The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 234 After the war
After Cao Ren returned to Fancheng with his troops, his mood was extremely complicated.At the beginning, I really achieved excellent results, but then I was disgraced by a [-]th or [-]th Liu Chan kid, and I also lost five or six hundred elite cavalry!
While Cao Ren was annoyed, he really couldn't figure it out.He, Liu Chan, a little boy, how could he have such great courage? When his army was about to collapse, he suddenly stepped forward and shouted that he would never take a step back, and demanded that the soldiers never take a step back. What about death?

And those soldiers were really inspired by him, and they were willing to fight for him without risking their lives, blocking their own knight's iron hooves abruptly!
Cao Ren couldn't help muttering, "Liu Bei really gave birth to an unlimited number of cubs! How abominable!"

At this time, Man Chong saw Cao Ren standing still after getting off his horse at the foot of the city. He also saw that Guan Yu's army should have no plans to attack anymore, so he went down to the city to see Cao Ren and asked, "Captain , what's wrong with you? Is this a big loss?"

Cao Ren nodded with difficulty and said, "Almost half of the troops have been lost! If it weren't for Liu Chan who suddenly appeared again, I have already repelled Guan Yu now!"

Man Chong asked in surprise: "You said that the army that suddenly attacked the city gate and blocked the commander-in-chief's return to your aid just now belonged to Liu Chan?"

"Exactly. You would never have imagined that Liu Chan would personally command the battle in that infantry array, and there were only more than 2000 people, blocking my iron cavalry with more than 200 people! In the end, I had to use 500 people to break the rear. "

Man Chong wondered: "But I heard that Liu Chan's age should be between fifteen and sixteen, right? I've never heard that he can fight?"

Cao Ren sighed: "How do I know this? I had the same idea as you before, but when I saw him personally stepping forward to supervise the battle, I knew he was definitely not a cowardly person who was afraid of death. He was not only my soldier , even I am overwhelmed by his aura!"

Man Chong wondered: "Could it be that there are some capable people around him guiding him?"

"Bullshit capable people. At that time, Liu Chan was surrounded by only a few young people and a few people who looked like rangers. How could there be any capable people? Liu Chan is the biggest capable person!"

Man Chong couldn't help sighing, and said: "It seems that Liu Chan's attack on you in the west of the city was originally his own idea, not Guan Yu's plan. Fortunately, Liu Chan didn't have many troops at that time. , Otherwise, the governor will really not be able to come back this time. Alas, I blame me for being too reckless, and I asked the governor to send troops without knowing the enemy's situation."

Cao Ren waved his hand and said, "Bo Ning, don't say that, your strategy is actually good, but we never thought that Liu Chan, a kid, could see through our strategy again and again!"

Man Chong nodded.Cao Ren then asked him about the current movements of Guan Yu's army. After knowing that they had started to retreat slowly through the night, he felt a little relieved.

After Liu Chan returned to the camp, he didn't see anyone, so he went back to his tent and fell asleep.He slept like this until noon of the next day, then ate something, saw Zhuge Qiao, didn't say anything, and fell asleep on the couch again.

Even when Guan Yu came to see him in person that afternoon, Liu Chan just asked Zhuge Qiao to tell him that he was not feeling well and needed to rest for a few days.Guan Yu had no choice but to leave.

When Liu Chan said to rest, he really rested in his tent. No one knew what was going on in his mind at that time, even Zhuge Qiao, who was always by his side, didn't know.

At noon two days later, Liu Chan suddenly got off the couch by himself.After he put on his clothes and ate something by himself, his spirit seemed to improve a lot, and his face was as confident as before.

Liu Chan put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and asked Zhuge Qiao who was sitting quietly beside him, "How is the battle in Fancheng going?"

Zhuge Qiao said: "Guan Junhou is still closely surrounded by defeated soldiers. But after the big battle that day, he just surrounded but didn't fight."

Liu Chan nodded, smiled slightly and said, "It seems that my second uncle has learned a big lesson."

