Prime Minister take care

Chapter 378 Strong Bow and Sharp Arrows
Outside Cangqiu City, Liang Jun's stronghold was established.

Huan Wu returned to his camp, feeling angry because of what happened on the shore of the Wei River.When he met Yang Xian, he originally wanted to explore Yang Xian's tone.

After all, the two armies of Liang and Shu are confronting each other at this moment, the situation has already been established, and it will be of no benefit to anyone if they continue to confront each other.

But just now on the bank of the Weishui River, Yang Xian opened his mouth and cursed. In the end, the situation became tense and it was impossible to fight without a fight.

But the problem is, we can’t fight!
Yang Xian would not be so stupid as to actually send troops across the river to attack the well-defended Cangqiu City.The [-] elites brought by Huan Wu from Shendu have already deployed layers of defenses inside and outside Cangqiu. The Shu army will not only gain nothing by attacking, but will suffer heavy losses.Moreover, the Shu army had already taken advantage in the previous battles, so it would be even more unwise to fight again at this time.

And Huan Wu couldn't get any advantage if he wanted to attack.Although the Shu general named Yang Ping was the eldest among Yang Chun's adopted sons, his glory was overshadowed by Yang An, the second eldest son. Huan Wu really didn't pay much attention to him before.However, Lieutenant Colonel Liang Jun had been exploring around the Shu Army camp in recent days and found that since Yang Ping entered Weinan, he had made arrangements, set up twelve companies, and built the Shu Army camp like an iron barrel, without any water leaking.Although the Shu army is small in number, they are all elite soldiers.What's more, most of the world's finest bows and crossbows come from Xian City, and the Shu army is still good at defending with powerful crossbows.

Originally on the bank of the Wei River, General Liang, who was angered by Yang Xian's sarcasm, wanted to fight, but seeing Huan Wu's face after entering the camp, he noticed something different, and closed his mouth one after another.

For a moment, no one spoke in this huge camp, it was deserted and strange.

"My lord, Mr. Heng has returned from a defense change!"

There was an announcement outside the camp, and soon after, Huan Heng walked in excitedly.

"Father, my son is willing to ask for orders to be the vanguard of our army to attack the Shu army!"

Fang Yuting coughed slightly, and Huan Heng was a little strange. The joy on his face did not fade away, but he saw Huan Wu's originally lowered head raised.

"Is this why you are anxious to return to Cangqiu?"

"Yang Xian deceived me and Liang Jun has no one. This time, my son will definitely be our army."

Before Huan Heng could finish speaking, he saw a penholder coming over from Huan Wu's side.Huan Wu used a lot of force, but with Huan Heng's cultivation level, it didn't matter.

If it had been anyone else, Huan Heng would have fought back, but that person was Huan Wu. How could Huan Heng dare to argue and hurriedly knelt down.

"My lord, calm down!"

All Liang generals also knelt down and cupped their hands.

Huan Wu stood up, his face flushed, and he cursed loudly.

"Attack! How to attack? The detective school came to report that Yang Xian had brought 500 million arrows and [-] powerful crossbows from Shu. The Shu army had deep ditches and high bases, strong bows and sharp arrows placed there, and Yang Xian was waiting for us Go attack! You usually don't study, you only know how to be competitive and show off your anger. Now, you actually want to go up stupidly and go back to Mei Country!"

Huan Wu scolded him, and the anger in his heart decreased a lot.Huan Wu usually showed no emotion or anger, and Liang generals rarely saw him like this.

Huan Heng, who rushed over excitedly, was like an eggplant beaten by frost. His face turned pale after being scolded, and he knelt there in grievance.

"Lord, please calm down. Young Master Heng also wanted to teach Yang Xian a lesson, so he spoke like this."

Fang Yuting stood up and rescued Huan Heng.

After hearing Fang Yuting's words, Huan Wu sat down and his face looked much better than before.After all, when Huan Wu scolded Huan Heng, it was me scolding his son.But for a group of subordinate generals, he could not do this.

Huan Wu's eyes wandered among the crowd, and finally fell on Meng Qing.

"Zong Shi, what do you think of this war?"

Meng Qing stayed at the back of the queue of subordinates and did not speak at all.Unexpectedly, Huan Wu still thought of him. "My lord, I think that the Shu army is too powerful to last long. Winter is about to come, and the food and grass snatched by the Shu army will be used up in less than a month. If Yang Xian does not retreat, he can only transfer it from the rear. Food and grass. Although the Shu army won the battle of Zhounan, the national strength was also seriously depleted and it could not withstand a long-term confrontation."

Meng Qingyan said that he only said half of what he said.Although the Shu army could not withstand the attrition, the same could be said for the Liang army.But the problem was that both the Liang and Shu armies were locked up. Huan Wu could not retreat, and it would be difficult for Yang Xian to retreat.

Meng Qing's words were better than nothing, Huan Wu nodded, and there was no good solution for the moment.

Shu army camp.

"Mistake, misstep."

After Yang Xian returned to the camp, he felt a little regretful. He had scolded him too much on the bank of the Weishui River just now, and now he couldn't stand down.This time the Shu army entered Yongzhou. Before the main force of the Liang army could react, they had already reaped huge benefits in the early battles. They should have withdrawn at this time and returned to Shu.

As for capturing Cangqiu and seizing Haojing, Yang Xian had no hope at all. It was not yet time for a decisive battle with Liang Jun.

But there must be a legitimate reason for retreating!
On the shore of the Wei River, harsh words have been spoken. If the army retreats now, it will not only lose Yang Xian's personal prestige, it will be equivalent to admitting in front of the world that the Shu army is inferior to the Liang army.

Even if Yang Xian is willing to do it, all the soldiers of the Shu army are not willing to do it!
"My lord, it's a cold winter this year. If we don't withdraw our troops now, it would be unwise to wait until heavy snow seals the mountains and we run out of food and grass before retreating!"

Yang Xian dismissed all the generals, leaving only two subordinates of the Prime Minister's Palace, Yan Le and Huang Yan, in the tent.Huang Yan made a sigh of relief, and after a little calculation, he knew that the Shu army would lose money every day south of the Weishui River.

Different from the thoughts of other generals, Huang Yan and Yan Le considered more about the cost of marching and the feasibility of military strategies.

Yang Xian nodded, holding the feather fan behind his back.

We must retreat, but the question is who should take the blame?

Shu Palace.

"Ah-choo! Ah-choo!"

Xia Gongnie, who was sitting on the throne and drawing circles boredly, suddenly sneezed twice, surprising Huang Changshi who was in a daze.

Huang Hao has been very proud of himself recently.Huang Yan has established a firm foothold in the prime minister's house and has received important attention.Huang Que even followed Yang Chun every day and received his guidance.With two people here, the Huang family will not decline and have hope of rising again.

"Your Majesty, you have caught a cold. The weather has been cold recently, so I will give you some clothes."

Xia Gongnie's big eyes widened, and her little face showed a look that was not to be trifled with.

"This has nothing to do with being cold or not. I feel like someone is plotting against me."

Huang Hao secretly thought, is there anyone in this world who can scheme against a little ancestor like you?
"Huh? Little mouse, were you slandering me just now?"

Xia Gongni turned her head slightly, staring at Huang Hao with her eyes, which shocked him into a cold sweat.

"How dare you, slave? You can see your love for your Majesty from the sun and the moon!"

"Forget it, forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you!" Xia Gongnie waved her hand as if she didn't care, "Go and feed Ahua to me!"
