Prime Minister take care

Chapter 147
The dilapidated city looked so lonely in the beacon fire, and the roaring sound echoed across the sky.Scarlet fire bombs were like meteors in the sky, streaking across the sky above Wancheng.

There was a long road of desolate smoke, and the sky was filled with blood, and it was filled with deathly silence like the end of the world.

Cai Tong, who was in a coma, was carried on the shoulders of the soldiers of the Chu army, looking comatose.When he woke up, the Wancheng that Cai Tong had dreamed of for many years had already been hidden in the smoke.

Lying on the water, swallowing the green water in the lake like a goose, his face covered with soot was numb.

After finally calming down the suppressed anxiety in his body, his whole body became tense, and Cai Tong looked up to the sky and roared.

"Huan Wu!"

It only took Liang Jun nine days to recapture Wancheng from Cai Tong, making him a huge joke.

After venting, Cai Tong's body relaxed and he became calm again.

Cai Tong originally thought that with the strength of the Chu army, it would be enough to defend Wancheng even if it lost to the Liang army in a field battle.But what Cai Tong didn't expect was that Huan Wu was superior in skill.

The inside should be combined with the outside, and they could drive hundreds of miles. In only nine days, this fortified city in the world fell into Huan Wu's hands again.

Thinking of this, Cai Tong felt boundless hatred in his heart.

This hatred was both towards Huan Wu and Yang Xian.In a sense, it was the combined force of these two that turned Cai Tong into a big joke that was ridiculed by heroes all over the world.

Yang Xian may have seen the depth of it a long time ago, so he gave up these more than ten counties.What's ridiculous is that he was still complacent when Cai Tong won the more than ten counties.

"Send the order, our troops deployed around Wancheng will shrink across the board and retreat to Qingyang."

"But Lord Marquis, Liang Jun has already captured Wancheng. If our army retreats and Liang Jun pursues us, we may be defeated thousands of miles away!"

"Don't worry, now that Huan Wu has captured Wancheng, he may have already set his sights on Rang County."

Cai Tong smiled. Although he was defeated embarrassingly, it did not dampen his spirits.His defeated army retreated to Qingyang County, where he could sit alone in a high building and watch with a smile as the old thief Huan Wu fought with the kid Yang Xian, both of whom were injured.

After obtaining Qingyang County, the Chu army could not say that there was no gain in this battle.You know, Qingyang County is also a large county with a population of hundreds of thousands.

Thinking of this, Cai Tong no longer hesitated.He looked back at the city hidden in the dust and mist, and gritted his teeth.

"go!"

At night, in Wancheng, Huan Zhong's General Zhengnan Mansion.

Huan Wu was not very happy when Wancheng was lost and recovered.Looking at the house that had been plundered by Yang Xian without a trace of oil or water, and looking at the sculptures that had been scraped away without a trace of color, he suddenly felt a feeling of sympathy for Yang Xian in his heart.

Huan Zhong knelt in the hall, behind Huan Wu, and knelt on the ground with his head.On both sides were a group of Liang Jun generals including Huan Qing and Huan Heng.

"I am incompetent and have betrayed my lord. Please forgive me."

In a short period of time, Huan Zhong has become much older.Kneeling on the ground, his expression was completely gone, and all the Liang Jun generals could hardly recognize him.

Huan Zhong, as the general who conquered the south, commanded an army of 13, yet such a big mess occurred.Now there are only 13 to [-] Liang troops left out of [-].And Wancheng changed hands several times, and this world-famous fortified city no longer enjoyed its former prosperity.

The generals stood silently, looking at Huan Zhong without saying a word.

"Generals, who is to blame for the loss of Nanyang?"

Huan Zhong was Huan Wu's brother, but Huan Wu could not openly protect him.One of the important reasons why Liang Jun was able to conquer such a large territory is that Huan Wu had clear rewards and punishments.But for such a big pot, someone must bear it.

"My lord, the loss of Nanyang is the fault of Jin Xin alone."

At this time, Huanwu's counselor Zhao Ye walked out of the crowd and held his hand.

"Why?"

"Although General Huan Zhong made a small mistake, he did not make a big mistake. If Jin Xin had not surrendered to the Shu army because of the Lord's grace, how could Yang Xian have easily taken Rangxian, Wancheng and even dozens of Nanyang counties? Our army's How could the soldiers be in such a state? How could the lord's many years of accumulation be robbed by Yang Xian? The lord is extremely kind to Jin Xin, but Jin Xin is a snake and a scorpion, which is really disgusting. "

"What do the generals think?"

"I think what Mr. Zhao said makes sense."

All Liang generals walked out of the queue and echoed.

"In this way, Huan Zhong will be deprived of the post of general in the southern expedition and demoted to a commoner. He will be exposed to the three armies for punishment."

"Thank you so much, Lord, for your kindness."

Huan Zhong knocked his head heavily on the ground, with tears in his eyes.He understood that although it was because of Jin Xin's rebellion that Nanyang fell to this level.However, Huan Zhong, as the highest officer of Liang Army in Nanyang area, could not escape this crime no matter what.

Huan Wu spared his life, thinking of the brotherhood that had existed for many years.

"My lord, although Cai Tong has been defeated, Yang Xian is still in Rang County. If he is allowed to retreat to Yizhou safely, then our army will become the laughing stock of the world, and how will our officers and soldiers lose their face?"

Huan Youji came out and said angrily, followed by a large number of echoes.

Everyone can see who got the biggest advantage in the Battle of Nanyang this time?Yang Xian was in Rang County at this time, more than a hundred miles away from Wancheng.

If the army moves in a hurry, it can arrive in one day.For a time, many Liang Jun generals asked for battle.

Huan Wu smiled, stretched out his hands and pressed them, suppressing the generals' emotions, and then pointed to the crowd.

"Just take a walk!"

The hall was empty, and Huan Wu, Meng Qing, and Huan Qing were the only ones left in this huge hall.

Seeing Huan Qing hesitate to speak, Huan Wu chuckled and said, "Qing'er, is there anything you want to say?"

"Yes! Now Yang Xian has sent all the grain and grass and the family members of the Black Dragon Army to Dankou, and the Shu Army has also begun to set up defenses in Rangshan. Yang Xian obviously has no intention of sticking to Rangxian County, but only wants to defend the dangerous point and stop it. Our army is on the offensive to buy time. Why did my father let the generals make this trip in vain?"

Huan Wu showed a smile on his face and said: "Qing'er, I'm very happy that you can see this layer. So there is one thing I want you and Zong Shi to do next."

"Please give me your father's orders!"

"Drive all the people who were separated due to the war near Wancheng to Rang County. I want to see if Yang Xian will take these people in for his reputation?"

Meng Qing was shocked, Huan Wu's move was really poisonous!If Yang Xian leaves like this, the reputation of benevolence and righteousness he has maintained for a long time will be gone.But if those people are taken in, Yang Xian will not be able to escape in a short time, and Liang Jun will keep a close eye on Rang County.

He let his son do such a dirty thing.It seems that as the rumors say, Huan Wu has never been very fond of this son!