Seeing a smile finally appeared on Liu Chan's face, Zhuge Qiao finally relieved his doubts, but he didn't ask Liu Chan why he just slept with his head covered these days.No matter how good the relationship between myself and Shizi is, there are some things that I have to grasp well. If Shizi is unwilling to mention it again, then it's best to pretend that it never happened.

Zhuge Qiao also smiled and said, "Exactly. Cao Ren's surprise attack cost the Jingzhou army a lot of troops, and Guan Junhou is very upset about it now!"

"How about the casualties of our soldiers, should they have been counted?"

This kind of thing is Zhuge Qiao's job. He immediately stood up and said: "The loss is still very serious. 800 people were killed and 900 people were injured. Many wounded are still in danger, and the death toll is expected to continue to increase. !"

Liu Chan couldn't help sighing, the team of 700 people lost the combat effectiveness of 700 people at once, it can be said that they were crippled by Cao Ren's cavalry team!

Then, Liu Chan asked: "Is the current number of doctors enough?"

Zhuge Qiao nodded and said, "It's still enough, but the medicine is not enough."

Liu Chan wondered: "We came here this time, except we left some medicinal materials in Jiangling City, didn't we bring most of them here? Why is there not enough?"

"Generals Guan Ping and Liao Hua are also fighting now, and there is a lot of demand for medicinal materials. Although we have brought a lot of medicinal materials, in fact, after everyone divides them, it is not too much."

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Then write a letter to Jiangling City as soon as possible, saying that medicinal materials are needed here, and ask them to send them quickly. If they don't have them, ask them to call from Wuling County or go to Jiangzhou to borrow from my third uncle!" "

Zhuge Qiao said with a troubled face: "My son, actually..."

It was rare for Liu Chan to see Zhuge Qiao speak so hesitantly, and wondered, "How about it?"

Zhuge Qiao's complexion changed, and he remonstrated: "Actually, these things are not within our scope of authority. You'd better...you better not get involved too much, right?"

Liu Chan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did someone tell you something?"

Zhuge Qiao said in a low voice: "Mr. Ma Liang came yesterday, but you were resting, so I didn't let him see you. He said that although Guan Junhou is grateful to you for saving his army, he still has some grudges in his heart. "

Liu Chan sneered: "So, what you meant just now is that I should avoid suspicion now, right?"

When Zhuge Qiao saw that the son said this, he said without hesitation: "That's exactly what he meant."

Liu Chan nodded and said, "That's good, I will let the word 'avoid suspicion' be replaced by 'my job under my authority'!"

Zhuge Qiao was stunned when he heard that, what is meant by "a job under the authority"?He was about to ask, but Liu Chan had already stood up and walked out of the tent by himself.Zhuge Qiao also hurriedly followed.

After Liu Chan got out of his tent, he went straight in the direction of Guan Yu's tent.Zhuge Qiao asked: "Is the son going to see Guan Junhou? He came to see you every day for the past two days, but you didn't see him. Why are you going to see him now?"

Liu Chan smiled and said, "After you go, don't you know?"

Then, as Liu Chan walked all the way, he saw many soldiers stop and salute him immediately after seeing them, with deep reverence in their eyes.

Liu Chan couldn't help but asked Zhuge Qiao: "What's the matter with those soldiers? Have you never seen them treat me like this before?"

Zhuge Qiao smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency's performance in the Battle of Fancheng before has spread throughout the entire barracks. Everyone is saying that you are a god descending from heaven, otherwise how could you be so good at fighting?"

Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard it, and teased, "Isn't there a pattern of the Big Dipper under my feet? From this point of view, I may really be a god descending from the earth!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Qiao couldn't help showing a deep smile.

Then, whenever a soldier saluted him, Liu Chan would smile at them, and sometimes he would go up to talk to them and ask about their situation.

They walked all the way like this, talking with the soldiers all the way to the outside of Guan Yu's camp.
