzhong after they go back.
Over there in Nanzhong, the terrain is complicated, and there are many miasma swamps, and now my father is in Hanzhong, but there is no way for us to go to pacify. If the barbarians are defeated and flee back, the land in the south will definitely be ruined.
Therefore, the best way is to capture King Zhurong and negotiate peace with him, or leave him in Chengdu, so that the barbarians will not dare to do anything wrong after they go back. After my father came back, I was fully prepared, and it was not too late to go to pacify Nanzhong. ”
Huang Quan nodded, and said with a solemn face: "What the prince said is good, it's just that Zhu Rong, as the leader of the barbarian king, wants to capture him, but it's not easy." ”
Liu Chan groaned: "It's not easy! However, we have an advantage, that is, there are 20,000 more available soldiers, and the brutes don't know about it. And the enemy army has another flaw, that is, they are a coalition army, and the people are not aligned, and I can defeat them because of the use of counter-plots. The 20,000 soldiers and horses should not show up for the time being, and look at what the situation is saying. ”
………………
…………
But it was said that Meng Shu led the remnants of the defeated army to flee all the way to Jiangyuan County, and late that night, he met King Zhurong who came from Wuyang to converge, as well as Zhu Bao, Yonghong and others.
Knowing that Meng was defeated, everyone was shocked and hurriedly summoned him into the camp to inquire about the situation.
Meng Xu explained the process of defeat in detail: "Although Liu Chan is just a little doll, but it is quite insidious, the first time I led the troops to challenge, he deliberately did not fight, dragged on until noon but suddenly faced the battle, our soldiers were tired, the three knots of the golden ring were killed, Ah Huilan, Dong Dana was captured.
This Ah Hui murmur, Dong Di's two hearts are not strong, and they were actually persuaded by Liu Chan to surrender, and after they came back, they disturbed our army's heart. I couldn't get angry, and on the second day, I led the troops to challenge, so what did Liu Chan say about sending a messenger to ask to see the king, to ask the king for marriage, and marry the princess......
Although I learned a lesson and made preparations, the soldiers believed it and thought that Liu Chan would not fight, but I did not expect him to take advantage of the defeat of our army to suddenly attack, resulting in a crushing defeat for our army...... King, then Liu Chan really sent a messenger over and said that he wanted to ......"
Meng Shu said, and glanced at Shui Luoyi.
When King Zhurong heard this, he suddenly became angry, slapped the table and shouted: "Since you know that this is Liu Chan's plan, you still knowingly ask?" ”
"That's good, that's good!" Meng Yu didn't get angry when he saw King Zhurong say this, but he breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes fell on Shui Luoyi again.
Seeing Meng Shu staring at him, Shui Luoyi couldn't help but snort coldly, and shouted: "Hmph, look at what I'm doing, you can't even beat a child, don't think I'll marry you!" ”
