Chapter 873: Shocked by all sides

"My lord, our army killed 13,000 cavalrymen, 5,000 foot soldiers, and 6,000 wounded."

Hou Cheng's eyes flashed with a gleam, looking at Lu Bu, who was sitting on top of the big horse golden knife, covered in blood and had not yet changed, he was stunned and bowed slightly, and said.

"In this battle, 41,300 enemy troops were killed, 9,000 soldiers were surrendered, ministers, and Huang Zhong's body was not seen after cleaning the battlefield."

……

"Whew."

……

Exhaling deeply, Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Since there is no body of Huang Zhong, it must be that he took advantage of the chaos to escape, so this matter will be put aside."

"Integrate the surrendered army into the infantry of the army, and the rebels will be killed on the spot, and at the same time, you will lead an army of 30,000 to defend Xiangyang City."

"No."

……

No one knew about Lu Bu's actions in Xiangyang City, but he had already been lurking in Xiangyang City, and the spies of the princes from all over the country had already sent the news of this war back.

Because of this, Kyushu was in an uproar for a while. The name of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, once again boiled in the Central Plains.

Zhao Wang Lu Bu's record was too terrifying, beyond everyone's expectations, Xiangyang City, which originally thought that it could block his footsteps, did not complete the set task at all.

The 50,000 Jingzhou army was annihilated, which reduced the chances of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's reversal again.

……

"Lord, the battle outside Xiangyang City was divided into winners and losers, Huang Zhong was seriously wounded, Leighton was killed, 40,000 of the 50,000 army were killed, and only 10,000 surrendered to Lu Bu, the king of Zhao."

At the same time, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, one of the protagonists, also got the news, but this kind of news made him angry in his heart.

"Zhang Wei, immediately send an order to General Wen and the military advisors and others, and Ben Hou will wait in the camp."

"No."

……

Huang Zhong's defeat gave Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao a head start, and let him clearly see the severity of the current situation, and because of this, the pace of moving south had to be stopped.

"My lord."

……

After a while, Wen Ping, Kuai Yue and others arrived, and now everyone is a grasshopper on the same line, and they can only let go of discord and contradictions with each other and tide over the difficulties together.

It is precisely because of this that at this moment, the civil and military officials under the command of Mu Liu Biao of Jingzhou, as well as the major forces, are unprecedentedly united.

"Sit."

Stretching out his left hand to the seat, Liu Biao's face was extremely solemn, looking at Wen Ping, Kuai Liang and the others, and said in a low tone.

"Xiangyang City was broken, Huang Zhong was seriously injured, Leighton was killed in battle, and the 50,000 army was lost."

"Boom."

……

Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's words shocked the hearts of everyone present, because they all knew in their hearts what this meant.

"Lord, why is there such a situation, even if Huang Zhong is not as good as Zhao Wang Lu Bu, I am afraid it can support half a month."

Glancing at Wen Ping, Liu Biao's eyes flashed with solemnity, and said: "In order to prevent Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, from going south to block us, Huang Zhong sent a war letter to Lu Bu, the king of Zhao."

"The two sides fought a battle outside Xiangyang City, whether it was a personal armed battle between Huang Zhong and Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, or a duel between the armies, they were all defeated."

……

"How is it possible, if Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, is so strong, how can he wait until today to go south to Xiangyang?"

Hearing Wen Ping's rhetorical question, Kuai Liang and the others were also puzzled, and they couldn't help but look at Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, hoping to get an explanation.

Hearing this, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he looked at Wen Ping, Kuai Liang and others, and said word by word.

"There is an error in the intelligence, and the army of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, who went south to Xiangyang, is not 70,000, but a full 100,000 elite divisions, among which there is the most quintessential wolf cavalry in Bingzhou."

……

"It is worthy of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, who deceived everyone from the sky and the sea."

Nodding, Wen Ping didn't say more, at this moment he had already understood the ins and outs of the defeat, and there was no need to ask again.

Now is not the time to hold accountable, what we have to do now is how to block the footsteps of Zhao Wang Lu Bu to the south.

……

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao had no choice but to ask, he knew in his heart that he was a little unhappy with these people.

Now that he has a request for others, he can only lower his voice and let go of his identity as a pastor in Jingzhou.

"What should I do now?"

Kuai Liang's eyes flashed with a gleam, and after half a ring, he looked at Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and said, "Lord, Xiangyang City is broken, and our army has reached the most dangerous time."

"The only way to do this is to go south to Changsha and let the Hou Mansion stand in Linxiang, so that the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion can operate. At the same time, Wei Yan and others in Jiangling were ordered to open the second battlefield. ”

"Order the new army to go to Jiangling as soon as possible, so that Jiangling has the capital to block the southward movement of Lu Bu, the king of Zhao."

……

Now, everyone knows that they have no way out, and since they have made a choice, they can only go all the way to the dark.

"Whew."

……

Hearing Kuai Liang's answer, Liu Bian's eyes flashed with a trace of struggle, but he made a choice in an instant, because he knew that if he didn't continue to go south, there would be only a dead end.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Biao was ruthless in his heart, looked at Wen Ping, and said: "Zhongye, pass on the order of the Hou Army, and the new army will immediately assemble in Jiangling, and Huang Zu will control it with all his might."

"No."

……

Fushi County.

In the Qinhou Mansion, Ying Fei had just put down the bamboo slips, and had an understanding of the progress of the implementation of the law change in the land of the four states.

He knew in his heart that although this matter was presided over by Jiang Wan and Li Fa, as a prince of a place, he had to know these things in his heart.

……

"Lord, there is news from Xiangyang City."

"Come in."

……

"Squeak."

Pushing open the door, Lin Feng hurriedly entered, looked at Ying Fei who was sitting precariously, and took out the letter on his sleeve.

"Lord, there is news from Heibing Tai that Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, seriously injured Huang Zhong, and at the same time personally led a large army to break the 50,000 Jingzhou army."

……

"Whew."

Exhaling deeply, Ying Fei suppressed the shock in her heart, looked at Lin Feng, rolled her eyes, and said.

"What about the casualties on both sides?"

Ying Fei doesn't really care about who wins and who loses, because for him, whoever is going to be his enemy, and what he cares about is the casualties of both sides.

Lin Feng thought for a while, raised his head, and said, "My lord, King Zhao's army killed 13,000 cavalrymen, 5,000 foot soldiers, and 6,000 disabled."

In this battle, Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, killed 41,300 Jingzhou troops and surrendered 9,000 soldiers. The deputy general of the Jingzhou Army, Layton, was killed in battle, and the main general Huang Zhong was seriously wounded and fled. ”

……

"What a speed!"

muttered, Ying Fei was still a little puzzled in his heart, according to his estimate, even if Lu Bu wanted to break through Xiangyang City, which Huang Zhong was holding, it would take at least half a month.

Now, in just three days, Huang Zhong was seriously injured and fled, the deputy general Layton was killed in battle, and the 50,000 troops were killed and wounded, which was beyond Ying Fei's expectations.

"Order the Jingzhou Department of the Black Ice Terrace to conduct a thorough investigation, and this Hou must know every specific detail of the battle between Lu Bu, the king of Zhao, and Huang Zhong."
