The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 263 Full of Pets ([-])

After Liu Chan saw that the white-eared guards were gone, he immediately stopped the people and began to treat the injured people on his side.

As for those who were still angry on the enemy side, in fact, after the white-eared guards swept away, there were only a few people left.Liu Chan then ordered that if any of them could be saved, try to save them as much as possible. If it is impossible to save them, out of humanitarianism, I will give them a happy ending.

After everyone finished cleaning the battlefield, Liu Chan realized that the horse he had ridden earlier had either been burnt and bruised and escaped alive, or had been killed.However, fortunately, some of the enemy's horses can still be ridden, which is enough for people like themselves to use.

So Liu Chan sent six people back to the enemy where they fought against Huang Quan, and brought back to the barracks the bodies of the dead who were too late to bring back from his side.

Then, Liu Chan took the rest of the staff and walked slowly towards the Floating Bridge.

When Liu Chan and others arrived three miles away from the original Sima Tong barracks, they were discovered by scouts.After the scout found out that the person who came was the eldest son Liu Chan, he rushed to see him immediately.

After Liu Chan questioned the scout, he returned to Sima Tong's barracks this time under the leadership of the scout.

But at this time, the gate of the camp had already been burned down by the fire, leaving only a pile of black charcoal and ashes.Many camps in the village have been burned down, but the big fire at night has been extinguished, and now only some Jingzhou troops are still cleaning the battlefield.

The news of Liu Chan's return was immediately notified to Xiong Ping, the military commander of the first department, and Mengxi, the military commander of the second department, and they rushed to see Liu Chan.

Xiong Ping is tall and powerful, and his martial arts is also very weak, leading the rank of general.This person likes to take the lead when he starts a battle, and he looks a little desperate, so his soldiers are very brave in battle.

But Meng Xi was different, he was actually just a school lieutenant, his rank was lower than Xiong Ping's, and his position in Guan Yu's army was actually relatively low.

His stature is only medium, and his stature is also thin. He looks elegant, and his martial arts are not particularly good, but he has a good brain and is very alert, which is more in line with Liu Chan's taste, so he was specially promoted by Liu Chan. He was appointed as the Sima of the Second Division of the Zhongying Army.

Only then did Liu Chan get off his horse and began to ask the two about the results of the night attack.To Liu Chan's delight, a lot of spoils were seized in this night attack, and more than a thousand Cao soldiers were captured, which was the biggest gain of this victory.

Liu Chan nodded. This should be the biggest result he has achieved so far.

When Liu Chan was happy, he asked the two army Sima to lead the way, and quickly arranged for the enemy to rest for himself and the rangers behind.After a night of fighting, everyone's son is almost exhausted.

But Xiong Ping said: "My lord, I'm afraid you can't rest in the camp now."

Liu Chan wondered, "Why is that?"

Xiong Ping replied: "Today at noon, Mr. Ma Liang ordered someone to come to the prince to deliver the news, saying that the envoy sent by Fancheng has arrived at our army's camp."

This was the first time Liu Chan heard that Cao Ren was going to send someone to see him.Isn't Cao Ren acting abruptly in this matter?
Liu Chan's complexion immediately changed, and he said, "Cao Ren didn't even notify in advance, so he sent someone to our camp. It's really rude. Now that it is now, let the envoy wait in the camp! Anyway! This son is not so anxious about Fancheng's affairs now."

Meng Xi stepped forward and said, "My lord, in fact, Cao Ren sent someone to the camp this morning to inform the envoy about the matter. It's just that you were neither in the camp nor here, and you had already gone out to chase the enemy, so the information was not available. pass it on to you."

Liu Chan nodded. In fact, he was just looking for an excuse for himself not to go back to the camp immediately.However, now that Meng Xi has said this, he is too embarrassed to say anything more, but he is afraid that he will have to work harder, so he asks: "Which one is Cao Ren's envoy who came to see me this time? What is the purpose?"

Meng Xi replied: "Returning to the son, Mr. Ma Liang said that the envoy is Man Chong Man Bo Ning. He seems to come to you for the final negotiation on Cao Renjun's withdrawal from Fancheng."

Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Okay, Cao Ren's elm head is really enlightened. It's not in vain that I worked so hard and mobilized people to use tricks before! But, why did Cao Ren's elm head suddenly become enlightened?"

Meng Xi seems to know more and more details than Xiong Ping.He continued to reply: "According to our internal information, it seems that something major happened in Fancheng last night. Our scouts outside the city heard a burst of noisy shouts from inside the city. It's just that they didn't know what happened because of the incident. Inside the city, they couldn't go in to confirm what happened."

Liu Chan looked at Meng Xi approvingly, this guy really has a way, he obviously understands the importance of intelligence gathering very well.So even though he followed him to fight outside, the news from Fancheng was still not missed by him. This person is really a talent.

Liu Chan asked: "Could it be that the soldiers in Fancheng mutinied?"

Meng Xi had already thought about this question a long time ago. Knowing that Shizi is a person who doesn't like squeaks, he immediately replied bluntly: "This subordinate feels that this should not be the case. Because according to the reports from the scouts, there are only a few people in the city. There was no sign of a big fire or a large-scale armed conflict, and the soldiers guarding the top of the city seemed relatively calm. Based on the above signs, it is possible for the Cao soldiers in the city to break out, but mutiny should not be possible. .”

Liu Chan was very happy when he heard that Meng Xi was able to analyze the matter in such a detailed way, and said with a smile, "Very good, Meng Xi, you analyzed it very well. From this point of view, even if the Cao soldiers in the city did not mutiny, it can be seen that the hearts of the people are already very strong. Unstable. This is probably the reason why Cao Ren had to consider my suggestion to let him voluntarily evacuate Fancheng, right?"

Meng Xi cupped his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty is wise, as it should be."

Liu Chan stepped forward to help Meng Xi up and said, "You don't need to be too polite. In the future, you will continue to pay attention to more information like you are doing now. If necessary, you can come and tell me directly."

Then, Liu Chan said to Xiong Ping again: "Xiong Ping, from now on you should learn more from Meng Xi, and pay more attention to the collection of enemy intelligence."

Xiong Ping opened his eyes wide, and looked at Meng Xi very dissatisfied. Meng Xi immediately lowered his head and did not meet Xiong Ping's eyes.But of course Xiong Ping didn't dare to argue with Shizi, and immediately said he obeyed.

Then Liu Chan ordered: "Zuo Fu will return to the camp with me, and the rest of the rangers and Meng Xi will stay here to rest for one night before going back." Then, he asked Xiong Ping to dispatch a hundred cavalry to protect him and return to the camp.

At this time, the commander's tent of the Zhongying Army camp seemed quite lively.

Mr. Ma Liang is talking with Man Chong.
